I might be normal about Baja Blast Angst maybe…


I own nothing except the stuff I made up


It Came from Draxum's place!

Mikey hadn't come out of his shell for the whole day. But he finally gave into the urge to stretch. He just felt awful. The wounds from the sword of Tengu had healed completely thanks to Donnie's herbs. His brothers were decompressing. Donnie in his own way too by working. He and Tiger Claw were holed up in the garage going over the new Night Watcher Suit. Krysta hadn't said anything when she came home. She probably didn't want too especially not to him. Splinter was watching TV. Mikey knew it was his source of comfort. Either way he couldn't let go of how much sadness and anger he was feeling right now.

"Mikey?" Klunk asked pawing at him looking up at him worriedly. Mikey smiled and scratched her chin as she purred.

"It's gonna be okay! Hey, let's go steal back Krysta's Cloaking broach! And steal some for ourselves while we're at it!"

"I could get behind that." Leo said leaning on Mikey's door. Mikey gave his brother a weak smile. Leo sat beside him.

Leo suddenly leaned practically on him. "Oh, Mi hermano!" Leo trilled, as Mikey was practically about to have his chin go into his hammock. "You're looking very blue! I thought that was my thing," he said poking Mikey's cheek.

Mikey tried to stifle a laugh. His lips quivered as Leo whispered into his ear making him burst out laughing.

"So, how have you been doing?" Tiger Claw asked as he tested out gauntlets and boots for the suit while Donnie watched how neuroreceptors responded to the Tiger Mutants thoughts.

"Why do you ask?" Donnie asked.

"It's been a bit rough?" Tiger Claw noted.

"It has," Donnie said stoically. Tiger Claw wasn't sure how to proceed he could text Carol. "Why do you ask?"

"I'm just wondering how all of this affecting you." Tiger Claw said.

"I don't feel emotions." Donnie replied.

Tiger Claw knew that wasn't entirely right but it was possible Donnie was hiding his feelings. "You want to talk about it?" He asked.

"I do not." Donnie replied snippily.

"Sorry…" Tiger Claw muttered. It was a few minutes before Donnie spoke again.

"Fixing the problem is how I deal. I am making it so that Evil Tiger Claws won't be a problem anymore. With this you could overpower him easily. So, time to test out the durability of your armor. I have perfected the Neurotransmitters you're welcome!"

"You're not gonna launch a Rocket at me, are you?" Tiger Claw asked nervously.

"Have you heard from Krysta at all Apes?" Raph asked downing some water.

"Nah, I've actually been thinking of going to Witch Town to check in on her." April replied.

"Mind if I come with you?" Raph asked.

"No not at all Splints is coming too." April said as they headed to the door. They left the lair and followed Splinter to a nearby abandoned store. Splinter opened the door revealing a portal that they jumped into.

This was another door that took them to close to Witch Town but more at the back outskirts where a large castle with red rooves towered high above them. With silver flags on the spire. "Whoa welcome to Hogwarts," Raph muttered as they entered.

April led them up towards Krysta's dorm in the girl's tower. When they got there Krysta was lying on her bed staring at the ceiling. She didn't even notice them, and it was dark. Not a single light was on.

"Hey Krysta…you good?" April asked a bit worried.

Krysta just hummed sadly. She seemed to glance at them. When Raph got closer he saw small black mice with large ears and big eyes. It had a black paint brush tail and was pulling fur out of Krysta's tail. One gathered ice blue fur while the other pulled white. April noticed her hair being collected. When they looked over at what they were making it was a small quilt.

"Aww look how pretty it is!" Splinter hummed gazing in awe at the winter patterns that they had made. More Art Meece had taken all the fur that Krysta had been shedding as well but Splinter also noticed they were being watched hungrily by a couple of Bobger Trolls.

"Get away you Parasites!" Splinter hissed grabbing a slipper and batting the Bobger Trolls out the window with it as they screamed.

"Leave me alone to die…" Krysta glumly moaned.

"Okay we're going to Carol." Raph said picking her up as they began to leave the Art Meece watching as they left.

As Leo was reading a comic book, he noticed Mikey take off. "Hey Miguel?" Leo called. Mikey didn't answer. Leo jumped up and rushed out to see Klunk scratching at the door.

"Leo I need help he just took off! He muttered something about the Devil's backbone. It's an area where Draxum's lab was!" Klunk said as Leo opened the door and they rushed out.

"Why there!?" Leo asked.

"I don't know!" Klunk shouted running beside him Leo opened a portal in front of them and they jumped through. When Leo reached the other side. He recognized the area as the one they landed in a year ago almost now when they went after April and Mayhem. It didn't take them long to see Mikey standing in front of the lab.

"I'm surprised a lot of that place is still landing." Leo muttered.

"Yeah…." Klunk muttered as they quietly approached Mikey.

"Why!?" they heard Mikey growl. They heard him say. "Why did you have to grab for any of us! Why did I have to be raised by you!" Mikey growled staring at a wall. "I Wish I had lived with my brothers! My Dad, April, people who care about me! Not some psycho that wanted a doomsday weapon! I hate you so much Draxum! I Hate you! All the abuse you put me through!" Mikey sobbed. "All the pain you put me through dehumanizing me! Hitting me shouting at me! And the worst part is….You've rubbed off on me! I did what you did and now my Powers are corrupted!"

Leo and Klunk gasped just stopping themselves from making it audible as Leo hissed. "Say what now?"

X X X

Krysta blinked that's when she realized she wasn't in her dorm room anymore. "Wait?! Where am I!? What is this!?" she yelped flailing around and looking around only calming down when she found herself in April's apartment.

"Krysta, are you willing to talk about anything right now?" Carol asked. Krysta let the gears turn in her head for a few minutes.

"That bad huh?" She asked.

"Art Meese were using you art supplies when we came." April replied.

"Might as well then." Krysta sighed. "I will say in the vault something or someone tried to grab me some kind of Shadowy thing…with tendril like hands….." Krysta huffed curling in on herself.

"That's good keep going," Carol encouraged rubbing her back.

"I'm, okay, just freaked me out a bit. I am upset about the cloaking broach. But I'm sure we can find a way to get back we at least know who has it." Krysta replied. "I do miss being human a lot sometimes. But I'm more upset about Mikey. It feels like I'm the reason he turns into….that."

"His evil mode?" April asked. Krysta nodded sadly her ears drooping.

"From what April and Donnie told me, it seems to happen in moments of extreme emotion." Carol replied. "So, it wouldn't be just you. It just happened to be at these two moments. So, in theory any one of us could be a trigger."

"It might not be so bad if his powers weren't corrupted." Splinter hummed before covering his mouth.

"Wait what!?" Raph yelped.

"What do you mean his powers are corrupted!?" Krysta shouted as Splinter face palmed while Carol gave him a disapproving look.

"I wasn't supposed to say anything until he was ready to tell us!" Splinter groaned.

"But that could be forever!" Krysta groaned.

"Only Mikey knows that, and all we can do is support him." Carol replied.

Mikey sucked in a sob as tears fell down the side of his face. "I hate me! I Hate me!" Mikey snarled as he began to fiercely punch at the wall as hard as he could immediately Leo could smell blood from Mikey as he punched wall as hard as he could he heard some sickening cracks as Leo rushed over grabbing him.

"MIKEY, MIKEY!" Leo repeatedly pulled him away from the wall grabbing his wrists as Mikey began thrashing.

"Mikey stop it's us!" Klunk shouted as Mikey calmed down tears still flowing from his eyes as he looked over at Leo and Klunk. He began to sob leaning into Leo as Klunk jumped onto his shoulder and nuzzled him.

"You're okay….I've got you." Leo whispered. "Okay Let's look at your knuckles." Leo said quietly as he lead Mikey away and sat in the brightest light Leo could find as he slowly pulled off the wrapping gloves on his younger brother's arms. Mikey winced when they got a bit stuck on his knuckles Leo carefully pulled them off to see his knuckles bloodied and bruised. "Aww Mike…" Leo hissed sympathetically.

Mikey hung his head in shame. "Mikey….." Klunk muttered.

"I'm sorry." Mikey sobbed sadly.

"It's okay, Bud." Leo comfortably. He pulled out a wipe and carefully wiped off the blood. They no longer looked as bad as they did but the scrapes threatened to bleed again. Leo immediately pulled out a disinfecting spray. "Okay this is gonna sting a bit okay?" Leo warned.

Mikey nodded. He yelped when the spray hit his knuckles. Klunk nuzzled with a purr as he smiled at her. Leo pulled out some bandages and began wrapping Mikey's hands.

"Mikey why didn't you say anything about your powers? You didn't even tell me!" Klunk asked worriedly.

"Uh! How much did you hear!?" Mikey cried. Leo looked around nervously stopping what he was doing to sweat-drop. "So, everything then…." Mikey sighed. "I couldn't I was too ashamed…. honestly, it's my fault they ended up that way. Remember when I said, 'you rubbed off on me?" he asked.

"Yeah," Leo replied.

"Draxum told me that before we were born. He went to the council of heads for help. When they told him no, he stormed off to do it himself and prove a point. Fast Forward to a year ago. I get told no and storm off to prove a point. Which brought back the Shredder, almost got me killed. Got you hurt, Raph and Donnie captured. And worst of all I put Krysta and Klunk in danger! I took them to a Mystic Train with a Shimmer!"

Leo hummed worriedly. He looked at Mikey's hand yet to be done again. He had just finished the right one then moved onto the left. "Listen….I Know some part of you hates to hear this. Because you want to be independent as former youngest, I get that. But we're here and we're gonna take care of you. I know you don't want to be mean to anyone or lash out. But you think maybe you're doing the Catra thing to yourself?" Leo asked.

"What about Krysta and Dad!? They're handling their trauma so much better than I do!" Mikey protested.

"Have you seen Dad before and after! I honestly don't think so! As for Krysta she's been pretty bummed since yesterday yes about the Broach. But I think she's also worried about you."

Mikey perked up at this thoughtfully as Leo finished bandaging his hands. He blushed a little he tried to hide it when Leo smirked at it. "Don't!" Mikey wheezed embarrassed. He felt a nudge in his leg and looked over.

"We wanted to help you! We love you, you're our friend. And you're not alone or with Draxum anymore!" Klunk assured.

"Thank you…." Mikey muttered quietly as he picked up Klunk and hugged her and Leo tightly. They nuzzled as Mikey began to feel his mood lift. But then they heard something growl nearby from behind them in the ruins of the lab.

"What's that scary mystic noise." Leo muttered worriedly.

BOOOOMMM!

Bursting from the ground in a furious roar was a large blob-like monster with claws that looked glued to its side: a Crocodile mouth with a long snake tongue and a long tentacle. It had a head above the Crocodile mouth that was a gaping human-like hole with Tiger stripes and a cat-like face. At the top of it's head was a large blue mass that looked like the lure on an angular fish.

"WAHHHHHHHH!" Leo yelped as the three took off running. "IT LOOKED AT ME!"

"BAD, BAD, BAD!" Klunk shouted as they took off running the creature stumbling around after them and managing to keep pace with them.

"HOW DOES AN ELDTRICH HORROR WITHOUT LEGS RUN THAT FAST?!" Leo cried.

The creature roared but suddenly saw something in its peripheral vision when it suddenly smelt the air. It turned towards the Hidden City off in the distance. It began sniffing. The creature let out some kind of yearning sound. It turned away from the three as Mikey noticed where it was going. "Oh no! It's headed to the Hidden City!" Mikey cried. "I can't let it!" Mikey cried chasing after it.

"Mikey!" Leo cried rushing after his brother. Mikey grabbed the creatures with his nun chucks and swung him back over their heads. The beast righted itself and roared but was suddenly hit by an anvil with eyes: Klunk. She changed back and slashed its eye as she ran back to Leo and Mikey.

The beast roared at them and threw its claws out they were on stretchy arm. Klunk lead one claw into its eye as Leo used a pair of portals to make it hit itself in the head! Mikey tied it up again and began to swing it around, however it managed to pin itself to the ground causing Mikey to go flying towards it.

"Mikey!" Klunk shouted flying after him to help him, but both ended up grabbed in it's tentacle. They struggled wildly as the monster put them up to its face and burped in their faces.

"EHHUUGG!" Mikey gagged coughing.

"BAAAAADD!" Klunk hissed. The monster began to open its mouth both screamed.

"HEELLLLPPP!"

Leo gasped, thinking quickly, he pressed the button on his belt. Before opening a portal that let him go up into the air immediately, he spun like a Tornado knocking the claws and various other limbs it had out of his way. He flew up into the air again slashing the monster's face as he swung his swords to also portal chopping the tentacle in half making the creature roar in agony as blood oozed from the stub. Mikey was able to free himself and swing himself and Klunk to safety and Leo rushed over and checked them out.

"We're okay thanks to you!" Mikey assured him.

They suddenly heard the monster let out more agonized sounds as the tentacle Leo had cut off grew back and its other injuries had healed as well.

"It's got regeneration powers, like Hypno's boyfriend!" Klunk cried.

"Hypno's bisexual and has a boyfriend!? What year, month and day did that happen exactly?!" Leo cried.

"Not important!" Mikey cried. "What is, is that I'm ninety precent sure that, that thing is Draxum's failed Ooze experiments and they merged!"

The monster roared lunging at them with its large gaping mouth as they screamed Klunk immediately got bigger with wings and flew off with the two on her back.

The monster rushed after them, jumping at them constantly as Klunk yelped bad over and over.

"Again, I ask how a thing with no legs catch up so easily!?" Leo yelped.

"HOT SOOUUUUPPP!" They heard Splinter shout as he spun out of nowhere and rammed the thing in it's stomach knocking the air out of it. It hissed and stumbled back.

"DAD!" The two cried as Klunk landed and the two hugged Splinter tightly.

"You found us!" Mikey cheered.

April was at the edge of an ice road made by Krysta once they got high enough over the monster she leapt off with vigor. "APRILLLLLLL O'NEEILLLL!" April shouted as she slammed the creature in between the eyes.

"Icy Fury Gelato Kick!" Krysta shouted, zipping around the beast climbing up and down and kicking it at every angle she could reach before letting the snow fall on top of it.

"POWER SMASH JUTSU!" Raph shouted throwing a massive punch in it's face back towards the Lab Ruins knocking down one of the remaining walls. It snarled at the Hamatos as they gathered together. "We got your signal!" Raph explained.

"Then where are Donnie, Shelldon and Tiger Claw?" Leo asked confused.

X X X

"And finished!" Donnie stated proudly as he tapped in the last programing for the new Suit. "You are welcome!" he declared proudly.

"Guys!" Shelldon shouted coming in from charging until Noon. "The computer's picked up Leo's distress signal!" Shelldon cried.

"For how long!?" Tiger Claw gasped rushing to the computer to see a timer showing twenty minutes. "How'd we did we not hear this!?"

"Why did I soundproof the garage!?" Donnie groaned having slid up by him out of nowhere.

"Let's go!" Tiger Claw stated.

X X X

The creature sent everyone into the air and back down again. Krysta swung her tail after freezing it. It pinned her down in response. It lunged to bite her head off. Mikey however jumped in and spun his nun chucks unleashing a burst of hot fire into its mouth making it belch and roar in.

In rageful retaliation it grabbed them both in its claw and tried to crush them. Raph jumped up using his Mystic Power to make his arms huge and holding his hands together in a large fist and raising them above his head brought them down as hard as he could smashing the claw allowing the two to get free.

The Monster roared as it's claw regenerated and it swung it's tail hitting all three with it. They almost went flying off the edge however Leo was quick to save them with a portal.

"How do we beat this thing!?" Leo cried to Mikey.

"Just because I know what this thing is! Doesn't mean I know how to stop it!" Mikey whined.

The creature snarled snapping at them however the minute it's teeth was barred a missile flew right over breaking them apart. They turned to see Night Watcher on his new Motor Cycle with Donnie flying with his Battle Shell Jet pack beside him arms cross smugly smiling.

"Is that Tiger Claw!?" Leo asked his eyes sparkling in wonder and Awe Krysta, Mikey and Klunk immediately joining him. Shelldon flew right over them charging up a huge laser.

"BOOYAKASHA!" he shouted the laser hitting the monster right in the stomach as Tiger Claw jumped off his Motorcycle and ran up the side of the monster the lights on the bottom of his boots glowing as he gave his war claws an electric Pulse slashing at the arms, claws and Tentacles. Cutting off the Limbs and cauterizing the wounds.

"That should slow it down." Tiger Claw told them the minute he landed as he called the Motorcycle to his side. "This is sweet!"

"VERY, VERY TWO VERYS SWEET!" Krysta stated as they stared at Donnie's invention in awe as Donnie fanned himself with their amazement.

"Ahh guys it's starting to regenerate again!" April cried.

"Tiger Claw your visor should provide us an answer." Donnie replied as Tiger Claw nodded.

"How?" Leo asked.

"I managed to replicate the Crystal I took from Draxum's lab." Donnie replied.

"Is that possible?" Splinter asked quizzically.

"It looks like the Brain is in the antenna!" he called as the monster growled at them regenerating some of its limbs by now. "Raph, April distract it!" Tiger Claw shouted. "I'll get the antenna Leo I'm gonna need a portal!"

"You got it TC!" Leo declared as Raph and April rushed up to it. Raph managed to grow Bigger with some struggle he upper cut it. He had to shrink down as his powers were getting too wild. But he had managed to poke it in the eyes with a power Punch. It yelped as April smashed another claw as it was trying to regenerate.

As it screamed in pain Mikey immediately tied it up with his chains as Shelldon summoned some of his Drones to trap it in a laser ring. Klunk got huge and pinned it down while Krysta trapped it in thick ice, exhausting herself in the process.

"WHAAA!" Leo shouted, opening a portal that Tiger Claw jumped into and found himself above the monster with one well aimed slash of his battle claws. He cut the antenna off and kicked it at an angle causing the body to fall back as the monster perished.

"Whew," Tiger Claw sighed in relief as he let it retract when it finished it became a brace with a button it to activate. It even came with a panic button of his own. "I Love this." He said with a slight grin." Donnie clasped his hands together leaning his face on them with one leg up in joy.

"Ohhhhh it's even better the second time." Donnie sighed happily.

With that out of the way though Mikey had to explain about the knuckles. And what he was doing here. Krysta sighed. "Well at least you're not blaming yourself for the Broach….Mikey would it help if I said I'm not entirely okay either. When you met me, I had already grieved my human self. Not so much Carina and the others. I've had nightmares, cried myself to sleep. I've even missed a couple of days at work because of what I've been through."

"And again, Splinter's before and after." Leo said pointing to his father who glared and swatted him with his tail in response. He yelped.

"No Trauma victims is completely okay why do you have to be?" April asked.

"I…..I want to get better." Mikey said as Klunk slinked into his arms and he held her. "I know these things take time. But it's frustrating! That I can't be normal."

"Normal has nothing to do with it. It is what it is. Everyone's normal is different." Splinter assured. "And the pain will fade with time."

Mikey smiled as everyone went in for a group hug gathering around Mikey and hugging him tightly Klunk leaned in against his plastron. Just for a moment the Devil's backbone didn't bring back those awful memories.


So originally this was going to be based off Attack of the Mega Shredder. But it's plot didn't mesh well for what I had planed and what I was doing. But Baja Blast angst so….
