The Shredder vs the Shapers!



Four dark characters came up with weapons in hand. If I said anything all I worked for would be destoried. As the white eyes showed through the darkness and the red face masks flapped in the wind, I knew they would not stop till all was down. They would kill the kids that are with me, then go to kill me.

"Attack!" I yelled as the teens started to fight the four. Little did they know was that for once the four would not win. I grabbed out a throwing star and threw it at a rope above them. A big glass blow went around the four.

These four are no humans, nor are they aliens.. though they really look it. They were once normal pets of this world, now they are freaks. They use their look as a reason to fight crime. It's not everyday you see these freaks, these Turtles.

"LET US OUT METAL MOUTH!" One of the four Turtles yelled as he hit the glass hard. They called this Turtle Raphael. His anger makes him strong, and my new Master would like that. Anger is what My Master lives for.

"Hey Tin-Grin, if you're just going to sit there at least order us a pizza, I'm hungry." Raph hit this Turtle as he spoke. This is the one that acts the youngest his name is Michaelangelo. A smart turtle that wears a mask for us to think he's dumb yet he just drives us crazy.

The other two Turtles are Leonardo and Donatello. Leo leads them, and Don is the smart one, at least this is what I can tell. I don't really sit down and have any friendly talk with them.

"Foot! Guard the freaks! The truck will be here for them any minute now."

"Will the truck have pizza?" Michaelangelo asked with a smile on his face. If it was my choice I would have shot him. He knew that, I hated his jokes and that I would never give him pizza. If I replyed he would have kept it up. I walked off knowing I had more work to do.

I'm starting to miss working with only the Foot, my new boss doesn't give me much time off at all. Rob a bank! Leave no one alive! Caught the Turtles! Do this! Do that! Man do I hate life!

"Master Shredder, Lord Killer wants you to come with us back to base."

"You mean I have to come on the same truck with those DAMN FREAKEN TURTLES!!!" I said as I put one of my blades up to the teen's neck.

"Sorry..p.p.please don't kill me. I'm only bringing you a mes..message." I threw the teen down and walked back near the glass blow, leaving the kid with a cut throat, with blood going down his shirt. Don and Leo were feeling the blow to find a weak spot to hit for the glass to break. Little did they know was that it was unbreakable glass from another world.

Raphael kept hitting at the glass trying to make it weaken. I watched from the shadows, hoping they wouldn't notice me. I didn't need them knowing I was on the same ride with them. They would just drive me crazy!

The truck drove up and a female ninja jumped out. Her name is Mekoshan, a fellow worker. A few of the W kids were driving the truck. As the W kids headed towards the glass bowl, Mekoshan noticed me.

"Well.. well Shredder, if you got a job done right for once I'll be shocked."

"It's done Mekoshan, now we kill them?" Mekoshan looked towards the Turtles. I noticed Leonardo was watching her.

"No, the Master wants them alive." I know Leo and her were friends the last time we had Leo caught. "Now Shredder we are to take the Turtles in the wheel chair to the base in New York so they can take care of him till he's better. The others are going to Japan." She walked over to the glass bowl. Leo looked happy to see her.

"Hi Mekoshan, long time no see." Leo said putting his hand on the glass.

"You never visit." She joked. This made me sick. To see her a fellow W friends with those Turtles, or even one of them.

"Ah Leo, do I need to remind you? SHE'S ONE OF THE BAD GUYS!!!" Raphael yelled. Of course I agreed with him, good & bad shouldn't get along.

"No time for small talk Mekoshan! We have to get these turtles back to Japan TODAY!!" I said pulling Mekoshan away from Leonardo. Leo looked down and then sat next to the edge of the cage. Raph looked shocked to see Leo just give in. "I'll guard the cage till these freaks are put in the truck and closed up, you just make sure the money from the bank is put away."

"Ok Shredder. Though I'll stay in back and guard the Turtles in the truck."

"Yea right! You would be so busy watching Leonardo that you wouldn't notice anything happening. YOU'RE SITTING IN FRONT WITH ME!" She looked so mad, though I know I have say over her, since I'm higher in rank. She turned and walked off, I could about see the tears coming down her eyes.

"Good show Tin Grin. I can see you know how to handle things around here! She's going to love you and follow your every word for the rest of your life, how ever long it's going to last after I get out of here." Raph said with a smile on his face. I swear if I wasn't with the W's I would kill Raph right now.

"Shut up Shell Back! Hopefully by the end of the night I'll have a can of beer with a big bowl of Turtle soup!" Raph backed off and started to shake Leonardo. The other two Turtles were sitting watching me.

Donatello looked so scary in the eyes. I swear he was so quiet yet so mad. He looked so peaceful yet dangerous at sametime. Michaelangelo had an evil smile on his face. He knows I'm going to be in the same ride. I fear Michaelangelo because I already have a hang over from last night, when Blades took me bar hoping.

"So Shred-head, when is our pizza getting here? You know if it's late you'll get $3 off. Oh! Wait! Don't worry you'll get it for free. Once the Pizza Dude sees your face, he'll drop dead." I couldn't take this, Michaelangelo knows that I hate that, and I thought it was made clear not to do this to me when I brought the foolish Turtle close to death.

A few W teens came over and opened the back of the truck and cleared an area for the cage. They grabbed out a remotecontrol and made the cage float up into the truck. The Turtles seemed shocked. All but Leonardo who was to far off in lala land to notice. Raphael started to shake Leo harder to get him to notice.

By time the cage was in the truck Leo looked around. He came to life finally. Not hearing what they were saying didn't bother me to much. Though with the way Raph is yelling at him, it looks fun to watch. I leaned up against a wall watching them, and making sure to watch Mekoshan do her work.

"Master Shredder the truck is loaded, though there's not enough room for Mekoshan and you to ride up front. Who do you want to ride in back?" This was a hard question. Knowing Mekoshan, she might just let them go. And after all the hard work I've done to caught them I can't let that happen. These Turtles mean to much to me, they have been getting free for too many years!

"I'll ride in back." I said looking up to see Michaelangelo looking at me from the cage in the truck.. he could tell what just happened. I could tell he knew from the smile on his face.

When time came to go, I started to head for the back of the truck. Michaelangleo sat up in his wheel chair and kept eye contact with me. The evil grin across his face told me that I wasn't going to enjoy this trip. He knew that I hated seeing their faces, not alone being near them.

"You know Shred-head you really should get more than all the money off for this pizza, it's really late." I just ignored him as I found a place to sit. Michaelangelo made a gross face as I sat down.

"eww" he said then covered his face. I knew it had to be a joke so I didn't let that get to me. The door was shut and we started to move. Michaelangelo was being quiet. I had no idea to what he could be up to. Then I noticed two glowing eyes, with some sharp teeth looking at me. It was a cat, a mad cat. But why was this cat so pissed? Next thing I knew the cat jumped me!

"GET OFF ME YOU DUMB CAT!!" I rolled away from where I was sitting and the cat jumped off of me. I looked back to see I was sitting on a dead mouse.

"HAHAHAHAHA!!!" I heard Michaelangelo laughing from int he cage. It ticked me off so bad. It was as if he knew I wouldn't listen to him. I grabbed the cat by the back of the neck and threw it out of the moving car. "NOOO!!!!" Michaelangelo yelled.

"Shut up you stupid Turtle! If the cats smart enough, he'll recover and get out of the road before he gets hit." Michaelangelo looked down. I could tell he didn't want the cat hurt, but I didn't care. Now was my chance to get him while he's down.

"So Shell back, got a soft spot for the fur ball. To bad it had that for it faith." Michaelangelo looked at me, then looked down.

"If it died!" He said, with tears in his eyes.

"IF IT DIES WHAT? HAHAHA YOU POOR TURTLE CAN'T DO ANYTHING! YOU'RE NOW GOING TO BE IN THE W'S AND THERE'S NO WAY OUT!" It was sounding good to me. I started to walk towards the cage to lye it down harder on the depressed turtle. "Now is my chance of getting you guys back for all you have done! You guys gave me a bad name. Now is my chance to get you! HAHA I know I'll make all the TV's in the world so they can only play We Wish You a Turtle Christmas and Turtle Tunes! HAHAHA!" The poor Turtle wasn't even listening to me. "I know I'll make a tour and put you in a dre..." I sat up, after just falling up against the wall. The driver hit the breaks to hard. There's soemthing wrong.

"What happened!" I yelled trying to find away to talk to the ppl in the cab. The back doors flew open. I grabbed out my sword. There stood a few police men, with guns aimed at me. This is a joke. I stepped forward.

"Oh I give in coppers, you caught me with my robot Turtles going to do a show. I know I'm not with Mirage, but the money is going down for the blind." The cops looked at me, then at each other. They shrugged and looked back at me. "How much is it going to take from the blind, for this ticket?" The Turtles sat up, though they knew if they talked, humans would learn of them and the Government would have a feild day with them.

"Show?" One of the cops said.

"Good robots," the other cop said. "Sorry we stopped you, though this van matches one saw at a bank robbery."

"Oh I'm so sorry to hear. You may search the van if you want." The two cops jumped in and looked around, as soon as both of the cops had their back to me I raised my sword.

"LOOK OUT!" Donatello yelled but it was too late, the heads of the cops were on the ground. I jumped out of the truck and walked to the front.

"Are the cops gone?" The driver asked.

"They're taken care of." I said and got back into the back of the truck.

"You didn't have to kill them." Donatello said.

"Yes, I didn't have to, but I wanted to. Now shut up or the same will happen to you." I loved the power, the feeling, just to see one of those turtles shut up and sit back.

The van came to a stop outside a old run down apartment. Some W kids came out and opened the doors on the back of the truck. "We want the turtles in the wheel chair."

"Duh." I said, as if they didn't know that I knew the plans. "He's over there." Michaelangelo looked up, knowing they were talking about him. Michaelangelo brought up a pair of chucks on his wheel chair.

"Just try and get near me dudes!" He said, as the other Turtles went around to protect him.

"Come on Shred-Head open the cage! Try and get him out!" Raphael said with a laugh in his voice. "I've been waiting for this!"

"Don't be to disappointed." I said as I grabbed the a controler and pressed a red button a glass bobble went around Michaelangelo and brought him out of the cage by belinding with the wall as it came out. I find this alien stuff handy when it comes to shocking Turtles.

"Take this control." I said handing it to the W kids. "This should handle the cage with Michaelangelo in it."

"Heh, Shred-dude knows my name!" He joked, then the W's took him away, the other Turtles were hitting the glass as hard as they could.

Donatello stopped hitting the glass as he watched Michaelangelo go out of the cage. He is just standing there looking at the glass. "This is not human, this must be from the world those Shapers are from, unless they got a new force helping them."

"You mean we mgiht not be able to break this?" Raph said grabbing Donatello up against a wall.

"Yea, I think that's what I'm saying." Donatello pushes Raphael back. "Now chill down and let's think of away out of this."

"Oh great, we have to let Mr. Smarty Pants find us away out." Raph said as he crossed his arms. This was something I enjoyed to watch, it would show me that those Turtles aren't perfect.

Donatello started to check the glass out, though he looked as if he was having trouble. I bet it's because he doesn't have any his computers to help him. Leonardo just stared at the door, then looked at me. I could tell even though the blades are off the poor Turtle, he's not better all the way. And how little the Turtles know about the blades, is a weakness to them. Now since the blades have blinded with Leonardo once, they will never be fulling gone. Though the blades can't be put back upon him. The anger in the turtle makes the blades grow again.

I looked at the anger in Leonardo's eyes. He was very upset with me. I kept Mekoshan from sitting with him. I just had his brother taken away, and I was the one that made it so his brother was in a wheel chair. He hates me, and I know it. I felt as the car drove onto the cargo plane, and watched as the back door opened. Killer was standing there, with Terror by his side.

"Hello my Master, I bring you the Turtles, as promised." I said as the cage floated out into Killer's reach.

"Good job Shredder." Killer said as he walked around the cage to face Leonardo. "I see you haven't recovered from the blades yet. Good."

"What do you mean by that?!" Raph said as he walked towards the part of the cage where Leonardo is. "I removed the blades from Leo, he's free!!"

"Ah, but do you think my stuff would work so easy?" Killer said as he smiled at Raphael. "My toys do more than what most would know or exspect. The blades are one of my favorite toys. For while they are on someone, they become one with the person. Once the blades are taken off, they, leave a seed in whom ever it was that wore the blades. Anger makes the new blades grow."

"You mean, Leo will always have these blades on him?"

"Correct boy wonder! The blades are a part of him, and once the new blades grow out, nothing can remove them." With Leonardo's back towards me, I couldn't see his reacton.

"Now once the new shipment of blades come in, you two will get the blades as well." Killer said looking at them.

"No." Leonardo said in a soft voice Killer looked at Leonardo, seeing the turtle was up to something. I got up and walked over to Killer.

"No? Did I hear you right?" Killer said, as he looked at Leonardo dead in the eyes.

"You heard me right." The other two turtles went behind Leonardo. "I wont let you touch them. If you put the blades on them, I'll never work for you. I'll live in pain."

"And if I leave the blades off of them?"

"Than I'll work for you." Leonardo said looking down.

"Besides, I'll NEVER WORK FOR YOU!!!!" Raphael said. Killer looked at Raphael, I could tell he liked Raphael's attitude.

"Very well Leonardo. Your brothers wont get the blades. But they will work for me." Killer said with a smile, then he snapped his figures a few W kids came over and gave each Turtle the shot of pain.

"Leonardo, are you sure about this?" Donatello asked, looking in fear at Killer. Leonardo lower his head.

"Yes," He said "I have to Don, I can't let Killer put the blades on you guys as well. I just have to remain either depressed or happy. I can't get mad."

"Bring the Turtle with the sais." Killer said to a W kid on the way out. The kid grabbed Raphael and pushed him towards the door to the seats in the plane. I stayed in the cargo pit with the other two Turtles.

"What is he doing with Raph?" Leonardo asked looking at me.

"I don't know. Why would I care? For all I care he could kill the shell-back." I answered to watch Leonardo look towards the ground. I coud tell he was worried, but why should I care. Those Turtles never did anything to help me, and they never will. I looked at Leonardo and I remember how I felt when the hospital was trying to save Nagi. I didn't know what they were doing with Nagi, and I worried, though I had a right to worry. Nagi didn't come out alive. No one settled my worries. Why should I help that Turtle?

"Well you got us working for you. The lease you can do is open the cage." Donatello said with a ton of anger in his voice. I walked over to the cage.

"Let's get one thing clear, you're not working for me! you are working for Killer! I too am working for the red bloob!" I opened the cage door. Though I would have rather left them in the cage, I knew they were going no where.

"Fine Shredder, we're working for Killer. Happy now?" Donatello said as he stepped out of the cage. Leonardo looked up towards the door that Killer took Raph through. He got up and headed towards the door, I got in his way.

"Down Turtle! I don't think Killer wants to see any more of your green ugly faces right now."

"I have the rights to know what he's doing with Raphael!"

"Wrong Leonardo. As long as you work for Killer, you have no rights. You are his pets!" That felt so good to say. I've always wanted to pin these Turtles down, with having them as pets and this comes close enough.

"Out of my way Shredder! I will fight for my rights!"

"Oh, I'm so scared of the big bad Turtle." I said with a smile, I knew this would make Leonardo madder, getting those blades to grow more. To force these Turtles to work for us, is an idea I've thought of for years.. but would have rather saw them dead. But since I have no other choice than to work with him, let's get him evil. Leonardo pulled his sword out, but a W kid grabbed him back.

"Remember Turtle, you're working with us now. Put your weapon away." Leonardo did as the W kid told him. He looked down, wanting to get through the door. Donatello walked over to Leonardo and put his hand on him.

"Don't worry Leo, we'll get to Raph." Donatello said as he pulled Leonardo away from me. I looked towards the door, I want to know what Killer is doing with Raphael.

"W's guard the Turtles... and make sure they stay in order back here. I'm going up front."

"Yes Master Shredder." One of the kids said as he looked back towards the Turtles. I turned and walked through the door. Killer was sitting in a seat next to Raphael, a bunch of W's were standing around, Mekoshan was sitting on the otherside of Killer. I walked over and sat next to Mekoshan.

"What's going on?" I whispered to Mekoshan.

"Just watch." She said, as she looked back towards Killer and Raphael.

"Now Turtle, your anger does you well. I'll like you to work up front with me. You will be the leader of the Turtles from now on. What do you say?" Killer said, he had some kind of plan cooking and I could smell it.

"Not a chance! I'm not going to work for you!"

"Why not? To protect the humans? To save those who will hurt you without a second thought? To save those who you hide from? Look at it this way Turtle, we're helping you." Killer said, as he leaned back in his seat.

"Helping? How the Hell are you helping us?! By keeping us caught up in this crime wav?! Give me a break! We're not stupid!" Raphael was getting fed up with Killer, though Killer didn't seem to mind. From what I could tell, he wanted Raphael mad.

"Have it your way. Here's your choices. Either one, you work with us and get anything you want. Meaning free food, free games, cars, anything. Even a chance to go to a world where you would fit in. No more hiding in the sewers. No more searching the sewers for money. No more having to act like you're a costume. Or you can be handed over to the Government to check out the science lab."

"Why do you want me as the leader? I never made a good leader, that's why Leonardo leads." Killer smiled, seeing he didn't have to have the anger in his voice, since Raphael was starting to see his choices.

"Why not you? You're a way better leader than Leonardo would ever be. You have the anger and control that I need. You are what I've been looking for to lead my armys." Killer said, as he brought up a hand that turned into fire. "You join me, and you'll get powers you've only dreamed of." Raphael looked at the fire in the hand. He knew Killer was up to something, but would he fall for it or not?

"Is there any other choices?" Raphael ask.

"Just one. DEATH!" Killer smiled at Raphael.

"Um... I guess I better take guess choice number one." Raphael said looking away. He knew this was going to be a mistake. But what he didn't realize was why he was picked out of the Turtles, to be the one in highest comand. But I think I caught on. The anger in that Turtle, would be easy to turn evil, and blades isn't the only thing that Killer has.

"Very good Turtle. Now, just sign this blank piece of paper." Killer said handing over a blank piece of paper. Raphael looked at it. He didn't know what was so important about signing a blank sheet of paper, but he figured it out fast.

"What is this?" He asked.

"It's just your contract to work with me. If you don't sign it, to the government you go." Raphael signed it, and watched as a full page of words appeared on it. He went to read it, but the paper went up in falms and vanished.

"Where did it go?!" Raphael asked looking around.

"The same place you're going." Next thing I knew Killer and Raphael went up in falms and vanished.

"Where did they go?" I asked. Terror stepped out of the crowed of kids. Terror is Killer's first man. He works right under Killer, and he's a pain in the butt.

"They went to hell, where else." Terror said as he smiled at Mekoshan and I. "I believe that Turtles is going to be placed higher than you two, if he took him right to hell." Terror was going to tease us, and I didn't feel like being teased by him. I got up and walked back into the cargo room. Leonardo was sitting down with Donatello, leaning on some boxes. I walked over and jumped into the cab of the truck and lyed down.
