Chadbunger: Have Jackie and V team up with the turtles to get the chip and maybe (although I'd prefer he lives) Jackie takes a shot meant for one of the turtles/Casey/April or V and with his final breath he gives V the chip who then goes with the turtles back to his house or a safehouse in the city or something then Donnie finds out what the chip is supposed to do and after a bit of digging they find Johnny like he is in the game. Then they all agree to help each other take out the shredder and arisaka. With the lovely shark girls helping out of course. And maybe have them download Johnny into a kraang droid so he can have a body again. Of course these are just ideas feel free to either use em or don't up to you guys/gals. Also is it weird that I found that sex scene kinda hot? And want to see more of them. Does this mean there's something wrong with me?
ThermalsniperN7: Hm... That bit about downloading Johnny into a Kraang android body sounds like a great idea. Does Jackie really kick the bucket in that mission, though?
Dragon Emperor0: True. With the Turtles helping them out? I doubt it.
Kaiju Avenger: I'm really glad that I was able to help with Kujira's appearance design. I'm really happy that you liked it. I'm really excited to see her make her appearance. I do wonder what her personality will be like? Will she be regal, adventurous, battle crazy, all the above? And what accent will she have? British or maybe Japanese? And then there are her clothes. What will she go for? I could see her go for something that's like; a rocker fused with an amazon warrior look. And for her hair; maybe long black hair, with glowing green streaks. I'm so very excited for Kujira!
ThermalsniperN7: Japanese accent should do. I can also see the rocker-amazon look working for Kujira. And her hair? Black with glowing green steaks definitely works. Especially with it being long.
Dragon Emperor0: I can see that happening. We should probably save Introducing her when Truth Quest comes out.
ThermalsniperN7: True.
Question Dude: Wait, isn't Raiko the youngest of her siblings? She said here that she was the oldest, but their mother died before she even gave birth to Raiko. How can Raiko be the oldest here?
Dragon Emperor0: Oldest in terms of being mutated the longest. It slightly bumped up her physical age a bit.
Question Dude: By the way, where did you get the picture for this story? The one with the cute girl holds the shark plush toy.
Dragon Emperor0: Internet, closest thing I could find to match Raiko.
Story Artist: In regards to the Relic heist: First off, V and Jackie need to bring V's harem along. Raiko's electricity powers can take out guards(Thor and Raiden styles) and security technology(like cameras). Ebony's shadow powers can turn the group invisible or poison her enemies. And Ivory's bone armor makes her bulletproof and her big teeth can tear through metal! These girls would be extremely helpful in the heist. And with the Turtles coming to Night City, to investigate the Shredder, they would probably go to the same place as the Relic is being kept at. The two groups would probably meet by accident, likely from Michelangelo's part(LOL), long before the heist went down. Which would leads up to both groups in the room that V and Jackie are staying at. There, both groups do some quick introductions and questions. Like, why the Turtles are here and what is V and Jackie doing, along with the mutant sharks. This leads to both groups believing that what they all are looking for is in the same location. To not only get the Relic, but also figure out why the Foot is working with Arasaka. So, they team-up, but since they are not criminals, the Turtles warn V that if they do something they don't like, they will take them down. With his understanding. So, during the time until the heist goes down, the teams get to know each other. Which Mikey does well with the other mutants, wanting to introduce them to pizza, comics, and monster movies(nice reference for the new monster shark in the DLC). While Donatello works together with T-Bug through his T-Phone, going over the security and the Militech the heist begins. The Turtles sneak through just fine...because they are ninjas, obviously. And the shark girls make quick work of any issues. They make it to Yorinobu's penthouse, where they find Relic and heavy encryption evidence on whatever the Foot are doing with Arasaka. But, they get the alert that Yorinobu has come back up to his penthouse. So, V and Jackie hide inside the TV(like in canon), the Turtles become one with the shadows, and Ebony uses her ability to turn herself and sisters invisible. There, they all witness Yorinobu making deals with Shredder over the phone. Then later, witness Yorinobu killing his father, Saburo. Soon, the alarm goes off. Donnie tells T-Bug to disconnect from the system, saving her life, while they all figure out what to do next. They agree to split up, divide the security force among themselves. Both groups fight their way out, fighting security and Foot ninja. Raiko brings gunships down with her lighting strikes, Ivory saves Jackie from being shot with her bone armor(and maybe the Relic's container?), and Ebony uses her abilities to poison and disorientate large groups. V's group made it to their car. And drive off just as Hun and Adam Smasher arrive. V calls the Turtles and tells them to go to his home and wait for them until they return. Then they can discuss what all just happened and what to do next. Until then, V's group make their way to Dexter. So, if you needed an idea for the Relic Heist, here you go. Sorry if it's not good or too long. Did my best with it. Hope for the next chapter soon.
ThermalsniperN7: Hm... Well, it's certainly an idea. The girls will definitely be a huge help.
Dragon Emperor0: Let's put a pin in that one. Could definitely come in handy.
Writing Warrior: Will V and his girls get any arch-enemies? I can see V's archenemy being Armaggon from Mutants in Manhattan. Especially since, V has beautiful shark girls with him. He probably sees V unworthy to be with such undersea goddesses and wants them for himself. Since he is the so called "king." As for the girls, it would be interesting to see some of the apex animals from the game to become mutants.
Orca and Killer Croc from DC would make great mutant orca and alligator opponents. They could be Raiko and Ivory's enemies.
Jaguar Bane from "Batman vs TMNT" would be a good choice too. Bai Tza or Vilgax might work out too. Just a thought to consider. I didn't say Bebop or Rocksteady because I figured they would fight the Turtles more. Wanted to give V their own baddies and rogues.
Dragon Emperor0: It seems the reader got him confused with the Mercenary Armageddon. Zanramon would be the most likely to take the girls for himself. Armageddo's a shark alien, but he's no king.
ThermalsniperN7: Should Armageddon try to take the girls from V if Zanramon paid him to?
Dragon Emperor0: I'd say he'll try, and have really painful regrets about it later. Like say if Zanramon were to send Armageddon after V and the girls to bring him the girls and kill V, that could make them hate him. And if Armageddon decides to keep them for himself—because shark women—that'll make them hate them both.
ThermalsniperN7: Either way, those two are slated for death.
Dragon Emperor0: Yeah.
Romance Breeding: This was a good chapter. It was very moving and sweet with V's first time with Raiko and her sisters. I loved it all.
Although, I'm always excited and happy with a good impregnation. I feel like it's WAY too soon to start making babies. I look forward for when the time is right for them. But, with the heist, mutants, the Foot, and the military searching for the sharks, now is just not the time, unfortunately. But, I'll be happy when that time comes. Speaking of, with Ivory and Ebony unique body structures, they can make for some interesting positions. With Ivory's size, she might not be able to ride him, but he can ride her. And if in "doggy-style" and he grabs her tail and pulls like a handle, it should be pleasurable. And with Ebony's small size, V could do her standing up without any difficulty. Especially in the "full nelson" position. With her sisters seeing her pleasured face. Very hot!
ThermalsniperN7: Pulling on Ivory's tail while V plows her and a stand up session with Ebony? Those are good ideas.
SMASH UP: So, the fourth sister, "Kujira"? She is being held captive by the military to be weaponized, correct? Are V and the girls going to work on a plan to get into the base and rescue her? Especially before The Foot catch wind of it and enslaves her! Not only that, there is no telling what the government will do after they learn that V has been harboring the Mega Sharks that have become humanoids. And after they rescue Kujira, V and the girls would need a new place to live. Like, maybe Judy's lake house, an underwater cave linked to Night City's sewers(so they can visit the Turtles and go to NC), or a log cabin in the woods next to a lake. And Jackie can act as V's inside man in the Navy and what's going on in Night City.
ThermalsniperN7: If V were to bust into the base and get Kujira out, he'd be committing treason. Then again, I guess he's already doing that along with Jackie. Plans for executing all of this are up in the air until the DLC drops. Those location suggestions sound really good, though.
Dragon Emperor0: Yeah. It'll be a bit.
MonsterLOVER: To be clear, I was curious if one of V's girls would be like Torhu, personality-wise. Fierce, powerful, passionate, protective, and loving of her mate. Not Tohru herself. Now that I think about it, I wonder if the last shark girl in V's harem; the one from the upcoming "Truth Quest" DLC. What will her body structure and figure be like? You know: breasts, waists, butt, etc. I can see it being like Lucoa. A body so impossibly perfect and great that it should be impossible and unacceptable! Largest boobs, perfect hourglass figure, right sized butt, wonderful birthing hips, etc.
ThermalsniperN7: A figure so perfect it's impossible and unacceptable? How can we turn that down?
Dragon Emperor0: No argument here.
IDW Comics: Me? I always thought that Tohru was bisexual. She fell in love with Kobayashi because she saved her life, gave her a place to stay, and got to know her personally. I'm positive that even if Kobayashi was male, Tohru would still love him/her. Besides, this is "FANFICTION"! You can do almost anything with these stories. I'm just saying. Anyway, with Kyle being a marine biologist, it would be interesting to see him have a marine/fish girl. Like Meroune from "Monster Musume."
ThermalsniperN7: Yeah, giving Kyle a marine girl would go well with his marine biologist side.
Dragon Emperor0: Lucky for you guys, Cinder is an underwater Volcano dragon.
-Crawfish Bay Entranceway, Port Clovis-
As morning rose over Crawfish Bay, the silhouette of a very large and vaguely turtle shaped object glided through the water at a moderately quick speed. As it entered the waters of the bay, it surfaced, revealing itself to be the Turtle Sub.
"Okay, we're here." Donatello said as he looked around Crawfish Bay. "Did they literally decide to do nothing about that cargo ship?" He wondered with a raised eyebrow as he looked at the ruined vessel.
"Shipwrecks are rarely pulled up in any area." April shrugged.
"Place looks pretty clean to me." Raph said as they submerged to keep looking. "What the Shell is that?" He questioned as he pointed at what looked to be a glowing iridescent trail of bio electric ooze trailing from the entrance of a grotto to elsewhere.
"Hang on. Let me scan it." The purple masked turtle replied before getting to work. Once it was done, he was surprised by the results. "I think this belongs to the Maneater." He said, eyes wide.
"How do you figure that, Don?" Leo asked.
"It's a mutagen signature with traces of Bull Shark DNA mixed with a lot of DNA from bioluminescent species and even some Electric Eel DNA." The brains of the group said as he looked at the results.
"This grotto looks like a starting point. Can you get a lock on it so we can follow the trail?" The blue mask leader asked.
"Yeah. Mikey, where exactly did our shark start off at?" Donnatello asked his brother.
"Oh that's easy! Fawtick Bayou! It's just north of here!" The Turtle replies. "The grottoes are all connected so why not go through it?" He asked.
"If we can map the network, that should help." Donnie nodded.
"I guess we should probably get the mapping drones ready." April remarked as she started preparing the drones.

Meanwhile at V and Jackie's house, the sunlight shone through the automated blinds of the man's window as his radio alarm clock started playing "Night City" b to try and stir the four sleeping figures awake.
V let out a groan as he tried to shut it off, but Raiko beat him to the punch before she went back to snuggling with her shared mate. As much as the man wanted to stay like this, he knew he had to get up.
"Girls, hate to say it, but we gotta get up." He told his lovers. 'Should I call them my wives, actually?' He wondered. His reason for thinking this?
Human practices don't apply to sharks. So to be perfectly honest, he wasn't entirely sure how he was supposed to see them now that they were technically mated to him.
"I should probably go take a shower…" he sighed as he noticed that he was still covered in dry sweat and bodily fluids. However as he tried to get up though…
"Nope!" All three shark girls said as Ebony and Ivory grabbed him by the neck and waist with their tails and Raiko hugged him as they pulled him back down. The blue shark woman sank her teeth into his neck and shoulder to give him tazing love bites.
"Ngh!" The soldier grunted from the tazing. "Come on, we literally stink. We need a shower." He told them, hoping to get them to release him.
"Five more minutes." Ivory smiled as she hugged both him and Raiko with her big arms from his right side.
"Besides…" Ebony purred as she made her fingers walk up his chest. "I'm pretty sure your 'little soldier' down there is ready for the morning roll call." She grinned as she felt the man's rod stand at attention and smack her ass.
"You three are going to be insatiable at this rate." V chuckled despite himself.
"I don't hear a 'no'." The woman sang. "Does that mean you'd like a morning blow job?" She asked as she jerked him off under the sheets, Ivory fondled his balls, and Raiko continued to suck on his neck.
"If you'd be so willing." Her shared mate nodded with a smile. Sliding under the covers, Ebony made herself eye level with the ten inch monster that violated her the previous night, and dragged her tongue along its shaft.
"Soooo tasty~!" She moaned in delight as she rubbed her face against it, his male scent hitting her sensitive nose and causing her to be filled with lust. "Such a musky scent! Oh god, it makes me want you even more~! OM!" She moaned before she took his entire dick into her mouth.
"Wha-!" V gasped in pleasure as he was deepthroated. Ebony smiled as she started bobbing her head up and down and shoving him all the way down her throat again.
(About five minutes later)
The girls were now all taking a shower with V and getting clean, with the Nomad being fully awake and slightly drained from Ebony having just sucked him dry. Luckily the shower was big enough for about six people, so it was an easy fit.
As they stepped out of the shower and started drying off, Jackie called him. "Yo hermano! When ya done getting ready, come on down to the Chinese Stand downtown. Gotta surprise for ya." The voice message said as the man played it.
"Huh. Wonder what Jackie's got planned." He mused as he finished drying off and got dressed.
"Who's Jackie?" Ivory asked.
"One of V's friends. Don't worry- he can be trusted." Raiko replied as she dried herself off.
"Hey, think we should get image filter blockers?" Ebony asked as she got dressed.
"That's probably a good idea. Good news is I know just the Ripperdoc who can fix you up." V nodded as he got himself dressed before they all left in V's car.
After a few minutes of driving later they reached where Jackie was waiting, and as he turned to them, he seemed surprised at what he saw.
"Whoa, Hey! Man and women of the hour! Jeez, it's about time you got here, I worked up an appetite just waiting for ya." The bruiser stated as he sat at a Chinese food stand eating some lo mein and an egg roll.
"Sorry. Got held up this mornin'." The ex-Nomad shrugged as they all sat down with him, the girls ordering breakfast. "By the way, the new faces are Ebony and Ivory, Raiko's sisters." He added.
"No shit? Ha! Lucky us then!" Jackie laughed at the fortune of having three shark girls around, especially since their CO said he'd be willing to listen to them should they meet.
"You said something about a surprise earlier. Am I remembering right, or just have a brain fart?" V asked as he and Raiko shared a dish of Eel Lo Mein.
"You're remembering right, even if you forget shit sometimes." The bruiser joked, getting a small glare from the bioelectric shark woman. "But it just so happens, that I just booked us a sweet ass J-O-B." He added.
"Really? From who?" V questioned as he ate.
"Oh no one special, just a little someone known as Dexter Disaun." Jackie replied, causing V to almost choke on his coffee and Raiko to nearly spit out her Jasmine tea.
"Shut the fuck up, are you serious?!" V coughed.
"Oh yeah brother, the top fixer of Night fucking City! Fat-assed Black Jesus of the Afterlife, Three hundred pounds of partially gold plated cool." His friend grinned happily, getting an odd look from Ivory at his choice of words.
Ebony meanwhile couldn't help but grin, like Raiko her human form took the form of a black woman with purple hair and elf ears. People often compared her to dark elves, so hearing a fixer have such a moniker tickled her funny bone.
"How'd you even get this job? Cuz I don't think we're the type to be fingered by Dex. Ya know, since he ain't exactly a fan of the military." The Nomad noted.
"T-Bug was the one who hooked us up. He's already met me, but he wants a word with you." The bruiser replied.
"Why me? You and T-Bug draw straws without me?" The man asked.
"Oh don't worry V, we know you didn't get the short end of the stick." Ebony told him reassuringly, kissing him on the cheek.
"Thanks, love." The man said with a smile. This got a raised eyebrow from Jackie.
"Am I missing something?" He asked as he ate some of his noodles.
"I'll tell you when we aren't surrounded by a dozen people." V replied. "Besides, what's the gig? We meant to get out in one piece?" He asked.
"Our lord and savior wants to tell you himself, hence why you're gonna meet him. No pressure or anything but it's all riding on you, ese." The bruiser replied.
"Great…" The former wanderer sighed. "Anyway, where was Dexter all this time?" He then asked.
"Word is he was taking a vacation for the past two years. No one's seen or heard of him since, till now at least." Jackie replied.
"Two years? That's exile, not vacation." Raiko chimed in.
"Yeah, I second that." Ivory nodded.
"What was he doing? Jerking off to holo porn and shoving pizzas?" Ebony asked.
"Your guess is as good as mine, chica. Now come on, we'll need to do something while we wait for Dex to call us." Jackie told them.
"Good, need to head to Vik's today anyway." V nodded.

-Fawtick Bayou, Port Clovis-
Meanwhile in Fawtick Bayou, the Turtles we're exploring the shallow waters by using the Turtle Sub's air boat mode. And they just found the first stop on their trail following Raiko's signature as a pup.
What was it you ask? A giant tub stopper in the middle of the bayou floor.
"... I honestly thought this was a prop in the show." Mikey admitted after processing what he was seeing.
"One can only imagine how much hair one would lose if one got caught in it." Splinter noted as he stroked down his fur a bit.
Continuing on, the next landmark was a sunken pontoon airboat that had three skeletons with rifles in it. "Someone should have taken a gun safety class." Trip Westhaven said.
"Uh… Okay?" Casey uttered in confusion, not seeing the point here.
"No wonder this place is abandoned, it's completely unsafe." April noted as they continued to the next area.
"Let's not forget about the catfish overpopulation." Leo commented. They continued to find more and more of these landmarks—including a recent memorial to Rosie the alligator where her skeleton was laid to rest in a cypress coffin—as they left the bayou and arrived in Dead Horse Lake… and were immediately disgusted by what they saw.
"Okay, now this is disgusting." Raph remarked with a scowl as he looked at the murky polluted water on the other side of the glass.
Continuing forward they soon came across a sunken flamingo boat which had two skeletons in it. "Until local police can settle a dispute on jurisdiction, these two will remain a popular attraction for selfie seeking snorkelers." The narrator said.
"What… Why is there even a dispute to begin with?!" The redheaded woman of the group questioned in disbelief.
"This reminds me of a case my uncle Joey worked on back in '78, there was a homicide on the bridge between New York and Jersey and the two Jersey cops kept arguing with Joey and his partner Stevie about who had jurisdiction over the case since the body was right in the middle of the borderline." Casey said thoughtfully. "Took at least a week for them to figure it out." He added, getting odd looks from everyone else.
"I'm almost afraid to wonder how long this case has been open." Mikey said with a shiver as he looked at the skeletons.
"Hmmm… Donatello, can you analyze the water quality of the lake? I feel that it is far worse than it looks." Splinter requested.
"Sure." He nodded as they continued finding landmarks, from the absurd to the oddly hilarious, and the gross. "... Great Scott! It's worse than the East River!" He gasped.
"Wait, that's possible?" Raph asked in disbelief before looking at the results and reeling his head back in shock. "How are the animals here surviving?!" He exclaimed.
"The groupers around the old Horizon industry reactor complex and the barracudas at trash island often live off a steady diet of radioactively albinoized prey as well as hypodermic needles and used pregnancy tests." The narrator said as several Albino groupers, Barracudas, catfish, Turtles and even a few albino alligators swam by.
"How have no environmental groups noticed what's wrong with this lake?!" April growled in disgust.
"One word: Unreliability of reality TV." Raph stated.
(Elsewhere)
After getting the girls their upgrades, V was busy walking over to Gramsci Burgers, where Dex was waiting in his limo. As he climbed inside, there sat a heavyset black man with dreads, curly beard, red shades, a gold plated mechanical arm, and was dressed in a pimp suit.
"Yo Mr. V, a pleasure." The man said as he exhaled from his cigarette, filling the already smoke filled car. V was silently glad he had filters in his respiratory system to help with tbe smoke.
"Dexter Disaun, in the flesh. Ample indeed." V smirked.
"Heh, alright." He nodded as he faced the driver. "Let's roll." He told the driver. "A question Mr. V, would you rather live to old age, ripe, active, surrounded by family and smelling slightly of urine?" The man questioned, facing the Nomad. "Or go out in a blaze of glory smelling of pansies while never seeing your thirtieth?" He continued.
"Oh, I think that's already pretty damn clear. I'm already doing something that could cost me my military career if it ever came to light." V chuckled. He wasn't kidding, either. He knew that if his superiors found out that he and Jackie were harboring three sharks that they wanted to weaponize, his career would be over. If… When that happened, he would stand by his girls through thick and thin.
"So, quiet life then?" The man asked.
"If it's possible, I don't see why not." He nodded. "Got three girls to take care of, after all, so I gotta be top game." He added.
"Well now, I guess I should be making sure you go back to them in one piece." Dexter chuckled.
"That'd be very much appreciated." V nodded.
"A'light, now listen closely. Scanning a serious job now, plain gargantuan compared to scratching up a scav haunt." The fixer explained.
"Hang on. I have a question of my own, now. Why all this, Dex? Why me in particular?" V questioned, wondering why he was picked specifically. "You coulda had Jackie sitting here, or T-Bug. So why me?" He continued.
The amply proportioned rich man took a long drag of his cigarette before responding. "Call me old fashioned, but I like to look everyone I do biz with in the eye." He replied. "Besides, I had the pleasure of meeting the Jackster in the past. And sweet T-Bug? She helped this brother out two years back. So here we are." He added. "Sides all that? I got a little side mission planned just for you, but we'll get to that." He concluded.
"Alright then. What's the job?" V prompted.
"There's this... prototype tech, a biochip to be precise. Job's to grab it before it can be handed off to the Foot Clan." Dex explained.
"Yeah…? Huh, guessin' it's with a corp right now." V noted.
"Mmm hmm. Arasaka, I trust that's not a problem?" The man nodded.
"Heh, Corps don't deserve special treatment." V nodded. "Especially not those Arasaka bastards." He spat.
"Well shit. Heh, you ain't playing around." Dexter chuckled. "Gotta feeling that this can be the start of a beautiful friendship built on heaps of Eddies." He added.
"You got a plan for this show?" The Nomad questioned.
"Two things. First's a conundrum with the Maelstrom boys. That needs active resolvin'." The chill man replied. "Second, a rendezvous. Simple. Client who brought us the job's anxious, and wants to parley with one of the team." He continued.
"Okay. And the client, what's her deal? Why does she want to meet?" V asked a little confused as to why this was the case, since clients working through fixers rarely wanted to get involved with the nitty and gritty of any particular job.
"Woman's name is Evelyn Parker, and vettin' her wasn't easy. Put the word out that I was lookin' for any kind of intel…" Dexter trailed off.
"Right, and?" The soldier asked.
"Some guys from Pacifica got back to me. Told me to stop looking. Can you believe that?" Dex replied. "Anyway she wants to meet someone who's got skin in the game. Yours truly will be remote, T-Bug's working tech side and Jackie's only good at some things, I'm sure you know what I mean."
"What's the issue that needs resolving with Maelstrom? Got a beef?" V questioned. The heavyset fixer then handed him a shard chip.
"Slide in the shard." He replied as the soldier did so and the info on the shard played over his vision. "Got a classic tale for ya. Psychogang, doin' its thing a couple weeks back, jumped a militech convoy, got away with the gear. Corp doesn't even know Maelstrom's involved." He began.
"Okay." The man nodded.
"Now see, convoy was carrying the Flathead—a little combat bot, a prototype. And I need me that piece of high tech military gear." The fixer continued. "Cuz if we don't get that bot, we don't get no Saka chip, and we sure as hell don't get no happily ever after. But don't get excited, it's a single use toy." He added.
"I think I remember hearing whispers about this thing. They said it's supposed to be something invaluable." V mused, getting a nod in return.
"That's right. Now, I flat out purchased the damn thing from Maelstrom. Problem is, I did so from a gent who went by the name of Brick." The man went on. "I say "went" 'cause Brick was their leader. Three days after we sealed our deal, his friend and gangmate, one Simon Randall, aka Royce, plain dropped his ass." He continued. "Royce is in charge now. And I got no way of knowing if he'll live up to his predecessor's word." He said. "To add to this "shitstrom," one Meredith Stout of Militech has an interest in said convoy." He finished.
"Who's the prima donna?" The soldier questioned.
"Corpo agent, internal affairs. Been skittin' 'round town askin' after the convoy like her life depends on finding it. The one lead she's got zip-tied in her trunk." Dexter replied. "Stick up her ass ain't shrinkin', so She must be getting desperate. Be wise to think how you could use that." He added. "Course, to do so, you'll need that frazzled cat's info. Sending it now." He finished as he sent V the info he needed.
"Alright, that should do it. Time to get to work." The soldier nodded.
"Why, that's just music to my ears. I'll set up the meet with Miss Parker at Lizzies Bar. The Flathead's gonna be all you, though." Dexter nodded. "One more thing, mister V." He began suddenly. "Quiet life, or blaze o' glory? Hmm?" He questioned before the driver pulled over. "Later, now." He said. V then got out and stretched his legs as Dexter's ride drove off.
"Better meet back up with Jackie." The Nomad said as he called his ride to get back to Vik's.

-The Gulf, Port Clovis-
Golden Shores, Sapphire Bay, Prosperity Sands and now the Gulf. The Turtles had been exploring the entirety of Port Clovis, and they were all physically and mentally exhausted from the bullshit they just saw all over the place.
They found Cthulhu cult sites, for fuck's sake! They also found naval mines further inland in Prosperity Sands, too, which was a serious hazard. It would take one little boop from a curious seal, and a blast would go off.
And if that wasn't enough, they were now staring at a chained gate to the Kaiju realm at the ocean floor that was just barely open.
"Just when I thought we'd seen everything…" Casey groaned as he massaged his temples.
"Yes. This place has things that should have been made known ages ago." Splinter nodded in agreement as he rested his face in his hands.
"So where did our Maneater go after this?" Leo asked Donnie.
"Well we all know it left Port Clovis." The intellectual replied before shrugging. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised. This place is a dump." He added. "And according to the readings… it headed north of here." He concluded.
"North? Why north?" Leo questioned.
"Well, Bull Sharks have been known to migrate to the Mexican/Texas border near the Rio Grande during spawning season…" Donnie replies as he typed on his computer, coming up with a possible location. "Most likely place would be Port Iris. It's the closest to a Bull Shark spawning ground." He added.
"Right where Shredder is. Perfect timing." The red masked terrapin grin as he cracked his knuckles.
"Do we have enough supplies for the trip?" April asked, getting a nod in return.
"We don't need to worry about that." Donnatello told her as they slipped through the same gap Raiko slipped through. "Because we got this." He said as he flipped a switch the sub suddenly blasted through the water at turbo speed towards Port Iris.
(Elsewhere)
V got out of his car with the girls after picking them up, Jackie had gone to All Foods to get his nose to the ground and now the Nomad and his harem of Shark women were standing in front of Lizzy's Braindance club. The current time was 6:30.
"Hey there V, back from the sea again, I see?" One of the Mox bodyguards of the club said. She was a Korean woman with hot pink hair in pigtails with violet streaks and purple lipstick. She wore a torn T-shirt that showed her B-cup cleavage and the tattoo underneath and a pair of lycra pants. She also had a black titanium bat slung over her mechanical shoulders.
"Goddamn it, Barbara, again with the puns?" The soldier groaned.
"I don't know. I think it was good." Ebony chuckled.
"You know you love it." The woman said. "So, can I interest you and your lady friends with a preem BD?" She asked.
"No thanks. We're good." Ivory declined with a shake of her head.
"What she said." Raiko added, V nodding in agreement along with Ebony.
"We're actually here to meet up with someone. An acquaintance said they'd be here waiting for us." V explained.
"Well, in that case, the door's open." Barbara shrugged as the door opened behind her, allowing them to enter. "You cuties enjoy yourselves, alright?" She said as they walked past her, and the woman gave all three girls quick smacks on the ass as they walked by.
"Eep!" Raiko squeaked while Ebony and Ivory shot the bouncer a pair of dry looks. V, meanwhile, shot her a 'they're mine!' glare that made the violet streaked woman raise her hands placatingly. The four continued inside and V took a seat at the bar while Raiko sat to his left and the two other shark women stood on their mate's flanks.
The club was full of holographic strippers dancing everywhere and Moxs standing at each corner. The aesthetic matched Night City's Cyberpunk vibe to T.
"Hey, Mateo." He greeted the bartender, who grinned at him. Mateo had caucasian/light brown skin with long black swept back hair and some implants on his face. His eyes were also implants that glowed purple. He wore a blue hawaiian shirt, black pants, and a pair of sandals. He also had some necklaces around his neck and a notepad hung from his shirt.
"Hey there V. Need anything?" The man asked.
"Here to meet a woman named Evelyn Parker. We have a…business arrangement together." The nomad explained.
"Club's big. You'll have to ask around. Can't do it for you." The man replied.
"It's alright Mateo, I'll handle this one." A female voice said, grabbing their attention as they turned to see a woman approaching them from across the bar. She was a Caucasian woman with blue hair cut in a bob cut, red lipstick, amber colored eyes, and was wearing a glitter covered cocktail dress, with a black jacket that had a pink boa collar and lastly a pair of black heels.
"Is this her?" Ebony whispered to Raiko, who shrugged.
"Evelyn Parker, I knew it was you the moment you walked in." The woman said as she had Mateo pour him a glass of tequila.
"Why not come over sooner?" V questioned.
"Had to see what you were about. Plus, you seemed like you had your hands full." Evelyn stated, nodding towards his trio of wives.
"Anyway, let's talk business." The soldier said, taking the offered drink and getting up, choosing to ignore the remark.
"Right, we'll be in the lounge Mateo. If anyone asks, we're not here." The woman said as she led them to a lounge room where a circle couch lined the wall, a coffee table was in the middle and a hologram of a stripper played on loop. "Dex had a load to say about you. Called you professional, effective… and trustworthy. I hope he wasn't overselling." She stated.
"I come from a long line of soldiers, and even a couple pirates. So I'm definitely no stranger to taking something from a bunch o' snot nosed Corpos who like rolling around in money like a pig does with mud." V shrugged. "But, I don't know if Dex exaggerates, I only just started working with him."
Evelyn was quiet for a moment before she sat down next to him, which made Raiko become defensive, her hair and eyes sparkling with bio electric energy. "Yes, I've heard of that. Your Great Grandfather was the infamous "King Shark" right? The amphibious warfare soldier that was so good, the Japanese placed a flee on sight order on him during WWII?" She asked.
"The very same." V nodded. Ivory let out a whistle at that.
"Your family doesn't mess around." The muscular woman remarked.
"Dex always followed his intuition. Hopefully it served him well in this case." Evelyn noted. "Your—target—i trust you know what it is?" She asked.
"The Relic bio chip. "Secure Your Soul" trinket. Key tech in the program." V nodded. "We're tanglin' with Arasaka and the Foot Clan. Making this heist one dangerous motherfucker, cuz no one's crossed the Shredder and ever come back in one piece before." He continued.
"Mhm." Evelyn nodded. "Those two have poured billions into personality transfer technology. Me, though—I just want the data on this one." She continued. "The chip is tucked away over in Konpeki Plaza, the hotel. Either of you been there?" She asked.
"No. Out of our price range." Ebony replied dismissively.
"Though I have heard that it has an excellent honeymoon suite." Raiko noted idly as she stroked her chin.
"The decor's to die for. As you'll soon see for yourself." Evelyn told them. "The suite the chip is in is the penthouse on the top floor, owned by Yorinobu Arasaka." She added.
"The "Prince of Night City" Yorinobu? He's in town?" V questioned in surprise.
"Don't you read the screamsheets? The media couldn't get enough of Yori coming to Port Iris. It was all over the headlines." The blue haired woman told him.
"Fuck all kinds of duck…" The man said, placing a hand on his forehead.
"He's heir apparent of the Arasaka Empire. Saburo's only surviving son, and what's more, it seems their ally Saki Oroku has offered to give his daughter Karai's hand in marriage to Yorinobu in exchange for Saburo giving him access to their best tech. Which includes the Relic." Evelyn continued.
"That's one hell of a bargain." V noted.
"Yeah, it's why the Foot are here in the first place. Not only are they here for the drop, but they're also here for Yorinobu and Karai's big day." The woman nodded. "Things are gonna be tight."
"We can tell…" Ivory nodded before grinning. "Which is going to make crashing it so much more fun." She added, her grin never wavering.
"So true, sister dear." Ebony nodded.
"So we're not hitting the Corp, but Yorinobu himself and his trained kunoichi assassin of a fiancé?" V asked.
"That's the gist of it." Evelyn nodded. "Yorinobu is a puppet mainly, been having his balls in a vice by Saburo for years. But now that he's willingly and eagerly tying the knot with a family ally? Daddy foolishly loosened his grip, and now we can take advantage of that." She continued. The soldier was silent for a moment before grinning.
"Alright. I'm game." He declared. "But what about security details? He's bound to have people around. Especially Karai, I mean she's basically the Shredder's right hand." He added.
"Yorinobu keeps exactly no hustle around. Not a single guard. He got rid of them a long time ago." The blue haired woman explained. "Karai's on the other hand is a different story." She mused.
"Huh. Why'd he do something so reckless?" Raiko questioned, viewing that as a pretty dumb move. Evelyn then looked at her as if she were a brainless bimbo with zero education outside of the basics.
"I take it she's not from around here?" She asked V in a patronizing tone.
"No, and don't patronize her." V replied in a warning tone while giving his lover a glance that said 'I'm schooling you later.'
"There's an old saying here in Port Iris: "Sneeze in Night City and a cherry blossom falls in Tokyo" Yorinobu was worried that his security detail was reporting to his father." The woman explained. "That's why he'll be relying on the Foot, Karai will make sure they're kept quiet about whatever they do." She added.
"Okay. If there's any spare aces up your sleeve, now's the time to show them." V stated.
"Now this should make your prick perk up. Yorinobu recently swiped the chip from an Arasaka lab in Tokyo, then made a deal with Netwatch thanks to Karai's assistance, plans to sell it to them." She explained. "Have you spotted my ace yet or do I need to spell things out?" She questioned.
"No, but there's something I don't get, why would Karai help Yorinobu sell the chip—to Netwatch—of all people? Especially behind the Shredder and Saburo's back." The nomad questioned. "They gotta know that it'll end up in the government's hands when that happens, and I mean—I highly doubt that daddy dearest is gonna be happy knowing his little girl just stabbed him in the back."
"Unimportant. You just focus on getting the biochip." Evelyn told him.
"Fine. So no Arasaka security on the chip because Yorinobu whisked it away in secret. Best they probably got is a Foot Ninja or two. But we can handle that, where is he keeping the Relic?" V asked.
"Likely in a specialized container, one that likely mimics an organic neural environment. On the outside, it looks like an ordinary briefcase." The woman replied.
"And? Where would it be?" Raiko asked impatiently.
"You'll see for yourself. Provided we're done gossiping about the Arasakas." Evelyn said as she got up and headed towards the door.
"Alright. Next?" The soldier asked as he and his wives stood up.
"Now comes the best part, follow me." She replied as they all left the room.

-Konpeki Plaza, Arasaka suite-
"You're certain that this will work, Karai?" A man asked the woman kneeling behind him on the bed of his suite, said woman hugging him from behind and pressing her chest to his back. Her breasts flattened against his shoulders as she rested her head on his left shoulder and replied with her lips to his ear.
"I am. I'll make sure of it." She told the man. This was Karai, Shredder's daughter.
She was around twenty eight years old and she was also very attractive, which is a useful tool for any assassin. She had black hair that went down to her shoulders, green eyes and quite pink lips. Her figure was similar to that of Raiko with her curves being a mixture of the right amount of fat and muscle, but hers was much slimmer and more toned, and she also had smaller breasts. They were at most a C-cup.
Currently her only attire was a silver nightgown that allowed the man she was hugging to feel her nipples against his back. This man she was in bed with was Yorinobu Arasaka, her fiancé as of a year ago, by order of her father. She hadn't liked the arrangement at first, but after a year of getting to know the man and his mistress Evelyn, she grew to like him quite a bit.
Yorinobu was a seemingly young man, but in reality, he was in his eighties. He looked to be in his fifties due to an anti-aging serum he was given. He had short black hair, a pair of shades over his brown eyes and tanned skin. Currently, he was shirtless, exposing the rather impressive physique he had for someone his age. His only attire at the moment was a pair of black pants.
"And what of your 'Plan B'? Are you certain your 'special' contacts can be trusted with the Relic if Netwatch cannot?" He asked the kunoichi.
"I am certain. They will keep the Relic safe while we make final preparations to rid ourselves of the familial thorns in our sides." The woman replied, nibbling on his ear.
"That is good to hear." Yorinobu said as he faced her. "I'm tired of my father having me in my current position. So I need for this to be perfect so I can begin to move out of his shadow."
"I feel the same about my father. His dishonorable acts have spurned me for the last time. It is time I took a friend's advice and seized control over my destiny for once." Karai nodded in agreement as her fiancé hugged her waist and she sat on his lap, legs at either side of him.
"Then, to our future." He smiled as the two drank from a pair of champagne glasses next to them before they shared a kiss that quickly turned passionate.

Meanwhile at the beach of Casa Del V, a familiar looking metal sea turtle made landfall on the shore behind the house as evening began to fall. It then transformed into a turtle tank and rolled over to a secluded spot before turning invisible.
"So what now?" Casey asked.
"The trail ends here, so looking around sounds like a good idea." Donnie replied.
"It ate a lot of ooze before coming here…" Leo noted.
"You thinkin' What I think you're thinkin, Leo?" Raph asked.
"The Maneater is bound to be like us now." The sword using turtle nodded.
"That does not sound good…" Mikey shivered.
"Poor thing must be terrified, in a strange place, not knowing where she is or even what she is anymore." April added.
"Which means that it is paramount that we find this girl, so that we may offer her council and a helping hand, before she harms herself or others out of fear." Splinter spoke.
"No argument here, sensei." Raph said.
"What he said. I was stuck on the streets for years, I'm all over this Mastah Splinter." Casey nodded.
"Alright gang, let's move!" Leo said as everyone grabbed their gear and hopped out and moved on into the city.
They had work to do.
Dragon Emperor0: So, I wasn't expecting a few things this chapter. Especially that thing with Karai.
ThermalsniperN7: Yeah, I wasn't expecting that either… Or the fact that Raiko is in need of an education. That's probably gonna extend to Ebony and Ivory, too.
Dragon Emperor0: At least about stuff around Night City. And the Turtles are here, hopefully this'll help things go much more smoothly with the heist…
ThermalsniperN7: Here's hoping. Going into a big heist like this is a horrible idea if you're not educated. Also, the Turtles have seen the bullshit fest that is Port Clovis' waters, and are just about done with everything related to it.
Dragon Emperor0: For you guys wondering about their reactions to the whole thing… Here's what Mickey and Donnie said: "I'm gonna have to put on my fucking double seeing glasses. Because I can't even begin to see the amount of bullshit coming from this place!"
ThermalsniperN7: Yeah, I don't think anyone can see the amount of bullshit coming from Port Clovis. Anyway, see you guys next time!
