From 16: *reading the first bit of your review and was LOL* Sorry. You had to add the whole "HOLY SHELL" part. LOVE IT!
And Sally working for the Shredder? *shudders* You don't tell me twice. Well, I did think about that but…uh…didn't want to do it.

Episode No: 11. The conclusion to one of the amazing sagas ever.
(Manhattan, NY – Flashback moment)
The rain was pouring down hard, grey clouds, lightning clashing everywhere. For the Turtles, they had pretty much one extraordinary night. With their weapons out, they are now face-to-face with the Foot Ninja and their tyrannical leader all dressed up in his armoured suit.
"Well, it took me awhile, but I managed to see Oroku Saki for who he really is: the Shredder."
The steel monster throws his fists in the air as the thunder strikes at the same time. Going back a bit before the maniac arrived, the Turtles have witness the arrival of the Foot Ninjas on the rooftops.
"Of course, to get to this point, we have to fight a bunch of Foot Ninja, which wasn't easy."
Leo was slashing his way through a number while Mikey was whack one-by-one. But the fight wasn't over as Hun arrived to make this night even worse.
"Then we had to go up against Hun again."
Hun does a battle cry before he charges into battle. And the Turtles do the same thing. Hun leaps up in the air and throws a punch in the purple turtle's ribcage which sends Don away.
With the sword in hand, he whips the blade of the scabbard as the lighting strikes again. He drops the scabbard, holds the Katana in his grasp and advances on the sword-wielding reptile.
"Definitely not easy."
Desperate to save himself, Leo runs up to the thug, does a handstand, push off the floor and does a bicycle kick in the chest. He continues the kicking chain until the giant goes crashing through the skylight and fall a couple of stories; hitting the ground hard.
Back to reality, the Turtles are still face-to-face with the main event of the night.
"But the real nightmare is about to begin."
The Shredder himself crossed his arms over; preparing himself and his men for the battle.
"Now we have to face the Shredder and something tells me, this is really not going to be easy."
(The Lair, Manhattan, NY – 8:40pm)
Sally hasn't left her position since she started to have the vision. For so long, she has been pounding on the questions that she has been dying to answers. And now, after fifteen long years, she was getting them tonight.
She is still meditating really hard and beads of sweat were rolling down on her face. Her vision is not finish yet.
(Sally's vision – unknown time)
The young woman, whom the Shredder called her Serenity Hope, has her back against the wall while she clutching onto her child in her grasp. Her daughter was still crying in her grasp but after a while, it started to dye down. More of the black ninjas
Not only she was keeping an eye on her child but she was keeping alert of the intruders in her home. The Foot Clan, their Foot Lieutenant, Hun – and their leader.
Oroku Saki a.k.a The Shredder.
The steel monster stepped forward.
"Greetings, Serenity Hope. I have heard so much about you and your… extraordinary life before you arrived here. Look like we have something in common." He looks down to see the child in her arms whose big eyes were looking at him. Serenity holds her close while still looking at the mad man with strong-minded expression on her face.
"And it appears that your daughter has chosen to follow in her mother's footstep and but instead, she will follow in mine. As for her abilities, they will prove…useful for me into finding my enemies in the future. Unlike you, you proved to worthless at this moment." He clenches his left hand into a fist but then relaxed it.
"But I will also give you a chance to live if you follow my demands." He then holds out his hand out for her. "Join me, Serenity. And I promise you and your daughter's life will forever be spared."
Anger took over her face as she closes her eyes for a second and then opened them up again. "No, Oroku Saki." She calmly sneers at the monster. "After what you did to Yoshi, why I think about working for you when I know you never keeps a promise and forgot about giving my child to you. You are not worthy to have her under your command."
Such strong willpower. Guess Sally knows where she gets her drive from.
The Shredder was growing impatient by the second. "Very well. If you won't give her to me,…" He then raised his gauntlet right above her. "Then I will have to take her from you BY FORCE!"
Before he brings down his gauntlet, Serenity manages to jump back to avoid the blades. She then landed between two Foot Ninja, jumps up and does a successful split kick; knocking them out. Another one was coming up behind as he draws his Katana out by Serenity was quick enough elbow him in the guts.
Her attention was then drawn to the open window that was smashed opened. Too many to fight so, it's time for an escape route. She turns around to face her adversaries and smirks at them.
"I'll be back for you, Saki…but not with the child." She clarified before she jumps out of the window, does a successful flip and lands on the streets with bent knees.
Hun was about to follow her through the window but the Shredder holds his hand up; halting him. He then gestures to his army.
"Foot Ninjas: FIND THEM! End the life of the young lady if you have to but bring the child to me. I shall make her my apprentice!" He ordered his ninjas as he leaves the room with Hun right behind him.
Serenity was now in the sewers when she got out of her apartment and through a bunch of dirty alleys but she and her child were safe…for now.
Fearing for her baby's safety, she knew she can't bring anymore danger to her child again. They were after the baby.
Not her.
While coming up with a plan, again for the second time of the night, she sense presences in the sewer.
Make that four small presence and a large one.
Fortunately, it doesn't sound like the Shredder or his ninjas.
Someone is down here! Hopefully, they are nice people who will find the child and take good care of her.
She looked around to see a basket just floating around in the sewers. Serenity grabbed the basket and then runs to a corner nearby. As she takes a minute to catch her breath, she carefully placed her baby in the basket.
Serenity then pulls out something that was around her neck. She then pulls out something that was around her neck. The amulet!
It was the same necklace that Splinter gave to Sally before this whole vision started.
Serenity flipped it around to see the engraved words on the back.
To my daughter, Salvadora. Never give up on hope.
The young woman was giving her the only thing to remember her by, even if she doesn't remember in such a young age. She lifts her baby in her arms and hugs her which stirs the child up. Tears escape her eyes as she looks at her baby.
"Goodbye, my child. I hope someone will find you and raise you to be a strong person that you already are; just like your parents. And perhaps one day in the future, you will know the truth about yourself and you will be the only hope for your people."
Bring hope to her people? Even Sally doesn't understand what she meant.
She carefully places the baby in the basket, places the amulet on her daughter's lap and pushes the basket back into the shadows. She stands up and walks away as she cautionary looks around her surrounds and takes one final look to her daughter.
"I love you so much, sweetheart. I will never, ever forget you."
And with that, she is gone out of the baby's sight.
But instead of continuing onwards, the vision then jumped forward a little while to find the Serenity now on the surface; in the alleys while kneeling down on both knees. She was now surrounded by the entire army of Foot Ninja along with Hun and the Shredder. The leader looks down on her as two of the black ninjas hold her in their grasp; preventing her from escaping.
She was captured. Don't know how but it was too late.
Despite fighting at a high level and has supernatural powers, Serenity did nothing. She doesn't move a muscle. She doesn't use her to free herself from her The Shredder lifts his gauntlet in the air. The young women closed eyes as she prepares for the afterlife. She knows that her daughter would one day avenge her when she knows the truth and help bring hope for her people.
With one slash, Serenity Hope was no more…
(The Lair, Manhattan, NY – 8:49pm)
As soon as Serenity's life was silence from the killer strike, so does the vision.
Sally jolt opens her eyes with astonishment. Her head and shoulder all droop from exhaustion as she breaths in and out. Tears were now escaping her eyes again. The first one was seeing the visual of her mother for the first time and second was coming to a conclusion of her vision.
"He took her away from me."
Rising out of his meditation, Splinter looks up to the tired teenager.
"The Shredder?" he asked.
Sally pauses for a second; not looking at the rat. "Yes. The Shredder…somehow found my mother and cut her down right after she left me in the sewers. Just before you guys found me."
Splinter was now astonished by all this. It would seem that Sally did know the Shredder when she was a baby and he killed his mother. Not to mention the symbol as well. Sally then began to overflow with questions.
"But…how does the Shredder know her like he knows Yoshi? Not to mention she said his name." She stated. "Could she be talking about the Hamato Yoshi; your Sensei? Does she know him somewhere? Or what about my powers? Where did they come from and how do they work? Ohh! Man, I just wanted to know mor—"
The rat holds up his hand in front of her face to silence her. Right now, she was asking way too many questions. "There will be time for answers but right now, you need to rest. As surprising that you found out more of your past, it would be wise to try again another time." Sally's eyes were about to droop and her collar of her shirt was now damp from all the sweat. "By the look of yourself, the vision that you have just witness must have drained nearly all of your Chi. Rest and recover before you resume your vision again." The rat advises her.
Despite finding more answers, Sally decided to hit the hay. Master Splinter was right. She was on a brink of collapsing from exhaustion. She needed rest. At least she had enough strength to pick up her necklace and stand up. She bows to her father whom goes back to meditating; probably thinking about the Shredder. She walks to the door, slides it open, walks out of the room and closes the screens behind her.
As she walks into the centre of her home, she notices something is different. There was no noise.
No grunts from training. No TV noises form the living. No machine operating. Nothing.
The Turtles hasn't come back yet. Suspicion, Sally thinks about this.
It sure has been awhile since the guys left to give their answer to the Foot but something wasn't right. It usually doesn't take that long send the answer and probably fight a battle or two if there were any Foot or…
Oh no.
The guys. They must have gone after the Shredder. Or it might be a trap.
With no second thought and doesn't have the time to tell Splinter, she raced out the door and into the sewer tunnel. She hopes that she isn't too late…
(The rooftops, Manhattan, NY – 8:49pm *This is happening at the same time when Sally left the Lair to find her brothers*)
The rain was pouring down hard, grey clouds, lightning clashing everywhere. For the Turtles, they had pretty much one extraordinary night. With their weapons out, they are now face-to-face with the Foot Ninja and their tyrannical leader all dressed up in his armoured suit.
Raising his gauntlet at them, the Turtles continue to stare at their opponents while holding their ground.
"The time for games has ended. No more charades." Before he fights his new rivalry, he removed his helmet. Rain has hit his dry face as he stares at the fighting reptiles.
After a long pause, the Shredder speaks again. "You see as I am and it will be the last thing you will ever see." He gives off a smirk before putting his helmet back on and then crossed his arms over; preparing himself and his men for the battle. "Prepare to face your destiny…and your doom."
Oh, the Turtles are prepared. To kick some shell!
Don looks over to his older brother. "Well, uh, he's your friend Leo." The purple turtle nervously said. Ok, maybe not all the Turtles but still.
"And he certainly has a strong sense of personal style, I mean, nice outfit." Mikey commented on the Shredder's get-up. Don't think this is time for jokes; especially when facing who could probably be more of a skilled fighter than they are.
"Yeah, but something tells me he didn't get all dressed up for nothing." Raph points out; holding his Sais close to his face.
Leo, on the other hand, was more focus on the impending battle that was going to happen in no time. There was no backing out.
"Guys,…we're in for the fight of our lives." Leo advises his brother; raising his Katanas in front of him.
Not a moment too soon, the Shredder raised his hand in the air. "Foot Ninja: ATTACK!" he commanded. One-by-one, the foot all charged at the mutants. "Destroy them."
All the Turtles charged at them as well. Leo dealt with the first two; delivering a split kick to the chest. Don was facing against one who slashes his Katana from above but the purple turtle dodges it. The black ninja tries a vertical slash but Don jumps the attack and whacks his staff in the back and sends him flying.
Raph manages to block a Katana from another ninja. After the block, it was followed by a kick in the gut.
Facing three more black ninjas, Mikey whips out his Nunchakus and twirls them around. Unfortunately, he was going to be the first to face against the Shredder. The leader was going to wait until his Foot Soldiers keep the Turtles busy and distracted while he is free to attack his foes unopposed. He leaps up into the air and kicks the poor turtle away. Mikey goes sliding across the rooftop.
With one turtle down, the Shredder looks over to his right to see another Turtle; dealing with two ninjas. Leo kicks one away and was ready to knock the other away but the Shredder kicks him away before he even he the chance.
As he was sent flying to the ground, two Foot Ninja jumped out of the way as Leo does a backwards roll, push off with his hands, slides on his feet and comes to a stop. Look like the Shredder is pretty sneaky when fighting.
Don is dealing with two more while twirling his staff at them. Just before he was going to jab them, the Shredder appears right behind him, grabs his weapon – and him – and throws to the ground. Unfortunately, Don didn't have time to get up as he was about to be slice in half by a Foot Ninja with his Katana at ready. Just as he was about to deliver the strike from the air, the purple turtle was saved by the shell thanks to his older brother who blocked his attack with his Sai. Relieved, Don rolled out from the danger zone and stands up.
"Watch your back, brainiac." Raph grunts; holding his own strength against the Katana.
"Isn't that what you're for, Raph?" Don questions his brother before he leaps away to face off against more Foot.
Eventually, Raph flung the sword out of the ninja's hand and it was sent flying. The flying sword was now heading for Mikey and Leo who were busy duking it out with a black ninja each.
"Leo, low bridge." Mikey warned. His big brother gets the message as he and Mikey duck the incoming sword. The sword keeps on flying and hits the power generator. Sparks fly out of the machine as the power generator exploded and burst into flames. As the fire grew larger, Mikey and Don had their hands full dealing with a ninja of their own.
As the flames nearly spread across the rooftop, the Shredder finds himself facing up against the two eldest of the mutant family.
To think that he was so close of trusting this guy and thanks to his family for opening his eyes, Leo finally see who he really is and now was destine along with his family to stop his plans in his track once and for all.
Both the Shredder and Leo were sneering at each other before the Ninja Master leaps at them. The Turtle brother does the same thing.
Just before the turtles can strike an aerial move on him, the Shredder kicks them away whilst in the air as the flames began to burn up.
(The Lair, Manhattan, NY – 8:51pm)
A few minutes after Sally left, silence has taken over the place once again as the rat has risen from his meditation. He opens his screens doors and enters the Lair.
"My children, I have been in deep meditation regarding The Shredder and—" he looks around to see if his children are here but the old master realised that no-one is here. Not even Sally who was just here a few moments ago.
"Not here." He lets out an irritated sign and walks pass his son's workshop. "I cannot even take a few minutes for meditation without those kids running off."
Must be hard being a father of five. He always wonders how a normal parent ever has to deal with five teenagers. It must be a nightmare.
Something then has caught his eye as he spy a hand-written note that was placed on his son's work table. He puts his stick aside, picks the note up and reads it. He then begins to thinks for a second.
"Hmm, what is the one thing I did not want them to do?" he said to himself.
Then he remembers something from last night. Leo mentions that they were going to give them their answer and faces them. And by them, he must have meant the Foot and the…
Realized, he has come to a conclusion.
"Face the Shredder! I am sure that is what they have done." Look like he is pretty mad right now; disobedient children of his going off to face a terrifying foe. If he doesn't leave now, he will be too late. Guess it's time to get his children out of this mess. Once he grabs his stick, he is off.
But something else came to mind. He looks down on the table to see remote for the Battle Shell. Something tells him that it is going to come in handy. He picks it up and heads towards the elevator. The doors of the contraption opened as the rat approaches.
"I must find my children."
(The rooftops, Manhattan, NY – 8:51pm)
The fire is spreading too thin as the Turtles tried their best to battle it out while avoiding getting burned.
Mikey deals with a Foot Ninja and kicks him away. Another pops in front of him and does a might kick that sends him flying into two more Foot soldiers which his big brother was facing; knocking them out. The purple turtle goes over to his woozy brother.
"Nice landing." Don acknowledges; helping his brother up to his feet.
"They don't call me Air Mikey for nothing." The orange turtle stated as they go off; facing more ninjas as they can find. Once that's done, they can join their brothers.
And they better hurry. Raph and Leo were having their hands full with the leader. The red turtle tries to take a stab at him as he leaps at the Shredder but the monster slides to the left and kicks him away. Leo tries to cut him down but the Shredder was kick enough to kick him forward.
The blue turtle ends up sliding across the floor and hits shell first on the ledge. A portion of the ledge broke off and falls of the building. The impact of the hit causes the turtle to lose his grip on the swords and they fall along with the debris and hit the hood of a car below in the streets.
Leo becomes alert when four Foot Ninja all advance the ninja turtle and grabbed him by the arms as. They all hold the defenceless turtle in their grasp as the reptile tries to struggle out of their grip. But the worst has already arrived.
The Shredder passes through the fire with ease and approaches the blue leader. Leo stops struggling as the Shredder halts in front of his adversary. He lets out a terrified laugh; lifting up his gauntlet in front of him.
"I will finish you FIRST!" he declares. But guess the killing spree has to be cut short when the roof of the warehouse starts to crumble. The fire has spread too far and it has already weakened the ground.
The Shredder turns around to witness the interruption. "WHAT?!"
As the rest of the Turtles and the Foot Ninja tried to escape the hazard, Leo, the four Foot Ninjas and the Shredder were still standing in their spot as the crack – and the fire – begins to grow and heads start for them. Leo lets out a scream as the fire itself emits around them.
Once she got to the surface, Sally climbed up the nearest fire escape and high tail to the rendezvous – the warehouse. Jumping from building to building, she was getting close. Though she was expecting the guys and a bunch of Foot and hopefully, not the Shredder. But she was not expecting the warehouse to be on fire.
"What th—" she muttered. The place was crumbling it up by the second she doesn't know if she can see the Turtles. At a quick second she spotted a very familiar turtle wearing a blue bandana who wields swords that were backing up from the blazing fire. Guess during the distraction, he must have released himself from the Foots' grasp and tried to keep a safe distance away from the flame.
Unaware, he was near at the ledge where the next second, he will fall a few stories high and become pavement paste!
Like a ninja, Sally has come prepared. She whips out her custom-made grappling hook, spins it and hooks it at a nearby street light. Once her rope is secured, she looks up to see her best friend was about fall over the edge. Just as soon he begins to fall, Sally jumps off the building, swing to the other side of the street.
Just as the turtle was about to meet the car from below, Sally manages to grabs his sash and swings him away from the car and lands on the pavement. Sally was now relieved to save her big brother.
"Whew. That was a close one." She said. Since Leo was here, the others should be too. She looks around to see any sign of the others but there was nothing.
Well, she couldn't see them because they became separated. Don leaps off the crumpling building and grabs onto the streetlamp. But he suddenly lost his grip and fall onto the streets as the debris from the burning building fall right near him. Landing hard on his side, he was going to feel that in the morning.
Raph was on the other side as he fall into a darker alley. But instead of landing hard on his shell, he fell into an open dumpster. After he crashed into the dumpster, the lid falls down on him.
Don manages to sits up from his fall as he groans while rubbing his head in pain. He looks up to see the building; now destroyed by the fire. He just hopes his brothers are ok. And not a moment too soon. Because as soon he heard noise coming from his left, he turns to the source to see his younger brother. He was sitting on a dozen of garbage bags while his foot is trapped under a big block of block. Mikey tried to use his strength to lift the block off his feet that was pressed down on another debris.
Don picks himself up and approaches his big brother. "I can't take you anywhere, Mikey." He said; glad to see his brother but needed of his aid.
"Hey, I was trying to move," Then he points upwards. "But the building just jumped out and attack me!" He's always coming up with jokes, even when he's hurt.
"Let's get you outta there." Don said. He wedged his Bo-Staff under the block, lifted it off the turtle's foot and pushed it away. Mikey carefully remove his foot away and places it on the ground. But as soon it touches the floor, he winches in pain.
"Ow! I think I hurt my ankle." He stated while standing up.
Don passes his Bo-Staff to him for support, grabbed Mikey's arm and rests it around his neck. "Duh. C'mon, I'll help, you."
Don helps his little brother to walk with a sore foot as they walk away from the danger and starts to look for their brothers. Fire and smoke was still going up in the warehouse and dust was emitting from below as Don and the injured Mikey were halfway to the nearest alleyway.
They didn't make it far due to Mikey's injury as they turned around to witness the horror.
"Oh…man." Mikey gasped.
"Uh oh." Don gulped.
Right behind them, the Shredder himself whom survived the fall; exits the burning building by the door. He was unaffected by the flames that surrounded him. Ok, that did not just happen. No human or creature can ever do that. Well, maybe a mutant who has the ability to be impervious to any element.
The two turtles were now baffled by the scene. "Tell me I'm not seeing what I'm seeing." Mikey said.
"I wish I could, Mikey." Don griped in terror. "I wish I could." He and Mikey then walked away from them as fast as they could.
The Foot Ninjas who survived the incident all approached their master and kneeled down before him.
The Shredder than lifted his hands out to the side. "Find the Turtles. They cannot be far. Do not allow them to escape." The Ninja Master ordered his soldiers whom bow their heads. But they then interrupted by the sirens from approaching police and fire trucks. Talk about bad timing for Saki and a nice save for the Turtles.
The Shredder grunts in exasperation. "Foot Ninja: Disappear. Report to me when you find them." He holds his gauntlet so close to his face. "I want to finish them…myself."
As the siren got closer, the Shredder along with his army then vanishes from the scene and into the shadows before the cops and fire trucks arrived.
Meanwhile, Leo who was saved and joined up with Sally was hiding behind a car when the forces have arrived. Sally senses the Foot heading this way and she and Leo ducked for cover. A couple of Foot has gone straight pass them and went off in a different direction.
Once the coast is clear, they bobbed their heads up again. Sally turned to her brother beside her.
"Well,…" she wonders; hoping for a plan.
"We gotta find Raph, Don and Mikey." He replied.
Sally looks behind her to see his Dual Katanas just in front of the car and picks them up. She passes them back to the blue turtle who took them out of her hands. They then walked away from the car and approached a small stair that leads to an underground club. "We gotta regroup." Leo puts his swords away as he and Sally jumps down in their new hiding spots.
They peered over the edge to see a number of Foot whom just arrived to wear the car is. Good thing they moved before they were found.
"But we're not much good to our brothers if those guys find us first." He stated as the two ninjas both sink away into the shadows.
"Don't worry, Leo. With my senses, we'll be ok." Sally reassured him.
The red turtle was still hiding in the dumpster when a bunch of Foot Ninjas jumped down from the rooftops and runs straight past the bin. Once the coast is clear, using his head, Raph sightly opens the lid while keeping a lookout for more ninjas.
"Man if those Foot goons don't finish me off, the stink of this dumpster will. Sheesh." He quietly complains as he carefully jumps out, holds the lid and carefully places it back down. He walks a few steps until he noticed a banana pile on his shoulder. He flicked if off as he pressed on; hoping to find his brothers.
Not far from them, Don and Mikey have just escape the Shredder and were slowly moving down the streets and making their way into the alleyway.
Mikey was still hopping in pain. "Don, we need to go back." He said. He too wanted to find his brother but not when he has an injure foot.
"I know," Don stops in front of a lamppost. He then leans his hurt brother up against so he can take a bit of a break before moving on. "But you're in no condition to fight, Mikey." He just wishes Sally was here so she can heal his foot up.
Once the orange turtle has catch his breath, they on the move again. "Let get your ankle wrapped up and then we'll start looking for the others." He clarified.
Not far on the same streets as Leo and Sally are, a couple of Foot have arrived; looking for their master's adversaries. There were looking left to right but not up. That's where the ninjas are. High above on the lamppost, a green ninja was watching them afar while the young kunoichi was hiding in the fire escape in a nearby alley. Leo growls in frustration. With this many Foot crawling around, how will he and Sally find the others and regroup before the Foot find them? Or worse…
Don and Mikey have made into the nearest alleyway. They went deeper into the alleyway and hid behind the nearest dumpster. The two turtles were nearly wiped out.
"Let's rest for a second." Don said. He was getting more tired than he was on the roof battling the Foot and the Shredder. Speaking of the devil, Don looks over to his right to find that he was closer than the Turtles imagine. "Whoa."
Accompanying him with two Foot Ninja, the Shredder gestures his men to search in the same alleyway that the two youngest reptiles are right now. Guess the youngest will be the first to taste death at the hands of their enemy.
"It's the Shredder." Don alerted his brother but the orange turtle was looking at the other direction.
"And some of his little friends." He turns back to face his brother and points at the direction. "Look."
Don looks over to see his brother wasn't kidding. Three more Foot Ninja were at the other end of the alleyway. Look like Don and Mikey are trapped with the additional inure foot. They looked at each other; wondering if they will be able to find a way to avoid them. Also, it would be too late to hide in the dumpster that was right exit to them since the Shredder and the Foot were getting close and it will make too much noise.
But they suddenly looked up to see – to their luck – a fire escape. Perfect! Just before the Foot were coming closer, Don, with the help from Mikey despite his injury, jumped up and grabbed the ladder and climbed up. The three Foot then joined their master and the other two Foot as they exchange no information on the Turtles.
The Shredder could only growl in disappointment. He raised his gauntlet. "Nothing! Keep searching!" he ordered his troop. The two group of Foot went their separate ways and resume their search again. High above them were two very lucky Turtles who are right now away from harm. They find themselves in a bathroom of an unknown apartment. Don looks down from the window still to see the Shredder was leaving the alleyway as he climbs back into the room. Mikey was sitting on the bathtub; raising his foot on his supporting knee.
"My ankle's killing me. You better leave me here; I'll only slow you down." Mikey stated.
"Can the noise, Mikey." Don said; searching through the cabinet box. "It's just a sprain ankle. We need to wrap it properly."
He leaves the cabinet box to find no bandages in stock. Now, what would be a good substitute to wrap a sprain ankle? Don then looks to his right to see a pair of stocking hanging up on the handrail of the shower.
Since there were no bandages, guess this will have to settle for now as the purple turtle snap his fingers. He grabs it off the rail and begins to wrap his brother's foot. While the temporally doctor is doing his job, Mikey looks over to his left to see a tub cleaning brush. He grabs hold of it and starts to brush his head despite having no hair.
"While you're doin' that, I'll just brush my long flowing locks." He laughs. Don looks up to his brother in disbelief.
"Nice." He goes back to work when he heard a door opening. He and Mikey looked to the source to see a small kid just standing there; rubbing his eyes. When the kid gets a good look of them, he did not let out a scream. The kid himself was shocked as he drop his jaw to see two large turtles in his family's bathroom.
Mikey smiles at the kid while Don tries to shush the kid. They were hoping that he would not turn them in.
"Mom! Mom!" He runs off to find his mother. "There's two giant turtles in the bathroom and one of them's got your stockings!" Oh boy. Their cover's been blown by some kid. Don and Mikey sheepishly laughed as they make a quick getaway.
The kid now brought his mom to the bathroom. "See mom. See." But to his disappointment, the Turtles were already gone. The mother crossed her arms over and looks down on her son; raising her eyebrow at him.
"But…they were right here. I swear." He said. But the mother still looks at him; not believing his story of giant turtles in their apartment.
It turns out he was right about the Turtles who are climbing across on the clothes line as they move to find their brothers.
In another alley, two Foot Ninja were walking through the alley looking for any sign of the Turtles so they can bring it to their master. They keep walking into the alley and then they stopped and turned around. They were hoping to capture their prey if they stick around in the alleyway but unfortunately, that wasn't going to be the case.
One of the Foot Ninja sniff in the air and turned to his partner. "Something around here really stinks."
"Don't look at me." The second said.
Waiting for them in the shadows was a familiar face. Raph sneaks up the two Foot, grab their heads and smacked them together; instantly knocking them out. Once they are on the ground, the red turtle felt the need to sniff his armpits and place his fist on his hips.
"I don't smell that bad…do I?" he asked himself. Maybe his time in the dumpster must grow on him. Unbeknownst to him, someone was right behind him as his claws approach the red turtle. Just before the turtle leaves to find his brothers, the claws grabbed hold of his shell and yanked him back into the shadows. Raph struggles out of his kidnapper's grasp and turns around. He was hoping it was the Foot but to his relief, it wasn't.
It was his dear old father, Master Splinter.
The red turtle was relieved and shock to see his father. "Master Splinter?"
But the rat shushed him for being too loud. He doesn't want the Foot to find them.
"The others; we got split up." He whispers Splinter.
"Come. We must find them." The rat said to his son as they exit the alleyway by this time, sticking to the shadows. They just hop that the others have not got into too much trouble.
Unfortunately, only two of them did. Both Leo and Sally have been found by a large number of Foot Ninjas and they were in a heap of bug trouble. With their swords in hand, Leo and Sally begin to back up into a dead-end of an alley-way.
The two ninjas hold their swords out in front as they prepared themselves. Just as the Foot were about to take the first towards them, a man suddenly swoops down into the fray. Hey! Where did he come from?
The strange man smiled at the two ninjas, pulls out his own Katana from his trench coat and arms it at the Foot. Huh? Where did that sword come from? The sword was just like any Katana but it had a guard on one side of the blade and a unique handle as well.
The Foot Ninjas gasped at the sight of their new warrior. All of a sudden, the blade then started to glow bright. Leo and Sally could only stand there; speechless. How does his sword do that? I gotta get a pair for myself.
Not far from where the two sword masters are, Don and Mikey find themselves in a very familiar alleyway. It's where they had their first fight with the Purple Dragons – and later, the Foot Ninjas. Just when they were about to take another break, two more figures drop down from the building.
Both Don and Mikey let out a gasp as they noticed the figures. Since the orange turtle was in position to battle, guess the purple turtle will have to go solo. He carefully puts the Turtle down on the ground, whips out his Bo-Staff and gets ready to defend him and his brother.
The two figures then walks towards the defensive turtle and stepped out into the moonlight. Don lets a sign of relief to find some familiar faces and low his weapon down.
"Am I glad to see you guys." He said.
Relieved as well, Raph approach his younger brother and hits him in the arm in a brotherly way. "We heard you two miles away." Raph stated; probably from hearing Mikey groaning in pain.
Speaking of the orange turtle, Raph looks behind Don to see his brother; groaning in a different kind of pain, the one that gets his big brother's full attention. And by the sound of that groaning, it doesn't appear to be good. Raph becomes very worried about this and kneels down to his brother's level.
"Mikey, you okay?" he fearfully asked; concern for his brother.
The poor turtle shakes his head. "I dunno if I can make it. Raph is that you?" He then looks to see his older sibling. "The lights – the lights are turning out!" He begins to shake his head. "It's all going dark! Tell Raph...tell Raph..."
Raph was now getting really worried about his brother but something tells the others that Mikey wasn't exactly in pain and might be just playing around.
"I'm right here, Mikey. I-I-I'm right here next to ya!" he told him; placing a hand on his shoulder.
"You tell Raph, he's always been..." All of a sudden, he cracks a big grin. "A big cheese head!" Raph was at first shocked when he realised he was tricked but the reaction has melted away for a second because he was now absolutely peeved off. Nice one, Mikey.
"Syc! I can't believe you fell for that!" Then, the orange turtle goes back to his poor dramatic acting. "Oh, oh the lights are turning out!" he lets out a big laugh.
The furious then bawled up his fist; ready for some payback. "I'll turn your lights out for real, wise guy!" he sneered at Mikey. He reared his fist back; ready to punch him…
"Raphael, Michelangelo quiet down. If we could hear you, so could the Foot ninja." He pointed out; raising his stick at them. "We must move more quickly than this."
"We could always leave Mikey behind." Raph tease his brother.
"Hey!" Mikey irritate exclaimed.
Don feels around his shell to find that he didn't brought the remote that he needed. "I didn't bring the remote for the Battle Shell where I can get it—"
While the purple turtle was talking, Splinter reaches inside his robe and pulled out the remote. Good thing he picked it up.
"Here."
Don puts on a grin on his face. "Perfecto, Sensei! Looks like…" but he was halted when the brainic of the group looks up to see the worst has come. On the streets is what could be 20 of the Foot Ninjas and they have the team of mutants cornered. "…we're surrounded."
He wasn't kidding. They were everywhere and they got the whole path blocked off. Don looks behind to see that they are more of them who have every exit covered. Look like the Turtles and the rat are trapped. They only option is to fight as the ninjas advance on them.
Don pulls out his Bo-Staff and turns to his father. "Master Splinter, use the remote. Get the Battle Shell."
At that moment, the ninjas all leaped at the Turtles as Don twirls his weapon around and do the same thing. Raph was right behind while Mikey and Splinter decided to sit for this one.
Splinter pressed a button on the remote; hoping for the Battle Shell to come. Back at the warehouse, the Battle Shell was switched on with the headlights on and smoke coming out of the pipe.
But the rat thinks he pressed the wrong button so he pressed a couple more which caused the truck to reverse back into a cabinet. Look like Splinter wasn't smart enough to work a remote.
Back to the fight, Raph advances on the three ninjas; punching one away and kicking the second in the face. As the third one brought down his Katana on Raph, he blocks the sword; holds it and flips him over Raph's head.
Back to Splinter with the remote, the rat was still trying to figure out how to use the device. Did anyone teach him how to use it? He pressed a couple more button which, back at the warehouse, activate the radar which pops out, slide up and down on the rod, goes back and flips the lid up and down a couple of times. Thinking that was the wrong one, the rat growls in frustration.
Don leaps in the air with his Bo-Staff at ready lands in front three Foot Ninjas, jumps over the first two, whacks the first off his feet, push the second one away, blocks the third one's Katana attack and strike him away which sends him flying into a support pillar; destroying it and sends a portion of the roof crumbling to the ground.
Don looks back to see his father; struggling with the remote with the knowledge of not knowing which button to push. Guess he should have told him which button to press.
Don looks forward and takes a few steps to block one of the Foot wielding a Kama before kicking him away. Raph deals with more Katanas; breaking them off and Splinter was still dealing with the difficulty of the remote. He pressed another button which activates the rocket launchers.
But no rockets. Just smoke.
Splinter growls in more exasperation; not finding the right button. He pressed a couple again. This activates a Missile launcher. But instead of locking on a target, it wobbles around before putting back in. The irritated Splinter continues to press more buttons while growling at the same time. The Battle Shell then shuts down after being overloading with too much commands in one night.
That's it. He gives up. If he doesn't know which button to press, my son will know. He looks over to his left to see his son.
"Donatello, here." He passed the remote to him. "I will fight, you will drive." he said before he leaps into battle. Well, at least he will be able to good something that he is good at. He lands between two Foot and whacks both of them away. Two more came over and whacks them away as well. He twirls his stick around before jabbing it into someone else chest.
"Activating remote." He said; pressing the red button. Back at the warehouse, the Battle Shell was turned on and the Turbo Booster kicked in. The warehouse door was open as the truck zooms out of the place and into the streets.
Back at the fight, Splinter whack two more Foot Ninjas away, takes a few steps forward and whack the last of the entire Foot Ninja clan that the mutant were facing tonight. The rat holds up his hand and stick as the fight came to a finish. All three Turtles all looked dumbfounded at the result. They have never seen their father fight like that before in their lives.
"Master Splinter…you kick butt!" Raph complimented his father. Now, with that's down and waiting for the Battle Shell to come, the search was resume to find rest of the family.
Back where Leo and Sally are still, they have just witness a new fighter joining the fray. Not to mention the mystical sword that he possess. Other than that, the two ninjas have no knowledge of whether this ninja is here to help them or not, they both hold up their weapon and stayed alert.
As they were prepared to defend themselves but in this case, they don't need to.
The mystery man lets out a snarl look before he advances…on the Foot? He slashes and slices their Katanas and Bo-Staff in half, throws them around with all his might and delivers powerful kicks and punches to either the gut or the face until they was no-one left standing.
Except for the two stun teens and the unknown ninja. The new fighter was holding a knock-out Foot before he drops him to the ground and switch off the glowing of his Katana by the click of the button on the handle. Seriously, I need to get a pair of them.
He puts the sword away as he walks up the teens; still holding their weapon out in front of them. Leo was cautiously taking a couple of steps back while pulling his sister away from the approaching man. But they still kept their swords at him; just to make sure that he attacks them.
"O-kay, this is new." He mutters. The mystery man halts in front of them. "You're definitely a ninja, but you're not one of them."
"I am simply… a Guardian." He answered. "Beyond that, I cannot tell you anything more."
"Helpful information." Sally sarcastically comments. The…Guardian lowers his head and begins to shake it.
"I am sorry, but I cannot reveal everything to you now." He then lifted his head to look at them and holds his fist in front of him. "Just know that you too are caught up in a battle that is bigger than you can imagine." A battle? Bigger than we've imagine? This sounds pretty serious.
Still aiming their swords at him, Leo doesn't know if they should trust him since he trusted Saki. Sally, on the other hand, feel like that they should.
"I pretty much heard that already from Oroku Saki." Leo said.
"Yes. It was the only truth that the Shredder told you." He then takes a step forward. "But, know this: By rejecting the Shredder and his evil, you have made an alley this day." He held his hand out for them to shake his hand as Leo and Sally both lower their weapons.
The two teens could help but smile. Finally, someone who is against the Shredder and wants to help fight him. Guess we can trust him.
The two swords master sheathes their weapons in their scabbards and they shook his hand.
Coming on the same street as they are, Raph, Mikey, Don and Master Splinter were all riding in the Battle Shell. Don has a lock on Leo and Sally's Shell Cell which they are both at the same location. During the entire ride and since this was the rat's first time riding in the truck, he has been constantly arguing about his son's driving skill that nearly drives the purple turtle's head right through the roof.
"Slow down! You drive too quickly!" the rat barked. But Don has a hard time ignoring him while trying to keep an eye on the Shell Cell tracker that was installed in the Battle Shell. And by the look of the tracker, they were getting closer to their siblings. Don makes a turn into the alleyway where his two siblings would be.
Leo, Sally and the Guardian look ahead to see the truck coming towards them as it comes to a stop. Once again, the rat complains. "And that turn was too sharp!"
The Battle Shell's headlights are now shinning in their eyes. Both Leo and Sally shield their eyes with their hands as Don complained back to his father.
"Master Splinter, you've been backseat-driving the whole way!" the purple turtle roll down his window and pop his head out of the driver's seat window to see his older sibling; safe and sound and his other sibling here as well.
"Hey guys. Need a ride?" he asked; glad to see his siblings altogether. Both Leo and Sally still had the hand shielding their eyes from the headlight. It would take a second for their eyes to adjust the light.
"Sure!" Leo replied. He then gestures his hand where the Guardian was standing. "Guys, we like to introduce you to…" But realized that the so-called Guardian has vanished. "…the mystery ninja?" He must've left before they showed up.
Sally shrugs at this and with that, she and Leo all hoped in the Battle Shell where Leo is reunited with his family and Sally was examining Mikey's foot. It was sprain but it will eventually heal with the help of her powers.
Mikey was sitting in the chair as Sally's hand starts glowing and begins to heal his foot up. "Good to see you, Leo."
Don had his arm over his older brother's shoulder and took it off. "We were all pretty worried."
Before Raph said anything, the rat steps forward and he does not look too happy. "Yes, my children. But now…you are safe."
He then lifted up his hand and smacked all five of his children in the face. Sally was expecting Splinter to do something to his boys like that but she was not expecting him to slap her as well. All five kids were now rubbing their sore cheek.
"Ow!" Mikey shouted.
"Hey!" Don exclaimed.
"What was that for?" Raph asked.
"For being so foolish!" he harshly replied to his children and lifts his stick up. "You should have never tried to face the Shredder alone." He explained. "He is too powerful."
"You're telling me. I've got bruises that have got bruises." Don complained
"And did you see the way the Shredder walked right through that fire?" Leo added.
The young kunoichi stands up when she finishing rubbing her cheek. "What?! He did? Man, I miss all the good stuff." Sally moaned; crossing her arms over.
"Yeah, he's like The Shreddinator or something!" Mikey voiced with an Arnold Schwarzenegger accent.
The young kunoichi looks over to her father. "And why did you slap me? I haven't even met the guy yet!"
"That was for leaving the Lair by disobeying my order!" He sternly said to his daughter.
Sally was actually speechless. She thought she told Sensei that she was going to rest but he must have sense her leaving the Lair.
"Well…somethin' was a miss in the air and I knew the guys would be in trouble so I had to leave…to get them…out of…trouble." She nervously explained to her father who was still glaring at her.
Splinter closing his eyes for a second before he opens them up again. "Very well. At least, you had a reason."
Sally lets out a sign of relief; avoiding punishment from his father. He then turned to his four boys.
He turned his attention back to rest of his children. They actually went and did something far worse than what Sally did. "You have stirred the hornet's nest. He will not rest until he finds us."
"What should we do Master Splinter?" Leo asked his father.
The rat closes his eyes and begins to think for a second. Usually, it would take a long time for the rat to come up with a decision but this time, this was a serious matter. He looks up to his children with an answer.
"Let him find us." he answered.
All the teens looked at each other; uneasily with their Sensei's response but their trust him all the way. "I have long wished to avenge my Master Yoshi."
And Serenity Hope. My mother.
He winched his eyes into a sneer look. "Now is the time." the rat declared.
"But, how do we let him find us?" Don wonders; hoping for some way for the Shredder to find them. But the rat calmly answers them.
"Sit still."
"I dunno, Master Splinter. Sitting still isn't one of our strong points." Mikey disagrees with his father. With that comment, Splinter gives him a stern look. Sally could actually tell that it was more of a do you want me to slap you again? look. Mikey gets the message and changed his words. "Riiight. Sitting still it is. I like sitting still. Sitting still is good."
There is definitely no turning back now. It's time…to avenge Hamato Yoshi and Serenity Hope.
(On the streets, Manhattan, NY – 11:55pm)
It was getting close to midnight as the streets of New York were dead silent like the streets in the Old West.
After a night of awe and extreme battling, the team of ninjas decided that they was no turning back. They have to finish what they have started. The family of ninjas have parked the Battle Shell below a fire escape of a tall building.
A sudden breeze in the air sweep up discarded newspaper and begins to flow against the streets. Standing underneath the lamppost not far behind the truck was danger.
The Shredder and his ninjas.
The evil lord lifts up his gauntlet near his face as light flashes across his blade. He has found what could possibly be his target's transportation. He then approaches the vehicle and scrapes his blades across the side of the truck to determine how long his enemies have been here. And more importantly, where.
He then looks up and points his gauntlet at the nearest rooftops. And how right was he. Because up there waiting for him are six familiar characters which two are dying to meet for the first time in so many years.
The four teen mutants were leaning up against the support beams of the water tower; looking in their unintentional, but overwhelming beholding poses as a cool breeze whipped their bandana tails around.
For the young kunoichi and the rat, they were sitting right above them on the water tower. Splinter was in his kneeling position with his stick rested on his lap and Sally's right leg was hanging off the edge while the other one was close to her chest and her bandana tails was whipping in the air as well. The two ninjas had their eyes close for a while now.
They were waiting for the Shredder to show up. To show up and finish what they have started.
After a few seconds, Sally and Splinter's eyes quickly but calmly whip open.
They're here.
At that moment, a mass of Foot Ninjas have jumped up from the streets and onto the rooftops where they find the Turtles, Sally and Splinter all waiting for them. Not long after they arrived, so does their leader.
The Shredder lands in front of his army to face his new adversaries and aims his gauntlet at ready.
Mikey was startled by his appearance. He was getting scarier by the minute. "Dude…" he uttered. Leo just looked at him as the orange turtle rubs the back his head but turn their attention on the Shredder.
The Shredder sneers his eyes at the Mutants who have brought more company as he and hi men are all prepared for battle and so we're the teens. Mikey tighten his bandana.
"Let the butt-kicking begin." Raph declares.
On the water tower, the young kunoichi stands up for the ledge and hops down to be beside her brothers. She looks on the Shredder with nervous but irate expression.
"So, we meet again." she muttered. Leo heard what she said and looks at her. Again? What does she mean again? Does she know him?
But the blue turtle decided to put it to the aside as he and his family brought their weapons as their prepared to fight the battle of their lives.
"Foot Ninja:" the Shredder lifted his fists in the air. "ATTACK!" The Foot did what their master commanded and charged at the teens. And so did the teens.
For the first strike, the Turtles and Sally easily whack away the first few which made Shredder not pleased.
During the battle, Splinter watches his student battle. "Remember, my children, even the mighty oak bends before the raging storm winds." He lectures to them.
Mikey was nearby to hear what he said as he jumps up and punches down a Foot in the back. He looks up to his father with a confusion look. "Huh?" he answered.
Not understanding what he meant, the rat face palm as he shakes his head and lets out a signs. He looks up to give a similar explanation. "Be careful and do not become overconfident!"
Sally was also nearby to hear him as well. "We won't." she said while leaping in the air and delivering a double kick in the Foot's face.
Raph charges at two Foot and tackles them to the ground. He then flips up to meet with another one with a Bo-Staff. The Foot swings the weapon at his head but the hothead ducks and kicks the black ninja away.
Leo is dealing with his own set as leaps in the air and jumps on their shoulders and heads and kicks the last two he sees.
Still with an inure foot, Mikey was doing fine by himself. He twirled his Nunchaku in the air when a Foot brings down his Bo-Staff on him but Mikey blocks it with his weapon. He then twists his Nunchaku over; locking the staff in and kick the Foot in the guts. Unfortunately, he kicked it with his injure foot. He thought Sally had healed his foot but she did mention that the foot wasn't fully healed yet.
"Ow!" he yelps; grabbing his foot and begins to hop up and down in pain. Not long, another Foot who was coming up right behind; preparing to grab him but Mikey saw him coming and sweep him under his foot. Too bad he use the wrong foot.
"Ow! Ow!" he yelped again; hopping again. This was followed by another one and again, Mikey kicked him away with the same foot. Now, his foot was in pain.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow." He uttered; grabbing his foot again while hoping as well. But his foot wasn't his main concern. With him distracted, the Shredder comes up to him and does a might kick to the chest which send the orange turtle flying towards the water tower. He hits the support beam; shell-first and falls to the ground.
Thanks to the impact, Mikey winces in pain and grabs his foot. "YEOW!" he screamed. His yell was so loud that the birds that just happened to be near him flew off the ledge and flied away. But after the pain subside, he was back on his feet and resume fighting.
Don twirled his Bo-Staff and used the end to flip a Foot over his head. Another one was coming up behind him but Don was quick to jab him in the gut without looking behind. Don then looks up in shock to see another Foot flying towards him with a Katana; ready at hand. He strikes it down on the turtle's head but the purple turtle blocks the attack with his Bo-Staff, kicks him away and twirls his weapons again.
The Shredder leaps down behind him and prepares to strike the distracted turtle with his gauntlet. But he was kicked in the back by a red turtle who was not going to lose his brother to him. The Shredder falls forward but uses his hands to push off the floor, somersaults in the air and lands near his team of ninjas. Losing more ninjas by the second because of the team of teenagers, the Shredder was not going to give so easily.
"GET THEM!" he bellows an order. The remaining of his team all leaped up and charged at the ninjas. One ninja throws a number of shurikens at Leo. With the help of his Katanas, he spins them around; deflecting the on-coming attacks without hitting him. One attack leads another.
More Foot Ninjas approach the turtle as he gets ready to defend. The Foot brought down their Katanas but Leo blocks the attack with all his might. He pushes the swords off his and delivers a spinning kick; knocking as many away as possible. One of them crashes into another power generator but instead of exploding and burst into flames, it only emitted smoke.
Don uses his staff to pole vault into the air and brings his staff down on another Foot who block the attack. He strikes above but Don blocks that and flings it away; causing him to fall down. The purple turtle spins around to protect his shell from a Foot with a Katana. But thanks to his Bo-Staff, it broke in half as the turtle does a side kick in the gut; sending him away. Don goes back to block the attack from the Foot with the Bo-Staff. Right now, his father was hasn't spoken a word until now.
"Hold your staff higher. Sweep with the left foot from that position." The rat lectures his son. Oh great. First, in the Battle Shell and now, in battle.
Just then, another ninja charges Don so the purple turtle pushes his attack off, sweeps his weapon at the on-coming Foot's feet that jumps the attack and goes back to the first attacker with the staff and blocks the attack.
"Gee, now you're backseat-ninjaing me, Master Splinter." Don complains as he pushes the first on off and whacks the second one away before facing off against the Shredder who approaches him. Looks like Don is in trouble.
As quick as lightning, the Shredder delivers three palm hand strikes and finishing off with a deadly punch which sends the brainiac of the group flying in the air, silds across the roof and hits the wall shell-first; dropping his Bo-Staff in the process.
A Foot was backing up as he tries to defend himself from the blue turtle on-coming sword attacks. But once the Foot delivers an attack, Leo blocks and kicks him away. During that time, he was unaware of the Shredder's presence that lands right behinds him. He raised his gauntlet; ready to deal the deadly strike against the leader of the team. He brings it down; preparing for the blow…
"NO!" his attack was halted by the red turtle who saved his brother from his doom with his Sais. He tries to hold them against the Shredder's blade. But using his free hand, the Ninja Master grabs his belt and throws him with ease at the same wall; near his younger brother. 2 down, three to go.
Mikey was surrounded by a group of Foot Ninja. The orange turtle looks around before he whacks all of them away and knocks them to the ground. Despite his injure foot; he did a pretty good job. But he was not ready for the next one.
The Shredder appears right behind. But just before the turtle faces him, the Shredder knocks him away and was thrown into the same wall and right next to his brothers. With two more to go, the Shredder will so be victorious.
The next one was the blue turtle himself. He slashes one away, turns around, leaps in the air and kicks another to the ground. He then prepares to look around to see if they were more but to his horror, he looks up to see the Shredder who was standing right front of him. The Shredder then sucker punches him in the face and was soon met up with the wall and his brothers who all crowded around their eldest.
The Shredder walks towards them; preparing to deal with the final blow as most of his men crawled away. The rat that was sitting out for most of the fight stands up. His sons couldn't beat the Shredder and now, they are going to meet their end. But there was one person left. Where is Sally? He looks over to his left to see a young girl; struggling against two Foot Ninjas.
While dealing with blocking two Katanas from each side, the young kunoichi looks over to see her brothers are in trouble as the Shredder approaches them. Desperate to save them, she pushes off her attackers and does a spilt kick in the face; knocking them out.
She races towards them while putting one of her swords away. Just before she reaches the monster who was about to kill her brother, she leaps in the air and prepares to stab him in the back. But the Shredder hears her coming and delivers a devastating punch in her guts. The impact of it knocks the breath out of the fighter. Her brother gasped at the impact but good thing he didn't stab her…yet.
The Shredder flips her over his head and throws her hard on the ground where rolls over to her brothers whom caught her in their grasp. Sally grabs hold of her aching stomach. As she and her brothers look up to the behemoth approaching them.
The Shredder halts in front of them and raised his gauntlet in the air as light flashes across the blades.
"None of you will leave here ALIVE!" he roared.
This was it.
The Shredder has proven too hard to defeat from five teenage ninjas. He was just too strong. Too strong for four Turtles and a young girl.
Sally tried her best to avenge her mother. To face this monster as a ninja but as girl with superpowers, she doesn't know if she can do it since she has no battle knowledge when it comes to her powers. Right now…she was too scared. Too scared to go on.
Sally closed her eyes and begins to shed a tear. I'm so sorry, Mother.
With the girl as his first target, the Shredder brings down his gauntlet…
"Shredder! NOOO!"
Splinter jumps in and rushes to his children's safety. With his speed, he manages to save his daughter from certain death and blocks the Shredder's blades with his stick.
The students of Splinter couldn't believe what they have witness. Just before they were about to take a dirt nap, they were saved at the last minute by their father. Thank goodness he was here to help. Otherwise, the teens would be goners.
"You destroyed my family once! I will not allow that to happen again!" he assures the monster.
The Shredder growls at this. He couldn't believe what he was witnessing. A rat in his presences who is here to stop him. The Ninja Master will allow this. "NO MAN OR FREAK CAN DEFEAT ME!" he bellows.
"That remains to be seen!" the rat said. He steps aside, jabs his attacker in the back and jumps away from his children and lands in front of the support beams of the water tower. The Shredder looks over to see the rat and decided to finish him off before he deals with the Turtles and Sally.
The rat looks behind him to see the support beams. Something about this water tower could use to his advantage. He turns to face the Shredder and flicks the fingers toward himself – bring it on.
Falling for the trap, the Shredder charges at the rat that calmly walks inside the structure; preparing him to defend for the first strike. Once the Shredder delivers a number punches, kicks and tried to stab the rat but the ninja rodent himself was dodging and blocking every move with ease. His student could only watch there in awe. They have never seen their master move and fight like that. This proves that their father is more skilled than his children.
The Shredder advances inside the structure; trying to deal another blow to the rat but he continues to block the attack. The Shredder does a kick to the shins but the rodent jumps and quickly ducks an on-coming slash to the head. But instead of slashing the rat's head off, he slashed a bit off on one of the support beams. Although the Shredder doesn't see it, Splinter does. He turns back to smile at his opponent who tries to slashes his head again but Splinter ducks; cutting through the beam completely and moves to the next one.
Back where the Turtles are, the pain from the blow to the stomach begins to ease; Sally stands up see what her father is trying to do.
He's leading him to his own demise. Sally finally catches on and smiles for his father.
The Shredder follows the rat to the next support and misses slicing the rat's head off and slices the beam instead. This was then repeated a few more times before the water tower begins to wobble over the head of the fool. The Shredder looks up and then realised what he has done. Instead of trying to attack his foe, he attacked the support beams of the full water tower that going to fall down on him anytime soon.
Even if he attacks the rat, it was going to be too late. Splinter sneers at the Shredder before he delivers the final strike.
"This is for my Master Yoshi!"
The rat leaps up in the air and kicks one of the weaken braces nearby by. The Shredder looks at rat gasping as the wooden structure; due to its heavy weight, tips forward and begins to fall down…straight for the Shredder himself.
The Turtles and Sally climbed to higher ground before the water decided to sweep the teens up. The Shredder begins to run from the danger as the tower comes crashing down; busting out gallons of water which sweep everything in its path. Helpless against the current, the Shredder; along with his ninjas were then wash off of the edge of the building and onto the streets below.
Seeing no sign of the Shredder, Sally jumps off the higher ground and races to the edge of the building. She looks down to see most of the Foot Ninja; dangling on the fire escape while the Shredder is lying head-down on the ground. Sense he was moving still, Sally needs to avenge her late mother; no matter what. She looks over to her left to see the wooden structure hasn't falling off the building yet. She goes behind it and stands in a horse stance and holds her right hand back.
"This is for my mother." She utters. She thrust her fist forward and in that one move, the wooden structure falls off the building.
Back on the ground, the Shredder tries to stand after his long fall but turns around to notices the remains of the water tower coming straight for him. He lets out a scream before the tower smash him into the ground; crushing the Shredder underneath it.
The Turtles and Splinter then joined Sally at the edge and stood there for a while. They watch from below to see what appear to be remains of the wooden structure of the water tower but no sign of the Shredder. They don't think no human can survive this which actually proves that he has finally been defeated.
The Shredder is finish.
The Turtles all looked shocked at both Splinter and Sally for delivering the final blow to defeat the Shredder.
"Master Splinter…Sally…" Leo said who was shock as his brothers are.
"Are you two…okay?" Mikey asked them.
Splinter lets out a sign and looks to his daughter who was right beside him. She looks at him. He gives her a nod; a sign of his saying "Well Done".
Sally smiles at her father. They both have finally avenged the ones that they love. The ones that they loved and now, their souls can finally rest in peace. She turns back to her brother. "Yeah, we're fine."
"Come, we have avenged my Master Yoshi." He turns to faces his sons and walks off. "Let us go home." His children couldn't agree more as they follow their father. Leo helped his younger brother by grabbed Mikey's arm and rests it around his neck.
"I'm all over that." Don agreed.
"Yeah." Raph also agreed.
"I gotta tell ya home never sounded so good." Leo stated.
Once they got down into the streets, Sally was at the end of the pack. She pulls out the necklace that she got from her Sensei earlier this night.
Although she has avenge her mother, there are still more questions that need to be answer. Her powers. Her mother's past. The Shredder's knowledge about her and her mother's. And maybe…her real father.
Perhaps, sometime in the future, they will come to her, rather than the Shredder himself. But in her case, she is glad that the evil is gone and that she can finally rest easy.
"Sal?"
She looks up to see Leo; standing right in front of her. "Are you ok?" he asked.
She looks over his shoulder to see her family who were all piled in the Battle Shell; waiting for her. Splinter nods at her. Since he knows the story, her brothers should know as well.
"Listen, when we get home…there's something I need to tell you guys." She said; walking past Leo, walks to the back of the Battle Shell and hops in.
"Tell us what, Sal?" Raph wonders.
Sally sits down and looks down on the necklace as Don starts up the engine. "Let's just say…it's a story. A story before I met you guys." Look like Sally has a long night ahead of her; finally telling her origin to her brothers. The Battle Shell drives off into the streets and into the night.

Back in the alleyway where the remains of the water tower still lies on the ground; a fist has punched its way out of the rubble of a wrecked water tower. Look like the evil lives on for another day…
With one of the biggest saga done and dusted, there plenty of more adventures in stock for our heroes and plenty of more secrets to unravel. Find out next time on:
The Saint's Hope: The Unconvincing Turtle Titan & Psychic Girl
Author's notes: WOW! For more than three months I did a gnarly job of writing this series. I did pretty well if I do say so myself.
Anyway, I have something to say to all my fans.
…
While writing this story, I feel like that once I have finish it, more than three years would have gone if I used my time wisely. Which also means, I don't have the time to finish my other stories that I have started a long time ago.
And now, here comes the hard part…
Get ready for this this because once this chapter is up, this story…is going on…Hiatus.
…
Look, I know what you are thinking? WHY IS SHE STOPPING THIS STORY WHEN IT IS JUST GETTING GOOD?!
Well, you can hold your horses because I have a very good reason why.
It's my other stories. The ones I haven't done yet. I need to finish them. I made a committed to finish these stories not matter what.
In other words, this is not goodbye. I'll still be here and writing other stories. Just not this one at the moment because it takes about more three years to write it in my book but once I'm done with the other stories, I will get back to this one. I promise you that. I don't know when but hopefully, this time next year or so.
So, I am REALLY sorry about this but you guys will understand. So, thank you for your love and support so far and I will see you again real soon.
So, remember to review and add me or the story to favourites. Love to hear more from my fans! Sayonara!
Until we meet again,
