The Turtle Charm

Delivery

I know that while Mikey tended to be the least mature of the turtles in any universe, he also tended to be a prodigy in ninjitsu. He could take on various foes if he needed to. Still, I found myself following after him, quickly moving from rooftop to rooftop, and I had taken on a new form.

This time, I was smaller, quicker, and more agile, making parkouring come relatively easy as I moved about tall buildings.

Below me, he pulled up to a series of apartments and was carrying the pizza to the front when a bunch of tiny pig men ambushed him! I started getting closer, ready to jump in before I stopped at the sight of the kid handling them pretty well.

I was close enough to hear the banter as Mikey said, "Meatsweats! I should have known you were behind the delivery attacks! I mean, 'Consendening Diner'? It makes perfect sense!"

"Little Mikey, my least favorite Fanemy. I see you haven't given up on trying to foil my delicious plans!" Said one of the pig men and another followed up with, "We'll guess what, laddy, this time you won't get away with it!

Several of the little piggies grew into various versions of themselves, like how an eviee can take on various different evolutions.

"What the..." said Mikey, "How are you doing that! I thought you could only take on one mutant power at a time!"

"I made a new friend, who offered me a scrumptious upgrade I just couldn't refuse!" The tiny army, which seemed to be a hivemind, lunged at Mikey, who dodged them.

"Well, whatever is going on here, I don't have time for it," said the small turtle, "I'm trying to do a friend a solid and I got pizza waiting for me back there...Bye!"

Mikey made his way up the building, seemingly looking for the window that corresponded to the delivery's address. The pig men followed after him, one saying, "Oh, no, you don't! Delivery is my business now!"

I followed the chase with my eyes. Mikey was about to knock on a window when some of the pigmen wrapped their tendrals around him. Slowly, they dragged him down into an alleyway.

I had a flash back to an incident my brother and I got into a couple of years back. We were minding our own business and waiting for our mama to pick us up from a party. Val went to get some drinks form a nearby convienance store and came back running from some muggers. I ran with him into an ally with a fence somewhere down the middle. I made it over the fence, but he was dragged down.

My reaction on that day is the same I had on this one. "VAL!" I yelled out, finally jumping in and plumping into the ally. As I entered, instead of seeing the small army dogpilling Mikey, there was a sigler pig man holing him up and absorbing some sort of energy from him.

"Tina!" said Mikey

"Who the bloody heck are you?" he asked turning to me. 

As my stature changed to the tallest turtle's, I said, "I'm the chicana who's going to make meudo out of you if you don't let him go!"

"A new turtle? Ha, doesn't matter. Once I'm done with this one, I'll be taking that nifty little power..." The pig man stopped mid sentence and started grimacing, "W-What is happening to me!" He dropped Mikey as his body warped, becoming even uglier than he already was.

"Holy shell, did he just...go Krang?" asked Mikey, "Is this what happened with Ghost Bear?"

"Yeah. Pretty much...Shit!" I jumped out of the way of a swinging tenticle as the creature screatched, "Too bad we don't have Leo here to portal him into the Hudson like Ghost Bear though...The one time..."

"Portal? Hey that gives me an idea!" Mikey stuck out his hands.

"Eh...what are you doing?"

"Future Casey said that future me sent him back by opening a time portal...I'm going to send Meatsweats to the Jurassic..." Mikey was hit back by Meatsweats. I moved to catch the small turtle. 

As the beast lunged towards us, I moved to cover Mikey with my Raph-sized body. Out of the corner of my eye I could almost swear I saw a teal, orange swirl form.

After a moment or two, the turtle said, "Uh, Tina...I can't breath!"

"Oh, shit. Sorry," I said then looked around, "Where did that guy go?"

"I must have actually made a portal!" said Mikey, "Wait...what's with my hands?"

"They're craked!" I said taking them in mine. Suddenly, a teal glow went through them, seemingly sealing the cracks. 

Mikey and I stared quietly for a moment at his hands before he yelled out, "The pizza delivery!" He found his boxes, checking them and then jumped back up the building. 

While he did that, I looked around, noticing a Krangified Meatsweats tendrl somewhat flopping on the floor. I wanted to barf at first sight, but held it in as I looked for something to put it in. I was sure Donnie could do something with it.

As I scooped it into an abandoned soft drink cup, Mikey jumped back down saying, "Oh, my gosh, you won't belive how many unicorns they gave me!"

"Unicorns?"

"They're a common Yokai tip. I'm not sure what I'm exactly supposed to do with them, but at least I have a few more Georges to add to my collection!" After a moment of silence, he said, "Hey, earlier...did you call me Val?"

"Oh...uh. Val, which is short for Valentino, is my twin brother back home. You...actually remind me a lot of him..."

"Is that why you were following me all the way form Hueso's?"

"How did you know?"

"I'm a ninja," he said shruging, "I could sense you from a mile away...On the other hand, how were you able to keep up? You're not trained are you?"

"No...Actually, I went you-mode."

His eyes seemed to sparkle, "You became...me! Whoa! That is sweet! Can you do it now!" The small turtle's excitement seemed to push me into his form. "Whoa!" he said, "You just went from Raph's size to mine in seconds!"

"Yeah, I guess that's how it...Wait...I went Raph mode! But I thought this only happiness when were in the same area!"
