Danger of the Dorky Mechanical Stockman
Morning has come and it is time for the ninja training for the Mysticons to continue being the protector of Drake City, but something odd is going on with the young heroes.
"Master Splinter, does today's training look a little… tiring? I don't mean about me getting sleepy." Malvaron asked.
What Malvaron is talking is how the eight Mysticons aren't doing the moves they were instructed by the rat master to do, only they're doing it half bake or lower than that as their movements appears to be most likely slower less energetic as they should be.
"Yes, this is quite disturbing." Splinter nodded.
"Knees higher, Leonardo! Extend, Michelangelo! Raphael, you call that a Koho Tenkai? Because I do not! Even baby snakes can strike harder than that, Zarya! Arkyna, your footing must be firmer than that!" Splinter shouted at his students.
"Okay, Ya-Me!" Malvaron decided to call the Mysticons in.
"Hmm, is there something you want to tell us?" Splinter asked.
"Something we wanna tell you? Nope." Mikey chuckled.
"Nope. Nothing comes to mind." Piper knocked on her head.
"Are you sure you guys are okay because it looks like you guys have suddenly exhausted, and we've only been doing the warmups." Malvaron concerned.
"What? What gave you an idea like that?" Arkyna chuckled trying to look more wake than her exhaustion can take over.
"Nothing's wrong with us." Leo said nervously.
"We're fresh as"
"Daisies." Ralph finished Zarya's sentence.
"I can assure you two we are fully awake and not sleepy for probably not sleeping mostly last night." Emerald chuckled causing Ralph to facepalm himself.
"Leo, you're talking to Donnie." Malvaron corrected as Leo's eyes are going a bit blurry, then Mikey and Piper let out a big yawn before falling over to sleep for a second.
"So, you would not object to a little Randori." Splinter brought out a wooden katana sword.
"Can we just"
But Leo didn't get a say in the matter Splinter has already carried out the Randori punishment giving the Mysticons a good beating for only a few seconds.
"I hope you have learned, turtles and girls, that truth isn't the only thing that hurts." Splinter scolded before walking away.
"Okay, guess we're calling it off for today and hopefully by tomorrow you eight will be really ready for training because there is this little magic trick I thought of teaching." Malvaron mentioned as he walks away with Splinter.
The eight Mysticons are now hanging out at the living room with Leo watching his favorite space show while Zarya and Ralph are playing a little paper football with their feet, and Zarya scored a goal.
"Oh yeah, eat that!" Zarya cheered.
"We interrupt this program to bring you breaking news. We've received shocking footage of an assault on the T.C.R.I office complex in Brooklyn." The news channel came into view.
"Oh, some action." Zarya excited.
When the news showed the footage of the attacker destroying the office complex, the Mysticons all became shocked of seeing it's the very same lousy robber from last night with the lousy makeshift armor. Only this time it would appear that he done some major upgrades on his armor and looking so advance in a short amount of time.
"No way, it's the guy Mikey and I felt a little sorry for." Piper shocked.
"Wasn't his name Baxter Stockme?" Donnie tried to remember the guy's name right.
"No, no, silly. It was Baxter Stockman." Piper corrected.
"Hey everyone, it's Baxter Stockman!" One employee shouted at his fellow co-workers.
"See." Piper grinned making Donnie to roll his eyes.
"That suit of his somehow looks better than before. How did that happen?" Emerald wondered.
That is when her answer into view with footage showing the chest of the armor that looks very familiar like the MTPod, and most of the Mysticons can see that it is most likely the pod which they all stare angry at Mikey and Piper who flinches in fear a little.
"He has the MTPod?" Donnie asked angry.
"Would you two mind telling us how that happened?" Zarya asked with her arms cross.
"Oh well, you see. I'm totally sure Piper had the pod secured." Mikey tried to defend for his big sister.
"But it looks like all that fighting must have knocked it out and I dropped it." Piper finished looking a little scared.
"You dropped it during the fight? Nice going, Piper!" Donnie yelled in anger.
"Well, it's all your fault!" Mikey yelled back.
"My fault?" Donnie confused.
"You know we can't be trusted with nice things. What did you think it would happen when you gave us the MTPod?" Piper pointed out only to got very anger stares from Donnie.
"Easy there, Donnie. I'm sure they didn't mean to lose the pod; the battle was sudden." Emerald tried to calm her brother down.
"So the A.I. chip is upgrading his armor the same way it upgraded the MTpod?" Leo asked.
"Yeah, that chip likely will keep growing more and more until who knows how when it'll reach its limit." Emerald worried.
"And there's no telling how powerful Baxter will become if we allow him to keep that chip longer." Donnie added.
"Okay, this is really freaking out my pixie mind. We got to tell Master Splinter and Malvaron about this." Arkyna decided it's time to stop hiding from the truth.
"Are you crazy, princess? I think Master Splinter hit you on the hit WAY too hard earlier!" Zarya said tapping on her own head.
"Yeah, so we turned one guy into a super villain. Do you know what he'll do to us for that? I mean, he pounded us into the ground just for being sleepy!" Ralph reminded him of the punishment.
"My body still hurts from that." Emerald groaned, rubbing on her butt.
"Look, we beat Stockman once, we can beat him again. We track him down, grab the Tpod, and get back here before Splinter knows anything." Donnie planned.
"He's right, the guy was a totally loser just last night and I'm sure it'll be the same." Zarya added.
"If our opinion counts, Donnie and Zarya are totally right." Mikey said while he and Piper are reading a comic book together upside-down on a beanbag.
"Hey, thanks, Mikey. But it doesn't." Donnie said, then got elbow on the side by Emerald.
"Donnie, they were being supportive." Emerald scolded.
"Then maybe they can be supportive of getting back our MTPod from that loser." Zarya said.
"We will, promise!" Piper nodded.
(With Baxter)
Baxter is hiding out in an abandoned building that is believed to be the perfect hiding place from the police after trashing the office complex to get his revenge on everyone.
Now he is doing something very important for his next revenge plan against the world.
"I'm not Baxter Stockman. I am the Baxman! No, no, I am- I am the Suitinator! Aw, that's terrible! Captain Punch-You-Hard! Why is this so difficult?" Baxter struggled to pick a villain name for himself.
Unnoticed to him, the eight Mysticons have already managed to track him down and snuck their way inside the abandoned building.
"I kinda liked "the Suitinator"." Mikey said.
"I don't know, maybe he should go for the "Bax-Terminator" instead." Piper commented.
"What? You guys again?" Baxter gasped upon realizing the Mysticons are here.
"Easy Stockman." Dragon Mage said.
"We don't want to hurt you." Wind Ninja added.
"We don't? Did I miss a meeting?" Fire Ninja asked.
"Look bub, just give us back our pod now!" Ranger demanded.
"Give up my source of power? Why? So you can laugh at me again? Throw me in a dumpster?" Baxter angered.
"Sounds good to me." Fire Ninja smirked and charges at Baxter only to be punch hard to a wall.
"Oh no, you didn't!" Ranger glared and fired some magic arrows.
The arrows didn't do much except making Baxter angry and saw the other Mysticons charging at him, but he smirks and spins his body with the robotic arms expanding the length to smack them into the wall except for Wind Ninja and Dragon Mage running at him. Dragon Mage unleashes some fireballs for a distraction while Wind Ninja slices one arm then the others, only for the arms to grow back in a second or two.
Dragon Mage turns around seeing one of the served hands now moving and about to latch onto Wind Ninja.
"Wind Ninja, look out!" Dragon Mage pushed her brother out of the way and got latched on by the hand.
"Oh no!" Leo gasped.
She tries to get it off though couldn't and glows her body red making her run towards the other Mysticons such as Knight and Fire Ninja, and the robotic hand pop up a head firing lasers at the two as Knight quickly brought out her shield.
"We got to help her." Knight stated.
"Like how?" Ralph asked.
"Hey, try distracting it while I shot it off." Ranger said as she got one magic arrow ready.
"I can do distracting." Fire Ninja smirked and charges at the robotic hand.
"Don't hurt her too much!" Knight pleaded as she follows the Mysticon Fire Ninja.
Piper and Mikey enter the fray to attack Baxter together with the Forest Ninja wrapping his chain around the body and the Striker trapping both legs with one ring, but Baxter easily broke free from the ring with the legs glowing electric red and spins really fast dragging both Striker and Forest Ninja around like a crazy amusement park ride.
Fire Ninja and Knight are moving around fast avoiding the laser firing while Ranger takes aim carefully, Fire Ninja kick the robotic hand which Ranger took this as a chance to fire destroying the tiny head and Wind Ninja came in slicing the thing off from Dragon Mage.
"Thanks, I was getting a headache." Dragon Mage groaned.
Suddenly Mountain Ninja came crashing in after being smacked away by Baxter using Forest Ninja and Striker as swinging weapons, but that was short-lived when Ranger shot the chain freeing the two and Mountain Ninja slash his stone axe to force the madman to back a few feet.
The eight Mysticons and Baxter glares at each other waiting for a moment to strike, then they charge at each other with a big explosion which only ends with Baxter winning and carrying all the Mysticons in one hand and threw them in a dumpster.
"Foolish Mysticons! Did you really think you could defeat me?" Baxter asked.
"Well, yeah." Forest Ninja answered.
"You didn't really strike us as a big baddy." Striker said.
"All my life, people have laughed at me. The other kids in school, my co-workers, the woman who fixes the copy machine! How was I supposed to know you don't pour toner in the top? But when they behold the power of this suit, they won't be laughing anymore! They'll tremble in terror!" Baxter shouted as the armor is growing bigger and looking meaner too.
"Mountain, Knight, what is happening?" Dragon Mage asked worry as the others are.
"It's like the MTPod is responding to Baxter's strong emotions for wanting more power and started to… merge together with him!" Knight gasped.
"Merge, as in combining?" Ranger asked shock.
"Yes, they're becoming one single entity." Mountain Ninja shocked.
"And now, born anew… The Stockmanpod." Striker and Forest Ninja said the name at the same time.
The now Stockmanpod laughed evilly and raise his right arm and swings on the dumpster very hard sending them flying and crash into another building.
"RUN!" Dragon Mage ordered loudly and the Mysticons started running away from the Stockmanpod who is chasing them.
"Great, that guy is still trying to crush us." Ranger rolled her eyes.
"The Stockmanpod will not rest until he has accomplished the mission!" Striker stated in fear.
"The Stockmanpod is going to get us!" Forest Ninja screamed in fear.
"Stop calling him that! That's a stupid name!" Fire Ninja yelled.
"Split up! He can't follow us all!" Wind Ninja ordered.
"No way! He's gonna follow me!" Forest Ninja freaked out.
"What makes you say that?" Knight asked.
"They always follow me!" Forest Ninja answered.
"It's true! Whenever we would split up to get away from some angry mobs that we might've ticked off, they would always go for him." Piper explained.
"Who cares, let just lose this guy!" Ranger shouted.
"Then how about we use this!" Knight pulled out a purple ball and threw it at Baxter which exploded into a bright light blinding the man.
Mikey spotted a box of pizza getting an idea and threw the pizza right at Baxter in the face.
"Enjoy the hot cheese!" Forest Ninja yelled.
But at the same time, Baxter fired a powerful blaster that caused an explosion that the Mysticons barely managed to dodge it. By the time Baxter got his sight back and the pizza off his face, the Mysticons were already gone.
The Mysticon quietly sneak their way back to the hideout to discuss a plan to beat Baxter and get the pod back without Splinter and Malvaron knowing anything about this.
"Hey guys, what are you doing up so late?" Doug asked, turning on the lights revealing the Mysticons are badly hurt.
"By Troll Bread! What happened to you guys?" Doug asked shock.
"Huh?" The Mysticon tried to think of a lie to make Doug keep quiet about this.
"Yes, why don't you tell us where have you guys been?" Malvaron asked as he and Splinter enter the scene with little smug look on their faces.
"Oh, we were nowhere. Just at home." Arkyna lied nervously.
"How did you get so hurt?" Splinter asked about the bruises on their bodies.
"Maybe they can try explaining about running away from the crazy guy with a giant metal armor that seems to be enchanted with magic tech." Malvaron mentioned.
"How do you know that?" Zarya asked shock.
"You'd be surprised of how much people take pictures and post them on the magical social media." Malvaron showed them the post on his phone.
"Uh, glad I didn't go with getting hit by a bus." Mikey said earning a look from everyone even Piper.
"As if they would buy that." Piper deadpanned.
"Enough! Tell us what happened." Splinter demanded.
With no other choice, the Mysticons began explaining everything about their encounter with Baxter and how he became so powerful through the MTPod Donnie and Emerald made.
"After Emerald threw that blinding ball, I threw a cheese pizza for extra measures." Mikey finished the story.
"Thanks for that." Emerald thanked.
"Very resourceful, Michelangelo. But I'm still highly disappointed in you all. The first rule of being a ninja is "Do no harm." Unless you mean to do harm. Then do lots of harm." Splinter advised.
"I can't believe you guys ended up making a super villain. I hope you learned your lesson and ready to take responsibility for this." Malvaron scolded.
"We do, and we intend to." Arkyna said looking at Leo who nods.
"But how are we supposed to stop him? The guy can tank our attacks and hitting it harder doesn't work." Zarya mentioned.
"Sensei, did the ninjas ever found a way to fight someone with powerful armor?" Leo asked Splinter.
"They understood that you do not fight the armor. You fight the man inside." Splinter explained gesture to the pictures.
"Then we're going to need a beehive." Arkyna smiled confusing the Mysticons except for Leo.
(Back up Surface)
The Mysticons went back up for another round against the Stockmanpod as loud explosions can be heard in the streets and the mad armor man trying to crush them into paste.
"Once I get ride of you, everyone will know the evil name of Stockmanpod!" Baxter proclaimed.
"Aw, he likes the name." Striker smiled.
"Focus!" Ranger said before blasting some magic arrows at Baxter.
But Baxter deflected them right back at Mysticon Ranger making her dodge as Knight and Mountain Ninja tackle from the side.
"Fools, you can't beat me! I am unstoppable!" Baxter dragged.
"Well, we only got one thing to say." Dragon Mage smirked at Wind Ninja who nods and look toward Baxter.
"Bees." Wind Ninja said.
"Bees?" Baxter confused.
"BEES!" Forest Ninja yelled as he stuffed a beehive to Baxter's face making him scream in pain, then open the chest revealing the pod.
"Alright, Mysticons!" Wind Ninja raised his bow.
"Let's end this!" Dragon Mage raised her staff.
Everyone charges in attacking together in both the front and the back, then the two leaders jump in striking the pod at the same time destroying it and shutting down the armor.
"Uh, want to call it a tie?" Baxter asked shrugging.
The Mysticons look at each other for a moment until they all smirk and threw Baxter into a dumpster.
"Now we're even." Fire Ninja said.
"The police are already heading their way under five minutes." Mountain Ninja informed as he trapped Baxter and the Dumpster in the bubble.
(Mysticon HQ)
"You all showed wisdom and great skill in defeating the Stockmanpod. I am proud of you all." Splinter smiled.
"Thank you, we promise not to jump in like that. And does that mean we're not grounded anymore?" Arkyna asked.
Splinter and Malvaron look at each other for a second and they nod, the Mysticons cheers.
"Now before you go, you'll have to receive the Randori." Malvaron grinned and Splinter held up his wooden sword.
The Mysticons freak out and tries to run away from the punishment.
