Mutant Rise
Shredder sat on his throne, April squatting at his left side grooming her fur. The control collar was a wonder; it suppressed April's humanity except when he needed it. She was for all intents and purposes his guard "dog," obedient, loyal, and intelligent, when need be. He smirked; his plan didn't go as well as he hoped the world was no confused as to whom was the hero, Shredder or the Turtles. Still a few sought him out, and his Foot soldiers brought those curious humans before him. These humans were terminally ill, dying, and Regardless of weather they would become feral or not Shredder could save their lives. So they sold their souls to the devil, and the devil gave them new bodies. Unlike April they would keep the phase one primer form for to long. The Tiger of full mutation was close proximity to Mutant Pheromones. And Rocksteady, Bebob, or April was always nearby. And so his ranks swelled, some even reveled in their powers and did not need to be controlled. Shredder stood up and tugged on April's chain leading her down the hall to inspect his troops. Flanked on either side by Foot he entered the war room and looks around at his new mutants. They were April the Tiger (C:F), Rocksteady the Rhino (U:M), Bebop the Warthog (U:M), Leon the Wolf (C:M), Devin the Lion (U:M), Aeiko the Bat (C:F), Theo the Rabbit (C:M), Xander the Elephant (C:M), Gado the Bear (U:M), Zoe the Mole (U:F), Susan the Panther (C:F), Sting the Jaguar (U:M), Adam the Hyena (U:M), Styx the Raccoon (U:F), Beth the Hedgehog (U:F), Rocko the Rat (C:M), Marina the Gorilla (U:F), Slit the Python (U:F), and Irving the Fox (C:M).
"Greetings my loyal mutants, today we bring back Kang to this dimension. Kang is a alien brain and the provider of much of our technology. If you impress me then I'll let you all have some 'personal time off.' [Shredder smirked and looked over at Devin then each of the voluntary male mutants] unless of course you would like to have your personal time with April now."
The mutant males howled back their enthusiasm, and Shredder smirked, April had been a thorn in his side for so long and now she was just a mindless slave. Beckoning the females and controlled males out of the room. The door closed and locked behind him leaving April at the mercy of those left behind. April sat obedient in the room, unable to do anything against orders due to the collar as the males closed in like a pack of wolves. One of the males grabbed he jacket and with a quick motion ripped it from April's shoulders. April shivered as he mind tried to assert control when suddenly the wall of the room caved in and as the dust settled the turtles leapt from the doors of the Turtle van charging in to save April. Quickly the 4 turned as the Turtles crashed in. Devin the Lion, Gado the Bear, Sting the Jaguar, and Adam the Hyena vs. 4 armored mutants; it was untrained raw power vs. highly trained defensive power. The Mutants charged like a pack at the turtles as April sat like a machine.
"Dude this is so unfair," jokes Michelangelo.
"Tell me about it, we are so gonna mop the floor with these losers," finished Rapheal.
"With Gado strength, not likely turtle soup," threatened Adam as he cackled like a hyena.
And so the battle was begun, Devin took after Leonardo, who thrusted with his swords afraid to draw blood, being no killer himself. Devin was under no such restriction as he bounded onto Leonard slashing his claws at Lenardo's left arm. Leo leapt back as blood spilled from the wounds and dropped one of his swords as he fell back.
"Don't force me to kill you."
"You don't have the guts!"
Donatello faced off against the Bear, and was proving his skill with the bow vs. the slightly slower bear. With deft use of his bow he kept the bear off balance as he crashed to the floor after each sweep of the bo. Finally the battle was over as the bear hit the ground for the 5th time and Donetello hammered him with a elbow to the chest which knocked the wind out of him for quite some time.
Mikey took after the Jaguar and but found himself out match as he came in close to attack he received a fence swipe that barely registered on his chest shell. But his opening came the Sting was distracted by the KO of Gado, with a triumphant "COWABUNGA!" Michalengello leapt at the Jaguar and Sting turned back around just in time to see a pair of feet slam into his chest and send him flying into a wall. Sting was out cold.
Rapheal was left with laughing boy, just stood there cackling like the hyena he was and dodging every move Rapheal threw at him. They may not have been skilled but they were lucky. Raph looked over at Leo who was being savagely attacked by the lion and he realized just what they were up against. These weren't like their normal fare of enemy they were willing to kill. And only he had the guts to do what he knew must me done. Ducking his head into his shell to avoid a claw slash he struck out savagely and slammed one of his sais into the arm of the Hyena, Adam griped it in pain whining and Raph hurled his other weapon at Devin, the sai planting itself deep in his side. The 3 turtles looked shocked in Raph but it did not last long, descending like ninja the trios incapacitated the other two. As Raph retrieved his Sais Donetello treated their wounds. Leo cast a disapproving glance at Rapheal who reacted simple with:
"What?! It had to be done."
"Dude, that was just so uncool, we do not draw blood."
"Whatever." Snorted Raph as he flipped Mikey off.
Slowly the 4 walked toward April who bared her fangs and got into an attacking stance. Then suddenly April leaped at them. Rapheal and Mikey quickly grabbed her as she tried to claw Donetello. Donetello looked shocked for a moment before Leonardo quickly slashed at the collar and it fell to the ground sparking. April continued to hiss for several moments before regaining her composure. Just then Shredder burst throng the door to investigate the commotion, Dazed April looked around confused as Donetello quickly grabbed her and the Ninja Turtle bolted for the van and speed off leaving a cursing Shredder in their dust.
