Previously...

Leonardo frowned as the burly boar and rhinoceros stepped closer. he could hear the crack of Rocksteady's knuckles, and heard the gentle hum of Bebop's plasma pistol. He reached back and drew his katanas. "We may be a little out of shape, but we can -still- kick your butts up and down the warehouse."

Michelangelo grinned, stomping his feet into a wider stance that made his soft plastron wobble. "Yeah, dudes, don't you know that the bigger they are, the... uh.. more awesome they get! I can't wait to knock you guys flat with my super mutant sumo skills!"

Bebop and Rocksteady laughed. "What're youse guys gonna do? Sit on us?" "Oh no, I think they're gonna try crackin' the pavement and hope the ground swallows us! Ha!"

But before Leo or Mikey could leap into action, IRON Chef stepped forward, digital eyes glaring, his oven running hot. "You two are seriously lacking in manners! In fact, you're being downright bullies! You shouldn't pick on someone because of their weight! I demand an apology from you both for my friends!"

The two thugs paused for a moment, letting the robot's words sink in. Once they had, of course, they laughed harder than ever. "AHAHAHA! What is this? Youse guys brought a walkin' toaster ta wag a finger at us?" "HAW! Whatcha gonna do, Ronny Robot? You gonna lecture us to death?"

Bebop's laughter was suddenly smothered by a hot deep dish pizza splattering against his face. "I am the IRON Chef!" the robot said indignantly. "Only my friends can call me Ronny, and neither of you is being very friendly!" More pizza were thrown with amazing accuracy, causing both thugs to stagger and splutter, wiping away gooey cheese and tomato sauce from their eyes, but even as they did that, energy crackled out from the robot's shoulder-mounted dish, enveloping them both! Now their fit bellies started to bow outward, gaining inches in seconds, growling with unnatural hunger. Belts creaked, groaned, and snapped apart as the two found themselves trying to catch the pizzas with their mouths, hungry for more!

1) Success! Bebop and Rocksteady end up immobilized by the attack, too fat to stop the trio from entering the tunnels to the Technodrome.

2) Bebop and Rocksteady beg for mercy. Shredder treats them so poorly, and the food's been even worse! Everyone sits down for a pizza party, and the story moves over to Mondo and Leatherhead...

3) Uh-oh! Looks like IRON Chef's attack had turned Bebop and Rocksteady into sumos, too! Now they really have a super-sized fight on their hands!


I had a feeling this last one was gonna be pretty unanimous. But then again, you guys thought I was gonna show a few more guts in this one too, huh? Well, your bellies are on the next entry, guaranteed! It's just up to you on what kind yer gonna see! Particularly liked how badass Ronnie ended up looking, and how wide Mikey looks too. Umph, double chin.

Coupla extra things: I dunno who's been tellin' folks I was gonna take a hiatus for a few weeks, but it ain't true. Now, i may not post every day or every other day, but so far, your participation and involvement is what's keepin' me goin'! Don't quit on me, and I won't quit on you, yeah?

Also, will the little blue otter that snuck onto the stream and stole my chocogryph return it? He gets hungry, and you're about snack-sized, too. It's for your own safety, really.
