TMNT + Me

Cockroach Terminator (Part 3!!!)

Wow....this took me 3 chapters. I'm not sure that I'm gonna have enough material that make this long enough. Or will I?

The turtles and Vixen ran down the street, screaming as the molted cockroach followed them. It was amazing at how the people of New York were still sleeping after all this. Raph tripped over something and fell flat on his plastron. He turned in time to see the roach swoop down and grab him. The mutant flew over head, tossing Raph up and down. It licked Raph's face, making the red clad turtles want to puke. Raph stubbed the roach, and it dropped him in return. Raph flew through the air and fell into a trash bin. He panted as he went up for air, feeling something crawl up his arm. He looked tp see a small cockroach resting there. He freaked out and tried to smash it, but it always jumped away in time. The mutant flew down and roared at Raph as if he saw what just happened. The mutant stalked closer and Raph let out a high pitched scream as he dove out the bin. "Start the engine! Start the engine!" Raph squealed as he saw the van up ahead. Leo, Mikey and Vixen were already there. They jumped in, followed by Raph and went to their stations. "Donnie, did you get this thing working?" Leo asked.

"We got bigger problems. We gotta stop that drill!" Donnie alerted as he showed that the kraang had already started drilling. "Donnie! That was not the question! You were not there, but that Cockroach terminator turned into a Malicious Monstrosity!" Vixen fumed. "You know I don't like the 'm' word." Donnie shot back. "Well too bad. Malicious, Malicious, Malicious!" Mikey stated. "He meant to word Monstrosity." Vixen deadpanned. Raph turned on his monitor and saw the devil himself. He took a moment to cringe then went into battle mode. He started shooting hot balls of garbage, but they harmlessly bounced off the thing. "What the-" The beast opened the doors, only to be kicked out by Mikey. "Take that!" He shouted. Donnie hit something with a metal thingamabob and the Shellraiser sped off. "I had my chance, and I couldn't face him. I just...couldn't do it." Raph beat himself up. Leo was about to say something when Vixen slapped her hand over his mouth. "NOT. A. WORD." She threatened.

"Look on the bright side. In 15 minutes, we could all melt in the fountain of lava. Okay, that sounded brighter in my head." Mikey admitted. Donnie was typing on his computer, trying to see if there was any info in the blueprints that they could use. "The laser drill is just past the front gate. Kraang droids everywhere. Hope you have a good plan." Donnie informed Leo. "I'm gonna ram through the gate, and we'll go from there." Leo stated. "Works for me." Leo looked over to Raph who was sulking next to him. Leo was plenty angry, but knew he couldn't say anything. Raph caught his brother's gaze and looked away, as if to say I know I messed up as much as you know it. Vixen caught the little glace transaction and took a mental note to get revenge. But right now, Raph needed someone. "Hey Raph, remember that time when Leo thought you were too angry, so they left you behind? Turns out they had to face spider bites and almost lost their lives. Good thing you showed up, right? Bet they were plenty scared." Vixen shared as she spun in her chair. Raph picked up his head a little.

"And what about that time when Metalhead got taken over and started shooting at us non stop. Again, almost died. But, then Donnie saved us. And lets never forget when Stockman got a hold of the T-pod, and Mikey stopped him twice. By shoving hot pizza and bees in his face. Oh! How about that time when the M.O.U.S.E.R.S attacked? The best fight I've seen in a long time. And when Leo went off and met Karai-" "Vixen where are you going with this?" Leo sighed. "Well, LEO, what I'm trying to say is that everyone has their weak moments. But that doesn't make them weak. There was always at least one mission where someone felt as if they were lower than the rest because of a weapon, an anger management problem, trouble with leading, or a fear. You guys have always found a way to better and conquer what was holding you back and make yourselves better. Even against all the odds and all the people doubting you. So, after all that, I would expect for all of you to not judge someone in their rough patch. Because 1) you went through one yourselves. And 2) this is just the process of becoming better.
