TMNT 2012 Nightshade

Ep 1: The Discovery

     Leo trained in the dojo with his brothers, Raph, Donnie and Mikey. They had become very skilled fighters  now, but Mikey still seemed to fall behind. 

"Let's try this once more Mikey." Leo commanded as they got in position. 

Mikey groaned. "Dude come on, can't we take a break?" Raph rolled his eyes and Mikey could feel everyone glaring at him. 

"Mikey, you need to learn how to do this properly. Now once more." Leo said putting his sword out. 

Mikey shrugged and tried to make it a game. He was supposed to use Leo's weapon against him, and he knew just how to do it. He took his nunchuck chains and threw them over the ceiling framing fast enough it came back around and tangled around Leo's wrist and weapon. Mikey then pulled on it and pulled Leo's arm up making him look like a puppet. 

"Ow! Mikey! This isn't what I meant by that! You are supposed to use hand to hand combat against a weapon!" Mikey dropped his nunchucks and untangled Leo. 

"You said disarm you, and I definitely disARMED you." Mikey said with a laugh. Leo rolled his eyes. 

"What if you don't have a weapon?" 

Mikey shrugged, and Raph groaned. "Mikey if you aren't going to train the way you need to then stop wasting our time!" 

Mikey clenched his fists and glared at Raph. Raph was really getting on his nerves lately and he was getting sick of it. 

"Fine, I'll do it your way." Mikey said putting his nunchucks away. He wasn't sure why, but he was really angry at the whole situation. He could feel his blood boiling even as a cold blooded creature. Normally he could shake this off, but today it felt like his head was clogged and the pressure was getting to him. 

Leo got back into position looking impatient. "Alright then, let's go again."

Mikey got in front of Leo and put up his hands, waiting for the signal. "You're going down Leo, I'm not losing this time."  He thought to himself in a hateful tone. 

"Hajime!"

In a blur, not only did Mikey manage to disarm Leo, but pin him to the ground as well. Everyone stood up quickly and stared in amazement.

 "Mikey! That was-" Donnie started, but stopped when he realized Mikey wasn't letting up on Leo. "H-HEY! Stop that!" Donnie yelled as he pulled Mikey off of Leo. However, Mikey being as frustrated as he was swung his arm at donnie as he was pulled to his feet. Leo then shot up to his feet and grabbed Mikey's arm. "Dude what's your problem!?" Leo hollered as he lightly pushed Mikey to get him to back off. Mikey shook his head looked back at Leo. "I'm sorry, I just don't like being called weak." Leo looked to Donnie and then to Raph. "Dude, nobody called you weak." Raph piped in. Mikey didn't speak for awhile, and headed for the door out the dojo. "You didn't need to say it."

Later that day, April and Casey came down to the base to hang out. "Sup everyone! Anybody miss Casey Jones!" 

"Eh, you're pretty easy to forget." Raph said teasing. Casey and Raph fist bumped and Casey put his hockey stick down. 

Mikey sat on the couch not saying a word. "Sup Mikey! Stayin rad?" Casey asked putting his hand up. 

"No." Mikey said getting up and walking to his room.

Casey and April seemed puzzled at his behavior. "What's with him?" Casey asked. Raph scoffed while shrugging his shoulders, "Let the baby throw a hissy fit. I don't know what his problem is."

As quick as the word came from Raph's mouth Mikey spun around and stared icily at him. "You're one to talk you idiot!" Mikey was filling with rage and the pressure was about to blow.
