"Where are we going Boss?" asked Bebop.
"We are going to make a visit to a former associate of mine," said Shredder. "Leave all the important stuff for me. But if I tell you to jump, I want you to ask 'how high'."
"How far are you going to jump?" said a voice.
"Lotus," Shredder said. "Nice to see you again."
"The pleasure is mine Saki. As is the chance to make it our last," said Lotus.
Shredder laughed.
Shredder took out his katanna.
"You might have defeated me once, but you will not again," said Shredder.
"Once? I think you mean twice," said Lotus.
Shredder smiled. "Yes, you are a fine ninja, more than that weak Toru anyway."
Lotus kicked Shredder.
"I will revenge my husband," she said.
Shredder tripped Lotus.
"Careful Lotus, no fun in ending this duel early," said Shredder.
Lotus got up quickly. This was very true. She could not allow her emotions to cloud her vision.
She continued her fencing with Shredder.
Shredder laughed.
"He asked me to help him train. Did he ever tell you that? I told him I would for a price. And he did not deliever."
"You are lying. Why would he ask you, if he could ask me?"
"I don't know. Maybe he was ashamed that his woman was a better fighter than him…" said Shredder.
" I do not believe you!" Lotus shouted. She raised her sword.
Shredder raised his, as the blades touched eachother.
"But I do know you were the one that killed my husband," said Lotus.
"Yes, and he told me to not hurt his daughter, how is little Kameko?" Shredder asked.
"Beyond your reach…" said Lotus. "She will never be within your reach…"
"But we are family," said Shredder.
"No," said Lotus sternly. "You are a monster."
"A monster, I can show you what a monster I can be," shouted the Shredder.
Shredder continued to fight with Lotus.
Leonardo felt a cold brisk of wind through out his spine. A sense of light headness and a mountain of concern...Lotus was in trouble. He could sense it. And not only that, she was scarred, concerned, worried.

"Saki, you know I can defeat you," said Lotus.
Shredder nodded.
"I was unprepared then. I am better prepared now," he said.
"Does that mean you are going to bring yourself yet more dishonor by cheating?" Lotus asked. "Your blood might have invaded Toru's body, but not his soul. And it is so sad how you taint his family's honor."
Shredder knocked Lotus' Katana away.
"Now it is time…" Shredder started to say.
In that time, Lotus reached down to retrieve her katana.
"Now who is being so rash and coky?" asked Lotus.
Shredder laughed.
"But I have not yet revealed the last card," said the Shredder.
"Tagon!" Shredder shouted.
Just then a man came out, one with an appearance that was familiar to Lotus.
"Toru!" Lotus shouted weakly. She felt that her heart would stop at any moment. "How can this be?"
"Hello Lotus," said the man.
"But you are dead," she said. "You died in my arms. This can not be."
Shredder laughed.
"I'm with Saki now," said the man.
"No," said Lotus, shaking her head. "I do not believe this."
Shredder laughed.
"But it true, and now as you see, I found your weakness. You are surrounded," said the Shredder.
It was true, in the small time Lotus was distracted; a huge army of soliders surrounded the area.
"You have no honor Saki," said Lotus. "And though, I might die trying, I will not surrender."
"So be it," said the Shredder.
"But she won't be alone," shouted another voice.
Shredder turned around.
"Ah, Leonardo," said The Shredder. "You want to play too?"
Lotus looked at Leonardo.
"Leonardo, this is not your fight," she said.
"It is now, I am not losing you again," said Leo.
"Ah, how sweet," said Shredder. "When this is over, my grand-neice with be mine to raise."
"Never!" shouted Lotus.
