The mutants move closer towards them with weapons in their hands. "What Are those things?" Leo asks curiously "My guess would be Genetically engineered hybrid clones. Recombinant genetic mutations of Shredder's DNA." Donnie explains as he spins his staff. "That's what I was gonna say. " Mikey comments as he twirled his nunchucks. Splinter blocks a blow from a lobster claws Shredder. A miniature Shredder charges towards Raph, who leaps over him.
"Hold still...You puny little..." He growls as the Mini Shredder jumps onto a wall then lunges towards Leo. He blocks of with his swords. Raph grabs his sais from the floor and the Mini Shredder kicks him away then attacks Leo again.
The four armed Shredder attacks Donnie from behind "Yo armed and dangerous How would you like some Nucks and Chucks?" Mikey asks before it grabs him and throws Mikey into the containers.
"April can you find us a way out of here? Fire stairs, an elevator! Anything?!" Donnie asks. "I'm working on it. I'll have you an answer in an second." She tells him. "Do me a favor. Work faster!" He replies as he backs away almost falling into the huge hole. Donnie catches himself with his staff. His headset falls off and breaks to the floor below him. "Donnie! Donnie! What's happening?!" April demands.
Yuuki slid under the four armed Shredder as it swings at her. She rushes towards to where Donnie was and reached down "Donnie take my hand!" He takes it, pulling himself up. "Thanks-...Look out!" Donnie pushes her away as noticed the four armed Shredder charging towards them, swinging it's claws.
As the Mini Shredder fights Leo and Raph. The lobster claws Shredder fights Splinter. He backs away and bumped into Leo and Raph as they did as well.
"My sons, on my signal." He tells them. The Lobster claws Shredder charges at them as the Mini Shredder does as well. Now!" Splinter exclaims. They ducked and the two mutants hit each other. The Lobster claws Shredder crashes into a control panel electrifying him. The Mini Shredder lands on it's back defeated.
"Help." A strangled voice calls out. They turned to see the Four armed Shredder squeezing Yuuki and Donnie. Donnie punches it on the shoulder trying to get free. Leo and Raph attacks it from behind and the four armed Shredder releases them.
"Michelangelo, with me!" Splinter orders. They both jumped on the container, tilting it. It falls down on the four armed Shredder. Mikey shell cell rings and he answers it "Mutant clone control, you splice ,em, we slice 'em." He said. "Mikey, is Donnie okay? He's not answering his shell cell." April explains. "Yo Donnie, it's for you!" Mikey calls out throwing his phone to him. Donnie pulls a new headset out from it.
"April what'd you find?" He asks. "Private elevator. Hidden behind a secret panel. Like also showing wiring leading to a control button under a lab table in your vicinity." Donnie runs to the tables and reached under one until he felt a button "Got it." He pressed it. The door opens revealing the hidden elevator. Right across the big huge hole on the other side of the room. "And how are we supposed to get across that? " Raph asks. " No sweat i came prepared." Donnie explains throwing a grappling book at a pole above them. He swings hims towards the elevator then throws the rope back.
Mikey takes it and Splinter as well. Mikey boxes a Tarzan yell as they swing over. Donnie and Splinter looked at him. "What? At least it ain't Cowabunga." He retorts then he throws the rope back. Raph takes it until something let's out a roar. Yuuki and Leo looked to see the lobster claw Shredder and Mini Shredder walking towards them. "I got this one." He tells Leo, handing him the rope. Leo grabs Yuuki's waist and the swing over to the other side. Leo throws the rope to Raph. "Later lobster lips." He calls out as he jumps off but the Clawed Shredder cuts the rope.
"Raph!" Leo shouts as they run to the edge of the hole. Raph dangles from the other side. " Yeah, what?" He asks sarcastically. Hun and the foot ninjas appeared below. "So the turtles and the girl really are alive. But not for much longer." He said as he ran up to a cannon and picked it up. He aims it at Raph. The Lobster claws Shredder begins to slowly advance on the turtle. Leo looks down at Hun "Raph! Don't move until I tell you!" He orders. "Are you nuts?" Raph asks in disbelief. "Trust me bro." Leo calls out. "Hold that pose, you freak." Hun murmurs getting ready to fire.
"Get ready!" Leo says to Raph. The Lobster Shredder pinches his claws then strikes at at the turtle. "NOW!" Leo yells. Raph swings away from the four armed Shredder who was now in his place. Hun presses the button and the multi armed Shredder drops before the missile hits where Raph once was. Hun looks in shock as rubble tumbles down on top of him. Leo and Splinter pulled Raph up.
The four armed Shredder stands up as well as the mini Shredder. They glared at everyone from across the room. "Ha, Ha! Denied!" Mikey mocks. They jumped over the hole. "Aw, shell." Raph mutters.
The clones advances slowly toward the group as Donnie tries to get the elevator to open. He dodges a blow from the multi armed Shredder and Raph stands in front of him and kicks it away. Splinter sacks the Mini Shredder with his staff. The elevator doors open and Donnie steps inside "Hey guys!" He called out. Everyone backs away from the clones towards the elevator.
The door closes not before the multi armed Shredder grabs Yuuki, knocking her down. It began to pull her toward it. Raph and Mikey grab her hands holding on tight. She screamed trying to kick the creature off of her, frantically. It lets go as she kicked it of of her, ripping off a piece of her jeans. "Okay, did the Shredder like wake up one morning and say "Hey here's an idea. Mutant clones of me. Really ugly ones." Mikey comments, imitating the Shredder. They hear pounding on the other side of the door. The clones began to slowly pry the door open. "Hold that thought." Donnie tells throws a shuriken at the door shocking the clones knocking them back.
Leo uses his sword and lifts open the hatch above them "Everybody out! Double time!" He orders. Mikey takes out his nunchucks holding it out "Nunchuck express, going up!" He said as he propels Raph up. Raph reaches down to Yuuki and she takes his hands as she steps on to the chucks as Mikey pushes her up. Leo jumps up after her. Then Donnie and Splinter jumps up. Leo and Splinter help Mikey up just as the clones opened the doors. Leo quickly closed the hatch.
"Now what?" Raph asks as the clones banged on the hatch. Leo looks around until he sees the cables " Grab the counterweight cables." He orders. Th He clones try to get the hatch open. Leo pulls out his sword and Yuuki wraps her arms around him holding onto him as he held on to the cables. The mini Shredder appears from our of the hatch as the clones for it opened. "Hang on!" Leo shouted as he he cuts the cables. They started to go up. They all scream. "Get ready it's about to hit." Leo warns. The elevator drops to the ground below them with the clones sending at jolt up towards them. The force knocks Yuuki off and she falls. Mikey quickly reaches out and grabs her on the back of her coat, catching her. Leo lets out a sigh in relief "Nice catch Mikey!" He replies. "Thanks Mikey." Yuuki replied softly as she thanked him. Mikey chuckles "No, falling on the job."
"My sons, Miss Yuuki are you alright?" Splinter asks. They landed on to a pole. "Yeah, peachy." Raph mutters as he climbed up to a door. Raph pries pries it open with his sai, pulling it apart. They stepped inside to see a long hallway with a door symbol on a door at the far end of it. "April, we the 4-1-1 on our location." Donnie said. "Do you see a floor number?" She asks in response. Donnie looks back before looking up "72." He answers. "Hmm, that's weird." April murmurs. "What?" Donnie asks. "There's a glitch in the schematic between the 71st and the 73rd floor. Let me run a quick diagnostic." She tells him.
They waited as they looked around the room. Yuuki felt a little unease. The room gave gave off an eerie vibe. "April, can you at least find us a way up? A stairwell of something?" Donnie asks. "Nada 'fraid you guys are on your own this time." April said. Splinter stops them. "What is it sensei?" Leo asks concerned. "I sense something." He sniffs again. "Traps. We must proceed with caution. "
Splinter jumps along the walls and lands on the other side. Donnie does the same. "There ain't no traps down there." Raph dismisses. "Raph!" Yuuki calls out to him as she tried to grab his arm but missed . He runs straight down the hallway. Raph steps on a trap and huge blade comes barreling towards him. He ducks and jumps over some saw blades as they came out. He steps on another tile and a pit opens up. He barely manages to jump across a lot of spikes below him, as everyone looks in worry as well as him.
Raph lands on the other side safely. He chuckles nervously. "Raphael, your rashness will be the end of you yet." Splinter scolds as Donnie crosses his arms. "Hey, I made it, didn't I?" He asks nervously shrugging his hands. " And what of your brothers and Yuuki? " Splinter retorts. Raph looks back to see Mikey. "No sweat Master. Mikey got game, Mikey got hops, Mikey be in the zone!" He replies as he runs across the swinging blades. "Hoo ya in your face you puny girly blades!" Mikey brags. Yuuki slaps her forehead "Oh my god..." She muttered softly.
Splinter looks on in worry as well as dumbfounded. Mikey moonwalks in front of a saw. "Go Mikey! Go Mikey! Go, go, go Mikey!" He sings as he danced. "Mikey, stop showboating!" Yuuki shouted at him. A saw cuts off the tail ends of his mask "Hey!" Mikey exclaims before dodging the ax and jumps on the other side. He sits up and pats the cut off parts of his mask "The trendy new short headbands are in this season. All the stylish ninjas are wearing them." Mikey replies nervously. Leo leaps over them holding Yuuki. " No more, fooling around, Mikey! " He tells him, holding out the tail ends of Mikey's mask "Not today!" Leo exclaims.
Leo walks over to the door and pushes it open. They stepped inside the foggy room, as Mikey tied his mask, to see five statutes in front of them. Five foot symbols in different colors. Splinter inspects the statue "These symbols each represents the five elements: Earth, Fire, Water, Wind and Metal." Suddenly, one of them comes to life. "Look!" Leo exclaims. The other four beings had now to life as well and surrounded them. "Be prepared for anything my children. " Splinter replies. They mystic beings all aimed their tridents at them, knocking them back.
"Do technicolor bolts qualify as anything?" Mikey asks. He screams as they started to come closer.
Everyone stood up and drew their weapons and charged at them. Yuuki and Raph fought with the water one. "Whoa, you can't even touch these things." He exclaims. Mikey kicks a metal one. He holds his foot hopping up and down in pain "Ow! That's not entirely true!" The fire one throws fire at Donnie who deflects it with his staff. He runs away from more blasts. Wind begins to pick up and began to blow around furiously as a tornado was made. Leo gets caught in it. He manages to break out then glares at the wind mystic.
Splinter hits the earth mystic splitting it apart. It rebuilds itself back together again. The mystic raises it's trident at Splinter and he quickly dodges as parts of the ground began to rise up. Yuuki and Raph looked at each other then charged at the water mystic but they get caught and caged in water. Raph punches the bubble as he held his breath. Yuuki tried to slash at the water prison as she held hers as well.
"Raph! Yuuki! There must be a way to fight fire with fire." Donnie said as he dodges more fireballs being thrown at him. Splinter watches as he ponders. He looks up to see Yuuki struggling before she couldn't hold her breath anymore. Raph pounded furiously, at his bubble trying to break free, as he sees it. "Or magic with magic." Splinter murmurs and he quickly runs to Leo. He flips over Leo pulling the Sword of Tengu out. "Master Splinter want are you doing?!" Leo asks. Splinter's hands starts to burn.
"I believe that conquering our mystic foes requires a mystic weapon. " He explains. "But, you need the glove, sensei!" Donnie calls out throwing the glove to him. "Catch!" It lands near the rat's foot. "There's no time Leonardo. Get your brothers and Yuuki to away from the temple." He answers. Splinter swings the sword sending a blast "Now!" He exclaims. Leo nodded. Splinter sends another blast freeing Raph and Yuuki from their bubbles. Raph pants heavily trying to catch his breath. Yuuki coughs. "You okay?" Raph asks. "Just give me a minute. "
Splinter flips over the Mystics sending another blast "Fire melts metal." The metal mystic melts. He dodges a water blast. "Water quenches fire." He gives a blast towards the water mystic and it sprays water on the fire. "Earth swallows Water." He swings again and water is sucked into the earth mystic. "Wind scatters earth." He jumps into the air and swings. The earth mystic blows away as hot was hit by the wind mystic. "And I shall quell the wind!" Splinter starts to spin around creating a tornado. The turtles and Yuuki watched in shock.
The wind crashes into the temple and the whole thing comes falling down, destroying it. A hand shots out from under the rubble. "Master Splinter!" Leo exclaims in worry as they run to him. They dig him out of the pile and Raph and Mikey helped him up. " Leonardo, retrieve the sword. " Splinter murmurs. Donnie ha Leo the glove. Mikey looks down "Master Splinter, your hands." He said as he sees them smoking. "The Sword of Tengu is a potent mix of science and sorcery. Only a true master can wield it without the protective glove. But, there is a price to be paid. " splinter explains.
"Makes you wonder what's in store for us on the next 20 floors." Donnie points out as he pulled out the first aid kit. He gently takes Splinter hands and begins wrapping them up. Mikey gulps. "We still got 20 floors to go?" He asks. " If we can even make it that far. " Raph mutters. "There's no if about it. We will make it to the Shredder. Have you guys forgotten, how he forced us from our home? Burned April's building? Nearly, killed us all? Because I sure haven't and I'm going to see this thing to the bitter end!" Leo declares holding up the Sword of Tengu.
Yuuki walks up to him "I'm with you, Leo." She answers. "Me too. " Donnie said. "Me as well, bro." Raph said as he walks up to him. "We'll see this thing through together." Mikey declares. "All of us." Splinter replies. "April, any luck finding is a stairwell out here?" Donnie asks. "Best I can find is a private elevator on the west side of the building. But, I can't tell if it reaches your floor." She explains.
Leo cuts off the curtain "Found it." The door opens. " So, where this take us, April?" Donnie asks. "Straight to the top, guys. Straight to the top." She reports. The door closes as they stepped in. "There's no turning back now. But, no matter what happens today, I have never been more proud of you all. My ninja, my children." Splinter tells them. "Well, we had a pretty great teacher." Yuuki comments. Splinter made a small smile.
They walk out of the elevator and walked towards the door. Leo kicks it open. The room is completely empty. Leo points and they walk in. Suddenly, a spear appears from out of the corner. The Foot Elite appears before them. "The Shredders Elite guard." Leo murmurs quietly. "You can do it bro. We're all in this together." Raph assures him. Then suddenly someone laughs. "You don't know how true that is, freak." Hun replies, cracking his knuckles.
Silence fills the room. Nobody moves. "What are they waiting for?" Raph asks in confusion. "Orders." Leo answers. "Astute as usual, Leonardo." Shredder steps out from the shadows. Splinter steps up. "Your Elite guard will not stop me , Oroku Saki." He declares. Leo stops him "No, sensei. This is one I need lead." He explains.
"Elite attack!" Shredder orders and the four charge.
The brothers charged as well as Yuuki and Splinter. Donnie blocks their weapons with his staff before he is knocked to the floor. The Elite leaps into the and, with his spear in hand. Donnie quickly rolls out of the way, leaving his bag and the spear stabs right through it. Donnie stands up and the Elite throws his bag away. Raph blocked hits being thrown at him before he rolls under the Elite and his hand gets pinned to a column by their weapon. Mikey dodges an ax before kicking the Ax wielding Elite "Ha! Missed!" Mikey brags. He backs up and bumps into a torch, it falls landing on his head. "Ow! " He exclaims, rubbing his his head. Splinter runs up to him as he tried to assist Mikey. But, he was picked up by his robes by Hun. Leo backs away from the Elite and trips over Donnie's bag. He gasps as he sees the ninja jumping towards him.
"Nooooo!" Leo shouts, blocking the weapon with his swords " You may destroy me, but I will not live in fear!" He yells, before kicking the ninja away. "Me neither!" Raph says before kicking the Elite he was fighting away. Splinter undoes his robes. Hun looks in confusion before Splinter kicks and punches him. He catches his robe and puts it back on tying it back up "In the words of an ancient master, it ain't over till it's over." He said.
Yuuki looks over at the Shredder to see him watching, observing silently, until she sees him look at her "I don't like this." She muttered softly out loud. She jumps over to Leo as she dodges a slash from an Elite. "Leo, something's up." Leo noticed as well. "I've had a feeling that you all didn't really perish in the fire." Shredder replies. They all looked at him shocked. "What do mean?!" Raph growls. The Shredder motions for a ninja and the nodded then disappeared. They came back with two people kneeling down with bags on their heads. He pulls them off. "How would you like to see the your parents?" Sarah and Michael, with duct tape on their mouths and tied up, widely looked around until they saw Yuuki and the turtles and Splinter. They shouted in shock. They couldn't believe what they were seeing, four giant turtles and a giant rat. They stared at Yuuki with disbelief. Yuuki's eyes widen in horror. "Ah, shell." Mikey mutters. "
The Shredder walked behind them facing everyone "Surrender now and drop your weapons or they will die." He orders. The brothers looked at each other. "What should we do?"Donnie asks. The Shredder lowered his gauntlet towards Sarah's throat and she whimpered as it presses "I guess they don't really mean THAT much to you." "No! Stop, please!" Yuuki exclaimed, dropping her Tessen to the floor. "Drop your weapons." The Shredder demands darkly. "Do it." Leo orders. The brothers and Splinter drops their weapons, besides Raphael. Leo glances towards him "Raphael." He replies sharply. Raph growls "There is no way I'm giving up!" He shouts. "Raph please! They're my parents!" Yuuki cries as she pleads to him. Raph hesitantly drops his sais and kneels down. The Elite gathers their weapons up holding them. Hun ties their hands behind their backs.
Holding the Sword of Tengu, Shredder walks over towards Yuuki and Leo. He grabs her by her shirt and lifts her up . "Yuuki!" Mikey calls out. Leo lets out a growl "Leave her alone Shredder!" He shouts. Yuuki stared back at the red eyes staring back at her. "Yuuki, I will give you one last chance. Join me." Shredder replies. "The Foot can give you everything that you will ever want." Yuuki glared then spits in his face "I have everything that I want: My family!" She spats.
Yuuki found herself slammed back first into a column as she was thrown. She groaned as she fell face first to the floor. She was met by a blast of the Sword of Tengu as it hits her over, over, and over. Her body was filled with so much pain she couldn't move. The Shredder stomps towards her. A sickening crunch filled the room, as the turtles, Sarah and Michael, and Master Splinter looked in horror and anger as the Shredder slams his foot down right on Yuuki's leg, breaking it. "You foolish ignorant girl!" Shredder roars angrily. He kicks her on her sending her flying across the room. "You shall suffer the same fate as your father!" Yuuki looks up "He who lives without honor will end without honor." She replied defiantly. Yuuki falls unconscious. Splinter gasps. The Shredder held up the Sword of Tenth above his head "Perish!" "NO!" Leo exclaims.
The room begins to shake as if it was an earthquake. "What is this?!" Shredder demands. A crater begins to form in the middle of the room. Leo quickly sprang into action. As he kicked the Elite holding his swords. They were knocked back and he cuts himself free. Raph does the same and he goes to free Donnie Mikey and Splinter. The Shredder turns around and was met with a hit in the face as Leo kicks him. He grabs the Sword of Tengu, sheathing it and scoops Yuuki up then jumps away. He lands in front of Sarah and Michael and sets her down cutting them free. Sarah immediately holds Yuuki in her arms "Oh, my baby!" Michael stares at him "Thank you." "Don't thank me. It's not over, yet." Leo answers and he stands up with his shell facing them pulling out his swords. A giant robot emerges from the hole, Baxter Stockman.
"Baxter Stockman!?"
"In the flesh so to speak." He replies. "You will pay for your false report of the turtles and Yuuki's demise. However, you can redeem yourself. Destroy the turtles and Yuuki!" Shredder declares as the the turtles and Splinter glare at him with their weapons in hand. "You blind arrogant, ignorant, self-important fool. I didn't make this suit to help you, Shredder. I made it to destroy you. For every punishment you inflected on me, I will make you suffer ten fold! You will finally learn to respect my superior intellect."
"Stockman! I'll have your head for this!" Shredder exclaims shaking his fist. "No Shredder, I'll have yours." He turns towards the turtles "And you meddlesome creatures! You have interfered with my plans for the last time!" Stockman shouts. "You believe this guys rap? Whack-job city!" Mikey murmurs. "You'll pay! All of you! None of you will leave this room alive! You'll be crushed by the genius Baxter Stockman!" He declares, laughing evilly.
"Dangerous whack-job city." Donnie corrects Mikey as they all look at him.
Leo glares at the Shredder, full of rage. If looks could kill Shredder would be dead from where he stood. He glances back towards Yuuki lying unconscious in her mother's arms.
This ends now.
