Here we go, guys, the Rogue in the House episode has begun. The Turtles and Anti-Heros greatest enemy has returned and is eager for revenge. Can they stop him? Or will the Shredder finally rid himself of his enemies? Find out now.
On a Foot ship headed to New York
Karai was walking to the genetics lab that contained Ch'rell, having been summoned there by him. Once she got inside, she bowed before her master. "You summoned me, master?"
"I did. My recuperation is finally at an end. The worms have done their work. At long last, the time had arrived for my resurrection!" The now fully healed Utrom said with evil joy as the worms left his body and a hover device hovered up to the evil Utrom and the liquid drained from the chamber.
"As you command, master." Karai said as she brought the Utrom to his new Shredder exo suit and put him in it.
Ch'rell activated the suit and a familiar set of red eyes glowed through the helmet as the suit was now operational. "And so I stand before the world..." He said before the stomach part of the armor closed so no one would know of his true self. "Reborn!" He finished in the all too familiar evil voice that came from the suit's voice modulator. "But we have little time to waste. The Utroms who hunted me and their human guardians may have gone, but they will learn of my survival and return in greater numbers. We must be ready." Shredder said as he and Karai walked out of the chamber.
"Unfortunately, my lord, we are not ready." Karai informed her master.
"What?!"
"Many of your followers were killed in the senseless war for control of New York." Karai explained.
"Yes Karai, but what we lack in numbers, we make up for in strength and loyalty." Hun said, coming into the room and bowing before his healed master, not knowing what he really was. "Master, it's good to see you back in action. And if you would allow me, I'd like to show you what we've been working on." He said as he led his master to the lab aboard the ship. "First Master Shredder, I have a little welcome back present that I hope you will enjoy. May I reintroduce you to... Baxter Stockman." Hun said with an evil smile as he showed Shredder what was left of Baxter Stockman, his still breathing brain and remaining eye in the specimen container.
"This is Baxter Stockman? Ha. You've lost weight." Shredder said with humor, finding Stockman's current state hilarious, as he no longer had a human body.
"Of course it's me! Look around you! Do you think this lab would've been possible without my genius?! This imbeciles working for you have brains of mindless monkeys!" Stockman said, still as arrogant as ever.
"And you've been very naughty, Stockman, betraying me once too often. You should have quit while you were...a head." Shredder said jokingly as he laughed.
"Now allow me to show you how the good doctor was able to hand over so much of his information." Hun said sadistically as he got out a small control device and pushed the button, making the tube electrocute Stockman as he screamed in pain.
Karai became sick at seeing this horrible torture and spoke. "Master, where is the honor here? This misery should be put to an end, not prolonged."
"Do not question me, Karai! Stockman is the perfect example of what happens to those who betray me! Is that clear?" Shredder asked his adopted daughter threateningly.
"Yes master, a perfect example. Now if I may show you your new army." Hun said, agreeing with his master before leading him further into the lab before lights came on over 8 incomplete robots. "These are our latest and most deadly weapons of destruction: The Foot Mechs. As you know, the Utrom exo suits possess unimaginable strength and reflexes. These 9 Foot Mechs are an advanced Android technology based on the exo suits and upgraded with weaponry. They will be completely under your control from this command center."
"9? Why only 9?"
"Well, these Foot Mechs are contracted around an Utrom bio-chip that's beyond our ability to create or replicate. We were only able to recover 9 such bio-chips from what the Utroms left behind. But 9 may be all we need. Nobody else on Earth will have weapons like these." Hun explained before showing his master 2 nearly complete Foot Mechs designed to look like normal humans. "When finished, these 2 will be perfect reproductions of the president of the United States and the Prime Minister of England. And I think you'll really enjoy this one, master." Hun said with an evil grin before showing his master the final Foot Mech, which to his surprise, looked exactly like Master Splinter.
A metal object that had a turtle shape on it came down as the Splinter Foot Mech jumped down and proceeded to ninja kick the object until it was completely dented. "It is perfect." Shredder said, impressed. "Now let us test these new Foot Mechs. Send this one to hunt down the 9 warrior creatures. Find their lair and destroy them once and for all!" Shredder said before laughing maniacally while Karai looked conflicted about weather to honor her master or warn the 9 warriors about what was coming.
Meanwhile in the sewers
the Turtles were having a friendly race against Sly, Scar and Neyla on Donny's newly built hover sleds while the Hunters rode in their pods. Donnie had even built hover sleds for Nebula and Xeron, who were having fun as well.
The race suddenly came to an unexpected stop, as they spotted 'Master Splinter' wounded on the next bend of the tunnel they had just entered. But unknown to them, at the Foot's secret base of operations, Hun, Karai and Shredder were seeing everything through the Splinter Mech's robotic eyes.
"Master Splinter?" Leo said with great concern as he and his brothers walked up to their 'master' to see if he was alright.
But Scar cried out to his turtle friends. "Leonardo! My friends, get away from him now!"
Mikey asked, confused by his friend's choice of words. "What for Scar?"
Nebula answered for her Yautja friend. "For one simple reason, Mikey...Sly? Neyla?"
The two Hunter lovers nodded before arming their plasma casters and firing a single shot...which struck 'Splinter' dead on in his chest.
Raph asked while crying, as he couldn't believe what they just did. "Sly, what did you and Neyla do that for?"
Sly answered simply to his friend as he pointed at the 'wounded Splinter'. "That's why, Raph!"
The Turtles would stared with shock and were speechless, as they witnessed their 'father' and 'mentor' slowly standing up with a large single hole through his chest...'bleeding' oil.
Scar answered as he readied his own plasma caster at the wounded Mech. "That's not Master Splinter. It's just a machine designed to look like him."
Leo asked as he and his brothers immediately knew Scar, Sly, Neyla, Nebula and Xeron had known that the Splinter they had just spotted was a robot. "You, Neyla and Sly had scanned 'Splinter' for vital signs...did you Scar?"
The blue masked turtle's Yautja friend chuckled and answered. "Yes and we didn't read any vitals; no heartbeat, no lungs breathing, nothing."
The Splinter Mech 'groaned in pain' as it spotted the oil 'bleeding' from its robotic chest and cried out as Scar had impaled it with his glaive. Leo asked, demanding to know who had sent it. "Who sent you here?" After the Mech didn't answer, Scar had impaled the robot again, which earned a more louder and painful scream. The blue masked turtle asked calmly. "My friends and I don't have time for games, robot. Who sent you to attack us?"
The Mech simply smirked and replied in a robotic voice. "Detonation T-minus 10 seconds. Ten...nine..." The Turtles and Anti-Heroes stared with shock as the realized the Mech was about to self-destruct and immediately ran/jumped to safety as the Mech blew itself up.
Xeron asked as they had managed to escape the Mech's blast radius. "Nebula, you guys. Everyone alright?"
"Yes, my friend, we're alright." Scar answered for everyone, showing the green skinned assassin that they were alright.
Neyla stated a bit disappointed as they failed to know how had sent the Mech Splinter. "Yeah, we're alright...but that robotic impostor destroyed itself before we could learn who had sent it to attack us."
"Maybe we still can."
"What do you mean, Don?" Raph asked his genius brother.
The purple masked turtle answered. "Hopefully the robot's main memory core could tell us something...if it wasn't destroyed when the Mech destroyed itself." After approaching the remains of the Mech Splinter, Donny had picked up the still intact robotic head and found a slot for a memory card in the back of the head. Donny would state with a smile on his face as he approached his friends and brothers, "I'd say we just got lucky."
Sly asked while already knowing the answer. "Is that the memory core?"
The purple masked turtle answered. "Indeed it is Sly. Let's on back to the lair. I should be able to get us answers while working on this memory card in 30-40 minutes tops."
After getting back on their vehicles, the Turtles and Anti-Heroes headed straight home, where Donny had gone straight to work, trying to figure out whom had sent the Mech Splinter after while Leo and the others explained what had happened to the actual Master Splinter. After the 30 minutes were up, Donny turned to his friends and Master Splinter, "You guys, I was able to pull off some data off this memory card from that robot impostor."
Nebula asked as they were intrigued about the kind of data was on the memory card. "What did you find out Donnie?"
The purple masked turtle answered honestly. "That Master Splinter impostor came from this cargo freighter out by the docks. And that's not all...guess who the freighter belongs to."
Everybody gasped as they recognized the insignia on the side of the ship all too well..the Foot Clan symbol. Raph stated while growling at Leo. "So it was the Foot that sent Master Splinter Mech to attack us! We told you that helping those guys was a mistake Leo!"
Leo stuttered shocked by this turn of events. "B-But Karai gave us her word that the Foot would never bother or harm us ever again!"
Scar stated sadly while putting a hand on his friend's shoulder. "We know you don't want to believe or hear this Leo...but there's a good chance that Karai lied about leaving us alone after becoming leader of the Foot."
"I don't care about Karai lying to us or not. No one tries to attack our family and lives. No one! We must counterattack now." Nebula said with anger, wanting to teach anyone with hostile intentions that no one attacks her new family and lives.
"Good to hear, Nebula, and I've got a plan for that." Sly said as he shared his plan with the others.
Meanwhile at the Foot ship
"The Splinter Foot Mech has gone dark, Master. The last signal indicates that the Turtles, Hunters and Assassins may have discovered the memory core and are more than likely coming here." Hun reported.
"Good. Let them come if they wish. It will give me great pleasure to squeeze the life out of all of them with my own hands, especially the Hunters! They will pay for what they did to me and they will pay with their blood! HAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"And I'll finally be able to finish off those 2 assassin whores for humiliating me!" Hun thought evilly, wanting revenge on Nebula and Xeron.
Later
After they had reached the docks, the Turtles, Master Splinter and Anti-Heroes put Sly's plan into action and worked up a sneak attack onto the ship undetected: Sly, Scar and Neyla cloaked themselves while Xeron and Nebula had stuck to the darkest corner of the ship and dealt with any Foot Ninja guarding the outside and inside of the ship.
Leo, Raph and Master Splinter had climbed through the vents to reach the bridge but stopped when they reached a vent and looked through it, seeing a lab and to their great shock, they saw the Shredder/Ch'rell in new exo suit armor. "The Shredder's still... alive? No. Sly, Scar and Neyla killed him. There's no way he could've survived what they did and with the explosion, there'd be no trace of his body left."
"Yeah. And I see he still gets his suits at the hardware store." Raph said, noticing their greatest enemy's new armor.
"They are creating deadly mechanical assassins. They must be stopped. This ship must be completely destroyed." Splinter told them, knowing they couldn't allow these mechanical assassins to be completed.
"Then we get this damn ship to open water and then one of us can use our self-destruct device to destroy it. We've already taken care of the lines and Nebula and Xeron are in the engine room." Sly told Leo through communication.
In the Shredder's chamber
"Master, there has been a security breach. We found several of our guards killed and mutilated." Karai reported.
"It is the Turtles, Hunters and Assassins. I know it. Hun, take the Elite ninjas and search the ship. If you capture them, hold them. I want to kill the Hunters myself." Shredder ordered, making Karai conflicted. "Is something the matter, Karai?"
"N-no, Master. I will go put the ship on full alert." The Foot woman said as she left the chamber.
On the docks
Mikey and Donnie were having their hands full with the regular Foot ninjas, who were giving them a hard time until Donnie used a smoke pellet to conceal themselves and take care of them. When they were done, they hurried onto the ship and quickly met up with their brothers and father on the bridge and quickly got the ship moving.
Suddenly the lights turned on and they looked and saw Hun and the Elite ninjas. "Hello, turtles. I'll be your cruise director for the trip and I will be happy to tell you that you'll be experiencing pain. Lots of pain."
The fighting began and the turtles and Master Splinter were doing well against the elite ninjas and Hun until the brute chained up Splinter, making the Turtles drop their weapons as the hunters burged in. "Hun, if you harm them, I'll pull your spine out slowly." Sly threatened.
"You're in no position to be making threats, raccoon. Drop all your weapons and lose the armor, or your friends will all die." Hun countered.
"No my friends, do not do it. They will just kill us anyway." Splinter pleaded, knowing that it was exactly what the Shredder wanted. But the Hunters knew they couldn't let their friends and family die and complied with Hun's order.
"Good Hunters." Hun said evilly.
In Stockman's lab
Shredder/Ch'rell approached Stockman, clearly angry that this situation was getting out of control as the ship was moving. "Stockman, this situation is getting out of control. I need more warriors. How soon can you have these Foot Mechs completed?"
"Now, Shredder, this genius takes time."
"Then allow me to give you a little motivation to accelerate the process." Shredder/Ch'rell said as he got out the electric control and activated the electric circuit to cause Stockman pain, which made Karai sick. "I'm waiting." He said as he stopped.
"There are 4 Foot Mech that can function. They're incomplete but they'll do the job. And we have the world leader Foot Mechs." Stockman told him before Hun contacted them.
"Master, I have captured the turtles, the rat and all 3 hunters. I've ordered the elite to leave the Hunters alive for you but can I finish the turtles and the rat?"
"But master, I promised them their lives. Are we not honor bound to keep that promise?" Karai asked while pleading for them.
"Honor bound?! Karai, you must learn that your duty to me is far more important than your honor. And to make sure you do, you will be the one to slay the Turtles and the rat." Shredder told his adopted daughter sternly.
"As-as you wish, master." She said with reluctance before she left the chamber. When she finally got to the bridge, she saw them all on their knees and locked the door and walked up to them. "Leonardo, you and the others should never have come here. Now it has befallen me to slay you all, except for the Hunters." She said with remorse.
"So much for your word of honor, Karai. I knew from the start that we never should have trusted you!" Neyla said with anger.
"I-i am sorry, Neyla, but I must obey my Master's orders." Karai said before Nebula and Xeron busted in the room and quickly kicked Karai out of their way and freed the Hunters, who quickly donned their armor.
"Alright, Nebs and Xeron!" Mikey said, happy to see the assassins as he kicked an elite away and Sly freed him and Donnie from the rope tying their hands.
Xeron freed Leo, Raph and Master Splinter as Hun attacked Nebula with Leo's swords until Xeron kicked him down, making him drop the swords and allowing Leo to jump and catch them. The turtles and Master Splinter quick dealt with the elite ninjas while the Hunters held Karai.
Xeron quickly joined her lover against Hun. "Hello, brute,xwe see your master really has returned. But unfortunately for him, this will be the last time we fight him, but you'll be fortunate enough to still live since we want to keep hurting you a little while longer."
"I knew you 2 bitches would show up! This time I'll finally get rid of you both for good!" Hun yelled before he attacked but the assassin lovers were too fast and graceful for Hun to hit and they quickly team kicked him off the ship and into the water.
The Hunters looked at Karai before reluctantly letting her go. They all looked at her in anger before running out of the bridge. But not before Neyla activated her self-destruct device and threw it to the floor. Leo stayed behind for a little bit, giving the woman a look that said 'how could you?' while rolling his eyes.
"I'm sorry. It wasn't supposed to be this way." Karai said softly while looking away.
Leo joined the others as they ran out of the bridge and came across the Shredder/Ch'rell, with 6 of his Foot Mechs. "Hello, my enemies, I'd hoped to see you all again, especially you, Hunters."
"Ch'rell! You just don't know when to die!" Sly yelled, angry that the one who murdered his father was still alive and that Scarface's, Caiera's and Master Yoshi's spirits will never be able to rest in peace as long as Ch'rell and Thanos remained alive.
"This time it will be all of you who dies!" Ch'rell/Shredder vowed before the battle began, with the hunters taking Shredder himself. "I have waited for this, Hunters! All 3 of you will perish at my hands, just as your father did!"
Battle was even on both sides, with the Turtles, Master Splinter and the assassin lovers taking on the Foot Mechs and through their combined efforts, they easily defeated the robots before watching the fight between their Hunter friends and the Shredder/Ch'rell, noticing that the fight was just as intense as the last one but with Shredder's new armor, it was more even until Shredder managed to kick Neyla and Scar away and knock Sly to the floor.
"Goodbye, raccoon. Give my regards to your father!" Shredder/Ch'rell said with evil joy as he raised his blades to stab him through the heart as he did with Scarface all those years ago.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Nebula and Xeron yelled as they jumped toward the evil Utrom and kicked him away from Sly. "Ch'rell, you won't take another member of our family away from us again!" Nebula yelled as she kicked their most hated enemy into flammable barrels and Sly used his plasmacasters to make them explode as they all jumped off the ship as the barrels exploded and in a few minutes, the self-destruct device detonated, destroying the entire ship as the turtles, Master Splinter, the Hunters and assassin lovers swam away.
Later on when they were at the docks, Karai got to them on a speed boat, having been ordered to look for survivors. When she looked at them, she saw that they were all still angry with her. After Shredder had contacted Karai, demanding to know if the Turtles and Anti-Heroes were dead or still alive, Leo shook his head no. "Karai...don't do this." He pleaded, refusing to give up on her even if he was angry.
Karai simply answered her master back, not wanting the warriors, especially Leonardo harmed. "They've all gotten away, my Lord." She said before breaking off contact as 3 of the Turtles Hunters and Assassins and Master Splinter walked away.
But Leo stayed behind again before mouthing the words 'Thank you' while Karai nodded softly as to say. "You're welcome." Before speeding away as Leo joined the others.
There you go, my friends, the episode is complete. Next will be the Big Brawl episodes, which will have many surprises. Rate and review. See you soon, guys.
