Thirty years of extremely hard work had paid off on the turtles' most feared enemy, the Shredder. Even though he wasn't as young as he used to be, he still had the lightning-quick reflexes and strength that he did back in the days of his friendship with Hamato Yoshi. He sat on his throne, dressed in his armour and helmet, he leaned forward as the doors suddenly opened.

A familiar skeletal-dog with long, razor sharp claws walked in along with a mutant fish with upgraded robotic legs and wearing an eye patch over his right eye. The pair knelt in front of the flight of stone steps that lead to the throne of the Shredder and kept their eyes on the ground.

"What do you have to report?" the Shredder demanded calmly.

"Master, we have apprehended several criminals who were caught last night trying to attach an explosive device to one of the warehouses on the docks. What shall we do with them?" Xever informed, standing up straight and awaiting the answer from the Shredder.

"My judgement," the Shredder paused and turned his head and looked out of one of the large window panels before turning back to Xever. "Execution. Tomorrow morning we'll hold it for everybody to 'll make an example of those who resist me."

"As you wish, Master," Xever backed away and headed out of the room. "I will inform the guards to place them in the holding cells until the morning."

"Then what about you, Bradford?" Shredder asked, sitting back in his throne. "Simply came along with Xever to support him in his report?"

"No, Master Shredder," Rahzar stared up at the man and took a deep breath. "There has been no findings of O'Neil's base when we checked around the outskirts of the city last night. I'm sorry for my failure, my lord."

"You may leave me," Shredder stood up and walked toward the window panels, looking down on the city. "One day soon, scum," he hissed. "You will be found and I will take great joy in tearing each of your-"

The loud screech of the alarms of the building went off, cutting Shredder off from his threat. Shredder walked over to his throne and slammed his fist down on one of the arms of the seat, causing a hologram-like screen to appear in mid-air. "Bring up all of the security cameras," he ordered, watching as the hologram changed images and brought up a huge list of different areas being recorded on film in front of his eyes. The Shredder scanned the screen before walking straight through it and storming out of the room, his cape swishing with the fast pace he walked.

"Foot ninja, search the entire facility," Shredder ordered, walking over to one of the walls decorated with his "Slaying Weapons" and ripping one of his own katana blades down. "You reptiles have been a thorn in my side for far too long," he growled as he charged up the corridor.

"Great," April grumbled irritably as she, Leo and Mikey had been caught by the Footbots inside the building, who immediately sent an alert-signal to the Shredder. Leo stood over the destroyed robots and kicked one of out the way as he and Mikey heard a large amount of footsteps coming towards them and from the fast-sound of them, Leo knew that they were definitely running.

"Let's get this over and done with," Leo said quietly, raising his katana up as he heard the footsteps approaching. He listened out and heard the sound of one of the ninja lifting their leg and easily dodged the kick, ramming the handle of the katana into their stomach.

While the fighting was going on, Shredder suddenly appeared from the end of the corridor and glared at the two turtles, the blades of his hand-armour unsheathing as he slowly paced up towards them...

Raph and Donnie ran through a different corridor, undetected as April and their brothers had been discovered. Before Donnie could even touch one of the door locks of the lab Raph had lead them to, his red-masked brother simply stabbed the lock and the door opened straight away.

"I see you haven't changed a bit," Donnie sighed, walking over to one of the lab tables and shuffling through the notes of the researchers who had left the entire area after the alarms had been set off. While he did this, Raph simply tapped the glass containers of chemicals and opened the drawers and cupboards around him. "I hope the others are alright," Donnie called, but Raph simply shrugged his shoulders and continued "investigating".

"Hm," Raph mumbled, looking away for a few seconds and giving a thumbs-up at Donnie. "Don't worry about them, they'll be fine. We've been fighting these chumps for years, Don. Leo and Mikey won't hold back on them."

Raph carried on pawing through the file cabinets until he discovered something and quickly checked over his shoulder at Donnie, who had his back to him while reading a blueprint plan, before stuffing the folder into a small shoulder bag he had picked up as they had entered the lab.

"What are you doing in here?!" screeched a voice, followed by a several amout of buzzes. Raph groaned as a familiar fly mutant stormed through the doors of the lab.

"Dexter Storkman?" Donnie blinked, recognising the mutant straight away.

"It's Baxter Stockman!" the fly screamed, launching himself at Donnie who pulled out his Bo staff and batted the mutant away. Raph ran over, throwing the bag to the ground to help Donnie, who was easily defending himself against Stockman.

A force slammed into Raph, sending him on to the ground as Xever stood over him, smirking triumphantly. He placed a robotic foot on Raph's plastron and increased the weight, causing Raph to struggle to breathe.

Rahzar and way-to-many Foot ninja stood in the doorway, everybody surging forward and throwing April to the ground who looked like she'd been a bit roughed up, along with Mikey and Leo who both growled as they were shoved forward. Leo and Mikey helped April up as they were backed into the corner of the lab along with Donnie. Xever had removed his foot which caused Raph to scramble up and join his family, all of them pushing Donnie behind them.

"You're outnumbered," a sinister voice said as the threatening armoured leader suddenly appeared and walked through his ninja and stood in the middle of Xever and Rahzar. In the background, Stockman was being pulled up and lead out of the lab, limping as he was supported by one of the Foot ninja. Shredder trailed his armoured hand-claws against the tables, glancing at it and smirking at the team. "What a mess you've caused too! I never thought I'd dispose of April O'Neil and the three remaining turtles in one night!"
