Crap Baskets hit the Fan
So…this might be life for Dale now. One minute he was heading to his truck. The next he was caught with Jason and April's friend Sunita in the middle of one of those gang wars. Which had made its way out of the concentrated areas.
Both of them had taken off their Human disguises. Then Sunita distracted Raptor, Scorpiion and Man Bun with her gunk before retracting and giving Leather Head a speed boost by swimming over her and crashing into Meat Sweats before knocking Raptor, Naga and Repo away with his tail.
"This is still feeling really weird." Leather Head muttered.
"Look out!" Dale shouted only for Meat Sweats to slam his hammer on his head knocking him out. "Looks like it's Crocodile Steaks tonight!" Meat Sweats sneered.
"No, it's not!" Mikey shouted as he jumped down and landed a kick into Meat Sweats cheek and knocked him down. He then summoned chains to wrap everyone up. Dale and Sunita helped Leather Head up as Mikey lead them out. "We gotta get out of here those won't hold for long! And I can't take them all, by myself."
"I can't take them period!" Dale half joked. "My Truck is this way come on!" He said leading them away. Mikey could hear the snapping as he jumped into the back helping Jason in as Sunita and Dale got in the front. Dale immediately activated the truck then floored the gas.
As they did Mikey and Leather Head noticed Death Jaw bite through the Mystic Powers. "He's got the same powers you do!" Mikey cried.
"Yeah…." Leather Head muttered worriedly. "I'm not good at fighting yet but I can do this!" Jason muttered taking out his laptop which was still in pretty good shape. Typing in a program quick immediately coming from a direction was a large robot. It had a flat oval but strong looking body.
It had thick armor but and large crab legs and arms. and began blasting at the Baddies who scattered spastically when it began firing lasers from it's face which was a black visor with large glowing circles. "Does Kendra go to the Junkyard too!?" Mikey asked surprised.
"Yeah, she'll take Jeremy a lot. She's really good at tech. Almost as good as Donnie from what I can gather." Leather head replied.
As they left Dog Pound and Death Jaw jumped up at it crushing one of it's arms in their jaws before he threw them away. Manbun landed a powerful kick right in the Visor cracking it open.
It was then Meat Sweats swung his hammer at the side of the Robot's face. This made a large dent in the top of the Robot. "Looks like we screamed and ran into an impasse!" Rocksteady noted.
"Yeah, and there's only one way out!" Repo agreed.
"Until this mechanical monstrosity is taken down! Then we can get back to killing each other." Overdrive added.
Repo jumped up and slashed at it with his claws. Scorpiion clamped down on the other arm with his claws and held on tight as it turned towards Bebop and Rocksteady ramming it.
Overdrive spun around it, slashing his knives at its joints. He then managed to grab it's legs with his own and twist it causing the Robot to fall down a little.
However, it pulled out several more weapons at them and began to Fire however Death Jaw jumped over it and began rapidly biting through the metal until it was nothing.
"Well done, Compadre." Overdrive sneered, impressed.

Satoshi made his way into the Hidden City. He found out where the Heads were on the Map quickly and made his way there. However, as he did, he suddenly saw Lord Dregg leaning on his Ornate walking stick and looking in Satoshi's direction, The Elf Yokai had been. The Young Dragon skid on his feet. "Lord Dregg what are you doing here?"
"Discussing matters of the Orichalcum." Lord Dregg replied.
"Then you know we have to close off all the paths to what remains of the Crying Titan!" Satoshi said.
"I have already spoken with the Heads, and they agree that Big Mama should clean up her own mess." Lord Dregg replied. "This is a foreign matter anyway."
"But isn't it the guard's duty to protect Yokai!?" Satoshi asked worriedly.
"Only Humans are getting hurt calm yourself." Dregg replied.
"But what if Yokai get hurt!?" Satoshi cried.
"They are keeping to the Hidden City and have no reason to venture into the Human World more than they have too." Dregg replied. "Regardless, you and the rest of the Guard Answer to me! And no one else!"
"BUT!" Satoshi cried but Dregg cut him off.
"An order! Or do you wish to cause your family and home dishonor!?" Dregg snarled.
Satoshi groaned gritting his teeth and hanging his head feeling frustrated.

Mikey sighed as he came into the Lair with Dale, Leather Head and Sunita. "Everything's going crazy up there." He muttered mostly to himself.
"Mikey!" Raph shouted rushing over. "What were you thinking!? Why'd you go up there alone!? And what are they doing here."
"It's fine we got away without having to fight much." Mikey replied.
"That doesn't answer my question!" Raph barked.
"I just thought I could mediate the injury count up there." Mikey replied. "I can handle myself. And I grew up learning to fight armies for thirteen years!"
"So, you went up there by yourself!?" Raph reiterated. "Because you think all the abuse you suffered is gonna help you."
"It's not like we were gonna do it as a team." Mikey bitterly remarked.
"LEO!" Raph barked storming off to find him.
"Raph stop!" Mikey shouted running after him. The two had completely forgotten about their now feeling very invasive guests.
"I…..need to do my laundry!" Dale said rushing out of the Lair back to his truck.
"I'm gonna see if April's here!" Sunita replied disappearing into the Lair.
Leather Head was the only one who remained and went to find Mikey. Venturing deeper into the lair he found Mikey curled up into a ball. Now sitting against his car as Leo and Raph were arguing in the other room.
"You, okay?" Leatherhead asked.
"I'd better if they weren't fighting. This isn't because of you. It happened when a monster called Shredder killed out Gram-Gram Karai and destroyed our old home." Mikey replied.
"So that's what happened? I was wondering what happened to her. I just assumed she may have been visiting and went back home." Leatherhead replied.
"I'm thinking Leo doesn't want to fight if he doesn't have too anymore. And losing Gram-Gram and our home. Then having to leave our Dad, Tiger Claw and Carol behind to get captured by the Foot. It's left a bad impact on him. And I think all the destruction is acting like a trigger. But he won't talk to ANYONE! If he did! He could work through this! Raph should be talking with someone too." Mikey sobbed.
Leatherhead passed him a hanky to clean up with. "Thanks." Mikey replied.
"So, I haven't been able to check in on you. For that I'm sorry. How've you been doing?" Mikey asked him. then passed back the Handkerchief which Leatherhead placed into a small plastic bag.
"Well, I've learned how to sit with a tail. Being a Mutant Saltwater Crocodile is weird. So is wearing and using the cloaking broach. I'm scared Kendra is going to use that as black mail."
"I won't let her and neither will the others. Even Donnie." Mikey promised.
"Thanks." Leatherhead sighed calming down. "The weirdest thing. Is my whole life as a human I couldn't hope to do anything I can now. I can fight. I'm sloppy but I'm picking things up." he admitted.
"I'm sure we could teach you to fight better." Mikey offered.
"So, Krysta used to be human. And the Mutant Mafia gave her the name Alopex. But she hates that name, so we just call her Krysta, and she'll introduce herself as such. But what about you?" Mikey asked.
"I've been introducing myself as Jason to new people. I don't think I can handle telling the World I'm a mutant. Or the fallout. As for you guys, they're both me. So, you can call me what you like. Interchangeably even." Jason replied.
Mikey smiled making up with Jason at least made the night just a little bit better.

Raph had run out of the lair again. He couldn't handle that Bozo Leo and had to blow off some steam. as he did, he heard a Tiger roar. Rushing over he saw Tiger Claw fighting with Big Mama who was spewing webbing at him. Tiger Claw used his Ninpo to block it.
Raph also noticed that Big Mama's Bellhops and soldiers were with her and now attacking the League of Evil Mutants and the Tiranno Family Thugs who already looked exhausted from fighting each other. "Tiger Claw!" Raph called jumping down and punching away the Seal Bellhop.
"Raph what are you doing here!?" Tiger Claw shouted as he grabbed Meat Sweats and threw him into several of Big Mama's soldiers.
"Doing something unlike Leo!" Raph shouted as he power punched Repo away from the Tiger Mutant. It was then a couple of Big Mama's Soldiers brought in staffs. They had bits of Orichalcum on them for the crystal. They then began to focus the energy inside and started blasting at the League of Evil villains.
"In coming!" Bebop shouted as everyone scattered.
"Raph look out!" Tiger Claw shouted pushing the Snapper down, as a large burst of energy rushed towards an incoming bus. the Driver screamed as did his passengers. The Driver tried to dodge the blast of energy. But the Bus had taken the blow in it's side as he skid the vehicle to a stop.
The Driver got everyone off the bus and ran himself. But someone was still trapped there. As immediately he began calling for help. Raph immediately ran on. He used his Power Punch to push away the debris of the Broken bus. He punched open a hole for the smoke to escape as he rushed over to the man in a white shirt and backpack.
He weakly looked up at the Snapper. "Wha-what are you!?" he cried.
"Don't worry about it!" Raph replied as he picked up the man and immediately rushed him outside and placed him down. The Paramedics arrived and took the man away. Raph hid watching them go. However, he was suddenly jumped by Bebop and Rocksteady.
"SURPRISE!" they shouted together as Raph yelped.

Frida back in her assassin outfit with her hood down and her mask on her belt. followed her mother obediently as they went to a hidden part of her auction house. Deep Below the Hidden City. She waved her clawed hand over the wall and instantly the wall disappeared. "Only I can open this door. It took a lot of time and effort to get this special little room."
Frida immediately saw a small Temple in the center of a glowing pond. "Is that Empyrean?"
"Yes, but this Spiffy little Shrine Bobble. Has altered it in some strange way. They effect each other creating something unique." Big Mama explained.
"Unique how?" Frida asked.
"This this little Mystical Room. You can train for hours. But get years of experience instead." Big Mama replied putting an arm around Frida's shoulder before gesturing out towards the small Temple with large glowing doors.
"Years!? So in theory…." Frida gasped.
"You could catch up to little Spitty Fire easy." Big Mama finished. "You're a brilliant as self-taught fighter Hunchy-Boo but it's time you got some formal lessons. I will teach you, and with this…We'll be ready to make them pay for how they hurt you."
"Yeah, sounds good." Frida growled.

"I Got what we need!" Raptor declared flying out from the gate way to the Hidden City.
"Get to the boss and Draxum NOW!" Dog Pound commanded.
"NO!" Raph shouted as he sent several of himself to rush after Raptor. But Overdrive was quick to zip around landing powerful blows at the back of their necks. Then landed a spinning kick into the Real Raph. He and his copies all fell to the ground. The copies disappearing into a burst of light.
Death Jaw was also quick to attack Rocksteady and Bebop before they could react. Rocksteady turned on his Diamond Hide and started punching down the large Shark Mutant. Once he was done he began to run after the Golden Eagle Mutant. But Death Jaw Bit into his arm and began to crack.
"AHHH! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!" Rocksteady screamed trying to Punch him in the Gills.
"ROCK!" Bebop screamed.
"Mesmarooo!" Hypno shouted hypnotizing Death Jaw into letting him go. Rocksteady changed back and found several bleeding puncture wounds up his hand.
"AHHH THAT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!" Rocksteady cried as Hypno began healing his arm.
Death Jaw immediately went after Tiger Claw the Moment he saw him breaking through Hypno's control instantly. "NIGHT WATCHEERRRR!" he screamed and tackled him down as Tiger Claw using his Ninpo began pushing back against the jaw's of the Shark Mutant.
"Tiger Claw!" Raph shouted rushing over to help him only for Dog Pound to attack him with a sucker punch. Raph snarled at him. Rearing back a Power Punch that Dog Pound smirking merely jumped up then landed back down as hard as he could landing so hard that the ground cracked and Raph was blasted back by a shock wave. Dog Pound then grabbed Raph before he could react and threw him as hard as he could. Raph then crashed and was buried in rubble.
"RAPH!" Tiger Claw cried as he struggled to get Death Jaw off of him. Raptor had put the Evil League of Mutants into a hiding from a barrage of bullet feathers. While Overdrive destroyed the rest of Big Mama's soldiers and Manbun managed to kick the Bellhops towards Fish Legs where he immediately electrocuted them till, they were unconscious.
Dog Pound then climbed to the top of a building. He then pulled out crystal that immediately took over every screen in the city. "Listen well New York! Times are changing! Every inch of Turf you live on! Every penny you earn! Every little crumb you've ever been handed. Belong's to the Tiranno family! So I suggest you little humans bow to your new rulers!"
"Yeesh you talk to much!" Leo suddenly groaned as one of his portals suddenly appeared beside him and Splinter spitting Raph out of it. Leo looked at his brother. "You're welcome for saving you, from you!"
"HOT SOUP BABY!" Mikey shouted as he wrapped up Death Jaw and lifted him up and slammed him into Dog Pound. The two then landed through several crumbling floors of the building that Dog Pound had been making his speech on and fell into a heap.
"Okay we got Raph and Tiger Claw! So Vamanos!" Leo stated as Mikey rushed over to Tiger Claw.
"We can't go yet! They're still here!" Raph shouted.
"Why do we care! This isn't our fight! They'd be killing each other instead of us if you and Tiger Claw didn't show up!" Leo snapped.
"Uh oh!" Mikey yelped as the group suddenly found themselves surrounded by all the remaining Mutants. Including a Pissed off Dog Pound and Death Jaw. Who gnashed his teeth at Tiger Claw.
"Oh, look they want to beat us up now! Almost as if we shouldn't have come here!" Leo deadpanned.
"Leo, Raph is right." Mikey finally said. "We can't just do nothing anymore!"
"Et Tu Mikey!?" Leo snapped. Mikey sighed and hung his head. He could feel Leo's seething glare on him. But he couldn't just let things keep happening anymore.
"Yeah….." Mikey whispered sadly. Now firmly siding with Raphael.
"You heard what Dog Pound said. The Tiranno Family want to take over the city!" Raph snapped.
"Leo just admit your scared!" Tiger Claw added. He started talking more but Leo didn't hear him. Instead, Leo just kept being surrounded by the image of his family as skeletons around him. their shells now dull and white without their chutes. and Donnie's shell rotted away to nothing. He just stared in horror tears falling down his face.
"Leo!" Mikey shouted trying to get his attention. "LEO!" he shouted louder snapping him out of it.
"I'm not scared! I'm just being smarter than Raph!" Leo shouted.
"That's a lie and you know it!" Tiger Claw snapped at him.
"It's not! When I have, I ever lied!?" Leo shouted.
"Do you want the list Alphabetically or in ascending order of Lie size?" Splinter deadpanned. Leo gave him a half lidded annoyed look.
It was then they heard the Bus roar to life. They turned to see it charging at them. Overdrive had gotten inside and hot-wired it back to life. And was now trying to run them over. Leo immediately portalled them out of the way. And the Portal closed just as the Bus roared over where they were standing towards Rocksteady who sneered and changed into his Diamond hide.
"I've got this!" he said simply as he charged at the bus at a high-speed horn out as he immediately tore the bus in half. Overdrive had managed to get out of his seat but had been blasted into the wall by a shock wave.
"He groaned holding his nose as he pulled himself up." The remaining Mutants were exhausted now.
"ENOUGH!" shouted a voice coming down with Five tails was Kitsune who smirked holding a Prison orb. Then then charged up some magic in her hand before blasting the Hidden City Entrance they were fighting over. Immediately she and her Mutants were covered in a matching red aura.
"There, we can use it. But you can't!" Kitsune smirked to Dog Pound. "Checkmate! Now what was that about that about this City belonging to you little Mobsters?" She asked that same Aura surging around her.
Dog Pound growled at her animalistically. However, it was then that a portal of Baron Draxum's opened as the Mafia Mutants gathered around each other. "This isn't over." He warned her as they all ran into the portal.
"How did you-!?" Bebop asked rushing over to her. "You couldn't do that this morning!"
"Well, that's what happens when you stalk a leader Yokai. Who just so happened to have made his way out here. To tell his little Guardians no." Kitsune cryptically, yet gleefully replied.
"You got Dregg in that Prison orb!?" Rocksteady gasped.
"That's right." Kitsune replied chipperly.
"Why don't you just drain him dry for more tails?" Hypno asked.
"I could but he's more valuable to me as a Hostage. Even if no one on the council likes him. They love the City of Oaishu too much to let it's beloved Leader die at the hands of it's worst enemy. And besides he's actually good at what he does. And I know the Guard will be coming soon." Kitsune said laughing at the Orb.

Frida sat Meditating. Feeling the energy as instructed. "This energy is an extension of yourself and thus your will. It is yours to command and what you can do is endless. Focus it remember who must pay for their treachery!" Big Mama instructed as Frida remembered when she was attacked. Her brothers prodding to get her to believe she was abused. Their crock of lies. Her blood boiled at the thought as did her powers. She commanded them to become like Fire! Then on command immediately Aqua and teal flames began to appear around her. As they did a dark sinister aura began to lace itself over the Fire. Big Mama smiled.

As Donnie's group began looking through Central Park. Lizzie gasped, she looked up into the sky and could sense the Dark Power that was beginning to build. What made her worried is that it felt like Frida. "What's wrong?" Krysta asked.
"I sense something bad about Frida!" Lizzie muttered. "But…..I can't go check on her. She doesn't love me anymore! She thinks I tried to kill her."
"We'll set things right." April assured.
"Any sign of them Purple one?" Casey asked.
"That's Donatello to you and I've got their trackers, but the signal is weird. It only does that when Leo's put himself and others into a Portal." Donnie replied. "I have to wait till there out for a clear-"
"WAAAHHHHH!" Everyone shouted as they immediately came flying out of a Portal and right in front of them.
"Found them." Donnie replied gesturing to them.
"I'm not gonna count that!" Casey snapped as she suddenly felt something in her skin. She turned and saw Shelldon who was whistling and acting Innocent.
"Raph, Leo, Mikey, Splints, Tiger Claw. What happened to you!?" April asked as she, Lizzie and Krysta rushed over.
"Raph sticking his nose where it doesn't belong happened." Leo snippily replied.
"Oh, mean doing the job we signed up to do!?" Raph snarled.
"Leo, maybe you're right about not getting involved with the fights. But we should be helping people to safety." Mikey suggested.
"I thought you were on Raph's side." Leo barked at him coldly. Mikey shrunk back and hung his head. a small squeak of a whimper escaping his throat.
"BE NICE TO YOUR BROTHER BLUE!" Splinter snapped at Leo.
"Yeah, like that's been helpful!" Leo growled.
Lizzie gasped as Tiger Claw, Krysta and Donnie huddled close to the Distraught Mikey who was sniffling. Tiger Claw began rubbing his back growling at Leo.
"You don't get to take this out on the rest of your siblings! Just because you and Raph can't sit down and talk!" Tiger Claw shouted.
Leo was about to say something when they heard panting. He had turned to see the Sacred Guard coming looking thoroughly exhausted. "Mona!" Raph shouted rushing over and helping her up before she collapsed beating Slash and Satoshi too it. "What happened.
"Kitsune's not only got more tails! But she captured Dregg just after Satoshi left him!" Slash explained. "Now she's kicking everyone's ass including ours. She's also got a new Spell that's locking down the ways into Crying Titan Site!"
"And right now she wants to stuff us into more of the Prison Orbs she stole!" Goku added.
"LEO!" Raph roared.
"I didn't do this!" Leo roared back.
"YES, YOU DID! Because you didn't listen to me all of this is happening! ALL OF THIS IS BECAUSE OF YOU! WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!?" he roared.
"Thanks for the heads up!" Kitsune called as she appeared above them. Everyone got into a fighting stance. "Everyone is back at the Café licking their wounds! But I'm pretty sure I can take you all myself." she sneered. "Like my new tails!"
"Euughhh boy!" Leo muttered.
Kitsune immediately charged up a bunch of Power blasted everyone off their feet and into the Bushes and trees behind them. "Now to get you all out of the way!" she sneered allowing the remaining six Prison Orbs to orbit around her as many different tendrils from them began to rise and come to life.
However, an intense surge of Aqua and black energy immediately struck the orbs except for the one holding Dregg which Kitsune had been wearing around her neck. Then jumping in front of her was Frida.
"Frida!" Lizzie cried. The Diamond back merely glanced back in her mask. But didn't acknowledge her.
"So Big Mama's little Stooge has finally joined the fight." Kitsune growled.
"This won't be much of a Fight!" Frida growled as she pulled out her Kama and charged energy into them immediately the blades got bigger and began glowing brightly with black and teal colors.
"Somethings different about her powers!" Mikey muttered. "And she's suddenly a lot more skilled than she was."
"They're scary." Lizzie muttered worriedly. Kitsune began blasting at Frida who merely put up a shield of her Ninpo around her. She then began glowing herself before zipping away and slashing at Kitsune who immediately had to kick her away and disappear.
"Like I said not much of a fight." Frida sneered. She turned to the rest of her Family and smirked under her mask with Mikey. "Did Draxum ever teach you that? Or did you wimp out Mikey?" she asked.
"That's shaves years off your life force!" Mikey cried. "Don't do that for her!"
"Sorry I don't listen to lies." Frida growled making her blades even bigger. Shinji was quick to blast her with a burst of wind. It managed to stun her.
"Leo get us out of here!" Donnie cried. Leo nodded and immediately opened a portal teleporting them all back to the lair.
"Frida!" Lizzie cried as she fell into it. She held out her hand towards her. But Frida didn't respond. She could feel anger emanating from under the mask.
X X X
Lizzie felt herself hit the cold floor of the Lair. everyone groaned sitting up. Mikey went over to Leo helping him up.
"Leo-" Raph growled.
"Raphael!" Splinter cried. "Please your brother is scared to lose more people! And things have gotten so dangerous."
"But this is our fault! And we wouldn't even have this problem if Leo had just listened to me! JUST ONCE! But no! He's impulsive, he's arrogant and he doesn't understand that every decision he makes could cost someone his life! AND IT WILL!" Raph screamed. "He's letting People die!"
Leo just stood there coldly looking at his older brother. "That's ironic coming from the guy who left Gram-Gram and the rest of our Family to die." he hissed venomously.
"What?" Raph snarled in a low growl. Glaring at Leo with a murderous stare.
"Leo Stop!" Donnie shouted.
"No, no, no! You wanted us to talk! So, we're gonna talk!" Leo snarled pulling out his swords. "You left them to die! Karai is dead because of you and Dad was almost next!" he shouted accusatorily at Raph who screamed and charged with his sais. Leo blocked him.
"I HAD TOO LEO! YOU THINK I WANTED TO! WE WERE THE LAST HOPE TO STOP SHREDDER!" Raph screamed.
"OH SO IT'S OKAY WHEN YOU DO NOTHING AND LEAVE PEOPLE TO DIE!" Leo screamed.
"You guys stop fighting!" Lizzie called.
"Please!" Klunk added.
Krysta immediately made an ice crystal shot up between them. "Stop it both of you! This is NOT HELPING!" Krysta shouted getting between them.
"Stay out of this!" Raph snarled at Krysta almost threatening to hit her too.
"Raph come on! We're all on the same side!" Mona shouted grabbing his arm and dragging him back. Donnie and April were quick to pull Leo back as he struggled against them. He then stomped on Donnie and April's feet making them yelp and let go. He then charged at Raph with a snarl. Raph broke away from Mona and charged.
"ENOUGH!" Splinter shouted as he and Tiger Claw got between them. Splinter shoved Leo down and used his tails to grab his swords and drop them off to the side. Tiger Claw grabbed Raph's wrists and held him back his stripes glowing with his Ninpo.
"You're Brothers! And your attacking each other like enemies! THINK!" Splinter screamed in tears. Raph was the only one who actually calmed down and looked around hanging his head. Shaking it before glaring at Leo.
"Fuck Leo….what else is there to say? We…..we'd be better of without you." Raph groaned. Leo looked horrified at this his anger turning to horror. However there was suddenly the sight of a massive amount of metal getting between everyone. Leo yelped grabbing his swords in case he had to get everyone out again. But the one who had suddenly smashed his own room between them was Mikey as Krysta and Klunk stared at him in horror.
He hadn't been corrupted it. Instead he was crying, crying like he had those nightmares a year and a half ago. Like he was reacting to Draxum abusing him. Reacting to Leo….hurting him.
"Mikey?" Leo asked in a scared whisper.
"I…..I can't…." Mikey sobbed. "I can't watch this family tear itself apart anymore!" he screamed before running out of the Lair.
"MIKEY!" Leo, Klunk and Krysta screamed together racing after him.
"Mikey come back!" Tiger Claw screamed pulling himself up over the broken train car. Mikey ran as fast as he could running from their voices. Away from a broken Dream.
To Be Continued…..
