Leo, Raph and Donnie were back at the place where they first saw the mutant. They were looking though the piles of broken kraang bot parts. Raph found a can of soup and held it up.

Raph: I don't suppose this is a power cell.

Donnie and Leo got up excited, but when they saw it was just an empty can of soup, then seemed to deflate.

Donnie: Quit goofing around, Raph.

Raph threw the cam over is shoulder and it landed in a pool of sewer water.

Leo: Hold on a second. If an alligator wanted to hide something, where would he put it?
Donnie: I'm thinking underwater. Alligators love to drag their prey to the bottom of the swam-

Raph knocked Donnie in the water to stop an oncoming lecture all about alligators.

Leo: Thanks
Raph: Don't mention it.

Donnie popped his head back up while taking a deep breath.

Donnie: Hey, this pool is deeper than it looks. It keeps going.
Leo: Well, it looks like we should-

Raph knocked Leo into the water as well.

Raph: Way ahead of you.
***********************************************************************************************************
~Back at the lair~

The alligator started to wake.

AM: Where am I?

He tried to get up, but felt the chains pull him back. He stood up on his back legs and roared, trying to get out of his binds. Mikey and Vixen walked in, Mikey holding a pot of the pizza noodle soup he and vixen made.

Mikey: Well, look who's awake
AM: You two! Set me free!
Mikey: Oh, yeah. Sorry about the chains. The guys said we have to keep you looked up or you might attack us.
Vixen: Those jerks.
AM: Who are you? What am I doing here?
Vixen: I'm Vixen.
Mikey: I'm Michelangelo.

He put out his hand to shake, but the mutant just snapped his jaws at his hand. Mikey pulled back scared.

Mikey: My brothers, Vixen and I saved you from the kraang.

The mutant closed his eyes and opened them to show his second eye lid was still down.

AM: KRAANG!

He tried to pull out of his binds again, but more violently.

Mikey: Woah, woah! It's okay, you're safe. We brought you here so you could get better. And nothing will hear you faster than my world famous pizza noddle soup.
Vixen: You do realize that this is the first time you made that, right?
Mikey: O_O

The alligator drank up the soup. Mikey winced, waiting for him to say it's terrible.

AM: This is the best thing....I have ever tasted.
Mikey+ Vixen: Really?
Vixen: Let me taste.

Vixen took another spoon and tasted the soup.

Vixen: Woah, this is really good.
Mikey: Really? All right! Some people finally likes my cooking!

Mikey sat down and started feeding the alligator while Vixen took some herself once and a while.
***********************************************************************************************************

Leo, Donnie and Raph were swimming towards the end of the pool. They walked out the water. When raph got out he started shaking the water off, splashing Leo and Donnie.

Raph: Sometimes, it's good to be a turtle.

The a spot sigh was shot at Raph's neck. Donnie and Leo dodged it, only to turn around to see Raph without a head. They started screaming, until Raph popped his head back out of his shell.

Raph: And sometimes it's good to be a short turtle.

They heard clanging and the room started shaking.

Donnie: The place is booby trapped.
Leo: Run

Leo, Donnie and Raph start dodging the many, many, many booby traps that the alligator mutant set up for anyone.
************************************************************************************************************~Back at the Lair~

Mikey: So, what's your name, anyway?
AM: I do not have one.
Mikey: You dont have a name? Ha! Well, today's your lucky day, cause I'm a genius at naming stuff. Vixen!
Vixen: *Saluting* Yes, Mikey!
Mikey: Bring out the list. The Master of naming things, is about to name something.
Vixen: Bringing out list.
Mikey: Let's see

Mikey started to inspect the alligator for any part of him that stuck out.

Vixen: What do you say, Dr. Mikey?
Mikey: His head is kind of leathery. How about HeadLeather? Heather? No, wait! Leatherhead! Even better! Leatherhead.
Leatherhead: Leatherhead it is. Thank you.
Mikey: No problem-o. It's what I do.
Vixen: And Leatherhead makes it to number 13 on our mutant count list.
Mikey: So I've been wanting to ask you, why did you go all crazy eyes on my brother Donnie?
LH: Your brother?
Mikey: Yeah. Instead of shaking his hand, you shook his face and most of his body.
Vixen: Which was hilarious, by the way. But don't tell him I said that. ;)

Leatherhead had sudden flashbacks of what happened. Fighting off Leo and Raph. Grapping Donnie's face. Ripping Mikey's teddy. When the flashes were over, he looked to see Mikey with an adorable grin on his face. Waiting for an answer.

LH: There are time when I lose control. When I awaken, I am horrified by what I have done. A monster like me deserves to be chained.
Mikey: Or maybe you just think you're a monster because everyone treats you that way.
Vixen: It's so true.
LH: You are wise beyond your years.
Mikey: Yeah, I get that a lot.
Vixen: I can't handle the feels, man. This is going great. I wonder how the other 3 are doing.
************************************************************************************************************The 3 were not doing fine. They were still running from the fatal traps. How much time did Leatherhead have on his hands to make all of this? The three were running from spiked barrels. They were coming up at a door that read 'Get Out'. The boys screamed, thinking that this was the end, but they barged right through the wooden door and turtle piled on each other. A knife was throw, just over their heads. They got up to see they were in a tunnel with no traps, just a dead end wall. Donnie walked over to the wall and pressed on it. He activated a secret button and they wall opened up to reveal the kraang power cell.

Donnie: This thing is putting on some power

Donnie pulled out some wires and touched the cell. The power shocked Donnie badly and threw him into the wall.

Donnie: Why am I the one that always has to touch the weird kraang stuff?
Leo: Any idea what they could use it for?
Donnie: With the right components, it could power almost anything. Flashlight, blaster cannon, city on the moon.
Leo: Why would the gator even want this thing?
Raph: Let's bring it back home and ask him.
Donnie: Great, who's gonna carry it though the water?

Donnie looked back at Leo and Raph and they just smiled back.

Donnie: Aw man.
Leo: I'm sure it'll be fine. But you go first, okay?

Donnie gently put his foot near the water, just incase it would shock him. As soon as his foot hit the water, Raph shook him and made a buzz sound. Donnie almost dropped the power cell.

Donnie: Not funny!

Raph smacked Donnie and he fell into the water.
************************************************************************************************************As soon as they got to the lair, Mikey met up with them at the pool.

Mikey: Hey guys. Leatherhead is totally off the chain.
Raph: You mean you set him free?!
Mikey: What? No. Off the chain means he's cool.
Leo+ Donnie+ Raph: *Sigh of relief*
Mikey: And that's why I set him free.

The turtles looked to where Mikey was looking, and saw Leatherhead standing with a pot of pizza noodle soup that him, Mikey and Vixen worked together to make. Vixen was coming out the kitchen with her own smaller batch. Mikey waved at his friend.

Donnie: You let that maniac loose? Maybe you forgot that he grabbed me by the face. So I'll remind you. He grabbed me BY THE FACE!
Raph: Relax. You've been hurt worse since.
Leo: Mikey, you shouldn't have unchained him. What if he goes berserk.
Mikey: He's not gonna go berserk. He's totally mellow
Leo: Okay. So, leatherhead.... about the kraang.

Mikey stopped petting leatherhead when Leo said kraang. Leatherhead dropped the pot of soup.

Vixen: Meh food!

Leatherhead's eyes clouded over as he screamed out. He started to attack Leo and Raph. But Mikey and Vixen jumped on him to calm him.

Mikey: Dude, Chill! Chill!
Vixen: Imagine your happy place.

Leatherhead finally calmed down.

Mikey: What were you thinking?
Vixen: Stupid!
Leo: You said he was mellow!
Mikey: I didn't know you were going to ask him about the you-know-who!
Vixen: It just makes sense. If you had traumatic moments with a certain person, you wouldn't wanna talk about them, now would you?
Leo: Okay, what should I do?
Mikey: I don't know, maybe start with an ice breaker, like 'how was your day'?
Vixen: The nerve of some people.
Leo: Fine. Um...Leatherhead. How was your day?
LH: It started off awful.
Mikey: Yeah, you were attacked by the kraang.
Vixen: MIKEY!

Leatherhead went back to his rampage mode.

Mikey: My bad!

Mikey jumped on top of Leatherhead and started massaging him.

Mikey: Woah, buddy! Cleansing breaths! Cleansing breaths! Cleansing breaths. You know you're in a safe place now, right?
LH: Yes
Mikey: My brothers just want to ask you a few questions. Do you think you can handle that?
LH: Yes.
Mikey: Okay. Now what is it you guys wanted to ask?

Leo and Raph looked to Donnie. Donnie walked up and took the power cell out out his bag.

Donnie: W-w-we just want to know what this is.

LeatherHead's eyes clouded over as he accused Donnie of being a thief. He grabbed Donnie's face again.

Donnie: Oh, come on!

Leatherhead roared as Leo and Raph took out their weapons.

Donnie: This is not my day.

Raph and Leo tried to attack Leatherhead, but he smacked them away like flies. The power cell fell for Donnie's hand. Raph threw Leo off of him and raced after the source of power. He kicked it away before Leatherhead could reach it. Leatherhead looked at where the cell was now and Raph jumped on his back. Raph slammed Leatherhead's face into the ground and took the power cell. Leatherhead started rolling towards Raph. Raph threw the cell before he was crushed by the heavy alligator mutant. Leo and Donnie grabbed onto him. Leo grabbed his tale, but Leatherhead whipped it, making Leo swing around. Donnie looked to his left to see Leatherhead about to snap his head off. Donnie dodged the jaws. Until he was thrown into the wall.

Mikey: Leatherhead, chill relax! It's okay!

Leatherhead saw Mikey had the power cell and snatched it from the young turtle. Mikey grabbed him hand and started pulling.

Mikey: No! Put that down!

Leatherhead whipped his hand and threw Mikey into Vixen. They both crashed into the wall.

Vixen: Did any one get the number on that bus.
MS: Stop! Get away from my sons and their friend.

~A few seconds later~

MS: Leave this place. Out!

Leatherhead grabbed the power cell and ran out the sewer lair. Master Splinter ran over to Raph.

MS: Boys, Vixen, are you alright?
Leo: Yeah. Yeah, we're okay.
Vixen: I think I'm gonna have a dent in my stomach, the shape of Mikey's shell, for the rest of my life.
MS: Where is Michelangelo?
Donnie: You don't think he went after Leatherhead, do you?
Leo: No. Only an idiot would-oh, boy.
Vixen: So....rescue mission?
************************************************************************************************************

Mikey ran through the abandoned subway screaming for his new, alligator mutant friend. He followed the footprints till he came to a rundown subway cart. On the inside a couple of candles were lit and soft Big band music was playing. Leatherhead placed down the power cell and breathed heavily, until he was finally calm. The door opened and the record stopped. Mikey went in screaming.

Mikey: Dude, Leatherhead, what's the big idea, man?
LH: You should not be here.
Mikey: I trusted you. Then you freak out and attack Vixen and entire family. I thought we were friends.
LH: I warned you that there is a dangerous force inside me, that I cannot control. And that is why I must be alone.
Raph: Leatherhead...

Mikey turned to see a worried looking Vixen and his brother taking out their weapons. Mikey had to duck not to hit by Raph's Sai

Raph: Get away from Mikey, or we'll turn you into the world's ugliest suitcase.
Vixen: The only person that could be hurting Mikey, is you. Watch where you point that thing.
LH: Please! I mean him no harm. It was the kraang that made me this way.
Vixen: Oh, you poor thing. Why dont you just tell your story, and auntie Vixen will listen, okay?
LH: I was raised by a kind human boy, until his parents discovered me and dumped me in the sewer. The kraang found me and took me to their dimension. They mutated me, and subjected me to horrible experiments. But they could not break my spirit. Six months ago, I escaped through the portal that they used to travel to earth, and I stole this.

He said holding out the power ccell.

Vixen: *Wiping tears with tissue* This is the second time today. THE FEELINGS, MAN!
Donnie: What did they use it for?
LH: It powers the portal. Without it, no kraang can enter or leave this dimension. I swore to keep it from them and spare this world from their evil, even at the cost of my own life.

The 5 teens look at each other and suddenly the sound of metal clanging ripping through the air. There was the sound of a metallic whoosh and the whole cart shook. Leatherhead roared.

Kraang: Give to kraang the power cell that kraang has come to demand that you give to kraang.
Mikey: It's the kraang.
Vixen: No, it's Arianna Grande.
Mikey: Who?

The kraang started to put the cart on BLAST (HAHAHAHAHA inside joke)

Leo: Quick, barricade the doors!

The kraang started to pile into the subway cart. One kraang made it through and started a tug of war with Leatherhead for the cell. Leo saw and cut the kraang's arms off and knocked it onto the ground. Raph, Mikey and Vixen finally got the door closed. The kraang were still banging on the door. Then it got real quite. Mikey let out a sigh of relief, but a saw thing popped threw the hole right next to Vixen's head. Another was drilling through the roof. Donnie looked and saw that one of the dismembered arms started crawling on it's own and grabbed him by the face. The second arm got Leo. Leatherhead knocked down the knocked down the bot that got up again. The head flew off and Mikey caught it.

Kraang: Kraang.

Mikey started freaking out. The body started walking towards the young turtles and pressed him against the door. A bunch of kraang arms started poking through the gap. Mikey pushed the kraang away and continued the hold the door. Vixen started ripping shooting the kraang arms off. All the while, Leo was battling kraang.

Raph: We're surrounded.
Mikey: We'll never hold them off.
Leo: We gotta get out of here.
Vixen: But the question is, HOW?!
Leo: Donnie, can you get this car running?
Donnie: This track is dead. There's no electricity.
Leo: What about the power cell? Can you use that?
Donnie: I might be able to hook it up to the motor, but I'll need time.
LH: I will buy you time. My friends, you have trusted me. Now I am trusting you. I will deal with the kraang.

Leatherhead opened the door and started to attack the kraang plowing through them. Mikey handed Donnie the power cell. Donnie used the attractable blade at the end of his staff to open the motor. Donnie looked at the wires and junk.

Leo: Donnie, we're running out of time.
Donnie: I'm working as fast as I can!

The bots started pushing through the barricade.

Raph: Donnie....will you hurry up?
Donnie: I got it!

Donnie pushed the cell into the motor and it started to glow. The whole cart started to rocket down the subway. Any bots it the way were creamed. On the inside everyone was wide eyed and screaming. There was a swirly pink screen and they saw a huge eye looking at them. Donnie pulled the stop signal and the cart started screeching to a halt. The wheels left tracks of fire. When they stopped, they were on the surface again. The door opened with a delightful ding.

Leo: Where the heck are we?
Donnie: According to my calculations...*sniffs air* sewage plant?
Mikey: Wow, it's as beautiful as they say.
Vixen: Not?

As soon as she smelled the air the intense ride and the sickening smell came together and started a wild party in her stomach

Vixen: MOVE!

She emptied her stomach

Boys: Ew!
Raph: What is that?
Vixen: Pizza noodle soup.
Leo+ Donnie+ Raph: EW
Vixen: Don't knock it till you tried it. Now how are we getting home? We walking or taking the metal death trap?
Donnie: What do you mean we were totally safe.
Vixen: I'm talking about the people on the outside.

In the end, Vixen just got a ride home and the turtles took the cart to the sewer lair.
