TMNT 2012 Nightshade

Ep 3: Live with it

(FYI, Mondo Gecko might have had a 'fatal' accident cuz I don't like that character lol) 

The next few weeks were normal enough. Raph won most of the duels, Donnie created his gizmos and gadgets, Leo continued to learn new techniques in fighting, and Mikey was... Mikey. So yeah, life was pretty normal. Though there was no denying that something was different as well. Yes Mikey was being nutty again, but it only took one wrong comment for him to make a complete 180 and become quite violent. It annoyed Raph for awhile but over time he learned to ignore it, mostly. 

One night, Karai came telling about an enemy they had recently fought. She was with the Mutanamals and even some of the strongest looked worn out. 

"Karai!" Leo exclaimed as he watched them come in, "What happened?" 

Karai grunted. "Some stupid punk thought he could take us, and I guess he did." 

Slash picked up his mace, "We tried to stop him but he was too fast! He stayed in the shadows and attacked when we were off guard."

Leo pondered this a moment, "It sounds a lot like ninja, maybe there are still foot loyal to shredder."

"I had a similar assumption." Karai began, "But if its foot then it isn't like any I've ever seen. He wore black metal armor with a full face helmet. He might have even had a voice scrambler." 

"Maybe a vigilante." Casey piped in coming over with Raph. Raph fist bumped Slash checked him over to make sure he was okay.

"You guys took quite the beating. To bad I wasn't there to help you guys out." Raph said with a half laugh. 

"What do you think you could have done?" Mikey piped in walking out of Donnie's lab with Donnie.

Raph rolled his eyes, he could tell from his tone that Mikey was in one of his 'moods'.

"I could have helped them out, maybe even have stopped the bad guy from getting away. I am the best fighter of the four of us you know."

"Oh trust me we know, we hear it all the time. Oh mighty Raph let us bow in your ever great presence as you continue to rant off about how great you are. A bit of an ego don't you think?"

The Mutanamals looked confused at the strange tension that filled the air.

"Anyway..." Leo interrupted trying to keep the peace. "We should track down this guy and see whose side he's really on."

"We can take the Shellwagon." Donnie said silently gesturing from them to head down to the track.

"Why do we all need to go?" Mikey said in an irritated voice. "Raph can take this guy on his own can't he? I mean, isn't he the best fighter? It sure would be a shame if he found an opponent that outmatched him wouldn't it Raph?" 

"Mikey! We are going as a t-" Leo started, but Raph's temper got the best of him.

"What's your problem?! I don't want to hear this all day long! Get your attitude in check or I WILL show you what a good fighter looks like!"

Mikey shoved Raph pretty hard, enough where Rap stumbled back. "Hey back off man!" Mikey said going at him again but was stopped by Leo. 

"Enough you two! We have more pressing matters to deal with then your petty fighting!"

Mikey pulled away and walked back up to the lair. "Well then I'm staying here!" 

"Good riddance!" Raph said as he brushed himself off. The team glared at him, "What? He started it! I don't know what his problem is! Maybe it's best if he doesn't go."
