Ch 8 Admissions
Kenshen arrived back at his lair carrying a still unconscious Raph. When Karai saw her brother with the knocked out Raph her brown eyes went wide, "Kenshen what.." the teen began.
"Later Karai," Kenshen said roughly. "Where's Father?"
"In his room," Karai said. "But..." Before she could continue Kenshen headed towards his father's room. Karai followed her brother just to see what was going on. Kenshen knocked and the Shredder said, "Enter." Kenshen opened the door and walked in while Karai listened at the door. "What's this?" Shredder said when Kenshen placed the unconscious Raph in front of him.
"Bait," Kenshen said simply.
"You're a fool turtle for bringing him here," Tiger Claw growled from his place beside the Shredder.
"And you're the fool for calling me a fool," Kenshen said his voice low as he glared at Tiger Claw. Kenshen had his hand on his nunchaku as he said this part. "And I may just have to teach you a lesson about calling me names," he hissed beginning to pull out his nunchakus. Tiger Claw growled and reached for his sword at the same time.
"Enough!" Shredder shouted causing his son to jerk his head up. "Tiger Claw if you ever call my son a fool again the result will not be favorable to you."
"But Master what use is this other turtle to us?" Tiger Claw asked.
"Well if you would shut up and listen I'll tell you," Kenshen growled. Tiger Claw snarled at Kenshen and was about to respond but he was silenced by Shredder holding up his hand. "Continue my son," he said.
"Thank you Father," Kenshen said with a small bow. "We can us this turtle as bait to lure Hamato Yoshi out of hiding. He'll come if one of his sons is in danger."
"Hmm," Shredder said tapping his fingers on his chair arms. "Very well we shall do that."
"And I think the docks are the perfect place to ambush them," Kenshen said happy that his father approved.
"I agree my son," Shredder said.
"So tomorrow at midnight we can do the plan," Kenshen said. "If that's alright with you Father."
"It is," Shredder said. "Well done my son. I am proud of you."
"Thank you Father," Kenshen said with a bow. "But what should I do with him in the mean time?"
"Lock him in the dungeon," Shredder ordered.
"Yes Father," Kenshen said picking Raph up and carrying him out. Kenshen passed Karai on his way out and he nodded his head for her to follow him. Karai nodded back and followed her brother down to the dungeon.
"Master..." Tiger Claw began. But he didn't get to continue because Shredder got up suddenly and flung Tiger Claw to the floor. Tiger Claw's eyes got wide as he looked up at his master.
"Let that be a lesson in humility to you Tiger Claw," Shredder growled the moonlight gleaming off his blades. "Never question me or my methods again."
"Yes Master," Tiger Claw said standing. "My apologizes. It won't happen again."
"Good," Shredder growled. "Now be gone." With that Tiger Claw bowed to his master and exited the room.

Kenshen and Karai entered the dungeon and opened one of the cages. Kenshen dropped Raph hard on the floor and began to chain him to the wall. Just then Raph began to wake up. "Ugh my head," he muttered trying to rub his head. But he couldn't due to the chains around his wrists. "What the.." Raph said his green eyes wide. Then he saw Kenshen locking the final chain into place. "What.." Raph began wincing from the throbbing pain in his head. "What are you doing?"
"What does it look like?" Kenshen hissed glaring at Raph.
"I don't get it," Raph said shaking his head trying to clear it. "Mikey why..." But he didn't get to finish because Kenshen grabbed Raph by his throat and slammed his head hard into the cement wall behind him. Raph groaned in pain and his green eyes went wide as Kenshen put his face inches from Raph's face. "Don't call me Mikey!" he hissed squeezing Raph's throat. "EVER!" With that Kenshen released Raph and he gasped in air. "You're lucky I need you," Kenshen growled standing and walking away. "Consider this to be a favor."
"Yeah," Karai chimed in glaring at Raph. "A favor by not killing you. Yet." With that Karai and Kenshen both let out evil laughs and walked out of the dungeon slamming the door behind them.
"Hey wait!" Raph cried out. But they were already gone. "Damn it!" Raph swore yanking on the chains that bound him ignoring the throbbing pain in his head. "I've gotta get out of here!" But no matter how hard he pulled the red masked turtle couldn't break free. Finally after a long time of trying Raph let out a frustrated grunt. But he was determined not to give up. He was going to get out even if it killed him.

Meanwhile Kenshen and Karai were heading back to their room. "Kenshen are you sure this is a good idea?" Karai asked as they walked.
"It's perfect Karai," Kenshen declared. "And luckily Father agrees with me."
"I just hope it works," Karai said. "I mean how can you be so sure Homato Yoshi will show up? I mean if he was willing to sacrifice his supposed son before why wouldn't he do it again?"
"Because," Kenshen said. "This one is the strongest turtle. He won't risk losing his best warrior. Trust me sis this plan will work."
"If you say so Kenshen," Karai said. With that the siblings continued to walk in silence.

Meanwhile Leo had met up with Donnie, April and Casey in the lair and had told them what had happened. "We've gotta go rescue him!" Casey declared with passion.
"How?" Donnie asked. "I mean it's not like we know where the Shredder's lair is or anything like that."
"Yeah and we only have 'til midnight tomorrow," April pointed out.
"Well isn't there like a tracking device on Raph's T-com or somethin'?" Casey asked.
"Well yeah there is," Donnie said. "But there's no signal coming from it. Which mean either it's turned off or the more likely scenario it's been destroyed."
"So we're basically screwed," Casey said with a grunt.
"No we're not screwed," April said. "I mean if we meet them tomorrow then there's a chance we'll get Raph back. Right?"
"Highly unlikely," Donnie said shaking his head. "It's more than likely a trap or an ambush. I highly doubt that they have any intention of actually letting Raph go. Or us for that matter."
"Besides," Leo said. "Kenshen said that he wants to meet with Splinter. Not us."
"So we've gotta bring Splinter into this don't we?" Donnie asked.
"Yeah," Leo said with a sigh. "We do."
"And that means telling him that Mikey is alive but has no memory of us and has been raised by the Shredder all these years," Donnie said.
"But first we need to tell him Raph is missing," April pointed out.
"The question is," Donnie said. "How do we tell him Raph is missing?"
"Uh I think you just did," April said looking over her shoulder. The group turned and saw Splinter standing there a look of concern on his face.
"Sensei," Leo began.
"Raphael is missing?" Splinter asked looking at his sons.
"Yes Sensei he is," Leo said. "He's been captured by the Shredder. But there's more."
"I am waiting Leonardo," Splinter said looking at his oldest son. Leo looked at his brother and his friends who all nodded. Taking a deep breath the blue masked turtle decided to tell his father everything, "Mikey is alive Sensei," Leo said.
"Michelangelo is alive?" Splinter said a look of shock on his face.
"Yes Master Splinter he is," Donnie said. "But..." But Donnie didn't get to finish his sentence because the next thing he knew Splinter's eyes rolled back in his head and he fell to the ground.
"Master Splinter!" April and Casey cried out.
"Father!" Leo and Donnie cried out as Splinter's unconscious body hit the floor.
A/N Hope you all enjoyed ch 8 and as always review please.
