So the episode is kind of in Documentary form which creative, the Team gets a Cookie I don't know how well I can translate that into text. Expect screen shots possibly. Also reminder everyone is in the outfits they wore in the season two finale and movie with some differences
I own nothing except the stuff I made up
Also Leo learned the burden Raphael and to a lesser extent Donatello carry as older brothers
And how much worse it is as a burden for Raph. But he did not learn a damn thing about Humility!
Lair Games
"Okay we're rolling!" April told Raph who was waiting patiently but fiddling with his hands as she focused her camera on him. He was an Alligator Snapping turtle with dark red tipped spikes on his shell a snaggle tooth and his shoulder spikes were tipped in red. His shoulder spikes were red too. Not that you could tell with his new Ninja wrappings. "So Inquiring minds want to know, what are the Lair Games?"
Raphael: Leader of the Team; five time second place: "Ahh it started six years ago when we got swept up in the Water Bottle challenge." Raph explained.
O'Neil Productions presents…..
Michelangelo: Long Lost Brother participating in his first Lair Games: "My very first Lair games!" The Box Turtle said practically shaking and grinning widely. "I'm so excited!" The Small oriental box turtle said smiling. He had been the Warrior of the Evil Baron Draxum who had abused him constantly. But now he was with his family. He had cerulean green skin bright purple eyes sparkling with excitement. He had a dark teal shell with a different shade for its rim. On his back with gold rimmed orange patterns. On his shoulders were spots rimmed in gold but a yellowish orange. Sadly he had scars on his arm, leg and shell from his time with Baron Draxum. But since then he had painted over them with gold and orange colors to embrace them but become more. There was a large one going down his shell.
"It's a One day sixteen event brother versus brother competition." Raphael explained. "It Challenges you both physically and mentally." He said effortlessly flipping a bottle up behind him where it landed perfectly on his largest dumbbells he used as a headboard.
An April O'Neil Production…..
"My first Lair games, was the most crazy ever!" Mikey declared moving his hands for emphasis.
Four Panic buttons line up zigzag together behind the title each red orange purple and Blue
[The Lair Games: A Film by April O'Neil]
There were explosions to dismiss the Title screen.
The Lair had a large banner hanging up that Mikey had put together in a week. He was quite proud of it. Even using the new Art Tools Santa brought him for Christmas.
April focused the camera on the opening ceremony as Splinter spoke. Tiger Claw and Klunk were watching in the background as Shelldon played Camera B to the event. Buddy was Camera C.
"As is Tradition at the Annual Lair games," Splinter said wearing a referee uniform and hat. "The Winner of Last year's games-"
Leo who had been standing proudly with five gold medals around his neck turned and cut him off. "As five year champ I'd like for you all to stand while I speak." Like his brothers when they had freed Mikey from the Dark Armor. Something had triggered a change in their appearance they all had black belts and ninja wrappings around their arms and legs. Raph's covered his arms completely. Donnie's Battle Shell had changed to be black as well. Mikey's knee pads were replicas of the ones Draxum destroyed except black. Leo also had a scar from where Draxum had struck him and cut his shoulder open. It had long since healed but he now sported a portal like Mystic Dye tattoo Mikey had drawn him for Christmas via patterns for him to choose from. It was a barrage of blues similar to the ones in his portals. It covered the shoulder marking that began at the base of his neck and went down to the middle of his shoulders.
Mikey inwardly groaned at his ego. He huffed lowering his head a little he wasn't going to satisfy Leo's ego he decided and remained seated.
"Ugh losing to Leo is the worst!" Raph told April in an interview segment as she caught him smirking on the camera. "You know how they say act like you've been there before? Leo never heard that!" Raph growled spreading his arms out for emphasis as he glared.
"When I say King you say Leo King?" he asked grinning holding the microphone like he was a Rock star was Splinter glowered behind him. No one moved they just gave him an annoyed half lidded glance together. "Leo! That was great!" he said ignoring his chant was a failure. "But enough about my numerous victories there are many. This year in an effort to inspire you to be as great as I am: Whoever can best me! I will grant one wish." Leo declared.
This surprised them. "It's not about the wish; it's about bursting his over-inflated Ego!" Raph growled.
Michelangelo: Annoyed with his favorite brother: "I love Leo with all my heart. He saved my life but man is his ego obnoxiously grating," Mikey groaned leaning back in his hammock a little as he sighed.
Donatello: Five time last place, older of the 'Disaster Twins': "We have grown weary of losing even Mikey who admittedly never participated until now. As much as it pains me to admit though no one has lost worse than me…." Donnie huffed hating to admit that. He was a spiny soft shell with two lightning bolt shaped markings similar to Leo on each shoulder. One upper arm had an equal sign the other a minus. He had markings on his legs. One of which on the left leg was a lightning bolt.
The Documentary showed various clips from past lair games. One of which was Donnie trying to karate chop a watermelon and failing as Leo laughed at him. Another clip showed him trying to Frisbee throw a pizza only for it to fall on his head. Another Clip showed Donnie's second attempt at the watermelon by drop kicking it. Lifting his leg up and slamming it down on watermelon only for it to be repelled back into his face knocking him over and his goggles off as Leo laughed again.
The next clip was of year one where he was curled up in a ball as Leo and Raph battled it out bouncing Beach balls back and forth to each other.
The final clip was of Donnie pulling out his Tech-Bo and using the Rocket extension but somehow the Watermelon had broken the tip to his confusion and he was quickly caught on his own Rocket as Leo laughed hysterically.
"Mikey doesn't know what to expect from Leo. Which has me worried….a lot…Donnie and me though? We were ready for War…" Raph declared calmly.

Splinter held the Microphone going up to the camera. "Ladies and Gentlemen we are reporting to you live from our first event! Hand Stand Hill Bomb!" Shelldon who had been stationed at the top of the Ramp focused on everyone standing on their hands and skateboards. Leo had gotten Mikey an orange one for Christmas. They were balancing as best they could at the edge of the hill before them. The light before them turned green as they hopped down. "And they're off!" Splinter called.
Everyone watched in anticipation as Splinter watched the hill carefully. "Ooh it looks like someone has separated themselves from the pack." He said as Shelldon caught footage of Leo blow kissing to his brothers with style as he began to pull away from them.
"Final stretch….here they come and it's….Blue…" Splinter muttered with false enthusiasm before ripping up a piece of paper he had been clutching. He now owed Donnie twenty bucks. "I knew I shouldn't have bet on Red!" he growled.
Leo went over to Buddy's camera smirking. "I maybe bald but call me the hare because I smoke Tortoises!" he said pointing into the camera before crossing his arms smugly.
Tiger Claw: Honorary Uncle: He'll never know I put this here until it's too late hehe: "That is not how the story goes. I think Leo could benefit from living it. Plus it'd be funny." Tiger Claw said smirking slightly. He was a white Tiger with stripes over his elbows like Raph. He was wearing blue jeans with a belt and a torn jean vest. He had a scar from years of wearing a control collar and being a slave.
Splinter noticed two more pull away. "In second!" he called watching like a hawk "Is Orange and Purple!?"
Leo turned he was kind of proud for Mikey. But the Pride had given way to Donnie's sudden upset his twin may have been the master of brainy stuff but not so much the Physical aspects that was his domain between the two of them.
"I can't believe it this is unprecedented-Huh!?" Splinter had, had the Microphone snatched from him as Raph came down the hill next finishing the race and watching.
"Second place huh? What's that feel like?" Leo asked them shoving the microphone into Donnie's face.
"Stooop!" Mikey whined.
"Nardo please don't-"Donnie began before Leo cut him off.
"Because I only get first," he punned before dropping the Microphone on Donnie's head. The Soft Shell huffing with a lidded glare.
Michelangelo: Something has awakened inside of him: "Okay now I definitely want to shut his flashy blue face down!" the Box Turtle declared determinedly before smiling and rubbing his hands.
"Uhhh Mikey?" April asked worriedly.
Tiger Claw: Fears Leo may have awakened another Demon: "And Mikey is now way more competitive it's like Leo flipped some switch!"
Donatello A.k.a Othello Von Ryan, Bootyyyshaker9000: "Second baby!" he declared happily.
Raphael was NOT dreaming: "Donnie got second! Sure he tied with Mikey but that was still second! And I was like am I dreaming!?" he asked in shock.
"I just got second I just got second!" Donnie declared victory dancing before using his home made bust of himself to play as a trumpet.
Shelldon glanced at the score board above showing turtles styled after the boys in a race to a finish line. Raph's didn't move while Mikey, Leo and Donnie's all did.
For the next event they had moved to a stinky area of the sewers. The smell was suffocating like a toilet that hadn't been cleaned for years on end to where it could out gross the East River. There was a twisted tangled mass of Pipes above a small island. Whether Donnie had constructed it for the event or it had always been there. Mikey didn't know. Splinter was in a hazmat suit standing by a switch as the boys all gathered in the middle.
Both Tiger Claw and Klunk were watching nervously.
Shelldon: Robot buddy with housekeeping army and Donnie's Kid: "Dude there are totally advantages to being a robot that place is gnarly!"
"And it's a clear indoor day," Splinter announced. "Conditions are ideal as we begin event number two: Pipe Goop Chicken!"
"My Signature event," Leo declared somehow summoning a wind to make his mask tails blow. Everyone who was in their positions to sit back and watched as Leo began to boast again. "The Goop that separates' the Turtles from the Tadpoles," he said wiggling his body like a noodle. Mikey and Raph had leaned back, except for Donnie who took a moment to try and correct him.
"Uhh that's not exactly-"he began but Leo cut him off again.
"The Mice from the Rats!" Mikey held his hands together as he was nervous. But he noticed as Leo leaned back his mask tails fell, over Raph's eyes. He blew them off as Donnie leaned back.
"Yeah again you're wrong." Donnie huffed.
Leo ignored him. "Who's gonna flinch first? Well, my money's on Donnie." He said relaxing his stance and putting his hands behind his head and crossing his legs.
"Three, two, one!" Splinter called twisting the wheel ever so slightly.
Raph yelped nervously as Leo let out a laugh. "Pizza Supreme in the sky please, grant me strength!" he muttered nervously as Mikey held still not taking his eyes off the small open nozzle before them. It let out a burst of smoke before a sinister green light appeared in the nozzle.
Slowly but surely what bubbled out was a glowing radioactive green slime with a smell black crust Raph screamed. "OOOOH IT'S TOO GROSS I CAN'T!" Raph cried bowing out as Mikey held on for a few more seconds. He yelped.
"I don't even want to know what that smell is!" Mikey cried jumping onto Tiger Claw who was holding his nose Mikey clinging to him as Splinter made an announcement.
"Final two…." Splinter called as Shelldon moved the camera around the Disaster twins.
"Time to tap out brother, it's time to remember who you are…." Leo hissed.
"You first brother!" Donnie hissed with a slight snarl both referring to their vanity, texture and smell issues respectively.
The slime kept coming as the two began to sweat beads. Leo looking more nervous than usual, Donnie was pushing himself fighting any and all of his Nurodiverse urges to flee. The desire to rub Leo's beak in loss was powerful hopefully it would guide him.
"This is your last chance…." Leo muttered nervously as Donnie focused on breathing in and out quickly. He was hyperventilating a little but was able to keep his breathing under control.
Leo saw the slime was right above his head as he whined. "No! My face is too pretty to be slimed!" he cried jumping away quickly."
"Blue's out, Purple wins!?" Splinter gasped so in shock he didn't even stop the slime as Donnie grinned wildly.
"YES! I wo-oofffrmm!" he yelped as his mouth was open as Donnie was instantly covered in the most disgusting sewer slime imaginable as his brothers gathered in worry around him.
"OHMIGOSH!" Mikey cried in horror hands to his head. Raph looked at him with Shock, disgust and sympathy. Leo's was a cross between a grin and a look of sympathetic horror.
Raphael: Leader of the Team; five time second place: "The guy who wears gloves to read his comics got GOOPED!" Raphael stated in shock and disbelief.
Donatello: Suffered his first victory: "Literally the taste of victory was terrible!" Donatello answered April as Tiger Claw brought in a large bottle of anti-septic Listerine mouth wash behind him and placed it on his desk, "but figuratively Nom, nom! Nom, nom, nom!" he declared smugly.
Tiger Claw: Witness to history and has so many questions: "Do I even want to know what that stuff was?"
"No, no you don't." April replied simply.

The boys had gone up above the lair into the rafters on a large floating platform each in their own corner with their signature color. Buddy was in the rafters picking up footage with the camera while Shelldon flew around getting more dynamic footage. The Turtles stared each other down. Below them was a large pool of water for their safety. Mikey had been learning swim lessons but a couple of Floatation toys and devices were in the pool for him should he be knocked out.
"We are now on to the next event: High Raft Dance off!" Splinter declared as the lights changed from red to green.
In that moment Leo started spinning elegantly he back-flipped away just he did a raspberry in Raph's face making him growl at the Slider. Mikey was using his Capoeira he had learned behind Draxum's back. The older turtles had to watch out as the dance was deadly.
He swung around doing a sideways flip before beginning to copy the dance moves to his best effort he had seen Donnie do back on the train. Smirking Donnie copied him back as Raph suddenly fell off the platform from their movements as Leo back-flipped over them.
"Red is the first out!" Splinter announced as blurs of orange, purple, blue and green danced upon the platform.
Donnie began to spin wildly hip knocking Leo towards the edge despite Leo's own efforts to hip hit back he found himself tripping over his own feet and soon joining Raph in the water.
"Blue is out!" Splinter cried in surprise. "It's just Purple and Orange!" he called.
"GO MIKEY, GO! GO MIKEY GO! GO, MIKEY GO!" Tiger Claw who was smiling widely was shouting with Klunk and cheering for Mikey.
"We may be brothers on any other day but today…." Donnie had said to April as he glared at Mikey who glared back.
"We are rivals!" Mikey had said to her as he pulled out several backflips before spinning in his shell in the air before coming out in a corkscrew and landing right near Donnie messing up his own Maneuver causing him to flip over the side and fall the camera looking right at him from above as he flailed in the air and made a huge splash in the water that went all the way up to Mikey and splashed him in the face a little he shook it off.
There was static before the scene flipped to a proud Donnie almost in tears.
Donatello: Dance Lord defeated by his Apprentice, channels Emperor Palpatine occasionally: "They grow up and surpass you so fast!" he whimpered in joy.
The scene flipped to Mikey who was practically bouncing around the room and getting right up in the Camera. "THAT WAS THE MOST FREE I FELT IN YEARS WHOOOOOOO!" he cheered back flipping before getting tangled in his own hammock which he had sent spinning accidentally. "Uh oh…" he muffled from inside.
Raphael: Recently had to save his brother from his own Hammock: "You should've seen the look on Leo's face! It was then I knew we were witnessing history!" Raph chirped excitedly with a glare rubbing his hands together.
The next event was Pizza Darts which Donnie had won he jumped cheering and stimming happily for his victory Mikey clapped for him as Raph and Leo fell to their knees. Donnie got ahead of all of them. The fifth event was Gold Swiper.
The boys all raced by Mikey jumped over them and expertly snagged away the small chest that was up for grabs much to the disgruntled cry of his brothers. With that Mikey's turtle had inched ahead.
"Donnie and Mikey each took a victory! They were next level!" Raphael told April in an interview.
Leo had managed to win Dizzy Race allowing his turtle to progress as he was blown back by confetti. "But Leo he wasn't going down without a fight!" Mikey had said to her.
The next event was Mallow Mouth. Donnie and Leo were practically gagging on theirs as Mikey spat out all his Marshmallows. For Raph though it wasn't a competition he took more from the bag held by his shocked if not horrified Father and happily added them to the large pile in his mouth. He had won and his Turtle had advanced.
Raphael: Six Time Mallow Mouth Champion. "I can fit a whole fist in my mouth!" Raph said from his bedroom for his interview segment he lifted a fist and raised it towards his mouth. "Wanna see?" He asked opening his mouth with a slight hinge sound.
"Admittedly there's no way I could do that," Tiger Claw said with Klunk sitting beside him but thinking.
Klunk: Mikey's best friend and kitty: "I probably could do that if I turned into Raph….or an Alligator." She had gotten ganglier and bigger. As big as a full grown cat now but she would apparently get a big bigger. She had scars from when Draxum tried to kill her on her body, left front and back leg. There was even a scar on her tail. She now had her own Panic Button and a blue, orange and magenta collar all neon.
Donnie in his next interview segment smirked at April's camera. "It takes a lot to anger my dear twin. But his buttons were pushed. And that was far more delightful to me than any victory…." He smirked evilly "Evil relishing chuckle!"
Then there was an incident.
"Leonardo: chief suspect in the incident: "So we agreed? No questions about the incident?" Leo asked sitting in his dad's recliner with his IPod and headphones. He was laying across it using one of the arm rests as a leg rest and resting his shell on the other arm rest.
"Of course….." April lied…"Leo, tell me about the incident." She said quickly. Leo just glared and threw it stuff down before storming off. April looked into the Camera. She had Buddy helping her. She turned back to it and chuckled. She couldn't resist.
Donatello: A.k.a the Purple Slayer of Leo's: One of two, underdog Champs! "Going into the Penultimate event," Donnie said as Raph and Mikey had been defeated. Mikey was nursing the goose egg on his head while Raph slammed his fist into the floor. Klunk who had been comforting Mikey had giving him a slight pat with her paw. "Fridge Balance: I knew I had it." Donnie declared. "It was my day and when it's your day you just gotta ride it!" Donnie stated.
Leo was straining greatly. Veins began to appear in his neck as he began struggling to keep balance. As was Donnie though he was under less stress, as he continued, "As the great Bard once said. To thine own self BEAT LEO!" he half shouted.
Tiger Claw: I saw the whole thing: "And that was when Leo fell….Supposedly…."
"So you think he did it on purpose!" April stated. Tiger Claw crossed his arms and gave a simple but firm nod. The Segment changed.
Klunk was hovering above Leo swatting the hell out of his head as he just sat there annoyed glaring at April. Klunk: Seeker of Justice: trying her best!
X X X
"If Purple wins this event," Splinter said the grey rat mutant in an announcer suit with his hair styled like a news caster. "Leo will be unable to catch up and Donnie and Mikey will be tied!" The slider began wobbling. "Oh no Blue is starting to wobble." Leo yelped a little trying to keep still. But he then suddenly yelped tripping before everything hit the ground Donnie was caught in the cross fire. Klunk let out a scared yowl as she took off running into the other room as everyone gathered around the twins, even Tiger Claw.
"Buddies!" Frankenfoot yelped still holding his camera as everyone looked over them worriedly.
"Dudes say something!" Shelldon added.
Both groaned in response. They were on top of each other in a large pile of fridge. Splinter went in with some measuring equipment and inspected them. Soon he came to a conclusion. "Purple hit the ground first Blue wins!" Splinter declared as Leo lit up.
"Yeah whoo!" he cheered but maybe he shouldn't have because it was then April saw most of Donnie's left leg from the knee down had swelled up like an overinflated balloon and was fiercely angry with a bright red glow.
Donatello Victim of Leo's cruel assault: "IT WAS LEO HE DID IT ON PURPOSE!" Donnie accused indignantly glaring and pointing into the camera his teeth barred.
Leonardo: Outrage sincere or staged you decide: "I'm only talking to you to set the record straight!" he confirmed with a glare as he sat in the recliner cross legged. "I didn't do it on purpose I mean how could I?! I had half a Fridge on my chin!" he said he glared when April seemed unconvinced. "THIS IS JUST LIKE THE SALSBURY WITCH TRIALS!" he snapped pointing in frustration before pushing the Camera down.
Donatello: Skeptic that the incident was an accident: "The Salisbury Witch trials?" Donnie questioned disbelievingly.
The Footage flipped back to Donnie screaming in pain. "Donnie, Donnie, are you alright!?" Leo asked worriedly. He glanced at Donnie's Ankle. "Oooh boy…" He muttered nervously. It was not well.
"Raagh you did this!" Donnie accused. "You'll do anything to win my Ankle my moment GRAAAHHH!" he groaned in agony and rage.
Donatello: Recalls Traumatic Event by Brother: "I heard it pop, I thought it was all over!" Donnie said from his Lab chair sadly. "Everything I worked for everything I dreamed I-"he rubbed his forearm as the Purple lighting glistened against tears. "I….I'm sorry can I have a moment?" he asked before taking a choked sob. Leo's Turtle Advanced.

They had taken Donnie to rest in the med bay. Mikey held his hand worriedly for him as they let go. Donnie held a rose wistfully as the Door closed behind Mikey and he looked to the sky tears in his eyes. Raph sighed in his interview segment. "At that point it looked like all our hopes rested with Mikey…" he said solemnly before letting out a laugh.
Raphael: Deeply concerned for his third favorite brother: "HA! Did you see his ankle!?" he asked with a chuckle.
Michelangelo deeply concerned for Second Favorite Brother: "It was huge! I thought we should Amputate!" Mikey declared pointing to his own ankle from his Hammock with Klunk nodding from his side table.
Shelldon: Cameraman B: Team Donnie: But is there a Team Leo?: "Dude the swelling reached his knee cap you can't do that kind of damage by accident!" Shelldon declared pointing his wheels out to Donnie's direction.
Michelangelo: Determined to finish what Donnie started: "I'm not giving up!" Mikey said as the Footage saw Leo do his dive for the final event Shell bowling and finishing up looking proud of himself before looking up as the camera panned to see Mikey setting up a makeshift tower of sorts near his diving point. "It's time to go Big or go home baby!" he declared. As he finished and took a stance intense focus filled his violet eyes as he mentally prepared himself.
Leo watched nervously. "Oooh it looks like Orange wants to add some razz-ma-tazz to his dive!" Mikey temporary lost focused he liked that word but he had to focus. He recomposed himself and stiffened his stance as Leo began to sweat.
"I bet you were scared huh?" April asked.
"Scared!?" Leo asked in his interview segment, "Me of course not! I'm never scared!" He denied despite that being lie. "Is Lou Jitsu….scared of cold soup?!" he asked nervously.
It was then Mikey back flipped once sprang off with his hands landing on a box before using his Capoeira to flip himself to the next level of the ladder than sprang up as hard as he could into the air with a spin as he retracted into his shell and came gracefully down but hit all the pins in a strike and sending them flying in different directions one taking out the lower half of Franken foot who looked down at his now torn body with the legs dizzy in a corner.
"Buddy?"
"A PERFECT TEN FOR ORANGE!" Splinter declared as Raph, Tiger Claw and Klunk let out a mighty cheer. The two turtles however butted heads glaring at each other competitively. "That's it it's a tie and with Purple unable to bowl-"
"Not so fast my friend!" shouted a familiar voice. The two turned. Leo's jaw dropped as he gasped.
"WHHAAAAAAA?!" Mikey screamed out and shock at what he saw which kept continuing as Donnie made a dramatic appearance with a smoke bomb that he pushed the smoke apart holding his IV and balancing on his cast.
He looked at them, Leo specifically he looked dead in the eyes. The two amber sets looking directly at each other. "I'm here brothers….let's bowl!"
Raphael: Witnessed Donatello's Triumphant Return: "When Donnie showed up I was like….WHAAAAAA" he screamed putting his hands to his head.
Michelangelo: He's still going!: "AHHHHHH" He screamed upside down in his hammock.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH," Raph continued.
Michelangelo: AHHHHHHHHHHH: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Raphael: AHHHHHHHHHH: "AAHHHHHHHHH!"
Michealangelo: That was twenty Minutes!: "AAAAAAaaaaahhhhhtt?!"
Donatello took to the stage dragging his cast behind him. Mikey was sure he could hear the pulsing as Donnie looked down. "Donnie needs a ten to win!" Splinter called as the Soft Shell took a breath and jumped into the air with a flip.
Michealangelo: Believes in his purple brother: "I knew he could do it!" Mikey happily cheered. When Donnie tried to retract into his Shell he quickly found his cast got stuck.
Michelangelo: Nevermind…: "Is what I would say if I were crazy…" Mikey sighed.
Raphael: Still holding out for Mikey as he also doubts his purple brother: "With that Ankle rolling east to west?" he asked his voice put over the Footage of Donnie struggling to fit his leg in. "No way."
However with a groan he managed to squeeze it in and he was instantly corkscrewing around the arena almost hitting everyone cutting Buddy's walking lower half in half causing the two legs to flail helplessly as they tried to find each other. But Donnie was able to steer himself and get a strike.
"It's a Ten!" Splinter declared.
"Seriously!" Leo gasped.
"But that means all three of us tied!" Mikey added in surprise.
"Tied?!" Leo asked surprised.
Raphael: Overwhelmed by unprecedented event!: "What do we do? No one knew what to do!? Do we consult the bylaws call president Trump?!"
The Problem was soon getting sorted out however as Leo was flipping through a book that they had spent years working on. Mikey and Donnie watching from over his shoulders, Leo soon found something. Donnie began to read. "Section four: article seven. In the event of a tie the next event will be…." They looked over the twins yelped as Mikey immediately turned to Splinter who was smiling evilly.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE OLD MAN!?" he shrieked demanding an answer. Splinter just laughed he continued to laugh albeit a little less evilly in his own interview segment. In his room surrounded by most of the Lou Jitsu memorabilia he had kept himself over the years, even wearing his old glasses.
Splinter: What HAVE you done Splints!?: "I have been waiting my whole life for this!"
"Splinter's choice; Are you kidding who came up with that!?" Leo asked as he suddenly heard Splinter giggle evilly from the other room. He walked by Tiger Claw who was eating popcorn. He smirked at the Tiger Mutant making him nervous.
"I'd that away for now if I were you," he warned cryptically sliding away mysteriously with a smug grin as Tiger Claw groaned immediately losing his appetite and throwing out his popcorn before scowling and crossing his arms.
X X X
A Door with Do not enter in Pink Spray paint opened as Donnie who had traded out his cast for a medical wrap watched with Leo and Mikey all wearing Go-Pros on their helmets of their signature color Raph had fixed Franken Foot and was now part of the Camera crew having been eliminated. Klunk and Tiger Claw hung back as Spectators with Shelldon hovering above them for his angle. They looked nervously inside as the Spot lights began to dance around the room where various things and obstacles including Tire Towers were set up. And Splinter began to make a marching tune, as Shelldon zipped around the room, focusing his Camera on the three contestants.
"Dun-da-da-da dun, out of retirement; Dun-da-da-da dun, for one night only, Dun-da-da-da dun its SPLINTER!" he shouted. Then out of the Darkness sliding on a wave of some slimly white Material like an unnatural naked Seal in only a speedo and cloak Was Splinter, "time for." He announced as let what was apparently Lou Jitsu brand suntan lotion as he flipped down and then onto his feet like some unnatural blob. "The Slippery-Whippery WU!" he declared as he squirted two more bottles onto his already completely coated body that was causing a metallic sheen against his skin as he pulled off the cloak. He had shaven himself down to only his hair.
Mikey just stared with his eye askew and his mouth agape in an odd shape practically frozen as Leo just stared in shock as Donnie yelped and flinched looking away. "AHH NO WHY!?"
Both Raph and Tiger Claw gagged holding back their vomit as Klunk screamed bad in such a shriek way that agonized yowls mixed in with her voice.
"NOPE!" Franken Foot declared throwing the Camera down as he left hands up. Shelldon shut off his eyes as Klunk in her cat tree for her own interview segment flailed in the basket covering her eyes as she screamed.
Klunk: A Poor Young Soul Forever Brutally Traumatized!: "WHY SPLINTER WHY!? WHY!? WHY SPLINTER WHHHHHHYYYYY?!" she screamed falling onto her back.
The Footage flipped to a smug naked splinter covered in shave nicks with toilet paper on them.
Splinter: What Klunk said….: "Pretty great name right?" Splinter asked in a towel surrounded by his shaven fur and Lou Jitsu Memorabilia including the Lotion; which he had a lot of.
The Footage was back to the event. "Sudden death tie breaker whoever catches me will be the Champion of the 2019 Lair games!" he declared finishing squirting the two bottles he had on himself. "NOOOOWWW LET'S GO!" he called as the three looked at each other and glared Mikey rushed forward first diving at Splinter only to go rapidly spinning around him and crash in a corner. The twins butted heads and rushed forward.
"Ha! Gotcha, old man!" Leo said grabbing his arm and holding it.
"No it is I who has him!" Donatello growled at him holding Splinter's leg.
However Splinter effortlessly pulled his limbs away from his brothers as Mikey got back up and rushed in closer. They all grabbed him but Splinter was slowly slipping up through their arms he was launched out as the three crashed into each other Beaks smooshed against each other. Splinter bounced into the middle of the room. Mikey growled with a slight snarl and leapt forward trying to grab him but went flying with a cry. He attempted this with the same result several times. Donnie however tried a different angle. But he spun around Splinter before crashing into the wall above them.
"Owwww…" he groaned as Leo's attempt caused him to bounce towards Raph's discarded camera. "Oh not again!" he yelped as he crashed into it.
Splinter merely bounced into the tire towers Mikey dove in after him as Donnie crashed into the ledge behind the tallest one. He magically slid out into the air Mikey diving after him somewhat magically himself as Donnie attempted to catch Splinter however he only ended up grabbing Mikey as they both fell from Donnie being top heavy at that point. Splinter laughed as Leo ambushed him.
He dove grabbing him with both arms but Splinter slide right through them popping out of his arms and crashing by Raph into a pile that Raph followed with his Camera. Splinter laughed a little triumphantly striking a pose as Donnie dove at him sliding over him trying to grab his tail to no avail as he bounced towards the wrestling ring getting an idea.
"Out of the way!" he called to April who did so. He used the momentum from the elastic barriers to fly at Splinter. "FIBONACCHI!" he shouted with a snarl.
Mikey dove on him from above as Leo charged from where he had crashed. All three held on grabbing over and over at whatever Flab they could as Splinter smiled at them. The force from their collision flew them upward. Splinter merely began to spin wildly to shake the three Turtles off. But they would not give in.
"We all know how this ends brothers!" Leo growled.
"Not today!" Donnie hissed.
"I have come….too far to lose now Leo!" Mikey declared.
"Neither of you can beat me! I'm the Best there is and the best there ever will be!" Leo boasted as they were both whacked with Splinter's flab repeatedly.
"Neither of us have, to win Leo! YOU JUST HAVE TO LOSE!" Donnie declared dramatically as Splinter spun even faster causing them to go flying Donnie was below Leo who was grinning he had the old rat. Well his Speedo anyway his Grin faded as he flailed and hit the ground as Donnie fell on top of him.
"I started out a never Donnie but in the end," Raph said.
"I was actually rooting for Mikey." Donnie admitted.
The two looked up Mikey had Splinter and was plummeting towards them. "COWABUNGA!" he said before bursting out into evil laughter of his own the twins screamed and held each other as Mikey crashed into them a wave of Lotion flying everywhere and hitting a nearby camera that had watched the impact from the side.

"For my wish," Mikey said smugly. "I Want a Plaque that says all time Champ of 2019!" Mikey declared before hugging Leo. "Good Game."
Leo couldn't help but soften at this. At least until Donnie looked at him with an arrogant smirk teeth grinning as he looked like he had something to say as his silver medal hung from around his neck proudly. "So my dear twin I thought you only got First…..but it would appear you also get THIRD!" he said bursting into a fit of Laughter as Mikey couldn't help but chuckle he however let Leo go so he could get away putting his hand out to camera silently saying 'no comment.' "THIRD! THIRRRD THIRD DEGREE BURN!" Donnie laughed pointing after his twin rapidly, as the Footage Flipped to Raph and Tiger Claw sitting together.
"Just remember it's all in the wrist!" Raph instructed as April focused on Tiger Claw gripping the tip of a water bottle in his index finger and thumb.
"So like this?" Tiger Claw asked flipping it up. The bottle twirled in the air and came down standing up. "WHOA!" he yelped surprised.
"I know right?!" Raph asked happily.
I wasn't quite sure how to tackle this episode. I wanted to give Mikey the Win because he had been through a lot. At the same time I didn't want to take away Donnie's victory so this is the result. And yes Leo was actually trying here. My theory is he wanted Donnie to sound Proof his Room. I guess he got the Long, Long, Long List answer when he asked. That'll be the case here but Leo's room has long since been sound proofed. I'll explain later…
