Chapter 4

March 25th 2005

April O'Neil was not a woman who scared easily, from her childhood she was brought to up to face danger and fear head on and never give up. She had faced many dangers along side the turtles, many times risking her neck on the line. Many times she had helped the turtles against Shredder, she wasn't scared then. She went on under cover missions to scout out dangerous places, she wasn't scared then. She fought against the Foot and knew one false move meant death or serious injury, she wasn't scared then. However, she was scared now.

Raphael was angry.

If there was one thing that made April scared, is Raph angry. He becomes like the Hulk when he's angry, the only difference that Raph doesn't grow several feet and he is green anyway. Raph would continue to be angry, breaking anything he could get his hands on until his anger was 'flushed' out of his system. In short yes, just like the Hulk.

April stayed silent in the lift down to the lair, she was afraid that saying anything would anger Raph further. To be honest she didn't know what to say in that situation anyway. She knew Leo was right in wanting to search for his brother but she also knew Raph was partly right about Leo being too bossy at times.

DING

The lift reached the liar and as soon as the doors opened Raph stormed in, April hanging back for a second for her own safety.

"ARGGGHHH!"

Raph yelled at the top of his lungs and started to flush out his anger. April watched both in amazement and shock at Raph's rampage.

Raph took a leap kick at his punch bag with remarkable speed and power. The power of which caused the bag to come off its hinges and soared into the opposite wall leaving a very large hole in the shape of the bag. Next the green turtle walked up to where the weights were stacked, pulling out his weapons, he cut the main support beam and all the weights crashed onto the floor. Not satisfied, he walked over to Donnie's work station, which had been left the way it had been before, and kicked the table into the TV. The result sent glass and sparks all over, April still had not moved from her spot as she watched everything unfold before her.

"Raphael."

From the other side of the room the Japanese doors slid open to reveal master Splinter who did not pleased at the scene before him.

"Master," muttered Raph, taking a bow.

"Sit with me my son."

Splinter kneeled down outside his door on the raised platform, Raph hesitated at first but joined his master and kneeled on the floor before him.

"April, join us."

April, for the first time, moved from her spot and joined the pair kneeling on the floor.

"Master… I…"

"Be silent Raphael, you shall clean the lair up after I am done speaking. You need not give into your anger my son, one day you will do something you shall regret. Leonardo is doing the best he can and does what he thinks is best, respect him as you would me."

"Yes master Splinter." Said Raph, bowing his head.

"Good now go clean up the mess."

Raph left the pair, April was going to leave but the look on Splinter's face made her stay."

"April, I need your help," said Splinter after a long silence.

"What do you need?"

"You are family here, my sons look up to you. What just happened here could have been averted if you stepped in and talked to Raphael. I sense a storm on the horizon, we need to be united and not divided. Can I count on you April?"

"Yes master."

The pair bowed their heads to one another and April left to help Raph rebuild the stuff he had just destroyed, leaving Splinter to dwell on his thoughts. For some strange reason he felt something very bad was about to happen, even master Yoshi told him so when he had mediated earlier.

- The Shredder's palace -

Hun waited patiently in the lift with several of the Foot clan beside him. The shredder's plan had gone off without a hitch, disable the camera's and the personnel, then steal what the master wanted. Even though the operation had cost quite a few of the Foot lives, but that really didn't matter, to Hun and the Shredder their lives are expendable. Heck that was how the Foot clan ran, if you were weak you didn't deserve to profit from the Shredder's plans.

DING

The life finally reached the top floor and the door opened to reveal the one person Hun truly despised, other than the turtles that is.

"You're late," said Karai

Karai strode off as Hun reluctantly followed her, the Foot stayed in the lift and took it back down to the lower levels. Karai of course was dressed in her usual clothes with her twin swords tied to her back.

"I'm sorry Karai," Replied Hun, very sarcastically may I add, "I worked the fastest I could, maybe you could have done better if the Shredder… oh wait you didn't go because the Shredder trusts me over you…"

In a blink of an eye Karai had one of her swords out and trained on Hun's neck. The man himself didn't flinch at all, in fact he just smiled.

"Struck a nerve did I?" laughed Hun. "I'm sure the Shredder will be pleased to know that you struck me down in a fit of jealousy."

Karai sheathed her sword, killing Hun and facing the wrath of the Shredder was not worth it in the end.

"Pathetic,"

The pair strolled down the hallway as if nothing had just happened, the door leading to the Shredder's office was opened by two invisible foot ninja. Of course to an outsider they would think the door was just automatic but the pair knew differently.

"Ah Hun, finally you made it."

The Shredder was sat behind his desk, without his armour on of course, and looked quite angry, then again he always looked angry.

"Do you have what I asked you to get?"

"Yes my master,"

Hun kneeled before the desk and extended his hand to show the Shredder what he had just stolen. In his hands was some type of micro chip, by the sounds of what the shredder had said, it was pretty powerful.

"Excellent Hun, you may go."

"Thank you master."

Hun left the room leaving the Shredder and Karai, the latter seeming very confused.

"What is it father?"

"A device that brings me one step closer to taking over this world and ridding me of those turtles. Chaplin!"

On cue the doctor ran and bowed, without exchanging any words the doctor took the chip and ran back out. Karai became even more confused than before.

"Leave me Karai, I shall have a job for you soon."

The Shredder walked over to the window that over looked New York and felt a smile come across his face for the first time in ages.

"Soon this world shall be mine!"
