The oldest stirred in his long sleep and opened his eyes to mumbled yelling. He sat up to see his brothers next to him, all sleeping. The youngest had white bandages around his leg where he was injured.

They were in a semi-dark room, the only light coming from the japanese screen doors. He could see where the yelling was coming from on the door too. It was the two-legged creatures again, being chewed out by a much bigger, sharper two-legged creature.

The oldest walked to the door and opened it, only enough to listen and go unnoticed.

"What made you idiots think that I would be pleased to see abominations in my building!" The sharp, silver one said.

"No Master! They show potential of ninjas!" The one that was bitten said. "One of them was even able to-"

"You dare to disobey me, you worms?" The sharp one yelled, making the oldest mad. "Get rid of those freaks! NOW!"

The little Leatherback had enough. He jumped out and quickly grabbed the sharp one's arm, surprising him.

"No...get rid...of!" The Leatherback snarled as his eyes glowed red. "No...freaks!"

The two-leggeds watched in shock as the little leatherback actually FLIPPED the sharp one!

The oldest of the turtles growled down at the sharp two-legged as he was on his back, growling up back. The sharp one grabbed the young leatherback and threw him into the room, making him fall hard. The three other brothers woke up in shock of hearing that and ran to the oldest.

"You will pay for that runt!" The sharp one yelled.

The leatherbacks growled as they stood guard of their older brother. They charged towards him and started to bite and claw at him. But the way he swatted them away, it was obivious that they weren't as strong as their brother. Though, they were still fighting with the oldest at their side now.

It took time, but they soon wore out and are now laying on either their shells or stomachs. The sharp one started to think. They were good, persistent fighters. Maybe they would be useful it the near future.

the other two-leggeds walks in, waiting for their master to speak.

"They shall live." He said. "But only if they show the 'potential' you speak about! If they fail, both their and your heads will be mine! And do not tell anyone of what you've seen tonight!"

The two-leggeds nodded quickly and left. The sharp one looked back at the leatherbacks, who started to growl again. He even noticed that oldest's eyes flashed red again, but ignored it.

Shredder grabbed them all by the legs (the youngest by his good leg) and dragged them somewhere as they struggled to get free. They entered in a much larger room where they were thrown to the ground.

"It seems you must be call something other than turtles." The sharp one said.

He grabbed four masks from under the table and walked back to the snarling turtles.

"Akuma." He called the oldest as he put a dark blue mask on his head.

"Shi." He called the second oldest as he put a dark megenta mask on his head.

"Hakai." He called the third oldest as he put a brown mask on his head.

"And Oni." He called the youngest as he put the final, gray mask on his head.

The leatherbacks were confused, but they listened to the Sharp one's words.

"From now on, your only loyalty is to I, the Shredder, your new master! Do I make myself clear?" The shar-er-Shredder asked.

The younger brothers growled, but Akuma looked at them threateningly to signal them to calm down. Akuma looked at the Shredder and tried his best to say these simple words.

"Yes...Master..."

(The reason that Shredder and the foot ninja were being called 'two-leggeds' and 'The sharp one' was because these prolouge is more is the Leatherbacks point of view. They are only newly hatched, so they don't know that much yet.)

Akuma means Demon

Shi means Death

Hakai means Destruction

Oni mean Ogre
