Told by The Shredder
Part 2
The room grew dark... as my life seemed to fade. I looked up to see the four Turtles standing around me. Each of them had weapons in hand. But how, Michaelangelo was taken away and he's in a wheel chair. Raphael went to hell with Killer. How were they back? How is Michaelangelo standing.
"You're going down dude!" Michaelangelo said with a smile on his face.
"Yea, you think you won, HAH! We know what we're doing!" Raphael said with his sais right at my throat.
"Time for pay back! You'll pay for what you did to Hamto and Shen. You'll pay for what you did to Master Splinter's ear! You'll pay for hunting us!" Leonardo said, standing behind Raphael.
"This time, you're not getting away!" Donatello added. I got up, I'm still in the truck, so I leaned over and rolled out the passanger door. The truck was gone, now I was on a island with only the Turtles standing in front of me.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?"
"I'll tell you what Shredder. We're getting you back! You can't work with us and think you'll live! If we're here you're going to die." Leonardo said. Just than everything faded as I started to move back and forth. I opened my eyes, I was dreaming. I must of have dozed off in the cab of the truck. I sat up to see we're landing. I got out of the cab. Leonardo and Donatello were looking at the guard near the door, they didn't look happy. I knew I wasn't happy and I hope this dream wasn't some kind of sign to get rid of them now.
Once the plane was landed the cargo door opened up. Killer walked aboard with Raphael by his side. Raphael walked into the plan, and towards his brothers. Leonardo got up and ran over to him, but only to see a cold stare from Raph's eyes. Leonardo came to a stop, not touching him, just looking at his eyes.
"Raph?" Leonardo said, "Are you ok?"
"Yea Leo, I'm fine. Better than I've ever felt before." Raphael grabbed a box off of the plan, I went to go near but Killer held me back. "Come on Leo, help me load this stuff into that truck over there." Leonardo looked in shock! Raphael was never one to do what he's told, without giving a fight. Why would have be so willing to do this without being told to.
"Raph? What do you mean help you? You're just going to help this creep?" Leonardo said, he sounded a bit upset. I liked that.
"Yea Leo, I'm just going to help him. DON'T CALL HIM A CREEP! He's here to help us!" Raphael said as he gave Leonardo a cold dead stare. It was as if it wasn't the same Turtle that we knew. I know that Turtle, he would bite my head off before he worked for Killer or me.
"Raph what are you talking about? He caught us! He's forceing us to work for him! He has taken Michaelangelo away! AND YOU'RE STANDING UP FOR HIM!" Leonardo walked towards Raphael, the anger started to show in his eyes. Killer let out a smile. Donatello ran to Leonardo and grabbed him back.
"Leo, calm down we don't need you with new blads." Donatello said, as he looked at Raphael. Leonardo just looked down and turned around. He knew Donatello was right. I looked up at Raphael's eyes he did seem out of place on my side. I never thought I would see that, a Turtle who seem to believe in being Evil. Raphael carried the box down to the van, on his way back he walked by me, bumping into me. I turned and brought my blades out at him, he just looked at me.
"Give me a Break ShredHead! You're nothing but dirt! Now put those stupid blades away!" I can't believe this! He talked back to me as if he is still good! I'm going to teach him! I went to go at him and Killer grabbed me back.
"Don't try anything SHREDDER! That Turtle has say over you. Oh, and by the way you're being moved up in the world. Since we got the Turtles, you're going after The Shapers." Killer turned and walks over to a car that was there to pick him up. He had his own air port built to take care of W work. So no one knew that this was a crime plane that just flew in with a bunch of stolen United States money. Than it hit me!
HE JUST TOSSED ME ONTO THE CASE OF THE SHAPERS! This wasn't good at all! It was the biggest case going on with the W's. I never wanted this case for that the Shapers are not easy to beat. I have seen others try and fail.
"Why? I would rather stay with the small stuff?" I asked, hoping to not move up. But I know Killer.
"Because Shredder, the Turtles are stopped now from fighting us, so we can use you in better places. You will be working side by side with Raphael. He will teach you a thing or two." This was my worst nightmare. I was going to be working with that TURTLE! The one I would fight the most, because of his hot headed times of going out to find trouble!
"But I'm only human, I can't stop those Shapers! Give the job to the Turtles! They can find away to stop them!" At this time I just wanted out of the W at all cause. I mean, this wasn't getting even with the Turtles! This wasn't making them see how mad I am about Naga dieing! Those Turtles should never be placed higher than me! Their master's master killed my BROTHER! I want them to PAY! Leonardo and Donatello were watching this, they too didn't look happy. I walked over towards them. Leonardo just looked at me, as Donatello stepped forward.
"What do you want metal mouth?" Donatello ask, as I could tell he was very mad about what was going on. Yet he usually is the quiet one of the bunch. Besides that time he went mad and started beating me, Bebop and Rocksteady up, that was a nightmare.
"I want you dead, but that doesn't seem to be happening now does it!" Donatello smirked as if that was funny to him. "You know what I want! I don't want to work with you! And I'm not liking that your brother was placed higher than me!" That's when I finally saw the Turtle was listening to me, he got a worried look in his eyes as he looked at me.
"Do you have a plan to change this Shredder? And don't you dare as kill him, or we'll send your butt flying so far you'll wish you never thought of it!" Donatello said, Leonardo looked at him, than up at me. I could tell this wasn't going to be easy.
"Give me sometime! I'll get you guys out of the W's! But after you're out, we're back at going after each other for death! GOT IT?!" Donatello and Leonardo smiled and nodded. I walked off to watch the mad Turtle, loading the truck. I didn't like it that he was in charge of me. I walked up to Killer. "What did you do to him?"
"I did nothing to him. We just talked. Seems that he doesn't like living in a human world hiding all the time. He don't like having to train to fight evil, to only stay in the shadows. He wants a life. I gave him a promise of what he wanted. Even safty for his brothers and him once the Shapers are caught." A smile went on Killer's face. "And a better home, than the sewers."
"I know the Turtles! They just don't give in for evil like that! I tried to get them years ago and they wouldn't work for me!" This was getting me mad, Raphael must have been up to something to give in that easy.
"That's because you don't know how to work with a Turtle. I told him, he's a Ninja, Ninjas are hired killers." Killer took me over to the truck and sat down in the driver seat as I stood next to the door. "I would hire him to take three Shapers out, caught one and bring the one to me. As pay, I would leave Earth, as promised in your deal as well. And I'll make it so the Turtles can walk the streets without having to hide or be scared."
"How can you full fill that last part? Humans fear what they don't know, trust me when I found out they were real mutants I wasn't to thrilled."
"Easy Shredder... though I don't trust you enough to give my plan away." Killer looked over towards Raphael. "RAPH! You ride in front with me. Your brothers will ride in back. Shredder, you take the next ride." This is a shame to my name. To be brought in behind those freaks.
I got in my ride... and leaned back to see Mokeshan next to me. This was even more of a downer. I don't care for Mokeshan to much, and now that it hits me. I'm going to be working with her more! She's on the Shaper case as it is too! Things are just getting worse and worse for me!.
"Hi tin grin. I heard you were moving in with me on the case. Sounds like we're going to get to know each other." Mokeshan said with a grin. This didn't make me happy at all. I looked out the car window, to ignore her. "I also hear the Turtles are on the case with us."
"SHUT UP!" I had to blow up at her.. I didn't want to hear her talking all the way back to the base. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THOSE TURTLES FOR ONE DAY!"
"Sorry Shredder, didn't mean to bust your bobble. Besides, you'll have to face up to it sooner or later." Mokeshan smiled than picked up a magazine from the seat. We didn't talk much as we got to our base.
Once we got to the base, Mokeshan walked in... I wanted sometime to myself, so I walked away from the place, than heard a voice behind me.
"Looks like we're stuck together again." It was Leonardo, and he sounded just as depressed as he was when he was here.
"Yea, seems like it! Though it won't be for long! I will kill you, and your brothers... than you'll be out of my hair!" I said, knowing I really did want to kill them, but if I did, Killer would never let me go. Than I remembered... when they had Leonardo, they were going to place him above me... above me as of all people. No, it can't be.... are they going to put a Turtle above me again. I need a drink.
"Shredder, give it up.. I know just as much as you do, that you're stuck working with us." Leonardo said, as he leaned against the building. "Though, I might be able to help you Shredder, if you help us."
"How can you help me?"
"Shredder, I've been freed from this before... remember. I know Blades, Mokeshan, and you all want free... I know how it can be done. Please, work with us on this one. And stop fighting us."
"And what is your price for my help?" I know there has to be a catch.
"My price is, that once we're free... you leave my brothers and I alone." That was to big of a price for me, I'll rather stay with the W's.
"OH! Let you off for what happened to my brother?! Let those who stand for Yoshi live! I think not! You go on and free yourselves.... that would give Killer a reason for me to kill you." I turned and walked away, it was pointless for the Turtle to understand how much I miss Nagi. Nagi was the best brother a kid could have, and he was murdered! I revenge his death, so I have his rat's kids after me... oh man, I hate life!
I went in... to the dinning room, and bumped into Terror, who didn't seem to happy either. I didn't want to talk with him, he's caused me more than enough problems.. so I just went to go around him.
"Hi Shredder. What's you doing?"
"What does it look like I'm doing?" I reached over and grabbed a can of beer. "I'm getting a drink. What's it to you?"
"Nothing... just wanted to talk."
"What the Hell do you want to talk to me about?" I said, as I sat down at a table, I was showing that I didn't want to talk, but he just doesn't take any hints.
"I don't like how close my dad is with, um that Turtle that just came in. The one they call Raphael... at least I know the media calls him that... don't know if that's his real name. I know Leonardo is Leo's real name."
"Yes, they all used their real names for those Damn comics that gave me a bad name! Another reason for me to kill those DAMN Turtles!"
"Oh sure, look at us because of your bad name... heh... we were not the ones to make it so you went evil... you did that on your own." I looked up to see Donatello, sitting just across the room from us, he was quiet. "Us Turtles don't go out of our way to fight you anymore Shredder, so just give us a rest."
"Oh shut up, you stupid Shellback." I don't know what to really say, he caught me off guard. "You're words should not be listened too, you're only good for being made into soup, and your shell being used as an ash tray." I removed my mask, and set it on the table.. and took a drink out my beer, wanting to forget that the Turtle was in the same room as me.
"That sounded real smart Shredder. Maybe everyone should say no one should listen to you, and that you're only good as bear food." Donatello got up and walked towards me. I turned my head, trying not to look at him.
"Just leave me the Hell alone Shellback!"
"Sorry ShredHead, Leo said that we should talk to you. He must have gottan to know you while staying here. He told me, how you would come and get a drink, and told me where to go, to find this lunch room." I can't believe Leo would know me that well. I didn't talk to him to much when he was here, only when I needed to. And I didn't see him around me all to much either.
I got up, grabbing my mask, and my beer. I don't want to take this from a Turtle... and walked out of the room. Terror followed, I can tell he doesn't feel like he was done talking to me. Then I looked up to see Leonardo standing in front of me in the hall... I feel as if I have no where to run to be alone.
"Why the Hell, can't you all just leave me alone?!"
"Hey don't look at me... I just want to talk to you, I don't know why the Turtles are here." Terror said. "I know about some stuff, and I really want to stop it before it happens.. but I don't need these Turtles here listening in, either."
"LOOK! I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU TERROR AND WHAT EVER IT IS YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME ABOUT! AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU TURTLES AND YOU'RE NOT GETTING MY HELP! SO LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE! BEFORE I KICK RIGHT THROUGH THOSE SHELLS OF YOURS, RIGHT TO YOUR ASS! SO GET AWAY FROM ME!" I think I finally made my point clear... as the Turtles retreated from the room... but Terror didn't.
"Sorry Shredder, but I am your boss, you don't tell me what to do." I can't take hearing Terror say that, so I turned around as my blades came out, and hit Terror right in the W sign on his belt.. and I watched him fall to the ground, he let out a cry on the way down, but I didn't care. Seeing Terror down, made me feel good as I walked off.
ONE WEEK LATER
The following week, I have been staying to myself... working out in the morning, eatting in my room... and not talking to anyone. I have noticed the Turtles watching me from a far, but not coming up to talk to me. I also have noticed that Raphael is not with his other brothers. Terror hasn't talked to me since I punched him, and I haven't seen him around either. Rumor is that when I punched him with my blades that I hit his weak spot, and that he's near death. If that is true, well good for me. Someone needed to teach Terror how to shut up.
Now only if I could get rid of those Turtles so easy. I know it's going to come to me though, once Terror is back... I'll be on the ground for hurting him so bad. For sure now, I won't be in a high rank. Now that I think of it, should I really care where I am... as long as I'm stuck here... I'm not going anywhere.
"Master Shredder." A voice of a W kid said, as he walked into the room, removing his mask from his face. "Lord Killer has sent for you. Something about Terror." I stood up, knowing I had to go. If Terror has given my name, I knew I was walking into a big loop of trouble.
"Get out of my sight... you little spot of dirt!" I said as the kid stepped out of my way. Walking down this hall, and all I can feel is fear... fear of never being able to walk again. But I won't dare show that I have fear in me. I see those two Turtles, watching me... as I walked passed them... I see W kids looking up as I turn into the next hall. To show fear would let them know, that I do care what happens to me. I feel a cold shiver go down my back, I want to stop and swallow and just turn around. Sometimes it hurts to be so cold.
My fears ate at me... telling me how Killer was going to just drop me in pain, forever. I'll never see light, I will never die, I will never talk, never eat, never date, never have another can of beer. All will be taken from me in seconds... because I fought back. Now, standing at the door... the door to the room, that Killer is waiting inside of, for me to come in. He's going to want me to ammit to stabbing Terror... he's going to want to see me go down for that.
My hand went on the knob... it's shaky a bit. I can feel some sweat going down the inside of my mask. Killer will never let me live this one down. I turned the door knob and looked up to see Killer standing there... his eyes glowing Red and Raphael standing by his side.
"Come in Shredder, we have to talk." Killer said, as I walked in.
