The New York Docks, New York City, United States of America, Planet Earth.
July 2015.
Despite being closed for the night, one section of the docks was busting with activity.
A nearby cargo ship was being loaded by tons of Footbots with various equipment, all following Stockman, Bradford and Xever's instructions on where to put it.
All over the docks, hidden amongst the multiple cargo containers, were Tiger Claw and Karai, overwatching Zeck and Steranko as well as a contingent of Foot Bots, who were patrolling the perimeter of the docks.
Meanwhile, on a rooftop that was some distance from the docks, a certain group of 4 Turtles were watching the docks through their telescopes.
Donnie, was analysing the whole situation laid out in front of him, and then said, "Well, I suppose it's a good thing we've got backup with us, because those are a lot of fighting power that they've got down there. We're going to be in for one shell of a fight. For we're not going to be able to sneak by them".
Leonardo, nodded his head and said, "Then we're just gonna have to kick down the door hard. C'mon, let's head back to the Shellraiser. I've got a plan".
With the whole plan detailed, the Shellraiser and the Party Wagon headed out into different directions.
As part of the plan, the Party Wagon went first, relying on it's speed to crash right through the gates, that were the only way into the docks for motor vehicles.
And while the Foot Bots nearby immediately took notice and leapt after the Party Wagon, soon, the Shellraiser followed on through the gaping hole in the wrecked gate made by the Party Wagon.
Stopping, the occupants of the both vehicles soon saw that Foot Bots were approaching them, so immediately, they leapt out of the vehicles and attacked.
Despite the Foot Bots having the ability to adapt to the martial arts moves of their opponents, the Turtles, April, Casey and Splinter knew that the way to beat them was to, literally 'be unpredictable'.
This they did, effortlessly destroying Footbot after Footbot until then, one of Shredder's minions made his presence known.
And it was obvious who it was. The fact that they couldn't see physically where it was, as well as the laser bolts being fired, as well as the rap speak, indicated that this opponent was Bebop, the mutant warthog-former high tech thief.
But Splinter easily dealt with him, as he was able to manoeuvre his way past the energy bolts being shot at him, and in a way that made it look incredibly easily, manage to grab his right wrist, pull it hard, twist it hard (causing Bebop to yell in pain) and then trip him up, causing Bebop to fall down onto the floor, flat on his back.
A groan came afterwards from the mutant warthog, but the fight was not over yet.
For a mutant white rhinoceros came into the mix, hammer and sickle in hand.
And even with Rocksteady charging right at them, Splinter jumped at the mutant rhino and knocked him out pretty easily.
And as Splinter effortlessly threw Rocksteady into the cargo containers, resulting in a really loud metallic clang.
As the Turtles, April and Casey all went "woah" at Splinter's effortless display, the moment was interrupted by the use of one particular modified pistol, which fired blue bolts of energy that upon contact, froze into icicles.
Looking up, the Turtles, Splinter, April and Casey could see, on top of the containers, Tiger Claw and Karai.
Karai..., was the only thought going through Leo's mind, as he saw Master Splinter's daughter, under the control of Shredder, standing alongside Tiger Claw and looking down on him, his brothers, his sensei and his friends with a hate-filled gaze.
Then Raph broke the silence, by twirling his Sais and saying, "Well, I thought this was gonna be too easy!"
Tiger Claw huffed and shouted out, "Do you know why you always fail? It is because of your incessant need for talk. Shut up and fight!"
And soon, both Tiger Claw and Karai jumped into the fray and attacked, with Tiger Claw taking out his very large unique blade and Karai taking out her sword out of it's scabbard.
In response, Splinter took out a sword from his walking stick and immediately clashed blades with Tiger Claw whilst Leonardo brought his swords to defend himself against Karai.
The clanging of blades as they clashed against one another was the most dominant sound being heard, as Leonardo attempted to reach out to Karai.
"Karai, please, you are Master Splinter's daughter! Don't make me fight you"!
A snarl from Karai and she swung her sword hard, only to find herself being blocked by Leo, who only defended himself, and made no attempt to fight back against Karai.
A few more swings from Karai, and she was already getting frustrated.
So, with venom, she shouted, "Come on, Leonardo! You think you can call yourself a ninja? You're not even fighting me! C'mon! Fight me"!
The response from Leo, was a simple, "No".
And this made Karai even more angrier, as evidenced when she put more effort into her attacks, wildly slashing and swinging her sword at Leo, who was still defending, making no effort to attack her in self defence.
Soon, she was getting even more incensed and she started yelling, "ARGH! Just fight back, you coward!"
And as their blades clashed, Leo then replied back, "No, Karai. I will not fight you. I will never fight you. You are Hamato Yoshi's daughter..."
A swift kick and Leo was flung into metal containers that were right behind him, resulting in a loud metallic clang. Having lost his swords, Leo tried to get up, but Karai used her foot to push onto his plastron, pinning him to the ground. Holding her sword to his neck and looking at Leo with absolute hatred, she shouted "Liar! You, your family, your sensei, you're all liars! All of you"!
"Karai, please..."
"SILENCE! I'm done listening to you"!
And she brought up her sword for a swing, preparing to take Leo's life. But then, the blade of her sword was wrapped around, and yanked out of her hands.
In confusion, she looked behind her, seeing Mikey with his nunchaku with the extra-chain length having had grabbed her sword, preventing her from taking Leo's life.
Karai growled in anger and soon transitioned into a state between her normal self and her mutated self (evidenced with having a human body as well as serpent hands and arms), before rushing to the orange-masked turtle, who upon seeing her, yelped and started running away.
Leo got up and went in pursuit, grabbing his fallen katana, then holstering them.
And soon, he chucked shuriken at Karai, hoping to distract her.
Bouncing off her armor, Karai turned around and snarled as she saw Leonardo standing before her.
Thus, she then transitioned further, to become her full mutant form, a two-armed white and purple serpent.
Hissing, she then spoke in a very distorted version of her normal voice, "Well, then, Leonardo has got the guts to fight me! Good. I'm gonna enjoy squeezing the life out of you"!
And unexpectedly, Leonardo just kept staring back at her, saying simply, "Go ahead, Karai. Take my life. I will not fight or harm you".
To say that Karai was confused was a massive underestimatement, evidenced by her response, "What"?
Leonardo starred back at her with empathy and said with gentleness, "I'll never hurt you or harm you. You are Master Splinter's daughter, Karai. Please, Shredder's controlling you. You've got to fight back against that control! Then we can help you! I'll have Donnie working on a special retro-mutagen that can help! And you'll be free..., please Karai. I know we've had our differences in the past, but I want to make things right. I can't promise it'll be a quick fix or things will be fixed in one day, but I'll never give up on you! That much, I can promise"!
Karai really looked torn, and soon, she looked like she was fighting an internal battle of her own, as she started transitioning from her mutated forms, clutching her head in agony and shouting, "no... No! NO!"
Eventually, she then settled to transition to her full mutated form, and unleashed an angry rant at Leo, "LIAR! YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR PATHETIC RAT MASTER ARE ALL LIARS! ALL OF YOU! I'LL MAKE YOUR MASTER SPLINTER WATCH AS YOU, YOUR BROTHERS, THE WANNABE KUNOICHI AND THAT JOCK ALL DIE BY MY HAND! NOW, STOP BEING SUCH A COWARD AND FIGHT ME"!
Leo, starred back defiantly, giving a simple response.
"No".
And as he closed his eyes, he noticed that Karai was starting to get even more angrier and angrier, and said, "You want to die helplessly? Fine by me!"
But as she was about to pounce on Leo and finish him off, she was then suddenly kicked away by Raphael, who had jumped in to intervene to save his brother.
The red-masked turtle looked at his eldest brother, who opened his eyes, and said, "You okay, Leo? I know, you wanted to save Karai, but she was about to pounce on you, Leo. Anyways, I'm here because Shredder's forces are falling back to that freighter. C'mon"!
The two Turtles ran off to join up with the fight going on near the freighter, whilst Karai, getting up, snarled at the two Turtles and followed on.
Well, this certainly took a while. And man, what a season finale we had... And to all those wondering whenever I'm gonna get around to the How to Train Your Dragon part, well, don't worry, it's coming, it's coming. These things do take time. Next chapter, I believe will be shorter than this one. So, anyways, don't forget to leave a review whenever you can and see you next time!
I was so shocked. So shocked for words.
But regardless, I am even more excited for Season 4.
