Kindness

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone…quote by Audrey Hepburn.

Disclaimer: I do not own TMNT 2012, Nickelodeon owns them. This is the remake of the TMNT 2K12 where Mikey is hatched a girl, if you don't like genderbending and find yourself disliking it, then please with respect leave with no comment! Now, on with the show.

In the Kraang secret hidden base has always been eerie and cold, but now there is uproar.

Dozens of Kraang droids are running to the sound of what seems a vicious fight from up ahead, it seems one prisoner has surprisingly escaped from its prison confinement. Just as they about to turn to the next hallway when a metal arm of a Kraang was thrown on the floor before they stopped them from turning. Two of the Kraang who are in the lead are talking to each other in a language they only understand.

Then they react when they saw the creature right before them, towering over them making the Kraangs look puny, the creature is large and hidden from the light and has numerous cables from its limb. The creature runs away while the Kraang takes pursuit on the escaped creature.

The escaped creature is running with rigid breath and white-hot pain scorching in his body, protesting him to stop at once and rest, but he can't allow himself to rest not right after he stole Kraang's precious item. It is vital to him as to the Kraangs, and he will make sure that they won't ever see it again.

He swiftly turns left to the hallway and the Kraang are following him stubbornly, but they halted when they found themselves two hallways. They would've split up when the sound of horrifying roar stiff them, its close by but where?

Two of the Kraang from the back take a few steps back without noticing that they have sealed their doom when the creature that they are perusing is hiding behind the crates with eyes are glowing white with menace and hatred to the Kraang, and attacked the two by throwing them at the other two Kraang droid.

However, he alerts the remaining Kraangs and they start shooting the creature with no mercy, the creature growl, and howl in terrible pain, he tries to get away but he was overwhelmed by sheer hurt. One Kraang found the creature's chest exposed and shoot right at where his heart is and the creature grunt and fell down.

The Kraangs watches carefully to see if the creature is down but they see no movement which means he's dead, and then they look under the palm of his hand to see something glowing in pink color and they are confirmed this is their stolen item. Convinced that the create is dead they stepped forward to retrieve it, but the creature opened his eyes revealing pure white of hate and pupil silted. He was faking his death and attacked the remaining attackers with his super strength.

He finally rid of those ugly Kraangs that caused him but cruelty and misery, he winces when his chest hurt from the laser; he needs to get out of here now. With his mighty roar, he charges at the wall and broke through as lands on the street and continues to run.

More identical Kraang droids flood the street where the creature had escaped from their lair, but they didn't find it anywhere. They each split up to find it and the item it had stolen from Kraang.

Said creature had found manhole cover and took refuge in the sewers where it deems safe…for now. But he has the Kraang's precious power source and without it they are powerless, and he'll keep it that way by any means necessary as he growls in determination.

Six months later.

Underneath the streets of Manhattan, through the labyrinth of pipes and sewer tunnels, follow the lost railway that would lead to the abandoned subway station that hasn't been used in years but it is now a home to our favorite, one of a kind, and unlikeliest of families, the Hamato Clan.

First, there is a Father who once born a man and mutated later into a man-sized rat, he goes by the name of once Hamato Yoshi, but now he is Splinter. He is raising four adopted mutant children with honor, love, and care like no other, teaching them the Art of Ninja to defend themselves and protect to those in need and to say Splinter is very proud of his children.

Now Splinter's children or should I say, teenagers, are not normal-looking but they are the nicest bunch. The Eldest of the four is Leonardo the leader. Calm, serious, matured, the most focused, dedicating his time to Ninjutsu, and he's a Space Hero fanboy. But his greatest honor is his family and he is an iron wall that will protect his family from anyone or anything, that's his role as leader and eldest brother. Second eldest is Raphael the hot-headed muscle of the family. Tough, sarcastic, mean at times but he is not what everyone thinks of him, he has a tender side when caring for his pet turtle, Spike but he is, without question, that he is loyal to the fault and passionate fighter, and he cares deeply for his siblings. Then come the third eldest of brothers is Donatello the genius in both technical and medical, he is caring, kind, compassionate to his inventions, but he can be easily frustrated from under pressure resulting it into shouting at anyone's face, and let's not forget he has a big huge crush on April O'Neil. Now comes right after the youngest of the Hamato family and possibly the only female mutant turtle, and her name is Michelangela. She is the smallest, shortest of Turtle but her innocence and naivety are big. She is optimistic, positive, adaptable, and extremely creative to her artwork, food, and skills. Master Splinter believed that his daughter is most potential because of her raw talent, agility, and her flexibility that almost seem impossible and fight without thinking, and she could be very well better than her three brothers combined. Although, she may have this gift she is not cocky about it she is gifted for having such big heart of gold, holds no grudge to her enemies, and she is unknowingly the most protected by her family members, for they will do within their power to keep her safe from harms.

Now, we look to see three brothers doing nothing but to enjoy their relaxing night since they're taking a night off which means no patrolling. Each of them doing their things like Leo watching Space Heroes, Donnie sitting on his sofa with his laptop on his laps typing on something, and Raph is playing pinball to beat Leo's high score. Yep, they're having normal good time.

But, wait! Where is Michelangela?

We find Mikey in the kitchen doing one of her experiment of making her delicious stew to make even more delicious. She is grinding and mixing her spices in a small bowl before she dipped her green pinky in the spice and licks it, taste it and she hums.

"Need a pinch of Rosemary." After adding Rosemary to the mix she re-tastes it and this time she hums in content.

"Perfecto!" then she pours all the spices in the stew and stirs it with her big spoon.

The spices have made the delicious effect as the mouth-watering fragrance overwhelmed her nose, she begins to hum while she stirs her new famous stew that will sure make her big brothers drool and slurp all the stew clean.

Then an animated of stew's scent start to dance around and glide it's way to the living room in lazy motion, you would think this is impossible but you see it so things can happen.

The living stew's scent has reached its destination where Maddie's brothers are minding their own business will soon become its victim, once it enters their mind and makes them hungry for the irresistible stew.

So the scent divide itself into three and they glide lazily yet gracefully to its three victims as Leonardo, Raphael, and Donatello are completely unaware of it, and like a silent Ninjas they attack in their nostrils all at the same time, and then it happens.

The three bothers of blue, red, and purple start to whiff, then whiff, and then they took a big long whiff and they slumped like heavy drinkers.

They abandoned everything and they rushed to the kitchen like racing cars, heck you can even hear the engine roaring to get to the finish line.

Once they reached their destination they let their jaws slacked open, tongue out, and heavy animated drool coming out of their lips as their eyes glazed at bubbling stew on the stove.

"Oh yeah baby, Mikey's famous pot stew!" said Raph as he rubbed his palms hands up and down with hunger in his eyes.

"What's the occasion?" Leo asked while eyeing at the stew.

"Oh no reason, I was experimenting on my latest newest creation on new spices which I have April to thank her for, and bibbidi bobbidi boo the stew is now perfecto." She said with pride as she continues to stir.

"Mmm! It smells good too, can't wait to dig in." Donnie is getting impatient and hungrier by the minute.

"It'll be done in a few more minutes, D." she promised.

"Can't wait and what can go better with stew…is some nice chunky bread," Raph exclaimed.

"Yeah, we found a couple of night ago, good thing we found them before it wastes away. I can't believe they would throw them away." Leo replies.

"Who cares? It's ours now." As Raph said it he opens the cabinet to get the bread but suddenly he found something else, he found an uninvited, unwelcome guest. Sewer rats and they are munching on their bread.

"HEY! That's mine." He dives in to catch those thieving rodents but the rats saw it coming and scatter while one of them has the unfinished bread.

"Hey! Get back here, you hairy imps!"

"They're getting away!"

"Stop the one who has our bread." No amount of training that Master Splinter can ever help them to catch one measly rat who it uses its size and speed to outrun and outsmart those green giants.

The big rat that has the bread made a funny face to taunt them, it got one red Turtle to fume like a geyser and made a stampede like a fast train but he is not alone, Leo is also fuming as Raph and charging at the taunting rat but the rat got them right what it wants them. Waiting for the right moment, it waits, five centimeter, four, three, almost within range, and then both turtle of blue and red jump at the same time to catch that rat, and the rat smirk and run to the side just as Leo and Raph collide at each other and fell in heap of pain, while the rat laugh at them.

When suddenly the rat noticed a shadow overwhelmed him and turn his head backward to find Donnie above him with a scowl on his face.

"Hand over the bread and no one gets hurt, accurately you." Then he draws out his Bo Staff and pointing threateningly at the thieving rat and squeaked in alarm as it held his bread to his furry chest.

Donnie didn't move an inch as he posed his threat at the rat to give back what he stole, but his plan got backfired when his Bo Staff has been snatched right out his hand swiftly, causing Donnie to blink in confusion and turn around to find who took it, only to choke at the culprit.

"MIKEY!"

"Don't you hurt that poor little guy!" Mikey took his brother's staff before he can hurt this cute thing. Like I said before, Mikey has a heart of gold and cute furry animals happen to be her weakness and love for them, big or small that needed to be rescued from her brothers.

The rat is no question like the orange girl turtle a lot, all sewer rats like her because she is very nice and always lend some food to them.

The big rat squeaked again only this time to call out other rats to retreat, they escaped through the stairs, but not before the big rat with the bread thanked Mikey for her help and left to join the others. Mikey smile and wave when suddenly the happy atmosphere suddenly went below zero, which can only mean her brothers are now sour for what she did.

She is forced to turn to face them with her finger twiddle nervously as she laughs nervously as well, but it did not ease the tension and cause her to look down.

"How could you let it get away with our bread?" Raphael is not very happy, to say the least when he saw everything that happened before him, and Leonardo and Donatello shared the same look.

When Mikey didn't answer her Brother Raphael proceed to voice out his annoyance.

"This was our only bread, Donnie had that little sucker right what he wants him and you snatched his Staff and saving those stinkin' vermin as they run off with our bread, what the shell, Maddie!?" Maddie decided she should stand up for herself, she raised her head and look at them in their eyes with ferocity…well, it's not the fierce look she only made herself pout like a child who can't have its way.

"These poor things are way hungrier than us so they need the bread more than we do, and I can't let you hurt them either," Mikey exclaimed she did justice here by helping the little guys regardless of making her big brother upset.

Raph just growled by facepalming while Leo looks calm to the whole thing before he sighs and shakes his head at his young brother's outburst and his baby sister's defense. He looks down on her and begins to talk.

"Look, we understand how compassionate you are to animals but they are time and place where you can show your compassionate side…and having the rats steal our bread…not right time and place!" his calm demeanor changed instantly to bothersome one, and Mikey's pout deflated and feel bad for it, till she got an idea when she grins brightly.

"Here's an idea I'll go to April's place, ask her for her bread, come back here and we'll have ourselves some tasty grub and forget the whole thing happened. Like Master Splinter always say," then she starts to imitate her Father by posing straight, stroking her invincible beard, and deepen her voice.

"What happened in the past is in the past we must look ahead to the future!" I have to say her imitation for Splinter was rather good if you ask me.

Donnie looks he wanted to laugh at this but held it in as he keeps his composure together but he let a ghost of smirk placed on his face, Raph just rolled his eyes at his baby sister's ridiculous act, and Leo just looks at her with a disapproving look, not liking the idea for letting her sister go alone. No way, no how.

"Forget it, it's too dangerous to go off alone" it Mikey groan so loud before she speaks.

"Chill, bro, I'll just use the shortest route it'll lead me to April's faster like ten minutes and I'll come back home before you can say cheese sticks, cool?"

Leo isn't entirely convinced of this but the rumble in his stomach speak otherwise and she did say it'll take a few minutes, and she isn't going topside she'll be in the sewers tunnels till she gets to April's place. He guessed that is okay as long she stays safe.

"Alright, but you stay on the same path, no shortcuts!"

"I know!"

"If any of the workers are close by you hide, got it?"

"I know~"

"Keep the T-phone open at all times and don't play video games with it and…"

"No bringing anything from April, no bringing any treasures I found in sewage, and if I hear anything suspicious I call you guys right away and I stay put like the good girl I am! Okay, okay I get it now, now may I go, please?" she pleaded and using her big baby blue puppy eyes as a plus to go now, Leo shakes his head as he pulls out a tolerating smile.

"Very funny, but I'm serious, okay. The Kraang and the Foot haven't been causing trouble lately for all we know they could be up to something big, so be on high alert…and be careful, okay." Leo will continue to worry for his younger siblings but Mikey is his youngest and only sister, he always keep constant visual at her without a thought of blinking, making sure nothing happen to her or so help him if someone hurt his sister they will feel his wrath.

"Leo, I'll be fine." She assured him then she notices that Raph and Donnie share the same feeling of worry as Leo.

"Hey, no one will ever think of coming near me or they will feel my Hot Nunchaku Fury." Then she shows off her killing moves in front of her Brothers with her special killing moves, then she puts away her weapon, turns off the stove, grabs her skateboard, but before she goes she turns to her brothers and says.

"And besides none of that robot or the Foot know where we live so we're cool, what could possibly go wrong, right?" then she left with her skateboard on, disappeared as she turns left and straight to April's.

She does have point there, none of their enemies knows where their hideout is so that deemed it safe, they guessed they were exaggerating a bit, and nothing can go wrong as long Madalynne stay on her path.

The brothers went back where they left off as they are waiting for Mikey's return with the bread, in the meantime Leonardo continues to watch a new episode of Space Heroes where he sees his favorite character Captain Ryan is cradling hundreds upon hundreds of cute pink fluff balls aliens like children, however cute as they are but they are the most annoying bunch in known cosmos with all their honking noises that seem no end of it.

He continues to watch and listen as Captain's Private is asking desperately to his Captain to get rid of this creature in a most human way, as usual, Captain Ryan his hero always have a solution to everything. So he did the most human way of humanity, he orders his Privet to unlock the airlock and he did and all those cute pink balls of fluff suck out to oblivion and Captain Ryan just smirked victoriously.

Raphael was watching this stupid show with the grinning Leonardo with a scowling look that indicates can-this-show-get-any stupider. So it's time to embarrass Leo and his stupid show.

"You have to be the only person in the world who liked this show?" he teases but Leo utterly denies it.

"No way! There's millions of Space-nix out there." He said with clear proof that he is not alone who watches this amazing show, Raph just shakes his head at his older brother's fascination with this lame show.

Raphael suddenly smirk when he notices that his older brother held out a remote so he swiftly took it from his hand which surprises Leo and frown, Raph takes good pleasure of teasing and start to flip channels till he stops when he saw an urgent news with Joan Grody.

"I am Joan Grody with Sewer Shocker," that got all the turtle brothers attention after they heard the title that involves their home, that can't be good.

"Sewer Worker attacked…by mutants?" the three terrapins gasp in shock as they watch a clear photo of the Worker who is the eyewitness who saw it all.

How can be? None of them had come to any close contact with another human. Then the reporter enlarges a video with Sewer Worker as he is telling a terrible experience that happened to him.

"It was like part man, part reptile, and all monster," he said as he waves his hands up to describe how big and scary that monster was.

"He came out of nowhere and attacked me." He whimpered like a scared child still traumatized by his encounter with the beast.

Both Leonardo and Donatello turn to look at Raph with the silent question of 'did you attack that worker when you were angry?' Raphael noticed the stare from both of them and quickly oppose.

"It wasn't me!" it was a relief to hear didn't hurt this Worker out of anger…for once. They quickly turn back at the T.V screen to hear more.

"Take a look at this terrifying footage." She said as another video appeared and enlarges it for people to see and for mutant turtles as well.

They see the same Worker before he got tormented by an attack, it looks to them that the Worker was working on making a documentary about his job in the sewer.

"So, some people think that sewers are dark and scary, but actually it's a lot…" then the Worker was cut off what he was going to say next when he heard a vicious growl from behind him, he turns around and screamed in bloody terror when he saw what looked to be a giant Alligator and it starts roaring at the Worker.

"AHHH! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" no can make out what happened but it looks like the Worker must've dropped his video camera and the camera manages to catch a monster in full length, and my God it looks horrific.

Then the video shrunk back and the reporter Joan Grody appears once again with extreme seriousness on her face.

"Are malicious mutants menacing Manhattan? Find out next on Grody TO THE MAX." and that concludes the urgent news, but the mutant brothers are in doozy here, if the large mutant is here in the sewers that could only mean trouble for them.

"I got a bad feeling about this." Donnie broke the silence first.

"The last thing we want is some mutant causing trouble in the sewers!" Leo exclaimed and stands up in a show of worry creased on his scale face.

"Or some news crew down here looking for him." Then Raph said in possible worst case scenario if they find this mutant they will surely discover them as well.

They need to find him before any more people find him first, then Leonardo voice out his plan in full leader mode.

"We gotta track this guy down and stop him ourselves!"

"Hey, wait a minute!" Donnie suddenly remembered something while watching the news he saw something that will lead to the mutant, thanks to his photographic memory.

"Let's rewind this; I think I saw a tunnel number!" Donnie pressed a rewind button and waits for one scene that he saw before till he found it and pressed pause immediately, and there it is a tunnel number from where the Sewer Worker first saw the large mutant monster.

"There! Tunnel 281!" he found it.

"Alright! Now we have to use stealth and cunning when we confront the mutant and then…" than Leo suddenly blinked in realization.

"Wait!? Did you say tunnel 281?" Leo turns to face Donnie with a question on his face, Donatello confused at that question.

"Uh yeah that what I just said, this is the same tunnel where the mutant…" and then it was Donnie turn to suddenly stop what he's saying after he hit with horrible realization, and Raph joined with the same facial expression as his brothers.

"Isn't it…Mikey using this route to get to April's house and back here by passing by that tunnel?" Raphael seriously hoped is not, but to his worse fear, Donnie replies.

"It is and Maddie will be on her way at any minute now!" with alarming pace Leonardo bring his T-phone, dialed Maddie's number, and press talk and he waits. But it seems it got worse when his phone made a beeping sound which means Mikey's T-phone is off.

"Oh no! She has her phone but she forgot to charge its battery, her phone is dead!"

"What are we standing around here for? We gotta hustle before that crazy thing finds her!" and without another word, Raph runs out of the lair and into finding his baby sister.

Leo and Donnie quickly follow him without argument because there is no time to waste in arguing, their sister is unknown to the mutant that lurks in the dark sewer and if that monster finds her first they can't imagine the horrors when she encounters it.

They race through the tunnels and quietly pray they get to her in time before it's too late.

However, their prayers have not been reached because Mikey is skating her way to the lair and she is getting close to tunnel 281 where the beast is hiding in there.

But she doesn't know that as she enjoys her time in humming and singing with carefree spirit, with three loaves of bread she borrowed from April, but she really shouldn't give her three pieces of bread but she was so sweet of her since it's enough for three hungry mutant turtles, herself, and Master Splinter. So she insisted and Maddie couldn't refuse this generous offer.

She looks around to see that she's getting close to the tunnel 281 to bypass it and then take a left turn and she'll be back home. She remembered when she passed the tunnel to get to April's place she had noticed a caution tape of warning sealing anyone from going in, she had wondered what's going on or what's in there? She shrugged it off probably some maintenance need to be fixed or something, so she ignored it.

She glances up to see the familiar tunnel of 281 and the tapes, she is almost home as she could imagine her big brothers are hungry for her stew. The moment she passed the tunnel and just only centimeter away she was stopped by an earsplitting roar echoing from within the tunnel 281.

She turned around with big wide eyes of unnerving surprise, the roar was absolutely scary she can't remember any mutant who possessed that kind of roar, not even in her comic book or manga (I have no idea how can she distinguish the sound from fictional books and the real world is beyond me!).

Then the roar alerted her again, however, the first time she heard it was scary but the second time it sounded like he is in terrible pain, it hurts her heart to have of heard it but the tiny rational side of her that she shouldn't jump to conclusion when she's all alone, maybe she can call her brothers now.

She quickly got her T-phone out of her belt and begin dialing but soon find out that her phone will not blink to open, she tries many times to get this stupid thing to flash open, but then realization hit her like a punch in the gut. She forgot to charge her T-phone and now it is dead.

"Well, that just great." She mutters cynically, she is going to get an earful from all three of her brothers for being thoughtless.

And again the anguished roar was heard almost it's crying for her help, she had thought of going back to her bothers and tells them what's going on but that thought is upsetting, because she can't find it in her heart to leave to whoever was in pain, but the other thought will go against Leo's rules, she can go in alone, find this creature, and help him somehow.

Go to her brother and get help from them but she'll be risking the creature's life, or she can go in, ignore her brother's rules and rescue the guy like the heroes in her comics and mangas, and get grounded for the rest of her life with no comics, no mangas, no pizza, and no watching T.V.

"I am so getting grounded!" she mumbled because she knows it will happen.

Without further thinking it over, she moved the tapes away to get through and follow the trail to save whoever is in there, with the thought of rescuing, despite the corollary is dire.

So, what do you think? I hope everyone will be excited when the next chapter comes. That's all and tune in for the next chapter of Tamed by Kindness.
