Anger is Color Mysticon Red!
The eight teen Mysticons are seen having a stakeout on top of a building while keeping a watch out on one warehouse as also happens to be a lab as they were informed that the Kraang might go there to break in. They decided to take the opportunity to check it out to see they will come because April was the one who told them about it and hopes they can find something like where her dad is being held.
"Anything?" Leo asked Donnie.
"Nothing yet." Donnie answered.
"I hope this isn't one of those false gossip things, I hate it when people say things that aren't true in the end just to make things more interesting." Emerald grunted.
"Don't worry, this is one of those abandoned buildings in town, it's the perfect cover for the Kraang to hide out." Arkayna stated.
"And when we see them come out, we'll wipe them clear off the street." Zarya added.
Meanwhile, Piper and Mikey were feeling bored of the stakeout as they decided to play around with Raph a little while he is resting himself a bit for the action, the two goofs poke him a few times to see his reaction by smacking their hands away. When Mikey pokes him again, Raph grabs his finger tightly nearly breaking it as Mikey screams quickly retreated his finger.
"Guys, we're on a stakeout and as ninjas, we're suppose to be silences." Leo reminded them whispering.
"Blame the boredom of the stakeout." Piper rolled her eyes.
"Not everything has to be loud and exciting for most superheroes like the ones in the comic books, even they have to be patient." Arkayna pointed out.
"Okay, we'll try to be quiet." Mikey said.
"Hey, how about we poke Raph on the head one more time?" Mikey suggested.
"Cool, we'll do it at the same time!" Piper nodded.
"One. Two. Three!" Mikey and Piper poked Ralph on the head again, then Raph throws them over and breaking a satellite dish.
"Alright, you two. Say it." Raph holds Mikey and Piper and headlocks.
"Raph, I said silence." Leo said.
"Not until they said it together." Raph tighten his hold on them.
"Raphael is all wise and powerful and he is better than me in every single, possible way!" Mikey and Piper said together in pain.
"And?" Raph pinned the two down on the roof-floor, but then Zarya pushes him off of them.
"And nothing. Seriously Raph, they're just trying to pass the time." Zarya said as she helps Piper and Mikey up.
"Oh yeah, well, you spoil them too much like that time you let them go off do grocery because you thought they could handle it." Raph remembered that time.
"Hey, it's not our fault the guys we were hanging out with were bank robbers." Mikey protested.
"Yeah, they were nice enough to give us snacks and a free ride around town." Piper nodded with her arms cross.
"A free ride that includes getting chase by the police." Raph growled.
"At least they came back okay with the groceries." Zarya countered.
"Guys, seriously, can we just get through this without any"
"What the heck is going on here!"
"…Distraction." Leo sighed.
The eight heroes turn to a man coming out of the roof escape door looking angry.
This man is overweight and wears a white tank top, blue pants and has gray hair partly covering his head.
"Oh, it's the Mysticons." The overweight man said in a low, unamused tone.
"Greeting, fair citizen, thou enjoying the night?" Emerald greeted in her knightly tone.
"I was watching my favorite horror action movie until the screen went all fizzy, and now I see it's because you guys trashed my satellite dish!" The overweight man gestured his hands at the broken dish.
"And we are very sorry for the Mister, I promise as a knight we will fix it." Emerald promised.
"We will?" Raph asked.
"No thanks, I don't any help from some blinded, rainbow wearing, pajama wearing kids. And the name's Vic." Vic said also revealing his name.
"Believe me, we got more important things to do than dish repairs. Vicky." Raph smirked.
"DON'T CALL ME VICKY!" Vic shouted in rage.
"I hated that stupid name ever since my mom gave me that name all because she wanted a girl as her first child." Vic mentioned in anger.
"So, do you have a sister?" Mikey asked.
"Yes, but she got the name Joe which should have been my name, but no she didn't want to switch them legally because it was expensive." Vic explained.
"Wow, sounds like you don't love you mom very much." Zarya noticed the tone in the man's voice.
"Oh, like your mom lets go running around in those stupid garbage robes." Vic mocked the Mysticons' uniforms.
"Hey, these are the symbol of the great heroes who saved our realm centuries ago, so try to be a little grateful that we're keeping others like you safe." Raph pointed out feeling his anger raising up.
"Like I need to be save from a poorly dress kung-fu frog!" Vic insulted.
"Oh no, not again." Zarya muttered.
"That's it, you're dead!" Raph tried to jump at Vic, but his fellow turtle Mysticons held him back while Vic kept on throwing insults. Blind by rage, Raph accidently smack Emeald down with the backhand of his claws.
Unnoticed to them during all the commotion, ten Kraang disguised men have arrived at the warehouse just as April predicted and as they were about to head inside, they hear some noises coming from the rooftop where the Mysticons are.
"Kraang, it would seem that the eight enemies known as the Mysticons are up on that rooftop." One Kraang said.
"Indeed, Kraang, perhaps the eight enemies known as the Mysticons are here to ambush us known as the Kraang." Second Kraang guessed.
"Then perhaps we shall go and give the eight enemies known as the Mysticons a greeting and a goodbye from our blasters." Third Kraang suggested.
"We agree to that plan suggested by Kraang." Fourth and Fifth Kraang agreed as the other five also agree.
"Then let us go." First Kraang said as they ready their blasters and made their way to the rooftop by climbing the escape ladder.
The Kraang see the Mysticons and one overweight human appears to be in an argument, Second Kraang fires a blaster at one of the Mysticons for a sneak attack, but Emerlad was able to see that coming and protects them with her magic shield.
"Kraangs are here!" Emerald alerted the others.
"Finally! Something worth my time!" Raph charged at the Kraangs while dodging their blasters.
"Oh, oh, I have got to get a picture of this." Vic pulled out his magic phone and took pictures of the fight including the Kraang.
"Hey, fatso, if you don't want to be their next dinner meal then get out of here." Raph warned.
"Oh yeah, like I can feel safe with idiot 10-year-olds around." Vic insulted.
"I'm 15!" Raph jumped at Vic and punched him in the face that sent him rolling down the staircase of the building.
"Raph!" Arkayna yelled after blasting one Kraang away.
"Kraang, we must make a retreat because the overweight human took a picture of us during the fight." Eighth Kraang alerted the Fifth Kraang.
"Very well, we will hold on destroying the eight enemies known at the Mysticons for now." Fifth Kraang said and most of the Kraang ran away as three of them were defeated.
"Hey, get back here!" Raph shouted trying to chase after them but found that they are gone.
"Oh, come on!" Raph yelled.
"Forget it, Raph. Let just head back to the lair and report to Malvaron and Splinter." Leo said.
(Mysticons Stronghold)
"Hmm, I see." Splinter nodded as he and Malvaron have heard the whole story.
"So, the Kraang not only got away but Raph also hurt a civilian he is supposes to be protecting just because of a few insults?" Malvaron asked glaring at Raph.
"Hey, that guy was the biggest jerk you could ever meet, and I only kicked him because he was taking pictures." Raph mentioned.
"But you didn't have to kick him like that." Arkayna stated.
"I think we need to do a little training." Splinter decided.
Soon, everyone is in the training room as seven of the Mysticon Ninjas are aiming their suction-cup arrows at Raph who is in the certain as they circle around him.
"Rapheal, dodge the arrows." Splinter ordered.
"Okay." Raph shrugged.
Everyone start shooting their arrows Raph who uses his fast reflexes and reaction time to dodge the arrows coming at him, Zaryna being the better archer than the others had some close calls in getting a mark on Raph.
"YA ME!" Splinter yelled to stop the training session.
"Now, fire the arrows again and this time, insult Rapheal." Splinter said.
"Wait, did you say insult, Raph?" Donnie asked.
"Yes." Splinter nodded.
"And he's not allows to fight back?" Mikey asked, Splinter nods.
"Oh, oh, I've been waiting for years for this." Mikey grinned.
"Try not to trip on your fat toes." Mikey insulted as he shot an arrow.
"Hey, my toes aren't fat." Raph yelled as he dodges it.
"But your fat butt is." Piper insulted as she got Raph on the back.
"That is if we see your butt, is it even real in that shell of yours?" Arkayna mocked as she shot the arrow on Raph's shoulder.
"My butt is real!" Raph yelled.
"You can't help but wince like a baby, like right now." Leo insulted as he shot Raph on the shell.
"Oh, are you crying because your shell has some cracks?" Zarya asked mocking.
"You've always been stupid to understand even the basic of things." Donnie laughed.
"You move like an old lady who farting in the bathroom." Emerald mocked, though whisperingly apologizes.
More insults came at Raph as he gets struck by more arrows until he snaps roaring in rage then got hit in the face by an arrow and he fell.
"I wish this moment would last forever." Mikey sighed.
"Forget this, this is stupid!" Raph angered, throwing down his twin Sais.
"It didn't." Piper deadpanned.
"A warrior must be able to endure the insult and humiliation. You cannot be a warrior, just less a Mysticon if you cannot master this. Understand?" Splinter lectured.
Piper and Mikey giggles which made Raph angry at them.
"Understand!" Splinter repeated in a louder strict tone.
"Hai, Sensei." Raph sighed.
"Until then, you will stay here while the others go to find the Kraang." Splinter ordered shocking Raph.
"He's right, you can't focus when you're angry and you attack Emerald back on the rooftop." Malvaron pointed out.
"I'm okay, in case you were wondering." Emerald said.
"We actually talked about this with Sensei and Malvaron, we're just worry that might do more than what you did with Emerald." Leo stated.
"She doesn't even have a scratch." Raph said.
"But you still hurt your own teammate, your Mysticon sister." Arkayna reminded him.
"Sorry Raph, but I'm gonna have to agree with them here. Even I get scared by your anger sometimes." Zarya mentioned.
"This is stupid!" Raph marched out of the training room as Zarya becomes sad for him.
(The Next Night)
Raph is seen sitting on the couch of the hideout with his pet turtle Spike eating a leaf while the others are away trying to track down the Kraang.
"I understand where you are coming from, Rapheal." Splinter said appearing behind Raph as he is spook.
"Sheesh, can't you just walk in front of me or something?" Raph asked.
"Let me tell you a story." Splinter offered some wisdom.
"Sensei, I'm not really in the mood for a story." Raph said.
"Spike, chew on your leaf if you're in the mood for a story." Splinter said, which Spike did, Raph tries to walk away, but the rat man stops him.
"When I was a young man, I fell in love with a woman, her name was Tang Shen. And I was not the only man who loved her. There was another competing over for her attention, Oroku Saki" Splinter started his story as he sat next to Raph.
"The Shredder?" Raph remembered Leo telling about this once.
"One day, he insulted me in front of her. He called me many things. I felt I could not let those insults go unanswered. I lost my temper. And over time, our rivalry festered into hatred. Until Shredder sought to finish me off. And I lost my beloved Tang Shen." Splinter explained with a sad expression.
"But it wasn't your fault. Shredder insulted you... you had no choice." Raph stated.
"No choice?" Splinter's eyes widen.
"I could have chosen to ignore him. I could have chosen to let his words wash over me like a river over stone, but I let him anger me. It was I who made his words into weapons. That's the choice I made. What choice will you make?" Splinter asked with a hand on Raph's shoulder before leaving.
Raph done some thinking and started to understand what Splinter is saying and how his anger effects the team.
(With the other Mysticons)
The seven Mysticons are seen moving from rooftop to rooftop until they arrive at the building where they spotted the Kraang group with a large machine, and to their shock Vic is there too.
"What is that guy doing here?" Zarya asked.
"It must be because he took some pictures of the fight last night." Donnie figured.
"Then we better get him out of here and fast." Arkyna said.
The girls and turtle boys are sneaking their behind some large wooden boxes while Vic is trying to bargain with them about his phone with the Kraangs' pictures as it's not going as well, just as Mikey use his chain nun-chuck to get Vic away from the Kraangs.
"AH! Mystic frog!" Vic yelled, getting the Kraagn's attention and spotted the Mysticons.
"I am really questioning on who we save." Piper said before they jump out to fight the Kraang.
While this is going on, Vic try to get his phone back while still being tied up in a chair and the fighting happening all around him though he didn't care then got accidentally push by Zarya's back as she jumps backward. Vic found himself under the machine he manages to get his phone back, but one stray laser blast hit the glass part of the machine containing the mutagen broke it and it fell on Vic causing him to scream.
"Was that Vic?" Mikey asked.
"Oh, Ninja Mountain!" Emerald alerted.
"I think I know what's about to happen next." Donnie gulped.
Then came out long back leg-like spear pierced one Kraang throwing it away and came out is Vic as a big mutant spider.
Now Vice is round, black and has red markings with orange outlines, 6 eyes with some in between the legs, sharp fangs, mutegenic claws and 4 spider legs with mutagenic appendages on his head.
"Look what you kids done to me, I'm hideous!" Vic shocked.
"Well, you were never good looking to begin with." Zarya mocked.
The Mysticons fought off Vic in his new spider form though getting close to him to land a good hit was hard as his new spider legs keep them at bay and knocking them away, Zarya zaps him with her magic arrow though it only makes him angry.
"Man, this bug is hard to squish." Piper surprised.
"Actually, spiders aren't bugs, they're" Donnie's explanation on spiders was cut off when he grabs by Vic's appendages and thrown away.
Vic then start spitting dangerous acid that melts through the floor.
"Whoa, Spider Bytez can sure spray it." Mikey surprised.
"Spider Bytez?" Emerald asked.
"Thought we should give him a new name since he's a spider and all." Mikey explained.
"And you guys are the reason for this." Spider Bytez angered.
"Now, I didn't think this guy could get any uglier." Raph showed up and kick Spider Bytez in the back.
"Raph!" Everyone cheered.
"Oh look, it's the kung-fu frog with the salad tongue." Spider Bytez mocked.
"And you're about to get your butt kick." Raph proclaimed.
"Ha! I've been wanting payback for that kick you gave me. Ribbit, ribbit, weak frog." Spider Bytez mocked more.
However, Raph took Splinter's advise of letting the insults be like a river over stones and took a breath to certain himself before charge at the big spider mutant landing some hard hits and knock him away.
"That's some kung-fu, frog." Spider Bytez commented.
"I'm no frog, I'm a Mysticon." Raph stated as he and the others started attacking Spider Bytez together and pushing him to a corner.
Zarya fires three magic arrows wrapping around the legs on his head and his other limbs to keep him from moving.
"And here!" Emerald trapped Spider Bytez in her forcefield bubble.
"Don't worry, I'm sure the Astromancers will turn you back to normal once you are taken by the police." Emerald promised.
"The Astromancers, polices! You got to be kidding me! You idiots are the ones who did this to me! I swear, I will get my revenge on you!" Spider Bytez angered as the Mysticons set him outside for the authorities to take him away.
"Nice job, Raph. I'm proud of you!" Zarya placed a hand on Raph's shoulder.
"Thanks."
"Yeah, not bad for a buffalo airhead." Mikey chuckled.
"Totally, we would have been all "Webbed" if you didn't show up." Piper joked.
Raph decided to take Piper and Mikey in his strong head lock hold forcing them to say he is much better than them in every way.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
The Mysticons had some trouble dealing with the Kraang, a guy with a bad insulting mouth and turning into a big mutant spider, and Raph's anger that could have gotten his team in trouble if not for Splinter's advise and story to help the red ninja turtle. Although, Raph won't be the only one with anger issues later in the story, but next time it'll be Piper's turn to get her Codex.
KO comment, favorite, and follow through of how far this story will go!
