Seven Years Ago...
Shredder pulled out his communicator and signaled for Krang.
"What now?" The aggravated brain snapped.
"Send me some mutagen."
"What for?"
Shredder rolled his eyes. "I want to make more mutants to use to defeat the Turtles. Send me some NOW."
"There is a storm here in Dimension X. If I send some, it may not get to you. Besides, the last time you made mutants, we got stuck with Bebop and Rocksteady."
"I know. I know." Shredder looked over at Bebop and Rocksteady. 'Fools' he whispered under his breath. "This time it will be different. Trust me."
"'Trust me', he says. I've heard that one before." Krang mumbled as he grabbed two canisters o mutagen. "I'm sending you two canisters."
"Good." Shredder smiled. "The more, the better."
Krang turned on the portal and programmed it to Shredder's coordinance. Then, one at a time, he tossed the two canisters.
"Well, where are they?" Shredder griped as he waited.
"I warned you earlier. With the storm, the canisters could go anywhere." Krang began to track them on a radar screen.
"Where are they?"
"One landed in Aiea, Hawaii and the other landed in Okeechobee Swamp in Florida.
Shredder sighed. "I'll get the one in Florida."
"What about Hawaii?"
"I'll get it later."
A Few Weeks Later…After Shredder's Failure with the Frogs…
"Hurry up you two." Shredder snapped. "We need to find that other canister."
"Okidoky boss." The two brainless mutants replied.
Bebop, Rocksteady, and Shredder split up to find the canister that was buried in the sand on the beach.
Bebop turned on his metal detector and began scanning the beach. Rocksteady did the same and they both began to listen to the beeps.
"Bebop and Rocksteady ended up in the same spot near a palm tree. The beeps were extremely loud.
"I found it boss." Bebop yelled.
"No, I found it first." Rocksteady yelled at him.
"No, I was here first."
"No, I was."
"Shut up you fools. You found nothing." Shredder said as he looked at the two standing around him. "It's me."
"Oops." Bebop snorted. "Sorry boss."
"Yeah." Rocksteady added. "We thought you were the canister."
"Do I look like a canister of mutagen to you." Shredder questioned.
"Ummm."
"Shut up and get back to work."
Rocksteady turned and tripped on Bebop's metal detector. After landing on his face, he looked up to yell at his friend.
"I'm gonna get you for that."
As he spoke, his breath blew away some sand uncovering a small piece of metal.
"Ooooo." Rocksteady said, forgetting about Bebop. "Money."
Rocksteady grabbed for the object, but found it to be much more than money.
"Boss." Rocksteady tugged on Shredder's cape for him to turn around.
"What now?"
"I found it."
Shredded turned around and looked at the uncover top of the canister. He put on gloves and slowly began to unbar it.
"Damn." Shredder said as he pulled the broken canister out of the sand. Then, he pulled the other half of the broken canister out.
"Where's the mutagen?" Bebop asked looking and one of the pieces Shredder hummed at the palm tree.
"It's gone." Shredder tore off his gloves. "So much for another mutant."
