Donatello stood in the middle of the area watching out for anything special, but he had to admit that there was nothing unusual.
"I knew", Raph murmured. "I knew that it was a stupid proposal."
"Hey, bro', if you have something in mind which could be of help, just go ahead and tell us!", Leo replied sarcastically.
"Umm... not yet." Raph turned away from Leo.
Donatello started examining the area. "It's really strange that there aren't any guards. So it hadn't been difficult for the thieves to get the machine."
"What machine?", Shredder interrupted him.
"I don't know. That's what I wanted to hear from *you*!"
"Me?! Why? I don't even know what you're talking about."
"Well, because you always try to invent something to get rid of us, to conquer the world or..."
"Shut up!", Shredder shouted angrily. "Maybe I have been here today, but I can't remember, okay?! And one thing's for sure: I have nothing to do with that stupid machine!"
"Alright, calm down!", Donnie responded. "I didn't blame you for anything. I just want to know why..."
The sound of the suddenly appearing car stopped their discussion immediately. The silver car's headlight irritated the four turtles for a moment. Leo realized that the driver obviously accelerated instead of stopping the car. "Attention!", he yelled to the others, who just stood staring at the scene.
But before they were able to react the car boomed to a halt in front of them. The door flung open and a woman, dressed in black, got out. She looked at them, turned back to her car and grabbed a rifle.
"What are you doing?!", Leo asked, staring at her.
"That's none of your concern", she replied as she released the safety catch of her weapon.
"None of my concern?! Who are you and what do you want?" Leo repeated.
"Keep off", she responded, "and you and your brothers will be safe." She looked piercingly at Shredder. "Didn't I tell you I'd come back? Now I'm here and there's nothing you can do." She gave a sinister laugh. "That's the best about it - now you have to pay!"
Shredder stared at her. He didn't understand what she was talking about, he only knew that he was in a really bad situation. "I don't know you", he answered. "So what could I have done to you that caused such a lot of hatred?"
She laughed again. "You don't know me? Poor guy! Nice try, but that won't work with me!" She lashed out at him and he parried her attack. But her second attack was much faster and more efficient. She dealt him a hard blow that forced him back.
"Don't dare to provoke me!", she snapped.
Leo noticed that Shredder had no chance against the furious woman and, though Shredder was his enemy, he decided to intervene. Taking his katana sword he stepped forward. But she activated her laser, focussed on Leo and his sword just broke in two.
"Stop it, fools, or you'll have to die!", she said, before turning back to Shredder. She aimed her weapon on him. "Now you'll come with me", she ordered.
"Never!", Shredder replied. He had recovered from her attack and was ready to defend.
"You *will* come, dear, you don't have any choice", she replied and - without any further warning - she pulled the trigger. Shredder felt a sharp pain before the world turned black.
While the four turtles watched the scene in disbelief, she dragged Shredder's limp body to the car, started the engine and the rear lights disappeared in the darkness...
