Author's Note: Now, even though this turtle fic is based on the turtles
that were in Next Mutation, I really don't remember the Shredder that well
when he was in it, since it's been awhile since I've watched it. So, excuse
me if he seems out of character. I'm basically basing him on the cartoon
version, even though Bee Bop and Rocksteady won't be making an appearance.
Chapter Fourteen: Within The Shadows:
"You might want to take a look at this master." one Foot soldier said to Shredder as he went up to his boss.
The Shredder had been in hiding with the Foot. Not in fear of the turtles, but he was trying to think of a plan to get rid of the mutants that he hated so much. However his thinking was interrupted.
"What do you want?" Shredder asked the soldier that came up to him. The soldier handed him some pictures. "What is this?"
"We've been doing what you said sir. We've been watching the turtles in the shadows. They haven't seen us. We took some these, and we don't know what to make of them."
"Of course you wouldn't." replied Shredder. "Idiots." Shredder then ordered the soldier to go away, which he did so.
Shredder looked down at the pictures. Most of the pictures had the turtles in the den talking April O' Neil and two girls that he had never seen before. Then the last few pictures were of April, the two girls, and five other humans that he had never seen before. He took a closer look at the group of pictures and brought two of them together so he could see. He thought for a minute, and then he put the pieces together, but he couldn't believe what he saw.
"How could this be?" Shredder asked himself.
The Leader of Evil, then looked closely at the two girls in the picture. "They must have something to do with this." A wicked thought soon came to mind and he called the soldier back in.
"Yes master?" the soldier bowed and then listened to what the Shredder had to say.
"See these two girls." Shredder asked and the Foot Soldier nodded. "Bring them to me. I have a feeling they know something we don't."
The Foot Soldier bowed once again before he took his leave. Shredder remained and looked at the pictures again. If he was right, and these two new girls had something to do with it, he couldn't wait to see on how they could help him.
Back at the den, the turtles, April, Dawn, and Buffy were all back. Casey was also with them. Splinter joined them in the living room.
"How was it?" he asked them.
"Most excellent!" Mikey answered first. "The sights, the sounds, the food!"
"Don't forget the computer stores." pointed out Donnie.
"Oh yeah, we mustn't forget that." Mikey said with a laugh.
The turtles did have fun. April, Buffy, and Dawn took them to lunch at Pizza Palace, then made a stop at Central Park, and for Donnie's sake, they stopped at a few computer stores. He bought some new equipment with money that April let him borrow. The group also stopped at a few stores to get the turtles some human clothes, because April and Buffy didn't want them wearing the same thing every day. Everyone but Raph had some fun. During their topside adventures, he kept to himself. No one wanted to bother him, and only Buffy knew the reason he was upset. Now, the turtles were back home, and they all sat down to have a meeting about Shredder.
"So, when we'll be able to bust some skulls in?" asked Casey once everyone was settled.
"Do not rush into things Casey." Splinter said. "We only can guess that Shredder has something to do with this."
"Who else would it be?" asked Leo.
Dawn rubbed the back of her neck nervously. Mikey noticed this. "Hey, are you okay?"
"Uh... Oh, yeah I'm good. Just don't like the sounds of this Shredder guy." she replied.
"We can easily take care of him." Casey said to her. "It's been done before."
"Yeah, and he's always came back with a bang remember?" asked Leo.
"Still, we have two more on our team now." Casey replied turning to Dawn and Buffy.
"You mean one." corrected Buffy.
"What?" Dawn asked. "Um... Hello, they're my friends too you know."
"I know but this might be a little too dangerous." pointed out Buffy.
"It's always a little too dangerous." Dawn replied, with annoyance in her voice. Mikey tried to put a comforting arm around her, but she moved away. "Well, I'm going ahead and go home then since I'm no help here."
Dawn stormed out of the den. Buffy rolled her eyes, and then excused herself. She then went after her sister.
"The joy of siblings." said Raph under his breath.
"Aren't you going after her?" Mikey asked.
"Nope."
Mikey shook his head, and then went after the Slayer and Dawn. "You're loss then bro."
Dawn and Buffy were now in the sewers. Dawn had no idea that this was going to cause all this trouble. She didn't have a clue they were going to blame the magic on Shredder. Dawn was yanked out of her thoughts when Buffy grabbed her arm and swung her around to face her.
"What's going on with you lately?" asked Buffy.
"What do you mean what's up with me lately?" Dawn replied.
"You've been acting a little weird for the past few days and I want to know why."
"its nothing." the teen witch lied. "I'm just worried about the guys and that Shredder person they kept talking about."
"All right... I'll buy that for now." Buffy said. "However, I still don't want you involved with this mess."
"In case you've forgotten, I've been through worse." pointed out Dawn. She started to name off the long list of bad events that had occurred in Sunnydale. "Oh, and don't forget-"
"Okay, I get it, but that was in Sunnydale." Buffy told her. "This is a whole new ball game with a new enemy."
"Don't worry big sis, I'll be a little girl and stay in the corner and out of this mess like you told me to." Dawn mimicked a little girl, and gave her sister a fake small. It quickly turned into a frown.
"Very funny..." Buffy was going to continue but she was cut off by something or someone in the shadows.
Before Buffy was given a warning, a dozen or so Foot Soldiers came out and surrounded the two girls. "If you know what's best for you, I suggest that you come with us quietly."
"Buffy..." said Dawn.
"Oh gee, look an audience." Buffy gave them a smirk and then kicked into Slayer girl action.
As Dawn watched Buffy kick some major Foot butt, she noticed Mikey from the corner of her eye. "Mikey!"
"Got it covered!" he replied, and helped Buffy in the fighting.
Mikey was not use to fighting in his human form so he was a little slow. That, the Foot Soldiers didn't mind at all. It took them awhile but in the end the Foot took down Mikey, and grabbed Dawn and Buffy for the Shredder.
"I told you should have gone quietly." the foot soldier said to Buffy, and that was the last thing Buffy saw. The foot soldiers knocked The Slayer and her sister out.
"No..." Mikey said with a moan as he got up. He was too late, the soldiers were gone, along with Buffy and Dawn.
"Mikey!" everyone said once Mikey returned to the den. He looked beat up, and tired.
"What in the world happened?" April asked.
"I'll get the first add kit." said Donnie and went to get it.
"They're gone..." Mikey told everyone.
"Who?" asked Venus. Then she looked around. "Where's Dawn and Buffy? Did they return with you?"
Mikey shook his head. "No..."
"Here." Donnie replied to April and handed her the first aid kit once he had returned.
April took out some bandages and placed some along with some medicine on Mikey's forehead. "I'm asking again, what happened."
Mikey turned to Splinter. "The Shredder has them."
"What?!" Raph said.
"Yeah." responded Mikey and put his head down.
"We will get them back then." Raph declared and started for the door.
"No. We can't. Not yet." said Leo.
Raph turned back to him. "What? Why the hell not?"
"We don't know where Shredder is."
"Then we look for him."
"That could take some time and you know we don't have a lot of it."
"I don't care. We need to find them." Raph said.
"Now he cares." replied Leo.
"Guys! Enough!" Casey ordered. "Raph, Leo's right. We don't know where Shredhead is."
"Then what do you suppose we do?" Raph turned to Splinter.
"We wait." answered Splinter.
"But Master Splinter!" Raph yelled.
"Trust me my son. I know what I'm doing." he continued. "Now, we must practice. You need to get use to your human forms for the next battle."
Leo was the first to agree. Venus nodded her head as well. Along with Donnie and Mikey. Raph just groaned but in the end went along with it.
"Casey will be your instructor." Splinter announced.
"What?" asked Raph.
"Oh... this is going to be fun..." Casey gave them a smirk and then the training began.
