A/N Ok you all here's the chapter that will introduce our favorite muscle heads. And I usually respond to each review personally but since all of you pretty much had the same reaction I'll say this: Splinter has lost has damn mind lol. But in all fairness he's doing what he thinks is best for his sons and he's just so afraid of losing them that he goes into WAY overprotective mode. And sadly its only going to get worse for the guys. But I'm glad that people are reading my story. Without further ado here's ch 4 for ya and as always see ch 1 for disclaimer.

Ch 4 A Shocking Reveal

As Splinter's words echoed through the lair the turtles finally found their voices.

"What?!" the three brothers cried their eyes wide.

"B-but Sensei you can't do that," Leo stammered, shocked that his father would do such a thing.

"I can Leonardo," Splinter said evenly. "And I have. And that is my final word on the matter. Good night." With that the brown coated rat left leaving his stunned and speechless sons behind.

"Give him time," Donnie said after a minute. "I'm sure that after a goodnight's rest Sensei will reverse his decision."

"I hope so," Mikey muttered. Then in a much louder voice he said, "I'm sorry bros. I didn't mean to tell Sensei.."

"Mikey its ok," Leo said, smiling at his youngest brother. "He would have found out anyways. Lets just try to get some rest ok?" With those words Donnie and Leo limped back to their beds while Mikey went into his room and shut the door.

Meanwhile on the other side of the city Ivan Steranko and Anton Zeck had arrived at the old TCRI building. "Man this place gives me the creeps," Zeck said, looking around the building nervously.

"Everything gives you creeps Zeck," Steranko said in his heavily accented voice.

"Man you know that ain't true Steranko," Zeck cried out, glaring at the Russian from behind his purple sunglasses.

"Is true," Steranko shot back. Zeck opened his mouth to retort but her was stopped by a booming voice.

"Silence!" came the thundering voice of the Shredder. Zeck and Steranko looked up and saw the armor clad man standing there with Tiger Claw by his side. Dog-Pound and Fishface were directly behind them.

"You wanted to see us Shredder?" Steranko said.

"Yes I did," Shredder responded as he walked towards the two men. "I have a proposition for you both."

"What you mean proposition?" Steranko asked

"A proposition means a deal," Dog-Pound said in a condescending voice.

"Man we know what it means," Zeck said, clearly annoyed at Dog-Pound's attitude. "Don't talk down to me son. 'Cause you don't wanna mess with me."

"You don't scare me punk," Dog-Pound growled, glaring at Zeck.

"Enough!" Shredder boomed causing the group to jump. "As I was saying I have a proposition for you both. And opportunity to get even with those cursed turtles.'

"Man we've already tried that," Zeck declared, waving his hand in front of him. "And it didn't work."

"They are smarter than we thought," Steranko put in.

"That was before," Shredder said, not taking his eyes off the pair. "The turtles haven't been above ground for months and are in a weakened state."

"Master there were only three of them when when fought them," Tiger Claw informed Shredder. "Raphael was not there."

"Even better," Shredder declared. "That will make it even easier to take them down. But you cannot do so in your current forms."

"What does that mean?' Steranko asked, giving Shredder a look. "What you mean by 'current forms'?"

"He means," Stockman said suddenly appearing. "That the two of you are due for a makeover." Steranko and Zeck exchanged looks of confusion. Stockman opened his mouth to explain but he was stopped by Shredder, who shot the scientist an angry look. This silenced Stockman, who muttered an apology.

"You two are going to be the newest additions to my army," Shredder declared.

"Army?" Steranko said, an evil grin going across his face. "I like that."

"Man I sure don't," Zeck cried out. "I don't do all of that. Army means trainin' and that ain't me."

"It isn't that kind of army you idiot," Dog-Pound growled, rolling his eyes.

"Man I told you," Zeck snapped. "You don't wanna mess with me. 'Cause I will light you up son!" With those words Zeck pressed on button that caused his suit to light up bright purple.

"Enough of this foolishness!" Tiger Claw roared, startling everyone except for the Shredder. "You will show the Master respect or I will tear you all apart!" This silenced both Dog-Pound and Zeck, who pressed another button causing the lights on his suit to go out.

"My army is a very elite army," Shredder declared as he walked towards the Russian and the African-American. "I have chosen only a select few. And now I have chosen you two to be apart of my army."

"Why you choose us?" Steranko asked. "I know why you chose me. But why you choose him?" Steranko pointed at Zeck when he said this part. Zeck opened his mouth to retort but the look Shredder gave him made him quickly close his mouth.

"You both are very skilled at what you do," Shredder declared. "And I have need for your skills. Steranko your skills in foreign trade will be most useful. And Zeck your technology skills will also be useful."

"So far I'm loving what I'm hearing," Zeck said with a grin.

"But what benefits do we get from working with you?" Steranko asked, eyeing the Shredder carefully.

"Plenty," Shredder said. "In addition to getting your revenge on the turtles you will also be given your fair share."

"I warn you Shredder," Steranko said, his voice low and threatening. "Do not do no double cross with me. You would not like the outcome." As he was speaking the light gleamed off the brass knuckles he had on as well as his diamond eye. Tiger Claw growled at the threat but Shredder shot the tiger a look and Tiger Claw went silent once more.

"Are you in or not?" Shredder demanded. "My patience grows thin and I will not make this offer again."

"Man I'm in," Zeck declared as he walked towards Shredder. "Sounds like a great deal to me."

"I'm in also," Steranko declared after thinking about it for a minute.

"Follow me," Shredder ordered as he turned and walked into the other room with Tiger Claw, Dog-Pound and Fishface right behind him. Zeck and Steranko followed behind them into the other room. Once the got there they saw two vats full of chemicals.

"What this?" Steranko demanded, giving the Shredder a look.

"Man this is some kind of freaky stuff," Zeck declared, staring into the vats.

"This is your reward," Shredder declared, indicating the vats.

"Man I didn't sign on for this freaky stuff," Zeck cried out, backing away from the vats. "I'm out." He turned to walk away but ran right into Tiger Claw, who glared down at the thief.

"You're out when the Master says your out," the assassin snarled, giving Zeck a hard shove. Zeck stumbled backwards and fell right into one of the vats with an ear piercing scream.

"Maybe this not such a good idea," Steranko stammered as he watched what was happening to Zeck. But like Zeck Tiger Claw wasn't about to let Steranko go. Giving the Russian a hard kick Tiger Claw made sure Steranko fell right into the other vat.

"And now we wait," Shredder declared, a gleam in his eye. Dog-Pound also had a gleam in his eye as he joyfully awaited for the disappointment that was about to come. After a few minutes the mutation was done and Zeck and Steranko emerged from the vats.

"Man I feel weird," Zeck declared, rubbing his head. Then he looked down and saw that his hands now had only three fingers. "Man what the.." he stammered. Then he reached up and felt his mouth, which now had tusks on it. Then he looked and saw his reflection in the water. "I'm a pig!" he cried out, jumping backwards and right into Steranko.

"What you do to us?" Steranko, who was now a rhino, demanded as he whipped around and snorted at the Shredder.

"What's this?" Shredder demanded, facing Stockman. "I thought I told you I wanted a lion and an elephant! Not a rhino and a warthog!"

"I-I'm sorry Master," Stockman stammered, fearful at what Shredder may do. "B-But this may not be a bad thing. Rhinos and warthogs are very strong animals. Not the brightest but very strong."

"Hey man watch it," Zeck cried out. Only it sounded more like a squeal than a yell.

"I kind of like this new body," Steranko declared as he easily punched through the cement wall.

"Yeah that's because you ain't no stinkin' pig!" Zeck cried out, clearly unhappy about his current condition.

"You're jealous Zeck," Steranko sneered. "Or should I say Bebop?"

"Man don't call me that!" Zeck cried out, steam coming out of his snout. "How would you like it if I called you Rocksteady?!"

"I would like it," Steranko declared. "In fact from now on I'll be Rocksteady and you'll be Bebop."

"Man no I won't!" Zeck cried out. "I hate that name! It sucks!"

"Let us go Bebop," Rocksteady declared, ignoring his outraged associate's words. "We have revenge to be getting." With that the pair were gone leaving a very satisfied Shredder behind.
