Kirā's POV

Hah! This is going even better than I thought it would!

I only made up the Canidae Project to distract Marcel and his little posse from finding out that we mind controlled their friends. It was easy, really. I made a deal with Oruku Saki, or as the turtles call him, the Shredder.

I agreed to help him get rid of the turtles, and if I succeeded, he'd let me join his little squad. I simply borrowed a few brain worms from this mutant fly in a pink sweater. He explained to me that, "With my mind control serum coursing through their brains, resistance is futile!"

Meaning I can tell them what I want them to do, and they'll do it with no hesitation!

I turn around to talk to the leader of this pack. He calls himself King Magnus. He has red and pink fur. And he's heartless! Just like me!

I laugh an evil laugh as I walk closer to him. "I sense that the plan is going well, Kirā?" Magnus asks me. "Perfectly." I say to him, displaying a toothy smile that could scare anyone. "Excellent." Magnus says. "Soon, once I become a member of Saki's army, and add your pack along with it, we'll be unstoppable." I explain to him.

"You better." Magnus growls. "You know what'll happen if you disappoint the Shredder. If you disappoint me." You don't want to let any of these bad guys down. Anyone who lets Magnus down will be severely punished. The same thing could go for me.

"Oh, don't you worry, Magnus," I say as I prepare to take off. "I have everything under control."

I fly away to catch up with the turtles, when I see a female Pyroar walking alongside a rooftop. Ah, Marcel's girlfriend, Cyrus. One of the beings that Marcel cares for the most. If anything happens to her, Marcel would come to her aid in a heartbeat.

Perfect for the next part of my plan.

I order one of Magnus's Mightyena to attack her when I gave the signal. I land in front of her, and she growls at me. "What do you want?" She hisses at me. "I just want to talk, fire queen."

"About what?"

"Oh, nothing serious. Keeping the city in check like a good girl?" She gives me a look. "Yes?" She says. "Good, good. I mean, a bloodthirsty mutant like myself could never protect an entire city the way you do. It's astonishing, really."

Cyrus gives me a look like she's suspicious about something. "You're being awfully nice to me. Are you planning something?" She asks me. I refuse to tell her. "No, no, of course not."

I flick my tail, signaling the Mightyena to start moving. "A bad guy has to be nice sometimes, right?" I ask her. "I guess." She says with little confidence. I raise my tail and point to her, signaling him to attack.

"What are you doing with your tail—" She was about to ask me, but the Mightyena tackles her. I watch with no emotion as she gets badly beat up by the Mightyena. I signal my tail for him to stop. He pants and runs away.

Cyrus has scratch marks and bite marks everywhere. This ought to get Marcel riled up. "Are you okay?" I ask her in a fake worried tone. "Yeah, I'm fine." She says, struggling to stand up. "Here. Allow me to take you to Marcel." I say politely. I can't wait to hear the curse words come out of Marcel's mouth once he sees his girlfriend's condition.

Marcel's POV

Kirā was nowhere to be found when we got back to the lair. Or on the way back. I hand Rockwell a bowl of soup. "Your escape was very fortuitous. Shredder is not one easily eluded," Splinter explains. How did they escape, anyway? "I'm just glad you two are okay. But there's something off about you two," I say to them.

""They did do something to us. Yes, it's all coming back now. We were being experimented on by Kirā," Rockwell explains. I can somewhat relate. I was experimented on the Kraang once. It didn't end well. For them, anyway. "He kept rambling on about something called the Canidae Project," Slash says.

"Somethings telling me that the Canidae Project is just an excuse so he can cover up what treachery he's been doing." Pātonā says. "Not likely. He claims that he spends almost all of his time working on the Canidae Project. He can't have kidnapped you." I say.

"Oh my God..." Raphael says, looking at something behind me.

"Anyway, it looked like he's run out of steam suddenly. Bad guys can turn good." Raphael's face didn't change. "You okay? You look like you're out of breath." I ask him.

"Yeah, I'm out of breath. And it looks like I'm not the only one." Raphael says, pointing to something behind me.

"What're you talking about now?" I look behind me to see the body of an almost mutilated female Pyroar. She had trouble standing, but she was alive.

Cyrus.

"Cyrus! What have they done to you? What the hell kind of evil bastard done to you?!" I couldn't help but break down in tears. Cyrus returns my hug. "Who is she?" I hear Slash ask.

"Cyrus is Marcel's girlfriend, and, brace yourself. Marcel can get a little foul mouthed in situations like these."Pātonā explains.

"I'm gonna kill him! I'm gonna hamburger him! I'll tear his balls off and stuff them down his throat! What kind of heartless bastard would do this?! Who?! Who?! Tell me!" I yell. Furious, and without thinking, I whirl to Kirā. "Was it you? No, you were busy. Well then who did it? Who was it?!"

"Damare!"

I turn to see Kijani's stern face and shocked expressions on everyone else's. I sigh and wipe my tears. "I started cursing, didn't I?" I ask, not requiring an answer. "You did." Leonardo says anyway.

I sniff, still upset, and walk to Leonardo. "I'm sorry." Now I'm openly crying in front of everyone. Leonardo gives me a one armed hug. "It's okay." He says, rubbing my back. "I was attacked by a Mightyena." Cyrus wheezes out. My crying instantly stops as I turn to Kirā. "I though you said the population was declining."

"That I did. I did not say that they were extinct. Yet." Kirā confirms. I face Slash. "Are you sure he's the one who captured you?" I ask him.

"He did." Slash says. "No, I believe you, I believe you, it's just..." I trail off. "Anyway, he had these little worm creatures, and then... and then..." Slash trails off. I snap my fingers in his face. No reaction.

Splinter was about to get him some water, when Slash attacks him with his mace, knocking him down. "Hevi kabisa, Splinter!" I exclaim. I rush to transform into my secondary mutation (This isn't introduced until Shellacne. His muscles tripled in size, he's at least four times his normal size, and the end of his tail is shaped like a mace).

I roar and body slam him. "What on Earth do you think you're doing?" I ask Slash. "Splinter must be destroyed!" He says. Is he mind controlled or something? He wouldn't just say that.

I grab my tail and swing it around like a pair of nunchucks. When Slash tries to attack me with his mace, I wrap my tail around it and throw it in another direction. He gets up to try to grab it, but I stop him. "Nuh, uh, uh. You wanna fight like an animal? Let's fight like animals."

"With pleasure." Slash growls before we wrestle each other. I was winning, of course. I launch him off of me to see that Rockwell was going crazy, too. "Hey!" Rockwell turns to me. "Snap out of it! Why are you doing this?" I ask him.

"It is the will of the master," he says. Master? Before I knew anything else, I'm hit with a large fist to the head, and I black out.


"Marcel, wake up!"

I finally woke up to see Leonardo's desperate eyes. "What happened?" I ask. "Slash knocked you out." Pātonā explains. "How tragic. You were attacked by your own friends. Do you see now why friends are not an essential part of life?"

"Hey, I don't know what crazy world yourself living in, but if you don't have any friends, you'll be a lonely son of a-" Leonardo covers my mouth. "Gun. I was gonna say gun." I say, uncovering my mouth.

Slash picks me up roughly. "Magnus desires one of the turtles," he says. Magnus? "Over my dead-ass body!" I retort. "I volunteer to go kick his butt right after I kick yours," Raphael says, charging towards Slash. He throws a smoke bomb at Raphael, knocking him out. No...

Eventually, after a car chase, Slash and Rockwell got away with Raphael. I don't believe it... They took my best friend. Kirā went with them, hopefully to stop them. At least we know where they're going. Whoever this Magnus guy is, we'll take him down.

Kirā's POV

Time for phase two of my plan!

Raphael finally wakes up to find his left strapped down. "Slash, Rockwell, snap out of it!" He shouts. "See, here's the problem, terrapin." His eyes widen. "Kirā!" He exclaims. "No one can hear your cries for help." I finish my sentence.

King Magnus walks next to me, laughing. "Who are you?" Raphael asks. "I'm Magnus. Kirā here borrowed one of the Shredder's brain worms here, see? Enjoy your last few moments of free will. Because when you wake up, you'll be our servant."

"And once I finish you and the other off, Magnus's pack and I will become members of Shredder's gang. We'll be unstoppable. And with the serum coursing through your brain, resistance is futile!" I finish, cackling. Raphael, however, wasn't impressed.

"I knew you were up to something!" He says to me. "Ah, but Marcel doesn't. Not yet. He decided to trust the villain over his own friends. In a way, it's his fault you're in this little pickle right now."

"He'll come through! I know he will!" Raphael says. This guy won't quit. Excellent. "Oh, we'll see. You, however, will not." The giant turtle holds his head as I place a brain worm on his head. He screams and falls unconscious once it enters his brain. I grin evilly the entire time. Now we wait for Leonardo and friends to come.
