Chapter 1: Re-mutated.

It was a dark and stormy night at Darkmount, and Shredder was sitting in Shockwave's laboratory with his helmet just sitting on the nearby table. Randall was there too, and he was looking through some of the chemical beakers and test tubes that were sitting throughout the lab. There was also a couple canisters of mutagen sitting on the desk Randall was standing by, and Randall was the most curious about those very canisters.

Randall: "So Shredder, let me get this straight. You once got mutated like your henchmen—turning you into this big spiky and muscular mutant—but lost that power, and now you wanna get mutated again?"

Shredder: "Indeed Boggs, I actually felt good being a mutant. I was faster, stronger, more powerful than ever. The fire from my forest cabin must've melted away my mutation, but I just have to get it back."

Randall: "Is this why you brought me in here?"

Shredder: "Yes, I heard you once built a machine that extracts screams. So with your exact skills, you can help me bring back my mutation."

At that moment, a strike of lightning and thunder flashed a blinding light into the room through the lab window. And yes, this lab has windows.

Randall: "Ok, but couldn't you have gotten an actual scientist in our army to do this?"

Shredder: "When Baxter Stockman first gave me the mutagen, it turned out to be unstable. But he's not with us anymore, and you were the closest second we could find."

Randall thought about this for a moment, and then he gave a rather defeated sigh.

Randall: "Alright, I'll do it."

A few minutes later, Shredder was laying on a hospital bed with a few wires hooked up to the sides of his arms. Randall filled the tube ejector with the mutagen, and he got ready to eject it into his systems.

Randall: "Are you sure you're up for this?"

Shredder: "Do it!"

Randall: "Whatever you say."

With that, Randall pressed a large red button before turning a couple small knobs with 1 hand each at the same time. Slowly but surely, the mutagen started flowing through the tubes and into Shredder's systems. Shredder softly winced and tensed up from the pressure, but it felt good at the same time.

As the mutagen continued flowing, Shredder started loudly groaning in pain. As more lightning and thunder struck, Randall started laughing like a mad scientist in front of the window that was full of flashing lighting.

Randall: "Dyahahahahahahahaha!(coughs)

Suddenly, Randall started coughing after that major laughter. After he finished coughing, he just dusted himself off and continued observing the scene before him.

For the next few seconds, Shredder kept loudly groaning from the feeling of the mutagen flowing through his systems. But after that, and when the lightning and thunder calmed down…..everything stopped.

The whole lab was now cold silent.

Randall: "Uhh…...Shredder?"

At that moment, Shredder started getting the feeling of something emerging from his whole chain of muscles. It was sharp, but Shredder actually liked it.

Shredder: "The mutagen, it's working…...it's actually working!"

Suddenly, a set of 2-point wrist spikes popped out from the back of his hand. Shredder was impressed, but Randall just cringed at the sight.

Shredder started getting up from the hospital bed, and he started feeling more spikes growing on his body. The metal on his armor molded up with his mutation, and they formed into large spikey blades that grew from his arms, legs, shoulders, and back.(while poking through his cape) Aside from that, his heart was visible and glowing light blue at the very middle of his chest with ocean green veins glowing along some parts of his body.

Shredder also put his helmet back on, and it became part of the mutation as well. Now his helmet looked a little more spikey, and it looked more like a partly-melted skull.

As Randall watched in horror at the scene, Pounder raced in to see what all the commotion was about. He looked over at Randall, then he rattled/purred at him as if he was trying to ask something.

Randall: "Don't ask me, I don't even know what's going on with-

But before Randall could finish his sentence, he was strongly whacked into the wall on the far side of the laboratory by Shredder's now mutated arm. From Pounder's point of view, he now looked like a large bug that had been splattered on the windshield of a car. After a couple seconds, he just slowly slipped off the wall leaving some of his skin-slime stained on the wall.

Pounder stared shocked at this mutated Shredder, and he did nothing else but rattle/purr with nervousness. Once the feeling of his mutation faded away, Shredder threw back his arms and yelled out a roar for feeling such power after a good period of time.

As Randall army crawled back over to Pounder, Pounder just zipped away before anything bad could happen to him.

Randall: "Wait, don't leave me!"

But luckily, Tiger claw came in since he heard the commotion as well.

Tiger claw: "Shredder!"

When Tiger claw took 1 look at Shredder's re-mutated body, he was rather dumbfounded. But as Randall got back up, Tiger claw only had 1 question on his mind.

Tiger: "What did you do to him!?"

Randall: "Hey, I only did what he told me to!"

Tiger claw: "Well you should've-

Super Shredder: "Tiger claw!"

Tiger claw and Randall quickly turns towards Shredder after his sudden outburst, he then faces the fellow villains feeling quite satisfied.

Super Shredder: "It's fine, I shall be putting this form to good use once more."

Tiger claw: "But master, I…...the instability….you won't be stable enough to fight with it!"

Super Shredder: "Actually, the mutagen feels alright."

Tiger claw was confused, luckily Randall had the answer to that.

Randall: "Yeah, I just put in mutagen that was from a regular canister."

Tiger claw: "With all do respect master Shredder, are you sure you're still fit to use this form again?"

Super Shredder: "Yes Tiger claw, I will not fail at using it this time! Now go find Bradford, I'll be needing him on my upcoming mission."

Randall: "I'll Randall that."

As Randall started leaving, he couldn't help but laugh at the joke he just made.

Randall:(laughs) Get it, Randall it!?(snorts) Ahh, I crack myself up sometimes."

Tiger claw just rolled his eyes, then Randall left the room to run his errand. Rahzar was leaning against the wall in 1 of the fortress's hallways feeling rather bored, but then Randall showed up and he got up from his comfy spot.

Rahzar:(yawns) "Sup Boggs, what would you be doing."

Randall: "Shredder wants you to go on a mission with him, and he's got a large yet familiar trick up his sleeve…...If he had any now."

Rahzar: "Alright, I was hoping for some action today.(tightens his claws)"

Randall: "Yeah, whatever."

With that, Rahzar and Randall started walking back down the hall to Shredder—who was now, a Super Shredder— so they could get started on their mission. 1 thing was for sure, the heroes had no idea what lied ahead for them.

To be continued.
