A few days had passed since the prank. I was wondering about the sewers, minding my business, as usual. Well- maybe I mind other people's business more than I should, but people are interesting! It can't be helped!

But for now I didn't fund any amusement in annoying my brothers or building castles out of cards... I didn't wanna call and bother Silver and I didn't wanna swim all the way to trash island to see professor- I just wanted to have some time to take a walk and be by myself! Sometimes a turtle likes to have just a little privacy, even a turtle like me...

While walking I started to hear something- something that made my tummy squirm, Eyuck! Normally- I would turn shell and run! But I knew what was going on! Fool me once, shame on you- but nobody was gonna shame this turtle twice!

"Raph! Don? Sensei..? I know it's one of you guys making mondo creepy noises down here! It's not gonna work- can't ya have any creativity and scare me a different way? Like, sheesh.."

I quickly turn a corner, yet my grin left my face as I saw nobody. And I felt nobody. But I could hear something- somebody...

"Uhh, hello? Anyone home?
Man and Mutant-Kind, welcome to answer!"
Nothing.
"Huh."
Guess there's nobody there.

And thats when I hear it. I shiver and hold back a gag. Gosh I am such a hatchling. I hear squelching in some sewer tunnel behind me. I feel impending doom squelching behind me. I know I should trust my gut- but this is all some stupid prank! I am not gonna look like a big idiot again!

I turn around and follow into the tunnel that makes me feel with dread. That tells every part of me to turn around, fills my feet with enough dread to make them heavy!

But no.

I don't turn around.

And then-

This body...

Where am I? Last time I was anything close to sentient, I was banished to some astroid eternally. Mor Gal Tal, was it? An icy wasteland, a hell that was inhabited only by me... A devil favored before all angels, falling as melted wax into the stormy sea. Not even that was comparable to how I was completely forsaken by those rotten Utrom..

I felt myself die there, Lotus's of verglas blooming through my aching pores. It was quite an unbearable experience. Yet it would appear my spirit did not attach itself to that space rock...

I am surrounded by stone. And even though my body and environment are cold, the feeling of apricity blankets me. But that is no doubt a state of kalopsia from being exiled to all eight Naraka, combined into one. Specially made to torment me, it had to be...

I wonder what my spirit has attached to. As I move, my body feels slimy- how disgusting! And I am...green? The feeling of dread is too palpable now! I realize it too soon for comfort.. I am one of those disgraceful students of the rat! Hamato Yoshi's rat! I will not be the slimy student of Hamato Splinter! Where is my blade!? I would rather die honorably by my own hand, than live willingly as such a disgusting creature!

I reach for a blade that is not there. Well that defeats my first plan... but perhaps it is good that I live! For if I am in the body of Hamato Splinter's student, I can gain he and his allies trust! And then it will be so much easier to eliminate all of them!

I go to laugh in congratulation to my genius, only to immediately shut my mouth. I sound extremely peculiar... and Why am I slimy? Turtles aren't slimy, are they? No... this one is just disgusting and sweaty. I think while I am in this body I feel the spirit of its owner fighting back against my control! How pitiful.. it doesn't realize it's only fueling me further...

I feel potential inside this body- but it's shrouded by an excess of dead weight...

I can fix that.

Everything is dark. It feels like i'm being eaten alive by my very own teeth, swallowing me whole into that darkness. Feeling the darkness of someone else's mind inside my own. It's all sorts of wrong! But it is happening!

I dunno why, or how, but it is...

Ive only felt that darkness from one other being before... I have a bad feeling I know exactly who I'm rooming with- Ch'rell! Aka the Shredder, or the alien who wants to be the shredder!

A light is suddenly visible to me, and I realize I can in-fact see the world around me. But it feels like a freaky movie with blinking effects added in- like im locked in my own body! Im up and moving before I even know it. and I think, instinctually, Ch'rell knows exactly where to go. And that's my fault for being so good with directions... but I cant help with being awesome at everything! Right now I have to be awesome at taking control back over myself!

Is this how Raph feels when he's angry?
Scratch that- is this how Raph feels when he's in a five mile radius of me? Most likely.

I dunno how to make my body listen to me, I've always been more impulsive. So maybe my brain isn't the strongest muscle I have- but I gotta try and use it now! Especially if my theory is correct about Ch'rell being the one piloting me right now! Jeez I hurt- my head hurts... I can still feel everything. And Right now I have a headache.

And I'm pretty sure I can feel what the ghost in my head feels, because I also feel really angry and something else i can't exactly pinpoint, but it makes my stomach twist. Or maybe that is just me... I dunno...
