Draxum's son (an ROTTMNT AU)

Chapter 11 - The Awakening

Once Baron Draxum had his son back, the Foot Lieutenant felt like he slowly drifted away from their plan, suddenly, things were going very slower, with Draxum spending more and more of his time dedicated to his son, he lost the sense of urgency in the plan, probably because his motivation was already accomplished, he rescued his son, that was all that really mattered to him in the end, that child.... was the driving force for him to be willing to destroy for, Draxum was close to causing the end of the world over him, why? What is the importance that small creature hold? The answer for this question is almost unknown to the Foot clan, but the sudden hit in the breaks really slowed everything down.

The Hamato Clan were kept prisoners for about 5 days, until they finally unlocked the realization that they needed to be themselves to win this battle, the five ninja warriors break free from their imprisonment and went to the dark armor, to undo that caos once and for all, the heads of the Foot Clan, Foot Lieutenant and Draxum, were immediately informed of the scape and rushed to the main room, where the armor was being kept, Michael went in too but stayed hidden in the shadows above for a surprise attack in case they need some back up, Draxum held the very last piece of the armor on his hand and threatened to unleash the demon, despite Splinter's claims, that this action would end horribly, he didn't listened, seeing they were not going to give up, Draxum places the last piece of the armor and it comes to life, the chestplate opens and a core of dark magic flows inside, getting the attention from everyone in the room, Splinter freaks out and tells his sons to run for their lifes, and so they leave.

Draxum was infuriated, Michael came down from the ceiling to check on his father, who was foaming of anger, the Foot Lieutenant opened a wide grin on his face as he approached Draxum, Michael felt something off going on and yelled for his father to watch out as he ran towards the two men, Draxum heard the call and turned around, just in time to watch the Foot Lieutenant push him against the dark core o the armor, Michael tried to reach out for him, desperate and scared, but a ton of Foot ninjas appear and take him down, he's pinned to the ground, crying and screaming for his dad, who is reluctantly fighting the armor as it forces itself to suit him up, he fights with all his might yet it's not enough, he can feel that devil taking control of his body, the raw fear and despair for his life, and he saw his sons, terrified and trapped by his once allies, he tries to scream, but a ferocious roar replaces his voice, as the helmet shuts and the Shredder takes full control over him.

Michael had to sit there and watch it all happen, they were betrayed, betrayed by those nasty humans, his father was right, they really are the worst, he struggles to break free from the grasp of those dozens of strong and highly trained ninjas, he watched his own dear father being possessed by that freak of a monster in a painful and horrific scene, once that beast let out it's roar, and his father was completely taken over, he froze in fear and disbelief, he hit his head in the ground and cries his eyes out, wishing for this to be all just a bad dream, like a helpless child begging for mercy, the Shredder has now a physical body to posses and walks around, scanning the area, a remain of Draxum conscious is still present, he can see through the demon's eyes, the Shredder hears the sobs and hiccups along with feeling a familiar and powerful presence, the Shredder turns it's head to Michael, who is still surrendered by the mercy of the Foot.

Draxum feels the Shredder's intentions, he tries to take control he tries to hold back, but he can't, the devil charges in with all of it's force, summoning a powerful attack to wipe the poor and miserable turtle out of the existence, Draxum is scared, but unable to do anything to help, as the attack reaches his sons, an explosion of light occurs, blinding his sight, when Draxum opens his eyes again, he realizes his son is gone, a crater filled with fire and ashes was all there was left, his heart sank in pain, his child, his precious son, someone who was so dear to him, gone, by his own hands, by his own mistakes, the little remnant of Draxum's consciousness fades away in sadness, the Shredder is even able to feel the grief emerging of it's soul, at least, the only soul he has and was possessing this very moment, it doesn't take long for the Shredder to shake off that feeling and continue with it's path of death and destruction.

The entire Foot clan bows to his feet, celebrating his greatness, but the Shredder is quick to attack them regardless and with no mercy, pity or remorse, something in him, flourished an ever-growing hatred of his own followers, who all mostly ran away, hopefully quitting in the future, maybe it was the assimilation of Draxum's soul that was affecting his mindset, but as the irrational monster it is, Shredder didn't care one bit, the demon reached the surface of New York and began the searches for the rest of the Hamato family, who was trying to tend a new hiding spot, afraid that by going home, they'll attract the beast to their front door, so they find a hiding place in the abbandoned subways where they can all take shelter until they fully formulate a new plan to stop that thing, they were all still afflicted by everything, the failure of their initial plan, the release of the Shredder, Mikey still being missing and out there on his own, what if the Shredder finds him? What if the Shredder kills him? They just got him back so... so... wait... what if the Shredder finds them too? The anxiety invades their minds and everyone but Splinter and April who are trying to come up with the plan to solve that mess.
