I own nothing except the stuff I made up

Tiger Sauna

"So where are we off too Tiger Claw?" Mikey asked excitedly.

"A Yokai resort in New Hampton. I know it's out of the way, but I don't really feel like dealing with the one back in the Hidden City or any of Big Mama's resorts." Tiger Claw replied in his human disguise which he had Mikey and Leo wear as well. "Regardless of whether or not they're under new management."

"Someone's been buying them up?" Leo asked.

"Yeah, don't worry about it though that's Big Mama's problem and might even buy us some more time with that crystal." Tiger Claw sighed. "She's beefed-up security quite a bit that or her little assistant."

"Isn't Raph gonna throw a Temper tantrum if we're not working on that?" Leo asked.

"No, you guys need a day for fun which is why your father Carol and I are taking you guys out. April is with your brothers. And don't worry about the city. I called in a favor from Mona and Slash the guard will keep an eye on the city. They're worried about that crystal as well so they might be staying a while." Tiger Claw explained.

"Are you absolutely sure I- I mean we need this Tiger Claw?" Mikey asked.

It had been a stormy night when a hurricane had made landfall in New York resulting in a terrible thunderstorm. Thankfully weather fortifications were done to the new lair. Tiger Claw as the Night Watcher had to take shelter in a warehouse the boys had been too the other night. Which he deduced anyway as he found Mikey's journal.

"I'd better give this back to Mikey when I see him." Night Watcher said as he went to pick up the book as he did he noticed it was open face up on the floor reading over and over again on the first two pages.

"AlL fIgHt AnD nO lOvE mAkE mIkEy RaGe,"

Over and over again the exact same way through every single page of the journal, the same thing over and over again he got to the end of the book where the back cover had it too in red ink like the rest of the pages. The front cover had this too. He suddenly caught the faint lingering smell of spray paint.

Lightning immediately lit up the room with a powerful intense crash on every single box and every single wall and window even the doors was the exact same thing….

""AlL fIgHt AnD nO lOvE mAkE mIkEy RaGe."

"Positive," Tiger Claw replied with low but firm conviction.

Tiger Claw then went down a seemingly abandoned road that had a lot of overgrowth and trees off to the sides. However, with he held one of his hands up which revealed a large New Orleans style building. With markings on the red roofs and mostly white buildings with lavender growing all around it Mikey and Leo turned off their cloaking broaches in excitement.

"Classeh!" Leo cheered, breaking into a smile.

Tiger Claw turned off his own disguise and signed them in. Within a few minutes they were inside as Leo looked around impressed at everything. Mikey gasped, jumping on his brother's shoulder. "Is that a Chocolate Fountain. I didn't know that was a thing!" He immediately went to eat the chocolate.

"Easy!" Tiger Claw said. "They'll throw us out if you contaminate the chocolate. There's some treats you can gather on a plate with toothpicks and get the chocolate that way."

"Okay!" Mikey said following Tiger Claw's instructions as Leo took some punch and shrimp before finding a lounge chair to lay in and sipped his punch. Tiger Claw sat beside him reading a book he had ordered. A Parody of the now very popular Isekai trope.

As he did he noticed Leo watching something and followed his line of sight. He was watching a pair of Yokai Children with an older looking woman. He heard the small girl say grandma. And looked at Leo.

"Hey you, okay? You want to talk?" Tiger Claw asked as Mikey sat in a lounge chair beside him.

"Talk about what?" Leo asked before, arrogantly leaning back in the chair. "How amazing my brothers and I because we beat Shredder and scrapped his armor? We totally got this hero thing wired. I don't even understand why Raph is so upset." He said noting the somewhat annoyed look on Tiger Claw's face.

Meanwhile, Raph sneezed. They were at Dad's favorite Restaurant in the Hidden City. Donnie was chatting about looking through all meat options for various meals he liked before before settling on something. Saying something about how his protean levels were low. And his body desired Meat.

"Are you alright Raphael?" Carol asked.

"Oh? Yeah, I'm good I guess." Raph said quickly.

"Why don't you talk to us Raph? What is going through your head my son?" Splinter asked. Donnie perked up at this.

"I just…I get mad thinking about how it seems Leo doesn't care! He doesn't take anything seriously ever!" Raph groaned.

Carol thought back to an exhausted Leo breaking down in tears over Mikey being traumatized and how Mikey would forever be scarred even if he did recover. "I don't think that's entirely true. You guys have been through so much in the span of three days when you defeated the Shredder. You lost Karai and your Home very traumatically."

"Leo might be hiding his true feelings and being stubborn." April replied. "That is something Splints would do. So-"

"What do you mean that's something I would do!?" Splinter declared offended. It was then everyone noticed Donnie ease dropping and gave him a look.

"Sorry!" he said nervously pulling away to go back to his food which had just arrived.

"It might be part of an underlying problem. I tried to get Leo to talk but-" Carol began when a voice suddenly called out.

"Hey Jitsu, the washout!" jeered a sneering voice. They turned to see Jerry looking down on them with an evil sneer.

"It's the Evil Monkey!" Lizzie shouted, pointed at him.

"What do you mean by that?!" Raph yelped.

"We saved an egg from him on our own mission! My first Mission." Lizzie declared.

"WHAT!?" Raph half screamed.

"This is supposed to be a relaxing day! Why do you always have to ruin a good thing!?" Splinter snapped standing up from his seat with a snarl.

"Because you ruined a good thing!" Jerry growled.

"Oh, excuse me for not wanting to be a horrible situation any longer than I have too!" Splinter shouted in mock concern.

He then noticed Donnie with a glare quietly stand up and used his mystic powers to make a large missile launcher. "Time for a Heat Seeking Mystic Boom Canon!"

"DONNIE!" Carol, Raph and Splinter shouted diving at and grabbing his arm as he went to slam it down on the button.

"YOU ARE NOT BLOWING UP MY FAVORITE RESTURAUNT!" Splinter shouted.

April with Mayhem's help immediately. Jumped at Jerry She swung her bat ready to attack. "APRIL-" Jerry just let his eyes glow and side-stepped April as she crashed into the wall confused. He then lit his eyes up brightly over the other three as Mayhem snarled at him, his fur bristling only to be confused himself as Jerry laughed.

"I got everything I need see ya suckers!" Jerry laughed taking off. Carol was helping April and Mayhem shake off their confusion.

"He's going after Mikey we gotta stop him!" Raph protested.

"Are you, so mad at Leo that you deliberately left him out?" Donnie asked.

"Yes!" Raph snapped.

"No one is going anywhere! I am texting Tiger Claw about this situation! Today the Adults are handling things, and you are relaxing because I-"

"Splinter a better answer." Carol coached.

"Because errr you need to relax desperately! And that is the end of it!" Splinter stated.

"Good job." Carol praised.

Tiger Claw put down his book when a ring tone of Dragon Ball Z's ending song came up for a text.

"Tiger Claw be on the lookout! There's an evil Yokai Macaque named Jerry who hates Mikey and is gonna try to hurt him or ruin his day."

Tiger Claw immediately began texting Splinter back. "Why just Mikey usually these Assholes have it out for all of them.

His ear twitched at Leo and Mikey giggling he also noticed a few stares as he waited for Splinter's reply. "There might be more. But this guy started bugging us on our family outing back in early Spring. Because he wanted me back in the Battle Nexus! But I told him no and that I was spending the Day with Mikey! So, he made Mikey cry and run away, and I blew up on him for it! And he blames Mikey for it specifically. Especially since Mikey beat him in a fight. And he's the reason I blew up on the Evil Monkey."

The Giggling got louder. He looked to see the Boys staring right at him barely able to contain their laughter. "What's so funny?" he asked, shifting only for a bright pink lock to appear in his eyes. "What the?!" Tiger Claw yelped pulling off a bright curly wig as the two took off laughing their heads off.

Tiger Claw glared in their direction before taking a breath and looking at the wig letting out a small laugh. "At least they're feeling better than they did yesterday. This is also the most relaxed I've seen them since before the Shredder returned." He sighed. "I hope that lasts…."

The then noticed the Macaque Yokai that Splinter had sent a photo off looking around the pool. He seemed to be ducking out of the way of the staff.

"That must be him." Tiger Claw murmured to himself. He watched Jerry carefully much like a Tiger stalking their prey. Immediately Jerry broke the filter to the pool then proceeded to break the pipe watering the water slide. Tiger Claw immediately ties several pools nets he can find over the Filters to keep the gunk out of the main pool while trying to shove a new pipe into the broken one as water sprayed him. Just he saw the staff immediately cast magic to quickly repair everything.

The pipe Tiger Claw was trying to shove in was seamlessly added as he the Tiger Mutant looked up to see Leo and Mikey happily slide down the slide.

Tiger Claw sighed in relief. "You alright sir? Don't worry, we know you didn't mean to break anything. We, just you be more careful." Said a Robin Yokai in a mechanic uniform.

"Well, actually, it was-" Tiger Claw began but the Yokai was already gone before he could finish. He sighed.

Mikey and Leo were splashing nearby in the water having fun when Jerry was talking to a large muscular aggressive looking elephant Yokai.

"Hey, those kids there said you smelt like ass and that you should've worn a one piece because you're so fat." Jerry hissed at him as Tiger Claw was marching over.

"Those Brats are mean!" the Elephant sighed sadly. "Now I'm sad."

"Aren't you gonna go beat them up!?" Jerry sputtered.

"Well, maybe but I've been working on my anger management." The elephant replied.

"Are you serious!?" Jerry snapped only for Tiger Claw to grab him by the collar of his jacket and lift him up turning him around for eye contact.

"Okay Crap-head what's your damage?" Tiger Claw growled.

"I'm the crap-head!?" Jerry snarled insulted. "Those Brats are the ones that came out of the ether and ruined Lou Jitsu! Not to mention, the stupid little orange one got him to yell at me! And he ruined my main source of income. My letting all my Spirit Cats get sent to Better Homes!" Jerry snarled mockingly at that last part as the Elephant just stared and handing something to Tiger Claw.

"This is my therapist's card." The Elephant muttered before walking off.

"Thank you." Tiger Claw replied as Jerry took it the minute he could reach it.

"I DON'T WANT THE STUPID CARD! I WANT VENGENCE!" Jerry snarled chomping on it viciously. Tiger Claw dropped him with a bit of a thud.

"You're pathetic!" Tiger Claw snarled. "The world has changed and left you behind and you're taking it out on Children! Instead of accepting that!"

Jerry snarled and swung his tail around and knocked Tiger Claw back. He noticed Leo and Mikey nearby Tiger Claw tackled the little Monkey into the back of the resort. He managed to slip away.

Jerry pulled a ladder from the wall and swung it as hard as he could hitting Tiger Claw in the side of the face and sending him flying and landing on his back. He then felt his gut slammed down with the spinning crane bomb. Tiger Claw sucked in as much air as he could before rolling out of the way. Only to be smacked with a large tuna he had found causing him to face plant into the ground as Jerry jumped up to an area high above.

Tiger Claw growled as he got to his knees. He then glared up at Jerry as he began to laugh. "You don't know anything about Lou Jitsu do you!? I've memorized every single fight move from the Lou Jitsu movies and his Battle Nexus fights by Heart! As long as I have his moves you can't beat me!"

Tiger Claw sucked in a cleansing breath before wiping his mouth. "You're right I don't know anything about Lou Jitsu. But maybe I can apply what I know."

"HOT SOOOUUUUPPPP!" Jerry shouted swinging his fish however Tiger Claw opened his mouth and bit down on the fish as it when to strike his town. He then ate as much of it as quickly as he could Jerry yelped dropping the fish as Tiger Claw chewed up his mouthful before swallowing and licking his lips before smirk.

Jerry snarled as he swung the Ladder only for Tiger Claw to grab it and even crushing it a bit in his paws. He then gripped one of the lower rungs before pulling it forward and breaking it against his leg and his free arm smashing the ladder entirely. "KAIO KEN!" Tiger Claw shouted.

"Kaio what?" Jerry asked only to be kicked upward in the crotch making jerry hold his crotch in pain as he flew up into the air.

"KA-ME," Tiger Claw called getting into the familiar stance. "HA-ME…." Jerry came back down as his stripes began glowing silver. "HAAAAAAAAAAAA!" he shouted energy bubbling into his paws that popped against Jerry he screamed as he went flying into the air.

Tiger Claw sighed, letting himself relax. However suddenly he felt a pressure in his throat and stomach immediately…..

BUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPP!

The Burp resonated throughout the entire resort. Mikey and Leo looked up surprised. As did the staff and guests.

"Was that Tiger Claw!?" Mikey asked surprised.

"If it was, I'm impressed! He beat Raph's belching record!" Leo chirped impressed.

Tiger Claw groaned. "Too much at once."

X X X

Tiger Claw brought the two boys home exhausted they were chattering about their day. They didn't seem to notice that Jerry had tried to wreck their day. They entered the lair as Tiger Claw noticed a bunch of DVDs with a small cartoon boy in a salmon shirt with a star and curly dark hair with the words Steven Universe on it.

There was also a Pokémon Game with one of the newest Pokémon on it. A large Red Tribal looking dragon with yellow eyes and a huge feather headdress with long feathers. Pokémon Scarlet version was on the cover.

"My Wallet is crying." Donnie hummed more tired than anything. Lizzie was playing the game on the switch. With Raph watching as they chatted about the Pokémon.

Tiger Claw began to snooze a small mooing came from him as he laid back in a bean bag. As everyone unwind Mikey tapped Leo on the shoulder.

"Can I see you for a moment?" Mikey asked.

Leo nodded as they went into the other room. "Leo, listen. I know you've been having hard time too. Today was the most relax I've seen you."

"Yeah, because I was away from Raph for the day! Amazing what that can do." Leo muttered stretching.

"it's not Raph and you know it. It's Shredder, he has a similar problem. You're both very upset about Gram-Gram and the old Lair we all are! I remember after I was first rescued from the Dark Armor. I kept having Nightmares. I could always go to you. Tell you about them. I want to do that for you. Let me be there for you the way you are for me-"

"Sorry I've got a skin scare routine that's overdue! Put a pin in that!" Leo said running down the hall.

Mikey groaned staring annoyed at his back as he disbelief and annoyance.
