We walk into the lair. I've come to realize that the original inhabitant of this body cannot keep themselves quiet, even their mind is extremely loud. I feel like im losing it. I can hear them and I think they can hear me, but only sometimes. I haven't found out what the trigger for it is quite yet. But when I do, it will be dealt with quickly.

I know almost nothing about these turtles so deceiving them may prove difficult. I only know of their master, and I have spoke with Leonardo briefly- perhaps it would do me better to be in that one's body... But im in this one. And I still don't know how I got stuck in here in the first place. Perhaps it is more karma for my actions.
But, I will use what the universe has given to punish me with to my full advantage. I will not let this stunt me...

Suddenly, my thoughts are interrupted by a voice from one of the sewers inhabitants. Wondrous...
"Mikey, where the shell have you been hiding all day?"
The red one puts its hands on its hips as it speaks to me.

Now- I don't know any of these turtles names but one. But if I'm smart about this, I won't have to. I feel a but uneasy as those stark white eyes glare at me, pure sclera with bo pupil in sight. Reminds me of that ice rock I was exiled to..
I look away, feeling sweat bead up on this sludgy, impudent, cursed body. Absolutely disgusting- I can't help but shiver.

"Uhh...nowhere-"
I don't even know what these things are, and I'm not an expert at gendering turtles or anything- but I believe a flat plastron means that these weirdos are female turtles.
"-Sister?"

My words were hesitant and I was almost pounced on, yet I dodged the raging beast, and it roared at me.
"Sister? What, you calling me a sissy or something? I'll show you!"
This was absolutely impossible. I should just kill them now.
"Is this the punch of a pixie? ya dip stick!"
I was blocking the red one's punches, and it was just making him angrier.

"I wouldn't know, you can't seem to land any.."
For a turtle, he sure growls like a lowly dog.
A different voice sounds from behind, and my defense lowers as the red one drops its offense.
A turtle behind us is working on a submarine, and it's banded in purple.
"Lay off him Raphael, he hasn't got to annoy you all day, It's got to be killing him!"

Raphael, Leonardo? I must be dreaming, having some afterlife crisis. Hallucinating in my
death-throes. I bust out into laughter and it makes Raphael and the purple one stare.
"Raphael? And who are you-?"
I point to the purple one.
"Michelangelo?"
It raises an eyebrow, looking confused as it lowers its blowtorch.
"No... you're Michelangelo."

I feel a smack on the head and growl, I turn and see it was Raphael.
"There ya go, I knocked the loose screws back in to place for ya."
He pauses and grins with malice
"Sister."
His laughter is so obnoxious and loud- it feels like being thrown in a nuclear reactor.

"You feeling ok Mikey? You're not usually this.. this uh.."
The purple one comes down to me, it looks concerned. It reaches out to me and I simply hit its hand away, and the freak recoils in shock.
"Donatello is right my son.."

I nearly flinch of our shell- my skin... when I hear that voice. Hamato Splinter...
"You are acting quite out of character. Is Something troubling you? Leonardo's absence, perchance?"

I don't know what to say. If I ask why Leonardo is gone, it may out me as even more suspicious... I go to speak, not even sure what to say yet-

When some alarm goes off suddenly!
"Huh?"

But the alarm dies off just as quickly.

"That shouldn't happen. If something triggers the perimeter alarm, it shouldn't stop ringing until I turn it off!"
Donatello stated, jumping away from the rest of us and into his spinning chair.

He goes on to say someone must have deactivated the outer alarm system... now who would be smart enough to do that other than me..? Hmm.
Suddenly, the ground beneath my feet started to quake, and I must not have been used to being bipedal- because I fell to the stone floor with a yelp.

Raphael helped me up as some cat hid behind my legs, making me feel like tripping again. Which is peculiar because I could stand just fine before.. I hate this place, this body. We all armed our weapons as something tried to break down the door infront of us. But not only the door broke open- the entire wall around the entrance collapsed. What a lousy excuse of a lair, I could hardly hold back a scoff. And I realized quickly that these were my men. The foot ninja!

Of course- they wouldn't recognize me like this... and neither would I let such low class warriors have their blade taste the sweet blood of vengeance meant for me! The death of Hamato Splinter and his students were for my hands to cause! I knew every punch and kick of the foot clan... this fight would be mere child's play. If even that...

Rushing forwards, dodging, hitting. It was really a blur of black and bloodshed. But eventually- someone emerged from the shroud of smoke. It was me- but that was impossible...

The remaining Foot-soldiers stood down instantaneously.
"No way- it can't really be The Shredder... can it?"
Donatello's voice cracked and I had to cover my ears as he asked the question. It was a foolish question to us- but I may be biased.
"Of course not, it must be some kind of impersonation of m- him! The Shredder..."

Hamato Splinter nodded. Fools, all of them.
"You may be right, my son. The Shredder we know was banished. Who are you, and why have you come to our home?"
The rat pointed his cane to the stranger in the suit, and an all too familiar voice echoed from it. I should have known.

"Oroku Saki is gone because of you, but The Shredder Lives on!"
The figure took off the Kabuto to reveal her face. Karai. My daughter, my apprentice, my... Scion. A descendant from my noble name. She doesn't know it yet, but she is very wrong. Oroku Saki, I- Live on... even if it is in this body...

My daughter speaks so highly of me and my honor... what a shame I can't let her have the glory of vengeance. That honor will go to me.

Robots destroyed the environment around us, stone and home became rubble as soldiers fought to drown us in their battle...

Yet I couldn't help but notice Karai.

And how she was about to take my kill.

My vengeance upon Hamato Splinter.

I couldn't have that happen.

I would not let it happen.

Before Donatello could kick Karai away, I kicked Donatello away.



Hamato Splinter will perish.
