50. The Unconvincing Turtle Titan Part 4

Author's note: So sorry for taking so long to finish this new chapter. With all the action packed in one chapter along with the extended fight scenes, it became longer that what I originally intended, while I had to removed some stuff so that it won't became too long. I've been a bit busy with my own busy stuff between December and January, and these kind of chapters pretty much require time, patience, a lot of imagination and writing and enthusiasm. However, here goes the last chapter of THE UNCONVINCING TURTLE TITAN saga, and then I'll start with my first original saga based on one of my OC characters. ENJOY!

= THE UNCONVINCING TURTLE TITAN. PART 4=

After some time of running and hopping along the rooftops and swinging across the gaps between the buildings by the grappling hooks and ropes, Mikey and Arcee finally managed to catch the sight of Silver Sentry flying over the rooftops and heading towards the Manhattan Bridge. The two turtles quickly rushed after him, despite the facts that the superhero had a quite head start and that he was flying pretty high and pretty fast, making it difficult to keep up with him, but it still suited well for the turtles in orange and pink, as they could follow him undetected.

Mikey and Arcee kept following him until they reached to the edge of the East River at the Brooklyn Bridge. However, the turtles in orange and pink were forced to watch from one of the rooftops as Silver Sentry flew right across the river and towards Dr. Malignus' hideout, before he dived down to burst through the roof of the warehouse and vanished from the turtles' sight.

"Man! What I wouldn't give for a Turtle Plane right about now." Mikey complained.

"Or for the couple of those Donnie's Turtle Glider bags." Arcee added.

The two turtles then turned to look at the Brooklyn Bridge, their only way to get across to the other side of the river.

Mikey let out the sigh, knowing that well what this situation meant. "Well, guess we'll just have to get across the old-fashioned way."

"You mean hitching the ride across the bridge on top of some truck, or going across through the high ground?" Arcee asked, pointing at the bridge's poles and towers.

"C'mon, Turtle Sis Titan! You know what getting across the old-fashioned way means." Mikey said.

Arcee let out the sigh. "I do, but I don't like it." the turtle in pink groaned.

###

Later, Mikey and Arcee were running across the bridge through the sidewalk, while the traffic sped past them to both directions.

"Yep!" Mikey said, breathing heavily. "Definitely needed a Turtle Mobile!"

"Geez, you think!" Arcee panted. "That opportunity went already hours ago! Besides, would've just been a lot of easier to hitch the ride across the bridge on top of some of those trucks instead of running across the bridge through of the sidewalk! I kinda feel like too exposed in here!"

"Well, we're almost at the other side!" Mikey panted, as the two kept running.

1 hour later.

After crossing the bridge, the turtles made their way to the warehouse they had seen Silver Sentry diving in.

"Well, at least we know which warehouse it is." Arcee said as they got near of the said building. "So how do we proceed, Turtle Titan? Shall we burst through the door? Crash through the window?"

"No. I'd say we rely on the stealth and the element of surprise in this one." Mikey said, as he looked at the warehouse.

"You serious?" Arcee asked with the small scoffing laughter. "This place is deserted and I don't see any security system here. Besides, wanna bet that Sentry probably got Malignus already before we even got here?"

"Or maybe not. Super villains are usually too tough to get that easily caught." Mikey said, looking cautiously around. "Besides, don't you see how quiet it is around here?"

Taken aback by this, Arcee looked around of them before putting her hand next to his ear hole in attempt to catch some noises... beside of the distant sound of the traffic coming from the bridge. And after a moment of trying to detect some form of sounds, the turtle in pink came to realize that Mikey had the point.

"Yeah, you're right. Turtle Titan. It's awfully quiet in here. I can't even hear the sounds of the fighting from inside the warehouse." Arcee said, turning back to Mikey.

"Exactly." Mikey said seriously with the nod.

Both turtles then looked up at the edge of the warehouse's rooftop.

"And even though I can't see any security systems either, that doesn't mean that Malignus won't possibly be prepared for more unwelcomed visitors. He might be expecting us to come in through the doors and windows and thus has set up who knows what for us. So we better get inside quietly through the same way Silver Sentry went in." Mikey said.

"By going through the hole Sentry made in the rooftop, you're expecting that we could sneak behind of Malignus' back and get him by surprise him when he least expects that?" Arcee said, getting the clue of Mikey's plan.

"Yeah. That's right." Mikey nodded.

Arcee let out rather worried sigh as she looked at the warehouse that was harboring inside this crazy villain they haven't ever met before and thus don't know him. The whole situation reminded her awfully lot of their first encounter with the Shredder when they fought him directly for the first time without even knowing his power, and underastimating that metal-clad fiend had nearly costed them their lives.

"I don't like this, Turtle Titan. That'll be risky plan." Arcee said nervously.

"I know it's rather risky one, but right now we got no time to think the alternate plan." Mikey said, as he took the grappling hook and the rope off his belt. "C'mon! Let's go!"

Swallowing her nervousness with the deep breath in and out, Arcee nodded to her little brother and took out her own grappling hook and rope off her belt. Both turtles then spun around the grappling hooks for a moment before throwing them up to the rooftop, where the hooks got attached to the edge of the roof. After making sure the hooks were firmly stuck, the two turtles then started to climb along the wall to the roof.

However, on their way up, Mikey accidentally hit himself repeatedly in the head with his turtle-shell, causing him to let out the pained groans.

"(BANG!) Ow! (BANG!) Ahh! (BANG!) Ouch! (BANG!) Ow! (BANG!) Agh!"

"SHHH!" Arcee hussed quietly. "Quiet, Turtle Titan! Didn't you say that we were supposed to use stealth to get in?!"

"(BANG!) Agh! I know! It's just... (BANG!) Ow! It's just that shield that keeps... (BANG!) Ahh! Hitting me."

"Maybe next time you should take the shield you can carry in your shell instead in your arm, you know." Arcee whispered as she kept climbing.

"(BANG!) Ow! Note taken, Turtle Sis Titan. (BANG!) Ouch! Next time, I'll rethink the shield. (BANG!) Ow! Aww!"

Once the two turtles had got onto the roof, they quickly rushed to the hole Silver Sentry had left. The two precautiously peered inside the building for a moment, but didn't notice any possible danger. So they threw the ropes through the hole and started to slid down on them into the warehouse.

Once their feet hit the floor, both turtles in orange and pink looked around of them, but they saw nothing but darkness that surrounded them from all sides.

"At least the coast is clear so far." Arcee whispered quietly.

Mikey nodded, before he tugged on the rope, making the other end of it and the grappling hook falling down through the hole, though Mikey caught it from the air before it could've hit him in the head - again - while still looking warily around of them. Arcee repeated the same thing with her own rope and grappling hook.

The two turtles then put the hooks and ropes back onto their belts, before they walked into the darkness.

"Why am I getting this awfully familiar feeling that we may have walked straight into a trap?" Arcee asked quietly from Mikey, remembering well what had happened the last time in Stocktronics they had walked into the dark quiet room.

Mikey felt that familiar feeling too as he looked around into the darkness.

"Well, only one way to find that out." Mikey said.

"You mean... the chance in plans?" Arcee asked as she turned to her brother."

"Change in plans." Mikey said with the nod.

"Aw! I knew you were gonna say that." the turtle in pink groaned with the shrug.

Mikey then cleared his throat first before speaking out loud.

"HELLOOOOOOOO?! Any nefarious twisted evil-doers in the house?" Mikey called.

Suddenly, a bright spotlight flashed on, pointing at the turtles in orange and pink from behind of their shells, catching the two by surprise.

"Just the one." the raspy voice said from behind.

Mikey and Arcee then turned around before almost immediately lifting up their arms to block the spotlight, until the lights soon vanished. Mikey and Arcee then looked up to the high blue platform in front of them, seeing Dr. Malignus standing on top of it, with several red wires attached to his high-tech armored body and surrounded by the several monitors.

"Dr. Malignus, I presume." Mikey guessed confidently.

Arcee, however, cringed at the rather grotesque appearance of the villain. "Shees! Not offense here, mister, but you sure can't be praised for the appearance."

"None taken, my dear." Malignus calmly assured. "Now pardon me, my dear guests, but I'm afraid I haven't had the pleasure to meet you two before. Who are you, if may I ask?"

"My name is Turtle Titan! And this is Turtle Sis Titan!" Mikey said, introducing both him and Arcee to the villain with their superhero names.

"We've heard you've developed the hobby to mess up with the innocent people's minds across New York City. Well, that's gonna stop right here, tonight!" Arcee said confidently.

"But first of before we start the official showdown, you fiend... What have you done with Silver Sentry?!" Mikey demanded.

"So, you two have met Silver Sentry, eh?" Malignus smirked under his helmet's mask, before he waved to his right with his hand. "Why he is right there."

Mikey and Arcee turned to look to their left, and noticed Silver Sentry hovering in the shadows.

"Silver Sentry!" Arcee fasped with relief.

However, the turtle in pink's relief slowly melted away, which was quickly replaced with the confusion. Somehow Arcee managed to sense that something here wasn't right.

"There you are! You had us worried for the sec." Mikey said, sensing nothing suspicious, before he started to casually walk towards him.

"What happened, Sentry? Why haven't you caught this ugly fiend already?" Mikey asked.

Malignus then let out an evil chuckle, which caught Arcee's attention.

"This why." he sneered, before he stretched his into fists squeezed hands forward.

Suspecting the worse after seeing this, Arcee quickly turned her attention back to Silver Sentry, just before the superhero suddenly launched himself from the shadows and dived towards Mikey, both arms straight out in front of him, fists clenched, just like Malignus's own.

"TURTLE TITAN, LOOK OUT!" Arcee tried to warn her brother.

Although Mikey did stop when he saw the Silver Sentry flying towards him, he was so confused by the superhero's sudden behavior that he couldn't react to it in time before the Sentry's fists hit him in the chest, sending him flying into the opposite wall.

"WHOAAAA!" Mikey yelled, before he hit shell-first against the wall, leaving the dent in it, before he fell onto his chest to the ground.

"MIKEY!" Arcee gasped in shock.

However, the looming shadow behind her caught the turtle in pink's attention and she turned around to see Silver Sentry standing right in front of her in his usual superhero pose, though glaring maliciously down on her.

Arcee's eyes went wide, though not from fear but rather from the shock when she managed to get the glance at Silver Sentry's eyes... which were glowing malicious yellow just like all the other people Malignus had brainwashed with his red mechanical beetles.

"No way..." Arcee said in despairing whisper.

Suddenly, Silver Sentry raised his right hand up and brought it down on Arcee to strike her, but the turtle in pink reacted quickly and brought her own arms up and into X, blocking the superhero's attack. However, she let a surprised moan out of her mouth as the Sentry's arm hit her own crossed arms with what felt like two or even five ton force or something, thus flattening her arms against each other and pressing them down easily, leaving them only the inches away from Arcee's face, and finally forcing the turtle in pink to drop onto one knee to the ground. Arcee let out a strained groan through of her gritted teeth as she tried her best to push Sentry's arm back, but it didn't budge. It felt like she was carrying piled weights equal to the weight of an elephant on her crossed arms.

Silver Sentry then pulled his free arm backwards before he squeezed his hand into a fist, cracking his knuckles from the strain of the squeeze, before he swung it towards Arcee with the uppercut punch, which hit the turtle in pink in the chest. The superhero's uppercut sent Arcee effortlessly to fly off her spot, until she hit hard against the closest support beam with such of force that the beam broke from the middle.

"Ouch!" Arcee moaned, before she fell onto her chest to the ground.

Malignus cackled evilly from his platform. "Whoops! Did I forgot to mention he's completely under my control?" the villain questioned mockingly.

"You didn't..." Mikey said as the horrible realization dawned to him, though he desperately hoped that he was wrong.

"He did." Arcee said, sadly confirming Mikey's suspicions. "You managed to brainwash him too, didn't you?" the turtle in pink questioned the villain.

"Oh, yes, my dear." Malignus said, as he grabbed to one of his monitors and turned it towards the turtles, showing the close-up picture of one of his mechanical mond control beetles attached on the back of Silver Sentry's neck, much to Mikey's and Arcee's despair.

"You see, my long time nemesis, Silver Sentry, has now become my slave to do all my villainous bidding. Your hero is now powerless to stop himself from becoming the very thing he despises the most, a super villain!" Malignus explained boastfully, before further demonstrating his point by rubbing his fingers together in super villain style, with Sentry following his motions like the puppet.

"A perfect jewel, for my very own personal army!" Malignus boasted.

"Your own personal army?" Arcee questioned. "What army?"

"This one!" Malignus sneered as he spread his arms up. "Come forward, my beautiful puppets! Show these fools the TRUE POWER of DR. MALIGNUS!"

Mikey and Arcee then looked around in alarm, expecting for the obvious attack by Malignus' minions - who or whatever they were - from within any shadow, from behind of any corner, from above and from behind them. At first, they did not see anyone else beside Sentry, until Arcee caught the approaching sound.

"Um, what is that noise?" Arcee asked while nervously looking around.

It sounded like... as if something metallic was being dragged against the ground, making it rub against floor and thus making such of metallic rubbing noise.(1)

Then, a lone guy who looked like the fireman, walked slowly like the zombie from behind of some piled crates. His with the firehelmet covered head was hanging lazily on his shoulders and his arms were hanging limply against his sides, though he was lazily dragging the fireaxe with him... thus causing it to rub against the floor.(1)

The fireman then slowly lifted his head up, revealing his eyes which were glowing yellow, just like Silver Sentry's. The fireman scowled at the turtles maliciously from under his helmet and angrily gritted his teeth, before he lifted his axe up and took it in both hands.(1)

Arcee gulped nervously, knowing that the guy with the glowing yellow eyes and the fireaxe in his arms won't be a good thing.

"Just the one guy?" Mikey questioned with the shrug, not really viewing one brainwashed zombie as a major threat.

However, from behind of Malignus's platform and Sentry's back stepped out a woman witn unkept black hair, who looked like the nurse due to her hospital-like clothing. Her eyes were glowing too and she was already staring at the turtles with the angry scowl, baring her gritted teeth from behind of her lips. Though she apparently had no weapon in her hands unlike the fireman who had his fireaxe, she was still holding her hands up while robotically opening and closing her fingers like crab with its pincers, ready to grab on the turtles.(1)

From other side of Malignus's platform appeared another guy who looked like the construction worker dressed in the orange work shirt with backwards pulled sleeves, blue construction work pants with straps, red-yellow work vest and blue helmet. He too has his eyes glowing yellow and he was wearing the sledge hammer in his hands, while from behind of another support beam came the man with the clean haircut and who was dressed in the black business suit and holding the black briefcase in his hand, his eyes were glowing yellow too just like the city worker's own and both of them were glaring at the turtles menacingly.

More of the brainwashed people then started to come from all sides of the warehouse, either one by one or in the small groups, gathering around of Malignus' platform.(1)

Amongst of the first ones to come out were couple brainwashed police officers with the menacing looks on their faces. One of them was holding the handgun in his hands while the other one clicked the police shotgun, loading it.

Some homeless hobo in the worn and torn brown jacket, white shirt and green pants and he had quite filthy and messy beard and hair. As he was glaring at the turtles menacily while holding a shovel in his hands, he bared gritted teeth, showing one tooth missing from his mouth.

The cook with the french origin due to his french-stylish long mustache. He was holding in his right hand a quite big kitchen knife and in his other hand a pretty large cleaver.

The pizza delivery boy in a blue and red shirt and blue cap, who was holding the chain in his hand as a weapon. Mikey and Arcee took a closer look at the pizza delivery boy and then looked shocked, or at least Mikey did, like they knew him somehow.(2)

"Wait a second... is that Kevin?" Arcee asked, as she pointed at the the pizza delivery boy named Kevin.(2)

Mikey let out a half-dramatic and half-horrified gasp at the sight of Kevin being one of Malignus' brainwashed minions. "NOT HIM! NOT THE PIZZA GUY! YOU MONSTER!" the turtle in orange cried out.(2)

Among Malignus' minions was also the postman with the brown mail bag in the hand, as he did not appear to have any other weapon in hand.

Some quite overweight guy with dark brown muttonchops and who was dressed into the white shirt and black pants. He looked to be the owner of some hot dog stand as he was wearing the red apron, in which was reading "Stewie's Hod Dogs" and red cap on his head. And as his weapon, he was wielding meat mallet in his right hand and the butcher knife in his left.

Some elder sailor with noticeably squinty eye, weathered face and white hair and a beard. He was wearing a sea captain's hat on his head and was dressed into a green sweater, a blue pea soup jacket, brown pants and black rubber boots. Just like the hobo, he too was missing a tooth or two from his mouth while gritting them angrily and he was holding in his hands the spear gun as a weapon.

The reverend of the some local church of New York, dressed up in the white church robe. He was using as his weapon a wooden leg torn off from a chair.

The female street musician with a blonde hair in a ponytail with a blue headband while wearing a red country shirt with blue jeans and and pink/white boots. She was holding her quitar up as if it was the melee weapon.

A plumber, a big and muscular black-haired guy in the white shirt and strapped blue working pants, who was holding two large wrenches in his hands as his weapons.

A couple groundskeepers, one of which was holding a rake in his hands while other one was holding up the red weed whacker that was turned on.

The bulky and overweight garbage man with the dark-toned turquoise strapped pants, white shirt with the pushed-back sleeves, sunglasses and the hat. This guy was holding the lid of the trash can like the shield while holding the large baseball bat as a melee weapon. The bat looked like it was picked from some dump, as it was dirty and battered and with the few notches. The barbed wire had been wrapped around of the bat and it had several dirty nails stuck in it.

Slightly hunchbacked guy with the shaven face and dark brown hair that peeked from under of the dark-purple knit cap he was wearing on his head, and he was dressed up into a grayish-green trench coat, reddish brown shirt and blue pants. He was possibly some common burglar due to carrying the crowbar in his hands.

A limo driver in a shiny black/dark-blue suit.

Three guys, two males (one bald and one dark-blond-haired) and one women (brunette- and curly-haired african-american), who looked like the workers from some mental asylum due to their white and turquoise asylum outfits. While two of them were not bearing weapons, the bald man was carrying the large net in his hands.

Another three guys, one of which was short but slender brown-haired guy while the second guy was quite tall, balding and noticeably broad-shouldered and the third and last guy was slightly overweight and he had glasses and balding top of the head. These guys were dressed in the greenish-brown outfits and caps and were wearing the badges on their shirts, in which was also reading "Animal control", implying that these two were animal control workers. The slender shortie was carrying the snare pole in his hands, tall guy was carrying the large net pole and the overweight guy was carrying both cattle prod and the net gun in his hands.

A news reporter with the white haircut and reddish-brown suit along with the cameraman. The reporter was holding up his mick as his weapon, while the cameraman was holding up the camera by its stands, wielding it as a weapon.

There was also a woman with brown shoulder-length hair with two strands, glasses on her eyes, a thin blue jacket with a light green undershirt, a royal blue skirt, and dark green slip-on shoes, looking like the teacher from some school, while another elder-looking gray-haired guy with them, who was wearing the blue cap and checkered blue-white shirt and the key around his neck, looked like the school bus driver.

And dozens and again dozens of other brainwashed zombie-like civilians and professionals, counting their number to over two hundred or maybe even more.

"Ooooh! This army." Arcee said as the realization dawned to her before her eyes.

"Oh, yes." Malignus sneered. "I see that you two have already got the clue of everything. Good. I wanted to get to test the might of my army already, especially its jewel puppet."

Mikey and Arcee gulped nervously, as if they already knew what the villain was meaning.

"And now, as your first villainous task, my super puppet, KILL TURTLE TITAN!" Malignus ordered as he raised his hands up.

Silver Sentry mindlessly followed Malignus' motions by raising his own hands up too and walked menacingly towards Mikey, before the mind controlled superhero grabbed the turtle in orange by his arms.

"ARGH!" Mikey groaned in pain, as Silver Sentry's superhuman iron grip happened to be so rough that it made him cringe in pain, and too strong that he couldn't neither move his arms a one bit nor to get himself free from the superhero's grasp on his own.

Malignus cackled evilly as he raised his hands over his head, making Silver Sentry to raise Mikey over his head as well.

"MIKEY!" Arcee gasped and rushed to help her brother.

However, this act didn't go unnoticed by Malignus.

"Don't you worry, my dear. I got enough of playmates for you too." Malignus sneered, before he looked down to his army of mind controlled people. "My delightful puppets, rip the Turtle Sis Titan apart!"

Before Arcee could reach to Mikey and brainwashed Silver Sentry, Malignus' mindless minions quickly responded to Malignus' order by mobbing up in front of the turtle in pink, blocking her way to her brother and preventing her from intervering. And if that wasn't enough, they all began walking robotically towards the turtle in pink as one front, all menacingly glowing and angrily staring eyes fixed on her, forcing Arcee to retreat towards the wall.

"This is not good." Arcee gulped as she looked around of her, seeing herself getting slowly surrounded and cornered by Malignus' minions.

With Arcee being busy with his army, Malignus turned back to Silver Sentry and Mikey, who waved his legs helplessly in the air

"Silver Sentry! Can you hear me?! I know you're still in there!" Mikey said, desperately trying to reason with the brainwashed superhero. "You have to fight it! You don't really want to hurt me!"

"That's the beauty of my plan." Malignus said smugly. "He doesn't want to hurt you, but he can't stop himself."

"Wait!" Arcee called as she was cornered against the warehouse's wall by Malignus' zombie army. "You mean that these people know what is going on around here, but they can't help with themselves?! But those other people in the city... they had not the clue what was going on after being freed from the control of your bugs!"

"These people here, like the selected ones in town, were merely a test subjects for the first variant of my mind control bugs. After getting one on their necks, their minds goes immediately blank, wiping out all their awareness and consciousness, except their basic instincts to follow the certain commands... coming directly from me. Meaning that they have no idea what they're doing under my control and no memory of it afterwards. However, the bug I planted on Silver Sentry is the second variant, only improved. This one won't completely wipe out the victim's awareness or consciousness, but instead it removes entirely all of the victim's free thinking and the function based on them." Malignus explained.

"So in other words, you want Silver Sentry to know what he is doing against his own free will? To make him tarnish his own reputation as a beloved superhero as a way to humiliate him?" Arcee deduced.

"Exactly." Malignus sadistically confirmed. "There ain't no better way to turn the most famous and well-liked number one super hero of the town... into most hated and despised man of the town and the public enemy number one. I find it gratifying to see him suffering from the loss of his career and reputation in the eyes of the public while helplessly doing whatever villainous deeds I'll bid him to do."

Malignus let out another evil laughter as Mikey turned from Sentry to the villain. The turtle in orange was filled by fury upon learning Malignus' plans to destroy Silver Sentry's reputation as a superhero and to humiliate him by forcing him to do villainous deeds to his bidding.

"Then it's up to us to stop him!" Mikey said determinately.

"Yes! The Turtle Titan Duo will stop you in here, Malignus!" Arcee said with firm determination, before the turtle in pink readied herself to fight against Malignus' brainwashed minions.

"Be welcome to try." Malignus mockingly said, before he swung his hands forward like throwing something away.

Silver Sentry followed his motions again, throwing Mikey away and towards the roof supports. However, Mikey managed to grab from the pipe and swung himself around of it twice, before he managed to land on his feet to the pipe.

"Wow! Ah!" Mikey moaned, slightly dizzy from the ordeal.

As Malignus' zombie minions kept approaching Arcee, the turtle in pink drew out her Tessens and opened them wide.

Knowing that these people were only like this because of Malignus' mind control bugs on the backs of their necks, Arcee went through in her head the various ways how she could do this, as there were too many brainwashed people for her to fight them all off all by herself and she did not really want to use the brute force and even less violence on these enslaved innocent people.

However, she did remember how all those other mind controlled people earlier tonight had reacted immediately once the bugs were removed and their minds freed: flying right into a confused panic. It would be a bad time and place for them to fly into such a state here, since she couldn't focus on trying to calm them down and simultaneously fight the overwhelming number of brainwashed people.

Besides, who knows if Malignus would give his minions the one particular order "no witnesses", meaning that those who were still brainwashed could turn on those ones already freed and kill them to cover up Malignus' plans, even if they, according to the villain, aren't even aware what is going on here.

The turtle in pink let out the frustrated sigh to the fact that there was no other choice but to rely on the brute force and violence - at least to some degree - in order to both fight, free and protect these people.

"Sorry for this, guys. But this is only for your own good!" Arcee apologized sincerely.

The fireman attacked first by raising his axe up and then swung it towards Arcee, but the turtle in pink dodged under the swing before she moved behind the fireman's back and pushed him away, knocking him into the businessman and causing them both to fall over. The construction worker then came forward and swung his sledge hammer at her, but Arcee moved out of its way to her right, causing the construction worker to miss and hit the nearby support beam instead. However, this left the opening for the cook, who attacked to strike Arcee in the head with his cleaver and then swung his kitchen knife at Arcee's chest.

"WOW!" Arcee yelped as she leaned her head backwards to avoid getting her head cleaved, until... "AGH!" she shrieked in shock when the cook's kitchen knife slashed her in the chest, cutting through of her superhero costume. Out of instincts, Arcee spun herself around and spin-kicked the cook hard in the head with her right foot, causing him to fly flat on his back to the floor, knocking him out cold.

"Sorry for that, pal!" Arcee apologized in near panicked state for nearly getting gut by the cook and for kicking him in the head so hard by her instincts.

The construction worker then resumed his attack and swung his hammer at her again, but Arcee ducked her head under it again, before the turtle in pink struck him in the stomach with her left fist. Though the worker didn't let out the gasp in pain, the strike was still enough to make him bend over, so Arcee somersaulted onto her hands in front of the worker before pushing herself upwards, kicking with both feet in the worker's chest and sending him flying away.

Afterwards the fireman and the businessman attacked her again from her right. The fireman tried to bring his axe down on Arcee, but the turtle in pink swung her right Tessen upwards and cut the blade off the rest of the handle, before she spun around and swept the fireman's leg's off from under with her left foot, causing him to fall over. Afterwards, the businessman came forward and tried to whack her with his briefcase, but Arcee sent the slash at it with her left Tessen, cutting the briefcase off the handle, disarming the man before she struck him in the chest with the palm strike, knocking him onto his back to the floor.

Arcee then turned towards the two brainwashed cops, who raised their guns up in attempt to shoot her.

As the turtle in pink prepared herself to face the cops, the nurse suddenly came from her left and tackled the turtle in pink, making Arcee to stumble backwards and trip over the downed fireman, causing her to fall onto her shell to the floor right at the moment when the cops opened the fire.(1)

BLAM!

BLAM!

Instead of hitting Arcee or the nurse, their shots hit harmlessly to the beam, leaving two dents to it.

Once the turtle in pink was down on the floor, the nurse grabbed from Arcee's shoulders and pinned her down to the floor.(1)

"Get off me!" Arcee demanded, grabbing from the nurse's shoulders and tried to push her off. "I said, Get off me!"(1)

Arcee managed to push the nurse off her enough to put her feet against her chest, before she kicked the nurse away, causing her to hit the fireman who had just got back to his feet from the floor, knocking them both over.

Arcee then hopped back to her feet and turned around to see the hobo charging at her, who raised his shovel up over his head in attempt to hit her with it, but Arcee quickly raised her arms up and crossed them into X in front of her face as the shovel came down on her, blocking the strike, before she grabbed from the shovel with both hands and pulled it forward, sending the hobo flying over her head to the other side of the warehouse.

Afterwards, Kevin the pizza delivery boy came running towards her from behind, spinning the chain wildly in his hands above of his head before he tried to hit Arcee with it, but the turtle in pink sensed him coming and ducked his head down under Kevin's strike as she turned around and snatched the boy up by his waist with her right arm.

"Sorry, Kevin, but ain't in the mood for pizza right now!" Arcee told to Kevin before she threw him to the same pile as the nurse and the fireman.(2)

Unlike the two professionals, who were already knocked out, Kevin wasn't out of the game just yet. Glaring angrily up at Arcee, Kevin attempted to get back up, but Arcee reached to him first and quickly jabbed the boy to the pressure point with her finger, knocking the boy out before he fell limply over the nurse and fireman. Afterwards, Arcee quickly turned all three people over so that she could remove Malignus' mind control beetles off their necks before smashing them under her feet, thus freeing all three them.

Arcee was then about to do the same for the cook and the constructor worker she'd knocked out earlier, until one of the brainwashed cops fired a shot at the turtle in pink's feet.

"YIKES!" Arcee yelped in shock as she jumped back, before she turned towards the brainwashed cops, who both aimed their guns at her and opened fire.

Thinking fast, Arcee quickly started back flipping away from the police officers who fired their guns wildly at the turtle in pink.

"BLAM!" "BLAM!" "BLAM!" "BLAM!"

"BLAM!" "BLAM!" "BLAM!" "BLAM!"

The wild gunshots flew past the turtle in pink as she kept backing away from the cops.

Fortunately, most of the shots missed her - due to the fact that it's harder to hit a moving target - and hit instead to the support beam, the opposite wall, and some crates behind the turtle in pink. However, some of the shots missed her just narrowly, like one shot from the police shotgun that almost hit Arcee in the head, but it ended up flying through her cape, leaving a large hole in it.

After flipping past the support beam that took the gunfire for her, Arcee quickly dived behind it for cover and pressed her shell against it as the cops approached her while continuing to fire their guns at her and the beam.

Trying to catch her breath as the shots from the guns kept hitting to the other side of the beam, tearing through of it, Arcee tried to come up with an idea to get rid of those brainwashed trigger-happy maniacs without getting herself shot.

However, she did not get much time to think for the plan before the hobo, who had recovered from the earlier, charged at her again and tried to hit Arcee in the head with the shovel. Arcee, however, ducked to her left - though not too much to accidentally move out of her cover in front of the gunfire - causing the shovel to hit the beam instead.

Hobo then raised his shovel up to try again, but Arcee moved quickly forward and slapped with her right hand the hobo across his messy bearded face, causing his head to fly to his right. The turtle in pink's slap was hard enough to make the hobo to spin around, turning his back to her, and revealing Malignus beetle on his neck.

Seeing the opening, Arcee wasted no time to seize this perfect but likely brief opportunity and reached out to quickly remove the bug from hobo's neck, freeing him from Malignus' control, before she then jabbed the hobo to the pressure point in his neck, knocking him out cold.

However, before the hobo could fall over or to in front of the cops' wild firing, Arcee quickly grabbed him and carefully put him down against the beam.

"There you go, pal." Arcee said to the hobo before she picked up his shovel. "You don't mind if I borrow this for a moment?"

Arcee then pressed herself against the beam again as the cops kept shooting at her and the unconscious hobo. But after the moment of covering from the gunfire, all shooting suddenly ceased and all the loud gunshots were replaced by the clicking sounds.

Noticing this, the pink in pink cautiously peeked out from behind the beam and saw the cops, who were still aiming their guns at her while repeatedly pulling the triggers, but not a single shot or the flash of fire came out of the barrels of their guns. The officers had used all their current ammunition, but apparently did not bother to reload their guns because of their mindcontrolled states.

Recalling Malignus' words, Arcee realized that while they were still able to follow the basic command to kill her, reloading their guns wasn't apparently part of that command. And without their free will, they would be doing that until after being freed from Malignus' control.

And if Malignus was separatively able to command the officers to reload their guns, he wouldn't be doing that now due to his focus being on Mikey, or then he simply didn't bother give such of command due to the large number of his brainwashed minions.

"Hah! Design flaw! So much for the so-called "might" of his army." Arcee scoffed confidently.

Arcee then sprinted out of her cover, the shovel still in her hand, and ran towards the cops, who vainly continued to fire at the turtle in pink with their empty guns.

As she kept running, several of Malignus' civilian-minions approached her from left and right in attempt to tackle her down or seize her. Arcee jumped over the first civilian who attempted to lunge at her from her right, only for him to end up flat on his nose to the floor. Arcee then ducked her head down as the next civilian came from her left and tried to swing the metal pipe at her, but missed, before Arcee used the shovel to sweep his legs from under him, causing him to fall over to the floor. The female civilian then came from her right and tried to whack her with the metal stick, which Arcee blocked with the shovel before she swiftly jabbed her in the forehead with the blunt end of the shovel. Three civilians then mobbed up in front of her to stop her, but Arcee lunged at them, holding the shovel horizontally in front of her, and knocked all three of them off their feet and pinned them on their backs to the floor before flipping off of them and continued running towards the cops.

After getting close enough, Arcee struck the shovel to the floor and polevaulted herself up in the air and towards the cops, who lifted up their useless guns up to shoot her.

"Sorry blue duo, BUT YOU'LL THANK THE TURTLE SIS TITAN LATER FOR THIS!" Arcee said, as she spun her shovel wildly around before she brought it over her head and then brought it hard down on the cops, giving them both an old-school ass-whooping... though not too serious one though.

Back to the fight between Mikey and the brainwashed Silver Sentry in the rafts of the warehouse, Malignus directed Sentry to raise his fists up and then dash upwards towards Mikey.

"Uh, oh!" Mikey gulped, before the turtle in orange hopped off the pipe, making Silver Sentry to miss him, before Mikey swung himself upwards to give the kick with both of his feet to Silver Sentry's stomach.

The kick, however, had not effect on Silver Sentry. He just kept flying up towards the warehouse's ceiling as if nothing had hit him at all. Once reaching the ceiling, Sentry turned around in a wide arc and then dashed back towards Mikey, making the turtle in orange gasp in worry.

As Sentry kept coming closer, ready to knock Mikey down again, Mikey quickly swung himself up and over the pipe, narrowly avoiding being hit by the brainwashed superhero's fists as he flew underneath the pipe, before Mikey gave him another kick in the back before swinging up again and then landing on his feet to the pipe.

Once again, the kick had no effect on the superhero. He just stopped in the air and turned around, before being directed by Malignus to fly back towards Mikey again.

Out of desperation, Mikey threw his turtle-shell shield towards Sentry in Captain America's style, which hit him in the chest with little to now effect. Sentry then grabbed the shield and held it up for Mikey to see, before he easily squeezed it together in between his hands like it was nothing but a plastic, before letting it to drop to the floor.

"Right." Mikey scoffed nervously. "What was I even thinking?"

Mikey then took his rope and grappling hook off his belt, before he spun the hook around and then threw it towards the hole in the ceiling in order to get himself to a better position and the high ground advantage over his mindcontrolled and super strong adversary.

However, Sentry flew past him straight towards the rope and snatched it from the air before it could reach to the hole in the ceiling. Mikey's eyes widened from shock after seeing this, before Sentry pulled from the rope, causing Mikey to fly upwards and towards him.

"WHAOOOO!" Mikey yelped, before he crashed face-first into Silver Sentry's stone-hard chest.

"OW! Aahhh!" he moaned, touching the beak of his nose area as Sentry held him up by the role. "That's gonna leave the mark! And I hate bruise marks! Black-and-blue clashes with green, you know that?!" Mikey remarked.(3)

Silver Sentry then ripped much of the rope off, leaving only small part of it in Mikey's hand, before he dropped it to the floor. The superhero then tossed Mikey up a little bit, before he wrapped his hands together, spun around and struck Mikey hard in the chest, sending him flying away.

"AAAAHH!" Mikey cried as he flew away, until he hit to one of the rafters behind him, and started to fall down.

However, before he could hit the floor, Sentry flew down towards him with super speed and with his right hand reached out. The superhero then snatched the turtle in orange from the air, but he slammed him hard against the wall of the warehouse, leaving the round shell-shaped dent into it.

In the background, Malignus cackled evilly while watching Sentry roughly pinning Mikey against the wall.

"Give it up, Turtle Titan! As you can see, you'll never stand any chance against my super puppet!" Malignus taunted from his platform.

Though stunned by the rough impact after being slammed/pinned against the wall, Mikey, under the drive of his unwavering determination no matter if the odds were heavily against him, gritted his teeth angrily as he glared at Malignus.

"MAYBE!" Mikey said defiantly, before turning back to Sentry. "But even so, I'LL NEVER GIVE UP!"

Even though already knowing how vain this was, Mikey grabbed from Sentry's arm that kept him pinned to the wall with both hands and swung his right leg upwards and over Sentry's left shoulder. "KHYA!" Mikey let out as he kicked Sentry in the head, though the superhero completely ignored it as it had no effect on him... save for him tilting his head slightly - just for one-couple insignificant inches - to the right either out of the impact or due to Malignus directing him to do so as to mock him for his efforts.

Afterwards, the Sentry grabbed Mikey by his foot with his left hand before he easily lifted the helpless turtle in orange above his head... again. Then the superhero started to hover upwards, stopping only when they were high enough off the ground, making Mikey nervous as he already knew where this was heading.

"Aw, man! Here we go again!" Mikey moaned, as Sentry threw him away.

"AAHHHH! OUCH!" Mikey moaned, as he landed hard into another pile of crates, smashing several into pieces while knocking over the rest.

Mikey pulled himself out from under the crates, rubbing his head, before he turned back to Silver Sentry, who swooped down in the arc towards him.

"YIKES!" Mikey yelped and quickly ducked down for cover, causing Sentry to miss him and smash through the pile's crates, smashing half of them into pieces before he flew away and upwards. Sentry then turned around at the same time as Mikey came out from the cover and turned back towards the superhero, before he once again swooped down towards the turtle in orange.

Mikey began to think again for a new offensive way to fight Sentry, until his eyes laid down on the still intact crates. The turtle in orange then picked one up and licted it over his shoulder, before he threw it towards Sentry. Unfortunately, and sadly, the direct hit from the tossed crate didn't stop Sentry but ended up getting smashed into pieces upon impact like the egg, and Sentry just kept coming.

"Aw, shell!" Mikey moaned, just when Sentry hit on his feet to the floor in front of him and pulled back his left clenched fist before he drew it forward, punching Mikey in the chest with such of force that it sent him flying backwards at high speed, till he hit against another support beam.

"Ughhh." Mikey moaned as he fell on his knees to the floor, stunned again by both Sentry's stone-hard punch and the impact against the beam.

As Mikey looked up at Sentry, his eyes went wide from shock when he realized what he was about to do now.

After knocking Mikey away, the superhero grabbed to the support beam nearest of him and literally ripped it off from the floor and the rafts above, making it the giant makeshift-club, which he then swung with both hands at Mikey.

Mikey, however, quickly jumped over the beam as it flew under him and smashed through the beam behind of him, knocking half of it off. The Sentry then tried to hit Mikey again, but Mikey quickly dived down on all fours to the ground to avoid getting hit again.

After the beam had flew past him, Mikey jumped up from the ground into crouched down position and glared up at Sentry.

"Alright! THAT'S IT!" Mikey exclaimed, already having had enough of being his brainwashed idol's living Piñata. The turtle in orange jumped up and charged towards Sentry. "Let's finish this now, SHALL WE, SENTRY?!"

Sentry then lifted the beam over his head, preparing to smash it down on Mikey to finish him off. However, this gave Mikey the opening through of Sentry's defenses, so Mikey went to offensive and rammed himself into the superhero's chest shoulder-first in order to knock him back and or bring him down, although knowing that just like all his other previous failed attempts, this one won't do anything good neither.

However, when Mikey rammed himself into Sentry's chest, the superhero suddenly and unexpectedly flew backwards and away from Mikey upon impact, causing him to skid to stop and look at the superhero in shock and surprise.

"What?!" Mikey exclaimed in confusion, not really expecting this kind of outcome from his attack.

Silver Sentry continued to fly backwards 'til he crashed hard against another support beam behind him, causing it to snap loudly in half upon the impact. Sentry then fell onto his butt to the foot of the beam and dropped his head down with his eyes closed, looking like he'd been knocked out cold by the crash.

Mikey could only stare at his unconscious form in astonishment and bewilderment.

"Wow! Did...? Did I do that?" Mikey questioned, still confused of how he'd even been able to knock Sentry out cold like that, even after all his previous attempts to bring the super strong and super durable superhero down had failed.

"Yes, you did, my naive friend." Malignus sneered from his platform, amused by Mikey's confusion. "Only if I wanted him to do that... which I did... just to make a fool out of you!"

Malignus cackled tauntingly as he held his right hand out and towards Mikey, who immediately turned back to the downed superhero.

Sentry's eyes then flew open and he lifted his head up, fixing his maliciously glowing yellow stare at Mikey.

"Uh, oh." Mikey gulped nervously.

Before Mikey could've even blink his eyes, the Sentry jumped dived towards him at high speed, giving Mikey not even the slightest chance to defend himself before the superhero grabbed him with his right hand and took off with him.

As they flew just above the floor of the warehouse, the Sentry first lifted Mikey up and then he brutally slammed him against the floor and kept him pinned there as he kept flying forward at high speed, causing Mikey's shell to rub against the floor. This not only tore Mikey's superhero suit's cape to shreds, but also left a long and deep groove in the ground.

"AAAARRGGHHHH!" Mikey cried as he felt the painful burning sensation of the friction between the floor and his shell.

This continued 'till they reached to the other side of the warehouse, where the superhero then turned upwards, simultaneously lifting Mikey up from the floor and up in the air. Then Sentry repeated the sa,e thing by slamming Mikey against the wall and pinned him there as he flew upwards, painfully rubbing his shell against the wall.

"AAAARRGGHHHH!" Mikey cried in pain again.

Once the two got closer to the ceiling, Sentry stopped there and hovered in the air while keeping battered and heavily bruised Mikey, who gritted his teeth from immense pain all over his body, pinned against the wall. Smirking evilly, Sentry then let go of Mikey and nearly allowed him to fall down, until he quickly grabbed the turtle in orange by his left wrist and held him in the air.

However, showing no slightest mercy to the downed turtle in orange, Sentry began to fly all around the ceiling and started to repeatedly and brutally slam Mikey against the ceiling, against the walls, against the pipes and rafts like the rag doll... and he repeated it over, over, over, over, over, over, over, over, over, and over again, knocking the wind out of Mikey.

Back to Arcee... After defeating the cops, and possibly freeing them, as well as the cook and the construction worker from Malignus control, and after retrieving her Tessens, the turtle in pink was fighting against one of the brainwashed groundskeepers, who waved his rake wildly at Arcee, trying to hit her with it. First he swung his rale horizontally at Arcee's head but she ducked under the swing. Then the groundskeeper swung towards her legs but Arcee jumped over it.

At the same time as she did, two brainwashed civilians charged at her one from each side, holding the fireman's axe and the metal stick as their weapons. As they got closer, their raised their weapons up and swung them towards Arcee to whack her with them, but Arcee spun around in the air after jumping over the groundskeeper's rake before she blocked the civilians' weapons with her closed Tessens and then butterfly-kicked both of them in the face, knocking them away before landing back to her feet.

The groundskeeper then swung his rake at Arcee again, and even though he missed her again, the rake tore through of Arcee's cape's left corner, ripping much of it away. The groundskeeper then tried to swing his rake at Arcee from above, but Arcee ducked her head under the swing before spinning around. Then she swung her left closed Tessen down on the rake's shaft, pinning it to the ground, and then swung her right open Tessen down on it, cutting the rake off from the shaft and thus disarming her opponent.

The groundskeeper threw his useless rake away and tried to punch Arcee with the left fist, but Arcee spun around in crouched pose and swept the groundskeeper's legs from under him with her right leg, causing him to fly flat on his back to the floor.

Arcee stood back up but got no time to knock the groundskeeper out cold to remove Malignus' bug off his neck when the reverend suddenly attacked her and swung a chair leg towards her head, but the pink turtle dodged under the blow and somersaulted across the floor behind the reverend's back, getting back to her feet at the same time as the postman, who charged at her from her right and tried to tackle her down. However, the postman missed as Arcee jumped over his head before landing on her feet behind his back.

Arcee then spun around and grabbed the postman's mailbag that was still hoisted over the man's shoulder before she then spun herself around, pulling the postman along with her and swung him around once before throwing him away, sending the postman flying into the reverend as he was charging at Arcee again while holding the chair leg over his head for a new strike, knocking them both to the floor.

Stewie then charged at Arcee next and tried to swing his meat mallet at Arcee, but the turtle in turtle leaned her head back to dodge the strike. Stewie then swung the mallet over his head and then down on Arcee, but the turtle in pink raised her Tessens up and crossed them to block the strike and pushed the big overweight Hot Dog seller's weapon back. As a sneaky move, Stewie tried to stab her in the stomach with the butcher knife, but Arcee moved her body to the left, causing Stewie to miss, before she sneakily hooked Stewie's right leg with her own left leg and lifted it up in the air, causing Stewie to stumble backwards and then fall flat onto his back to the floor, while Arcee landed onto her hands to the floor before cartwheeling back onto her feet.

However, she failed to notice the squinty-eyed and white-bearded sailor standing behind her, wielding the speargun. He aimed his weapon at Arcee while the turtle in pink while her shell was turned to him and then fired, catching Arcee by surprise when the fired spear hit her in the right flank, tearing through her cape and superhero suit further and lightly scratching her shell in the process.

"AGH!" Arcee yelped in surprise as the impact if the spear that grazed her shell's right side knocking her off the spot, causing her to stumble forward while trying to regain her balance and footholding. And when she finally managed to maintain her balance, the turtle in pink turned to the direction where the spear had came from.

"HEY!" Arcee snarled at the sailor, whom she noticed was reloading his speargun again with the new spear, preparing to fire with it at her again.

Simultaneously, the female street musician charged at the turtle in pink from the left, holding her quitar up and ready for the strike.

The musician's attack drew Arcee's attention away from the sailor as she swung her quitar in a wide horizontal arc at the turtle in pink, aiming her in the head. However, Arcee crouched down out of the blow's way, making the musician miss her and hit the empty air instead. She then turned back towards Arcee and tried to slam her quitar down on the turtle in pink, but Arcee somersaulted backwards before the quitar could hit her, and landed on one knee a small distance away from the musician as her quitar hit to the spot where Arcee had just been, causing it to break in half upon impact.

Unfazed by this, the musician walked towards the Arcee again and swung her splitted quitar's broken side - as there were sharp wooden spikes and sharp edges - downwards to hit her, but Arcee jumped up and leaped over the quitar with the barrel roll before landing down on all fours to the floor.

The Musician then raised her broken quitar over her head and prepared to strike Arcee with it one more time. As Arcee prepared herself for the blow, the turtle in pink noticed that the same sailor was aiming his reloaded speargun at her again, ignoring the fact that the musician was standing right in the way of his shot and, due to his brainwashed state, didn't care if he'd accidentally shoot the musician instead of her.

Then he fired the spear! Arcee's eyes shot wide open from shock.

"LOOK OUT!" the turtle in pink screamed panickedly, before she quickly dived towards the musicial and knocked her off her feet, causing her to drop her quitar, and pinning her down to the floor before the spear hit her in the back, though it ended up rebounding harmlessly from her shield to other direction, but not before tearing more of her cape and her supersuit and leaving a small scratch to her shell.

After saving the musician's life and pinning her down, Arcee quickly moved her head to her right so that she could reach to the bug on her neck, removing it and freeing the musician from Malignus' control, but she also jabbed her finger into musician's pressure point to knock her out.

Afterwards Arcee flipped off her unconscious form and landed into crouched down pose in front of the sailor, who had not only reloaded his speargun with the new spear but also had taken out another loaded speargun. The sailor then aimed them both at Arcee before firing both spears at the turtle in pink.

Better prepared this time, Arcee picked the musician's dropped broken quitar up from the floor and used it as a shield to protect herself from the incoming spears, both of which hit and got stuck in the quitar. Arcee then spun and, turning back to the sailor, tossed the quitar towards his legs, causing the sailot to fall face-first to the floor.

With the sailor down, Arcee quickly hurried to his side and hit his pressure point in his neck to knock him out. Then she proceeded to remove the bug from his neck to free the sailor from Malignus control. However, Arcee was then caught off guard by the plumber, who ambushed the unsuspecting turtle in pink from behind and whacked her hard in the head with one of his wrenches.

"AAAGH!" Arcee cried in pain as the blow sent her onto her chest to the floor.

Arcee then rolled onto her shell, groaning in pain and rubbing the back of her head, before she looked up to the ceiling and gasped in shock at what she was seeing!

She saw brainwashed Silver Sentry holding defeated and battered Mikey by his arm while hovering in the air.

"MIKEY!" Arcee cried and attempted to get up, only to get unexpectedly kicked in the face by the plumber, which knocked Arcee back onto her shell to the floor.

The plumber then brought his wrench down on Arcee's head to smash it in, missing just narrowly as Arcee moved her head out of the wrench's way. The plumber raised his wrench up and was about to hit Arcee with it again, but the turtle in pink quickly kicked with her left foot the plumber's right leg off from under him, causing the plumber to halt his attack as he fell on his knee.

Despite that, the plumber tried to resume his attack, but Arcee quickly brought her left closed Tessen up in the wrench's way, blocking his attack. The plumber tried to hit Arcee with his other wrench, but Arcee brought her right Tessen up and blocked it too. With their weapons locked together, Arcee gritted her teeth as she tried to push the plumber back and get him off her, but the plumber managed to keep her pinned down with the brute force... even lowering his angry-shaped face down and closer of Arcee's own face.

"UGH!" Arcee grimaced in disgust. "Nice breath, Mario!"(4)

Hoping to distract the plumber somehow, Arcee kneed him in the right side with her left knee. Of course the plumber did not reacted to this anyway or even cared about it in his brainwashed state but Arcee didn't care. Thinking quickly something else, Arcee started to push the plumber's wrenches and arms to the sides with her weapons, thus creating the opening, which the turtle in pink quickly used as her advantage by headbutting the plumber in the forehead.

The blow was hard enough to knock the plumber's head back, thus giving a new opening for Arcee's another counterattack. Wasting no time, as it was obvious that even the headbutt won't keep the plumber distracted very long, The turtle in pink kneed the plumber again but this time in the chest with her right knee, knocking him back a bit again.

After creating a big enough space between of them, Arcee dropped her Tessens and quickly grabbed from the plumber's shirt before pulling him down and somersaulted backwards, before she lifted both of her feet under the plumber's stomach and kicked them upwards. This sent the plumber flying away from her till he crashed into bunch of other brainwashed people, knocking them all over and into a huge pile of to each other tangled people.

Landing back to her feet, Arcee turned back to Mikey, who was still going to be manhandled by the brainwashed Sentry.

"HANG ON, TURTLE TITAN! I'M COMING!" Arcee called, before she headed towards the support beam to climb it up to get to the ceiling and to her brother's aid against the brainwashed superhero.

"STOP HER!" Malignus roared from his platform.

The horde of brainwashed people began to chase after the turtle in pink, while the rest of the brainwashed civilians and professionals started to flood towards Arcee from all sides.

Several civilians tried to prevent Arcee from reaching the beam, but the turtle in pink just moved past most of them, not bothering to waste her time to knock out any of them.

First she dodged the first civilian's attempt to punch her by spinning around to her right before moving past him by his right side. Then she dived forward and somersaulted along the floor and under the next civilian's attempt to swing at her with the metal pipe. Third and female civilian then tried to swing the shovel at Arcee's feet, but Arcee grabbed from the civilian's head and hopped over her in leapfrog style, before she approached the fourth guy who held the crate over his head in attempt to throw it at Arcee, but Arcee skidded past him between his legs before the crate could hit her. After she got up, the turtle in pink was approached by three other civilians who tried to charge at her all together in attempt to tackle and pile onto her to pin her to the floor. However, as they lunged at her, Arcee spun around and leaped with the barrel roll over their heads, making them miss her and hit face-first to the floor.

However, once she got closer to the beam, she started to pay a little more attention to any brainwashed person who still tried to stop her.

As the next civilian, woman this time, charged at her, Arcee flipped over her head, until she grabbed from the woman's shoulders and then put her feet against the woman's back before jumping off, knocking the woman away. Simultaneously she dived forward and tackled the next civilian, knocking him off his feet and pinning him onto his back to the floor before flipping off him and landing back to her feet. Next civilian then charged at her from the left, holding a pipe as a weapon, but Arcee only grabbed from his shirt before turning around and tossed him over her shoulder and away from her. Then she spun around as next civilian came from her right, but Arcee swept his left leg from under him with her right own while the civilian had his other leg raised up, causing him to fall onto Arcee's awaiting arms, before the turtle in pink then tossed him away. She was then approached by four other civilians from all four direction, but Arcee dealt them with ease by jumping up, spinning around and then spin-kicking all four of them away from her with her left foot.

Next the brainwashed limo driver charged at Arcee from her right, holding the brush as a weapon. He tried to whack Arcee in the head with it, but Arcee dodged under it and moved behind the driver, before she pushed him into two charging brainwashed mental asylum workers, dark-blond-haired man and curly-haired african-american woman, knocking them all over to the floor.

Next the news reporter came towards her from the left and attempted to whack Arcee in the head with his mike, but the turtle in pink ducked her head down to evade the strike, before she spun around to the right and then sent the kick with her right foot into the reporter's chest, leaving the two-toed foot mark in there and knocking the man away from her, causing him to crash into several other incoming civilians, knocking them out as well.

Arcee then turned around and saw the burglar and the news reporter's cameraman charging at her with the crowbar and the camera as their weapons. However, because they were not standing between her and the support beam, Arcee decided not to waste her time with them.

So Arcee turned away from them and headed towards the beam to climb up to the rafters. But before she could get to the beam, the garbage man came from her right side while she wasn't looking, and swung the trash can lid at her at the same time as the turtle in pink turned her gaze forward.

BANG!

"AGH!" Arcee cried after she was whacked in the face by the garbage man's trash can lid, which sent her flying backwards, though Arcee recovered quickly and landed on her hands to the floor. Then she flipped back onto her feet and into crouched down pose, as the burglar and the cameraman approached her from behind.

The burglar and the cameraman raised their weapons up to hit Arcee with them, but Arcee opened both her Tessens again before she jumped up and turned towards the two, slashing her weapons at their weapons. Her left Tessen cut the cameraman's camera off its stands before her right Tessen sliced both the burglar's crowbar and the camera in two, before Arcee spun around and kicked both of them in the chests with her left foot, knocking the two off their feet and sending them onto their backs to the floor, before turning back to the garbage man.

However, the garbage man was accompanied by the bald mental asylum worker with the net as well as the remaining groundskeeper with the weed whacker and three animal control guys: "Short", "Tall" and "Fat", with the snare pole, large net and both the cattle prod and the net gun as their weapons, while more of the brainwashed people, the teacher and the school bus driver amongst them, gathered around of her from behind her shell.

Meanwhile, back in the ceiling where Sentry was still tangling beaten and battered Mikey in the air by his arm.

"Uhh." Mikey moaned from pain as he slowly looked up at Sentry, who stared down at him with emotionless expression on his fave.

"Silver Sentry..." Mikey moaned weakly, as if trying to reach out to him again or begging him not to do whatever he was going to do next.

However, instead of responding, Sentry took another iron grip on Mikey's arms and lifted him up over his head again, while Malignus looked at this from his platform with the evil grin on his masked face.

"Good, my puppet. Now, Dispose of this pest!" Malignus ordered.

"Oh, no! Here we go again!" Mikey gulped as he braced herself.

Sentry then threw Mikey away, sending the turtle in orange to fly towards the boarded up window like the javelin.

"WHOAAAA!" Mikey screamed as he went right through the window, which didn't go unnoticed by Arcee from below.

"MIKEY!" she gasped in horror.

Outside of the warehouse, after flying through the boarded up window, Mikey crashed into the cardboard boxes and barrels, disappearing beneath of them.

"Ouch! That hurt!" Mikey moaned.

Inside of the warehouse, Arcee's horror turned into anger as she turned to Malignus.

"YOU COWARDLY MONSTER!" the turtle in pink screamed as she charged towards the platform to fight the villain herself.

However, before she could reach to the platform to face Malignus face-to-face, the brainwashed bald asylum worker and "Tall" animal control worker caught her off guard by pulling their nets down on her at the same time, capturing the turtle in pink into them

"Hey! What the shell!" Arcee snapped as she struggled in the workers's nets in an attempt to get free, while the garbageman, animal control workers and groundskeeper approached her, trying to seize this opportunity to kill the turtle in pink while she was both trapped and pinned down.

Malignus cackled again as he looked down at Arcee and seeing her dire situation. "What's the matter, my dear? Too uncomfortable in my puppets' nets?" he teased.

Arcee glared up at him through of the nets over her head. "Yeah! Too uncomfortable!" she said sarcastically.

"You know, my dear." Malignus said, looking at the turtle in pink thoughtfully, as Silver Sentry flew down to them and hovered beside the villain while staring down at Arcee. "I'll admit it that you have a potential. You fight good, maybe even better than the Turtle Titan. So maybe we can make a deal. I can spare your meaningless life, but only on one condition. You join me, as my loyal sidekick."

Arcee scoffed in disgust. "In your freakish dreams, Malignus! I'll never join to such of despicable vile person like you, who has no value towards human life than his own personal gain!" the turtle in pink said defiantly, while still struggling against the nets over her.

Malignus, however, didn't seem enraged by this.

"Oh, but you will, my dear. Either easier or the harder way." the villain sneered, holding up one of his bugs in his hands to show it to Arcee. "You'll have the honor to become the host of my second variant bug, just like our friend Silver Sentry in here."

"I'd rather flush that "honor" down the toilet than crawl on my knees before you like the dog! Besides, you have to put that darn thing on my neck by force, as I won't go down without fighting!" Arcee declared.

Arcee then opened her Tessens again and began slicing them to the left, right, front and back, cutting through the nets around her and quickly freeing herself. Afterwards she jumped up in the air, spun around and split-kicked both the asylum worker and "Tall" animal control workers in the heads, knocking them out.

"Short" animal worker then charged forward, attempting to capture Arcee either by her neck or wrist with his snare pole. But the turtle in pink put her Tessens away before spinning around to her right, dodging the snare pole's hoop before she grabbed to it with her left and before turning back and kicked the "Short" in the stomach, sending him flying on her back to the ground.

Arcee then took the "Short's" snare pole into both hands and began to spin it wildly around in front of her in Donnie's style, before she pulled the pole's shaft behind her shell and held her left hand forward... before daring the remaining brainewashed people to come and get her.

"Fat" animal control worker then raised his net gun up, aimed it at Arcee and fired the net towards her. However, Arcee jumped over the shot, but not before turning the snare pole around in her hands and moved its other end towards one of the net's prongs, capturing the net. Using the net's other prongs' weight as the advantage, Arcee wrapped the net around the pole's shaft first, and then she began to unwrap the net from around the shaft, before she then spun around and waved the pole horizontally forward, throwing the net at her enemies simultaneously.

The thrown net missed most of the brainwashed opponents except the teacher and the school bus driver, causing the net to wrap around of their feet and tying them up together, thus causing both teacher and the driver to trip over and fall flat on their noses to the floor.

As Arcee dealt with the rest of Malignus' mindless minions, the villain turned to Silver Sentry.

"Go after the Turtle Titan and KILL HIM! We'll deal with this fool later." he ordered, before he directed Sentry to fly towards the wall beneath the boarded up window, through of which he'd thrown Mikey outside.

The superhero bursted right through a wall and flew directly towards the cardboard boxes and barrels, where Mikey had crashlanded after flying through the window. Holding his fists up, Sentry smashed through half of the boxes and knocked several barrels into the air, leaving them dented in by their sides.

However, as the superhero flew up in the air and looked down at the smashed boxes and scattered barrels, he saw no sign of Mikey anywhere.

Inside the warehouse, Malignus, looking through of brainwashed Sentry's eyes, was left confused that Mikey had suddenly disappeared from the scene. He looked around of him, while Sentry followed the villains' motions outside.

"Where is he?" Malignus hissed in confusion and growing frustration. "Find him! KILL HIM!" he hissed.

Outside, Sentry then started to search for Mikey while flying over the warehouse, like the hawk stalking its ground-bound prey.

Elsewhere, in the ground level, behind of the warehouse, Mikey, having recovered from his flight out of the warehouse and the crashlanding into the boxes and barrels, was hiding behind the corner while carefully peeking out and looking up at the brainwashed superhero that was hunting him.

"This is embarrassing, even for the superhero! Hiding like a coward from the mind controlled idol who is out to knock you out of your shell, while you can't lay even one single dent to him." Mikey lamented, sounding demoralized, hopless and utterly defeated. What do I have to do to beat him and get that bug-thing off his neck?!"

Mikey then started to think hard for various plans with which to fight mind controlled Sentry or to free him, but almost every plan he came up with required a physical confrontation, and none of them proved to be effective against him so far... if none of them does at all.

However, while pondering the plan as the situation grew even more hopeless for him, the turtle in orange's mind traveled back in time and recalled the few words he'd received from several people throughout tonight.

he garbageman, the burglar, limo driver, mental asylum workers, animal control workers, a news reporter and cameraman

The school children, the teacher, school bus driver.

"You must never forget who you are, Michelangelo. You are ninja! You operate in the shadows." Splinter's voice said in his head.

"You've got a lot of heart, kid, and I appreciate the help. But you're in way over your head. The comics and the reality are a two different things, and this is all just a reality." Silver Sentry's voice told him in his head.

"While hanging out here with you, this whole thing has made me to see you being lost between two paths in your life." Arcee's voice said in his head.

"All those "inspirations" and "ideas" that I gave you earlier to help you to build up your superhero career, were actually my attempts to sway you back to the only one and right path that is given to us: The path of the ninja, concealed within the shadows where we belongs... as turtles... ninja turtles." Arcee's voice said again.

"There are many paths, my son. You must choose the one that is true to yourself." Splinter's voice said again.

Mikey took a moment to go through all those words over again and consider the true meaning behind of them.

Eventually, the turtle in orange let out the sigh... as if he had come to the conclusion, or knowing now what he need to do, or having the realization of reality of the situation... or all of them at the same time.

"You know, maybe they were right...all of them: Master Splinter, Arcee, Silver Sentry and the guys. I've been way over my head all night and thus strayed from the path which, after all, is true to me." Mikey said truthfully and humbly. "Then maybe it's time to stop pretenting what I'm not and go back to who I am: Michelangelo! Ninja turtle, who stays within the shadows and fights according to the basic style... Ninja turtle style!"

With that, Mikey took off his hooded mask, ripped off his torn suit and threw away the boots, before the turtle in orange concealed himself within the shadows.

While still searching Mikey, Silver Sentry hovered down to the ground level and picked up the barrel in his right hand and the large box in his left hand, before he hovered up in the air again, lifting the barrel and the box up with him.

"YA-HOO!" Mikey's voice called from the distance... from Sentry's left, from the direction of the docks.

Sentry turned to look to his left, but he saw no-one in there.

The superhero then started to hover towards the docks, following the direction Mikey's voice had came from... at the slow pace, as if expecting for a possible ambush from the turtle in orange once he stepped/hovered into open.

Then he heard the distant whiste - like the pet dog's master calling his pet with the whistle - which came from his right side, around the corner of the building standing close the docks and next to Malignus's warehouse.

Sentry turned to stare at the said building on his right, then he hovered towards it, expecting Mikey to be hiding behind of it.

"OVER HERE, BIG GUY!" Mikey's voice called again from the same direction, before the superhero hovered around the corner of the building and looked around.

However, he saw no sign of his prey in there.

"NO, NO, NO! OVER HERE!" Mikey's voice called from his left, making Sentry to turn to look to the left, but he still saw nothing.

"OVER THERE! BEHIND YOU!" Mikey's voice called again, prompting Sentry to turn around and hover back to the backside of Malignus' warehouse, right there where the other boxes and barrels still were.

However, once he got there, there was no sign of Mikey... again.

Sentry then hovered down to the ground level and stood calmly still as if waiting for his prey to come to him.

Inside the warehouse, Malignus looked pretty frustrated and furious over this little hide-and-seek game Mikey was playing on him and mind controlled superhero.

"Where are you, you coward?! What is this game you're playing with me?! Come out you! Come out and face my puppet!" he snarled as he looked into his various screen that showever several spots around the warehouse in order to find Mikey.

This didn't go unheard by Arcee, who was still fighting against Malignus' minions, and the knowing smile emerged on the turtle in pink's lips.

"It's called "hide-and-seek", asshole! And it is the ninjas' most favorite game ever!" Arcee announced proudly during of her fight with Malignus' minions, as if suspecting that Mikey had finally chosen the way of the ninja to fight the brainwashed Silver Sentry instead of fighting him head-on like the superhero.

"Shut your trap, girl!" Malignus snapped at her before he continued working with the screens.

Back in outside, Sentry kept looking around for Mikey while standing still in middle of the open, unaware that the turtle in orange was peering down at him from above the rooftop of Malignus' warehouse, still concealed in the shadows and in the blind spot of Malignus's supervision.

It was then when Mikey seized his chance and jumped off the rooftop and down towards Silver Sentry, hoping to get close enough of him to get the beetle off his neck.

However, once Mikey did so, he immediately appeared to one of Malignus' screens, which the villain was looking at the moment.

"Ah-ha! Got you!" the villain sneered, as he turned around on the platform.

Outside, following Malignus' motions again, Sentry turned around and stared up at Mikey, who gasped in shock upon of getting discovered by his opponent... and he never even got close enough to take the beetle off his neck.

"Uh, oh!" Mikey gulped.

Sentry then flung the box he was holding in his left hand up at Mikey, who was unable to dodge it before it hit him, knocking the turtle in orange off the sky.

"WHOAAA! UGH!" Mikey groaned as he landed onto his shell to the ground. After the slight recovery, the turtle in orange then got back up to face Sentry, who was upon him again.

The superhero then flung the barrel in his right hand at Mikey, and right afterwards he picked up four other barrels from around of them and threw them at the turtle in orange one by one, sending them flying towards him at the high speed like the missiles.

Mikey jumped over the one barrel, and after landing back on his feet he bent down to avoid the hit from the second one. Mikey then leaned to his left to avoid the third barrel, and then repeated this by leaning to his right to avoid the fourth barrel. The fifth barrel, however, came right towards his spot, causing Mikey to back flip to avoid getting hit by it, but he didn't see Sentry picking up the sixth barrel which he threw at him right after the fifth. Because of this, the sixth barrel hit him right in the chest and knocked him backwards, causing Mikey to fly onto his chest to the ground.

Inside the warehouse, Arcee was facing off the garbage man who tried to whack her repeatedly with his bat, but Arcee deflected each one of his attacks with her Tessens. The garbage man tried to hit her with his trash can lid, but Arcee, however, ducked her head down to avoid the hit, and then she jumped upwards as the garbage man tried to whack her next with his bat, but missed. Falling down towards the garbage man, Arcee drew her right fist back and then punched her opponent in the face. And upon landing, she back-flipped and kicked him under his chin with her left foot, knocking him back.

She was then approached from behind by the "Fat" animal control worker with the cattle prod, with which he tried to stab her to give her an electric shock. Arcee, however, turned around and swung her left Tessen over her head and then brought it down onto the prod, knocking it down, before she punched the "Fat" in the face, knocking him slightly back.

The groundskeeper with weed whacker then attacked her from her right and swung the whacker at Arcee's face. Arcee gasped in surprise and leaned her head quickly back to avoid getting hit by the whacker's spinning and sharp strings - though there was the close call when one of the whacker's string barely missed her right eye, though it left the cut in her superhero mask and slightly cut her right cheek.

"AGH!" Arcee cried in surprise and pain and stepped back, before she lifted her right hand over her cheek. Taking her hand off after moment, she looked down at her palm, which was slightly stained with her blood... just like her slightly bleeding cheek.

The turtle in pink narrowed her eyes and fixed them on the groundskeeper. Though she knew that her injury was not directly his but Malignus's fault, Arcee was starting to have enough of this and get really pissed off!

However, before Arcee could make her next move against the brainwashed grounskeeper, she was snapped out of it by the garbage man's loud cry as he charged at her from behind, with his bat raised over his head for the next strike. Simultaneously, the "Fat" animal control worker charged at her again and thrusted his prod forward to stab Arcee.

However, the turtle in pink quickly dived down on all fours to avoid getting stabbed by the "Fat's" cattle prod, leading him to miss her and accidentally stab the garbage man in his big stomach, shocking him with electricity. As the electricity ran through of the garbage man's body, it also hit to the bug on the man's neck and fried it, destroying it.

Arcee then jumped up and turned slightly to the garbage man, who was left stunned by the electric shock. Unaware of him being already free from Malignus' control and driven by her adrenaline, Arcee sent the kick in his chest with her right foot, knocking him down to the floor and out cold.

Then she turned to the "Fat" and kicked him in the stomach with the same foot, causing him to bend over. With that, Arcee spun around again and snap-kicked with her right foot the "Fat" in the face, knocking him off his feet and sending him flying flat on his back to the floor.

Arcee then turned to the groundskeeper as he attacked her again with his weed whacker and swung his weapon at her legs from his left, but the turtle in pink flipped sideways over the swing, though she swung her Tessens downwards at the whacker's shaft, knocking it away from her as she landed back on her feet. The groundskeeper then tried again, but Arcee crouched down under the next swing and then flipped over the third swing, landing to the groundskeeper's right side.

As he tried to turn to Arcee, the turtle in pink was already upon him as she spun around and kicked him in the head with her left foot. The kick not only knocked the saliva out of his mouth but it also got him to mindlessly wobble around and towards Malignus' platform. However, the groundskeeper recovered quickly from the blow and turned back to the turtle in pink, glaring angrily at her with his glowing yellow eyes as he raised his weed hacker for another attack.

Arcee's attention then briefly turned up to Malignus as the villain was looking at one of his screens. Looking to the screen herself, Arcee gasped when she saw Mikey flat on his stomach in the ground and still-brainwashed Sentry standing menacingly over him.

"Now, my puppet, the coup de grace!" the villain directed, as he raised his fists up, and in the screen, Sentry raised his own fists up to crush Mikey to death.

"NO!" Arcee cried in horror.

The turtle in pink then turned around and bent down that her right hand touched the floor and then she flipped over at the same time as the groundskeeper charged at her and tried to strike her with his weed whacker, only to get kicked in the face by Arcee's right foot with such of force that it sent the groundskeeper flying in the air and towards the platform.

Flying over the platform, the groundskeeper crashed into unwary Malignus's back, catching him by surprise. The impact sent the villain stumbling forward until he hit the head-first into the screen he was looking into smashing it on impact.

Outside, As Mikey got up on his knees, he gasped when he noticed Sentry's shadow looming over him, with his fists raised over his head, ready to crush him against the ground with who knows how many tons of force, in the super strong superhero's case.

However, before Sentry could pound him, Mikey leaped up and back flipped right behind the superhero's back, perfectly performing the maneuver Master Splinter was teaching to him and his siblings earlier tonight. Because of this, Sentry missed him and his fists hit to the empty spot, leaving a huge dent into it that could've cracked Mikey's shell open and fatally damage all the vital internals.

With Sentry's guard down, Mikey quickly jumped on his back and pulled Malignus' bug off his neck. Once the bug was off, Sentry's eyes returned back to normal, allowing the superhero to regain his free will and control.

"Ah." Sentry moaned softly as he lifted his hand over his head.

Mikey then hopped off Sentry's back and held Malignus' bug in his hand triumphantly.

"Thank you, Invisible Flying Dragon!" Mikey grinned, before he turned to the Silver Sentry and gently touched his shoulder, making the superhero to turn to him, revealing his normal eyes to turtle in orange, much to his relief.

"Sentry, are you alright?" Mikey asked.

"Yes. I am." Sentry said, before he took the bug off from Mikey's hand and squashed it in his hand, destroying it.

After that was done, the superhero turned back to Mikey.

"Thank you, Turtle Titan. You did the good work, even if you had to go through all of that trouble to free me from Malignus' control." Sentry congratulated, touching Mikey's shoulder, and at the same time confirming Malignus' theory of him being aware of the events around him even under the villain's mind control.

"Hey! The pleasure was all mine, Sentry." Mikey said, sounding like all the trouble he just went through to get the job done was nothing.

Sentry then looked around of them, as he had noticed that there was one turtle missing.

"Where is your sister? Turtle Sis Titan? Where is she?" he questioned, turning back to Mikey.

The turtle in orange then let out the gasp, as he quickly recalled where his sister was.

"Arcee!" the turtle in orange panicked, as he and Sentry turned back to the warehouse.

Inside,

Malignus angrily threw the groundskeeper away from him and knocked him off his platform. The villain lifted his hand over his head and shook it to get it clear, before he turned back to the screen he was both watching the fight between Mikey and Sentry and to which he got knocked into. He growled when he saw that the screen was both black and completely destroyed.

"HA! IN YOUR FACE, MALIGNUS!" Arcee taunted, smirking at the villain's misfortune, though hoping that her intervention did distract him enough to prevent brainwashed Sentry from killing her brother.

Not taking kindly of Arcee's taunting, Malignus turned around and glared angrily down at the Turtle in Pink

"Bah! This changes nothing!" Malignus hissed angrily. "Once my puppet has killed Turtle Titan, I will send him after you next, and I will make him to kill you slowly by tearing you into pieces limb by limb!"

With that, the villain tried to reconnect with Silver Sentry through his mind control bug, and at the same time he tried to look through of his superhero puppet's eyes again to see what was happening outside of the warehouse.

"My puppet! Kill the Turtle Titan! KILL HIM NOW!" he hissed, while glaring at Arcee and smiling evilly under his mask. "And then come back inside! I have the next villainous and most inhumanly cruel deed awaiting for you right here."

However, there was no responding to the command. All he got in return was a buzzing static, causing him to drop his smile in surprise and confusion.

"My puppet?! Do you read me?! Kill him! I COMMAND YOU!" Malignus tried again, but he still got no responding.

"What is this! WHAT HAPPENED?! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY PUPPET?!" Malignus asked frantically as he turned back to his screens and began to direct all of them back to the exact same location where Mikey's and Sentry's showdown was happening, while he still kept trying to make the contact with the Sentry.

The screens eventually returned back to the location of Mikey's and Sentry's fight, but Malignus gasped in shock at what he saw on the screens. Mikey was still alive, back up from the ground and standing side by side with Silver Sentry, who wasn't doing even the slightest thing to attack or pummel the turtle in orange like he had commanded him to do. Instead, much to the villain's dismay and horror, the superhero had put his right hand on Mikey's shoulder in friendly manner and looked like he was congratulating him for the good work. The villain's glowing eyes widened when the realization dawned to him: Mikey had somehow managed to elude his former puppet's finishing blow and removed his bug from his neck, thus freeing the superhero from his control.

"WHAT?! The Turtle Titan managed to break Silver Sentry free from my control?! IMPOSSIBLE! NO! NOOOOOO!" Malignus cried in horror of seeing his brilliant scheme to fall apart before his eyes, before Mikey ran to the left of the screen and Silver Sentry took off up into the skies.

"Nothing is impossible, at least not if you're a ninja, Malignus!" Arcee said, as the Turtle in Pink hopped onto the platform and stood behind of Malignus' back, prompting the villain to turn around to face her.

Both the turtle in pink and the villain glared at each other as if they were the long-time enemies.

"Now it is just you and me! Let's see how bad you really are without your brainwashed legions standing between of us." Arcee said and took the battle-ready pose, challenging the villain to the "final showdown".

"YOU INSOLENT BRAT!" Malignus cursed and took something out from behind his back, which looked like the bigger version of his mind control bugs, only made in the shape of the high-tech handgun. Malignus raised the gun up and aimed it at Arcee, before he fired with it a yellow beam that was surrounded by the white electric spirals.

Arcee jumped into the air as the beam from Malignus' weapon hit to the spot the turtle in pink was standing, leaving a blackened burnt spot there.

Malignus raised his gun up and fired for multiple times at Arcee as she flew in arc through the air, but the turtle in pink took out her Tessens and deflected with her weapons' flat sides nearly each of Malignus' shots, causing the electric beams of Malignus' gun to fly all over the warehouse. Some of them hit to the various spots in the walls and ceiling, leaving there a burned spots, though some of them flew through of the boarded windows or glass windows, shattering the glass and burning through the boards.

Few missed or deflected shots even hit to few of Malignus' screens, destroying them instantly.

"HYAH!" Arcee let out as she landed on her feet in front of Malignus and slashed her right Tessen down at villains gun, slicing it in half and causing him to drop it off to his platform.

"NO!" Malignus gasped.

Arcee then sent the slash at Malignus with her left Tessen, though the villain quickly raised up his right hand to shield himself. His suit's armguards did protect his arm from severe injury from Arcee's Tessens, but the turtle in pink's weapon ended up slashing few wires attached to the villain's armguard, cutting them loose.

The effects of this act were immediately apparent, because as soon as the few wires were cut off from Malignus' armor, the glowing eyes of several dozen of his bugs on the brainwashed people's necks went out before dropping off the people's necks to the ground, thus freeing them from Malignus' control as their own eyes returned back to normal.

Immediately, just like with all those other previously brainwashed people back in the town, these people started to let out slumberous groans while either shaking their heads to get them clear or then they dropped on their knees to the floor while holding their heads with their hands. And soon afterwards, they began to look around them in confusion before starting to questioning their whereabouts, how they ended up in here or what was even happening.

On the platform, Arcee sent another slash at Malignus' head, though the villain ducked his head down, causing the turtle in pink to miss. However, Arcee ended up slashing her at several more wires attached to the villain's armor, cutting them loose and thus turning more of his bugs into off-line and freeing even more people from his control.

Arcee then spun around and kicked Malignus in the face with her left foot, causing him to stumble backwards and hit against several of his screens, that prevented him from falling off his platform.

"Time to finish this, fiend!" Arcee said, before the turtle in pink jumped up in the air, spun around and tried to slam her right leg down onto the villain's head to knock him out.

However, before the turtle in pink's finishing blow could hit him, Malignus grabbed with his left hand from Arcee's ankle while seizing her left arm with his right arm, and surprisingly held the turtle in pink effortlessly in the air despite his skinny and weak appearance.

"WHA...?!" Arcee gasped in surprise.

"Did you really think that I'd make my suit with the cheap work? Haven't you ever heard the old saying, "there is more than meets the eye"?!" Malignus asked mockingly.

Then the villain grabbed from Arcee's right leg with both hands and turned around, swinging the turtle in pink around her like the rag doll, before making her hit against some of his screen destroying them in the process.

"AGH!" Arcee groand upon impact against Malignus' screens, before the villain turned away from his destroyed screens and lifted her over his head, before he slammed her hard against his platform, with such of force that nearly knocked the wind out of the turtle in pink.

Lying exhausted and beaten on her shell on the platform, Arcee panted heavily and hoarshely, even coughing for couple times, while trying to catch her breath. However, Malignus gave her no chance before he turned around and dragged Arcee with her, pulling her behind his back.

Then the villain easily lifted her up and over his head with one hand before he slamming the turtle in pink hard on her chest to the edge of his platform.

As Arcee lied there in pain and defeated, Malignus let go of her foot but pressed his right talon-like leg against the turtle in pink's head, pinning it down.

"You put up a good fight, dear one, despite your arrogance." Malignus gloated as he knelt over Arcee. "And for that, my earlier offer is still on."

Malignus took one of his second-variant mind-control bugs and held it down near of Arcee's eyes for her to see it.

"Place in the ranks of my army of puppets, as my new jewel puppet." he added sinisterly.

Arcee gritted her teeth in anger and defiance and tried to get up from the platform, though Malignus foot kept her still and pinned against the platform.

"Never." she hissed in anger.

Malignus shrugged indifferently at Arcee's valiant defiance. "Too bad for you, my dear. With the free access my little bugs give me to people's minds without trouble or resistance, I don't even need your approval. Soon this will be over and you will obey my every command, whether you wanted to or not."

"NO!" Arcee cried as she continued to fight back, prompting Malignus to grab from her left shoulder and pressed it down to keep her still.

Malignus then started to carefully lower his second-variant bug down towards Arcee's neck to put her under his control.

"NOT SO FAST, MALIGNUS!" Silver Sentry's voice suddenly shouted, as the superhero bashed through the warehouse's doors. "LET TURTLE SIS TITAN GO, VILLAIN!"

Everybody in the warehouse, the freed and still brainwashed people, Arcee and Malignus turned to look at Silver Sentry as he hovered in the air by the doorway.

"Ah, Sentry, my old friend." Malignus addressed mockingly, as he let go of the turtle in pink, stood up and backed away to the middle of his platform, before he taunted the surperhero even more. "How it felt to do the things you despise the most against your will?"

"It's over, Malignus! You've lost!" Sentry declared, ignoring Malignus' question before he flew towards the villain.

"Only this round, Sentry!" Malignus taunted.

Suddenly, as the Silver Sentry was very close to grab on him, Malignus' platform started to descend down into the hidden elevator shaft, taking Malignus and Arcee down, with the former detaching himself from the rest of the wires. Caught off guard, Sentry crashed into the detached wires and get shocked by the electricity.

"BUT THE GAME WILL CONTINUE! MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAA!" Malignus laughed as the platform kept descending down to underground.

"What an over-confident muscle-bound fool! Doesn't he know I always have an escape plan under my sleeve?" Malignus asked tauntingly from himself.

"Just you wait, Malignus!" Arcee snarled as she tried to pull herself up from the platform with some effort. "You will not get away with everything you've done that easily!"

As Malignus' platform's elevator shaft descended to the sewers and opened him a doorway to escape to the tunnels, the villain turned to Arcee one more time.

"Well, if you still wish to try and stop me, Turtle Sis Titan, here's you last chance. Adios!" Malignus said, mockingly daring Arcee to try and stop him, before he turned around and started to run down the tunnel.

"COME BACK HERE, YOU FIEND!" Arcee cried after the villain.

"Don't you worry, my dear. We'll meet again... soon enough! Count on it!" the fleeing villain assured, as he looked back at Arcee over his right shoulder.(5)

"Yo, ugly!" someone called from the tunnel, making Malignus to stop in his tracks.

"What?!" Malignus gasped, seeing Mikey standing in front of him in wait, blocking his escape.

"Remember me?" Mikey asked teasingly, before the turtle in orange punched his palm with his fist.

Whether or not Malignus was surprised by what Mike really looked like under the superhero cape, Hood and mask, he either didn't show it or he didn't care. After all, he too was a pretty creepy looking enough for the regular people to consider him as a freak.

"Ah, Turtle Titan." Malignus said casually, still adressing Mikey with his superhero name. "Quite game you put up back up there, I'll give you that. the villain sneered, though not too congratulatingly.

"Well, thanks. The pleasure was all mine." Mikey thanked sarcastically.

"Well it doesn't matter anymore." Malignus said. "You're fool if you think that you can stop me from making my escape."

"Well, too bad for you, Malignus, the rules are different down here. These tunnels are my home ground, so I have the home advantage down here." the turtle in orange countered determinedly, though Malignus only laughed mockingly at this.

"MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAA! Arrogant fool! You're no match for me, as your over-confident partner already got to notice!" Malignus taunted. "How could you possibly think you can defeat the supervillain like Dr.-?!"

The villain was suddenly cut short when Arcee, fully recovered and back in the action, lunged at him from behind and kicked him in the back, causing the villain to stumble forward.

"NO!" Malignus cried in despair, as Mikey charged at him.

"HYAH!" the turtle in orange shouted as he jumped and kicked Malignus right in the face, knocking him back and towards Arcee, who grabbed from Malignus' suit with both hands

"You dared me to try to stop you, didn't you?" Arcee asked from Malignus, before the turtle in pink turned around and tossed the villain over her head and back into the elevator shaft, slamming the villain against the wall hard enough to knock the wind out of him, thus finishing the job.

"Ooh!" he groaned as he fell onto the platform, knocked out cold.

"What was it you said earlier about arrogance, huh?" Arcee tauntingly questioned and beaten villain. "Haven't you ever heard about the old saying, "he who digs a pit for others falls in himself".

"Yeah! Well said, sister." Mikey laughed, walking up to his sister.

Arcee then turned to her brother and looked him over, from head to toe, and took the note that Mikey was no longer wearing his Turtle Titan suit. Unlike her, as she was still wearing her own Turtle Sis Titan suit, though it was heavily torn into shreds from all sides during the battle, thus rendering it beyond repair.

"Well, I see that you finally chose the path that is true to you, bro." Arcee inquired with the knowing smile.

"Yeah. You, Master Splinter and Silver Sentry were all right all along. I guess I was way strayed from my own path while chasing wild dreams, until I finally came to realize through the hard way that who I truly am. I am a ninja turtle, and my true strength, my true superhero power, is within the shadows, not in the open." Mikey confessed sincerely.

Arcee nodded in understanding, glad that Mikey had finally come to realize that on his own.

"But I like it that way!" Mikey quickly added. "After all, who needs a shield, ropes, grappling hooks and capes anyway when there is the basic ways to knock the lights out from the bad guys?" the turtle in orange rhetorically asked.

"Well, took you long enough." Arcee said jokingly, before she gently put her left hand over Mikey's right shoulder. "But I'm proud of you, little brother."

"Thanks, Arcee." Mikey said, moved by his sister's words.

###

Later, after an anonymous call to the NCPD, the police had arrived and immediately raided the whole warehouse. With the lights of dozens of police lights flashing red in the area, most of the police escorted all the civilians and professionals freed from Malignus' control away from the warehouse before taking them all back to their homes, while the rest of them dragged the newly arrested Malignus, who was strapped to a straitjacket bed, into an armored police car.

From the top of the warehouse, Mikey and Arcee, with the latter having casted away her own torn superhero suit, watched the scene down below. Arcee was particularly happy to see Malignus being dragged into the van before he was taken away and behind the bars where the scum like him belonged.

"You're righ, Malignus. We'll meet again... but luckily not for the long time." Arcee said down to the villain.(5)

Silver Sentry then joined the two, making the turtles to turn to him as the superhero hovered in the air.

"Thanks for the help. Even though you two did disobey my order earlier, you made the right call to come to the aid nonetheless." Sentry said, thanking the two one more time.

"Hey, it was actually his call to come to your aid. I was just followed his lead, as a loyal sister and sidekick." Arcee said, pointing at Mikey with her thump, earning a smile from Mikey.

"Well, Malignus was right about one thing nonetheless, "there is more than meets the eye"." Sentry said, as he landed to the roof next to the turtles. "I may have underestimated you two at first, but even I can see now that there's more potential in you than meets the eye. And for that, you're welcome to team up with me anytime, Turtle Titan and Turtle Sis Titan. You have earned your super hero team-up, just like you wanted."

"Thank you, Silver Sentry, but I have to decline the offer. From now on, I'll leave the limelight to guys like you." Mikey said politely, as he turned to Silver Sentry.

"Hmm, that's pity." Sentry replied, though understanding. "You could have done a lot of good for this town out in the open."

"Well, thanks to Malignus, it didn't quite go as planned." Arcee said. "So maybe it's just best for us to stay out of the open."

"Yeah. You see, I have come to realize who I am. I'm Michelangelo, a ninja turtle, and that I can do a lot more good for this town in the shadows." Mikey said.

"Words of wisdom, partner." Sentry said proudly.

Arcee then looked down at the scene below, as the police van containing Malignus drove off. However, the police van was soon replaced by two other vans from New York's TV station, which parked next to the warehouse and several other police cars. Once the vans had stopped and opened the back and side doors, several news reporters and their cameramen - except the news reporter and his cameraman who were amongst those enslaved by Maligus - immediately poured out and began to take the ground. Some of them even started interviewing the police officers and several from Malignus' control freed civilians.

An idea came to Arcee's mind. Even though she was glad that Mikey had once again chosen the path of the ninja, she wanted her baby brother to be proud of at least some of his achievements tonight while chasing his superhero career throughout the town. The turtle in pink then turned to Sentry.

"Silver Sentry? Can you do us a little favor here though?" the turtle in pink asked.

Silver Sentry nodded in agreement. "That'll be the least I can do for you two. Just name it.

Arcee then proceeded to tell Silver Sentry that what kind of favor she wanted him to do for them.

###

Back in the lair's Dōjō, the rest of the turtles were sitting around of Master Splinter on the red carpet, as their sensei was giving them another lesson after they'd finished with the previous one.

"And so, my children, we'll practice with our moves very slowly so that we may execute them with great speed." he explained to them.

Before they could continue, they all heard the front door of their home being lifted open, before Mikey and Arcee stepped in.

"Hey, what do you know! It's super-Mikey and his loyal sidekick Arcee!" Raph let out, as all the turtles got up.

The rest of the turtles then run to Mikey and Arcee to greet him... and to tease him more about his earlier dreams. And this time, they also started to tease Arcee as well.

"Superheroes Michelangelo and Artemisia, returning from their night patrol to the secret turtle cave headquarters." Donnie said teasingly.

"Well, are you two expecting to be in the headlines in tommorow's news papers?" Raph asked. "What name they're going to give to you two? Is it going to be something like: Turtleman & She-Robin?"(6)

"How it went up there? Tell us! How many people you two managed to rescue... or more likely, scare away?" Mary asked, lightly elbowing both Mikey and Arcee in their left sides.

"Ooh! Help me! Help me! I'm a damsel in the distress and about to get muggered! Who's gonna save me?!" Louie cried dramatically, trying to imitate a female voice while holding his left hand over his forehead like the damsel in distress.

Louie then purposelly and without warning fell backwards and right into Dom's arms, who gasped in surprise and immediately caught the turtle in black into his arms.

However, Louie kept teasing Mikey and Arcee by still pretenting to be a damsel in distress, much to Dom's displeasure.

"Oh, I've been caught by evil and ugly mugger Dom here! I only wish for superheroes Michelangelo and Artimesia to come to save me! Oh, where are you two?!Save me! Save me, my heroes!" Louie kept crying dramatically with a female voice, earning laughs from Raph, Donnie and Mary.

"Evil and ugly mugger Dom." an irritated Dom muttered with lower high-pitched voice. "Evil and ugly mugger Dom, indeed."

Dom them proceeded to unceremoniously drop Louie to the floor.

"Ouch!" Louie cried as he hit the floor.

Dom then turned to both Mikey and Arcee.

"You better not have gone through with your wild dreams, Mikey!" the turtle in white said seriously. "If I find out that you went foolishly out in the open up there just to prove yourself to be some superhero-wannabe with his head full of some crazy dreams, your shell is mine!"

However, Mikey and Arcee just kept walking side by side towards the Lair's entertaining area, not paying a mind to the other's teasing or Dom's harsh lecturing.

"So, how's life in the funny books?" Leo asked next, as the turtles entered to the entertaining area.

However, neither Mikey or Arcee responded to that. The two turtles in orange and pink just sat down to the couch, with Mikey picking the remote control up from the couch and turned the TV-set's big screen on, showing a news reporter in the blue suit and brown spiky haircut named Alex Carlin at the warehouse, holding the mike close of his mouth.

"At a Brooklyn warehouse where the town's well-known superhero, Silver Sentry, has once again defeated and captured the notorious criminal mastermind known as Dr. Malignus, who will soon be sent to Attica Correctional Facility." Alex said, as the police officers were dragging Malignus away in the background.

The reporter then turned to Silver Sentry, who was standing next to him.

"Any comments on the incident, Silver Sentry? Can you tell us that how did you managed to defeat your arch-nemesis this time?" he asked as he held the mike closer of Silver Sentry.

"I just want to say that this time I couldn't have done it without the help of my new friends and allies, Turtle Titan and Turtle Sis Titan." Sentry answered.

Alex looked surprised by the answer, as he pulled the mike back. "Turtle Titan and Turtle Sis Titan? Who are they if may I ask?"

"Newest superheroes in this town. And tonight, they have done more for the good of the city than what even I have. For example, They saved a kid from being hit by a truck..." Silver Sentry said, as he started to list the good deeds Mikey and Arcee had done tonight... out of Arcee's request.

And immediately after saying that, the screen split in half. The upper screen showed Silver Sentry's face while the lower screen showed the familiar scene of the heavy traffic (possibly filmed by some surveillance camera), where that kid Mikey had rescued earlier was standing in middle of the traffic until Mikey and Arcee, in their superhero suits, swooped down by the rope and picked the kid off the road before he was hit by the large truck.

"...Then they rescued the family, a couple with the baby, from falling down drom the top of the building..."

The lower screen then showed the familiar scene, where the family had jumped off from the top of the tall building. Someone had filmed the entire scene from street level, starting from where the family had jumped off the roof of the tall building and fell down towards the street, until Mikey and Arcee jumped off the roof of the opposite building and caught the family just in time, before they crashed through the tall building's windows.

"...Then they stopped the robbery on Crazy Manny's Electronics..."

The lower screen showed the recorded video, where the police was escording those two familiar thugs, who were robbing Crazy Manny's store along with the brainwashed Manny, into the police car in front of the Manny's store.

"...and finally, they stopped the bus that had gone rogue, and rescued a lot of innocent lives."

And finally, the lower screen showed the scene where the rogue bus was driving wildly down the street while bashing the cars, knocking down the street lights and endangering the innocent lives, while Mikey and Arcee were swooping down by the ropes, picking up all those people who hadn't gone out of the bus' way in time.

The lower screen then filled the entire screen as it showed two familiar people: A lady with the shoulder-length orange-red hair and in the red suit, whom Arcee had rescued earlier, holding her five-six years old red-haired girl in her arms, as they were interviewed by another news reporter.

"The one who saved me from the bus called himself "friendly neighborhood's Turtle Titan"! And the other one who saved my mon called herself his "loyal sidekick, Turtle Sis Titan"!" the girl told to the mike, before she turned to hug her mom.

The girl's mother then spoke next as the mike was turned to her. "I know all of that may sound crazy, but it is true. Whoever those two were, they did indeed save mine and my precious daughter's life. Without them neither me or my little treasure won't be here right now."

The mother and daughter then turned to the camera with the grateful smiles. "Turtle Titan and Turtle Sis Titan? If your're watching this... thank you for saving mine and my little daughter's lives. Say 'thank you', dear." the mother told to her daughter.

"Thank you, Turtle Titan and Turtle Sis Titan." the little girl said, waving at the camera.

Both Mikey's and Arcee's smiled widely, deeply moved by the mother's and daughter's gratitude, as the screen returned back to the news reporter and Silver Sentry back at the Brooklyn warehouse.

"Well, that was something." Alex said, being left speechless by all the good deeds Mikey and Arcee, a.k.a Turtle Titan Duo, had done to the city in just one night. Alex Carlin then cleared his throat to ask the next question.

"Well, Silver Sentry, what else can you tell us about these new superheroes? Where are they now?" the reporter asked.

"They have gone into hiding. But we will see them again, in time. As they told me, "they can do a lot more good for this town in the shadows"."

Mikey then turned the TV off, leaving both him and Arcee very proud of their achievements... while the other turtles watched with the surprised looks on their faces.

"Turtle Titan and Turtle Sis Titan?" Louie inquired, turning to Mikey.

"Mikey? Arcee? Was Silver Sentry talking about you two?" Leo asked, intrigued.

"Were they you two who did all those good deeds?" Mary asked, pointing at the TV.

Mikey and Arcee then glanced at each other sideways, before giving each other a knowing smiles, silently agreeing to keep everything that had happened tonight to themselves instead of telling anything to their intrigued brothers and sisters. With that, they both got up from the couch and turned to their siblings.

"Don't know what you guys are talking about. Those guys in TV, they must be somebody else chasing the wild dreams." Arcee said innocently.

"Yeah. We're ninja turtles, not Turtle Titan Duo." Mikey said, shrugging his shoulders.

"So, who's ready to get back to training?" Mikey asked, eager to go back to training session with his brothers and sister, before he turned to Splinter and bowed to him.

Mikey then walked from the entertaining area and headed towards the Dōjō, followed by his brothers and sisters. However, Arcee was about to follow her siblings, until Master Splinter quickly grabbed from her shoulder and made her to stop. Slightly confused, Arcee turned to Splinter, who looked at her daughter with the knowing smile.

"I see that you and Michelangelo had quite an adventure up there. That was not what I expected when I sent you to watch after him and guide him. But whatever happened there, I'm glad that Michelangelo is back on the path that is true to him. Well done, Artemisia. I'm proud of you, my daughter." Splinter said proudly.

"Nah, It wasn't because of me at all, Sensei. I might have given him some advice, but otherwise Mikey learned that all by himself... through the hard way of course." Arcee corrected, giving all the credit to Mikey.

Arcee and Splinter then looked together at the Dōjō, where the rest of the turtles had started sparring with each other. Arcee's eyes were particularly fixed on Mikey, while wearing the smile on her face.

"Others can say about Mikey whatever they want: An annoying thorn in one's shell, the guy with his heads in the clouds, or just an overall clown and shell-for-brain. But one thing is a sure thing about him: Whenever Mikey becomes devoted to follow something that is true to his heart, he'll be way wiser than meets the eyes and even mightier than even the mightiest superhero in the world." Arcee told to her father.

"And that makes Mikey MY superhero. I'm proud to have a brother like him. And I'm proud to call myself his sister." Arcee added with smile.

Splinter smiled proudly at Arcee's words.

THE END

TRIVIA

1) I based Malignus' "zombie" minions appearing from all around of the warehouse and surrounding Mikey and Arcee to the scene from the Resident Evil 2002 movie, where the survivors (Alice, Rain, Matt, J.D., Kaplan and Spence) end up surrounded by the Hive zombies. The brainwashed fireman dragging the axe against the ground was based on one of the zombies who dragged the fire axe along the floor in the film and the brainwashed nurse with unkept hair was based on the film's very first seen "female zombie".

2) I named the pizzaboy as Kevin, and he is based on both to the pizza deliver from TMNT film 1990 and the pizza deliver named Kevin from TMNT: Out of the Shadows 2016 film.

3) The line "Black-and-blue clashes with green!" is taken from TMNT 2007 film, where Mikey says that line while portraying as "Cowabunga Carl" in someone's birthday party and gets beaten by the children.

4) Reference of Super Mario.

5) I'm planning for the original episode/chapter for Dr. Malignus' return and clash with Arcee again.

6) Reference of Batman and Robin.
