Okay now full swing!
I own nothing except the stuff I made up
Power Surge
Two nights ago….
Dog Pound and Raptor were sitting in a motel room with the cloaking devices that Xever had stolen from Big Mama's vault when they first arrived. Hun was Caucasian with blonde hair tied in braid behind him but mostly slicked back tightly. He was a massively built man a wall of muscle. He glanced at the arm those two brats had scarred making a deep red line that ran up his arm starting from around his wrist. Without his disguise he was a mutant Canine Corso having been mutated with one of the Dogs of King Komodo he cared for.
Raptor a mutant Golden Eagle now had the appearance of a limber thin man with short spiky red hair in a black shirt and matching pants. He was wearing Aviator sunglasses that he had lifted up onto his head. He was playing on a switch as Xever Approached them.
Hun looked over at the Brazilian thief smirking at them with a signature grin of his own. "You get what we need?" He asked.
Xever pressed the cloaking device he had pinned inside his pocket. He changed yellow magic surrounded him as he changed into a Mutant Cheetah who smirked at him. "I'm insulted that you would even feel the need to ask that." The Cheetah Overdrive replied holding up an envelope as Hun smiled at him. He took Raptor's switch and pointed to the envelope when he scowled.
The three mutants began to look over the contents.

"I'm pretty sure the guy who took Sunita's Cloaking Broach was Xever Montes." Krysta stated firmly.
"You're absolutely sure it was the Mutant Mafia, who are in Italy?" Leo asked skeptically.
"Nothing's stopping them from coming here even if we did force them out of the Castel Sant Angelo." Krysta argued. "And I know Xever when I see him."
"Sounds like you know a lot about him." April noted.
"All I know is that he was a famous Master thief that got caught. Tiranno payed his bail and hired him on for his more stealthily jobs." Krysta huffed she didn't like thinking of her time with them.
"Guys what if they come back for Krysta!" Mikey said worriedly, before glaring at the ground. "We need to kick them out of New York!"
"I agree, but we need to keep Krysta in the lair where she'll be safe!" Raph added.
"Yes agreed she should also be behind an intense security grid!" Donnie declared.
"What?!" Krysta yelped the next thing she knew she was behind lasers three electronically locked doors. She growled crossing her arms.

The Turtles began to search the city. No way were they letting another Mikey and Draxum happen again. Mikey was particularly determined about this. As they made it to a Roof Top near Times Square Donnie began looking into his hack every camera in New York app.
"I'm in!" Donnie stated.
"See anything?" Leo asked.
"I see three thugs skulking around the ground floor of the One World Trade Center." Donnie muttered. "That's odd, he said curiously."
"Wait remember! King Komodo stole the Castel Sant Angelo! They must be trying to steal the One World Trade Center for him to rule from, which means he wants to make his base in New York!" Raph gasped. "Let's move!" he shouted as his brothers followed him.
As they rushed over it wasn't long before Leo noticed a large shadow moving around them. "Uhhh Guys…"
Raptor let out a laugh and began shooting his wing arrows at him. Making the four turtles yelp and dodge, Leo summoned a portal that caught the rest of them while, Donnie quickly turned his Tech bo into a Tennis ball cannon and began blasting at Raptor along with Leo summoning a portal to send the arrows back at him. Both attacks caught him.
However some kind of blur suddenly grabbed Leo and Donnie and sent them spinning around causing them to crash into each other into a dizzy heap.
Whatever it was, then attacked April, Mikey and Raph knocking them all down before throwing the four of them into Raph as hard as they could.
The four of them groaned lying in a pile before something jumped down with a mighty thud making the ground shake a little as they turned to see Dog Pound. Smirking down at them, immediately appearing at his left was Overdrive while Raptor landed to his right.
"You kids seem a bit too far from Home." Dog Pound sneered with a toothy grin.
"You were right they would come of Alopex was suspicious, color me wrong." Overdrive admitted.
"You guys did come back for Krysta! Well you're not getting her back!" he snarled with a glare.
"You don't get a say in our choices runt. But we're here for something much more valuable than that traitor!" Dog Pound replied. "As you may have noticed, the boss has had his eye on this place for a while now."
"And once you're all gone New York will be putty in the Tiranno family's hands!" he sneered clutching his own for Emphasis. "But tonight we dine on Turtle Soup!" Overdrive chuckled. However they suddenly noticed that the five of them were gone.
"Where'd they go!?" Raptor Squawked. "Did they really leave while we were monolouging!? That's not how it's done!"
"They clearly don't know us that well." Leo stated.
"We, be, we baby!" Mikey replied in relief with a smile.
"Alright remember Dad's teaching's stick to the Shadows time for a sneak attack!" Raph stated as they all split up and stuck to the Darkness.
April and Mikey took aim at Overdrive while the twins targeted Raptor. Raph was ready to power Punch Jutsu Dog Pound a good ten feet. Raph's markings began to glow signaling to everyone to attack.
"Power Punch Jutsu!" Raph shouted however when he went to punch Dog Pound two more copies of him instead of a massive glowing fist tumbled into Dog Pound, then two more and more and more.
"What's going on I can't stop!" Raph yelped in surprise trying to stop as more kept coming out of him. When it did stop his Avatar began to grow bigger and bigger and taller and taller.
Overdrive moved out of the way of the avatar only to see Mikey and April sneaking up on him. He dodged out of the way of their attack only to send them into the air before throwing them into the twins. Leo's sword went flying into the air and suddenly he, disappeared and reappeared into the air.
"AHHHHHHH!" Leo screamed as he starfish spun down into the ground ending up on his back with swirls in his eyes. "Waiter there's a mystic in my soup…." He mumbled incoherently.
Dog Pound rushed into finish him. "LEO!" Raph shouted trying to focus as much as he could Donnie the only one not affected by this strange Phenomenon used his Tech bo's rocket extension to knock dog pound away as Mikey and April rushed to Leo's side and helped him up.
"What's going on?" Leo asked more lucid now. The three Mutants glared as Mikey spun his nun chucks.
"I've got this!" he said however when he had his magic extend them they became more wild. He gasped as he tied not only the three Mutants up but his brothers and April instead. He gasped. "No, No, no! STOP!" he stated trying to focus his emotions and temper his power as much as he could.
But it was stronger now much more wild. He was losing control he was trying to keep it from burning or crushing everyone as he began to cry and memories came back.
Mikey as Attila tried to use his Kurosai to cut throw a large log. But it only left a scratch as Draxum snarled. "NO! Attila I said to cut the log!"
"I tried but….I…..It didn't work…." Attila muttered.
"How are you failing at such a simple task!? Are you even trying!?" Draxum snarled.
"I am!" Attila cried only to be threatened with being hit.
"I don't believe you! You're not feeling the desire enough! You're not trying hard enough! You're being lazy and incompetent! Stop holding back and get it right!"
Something snapped in Mikey as the chains became wild whipping everywhere as he dropped them. His heart was racing as his breathing began to quicken. Tears were flowing from his eyes as he curled up. He muttered sorry over and over begging Draxum for mercy.
"MIKEY!" April shouted rushing over to him. Donnie get between April and Mikey when Dog Pound charged and slammed him away before blasting Raptor with a laser managing to clip one of his wings making him unable to fly.
"Leo, Raph we need to get out of here!" Donnie called.
"Get close to me now!" Leo shouted focusing intentsely as he swung his Katanas a portal appearing beneath them. Instead of the Lair like he wanted they instead crashed into the apparment.
"What?!" they heard a familiar voice get surprise. They heard someone large jump up It wasn't long before they saw Tiger Claw looking over them. "Where'd you come from what happened?!"
"Our Powers randomly decided to stop working that's what happened!" Leo spat bitterly as he pulled Mikey into his lap. He was muttering don't go into your shell over and over again. However as he and Donnie managed to comfort him. He took deep breathes and managed to bring himself back to his senses.
"How are we, supposed to fight bad guys, if we can't control our mystic powers!?" Raph yelled anxiously "Even just trying to turn them off doesn't work!"
Mikey was in tears still but he tried to keep calm noticing his own markings along with Leo and Raph's glowing. "Guys we need to calm down! The more anxiety you feel the harder it'll be to control." He sighed shakily. "Not that I can say anything," he sighed going up in flames as he face planted. In the fire ball on the top of his head was a sad face that let out a moan.
"I'm calling your father." Tiger Claw said tapping a couple of commands into his phone. "Yeah it's me where are you?"
"Honestly trying to figure out why Krysta is behind a bunch of security." Splinter said looking at her from behind a window.
"Well it might be related to the fact that your sons just tumbled out a portal into my apartment! And they've lost control of their powers! Get over here now!"
"What!?" Splinter asked as he immediately took off.
"HEY WAIT FOR ME!" Krysta shouted as she fought her way out of the room Donnie had trapped her in and rushed towards the entrance to the sewer. She had pretty much froze, all of the tech Donnie had put her behind to get out as Klunk was at Splinter's heels. Immediately they made their way up to the surface and ran to the address Tiger Claw had given Splinter.
"Wait a minute this is April's apartment building." He said in surprise.
"No time for that come on!" Krysta shouted dragging him inside with Klunk on her shoulders as she pulled him to the elevator and pressed the third floor button. As they made it to the room 3-12 on the third floor, they noticed Carol was already here.
"Carol!?" Krysta and Splinter asked together.
"Yeah it's me, April just called and told me to come up to the third floor." Carol replied.
"This is Tiger Claws apartment," Krysta said as she knocked immediately Tiger Claw opened the door and let them in.
"Huh so you were our upstairs neighbor this whole time." Carol said thoughtfully.
"I was?" Tiger Claw asked.
"Yeah you are, your apartment is right above ours." Carol replied. "Looks like you fixed up the place too."
'Yeah it was kind of a dump when I first got here." Tiger Claw admitted. "Anyway we should figure out what's going on." Tiger Claw said as he got some Tea going.
"Are you guys okay!?" Krysta said rushing over.
"Yeah , but you shouldn't be here! You were right Komodo's goons are here in New York!" Mikey told her worriedly.
"I'm fine, we need to figure this out or things are gonna get worse!" Krysta replied.
"Okay what we should do is see if we have any idea if there were any signs of this before tonight." Carol said as they heard the wail of a Kettle in the other room.
"I just remember my power felt stronger after they pulled me out of the Dark Armor I quickly recovered what I lost and it never got my soul. But ultimately I felt…stronger…like something had been unlocked." Mikey muttered as he took some Chamomile Tea from Tiger Claw.
"I definitely felt something surge in me when I used Tiger Claw's sword to portal chop the Shredder." Leo added.
"Our Powers have been stronger too. They smash harder, go bigger. And Donnie's had idea after Idea but I don't see how that could be related." Raph added crossing his arms as Donnie smirked beside him.
"I have hyper-focused and pushed out a lot of devices with no signs of stopping any time soon." Donnie said proudly as he sipped his own Tea.
"Do you know anything Splinter?" Carol asked as the Rat Mutant hummed.
"I know our ancestors once had the power to harness an ancient mystic energy. But the knowledge of how has been lost over time." Splinter replied sadly. "I do know they were able to harness it through Meditation."
Mikey, Donnie, Raph and Leo all groaned.
"Meditation can be quite relaxing. And something tells me you could use that right now." Carol said passing a glance at Mikey who nodded in agreement with her.
"I've gotten much better with my powers since going to the School in Witch town. What the Hamatos were harnessing was definitely Mystic energy or magic. If anything's gonna help us it's gonna be the stuff at that school."
"You can't!" Mikey sputtered. "They'll go after you!"
"We don't know that exactly I was never on their side and I pretty much betrayed them. Besides there's a portal near here that will take us straight there," Krysta assured. Mikey didn't look convinced though.
"Don't worry Mikey me and April will keep her safe." Klunk assured with a nuzzle making Mikey smile, but he quickly frowned. "I don't want anything to happen to you guys either." He muttered sadly.
"We got this. In and out, and no one knows New York better than April O'Neil even the Italian Mafia!" April said with a Wink which made Mikey smile again.
"We'll be back soon!" Krysta said as the three girls went out the door. Mikey took as deep as a breath as he could. He was partly desperate to beat the anxiety away. And to get his powers under control quickly to get rid of Overdrive, Dog Pound and Raptor. He was aware of Leo and Raph starting to meditate as well.
They chanted slightly. But there was suddenly a loud drawn out chant. "OOOOHHHHMMMMSSSS LAAAWWWWWWWW." The three opened their eyes slightly and glared at Donnie. "Sorry could you guys hear that?" he asked.

"Things are set. Once the boss arrives we'll be able to take over easy." Overdrive said proud of their work. There was a ringing.
"Speaking of which," Dog Pound muttered pulling out his phone and answering. "Boss?"
"I trust things are going well?" King Komodo asked from the other end of the line.
"Yes, we're almost set for your arrival." Dog Pound replied.
"Good I have an update for you. First there have been complications, it'll take longer than expected to reach New York." Komodo said at his desk he then looked over a piece of paper on his desk. "I need you three to remain there and get the lay of the land for the time being. Also, capture Alopex."
"What why!?" Dog Pound asked in surprise. "Boss she was never on our side she teamed up with those turtles and helped cause the EPF to be onto us in the first place!"
"I agree, what has changed? You wanted nothing to do with her after we left the country." Overdrive added.
"I've calmed down a bit since then. And some interesting information has come up." Komodo told them simply.
"Okay but-" Raptor began.
"You do remember that I sign your paychecks and keep you alive right?" Komodo asked.
"Yes," the three muttered together.
"Then I don't have to tell you anything just get too it!" he ordered before hanging up the phone.
"Well that was unexpected." Overdrive huffed. Dog Pound wasn't listening he was sniffing the air.
"I have her!" he growled as he began to move and looked back waving his arm motioning them to follow. "Come on!" he said as the Golden Eagle and Cheetah mutant were right behind him.
It didn't take them long to find them cutting through a parking garage. The girls were passing through.
"Do your thing Raptor," Dog Pound said smirking as the Golden Eagle Mutant smirked back. he let his wings spread out and launch the arrows at them.
"Look out!" Klunk shouted as she turned into a shield and blocked all of them. April held her up as they rushed behind a car.
"What was that!?" April asked.
"That was Raptor!" Krysta muttered. "Are…they….are they really still after me?"
"Yes we are," Said a smooth voice. April immediately swung her bat with a shout and hit Overdrive who had quickly appeared behind them as fast as she could before the three rushed off to the door only for Dog Pound to appear.
"Nice to see you again Alopex." He sneered as the girls backed away. April got between Krysta and Dog Pound as Klunk changed into a water panther. She leapt at Dog Pound who held her away from his face effortlessly and threw her into a car. She then immediately dodged out of the way of a punch by turning into a cheetah that sped away.
She was then kicked around by Overdrive and yelped as she was hit into another car.
"Klunk!" April shouted rushing at her.
"Hate to tell you Gato but you're using Last year's Model!" Xever said with mock concern, as Krysta began trying to freeze him, Dog Pound and Raptor but with her powers weaker the two were breaking through the ice easily. Not to mention Raptor was dodging her pretty well.
"I've had a bit of Practice dealing with you!" he sneered hovering in the air.
"We can't take them!" Klunk muttered worriedly. April suddenly saw an electric box. With all her might she smashed it with her bat instantly cutting off the lights as she quickly dragged the two into a nearby room.
"Foolish girls, I can still see in the Dark!" Overdrive growled.
"So can I!" Dog pound declared.
"I can't," Raptor grumbled.

The turtles were focusing on meditating they had fallen into a relaxing trance that had long since doused the light of their marks. "Mmmmm happy place…..happy place…."Raph muttered. He suddenly got a vision of himself spread eagle in space entering's earth's atmosphere as he crash landed in a jungle. As he climbed out of the pit he saw his father in a cloak looking down on him. "Anata wa hitorijanai." Splinter said to him.
"Huh? Pops?" he asked as he climbed up after him as he began to lead him through the jungle until they began ascending the mountain. Raph did his best to hold out against the suddenly blizzard.
"You must rely on your family, as they rely on you." Splinter said cryptically.
Raph didn't really get it.
Donnie meanwhile was wandering around New York. "You need to accept it." April told him.
"What?" he asked puzzled.
"If you can't accept it, it will never become a part of you." April said mysteriously as she seemed to teleport all over the place. "Without it you'll never control or use it?"
"Use what?" Donnie asked trying to keep up with April even using his jet pack in an attempt to pin point her location.
Leo was in the middle of the wharf where he had used his powers without his Odachi for the first time.
"Are you afraid, that all your progress has come undone?" Mikey asked him. Leo was surprised to see his brother acting so sagely he had his moments but never like this.
"What me?" Leo asked scoffing, "Of course not."
"It's okay to be afraid you should be more open." 'Mikey,' "Life is about learning over and over again even some of the same lessons. You didn't have control before. And if you lose it now, you'll simply get it again. You just need to remember what you learned."
"I said I wasn't afraid," Leo deadpanned.
"Maybe in your head, but what about your heart? The Heroes of reality are a bit different from the ones in fiction.
Mikey opened his eyes he yelped to find himself back at the Devil's backbone. He whimpered. "Why here of all places!? Why was he here?!"
"You dream of your time with me." Said a voice that made Mikey freeze, he almost began panicking. Draxum glowered over him as Mikey tried to run but there was nothing but lava around him. The Bone Bridges that lead to the rest of the Hidden City were gone.
"No! I don't want to be with you! I don't want to think about that! I'm not a monster!" Mikey shouted.
"You can't escape what you are," Draxum growled. "There is no escape all that there was and ever will be has been set in motion!" he said going to strike Mikey as vines held him in place he screamed and startled himself out of his meditation as he hyperventilated.
"Mikey!" Tiger Claw shouted rushing over as his brothers and Splinter gathered around him. He slowed his breathing on Carol's instruction.
"That's it baby slow breathes." She cooed as Mikey nodded calming down.
"Michelangelo, what did you see?" Splinter asked concerned. Mikey just curled up however there was a beeping as Donnie looked over his phone.
"It's Klunk's panic button!" Donnie said. He had barely finished before Mikey had already rushed out the door. "Mikey!" he shouted. Leo was already after him as Raph rushed after him with Leo.
"Are we even ready!? I don't think we made any progress!" Donnie complained.
"Whatever we did will have to do," Raph said. "We're out of time!" he said as they rushed to the parking garage Leo helping Donnie take the lead as he calmed Mikey down.

"APRRRRILLL O'NEEEEILLL!" she shouted swinging her bat as hard as she could as Dog Pound merely grabbed it and tossed it away.
"APRIL!" Klunk shouted jumping over the girl's head as she suddenly shifted into a large red sword that opened up with a circular plate of glass at its hand guard. In between the two tops of the red blade was a blade of light or energy.
April immediately swung it and sent Dog Pound howling with pain as he clutched his chest snarling his teeth barred as they smelt iron.
"Whoa! How'd you know you could do that Klunk?" she asked as the Manado II she was holding grew cat eyes and changed back.
"Lucky guess!" Klunk replied happily. However Dog Pound suddenly grabbed the two and began crushing them in his hand.
"Last Chance, Alopex! Come quietly or these two are going to end up like a crushed can." He threatened loudly.
"Krysta no!" April grunted out but got squeezed tighter.
"STOP!" Krysta cried coming out. "You win okay! I'll come quietly just let them go!"
"Good girl," Overdrive said as Raptor and him regrouped with Dog Pound. Krysta held her head high but tears were starting to appear in her eyes as she walked forward, however…
"Power Punch Jutsu!" Raph shouted appearing from behind him them as Donnie appeared over head.
"Fibonacci!" Donnie shouted slamming his Rocket extension right into Dog Pound's head making his eyes bulge as he dropped Klunk and April. Mikey rushed over and hugged Klunk tightly.
"Are you alright!?" Mikey asked worriedly.
"Yeah, thanks to you guys, everything under control?!" Klunk desperately asked.
"Not really, but we can at least make our powers do what we want for now it seems." Mikey noted as Leo got Raptor into a portal that ejected him out into one of Dog Pound's punches before April grabbed her bat and swung it as hard as she could into Raptor sending him into the wall.
"Great! The Sooner we beat these guys the more we don't lose control!" Raph stated as Xever appeared behind him.
"Raph look out!" Mikey shouted diving in for a swing kick however he and Xever ended up crossing legs like they were swords and glared at each other upside down.
"So you too know Capoeira little turtle!" Xever sneered.
"The name is Michelangelo!" Mikey growled as he landed a kick into the crotch. Xever yelped however he was able to shake it over before making a swing kick of his own Mikey snaked low before coming up from behind Xever and wrapping his legs around the Cheetah's torso before slamming him into the ground. They continued to duck and weave around each other getting in whatever hits they could.
Leo was busy fighting Hun the Dog Mutant was incredibly powerful he was also trying to grab and crush Leo fortunately the slider had enough control over his portals to make Dog Pound punch himself.
"Haha stop hitting yourself!" Leo said over and over making Hun snarl and go for Leo's throat. Leo yelped and ducked down causing Dog Pound to get stuck in a brick wall.
"Ohh hoo, good thing you're so hard-headed," Leo said with a chuckle only for Dog Pound to quickly turned on him and backhanded Leo into Donnie who was fighting with Raptor. Dog Pound then rushed at Raph punching him several times before picking him up and slamming him down.
"RAPH!" everyone shouted as Xever after knocking Mikey into the wall attacked them all with his super speed as Krysta got between them all.
"Why!? Why are you still after me!? I was never on your side!" Krysta screamed in tears.
"Because the boss wants you," Dog Pound replied simply. "And the boss always gets what he wants."
Mikey watched as he pulled himself to his knees. "And sadly Menina, your feelings don't count here."
Mikey was instantly sent spiraling into his own memories of how the Foot Clan wanted him to power the Dark armor how Draxum wanted him to destroy humanity. His feelings never mattered to him. How he felt about. They were treating her the same way. He hated that. A vicious bubbling he remembered came back. "How dare you! How dare you not care you bastards!" he snarled.
"Mikey!" Leo shouted noticing this.
"Mikey!" Klunk shouted loudly.
He didn't hear them. His ears were ringing.
"LEAVE HER ALONE!" he snarled loudly as his markings turned bright white as Silver and black fire surged around him sucking out any light from around them. When the fire cleared Mikey's skin had gotten darker his marks were still glowing White, his colors were much darker the shadows on his body were pitch black. His mask was now black with silver flowing tips that were breaking apart with wisps of sinister light. The markings on his shell were now covered in black and silver flames shooting out like rockets.
His face was screwed up into a vicious snarl. He growled at the three Mutants. Dog Pound wasn't phased by this. His first response was to go and punch Mikey however Mikey merely grabbed his fist with one hand and with almost no effort, he lifted Dog Pound up and slammed him around not unlike he had done to Raph before throwing him into Overdrive and Raptor.
He then tied them up in his chains before dragging them through several cars and throwing them with enough force through the Parking Garage to its top floor. Mikey immediately followed them as Leo and the others rushed to the top.
Once he saw them again Mikey waved his arms and glared with a roar he summoned large glowing discs in the air that began to form and change until they became large rocks.
"HE CAN SUMMON FUCKING METEORS!" Raptor screeched in horror as Overdrive's jaw dropped in fear and shock.
Dog Pound's ears lowered against the back of his head. "Aww Crap…" he muttered as the Meteors all crashed into the three Mutants sending them flying. They dinged in the sky as everyone else had gotten to the top of the Parking Garage.
"Mikey!" Leo shouted Mikey turned on them with a slight snap of his heel he glared at them. "Easy Miguel it's us, you did good their gone, now just calm down!" Leo begged as he got worried. Krysta rushed up and showed herself to him.
"Mikey it's okay, I'm okay! We're all fine please…." Krysta stated as Mikey's eyes finally softened and he changed back to normal when he did. He fell to his knees and teared up and began wailing loudly in shame. He even let out high pitched animalistic screeches of distress as everyone rushed to his side and Klunk jumped into his arms to hug him as he continued to cry.

The two had emerged from the water. Fortunately there was logs in the Hudson to allow them to rest on. And the shore wasn't too far away. They climbed towards it. Raptor had fallen behind as he did he felt something grab his ankle and pull him back in with a cut off yelp. Dog Pound and Overdrive turned quickly to where he was, only to find a bubble popping in the water.
"What the…." Dog Pound hissed. He and Xever stood back to back as whatever took Raptor just now was still out there and hunting them.
"Show yourself coward! Come out and fight!" Xever shouted angrily. The Entity seemed to answer they turned to see it only gasping as the two were suddenly swallowed leaving Dog Pound's cell phone which began to ring again behind.
I really need to draw it out but the form seen here is the same one from the end of Prodigy in Chapter 34 just without the Dark Armor. There's a reason for this hopefully I'll get to explain it fully someday.
