The turtles were doing another training session with Bloom and the kunoichi could tell that they were improving but they were still unable to land even a single hit on her and they were left groaning from the intense training.
"Geez how are you able to fight without tiring?" Mikey asked
Splinter was also curious about this because even he would've gotten tired after that much training.
"Well remember when I said about chakra?" Bloom asked
"Of course, chakra is your life force and spiritual energy that you can weaponize" Leo said
"Correct Leo" Bloom said
"Show off" Raph muttered
"Well Chakra also acts as our stamina so the more chakra someone has the longer they can fight" Bloom explained
"So how long can you last before tiring?" Donnie asked
"At least three days if I don't use any big moves" Bloom said
"THREE DAYS?!" Mikey asked loudly
"I must admit that this chakra is incredible to have" Splinter said
"Well like I said everyone has different levels of chakra. Some have more than others while some can have less than others" Bloom said
The turtles soon got into an argument over which weapon was the best and continued bickering much to Splinter's dismay.
"Ah my sons, so naïve. They don't understand" Splinter said
"Give them a break, after all they're still learning" Bloom said
Leo was instructed by Splinter to attack him with his swords only for Leo to be defeated easily by his father.
"You must understand my sons that a weapon can only be as good as the ninja who wields it" Splinter said
Frustrated he left the lair for a night exercise.
"Leo wait!" Bloom said
"Let him go" Splinter said
"But" Bloom said before going silent
"Leonardo needs to cool his head for a bit. He'll be able to think rationally after he calms down" Splinter said
Bloom understood and stopped trying to pursue him. She then saw that his brothers were going after him and sighed before following them.
"Are you sure we should be out here spying on him?" Mikey asked
"Master Splinter said to let him cool his head, but he didn't say that we couldn't keep an eye on him" Raph said
Bloom wasn't sure whether this was right or not but she stayed with the rest of the turtles so she could keep them out of trouble.
Leo soon came back after meeting with Saki and were confronted by the other heroes.
"You really going to believe the words of the black ninja. He's our enemy" Raph said
"But I could tell that what he said was sincere" Leo said
"I don't know bro, I'm not sure if trusting that guy is a good idea" Mikey said
"Yeah, after all don't you remember that those black ninja stole that ancient sword way back then?" Donnie asked
"Why can't you all see that he's not the bad guy here? He's sees potential in me that no else can" Leo said
Raph and Leo got into a fight and Raph was almost thrown off the roof, but he was able to save himself from his fall.
"I'm sorry Raph, you could've been really hurt" Leo said
"Yeah, you really are an idiot, luckily I don't hurt too easily sword boy" Raph said
It was decided that the brothers would talk to Master Splinter. Everyone then learned about the Foot clan and their leader Oroku Saki was the leader and was known as the shredder. The shredder was the one responsible for Master Yoshi's death.
The heroes returned the next day and gave the sword back to them.
"Tell your master no deal" Leo said
The foot soon attacked them.
"Need help?" Bloom asked
"Could you sit this one out? We want to prove our strength to them" Leo asked
Bloom nodded but remained on standby just in case they needed it. She watched the turtles defeat them with ease and smiled.
Just then Hun arrives for his rematch against them.
"I've been waiting for this" Hun said
Hun charged at them, and they struggled to damage him because of his massive bulk. Leo managed to defeat him with a series of kicks and was sent tumbling down the building's skylight window in defeat.
"Whew now we can go home" Mikey said
Bloom then saw another figure and the turtles were able to see the figure too and saw that he was clad in spikey silver armor.
"The time for games is over" The figure said
He removed his helmet and revealed to be Oroku Saki, the shredder.
"You see me as I am. Burn this into your memories for it is the last thing you will ever see" Saki said before putting his helmet back on.
"Now prepare to face your destiny and your doom. Foot Ninja attack" Shredder said
Bloom still watched the battle, not wanting to interfere in their battle but at that moment she saw that the Shredder was on a completely different level compared to the turtles even with some training from her they were no match for his skill.
A fire soon started after a sword penetrated an electrical system on the roof. The turtles soon got separated and Shredder made the order to find them.
Bloom decided to find them first but before she could leave she was forced to dodge a blow from the shredder.
"You're not going anywhere. You're coming back with me" Shredder said
The redhead glared at him.
"Sorry I'm not interested in people like you" Bloom said
"You don't have choice. You can either come peacefully or I'll drag back by force" Shredder said
"Then you'll have to use force" Bloom said
"Very well then" Shredder said
Shredder soon charged at her and tried to hit her with a high kick but she ducked in time and tried to hit him with an uppercut, but the shredder dodged it in time. He swiped at her with his spiked claws but she backflipped to avoid his attack.
The shredder then jumped and came at her with an axel kick but Bloom grabbed his leg and spun him around before letting him go and was flying in the air but he managed to recover quickly and land on his feet.
"Hmm impressive, you have skills" Shredder said
Bloom glared at him and remained silent.
"However, you're holding back most of your strength. You're not going all out. Use your ninjutsu skills and show me what you're really made of" Shredder said
Bloom was surprised that he knew about her real skills but since he asked so politely then she couldn't see why she should deny him of his request.
"As you wish, but be warned that you won't get out of this battle unscathed" Bloom said
Bloom then performed her first jutsu against her enemy.
"Fire style: Phoenix flower jutsu"
Bloom released a shower of fireballs at her opponent and the shredder took the brunt of her attack head on and was knocked back. Bloom then used another jutsu to take him down for good.
"Fire style: Fireball jutsu"
A giant fireball was unleashed towards shredder, and it exploded right in his face. Bloom looked at wreckage and saw shredder walk right through the fire like it was nothing. She was shocked to see him mostly unscathed from her attack.
"What on earth? How can he still be walking after taking two direct hits from my fire jutsu?" Bloom asked
"Impressive, yes very impressive. The power behind those attacks. The speed and accuracy of those moves. Yes…I'll take that power of yours for myself" Shredder said
"You don't seem to understand that this is power that you can't take" Bloom said
"The one thing you'll learn about me is that I'm very persistent" Shredder said
The foot leader then attacked her again but she was faster and dodged his attacks. He crossed his arms to block a blow from her but the force managed to push him back several feet. He then saw the redhead perform some ridiculous looking hand signals but then she performed her next jutsu.
"Water style: Water dragon jutsu"
Water appeared from the ground and took on the shape of a large serpentine dragon. It charged at him but he managed to jump to avoid it but it followed him and slammed into him while he was in the air and Shredder was sent on his back.
"Face it Shredder, you can't defeat me" Bloom said
The foot leader managed to get up after that blow and laughed.
"We will see about that" Shredder said
The redhead saw him take out the sword that he offered to Leo yesterday. He charged at her but she dodged his sword swings and it finally stabbed her through her stomach.
"You let you guard down and now you'll pay the price" Shredder said
Bloom's body disappeared with a puff of smoke and her place was a log.
"WHAT?!" Shredder shouted in fury.
Bloom then performed her next jutsu.
"Lightning style: Dragon fang bullet"
A lightning dragon appeared and shocked him severely and the damage was extra severe since it was raining outside. The redhead then performed an axel kick and knock shredder back against the wall on the roof.
Once again Shredder managed to get up and looked at his opponent.
"I knew you would be a tough opponent but I won't stop until I make your power mine" Shredder said
"You can't win, I'm far stronger than you" Bloom said
The shredder laughed as more foot ninja appeared.
"That might be the case but I outnumber you" Shredder said
Bloom saw that she was surrounded by several ninja.
"Even you can't take on so many opponents at once" Shredder said
Bloom smirked. Shredder really thought she was outnumbered but in reality she could outnumber him if she wanted to. She was a one woman army.
"Shadow clone jutsu"
Bloom made twenty copies of herself and this was shocking for Shredder to see.
"What?!" Shredder said in surprise
Her clones soon took on the foot ninja and managed to defeat them and all of them came back to her side.
"Shredder, you can't take on this army by yourself, can you?" Bloom asked with confidence
Her clones charged at her but Shredder used his sword and managed to cut them all down, but he did take a couple of hits from her clones, but he wasn't out yet. The shredder saw that she was gone but noticed that there was one foot ninja still standing and reported that the girl got away.
Shredder realized that this soldier was a fake because he knows how many foot ninja he brought with him and tried to strike the ninja but he dodged and poofed, revealing that Bloom used a transformation jutsu to try and fool him.
Shredder then charged at her again performed a stomp that she managed to avoid. Shredder then made brought out another tool and slammed it on the ground. Smoke appeared and the shredder disappeared in the smoke.
Bloom focused and detected Shredder's presence behind her. She jumped, turned around quickly and performed a mid-air kick that sent shredder back. The smoke cleared and Shredder was getting more frustrated as their battle continued.
"It must be frustrating facing an opponent stronger than you. You've gotten used to taking on opponents less skilled than you" Bloom said
Shredder growled.
"You're lucky that I need you alive or else you would've been destroyed" Shredder said
"You don't possess the same abilities that I do so I would retreat if I were you" Bloom said
Bloom then sensed some more foot ninja approaching her and dodged some shuriken that were thrown at her. She was soon in the center of many ninja, including the shredder himself. All of them brought out some shuriken threw them near her feet which confused her since it looked like they weren't even trying to hit her. The shuriken then glowed, and a white barrier formed around her, trapping her.
White wires then came out of the shuriken and wrapped around her before she could have time to process what was going on.
"Finally! You're mine!" Shredder said
Hun soon reappeared and saw that his master had captured his target.
"Excellent work master" Hun said
"It's not over yet" Shredder said
He then sent out some white wires from his arms and they wrapped around her too.
Meanwhile the Turtles managed to reunite with Master Splinter in the battle shell.
"Are you okay, my sons?" Splinter asked
"Yeah we're fine" Leo said
"Good" Splinter said before slapping his sons across the faces.
"OW!" They all said at once
"What was that for?" Donnie asked in surprise
"For being so foolish, you never should have challenged the Shredder. He's too powerful" Splinter said sternly
The four them understood that he was powerful after their brief encounter.
"Hold on, where's Bloom?" Mikey asked
"She was still on the roof when the foot attacked maybe she was forced to face the shredder" Leo said
"Then we got nothing to worry about. She can kick Shredder's tin can butt easily" Raph said
"I wouldn't be so sure about that" Splinter said
"What makes you say that? You know how strong she is" Raph argued
"Even if she is stronger the Shredder is not afraid to use dirty tactics to win. He fights with no honor" Splinter said
"Then what should we do?" Mikey asked
"What do you mean what do we do? We gotta go back and help her" Raph said
"Raph's right, we can't let her face him alone" Donnie said
"I agree, besides now is the time for me to avenge my beloved Master Yoshi" Splinter said
The turtles went back on the roof and were shocked to see that the shredder actually managed to capture their friend.
"No way, he caught her?" Mikey asked
The shredder's white wire started to shock her with vicious bolts of electricity. The redhead's life force was soon being drained. Since her life force was her chakra that means that her chakra was being drained out of her body. The shredder soon felt the power that was entering his body and relished in it.
"Yes, this is the power I've been wanted for so long. I will rule this entire world with an iron fist when I master this power" Shredder said
"We need to save her" Leo said
The turtles and Splinter soon jumped onto the roof and faced him.
"Let her go Shred head" Raph said
The Shredder turned and saw the pathetic creatures that had tried to face him in combat.
"Ah perfect timing. You're about to witness my new rise to power" Shredder said
Donnie noticed that the shuriken on the ground were putting up forcefield.
"We need to get rid of those shuriken so we can free her" Donnie said
The turtles fought against the foot and managed to take out most of them. Leo managed to get close to them and destroy them with ease. He then went after the shredder and cut the wires.
"NOOO!" Shredder shouted
What ended up happening after that was that the wires were unleashed a massive amount of energy that knocked everyone back.
Bloom fell to her knees and panted but she was still alive and well.
Splinter approached her and asked her if she was ok.
"Are you ok?" Splinter asked
"Yeah I'm fine. A large amount of my chakra was taken away from me though" Bloom said
Shredder then fought against the turtles but he still proved himself to be the superior fighter and he seemed to be even more powerful than usual.
Hun charged at Bloom and the redhead seemed to have noticed that that the bulky henchmen seemed to be moving faster than last time. She dodged a blow and performed a very strong uppercut that sent him flying in the air and off the building.
Shredder then had the turtles in a corner and was about to kill them.
"None of you will leave here alive" Shredder declared
Splinter saw what he was about to do and jumped in.
"Shredder! NO!" Splinter said as he blocked his sharp blades.
"You destroyed my family once, I will not allow that to happen again" Splinter said
"No man or freak can defeat me!" Shredder said
"That remains to be seen" Splinter said
The rat then then parried his blades and hit the shredder's back with his cane. He jumped in front of the water tower and urged Shredder to bring it on. The foot leader came at him with all of his strength and the rat soon dodged his attacks. The shredder's claws were cutting the support legs on the water tower and Splinter finished him off for good this time.
"This is for my master Yoshi" Splinter declared
The rat then kicked one of the support legs of the tower, destroying it. With only three support legs the tower toppled over onto shredder and sent down to the ground below.
"Lets go home" Splinter said
The next morning, all of Bloom's chakra was recovered and she was feeling a lot better. She was a little embarrassed that she got caught in that trap but she managed to look past that.
She came out and saw the turtles talking to master Splinter about something weird happening to them.
"I'm telling you Master Splinter, I feel weird, we all do" Leo said
"I have felt strange too my sons. But I cannot explain it myself" Splinter said
The rat started to meditate with his sons but Bloom was shocked to see them exerting chakra.
"What on earth?" Bloom asked herself
Everyone heard her and came over to her when they saw that she was better.
"Glad to see that you feel better" Mikey said
"Thanks" Bloom said
"We've been getting this weird feeling in our bodies after that battle with Shredder and we don't know what it is" Raph said
Bloom was able to explain it to them.
"I don't know how to tell you guys this but I must" Bloom said
"Tell us what?" Leo asked
"All of you…have chakra" Bloom said
