Half Shelled Heroes Book 2/ TMNT 2012

Of Rats and Men

"The past can come back to bite you!"

In The Sewer Lair

In The Main Room

Leo was holding one of Jesse's fans hoping she will be back soon while Jamey and Raph were play fighting. "Come on, Raph. I have win like ten times already." Jamey said to him suddenly Raph tackles her to the floor. "RAPH!" Jamey yells as the two roll around the lair while Cheyenne was on her laptop and Donnie was on his phone. Tasneem and Mikey were playing an online game on the tv then Splinter enters the living room. "My students." Splinter said making the group look at him. "It's time for your lesson." Splinter said to them. "Oh man and I was just winning." Tasneem said to herself as the group walks over to the Dojo.

In The Dojo

"I don't know, Master Splinter. This doesn't seem fair." Leo said to Splinter who puts on an blindfold. "I assure you, it isn't." Splinter said to him. Leo draws one of his katanas then he attacks but Splinter dodges making Leo's brothers laugh. "A swing and a miss." Jamey said to them. "Blind fighting is more than honing your other senses. It is about perception and giving the illusion of control." Splinter said while Leo takes out his other katana then he attacks again but Splinter moves out of the way. "You may think you have the upper hand. In the situation, but..." Splinter said as Leo charges at him but Splinter grabs Leo's hand. "You do not." Splinter said to Leo then he flipped Leo over and onto the floor. "Looks like someone needs a shower." Mikey said to them. "How's that floor tasting, Lame-enardo?" Raph asks Leo making fun of him. Splinter gets behind Leo's brothers and he smacked them all in the head with one of Leo's sword.  

"Ow!" 

The boys said while rubbing their heads. "It is not hard to sense loudmouths." Splinter said to them. "You telling me." Tasneem said to him then suddenly, Splinter groans, taking off his blindfold and his eyes turn red. "Raph, knock it off." Jamey said to him. "You turtles!" Splinter yells making the turtles look at him. "You will all-" Splinter said as he  lifted his sword to strike but then hesitated, his eyes returning to normal. "Master Splinter, are you all right?" Leo asks him concern. "I am sorry, my students. This is...Something is wrong. I must meditate. We will continue this training another time." Splinter said to them making the turtles leave the room. "Yo, did you see that? Sensei gave me the crazy eyes." Mikey said to Tasneem. "Maybe because you were laughing." Tasneem said to him.

Later in Cheyenne and Donnie's Lab

Mikey is eating ice cream with Tasneem while Donnie and Cheyenne was working on making retro mutagen. "So I wonder what got into Master Splin- Aah! Aah! Brain freeze!" Mikey yells as moves around making ice cream go everywhere. "Mikey! You're making a mess! Keep your ice cream away from my experiment. I'm trying to make Retro mutagen." Donnie said to him as he turns to Cheyenne. "Always messing up my stuff." Donnie said to her. "You are too hard on him." Cheyenne said to him as apart of Mikey's ice cream lands into the mutagen. Donnie turns back making Mikey quickly hides in front of it to prevent Donnie from becoming really enraged. "You are so dead." Tasneem said to Mikey.

"Hey, guys. What's up?" April said as she walks into the lab. "April." Cheyenne said to her. "Cheyenne." April said to her as Casey walks into the lab. "And Casey." Donnie said to him. "Donatello." Casey said to him. "I came to see if you guys could look after this." April said as she shows them the car she find. "Aw! Look at you!" Mikey said as he takes the cat. "Coochiewoochiewoochie!" Mikey said as he takes the cat over to Tasneem. "Can we keep her?" Mikey asks them while Mikey sets the car on the table who starts licking the ice cream. "You know, Master Splinter is a rat." Cheyenne said to Mike while she walks over to Donnie. "Yeah, what if that cat goes nuts and attacks him? She could feed off his body for months." Casey said to them. "You know, there is something seriously wrong with you." Donnie said to him. The car meows, Tasneem and Mikey saw the cat licking licking the mutagen. The two gasp in surprise as the cat let out a painful yowl, her eyes and mouth glowing green. "No, no, no, no, no, no!" Mikey said to himself as the cat started to melt and started to change into a liquid substance. Horrified, Mikey lowered his head. "Oh, what have I done?" Mikey said to himself. "That was like watching a horror movie." Tasneem said to herself. Slowly, the substance started to change into a cat but with ice cream color pelt. It turned into a mutant, Tasneem and Mikey's eyes were wide. "Everything okay over there?" Cheyenne asks them making Mikey look at them. "Yeah, yeah, it's cold. I mean cool. Everything's cool. Cool like ice cream. Ice cream's cold." Mikey said to them then he chuckles. Tasneem and Mikey then grabs the cat and leaves the lab, Donnie and Cheyenne look at each other bewildered.
