Leonardo vs Randy Cunningham — Description
This idea was too Bruce to pass up when I had it. (and really, I'm surprised that not a lot of TMNT/RC9GN art exists)

So... how would these two come to trade blows? Well... I had a much longer story in mind... but I lost it due to some errors... so here's a shorter version (Assuming that the Turtles would end up in Norrsiville, somehow)

The Turtles aided the Ninja in destroying a machine that was the end result of a colaberation between McFist and Shredder. As usual, the turtles flee to the sewers to avoid the public eye, while the Ninja did his usual thing of staying behind to bask in the glory... a glory that the reptilian brothers were not allowed to share in.

Later that evening, the turtles meet The Ninja and Howard on the roof of NHS with Pizza and McBubbleBurp to celebrate. While the others reminisce and dig in... Leonardo is uncharacteristically bitter. He just sits there, silently glaring at Randy while he babbles on about his contribution to the battle. Leo's silence is broken when Randy notices.

"Dude, Leo, you alright?" Randy asks with genuine concern, "You look kinda... troubled."

Leo remains silent.

"... Pepperoni for your thoughts?" Michelangelo innocently asks as he offers Leo a slice of Pizza.

...

"You're a pretender, you know that, right?" Leo's burying of the lead shocked all who heard it.

"Uh... say what?" Randy is legitimately confused,
"The point of being a ninja is discipline, stealth, and anonymity," Leo lectures as he stands up to star Randy down, "and yet all I see when you're in battle is a reckless, attention-seeking hooligan in a magic suit that does all of the work for him. My brothers and I have been training since the day be could stand upright to master our bodies and minds, and have been keeping to the shadows ever since; meanwhile, you're anonymously granted those abilities like a birthday card, and stick around to sign autographs."

"Hey!" Randy stands up to defend himself, and meets Leonardo's gaze, "It's not like I asked to be the Ninja, I just accepted it, along with the burden and blame that comes with it! Besides, I have to go through training, too, you know! It's not like the mask automatically makes everyone who wears it 100% Bruce instantly,"

"Who's bruce?" Mickey whispers to Howard, who shushes him immediately.

"Yeah? well, unlike you, I can still be a ninja-warrior even without my mask." Leo gets in Randy's face.

"Yeah? well... unlike you...!" Under better circumstancesm Randy wouldn't go down this road... but... "I can still fit in with the rest of society without my mask!"

Shots fired... swords drawn... it is on...

-meanwhile, at McFist industries.

"Viceroy, Stockman, McFist," The Shredder;s barotone voice echoes through Hannibal's office as the three he addressed cower before him, "You three assured me that the machine would get the Turtles AND the Ninja to destroy each other!!"

"It will! We promise!" McFist grovels, "Viceroy said that the aggression-power that was slipped into it's paint job should've gotten into their systems as soon as their swords pierced the armer!"

"It's true!" Viceroy added, "I bet that right now they are at each other's throats! Please don't make my legs match Hannibal's arm!!"

Man... I went overboard.
