The Purple Game
A giant robot mech fires a rocket fish at a blimp, destroying it. "Battle through the number one ranking to unlock an exclusive item! There can only be one!" The robot fires into the air to show the logo for a video game, The Purple Game. "The Purple Game! Download now!"
"I must have it," Donnie grins widely, downloading it onto the TV in the arcade. "Yes!" He immediately starts playing, food and drinks piling up around him as he plays for hours on end he sweats his eyes are wide.
"Donnie, have you been playing all night?" Raph asks he, his brothers, and sister are standing behind him. Raph is in a Jupiter Jim suit, while Emma, Leo, and Mikey are in the same outfits they wore when they rescued Raph from the mutant mascots in Times Square.
"Yes, this is the greatest game of all time, stop talking to me," Donnie says quickly
"Really?" Leo asks skeptically at the basic graphics and minimal gameplay. "This?"
"Yes, oh yes, rank is rising! Oh, I gotta get to number one, baby!" He stomps on more people, going up two more ranks.
"Well, let's go! Get dressed. If we're late to Fan-Con, we'll miss out on the Jupiter Jim swag," Raph shakes his shoulder, but he doesn't budge, waving his hand.
"Meet you there, I'm earning purple points to unlock sweet upgrades!"
"Donnie, are you okay?" Mikey asks in concern. "Atomic Lass is gonna be there. She's your favorite character from the extended Jupiter Jim universe."
"She and JJ haven't spoken since-"
"We don't speak of that," Mikey covers his ears.
"That's was a nasty fight." Emma cringed with a shiver
Donnie's starts licking the screen
"Okay, I know I say this a lot about Donnie, but demon possession!" Leo points to Donnie
"I'm fine!" Donnie snaps at them, going back to his game. Emma walks up standing in front of him blocking the game much to Donnie's annoyance as he growls "Come on Donnie come with us please?" Emma blinks her cute big eyes giving him a pleading face
Donnie just slightly pushes her out of the way going back to the games leaving Emma dumbfounded "M-My stare didn't work. My stare i-it didn't work, my stare didn't work." Emma repeated the phrase over and over like a broken record
"Oh nice going Don now you broke Emma!" Leo frowns gesturing to their little sister, Raph picks her up rubbing her back carrying her out of the room still speaking in gibberish still looking a bit worried as they leave Donnie to his game.
"I'm still the cute one right?!"
...................................................
He's at rank 752 now as he's cornered by three other players. "Did anyone teach you noobs not to follow strangers into alleys?" Donnie laughs confidently as he makes the three players disappear.
"BootyyyShaker9000, you have qualified for a big upgrade!" An AD pops up. "Spend your purple points now!"
"Oh my, fab..." He tries to get it, but he doesn't have enough purple points. "I have to get more points..."
He goes to a piggy bank and later stands above Mr Noddles with a pair of scissors and a crazed look in his eyes
...................................................
"What a night, baby!" Mikey hollers as the four return back from Fan-Con.
"Once in a lifetime!"
"Donnie, you're never gonna believe what just happened. I know it'll never make up for it, but we got you a Jupiter Jim figure with real chopping action!" Leo holds up a Jupiter Jim action figure.
"It so awesome!" Emma smiles being held by Leo holding a bag filled with chips and other snacks "We got you some snacks if you're hungry."
They're surprised to see Donnie still in front of the TV, but this time, he's wearing a lumberjack outfit.
"So close. Nobody's gonna stop Bootyyyshaker900!" He's at rank 10 now, but before he can progress further, Raph stands in front of him, causing him to scream in panic. "Move, move!" He hisses like a cat
"Dude, you okay? You're dressed up like a lumberjack," Raph raises an eyebrow at his clothing.
"It's a new upgrade I unlocked," Donnie brags, placing his fist to his chin. A confident smile is on his face. "Not many have..."
Leo moves behind him, inspecting his clothes. "How'd you pay for that gear? Donnie, how'd you pay for that gear?!" Leo looks at him in the eye
Mikey gasps sharply at his broken piggy bank, which he's just discovered.
"He destroyed Mrs. Porky-Coin?!" Mikey holds the broken pieces, clenching his fists as he looks up to the sky. "I will avenge heeeeer!"
Emma gets wide eyed as she bolts to her room
"You don't think he." Raph looks at Leo cringing
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!"
"He did."
Emma comes out of her room with a ripped open Noddles and burning pink eyes and sharpened teeth
"I WILL DESTROY YOU!!!!!!!"
Emma rubs up to Donnie, jumping mid air to pounce on him but Leo catches her holding her in place "Let me at him!! Let at him!!" Emma reaches for him as Leo dragged her back into the room with the other brothers
"And he doesn't care he missed a literal once in a lifetime experience!" Leo points out, trying not to cry. "That lady in a wheelchair walked!"
"What do you do if someone you love is obsessed with something that's bad for them?" Raph murmurs
...................................................
Donnie has reached rank 2 when he encounters another player with the same rank
"BootyyyShaker9000? Donnie?" April asks in surprise.
"April?!" Donnie wonders, as they're the last two players left. Her name is Sherlock Corn. "You're the last person to destroy to achieve rank level one!"
"Ditto!"
"Final Rank Battle!" The announcer booms and the fight starts off.
"There can only be one!" They chant,
April uses Kernel Kannon, with her character shooting corn from himself at Donnie's character, bringing at almost half health. He retaliates with Superior Intellect, bringing her health a bit down.
April charges the Power of Togetherness and uses Captain Cuddlecakes Hug, affecting Donnie's health greatly.
"Ah! I must win!" He pulls up his phone, revealing cheat codes. "Must win..." He'll do anything to get to rank one...anything! "Down, right, left, left, up, left, left, right, circle!"
This enables a cheat code that makes April's character glitch out and become a glitch itself. "I can't move! How'd you do that?!"
He just chuckles as his character fires laser eye beams, defeating his friend and winning the battle. "The winner is BootyyyShaker9000! New rank number one!"
April gasps sharply at the game over screen, Mayhem near her. Her mother is cooking in the kitchen. "How did he do that?!" She fumes
"I've done it!" Donnie stands up proudly at his new glory. "I'm number one! Show me what I get!" He presses his face to the screen in glee.
"BootyyyShaker9000, you've unlocked the final exclusive item!"
"Victory is mine!" His eyes shine at the TV.
...................................................
"So, we've read every internet doctor article on how to treat Recreational Game Obsession Mania," Raph says as they're gathered around the living room.
"RE-GOM!" Mikey cheers at the new acronym.
"I just read the comments," Leo brags
"And thanks for being here Dimitri Donnie needs all the support he can get." Raph smiles at the little boy who stands besides his best friend
"No problem Raph anything I can do to help." Dimitri smiles with a nod "I brought the stuff." He whispers to Emma holding out a bag of whoopee cushions, hand buzzers, and a rubber chicken. "We will be avenge your fallen son." Dimitri puts a hand on Emma's shoulder
"My boy he massacred my boy." Emma dramatically speaks like an Italian mob boss looking down with a sad look
Suddenly, there's a noise coming from the surface of New York. A scream is heard and they look towards the tablet to see a giant mech.
"Giant mech! Maybe some action will snap Donnie out of it, you think?" He glances at the others, the others nod
Leo runs into the arcade. "Donnie, there's a giant mech destroying-" He comes to a stop as he sees the chair Donnie's in. "Whoa...nice chair. Wait, where'd you get that?"
...................................................
The delivery man had just shrugged it off when he was delivering, so he threw it into the sewers.
...................................................
"I unlocked it, and now I can explore a whole new world to conquer!"
Raph spins the chair around so Donnie can face them. "Except for hero time. Donnie, we need you."
"I will be right there," He turns back to the game. "You have my word."
...................................................
The four stand heroically on a rooftop...with one member missing. Instead, Shelldon appears in place of Donnie. "Sup, guys! Donnie couldn't make it. I'm New Donnie, obscure science reference set with total confidence."
"DONNIE!" Raph shouts in frustration.
"I dunno, I like New Donnie," Leo comments
"Uh and why am I here?" Dimitri pops up behind Emma
"We need ya to help fight the giant robot don't worry you'll be fine." Emma ruffs his hair with a smile
A creak is heard and they look up nervously to see the robot looming over them. "It's huge! Looks like we've got a new mech villain on the scene!" Mikey comments as it fires a single laser, causing several explosions within the city. The people start to get evacuated as the four with Emma carrying Dimitri on her back run onto a rooftop.
"Attack!" Raph declares and they jump, Raph punching at the eye. "Shelldon, can you get a read on who might be driving that thing?"
He yelps as the robot grabs hold of him. "Nah, and I'm New Donnie," The robot corrects. The mech throws Leo onto the ground near Mikey and Emma
He simply groans in response and Mikey looks up at the dome from the mech. "Come on baby sis Let's see who's inside!" He spins his whip, flinging it towards the robot as Emma flys following him. "Cowabunga!" He gets lifted up into the air, running on the arm and jumping. "Whoa!"
Emma looks back making sure her brother doesn't fall but doesn't pay attention to what's in front of her and slams into the glass of the robot
Mikey's eyes widen as he lands on the glass pulling his sister off the glass "You ok Em?" Emma dizzy nods shaking the headache away, they manages to open it.
"Knock knock, knucklehead!" However, there is no one inside. "What?! Nobody's driving this thing?!"
Back at the lair, Donnie is playing around with his mech character...as five bears are surrounding him, in the same colors as his brothers and sister, while one of them is brown representing Dimitri.
"Get out of here, you little plush dolls!" He grits his teeth in annoyance. "You're ruining Mr. Number One's mech!"
Mikey glances downwards and reads the name listed on the screen. "BootyyyShaker9000?
"Wait isn't that .. Donnie's gamer name?" Emma eyes widened
The dome snaps shut, causing them to fall off and land near the others. "Donnie's...controlling the mech!"
"Say what now?" Raph asks, baffled.
"You're telling me that big ugly thing is Donnie?" Leo rubs his chin. "Oh ho, I've so got this!"
He jumps out of the hiding spot.
"Leo are you crazy?!" Dimitri looks at Leo scared but Leo holds up a hand.
"Trust me, I've got a genius plan. Hey Donnie, it's us! Your siblings and Dimitri!" Leo waves his hands, but the mech simply stares at him.
With Donnie, the blue bear is waving his hands, speaking gibberish. "You know, I know these graphics aren't great, but points for solid writing!" He presses a button and the mech prepares to fire a laser at Leo, who sweats in realization that Donnie can't hear them.
"Okay, that's not good..."
"RUN!!!!" Dimitri screams
Donnie stands up at that, looking like he's gone completely insane... "Ha! Nothing can stop me, no one will take my number one spot!"
The mech fires lasers into the air. "We gotta get a message."
"How?" Mikey sits up with bruises on his face. "He's not responding to anything." He spazzes out, landing on the ground.
"What about our Recreational Game Obsession Mania Training?" Leo grins in realization.
"RE-GOM. That's it!" Raph rubs his chin as he comes up with a plan.
"Yes, we can have an argument about how his game is hurting us!" Mikey points out, Raph pushing him away.
"No, I'm gonna use his obsession against him. It's time for an upgrade," Raph rubs his hands with a sinister smile on his face.
"I think we're bad people," Leo comments at this.
"I think we need to move!!!" Dimitri screams pointing up at the sky the rocket fist coming towards them. They scream and take off into a run, Shelldon flying up to Raph.
"Shelldon!"
"It's New Donnie-"
"Whatever!" A vein grows on Raph's temple in annoyance. "Can you hook my phone up to that thing so I can get Donnie a message?"
"On it!" Shelldon flies up to the mech, dodging lasers along the way. He reaches the face and attaches himself to the cheek.
...................................................
Donnie gasps sharply as he sees an ad for a super-ultra mega-powerful upgrade. "Super exclusive upgrade? Yes!"
When he presses buy, he's met with Raph from his phone. "Donnie! The mech is real! Stop playing the game, Donnie!"
"Wow, feels so lifelike," He comments, it's like Raph is actually speaking to him. "And again, ace writing."
"DONNIE!" Raph's voice snaps him out of it. "Stop. The game is real!"
Donnie just rubs his neck in confusion and Raph finally shows the robot in the background, which is also rubbing his neck.
"Oh, that's not good," He cringed the quit screen pops up, but when he presses yes, nothing happens. "Uh, I can't quit out. What is happening?!"
His question is answered as a Purple Dragon symbol appears on the back of his chair. Cuffs trap his arms and legs.
"This was not covered in the user manual!"
The screen then changes to a familiar face. "Guess again, BootyyyShaker9000! Or should I do Othello Von Ryan? Or should I call you Donnie?"
"Oh," Donnie's chair turns around to Kendra herself. "The Purple Dragons. I should've known! How's house arrest?"
Kendra just snickers at his remark. "Yes, it is us!" She gestures to Jeremy and Jace. "The Purple Dragons! The greatest team hacking duo-"
"Uh, trio," Jace corrects, adjusting his glasses. Kendra smacks him at the back of his head.
"Shut up. Jace, you are on thin ice!"
"I know I said the plan seemed insane, but it totally worked!" Jace cheers
"We wanted our revenge and you played your part perfectly," Kendra gives Donnie a knowing grin. "You almost destroyed your own siblings!" She laughs at Donnie's stupidity
"Yes, but I didn't...mostly...mostly."
Jace and Jeremy laugh at him. "While we would've really enjoyed watching you smash them... watching you watch us smash them will be just as nice!" She cackles and Donnie's eyes widen in horror "In fact why don't we start with your puny little sister!" Kendra smirks evilly
"Emma?!" Donnie struggles trying to get out of the seat with anger "Dont you touch my sweet little baby sister! I swear if you guys hurt her-!"
"Oh we won't be hurting her she'll be thinking it's her big brother!" Kendra laughs as Donnie's eyes grow wide
...................................................
"So...did it work or...?" Leo asks slowly as they're looking at the shut-down robot. Suddenly, it stands up, glaring.
"Uh, no! He's still attacking!" Raph shouts as the eyes glow.
"You think he knows we like New Donnie better?" Mikey fist bumps Shelldon, to which Raph gives him a look.
The robot bends down and suddenly grabs Emma holding her in its giant cold hand
"Emma!" Raph screams
Donnie watches the screaming bears run away from the robot as the pink one is being held in the left hand. He struggles to get out. "Make it stop! How are you controlling it?!"
Jeremy snickers, Kendra staring at him blankly. "The mech is now fully self-operational. Its AI learns from you playing the game. It's the-"
"Jeremy! Wrap it up already!" Kendra interrupts sharply as she pushes him away then the screen shows his brothers and Dimitri running away from the robot as it squeezed Emma in its palm "Donnie stop! You're hurting me!" Emma screams in pain with tears forming in her eyes looking at the robot
"Emma .. of and guys!" He cringes nervously. Trying again to get out, he crashes onto the ground. His eyes widen as he spots a Jupiter Jim figure...with chopping action.
The mech pops up in front of the turtles.
"Uh oh," Raph murmurs as they all cringe. Using its right hand, the robot punches them, but when the smoke clears, they're nowhere to be seen. A portal closes from their spot around to see another portal opening up from above.
"Guess we gotta hit it harder! BootyyyShaker, time to meet FaceKicker!" Raph makes his giant self appear, with Leo and Mikey on his shoulders and Dimitri on top of his head. It kicks at the robot, which is much bigger in comparison. The mech blocks the fist with his left hand,
The robot simply stares at them. The four chuckle nervously before the robot grabs them with the other hand, squeezing the mystic form out of Raph.
"Donnie, you gotta stop this!" Leo calls out, only for them to be squished even tighter. "I love you, but your gaming is hurting me. Like literally hurting me!"
Donnie slides over to the action figure on the floor, grabbing the leg with his mouth. The chopping hand presses a button from his wrist computer, activating the other shells. They make their way over to their creator, setting him free. Donnie flies out of the lair to rescue them
The robot raises its left hand in the air, preparing to smashing them with the hand holding Emma but the left hand glitches, causing them to turn around and see Donnie controlling the robot.
"Cheat code, baby! Let's finish this!" His goggles land on his face as a large laser cannon emerges from his staff. It fires at the robot's face, causing a brightening explosion.
The robot lets go of Emma, she screams fearfully of hitting the ground put Donnie's robot claw catches her and places her safety on Donnie's lap "I got ya peanut."
Emma looks at him for a second and quickly growls angrily "YOU!!!" She grabs him by the front of his chest "I will end you!!" She snarls demonically, Donnie just laughs patting her head not phased by her threat "You're welcome."
"Guys, guys!" Donnie's spider shell arms pat them awake. "Are you okay?"
"Is the fight over?" Dimitri shakes fearfully at the giant fight not wanting to do it again.
"You...hurt...Mrs. Porky-Coin! I will have my..." Mikey recoils back in pain
"I'm just glad you guys are safe, and you don't know how sorry I am," Donnie's spider shell brings the five into a hug with Donnie. "I will never-" He does a double take as he sees an ad for a Purple Game sequel. "Oh, Purple Game 2!" He pushes them out of the way. "I must have it!"
His brothers, Emma and Dimitri give him a blank look
"Mallet?" Emma asked her brothers
"Mallet."
Emma pulls out a mallet walking up behind Donnie and bonks him hard on the head making him fall unconscious
"Emma!" Dimitri yells
"Don't worry he'll walk up in a few hours."
