The Shredder vs. The Shapers


Told by The Shredder

Part 5

Getting out of bed, I didn't waste much time. I can feel the pain from the fight with Raphael, just sweep through my body. I'm never going to drink that much again! If anything bad was going to happen to any of us for what happened to Terror, I will make sure that it's those turtles that Killer points the figure at.

I got out of the room, and headed down the hall, towards where they were keeping Terror. If anyone catches me down there, I will tell them I'm looking for some kind of proof that would lead me to who ever hit him. I got to the room, and looked in. Terror is on a bed, his eyes are open, so he is awake. The rumors are true. Standing next to the bed is Mekoshan, as she is talking with Terror, I can't hear what they are saying... What if he already told, that I hit him? What is Killer going to do to me? This is all those Turtles faults!!! If they never got into my life, I wouldn't have been so mad to hit Terror in the hall way! I can't wait much longer, walking into the room, ready for my head to be cut from my shoulders... Mekoshan just looked towards me.

"Well look who decided to drop you a visit Terror." She said, I just glared at her. Terror didn't look to good up close, I didn't know hitting him in his weak spot really took that much out of him, but he looked really sick.

"Hey ShredHead, dad tells me you're on the case to find who did this to me." Terror said in a weak voice. I could hear the pain coming from his voice, it felt good to know I did that to him. That Shaper is as weak as a human, if you learn how to handle him. And what is this, he doesn't remember me hitting him, the Turtles were as good as dead with this one! I'm going to frame them good. Wonder what size of a frame I should buy.

"Don't worry Terror, I think I know who did this to you, what do you last remember it might help me." This is going over better than I ever hoped for. He's going to play right into my trap to have those Turtles destoried!

"I remember, you were talking to Donatello... in the lunch room.. then... um... got up and walked out... I followed... Leonardo was in the hall... then everything is a blank." Mekoshan just looked at me, as if she's not going to let me point the figure at Leonardo, but who can stop me. And who here besides the Turtles can say that didn't happen!

"I left you in the hall with Leonardo, I wanted to be left alone, and Leo wanted to talk with you. Maybe... hmmm just maybe, well those Turtles are friends with the Good Shapers, maybe the Shapers told them how to, hurt you, and Leo wanted to test it out." Mekoshan gave me an evil glare, I just smiled back at her...

"You're right... I remember Leonardo there, and he is the one who would try the hardest at finding away out of this mess.... Good job Shredder, tell my dad it was Leonardo." Terror closed his eyes as his body was crying for more rest when he said those words.

"I don't believe it was Leonardo! He's not that dumb!" Mekoshan spoke up. I knew she was going to be trouble.

"Oh, you're going to back up the Turtle? Well have him, come up with where he was and witnesses otherwise, your Turtle is our man!" I laughed to myself and I walked out of the room. With Leonardo out of the way, the others won't be far behind.

5am Training Room.

I am wide awake hitting on the bags, letting the pain from yesterday's fight feed my anger for those Turtles. Each Turtle is going to pay, one by one, starting with Leonardo. He is known to come here early in the morning for his training to try and advoid meeting up with the rest of the W's that train. So I await him to come.

"You're up early." I heard a voice as I turned to face Leonardo.

"I've been waiting for you." Oh to tell him, his life is going to be ending soon would be so fun to do.. but first to have some other fun. "Let's work out together, spare, the two of us, me and you, no one else around. What do you say? Or are you too Chicken?"

"I don't know what you're up to Shredder, and I'm not in the mood to fight you right now."

"Oh, the Turtle's a scared of me... poor Shellback what are you going to do, for I'm going to kill you." I could see Leonardo just look away, trying to hide his anger, he knew those blades could grow back and that's what I wanted.

"Give it a rest Shredder." Leonardo walked over to a side of the training center with mirrors and started to go through some katas. "You've been telling us that for years, you'll never get passed our shells."

"Than prove it Turtle! Fight me! Show me that I can't win! Or you're a coward! Because you know I can win you!" Now Leonardo is looking mad, he looked at me... as he's trying to control his temper. "If you were as good as you talk, you wouldn't be here right now! You would have been able to save yourself and your brothers! But you are a FAILURE! You let your brothers down, you were not there when your Master needed you the most. Your Honor died with him!"

"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT THE HELL UP SHREDDER!" Leonardo walked towards me, I could see anger in his eyes, but I needed more anger, I needed him to let those blades grow... for than there would even be more of a reason he would have hurt Terror. "You wouldn't even know what Honor is! Because you have NO HONOR!"

"I have more Honor than you Turtle, for I have avenged my brother's death. You have yet to avenge that of your Master's death." Leonardo got more anger in his face, I knew he took his Honor big time, but I didn't know I would get this much anger just by trashing him like this. "Maybe you've been right, it's time for us to join forces..." I brought my hand out to the Turtle to shack his hand. "We have a lot in common, both of us has ppl we care about, murdered in cold blood." Without another word Leonardo backed up, and turned to walk out of the room.

The Turtle is falling for it, his anger is going to eat up at him and he will have the blades, once he has the blades I could point that out to Killer, telling him that the Turtle could have used his blades that we thought he didn't have back yet to take out Terror, Leonardo's name is as good as trashed when I get done. And to tell him we have a lot in common, man this Turtle is going to get so mad at me, he will have those blades back in a few days.

8am. The Lunch Room.

"Where was Leonardo, at the time Terror was hit?"

"I don't know Shredder, and I still don't believe he did this. So stop pushing it on his head. He couldn't have done this... he wouldn't have had time to grab out his sword to cut him. So explain how Leonardo was able to hurt him as bad as he was hurt."

"I'm working on that Mekoshan, I'm going to watch the Turtle and find out all I can, but I swear there was no one else in the hall when I left him with Terror. He had to be the one to do it." The lunch room is crowed right now, with a ton of W workers getting their breakfast, Mekoshan decided to pester me about trying to say Leonardo hurt Terror.. I just want her off my back.

"Shredder, I'm watching you, and if you even dare do one thing wrong, I'm going to make it so you pay big time." Mekoshan said as she stood up, just than Blades walked up behind her with Donatello by his side.

"Hey guys what's up?" Blades asked, as he sat down, Donatello backed up a little seeing me there.

"Nothing, I was just on my way..." I got up and turned to walk away, I don't want any of those Turtles next to me right now. "I've got some work to do, see ya later Blades." Walking away, I saw Donatello just staring at me, he knew I am up to something... Damn! Knowing Mokeshan, she'll tell Donatello everything!

10 am. Training Room.

I've returned to my work out... working out on the begs. Waiting for Leonardo to walk in, but to my surprise, Raphael enters instead.

"Raphael, what an honor to have Killer's right hand butt licker to join me, for an morning working out." I said, as I stopped stareing right at him.

"Shut up ShredHead, I'm here to talk with ya."

"Oh... bummer and I thought we could get to know each other better." Damn, I don't need him near me, he'll fight as soon as he hears that Leo is getting the balme for what happened.

"Yeah, right ShredHead. You just want to find each of our weak spots to make us Turtles drop like flys. Just let me warn ya, you won't be finding my weak spot anytime soon." The change in his voice put a shiver down my back... I can just feel it, as if he is about to stab one of his sais up my throat, and yet he's still standing near the doorway.

"Nice to know we're getting along so well." Raphael just gave me a glare of death.

"Look DAMNIT! I have to work with you! I don't want to be near your stinkin' ass! But I have to, thanks to Killer. We have to go check on the young Shaper you caught, Pizza... and than go out to meet up with his stupid brother, Mr. Depressed! So shut up, and let's get this junk over with!" Damn Turtle is talking to me, the way I usually would talk to him. This just doesn't seem right.

"Fine... fine... just chill out already, sounds like your head is about to blow up." This Turtles is out to do me in, I know it... and with his temper and what ever Killer did to him, I'm going to have a hard fight. "Besides Shell Back, you're playing the wrong role today."

"JUST SHUT UP SHREDDER!"

10:45 am. The Shaper's cage.

We walked in together... Raphael just a few steps behind me. The Shaper was lying on the bottom of his cage, pain in his eyes yet he was awake. Just seeing him, makes me feel GREAT! I brought two Shapers down this hard! Wow! All these years I didn't know how to hurt a Shaper and now look at me... I'm at the top of the world... I can defeat these horriable creatures!

"Wh....wh...who's there?" The small voice came from the Shaper, before he could even look up at me.

"You don't want to know." I said walking over the frail body. Raphael stopped looking down towards the body, as if he had no feelings for one who he once was friends with. The only thing I can see in his face is anger. It's different to see a Turtle, like this. I know they're dangerous when they don't care about hurting someone, like the time Donatello went off on me, in that weird costume, I think he called himself the Dark Turtle.

"Oh man, it's tin grin..." The Shaper looked over towards me, than over towards Raphael. "Raph?"

"Look at the mess you got your stupid butt into."

"Shut up Raph.... an...and.....h...e..l...p me out." A smile went onto Raphael's face, as Pizza noticed that Raphael wasn't here to help.

"Help? Help your sorry looking face? You got yourself into this mess, you get yourself out." Raphael said as he kicked Pizza.

"ARGH! W...w...what's... up with y..y..you Raph?" Pizza said, as he tried to sit up.

"None of your busness Shaper! Now Raphael, we got some Shapers to go catch." I said, as I turned to walk out of here.

"Yea, time to crush some Shapers." Raphael turned and walked away, I got to the door and looked towards the Shaper on the ground... there was a confused look on his face, it felt Great to see the Shapers down and lost. Time to round up some more.
