Because I'm leaving early, I'll be receiving a "no credit" for my internship on my transcript. Personally, I don't see the NC being that bad because 1) who's going to look at my old school's transcript, and 2) even if they do, I can explain it.

But my current school made it sound bad, which is making me worry. Hence this topic. Is it bad to have a NC on my transcript?

Yeah I initially agree with you it's NBD, but I'd consider:

Asking if you can retroactively withdraw from the course. (Maybe take it to the Dean of Student Affairs etc...). I think it's pretty unfair that your transcript will look like someones who just didn't show up/complete their internship. Also, would it be possibly finish this class in summer and get a P and then leave the school?

I'd fight a bit to get a P, but the NC isn't terrible. It's kind of lame (tbh) that your current school is passive-aggressively threatening you with a NC due to a transfer.

Try and get the units reduced so you can get credit for 8 units rather than a NC on 12?

This is pretty sleazy if your school is trying to punish you for leaving.

I feel like going to the media with this. It's very childish and immature.

ATL! Although, this is the exact reason I didn't enroll for externship credit at my current school because I knew I would be transferring and I would be over the transfer hour limit + I didn't want to pay for credit that couldn't transfer.
