Shellshock
This an experiment plots. I want you guys to read and see if it is interesting enough to continue. I'll probably write two chapters and let you readers decided if I should continue or not. I'm going out of my comfort zone here.
Disclaimer: I do not own TMNT Story is mix between the 2k14 and 1990.
Summary: Our brave hero's weren't the only ones to be mutated into giant warriors. Since the fire, Eric Sacks continue Project Renaissance as he a Shredder tried a final round on human trials. However the Mutagen did more than cure the virus, but created a hybrid. Now the turtles and Splinter have to help Galizia adapt to this new life, if not the art of the ninja.
Chapter 1: Human Trials
Third Person POV
Eric Sacks had waited over a decade to reach human trials.
He stared at the human test subject in a cylinder flouting in water. The test subject was the next step on the mutagen research. A lot of work took place in finding the suitable guinea pig from fair health, no record, practically a nobody. Sacks knew a nobody is perfect, a street urchin thriving on the streets. In fact, he didn't care if the subject was running away from the system, an addict, or simply a prostitute. Although from his coworkers reported it took a month to detox the body and improve the immune system before injecting the poison into individual veins. As the human analog remained unconscious, trapped in a chemical induce coma. Oxygen masked pressed against the individual face, tubes attached to primary veins, and wires attach to concentrated on the subjects heart rate.
However as he stood in his lab a bit hesitant. Yes the Foot Soldiers picked out the perfect test subject, except when he saw the person his mind reconsider switching people. The test subject was a teenage girl, probably fifteen years old. And yet she had the perfect blood type. Master Shredder approved the girl like some animal without second thought.
The canister they had is the last of the mutagen. During the fire that Dr. O'Neil set, Sacks managed to save one of the previous test subjects. Under private funding he continues the research until the test subject is close to expire then transfer the serum into another subject: from turtle, to lizard, and so forth until now, except the serum is not complete. Since the original documents were burned away, Sacks had to use the notes he had and start from scratch. Every test subject vitals were different, never the same result as the other turtles and rat from Project Renaissance. All reptiles showed an increase of size, heart rate, and interesting character traits. But no enhance strength let alone only the female subjects survive compare to the male. Sacks assumed it's because the first analog was female that the genetic on double X gene.
So the human subject must be a female.
Master Shredder stood in the shadows watching the experiment commence. Ten years have been lost to a point his patience were wearing thin. Even though the Foot Clan has succeeded in controlling New York City by violence and fear, there wasn't enough funding?
"Test subject vitals appeared low since injection of the virus. Once the serum is in her system we shall expect full recovery, if not enhance abilities." Sacks said.
Shredder nodded having his arms crossed as he watched his pupil put the canister of the last mutagen into the machine. With a final check on vitals, Sacks pressed the injection button syncing the serum into the girl's veins. The green mutagen course into the tubes down to the subject's veins. At first nothing happen as the heart rate remained low at 28 beats per minutes. Shredder glowered deeply in seeing no changes in the girl's veins. As the sicken veins pulse harshly under pale skin. Sacks muttered some encouragement, praying this experiment to work. The charades has capture the peoples trust in security against the Foot Clan, but the temptation to by his in fascination towards the legend. He was particularly enthralled by the story of an evil warlord who had poisoned the town's water supply was defeated thanks to a powerful alchemist.
And then it happens. The monitors were going insane of sudden increase in heart rate, intake of oxygen, and other vitals. Meanwhile the girl shook violently, tossing and turning in the water. Her body going into shock for the mutagen cured the virus in her system. However she felt the serum burn her from the inside out. With the anesthesia in her veins it prevents the girl from waking up. So she had to embrace the pain.
Once the mutagen took affect the girl stopped squirming. Sacks went over to the EKG monitor checking vitals. "Heart rate now at 100 beats per minute, body temperature at 99 degrees, and visual signs of vein inflation decrease."
"Guddo," Shredder said in Japanese. "Dono kurai jikan ga chūshutsu mae ni kakarimasu ka?"
Sacks took a moment to translate what his sensei asked. "I recommend a week to confirm if the mutagen is efficient."
Shredder nodded. He held a neutral face under the shadows but felt a hint of proudness for his pupil. Coming to America was the best idea he had in causing trouble, even after the rejection of personal affairs while eliminating his nemesis. Now it's time and planning to commence the poison into the air and make his army more superior than any human soldier. With nothing else to say, Shredder lifted his hood and walked away to return to his private dojo.
Once alone Sacks continue to take notes on the test subject. He made sure every single detail have been noted while the video camera recorded everything. His master plan is coming to life once more. At first he lost hope in this obsession after Dr. O'Neil found out his true intention. That after he killed his coworker and friend, he desperately searched the emblazed lab to find no traces of the five turtles and rat. The moment the flames were becoming too strong, Sacks tripped to find one turtle on the floor. This turtle he knew was female from the pink spot on its shell and had a lower dosage of the mutagen. If he recall correctly, Dr. O'Neil's daughter named this one Elizabeth for the Queen of England.
Having an epiphany, Sacks grabbed the small turtle escaping the laboratory before it blew up. Since then he continue the research under a mask. Going to Dr. O'Neil's funeral, giving speeches of the scientist who lost their lives in the fire, and protecting the people of better security in his own company Sacks Industries.
"We shall make millions, my dear." Sacks told the girl. "Think of this as a new beginning. A change in history."
The girl didn't respond as she releases a large exhale that created a bubble. Sacks smirked slightly towards the frail child in the cylinder. If things goes as plan, he might consider in letting the girl live if she survive the extraction process. Give her a new identity, an isolated place, and money. Money resolves practically everything.
With nothing to say, he turned off the lights leaving the girl in the darkness.
.o0o.
Alone in the dark lab, the girl floated in the warm water unaware of her surroundings. Inside her mind was blank, a forgotten abyss of nothing. No dreams. No nightmares. Only nothing as she become so numb. She could feel the water temperature around her naked body, the constant bubbles pressing against her skin, while hearing indistinct sounds.
As she floated in the cylinder the mutagen bumped rapidly in her veins, even though it had cured her from the virus, it started to alter the human DNA. The genes of the previous experiment fused into the chromosome, transforming the subjects from Homo sapiens to a reptilian sapiens. Slowly her body becomes larger, more muscular, as her physical features becoming tall and leggy, with full breast, wide waist, all curves. Her skin once pale started to turn into a greyish green shade with scales spouting out causing the smooth texture more leathery. But that isn't the only mutation that happened. No the major changes to her body is the long reptilian tail and the top of her head. Like skin pushing her skin away to create a cowl similar to a crossbreed of a chameleon and Regal Horned lizard.
Once the transformation is complete, the female test subject woken up. Her eyes vibrant green, narrow like a lizard. The animal inside panic to find herself trapped in such claustrophobic area. Moving her arms, desperately banging her claw like hands against the glass. The mutant pounded harder until the muscles in her tail expanded flexing spikes to puncture the glass. With one final punch the glass shattered, causing the reptilian to fall. Unable to catch to catch herself, as she fell from the cylinder and on to broken shard cutting skin. She whimpered to slight slinging pain, but manages to stand up on wobbly legs.
All around her seemed hazy, not understanding what is going on with the drugs in her system. Practically everything in her body seemed sluggish. Spotting the tubes, she yanks the needles out follow by the oxygen masked. Sadly her hearing seemed to be clogged for the alarms started going off.
The alarms blared loudly to a point it cause your ears to bleed. Lights flickered on and off in red. The mutant girl panic once more once her hearing came back, trying to comprehend what is going on. Realizing this wasn't good when three foot soldiers scurry in wielding gun. They all aimed at the mutant, though there eyes widen in shock, almost in fear to find such a bizarre beast. They were expecting a feeble girl either unconscious on the ground or awake having enhanced strength. Not, not a monster! Not a six foot tall lizard!
A growl rumble in her chest, swinging her tail causing vials, beakers, and chemicals on the floor. Out of sheer moment of fear, the Foot Soldiers started firing at the beast. The mutant stared at them confused not sure what is going one. She tried to speak, but only growls came out. A growl that sounds feral. This wasn't good as the Foot Soldiers took this as a sign of threat and began to fire. Instincts took control as she dodged the bullets behind on of the tables. Quickly examining her surroundings, the only option was the tinted window.
She debated on her options before standing up and lunging herself out of the window with much force. Unable to take the impact the glass shattered. She continues to fall harshly till diving into the Hudson River.

I know, I'm terrible in writing in third person. But I plan to write in first person. So tell me what you all think about this? If you are curious what the new character looks like think of the old TMNT with Mona Lisa mixed with Silurian from Dr. Who. Also she is named after Fede Galizia, a female Italian renaissance painter. So I thought the name would fit, but she goes by Galizia.
This would be before the 2k14 and maybe I shall add the events into the story. But I need to know what you readers think.
If you are wondering what shredder said: TRANSLATION "Good. How long will it take before the extraction?"
So tell me what do you all think?
