Angelo awoke with a start; breathing in deeply he realized his face was sticky wet from warm tears and cold sweat; he winced when he rubbed his eyes and irritated the raw skin of his bottom eyelids. Getting up into a sitting position he glanced around the room.

Wait, why was he in Karai's room?

She had probably caught him in the middle of his episode and being unable to wake him up had made up for it by putting him in her room.

Angelo growled while he reached into his pocket and glared at a small plastic bottle of pills like it was the source of his troubles. Angelo didn't get it, why didn't the pills work? Chaplin said they would work when he gave them to him; that red-headed nerd better not have lied to him.

Angelo rose from Karai's bed and carefully fixed up her bed to make up for how much he'd messed it up trashing in his sleep. He had to make sure there were no wrinkles or anything; Karai was a complete perfectionist and seeing things in disarray made her go nuts.

'Like Leo,' Angelo thought before shaking those thoughts away and reminding himself to stop thinking about them; last night's battle had been different, he couldn't fight Raphael because Splinter had appeared. Evil or not, Angelo still believed in Bushido and would not dishonor his father and sensei.

Evil…Angelo chuckled darkly at the thought; look at what he'd become, he'd long since accepted he was evil; only those evil can kill without remorse, only those evil can hurt their family, only those evil can have such a strong desire for revenge like Angelo.

With the bed made, Angelo left Karai's room; faintly wondering where she was, she usually stuck around until he woke up after his episodes. She was probably busy or decided to have breakfast with her lover Doctor Chaplin.

Angelo rolled his eyes as he continued down the hall to his own room; Love was a useless emotion that only caused drama and romance was pointless. Love was the kind of things humans made up to brainwash people to buy things for each other, and Angelo's former self had been foolish enough to believe it existed.

Look where the stupid fake emotion had gotten him…

Angelo pushed open his door and walked straight to the small closet the room offered to put on a clean Foot uniform, typically Angelo didn't sleep in his clothes but last night he had no control over it. Shedding the sleeveless shirt off, Angelo looked at himself in the mirror and looked away from all the scars he'd seen himself gain in his nightmares. He shred the trousers next and slipped into another Foot uniform. Putting on the clothes made Angelo think back to when his brothers and him made jokes of how clothes were for humans and how hard they were hard to move in. Wearing the uniform when he'd spent his entire life only wearing gear used to bug him, but he eventually got used to it.

Angelo ripped his black mask off; it was soaked in tears. Throwing the wet garment into the wastebasket Angelo took a spare black mask from the closet and tied it onto his face.

The young turtle made his way out of his room and was about to go to the dojo, but when he got there Hun told him that Shredder wanted to speak to him about something.

Muttering, Angelo equipped himself with his chigiriki and Jumonji-Yari before he headed to the Shredder.

"Kneel before me, Angelo."

"My lord, you requested my presence?"

"Angelo, it had been days; when does your personal mission take full effect? My patience is wearing, has your loyalty returned to them."

"Do not believe that, Master Shredder! I am loyal only to you; my kinship with them is dead. As for my mission, there is nothing to worry about; My actions are much like a slow-acting poison, it infects them from the inside-out. They are tearing apart on the inside, and they will only notice it when it is far too late."

"Very well my son. You may leave."

"Thank you, my lord. Have you seen Karai?"

"I am afraid I have not; she left a while ago, having…. 'Business to attend to'"

Leo walked out of Don's lab; he had received another check-up to make sure he hadn't sustained any damage from the blow he'd received from Mikey's chigiriki. There was no damage, his scull was a little bruised and Leo would be a little sensitive to loud noises for while, but other than tat he was all right.

Leo glared at Raph who was lying on the couch on his side; staring out into space with the look of regret and self-hatred still strong in his amber eyes.

Earlier, Splinter had announced Raphael would not receive punishment for his 'dishonorable act' (As Master Splinter had put it) until he had worked this out with Mikey. Normally, Leo would agree with his sensei; but he found that complete bullshit. Raph had raped their little brother, leading him to become 'darker' and work for the Shredder, and he wouldn't get punished for it until he somehow worked this out with Mikey.

How the Shell would Raph work this out with Mikey anyways? Walk up to him, say; 'Hey, sorry I raped ya bro, please stop workin' for the Shredda' while your at it, go back to how you used to be. Oh by the way, it turns out we both love each other.' And all was good and well?

Yeah, that unrealistic.

"Homato Clan, I come foreword to speak with you." A female voice suddenly rang into their lair. Leonardo immediately took out his katana and held them in offensive stance. "Karai!" he spat.

Indeed it was Karai who stood at the entrance, next to her stood Chaplin who was fidgeting in fear at the sight of Leo.

Don came rushing out of his lab with his Bo staff. Raph didn't get up; he continued to stare blankly into space.

"What the Shell do you want, Karai?" Don demanded, doing a stance next to Leo.

"Was Mikey not enough for the Shredder? Do you want another one of us now too?" Leo growled.

Karai sighed "I bear no weapons, turtles." She told them "Because I have not come to fight with you, I have come to tell you how your brother became how he is now. I sensed that you know the first part; but I have come to tell you the rest."

Next Chapter Karai explains Mikey/Angelo's experiances in the Foot, the pills he has to take, the electricity, and how Karai and Angelo have become close.
