#### Mickie's POV

It was the same old night. My sistas and Turtle-boy friends were hunting down all the Mutagen canisters that the guys dropped all over the city, and my sisters say *I'm* dumb. Wait was that mean? That was mean.

Raph: Can you please sit down before you get hurt?!

Rach: I'm trying to keep the NYC vibe alive in me! A *true* New Yorker would stand on the subway cart!

Raph: (groans annoyingly)

Nelly stayed in the back with Dee-Dee. I could easily tell that the sound of the Smarty Shell's tracker was annoying the heck outta everyone. It was all like \*ping ping ping ping ping\* then it would go faster and actually start beeping. That was a sign we were getting close to Mutagen.

Donnie: Take a right. No left! Left!

Leo: Make up your mind!

Lea: Yeah, because you're seriously rocking my brain harder than onshore waves on a stormy day.

Mickie: Yeah, what my *nee-chan* said!

Chihiru: Sorry everyone! It seems that since there are so many Mutagen canisters it's making the tracker hard to make a precise location. Now it says to turn right!

Leo: Right?! Got it! (turns right)

Like before, Bluey took a sharp turn and this time, I fell off the soda machine and slammed right into the doors of the Shellraiser, shell first. Oh, the irony.

Flareon: Oh I think I have backlash... That hurt so much...

Trubbish: I think so too...

Rach: You okay?

Mickie: *Daijōbudesu*, needs a lot more that a sharp turn and some shell-lash to knock me down.

Trubbish: Yup! We're a-okay!

Froslass: I see. So you don't need some medical assistance after all.

Mickie: Not at all!

Leo: Hey Mikey, you wanna stop reading your comic books and pay attention to the mission?

Mikey: Hey, that comic's in mint- (gets hit on the head by Raph using a roll-up comic book) -near mint condition! Don't mess it up!

Flareon: Great, another horror story. Guess who's gonna be up all night again?

Jolteon: What? No! We weren't up all night reading! We were just... uh... just... (whispers to Mikey) Help me out, Mikester!

Mikey: We were just polishing my grappling hook. (flashes a smile)

Flareon: Really. Polishing your grappling hook.

Jolteon: Yup! That's right! Polishing his grappling hook! Not reading or anything like that! You're just cray-cray!

Flareon: Cray-cray?

Rach: You're just crazy! That's what it means. (picks up horror comic book) And besides, I love to see how much gore and blood and stuff is in here! (starts reading)

Leo: (sighs)

Mikoto: We found a location! Head to the abandoned movie theater!

Donnie: Okay. To the theater!

### Movie Theater

Dog: (barking)

???: Was that, boy? You found some blankets? (picks up blankets) Not much but it will do.

???: Surprise!

???: (screams)

???: Tao's sorry for scaring you! The name's Taokaka! Call me Tao for short! What's yours?!

???: Mine is Levina. You can call me Lev if you want to...

Taokaka: Lev?! That's a pawsome name! But Tao's got a better one! You're gonna be the bushy lady because of your bushy tail! Is that okay with the bushy lady?!

Levina: Fine... Whatever. Just what are you doing here at an abandoned movie theater?

Taokaka: Movie theater? What's that?!

Levina: A place where people go and watch movies in.

Taokaka: Oh! Tao now understands! But how did Tao get here? Tao remembers sleeping on something!

Levina: And you were sleeping the whole time this happened?

Taokaka: Hm... Tao thinks so. Tao doesn't remember what happened next. Tao continues sleeping until Tao heard something barking!

Levina: That must've been Kaylin Juana Cruz. She's my dog. And this one is Hope Shakespeare the squirrel.

Taokaka: Meow! So cool! Tao's amazed by how adorably cute they are!

Levina: Thanks. So you don't *really* remember what happened?

Taokaka: Nope! Not at all, bushy lady!

Levina: I see... But it doesn't seem to bother you at all.

Taokaka: Guess not. (chuckles)

Tao's ears twitched as she heard something.

Taokaka: Did you hear that, bushy lady?!

Levina: I did actually. Where did that came from?

[SCREAMING]

Levina: A scream? We should check it out.

Taokaka: Sure thing, bushy lady!

Levina: Now it's getting annoying.

The two saw a man screaming in fear.

Levina: A squirrel? Really?

Then it showed its freakish tongue.

Together: (screams) Mutant squirrel! Mutant squirrel!

Taokaka: What's a mutant?

Raph: What's going- (screams)

The boys huddled together as they screamed and my sissies hugged Rachie in terror. Something even more freaky and really gross happened; the squirrel climbed up to the man's mouth and crawled into his throat! This caused the man to gag and faint.

Mikey: Now can I scream in horror?

Mao Yin: You may.

Mikey screams in horror.

Josephine: Good one.

Rach: Jeez! Oh you guys are such wusses! It's just a mutated squirrel. Watch "Murder at the Med School Morgue" enough times and you'll never be scared again. Especially when that mad doctor chopped that young college boy up so many times until he was just a huge lump of flesh, bones, and blood.

Lea and Alolan Raichu: Not helping!

Rach: Sorry. Just saying.

Flareon: Well I have seen enough grossness for the night!

Espeon: Now hold on. We can't just leave this guy.

Ekans: You mean?

Espeon: Yup.

Vulpix: I don't know, Sputnik! Taking him with us is a bad idea!

Alolan Vulpix: Yeah! A *really* bad idea!

Namerian Arcanine: But we can't leave him here. Especially if those squirrels are inside his stomach. He need some medical assistance.

Elizabeth: I have to agree. He needs our help.

Raph: (groans) Fine! But what about Splinter?! He's gonna be mad at us for bringing a homeless guy to the Lair!

Leo: I'll handle this.

Mickie: (whimpering)

Lea: Mick?

Mickie: I don't know about this...

Mikey: That's just like how the aliens were able to get into the ship in my comic book!

Rach: You don't have to be afraid. Nothing's going to happen.

### Lair

Mikoto: Uh... Why did you bring a homeless guy with you?

Rach: Long story. And you won't believe what we're gonna say.

Snowpard: Like what?!

Rach: We saw a mutant squirrel weny inside this man!

Mikoto: I already don't believe you.

Mikey: Wait till it comes out! You'll see!

Mikoto: Look, I can believe in a lot of things but mutated squirrels going inside people is not one of them. I need some proof before I can believe you.

Dani: Well you'll see it and then believe us. And while we're doing that, Leo is talking to Splinter about this.

Mickie: Do you think Leo will be OK?

Lea: With that angry look and that cane? Not a chance.

Mickie: I see...
Dee-Dee told Raphie and Mikey to be gentle with the "specimen". But they were not easy 'cuz when they set him down, they knocked over all these vials and a microscope, which made Dee-Dee mad. Nelly helped Dee-Dee with the "examination" and held onto a clipboard. I swear, she always carries around that clipboard whenever she's around Donnie. Weird, right?

Mao Yin: So what's the condition?

Dani: He seems to be stable for now. I'll tell you if there's any changes.

Mikey: So... Wanna guess the first thing the crew did when they brought the guy back on the spaceship in my comic?

Flareon: Enough with the comic! If you said it one more time, I swear to God I'm gonna burn that up!

Jolteon: Well if you put that way...

Pimiko: Leo! You're back.

Hibiscus: Took you long enough.

Leo: OK, we're cool. But let's get this guy outta here before Master Splinter is done meditating. Where we at, Donnie?
Dee-Dee said something sciencey stuff and on the screen was an X-ray of the dude's tummy. Inside were 2 squirrels. Wait, I thought only one squirrely-squirrel went in... Night just kept getting weirder and weirder...

Celeste: You said there should be one squirrel. Yet I see two.

Mahiru: Fascinating! It must've multiplied to two squirrels!

Mikoto: Now I believe you. This is perfect for my next Science Project!
Suddenly, the homeless guy sat up and started babbling cray-cray words that made no-no sense.

Taokaka: Tao thinks that freaky squirrel made him a little nutty!

Mickie: Hey! Squirrel puns are supposed to be *my* running gag for this episode!
Yes, I break the fourth wall a lot. I know that we're a cartoon for kids that isn't really watched by kids. More like teenage girls and die-hard 20-something nerds, am I right?

Trubbish: Yeah! Only Mickie is allow to say squirrel puns!

Miu: The fuck are you talking about? Are you high on drugs or something?

Mickie: No I'm not! Dani, can you translate cray-cray?!

Dani: I can translate many things. Even speaking in the most ancients of languages. Talking crazy is so easy to know about.

Then without warning, the street dude started to heave and hurl. He squirms around before 2 squirrels pop out of his mouth with barf! Everyone screamed in horror while I let out a big fat:

Mickie: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Mikoto: Mahiru was right! The squirrel replicate itself inside the host! Now this is science!

Leonardo W.: You're into this kind of stuff?

Mikoto: As a scientist, you do what you have to do to get some major results. Even if it's disgusting and unnatural.

Shiro: So what you're saying is: one squirrel goes in, replicates inside your gut, then two pop out?

Trubbish: Like a jack in the box?!

Espeon: In a nut shell, yes.

Mickie: You mean, in a *turtle* shell?!

Mikey: That's exactly what happened in my comic!

Jolteon: Not exactly. They exploded out of the dude's butt.

Flareon: Make them stop!

Homeless Man: Aaah, leprechauns!

Taokaka: Leprechauns where?!

Litchi: I think he's referring to the Turtles.

Taokaka: Oh~!

Mickie: Hey! I may be short and green, but I ain't no stinkin' tiny Irishman! (chases him away) Git git, I said git, Old Man Joe!

Trubbish: Get outta here and don't come back!

Flareon: Is that his name?

Trubbish: Nope! I think what he *should* be called!

Raph: I'm just glad the insane guy's gone.

Flareon: But we have bigger problems! What are we gonna do about the squirrels?!

The squirrels ran through our legs, making me bend down and follow their movements through said open legs. Fortunately and *unfortunately*, me bending over caused the others to trip and fall over me, while I stood there unscathed by the tumble.

Jolteon: Catch the squirrels!

Mickie: *Min'na*, you're trying and failing to do the one thing children have been trying to do for centuries! Catching a squirrel is, and excuse my French, *impossibile*!

I then noticed one of the squirrels standing near me, looking up with its big black eyes. I aww-ed loudly and bent down to it, holding out my hand. It slowly inched toward me, its cute little squirrely nose twitching. I noticed by barely looking up Bluey sneaking up behind the squirrel with a box over his head. Just had to distract it long enough... Didn't work because a squirrel landed right on the dorky leader's face! They must be secretly flying squirrels... The second squirrel on Fearless' face jumped off and scampered toward Mikey's, I mean *our* room!

Mickie: Nuuu, bad squirrely squirrel! Bad! Come out of our room immediately or else! (no response) So you want to do this the hard way eh? Okay! Trubbish, use Sludge Bomb to lure the squirrel out!

Trubbish: Sludge Bomb!

Mickie: Now can you come out?

### Makoto Nanaya

Makoto: This isn't the place! Titana, you idiot!

Titana: I really thought this is the way-decchu!

Makoto: (sighs) I hope nothing jumps out at us.

Titana: Right~decchu!

Their ears begin to twitched as they heard some rustling.

Makoto: Who are you?! Show yourself! (sees a squirrel) Oh it's just a squirrel. Whew... I thought it was something else altogether.

The squirrel hisses as it reveals its tongue.

Together: (screaming) Alien squirrel is gonna eat us!

Makoto: Leave it to me! I'll just kill that thing!

Titana: Do it~decchu!

???: Stop! What are you doing?!

Makoto: Going to fight this freak! Who are you?

???: I'm Parappa the Rapper! And you shouldn't hurt a poor innocent squirrel.

Titana: That's not any ordinary squirrel~decchu!

Parappa: What do you mean?

When the mutant squirrel was about to pounce at Parappa, she kicks it away to the wall.

Makoto: That's the reason!

Parappa: Oh~... Now I get it. Guess they're not as cute and innocent as I thought it would be.

Titana: Told ya~decchu...

Makoto: We should find a place to hide.

Parappa: Like that manhole?!

Makoto: That could work!

### Turtles

In the den, it was all dark, but not pitch-black dark. More like a very very very dark gray with small pinch of light. Rat-Man told us to split up and find the little freaks on our own.

Raph: Split up to search in the dark for multiplying mutants. Could we pick a more cliché way to get eaten?

Donnie: One of us could twist our ankle, or our T-Phones could die, or-
Raphie didn't wanna hear anymore of Dee-Dee's suggestions, so he pushed Smarty-Shell away and went off searching. I was double jointed and my T-Phone was at 80%. I was all good! But just in case, I clung to Rachie's arm. The two of us went with Master Splinter to look around the dojo. The squirrel he recently captured was gone and we couldn't find th other 2.
I heard a noise then clung to Rachie's arm again.

Rach: Mick, will you stop being such a scaredy-cat?

Mickie: We're being hunted in the night by mutated squirrels who glow!

Rach: Aaaaand?

Trubbish: Glowing's a bad thing! Who knows what could happen?!

Mine: Calm down! Nothing bad is gonna happen! I have to deal bigger monsters then squirrels! What's the worse thing that could-

[SCREAMING LOUDLY]

We ran out and saw the squirrels doubled in size and in ugliness! They looked just like the aliens in "Tales of the Cosmos"! They were about to eat the others when Splinter jumped in. He beat down those freaks like a boss!

Mickie: You rock, Rat-Daddy!

Josephine: Yeah! Way to go, dad!

Sentõki: (using sign language) {They're heading to the surface. We must stop it before it can reach to the surface and cause chaos among the people.}

Splinter: Then go. We will stay here and defend the Lair.

Rachel A.: Valkenhayn, go with them in case for extra assistance.

Valkenhayn: Yes, milady.

### Makoto

Makoto: Why do we have to be here? The sewers is so disgusting!

Parappa: Well what else are we supposed to go?!

Titana: Got a point~decchu! (hears something) Uh did any of you heard that~decchu?

Makoto: The screeching? Heard it loud and clear.

Parappa: It's coming this way! Let's follow it!

Makoto: Hold up, Parappa!

### Turtles

Rachie was the only one who went out searching for the Squirrelanoids alongside Metalhead. She did not know fear whatsoever. She wore a headset so we could stay in contact with her with a microphone.
Mikey: If we *are* both, what would the combo word-?

Froslass: Shut up, Mike.

My BTFF pouted then darted his eyes between the comic and screen. I took the mic and spoke to my tough Brooklyn sissy.

Mickie: Rachie, are you totes sure you're OK with this? Those things are pretty scary.

Rach: Mick, I'm fine. I ain't afraid of some dumb, over-sized, chubby-cheek furry freaks. Besides, I wanna the take the head of one just for keeps.

Lei-Lei took the mic from me and shouted angrily into it.

Lea: You are *NOT* under any circumstances going to bring home a mutant squirrel's head!

Rach: Aw, you always take the fun outta everything, Lea. (thinking) But I'm still gonna bring home a head of that mutated squirrel. (chuckles) And hide it so nobody but me will find it.

Then a screeching was heard on the screen.

Froslass: What was that?

We saw Rachie shine her flashlight down a tunnel. A Squirrelanoid in a corner, seemed so peaceful. We slowly leaned in to the screen in awaiting suspense. I screamed when one of those mutants came on screen and attacked Metalhead! His whole head came off and the last thing we saw was Rachie getting ambushed by the mutants!

Dani: Rach? Rach are you there?! Rach, answer!!

I heard Mikey say something about page 33, but I didn't care.

Mickie: Girls, Rachie's OK, right? She's gotta be, right?!

Lea: She's alright, Mick. She is, she's has to!
I looked at the TV filled with static on the screen, flits of Rach still there. Lea held me close to her as I buried my face in her chest.

Mickie: *Dōzoyoroshikuonegaishimasu*, Rachie... *Onegai.*

### Rach

Rach: Hey! Put me down, you monsters! Froslass, use Ice Beam! Freeze them!

Froslass: Ice Beam!

The Squirrelanoids dodged the Ice Beam.

Rach: Darn it! Froslass, find the others and show them where I am! White Tip, follow her!

They nodded and leave.

Rach: Just where the hell are you taking me to?! If only Mick was here to know what they're saying... Huh?

The Squirrelanoids then made a pod in which they put her in and suspend her to the ceiling.

Rach: (thinking) Great. Now they put me in this pod... Wait, this is a great chance for me to *really* experience the true terror of horror. It's like being in that movie I saw at 6. Or wasn't it 5? I don't remember but it has a scene just like this. I'm gonna stay here as long as possible until the other shows up and ruin the experience for me. (sighs) Hope not...

### Turtles

Mickie: Sorry bud, I have to help my sissies find my other sissy. You'd be saying the same if it was one of your brothers who got snatched.

Mikey: True... (sighs sadly)

[CROW CAWING]

Jolteon: What was that?!

Flareon: It was just a stupid crow.

Trubbish: That's not any ordinary stupid crow! That's White Tip! Rach's pet crow!

Froslass: Froslass. So glad you have arrived. Rachael had sent us here to lead you to her.

Mickie: Really?! You know where she is?!

Froslass: Yes but we don't have much time. Come.

Girls: Okay! See you boys later! (leaves)

Luffy: Let's go, everyone! To the squirrels!

### Girls

Dani: Rachael?!
Lei-Lei hopped up as high as the ceiling and sliced the pod at the top. The pod fell and popped like a water balloon when it hit the floor, slime and green goo splashing all over us! Eewwww ewie ewie eww eww ewwwwwww!! Lei-Lei picked up Rachie in her arms and tried to shake her awake.
Lea: Rach, Rach wake up! It's your sisters, we're here, wake up!

Rach: (groaning) Lea...?

Lea: That's right. Akaw, you're awake and alive! I thought your face was gonna be eaten or something like that!

Rach: Why did you cut me out? That was the most incredible terror experience of my life. It was being in a real life horror film. You should've let me enjoy it while it lasts! And also, Daniella, you better recreate this pod up there with slime and bring me home a Squirrelanoid head so I can hang it up somewhere!

Girls: You're serious?!

Rach: Of course I'm serious! I don't know why you're grilling at me for. I'm dead ass serious about this. No lie whatsoever. Recreate that pod and bring me home a head of that squirrel 'cause you're not the one who has to be in that pod for hours now.

Mine: And what about those three over there?!

Leone: You're right. There's three more people who have been captured by the Squirrelanoids and trapped in there!

Lea: I got this! (slashes pods open)

Makoto: (groans) What happened? I remember fighting those alien squirrels and...

[SCREAMING]

Litchi: Oh dear. We should be helping the boys out.

Girls: Okay!

Tashigi: You should come with us just in case.

Titana: Fine by us~decchu! I don't want to see those squirrels~decchu!

### Boys

We finally caught up to the guys. They were fighting the Squirrelanoids, but looked like they were losing. Naturally being kunoichis, we jumped into the fray to help.
Mickie: (throws Tessen) That's for making Raphie ruin Mikey's action figure!

It launched its little alien head-tongue thing, but I grabbed it and severed it.

Trubbish: That's for Raphie too! Dark Pulse!
I kneed it in the chest then roundhouse kicked it away.
Mickie: And that's for my sissy!!

Rach: Man Mick, you are on a roll!

Mickie: Mess with me, my fam, and friends and you get the *Ryū no Shimai*!

However, the fighting barely phased the freaks! Just as they cornered us and were about to attack again, they started sniffing at the air. I sniffed too, buttery white-cheddar popcorn! Mikey stood on the platform with the bag of popcorn and ran off with it, the Squirrelanoids following him.

Jolteon: It's working, Mikey! They're following us!

Mikey: Yeah they are!

Mickie: Great work, buddy! Bait those dumb nut-loving monsters!

Mine: So how does the ending of that comic goes?!

Mickie: The comic? Oh yeah, the ending was great! The aliens were defeated by being sucked out into space along with..the...sole...survivor... Uh oh.

Akame: Then it's time for us to change it for good. I will sent them to eternal rest.

Mickie: Whoa! Akame's so serious!
The seven of us caught up with Mikey, I heard him yell out his celebratory Booyakasha, but suddenly he was pulled back into a septic tank!
Everyone: Mikey!!

Luffy: I'll do it!

He pull his long stretchy arms to catch Mikey and Sparky just in time. I love it when he uses his stretchy powers! Rubber boy is so awesome!

Raph: You okay, little bro?

Mikey: I'm fine! No worries!

Rach: Can we go home now? I need to take a shower 'cuz I smell like if death could puke...

Mickie: (lightly sniffs her) Naaah, smells more like raw chicken doused in milk that's be sitting in the sun for a week.

Rach: Thanks for your opinion. (walks away)

Mickie: Well you do!

### Lair

#### Common Area

Back home, Mikey's bros were complimenting him on how he was the hero today. I was proud of him too. He was finally receiving credit for being the lovable goofball he was and that was the only happiness I needed at the time. However, Rat-Man came out and asked if about the possibility that the freaks will return.
Raph: No worries, Sensei. Those nut-loving freaks are gone for good!

Jolteon: Um actually, a bunch of sequel comics came out. The aliens come back!

I saw Rachie come out of the bathroom, rubbing her head dry with a towel from her shower.

Rach: Good. I need a rematch with those nut-hoarding Xenomorph ripoffs.

Mickie: Rachie, that's unlicensed and unauthorized copyrighted material! The creators are gonna get in so much trouble for that!

Miu: She must be high on drugs to be talking like that.

Don't worry, Brandon and Ciro, I got your backs, just like you got our shells. Well, I know Ciro does; Brandon just wants to makes as many horror movie parodies as possible.

Rin: Rachie, look what I found! (takes out Squirrelanoid head) It appeared near the manhole so I took it home.

Rach: (squeals happily) Rin, you're my homie!

Rin: Homie?

Rach: It means friend! Thank you! I'm *so* gonna hang this up in my room!

Raph: Don't hang it in my room!

Rach: Too late! (laughing)
