Told by The Shredder
Part 4
4:14pm Training room.
I got to the training room, but I didn't go in... I've been standing here for about 10 minutes now, watching Blades and Raphael fight. Killer is standing near the door, back towards me. I don't want to go in, and I don't want him to know I am there. Though I know if I don't talk to him, I'm in trouble.
"Come in anytime Shredder... just don't stand around." Killer said without even looking towards me. "You're not known for being the shy kind of person Shredder." That got me to come in, he's not yelling at me yet.
"I don't feel like working today Killer. I have a headache and I'm sick and tired of being told what to do!" Don't know if I should have just said that. Killer is going to have my neck for this when he's done.
"Do I care how you're feeling Shredder?" I ignored that comment and looked towards Raphael and Blades fighting, Raphael was kicking the shit out of Blades. It looks as if Blades could drop dead any minute. Blood can be seen going down his face on the other side of his mask, I can see the cut marks from Raphael's sais in Blades arms and legs. He's lucky the Turtle didn't get his gut. "Shredder, I want you to join the work out. You get to fight the winner. Then I want you to come to my office. I have some stuff I want to talk to you about."
"Yes Sir." Damn! He's going to have me fight today! My focus is totally off today. I still have this stupid headache and if I try to focus on something like a fight I'm going to fail. This is really going to make me look bad near the Turtle! "Though I can't do my best today Sir. This headache is getting the best of me."
"I don't give a care Shredder. Just be ready to train." Killer turned and looked at me. Than walked to the other side of the room and sat down to watch the fights. He wanted to see this Turtle beat my face into the ground.
Looking back toward the fight, I see Blades is only going to take one more hit. Once that hit comes, I'm up. I'll be fighting this Turtle, with no focus on my side... it will just my body and sword. I hope I can take the Turtle out with just that. It will be my chance... to revenge my brother with one of the freaks. I'll Kill the Turtle when I get the chance.
As the hook kick went across Blade's face, he started to go down, bad enough as is the Turtle threw a round house kick into Blade's gut. He's down now, body not moving and blood going onto the ground from under his mask. Raphael just stood there... with only few scartches.
Donatello and Leonardo walked into the room, followed by Mekoshan. They went and sat down along the side of the training room, and started to get ready as if they were going to train when I'm done with Raphael. Raphael looked towards me, as some W kids, pulled Blades off of the floor and out of the room.
"Ready Shredder?" He asked holding his bloody sais. I noded, not wanting to say a word, just trying to get out of this mess. We faced each other... he bowed... I didn't. We went into a fighting stance, I can feel the sweat going down my face. My cloths were already wet from the sweat.
"Fight!" Killer called out, before I could move I felt one of those sais go right through my uper right shoulder... and a fist go right to my face... lucky for me I have my mask, or I would have a broken nose. The sting of the sai, took my mind off of the fight, like hell. I turned back towards the Turtle, as I pulled his sai out of my arm... I lunged at him... he was able to get out of the way, but he didn't just get out of the way, a round house kick went right into my gut... I could feel the warm blood going down my shoulder, and things started to go blury.
"Stupid Turtle! I'll get you!" I know that saying something like that, is dumb, but I can't just take this beating and fall, or should I? I can't fight the Turtles like this. My right arm, can't move, my left arm is holding the Turtle's sai, and my sight it totally off. But it would be dishonor to me, to be beaten by a Turtle again.
"Let me know when that time comes Shredder, because I'm waiting!" Raphael said, as he did a sweep kick knocking his sai from my hand, and followed it up with a hook kick to my head... I was hurting... the pain was only eatting at me more, as I stood there. I pulled my sword, and brought it towards the green blur, that I knew was the Turtle.... I knew he was going to move... but couldn't tell where... as the sword swung, I felt it hit him... "Grrr big mistake Shredder!"
"Wrong Shell Back! The only one who made a mistake here is you, for showing your face for this fight." I pulled my sword back, I felt the wound was deep, but from my sight, I couldn't tell where I cut him. Just than he was out of my sight... I couldn't see where the blur went... as I tried to look around, I felt something cold and hard go down on my neck, it was the side of his sai. I could feel my skin just rip a bit, as I fell to my knees... This Turtle had me, no matter how hard I wanted to win... I wasn't in any shape to fight him.
I turned my head, looking up towards the green blur over me... I felt the cold metal poke of the sai touch my throat... as it started to cut me. I could feel blood drip down my neck, though I couldn't stand up or pull back, the pain from my arm was to much, and now my neck... if I tried to move my head back, I would feel where he hit me from behind, and if I move forwards, I would go right into his sai.
I squited my eyes to look at the sai, as the memory of Nagi came to mind. Nagi, it wasn't your fault you died... now it looks like I may fall from the same clan that took you down... our blood enemies. I am sorry I have failed you my brother. Looking up, I could now see the cold stone eyes of the Turtle... that of which must have been what my brother last saw from Hamto Yoshi! I couldn't let this be my faite! I can't let Yoshi's Clan destory me!
I brought my sword, again, using my left hand, bringing it right into the blur of green, right through the middle, before the Turtle could move.... he didn't see that coming, I can tell as the blur stubbled away from me... the pain in me, made it so I can't get up and finish him off, I can feel my right shoulder stinging, and my neck as if I can't move it... all the pain in my body, is eatting me up.
"You're going to pay for that move Shredder!" Raphael said, though I couldn't tell where he was, the sound of his voice only echoed around me, as my sight was almost gone... things were going dark. My body didn't want to fight anymore, but I can't let Yoshi's can destory me. I brought my sword back up in my hand, and tried to standing, feeling the pain shot down my neck, I got to my feet. "Think you can still handle a Turtle, Shredder?!"
"I can take all four of you green freaks out in my sleep!" Just than a side kick went to my face, bending my mask inwards towards me, I could feel it hit my nose, my neck sent another wav of pain through, as it went backwards, I can no longer stand, my knees gave away, I'm going down.... it's getting dark....
8:34pm, Shredder's room.
As my eyes opened, it was still dark around me. The confort of my bed, eased my fears of still being in the ring with the Turtle. My head is banging, I shouldn't have drank so much last night.
"How many times is it that us Turtles have won you now Shredder?" A voice came from around the room... I heard it echo in my head, I wanted to get the voice out of my head, but I knew it wasn't there... one of those Turtles are in my room.
"Shut up! I'm not in the mood to mess with you Shell Backs! Right now!!" I said, as I pulled the covers up over my face, feeling my mask still on.
"Shredder, this is going to keep going on like this. You know Killer will keep having you fight to prove your worth to them, and what rank you are here, he likes seeing us in pain. And right now he's just got three Turtles to working for him. You know I've beat you before in battle, so will Donatello. You have to face up to this, and work with us for a change."
"Look Turtle, you can rot in Hell for all I care! Your body and soul! I'll get free one of these days, because they won't need me any more. But they want you freaks! You belong to them! You're Killer's pet now. I am but one of many humans that will be let go when all of the Shapers are caught... so I don't have to work with you!" Come on, leave me alone Turtle... I don't want to mess with you right now, I'm in to much pain. You know it too, you turtles would hit me when I'm weak and down, you just don't want me back on my feet so I can crush you four! I would have won the fight with them... only if I wasn't with that hang over.
"What ever Shredder, once you realize the fact of this battle let me know, because believe it or not, we're willing to work with you." I heard the Turtle leave, as my door shut. I need rest, closing my eyes I went to sleep.
A light shinned on my face, I was wearing nothing, but a pair of shorts. Killer is in front of me, with Terror standing by his side. Terror is pointing his figure at me.
"He's the one dad! He's the one that hurt me!"
"hredder, out of everyone here, you have betrayed us! You have hurt Terror, there fore your death is coming, and you'll be our worker forever, you'll live in Hell!"
"NO!! I didn't mean to, really I didn't!!!" Bringing my hands up and backing away, I could feel the ground below me, it was on fire, my feet were burning.. it was like walking on hot coals. "It was a mistake, I was just feeled with anger! The blades did this, not me!! Please... I caught you that Shapers!!"
"You know to much about us now Shredder, sorry but you're dead... your life is over! And I'll be the one to make sure it's finshed off!!! Welcome to Hell, where you're going to be totured for the rest of your life till you're dead and you'll work for us and be totured at the same time, FOREVER!" Killer started to walk towards me, I could feel my spin shake, as the fear grew bigger. Killer made a leash and collar appear in his hands and snapped them onto me... Trying to get them off, they wont come off... NO! This can't be! I'm not the pet the turtles are!!! I'm human... so I made a mistake... it won't happen again... I have to get this off of me.. I can't spend the rest of my life in Hell! I just can't!
"Please Killer... I won't do it again... " I can feel myself begging, I'm not usually a begger... but I can't let this happen to me, only fear controls me now... fear of Killer trying to take me in as his pet, his toy to toture when ever he finds it fun. I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANY LONGER! IT'S TIME TO DO SOMETHING! "Killer! I won't hurt him again."
"And what tone is this you're talking to me with?!" He tuged on the leash hard, I can't take this... I really can't... this was my chance. I kicked him right in the Yin Yang on his belt, watching him fall, I grabbed a sword and stuck it right through his Yin Yang... Killer's eyes glew red as he floated back up, the sword melted, my chance of freedom was blown... I can't beat this demon... but he has beaten me.
3:27am Shredder's room.
I sat up fast, as the sweat went down my face... I felt the mask still on me.. there is no leash, it was all a dream. Killer is going to find out that I was the one to hurt Terror, than I'll be doomed. I have to kill Terror before, Killer finds out.
