Payment

"What have you done?" growled a deep voice.

"Master Shredder I can explain-"

"I've heard your explanation before. You described your plan to me in detail and I paid you the respect of hearing you out" continued the Shredder from his seat in the throne room of the Foot tower.

Before him knelt Hun, the muscle bound fool trembled before him as he recounted what had happened with the turtles and the rat. Hun knew what the price was for failure and the Shredder would ensure he paid for his mistakes.

"You will pay for your error of judgement in this endeavor Hun. You had the rat but didn't kill him, you sought to trap the turtles yet they escaped you twice. Your foolishness has caused damage to the Foot tower and injured many of my Foot soldiers. Your plan failed and in doing so you have failed the Foot."

Hun had not moved his eyes from the floor as the Shredder delivered his verdict, failure meant death in the Foot and Hun was well aware of his failure.

Rising from his seat the Shredder slowly walked towards the prone form of Hun. "You have been a loyal servant for many years Hun and your work is usually very impressive and it is that which saves you now"

The Shredder couldn't help the smirk that crossed his face as Hun glanced up at him and the tension left him somewhat.

"Elite" called the shredder as his four elite guards appeared around Hun "You will pay the price for failure this time Hun and you will then continue to serve me as you always have. You can consider this your final chance" finished Shredder.

"I understand Master" whispered Hun as he allowed the elite soldiers to drag him out of the throne room and to whatever punishment he would be subjected to.

Returning to his seat in the throne room, the shredder removed his helmet and placed it next to him. He had been furious when he returned to find that Hun had failed to capture and kill the green freaks, and was even more annoyed to find Hun had the rat at his mercy and dragged out its death for so long the turtles were able to reclaim him. All over some petty revenge he wanted on the rat.

If Hun had managed to capture the turtles, Shredder would have happily let him tear the rat to pieces, but Hun had been overconfident, complicated things too much and lost sight of the true goal. Shredder's goal. Through his obsession with the rodent, Hun had forgotten that first and foremost he served the Shredder and the Shredder was only too happy to remind him of that.

There was some positive things to take from Hun's failure and that was the rat was seriously injured and based on the details Hun had provided as likely to struggle to recover if he was still alive which made him much less of a threat to the Foot Clan, but now the Shredder was back in New York it was time to show how things should be done and he would start by destroying the turtles.
