A/N~posting early cause there will be no reception where I'm going ^^

POV 3rd Person(Leo):

'Improved him...', Leo couldn't hear anything, even though the room was filled with droids and equipment, it felt so empty as he stood over Angie, his head ached as his heart thumped louder and louder inside his ears. There was so much wrong with him, stitches and staples were all over his head and shell, his skin was no longer its olive color anymore, now it had become a pale green scales stained with red and brown patches of blood and bruises, even the freckles that littered his face disappeared.  'Angie...what did they do to you...', Leo wanted to listen to the droid beside him, to try and blend in as just another prisoner, but as he stared at Angie's barely conscious body, listening to his shallow breathing, Leo's body froze, leaving him with no control over his own body.

"Mutant...", the droid's words were muffled as it spoke, which only caused the rest of the droids to look his way, each robot exchanged glances and one of them walked forward.

"Terra..."

Venom spoke loudly as the robot continued to reach for Leo's shoulder, its steps were the only thing he could hear, listening to step after step, to others the foot steps were so quiet barely louder than a whisper, but to him, his ears rang with each step.

"Terra...TERRA!"

Leo flinched at the sound of Venom's voice, screaming his name, but what grabbed his attention was the droid that grabbed him by the arm. Leo's eyes were finally torn away from the awful sight, his eyes widened as he stared at the hand holding him, "!̵̝̂!̴̀ͅ!̸̥̺́̎!̴͎̇!̷̠̥̒̓!̷̦͎̃̉!̴̜̺͆̒!̵̫̥͆́!̸͖̦̈́Ë̶̱͛E̷̘͙̕͘E̶̡͝E̷͍͌͜E̸̢̻͑E̵̳͑E̴͉̒Ȅ̶͍̈́E̵̬͒̽͜Ë̴͚̋E̸̯͈̚E̵͍̥̿͝M̸̠͘ ̵̗͆F̶̧̈́͝Ȯ̶̳̩̐ ̵̩͔̃̐Ŏ̷̢G̸̦͑ ̶̦̽̂Ţ̴̲̈È̶̡̆L̵̘̑", turning on his heels, Leo grabbed the droid by the throat, and hurled the droid across the room, Leo's body stayed in the position he threw the droid as his breath came out heavy, droids aimed their guns straight towards the mutant in front of them, but Leo couldn't breathe. Scratching at the bandages around his neck, he even tugged at the badges that wrapped around his shell, Leo dragged his nails across his skin, trying to peel away the uncomfortable bandages that hid his body, he couldn't breathe, he couldn't think straight, Leo felt trapped.

"Terra..."

Leo's breath got caught in his thought as the heart thumping inside of his ears finally stopped, all he could hear was Venom.

"You need to take off the badges..."

"B-..but-", the droids kept their guns aimed straight for the trembling mutant, "This one's too far gone...euthinize it"

"I'll no longer be...me", Leo choked on the air and leaned on the bed beside him, staring at Angie beside him, "I'll be a monster!..."

"No you won't...These Kraang think we're weak-That you're weak-"

It was strange, 'Where have I heard that before', Leo felt a strange shift in the atmosphere, no he felt something different change inside him.

"Because they haven't seen what you can do-"

Leo's strips and crescents glowed brightly and his eyes shined a bright white, lighting up the dimly lit room, 'I remember where I heard that from'.

"You are Leonardo Hamato! And we are Venon"

Leo snorted as Venom yelled those words inside Leo's head, his voice was filled with pride and strength as he yelled those, but all Leo could do was laugh, "Dude you sound like a dumbass-"

"MUTANT!!!", Leo could finally hear the sounds of the voices around him, "Get back to your cell immediately", looking up from the ground, Leo's finger got caught on the bandages and with little effort he yanked off the wraps, giving the droids full view of the spiky fins on his back and the gills on both sides of his neck, Sub-Prime held something up in the air as he walked closer to Leo, but as the ooze slowly disappeared, the more Leo noticed the attonish and horror he saw in the droid's expression, "What-", Sub-Prime's voice trembled as he continued to stare at Leo, "What is that thing...". The sounds of the guns powering up filled the room, Leo could see everything, he could feel every shift in the air, in the atmosphere, Leo finally felt free, "I'm the team's face man...". Pulling out his sword, Leo watched as the curved bladed illuminated in the darkness, lighting up just like his last pair, "Oh ho ho hoooh, this is gonna be fun", positioning the blades be his side, Leo pushed off the balls of his foot and lunged for the closest droid, swinging his swords, the blade sliced straight through a droid, "Don't just stop! Kill that thing!"
