Who are you: volume 2

Krang-Raph

"Usagi!" Donnie and Leo yelled together, though Donnie was angrier while joy danced across Leo's face. Leo laughed as let his brothers go and ran over to Usagi, hugging him with a bright smile. Usagi was shocked by this, and his arms hovered around Leo's body. He looked to the others for advice, and all saw them motioning for him to hug Leo back. He sighed and hugged Leo back, a smile on his face as he patted Leo's shell. "Nice to see you're back to your old self." Usagi said, the two separating as Leo rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah... I was kinda being a jerk before." Leo admitted and held his fist to Usagi. Usagi rolled his eyes with a smirk as he bumped his fist to Leo's and both then proceeding to imitate an explosion sound. "Okay, before this gets too mushy, we need to locate Raph." Leo said and turned to Donnie. "Donnie, can you tell me if he's in the building?" Leo asked, Donnie smiled smugly.

"Bet your momma's subatomic particles I can." Donnie said, turning away and activating the tracker with his wrist gauntlet. "Got him! He's close." Donnie said as he saw the tracker blinking as other icons symbolizing his brothers, sister, friends and dad surrounded the Raph Icon. "He's almost on top of us. Wait, he is on top of us." Donnie said, his screen fizzling and glitching as a drop of Krang tissue landed on it. It caused Donnie to look up and gasp, everyone followed his gaze and saw why the biomass hadn't reacted to them and that it was all leading to a single place. In the dead center of the ceiling, was a giant orb which held a giant figure inside, one that everyone recognized. Everyone yelled out the elder brother's name before Leo looked at the others. "Quick, cut him down, get him out of there!" Leo yelled, Venus and Casey reacted quickly and cut down the main support beams, the ball falling to the ground with almost no movement.

Everyone gasped in fear and began to try and tear the sludge, but it had no effect as Casey was ready to cut more as Venus spun her fans. But both stopped as they heard someone behind them, Leo held his katana and sliced the sludge open enough for Leo to shove himself in a pull Raph out. "Hang on, Big Brother. We got you, almost there." Leo said as Usagi helped him out since he was closest. Venus shoved her fans back into their hostlers as Leo held Raph's shoulder, seeing the turtle in red be unresponsive. "Raph?" Leo voice asked quietly, fear laced inside of it. Usagi smiled as he saw Raph's hand twitch and was about to celebrate, until Raph punched Leo and sent him flying for a moment. Once he landed on the ground, Leo groaned in pain and sat up whilst rubbing his head. Then he looked up in fear and saw Raph shove off his siblings who tried stopping him or attempting to calm him down. Once the siblings had been pushed far enough, Raph began to scream in pain as he held his eye, a krang infection running its course as it sprouted out of Raph's eye and began to cover Raph's top torso and arm before turn one hand into a tentacle and the other hand was given a set of three claws that sprouted from his knuckles. 

Once Raph had moved his hand from his eye, you could see the infection covering that side and soon making its way to his shell, giving it more spikes. Once the transformation was complete, Krang-Raph looked up and roared like a random creature, it was almost like his savage side was taking control, but you could tell that wasn't the case as one eye was pink and the other was yellow. His family looked in horror as Usagi and Casey furrowed their brows with angered shock upon Raph's new form. Krang-Raph then looked down and began to shift his gaze before settling on April's bag and seeing the key inside. Once his objective was clear, his roared like a Krang and then zoomed to April, Splinter and Casey getting caught in the attack as Krang-Raph used his tentacle like a whip and hitting the three. Mikey ran to Splinter while Donnie ran to April, Ezra sliding down to Casey and helping him up as Venus stared in shock, Usagi standing next to Leo with furrowed brows.

But Usagi gasped as he saw the key had fallen out of April's bag and rested on the floor, until Krang-Raph used his tentacle to lift it up and bring it close to him. Once it was close to him, Prime chuckled as a pair of teeth doors opened and allowed Prime to crawl in, a victorious grin on his face. "Surprise." Prime sang in a taunting tone, Mikey shot his head towards Prime with a raged look, tears brimming his eyes. "What did you do to my brother!?" Mikey demanded. "Improved him." Prime said with a smirk as he stopped a few feet from Raph. Now shaken from his horror, Leo growled under his breath and stood. Grabbing a katana from his back and getting ready to attack, but the ground under his feet began to crack and caused him to jump back. As the ground erupted, the krang train jumped out with the foot soldiers not far behind, Huntress laughing evilly as she rode atop of the krang train. The dog creatures and other infected people ran out from their hiding spot to surround the clan. Everyone quickly armed themselves with their weapons and formed some sort of kill circle as Krang-Raph simply walked to Prime and bowed, offering the device. "Thank you for this. We will be putting it to good use." Prime said as he grabbed the device and smirked at the clan. "Come, the world awaits destruction." Prime spoke to his sister, who turned to Prime and then looking at the clan. A evil grin spread across her features before leaping off the Krang train.

"Tear the apart!" Huntress commanded, the Krang train roaring as it readied an attack. But April was quicker and grabbed her bag, throwing it into the air and hitting it like a ball with her back-up bat, the remaining vials creating a cloud that caused the train to fall to the ground. "We've gotta move." April said, her pupils small in fear as she turned to the others. As Ezra looked around and saw the others ready to leave, Ezra whipped back and saw Krang-Raph walking into the door with Huntress and Prime. For a moment, Ezra was frozen as he heard Leo's pleas to not leave Raph behind. Then a memory shot through Ezra's vision, it was of future Venus, her arms and legs completely wrapped in glowing cyan energy, grunting in pain as she tried to keep a collapsing ceiling from coming down onto a young Ezra. 

"MOMMA! We need to go!" Ezra yelled as he ran up to Venus, who gasped in pain and fell to one knee, Ezra whimpered and looked around and saw more debree was starting to fall on them all. Venus panted and opened one eye, looking at Ezra and then turning her gaze to a exit. If Venus were to let go of the ceiling, it would crush them both. Venus looked back at Ezra who was pleading for Venus to move. Venus heard more booms from outside and sighed, realizing that this was it. "Ezra... I need you to promise me something." Venus said as she turned to Ezra, the fox nodded as his ears flatted under his mother's mask he wore on his head. "I'm not gonna get out of here, you're gonna have to leave without me." Venus said, one eye closed as Ezra's eyes went wide. "No! I'm not gonna leave you behind!" Ezra cried, but Venus sighed. "Ezra, I don't have time to fight with you!" Venus yelled, seeing Ezra flinch but remained where he stood.

She sighed and grunted again as she tried to shift the weight above her. "I'm not gonna make it out of here, but you can. So, I need you to promise me something." Venus said, Ezra looked at Venus as more tears poured down his face. "I need you to protect your uncles while I'm gone." Venus said, Ezra nodded but then leapt for his mother. She could only chuckle lightly and watch as Ezra pulled back. "I don't think I'll be strong enough..." Ezra said, Venus sighed and saw the mask again. "What did I say to do... w-when you don't think you're strong enough?" Venus asked, getting more tired as the weight of the ceiling grew. Ezra shoved the mask on his face and shifted his head up, Venus smiled as tears slipped out and began to pour down. "Remember, anyone who looks at you in fear, will only be afraid of the mask, not of you."

Current Ezra furrowed his brows and bawled his hands. "NO!" He yelled, erupting his bow off his back and pulling back the string. "Ez! What are you doing?!" Casey said, Venus was about to grab the fox, but stopped when an explosion appeared at Ezra's bow, a mystic arrowing appearing at the string and letting Ezra to shot it. Huntress and Prime moved back as the arrow hit the ground between the two. Prime and Huntress narrowed their eyes as Ezra held back the hand the shot the arrow, his eyes narrowing at the two Krang. But Prime and Huntress seemed shocked by Ezra and even Krang-Raph stopped his movements. "E-0? But what are you doing out of your tank?!" Huntress yelled, everyone but Leo and Casey looked at Ezra in shock. "It's Ezra now, you chewed bubblegum looking bitches!" Ezra yelled; Venus narrowed her eyes at Leo. Huntress growled under her breath as Prime scoffed. "You insult us, but your end shall be near, your aim is also very poor." Prime said, shoving Raph and Huntress behind the teeth door. As the door closed, Splinter zoomed in front of his family, grabbing Ezra and then throwing a smokebomb at the ground and allowing themselves to disappear.
