Oh, hey! Guess what time it is? Time for a brand-new update for "Metamorphosis! First of all, I just want to wish all you readers a very Merry Christmas! In the last update, our heroes got all the ingredients they need to turn Xenon/Blake back to normal. The last one they needed was MacGuffum 237, which was being held in Mega Sci Scorp owned by a ram scientist named Dr. Marz, who planned to exterminate pests with carnivorous locusts. Now, let us see what our heroes are in for today! Enjoy!


"Well, finally!" Michelangelo exclaimed with relief. "We got the MacGuffum 237!" He holds up a test tube full of MacGuffum 237.

"Thank goodness!" Xenon interjected.

"Uh, guys?" Leonardo asked with concern. "I don't think it was such a good idea doing what we just did."

"What do you mean, Leo?" Donatello asked his brother.

"Well, Dr. Marz's company got shut down because of us. Don't you think it's possible that he might sues us for that, and continue his mad experiments?"

"I understand your words, bro, but we had no choice. Think of the destruction that could've happened if we didn't do it. What's important right now is that we got the MacGuffum. Besides, Marz is now virtually unable to win any cause because I consider his locust plan to be very damning against him."

"Which means we have one last mission!" Xenon announced. "We have to invade Baxter Stockman's hideout and get some Metasi-porium."

"One problem, Baxter's hideout is basically the Foot Clan's hideout!" Raphael reminded them. "A mad doctor's office is one thing, but the fortress of the clan? I think we need to be smart about this one too!"

"Surprisingly clever input, Raph." Donatello said.

In another part of New York City, the Foot Clan are out on a search.

"Come on boys, Xenon has to be here somewhere!" Shredder, the clan's leader, declared.

"Uh, Shredder, sir?" The second-in-command, Karai asked. "I bring news about the turtles' recent victories!"

"What is it?"

"Well, apparently, they stopped a dangerous mutant locust project with the help of Xenon. It appears they were trying to get their hands on MacGuffium 237 from Dr. Marz because it was the closest source of MacGuffium 237, and it is what they need for a cure to Xenon's monstrous appearance."

"Excellent! Xenon will soon be ours! Wait, why would they expose the locust thing when they could just steal the MacGuffum whatever without going through the trouble?"

"Because Dr. Marz was a close friend of the mayor herself and to make sure they don't get through legal complications against Marz, and so they won't have to deal with a meat-eating locust apocalypse."

"Hmm, that's interesting. Perhaps this Dr. Marz could be of good use to us. Perhaps we can assist him if he ever wants revenge on those turtles. It's foolproof!"

"Very good, Shredder!"

"Alright, bring us this Dr. Marz, and round up the others. I think we have another way to capture Xenon." Shredder cackles.

"What's up, Shredder?" Another Foot Clan member, Bebop the mutant warthog, asked. "What'cha thinking about?"

"Bebop! You aren't gonna believe what I just learned! It appears the turtles have recently exposed a secret mutant locust project with the help of Xenon. And that scientist should be seeking revenge on them. Interested?

"Hmm… Yes, I sure am interested. ROCKSTEADY! CHANGE OF PLANS! WE'RE LOOKING FOR A MAD SCIENTIST! WE'VE COME UP WITH ANOTHER WAY TO CAPTURE XENON!"

"Splendid!" Rocksteady, a mutant rhinoceros and another Foot Clan member, yelled excitedly. Everybody cackles menacingly as thunder appears in the background.

"Man, I love this job! You even get your own thunder and lightning special effects."

Meanwhile, Dr. Marz is behind bars at the police station. "DAMN THOSE TURTLES!" The ram shouted in anger. "It's bad enough my project is exposed, and my locusts are being killed off. Now Lesley and the others betrayed me by agreeing to testify against me! What's next?!" A boom went off and he looked behind him to see the Foot Clan.

"Ah, Dr. Marz, I presume?" Shredder asked the ram.

"Foot Clan?! What do you want with me?! I thought you would've fancy me worthless because, well, I am not evil, just wrongly prosecuted because the world doesn't understand what I was trying to do!"

"Small word of advice mate: actually watch 'Locust: The 8th Plague." Karai advised. "And THEN try to say your project won't hurt people after that!"

"Again with that?!"

"That is not why we're here, mind you." Bebop said.

"Oh, good. I can't stand criticism."

"I was just wondering if you would like to join our little search party. I'm sure we have valuable information you may use to get revenge on those turtles once and for all."

"You mean become a villain? Oh, no, no, no, no! I am NOT gonna get involved in one of your crazy scams. The mayor would be all over my ass for that."

"Buddy, she pretty much already HATES your ass." Rocksteady said. "Getting involved with us would hardly change a thing!"

"Well, would you feel better if we told you that we know the REAL reason why the turtles shut you down?" Shredder asked.

"What?"

"Well, don't take my word for it, but ending your locust project wasn't really the main reason why those turtles sandbagged you."

"It wasn't? Then—Then why did they do it?"

"Well, we'd tell you, but why should we tell you?" Karai asked. "You aren't with us, and we only keep dark secrets to team members only. But if you really want to know, then join us. We'll help you get payback to those reptiles once and for all."

"I don't know. It seems a bit dark. It just isn't…me."

"Well, fine then." Bebop scoffed. "Stay here and rot, you stuck-up douche!"

"WAIT! I'll do it!"

"Now, that's what I'm talking about."

Cop guards point guns at the group. "FREEZE!" One of them shouted. "Don't move a muscle, Foot Clan!"

The entire clan blasted away at the cops, scaring them off while not hitting them.

"Well then, now that those burocrated lapdogs are out of the way, shall we?" Bebop asked and the Clan leaves with Dr. Marz.

"Alright, so what are you villains doing here?" The ram asks once they are outside.

"Well, we are on the lookout for a certain something you might've heard of." Rocksteady answers as the mutant rhino shows him pictures of Xenon.

"You're after the Xenon monster that's running about the city?"

"Indeed. We intend on getting our hands on that monster's DNA. Who knows, maybe you might help us make some Xenon clones which we can use in our evil agenda. And we might also give you a chance to recreate your locusts. So, are you in?

"Well…fine. Now what was the real reason the turtles had my factory shut down?"

"We pretty much showed you." Shredder replied. "Turns out that 'Xenon' monster actually used to be Blake Hoskins, a victim of real bad luck."

"He tried to create a potion that makes people physically better, even to the point that it actually reviles me, Karai." The woman agreed. "But it had undesirable side-effects. The picture's self-explanatory."

"Wait a minute, the missing potion!" Marz suddenly spoke.

"It was something they need to, get this, actually help this creature. Frankly, in a few days, the thing will die."

"But possibly not before turning into a ravenous, ferocious creature." Bebop said. "Those turtles want to render it useless by turning him back to normal."

"They ruined the new era of pest-free perfection to help Blake out of his own blunder?" Dr. Marz asked in confusion. "It was his own fault he made a miscalculation, and it's his fault alone!"

"Easy, goat boy." Rocksteady tried to calm the ram.

"If I wasn't considered prison bounded, I would've just gone right to the mayor!"

"About that, it's a tad too late now." Shredder said. "Kinda our fault. The bobbies probably made an alarm about you. There's very poor chance to earn back the mayor's trust…even more than already."

"Which makes it all the more reason for us to commence Baxter Stockman's experiment." Karai said.

"What experiment?" Marz asked and Karai shows a dead locust-ivore while Bebop pulls out a strange ray gun. "What? Wha, wha, what is going on?!"

Karai tosses over the locust to Marz.

"Say cheese!" Bebop taunted.

"But, but I—" Dr. Marz gets zapped. Suddenly, the locust begins to fuse with Marz.

"A little something Baxter made." Rocksteady informed. "He figured what better way to defeat a monster is with another one?!"

The zap ends and Dr. Marz is now a locust/ram hybreed. "Just call me Hybreed!"

"Now creature, go forth and find Xenon for us!" Shredder ordered him. "Feel free to exterminate those pest turtles if you must, but Xenon is ours!"

"By all means!" Hybreed roars and flies off!

"Improvising at it's best, gentlemen." Karai congratulated her gang.


It is now day four. The heroes are in a dark alley.

"Alright, how exactly are we gonna get that Metasi-porium, guys?" Xenon asked. "We've got only one day before I go feral and die, so think fast!"

"Patience, Blake." Splinter calmed the mutant gecko.

"Any options?" April asked.

"We fake out Baxter Stockman out of hiding." Xenon suggested.

"That's so crazy and endangering." Michelangelo said. "It might work, but it has to be done cautiously! The clan is capable of unexpected surprises!"

"Like a ram/locust hybreed heading toward us." Donatello said.

"Exactly, Donnie."

"Oh, I wasn't actually giving an idea. There really is a ram/locust hybreed heading toward us." The others look to where the turtle is pointing.

"Oh, snap!" Rapheal screamed. "Wait, does he somehow look familiar?"

Hybreed roars and sprays digestive acid from his mouth.

"ACID INCOMING!" Donatello shouted and they all dodged the acid. "Hey! I did something smarty for once!"

Hybreed picks up a dumpster and throws it.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?!" April shrieked as she dodged the falling dumpster, only for Hybreed to fly up into the air and stomp on her neck. "That is going to acquire A LOT of massaging!"

Hybreed grabs Splinter by the head and roars at him.

"Guys, a little help?" Splinter requested before Hybreed sprays acid on the rat's head and it cartoonishly melts his face until only his skull remains. "Okay, I am officially freaked out now! And how am I still alice? If this was more realistic, that should be the end of—" Hybreed tosses Splinter aside, annoyed! "MEEEEEEEE-YAAAAAAAAAAAAAH—" He lands with a BLAM! "Ow, my freshly exposed skull, ow!"

"Hey, watch the violence!" April yelled angrily.

"YOU STAY OUT OF THIS!" Hybreed hissed.

"Uh, what's going on here?" Xenon asked.

Hybreed beats up the turtles, April and Splinter with swiftness before turning to the mutant gecko. "Alright, Xenon! You're coming with me!"

"I don't think so!" Xenon roars and he and Hybreed have an epic monster battle.

"Alright!" Splinter exclaimed joyfully with his skull still showing. "Just like Japanese Kujira! Really freaky I know what that is!"

Xenon spits paralyzing goo, but Hybreed blocks it by spraying acid. Then Xenon attacks with claws, but Hybreed blocks them too and kicks the mutant gecko to a wall. "OWCH! Ok, seriously, WHO ARE YOU?!" Hybreed roars, grabs Xenon by the next and lifts him up. "Ahhck! Auuck! Gaagh!" Xenon spits venom at him and Hybreed wipes it off while releasing Xenon.

"Do you really think your paralyzing glue will affect me, ugly?" The locust/ram creature asked tauntingly.

"Well, you're no Prince Charming yourself, buddy!" Hybreed roars and lunges forward, but Xenon leaps upward, dodging the attack and he roars in frustration. Xenon climbs up to the roof with Hybreed In pursuit, then tries running, but Hybreed stomps on him from the air. "OUCH!" Then Hybreed roars, grabs Xenon and flies off. "LET GO OH ME! HELP!"

"Oh, no!" Leonardo whined in worry. "It's got Xenon!"

"NOOO!" Kate screamed.

"CURSE YOU, STOCKMAN!" Michelangelo yelled.

"Thank God my face has unexpectedly healed." Splinter said with his face back to normal. "But what're we gonna do now?"

"Looks like we have a change of plans!" Leonardo declared. "While the creature was surprisingly proving to be a tough match, I placed a tracker on the bully! Now we follow whatever that thing was to the villains!"


That was chapter six! Oh no! Looks like Xenon has been captured by Hybreed! You thought things would look hopeless and the heroes are in their darkest hour, but they haven't given up! Hope you guys liked it, because the next update is when our heroes will rescue Xenon. Please review, thanks!
