The Next Day.
In the past 48 hours Splinter has been captured by the Foot Clan, and experimented on by Dr.Killemoff as the Shredder seeks a answer to the Ninja Turtles origins. As well, the turtles have encountered the Foot and lost a battle at Shredder's old lair. Since that time Leonardo has meditated and seen a vision of Master Splinter at Killemoff Laboratories, whle Donatello has confirmed the Foot Clan has been reportedly stealing supplies and taking them there. The foursome battered but not discouraged rested through the night, while their minds remained on their captured sensei. The awake earlier and prepare for what could be their most intense and perhaps final mission.
"Gather your things boys its time to rock-n-roll."
Leonardo goes to the weapons rack and is prepping a bag full of assorted things to help the turtles on their quest.
"Who died and made you leader?"
Raphael expresses his doubts about Leonardo's leadership as he grabs his Sai's from the weapons rack. "He DID see Master Splinter's whereabouts in his head dude!"
"I ain't buying it Mikey."
Raphael and Michelangelo debate if Leo saw Splinter or not. Donatello enters and looks ready to go.
"You aren't my leader!"
"Because you can't follow rules!"
"Come on guys, put the bickering aside for today and go save our sensei, eh?"
"You got it Don!"
"Yea!"
Meanwhile across the city in the unknown lair of the Foot Clan, The Shredder is losing his patience.
"The time draws near Tatsu. Soon this city will be engulfed in flames, and I shall emerge from the pyre as the ruler of this wasteland."
"First and foremost though, I must rid myself of the nusciences in my life. Namely the brethren of Hammato Yoshi. Have you heard from Killemoff?" "No Master Shredder. We have heard nothing from his laboratory since yesterday."
"Ready my battle armor Tatsu. Its time I pay a visit to the good Doctor and finish off the rat myself."
"Tis all falling into place, everything will soon be within my grasps." The Turtles are treking through the sewers trying to find the best route to the Laboratory of Dr.Killemoff, unfortunately for the turtles its a far walk from their lair and they have no means of transportation. This sparks a interesting conversation as the boys in green head to their destination.
"So if we had a vehicle right now, what would it be? I mean, myself personally, I'd like a sweet ride. Something like a Harley, but suped up maybe. What about you Mikey?"
"A surfboard dude, that would rock."
Raph and Don laugh.
"Uh Mike, do you see a ocean around here?"
"No way dude."
"Then what good would a surfboard do you?"
"Ohhh yeah!?! Well then give me a 86 Firebird. Sweet ride dudes."
"What about you Don?"
"Well technically, if it was me, I'd want something fast."
"Hey I picked something fast."
"No, I mean real fast. A helicopter is the ONLY way to travel. What about you Leo."
"I'm fine with traveling by foot. Its easier to concentrate, and FOCUS. That is if you guys would stop daydreaming and pick up the pace."
"Raphael and Mike look at each other, and whisper to one another."
"Whats with him?"
"Dude I think he's just all beat up over Splinter."
"Aren't we all?"
Killemoff Laboratories, 9.AM
"Another failure. I just don't get it. What is the seceret. It doesn't make any sense. I have all the lines of DNA cracked. This should work by now."
Dr.Killemoff paces back and fourth, in the background the sounds of screams, groans and grunts can be heard. Several cages are nearby and a assortment of limbs are scratching out from them.
"SHUT UP! YOU FOUL BEASTS! I AM TRYING TO THINK!"
Just then, two Imperial Foot Soldiers enter the room. Dr.Killemoff is shocked to see them.
"Lord Shredder requests a audience with you."
"What? I still have a few hours left......"
Just then the Shredder walks in, this time in full battle armor and a distinct chill of death engulfs the room.
"Its time for a progress report Doctor. I expect you have succeeded in my request?"
"YOU HAVE NO MORE TIME KILLEMOFF! Show me your progress, I want the answer to these mutants and I want it now."
"Well Lord Shredder, its a complicated process. You see I finally cracked the DNA codes. I've revamped the formula for my Synthetic Mutagen, time and time again. However, after several tests, the results are all the same. I can't seem to duplicate the creation of this mutant rat."
"What about reversing the process of mutation? Have you come any further on this?"
"So you've managed to create some mutants, but can't figure out how to create a perfect mutant specimen?"
"And you've managed to reverse the mutation process partially on the mutants you created yourself?" "Yes."
"You expect that to impress me Doctor?" "Well Lord Shredder, I'm confident that within the time you allowed me yesterday or perhaps a addition 48 hours I can replicate the entire mutation process as well as reverse it. I'm on the verge of a breakthrough."
"Thats all well and good Killemoff, but you have no more time." "I should still have a few hours, I'm most certain I can solve the mystery in that time."
"I'm most certain you'll be dead by that time. If you can not show me something within the next few minutes that would give me enough interest in sparing your life for a few more hours, I will skin you alive right here and now." "Wait...wait Lord Shredder....perhaps you'd like to see some of my mutant creations? You'd be amazed at what my Synthetic Mutagen has created. You might find these creatures very useful in your global domination quest."
"Perhaps." "Right this way....."
"This had better be interesting, for your life's sake Dr.Killemoff." NYC Sub-terrin Sewers, 10 AM
"Man my dogs are killing me, where is this place?"
"It can't be far."
"Yes not much further now, I am sensing Master Splinter."
"Here HE goes again."
Leonardo turns to Raphael, draws his katana sword in a instant and has it perched at a angle where he could easily harm his brother.
"Is that how it is?"
"You are becoming a danger to us Raphael, your going to end up getting us captured like you got Master Splinter captured."
As Leonardo puts his sword away, a feeling of rage overcomes Raphael and he tackles his brother from behind.
"You SON-OF-A-BITCH!"
The two turtles began brawling on the sewer floor, as Mike and Don struggle to pull the two apart.
"Cut it out!"
"Lay off him Leo!"
"Both of you break it up now, dudes we can either stand around here all day and kill each other or we can save our sensei!"
Leonardo and Raphael exchange dirty looks, and straighten themselves up, both blaming the other for the altercation as the turtles continue their long and grueling journey to Killemoff Labs.
"This is my first real mutant creation. His body remains unstable, which was a problem for quite some time."
"Intelligent?" "No, he can barely compehend beyond killing."
"Useless to me." "Yes, but my next creation was a bit better. This time a actual skin developed and besides a few deformations, the mutant's body is stable."
"Intelligent?" "Better then the other, but yet he's mentally unstable. He's not just kill, kill, kill, but he doesn't reason well either."
"I'm rapidly losing interest in your freakshow Doctor."
"I'm assuming this one is a intelligent creature of some use to my army?"
"Interesting. I will keep this one, but its not enough to spare your life." "WHAT?!?!"
Shredder turns to the Two Imperial Foot Soldiers flanking his sides.
"Gather the troops, take this creature as well as the remaining canisters of the synthetic mutagen, then burn this place to the ground." "The Doctor and the Rat?"
"I will dispose of the good doctor myself in a moment, and the rat, save the rat for last. I will enjoy cutting him into bits."
"Please Shredder all I need is time...just a little more time?"
"Patience is a virtue I seem to lack my dear friend, but in the interest of science, I'll let you die in a bath of your own brew. Should make for interesting fun..." With that Shredder gashes the throat of Dr.Killemoff and hurls him overhead into a vat of the Synthetic Mutagen. Immediately a eruption of the liquid occurs and then the carcass of Dr.Killemoff catches fire and the entire room bursts into flames. The Shredder exits the room, and heads to where Splinter is being held captive.
"Right through this ditch.....Ready...POUNCE!"
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles burst through a bottom drainage ditch in the Killemoff Laboratories. They are quickly met by 3 foot soldiers.
"Looks like company!"
"ITS THE TURTLES! DESTROY THEM!"
Quickly the battle engages as the Turtles take on the three Foot Soldiers. Raphael dodges a attack, and lands a fatal blow with a sai. Michelangelo and Leonardo wrap up the other two foot, quickly.
"They'll be more."
You guys smell smoke? I think we may be too late, lets hurry......
"This place is on FIRE!"
A huge burst of flames engulfs the room, as the boys head upstairs as the building is starting to catch fire. Shredder is standing before Splinter in the main room of the now flaming Killemoff Laboratories.
"So now the time has come, my last piece of my ancient past. You, filthy rat of Hammato Yoshi. Its funny that Yoshi's legacy is left by a sewer dwelling rat, since afterall Hammato Yoshi was no more then vermin himself. You sick little man rat."
"You're wrong Oroku Saki, I may be a man rat, but you are a rat of a man."
Shredder once again slaps Splinter.
"You stand so brave before me, should you not be cowering? You do realize I am going to kill you, and your turtle students too."
Shredder gashes Splinter's chest, its a deep cut, but not a fatal one. Shredder is slowly cutting Splinter and torturing him. Menwhile the turtles are rushing up floors of stairs searching for their sensei.
"Master Splinter where are you?"
"Its the turtles ATTACK!"
Legions of Foot Soldiers heard towards the turtles as the fight between good and evil rages.
"Take THAT!"
Despite being outnumbered, the Ninja Turtles fight as if it were their last battle, and for their bravery are winning the war despite being outnumbered.
"There are to many of them, we have to find sensei and get out of this place....its going to crumble soon."
"I think its the next room Leo, see if we can't get through these doors."
As Shredder prepares to strike the final blow on Splinter, the Turtles burst through the door.
"Let him GO!"
Just then, Leonardo and his brothers take their stance ready for battle. Shredder backs away from Splinter, and laughs.
"FOOT CLAN...DESTROY THEM!"
The Foot Soldiers bum rush the Ninja Turtles, as they began to fight more of the deadly foes.
"You shall perish now creatures. Let you all burn in hell!" Shredder calmly walks away from the burning blaze knowing that the building will collapse in a matter of minutes. Shredder leaves his Foot Soliders there to die, and expects the turtles and Splinter to die fighting in the blaze.
"The fire is getting into this room, we're not going to make it out in time."
Splinter hits a spinning backfist punch onto one of the Imperial Foot Soldiers. Finally free, he gathers the turtles and points them to the nearest exit.
"My sons there is a time to fight and a time to know when the battle is not one you can win. Now is the time to learn this most valuable lesson."
The turtles and Splinter escape the blaze, as the Foot Soliders inside try to escape for their own lives.....
THREE DAYS LATER
"And after 3 days of searching through the wreckage, there are no survivors in the horrible Killemoff Laboratories fire. NYC Police have issued a statement saying they believe Dr.Killemoff and at least 100 others were killed in the blaze. Police Chief Sterns has said there is reason to believe some of these deaths occured before the fire, and that perhaps the building was burned down in a gang incident. More on this story as it develops. April O'Neal, Channel 6 News."
"I hope Shredder died in that fire."
As I'm sure he hopes we did. As alive and well as we are, he is likely to be too. The battle has just begun my sons."
"You had better Pray you died in that fire sons of Hammato Yoshi. If not, I promise I will skin the rat, and boil his turtle demons until their every fiber of being is gone from this Earth. Each day the Foot Clan grows stronger, and their chance of survival grows smaller.....HAHAHAH!"
