I'm sorry! I have been so swamped, first with school and finals, and then my bday was last week whoo hoo! 21 baby! and then more stuff for school came up, and then my flash drive broke, so i'm using my back up one. Anyway, I don't own the turtles, Casey, Splinter, April or any of the other characters from the show(sadly), they belong to their rightful owners. I only own Caitlin and AVP5 owns Chris. Hope u like and enjoy! **Forgot to add one little detail to this chapter which is why ur seeing it up again. Man, me and my stupid brain…**
Thirty Five: Return to New York(part 2)
Everyone stared in shock at Splinter. They just couldn't believe it. Their ninja master, and father, just like that appeared to be…gone.
''Sensei!'' Mikey screamed as they watched Splinter tear apart a couple of Kraang droids and a mouser bot that were attacking him. He slowly turned to face them, glaring at them before charging and lunging at Casey. ''Get him off of me! get him off me!'' the turtles quickly grabbed Splinter and pulled him away as Donnie tried to calm him down.
''It's okay Sensei it's us! your sons!'' Splinter struggled and tried to bite at Donnie. ''Please…try to remember.''
Mikey groaned, ''he's too strong!'' ''Sensei it's us, it's us calm down'' said Leo still trying to hold him down. It took him a few more seconds, but they finally managed to calm Splinter down. But suddenly, the mouser bot recovered and sent out an alarm signaling the Foot bots.
''Oh no the Foot!'' Leo took out his katana, ''Don't let them harm Splinter!'' but Splinter had other ideas as he turned and ran off. ''Oh no Splinter!'' shouted Raph, ''wait!'' Caitlin, Raph and Mikey tried to go after him, but more Foot bots appeared blocking their path.
They tried to fight their way though to get to him, ''After him!'' Donnie shouted and they raced down the tunnel to find him, but they were too late. A Foot bot had captured him and knocked him out.
''Sensei!''
*…*
Meanwhile, it was a dark and rainy night as thunder and lightning struck across the sky. And at Shredder's lair the Shredder was looking at an old picture of him and Karai.
I will find you my daughter.
''Master Shredder…'' Shredder looked up as he saw Tiger Claw walk in. ''You're enemies are defeated, do we wait for the lowly Kraang to mutate the entire Earth? destroy all of humanity?''
Shredder stood up, ''Watch your tone with me Tiger Claw. I'm well aware of the Kraang's plans. When the time is right we will destroy those putrid aliens. Then the city will belong to me. Now, keep searching for Karai.''
Suddenly, the doors burst open as two Foot bots came in trying to hold down Splinter. ''What?'' Tiger Claw said shocked, ''It cannot be…''
''Hamato Yoshi lives? he survived. But not in tact. He has clearly lost his mind, become the rat I always knew he was.'' Tiger Claw pulled out his gun, ''shall I put him out of his misery master?''
''No, take him to Baxter Stockman.''
*…*
A few minutes, later Stockman(fly) was working in his lab on a retro mutagen. ''A more arthropod DNA, buzz, might create a poss-buzz, ible retro-mutagen.''
''Stockman!'' Stockman jumped as Shredder walked in with three Foot bots trying to hold Splinter down as they threw him into a cage.
''I want you to restore Hamato Yoshi's mind. I want him fully aware of who and where he is, before I finish him off.''
''Yes, buzz, master.''
*…*
Meanwhile, the turtles, April, Caitlin and Casey were running through the sewers trying to get to Shredder's lair. They stopped as Raph looked down a tunnel and saw two Foot Bots guarding a manhole cover. Leo signaled him and Raph through the smoke bomb and Leo sliced through the Foot Bots.
''Nice job Leo'' said Caitlin walking over with the others. Leo nodded, and Donnie started messing with the lock. ''I'll have this baby open in no time,'' Donnie smiled as a second later the manhole cover opened. ''Like a turtle do.''
''Pat yourself on the back later, let's move.'' Suddenly the gang heard footsteps coming down the tunnel. ''It's Shreadhead…'' They took out their weapons ready to fight Shredder…but it wasn't even close to Shredder. Turns out, it was a small mutated version of Shredder.
The gang stared at it, before bursting out laughing. ''What the heck is that supposed to be? mini Shredder?'' Mikey chuckled, ''it's kind of cute, like a shrimp.''
The mini Shredder growled and charged at them, attacking Casey. ''Ah what the heck?'' Casey threw it off him, as they all jumped down into a deeper part of the sewers. ''And stay out you little freak!'' Raph shouted slamming the manhole cover behind him.
The gang quietly walked down the tunnel, leading to Stockman's lab. They snuck around watching Stockman tease Splinter with a piece of cheese before spitting on it.
''I'm gonna squash that bug'' Raph said with a growl, ''only if I get to squish him first'' Caitlin replied. Leo shushed them as they climbed down to Splinter's cage.
''Sensei, Sensei…'' Splinter looked over at them and made his way over. ''Quick get him out of there,'' Raph said as Donnie unlocked the door to Splinter's cage.
Caitlin walked over to him, as did April and she held out her hand. ''It's okay, it's okay,'' Splinter backed away, ''there's gotta be a way to reach him.''
''Red, Caitlin, remember the time you reached the guys through their dreams? what if you could like, do the same thing for Splinter? mind meld and stuff?'' asked Casey.
Caitlin groaned, ''thanks for reminding me about that Casey.'' ''No, believe it or not Casey may be onto something,'' said Donnie ''based on my research on telepathy it might be possible but there is only one way to find-''
''What is this?!'' Stockman flew up to them, looking panicked. ''ah crap…'' ''turtles? Caitlin buzz, April buzz, Casey? you were all destroyed?!''
''How's this for destroyed!'' Raph shouted as he threw his throwing stars right at Stockman. He glared at them as he started spitting at them.
''Look out!'' The guys quickly moved out of the way. ''April, Caitlin, try and wake Splinter up!'' Leo shouted as him and his brothers charged at him.
Stockman tried to reach the alarm, but Raph threw another ninja star, ''oh no you don't!'' Mikey threw his kursaigama chain at him, but Stockman flew away carrying him with him, until Mikey threw the other half of his kursagama onto a banister, knocking Stockman back.
The turtles surrounded him, but Stockman just laughed. ''Ha, let's even the odds.'' He pressed a button on one of the doors, revealing mini Shredder and two other Shredder like creatures.
''Do you like my Shredder mutants? they make excellent watchdogs.'' The creatures growled, and charged for them.
*…*
The fight wasn't easy, Leo was fighting the tall skinny Shredder(Shiva Shredder), Donnie was fighting mini Shredder, Mikey was fighting Stockman and Raph was fighting the huge mutant Shredder with claws(Claw Shredder).
And while all that was going on, Casey was trying to help the girls wake up Splinter. ''Splinter, wake up Splinter!'' Splinter glared at them and hissed. ''You are not a rat, you are Hamato Yoshi'' said April stepping closer to him.
Splinter hissed. ''Please Splinter, you need to wake up'' Caitlin begged. April and Caitlin closed their eyes and started to use their powers to help him remember. Splinter screamed as images raced through his head of the Shredder.
Splinter looked over at Casey and growled, tackling him ''ah not again!'' Casey pulled out the taser hidden inside his glove and shocked him as Splinter screamed in pain.
Meanwhile, Mikey was still trying to fight Stockman off. ''Aw yeah!'' he shouted as he hit him with a smoke bomb. ''Booyakasha'' Mikey leaned back onto the console accidentally setting off the alarm.
''Mikey!''
Upstairs the alarm was heard and Foot Bots raced down stairs while Shredder looked on in anger. ''The rat has escaped!''
*…*
Meanwhile, April and Caitlin while Casey looked on. ''Come on Master Splinter,'' said Caitlin ''come on please wake up…'' Suddenly Splinter's eyes shot opened and went to attack Caitlin and April.
''I got this red, Caitlin stand back!'' but Splinter knocked him out of the way, and charged for both girls, knocking them against the wall. ''Master Splinter,'' April said as both girls put a hand on his forehead ''look.''
Splinter screamed as more images raced through his head. Of him and his sons. His previous life. Karai. He remembered everything.
Caitlin and April winced, but Splinter touched their hands gently. ''Master Splinter?'' Splinter nodded before he raced to help his sons.
He charged at each of the mutant Shredders defeating them one by one. ''Sensei!'' Splinter turned to face his sons. ''My sons…'' the turtles raced over and hugged their father.
''I can't believe it.''
''You're back.''
''Oh I have missed you my sons. And the rest of my family.''
''Just please don't try and eat my face anymore'' said Casey and Splinter nodded. But the moment was interrupted when they heard a familiar voice. ''So the turtles live? and the rat thinks like a man again. Now you will know when my blade is at you're throat.''
Splinter went to fight, but Leo stopped him. ''Wait Sensei.'' ''Yes, now is not the time to fight.'' Caitlin nodded and gasped as she looked into one of the cages. Hayami? but she wasn't able to get a second look as Mikey threw a smoke bomb and they disappeared.
*…*
The turtles, Splinter, April, Casey, and Caitlin escaped through the tunnels, made it back to the party wagon and drove off. But suddenly someone jumped onto the roof of their car. Tiger Claw.
''There is no escape!'' but Mikey used one of the weapons knocking him off the party wagon and they made it back to the surface.
''We made it'' Donnie said with a sigh of relief. ''Yeah by the skin of our shells'' Raph replied. ''So where to now?'' asked Mikey, ''we have home to go back to.''
''Homes are transitory. What matters is that we are together'' said Splinter.
''We still need a place to hang our masks Sensei. Where are gonna live?'' Leo asked hanging onto Caitlin.
''Well there's the old power plant or an abandoned sewer tunnel or-''
''Wait, I have the greatest idea ever!'' Mikey interrupted. ''It's secret, fortified, and no one will ever think to look for us there!''
*…*
The abandoned Antonio's pizzeria. ''Perfect right?'' ''I wouldn't exactly say perfect'' said Raph rolling his eyes. ''It will serve. For now.''
''Next up, take the city back'' said Casey. ''Wait, Sensei, I never asked have you seen Chris anywhere?'' Caitlin asked biting her lip.
''Hmm. I have not seen him, but I know he is alive and is somewhere in the city.'' Caitlin nodded, ''then I'll find him.''
''And we'll find my dad,'' April spoke up. ''He's out there, they both are. And so is Karai…somewhere.''
