After the incident with the Hamatos, the Shredder took a couple of days off, leaving TigerClaw in charge. All of his henchmen knew that they shouldn't disturb him while he's away. He was too… enraged, to take care of the clan and think rationally. However, before he took his temporary leave, he decided to have a meeting with the Kraang, and put their shared plan into action.
The Shredder and the Kraang Subprime sat in front of each other, with the cold, metal table standing between them. They were alone in a big, white room where they held their previous private meetings.
"An invasion?" The Shredder questioned, his tone as cold as always as his mask hid his expression.
"It's the perfect plan!" The Kraang said in excitement as a devious smirk stretched upon his face. "An invasion will aid both the Kraang and the Foot clan." He added in satisfaction.
The Shredder lifted his eyebrow in doubt as he crossed his arms. "And how will it aid the both of us?" He asked with narrowed eyes, trying to understand the Kraang's plan and it's consequences.
"Think about it." The Kraang said in confidence. "You already know of our plan to find the location of the turtles' lair. And as I have said, it's going smoothly."
The Shredder straightened his posture as he listened with interest.
"If the Kraang starts an invasion all over New York and barges into their lair. What do you think will happen?" The Kraang smirked as the Shredder's eyes widened in understanding.
"They will leave the city." The Shredder answered in newfound energy.
"And leave your ailing son defenseless as he roams the streets alone in a city that will belong to both the Kraang and your clan." The Kraang added for him as he laid back with a satisfied smile.
The Shredder thought over the plan in his head as his expression hardened in determination.
"When shall you start the invasion?" The Shredder asked in anticipation, getting straight to the point as he leaned forward in his seat.
"In the next few days. We will inform you a day before we start when we know that everything is ready. We don't have a specific date just yet." The Kraang said with hidden frustration at the lack of knowledge.
"That shall do." The Shredder declared, as he narrowed his eyes once again. "I wish to make another deal." He announced.
The Kraang lifted his brow in curiosity. "What deal do you wish to make?" He questioned as he attempted to read the Shredder's expression through his mask.
"I wish that the Kraang will help me track down and find my son." The Shredder could feel his anger rising at the memory of Donatello's mutation. "He is not in his right mind. If the Kraang will be all over the city, I wish for them to keep an eye on every indication of where he might be. That includes my daughter who's with the Hamatos, in case you spot her." He added.
The Kraang scratched his chin in thought. "That's doable. What do you wish to give us in return?" The Kraang questioned.
"I will lend you my soldiers during the invasion. They will help you with taking over the streets." The Shredder declared as the Kraang smirked.
"It seems that we have a deal." The Kraang said with happiness.
"I will take a few days of rest before you start with the invasion. If you wish to say anything to me, pass it to my subordinates." The Shredder said as he got up from his seat.
"It was a pleasure doing business with you." The Kraang said as he smirked in anticipation for their future plan.
