I own nothing except the stuff I made up
Clothes don't make the Turtle
They had been waiting and waiting for Raph. Leo a mutant red eared slider with yellow stripes, a pair going from his chin down his shoulders. With a scar with a blue portal pattern on his right shoulder going into his plastron, groaned, agitated and impatient. "Raph come on we want to see!"
"Hold on! You can't rush fashion!" Raph bit from behind the curtain.
"What if it didn't rush. But still went kind of fast?" Lizzie, a small mutant reeves turtle girl asked. The pink bow tying back her durag bouncing a little as she tilted her head. She had a red tipped shell with a pink flower pattern on the back. Olive green skin with dark magenta triangles, one of which was over her eyes.
"Relax! I'm almost done!" Raph groaned. The Music then began playing loudly behind them in the Boom Box. As the eighty's synth and colors flashed Raph tapped his foot to the music before tightening his tie and pulling his cuffs into place as light shone over his sunglasses.
Raph, the large Snapping Turtle mutant with red spikes on his elbows, shoulders and tips of the spikes on his shell, came out in a pink dress shirt with a bright red tie that matched his mask and a dark red suit. Throwing the curtain back with a bit of flair. As he showed himself off to his siblings. The scars from one of his most recent injuries showing under the sleeves and on his fingers. The scar over his eye was now shown off with a stitching pattern in his mask. As well as a couple of marks peeking out from under his mask. His eyes ability to work had just been saved. But it still needed to be covered. He smiled his trade mark snaggle tooth showing.
Everyone gasped they were still in their Ninja outfits. Leo with his black, blue rimmed wrappings. Donatello, a mutant soft-shell mutant and his twin with purple asymmetrical rectangular markings on his shoulders and legs gasped along side his brothers and sisters. He had a battle shell which was rimmed in purple but had a black belt and carapace. Lizzie's wrappings were a black and pink gradient. The same with her belts.
Then there was Michaelangelo, a mutant Box turtle with cerulean, green skin with orange and gold spots on his arms and legs. Similar to Leonardo he had a flame pattern over his right shoulder. And on the tips and back of his shell. There were flame patterns on his left arm and leg. His wrappings had orange gloves, knee pads and rims around ankles. And blue and pink decal stickers.
The newest turtle Frida who had defected from Big Mama, was a Diamond-back terrapin Mutant with pale mint skin, dark teal diamond patterns on her arms and legs under her wrappings which had teal rims around her knees ankles and teal-colored gloves. She had aqua colored knee pads. And her mask was a mask like Leo and Mikey. Rather than a durag like Donnie, Raph and Lizzie. But similar to Leonardo and Raph it had a long tail. But she had braided it into a French braid. Which she had come to like a lot. Her belts had one over her left shoulder and around her waist. With her panic button in the center. And her shell was a dark grey with bright aqua colored diamond patterns.
All of them gasped in awe. As Raph presented himself to him Donnie tightened his grip on his water in awe.
Raph took a breath. "Be honest."
"I love it!" Leo cheered.
"Me too!" Frida admitted.
"Yeah, but I'm not in love with it ya know." Donnie hummed as Leo and Frida gasped at him. Raph let out a small sob taking off his glasses as he held his face.
"I'm a disaster!" he moaned.
"Raph it's okay you look fine!" Mikey assured.
"Fine?!" Raph gasped. "Fine is not an option! For this event Raph needs to look great!"
"Don't worry big brother! There's more where that came from!" Leo assured as he, Donnie and Lizzie pulled up more clothes for him to try.
Raph had tried a torn sleeveless shirt with torn jeans and a large buckle belt. Where more of the scar on his arm was shown. As he wore spiked belts on his wrists. They shook their heads not feeling it.
He then switched to a fedora with a dark red bow tie and pocket shirt. Mikey stuck out his tongue as he and the others shook his head. Frida pinching the bridge of her snout.
He then tried blue pants with a nineties purple and electric blue jacket with a red rim and cuffs and a red and yellow lighting bolt across it.
"Yuck." Lizzie muttered as everyone else shook their heads. The Last outfit Raph came out in was a white suit and dress shoes that were loose on him. With a white jacket with torn elbows for his spikes to go through. And a pink shirt underneath with bits of his shell sticking through that everyone loved cheering and clapping.
"Do you guys really like it?" Raph asked blushing.
"Does this place have smoke detectors cuz you're on fire big Daddy!" Leo cheered as Lizzie and Frida nodded and Donnie, who was under Leo's arm, gave two thumbs up.
"Awww you guys!" Raph blushed scratching the back of his head. "Let's roll!" he said as they all went to leave.
Except for Frida who caught sight of some clothes that interested her.
Leo also saw something he liked "Hold on a minute!" he said as he grabbed and pulled out a pink shirt with the word brand in blue letters.
"How can I say no to this!?" Leo asked.
"You. Can't!" Raph told him as they both smiled knowingly at each other.
X X X
With the music starting up again Leo put on white wristbands then a matching sweatband before pulling on the shirt. And white short shorts with a blue stripe down each leg. Leo showed himself off. But it didn't look as good as they thought. Lizzie, Raph and Mikey all shook their heads at him. The next outfit were a pair of tube socks and a white shirt that covered his whole body.
That just got him laughed at. The next outfit was a cow boy outfit with a banana he used as play gun. It was mostly brown tones. Donnie did a siren sound as Mikey tilted his head. Lizzie just stuck her tongue out at it and Raph shook his head.
His final outfit was a brown leather jacket with a faux fur collar and a dog tag with a black shirt underneath a black belt and matching torn jeans underneath. He flipped his long mask tails holding the sides of his jacket as he showed himself off with a flair.
"Wholly truffle mac and cheese!" Donnie gasped as everyone cheered wildly. They heard Frida groan as she pulled out more clothes piling them onto the floor.
"Frida what's wrong?" Mikey asked as they all came over.
"There's nothing here that, moth- I mean Big Mama would approve of." Frida sighed.
"Forget her! What does Frida want to wear? Right here right now?" Raph asked.
"Yeah, come on Frida it's your choice now!" Mikey added.
"You are you own Turtle!" Donnie added.
"If nothing else! Pretend your spiting her for the doll comment!" Leo noted.
"Yeah, she shouldn't be happy ever!" Lizzie chipperly added.
Frida hummed in thought. "I think I'll take you up on that Leo." She huffed.
Within minutes Frida came out wearing a business suit that had curves for women. The boys and Lizzie weren't so sure of it.
The next outfit she wore was a teal sleeveless shirt that showed off her arms and the diamond spots on her wrists. She had a sky-blue skirt with navy shorts underneath and boots. Lizzie and Mikey liked it but Raph and the twins weren't in love with it.
The final outfit was a backless dark grey shirt with a short neck that showed off her arms and shell. She also had a teal skirt with a slit on the side for her left leg and black boots
Everyone cheered for Frida who smiled tearing up a little. She never had anyone say she looked so good before. Only scorn and scolding. She sniffled, crying a little as her brother's hugged her.
"Are you okay?" Lizzie asked.
"Yeah, sniff. I'm alright, thanks. Lizzie, you want to go next?" Frida asked. The Reeve mutant's green and gold eye both lit up in response as she gasped sucking in a lot of air.
"YEEEEEEEESSSS! I'm gonna rock your socks off!" Lizzie happily declared.
X X X
As the music rocked again colors flashing Lizzie pulled back the curtain wearing a silver tiara, glasses, rose red dress with gold metal shoulders with a medal at the base of the collar with a white trim and buttons. With the tassels and frills around the waist being a teal green with a large red dress with a darker pleated middle.
They hummed not really into it. A bit later Lizzie then jumped out wearing a bright pink tank top with a white sporty skirt and sneakers. Leo liked it, the others didn't. Eventually she came out in a pink dress with a black lace bow around her neck and a red jean jacket. Everyone cheered.
"I'm wearing this! It's my favorite!" she declared.
"Well, it's a good thing we're in agreement then!" Leo cheered as everyone else nodded Raph patted Mikey's head as they all looked over at him.
"Alright Angelo you're up." Donnie said chipperly.
"I'm good." Mikey replied. "I really don't want to-"
Five minutes later Mikey came out in black jeans, an open white-collar shirt and a fedora. Everyone shook their heads no. He cheered coming out in a yellow and orange tennis outfit even serving a ball for emphasis. Then he pulled the curtain back with some flair in a black and tie dye jacket and red-rimmed sunglasses and orange jeans and medallion. But he stopped for a moment.
"Wait….Why did I just change?!" He said looking down at himself confused. "What are we even dressing up for?"
Everyone thought for a moment trying to remember. "We were on our- Uh we just walked over uhhhmm…." Raph hummed thoughtfully. "We need clothes?"
"What's wrong with how we normally look?" Mikey asked.
"I think we were going to see a show…" Lizzie hummed holding her head to remember.
X X X
Frida was reading a book on mystic powers. While Mikey and Lizzie watched Donnie and Raph race each other in Mario Kart 8, an older game. But one that would also never be succeeded.
"Raph you're totally cheating!" Donnie snapped when Raph fired off three red shells' into Donnie's character at once.
"That's not cheating!" Raph chuckled before making a grab at Donnie who moved back making him flinch. "This is cheating!"
"Guys, Guys, Guys!" Leo shouted rounding the corner outside from the stairs and rushing in from behind them before kicking away the switch which Lizzie gasped and caught as she gave Leo a disapproving look while Donnie glared at him. "Prepare to be so grateful I'm your brother!" Leo said both spastically and chipperly before pulling out four tickets. "BEHOLD! Six tickets to the wait for it! Wait for it! Magic Town House!" he declared holding them up for them all to see.
"The Magic, what, what?" Raph asked with an arched eyebrow.
"The M.T.H! Magic Town House, is having their annual night of a million secrets! And this year, they're unveiling Houdini's secret journals, for the first time EVER!" he declared his eyes shimmering with the unbridled joy of a child on Christmas morning.
"Sounds interesting honestly. Especially if they've never been seen before." Frida hummed, placing her book down, as she and Raph took their tickers.
"I've never seen Leo this excited to see a book so it must be something. Or it'll be stupid, and we can make fun of him. Either way win, win! Let's get Ready!" Raph declared as everyone jumped up.
X X X
Leo gazed at his ticket in awe the owl head looking back at him. "Of course! I could I forget about the magic town house!"
"We must be getting ready for it?" Raph suggested as he, Donnie and Frida peered over his shoulder.
"This is all wrong." Mikey muttered worriedly. "If we're getting ready for a magic show it must mean…."
"BLACK TIEEEE!" the boys cheered as Lizzie groaned.
With the music starting up again and the turtles bopping to the beat and dancing as they all got on black suits Frida had an open jacket along side Donnie and Leo had a striped tie whereas Raph's was solid red. Mikey and Lizzie had orange and pink bow ties respectively.
"Bow ties are cool!" Lizzie declared quietly.
"Whoo-Whee!" Donnie cheered. "We look good guys! I need to archive this!" Donnie said pulling out his phone as they gathered around him. However, as he did they suddenly saw pictures of them in the suits they were wearing with sequin masquerading masks Leo, Frida and Lizzie's all having feathers. But in their colors. And one of the photos was Mikey pointing at the gift shop.
"That's weird…" Donnie muttered as they all looked at the photos depicting them at an event that Leo immediately recognized.
"Wait! What!? Is that the Magic-How did we? When did we? When did we go to the magic town house!?" Leo asked practically on top of Mikey who was squished under his weight and Donnie who whacked him away with a slipper.
"I don't know I don't even remember taking these!" Donnie gasped.
X X X
Everyone had gathered behind Donnie as he began to take a picture. "Okay guys say…magic is an illusion science is superior!" Donnie said quickly as he pressed the button. "Alright! That's a good one of me!" he said chipperly.
Leo grinned as he began to record everything, and Lizzie was trying to work out what Donnie said meant for them. "If magic is an illusion, how are we here? Do I exist? Does anyone exist? Are we all an illusion!?" Lizzie asked her eyes unfocusing.
"Don't worry, he's referring to stage magic. We're fine." Frida assured with a sweat drop.
"Oh man!" Leo said excitedly, grinning widely. "I can't believe we're here! I've gotta record the grand opening!" he stated as Mikey waved into his phone but behind him was a familiar mutant Hippo mutant in a purple suit and Turbine with a tiny mustache sneaking into a nearby door, wearing his own purple feathery mask.
"Hypno? What's that creep doing sneaking around here?" Raph asked with an arched eyebrow.
"Oh no! You think he's after Houdini's journals?!" Leo gasped.
"Is that bad?" Mikey asked. "I know Hypno's magic, but are the journals?"
Leo gripped his shoulders and pressed his face against his baby brother's. "Does. Not. Matter! Houdini was one of the greatest illusionists in history!" he said letting Mikey go. "If Hypno were to get his hands on those techniques he could warp the very fabric of reality. Or something cooler."
"Or he could make everything grey!" Lizzie cried.
"See she gets it!" Leo declared, pointing at Lizzie.
"Not with the Mad Dogs in the house!" Raph declared. "Come on guys! Let's smash a Hippo in half!" he said as Leo nodded determinedly.
X X X
"Wait we've already gone to the Magic town house? And Hypno was there?" Leo asked confused as he had to sit down.
"And we were saving the world from being grey!" Lizzie cried.
"Emphasis on were….but….how'd we end up here?" Frida hummed thoughtfully, crossing her arms.
"Wait if we were going to fight Hypno-" Mikey began when Donnie jumped in front of him a bit spastically.
"Then we're way to dressed up!" he said before tearing Mikey's suit off of him so quickly he was embrassed as Donnie pulled up a button up shirt. "Business cas, is way more appropriate!"
He said about to do his own montage when Raph whacked him with a slipper. "NO! No one tries on anymore clothes! None of this makes sense what happened to Hypno!?"
Lizzie was back in her favorite outfit lifting a chair to look under it while Mikey in grey shorts and a yellow t-shirt knocked on the wall as Leo held his head with a groan. "Everything's foggy…" he said gripping his head as it hurt.
"Yeah, it's like we all have Raph brain!" Donnie said having changed now wearing an open yellow shirt with a purple scarf draped over his shoulders.
"Come on guys focus! What happened if we went searching for Hypno?!" Raph asked mostly to himself. As he touched the nearby wall trying to think.
Frida hummed as she now wore a black night gown with a pearl necklace. As she held her chin in thought. "If we keep retracing our steps we might remember something else….lets see we followed Hypno and then….."
X X X
Frida was analyzing the walls and floors. Big Mama's Hotel had many secret passageways. But they had left scuff marks on the floor and walls which subtly indicated their presence. She knelt down as Leo knocked on the wall and Raph pressed his hand up against the wall closest to him.
"Man, this place is a maze! Where'd he go!?" Raph groaned as Mikey and Lizzie looked behind pictures and vases. Donnie was looking at his phone not the least bit interested.
"This is the Magic Town house." Leo said as he knocked on a wall and it made a hollow noise which Frida rushed over too and found scuff marks. She began pressing her fingers up against the edges of the wall as Leo grinned looking at it. "I bet he used a secret passage!" Leo said grinning.
"Ah, trickery the science of cowards." Donnie haughtily commented.
Someone quickly rushed past them making everyone nervous. "Uh did you guys hear something?" Mikey asked a bit nervously as a wall nearby opened nearby Leo rushing over like an excited schoolgirl letting out a jubilant cheer.
"WHOOO, I told you!" he said looking into it. "Is this where they keep all the Doves!?" he asked chipperly before looking inside and making a pigeon call. Mikey, Donnie and Lizzie put their heads on top of his to look inside.
"Guys stop goofing around!" Raph said as he and Frida looked at the passageway with their younger siblings only for something to suddenly attack them. They all turned and screamed before things had gone black again.
X X X
Frida groaned pressing the back of her wrist to her head. "Damn it come on what else!" she groaned.
"There isn't anything else! That's when we would've been put in some kind of Hypno trap!" Raph said as he looked at Mikey who pinched himself and yelped.
"Not a dream." The Box turtle whimpered wishing he hadn't done that.
"Hmm magic trap." Leo hummed. "Gotta say love the magic so-so on the trap."
"I didn't know traps could be fun!" Lizzie beamed.
"Okay let's get out of here!" Raph stated. "I bet if we all work together- Donnie, Lizzie would you two focus!"
"Sorry the music took us Raph!" Lizzie declared as she and Donnie were dancing.
"Raph, you know if an eighties jam is on the music is gonna get me!" Donnie added.
"That's it!" Mikey declared. "We're stuck in an eighties movie make over montage!"
"How do we get out!?" Raph groaned scratching the back of his head as Leo held his chin in thought.
"What do they do in the movies?" he asked.
"They find that perfect outfit?" Donnie suggested with a grin. "You know the one I'm talking about! The one that pops and says." He began holding his shirt open more and striking a pose. "'You might've thought of me as some country bumpkin but now with my hair down! I'm awesome!" he declared striking another pose.
"This is all wrong!" Mikey argued. "At the end of all the movies like this the heroes realize it's not about how they look. But it's what's inside that, counts!"
"Oh, so you're saying," Leo began.
"I'm saying we're perfect as we are! EMBRACE THE TURTLE BABY!" Mikey declared pulling off his clothes as he struck a pose with five of his siblings in their usual outfits. He saw Frida hanging back. "Frida! You too!" he declared pointing at her.
"Me?" she asked, as Mikey grabbed her hands.
"Yeah, I know that Big Mama made you feel awful about yourself for years! But she's wrong! You're beautiful and smart! And you rocked all those outfits!"
"Yeah, like a boss!" Raph added.
"You do excellent color coordination." Donnie stated.
"I know what it's like to feel like you'll never be good enough and that how you exist is wrong! But that's not true for anyone!" Mikey added.
"Like Mikey said you're beautiful and you rocked those clothes! Own it!" Leo encouraged.
"We love you for you!" Lizzie added. "But you've gotta love yourself for you too." Lizzie added as Frida turned to a nearby full mirror. For the first time she smiled at herself. For the first time she liked what she saw.
"Yeah…..I think I'm beginning to like me!" She cheered happily, smiling brightly.
"And now cue the heroes breaking the spell!" Mikey declared. "Mind over matter we got this!" but everyone fell back under the spell. All of them dancing to the music, Lizzie showing herself off behind the curtain, so she wouldn't have to change.
The boys began to change outfits again. Raph was in a large leather jacket with a red shirt. Donnie in a white tank top and purple beanie. He also had spike wrist bands and black parachute pants bigger then he was with a ripped top.
And Mikey had changed into a white jacket with a rust-colored rim, neck and elbow pads. Frida had changed into a bright light blue shirt and jeans. Leo had a baseball cap turned backwards on his head, a torn jean vest with a red insignia on it and a navy shirt underneath with jeans.
"What the!?" Raph gasped realizing they were still under the spell.
"I should've known it wouldn't be that easy!" Mikey groaned. "Man, this is some brain fog! My mystic info's all shuffled."
"May hippieocomprius is shuffled." Lizzie muttered a bit, dazed her irises and pupils darting away from each other.
"Hippocampus, and all of ours are." Frida groaned.
"Frida, you got any ideas?" Raph asked.
"I wish…" Frida muttered.
"Here's an idea less talky-talk and more groovy-groove…."Donnie said, as Leo realized something.
"Oh wait!" he gasped turning to where the music was coming from all the turtles gathering around it. They looked at it getting a chill from it as one last memory was breaking through. They could vaguely see Hypno holding the boom box and were suddenly jump-scared by the clear image of Hypno his mouth wide open to use his powers on them.
"EVIL HIPPO!" Lizzie shrieked as they all screamed.
"IT'S THE SPEAKER!" Leo shouted.
"KILL IT WITH SMASH!" they all shouted as they began attacking it. Leo was punching it. Mikey and Frida were kicking it as Donnie let out a battle cry. And Lizzie smacked it with a folded steel chair and Raph an umbrella. Both landed the final hit, and the scene faded away and the turtles were back in their original ninja outfits.
"Yeah, baby we're free!" Mikey cheered. They suddenly heard a scream and rushed into the next room but found no one there.
"That's one loud scream!" Lizzie muttered.
"Or a thin wall. So Hypno must have hidden someone!" Frida deduced.
"HELLLLLPP!" shouted a voice from behind the bookshelf.
"It came from back there!" Raph shouted, pointing an accusatory finger at the bookshelf. "There's no doors just books." He groaned as Mikey looked at it from just below his chin. Frida on the other hand rushed over and examined the floor.
"More scuff marks!" Frida shouted, pulling out her deer horn weapons with powder blue blades and teal handles, that she began charging black and teal energy into them to cut open the wall. But Leo grabbed her wrist.
"Ah baba! This is the Magic Town house! No need for blasting or cutting when we can just find the secret doorway which this is wonderful place is full of! Watch and learn my dear sister!" he declared as Frida gave him a skeptical look. Leo then immediately grabbed a nearby book.
"Volia!" he declared as it came clean off the shelf from the strength of his yank. He had a nervous confused look as the book hit the floor. Donnie just stared at him and pulled a statue that pulled back like a lever.
Leo cheered when the bookshelf moved from it's usual place. As he beamed smiling into the darkness before giving a side glare to Donnie.
"I don't care that you're trying to steal my moment." Leo grumbled at his twin. "THIS PLACE STILL RULES!" he declared bouncing up and down before curling up into a ball and spin dashing down the stairs ala Sonic the Hedgehog.
Everyone else following as they made it down and found a trio of human magicians Leo recognizing a man with grey hair.
"That's John the Kaiser! He invented the Pinkie shuffle!" Leo declared.
"Hello, is someone there! Help us!" John cried as Leo rushed over, a bit nervous.
"Sir John!" Leo said humbly. "Huge fan Can I get a selfie?" he asked pulling out his phone and putting his arm around Sir John who smiled as Leo aimed the phone.
"Leo stop!" Raph shouted slapping the phone from his hand. "We've gotta find Hypno!"
"We got time!" Leo protested.
"Not really," Frida muttered.
"If you're talking about that thug that smelt of water beast and amateur magician." Sir Kaiser growled rolling his eyes under his blindfold before continuing. "He went into that secret vault!"
"We've gotta get into that vault!" Raph declared.
"What do we have to pull!?" Lizzie declared determinedly.
"The Vault is actually opened with a password, patters-" Kaiser began when Leo began yelling and covering his ears.
"Don't tell me I don't want to know!" he shouted even closing his eyes as John spoke the password. Immediately the stone doorway opened with a cloud of dust kicked up from the motion as everyone looked down into it.
"Okay sibs, let's proceed with caution!" Raph declared.
"Yes! I'll go first!" Leo declared swan diving into the hole. "GERANAMMO!"
"LEO!" Raph shouted as he and everyone else jumped in after him caution be damned and then the door closed after them. The Magicians left as they were found.
"Did they just leave us here?" Kaiser asked rhetorically.
X X X
Leo landed on his feet glaring at the sight before him as everyone else landed in a tower they quickly had to undo and stand beside their brother in battle stances as Leo pointed at Hypno, rummaging through the vault.
"There he is!" Leo growled pointing an accusatory finger of his own at the Hippo Mutant.
"Oh! Wellington Sunday!" Hypno growled.
"Hypno!" Raph shouted. "Step away from those dairies!"
"Ahh they're journals!" Leo corrected.
"Whatever!" Raph muttered.
"I was so close!" Hypno groaned. "How did you get out of my ingenious fashion trap? Did you learn the power of self-love in order to break free!?"
"Yeah, but your traps' not Disney. So that didn't work." Frida replied with a smirk.
"So, then we used the Power of Smashing!" Raph declared brightly.
"I smashed your speaker with a steel chair! It was fun!" Lizzie chipperly told him with a smile.
"Gotta say your trap has really good taste in music. And smart to not include Disney elements with what you and Frida said in mind." Donnie replied as Leo glared at their foe.
"GET YOUR THICK DIDGITS OFF THOSE PRECIOUS JOURNALS!" Leo demanded, pointing aggressively at Hypno again moving so spastically one of his mask tails had flopped over his face.
The Mutant Magician smirked in response to that. Holding one of Houdini's journals in his hand. "Oh….you mean the journals that give me the power to bend reality!" he said making the book open to a page he wanted as his grin turned more sinister. "I don't think so!"
"SOIZELHOLESEN!"
Immediately the world warped and changed to an even crazier magic house with many doors bright colors and stars. The floor now made of panels as Hypno waved escaping as the one he was standing on flipped over making him disappear.
"Another secret door!" Leo cheered.
"What is it with magicians and their hatred of normal doors! COME ON!" Raph growled. Frida and Donie worked to try and open the panel Hypno disappeared behind as Leo, Raph and Mikey knocked on it. But immediately it opened and spun them down below. They groaned pulling themselves up from the pile when they saw Hypno appear from behind a thin column and run down the hall.
The turtles colored mostly in their signature colors followed racing after him down a hall of mirrors. Immediately they found that there were six mirrors. They were back to their normal set of colors.
At the end of the hallway, they were met with a set of six now larger Hypnos in each of them. Lizzie and the boys screamed as they all clung to Raph. Frida putting herself between them and Hypno looking very disturbed. The Mirrors lifted up revealing they hadn't grown larger at all.
Immediately they took off running. Each one taking off as the turtle split up. Raph chased the one in the middle with a bunch of colorful wavy mirrors. This Hypno suddenly opened one of Houdini's journals holding her turban as he read from it.
"Castorena!" he shouted glancing back at Raph. A bunch of cards rushed at him that he had stabbed and knocked away with his Sai. Only for a large one to pull him inside of himself. Now Raph had another him in a king outfit where his legs should be that immediately attacked him.
This evil Raph had landed a couple of hits on him. Before Raph growled in annoyance and pummeled his copy with his power punch as the Hypno he was chasing fled.
Raph, using his arms to rush after Hypno. He resumed the chase and pounced on Hypno.
X X X
Donnie meanwhile was chasing his Hypno down a hall of many hypno portraits of tones and colors one of which put his arm out making the poor soft shell trip.
"Vasilarios!" Hypno shouted as Donie groaned and had to immediately use mystic guns to protect himself from a barrage of magic blasts from the many portraits surrounding him as Donnie screamed.
X X X
Frida had begun chasing Hypno who suddenly had a moped which he did a pop-wheelie on passing a grey hall with a black and white diamond and triangle patterned floor. With a pink and blue Hypno portrait with one side shadowed. And a smaller painting that had four of Hypno's head in each square drawn and colored with different colors.
Frida raced after him down the hall her arms back behind her as she summoned spikes of energy that Hypno dodged around as they both raced by a picture of Hypno as the Mona Lisa and a one of him as an abstract painting before Hypno drove his scooter up a flight of stairs that Frida raced after and was actually beginning to catch up as the staircase spiraled. The wall now spiraling with Hypno's colors as he pulled out another Journal.
"Teentitslid!" he shouted as Frida began sliding back down the other way and turned to see the stairs form a chomping mouth. She screamed and used her deer horn knives to stab into and climb up the slide to the top and reach a door that Hypno had already gone through as a shiver went through her.
X X X
Mikey had chased Hypno into a room with many chests and wardrobes. One of which he tripped and fell out of. As Hypno popped out of the chest in the middle of the room.
"Delligannis!" Hypno declared before disappearing into it and reappearing in another chest by the wardrobe Mikey fell out of and rushing into one that Mikey raced towards and pulled on the doors of but they weren't budging. Hypno reappeared behind him. Mikey immediately raced over jumping over the box and opening it. But Hypno was gone then reappeared from a chest beside him to hit him with a sucker punch that made Mikey dizzy as Hypno escaped. Mikey opened the chest he had just been in only to be blasted with a barrage of doves and feathers that were crammed in his mouth when it stopped as he spat them out. He was then hit by Pizza Pigeon now much fater!
X X X
Lizzie swam after Hypno, who was leisurely flying on a magic carpet. Letting his hand fly through the star dust as Lizzie raced as fast as she could after him. She even began hopping from rock to rock.
"I'm gonna get ya!" she shouted as Hypno pulled out a book.
"Hoshiabara!" Hypno shouted as Lizzie was suddenly hit by a shooting star. She was dazed and sprawled out over it as it crashed into a nearby copy of planet earth and exploded.
X X X
Leo was watching Hypno show off a magic trick of him sawing himself in half which he watched with popcorn. Suddenly his siblings were around him glaring down at him. Raph was battered with his outfit torn. Donnie had his head in a Hypno portrait. Frida was covered in sweat and Mikey in feathers with a black eye. Then there was Lizzie who was charred and smoking from the explosion as Leo grinned sheepishly at them leading to Raph to hit him upside the head.
Immediately they all raced off towards the stage as Hypno saw this and fled the man inside sticking his head out as they all passed him. All of them in their colors as Hypno pulled up the exit door and rushed under it as Raph punched it clean down. They all kept close to each other as they scanned the room.
Raph screamed and punched a bust of a woman with long hair and a top hat when it turned to look at him. Leo gasped and caught it. "What are you doing that was Venus De Magic! The Queen of quick change!" he scolded glaring at Raph.
"Sorry! Uhh Miss quick change!" Raph said scratching the back of his head as Hypno watched them from behind a secret door as Frida was back to examining base boards. He snuck out and raised his razor rings to struck Raph when suddenly….
"HOLD ON!" he shouted. "I just realized I'm not in the right outfit to fight you guys! The whole thing clashes!" he said with a bow. "Apologies!"
" I like your style baby! You gotta believe! I think you're wild baby just like me! Your such a star baby, make a wish on you!"
Now Hypno was tapping his feet to eighties make over music as he slicked his hair back and looked sexily at the camera before presenting himself in a suave blue suit with a red tie and gold clip. Then tried a rockstar outfit that was blue, orange and red before switching to an Indiana Jones outfit which he cracked the whip of.
Hypno then tried on a pink pin stripe suit with a white suit pants and vest and struck several poses unaware that he was now under his own spell. The turtles watching him as he danced disco to the tune.
"Nice thinking Donnie!" Raph said turning to his brother that had a speaker coming out of his battle shell playing the song.
"Wait!" Mikey asked, peeking out from his purple clad brother's side rubbing his chin. "How do you have a copy of his spell?"
"I record everything." Donnie replied simply.
"WHAT?!" Leo asked, turning around with Lizzie, who's jaw dropped at Donnie as Leo looked warily at his twin with a wide arched brow. "What else do you have recorded?" he asked nervously.
"Ehhh don't worry about it." Donnie replied simply as Raph, Frida and Mikey looked at each other. The box turtle's eye seemed to twitch as he slowly pulled his head into his shell blushing profusely. The tiniest of squeaks escaping his lips.
"Should….we….." Frida began when Raph cut her off Mikey now fully in his shell from embarrassment.
"No, we're not! Okay let's return those journals!" Raph declared rigidly. "You got them right Leo!"
"Yes!" Leo said smiling stiffly with all of Houdini's Journals stuffed all throughout his shell. "Safe and sound already in the vault let's go home!" He said shuffling off back and forth like a wooden doll trying to walk.
"Leo….what are you doing?" Raph growled suspiciously as Lizzie, Frida holding the still squeaking Mikey in his shell and Donnie setting it up for the Hidden City Police or Warren whoever first to find Hypno as he left the speaker behind.
"I wasn't gonna read them! I just wanted to keep them and maybe snuggle them a little bit!" Leo protested.
"WHY THAT WORD?!" Mikey shrieked in embarrassment as they left the Magic Town house.

Static crackled and groaned as Casey appeared on the ground unconscious. He suddenly heard sounds and sensed smells he never had before. He sat up and looked around. He was suddenly surrounded by people all on their phones or walking around and talking to each other.
"Where…." He muttered looking around to see the large screen in what Master Leonardo had described as Times Square. "I made it!" he gasped in awe before focusing. "Alright Casey here we go! Find the Key stop the Krang!" he declared racing through the streets into the night.
From the next chapter on Casey Sr. will be referred to as Cass going forward. The Characters will be a little bit behind but should separate them as such as well by the end of the next chapter.
