It was another day in the lair once again, Spike had been taking things the best he could with the mutagen canister situation, with the ones he and Donnie have found, they've been trying to work on a batch of retro mutagen to cure Kirby, right now though, Mikey was watching a new show that was like the Space Heroes show from before.
"What the heck is this nonsense? It's terrible!" Raph said confused as Mikey watched it.
"Terribly awesome! I found these old tapes in a dumpster. Check it out." Mikey said as he grabbed a crate full of em.
"Dude this is awful, and you guys complained about Space Heroes." Leo mocked.
"They're lips don't even match what they're saying, i could never watch a show this bad." Raph mocked as well.
"It's probably dubbed from it's original version, i've seen people prefer the subs over dubs in some shows. And i prefer the subs." Spike defended, we cut to all of them suddenly looking amazed as they watch the show.
"There are to many of them captain!" A woman said on screen.
"So she's the princess of an entire planet? Cool!" Raph said amazed.
"Yep, and she also pilots the robots left leg, she rules!" Mikey replied.
"I love the robot design, old shows like this always made use of what they had." Spike said as well.
"I know, i love the different color parts to each limb!" Mikey said amazed as well.
"The story has such an intricate layered plot, four stars!" Donnie complimented as they see the scientist geek on the screen with the princess and was rejected by her while everyone laughed at that.
"Savage!" Spike said while laughing.
"That is so like you and April dude!" Mikey said to Donnie.
"It is not! Eh the show's lame anyway, the plot makes zero sense. I'll be in the lab." Donnie said walking off and Spike decided to get up.
"If your gonna help our friend here, i'll come as well, he doesn't deserve what's happened to him." Spike said sadly as he walked in with Donnie.
Spike and Donnie were looking over multiple photos of them and the group until Donnie grabbed a photo of him and April.
"What am i to April anyway? I'm worse then a nerd, i'm a freak! We're all total and complete fre.." Donnie said before he looked at their mutated friend.
"Donnie, i understand how your feeling, things are rough for all of us right now. It's a part of life." Spike said as he gave the mutated Timothy some food.
"Yeah.. even if April blames us for her dads mutation. We can still find a way to fix it." Donnie said as he and Spike went around with Timothy looking at the photo of them.
"With the canisters we found so far, we have some resources to make a cure." Spike said as he placed a can of mutagen on the desk.
"Yeah, and soon our friend here won't have to be a mutated glob of intestinal goo any longer." Donnie said as Timothy was trying to reach the mutagen unknown to them.
"Alright, let's try this again." Spike said as they carefully placed a drop into the can, but the thing froze solid and it exploded.
"Frozen? Aw great, another batch lost!" Donnie said annoyed.
"Don't worry Don, we'll find a cure soon and get April's trust back, i promise." Spike assured as they got up for a moment. The long mouth that belonged to Timothy reached over to the mutagen and drank inside what was left of it as sinister music played..
We cut to April at the school trying to clear her mind.
"This is it April, a new start. just pretend your a normal girl, don't talk about robot aliens or mutated dads or a talking dragon, and don't even think about turtles." April said as she grabbed her stuff until she was knocked down suddenly.
"Uh, are you serious?" April asked annoyed as she saw a hockey stick right next to her.
"Nice job stopping my puck like that, you got some moves red." A kid introduced as he had hockey gear and a beanie hat with other black and white clothing on him.
"Um, you could start with sorry." April said annoyed as the kid came up to her again with the puck.
"Sorry you got in the way. What were you doing blocking the hallway like that anyway?" He asked as he slid the puck around again.
"Blocking the.. exactly who do you think you are?" April asked annoyed, the kid slid up to her with another smug.
"You signed up for extra credit right? Well rejoice because i'm the guy your gonna tutor.
"Great." April said with a scoff.
"Look, if i don't pass this trig, they're kick me off the hockey team, nobody else wants to tutor me. They're all intimidated by my supreme awesomeness." The kid said with a smile.
"So, this is you asking me for help? Charming." April said annoyed. The bell rung again and the two looked at eachother for a bit feeling a little awkward until she sighed.
"Ugh fine, meet me at the park at 7:00. Don't be late." April said pointing at him.
"It's a date then, nice." The kid said as he whacked the puck over to a fountain, and then hit a girl in the face, the kid shrugged it off and started to leave.
"So, what's your name anyway?" April asked again, the kid turned to her with a smile.
"Casey Jones." He introduced.
We cut to another night in the city as Spike and Leo decided to have a little fun, so they placed out a couple pizza slices for Mikey as bait, and like they predicted, he just let himself fall into their trap and they knocked him down.
"What the heck was that?" Mikey asked annoyed as the two ate their slices.
"That was a stealth attack, and that's what we're practicing in today's training session." Leo explained as Raph jumped down as well.
"You just walked into that dude." Spike said as he helped him up.
"Well i didn't see you two coming!" Mikey countered.
"That's why it's called a stealth attack, genius." Raph said annoyed.
"Why would you eat random pizza off a roof anyway?" Donnie asked confused as they saw him on the water tower.
"Roof pizza is like one of my top 10 favorite kinds of pizza." Mikey replied.
"I will never understand you Mikey.." Spike said as he shook his head and turned to Leo.
"Okay guys listen up. The two keys to stealth: Misdirection, and camouflage, got it? Raph and Mikey, you guys are up." Leo told them.
"Eh, i don't wanna do this anymore do you Raph?" Mikey asked looking at hi, but they all were suddenly gone as he was alone.
"Raph?" Mikey asked looking around. A skateboard came close to him and he decided to pick him up, Raph suddenly came behind him and grabbed him.
"Shell wedgie!" Raph shouted as he lifted him in the air and Mikey groaned in annoyance.
"No fair! Stealth attacks are lame!" Mikey said annoyed while Spike took a picture of this on his phone.
"You really need to up your game on this dude." Spike said as he sent it to Raph.
"Thanks for that Spike, i'm gonna make this my thumbnail!" Raph said with a laugh.
While this was happening, Donnie quietly went over to the park to see if April's there, but heard noises and silently looked over.
"Okay, show me how you solve for x." April said as she and Casey were on the swings.
"You just.. dig right? Because x marks the spot." Casey answered as he looked at the night sky until April stopped him.
"Have you ever opened this book?" April asked holding it up to him before slamming it down annoyed.
"School isn't really my thing, when i graduate i'm gonna become either a pro hockey player, or a pro bounty hunter." Casey said as he kept on swinging.
"Those are quite the options." April said interested as Casey looked at her.
"Who wants a normal life anyway, right?" Casey asked her, he saw her brush her hair a bit and had a smug.
"Hold still red, you got a smug on your face." Casey said trying to brush it off.
Donnie seeing this had everything in him crack as he saw this.
"She's on a.. date? I can't believe it! With some punk human kid, what are they saying? Whoa!" Donnie shouted as he fell off the roof and made a loud noise and fell into a dumpster which worried the two.
"Man, this.. stinks." Donnie said annoyed as he closed the hatch.
We cut back to him and Spike in the lab where he told Spike about all of this.
"Donnie, those two could just be studying, assigned classmates is a thing you know." Spike said trying to make him calm down.
"You weren't there Spike, they were swinging together, swinging! And then.. the way she looked at him. and she gave him, that look, like this." Donnie said as he made a certain face with Timothy watching it all.
"Donnie.." Spike said trying to make him stop.
"Why was she even with him? Because he's human, that's why. Big deal, you know how many people are human?" Donnie asked walking up to Timothy.
"Donnie, your overthinking this! they were just probably doing a class assignment, we all have certain places we like to study, and the park isn't any different. Trust me, i know how this feels." Spike said putting his mutant arm on his shoulder, Donnie sighed and looked at him.
"Your right.. it could just be a class experiment, it's nothing like that right?" Donnie asked worried.
"Don't think that stuff, let's just focus on helping our friend here." Spike said as he held up a case.
"Alright, well we're almost done with your voice box, how's that?" Donnie asked as he hooked it up and plugged it in.
"Speaking to you, Donnie, Spike?" Timothy spoke through the box.
"Great to speak to you again buddy, we'll find a way to help you soon." Spike assured.
"I like April, Donnie.. Spike.." Timothy told him.
"Yeah, you and me both Pulverizer." Donnie said sadly.
"We'll fix things up with her soon Don. We'll make her our friend one day soon." Spike assured as they put another canister on the desk as well as another vile.
"April.. friend?" Timothy asked again.
"Donatello my son, i would like to speak with you." Splinter said as they saw him in the lab.
"Uh, sure master Splinter." Donnie replied as they stood up.
"Wonder what this is about?" Spike asked as they both walked out, the mouth that belonged to Timothy went over to the next canister and tried to open it.
Spike was letting Splinter talk to Donnie, as he taught Donnie about having fun while falling down, while he was reading a book.
"Oh, your talking about me and April aren't you?" Donnie asked as he realized what this was.
"My son, for someone so intelligent, the obvious often deludes you." Splinter explained.
"I know how that is.." Spike said while he kept reading.
Timothy had just gotten the mutagen canister and completely drank it all, large mutant arms and legs emerged from the body and he was able to finally start moving again.
"Must.. find.. April" Timothy said as he slid the mouth across the photo in a gross way, Donnie and Splinter were still talking until they heard a loud crash.
"What was that?" Splinter asked worried.
"It came from the lab!" Spike said as he and Donnie ran out, when they got there, they saw the wall was burst down much to their surprise.
"Timothy! He's gone.." Donnie said in shock as he wasn't here anymore.. Spike looked over and found an empty canister.
"And i think i know how.." Spike said as he held up the empty can.
"You've gotta be kidding me.." Donnie said annoyed.
Timothy was able to use his new body to reach the surface, and any normal person who was doing they're business noticed him.
"Where.. is... April O Neil?" Timothy asked in anger, all the people who saw him started screaming in fear and was running away.
A police car had arrived and saw Timothy rampaging around.
"What is that thing Jim?" The officer asked in shock.
"Some kinda granola crunching hippy, bill! Get on your knees and put your hands on your.. jar!" Jim ordered as they held out some weapons.
"Police, help find April!" Timothy said as he marched over to them.
"Stop where you are! Whatever you are!" Jim warned as the two officers started whacking him trying to put him down and they broke the photo of Donnie and April and that made Timothy really mad.
"Stupid humans, hurt me?!" Timothy asked in anger as he grabbed the club and melted it, he knocked the officer back a great distance and he went under the car.
"Get away!" Timothy shouted in rage as he knocked the other onto the windshield.
"Ugh, so what do i tell dispatch? That a bottle of goo with arms and legs on the lose?!" Bill asked worried as Timothy ran off..
Metalhead made a beep as the place was empty.
"Yep, it's a mess Metalhead." Donnie said while he looked at the broken wall.
"Donnie, Sensei, Spike?" Mikey asked as he and the others came in as well.
"What happened?" Leo asked worried, Spike sighed and looked at the empty canister.
"I think our gooey friend took a drink of mutagen again.." Spike said annoyed as he showed them the empty canister.
"If he took the mutagen, he'll be really dangerous, and i think he went after April! Come on, we'll fill you in on the way" Donnie said as he, Spike and the others ran out of the room..
They were all running across the rooftops again trying to find Timothy, while Donnie explained everything.
"I didn't know it, but i think all of my April talk made Timothy go after her!" Donnie said as they all kept moving.
"You told your feelings to a pile of guts in a jar?" Raph asked frustrated as they passed by a water tower.
"I tried telling him to calm down, but he was overthinking things like always." Spike said looking at Donnie a little annoyed. Leo picked up his phone and tried calling April.
"How dangerous is this thing?" Leo asked worried.
"Well he obviously doesn't know his own strength, he could hurt her!" Donnie said worried as Leo groaned.
"Her T-phones still off. There's no way of tracing the signal." Leo said upset.
"Actually, she might be at the park.. on a date.." Donnie told them and they all came to a screeching halt.
"You know this how?" Raph asked turning to him.
"Um... maybe i was.. following her.." Donnie said nervously as Spike and Leo slapped they're faces.
"I tried telling him this is bad for him.." Spike said annoyed.
"Alright, so they're either at the park or April's headed back home. Donnie, Spike and i will take the park, Raph and Mikey, you head to her apartment." Leo instructed.
"On it!" Raph and Mikey said at once as they all split up, the camera zooms down a bit as we see April and Casey with a bike.
"We didn't get much studying done." April said worried.
"Is studying all you do? You gotta learn to relax, cut lose a bit." Casey replied.
"Hey i cut lose, you have no idea the kind of crazy things i do!" April said in defense as Timothy peaked around the corner..
"What? Like being a science Olympian?" Casey joked.
"You really know how to push button's don't you? I bet you.." April said before she heard yelling.
"Aprillll!" Timothy shouted and she turned around and gasped.
"Donnie's monster? Can't i go a month without someone attacking me?" April asked annoyed as Casey stood in front of her.
"What are you doing?" April asked confused.
"Whatever that thing is, it's pure evil and cool looking! I'll handle this sweetheart." Casey told her.
"Sweetheart?" April asked upset at that remark and Timothy growled.
"You punk kid!" Timothy said in anger as he clutched his fists.
"I don't think he like's you." April told him.
"We're even." Casey said with a smug.
Timothy charged at them with anger and the two barely dodged his attack and he went into a few cars.
"Come on, come on Give me something!" Casey said as he was searching for something to use against him.
"Yes!" Casey said as he was about to pick something up, before Timothy charged at him and sent him rolling in the dumpster.
"Yes!" Casey shouted as he held out a club of sorts, he started whacking multiple pieces of trash at him.
"Goongala!" Casey shouted as he delivered a hard hit to him which didn't do much, and Casey went into a wall as a result.
"Now i crush you" Timothy said as he was towering over him, something suddenly hit him and it was revealed to be April's weapon as it landed in her hands.
"Back off gruesome!" April warned, she proceeded to attack him as Casey was dizzy but was seeing it all.
"I'm liking what i see." Casey said as she was attacking him. April continued attacking him while Timothy was backing up.
"Wait! April.. friend!" Timothy said worried.
"Friend! Your the one who attacked us you walking anatomy class" April insulted as Casey got back up and twisted his neck a bit before they both charged at him. April and Casey both proceeded to give him some good whacks as they both had some skill. Casey tried attacking him again, but Timothy grabbed his weapon and melted it with his hands.
"Acid hands? Wow!" Casey said amazed right before he punched him. April tried attacking him again, but he got the upper hand this time and knocked her back to the ground.
"April" Timothy said as he charged at her, April was backing up trying to escape, but luckily, Casey came in with his bike and grabbed her right before it could happen.
"How fast can you pedal?" April asked as they drove onto the streets with Timothy running after them.
"No! Stop, April will come back!" Timothy shouted as he punched away any cars that came to him and was gaining on him.
"For a big guy.. thing, he's fast" April said surprised as he was reaching out his hand.
"Let's see him outrun this!" Casey shouted as he threw the last of his club at him, and the attack knocked him off balance and fell to the ground while they were getting away, a truck came right to where Timothy was, and the truck hit him so hard he went flying into a wall.
"Yes! We did it!" Casey said in victory as they were escaping and Timothy was crawling on the ground.
"Wait.. April.. be good friend!" Timothy shouted as Mikey and Raph arrived
"Not so fast barrel full of ugly!" Mikey shouted in anger, Timothy turned around and saw Mikey and Raph looking mad at him.
"Spike was right, Pulverizer's been drinking mutagen, your not going anywhere pal!" Raph shouted pointing at him.
"No! Must find April!" Timothy shouted as he tried escaping until Mikey flipped over to him.
"What happened to you pulverizer? You turned into some kind of.. mutagen man!" Mikey said looking at his body. He growled in anger as he got into a fighting pose, He slammed his hands on the ground which caused Mikey and Raph to go flying into the air for a bit, Timothy used his strength and stomped on Raph and slammed Mikey into another dumpster.
"Mikey!" Raph shouted in fear.
"Goodbye.. turtle!" Timothy said as his mutant hand was about to reach him and Raph screamed in fear.
He was about to attack Raph, until a slash appeared and it was revealed to be Spike as he and Leo showed up finally.
"Let em go!" Leo said holding out his sword.
"We don't wanna do this!" Spike warned as he held out his mutant arm, Timothy growled and he started to regenerate his mutant hand as Donnie helped Mikey out.
"Thanks dude." Mikey said gratefully as a cat screeched running by them. Leo was about to fight him until Donnie landed in front.
"No Don't hurt him" Donnie said trying to defend him.
"What?! That thing just tried to melt my face!" Raph said with anger.
"All he wants to to is make April our friend again." Donnie said in defense.
"No! April, not turtle and dragon friend, April only.. my friend!" Timothy said pointing at himself.
"What?! I thought you were trying to get April back for me.. us.. i meant us.." Donnie said correcting himself.
"Dude.." Spike said annoyed as this behavior is super cringe to him.
"Turtles, hurt April, hurt me! Must.. destroy turtles" Timothy said as he regenerated his hand.
"Timothy, please don't make us do this!" Spike begged as they drew they're weapons, Timothy was about to attack them until the mutagen drained for him and he felt dizzy.
"No.. powering.. down.." Timothy said as he fell to the ground which confused them all.
"What happened?" Leo asked confused.
"He ran out of mutagen, quick, let's get him to the shellraiser!" Donnie quickly told them.
We cut to them in the van now driving through the streets again.
"Remind me why we're bringing Mr. Personality here back to the lair?" Raph asked frustrated at this.
"What he did wasn't his fault Raph, it was mine, he was lonely. All my April talk made him want a friend. But more then anything Timothy's DNA may be the cure to retro mutagen, i could cure April's dad and him if.." Donnie said before Mikey gasped.
"Oh no.." Donnie said in fear as there was an empty canister once again.
"Why won't you listen to us Timothy?!" Spike asked frustrated as he was was got out of the van searching for April once again.
"I thought he was out cold?" Raph asked upset as they all got out again.
"We split up and find him." Leo told the others.
"There's no need to split up, we all know where he's heading." Donnie told them.
"Why can't he just listen to us?!" Spike asked annoyed at this..
We cut to Casey and April looking out for any signs of him now.
"Hmm, no signs of any mutant organ monsters here." Casey said as April walked to the steps.
"So do all of your study sessions go like this?" Casey asked curious.
"You have no idea.." April replied, Timothy was watching from another corner while Casey kept talking.
"So when's our next date? You can tell me about that crazy metal fan your carrying." Casey asked as he got off of his bike.
"Date? Don't get ahead of yourself jones." April said with a smile.
"April.. must.. go!" Timothy said as he was about to go after her again.
"Where do you think your going handsome? April's house?!" Raph asked as he and the others landed down with they're weapons drawn.
"Keep him in the alley, we can't let April's boyfriend see us!" Leo ordered and Donnie growled at that remark.
"Not the best time to call him that Leo!" Spike said as he readied his arm.
"Leave.. mutagen man.. alone!" Timothy said in anger as he slammed on the ground.
"So, you good for another study session tomorrow?" April asked curious.
"Possibly." Casey said with a smug, Raph pushed Timothy back as he and Spike were seen dragging him into the alley and April gasped.
"Wait! Hold on!" April said holding out her hand, Casey chuckled and turned around.
"I knew it, there something you wanna say to me red?" Casey asked as Spike was seen in the background and he kicked Timothy back into the alley pretty hard.
"Yeah um.. you don't wanna go down this way because um.. Toxic fumes, why don't you take this side street over here?" April asked as she started pulling him in the other direction.
"Whatever you say O Neil, later" Casey said as he drove off.
April peeked around the corner and saw Spike and the others fighting Timothy again.
"I knew they had something to do with this, just keep walking April, it's not your problem." April said right before she screamed and dodged another trash can.
Mikey flipped over the walls and landed on his head before jumping to another wall and dodged his large hands.
"Ew! Man hands!" Mikey said in disgust as the others kept fighting him.
"Donnie, how do we stop him?!" Spike asked as he punched Timothy into the back wall pretty hard with his mutant arm. But Timothy wasn't relenting as he was still attacking them all.
"Donnie, we have no choice, whatever Pulverizer.. Timothy is.. he's gone now." Leo said as they saw Timothy get the upper hand on them.
"But if we destroy him, i might never find a retro mutagen! What about April's dad" Donnie said worried.
"What about April?" Raph asked in response as he was taking some breaths.
"We need to distract him, misdirection and camouflage!" Donnie announced as all of them had white eyes again and got ready. All of them hid themselves in the shadows and prepared to attack him once again.
"Turtles? Dragon.. gone?" Timothy asked looking around, Spike and Donnie were in the van again and were trying to get some mutagen.
"I hope this works" Donnie said hopefully.
"I'm sorry about this Timothy.." Spike said with regret as they had no choice.
Timothy was looking around for them until a small piece of trash landed behind them, Timothy walked up to it while the others made they're move. Raph screamed in anger and charged down at him and delivered a stealth strike on his chest. Mikey and Leo jumped down from the air and delivered an air strike to him as Mikey kicked him to the wall before they hid in the shadows again.
"Over here mutagen man!" Mikey shouted, Timothy saw a shadow of Mikey and punched it over, but it was revealed to be some garbage.
"No, over here!" Leo shouted from another direction, Timothy went over to that place but it was revealed to be a fraud as well.
"Hey Timothy, we got mutagen for ya!" Spike announced as they held out another canister, but this one looked a little different.
"That's right, come closer!" Donnie said as they drew him close.
"More.. mutagen!" Timothy said as he was about to attack them.
"You want the mutagen? Take it!" Spike shouted in anger as he threw the canister over to him.
"Timothy! Please don't drink it!" Donnie begged as the large mouth went over and started drinking it.
"oh no! Not again!" Mikey said in fear as he finished drinking it.
"I'm sorry about this old friend.." Spike said regretfully as he noticed his body was freezing.
"Donnie.. somethings.. wroo..ooong!" Timothy said as his body completely froze.
"I'm sorry Timothy.." Donnie said with regret, he tried to attack them one more time before his body froze completely..
"Wow, awesome move guys, real scientific!" Leo said amazed while Spike and Donnie looked really sad.
"Yeah.. real scientific.. don't worry my friend, one day, we'll find a cure.." Donnie said as he placed his hand on the frozen jar.
"No matter how long it takes.." Spike said sadly as he felt ashamed for having to do this..
"It's okay guys, you did what you had to do, let's just go home." Raph said as they looked at the frozen body.
They all made it back to the lair once again where Spike and the others were watching that show again while Donnie looked sad.
"How are you my son?" Splinter asked curious.
"Sensei, i created a monster who could've crushed the girl i'm totally into.. how do you think i fell? I'll probably never see her again.." Donnie said with regret..
"April's decision to stay away is her own choice, we must let her come back in her own time." Splinter explained as Spike got up and went in to help things.
"Friendship always has it's missteps, not everything will go smoothly, and it will take time before she forgives us, we'll find a way Donnie, i promise you that." Spike assured patting him on the back. They saw the show on the Tv and the princess was giving the nerd scientist some kisses after saving her which made Donnie smile.
"Yeah, we'll fix things one day.." Donnie said with a smile as they hoped things will get better soon..
