I forgot to mention imagine either 12!Donnie's voice or Danny's for sick Lieutenant.

I own nothing except the stuff I made up!

A Recruit Story!

"Hey, Recruit, up and at em!" Bebop's voice called cutting deeply into the images that had been playing in Recruit's head moments before she groaned.

"What is it!? I was having a glorious Dream of banishing our foes to OBLIVION!" She growled at him.

"Can you do that on the road. That 'something' from last night turned out to be Yokai Flu, And they want us out. We can't find the Shredder if we're all sick." Bebop pointed out.

Recruit huffed quickly getting ready and heading out. It was good that she had shaved her head and kept her hair incredibly short. Rocksteady and Bebop were a few feet away from their door. Bebop had already summoned Paper Ninja to take care of their leaders. She could see their heads with masks over their mouths and covered in thick blankets with ice packs. Piles of Mystic Remedies and Tylenol lining their bedside tables. "Wow where do you think you got it?" Rocksteady asked. "Ya'll look terrible honestly."

"Eugh who knows," Lieutenant groaned. "It's just gonna be a slog living through this."

"And once the flu reaches our brains there's no telling how we're going to react." Brute warned. "It'd be better if you kids took off for the day."

"But don't forget any information on the Turtles, Hamato Yoshi, their allies the Shredder is invaluable. Keep your ears to the ground!" Lieutenant.

"We shall not fail you Senseis!" Recruit declared as the two Mutants chanted a Hai in agreement. They left heading to the entrance.

"You realize what this means right?" Bebop asked Solemnly as he Recruit and Rocksteady looked sadly at the ground before Recruit shouted.

"I'M IN CHARGE!" she shouted and ran off.

"Hey!" Bebop shouted as he and his brother chased after him.

"No fair I never get to be in charge!" Rocksteady whined.

Mikey still felt frustrated with everyone including himself. Donnie and Leo because it felt like they learned nothing from their first encounter with Moncrief. Raph because of how quickly he flipped on being suspicious to being just as enchanted with him. And himself for feeling this way. He decided to head out. He changed into his orange shirt with black pants with his gold Hoodie. His first disguise. Klunk changed into a bucket hat, and they headed out.

As he wandered around. He suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He blinked and turned nothing there. He went on his way. This repeated nothing. Klunk turned herself around as Mikey began walking slowly.

Soon Klunk shouted. "SPLINTER!" She yelped, making him jump startled as he tumbled around and landed on his butt looking up as Mikey turned to see his father.

"Dad?" Mikey asked. "What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing here?" Splinter asked awkwardly.

Mikey sighed, unsure of how to answer. In fact, he found himself clamming up. He had a harder time talking to Splinter than Leo, Tiger Claw or even Donnie and Raph. And he found he had just as easy of a time talking to Krysta as Klunk and Carol. But Splinter was hard.

"Hey guys?" They heard a voice and turned to see April with Mayhem riding on her head. "You, doing, Okay?" she asked.

"Well, sort of I guess," Mikey said closing his eyes to take a breath before opening again. He decided to focus on April while telling what happened yesterday with Moncrief.

"We're gonna have to have a talk with them later." Carol sighed as Tiger Claw nodded in agreement.

"He's gone crazy?!" April gasped. "And he thinks the real Jupiter Jim!? Do you know how this happened!?" She asked Splinter.

Splinter shrugged. "No, but that's probably one Hell of a Story."

Mikey nodded in agreement. "Why don't you two come along and help April with her fundraiser." Carol suggested.

"Sure, what's it for?" Mikey asked.

"Savin' the trees because without Trees we have no air. Without air we all die!" April declared.

"We don't want that!" Mikey yelped.

"Right, you get it Mike!" April said proudly as they continued their way to central park.

"Worried about Mikey?" Tiger Claw asked.

"Of course, he just wandered off on his own. Think of the Hell he's been through." Splinter snipped sounding slightly insulted he was asked. "Also, Moncrief being crazy explains much."

"I knew should've had him arrested." Tiger Claw sighed.

"Have you met him before?" Splinter asked.

"I don't like to talk about it." Tiger Claw muttered.

X X X

Mikey enjoyed the fresh spring air. They had found a nice place for April's booth in the center of Central Park where lots of passerbys came and went. Mikey immediately grabbed the table from Tiger Claw and set it up effortlessly as Tiger Claw put up banners that said Save the trees on them. Soon Mikey was laying back against a tree while Klunk and Mayhem wrestled and played.

Carol and April grabbed several cookies with Mayhem teleporting several that April had made and placed them in plastic containers there. Mayhem then appeared with the rest of the cookies. "There's over a thousand cookies here. Did you make all of this?" Tiger Claw asked, shocked and impressed.

"Yup, I was up all night!" April said before drinking a monster.

"Wow, you really working hard." Mikey said impressed.

"Yeah," Klunk added from Mikey's head.

"She's also in our spot!" Growled the voice of a young girl. They all turned to see a bunch of girls in girl scout uniforms. Brown hats and overall skirts with pink poms at the top. They wore brown loafers and white t-shirts. They were pulling their own batch of cookies. The girl with short blonde hair a bit covering one of her eyes was resting a bat on her shoulder. "Only the Brownie group 124 can use this spot!" she growled. "Leave yourselves or Leave on a stretcher." She said tapping the bat in her hand.

"Okay stop! That's not necessary," Tiger Claw growled. He got between them. "This park is for everyone and no one person can own-GAAHH!" he shouted the girl hitting him in the shin before they dog piled him as he struggled to get free.

"Tiger Claw!" Mikey shouted, rushing forward and trying to pull the girls off only to start getting sucked in. Klunk, however, turned into a Leopard and roared at them. They screamed in shock, backing off as April pulled out her own bat and swung at them. She growled at them. Barring her teeth as looking aggressive. Mayhem teleported Tiger Claw and Mikey away as Klunk growled with April.

"I did not take Grade School IB just to get bullied by a bunch of freaks! I, don't know what kind of freaky cats you have! But we'll be back and get our revenge!" the head leader said running off.

Once they were gone Splinter started laughing. "The Mighty Tiger Claw got beat up by little Girls!"

"I am not going all out on a bunch of Elementary school kids! Beside those weren't ordinary little girls." Tiger Claw rebutted.

"Surrreee." Splinter said somewhat sarcastically with a teasing grin on his face.

"No Dad those little girls are evil and vicious! They're nothing like Krysta who's sweet, kind and patient and always thinking of others, and a go getter and empathetic like me! So, it makes me feel less like a freak of nature!"

Splinter stopped smiling and suddenly had an arched an eyebrow he quickly pulled out a small note pad and huddled away from the others. "Note to self. Watch out for Krysta."

"Everyone has Empathy Mikey, if anything those without it are Freaks like Draxum." Tiger Claw pointed out.

"Yeah," Mikey muttered looking at the ground. "Am I being to hard on everyone for being Mad about Moncrief?"

After a few minutes things calmed down. April started to attempt pushing cookies. "Buy a Cookie and help me save trees. She then darted towards people. "Without Trees there'd be no air! Without Air there'd be no us THINK OF THE TREES PEOPLE!" she screamed, making people move away from her.

"Maybe tone it down a little bit," Tiger Claw noted.

"You're kind of scaring everyone away Baby girl." Carol added.

"But this is very important you guys!" April argued. "I can't stop!"

"We're not saying too," Tiger Claw pointed out. "Also while Trees are important, any Photosynthesizer can-"he minute he looked up again April had changed the banners to 'Save the Photosynthesizers' "Wow,"

"People, buy cookies save all the Photosynthesizers of the world! There's no breathing without them!" she declared to a crowd of onlookers. "DON'T YOU CARE ABOUT BREATHING!?" she shouted aggressively at them people ran off in fear with a scream. She hung her head.

"I'll buy some cookies April," Mikey comforted pulling out some money. Tiger Claw did the same. April sighed.

"Thanks guys…" she muttered.

"So where should we look this time?" Rocksteady asked finishing his breakfast they took with them.

"Well, I can tell you what we shouldn't do," Bebop huffed glancing in one direction.

"TELL ME IF YOU HAVE SEEN A LARGE SPIKY ARMORED MAN!" Recruit shrieked jumping on a guy's chest grabbing two fist fulls of his shirt and shaking him slightly. The man was so scared he fainted. "DO NOT PASS OUT TELL ME!" she shrieked, rearing her head back with unfocused eyes and tiny pupils.

"You're gonna get nothing out of an unconscious man!" Bebop pointed out.

"I WILL IF I FORCE IT TOO!" Recruit declared cross-eyed only for Rocksteady to take him away. She darted after him, but Bebop held her back. She shook her arms trying to get after him.

"Julia what are we gonna do?" They heard a voice ask and the three, Foot Ninja peered out from a corner to see a bunch of Girl scouts sitting in a small city playground.

"First we need to figure out how to deal with those freaks in our spot!" Julia the blonde girl replied growling as she almost broke a brick she was holding into dust. "Then start selling our brownies again."

"Brownies the king of desserts rivaled only by the Cupcake!" Recruit hissed.

"What about Brownies with icing?" Rocksteady asked.

"DO NOT SPEAK BLASMPHEY ROCKSTEADY!" she snapped glaring at him before, turning her head back and suddenly focusing on one of the other girl's words. Rocksteady, however, used this time to eat a bunch of iced brownies he bought.

"We don't even have a Scout Master anymore and none of them want us. They're say we're too wild and violent."

Recruit's eyes shimmered in empathy at this. "What are you thinking?" Bebop asked but she then simply moved. "Hey!" Bebop stated.

Recruit immediately showed herself to all the girls who turned and glared at her. "Who are you!?" the called Julia growled.

"I Am your new leader to welcome you to the foot Clan." Recruit declared.

"Really?!" Rocksteady yelped surprised.

"We do need to increase our numbers. Remember a bunch of the members either fled the country or got arrested. Thanks Tiger Claw." Bebop muttered. "Besides look at us."

"I Know what you are going through unaccepted by society for your passion. Shunned for your strength! Your grit! But if you follow me and help us revive the Shredder we can break down the world that rejected you with ever fiber of it's being and rebuild a better world in it's place!" she declared the girls cheered wildly with her.

"So, do we want to unpack that or…." Rocksteady began asking when Bebop cut had him off.

"I think we're better off leaving it alone." He replied.

"Ahhh man this is turning out to be, heading to my list of Failures. I'm crashing harder than my Aviary club." She said remembering a dove she set free after nursing back to health that got eaten. "Miniatures club," she said remembering she accidentally smashed a miniature. And Magician's assistant club!" She finished remembering being ditched. "And that was just Tuesday!" she groaned.

"April it's still early don't give up," Carol encouraged.

"Sounds like you could use help from an experienced Salesman!" Splinter said singsong as he pulled up his phone. And hit the play button on it. "Watch now!"

There was an old man sitting near some pigeons in the cold of winter feeding them despondently. "Do you think you are a failure? Are you afraid you will never achieve your goals?" Asked Lou's voice the man nodded before hanging his head lower before the scene flipped to a closeup of Lou "Well HOT SOOUUUUP! That attitude in the face!" He declared vigorously before landing a kick in camera. It then flipped to him walking out on-stage waving. With a banner of information below him. "Hi there, I am Action Star Lou Jitsu! You know me from hit films and infomercials like Greeting Card Neckties!" It said showing an example of one that said sorry for your loss as he was in a black suit with a thumbs up by a coffin with flowers on it. "Dream Catcher Gloves!" It said showing off a pair of pillow gloves he was sleeping in. "And the Wonderful world of Armuan Chemicals!" He added, holding up a vile that he had in his hand. Some dust fell on the chemical in the vat next to him. It exploded but Lou was merely singed.

"I am here to talk to you about my patented give step Lou Jitsu:" He began holding his hand open for the number five before landing five kicks. "J.I.T.S.U Strategy! Follow my plan and you can Karate chop any obstacle between you and your goals into Splinters!" He finished as Splinter worded what he was saying even mimicking the chopping motion his younger self made.

"Hey it is them!" Bebop said as the three and the girl scouts watched from the bushes.

"Let's get 'em!" Growled one of the girls.

"Yes, we will crush their bones and take back what is rightfully yours!" Recruit growled.

"Hold on light bulb turning on," Bebop said. "Between us all getting the spot back is easy. But don't forget we have to find Master Shredder. I Think we kidnap April Senior that and use her to force the Turtles to find Shredder for us."

"But you heard Leo he doesn't know where he sent Master Shredder." Rocksteady pointed out.

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean he can't portal to him. Especially if he wants and needs it too. And he'll be doing both once we grab her. She's an easy Target!" Bebop declared with a sneer.

Recruit grinned at this, liking the idea.

X X X

"Alright April just, remember this. When you are making a sale, you are not selling the Cookie." Splinter said eating one. "You are selling an idea!" He finished as Tiger Claw, Klunk and Mikey gave him a look.

"Sir, are you going to buy that?" Mikey asked firmly. Splinter looked around nervously as April took a breath.

"You got this Sweetie!" Carol cheered as April smiled before exhaling. She smiled.

"People of New York are you enjoying this Sunny Spring Day?" she asked standing on the table composed and confident. "The Light of the Sun allowing for the process of Photosynthesis that blesses us with breathing of air?" She had managed to get some people's attention.

"So far so good!" Klunk whispered from under Mikey's hoodie.

"Yeah," Mikey added.

"Buy some cookies…. OR THERE WON'T BE ANY AIR, OR COOKIES OR US!" she shouted aggressively. "BECAUSE PHOTOSYNTHISZERS ESPECIALLY TREES!" April finished shaking her arms. People screamed and ran away.

"Kind of skipped steps two through four." Klunk muttered.

"That was more like a relapse," Mikey said covering his mouth realizing what he had said as April groaned.

"I'm sorry!" Mikey whimpered groaning inwardly at himself.

Splinter jumped up to her side. "Eh don't sweat it April! Just sit back and watch how it's done." He said taking a cookie and smelling it. "Mmm Remember this smell?" He asked getting people's attention. "Fresh Homemade Cookies like Mom used to make." He said taking a bite. He then had glistening eyes as he acted nostalgic. "Oh, it takes me back to simpler times when I had someone to kiss by Booboos and tuck me in at night." He said remembering his mother.

"Awwww," The crowd cooed as Splinter placed down his glasses. "Now who wants to buy love!" he asked. Everyone cheered lifting money and cards into the air. Mikey and Splinter helped sell several as Mayhem and Klunk looked as cute as they could helping to sell several cookies. Tiger Claw and Carol were mostly concerned with handling Cash. When April tried to sell several they ran off. She huffed noticing how well everyone else was doing as Splinter and Mikey breakdanced on top of each other making the crowd go wild.

Julia snarled at this growling gritting her teeth so hard sparks were coming out. Recruit put a hand on her shoulder. "Sooon…" she promised.

Bebop and Rocksteady noticed that the other girls were looking just as angry at this. "Wow these guys and recruit are gelling remarkably well. Can't tell if that's a good thing yet."

"Well, don't freak out, because it turns out group One hundred twenty-four is bigger than originally thought." Rocksteady said nervously as they found themselves surrounded by even more Girl Scouts growling and staring at them in the trees as they sat there feeling a bit unsafe.

"Now is the time to move!" Recruit hissed pointing to Carol and Tiger Claw leaving to get more cookies as Splinter was counting the Money.

"I can't believe we already sold half the cookies." Carol chipperly noted as she opened the back of the van door.

"Half!?" Tiger Claw shouted in shock. He was then greeted with the side of many, many more homemade Chocolate Chip cookies in containers piled on top of each other. "Wow that girl is motivated." Tiger Claw muttered as he reached it, he suddenly heard the ring of a Bike bell. They turned to see themselves surrounded by more of the Girl Scouts from earlier.

They had bats chains, and one even broke a glass vinegar bottle against a metal frame of the nearest bench and readied it. Then in a flash they attacked Carol and Tiger Claw. He only heard her yelp from getting yanked away as Tiger Claw was hit with chains and bats. He hit the ground groaning they took off before he could even counter. They were gone. He looked up gasping, seeing Carol tied and gagged with duct tape and brownies in the back of a van.

"CAROL!" Tiger Claw cried watching the Van rush off within seconds.

"Crap Baskets!" Tiger Claw hissed he looked around and saw the Cookies had been smashed and thrown into the ground. "Yeah, that's real mature." He rushed off back towards where the others were.

X X X

"Eighty, Nintey, ninety-five, one hundred ten, one hundred twenty- "Splinter said as Mikey noticed April sitting sadly hanging her head as Mayhem nuzzled her.

"April?" Klunk asked, jumping into her lap.

"What's wrong? We totally nailed it!" Mikey asked.

Splinter stopped counting to look over. "You guys did, I didn't pass out a single pamphlet except to that one guy, who used it to wipe cookie crumbs off his face."

Everyone looked at April sadly. "Okay what's gotten into you?" Splinter asked.

"Without any of you I wouldn't have raised a single dollar to plant new trees." She huffed sliding down and hugging her knees. "I'm a failure."

"That's not true!" Mikey cried.

"That's not true," Splinter assured comfortingly. "April you're not a failure you're-"cutting him off were smoke bombs coming down and making a smoke screen making everyone yelp as they looked behind them to see many girl scouts surrounding them with various pans, Kitchen utensils smashed glass vinegar bottles and chains.

"Girls can you give us a minute?" Splinter asked casually shooing them away as Mayhem stared nervously. Mikey and Klunk retracted into his shell and turned into a Rock respectively, the latter falling with a Klunk. "I was just ramping up to a life changing speech."

"The only thing you'll be ramp up too is giving us back our spot! After meeting with Keats and Fitzgerald." Juila sneered as she appeared cracking her knuckles as she closed them. "I read at a Tenth-grade level." She explained.

"How old are you!?" Splinter asked, surprised. Mikey immediately grabbed at the money they made and retracted back into his shell fearing they would take it as the girls attacked punching April and Splinter hard and knocking them back. The Girls tried to shake Mikey and the Money out of his shell aggressively pinning Klunk roughly down when she tried to stop them as Mayhem teleported them all away landing on Tiger Claw.

"I saved it all!" Mikey cheered after he quickly counted the Money.

"Let me guess the scouts?" Tiger Claw asked as they climbed off each other.

"They kicked us out of the Spot they were in!" April complained as she checked her glasses and head for damage.

"It gets worse, they smashed the rest of your cookies and took your mom!" Tiger Claw stated.

"NOOOO!" Klunk and Mikey cried at the same time as April reacted.

"MY MOM!?" April shrieked in horror eyes incredibly wide.

"Klunk quick turn into the super smelling pig mutant!" Splinter instructed Klunk nodded and instantly became a copy of Bebop she sniffed the air. "It's gonna be hard to find them. I can copy Beebop's powers, but I get a weaker version."

Mayhem chirped jumping onto her head. Making noises. "Oooh Good idea!" Klunk said as Mayhem began to teleport around town Klunk sniffed around until she immediately picked up a scent she recognized as Carol's. "There we found them!" Klunk said pointing at a run-down factory under a huge business building. Mayhem teleported back to the others as Klunk transformed back and her pupils dialated. Her ears flattened and her tail twitched as she leaned into Mikey's hand.

"Klunk?" he asked worriedly.

"I'll be fine just too much at once." she muttered, once Klunk was okay they teleported to the Factory.

Tiger Claw looked nervous. "You're not seriously scared of those little girls, are you?" Splinter scoffed.

"I don't want to tear them apart. I'm scared for them despite them being concentrated feral malice." Tiger Claw grumbled. "Speaking off, what's your excuse mighty Lou Jitsu!?" Splinter huffed crossing his arms and turning away.

"Guys don't fight Carol needs us!" Mikey shouted. "April and I will handle the girls. No Matter how scary they are!"

"Good idea, you two can find my mom. That way everyone's happy and no one has to get, stitches!" April added.

"Agreed!" Mikey declared.

X X X

Carol winced as she was blinded by a bright spotlight, she had been tapped to a chair. "Wha-Where am I?! What am I doing here!?"

"You will be the Key to our plans. As we finally find the Shredder and rebuild him to his glorious Shredderness!" Said the Girl she had heard about. Foot Recruit. To Carol's shock she was around sixteen years old.

She had heard chopping and looked out to see a bunch of school girls chopping off the heads of Turtle Mannequins repeatedly. "This isn't good."

"Recruit, I can't a hold of the Bosses! I've been trying to check up on them for ten minutes now!" Bebop complained from the other room. Carol noted how his voice sounded young.

"I'm busy, figure it out yourself Bebop!" Recruit snapped.

"Well, Excuuuussssee me Princess! Just want to remind you we're around the same age!" Bebop snapped from the other room.

"I am in charge of Today's mission, and you will respect my authority!" Recruit growled as Bebop huffed and stormed off from outside the room.

"You will respect my Authoritah!" Bebop said mockingly with a growl under his breath. "You're only leader because you called it, and the bosses are sick." He hissed before he heard munching. He looked inside to see Rocksteady scarfing down a bunch of Cookies.

"Are those from the Hamatos?" Bebop asked. Rocksteady looked guilty.

"Don't tell Recruit." He muttered.

X X X

"Why are you doing this? Shredder wants to destroy the world! Even if you rebuild it you'll have torn down what used to be there violently! Never giving it a chance to change." Carol pointed out.

"Yes but if you revive Shredder, do cool things you get to be Top Dog! You have respect and the world is your oyster to crush!" Recruit explained smiling madly not unlike the Joker.

"But you'd have to spill so much blood to get there! Would that make it worth it especially if some of that blood belonged to people you cared about?"

Recruit looked shocked for a second almost horrified before she composed herself again. "Y…Yes! It will totally be worth it!" she said with a forced grin.

"See you don't sound so sure." Carol replied firmly. "Maybe all of this is coming from a need for acceptance."

X X X

Tiger Claw was just tall enough to let Splinter climb into the vents. He quickly navigated noticing he didn't have as hard of a time crawling through. Had he lost some weight? Ever since they found out the Foot Clan was still active. He worked with Tiger Claw and Carol to keep the boy's skills sharp. FrankenFoot even helping when he could. It was far different from the training he had used for the boys last fall and worked in a couple of Raph's training games. Could it be? Was he losing some weight. He shook out his pride and continued on.

"Keep your eyes out. Lou Jitsu could be anywhere!" He heard Bebop say to the lead Blond Girl Julia and a tall one with long brown hair. "He could even be in the Air Ducts!"

"Wow, you can crawl through those ducks?" asked the brown-haired girl.

"It's Duct not Duck." She huffed facepalming.

"That's what I said Duck." The Brown girl replied.

"No, you didn't," Julia replied.

"Yeah, Huh!" The brown girl argued as Splinter moved on.

"Nuh uh!" Julia countered. They went back and forth on this.

"Uh guys, that besides the point. I was saying we should find a way to check the vents. Let's just call them vents?" Bebop said but went ignored.

The Next place Splinter went too he saw Recruit bawling her eyes out hugging a tied up Carol who was soothingly shushing her. "Huh wasn't expecting that." He admitted.

X X X

"Duck," Julia told her fellow scout showing a picture on the phone before pointing to the Duct. "Duct!" Bebop who was annoyed by this however noticed something in the halls. He yelped and pointed. "FORGET THE GRAMMAR WE'VE GOT INTRUDERS!"

BOOM!

"INTRUTHERS?!" Rocksteady shouted his mouth still full of Cookies. Breaking through the wall it crumbled around him as he continued munching on them.

"Uh oh." April and Mikey yelped together.

Everyone immediately charged at them, April readied her bat and swung at Rocksteady making him stumble back and yelp as his horn vibrated from the Mystic impact making him yelp in pain. Bebop swung a hard fist Mikey dodged it. Mikey countered with a kick but Bebop smelling the wind in his movement blocked it and knocked him back. Mikey however pulled out a Nun chuck and had it wrap around Bebop's leg using the momentum of his flight to cause Bebop to fall over. Julia and the Girl suddenly noticed. The Former whistled and suddenly all of the Girl scouts appeared with Mikey and April back-to-back with Mayhem and Klunk on their heads.

"Bad!" Klunk muttered.

"Not really!" April said throwing a small nut in her hand as hard as she could it bounced off a nearby shelf like a bullet. It Ricochet around and caused screws to come out of the old Duct above them and slam into several of the girls knocking them back. Julia growled.

"Now that was bad," April declared using the word to mean cool.

"Did you do that with a Walnut that is so cool!" the brown-haired girl squeed eyes sparkling.

"Don't be impressed with the enemy!" Bebop shouted. April and Mikey let out a battle cry as they attacked. April, batted several girls away. Mikey, however, dodged several moves before using a breakdance move followed by a twist in his form to corkscrew into Julia knocking her away as the Brown hair girl with hearts in her eyes for April went flying into a red head.

Rocksteady saw Klunk and Mayhem before he let out a nobleman laugh and charged however Mayhem teleported himself and Klunk out of the way. This Caused Rocksteady to crash into his brother as he tried to attack Mikey and the two went flying out the window. Tiger Claw who was outside looked up and saw them falling quickly shoving the Dumpster under them and slamming the lid down. He then broke open a fire escape door and started ascending the stairs within.

Recruit dried her tears. She suddenly sensed something and grabbed a cupcake pelting it as hard as she could at the top of a bookshelf. Something there yelped and crashed into the floor that Carol recognized once he was in the light.

"Splinter!?" she gasped.

Splinter licked the smashed cack and icing off his face and smiled. "Oooh Reeses flavored, maybe you should do that again?" he asked hintingly as Recruit grabbed him and lifted him up by his shirt.

"I Will not be distracted by flower speeches and stealth Lou Jitsu!" she growled going to punch him forcing Splinter to use his tail to grab her punching arm and twist around causing her to crash into the ground and him to get free. She lunged at him as he dodged he spun around landing a kick that knocked her back as he went for a counter.

"Both of you stop!" Carol shouted.

"I….WILL NOT BE FAILURE! I REFUSE!" Recruit snarled fresh tears starting to pool.

"Admittedly we are going to make you fail today," Splinter noted awkwardly. "But just because you failed. Doesn't mean you're a failure."

"He's right, in fact I have a feeling you'd find more success changing roads. Sometimes things simply are not a fit for you. All you can do then is try something else."

"You're focusing on the Negative not the Positive." Splinter added.

"What do you mean?" Recruit asked.

"Let us tell you about a couple of kids we know." Splinter replied Carol nodded as Splinter began with April. The two still punching and kicking back vicious scouts. "This girl also thinks she's a failure," April clapping a mop between her hands and roll kicking a red head away. She grabbed the mop and spun it around swinging it into two of the girls. "But she is incredibly tenacious and capable!" April jumped up kicking two away with a split kick as they dove at her. "Not everything she does works out."

Mikey was caught by one of the girl's legs. She pulled him back, but he sprung from his hands bouncing up and slammed her down instead as he moved away helping April up. Many more red eyed girls charged at them from the air.

"COME ON!" They groaned together.

"The little boy, puts so much pressure on himself to be good. To be better than his past, the one who raised him. He also thinks he fails a lot." Carol added as Mikey fought off several girls as April burst from a pile of them. He dove and cartwheeled a couple back he was sent flying into the air with a chain. But he merely retracted into his shell and spun into her and a couple of others. "He keeps pressing forward wanting so much to heal. That's his goal. He's willing to keep at it no matter how long it takes."

"COWABUNGA!" Mikey shouted punching several girls away with a version of the Fifty man punch he had been working on. "WHO'S NEXT!?" he shouted as April roared. They were suddenly greeted with the sound of a mace coming out of a spiked baseball bat that had opened a hatch.

"I'd hate to beat up an old man and lady," Julia sneered eyes narrowed with jagged teeth.

"WHA- SAY WHAT!?" Mikey sputtered as April growled.

"We're Fourteen and Sixteen!" She snarled pointing at her.

Julia laughed. "Exactly!" she snarled spinning her mace as Mikey readied his Nun chucks in response. Julia charged as Mikey entered a tug a war with her as April circled around. But Julia spun from where she was holding the bat and kicked April away. She then managed to yank Mikey towards her and punch him hard in the beak making him spin back on his shell.

"They could fail, over and over."

April however went crashing into the shelf behind her. Mikey sat up Dizzy as they Saw Julia rushed forward. Laughing manically.

"Over, Over and Over again! But despite their many failures they never give in." Splinter said as Carol noted Recruit listening intently. "They keep finding a way forward."

The two grabbed the Nearest trays and blocked her mace and bat. April kicked her legs, but she flipped regaining her balance. She rushed forward as Mikey threw the tray making her slip for a minute and retracting into his shell with a barrier to block a move distracting her as April rushed to a bunch of Brownies nearby.

"You remind me a lot of my daughter, you're both passionate and strive to be great."

With a yell April threw a bunch of them at Julia, they went into her mouth, and she was slowing down from too much sweetness. "Don't forget Milk!" Mikey shouted throwing it at her she groaned falling back and within minutes April had French braided all their hair together.

"Did you just French braid our hair together?" asked the brown-haired girl fawning over April. "That is so cool!" she cheered as Julia tried to hit her. The two took off to look for Carol.

X X X

"Even if one door closes, I don't doubt that many more will be open to you." Splinter assured. Recruit blew her nose at this moment Mayhem and Klunk teleported inside. Having been told too mid battle by Mikey. They saw her and began scratching at the tape as Recruit spoke again.

"Thank you both so much for listening. You're such great listeners!" She whimpered gratefully with a teary smile. Splinter glanced over seeing the two.

"Uhhh I Feel like we did most of the talking." Splinter noted moving closer to Carol to obscure Mayhem and Klunk.

"I Feel like things are going to be different from now on. From this day forward-"Recruit began as Splinter and Carol chimed in.

"You're going to start being a good person?" Splinter asked.

"And Channeling your energy into something positive?" Carol added.

"I Will work twice as hard to find Master Shredder and destroy the world! AND NOTHING WILL STOP THE FOOOT CLLAAAAAAAAANNNNN!" She screamed into the heavens vigorously.

"Wrong lesson, wrong lesson!" Carol and Splinter yelped together as Tiger Claw kicked the door down.

"Mom!" April shouted rushing inside.

"Carol!" Tiger Claw and Mikey shouted together.

Recruit immediately grabbed Carol and pulled her close. making Mikey cling to Tiger Claw who was visibly nervous alongside Splinter. "You've both taken out my entire brownie clan. Impressive."

"Let, her, go," April growled walking forward slowly.

"Make me!" She snarled holding a battle position and Carol at the same time.

"Everyone, calm down," Splinter laughed nervously. "I'm sure we can work this out."

"Enough talk is cheap!" Recruit snarled.

"I couldn't agree more!" April growled as Splinter pulled up the Split screen.

"See how much you two have in common?" He asked.

"NO, WE DON'T SHE'S, MY ENEMY!" they shouted together pointing as they crushed Splinter between the Frames of the Split Screen.

"Need I say more?" Splinter sheepishly asked. Recruit charged dropping Carol who was grabbed by Mayhem who teleported her back to Mikey, Tiger Claw and Klunk. Immediately Tiger Claw used two of his claws to cut the tape where Klunk and Mayhem had started. As the two punched at each other. They then swung around blocking each other's kicks. They grabbed each other and rolled around the room trying to pin the other as April kicked her off. They knocked over some furniture as they went.

"Should we jump in?" Mikey asked.

"Absolutely not!" Tiger Claw immediately declared as the two somehow made the wall go down from April knocking Recruit into it. She jumped forward and tackled April who managed to kick her off. She looked around when Recruit disappeared. But suddenly came up behind her with a Steel Chair.

"HAHA!" she shouted, hitting April hard and sending her to the ground.

"April!" Carol cried rushing over as did the others to check on her.

"Hey TC!" Bebop suddenly called. "Next time you lock Mutants in a Dumpster make sure they're knocked out." They turned to see Bebop and Rocksteady standing with all the Girl Scouts freed.

"No way! How'd you get free so fast!?" Mikey cried.

Bebop and Rocksteady proudly showed off a badge. "Fast knot untying badge from Eagle Scouts!" Rocksteady boasted.

"YES!" Recruit declared. "VICTORY IS MINE!"

Cue the Climax of My Heart will Go on by Celine Dion

Recruit grinned maliciously at them. "You are surrounded and captured! And Absolutely NOTHING WILL SAVE YOU NOW- Why do I hear Mariah Carrie music?" she asked with an arched eyebrow as a Stage suddenly appeared and they could see on it through the hole April and Recruit had made where in Pajamas and ice packs on their heads were Foot Lieutenant and Foot Brute.

"YoUuUuUuUuUu'RrRrEeE hEeEeErReEeEeE!" Brute Sang in the most terrible loud off-key scratch brown noise ever. Not helped by the fact that they were congested as hell.

"ThEeErReEe'S nOoOoThHiIiNnNg I fEaR!" Lieutenant sang as everyone immediately covered their ears and gritted their teeth flinching in pain. Bebop and Rocksteady jumped out the Nearest window back into the dumpster shutting the lid to protect themselves from the butchered noise.

"AnD i KnOoOoOoOwWw ThAt My HeArT wIlLlLl Go OoOoOoOnNnNn!"

They sang as everyone in New York heard it. instantly Children cried dogs howled Cats yowled, birds crashed into each other, fish floated up dead, grown men asked God Why. So did Donnie, as Raph and Leo bury their heads deep into their pizza.

It even reached the Nexus Hotel where Big Mama and her Bell Hops were struggling. Frieda just stood there. Her head twitching, frequently. "it's not so bad, sounds like…. discipline….."

"AAHHHHHHH!" The Octopus Bird Bell Hop screamed Helplessly. "WHHHHHY!?"

Back at the factory there was cracking in the walls. "MY EARS ARE BLEEDING MAKE IT STOP!" Mikey cried desperately from within his shell.

Tiger Claw's eyes widened when he immediately saw that the brown noise had caused a glass of water to catch fire!

"WeEeE'lLlLlLlL sTaY fOrEvEr ThIs WaY! yOu ArE SaAaAaAfEeEeE iN mY, hEaRt AnD"

Seeing that the building was breaking around them Mayhem immediately teleported them out.

"mY, hEaRt WiLl Go On, AnD OoOoOoOoONnNnNnN!" They sang as the whole building came down. Them, getting caught in it. Bebop and Rocksteady poked their heads out of the dumpster looking at how the whole building had been reduced to a soft but thick dust as everyone began to poke their heads out one by one starting with Lieutenant.

"Hey, my voice is raspy again. And I feel great!" Lieutenant said smiling.

"Me too guess that pesky flu finally ran it's course." Brute added.

"NOOOOOOO! YOU TWO RUINED EVERYTHING!" Recruit screamed before falling to her knees and slamming her fists into the ground.

"What's with her?" Brute asked.

X X X

"So, I guess the Foot Clan have recruited a bunch of little girls now," Splinter hummed somewhat nervously. "Think you can handle it Tiger Claw?" Splinter joked.

"I don't know think you can handle, It Lou Jitsu!" Tiger Claw snapped. "This is quite serious, ya know. Also, unlike you I have a reason to not want to fight them."

"Tiger Claw did something happen?" Mikey asked concerned.

"No," Tiger Claw said swiftly and turned away from Splinter and Mikey as Klunk and him, looked up at the Tiger Mutant sadly.

"It's amazing and kind of depressing what someone will do just to be loved, I hope those girls are okay…." Carol muttered worriedly.

"I'm sure they'll be fine!" April said hugging her mom so did Mikey happy she was safe. "It's just too bad they stole the tree money." She sighed.

"No they didn't," Mikey said pulling out two large bills stacks from his hoodie.

"Mikey you're amazing!" April cheered hugging him as Mikey hugged back. "How'd you keep it safe?" she asked putting him down.

"I took it into my Shell with me." Mikey. "No way they were gonna get it from there!" Mikey replied proudly.

Splinter smiled. "It is like I say in my Video Tape-"

"HEEEEEEYYY!" shouted the voices of Raph, Donnie and Leo as they dove onto their brother and Father to hug them all tightly. April saving the cash as it fell as Klunk jumped up to her other shoulder.

"We missed you guys where've you been all day?" Leo asked.

"Oh, ya know saving the day." Mikey replied as he let himself melt into the hug. Sure, he still wasn't very happy with what happened with Raph and Moncrief still. But he loved his brothers with all his heart. And he knew they loved him just as much.

So the ending was inspired by SMG4's Mario reacts to Nintendo Memes 16 featuring Boopkins. It's my favorite series from the guy. And the joke came from Space Jam where the villain mistook Billy Murray for Dan Aykroyd. Yeah I know it's not the most popular movie and it probably has not held up since I was little but I still remember having fun with it! Also I'll try to get one more chapter out before I take a break for Indigo Disk DLC There's also things I want to draw and the Outline still needs to be buffed!
