(( thanks for reviewing :-) ))
In the outer area of New York, in a shabby old house Baxter Stockman was waiting impatiently for the turtles to arrive.
"You will see", he said to Raph, who was tied up in the middle of the room. "Your brothers will arrive soon. I hope your reporter-friend and Shredder will also be with them."
"You'll never get them! They know what you're planning, damn idiot!", Raph snapped.
Baxter laughed at him. "Oh, I will surely get them. When they arrive here, I'll kill one of them... the others have to wait until their time comes."
"You are a crazy bastard!", Raphael shouted angrily.
"I wouldn't call that crazy", he replied. "I'm only taking revenge." He remained silent for a while, then went on. "I'm not sure whom I should finish off first... Anyway, all of them have to die - one after the other. And you will witness their death, because I'll spare your life until the end. It's nice being my hostage, isn't it?"
Raph stared at him, his eyes full of hatred. "When I get loose I'll kill you, Baxter!"
Baxter grinned. "Try to get loose, it won't work." He was holding up Raphael's turtle comm. "Thanks to this they will find you here and then it's time for my soldiers to take care of them..."
-----------------------------------------------------------
It was already night when they arrived at Baxter's hideout. Leonardo stopped the Van in front of the house.
"Hey, why is Baxter keeping Raph here instead of staying in the city?" Michelangelo asked, but remembering that Samantha Sheperd already knew about Baxter's plan he could figure out the reason.
Donatello looked around nervously. "I don't like this place, it's weird", he said. "And I'm sure it wasn't the best idea to come here."
April and Shredder tried to open the front door in the meantime. "Okay, let's have a look", Shredder said, when the door was pushed open.
Turning on the light, they saw Raphael.
Leonardo gave a sigh of relief, but when he wanted to cut Raph loose he stopped. "Damn it! We will need the keys to get this open."
"Leo, you should get away from here!", Raph urged. "Just leave me here, okay?! Baxter's planning to kill all of you."
Leo seemed a bit surprised, but he shook his head. "I'm definitely not leaving without you."
The same moment five of Baxter Stockman's robot-soldiers walked in, each of them armed.
Leo backed up and took his sword. "Okay, I'd suggest we go outside", he said before he turned to the door and ran out. He was sure that it would be easier to defeat Baxter's soldiers there, but when they went out they realized that they were caught in Baxter's trap. A dozen of his soldiers was waiting for them.
Leo didn't hesitate to attack. Lifting his katana sword he jumped forward. April's scream made him stop immediately. One of the soldiers had grabbed her, aiming the weapon at her head. Baxter appeared next to them. "Put your sword on the floor!", he demanded.
Noticing that he had no other chance he dropped his sword on the ground.
April, still screaming at the top of her lungs, finally kicked the soldier and got loose. She ran towards Leo, while Michelangelo tried to get rid of the two soldiers that came closer and closer...
Baxter laughed maniacally when three of his soldiers slammed Donatello against the wall. One of them aimed his weapon at Donnie who was stunned by the attack. But before he could finish, Shredder dealt him a blow that sent him flying. The second one suffered the same fate. Donatello got to his feet again and stood next to Shredder still a bit confused. Focussing on the last one, who was attacking Donatello, Shredder didn't see that Baxter Stockman had taken Leo's katana sword.
Donatello realized what Baxter intended to do and yelled: "No!" But the same moment Baxter drove the sword through Shredder's side. Shredder froze, then turned his head and stared at the sharp steel in disbelief. Baxter pulled back the sword with an triumphant grin and Shredder collapsed.
With an angry shout Donatello rushed towards Baxter, but he darted of giving his soldiers a sign. A few seconds later they were gone.
Donatello stared down the road Baxter had taken, then turned to Shredder, who was breathing in short gasps. His clothes were already blood-soaked. Donnie tried to lift him up and when he felt Shredder's body becoming limp he only whispered: "Oh no, no, no."
