A/N Well I got a couple of reviews/follows for my last chapter so I suppose I'll continue it. Here's ch 15 and I hope you all enjoy it.

Ch 15 A Change in Plans

Michelangelo was jerked back into reality when he heard the dungeon door open. Getting to his feet the youngest turtle wiped away his tear and glared at Bradford, who had entered the dungeon along with two Foot Soldiers. "Time's up freak," Bradford said, cracking his knuckles as he began to open the cell.

"I won't let you hurt my parents," Michelangelo said, his voice so low Bradford didn't even hear him. Suddenly Michelangelo jumped high in the air, surprising the brown bearded man. Thinking quickly the orange masked turtle grabbed the back of Bradford's pants waist and flipped the man over his head and into the two Foot Soldiers. The three me went crashing to the ground and the Foot Soldiers were knocked out. Grabbing the chain that Bradford had dropped Michelangelo hit the older man hard in the back of his head, knocking him out cold. Grabbing the keys and chain Michelangelo dragged the two Foot Soldiers in and ran out of the cell, locking it behind him. Unlocking the dungeon door Michelangelo peaked his head out and looked to make sure no one else was coming. Looking up the youngest turtle saw some rafters he could hide in. Using a pole that was nearby Michelangelo climbed up and got into the rafters and used his stealth to make his way out. He soon found himself over the Shredder's room. Shredder was down below along with Karai and Tiger Claw.

"What the Hell is taking Bradford so long?" Karai grumbled, putting her hands on her hips.

"Tiger Claw go check," Shredder ordered.

"Yes Master," Tiger Claw said as he exited the room. Michelangelo began to make his way to the exit but what he heard next made him stop in his tracks

"Father may I ask you something?" Karai asked.

"You may speak," Shredder said.

"Forgive me for asking but I have to know," Karai began. "What's so special about Tang Shen? I mean from what I remember of her she really pretty and nice and all of that but..."

"Tang Shen should have been your mother Karai," Shredder interrupted. "And she would have been of it wasn't for Hamato Yoshi. He stole Shen from me. He stole the life that should have been mine."

"But you had a good life Father," Karai pointed out. "I mean you met my mother and fell in love with her and had me. Surly that counts for something."

"I never loved your mother Karai," Shredder declared. Karai's eyes went wide with surprise when she heard this. "Yuna knew this from the beginning," Shredder said. "The sole reason I was with her was to have a child. Having you was the only good thing that happened in my life. But that will soon change. Once I give Shen this serum she will be mine forever." Shredder held the vial with the mind control drug in it

"Not if I can help it," Michelangelo whispered. Grabbing the chain Michelangelo moved to a proper position. Swinging the chain hard the orange masked turtle succeeded in knocking the vial out of Shredder's hand causing it to shatter on the ground. "Yes!" Michelangelo cried out. But he wasn't paying attention when Shredder grabbed the chain and yanked hard. Letting out a cry Michelangelo fell out of the rafters, landing hard on his arm. A crack was heard and a lighting bolt of pain shot through him. Michelangelo groaned in pain before being lifted harshly off the ground. The youngest turtle gulped in fear and his brown eyes went wide as he found himself staring into the furious eyes of the Shredder.

"You will pay for that freak," Shredder growled as he pulled his fist back, blades extended to strike. But Michelangelo thought quickly and grabbed the chain Shredder was still holding and pulled it hard. This caught Shredder off guard and he lost his footing just long enough for Michelangelo to jerk himself loose. Thinking quickly the freckled faced turtle jumped back into the rafters. Or at least he tried to. Karai grabbed his ankle just as he grabbed the beam.

"You're not going anywhere freak!" she snarled as she tried to pull Michelangelo down.

"Ugh let go of me!" Michelangelo cried out, kicking Karai hard enough so she loosened her grip. This gave Michelangelo room to jerk his foot loose and climb back up in the rafters.

"Oh no you don't!" Karai growled as she climbed into the rafters and went after Michelangelo. Shredder was watching all of this and he left the room to gather Tiger Claw, who by now had freed Bradford and the Foot Soldiers from the dungeon.

"Master..." Tiger Claw began. But he was cut off by Shredder's command.

"Block all the exits," he ordered. "The turtle does not leave here!"

"Yes Master," the group said as they dispersed.

"And Bradford," Shredder said, causing the brown beard man to look at him. "We will discuss your punishment later."

"Yes Master," Bradford said with a bow as he raced out the door.

Karai was crawling through the rafters gaining ground on Michelangelo. "When I catch you you are dead freak!" Karai snarled as she brushed the cobwebs away from her face. But suddenly Karai slipped and lost her balance and began to fall. But suddenly someone caught her by her wrist and pulled her back up. Karai's brown eyes went wide when she found herself looking into the face of Michelangelo. "That was dumb of you," she declared as she got ready to strike the turtle.

"Karai I don't wanna fight with you," Michelangelo declared, holding up his hands. "Specially not up here. I just wanna help my family. I can't let your dad hurt my parents. He's almost killed us once and I won't let him try again."

"What the Hell are you talking about?!" Karai demanded. "My father never tried to kill anyone."

"Like Hell he didn't!" Michelangelo hissed, glaring at Karai. "He burned down our house back in Japan while we were inside!"

"That's a lie!" Karai shouted. "My father would never..."

"He did!" Michelangelo shouted back. "And there were witnesses that saw him do it! My father and brother nearly died that night! And we had to flee to America because of him! And that's why we're what we are today! Because of your damn father! And he's gonna pay big time for it!" With that Michelangelo let out a furious snarl and shoved past Karai, who was staring after the turtle with wide eyes.

"I can't believe this," she muttered, shaking her head as she watched Michelangelo make his escape. "Father tried to murder innocent children. I knew he was a bit unhinged but I never thought he was a cold monster." With these thoughts Karai climbed down from the rafters and went to meet back with her father.

A few minutes later Karai had caught up with the Shredder, who was talking with Tiger Claw off to the side. When Shredder saw Karai returning without Michelangelo his expression darkened. "Where is the turtle Karai?" Shredder demanded, walking towards his daughter.

"He got away," Karai informed her father. "He was faster than I thought he would be."

"No matter," Shredder said, surprising Karai. "Haru has given me another vial of the mind control drug. Once we meet back Tang Shen and Hamato Yoshi at the docks Shen will be mine."

"But Father once she sees that we don't have the turtle she'll never agree to anything," Karai pointed out.

"We'll have to act fast," Shredder declared. "It is nearly midnight. We are going to the docks." With that Bradford opened the door and Karai and Shredder got inside. Bradford slammed the door and climbed into the driver's seat. Tiger Claw was already sitting in the passenger side. Without another word Bradford took off, heading for the docks. As they were driving Karai was staring at the Shredder and thinking about what Michelangelo had said before.

"I can't let Father hurt Tang Shen or Hamato Yoshi," she thought. "But how do I do that without betraying my father? I'll just have to come up with a plan and fast. I just hope I can do it." With these thoughts Karai spent the remainder of the drive deep in thought.

A/N well folk there you have it ch 15 complete. Reviews are welcomed as always.
