The Final Episode (TMNT 1987)

Strange Truth

Shredder's POV-

Side by side, Krang and I walked in the opposite direction of the turtles, In search of the engine room.

"Way to remain inconspicuous Saki. You'd think a ninja would be a much better master in the art of deception. The Turtles nearly found out about your crush on that redheaded female." Krang croaked in what was either mock or sarcasm after a few minutes of silent searching.

"I do NOT have a crush on miss O'Neal!" I shot back defensively. Krang simply rolled his eyes.                                "No, your right, you don't have a crush on her. Your in love with her."

" I AM NOT...." I started to yell before being abruptly cut over by my partner. "Oh please, you can't hide it from me. I know you to well, and for to long. Don't think I haven't noticed by now." He snorted.

"I have no idea what your talking about." My heart pounded in my chest and little did I know that beneath my mask,  my cheeks were flushing redder then the shorts on Krangs android body.

"I see the way you glance at her when you think she's not looking. The fact that even with over 45 news stations in the Manhattan area alone, we are always tuned into channel 6. Over the years you've developed reverse Stockholm Syndrome. Your always kidnapping her as often as possible, even when the plot does not require it." He shook his head. "AND of course that when you kidnap her, you never tie her up tight enough and she nearly always gets loose. Not to mention, whenever we eat and she is our prisoner you always MAKE SURE that you order a portion for her. You even let her eat at the table with us. You may not even realize it yourself old friend, but you are most definitely in love with her!"

Head hung low I refused to meet his gaze. Krang knew me better then anyone. Even though I didn't want to think about it, he was usually right. "Spare me Krang... What would you know of love anyway?"

He simply chuckled, that high pitched, whiny chuckle of his.

"Oh, I'm several hundred times your age, I know a little. Do you remember Shreeka?" He asked, a nostalgic smile plastered to his smug pink little face.

"The psycho alien warlord woman? The one who's wanted some ring back that you stole in season 6?" I replied as a quick flashback played in my mind.

"Ex wife..." Admitted Krang.

Those 2 little words shocking me to my very core... I actually stopped on my tracks and turned to face him. "No... NO!" I cried in disbelief. "You've been married?!?" in the many years of known Krang he had never once mentioned EVER being married. I was never actually sure he was capable of any type of romance until the day he met my mother and HIT ON HER. "You never once thought to tell me that?!?" I shrieked.

"It never came up." His android body shrugged casually.

"Wait... You were married to her? Like actually married? But she was insane, crazy, a few bolts short of a kuku clock?!?" I yelled in question.

Krang sighed nostalgicly "Yeah, she was. It was hot wasn't it?" I threw my hands up. "Wow... Just wow." Was all I could say.                                 He placed his android hands onto his robot body.   "And I didn't steal that ring from her, it was my wedding ring." He stated defensively.

"Krang, why would you need a wedding ring? You don't even have any fingers?" I rolled my eyes, walking forward and continuing looking for the right door.

"Cartoon Logic." He shrugged.

"How are we ever going to find the Engine room in this place!" I said loudly throwing my hands up in frustrations.

I sure hope the turtles are having better luck than we are. We've been wondering around in this place for a good 30 minutes now. And we've come up with nothing.

I started to walk away from where Krang was stopped, but when I heard an all to familiar clearing of the voice, I stopped.

"Shredd-Eerr don't you mean this room." He burped.

He then proceeded to take one of his arms and point at the sign above the door that said 'Engine Room'.

I stood in my spot looking at the door for a while before looking down at Krang.

"Yes that's the room. Thank you." I said trying to remain calm.

I walked over to Krang and was about to go through the opening door before Krang decided to speak once more.

"Just thought I'd let you know this but we've past this door about 20 times already." He chuckled.

"And why didn't you tell me the first time!" I turned towards him.

"Well the first time I missed it." He replied back smugly.

I sighed in frustration,"Then what about the second time after that?!"

"Well I just enjoyed watching you behave like this. It's very enjoyable. Pathetic, but enjoyable." He smiled brightly.

I sarcastically said "ha ha."

Then I moved on into the Engine room with Krang following close behind.

Inside it was a cathedral styled ceiling, and you could guess why it was like that. All around the room were small engines and huge engines that almost touched the ceiling. I would have to say very impressive, I'm a little jealous. But I didn't come all this way just to check out Dregg's horse power.

"Move! Out of my way! I'm not here to gawk." I heard Krang say behind me.

He walked on past me and towards one of the smaller engines. When he reached it, he started to mess with the control panel to it.

"Why can't we just tear this place apart. It would be a lot easier." I told Krang.

He sighed before turning around towards me,"Well if you want fall out of the sky, blast a meteorite sized hole into the earth and kill mitt only every one on board but a good chunk of the New York City Population, then by all means, go ahead." He said sarcastically.

He then turned around and went straight back to work. I sighed and walked over to the engine next to his, leaning up against it.

This is going to take forever, and not to mention, be extremely boring.

But as that last thought crossed my mind, the door opened and in came over 50 bots, all come straight towards Krang and I.

"Intruder alert, elimination begins now." They all said at the same time.

I looked over to Krang who had turned around for this annoyance, he seemed to generally not care as he rolled his eyes.

"Saki, take of this now!" He ordered me

"Krang, for the millionth time, when we are on duty, it's 'The Shredder'. Oh and what's the magic word?" I ask him, knowing it would bug him. And annoying my old friend was one of life's simple pleasures.

He let out a sigh of frustration before squealing,"PLEeEeaAase!"

I let out a chuckle and stepped forward, They were not turtles, but a battle thirsty warrior never gets picky with his prey.
