Chapter 7:
The Evil Curse
Talena was in Shredder's lab room for a special experiment.
She was going to receive something new from Shredder . . . something evil.
She did not know it yet, but half of her was going to become evil.
Shredder was going to give her an evil side.
He hooked up chords to her brain and she layed on a table.
"This won't hurt a bit," Shredder said, "just lie still."
"Ok." Talena said with nervousness.
Shredder had told her that he was going to make her smarter.
She didn't know he was using her to destroy the world for him.
Shredder turned on the machine and Talena began to squirm and shriek.
It was over soon after.
Talena felt no different from before, and didn't appear to look different on the outside appearance.
After that incident, Shredder trained with Talena until it was nighttime.
Shredder congratulated her on getting more skillful with the ninja arts.
"Donatella," Shredder stated, "come here, my daughter, it is time for your reward."
"Reward?"
"Yes, you are now 10 years of age and deserve actual ninja weapons."
Shredder handed her a bo staff. "I have seen you train with the staff, and you are excellent with it."
Talena accepted the bo staff.
Even though Talena knew how to fight with every ninja weapon, the bo staff was her favorite.
Shredder had made her practice with the katana blades, the sai, and the nunchucks.
He said it was the weapons their enemies used.
He said she was to train with those weapons so she could battle his enemies, and conquer them.
Talena remembered the experiment Shredder had done to her.
She didn't feel any smarter.
She left the dojo to go to bed.
She looked at herself in the mirror and screamed.
Staring at her in the mirror was her reflection.
But her reflection had gray skin and red eyes.
