#mp!klunk

Mikey was playing with Klunk making snow angles with Klunk and Mayhem as Raph and Leo were rolling large snowballs on Donnie’s instruction he was sitting at the bottom of the hill waiting. Mikey and Klunk who was only a couple days away from removing her bandages. She was also wearing a warm white hoodie with a matching scarf. And was too busy playing together to notice. Draxum wasn’t ever going to pull them apart again. They were finally together. Mayhem did however see the incoming snow and disappeared.

“Bad!” Klunk shouted from his shoulders. Mikey yelped but it was too late they were both buried in a pile of snow as Donnie began to sing.

“Today hooray barometric pressure is so low! But my heart is all aglow revving up my Tech-BOoooooo!” He sang.

Mikey and Klunk yelped as they suddenly tumbled out in a pile of discarded snow. Donnie let out his signature laugh as they looked up to see he had carved it basically in the shape of Splinter in his glory days as Lou Jutsu. It took Mikey a lot of courage to note that Jupiter Jim was still a sore spot for him. But he could at least watch the movies now without flashing back to Moncrief.

"Snowday our snowman is the best Lou Jitsu fans will a-test!-" Krysta who now had a scar but still had sight in her left eye. Had her patch gone. And was wearing a long sleeved form fitting dark blue shirt brown jeans and a light blue scarf quickly fitted a couple of details onto him sang.

"Ohmigosh my coats a veeesssttt!" Mikey sang. With Mikey’s help like a cape he had managed to make on its back and a chest wig they snuck away from Splinter which Donnie had manage to fashion into a head one. Krysta placed in a set of polished rocks she had asked her friend from school to help her with, allowing for Lou Jitsu’s signature grin.

"Snowday horraay! We should be so proud. Snowday! All together sing outloud!" April sang before they all chimed in.

"Snooooowwdaaaaaayyy Horaaaaaaayyyyyy! YEAH!" 

“It’s perfect, but one last thing!” April said removing the gold colored pointed sunglasses from Leo’s face as they placed it on they declared the snowman finished.

“Great job fam….and Donnie I guess.” Leo joked admiring their work as Donnie scoffed.

“If I weren’t so enchanted by the Beauty of our replica of Papa in his glory days I’d probably say something like Look over there PUSH!” he shouted pushing Leo off to the side as the Slider yelped and landed face first into the snow.

“And for the cherry on top, this flag from Teriyaki Justice!” Raph added as he placed a flag pole in Snow Jitsu’s hand with a replica of the cover art for Teriyaki Justice on a flag that Splinter had made for him. Then Donnie asked for one. He had been as excited as a School girl about this. His movies never got flags and he seemed to be jealous that Moncrief’s did. Now he was making flags for the rest of them.

“Best Lou Jitsu movie of all time baby!!” Mikey said happily.

“Agreed!” Leo and Klunk said together.

“What?!” April yelped throwing the flag back into Raph’s face. “Hold up Skip!” April argued. “Little Tiger Salad of Cantine is the best Lou Jitsu movie of all time.”

“Preach!” Krysta added.

“It was ranked by us just now,” Donnie agreed, “So…It’s-basically-official-no-arguing!” Donnie added.

Raph, Leo and Klunk looked at each other before laughing loudly together. “Fifty percent of that movie is just Dad stuck in a maze of doom! And the maze wasn’t even that deadly!” Mikey explained.

“As opposed to the villains ten minute Monologue in Teriyaki, that brings the plot to a screeching halt and has a death trap that rips off James Bond?” Krysta asked flatly.

“Not to mention, every time we watch it you laugh your heads off.” April pointed out.

“That’s only because Raph always falls asleep and breaks something with his face!” Leo chuckled as Mikey and Klunk began laughing while Raph grinned pointing to said face, as they all thought about a time shortly Mikey first arrived home. And they watched it as Lou Jitsu had to jump on the heads of angry Alligators to progress through the maze as Raph had fallen asleep and landed chin first into the projector and crushed it much to Splinter’s Chagrin as Leo began laughing wildly.

“Yeah my face takes damage like a boss! Leo hit me!” Raph shouted.

“Oh please let me!” Donnie begged jumping up with his Tech bo activating his rocket extension as Mikey, Leo and Krysta tackled him to the ground Leo biting into his coat sleeve in an effort to get to skin.

Little did they know Snow bear had noticed Donnie trying to run towards them but was over powered by Raph. He had been singing Jingle Bells with nice and clean. “Tortugas in a family war!” he said grinning. He laughed. “These buttons I must push! You have may have stopped me from ruining your precious Pumpkin.” He said tip toeing before jumping up into a tree. “But I will make you ruin your precious day of Snow!” he said laughing maniacally.

As he snuck in closer with a snowball gripped in his hand he giggled taking aim. “I’m the oldest my flag wins! The end!” he declared as Donnie slid down his hand. Snow Bear immediately throw the ball at the back of his head knocking him over. He jumped back up. “Hey who threw that!? Was it Mayhem!? Or maybe Krysta!?” he said glaring and pointing at the two as Mayhem yelped and Krysta gave him a half lidded look.

“Raph you were looking right at us.” April argued flatly.

“That’s a convenient excuse April.” Leo muttered to them suspiciously grinning slyly.

“Yeah I can’t believe you would weaponize snow just to prove your flag is better than ours!” Raph snapped.

“Glad to hear you agree that our flag is better,” Donnie said folding his arms and nodding.

“Our Flag eats yours for lunch!” Mikey argued.

“Oh yeah?!” Krysta snapped.

“Yeah!” Mikey argued as they butt heads. Klunk’s against Mayhem’s, Leo’s against Donnie’s Mikey against April’s and Raph’s against Krysta’s.

“My plan is working!” Snow Bear said hopefully only for his hopes to be dashed.

“SNOW BALL FIGHT!” they all declared playfully.

“What?! No Not Snowball fight! Actual  fight!” Snow Bear begged.

“Yes! Last player standing gets to wave their team’s flag!” Raph declared.

“Yes!” April declared, leading her group. “We’re up for a friendly game no safe base no weapons NO MERCY!”

“And no corked Snow balls of any kind! Like Liberty Launchers, Ice balls, slush balls, Freddie Prinze Jrs. And Horse Hoppers.”

“Good idea Leo, we’re not savages after all.” Mikey chirped.

“Speak for yourself!” Donnie muttered malicious rubbing his hand over an ice ball as everyone got into positions.

“Ready…..” Raph said as everyone even Mayhem and Klunk got their own balls of Snow. “Set….SNOOOOWW!” he shouted but April had already pelted him in the face with the one she made. Everyone began laughing as they launched a flurry of snowballs at each other.

Snow bear scowled hatefully. “I hate them so much! One day I will ruin something they love!” he growled disappearing to storm off. As he went to return and shut himself into his apartment for the week and dream of the upcoming late spring when he would marry his beloved he was suddenly hit with a burst of snow that knocked him back and down the steps with a cry he was in a pile of snow against a large tree bear ass up.

X X X

Mikey and Klunk were on a sled facing off against April and Mayhem both the critters were throwing Snow balls trying to mess up the other’s pilot who also threw a couple of balls at their opponents.

April and Mayhem got two balls in blinding Mikey and Klunk causing them to veer off course. They shook the snow off and screamed when they saw the slide they had crashed right into both screamed as they went flying.

“Hooo boy!” Leo said excitedly as he carried a large pile of snow balls which he used to pelt, Donnie. Krysta however was using a Snow crowd for cover as she held a couple of her own. She dodged one when she poked her face out but got one in her face when she brushed it off she merely grinned evilly.

It had been a trap Donnie had used the time to recover and make a giant snow ball. “Hahahaha!” he laughed as he pelted Leo with a large snowball making him fall back as Mikey and Klunk were still in the air.

A stray snowball had hit Tiger Claw while he was in the park he shook it off and looked around Smiling when he saw where it came from.

X X X

Raph was sneaking around a bunch of snowmen holding a large snowball but one of them glanced after him robotic arms all holding snowballs. Donnie jumped out. “Archimedes!” as he threw an absolute barrage that not only took down Raph but slaughtered all the snowmen leaving several killed and a few to tend to the survivors one even was down on a stretcher.

“Time out! Time out! TIME OUT!” Raph shouted as the sun began to set and they were sitting around one of the fire pits with hot cocoa as the Snapper poured himself a cup. “Haha you got me good back there Donnie,” Raph complimented. “but the game ain’t over yet!” he warned.”

“Yes but when it is my Flag will grave our statue and wave like a queen to her subjects!”  Donnie replied cockily as Mikey and Klunk screamed crashing nearby.

“Mikey!?” Raph yelped.

“Snow Day hooray!” the two happily said together as Mikey sat up.

“Dudes that was incredible what was your hang time; one maybe two paragraphs?” Leo asked handing his little brother his own cup of hot chocolate as he got one for Klunk who held it with a hand on her tail tip they both sipped.

“I agree that was sweet sledding you two.” Donnie added as Klunk having taken a sip purred and hummed in delight followed by Mikey.

“Mmmm!” Mikey said feeling a delightful blend of vanilla and white chocolate hitting his tongue. It had the aftertaste of Hazelnut and cinnamon. “This is amazing, how did Shelldon make this?!”

“He used Google in his now secondary housekeeping program to find the recipe came from Tiger Salad. Perhaps now you’ll appreciate it’s superiority a little more.” Donnie replied egotistically.

“We would if you’d let us finish it. You three are always screaming like Banshees when we get to the climax and we can’t hear anything!” Leo complained. “And Krysta has a good pair of lungs on her because on her own she made it ten times worse!”

“Well, excuse me for getting excited.” Krysta snipped. “Wait!” she gasped her brain catching up. “You four never finished it!?”

“Is that the only reason you don’t like it!?” April interrogated. “No wonder you guys don’t think it’s the best movie!”

“That is it I am putting our flag up there right now!” Donnie declared spitefully however before he could something swooped by him and snatched the flag out of his hand.

“Good work Klunk!” Mikey called as she used her new wings to fly over to Mikey who was quickly lifted up on Leo’s shoulder’s by said slider. Raph then put Leo on top of him. They grinned triumphantly.

“Can’t get me from up here!” Klunk boasted.

“Mayhem,” April called unphased by their team work. Mayhem immediately teleported up to Klunk’s level and snatched the flag away before teleporting in front of Raph’s face and slashing at it causing Raph to yelp and stumble as the tower fell to the ground and fell apart.

Krysta laughed holding her stomach as Mayhem triumphantly returned with the Flag and let April take it.

“Oh that is fun for me,” Donnie said sipping his hot chocolate with an evil eye smile.

Raph let out a girlish battle cry. “Breaks over game on!” he declared as Leo, Klunk and Mikey were back on their feet. But April was fast with a snowball and knocked Raph over. The Thud he made had unknowingly to them knocked over the hot chocolate some of it spilling below towards a frozen Oozequito that dug itself out of the snow and began to fly on its mission. It suddenly saw pale bare caramel skin with an orange Pajama jumper. It flew over and bit it.

Snow Bear suddenly awoke feeling something inside of him as his teeth and eyes changed to be more sharp and feral. He let out several frenzied cries as the snow broke around him and the Oozequito left as it broke and he pulled on arm from the snow he let out a roar.

“What?!” April asked as everyone stopped for a moment.

“Did anyone hear like a really sick bird or something?” Leo asked.

“Sounded like a dying Manatee.” Krysta replied. As something began stalking them in the trees behind them with the sun completely set now. It was then a blur of white and orange jumped out at them and landed in the rising blood moon grinning yellow carnivorous teeth glistening at them.

“Peek-a-boo losers!” he sneered in a familiar voice. He laughed then they saw a familiar mask on his face.

“GHOST BEAR!?” Leo, Mikey, Klunk, April and Mayhem cried in shock together and worry.

“Who?!” Krysta asked.

“He’s a mean Ex-Wrestler that wants to get back at us for ruining his Wrestling Career!” Mikey whimpered.

“Didn’t he like cheat his way up there in the first place?” Krysta asked logically.

“That only got out because of them!” Ghost Bear growled pointing at the turtles.

“To be fair Mikey wasn’t even there!” Donnie pointed out.

“To be balanced, me and Klunk did stop him from wrecking your Pumpkin.” Mikey added.

“That too!” Snow Bear agreed.

“Ghost Bear!” Raph cheered when he finally stopped oogling his newly Mutated form but still had stars in his eyes. “Love the New Look!” he cheered as he rushed over, “ooh Hey can I get a quick Selfie!?” He asked pulling out his phone and taking several with Snow Bear while he looked star struck and jovial Snow Bear looked annoyed.

“Ohhh every single time with this guy!” Donnie groaned annoyed with his brother’s antics.

“Raph you know he’s threatening us right!?” Krysta called as Snow Bear pulled up a punch.

“How about a scar to remember me by!” he snarled.

“Raph look out!” Mikey screamed however Ghost Bear’s arm suddenly turned a translucent blue and went right through Raph. He smiled and got another Selfie as Ghost bear pulled back in confusion both hands had become this now.

“What is this?!” he asked in shock. He grunted with some focus and his hands returned to normal. “I can switch between Bear and Ghost!” he said in surprise. He chuckled before slugging Raph so hard he was launched across the area towards a large tree.

Raph grunted as he slid down the tree trunk, squeaking in pain. “Omigosh Raph!” Mikey shouted rushing to his side.

“That was….Powerful!” Krysta muttered in fear.

“He hit Raph so hard he almost went through our snowman!” April cried.

“But the Snowman’s okay right?!” Leo asked. But he sadly gave Snow Bear an idea, an awful idea. A wonderful awful idea! The Bear Mutant’s lips curled into a wide creepy venomous smile as he looked at Snow Jitsu.

“So it’s the Man of snow that you love!” He asked in revelation the grin becoming, toothier by the second. “Then I will destroy it!” he shouted with a mighty roar scarring everyone, before charging right at them.

“Uh Mayhem little help!?” Leo asked as he zipped back to the lair where Splinter was sowing more flags briefly getting the Rat’s attention as he teleported away with April, Raph, Leo and Mikey’s weapons.

So far Krysta had lifted Snow Jitsu off the ground with a tower of ice and was trying to slow him down in a blizzard that wasn’t working as Mad Dogz jumped all over trying to weigh him down. It was at that moment however he sent them flying into Krysta and all of them crashed into the ice pillar that thankfully held.

“He’s too powerful Leo, sacrifice yourself to defeat him!” Donnie stated as Mikey and Krysta quickly turned on him.

“DONNIE!” they shouted in shock. However in that moment Mayhem had returned with April’s bat Mikey’s Nun Chucks Raph’s Sai and Leo’s twin Katana.

“Yeah!” they all cheered.

“Thanks buddy!” April praised as they raised their weapons.

“Okay fam no one messes with our snowman! Now let’s beat this Bozo Bear like Lou Jitsu beat the Mafia!” Raph declared.

“How dare you use this dire Moment to plug in your obviously inferior movie!” Donnie snapped venomously. However Snow Bear was already lunging at them and basically brought Snow Jitsu and his tower of safety down on top of them.

They screamed when they saw what happened. Mikey hung his head tearing up a little as Krysta and Klunk comforted him and Snow Bear let out a maniacal laugh.

“Bein!” he hissed.

“BAD!” Klunk snarled at him.

“You’re a monster!” Leo snapped sliding forward and pointing one of his Katana accusatorily at the Mutant. “Not because you look that way!” he disclaimed.

“But because you ruined something we all collectively cherished and days before Christmas! BAH HUMBUG UPON YOU SIR HUMBUG!!” Donnie growled dramatically pulling up beside him.

“Yeah we all love Lou Jitsu!” Raph growled. It was then he realized something and turned back to the others. “Which movie is better doesn’t even matter! And if I’m being honest I like how Donnie explains how all the Traps work in Tiger Salad.”

“I’ll admit I do like the Spanish accent Leo is stuck in after we watch Teriyaki Justice.”

“Ci, It be eh-too hard to eh-stop.” Leo said in said accent.

“Looks both movies have aspects we like.” Mikey said.

“Yeah! I honestly like both.” Klunk admitted.

“It’s watching them together and the memories we share of them as a family that makes them special!” April added.

“Alright bring it in!” Raph said he April, Leo, Mikey, Donnie, Klunk and Mayhem hugged. Krysta hung back Leo held out a hand with a smile she took it and was instantly pulled into the hug.

“Awwww,” Krysta hummed feeling the love.

“Hello Villain over here!” Ghost Bear called.

“Do you mind? We’re having a moment.” Krysta snipped.

Ghost Bear snarled animalistically and attacked them. Sending them flying back. “That’s it!” Raph growled. “Mad Dogz!” he called. They all shouted Hot Soup as they attempted to attack Ghost Bear.

Raph rushed first the tips of his Sais poised to scratch him. However Ghost Bear had quickly mastered his Powers and stood proudly as he let Raph phase through before grabbing him from the neck of his coat and throwing him into Donnie.

Leo let out a battle cry with both swords in his hands. He slashed rapidly at Ghost Bear who merely became intangible as Leo tired himself out. He then sucker punched Leo as Krysta came forward with a punch and Mikey from behind him with both Nun chucks spinning he let them crash into each other with a tumble as April and Klunk now a Leopard double teamed him. Ghost bear merely let Klunk pass through grab her and throw her into April before letting out a roar and leaping into the air to slam his fists on them.

The two girls yelped as he came down when he did however he found them gone. He smirked and looked around. “Looossseeers come out and play….” He mockingly called.

They had all climbed up in a tree Mikey, Klunk, Leo and Donnie in one. Krysta, April Raph and Mayhem in the other.

“Should we call animal control?” Leo asked subtly suggesting.

“We could use the Flags to blind him.” April exclaimed.

“But Ghost Bear only stays solid when he’s attacking us!” Mikey warned. Raph shushed them but suddenly their tree went falling down from Ghost Bear snapping it in two.

Then Ghost Bear moved onto their tree. “Uh oh!” Raph muttered as theirs came down and they all screamed. Raph saw stars as Mayhem, April and Krysta landed on top of him groaning. It was then he remembered something from Tiger Salad. It was of Lou Jitsu running on a large log.

“I’ve got it!” he exclaimed. “You guys stay close enough so he stays solid. “We’re gonna send him rolling like Lou Jitsu was.”

“Huh, full circle.” Donnie noted as Ghost Bear was now tracking them down.

“You hoo! Fuzzy, wuzzy bear man!” April called shaking her hips mockingly. Ghost Bear growled at her but as he began to charge Mayhem teleported both himself and Klunk onto his shoulders where they pulled the flags over his face.

He started screaming. “AHHH I’m afraid of the Dark!” he screamed as Mikey followed up using his Nun Chucks to tie up his arms he was stumbling a little bit as Raph managed to break down a large Tree that was sent rolling as Leo used his Katanas to send it through a portal behind Ghost Bear and have him stumble on. With a cry as Mayhem teleported himself and Klunk off into the arms of April and Mikey respectively.  Ghost Bear began rolling down the steep hill. As Krysta and Donnie got ready.

“Try to Phase through the sculpture made by our Hexagonal crystal solid A.K.A Ice!” Donnie shouted as both he and the Fox Mutant put together a large Ramp that sent him flying far into the sky.

“Look mommy it’s Santa Claus!” shouted a little boy pointing to the sky.

“Oh Sweetie, Santa won’t be doing his rounds until tomorrow. And he’ll be on the other side of the World.” Said his mother as Ghost Bear flew past them and crashed into the Dumpster by a Walmart at the bottom of the hill outside of the Park.

It didn’t take them long to rebuild the Snow Man but it took them a few minutes to track everything down. But soon Snow Jitsu was as good as new. “Okay we’ve got both flags on and we’re ready!” Krysta said as she and Mikey held up the Flag Pole together having put both Flags upon it.

“I’ve got a better idea.” Raph said as he took off his scarf took off the flags and replaced them on the pole with his scarf. Then motioned the others to do the same. Soon Snow Jutsu was holding a flag with the scarves they were wearing in the order of White, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green light Blue, blue and then purple. “Since we all love Lou Jitsu equally. And worked together to send Ghost Bear flying off. I say our flag should represent all of us!” he said as he put his arms around Leo and Donnie as the others smiled.

“Hey wait a minute, how come Klunk’s is on top?” Leo asked.

“Don’t worry about it.” Mikey replied.

X X X

It was late they had climbed on the bus to get home and sat in the nearest seats one more day then on Saturday they’d be marathoning every Classic Christmas special. Which Mikey and Klunk we’re excited for.  But right now they were just trying to stay awake until they could make it back to where the Lair was an April’s apartment.

As they did there was some kind of Jingle that suddenly played.

“I-I don’t want….aaa lot foooorr Christmas,” Everyone minus Krysta, Mayhem Klunk and Mikey groaned. “There is just one thinnngg I neeeeedddd.” Donnie let out a muffled grunt as he slowly began to raise his Tech-Bo with the taser function out as he had a strained bug eyed look on his face. “I Don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree” As it was rising Leo and Raph looked tiredly over and pushed his arms down as they were rising.

It was over in five minutes as Leo groaned muttered three hundred times a week under his breath. Mikey then noticed something incredible he immediately pulled the chain to stop the bus and ran out.

“Whoa Mikey what’s wrong!?” Raph shouted as they all hopped up and rushed after him. They immediately realized that they were at Rockafeller center the blue snowflake lights zipped around on the buildings surrounding it’s yearly center piece the giant Christmas tree. Sure they had theirs up but nothing could compare to this legendary sight.

They had seen it with their Dad a couple of times. Once with April. Klunk and Mayhem gazed in awe at it. Krysta ooed in marvel. Mikey however was completely captivated at it. He had never seen this and was starring amazed a wide smile of wonder appearing on his face.

Leo smiled at him. It had been a few weeks but Mikey was acting more and more like a normal kid (Well Mutant Kid anyway,) every day and that seemed to the best gift too him. He had been worried Mikey would’ve been broken forever. But something about this Christmas seemed to fill them all with hope this year.
