The Substitute vs Tiger Claw

In memory of Treat Williams

Tiger Claw enters Shredder's chamber and bows to one knee.

Tiger Claw) You summoned me Lord Shredder.

Shredder) Many of the purple dragons have been leaving our ranks. A substitute teacher has been filling their heads with thoughts of beyond what we can provide them. Silence him.

Tiger Claw) As you command.

Karl Thomasson leaves Russet High School waving at a few students while playing with a yoyo. Turning the corner to an ally the substitute sees Tiger Claw waiting for him.

Karl Thomasson slowly closing the distance) Can I help you? Need a ball of yarn?

Tiger Claw growling) Master Shredder is unhappy with your interference. You are to leave one way or another.

Karl Thomasson) I see. Well tell salad maker I'm not going anywhere.

Tiger Claw) Disappointing.

Tiger Claw draws a pistol that Thomasson knocks out of his hand with the yoyo. The substitute tried to strike again as Tiger Claw slashed at the string cutting it. Karl took the string off his hand and engages Tiger Claw. The battle will be rough even martial arts that is fairly even.

Tiger Claw) You fight well. You're not just a substitute are you.

Karl Thomasson) No and that wasn't just a yoyo. It was an antique from the Philippines.

Tiger Claw charged in as Karl kept his guard up. Soon the assassin cut the side of the substitute's jacket. Karl quickly took his jacket off and wrapped it around Tiger Claw's head. The mutant started clawing wildly trying to get free. Karl slammed his knee into Tiger Claw's back before sending him head first into a dumpster. Tiger Claw fell to the ground unconcious. The Substitute lift his opponent into the dumpster closing the lid before walking away.

Karl Thomasson) Need to keep the streets clean.
