Ok So if you would like to read the story before this one (this is a sequel episode) the link is here: s/11540744/1/Cali-A-different-type-of-Mutant. It's called Cali- A different Type of Mutant. This story is basically what happens next. Just to be perfectly clear: I am an Apriltello shipper, but I respect the need for Capril. I like the pairing of Donnicali (Calitello?), but I'm starting to like Tigercali just as much, if not more. It brings a new dimension to my favorite villain. Enjoy! :) This first chapter is just the opening and is a little confusing. I have a prequel to the original Cali story which explains a lot of the unanswered questions you may have after reading this. I'm currently working on this one and that one- but with two kids, being a full-time student, and working- it's not as easy as you'd think! :) Here goes nothing!
This scene opens up in Shredder's lair. Just for a little backstory, Karai has agreed to work for Shredder because he promised her a special type of retro mutagen that would change her completely back to her human self. She hates Shredder and refuses to hurt the turtles, but will do anything to help the process of the retro mutagen. This happened about two episodes ago. Enjoy!
Characters present: Shredder, Karai, and Tiger Claw
Shredder: BAXTER!
Baxter Stockman enters.
Baxter: Yeeeesssss Maaaasster?
Shredder: Have you created the retro mutagen needed for Karai?
Baxter: I sssstillll need more muuutagen to compleeete the processsss.
Shredder: Tiger Claw!
Tiger Claw walks up and hands the stolen mutagen to Baxter.
Baxter: Eeeeexxceelent.
Shredder: How long until you have completed the retro mutagen?
Baxter: Iiiii'mmmm not ssssuure Maaaasster. I willll lllleeet yoouuuu know as soooon as I'm dooone.
Baxter turns to leave only for Karai to flip in his way to stop him. She grabs him and threatens him.
Karai: You better tell me the moment you have it or I'll make sure my venom finds you quickly and kills you slowly.
Shredder stands up.
Shredder: That's enough Karai. I made a promise to you, my daughter, and I will uphold it.
Karai: You are not my father.
Tiger Claw: Show your master some respect.
Tiger Claw gets ready to attack Karai and Karai does the same.
Shredder: No! That's enough. Karai. Do not rethink your bargain with me. It would be unwise for you. Remember that I am your only hope for returning to yourself.
Tiger Claw relaxes and Karai looks away defeated and unhappy, but mostly angry at her current situation.
Shredder: In the meantime, the Kranng should be out looking for us for betraying them to steal that Mutagen. I need everyone on the lookout. Tiger Claw, go with Karai and make sure she upholds her end of the deal.
All exit leaving Shredder alone. As they exit, Tiger Claw sees a roach and without thinking steps on it and continues on. Shredder closes his eyes.
Shredder: Karai, you will be my daughter again. In time, you will learn that you belong here with me.
