"Know this," Rows and rows of Foot Clan soldiers were lined in front of Shredder. Each and every one of the ninjas were on their knees, looking down to the ground in respect of their master. Karai stood in the front, doing the complete opposite of the other members of the clan. She stood tall, hands behind her back, eyes looking past her father while he spoke with his Earth shaking voice that seemed to intimidate all that heard it. Although Karai was absolutely terrified of her father due to the fact that he was who he was, she was at a certain set of ease. While he spoke out to the crowd, he did it with a sense of accomplishment, a sense that rarely entered his voice and when it did it could only mean one thing. Turtles. Those pesky mutants, everyone in the room hated the band of misfit reptiles that were so set to live by the rules and destroy her father. Just thinking about the four mutants that called themselves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles made her want to draw her dagger and destroy everything in her path.

The young girl remembered the talk her and her father had had a few weeks ago about the turtles and the fact that Shredder wanted for her to gain their trust and for them to believe she is working against him, but she had no idea on how she'd do that. It's not as easy as it sounds and it doesn't sound easy, usually Karai enjoys a difficult task, but this may to be too hard for even her. She knew of how much they hated her and Shredder and she also knew of no way that the turtles could befriend, let alone trust her.

"There are many ways to eliminate your enemy. One could make it quick and painless, ensuring that the victim had little to no pain in the process of purge, but that isn't fun. Another way one could eliminate their enemy is the slow and painful way. This is my favorite method. By doing this the right way, you drive the victim to insanity, they'll beg for you to finish the job, but you won't, you'll just make it worse every time they ask you to stop." An evil grin flashed over Shredder's face and it revealed some of the red, scared face from between the crevices in his mask, this sent a series of shivers and chills down Karai's back, although he was her father, she hated seeing his true face. It terrified her beyond belief. "I have an excellent piece of news to deliver, I have successfully invaded the Turtle's not so secret hideout and they have not even realized."

Karai's eyes widened in surprise and she fell to the ground with a clatter of noise, everyone, but Shredder, turned their gaze in panic to the girl who now sat on the ground in complete disbelief. The fact that they had invaded the Turtle's lair meant they were getting close to exterminating the pests, but she couldn't believe it for herself. Undetermined whether or not this was some sort of lie on her father's part, she couldn't help but feel sorry for the four mutants. They were in for a real tough fight if it were true.

"Father," She scrambled up and then bowed awkwardly, averting her gaze, knowing better than to look her father exactly in the eyes. "May I ask on how exactly you infiltrated the Turtle's secret hideout and also, I thought you wanted me to be in charge of destroying them? Something about me having to lure them out of the lair? Having them get comfortable with me?" Karai fixed her gaze on Dogpound and Fishface who both had a confused look on their faces, looking as perplexed as she felt. She had absolutely no idea what was going on and could guess that neither of them knew either.

"Those variables have stayed the same, you must still pretend to become a friend with the Turtles and I haven't said that we have conquered the Turtles, I've said that we've invaded them." He smiled menacingly and Karai shuddered, once again averting her gaze from off of her father. Lately, Shredder had been moving towards the destruction of Splinter and the rest at rapid speeds. She didn't understand why, but figured that it had to do with the fact the Kraang were out of the picture. Little did she know that it had to do with a plan that was long in the waiting and was just now beginning to blossom.

Mikey pinned Leo against the wall and delivered a sharp jab onto his nose. The blue masked mutant turtle didn't know how to react to Mikey's angry outburst. He and Raph had overheard the two brother's dispute in the Donnie's room. Surprisingly enough, Mikey had made the move on Leo and being attacked by his younger brother without warning. Leo had no idea on how to respond, as he rose his sword to defend himself Raph sprung on top of him shoving Mikey out of the way and holding one of his twin sai to his throat.

"You blasted idiot!" He growled, his face inches from his brother's. "Do you mean that you totally attacked Donnie after April told him that she never wanted to see him again? April, the girl he," All three of their eyes fell on April who sat on the complete opposite side of the room, crying with a distant look on her face. "Loves? Bro, what were you thinking?"

"I was thinking that there was something wrong, did you not hear them two arguing and Donnie told me that April said that she wanted him to stop trying to turn her human. Like I'd believe that!" Leo paused and eyed the weapon that was held confidently at his neck. "Well, at least without checking it out. It's not like I knew that she actually wanted him to stop, jeez, she's been going on and on about getting fixed and now she wants to stop. How was I to expect that?"

"Maybe it's because we're driving her insane?" Mikey screamed, jabbing him in the stomach. "I mean seriously look at us!"

Raph spun on his heels and barked at Mikey. "Back up dumbo, I'm talking right now."

"Don't call me that!" He retorted, trying to whack Raph with his nun chucks.

The three brothers continued to argue, unaware that the giant, mutant rat was watching them, hidden in the shadows. At a first glance one would guess it was Splinter, for it was, but at the same time it wasn't. His eyes were glowing red orbs and they stared at the three turtles yelling across the room. If one were two look into his eyes, they'd see the reflection of a laughing Shredder whose plan was going just as planned.

Sorry, this chapter was kinda jumbled, ugh, I'm really tired. I'll edit it later. Love you.
