A New Team (Book 3 Of A Whole New World~) ~COMPLETED~

Clash of the Mutanimals

~My POV~
Waunu and Mikey are watching Crognard while I show Aphmau, KC, Aaron and Zane some moves I've been practicing, Raph was punching the dummy of Shredder and the others are doing other stuff in their minds. I held the wound softly, still hurts but I can still fight. "Hey, guys, ever notice how the cartoons we watch are kind of just like our missions?" Mikey asked. "Seriously? You're reading way too much into a cartoon show, Mikey." Zane said. "That's what I said to him all the time." Leo said to Zane. "Actually, Mikey's on point here, guys. It feels like every mission we've been into a lot, and it feels so oddly similar when we compared ourselves to the ones on cartoons." I said. "At least we're all not wearing black like Zane." Waunu said, referring to Zane's attire. "Hey! Black is the man's best friend, thank you very much." Zane said to Waunu defending. "Speaking of missions, I know what our next one should be. Shredder." Raph said, Waunu and I looked at each other skeptical, I have my hands on my hips. "Why don't we take him down once and for all?" Raph asked before he punches the dummy and Aaron quickly grabs it before sets it down, that made Aph's eyes sparkled in excitement. Chris looks up from his book he's reading with Kim and Noi. "Because of that impulsive overemotional state right there, Raph." Chris said before he, Kim and Noi got yelled by Raph. "Who are you calling impulsive and overemotional, Chris?!" Raph said. That got Chris, Kim and Noi rubbed their ears a bit. "Ouch." Kim and Noi said in unison. "Well, to put it that way, I'd go more with hotheaded." Pierce said. "PIERCE!!" Waunu, Miah and I said before Raph yelled and started to chase after Pierce. Pierce yelped and tried to avoid Raph as much as he can. We ran to stop Raph from hitting Pierce while Aaron and Zane protected Pierce. "Whoa Raph! Pierce didn't meant it!" Erika said. "Actually, Pierce was meant to say it." Ein said. "Ein! Not helping!" Nessie said. Then Donnie came out. "What was that? Did Raph finally blow a gasket? 'Cause I got spares." Donnie said. Then we heard grunting before we saw Leatherhead, Izzy, Amy, Sticks and Tails came in, slightly injured. "Aww! What a cute gator!" KC said. "But it looks seriously hurted." Aph said. "Turtles, Guardians." Leatherhead said painfully. We got over. "Leatherhead, guys, what happened, are you okay?" Martin asked before Aph, KC and Waunu got over and cuddles Leatherhead. "No Martin, look at him, he looks terrible, look at his adorable yet tortured gator face." Waunu said to Martin before Aph and KC nuzzled Leatherhead lightly with baby talks so softly. "Aww. Look at him." KC and Aph said before Leatherhead got up. "Waunuleta is right. I bring dire news. Slash, Rockwell, Sonic and Knuckles have been captured by Tigerclaw." Leatherhead said. "What? Why?!" Erika asked. "He said they could be of use to 'him.'." Tails finished Leatherhead's sentence. "Bet someone knows one guess who 'him' is." I said. "Yeah, That guy who does the thing with the thing. Uh?" Pierce asked. "We're have no idea who you're talking about." Ein said. "SHREDDER!!!" Waunu, Raph, Nessie and I said to Pierce and Ein. Then we heard laughter and a crash, we saw Pigeon Pete. "Oh no, not him." Chris said in a worried tone. "What's wrong, Chris?" Katelyn asked. "Trust me, don't ask any of us how." Miah said to Katelyn. "Wow. Now, this is a secret lair." Pigeon Pete said before he went around the lair. "Anyone else but Pigeon Pete." Raph said. "A tire swing! Is that a real Space Heroes pinball machine? You ask me, the only thing this place needs is some bread." Pigeon Pete said. "We got something better than bread." I said before picked up the crust from the box. "Pizza crust, buddy." I said before Pete flies at me, Chris yelped before pulled me away and I yelped that I let go of the crust, Pete got it and tries it before saw his eyes widen in amazement and some fireworks popped behind him. "Oh, where have you been all my life?" Pigeon Pete asked. I turned to Chris with a skeptical look. "What? He was about to pounce on you." Chris said. "To catch the crust, of course." I said. "Wow, sounds like you guys gone into better adventures." Travis said. "Trust us, Travis. It's worth the while." Martin said. "But why they take Pigeon Pete instead?" Raph asked. "Listen, Slash is our child too. Plus the Mutanimals are our friends, and we gotta rescue them." I said before we geared up, I felt a tap on my shoulder before turned to see Zane, I yelped that I accidentally dropped my katana blade. "Zane, you scared me." I said. "EC, did you and Raph...?" Zane asked before I realized what he meant, used my foot to grab the katana and put it in my sheath. "No! That's Raph's first pet and I babied him a lot, he was Spike as a turtle, but now Slash as a mutant. Long story to explain along the way, let's go!" I said before follows the others.
~At Shredder's Lair~
We're across the building from Shredder's lair, Raph was about to go in before I stopped him. "What are you doing, Raph?" I asked him. "Going in all blades blazing, like we should have done weeks ago." Raph said before Martin stepped in. "We honestly don't even know where they are. We need a plan." Martin said. Pigeon Pete came in. "You need a recon fly-by? I'm the birdman for the job. Pigeon Pete's a go!" Pigeon Pete said before he fall. We got shocked by it. "Well, he's dead." Ein said. "Not helping!" Nessie said. Then Pete flew back up, heading towards the lair but he crashed into the window. We winced at the sight. "Oh yeah, he didn't see a window there." I said. Then a crash was heard before we saw the four ran out. "Guys, we've got to move." Slash said as they ran off fast. "They escaped, on their own?" Donnie asked. 'Something ain't right.' I thought to myself before we saw Footbots, running after them. "We gotta help them!" Nessie said before we jumped to help them as they're in the alley. We jumped and slice the Footbots, I took the last one down before ran over to them with the others. "Slash, are you alright?" I asked to Slash as I lightly stroked his head. "Mama." Slash said softly. "What did Shredder do to you?" Leatherhead asked them. "They don't look so good." Zane said. "We've got to get them back to the lair, guys." Donnie said before we helped them, I felt something is really wrong as we got them to the lair.
~Timeskip to the Lair~
I was helping Sensei with KC's help as she's carried some cake for everyone to eat. "Your escape was very fortuitous. Shredder is not one easily eluded." Sensei said. KC hums softly as she got the cake on plates in front of them. "Here you guys are, my special homemade get well soon cake will cheer you guys up in a easy quick." KC said with a cheery tone. "Ah, we're just glad you guys are okay." Raph said. "I'm not sure about it, Raph. 'Cause something seems off about them four." Waunu said. "They did do something to us. Yes, it's all coming back now. We were being experimented upon by Shredder." Rockwell said. "Experimented on?" Donnie asked. "He had these strange little worm creatures, and then and then.." Sonic got cut off when he held his head. "Dude, don't leave us hanging." Mikey said. I checked on them. "They're not doing good." I said. "Let me get you some water." Sensei said before he walked off. Then we heard a roar and a hit. I saw Slash had hit Sensei to the ground. "Sensei!!!" I said. Slash was about to get him but Aaron jumped and blocked the hit with Leo and Raph's help. "This can't be happening." Nessie and Leatherhead said in unison. "How could you, Slash?" Raph asked. "Splinter... must be... destroyed!" Slash said brainwashed. "EC, something's wrong!" Katelyn said. "Slash is brainwashed!" I said before we got hit. Katelyn crashed into Travis but I skidded on the floor before looked up to see Knuckles and Sonic brainwashed. "No, not you two!" I said before got up. "We... must get... Ness-Marie!" Sonic said brainwashed before he ran towards Nessie. But he got hit by Slip and Jet. "Autobots! Thank goodness!" I said. "Good thing we came back in time from finding more energon." Bee said in his holoform. Nessie got up and grabbed the brooch from the backpack but got lifted up but Knuckles and yelped. "Let her go!" Miah said before she ran and got into the fist fight with Knuckles. "EC, check on Sensei!" Raph said I ran with Donnie, Zane and Leo. "Sensei?" I asked before we got lifted off the ground and away from Splinter. "Rockwell's gone crazy too." Donnie said before we got thrown. I got saved by Aaron. "You okay?" Aaron asked. I nodded softly. "Yeah, thanks Aaron." I said before he set me down and I ran to help the others. Then I got hit by Sonic and got up to kick him. "Sorry buddy, but I can't let this happen to you!" I said before got levitated by Rockwell. "Hey! Rockwell, what are you doing?!" I said. "It is the will of the master." Rockwell said brainwashed before he levitated pick the items up and tossed them to hit everyone else and I got tossed to crash into the Bee Team. I got up softly and rubbed my head. "Shredder desires one of the turtles and two of the Guardians." Knuckles said brainwashed. Then I saw Raph, Miah and Aaron got up. "Well, we volunteer to go kick his butt right after we kick yours." Miah said before they charged. "Guys, stop!" I said but they got hit by knockout powder. They coughed and they fell to the floor, passed out. "Guys!" I said before Slash picked Raph and Aaron up, Knuckles picked up Miah and tied up Nessie. "Guys, fallback!" Sonic said before they escaped. I ran towards the door but they slammed the door. "No! Leatherhead, get this open!" I said before Leatherhead charged at the door and tried his hardest to bash. I helped too with Martin before the door opens and we got in with everyone else. I turned to Aph and the others. "You guys stay here and aid Sensei, we'll go to stop the others and rescue the crew." I said. Aph ran to me and puts the scarf around my neck. "Please, save Aaron." Aph said. "I will do my all to save him." I said. Noi ran up to me. "I'll help too, I know much about jitsu." Noi said. "Let's go, Noi." I said before we followed them as the others ran towards the Shellraiser. The ride started and we started the wild goose chase with them. We got to the surface. "Girls, slow them down!" Leo said. "Let's take out the trash, Erika!" I said. "On it!" Erika said before she started to control Miah's area to get the trash cannon to aim, but the Party Wagon moved. "I'll slow them down!" I said before activated the battering ram in front to hit the Party Wagon. Then we saw oil slick came out. "Oil slick! Oil slick!" I warned them before the Shellraiser got slicked and crashed into the wall. We groaned softly. "They got away with Raph, Miah and Nessie." Mikey said. "Don't forget Aaron!" Noi added before we got out. "At least we know where they're going." Donnie said. "Looks like we're gonna do what Raph wanted after all, take the fight to Shredder." Leo said. We got out our pens while Martin got their brooch out. "Let's go." Martin said.
~At Shredder's Lair, in the Lab~
~Miah's POV~
I groaned softly before opened my eyes to see light then noticed I'm bounded on the table with the toughest chains, an angelic chains. I looked on my left to see Raph and Nessie are bounded with straps and I looked on my right to see Aaron got bounded with ropes around him. I grunted softly. "Guys, wake up!" I said before they regain conscious and saw they're tied up. "Where are we?" Raph asked. "We're in Shredder's lair, in the lab!" I said before Nessie saw the four. "Slash, Rockwell, Sonic, Knuckles, snap out of it you guys!" Nessie said before the tables moved forward to see the three scientists, Tigerclaw polishing his sword and Steeljaw getting his claws ready. "It's no use. With the mind control serum coursing through their brains, resistance is futile." Eggman said before he chuckled evilly. "I don't take orders from evil!" Aaron said. "We'll gonna keep you in stable since you're no warrior or a ninja, but these three! They're gonna be good use." Zach said. "Good use for what?!" I snapped. "You'll see." Eggman said before Baxter looked at us with worried look in his eyes before he uses the clamp to grab one worm and the two grabbed the other two as well. We saw the mutated worms. "Okay, that is disgusting." Raph said before Knuckles held Nessie's head as she is struggled to look away. "Nessie!" Raph said. "Resist it!" I said. "Don't let it control you!" Aaron said. Nessie yelped as the worm is going into her ear, she screamed and struggled. Then it was Raph's turn, the worm is on his head and he screamed as the worm goes in. I saw the last worm as my head is held. "No, let me go! I mean it!" I said before I screamed as the worm went into my ear. "Guys no!!!!" Aaron said.
~Outside the Lair~
~My *Short* POV~
We stopped on the rooftop near Shredder's lair after Martin, the girls and I transformed into our Sailor Form. "I just realized we don't have a strategy. Um, shouldn't we make a plan?" Donnie asked. "Forget the plan." Leo said before he got his katanas out. "Leatherhead, get ready to make a door." I said.
~Inside the Lair~
~Aaron's POV~
I grunted softly before got pushed on the ground and saw the others got tossed to the ground. "Guys!" I said before they slowly woke up and sat up softly. "Where are we?" Miah asked. Then I noticed someone without a helmet on. I saw their eyes in shocked to see one person. "Your new home, mutant and Guardians." The man said. "Shredder." Nessie said. 'Shredder?' I thought to myself before noticed their eyes fumed with rage. "Finally, we've been waiting for this." Raph said before they charged and was about to attack him. "Stop." Shredder said and their whole body stopped. They struggled to move them. "Guys! Come on, get him!" I said before my mouth got taped. I muffled through it. I saw Shredder stood up and face to them. "Now bow to me." Shredder said before the three struggled more before they gave in and they bowed. I muffled more. "Miah and Ness-Marie, transform into your Sailor outfits." Shredder said before the girls stood up. Miah has her pen out and Nessie got her brooch out. "Earth Nature power!" Miah said brainwashed. "Heaven prism power!" Nessie said. "Make up!" The girls said before they transformed into their sailor outfits. My eyes is in shocked as I saw Miah and Nessie in their sailor outfit. I blushed softly at Nessie's super beauty. "Attack me!" Shredder said before Raph went first. I muffled I'm fear. "Harder. Without mercy." Shredder said before the girls charged at him. "Earth coconut cyclone!" Miah said brainwashed. "Heaven memory bolts!" Nessie said brainwashed. I got scared for the others. 'Hurry guys!' I thought to myself.
~My POV~
We got inside, I attacked the Footbots that are blocking the way, the others followed me before we went through the lair. Waunu got her lightsaber out and charged at the Footbots that are walking pass by. We got to the dungeon and looked to see no body there. Then we heard yelling and crashing. "They're upstairs!" Martin said before we head upstairs then we got there to see Miah and Nessie held him down and Raph struggled. "It's the others!" Mikey said. "Raph, do it. End this." Leo said. "What are they waiting for?" Donnie asked. Waunu felt them. "They're not themselves! They're mind controlled!" Waunu said before Shredder chuckled evilly and the three backed away from him in order for him to stand up. "Raphael, Miah and Ness-Marie are mine now to control. As are your other mutant friends." Shredder said as the others came in. "No escape for you, reptiles." Tigerclaw said. Steeljaw chuckled softly as he has his claws screeching on the side for a warmup. Then we saw Raph walked to the skull to grab the gauntlets and joins the others. "Guys?" Noi asked before Eggman pushed Aaron towards us. "Aaron!" I said before Erika ran to get the tape off Aaron's mouth. "Guys! They're planning to use them to attack you guys!" Aaron said before Donnie and Mikey helped him out. "Now, let us welcome you properly." Shredder said before he chuckled evilly. Leo, Martin and I charged at Shredder but Miah uses her lightning to strike Martin and Leo back, I yelled when I was about to get him but Nessie uses her wings to block my attack. "Nessie, snap out of it! Shredder's the enemy!" I said before Nessie glared at me. "You.. are.. the enemy!" Nessie said before she charged me. I yelped before dodged Nessie's attack and uses my water attack to hit Nessie hard. Then I noticed the others attacking. I grunted while dodging the hits before jumped to the side after my katanas has been thrown to the side. "Nessie, you've got to break Shredder's control. This isn't you. Where's that kind side of you?" I asked when I grabbed the spear. "Don't waste your words. There's nothing you can say, Erwina." Nessie said brainwashed. I got mad before tossed the spear and her wings blocked it then I jumped and hit her with my sai handle. "Break free, you jerk!" I snapped before charged at her, then I remember insults triggered emotions inside. So I smirked softly and attacks Nessie, physical and emotional. "I get it. You can't feel emotion because you're Shredder's puppet. As a matter of fact, I'll bet you like doing whatever Shredder tells you. You probably love it!" I said before Nessie yelled and was about to charge me, but she stopped as her stomach growled. She barfed up the worm before Aaron stepped on it as I ran to her. "Nessie, you good?" I asked before Nessie wipes her lip and glanced at me. "I'm good, sis." Nessie said. "Sis, you're amazing!" Waunu said before she and Erika are being crushed by Knuckles. I ran over to stop Knuckles. "Hey beefcake! You think you're strong on outside, but inside, you're so weak! Well, Aaron and Raph are stronger than you in many ways! Bet they can even use their strength to beat you in arm wrestling!" I said before Knuckles grunted and tried to get me but stopped at the same feeling, gagged before he barfed up the worm. Waunu burned it with her hand. "You okay, Knux?" I asked. "Yeah, but I know they're almost as strong as me." Knuckles said. "Agree to disagree. Now stop Miah before she electricuted us!" Erika said when she points at Miah hitting Noi with her lightning strikes. Knuckles ran and tackled her to throw her some insults. Donnie did the same to Rockwell, same for Leo to Raph, three worms got out of their mouths and they got squished. Rockwell uses telekinesis to hit Slash and Sonic before they barfed up the worms for them to burn in fire. "It is time I end this experiment." Shredder said before we circled around him. "Turtles, Mutanimals, Guardians, get him!" Leo said before we charged at Shredder to get him down. But he easily overthrow us. We grunted in pain. I looked up to see he was about to end me but the column falls down, Raph rushed to grab me before it landed on top of Shredder. We saw Slash and Leatherhead. We got up before we heard Footbots coming in. "Another time." I said before we used smokebombs to escape as fast as we can.
~At the Lair~
Slash gave the cup to Sensei and Aph was happily reunited with Aaron after I showed him the scarf. Noi is getting treated on his back cause of the lightning strikes on him, Miah is gonna apology and treat him somewhere soon. "I'm sorry, Master Splinter. When I attacked, I could see everything that was happening, but I couldn't control my actions. Please, forgive me." Slash said but Sensei placed his hand on Slash's shoulder. "There is nothing to forgive, my friend. This was Shredder's doing. Your mind was not your own." Sensei said. "Yeah. Those worms must have programmed you four like sleeper agents." I said. "Indeed, it was dreadful. My thanks to all of you for saving us." Rockwell said and I smiled softly. "All I know is that those worms were nasty, and it's awesome to have you guys back." Mikey said. "Thanks, little brother, but we owe it all to EC." Raph said referring to me and I smiled kindly. "Well, what would we do without you? Every team needs an impulsive, loudmouthed, super-violent hothead, right?" I asked before Raph walked up to me with a fume face, but Raph hugged me in a tender way. That made Waunu smiled softly, KC gasps softly in amazement and Zane gone mad. "You're the best, EC." Raph said with his eyes closed and nuzzles me. I blushed madly and smiles bashfully. "Okay, all right. All right, easy on it." I said. Martin chuckled softly at the moment.

'At least things are good. For now.'
