Twenty: The Wrath of Tiger Claw
It was a dark and stormy night at Shredder's lair. Shredder was in the throne room sitting on his throne and Karai was there to.
She was standing near the windows watching the rain come down and looking at a picture of her mother.
Karai don't do this, Splinter, he's your'e father, your'e true father Hamato Yoshi.''
Caitlin said looking at Karai ''listen to him he's telling the truth.''
Shredder noticed the concerned look on her face and walked over to her. ''What is it that troubles you Karai?''
''I wanna know the truth, about my mother…and Splinter.''
Shredder stared at her, ''You know the truth my daughter, Hamato Yoshi took your mother away.''
Suddenly the doors to the throne room burst open, and a figure that neither of them had seen in weeks appeared. Tiger Claw. He looked a little different now, a little tougher and he also had an eyepatch on his right eye.
''I have returned.'' ''Tiger Claw.'' Karai was shocked, ''how you were eaten by a giant alien worm!''
''And you believe such a thing could contain my hate. My hate is what kept me going. As I tore my way out of the belly of the Krathagoon. As I battled my way through the armies of the Kraang. Across alien worlds that would drive lesser men mad. Finally back here, back to my enemies.''
Tiger Claw knelt in front of Shredder, ''I would have my revenge against Splinter, against his hideous reptiles and against those who trapped me in that wretched worms belly.''
Shredder nodded, ''I will grant you this wish.'' ''What? it's because of him that Splinter and the turtles are still alive in the first place.''
''Karai you will go with Tiger Claw. Destroy Splinter and the turtles at any cost.''
*…*
Meanwhile at Murakami's noodle shop, there was a showdown happening. ''I put up with you guys for a long time but this about to get real!'' said Mikey.
''You don't want this kind of pain Mikey,'' said Raph while Donnie rolled his eyes, ''big talk for someone with such a limited vocabulary Raph.''
Caitlin and Leo were sitting at the table watching what was happening. ''Are you sure your'e ready?'' Raph looked at Leo, ''are you kidding? I was born ready.''
''Okay Mr. Murakami.'' ''One pizza Gyoza coming up.'' He tossed into the air as the Raph, Mikey and Donnie tried to grab it in their mouths. In the end, they all ended up in a turtle pile as the gyoza landed on Leo's sword.
''I thought I play after all.'' The three stood up, ''What happened to Mr. 'I'm to broody for this game' asked Raph, but Leo ignored him, ''mmm this is really good.''
Mr. Murakami set out plates for the rest of the turtles and Caitlin. ''My restaurant was never that popular until I invented these for you.''
The others raced to the table and started eating as Caitlin stared at the gyoza, ''this is the food I've heard so much about?'' she took her chopsticks and popped on in her mouth, ''you weren't kidding these are delicious!'' she started eating hers but not before noticing the others were looking at Leo who had moved towards the window.
''He's still brooding'' said Donnie, ''he's thinking about her, about Karai'' Raph replied. Caitlin bit her lip and looked down at the ground.
''Master Splinter is her father how can she still wanna be with the Shredder?'' said Leo looking at them. Mikey got up on the table and said something, but it was hard to understand since he had gyoza in his mouth.
''Right,'' Donnie said standing up ''look Leo she'll come around.'' Caitlin nodded, ''I hope so.'' And I hope she will forgive me.
Raph shook his head and picked up another pizza gyoza, ''yeah well personally I hope she doesn't, I don't trust her not for one second.''
''Your'e right Raph,'' said Donnie ''you shouldn't trust anyone.'' Raph ignored him and went to eat his gyoza only to realize Mikey stole it from him.
''Mikey!'' Raph tackled him to the ground, Caitlin shook her head and then she heard her phone go off, she took it out of her pocked and saw the caller id. Chris.
''Guys shut up it's Chris!'' Caitlin shouted and picked up the phone, ''hello?''
''Hey sis, how's it going?''
''Chris where the hell have you been?''
''I've been to places. Oh and if yoiu heard anything about California that wasn't me. That was someone else that looked like me.''
''Why the heck did you leave? you didn't say anything, and I've been worried sick!''
''I'm sorry. I went to go see an old friend who had some information about our parents. Granted the stuff is old and is on a disc, but hopefully Donnie can take a look at it. But again, sorry I had you worried.''
Caitlin sighed and walked outside, ''it's alright, when are you coming back?''
''Right now,'' he appeared behind her surprising her. ''Hey sis.''
''Chris! you idiot'' Caitlin punched his shoulder then hugged him. Chris chuckles and returned the hug. ''I missed you too. Has everything been okay while I was gone?''
Caitlin shrugged, ''well…they could be worse…'' ''Anyway, what did you say you found? something from our parents?''
''Yeah, but like I said its on an old disc that I can't seem to use,'' Chris showed her the disc which is one of those old floppy discs and looked pretty worn out. ''I figure since Donnie is a computer geek that he could figure out how to use this.''
''Well you can ask him now. Him and the others inside.'' Caitlin took his hand, ''come on, they've been wondering when you would come back, and you need to try some pizza gyoza.''
''That's good, I'm hungry.''
*…*
Meanwhile, Tiger Claw and Karai were racing across the rooftops looking for the turtles. ''Having a hard time keeping up girl?''
''I was taking it easy on you since your working with only one eye and no tail.'' ''You think your'e clever? your'e a fool.''
Karai glared at him, ''I'm the fool? you faced the turtles in battle before and lost. What exactly is your grand plan for revenge here?''
''To destroy warriors such as these you don't strike at their limbs you go for their heart.''
''And what does an overgrown cat know of the heart?'' Tiger Claw knelt down, ''why do you think the Shredder sent you with me?''
Karai eyes went wide, ''because I know them. I know the places they go, I know their weakness. Their friends. April O' Neil and Casey Jones.''
''The riders of the worm they will pay for what they did to me.''
*…*
Later, Caitlin, Chris, and the turtles were back at the lair.
Caitlin and Chris were in the lab with Donnie who was trying to work with the disc Chris gave him and was converting what was on it onto flash drive.
''So?'' ''It's gonna take a while to be transferred to the flash drive Caitlin'' Donnie told her.
Chris let out a loud groan. ''How loooong?''
''I don't know exactly Chris'' Donnie replied.
Chris groaned again and Donnie rolled his eyes and went back to the flash drive. ''So Chris, where exactly did you get that disc?''
''Like I said a friend gave it to me.''
Caitlin nodded, ''and who exactly is this friend?''
''Just a friend,'' Chris started touching some of Donnie's stuff starting to get bored.
''Tell me who Chris.''
''No.''
''Tell me.''
''No.''
''Tell me.''
''No.''
''Tell me.'''
''No.''
''Te-'' ''Alright enough! you two are starting to get annoying!'' Donnie shouted, ''out!''
Donnie kicked them out of the lab and shut the door behind them. ''Tell me.''
''Why do you want to know?''
''Why won't you tell me?''
''I have my reasons. Don't worry.'' Caitlin sighed, ''whatever.'' Mikey came running in a minute later, ''guys I left my doggie bag at Murakamis.''
''No problem. I'll go get it. I'm getting hungry for some more. You want any Caitlin?''
Caitlin was still a little upset with him, but she had to admit she was a little hungry. ''Yeah fine. But when you get back we need to talk.''
''You got it.'' And he took off. ''Caitlin?'' Leo asked walking in, ''is something wrong?'' Caitlin sighed again, ''Chris won't tell me where he got that flash drive.'' ''Don't worry about it Caitlin, he'll tell you eventually.''
''You sure?'' ''I'm positive. Just let him keep it a secret for now.'' Caitlin thought about this, and as much as it aggravated her that Chris wouldn't tell her, but she knew Leo was right. ''Alright Leo, I trust you.''
*…*
Back at Murakami's Mr. Murakami was cleaning up and about to close up for the night. Until he heard a noise. ''Hello? is somebody there? Leonardo?''
He heard a roar behind him, ''Not quite.'' Karai threw him against the wall. ''The turtles'' ''I don't know what your'e talking about.''
''Lying will only make this worse. Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello where do they live?''
''I-I don't know please, please!''
Karai stared at the old man, and saw the look of fear in his eyes. ''There's no honor in this.'' She walked away, but Tiger Claw did not care. ''I didn't come here for honor.'' He extend his claws and was about to reach for the man, when he heard a voice behind him.
''Now I know I am not seeing what I think I'm seeing,'' Tiger Claw and Karai turned around and saw Chris standing at the door wearing his getup that he wears during his fights.
''Because I see a big pussy cat picking on an old blind man and messing up his shop. Seriously, for a group that claim to have honor you aren't doing a good job showing it.''
Tiger Claw glared at him, ''you.'' ''Me,'' then turned towards Karai. ''Her.'' Tiger Claw growled, ''do not mess with me boy.''
''Aww is the kitty getting angry? Careful or I will take your ball of yarn.''
Tiger Claw roared and charged for him while Karai watched in horror.
*…*
Back at the lair, April was getting some help with training from Caitlin as Master Splinter watched them closely.
Caitlin got into a stance, ''ready?'' she wasn't using her weapon since she didn't want to use it just yet as April nodded and attacked. Caitlin easily dodged her attacks and she could tell that April was getting frustrated.
April kept trying to attack her ''stay focused April'' Master Splinter said watching them. She took a deep breath before continuing their fight, but Caitlin got the upper hand and beat her.
''Yame. Come forward girls.'' Caitlin and April stepped up to him, and knelt in front of him. ''April you must stay focused and you must not rush into a fight. That is why Caitlin is helping you.''
''I understand Master Splinter.''
Master Splinter nodded, ''very good. That is enough for today.'' The girls bowed as they were dismissed and left the room. ''He's right April you need to stop getting frustrated, it's holding you back.''
''I'm trying Caitlin, it's not that easy.''
''Relax that's why I'm here. I'm gonna help you. just try to stay calm and see how your opponent works. Find their weakness.''
April nodded, ''I think I get it now. I'll try thanks Caitlin.'' ''No problem.''
Donnie walked out of the lab, ''hey Caitlin what's taking Chris so long with the food?'' ''hmm I don't know he's been gone for a while.''
Caitlin took out her phone and called him, but he didn't answer. ''He's not picking up.'' ''Don't worry Caitlin I'll call Casey and see if he can find him'' said April.
Caitlin nodded, ''and maybe we could find him, I gotta feeling that something is wrong.'' ''I'll go with you.'' ''And I'll go get the guys and check out Murakami's'' said Donnie. ''Alright, let's get going.''
*…*
Back to Chris, who was fighting against Tiger Claw. He was holding his own as they were fighting in the street, but Tiger Claw wasn't going down that easily.
''You fight well boy, but you cannot defeat me.'' Tiger Claw kept attacking him, but Chris dodged his attacks and kept moving out of the way of Tiger Claws blast from his laser gun as they missed their mark. ''And yet you can't hit me once. So your not doing much better yourself, pussy cat.''
Tiger Claw roared in frustration, ''that's it!'' he charged for him again. Chris continued dodging his attack and tried to go for a few hits himself.
But Tiger Claw was not affected by this and he used his jetpack to fly into the air avoiding the attacks and opened fire.
''Hold still!'' Karai wasn't sure what to do about this. She wanted to jump in and stop the fight, but she wasn't so sure Chris would let her.
Chris dodged more of his attacks and then grabbed a trash can lid tossing it at Tiger Claw. He dodged it, and Chris grabbed a sewer lid, hitting him and knocking him into an abandoned building.
Karai couldn't stand it anymore and decided to get involved ''Chris stop! I don't want you getting hurt, you need to get out of here now!''
''Why? So you can join your friend and attack me while my back is turned?''
''No Chris I mean it. I don't want to hurt you. You need to get out of here now.''
''If that is true then why did you and tiger freak here attack the old man? Hell how do I know if i leave you two won't go back to hurt him?''
Karai stood there shocked. I-I wasn't going to attack him. I didn't want to, please just trust me.''
Chris struggled he wanted to trust her, but not after she lied to him, tried to take his sister, and helping Shredder hurt his friends. ''I don't know if I can.''
He then saw Tiger Claw coming out so he grabbed Karai, used his super speed to get her away, and then came back to continue his fight. ''Ready for round two pussy cat?''
Tiger Claw shook the rubble from his clothes, ''bring it boy.''
Chris used his power to spin around Tiger Claw creating a vortex that sucked him in. Tiger Claw tossed used his blaster making Chris trip. Tiger Claw was finally able to attack Chris and get his hands on him.
He attacked Chris with some attack and threw him into another building. ''Not so tough now boy are you?''
Tiger Claw kept attacking him until he felt something hit his back. ''What the?'' ''goon gala!'' Casey hit Tiger Claw with his hockey stick and helped Chris up. ''You ok bro?''
Chris nodded and was happy to see his friend. ''Nice of you to stop by, Casey. I wish it was a little sooner though.''
''Sorry man, I tried to get here as soon as I could.'' They saw that Tiger Claw had recovered and looked mad. ''Well since your here want to help me fight the angry pussy cat?''
Tiger Claw roared, ''You just don't know when to stop do you?''
''Ask my friends. They'll answer that question for you.''
*…*
Meanwhile, Karai was sitting on a rooftop far from where the fight was happening. She had realized what he had done for her, and was going to back and help him, but not before Caitlin and April showed up. ''Karai?! what are you doing here?''
''Caitlin please,'' Karai said standing up, ''I don't want to hurt either of you I just want to talk. Your brother helped me escape from Tiger Claw. Please, I just want to talk.''
Caitlin stared at her and nodded and April put away her fan, ''start talking.''
*…*
Back to Casey and Chris who were still fighting Tiger Claw as he chased them around the city.
Tiger Claw growled in anger as they fight continued towards the alley where Chris and Casey used teamwork to hold their own against Tiger Claw. Chris used his speed to distract Tiger Claw, while Casey would hit him with his hockey stick and baseball bat. Tiger Claw tried using his blasters at the two fighters, but again Chris distracted him as he tossed a trashcan lid at him.
Casey used this distraction to hit his hockey pucks at the blasters knocking them out of Tiger Claw's hand.
Tiger Claw in anger charges at the two, but they get out of the way and continued the fight up the fire escape to the rooftops. There the two friends worked together against Tiger Claw as he lands across from them.
''Give up Tiger dude?'' Casey said mocking him. ''Never! I will defeat you!''
''We'll see.''
Chris used his super speed while Casey stood back waiting to attack. Chris kept Tiger Claw distracted allowing Tiger Claw to get close and attack him.
Tiger Claw kept attacking him, but Chris kept getting involved until Tiger Claw saw an opening and tossed a grenade at Chris making him trip and allowed him to focus on Casey as he knocked him off the roof.
''Casey!'' Chris ran to where Casey was thrown off and saw Casey fall and land on a dumpster.
Tiger Claw laughed, ''I knew you and your'e friend would not defeat me. Both of you are not powerful enough to go against a warrior like me.''
Chris clenched his hands and then turned around and confronted Tiger Claw angrily. ''You made a big mistake. You pissed me off.''
Tiger Claw scoffed, ''you cannot win boy.''
Chris used his speed to kick Tiger Claw in the chest knocking him off the roof and through the green house and Tiger Claw was a little surprise by the attack as Chris appeared in the doorway.
''We'll see about that.''
*…*
While that was happening, the turtles had split up Raph and Mikey to find Casey and Leo and Donnie trying to find where April and Caitlin went. And were they surprised when they saw them talking to Karai.
''There's April come on!'' Donnie shouted as he raced over to the rooftop, ''get away from her!''
''Guys stop!'' April held them back, ''you have to listen to what she has to say.''
''I believe you Leonardo'' Karai blurted out, ''I believe that Splinter is my true father.'' ''I believe her'' said April, ''I believe her to'' said Caitlin, ''I believe April'' said Donnie.
Leo was silent. Karai looked down at the ground. Something told her that Leo wouldn't believe her, but he surprised her.
''This is great! I'd knew you come around we'll take you to the lair to see Master Splinter.'' Caitlin touched Leo's shoulder, ''Leo wait, what about Chris?''
''She's right, he was fighting Tiger.'' Leo nodded, ''and Casey went after him. Raph and Mikey went already to look for him, so let's go find Chris.'' Leo looked at Karai, ''then we'll go see Master Splinter.''
*…*
Meanwhile, Chris and Tiger Claw were still fighting. They had moved off the roof and were now fighting all around the streets with Chris taking control and Tiger Claw was having trouble staying in the fight.
Chris's speed ha increased to the point where Tiger Claw was barely reacting to Chris's attacks and got knocked had against cars, buildings, and light posts.
Tiger Claw recovered and was pissed but tried to remain calm and focused and tried to come up with a plan.
He got a bright idea as he stood in front of a fire hydrant and when Chris charged at him Tiger Claw blasted the side of it as the water came blasting out knocking Chris down and Tiger Claw attacked him.
He beat him down and tossed him into a nearby building smashing through it. Chris struggle to get up and Tiger Claw kicked him sending him towards another building denting it and tossed him again out of the building and slammed him into a car. Chris struggled to get up while Tiger Claw pulled out his gun.
''Any last words?''
Chris was bleeding from his forehead, covering one side of his eye with blood and glared at him. Tiger Claw charged, but before he could his weapon, Caitlin appeared using her powers as she tossed a car at him.
She raced over to Chris and the two disappeared before Tiger Claw even saw what happened.
