It had all started like every normal day for the four turtles.
There had been a new evil plan from Shredder and Krang to take over the city, and after April found out about it she got kidnapped, and now our four heroes was entering the Technodrome to save her and stop the villain's plan.
This particular time the plan involved a big machine that none of the four of them really understood the purpose of, but it was something used by the bad guys, and that was good enough reasons to stop it!
Raphael saw that it had what looked like a big gas tank, and thought that taking care of that would make the device useless. So he tossed himself towards the tank, and made two big holes with his sharp Sai's.
He knew that something dangerous might happen if he did that, but he was still taken off guard when a could of pink smoke came out of the hole, and he breathed in some of it!
His brothers where quick to assist him when they saw Ralph collapse from the smoke, and shortly after the machine started to work into high gear, and they knew it wouldn't take long for it to explode!
The turtles and April all got out from the Technodrome when they heard an explosion coming from inside, and the voice of Shredder shouting "Blasted Turtles!" shortly after.
As they saw the Technodrome retreat and drive deeper down into the tunnels, the turtles decided to take this as a victory and take their injured brother back home.
Since they didn't know what the strange gas had done to Raphael the other turtles decided to put him into bed and hope that he would recover quickly. And after a few days it seemed like he had done just that.
As soon as he had the strength to get out of bed he was immediately starting to work out, and wanting nothing more then to be as fit as he used to be.
But as soon as he throw his first high kick he felt something strange. Something that was hanging off his midsection and pulling him down slightly.
Looking down he got his life's shock by seeing that his previous six pack abs now had an inch of fat on them!
It wasn't much, but it was there, and he wasn't going to let it stay on for long.
In a (more then usual) hardcore workout routine Raphael was sweating like a pig, making every muscle in his body sore, and generally being on a "mission" to make his small amount of fat disappear. But it was all to no avail as the tiny bit of belly jiggling still was there.
"Damn!" Ralph shouted to himself in anger, while another turtle (This one wearing a purple bandana) whispered "Fascinating." to himself.
After a few more hours of training with no result Ralph felt like it was some kind of bad joke that just wouldn't end.
As he was almost ready to toss something at the wall in anger Donatello asked him and the other two of the turtles to gather around in his working station.
As they waited for Donatello to get all of his facts gathered Michelangelo couldn't help but staring at his tuff brother's new found flab.
"What are you looking at?!" Ralph shouted at him angrily, and Mike decided to avoid mentioning the obvious subject of mockery. (For now.)
"I have some important news to tell you about Ralph's condition." He said, and in no time got the attention from all three of his brothers.
"It seems that the sub particles in the unidentified toxic cloud is accelerating the process of storing extra calories and water cells in Ralph's anatomy." Donatello explained.
"Could you use some words that actually, exist?" Mike asked, and Donatello rolled his eyes over Mike's predictable answer. (But he could see that his two other brothers also had trouble understanding him, so he decided to go on with it.)
"Basically, the molecules that was in the gas is making Ralph's body starting to store up more mass then normally after consuming food and/or when taking a rest. Or to make it even more clear, it's making Ralph a huge fatty."
While Ralph and Leo got slightly shocked over the news, Mike was only thinking about a certain word.
"Hah! Don just said you where a "fatty" Ralph." He said mockingly, and Ralph was almost ready to cut that goofy smile on his brother off with one of his Sai's when Leo stepped in-between.
"Enough you two!" Leonardo said before turning over to Don. "Do you have any idea if we can make this stop affecting Ralph?" He asked, and Donatello quickly looked through the notes he had been making so far.
"I think I can be able to make it happen, but it will take about a week at least until I have an antidote." Don answers.
"So how much will I have gained until then?" Ralph asks, and after doing some quick presses on his calculator Don answers "About 80 pounds.", so naturally that it was almost like he was telling how much a stuffed turkey would cost.
"80 pounds! Are you telling me that I will just sit here and let this happen until you have a cure?!" Ralph asked.
"Yes...as long as you don't eat anything, then you might gain even more." Don mentioned, making Ralph even more freaked out.
"Can't I just train even harder to keep it away?!" He asked, sounding not as quiet and calm as he usually do.
"You can if you want, but from what I saw earlier your hard training didn't seem to make any difference at all. You can still try keeping your muscles strong, but that's it." Don said.
"I-Is there any way to find the cure in less then a week?" Ralph asked, now starting to sound nervous for real. And Donatello replied, "It will definitive take more then a week if I don't get to start working on it soon."
And with that the three other turtles decided to let Don work in peace.
"This is going to be so much fun. You have always been on my shell, telling me that I "Need to start working more and not eat so much junk food.", and now you are the one that will be sitting lazy on the couch for a good long week." Mike said, making Ralph his usual grumpy self again.
"I am NOT going to just sit on a couch and be lazy! I will still work my shell off as much as I can, and be able to lose this extra weight in no time when Don has a cure!" He said. To which Mike pocked his brother's belly flab and said, "Let's see if you still think the same when this thing is a bit bigger." before running of to crash at the TV couch himself.
The following week became a pretty interesting one for Raphael.
For the first couple of days the tubby turtle tried to be "All Workout and No Food" in order to keep his weight gaining to a minimum.
But as the hunger grow stronger on him Ralph found himself take "small" snacks at times between workouts. (He thought that once Don had the cure to him he would make those snack go away in no time.) It was just a few snack bars after all, how hard would it be to lose that?
Those little snack bars later turned into singular slices of pizzas, that then became half pizzas, and then a whole pizza, and then finally a pizza and a burger next to it.
Finally the day had come when Donatello had found the cure to Raphael's condition, and as he made his way from his workshop to his bother he was having some thoughts to himself.
"Congratulations Donatello! You have done it again. It was a pretty tricky one this time, but I know someone which your intelligence would manage to do it.
Thanks. In reality it wasn't that hard once you manage to crack the code, but I'm still very flattered over the compliment."
"But now it's time to take this thing to Ralph, and even thought he probably will have a bit of a pot belly hanging off him I know that with his grumpy determination it wont be that bad looking, and it wont take long until he will be back to his usual self again.........?!"
Don's thoughts had come to a abrupt halt from what he saw when he entered the TV room. On the couch sat Mike eating from a bag of chips (Nothing unusual so far.), but next to him sat Ralph, and he was a completely different story!
Don had said that if Ralph controlled himself all week he should have had a weight gain on "only" 80 pounds, but he looked to have gained almost twice that amount!
One great way to see how fat Ralph now was, was in how he had somehow managed to outgrow the "cloths" that he (and the other turtles) usually wear.
The Red Bandana on his head looked at first like it had been shrunk down in the washing, but the reality was that his head had become so fat that the bandana was creating small rolls above and under where it was bound. (He also was now sporting some extra chins and puffed up checks.)
The straps on his wrists, elbows, and knees also did look to sit on him like they where part of a machine to look at your blood pressure.
But nothing was able to compare to his belly, that was now a big gut that was sticking out 2 feet, and was at least 3 feet wide! It was also the belt around his belly that was the material of clothing that was sitting most tightly on him, and looked to almost be ready to pop off!
"Raphael! Do you really feel well looking like this?!" Donatello said, both shocked and disappointed over how his brother now looked like.
"Urgh...not really." Ralph said while rubbing his tight filled gut.
All of a sudden the "R" buckle on Ralph's belt snapped off with the force of a bullet, and his belly shoot out another half feet.
"Ahhh!!! Now I feel good." Ralph said as he leaned back and took another pizza slice.
Not wanting to waste his time lecturing him Don simply walked over and said. "I just came to tell you that I have finally found a cure to your gaining problem." and handed over to him a vial tube, containing some green coloured liquid.
"Awesome!" Raphael said as he grabbed it, and drank it down.
"Now you wont slowly gaining all the time, and all the calories you put in wont double or anything." Don explained.
"That's great news. I was actually starting to get afraid I would end up immobile before you find the cure." Raphael said and sank back into a comfy position in the couch.
"So I take it as you now will start training again to get back in shape?" Don asked, almost in a very demanding tone. Ralph answered quickly with a "Uh, sure, of course.", and Donatello seemed to believe it as he decided to let Ralph and Mike be.
Once he left Raphael went back to relaxing in front of the TV, but Michelangelo seemed to have picked up the way Ralph had acted in front of Donatello.
"You like being fat. Don't you?" Mike asked with a smirk.
"What? No!" Ralph said in a fake attempt to sound shocked over what his brother was saying, but Mike could see past Ralph's bad acting.
"You can fool Donatello (Which is weird given how smart he is.), but I can see that you enjoy it fully." Mike said, and then pressed his entire fist into the fatty mass that was Ralph's belly. "Wow! I remember when I only could press one of my three finger in here!" He said surprised.
"Hey, cut that off!" Ralph said, and Mike pulled his hand out of it. "Y-You wont tell Leo or Don about...this?" Ralph asked while grabbing and shaking his big belly for a short time, for the first time not sounding as dominant in his voice as he otherwise did.
"Of course not Ralph. I would never gossip about a brother's secret." Mike said before getting up from the couch, and leaving Ralph by himself.
As Ralph was sitting by himself he looked down his busted belt that laid on the floor, then at the slice of Pizza in his hand, and then at the TV (that was still on). "After I have finished this slice I WILL start losing my extra weight!" Ralph thought to himself, as he then swallow the pizza slice whole.
But that promise held as much water as last time he said it, and after having his pizza Ralph never got up from the couch.
It wasn't until a few days later when he saw brothers with weapons entering the sewers that remembered him of what they usually do.
"Hey guys. Are we about to go up there and kick some foot?" He asked, but that's when Don said "Actually, we just came back from taking care of some of them."
"You went up to the surface without me?! Why?" Raphael asked upset, and Leo decided to step up and explain.
"We all thought that you weren't in the best shape to fight, and we didn't want to risk you getting hurt." He said, and Mike couldn't help but adding in a "Plus he probably would get stuck in the sewer entrance." for fun.
Leo gave Mike a look to silence him, but Raphael told them that he "understood what they where trying to tell him", and that "he wouldn't be in the way anymore." before he walked off. When Don then asked the other two if they should do something, Leo answered that "Ralph simply must find his own path."
Raphael was once again found himself getting comfortable in the couch and eating up a whole pizza by himself (But more out of sadness then hunger this time.), and that's when he felt someone sitting down next to him. He was probably expecting Mike or Leo, but got really surprised seeing none other then Splinter by his side!
"Master Splinter?!" Ralph said shocked, feeling a bit ashamed of having his Kung Fu master see him like this. (Even thought he knew himself that the rat had probably also followed him on his weight gain progress.)
"Yes my son? Is there something that is bothering you?" Splinter asked calmly, almost like he didn't know about the turtle's very enlarged body.
"It's just that...ever since this week when I gained all this weight I have started to really like this version of myself, but I don't know if I can continue be an access to my brothers." Ralph said, resting his hands on his distant belly and staring at it, wondering what to do with it.
"Do you like being like this?" Master Splinter asked.
"To be honest, yes. I do. I just wish there was a way to help fighting crimes with them without me risking to stretch an ankle." Ralph said, laughing a little bit over the funny image of him trying to perform a high kick in his current state.
Master Splinter also found that funny. and they both had a nice short moment of them just laughing together.
After they where done laughing Splinter picked up the TV-remote and said "You know, my son. I think I might have a solution to your problem."
This got Raphael really interested, and he gave his master his full attention. "And what is that?" He asked very eager.
"This." Splinter said and switched to another TV-Channel.
Given that Donatello had connected their TV cables to many underground Channel-Boxes the turtles could get in pretty much any types of channels to watch, and that included channels from Japan.
Getting into channel 1991 Splinter showed Raphael a sumo fighting tournament. Ralph had seen sumo a couple of times before without thinking more about it, but since his sensei wanted him to watch this he decided to try looking at it with different eyes.
Before this Ralph had only seen Sumo as a "weird sport for fatties", but now he saw just the real strength and mobility that was required to be a great sumo fighter. The powerful arms to grab your opponant, the strong legs to keep oneself steady on the ground, and of course the incredibly huge belly to make it straight on impossible for the other fighter to manage to grab around you.
"Do you see what I mean?" Splinter asked, and Ralph answered "Yes. It is all so clear.", like he had just been learned the answer to all life's questions.
"I can become a super awesome Sumo fighter!" He said, and was just about to get up from the couch when Splinter stopped him.
"Yes you can become that, but you are not ready to fight crimes like that yet. You need to build up some muscles first, and..." He said before poking into Ralph's belly (in a similar way as Michelangelo had done before.) "You actually need to pack on some more pounds to really get that "Sumo Weight" behind it."
"So you are saying that I should actually try to eat more then I do?!" Ralph asked, sounding almost like a little kid being told that he can have as much candy to eat as he wants.
And Splinter being the kind hearted father as he was saw his son's happiness and said "Yes. You should eat much, much more." before giving Ralph's belly a nice tap with his rat paw.
"Should we tell the others about this?" Ralph asked, and Splinter got a small smirk on his face as he said. "No. Let's make this our little secret, and then let us surprise them with how you can take them all in a fight, even looking like this."
And with that a new routine had started of Raphael eating even more during his ordinary meals, and while his three brothers would be out fighting crimes he would stay with Splinter to do some sumo training.
His brothers would continue to find Ralph being nothing but a lazy slob, and when they couldn't convince their master to agree with them they often let it be. (Ralph had to admit that it was pretty funny seeing his brothers dumbfounded faces when Splinter told them that what Ralph did was fully acceptable for crime fighting.)
Having full permission from his sensei to eat as he pleased (and more) the red coloured dressed one of the turtles took and went over his limits! (Sometimes even managing to take in more breakfast, more lunch, and more dinner one day then what he had used to consume in one whole week when he was still a "ninja".) And all that eating was showing in his weight as the turtle clearly now a belly that was standing out at least 3 feet, and he was as wide as two of his brothers standing side by side! (4 feet) His face was like one big, jiggling chin that almost looked like a part of his puffed out chest. His arms and legs where also slightly more fat inflated, and even his shell seemed to have grown a few sizes, as to adapt to it's new host.
Ralph was now easily over the 400 pounds mark, and Splinter said that he had something special to give him.
Since Raphael had been feeling to big for his ordinary outfit Master Splinter had taken the time to sew a new one for him. First was the familiar stuff like the red head bandana, and the red wrist bands. (Both enlarged and in longer length to his new body type.) But then came the good stuff. Holding up to the sumo turtle was the one type of cloth piece that REALLY necessary for him to fully get into his new role.
"A Mawashi." Ralph said in a pretty speechless tone.
It looked so great and powerful as Master Splinter was holding it up. It had a nice red and white checkers pattern on the front, with a big R in the middle of it.
Ralph's first thought that he wasn't worthy to wear it. But after being given permission from his sensei Ralph quickly put it on, and just LOVED how it felt and how he looked like! Wearing this made him look both like a force to be recon with, and also very handsome for anyone that would find Ralph's fatness as something attractive.
"You are now fully ready to take on your new role as Sumo Ralph!" Master Splinter said, and just when Raphael was about to go tell his brothers the great news the sound of something robotic was heard!
Looking at the entrance both Raphael and Splinter saw a single mouser robot coming, in with a message in it's mouth. When it was right in front of the two of them it dropped the note it was holding, and then started running back from where it came.
Picking up the note and reading it Ralph read that his brothers had been captured, and was now hold as a hostage inside the technodrome.
Filled with rage Raphael crumbled the paper in his hands before running off after the small mouser. He was not coming back until he had his brothers with him!
Inside the technodrome Leonardo, Donatello, and Michelangelo all sat bound together and was thinking about how they could end up like this.
(When the three other turtles had entered the Technodrome, Shedder had let loose an army foot ninjas to capture them, and the turtles was on the way to make a "square" formation to fight them off when they remember that they didn't have Ralph with them to be the fourth wall!)
("We can just make a triangle shape instead." Leonardo had said, and Mike had warned them saying "But I'm so used to working on one side! I don't think I can work so well with angles!")
(Still they decided to make the triangle formation, and Mike had the right to be worried, as he was the turtle that messed it up. By staring to much at on side that gave the foot ninjas the chance to make a break into their formation and take them down.)
"Sorry I failed you guys." Mike said with great guilt, but Leo was quick to comfort him.
"It's okay Mike. There was so many of them, and we where missing one turtle." He said.
At that moment suddenly something large burst through the wall, and it's large shape was being partly hidden by the light from the outside shining in from behind it.
"What is that? Another Ninja Turtle?" Shedder asked, to which the shadowy figure answered "No! I am a SUMO Turtle!"
When hearing the voice all the three bound up Ninja turtles said "Ralph?!" in union.
"So, the fourth one has decided to let himself go a lot?" Shredder asked mockingly before ordering his foot ninjas to attack Ralph!
This was the moment Raphael and Splinter had been training himself for. It was now time to show his doubtful brothers that his fatness could be used as he greatest strength!
Just when the ninjas was about to attack Ralph pulled out his Sai's and tossed them towards his enemies. They all dodged out of the way and thought first that he had missed them (When in reality he had tossed his weapons towards his bound up brothers, so that they could have something to cut up their ropes.), but that was when he charged at them with his REAL attack. His belly!
Ralph delivered both kicks and punches with his very enlarged limbs (Showing that they where packed with both a lot of fat and muscles.), but it was midsection that was his greatest strength.
With all their training it was really something else then your typical "lazy couch gut", and it could now...
• Take and absorb a punch or kick like it was nothing.
• Send his opponents flying when smacking them with it.
• And take care of up to 6 foot ninjas at the same time if he could pull off a really impressive belly flop move.
All while this was going on the three other turtles tried to grabbed the Sai's to get out of their mess, but it was just out of reach. They developed a plan to all stand up and walk together over to the weapons to cut loose. But that plan quickly failed as each turtle at some point tried to get ahead of the others, and that resulted in them just falling over again.
By now Ralph had taken care of all the foot ninjas, and only had the Shredder left. "Fools! I just have to take care of this overstuffed toad myself!" Shredder said and came charging with his sharp blades on the wrist part of his suit.
Raphael had been expecting this, and made himself ready for it. This would be his stomach's greatest challenge.
With full force Shredder pushed his blades deep into the belly fat of Ralph, and the sumo turtle tried to concentrate deeply as the deadly weapon dug deeper and deeper into him. It wasn't until he was up to his elbow into his opponent when the Shredder stopped moving. But it was not because he felt the turtle was finished, it was because he couldn't push his claws in any deeper! Looking up the Shredder saw a smirk smile on Ralph's face before he pulled his belly in some, (Dragging his opponent even more into his fat.) and then shoot it out with such force that it sent Shredder flying across the room and right into some sensitive control panels.
At that moment Leo, Don and Mike had finally managed to break free, only to see that Ralph had single handy taken care of everyone, and that the whole place sounded like it was about to self-destruct or something!
"Let's get out of here!" Raphael said, and they all four made their run for it.
As he woke up from the hit he had been handled Shedder saw the red flashing lights, heard the sound of the emergency sirens, and said "Urgh, not again." to himself.
As they all got out the technodrome once again could be seen rolling off deeper into the caverns before a small explosion could be heard. (Small compared to the size of the machine itself.)
"So guys, do you think that was the end of the Shredder?" Mike asked, to which Donatello answered "Not likely. Given the scale and level of high tech this thing has, I'm sure we will be seeing it and Shredder again very soon."
As they where walking back home Leo said "Hey Ralph." before he handed over Ralph's Sai's, that he had tossed away during the fight. "Thanks." Ralph answered, before putting them on the sides of his Mawashi.
"Ralph," Leo said, making Ralph look at him. "we might have distrusted you before about you ability to still fight."
"And we might have seen your overly large mass of body fat as a disadvantage for combat." Donatello added.
"And think that you had become a big fatty." Mike said, making Leo and Don glare at him for a second. "What? That's pretty much what you guys just said."
"What we are all trying to say is that we thought you had just been giving up and become lazy, when in reality you had been training much more harder then any of us had done before." Leonardo said and put one of his arms on Ralph's thick shoulders, which was pretty quickly followed by Donatello and Michelangelo doing the same thing.
"Thanks guys. It really means a lot to hear you all seeing me as a value tem member again." Ralph said, before he stomach started to growl loudly! "How about we all have a celebration feast? Ten pizzas for me, and then maybe something for you guys as well." Ralph said as they all had a good laugh all the way home.

"I think I can be able to make it happen, but it will take about a week at least until I have an antidote." Don answers.
"So how much will I have gained until then?" Ralph asks, and after doing some quick presses on his calculator Don answers "About 80 pounds.", so naturally that it was almost like he was telling how much a stuffed turkey would cost.
"80 pounds! Are you telling me that I will just sit here and let this happen until you have a cure?!" Ralph asked.
"Yes...as long as you don't eat anything, then you might gain even more." Don mentioned, making Ralph even more freaked out.
"Can't I just train even harder to keep it away?!" He asked, sounding not as quiet and calm as he usually do.
"You can if you want, but from what I saw earlier your hard training didn't seem to make any difference at all. You can still try keeping your muscles strong, but that's it." Don said.

And with that the three other turtles decided to let Don work in peace.
"This is going to be so much fun. You have always been on my shell, telling me that I "Need to start working more and not eat so much junk food.", and now you are the one that will be sitting lazy on the couch for a good long week." Mike said, making Ralph his usual grumpy self again.
"I am NOT going to just sit on a couch and be lazy! I will still work my shell off as much as I can, and be able to lose this extra weight in no time when Don has a cure!" He said. To which Mike pocked his brother's belly flab and said, "Let's see if you still think the same when this thing is a bit bigger." before running of to crash at the TV couch himself.

"But now it's time to take this thing to Ralph, and even thought he probably will have a bit of a pot belly hanging off him I know that with his grumpy determination it wont be that bad looking, and it wont take long until he will be back to his usual self again.........?!"

But nothing was able to compare to his belly, that was now a big gut that was sticking out 2 feet, and was at least 3 feet wide! It was also the belt around his belly that was the material of clothing that was sitting most tightly on him, and looked to almost be ready to pop off!
"Raphael! Do you really feel well looking like this?!" Donatello said, both shocked and disappointed over how his brother now looked like.
"Urgh...not really." Ralph said while rubbing his tight filled gut.
All of a sudden the "R" buckle on Ralph's belt snapped off with the force of a bullet, and his belly shoot out another half feet.
"Ahhh!!! Now I feel good." Ralph said as he leaned back and took another pizza slice.
Not wanting to waste his time lecturing him Don simply walked over and said. "I just came to tell you that I have finally found a cure to your gaining problem." and handed over to him a vial tube, containing some green coloured liquid.
"Awesome!" Raphael said as he grabbed it, and drank it down.
"Now you wont slowly gaining all the time, and all the calories you put in wont double or anything." Don explained.
"That's great news. I was actually starting to get afraid I would end up immobile before you find the cure." Raphael said and sank back into a comfy position in the couch.
"So I take it as you now will start training again to get back in shape?" Don asked, almost in a very demanding tone. Ralph answered quickly with a "Uh, sure, of course.", and Donatello seemed to believe it as he decided to let Ralph and Mike be.
Once he left Raphael went back to relaxing in front of the TV, but Michelangelo seemed to have picked up the way Ralph had acted in front of Donatello.
"You like being fat. Don't you?" Mike asked with a smirk.
"What? No!" Ralph said in a fake attempt to sound shocked over what his brother was saying, but Mike could see past Ralph's bad acting.
"You can fool Donatello (Which is weird given how smart he is.), but I can see that you enjoy it fully." Mike said, and then pressed his entire fist into the fatty mass that was Ralph's belly. "Wow! I remember when I only could press one of my three finger in here!" He said surprised.
"Hey, cut that off!" Ralph said, and Mike pulled his hand out of it. "Y-You wont tell Leo or Don about...this?" Ralph asked while grabbing and shaking his big belly for a short time, for the first time not sounding as dominant in his voice as he otherwise did.
"Of course not Ralph. I would never gossip about a brother's secret." Mike said before getting up from the couch, and leaving Ralph by himself.
As Ralph was sitting by himself he looked down his busted belt that laid on the floor, then at the slice of Pizza in his hand, and then at the TV (that was still on). "After I have finished this slice I WILL start losing my extra weight!" Ralph thought to himself, as he then swallow the pizza slice whole.
But that promise held as much water as last time he said it, and after having his pizza Ralph never got up from the couch.
It wasn't until a few days later when he saw brothers with weapons entering the sewers that remembered him of what they usually do.
"Hey guys. Are we about to go up there and kick some foot?" He asked, but that's when Don said "Actually, we just came back from taking care of some of them."
"You went up to the surface without me?! Why?" Raphael asked upset, and Leo decided to step up and explain.
"We all thought that you weren't in the best shape to fight, and we didn't want to risk you getting hurt." He said, and Mike couldn't help but adding in a "Plus he probably would get stuck in the sewer entrance." for fun.
Leo gave Mike a look to silence him, but Raphael told them that he "understood what they where trying to tell him", and that "he wouldn't be in the way anymore." before he walked off. When Don then asked the other two if they should do something, Leo answered that "Ralph simply must find his own path."
Raphael was once again found himself getting comfortable in the couch and eating up a whole pizza by himself (But more out of sadness then hunger this time.), and that's when he felt someone sitting down next to him. He was probably expecting Mike or Leo, but got really surprised seeing none other then Splinter by his side!
"Master Splinter?!" Ralph said shocked, feeling a bit ashamed of having his Kung Fu master see him like this. (Even thought he knew himself that the rat had probably also followed him on his weight gain progress.)
"Yes my son? Is there something that is bothering you?" Splinter asked calmly, almost like he didn't know about the turtle's very enlarged body.
"It's just that...ever since this week when I gained all this weight I have started to really like this version of myself, but I don't know if I can continue be an access to my brothers." Ralph said, resting his hands on his distant belly and staring at it, wondering what to do with it.
"Do you like being like this?" Master Splinter asked.
"To be honest, yes. I do. I just wish there was a way to help fighting crimes with them without me risking to stretch an ankle." Ralph said, laughing a little bit over the funny image of him trying to perform a high kick in his current state.
Master Splinter also found that funny. and they both had a nice short moment of them just laughing together.
After they where done laughing Splinter picked up the TV-remote and said "You know, my son. I think I might have a solution to your problem."
This got Raphael really interested, and he gave his master his full attention. "And what is that?" He asked very eager.
"This." Splinter said and switched to another TV-Channel.
Given that Donatello had connected their TV cables to many underground Channel-Boxes the turtles could get in pretty much any types of channels to watch, and that included channels from Japan.
Getting into channel 1991 Splinter showed Raphael a sumo fighting tournament. Ralph had seen sumo a couple of times before without thinking more about it, but since his sensei wanted him to watch this he decided to try looking at it with different eyes.
Before this Ralph had only seen Sumo as a "weird sport for fatties", but now he saw just the real strength and mobility that was required to be a great sumo fighter. The powerful arms to grab your opponant, the strong legs to keep oneself steady on the ground, and of course the incredibly huge belly to make it straight on impossible for the other fighter to manage to grab around you.
"Do you see what I mean?" Splinter asked, and Ralph answered "Yes. It is all so clear.", like he had just been learned the answer to all life's questions.
"I can become a super awesome Sumo fighter!" He said, and was just about to get up from the couch when Splinter stopped him.
"Yes you can become that, but you are not ready to fight crimes like that yet. You need to build up some muscles first, and..." He said before poking into Ralph's belly (in a similar way as Michelangelo had done before.) "You actually need to pack on some more pounds to really get that "Sumo Weight" behind it."
"So you are saying that I should actually try to eat more then I do?!" Ralph asked, sounding almost like a little kid being told that he can have as much candy to eat as he wants.
And Splinter being the kind hearted father as he was saw his son's happiness and said "Yes. You should eat much, much more." before giving Ralph's belly a nice tap with his rat paw.
"Should we tell the others about this?" Ralph asked, and Splinter got a small smirk on his face as he said. "No. Let's make this our little secret, and then let us surprise them with how you can take them all in a fight, even looking like this."
And with that a new routine had started of Raphael eating even more during his ordinary meals, and while his three brothers would be out fighting crimes he would stay with Splinter to do some sumo training.
His brothers would continue to find Ralph being nothing but a lazy slob, and when they couldn't convince their master to agree with them they often let it be. (Ralph had to admit that it was pretty funny seeing his brothers dumbfounded faces when Splinter told them that what Ralph did was fully acceptable for crime fighting.)
Having full permission from his sensei to eat as he pleased (and more) the red coloured dressed one of the turtles took and went over his limits! (Sometimes even managing to take in more breakfast, more lunch, and more dinner one day then what he had used to consume in one whole week when he was still a "ninja".) And all that eating was showing in his weight as the turtle clearly now a belly that was standing out at least 3 feet, and he was as wide as two of his brothers standing side by side! (4 feet) His face was like one big, jiggling chin that almost looked like a part of his puffed out chest. His arms and legs where also slightly more fat inflated, and even his shell seemed to have grown a few sizes, as to adapt to it's new host.
Ralph was now easily over the 400 pounds mark, and Splinter said that he had something special to give him.
Since Raphael had been feeling to big for his ordinary outfit Master Splinter had taken the time to sew a new one for him. First was the familiar stuff like the red head bandana, and the red wrist bands. (Both enlarged and in longer length to his new body type.) But then came the good stuff. Holding up to the sumo turtle was the one type of cloth piece that REALLY necessary for him to fully get into his new role.
"A Mawashi." Ralph said in a pretty speechless tone.
It looked so great and powerful as Master Splinter was holding it up. It had a nice red and white checkers pattern on the front, with a big R in the middle of it.
Ralph's first thought that he wasn't worthy to wear it. But after being given permission from his sensei Ralph quickly put it on, and just LOVED how it felt and how he looked like! Wearing this made him look both like a force to be recon with, and also very handsome for anyone that would find Ralph's fatness as something attractive.
"You are now fully ready to take on your new role as Sumo Ralph!" Master Splinter said, and just when Raphael was about to go tell his brothers the great news the sound of something robotic was heard!
Looking at the entrance both Raphael and Splinter saw a single mouser robot coming, in with a message in it's mouth. When it was right in front of the two of them it dropped the note it was holding, and then started running back from where it came.
Picking up the note and reading it Ralph read that his brothers had been captured, and was now hold as a hostage inside the technodrome.
Filled with rage Raphael crumbled the paper in his hands before running off after the small mouser. He was not coming back until he had his brothers with him!
Inside the technodrome Leonardo, Donatello, and Michelangelo all sat bound together and was thinking about how they could end up like this.
(When the three other turtles had entered the Technodrome, Shedder had let loose an army foot ninjas to capture them, and the turtles was on the way to make a "square" formation to fight them off when they remember that they didn't have Ralph with them to be the fourth wall!)
("We can just make a triangle shape instead." Leonardo had said, and Mike had warned them saying "But I'm so used to working on one side! I don't think I can work so well with angles!")
(Still they decided to make the triangle formation, and Mike had the right to be worried, as he was the turtle that messed it up. By staring to much at on side that gave the foot ninjas the chance to make a break into their formation and take them down.)
"Sorry I failed you guys." Mike said with great guilt, but Leo was quick to comfort him.
"It's okay Mike. There was so many of them, and we where missing one turtle." He said.
At that moment suddenly something large burst through the wall, and it's large shape was being partly hidden by the light from the outside shining in from behind it.
"What is that? Another Ninja Turtle?" Shedder asked, to which the shadowy figure answered "No! I am a SUMO Turtle!"
When hearing the voice all the three bound up Ninja turtles said "Ralph?!" in union.
"So, the fourth one has decided to let himself go a lot?" Shredder asked mockingly before ordering his foot ninjas to attack Ralph!
This was the moment Raphael and Splinter had been training himself for. It was now time to show his doubtful brothers that his fatness could be used as he greatest strength!
Just when the ninjas was about to attack Ralph pulled out his Sai's and tossed them towards his enemies. They all dodged out of the way and thought first that he had missed them (When in reality he had tossed his weapons towards his bound up brothers, so that they could have something to cut up their ropes.), but that was when he charged at them with his REAL attack. His belly!
Ralph delivered both kicks and punches with his very enlarged limbs (Showing that they where packed with both a lot of fat and muscles.), but it was midsection that was his greatest strength.
With all their training it was really something else then your typical "lazy couch gut", and it could now...
• Take and absorb a punch or kick like it was nothing.
• Send his opponents flying when smacking them with it.
• And take care of up to 6 foot ninjas at the same time if he could pull off a really impressive belly flop move.
All while this was going on the three other turtles tried to grabbed the Sai's to get out of their mess, but it was just out of reach. They developed a plan to all stand up and walk together over to the weapons to cut loose. But that plan quickly failed as each turtle at some point tried to get ahead of the others, and that resulted in them just falling over again.
By now Ralph had taken care of all the foot ninjas, and only had the Shredder left. "Fools! I just have to take care of this overstuffed toad myself!" Shredder said and came charging with his sharp blades on the wrist part of his suit.
Raphael had been expecting this, and made himself ready for it. This would be his stomach's greatest challenge.
With full force Shredder pushed his blades deep into the belly fat of Ralph, and the sumo turtle tried to concentrate deeply as the deadly weapon dug deeper and deeper into him. It wasn't until he was up to his elbow into his opponent when the Shredder stopped moving. But it was not because he felt the turtle was finished, it was because he couldn't push his claws in any deeper! Looking up the Shredder saw a smirk smile on Ralph's face before he pulled his belly in some, (Dragging his opponent even more into his fat.) and then shoot it out with such force that it sent Shredder flying across the room and right into some sensitive control panels.
At that moment Leo, Don and Mike had finally managed to break free, only to see that Ralph had single handy taken care of everyone, and that the whole place sounded like it was about to self-destruct or something!
"Let's get out of here!" Raphael said, and they all four made their run for it.
As he woke up from the hit he had been handled Shedder saw the red flashing lights, heard the sound of the emergency sirens, and said "Urgh, not again." to himself.
As they all got out the technodrome once again could be seen rolling off deeper into the caverns before a small explosion could be heard. (Small compared to the size of the machine itself.)
"So guys, do you think that was the end of the Shredder?" Mike asked, to which Donatello answered "Not likely. Given the scale and level of high tech this thing has, I'm sure we will be seeing it and Shredder again very soon."
As they where walking back home Leo said "Hey Ralph." before he handed over Ralph's Sai's, that he had tossed away during the fight. "Thanks." Ralph answered, before putting them on the sides of his Mawashi.
"Ralph," Leo said, making Ralph look at him. "we might have distrusted you before about you ability to still fight."
"And we might have seen your overly large mass of body fat as a disadvantage for combat." Donatello added.
"And think that you had become a big fatty." Mike said, making Leo and Don glare at him for a second. "What? That's pretty much what you guys just said."
"What we are all trying to say is that we thought you had just been giving up and become lazy, when in reality you had been training much more harder then any of us had done before." Leonardo said and put one of his arms on Ralph's thick shoulders, which was pretty quickly followed by Donatello and Michelangelo doing the same thing.
"Thanks guys. It really means a lot to hear you all seeing me as a value tem member again." Ralph said, before he stomach started to growl loudly! "How about we all have a celebration feast? Ten pizzas for me, and then maybe something for you guys as well." Ralph said as they all had a good laugh all the way home.
