A/N: Please read and review?


In Chelsea Chasm, on Sh'Okanabo's ship, Sh'Okanabo himself stood by panel, holding a seed egg.

"The Day of Awakening approaches. The gene seeds of our races are matured." he said, turning left.

He squashed the egg with his hand, causing purple ooze to come out and fall onto a pigeon, that was in a cage.

"Already, they have begun to adapt and thrive inside..." he continued.

The pigeon's eyes glowed red, before it was covered by a purple tentacles, encasing it inside a cocoon.

"...these simple Earth creatures..."

The cocoon fell over, before it cracked open, then the pigeon screeched and got up, its body now purple and blue, and with horns on its head and back of its neck.

"...consuming them from within."

Viral came towards him from behind.

"So shall we begin global dispersal of the gene seeds, Dread Lord?" she asked.

She bowed her head as Sh'Okanabo turned to her.

"Not yet, Viral. First we must conduct an experimental wave of mutation." he explained, holding his right forefinger up.

He banged the cage with his right fist, before the pigeon screeched and flew out of the cage.

"A field test of sorts..." he stated.

The pigeon flew out of the ship and up the chasm.

"...to acclimate the spawn to this planet's environment and determine..."

The pigeon flew off through the city, flying through the shadows.

"...their ability to spread the seed to humans."

The pigeon soon flew down to a hot dog stand restaurant called 'Original Famous Jay's', where the Turtles, Splinter and Cody were all sitting at a table together, all but Splinter eating a hot dog, before it landed on the counter.

"Ahh, that's it." Mikey said, waving the scent of his hot dog towards his face. "First allow the bouquet to wash over you, then..."

Cody picked up his hot dog and waved the scent of it towards him, just as Mikey began eating his, which he then did too.

"No crash course in 21st century cuisine is complete without a hot dog from the Original Famous Jay's " Leo said happily, picking one up.

Raph picked his up and ate it.

"Um. I can't believe my taste buds. These dogs taste just like the Jays from our time." he commented.

"I know what you mean, Raph. This is the first decent food I've had since we came to this time." Elisa remarked, before she ate hers.

"That's because they cloned the original Jay." Donnie explained, pointing behind him.

Behind them, the clone was behind the counter making more hot dogs, with a picture of his template behind him. The Turtles all turned to him and waved, before he heard the pigeon screech.

"Hmm?" he muttered.

The pigeon was on the counter, dipping ooze from its feet onto one of the hot dogs beneath it, before it turned and walked off.

"Huh?" Jay muttered, walking towards the barrier with a broom. "Filthy creature. Get outta my place and don't come back!"

He ran towards the pigeon, then tried to whack it with his broom, but missed as it flew off.

"Go on, beat it you flying pest!" Jay roared, whacking the broom around. "This is a dog joint not a bird cage!"

He held his arms up in anger as the pigeon flew off towards the shadows quickly.

"Still friendly as ever." Leo noted.

"He sure is." Cath agreed.

Cody burped. "What exactly do they put in these things?" he asked, pointing at his hot dog.

"Some things are better left a mystery." Splinter said.

As Jay walked back towards the counter, the purple ooze on it dripped down onto the hot dogs.

A little later, the Turtles, Splinter and Cody all began to leave, Mikey bringing up the rear with a soda.

"I couldn't eat another bite. Well, maybe just one, with everything." Mikey said, stopping. "You guys go ahead, I'll grab a cab home."

He turned around and ran back into the restaurant, as Cody, Raph, Elisa and Cath all turned around.

"Where does he put it all?" Cody asked.

"He's got lots of empty space up here." Raph replied, pointing at his head.

"More likely a high metabolism." Cath joked. "Meaning, he can eat more than most."

"Yeah, no wonder he eats a lot." Elisa scoffed.

Inside, Jay placed a purple ooze infected hot dog into a to-go bag for Mikey.

"Thanks, Jay." he said, taking it. "I'm saving this one till I get home."

He turned around and walked out of the restaurant, humming as he did so.

"Okay, maybe just one bite for the road." he decided, turning left.

He stopped and lifted the hot dog towards his mouth, but caught his wrist with his other hand.

"No, must resist urge. But, hot dog calling me. Tantalizing me." he said, shaking his arms.

He took a bite and chewed on the hot dog, before he frowned.

"Something's not right. This dog has… relish!" he said, looking at it, not knowing what the purple ooze was. "I didn't order relish..."

He finished off the hot dog.

"...but I love relish. Lucky me." he said.

He walked past an alley, which Sh'Okanabo slide out of the shadows from to spy on him.

"Lucky indeed. This should prove extremely informative." he hoped, sniggering.


Later, at Cody's penthouse, Splinter was meditating in the living room, when the Turtles - expect Mikey - Cody and Serling all entered.

"Hey, you're right. I can still taste the hot dog." Cody said, running his hand over his mouth.

Serling walked off as the Turtles looked at him, before Donnie belched.

"Isn't it great?" he said, as the girls walked off, shaking their heads.

Raph belched. "The gift that keeps on giving." he said.

"Someday you must show me how to tune them out?" Serling asked, looking at Splinter.

"My meditation grants me serenity, but earplugs don't hurt either." Splinter replied.

Elisa and Cath both turned to their brothers and Cody, who turned to them.

"Hey, aren't you two going to have a go?" Raph asked.

"Uh-uh. Not way, Raph." Cath said, shaking her head. "That's disgusting."

"Yeah. Even I'm offended." Elisa agreed, holding her hands out, shaking them. "That's just gross."

"Have it your way." Raph said.

Leo belched. "The girls may not like it, but it's too bad Mikey's missing out on his favorite pastime." he said.

A loud belch was suddenly heard, shaking the whole room, making a vase on a podium wobble, making Serling grab it.

"What was that?" he wondered. "An Earthquake, a hurricane, a tornado?"

The Turtles and Cody all turned to the hallway.

"Just the turtle with the gift of gas, the baron of belches, the earl of eructation…Michelangelo!" Donnie said, as Mikey stumbled into the room. "Yeah!"

He, Raph and Cody all clapped as Cath noticed Mikey looked sick.

"Mikey!" Donnie said.

"You are the turtle." Raph joked.

Mikey kept stumbling forward, his face sad.

"What's this? Mikey not basking in attention?" Leo questioned.

"Yeah, knock off the zombie act." Raph said, pointing at Mikey.

Mikey moaned softly as he stumbled past the podium, knocking it as he did, causing the vase to fall from it.

"Ah!" Serling yelped, catching it.

"Guys, I'm not so sure it's an act." Cody said.

Mikey touched his stomach as Cath and Elisa came towards him.

"Mikey, are you okay?" Cath asked, going into doctor mode.

"Yeah, you look like you're gonna be sick, bro?" Elisa noted.

Splinter opened his eyes and turned as Mikey fell onto his chest and past out.

"Michelangelo!" Splinter gasped.

"Mikey!" Cath cried.

She ran over and crouched beside him, as he opened his eyes, which glowed red.

"Maybe he ate too many hot dogs." Donnie suggested.

Mikey suddenly got up, knocking Cath aside, before he turned and ran off.

"Oh!" Cath moaned, hitting the fall on her behind. "Okay, now why'd he do that?"

"I have no clue." Elisa said.

Cath got up as everyone ran out of the room and after Mikey, herself bringing up the rear.

In the kitchen, Mikey was standing by the open refrigerator, scarfing down food like mad.

"Or maybe he didn't eat enough." Leo said.

"Then why did it look like he had a stomachache earlier?" Cath questioned, puzzled.

Mikey turned around as he kept eating, showing everyone he was eating vegetables.

"Mikey's eating vegetables?" Raph questioned. "Now I know something's up with him.

"Yeah. He'd only eat vegetables if it was on a pizza?" Elisa recalled.

"You feeling okay, bro?" Donnie asked, touching Mikey's forehead.

Mikey whacked him with his arm, sending him flying away.

"AH! OH!" he moaned, hitting a wall.

He fell onto his behind as Cath ran over to him, as the other Mutants approached Mikey.

"Mikey, what are you doing?" Leo asked.

"Michelangelo!" Splinter said.

"Bro!" Raph said.

"Mikey, what's wrong with you?" Elisa asked, as they all began shaking him.

Cody pressed his wrist communicator, before Mikey whacked the others away.

"AHH!" they yelled.

Raph and Elisa hit and smashed the table, as Leo hit the couch at the back, while Splinter hit the floor.

"AH!" they moaned.

"Guys!" Cath gasped, turning around.

She ran past Serling towards Mikey, who scarfed down more food, before she grabbed his shoulders.

"Mikey, what has gotten into you?" she demanded. "This is so not-"

Mikey whacked her away with his arm, sending her flying away.

"AH!" she yelled, before she hit the wall near Donnie. "OH!"

She fell onto her chest, as Mikey turned and walked past Serling, knocking him slightly, making him drop the vase.

"Oh!" he yelped, before it smashed.

The door suddenly opened, and a small robot came flying in, holding a tray. It moved towards Cody, who took a kind of hypodermic needle on what looked like a blaster from the tray, before he walked over to Mikey.

"Why do I even bother?" Serling complained.

"Take it easy, Mikey." Cody said.

He whipped and jammed Mikey's arm with the needle.

"This is just something to help you sleep before you cause too much damage." Cody explained.

Mikey stumbled back, breaking off a piece of the middle bench bar, before he knocked a bunch of objects off the counter, and passed out on his chest. Cody looked at him, as everyone else came towards him.

"Or in this case, after you cause too much damage." Leo corrected.


Later, after night had fallen, Mikey was strapped to a medical table in Cody's lab, as everyone else - but Serling - stared a the holographic scanner hooked to the table.

"We've ran a full bio-diagnostic on him, but these readings don't make any sense." Cody said, confused.

"His DNA seems to have developed some sort of photochemical mutagenic properties." Donnie explained, pointing at the hologram.

Purple ooze on the hologram merged with his DNA sperms.

"In English, Einstein?" Raph asked.

"Translation please?" Elisa asked.

"It's eating up light." Cath explained.

"More like his DNA is reacting to light, breaking down his molecular structure, and reconfiguring it." Cody explained.

Leo turned and moved closer to Mikey.

"He certainly looks normal enough." he noted, turning away. "I mean, for Mikey."

Mikey spat a bunch of purple ooze from his mouth onto Leo.

"AH!" Leo yelped, raising his arms up. "Ah! Gross."

Raph, Elisa and Splinter all moved towards Mikey, as the purple ooze went into Leo.

"That was weird. Where'd all the goop go?" he wondered.

They all turned back to the hologram, which beeped.

"Something's happening!" Cody gasped. "A spike of mitochondrial energy. These readings are off the charts."

Spikes and tentacles came out of Mikey's body, covering him in a cocoon.

"Uh, I ain't no brainiac, but I'm guessing maybe it's got something to do with that!" Raph said, pointing at it.

"Ah!" Leo gasped, as they all turned.

"Mikey!" Cath gasped.

The cocoon cracked, before Mikey burst free from it, now completely purple, with spikes on his head, shoulders, arms and legs, and his teeth were more fanged. He growled, before he sat up, as his family and Cody backed away.

"Mikey?" Donnie said.

"Mikey, are you okay?" Cath asked nervously.

Mikey growled.

"Everybody, stay back?" Donnie instructed.

Mikey whacked him with his arm, knocking him onto his shell on the floor.

"Yeah, this is a safe distance." Mikey said, sitting up.

"What's happening to him?" Leo asked.

Mikey roared, waving his arm, making Leo and Raph back away, before he jumped off the table and landed on a panel.

"Some kind of mutation, definitely alien, but not like anything I've ever seen." Cody said.

"Nor me. I've never seen something like this before." Cath said.

Mikey jumped down and landed near the doorway, as Serling came in.

"Well, it took three hours, but the kitchen is finally clean." he said, before Mikey turned and grabbed him. "Ah!"

Mikey lifted him up and threw him away, before he hit a panel.

"Ah!" he moaned.

Cody ran over to his Turtle X Battlesuit.

"Turtle X, activate!" he shouted. "Goongala!"

He got into his armor, then the hatch closed, as the Turtles took out their weapons.

"It's Ninja time!" they shouted.

Splinter ran in front of them all, holding his right arm out.

"Wait! Restrain him, but do not harm him. He is your brother." he reminded them.

Mikey growled and charged at them, before he knocked them all aside, then ran out of the room.

"Tell him that." Raph said, holding up his Sai.

They all got up and ran after Mikey, expect Serling who stumbled forward, sparks come from his head and right arm, which was loose.

"Right then. I'll just stay behind and clean up this mess." he said, before he wobbled and fell onto his behind. "Starting with me."

Mikey hopped into the sitting room like a frog, growling as he did, then jumped out of the window as Cody and his family entered, smashing it.

"We'll have to track him with the Hovershell." Donnie realized. "Come on!"

He turned and ran off, with the others right behind him.


A little later, Mikey was crawling down the wall like a spider, leaving a trail of purple ooze as he did. The Hovershell suddenly flew around the penthouse, before Mikey jumped down and landed on a ledge, then he jumped on a moving train, which the Hovershell flew after.

"I've locked onto his DNA signature." Cody explained, still in his Battlesuit.

"Good." Donnie said.

A hologram of Mikey's mutated DNA popped up in front of him, while he held a small sample of the ooze.

"Because if I understand what I'm seeing, that slime he's trailing is full of aggressive alien cells." he deduced, as the hologram showed the alien DNA mixing with Mikey's.

"Slime meaning the slime that he up chucked all over…. " Raph began, as Leo got up and walked towards the mini-fridge.

He turned as Leo pulled the door off and began scarfing down the food in it.

"Leo?" Raph said.

He, Elisa, Donnie, Cath and Splinter all got up and turned to Leo.

"Uh, Don, Cath, what's going on?" Elisa asked.

"It's got to be the slime." Donnie deduced, as Leo took out some nuts from a box and ate them. "It spreads from host to host on contact."

Leo turned and got up, before he grabbed Donnie's Bo and began biting on it.

"Meaning, when Mikey spat on Leo, he was infected." Cath realized.

"Well, whatever this is, it sure has made them hungry." Elisa noted.

"Yeah. Talk about your high fiber diets?" Raph said.

Donnie pulled his Bo away, before he turned to the controls, before Leo got up and roared.

"Don, look out!" Cath gasped.

Donnie turned around, before he and Leo began grappling with each other.

"Leo, no!" Donnie said, as they turned.

Leo turned and knocked a knob with his elbow, ejecting the front of the Hovershell from the body, which began to fall down. It hit part of an elevated highway, smashing it, then several more, as everyone but Leo held onto something.

"Way to go, Leo! You sure took the hover out of the Hovershell!" Donnie said sarcastically, as Leo grappled his arm.

The ground unit of the Hovershell slammed into a rooftop on its treads, getting itself wedged into it. The cockpit hood popped up, then Leo hopped out and began to run off.

"After him!" Donnie said.

Raph, Elisa, Donnie and Cath all jumped out of the cockpit and chased after Leo. Leo soon reached the edge of the rooftop, before he jumped off it and down to the alley below. Once the others reached the edge, Raph and Cath both turned and spotted Mikey running across the rooftops behind them, who jumped onto a smaller.

"Wait, what about Mikey?" Cath asked. "We can't leave him either."

"You guys take Leo. Me, Elisa and Cody will jet after Mikey." Raph said.

Turtle X grabbed Raph and Elisa, then turned around, engaged its jets and flew off after Mikey.

Splinter, Donnie and Cath all jumped from the rooftop to the alley, as Leo landed on a food cart, scaring an alien vendor away. Leo pulled a lid off, then began scarfing down the food, when Splinter, Donnie and Cath all landed near him.

"Leonardo, look at me?" Splinter said, tapping Leo's head with his walking stick, making him turn to him. "I am your Sensei and your father. I want you to reach deep within and bring up your true chi."

Leo turned and spat purple ooze from his mouth at Splinter, just as Donnie grabbed him and darted away, while Cath dived in the other direction.

"Look out!" Donnie yelled.

The ooze hit the window they'd stood behind, before they all turned to Leo.

"He brought up something, but I don't think it was chi." Donnie said.

"Gee, you think, bro?" Cath asked sarcastically, getting up.


Meanwhile, Turtle X flew over the rooftops as it kept hold of Raph and Elisa, seeing Mikey jump onto another rooftop.

"There's Mikey down there!" Raph said.

Mikey jumped onto another rooftop, then onto another, as Turtle X flew down towards him.

"Faster, Cody, we can't let him get away!" Raph said.

"Is this the fastest your armor can go?" Elisa asked, as Mikey jumped onto another rooftop, then onto a higher one.

"I've got it at full speed." Cody apologized.

Mikey ran along the rooftop, before he jumped off it and landed in front of Original Famous Jays. He got up and ran towards it, knocking two tables over as he did, before he smashed a hole through the metal barrier door, then entered the restaurant, just as Turtle X landed outside.

"Jay's hot dogs." Raph said, as he and Elisa jumped off the Battlesuit. "Even taken over by alien DNA, there's some things about Mikey that won't ever change."

"That goofball." Elisa smirked, as they approached the hole.

They all stopped by it, before Cody turned on a searchlight from his armor. They all entered the restaurant and looked around, seeing the place was trashed.

"Where is everybody?" Cody wondered.

"Given Mikey's new found appetite, we might be better off not knowing." Raph said.

"If anyone was here, he might've infected them like he did with Leo." Elisa deduced, as they approached the counter.

They moved past it, when a loud noise came from beneath them, making the floor shake.

"Huh? That came from below." Cody said.

Raph reached down and turned the lock on the basement door, which opened it up. He, Elisa and Cody walked down the stairs into the basement, before they saw purple ooze on the shelves.

"Well, he's definitely down here." Elisa said.

"Definitely not your run-of-the-mill mustard." Raph said.

"Don't touch it. Whatever that stuff is, it's already infected Mikey and Leo." Cody recalled.

They all kept walking and looking around, unaware they were being watched from the rafters above them by a group of people.

"If we're not careful, it could end up infecting a lot more people." Cody said.

The group of people suddenly jumped down and landed in front of them, which consisted of Mikey, Jay and seven of people, all of them now like Mikey, purple, mutated and with red eyes and spikes.

"Guess what? I think it already has." Raph said.

"Raph, Ellie, take cover!" Cody yelled.

Raph and Elisa pulled out their weapons.

"We can handle 'em ourselves!" Raph said.

Cody turned off his Battlesuit's light as the two Turtles twirled their weapons and got ready to fight.

"Not from them!" Cody said, turning his Battlesuit around. "From this!"

Turtle X grabbed a cabinet and pushed it down, which hit Mikey, Jay and the others, before Raph and Elisa jumped away. They both landed near the stairs, before some of the ooze landed near them, which just missed.

"That was close." Elisa sighed.

Some of the ooze then hit Turtle X's glass hatch.

"Ah!" Cody yelped, before he jumped it towards Raph and Elisa.

"Hope you installed windshield wipers on that thing, kid." Raph said.

"Don't worry, my armor protects me." Cody said.

"Well, it better." Elisa hoped.

They all turned as Mikey punched through the cabinet, getting their attention.

Michelangelo punches through the cabinet.

"Okay...this is that Spider-Man comic Mikey read involving that Symbiote invasion." Elisa gulped.

"What?" Cody questioned.

"Tell you later, if we get the chance." Elisa promised.

"Yeah, for now, let's get the shell out of here!" Raph said.

They all turned and ran up the stairs, just as Mikey, Jay and the others broke freed and began to chase them. Once out of the basement, Raph closed the door just before Mikey could reach them, then Cody picked up a heavy piece of machinery and put it on top of the door.

"Ah!" Raph and Elisa yelped, as it got pounded on.

They all saw the door move slightly, before Mikey's clawed hand came out.

"What do we do now?" Raph said.

"Already doing it." Cody said.

"Say what?" Raph exclaimed.

"Wait, come again?" Elisa questioned.

"Remember what Don said about the alien DNA feeding on light?" Cody asked, as his armor pressed its left arm, bringing up a holographic screen, before it pressed it. "Well, I've been running computer simulations to see if the right spectral wavelength would slow the mutation effect. Sort of a light poison."

Raph and Elisa turned to each other.

"Did you get that?" Elisa asked.

"No. Ah, where's Don or Cath when you need them?" Raph groaned.

Just them, Donnie, Cath and Splinter all entered through the hole in the wall.

"Well, speak of the devil." Elisa joked.

Turtle X turned around as Donnie, Cath and Splinter approached them all.

"Yo, Donnie, Cath! Are we glad to see you, guys." Raph said, as they ran towards them. "We need a geek translator fast."

The trio walked past Raph and Elisa directly towards a rack of hot dogs, before they grabbed a handful each and began scarfing them down, their eyes red.

"Oh, nuts. Leo musta slimed them." Raph realized.

"Then that means we're all that's left." Elisa realized.

"So where is Leo?" Cody wondered.

A loud noise made the room shake, making them all turn, and see Leo come in, having ripped through another part of the wall.

"You just had to ask, didn't ya?" Raph said sarcastically.

Leo's eyes flinched as he entered the room

"Hang on, I think I found the right wavelength." Cody said.

Turtle X pressed its left arm, bringing up its searchlight, which shined on Leo. Leo stopped and raise his arms up, but then he laughed as tentacles came out of his body, covering him in a cocoon.

"So much for that theory, kid." Raph said.

"There must be some other component that's triggering the mutation." Cody deduced. "Maybe another form of radiation."

His armor pressed the left arm, bringing up the readings.

"Well, what?" Elisa asked frantically.

"I don't know yet." Cody replied.

"Well, you better figure it out fast, 'cause we know what's coming next." Raph said, as Leo's cocoon wobbled.

Leo broke free from his cocoon, now exactly like Mikey, as Cody turned off his Battlesuit's searchlight and charged at him.

"Cody, wait!" Raph and Elisa called together.

Leo roared and slashed Turtle X with his left claws, knocking it back against Raph, Elisa and the machine on top of the basement doors. It knocked them all over, then as Raph, Elisa and Cody got up, Mikey punched through the basement door away, then he, Jay and the other drones all came out. Donnie, Cath and Splinter all stopped eating hot dogs, as they and Leo turned, so all the drones faced Raph, Elisa and Cody.

"Okay, kid, I'll take the uglies on the right, Elisa takes the ones in the middle, and you take the uglies on the left." Raph said, as he and Elisa took out their weapons and twirled them around.

The drones all came towards him, but then they suddenly stopped, then they turned around and kneeled.

"Was it something I said?" Raph said, puzzled.

"Uh, I don't think so." Elisa said, shaking her head.

Tentacles slid into the room in front of the drones, before laughter came from it, and it changed into Sh'Okanabo.

"Sh'Okanabo?!" Elisa scowled.

"We should have guessed your ugly hide was behind this somehow, Sh'Okanabo. Whatever you did to our family, you better change 'em back, now!" Raph demanded.

"Hah! Insignificant creatures, we stand on the brink of a new age for your planet." Sh'Okanabo scoffed.

The drones all turned and glared at Raph, Elisa and Cody.

"Gaze at your future, for soon you will all join the ranks of my Kanabo drones." Sh'Okanabo said. "For this is the way of my kind, as it has always been and always shall be."

"What are you talking about?" Elisa demanded, glaring at him.

(Flashback)

A spaceship flew down towards an alien planet.

"The Kanabo roam from planet to planet, infecting host bodies with our DNA."

The spaceship flew down towards a city on the planet, then over it.

"Merging with them; slowly..."

In the city, purple tentacles came out of some of the citizens, encasing them in cocoons.

"...taking them over, until they all become Kanabo themselves in a global Day of Awakening."

The citizens all free themselves from the cocoon, now Kanabo drones.

The entire planet soon becomes infected, turning it soiled.

"And so the infestation spreads until the planet's resources are sucked dry."

(Flashback ends)

"Tonight's test of viability proves the host bodies are perfect for consumption. Soon the transformation will be complete, permanent." Sh'Okanabo explained. "Then nothing will stop the Day of Awakening."

Tentacles came out of Donnie, Cath and Splinter, forming cocoons around them, which they quickly ripped open, becoming full Kanabo drones.

"Okay, kid, wait for our signal, then we make a break for it." Raph said.

Cody however, activated his armor's jets and zoomed over the top of the Kanabos and Sh'Okanabo's heads, before he turned it around and flew off.

"Jumping the gun." Raph sighed. "Just like your great-grandpa Casey."

"Sometimes, I wish he was more like April." Elisa sighed.

Cody smashed his armor through a back wall and into a garage, then smashed through a truck that was parked outside. Raph and Elisa both jumped out of the hole and towards the truck.

"Stop them!" Sh'Okanabo commanded, pointing at the truck.

His drones all began to run towards the hole, as Raph and Elisa jump into the truck via its hole in the side, then leaped into the front, while Turtle X lay in the back. Raph took the wheel and pressed a button, starting the ignition, then the truck floated up off the garage floor. The Kanabo drones ran into the garage, then Mikey jumped and grabbed a wheel of the truck, before he lost his grip and fell down to the floor.

"Don't worry, I'll figure a way out of this." Raph hoped.

A growling noise made him and Elisa turn around.

"Uh, Cody, is that you?" Elisa asked nervously.

"Oh, crud." Raph said.

Purple ooze dripped the cockpit of Turtle X, as Cody had been infected.

"Guess they don't make battle armor the way they used to." Raph said.

Cody climbed out of Turtle X's cockpit, roaring, now a Kanabo.

The truck kept hovering up as the Kanabos looked at it.

"Now what do we do?" Elisa asked worriedly. "We've lost all our brainaics!"

"I... Why you asking me?" Raph asked.

"You're the older one!" Elisa reminded me. "And you said you'd think of something!"

"But-" Raph began.

Cody grabbed him and threw him to the back of the truck, slamming into the back panel.

"Cody, wait-" Elisa began, before Cody grabbed her and threw her away. "AHH!"

She hit the floor near Raph, rolling onto her chest, before they both looked up, as Cody charged at them.

Outside, Sh'Okanabo and the drones could all hear the sounds of fighting.

"There is nothing the Turtles can do to stop me now." Sh'Okanabo declared.

Cody punched Raph, making him fall against the control panel, which he knocked his arm. The truck was sent into reverse, making it crash through the back wall, then soon the entire truck was outside, now with the sun shining. The back end of the truck hit a building slightly, before the truck rose up, as Cody kept his hands around Raph's and Elisa's necks, strangling them.

"AHH!" they choked.

The truck soon got into the sunlight, which shined through the window and onto Cody, making him release Raph and Elisa.

"Ah! AH!" he groaned, backing away.

He fell onto his knees, before he turned back to normal, as smoke came out of his body.

"Raph? Elisa? What-what happened?" Cody asked, puzzled.

"Uh, I ain't too sure." Raph said, as he turned and sat down in the driver's seat.

"Neither am I?" Elisa shrugged.

She turned around as Cody approached her and Raph.

"First you went all alien, then it all just turned to dust, soon as we got out into…." Raph began.

They all looked up at the sun.

"Sunlight!" they said together.

"Could it be that simple?" Cody questioned.

"Only one way to find out." Raph said.

"Time to turn our family back to normal." Elisa said.


Inside, Sh'Okanabo and his drones all stood in a shaded section of the garage, his drones all standing around him.

"Glorious. You drones will spread the Kanabo gene seed across the planet. Then, the Day of Awakening will commence." Sh'Okanabo declared.

The truck suddenly smashed through the outer wall, getting everyone's attention.

"I got your Day of Awakening right here!" Raph said, in the driver's seat.

Cody, once again in his armor, crashed through another part of the wall, with Elisa riding on its back.

"Stop them!" Sh'Okanabo commanded.

Leo turned and ran after Cody and Elisa, Cody turning Turtle X around.

"You want us? Come and get us!" Cody dared, landing Turtle X on its feet.

Leo kept charging at them, before he got into the sunlight.

"AH!" he moaned.

He began to spin around as he raised his arms over his head head, as smoke came out of him.

"Sorry, Leo, but this is for your own good." Elisa said, jumping off Turtle X.

"Yes! It's working!" Cody whooped.

Leo groaned as he returned to normal, then lowered his hands.

"Uh. Ellie? Cody, what happened?" Leo asked, puzzled. "Where are we?"

"Long story, bro." Elisa replied. "But now not."

Leo turned around as Splinter, Cath and Donnie came towards them all.

"Yeah, explanations later. Raph, care to shed a little light on this situation?" Cody called.

Raph backed the truck away towards the wall over Donnie, Cath and Splinter, before he smashed a hole in it with the back of the truck. He moved it away, as sunlight shined into the room and onto Donnie, Cath and Splinter, making them fall to their knees.

"AH!" they moaned.

Smoke came out of them, as they all turned back to normal, looking puzzled.

"What's going on?" Donnie asked.

Splinter belched. "And why do I taste raw hot dogs?" he wondered.

Cath belched, making her cover her mouth.

"Ew, gross. I feel like I've eaten too much." Cath gulped.

They all got up and looked at Cody.

"Follow my lead!" he said.

He flew Turtle X up towards the ceiling, then grabbed a boarded window and ripped it off, allowing more sunlight to come in.

"Sunlight?" Cath muttered.

"It's the only way to turn everyone back." Elisa explained, taking her Kamas out. "Come on!"

She turned and ran off, before her family all joined her, running in different directions, Donnie, Cath and Leo taking out their weapons.

Elisa sliced open a bunch of boards with her right Kama.

"AHH!" a man screamed, falling to his knees as smoke came out of him.

Donnie kicked another section of boards off a wall.

"Hi-yah!" he yelled.

"AHH!" a woman screamed, raising her forearms over her face, as smoke came out of him.

Splinter knocked more boards away with his right hand, making a man fall to his knees.

"AH!" he moaned, as smoke came out of him.

Leo sliced through another piece of board, then Cath pried another board off with her Tonfas.

"AHH!" the Kanabo drones moaned.

Sh'Okanabo looked in horror as they all fell to the floor in pain, then turned back to normal as smoke came from them - expect Mikey.

"Wha?" Jay muttered.

"AH! OH!" a woman moaned.

"How is this possible? A complete breakdown of the turmeric symbiosis?" Sh'Okanabo exclaimed.

"AGHH!" Mikey moaned, on his knees, before he turned back to normal. Wha..? Huh?"

His family - expect Elisa - all ran towards him, as Raph landed the truck, before Turtle X and Elisa landed near it.

"Raph, Ellie, we did it!" Cody whooped, as Raph jumped out of the truck. "We save everyone! Maybe even the whole planet.

"Yeah, and all thanks to the good old Sun." Raph said. "Now let's kick Mr. Prime Specimen where the sun don't shine."

He took out his Sais, as Cody and the Mutant family all turned to Sh'Okanabo.

"All my plans and preparations, only to be defeated by mere sunlight?" he exclaimed.

He roared and stretched his tentacles out to the walls on either side of him, slicing into them.

"No one shall know what transpired here today!" he declared.

He retracted his tentacles, then leap up through the ceiling, creating a hole, which began to widen, as he had caused the building to start to collapse.

"Somebody wanna tell me what's going on?" Leo asked.

"Sure thing, right after we get these people the shell out of here!" Raph promised.

"And Mikey, this is out of one of your comics!" Elisa assured.

"It is?" Mikey questioned.

"Oh, it is." Elisa assured.

A little later, Turtle X bashed the outer door down, before he carried a man out. Leo helped another man out, as Splinter and Cath carried another over their shoulders each, then Mikey and Elisa carried a woman out each bridle style, followed by Raph, as Donnie carried Jay over his shoulders. They all get clear of the building, just before it collapsed in on itself

"Well, there goes all the evidence of Sh'Okanabo's plot." Raph sighed.

"We know the truth." Cody assured.

Sirens wailed, making them all turn left, seeing several Peacekeeper bikes flying towards them.

"Yeah, but who's gonna believe it?" Raph inquired. "Come on, let's go!"

Cody and the Mutant family turned and ran off, leaving Jay and the other citizens, just before the Peacekeepers showed up.


Later, on Sh'Okanabo's ship, Sh'Okanabo was on the bridge, as Viral was linked into a computer.

"This is impossible! The Kanabo have thrived before on countless planets under countless suns." he roared, turning to Viral.

"Not impossible, Dread Lord, merely improbable." Viral explained. "Analysis indicates..."

She turned as a hologram of the Sun and Earth rotating around it showed up.

"...that the unique wavelength of this planet's solar radiation, focused through its unusually oxygenated atmosphere has a dire effect on the emerging symbiosis. In other words…." Viral said.

"All my efforts have been in vain!" Sh'Okanabo snarled, turning around. "The Kanabo cannot survive on Earth."

He walked off angrily and broke a bunch of the cages.

"This place could sustain us for centuries if not for its accursed Sun!" he snarled, turning into his tentacles as he moved to the hologram.

His body turned back to normal as he stared at it.

"But perhaps that obstacle can be eliminated." he said hopefully.

He laughed evilly, for he wasn't about to give up his plan, once he got rid of his problem.


A/N: The comic Elisa is referring too is the Planet of the Symbiotes arc in Spider-Man, back in 1995, in case you're wondering.
