Making A Plan

[Michelangelo]

(ooc: March 1st. Morning.)

Dark Nella walked in first. Followed by Jim, Pinocchio, Mano, Dr. Smith, Scar, Michaelangelo, Duke Nukem, Hades, and La.

XXXX

Dark Nella turned to address the group.

"We shall begin once everyone has arrived as well as brief everyone on what happened." said Dark Nella.

XXXX

Jim groaned as he sat down. His arm still hurt. It had been dislocated and thankfully Dr. Smith and BLS had helped him pop it back into place. He was so grateful he had a friend like BLS. Throughout the pain he had been there for him. Only afterwards did he learn Goggles had chosen to return to Critic's army and had dumped him for Spoony. And despite BLS's heart being broken he had still helped him through all that pain. Jim wished there was something he could to return the favor but for now he would just sit quietly at wait for the meeting to begin.

XXXX

Pinocchio sighed as he sat down. The kids had been grounded for their failed rescue mission. They sure were lucky the others had come when they did. He just hated being punished for trying to prove himself. He sighed sure his parents and Loki were mad at him for what he'd done.

XXXX

Mano remained silent. He had been punished by Ask That Guy for not protecting Pinocchio better. Mano was still a little sore from that beating but he knew better than to complain.

XXXx

Dr. Smith glanced at Jim feeling bad for the boy. He would be sore for awhile but at least his arm wasn't broken. He wondered what the meeting was about. They had been successful. They'd gotten back some of their prisoners. But he supposed not all of them. As long as Mechakara and the others were still prisoners.

XXXX

Scar had given up on the spying mission once Vitani had joined them. He didn't want to leave his daughter here all alone as he didn't exactly trust everyone here. Sure he was allied with them but they were humans so he wasn't sure how much he could trust them.

XXXX

Michelangelo smiled glad to be back here with Raphael and the others. He still wished they had broken Leonardo out of that spell he was under.

XXXX

Duke Nukem smiled glad to see a couple of their allies back. But they still had others they had to get back.

"I don't understand. Why don't we just go over and blast them? Get back our friends. We can undo their hocus pocus later can't we?" said Duke Nukem.

XXXX

Hades smirked and shook his head.

"Hey. It's not that easy. They've got several sorcerers and warriors. And unfortunately they have the numbers now. And so does Critic's army." said Hades.

XXXX

Queen La had a wonderful date with Loki yesterday. But now they had this planning session.

"Hades is right. It won't be easy to get our friends back even if we find the cure." said La.

[Loki]

Loki came inside first followed quickly by Ask Thatguy. Then Raphael, Pete, Terl, Ronno, Taffyta, Thrax, Lord Vyce and Black Lantern Spoony entered

Loki stormed in. That's right, stormed in. He was beyond angry. Yes some of the anger was directed at Pinnochio but it was more at Facilier than Pinnochio. That magican made fun of him, tried to harm his adopted nephew, tried to kill them all and Loki was so confused he couldn't help out entirely. Also Pinnochio could've been killed, though the boy meant well, it was still dangerous and... This was exactly what Thor got himself into. Trouble. Danger. A attack without orginized planning. "Magic is the main weapon in Facilier's forces" Loki responded hastily as he fastly walked over near La "We must not just charge at them. We did that plenty with a certain attack that was not given permission to go" He pointedly looked at Ronno, Taffyta and Pinnochio. He looked to Dark Nella and Ask Thatguy and silenced for the moment. But it was clear that Loki was steaming with rage. If he was a cartoon, his ears would be smoking.
XXXXX

Ask Thatguy went over to Dark Nella and also stood beside her, he just finished beating Mano and showed a look of defiance towards the teen on his way to his fiance. He was also angry and maybe just as passionate as Loki but he knew he was leader and therefore it was he who needed to have a cool head. He nodded to his fiance and looked out to see if anyone was listening
XXXX

Ronno had his head down the whole way there. He was embarrassed. He failed as a soilder and as a friend. They were not only in trouble but they had to announce what happened. This plan worked out horribly. Worst part? The adults were so mad that they grounded them for a unspecified time. Who knew how long they were trapped in the confinments of Ask Thatguy's home. What would they do? What could they do? "Hey bro. We're in pretty big trouble huh?" It was a rhitorical question. Of course they were and it didn't help that Loki called them out on it. He blushed as Loki sneered at them
XXXX

"What do you think bucky?" Taffyta hissed as she went in "We're grounded and we're being called to a meeting" Taffyta sat down and just sighed. She was more annoyed than embarrassed. She was there for the ride, the terrible, boring, uncalled for ride. The girl looked up at Loki and sighed again as he sneered at the children. Yeah yeah god-guy. I get it. You're angry and we're grounded. Got IT
XXXX

BLS immediately sat down next to Jim and put a gentle hand on his uninjured shoulder. The man was heartbroken but he was starting to comfort himself by comforting his new friend Jim. The poor boy took a lot of pain for his attempted help and the arm was dislocated. The lantern looked to Hades and La and responded to Duke "We have enough problems we don't need more by just barging in. We need to be a bit more controlled than that. Facilier is the one who should look like the fool not us" He then looked to Jim again and responded quietly "You do not have to be here. I can take you back to the medical place if you wish"
XXXX

"This was a outrage! With respect Nella, the children should be forced to never leave this place! I cannot believe this happened!" Vyce growled out angerily. He was angry too but not out of concern. He wanted things to go well, not distructive or chaotic like this did
XXXX

Thrax, Terl and Pete as well as Raphael nodded. Raphael smiled over to Michaelangelo and hugged the younger turtle in the open.

[Indigo Lantern Jim Black]

La nodded in agreement.

"Loki s right. Rita, Facillier, Malachite and DH are the only sorcerers we know of. And who knows if they have anyone else who's joined them recently. If we could find a way to remove their magic we would have the advantage. After all we have a Norse God, A Greek God, an entity, sorcerers, two lanterns, and the rest of our army. We could overpower them then." said La.

XXXX

Pinocchio flinched at Loki stormed in. He had been really angry yesterday after he'd brought them back and now he was still pretty angry. He heard Ronno and Taffyta and nodded. He didn't really have anything to say. His parents and Loki were pretty mad. Everyone was mad. Hearing Vyce's voice he flinched nervously. He regretted getting hurt and messing up but he didn't regret going. He smiled seeing Michelangelo back with Raphael.

XXXX

Dark Nella glanced at Ask That Guy and smiled. Pinocchio was nearly killed. And Jim got his arm nearly taken off by Seven of Eleven. If it wasn't for Black Lantern Spoony he could be toast. She paused walking over to Jim and BLS.

"Thank you for helping Jim. I pray Seven is brainwashed. Because if she did this of her own free will she will not survive. N one hurts my family and gets away with it." said Dark Nella.

The only reason she wasn't going to blast Mechakara was because Ask That Guy had confirmed he was under a spell. So they had at least one member to rescue. She heard La's suggestion and smirked. The idea was worth looking into.

"I haven't heard of a way to deprive someone of magic. If we could remove their magic La is right they would be easy to take. Better yet with their magic gone the spells on the others might wear off or weaken enough for us to free them." said DarK Nella.

XXXX

Hades noddes listening to the others.

"Anything I could think of exists in my universe already. Wouldn't know how to duplicate it. But there should be some way to remove their powers even temporarily." said Hades.

He paused and chuckled.

"Still the night wasn't a total loss. Malachite did manage to take out Ma-Ti. Critic and his pals must be devastated. A shame it wasn't one of us who did that." said Hades.

XXXX

Duke smirked at La's plan liking it.

"Sounds like a good idea. But I guess it's up to you guys with magic and power again to figure it out. I'm a creature of nuclear power thanks to an accident. But I don't know anything about magic." said Duke.

XXXX

"I also know very little about magic. Except the baboon Rafiki was the sage who probably knew a few spells back in my world. But he woudln't have helped us if he was here anyway." said Scar.

XXXX

Dr. Smith nodded.

"As I am a man of science I don't know about magic. But I can help you build something to block their powers. In several instances people have used technology to block powers. Perhaps I can build something and the rest of you can enchanted it to block their powers or steal them." said Dr. Smith.

XXXX

Mano remained silent although glad Pinocchio and Ronno were ok. He wished he'd been there to help Jim as he was really hurt. He decided not to speak not having anything to add to the conversation anyway.

XXXX

Jim smiled turning to BLs as he put as hand on his shoulder.

"Yes. We must think of a plan. Blocking their magic does sound like a good idea if you can do it." said Jim.

He paused as BLS spoke to him.

"I'm fine. And I want to be here. I probably won't be fighting for awhile so I want to be here and here what's going on. And speak if I have good ideas. But thanks for caring. I didn't really have many people growing up who caried about me. Back home I do have a few friends besides my mother. But it's nice to have another friend." said Jim.

XXXX

Michelangelo grinned hugging Raphael back.

"Well we're back together again. Once we free Leo from Malachite then the three of us will be back together." said Michaelangelo.

He paused pulling Raphael aside so no one could hear as everyone was busy on the conversation.

"I'm beginning to think Critic's army might be the good army. They're the only ones who haven't done anything. Think about it. We had prisoners here. Then Facilier's group kidnapped them. And they hurt a couple of them really badly. What if they lied to us? What if we're on the bad guy's side? What if Donny and Splinter were right? What if Leo's the only brainwashed one and we were just tricked." said Michelangelo.

[Black Lantern Spoony]

Loki's right

Loki didn't want to allow anyone to know those words caught Loki's sensitive spot in his ego but they did, Loki turned to see it was La, the one who caught Loki's affections, who said that. The god let out a small smile but his anger returned as the conversation went on. The children involved could of been killed, were the children not aware of how dangerous this mission was?! The norse god didn't want to care so much but he did, all because he allowed Pinnochio to make Loki like him. Maybe he was doing the same actions as the heroes who imprisoned him did, care only because he was young? No Loki argued with himself I do it because he is a good boy, foolish but good

But what will happen if you care too much? Once he is hurt or killed off, it will be your fault

Loki's eyes closed for only a mere second as that voice of reason seeped into his brain. Blast it. His concern caused him to worry over the child's future. Loki then looked to Pinnochio again and saw that while the boy looked remorseful, there was the underlying pride in his eyes. He could tell Pinnochio didn't regret what he did. He regretted it failing, but not doing the action. This was precisely how he would act as a child if he did something wrong or something courageous but un-permitted. Maybe Loki should stop being so harsh, he was just a kid after all. The boy would learn. And he was being punished so that was that. He stopped worrying about the children for now and focused on La's admittedly smart idea on depriving people of their powers or magic. He himself never tried it but as Jim stated it was a good idea. He nodded in agreement "I am sure, as a whole team, Hades along with Nella, Black Lantern Spoony, La and myself can find a way to make this plan worth the effort. It seems like a shot in the dark, as some mortals have said around me, but I am willing to give this a chance"
XXXXX

"As do I. It's worth a try. Better to be open-minded than just allow those magic-whores from going unscathed" BLS responded, some bitterness still filling his throat. He then nodded to Nella as she thanked him for helping Jim, as well as respond that she hoped Seven did this againist her will. BLS responded "I'm extremely positive she too was cursed. Mechakara is, and he is Seven's father so I still stick to my suspicion that she's under a spell. But I understand your reasoning for ending her life if she did this on her own" He regretted saying this but it needed to be said. He was a member of their army and he was a loyal one. So he wasn't going to judge his second in command.

He smiled slightly at Jim's assurance that he was fine, as well as a response that he wished to stay. He nodded and responded again quietly "Alright. I understand. But the minute you don't feel comfortable you tell me" He then smiled a bit wider at Jim calling him his friend "You are welcome. We are friends, it is a duty of mine to care as your friend"
XXXX

"This depriving of magic idea definitely could work. Look into it more if you can" Ask Thatguy responded. Then he saw Vyce comment something related to making the children never leave again. Ask Thatguy looked to Vyce and responded "We understand your frustration vyce, but the children have already been punished today. They are dealt with now. We must focus on other things. And to be fair about this surprise, it did not go without a favor from us. Such as Ma-Ti's death, which in my opinion will break my enemies to the ground emotionally, therefore will be easier for us to conquer!" Ask Thatguy then turned to see Michaelangelo and Raphael talk in private but paid no focus on it. He turned to Nella and responded, holding her shoulder in comfort at the mention of her saying that no-one would attack her family. "Neither will I dearest. Facilier will pay dearly"
XXX

While Taffyta rolled her eyes at everything related to her mayhem with the boys, ronno felt ashamed also. He turned to Pinnochio who cringed especially when Loki turned to them harshly. He whispered as low as he could, so none of the adults would hear "Hey, don't worry. They'll get over it. I mean they can't give you the cold shoulder forever. Besides, who's Loki to judge you? He's made plenty of mistakes" Ronno then sneered at Taffyta behind her back, not liking her but commenting quietly some more "Besides, we helped! We made be punished but at least we made a effort right? Also, we get to hang out more since we're grounded!"
XXXXX

Lord vyce nodded to Ask Thatguy but looked judgingly at the children before crossing his arms. He didn't like them just grounding the children but it wasn't his place. He was a soilder here and they were in the middle of a debate. Thrax, Pete, Terl and the others simply nodded in agreement to the magic depriving idea, thinking it was a idea worth a try and a risk to take.
XXXX

Raphael hugged Michaelangelo back, and followed Mikey away from the meeting, willing to get away just to talk more to Mikey. Although he wanted Leo to be with them too, he was content on having at least one family member with him and so would not complain at all. He agreed that once Malachite was out of the picture and leo was free, then three of them would be right.... That is until Mikey said a rather frightening notion. What if Critic was a good guy and that Donny and Splinter were telling the truth? Oh god. The fights they had trying to help, would all be for nothing then because it was a lie. Raph's eyes widened, and his hands went to his head and responded "You're kidding. You think so? If it's true, then all those fights with Donny, his shouts of being not brainwashed were right. We'd... We'd be the badguys. The ones lied to. Not Splinter and Donny and all this time we could've just gone with them" Raph sighed and covered his face "Oh god Mikey. We've really screwed up. I screwed up. I'm such a terrible person"

[Dark Nella/Nella Black]

La grinned seeing Loki smile at her words. Then she listened to the others talk before Loki spoke again and she nodded.

"Yes. If there's a way we all will find it. But our first move should be breaking the spell on them. That way we have a backup in case they stop our plans to block their magic." said La.

XXXX

Jim paused and grinned at BLs.

"I'm flattered you care though. I've only had a few friends in my life and they're all back home. So I'm glad I have you." said Jim.

He paused blushing slightly realizing that was a bit corny but he shrugged it off. He nodded to BLS.

"If the pain gets to be much I will go but for now I want to stay." said Jim.

He heard La's suggestion as everyone seemed to agree to work on it as a backup.

"Sounds like a plan. I'd help you guys if I could. But magic's not my specialty." said Jim.

XXXX

Dark Nella nodded.

"Very well. I think we should work on both ideas at once. There's not point in all of us working on one. It's not going to make either faster really. And if we can get both done that will really help us." said Dark Nella.

She smiled turning to Vyce as Ask That Guy spoke. She nodded. She smiled at him.

"Once we create this magic blocker I'm going to put it on Facilier first and make him pay. They all will and we'll debrainwash anyone he's taken from us by force." said Dark Nella.

She paused glancing at all the kids before speaking.

"Mechakara was training some of the kids before Facilier's betrayal. I think it's time we continued that training. Only you're going to be training with the rest of us from now on. I'm not going to easy on any of you anymore because you're children. You want to fight then you must be prepared. Last night will not be repeated. Understand!" said Dark Nella.

XXXX

Pinocchio heard Taffyta and Ronno he nodded.

"You're right. I mean what's the worst..."

He trailed off hearing his mother say they would be training with the rest of the army now as he gulped. They hadn't finished training with Mechakara and Dark Heart and he had trained some with Loki but this would be tough. But in a way he was giving a chance to prove himself. Sure he would probably be grounded here for awhile but at least he could train.

XXXX

Hades nodded.

"Fine. We'll start working on both ideas later." said Hades.

He was surprised as Dark Nella said all the kids would start training with them now. She wasn't going to go easy on them if they were going to pull stunts like this. And she was right. At least this way the pipsqueaks might actually stand a chanc in a fight. But he woudln't say that out loud to get her angry. He may be a god but he wasn't sure if she was more powerful than him or not. He wasn't going to take that risk. So he just remained quiet.

XXXX

Mano was speechless hearing her say everyone would be training together now. This wouldn't be good. Maybe he could ask Sage to be his training partner.

XXXX

Scar and Duke Nukem remained silent not having anything else to say. Although they knew getting brainwashed members back and a few prisoners wouldn't hurt.

XXXX

Michelangelo turned to Raphael as he looked shock at what he said. He shook his head.

"No Raph. If I'm right we were just lied to. Leo needs us either way. He's brainwashed and under Malachite's control. We gotta help him. And maybe Critic's army would be.."

He gasped as he felt his body glow golden as he realized La was next to him.

"Queen La? What have you done to us?" asked Micahelangelo.

He paused seeing Raphael was starting to glow as well.

XXXX

La had noticed the two talking and had learned they were heroes who had joined their side by mistake. She got closer overhearing the end of their conversation. This wouldn't do. They had already lost enough members with the army splitting in half. These two needed to be taught a lesson. She heard Michelangelo and smirked.

"I don't respond well to traitors. But don't worry. When I'm done with you you'll forget all about joining Critic's side." said La.

XXXX

Michelangelo paled as he shook his head.

"No. You're using your magic just like Malachite did to Leo. We don't belong here." said Michelangelo.

He turned lunging at her determined to punch her. Whatever she was planning would be stopped. Then he and his brother could get out of here.

(ooc: feel free to have Loki stop him. xd)

[Loki]

Loki was glad that it was settled that they would work on both curing the brainwashed as well as try to demagic the enemies that was facilier's forces. He turned to see the children a bit more positive once they were announced to be training, though pinnochio seemed the most apprehensive, maybe it was because he knew he was in hot water and this was just a blow to him in surprise. Loki, now that he saw it through the boy's eyes, could understand why he would feel that way, they did a thing they thought was best and were sincerely just trying to help. They were children and children were supposed to make a lot more mistakes than adults. The god as he thought about it looked down a bit then realized that eventually he would have to talk to Pinnochio again and help the boy learn better. He would not give him the cold shoulder forever, just for today or maybe the next couple of days.

Suddenly La went over and was talking to the two turtles that left, and saw that they were talking of treason, that and one of them was going to aim for La's face. Loki didn't even bother to explain his reasoning, but he casually walked away from the meeting and went over to see that Michaelangelo and Raphael were glowing due to magic. Angerily, Loki grabbed Michaelangelo's hand and snapped "I've had enough of this army treason nonsense. Either you serve willingly, serve by force or die" He then nodded to La to proceed with her magic and helped her out by restraining both Raphael and Michaelangelo to the wall.
XXXX

Raphael was about to continue talking when suddenly he started glowing and he began to panic. Either La was going to wipe their memories or make them slaves. This was precisely what happened to leo with malachite and Raphael felt like panicking, so he growled in rage and was about to help Michaelangelo when suddenly Loki came into the picture. Michaelangelo was suddenly restrained by Loki's green magic "Hey you leave my brother alone!" He snapped before he too was restrained by Loki. The turtle sneered at both La and Loki and responded "You two better let us go!"
XXXXXX

Ronno normally would be hyped to be training again but Nella's tone sounded like it was a punishment, and it probably was but Ronno knew he was in no place to argue. He turned to Pinnochio and whispered "See? It's not that bad!" But in reality Ronno was upset with the results of his unrelenting behavior. He turned to Nella again who demanded that they would not repeat last night and Ronno's tail peaked down to his bottom as he crouched down humbly. He nodded "Yes ma'am. We'll be working really hard. We, uh, won't let you down like last night ma'am"
XXXX

Taffyta jumped in slight fear as Nella yelled at them and Taffyta's response to her demand was a quick nod. She then rolled her eyes at Ronno's attempt of a response, assuming it very quickly as pathetic. She then noticed hades and the others speaking of a magical potion/antidote for the brainwashed victims. She thought it was pointless but hey Pinnochio wanted it to happen so she couldn't really complain without bothering him.
XXXX

Lord Vyce, Terl, Thrax and Pete all agreed to the plans being made, because they had nothing more to add. Let alone comment on what they feel they needed to do. The adults turned to see the children were going to train even more with them and even though some weren't happy with kids running around, they knew they couldn't complain.
XXXXX

"Alright Jim. It's your decision" BLS responded, smiling as Jim blushed. He instantly thought of it as adorable, before trying to get rid of the thought entirely. He paid attention to Nella and responded "I most definitely support the idea of doing both ideas. It will get us working faster and will give us more results with our labor" He then nodded respectfully to Hades, seeing Loki go off for a moment and La completely gone. He was curious about it but decided to not pay too much attention to it.

[Deleted]

Butters had only been sitting quietly the whole time. He did not like to be berated before his peers. Unfortunately, that was quite a common occurrence. Poor Butters was beginning to feel like he always had to be the fall guy. Now that he had powers, even if he wasn't totally used to them, he should have been able to help. The boy was quite upset, so much so that a flickering glow was behind his eyes as he seemed ready to use some sort of offensive attack. He wasn't really paying attention. The blond child was simply lost in his thoughts. Butters had only realized then that the man who saved him back there had every intention to, even without being on his "side". Was his path right? Bringing his head up, the blond boy was seriously considering jumping ship - but after he developed his powers enough to get away unhurt. Blinking, he glanced toward the turtle brothers who appeared to be catching on.

Hmmm...

~*~

The Tod was sitting on the floor, head over his paws and eyed closed. He was pretending not to be interested.

~*~

Ratilda was standing next to the fox. She had her arms folded. The while, electrified claws were being tapped against her arm, causing a small amount of static to crackle from her cloak to her claw tips. So far, all the aspiring villainess could do was nod every now and again when she happened to agree with something. One of her long claws pointed, although still resting over her arm.

"Assuming the 'bots are reprogrammed, it'd sure be a lot of trouble for them if we happened to release the 'bots and take away their magic at the same time. That would be devastating, wouldn't it? If we could pull it off. Sounds ambitious."

And "ambitious" was Ratilda's way of saying "stretching it". The rat-creature wasn't entirely convinced it would all fall into place like that...not without an awesome song at least.

~*~

The Seamstress had found a spot to rest and was buried almost totally in her coils. The snake-spider had recently been installed with a devise in her head to allow her master, the Machine, to see what she did, so he could get a better idea of what his cohoardes where up to. A signal hit her she-beast's head, causing her to flinch before lifting her head up.

"The master is curious as to what use the children are to us? They couldn't hope to match the adults. The master thinks they're a liability."

~*~

Vitani sneered visibly. It wasn't that she didn't have much of a problem with showing of her fighting skills, or even just with training, but it was that she needed to be doing more of it because of someone else that made the tawny lion cub angry. She knew it was a punishment and she didn't like having to be held accountable for someone else's stupidity. She got enough of that with Nuka.

Her blue eyes stared at the other kids with a glare that said, I blame you.

~*~

Cyclonus was late coming back. Whatever.

The helicopter came from over the treetops at a pretty leisurely speed. The disturbed Decepticon occasionally snickered to himself. He was so proud of actually getting to nab one of those other guys that he did one or two victory laps around the house. Pulling down, he aimed to land in his designated spot in the garage-thing.

"I got a prize!" The nut called in a sing-song tone.

[Michelangelo]

Michelangelo struggled as he used the strength he had and threw the nunchaku at La. If this worked it would distract La and Loki.

XXXX

La gasped in surprise as Michelangelo threw his nunchaku at her as it hit her arm forcing her to drop her staff and bump into Loki. She groaned as she looked up seeing the turtles running off.

"No. After them." said La.

She paused wincing at her wrist as she picked up her staff.

"Damn them. They're not going to get away with this." said La.

She turned running out after them.

XXXX

Michelangelo kept running alongside Raph as he held his nunchaku. He'd retrieved them in the confusion and had grabbed Raphael and taken off.

"Come on Raph. We have to get out of here. Before we end up dead or their slaves. We have to get out so we can help Leo." said Michelangelo.

He saw the door and grinned flinging it open. They were home free.

"Yes! We made it." said Michelangelo.

He gasped as a blast struck him in the chest.

"I guess I'm not going to join you after all." whispered Michelangelo.

He held his chest seeing blood on his hand as he winced.

"I guess I was only fooling myself. I could never be good as you or Leo. Tell Leo, Donny, and father I did my best." said Michelangelo.

He grinned before he passed out into Raphael's arms.

(ooc: I figure Raphael could just escape with Michelangelo to critic's side. unless you want to drag this out more. xd).

XXXX

Living Room:

Pinocchio gulped as not only Loki was mad at him. But so was Taffyta and Vitani. And to top it off Pete had been kidnapped. He felt guilty about that. Pete could be brainwashed like the others now. Hearing Ronno say it wasn't that bad but he doubted even Ronno believed that. It was just too much pressure. It had been his idea and now they were all being punished for it. He turned and just ran out and into his room.

(ooc: feel free to have Ronno follow him.)

XXXX

Dark Nella nodded knowing everyone would do their best whether they said it or not. She paused hearing a familiar copter and realized Cyclonus was back. Then Pinocchio left the room. And she realized the two turtles, La, and Loki had been gone awhile.

"Alright. Dr. Smith. Go and check on Cyclonus. He was at the battle last night so he might be hurt." said Dark Nella.

She paused turning to Seamstress.

"Some of the children are now members of my family. But even the ones that aren't are members of this army. But they will be trained to be warriors. So a stunt like this will not happen again." said Dark Nella.

She paused as she turned back to the others.

"One of the children Pete was taken as a prisoner last night. So while we try to rescue our brainwashed comrades we must also try to free him as well." said Dark Nella.

XXXX

Jim grinned ast BLS and nodded. He grinned sas BLS spoke.

"With you guys working on both ideas I know we'll succeed. We'll have our other allies back on our side before we know it." said Jim.

He paused hearing Ratilda and nodde.

"Yes. If we manage to strip their magic even temporarily it could help us. Without their magic they'd be wide open to an attack." said Jim.

XXXX

Dr. Smith nodded.

"Alright. I'm on my way." said Dr. Smith.

He had a medkit with him. With Insuedo's disappearance and Insano on Facilier's side he was the only doctor and medic at the moment. He headed out to meet with Insano.

Garage:

Dr. Smith arrived seeing Cyclonus arrive as he walked up to him.

"Are you alright Cyclonus? Have any repairs you need help from from last night's battle?" asked Dr. Smith.

He was surprised as he heard a female voice. He looked through the window of the helicopter seeing Jasmine.

"Well looks like you brought back a passenger. Well I think as the rules she belongs to you. Since you did capture her. Perhaps I can make a dungeon for you here so you can admire your trophy." said Dr. Smith.

He grinned pressing a button on a device and tossing it. A cage appeared next to Cyclonus.

"There. That should hold her." said Dr. Smith.

XXXX

Jasmine frowned as she'd been caught last night and shoved into Cyclonus's cockpit. Without Magic Carpet or a way down she was stuck even if she could get the doors open. Which she couldn't as Cyclonus had locked them automatically. She soon found herself at Ask That Guy's house as they rode into the garage. Then Dr. Smith showed up talking about locking her up like a trophy as he made a cage appear. She frowned realizing there was no way for her to escape now. Even if she got away from Cyclonus Smith would stop her for sure. She sighed waiting for Cyclonus to respond.

[Ronno Black]

(OCC: No! This is perfectly fine! The two turtles get their shells outta there! Great now we need to know that Mikey and Raph are on Critic's side! Once this post is made, Mikey and Raph will leave the thread)

Loki was admittedly embarrassed as Michaelangelo caused La to pile onto the god by accident, causing Loki to trip and fall to the ground. La's command caused him to be further irritated at the situation and quickly following La's heals as they ran after the turtles. Loki's staff was immediately shown out and the god aimed right at Michaelangelo. "If you're going to escape, you will die trying" He responded before he blasted right at the turtle's chest. Loki saw them getting away and he kept blasting but Raphael was quick on his feet and the god cursed in old norse language, stamping his foot slightly, teeth seething with disappointment. First they had a child attack, then they had a meeting about the remaining brainwashed victims, now this! It caused Loki to nearly go insane.
XXXXXXXX

Raphael smirked as he escaped and ran with all his might, turning every once in a while to check on Michaelangelo as they ran. He couldn't stop running and normally he'd be shocked to be taking orders from his younger sibling but right now they needed to get to Critic's side and get the shell outta there. Raphael nearly had high hopes of going to Critic's unscathed, but a blast from Loki hitting Mikey nearly broke his hopes. Raph stopped and ran towards Mikey, hearing what he said and grabbing him as the younger one passed out. The older turtle grabbed him, checked his pulse and realized there was still time. "No! Mikey! Don't you dare die on me damnit. You're getting out of here with me. We're going to Critic's and get Splinter and Donny, then we'll have Leo and I'll fix everything. I lost you once I'm not losing you again, stay with me!" Raph then sneered at Loki, swearing a oath of vengence before running, dodging Loki's blasts, with Mikey in his arms.

Living Room

Taffyta caught Vitani's look. She gave her a look right back that responded Don't blame me She then cocked her head to Pinnochio right before he ran off, Ronno not far behind. Taffyta rolled his eyes and responded very quietly to Vitani "Listen. It wasn't my idea. They talked me into it. I'm not peachy with those stupid boys" She then heard the leaders talking in their defense and put a arm to rest one side of her head in. This was going to be a long day wasn't it?
XXXXXX

Ronno saw Pinnochio's nervousness increase as all the pressure seemed to get to him. Pinnochio was their leader, unspecified but implied regardless, and his brother/best friend must of felt terrible about their failure as well as the punishement. It probably didn't help that Vitani was now angry at them. Ronno gave her a apoligetic but firm look, as if he defied her but still felt regretted the actions he caused. Suddenly he felt Pinnochio leave and seeing that everyone was busy, the deer ran after him. Ronno shouted "Bro! Wait up! Don't leave!" Ronno eventually caught up with the human child and responded assuringly, desperate for Pinnochio to stay "Hey! They'll get over it! It's not bad! Trust me! It's all good. Nobody can stay mad forever. Like I said, I'm being punished too, it's not your fault. If anything, it's mine, I didn't protect you" Ronno's guilt returned and his head lowered down, showing the bucks that were growing slightly but not really. He felt ashamed to admit his inner guilt but maybe that would cause his "younger" sibling to maybe not feel bad
XXXXX

Ask thatguy saw Pinnochio run off and he was tempted to talk reason and sympathy towards his son, but it seemed Ronno was handling it and Ask Thatguy knew he had stuff to do. He turned to Nella and nodded in agreement to the defense she had for the children and also to what Ratilda said. He turned to Seamstress and responded "The children will be much more useful with this training we shall put on them. I admit we have not really used the children that much, due to our concern for them, but our concern must be used for their requirement to help themselves. We are family with many of the children and we care about the children that aren't in the family. Even so, we do what we must" He then turned to Jim and nodded to what he said "Stripping their magic is the best tool we must find. It will attack easier"
XXXXX

BLS nodded, hoping Jim was right and felt that many things were settling up, ignoring the children thing for now, BLS realized that he may/may not now have business with Mechakara and it broke his heart. He didn't want to be against his friend but with all the pressure, BLS may have no choice. Mechakara for the moment had to be his enemy, he hoped this thing could be fixed. BLS rubbed his eyes in annoyance and sadness.
XXXXX

Meanwhile the rest of the army, Thrax, Pete, Terl, Lord Vyce and Kaa were silent. Agreeing to everything, they knew they would not have much to add. Thrax was worried about his friend Virus, Terl worried about the conditions of their army, Kaa was worried about his life in general, and Lord Vyce just wanted to win. It was a cycle of chaos to them.

Living Room

The Tod's ears seemed to pick up. His black-rimmed ears twitched before he lifted his narrow head and turned it to the side. What he had picked up on was the brief scuffle between the turtles, Loki and La. It was curious. The fox stood and trotted cautiously past the legs, just a bit closer to the sounds.

~*~

Ratilda's mocha-colored eyes flicked in Jim's direction. She rose a brow slightly.

"That might be hard though. Who's to say they all draw their power from the same source? I don't know much about magic - all my attacks are electric - but what might work on Facilier might not on Rita. All might not go according to plan - alas, it rarely does. Just sayin'," She then added, "Insider info would be great."

~*~

Butters curled his legs up a bit tighter once he heard Pinocchio run off, the young buck not far behind. The boys were the best friends he had in this world, but the blond boy was so forlorn that he didn't want to bother them with his own problems. If he could force a happy face in a little while, he'd go after them. But right then, he assumed he should stay with the adults, if only so he could tell his friends what plans were. He sighed and pressed his forehead over his folded arms.

~*~

Seamstress listened intently, like a good henchmen. The she-beast already viewed Dark Nella and Ask ThatGuy as secondary leaders when there was no input from the Machine. The Machine himself felt it was useless to go on about it, since he doubted he'd be able to get a human being to let go of offspring without being forceful. Oh, those poor biological wretches. Both Seamstess and her master had a hard time understanding what love and emotions were, so the concept of "family" made little sense.

"So they will be used such as pawns? Or patrols? Something of a low level?" Seamstress attempted to get a grasp of the idea.

~*~

"So those boys dragged you along?" Vitani snorted.

The little lioness brought her claws out a little and hooked them into the carpet.

"Well, it sounds like they didn't know what they were doing; you got caught. Badly."


Garage:

Cyclonus sent the cockpit doors on either side flying open. He counted on his passenger to be eager to jump out. Once he was human-free, he ran his rotors to get off the ground and transformed into his robot mode (because cleaning smooshed human out from his chest cavity would be a pain), nearly smacking his noggin on the roof. The large robot dropped, landing on his knees before resting on his lower arms. A teasing, clam grin was present on his face. The Decepticon's green eyes glanced in the direction of the doctor. The smile curled further up one side of his face.

"How cute. I finally get a pet of my very own that I can neglect."

The copter robot turned his head to look down at Jasmine.

"Your quarters, my dear," He extended his arm part way to lead to the cage, "And if you try to run, I'll squish ya."

[Pinocchio Black]

Back Yard:

La struggled as she ran with Loki. But then she arrived too late as Michelangelo collapsed into Raphael's arms as he took off with him.

"Damn. They got away. We could go after them but that turtle's smart. He'll stay in hiding until he gets to Critic's house. We'll never find him. We better report this. They're not going to like this." said La.

She sighed turning to Loki as she took his hand.

"Well let's go face the music together." said La.

(ooc: you can start a new thread with Raphael taking Michelangelo to critic's house if you want. since mikey's out cold. xd)

Pinocchio's Room:

Pinocchio looked up at Ronno with tears in his eyes.

"It was my idea. Now Pete's captured and Jim's hurt." said Pinocchio.

He paused looking at Ronno as he shook his head.

"It's not your job to protect me. Your my friend and my new brother. But it is my fault. I wanted to help and because of me now Jim and Pete are suffering for it. And so are you and the other kids here. It's my idea. I'm the one who should be punished." said Pinocchio.

XXXX

Living Room:

Dark Nella nodded.

"Yes. They shall all be trained. But their next battle will not be for awhile. Not until we're convinced they're strong enough to protect themselves." said Dark Nella.

She was also concerned about Pinocchio but she was one of the leaders of this army. With Insano having joined the Facilier's Army it was down to her and Ask That Guy. She paused turning to Ask That Guy.

She paused turning to Jim and smiled.

"Yes getting rid of their magic would be helpful. But on the other hand, if we invent something to block their magic that wouldn't take as long. With their magic blocked it's pretty much gone." said Dark Nella.

XXXX

Jim looked at his adopted parents and smiled at them. They liked his idea. He paused seeing Pinocchio rush out. He stood up only to wince realizing he stood up too fast clutching his arm as he felt someone pull him back down to the couch. He saw it was BLS and smiled gratefully at him.

"Thanks. I guess I need to take it easy for awhile." said Jim.

He paused leaning forward and hugging him.

"Thank you again. I know I've probably said this too many times already. I'd be dead if it wasn't for you. So thank you. I'll have to cook you something special when this arm is healed." said Jim.

He paused turning to Ratilda and nodded.

"You may be right. I'm not a magic expert. Maybe Dark Nella's got the right idea. If we block their magic it's as good as gone anyway." said Jim.

XXXX

Duke Nukem, Scar, Hades, and Mano remained silent agreeing with the group. Blocking their magic sounded like a better idea and quicker. If they found a way to get rid of their magic well they could still do that later.

Garage:

XXXx

Jasmine frowned realizing she had no choice as she walked to the cage.

"You won't get away with this. They'll come for me." said Jasmine.

XXXX

Dr. Smith smiled glad Cyclonus was pleased. He was glad Jasmine complied as she went into the cage as he closed it behind her and locked it. He pocketed the key. It was too small for Cyclonus to keep and it wasn't like he would wnat to take Jasmine out of that cage. He chuckled hearing Jasmie speak.

"Really? Could you at least say something more original than that. And sure you might be rescued. But well poor Iheart and Chester were beaten so badly. Not to mention our first prisoners Morpheus was beaten pretty badly. Chick had her shoulder broken and I think we took her voice for a while. So if by some miracle you're rescued well you may not leave the same way you came." said Dr. Smith.

[Loki]

Loki couldn't REALLY state anything La didn't say. The turtles escaped, and lived to tell the tale, or at least ONE would. Loki was upset enough to not bother being dragged by La, normally he'd ask her not to do that but he couldn't care less now. It was time to tell the others. He went with La to the room and noticed a fox witnessing the whole thing, Loki sneered at it, as if he blamed it for taking the turtles away but he went into the room and went over to Ask Thatguy. "As if it could not get worse" He mumbled bitterly, sighing and putting a hand over one of his hips. He then commenting out loud "The turtles were discussing about our purpose in the war and got too wise. I am afraid they escaped and left to join Critic's side" He sneered "They betrayed us. After all we did for that orange bandana wearing one!" He slammed the wall, making a very loud bang in the room
XXXXXX

"Agreed with Ratilda, we must block their magic from ours. It will make things worse if we defend ourselves only with defense instead of blocking magic" Ask Thatguy responded, also nodding with Dark Nella and pretty much agreeing to what they said. He was about to say more when suddenly Loki announced the two turtles escaping and he did jump when the god slammed the wall with a fist. Ask Thatguy shouted "What?! They escaped?! How could this happen?! We just got back from the horrific chaos before now this?!" He turned to Dark Nella, aware she might also have a huge outrage like Loki was having
XXXXXX

BLS saw Jim get up too fast due to Pinnochio running off, but BLS saw that Jim was going to fall from the pain and took the boy back to the couch, gently and carefully. The lantern checked the boy over, smiling at Jim's thanks "Yes. You need to be more aware of your injuries next time. Be careful alright?" He then smiled as Jim thanked him more and hugged him, he felt touched and a bit flattered. The lantern hugged gently and rubbed the boy's shoulder caringly. He chuckled as Jim promised a reward of cooking once he was healed "Nonsense. It is my duty to assist you as a ally" He then heard Loki mention that Raphael and Michaelangelo escaped and the lantern shouted also "What?! Impossible! They couldn't of escaped with you and La after them!" He didn't sound mad, only shocked but then became angry when he said this "Those selfish traitors!"
XXXXXXX

"Yep. How I was convinced is beyond even me" Taffyta responding, smirking slightly, amused with how Vitani was amused with it. She sighed, rubbing her eyes "You're right. They didn't know what the hell they were doing. Some leaders they were. I apoligize for their stupidity regardless" She shrugged again, annoyed once more "Like I said, I didn't want to come but they talked me into it. I guess I was asking for a death warant. That'd look so great" She rolled her eyes as her sarcastic comment was made. She turned to the lion cub "It was hell on earth there. I'm actually glad you weren't there"
XXXXXX

"Now you cut that talk out right now Pinnochio!" Ronno snapped, shocked and hurt that his brother was beating himself up like this. If loki wasn't so cruel, or Nella wasn't so angry or if Vitani wasn't so judgemental... Poor Pinnochio. This wasn't fair to him. Ronno's eyes moistened up "It IS my job! I AM your brother and brothers take care of each other! It may have been your idea but I'm the one who set all the plans to attack up! I was such a coward not even to run to you! If it wasn't for jim, you'd been dead!" He allowed tears to flow then and he repeated sadly "You could've been dead and I wouldn't be able to save you. So yeah, it is my fault, I failed alright? It's not your fault!" He then began to hear a slam at the wall and heard loki shouting, it caused Ronno to rant "You know what? The adults don't understand us. We were just trying to help. Trying to be useful instead of sit around, you did a good thing and this is how you're being paid? What bull!"

[Deleted]

Living Room:

The Tod stepped back when La and Loki entered the room. The fox jumped once the boom from the wall hit his ears. He spit in Loki's direction, upset by being startled. Then, the ginger dog listened. What a canny pickle his *ahem* "allies" were in. Maybe he'd drop by the Critic's place later and see about that?

~*~

Ratilda didn't have much else to say, not even when it was announced that the turtles had gotten wise and ran off. Well, yeah. You can't keep a goodie-goodie down the path of villainy for too long anyway. Somehow, they'll always turn on you. She liked to avoid those sort of plans. There was enough evil folk to go around. And if you wanted a good guy on your side, the way to do was to genuinely awaken their dark half, so they'd willingly help. They were pretty much screwed over trying to get the turtles back though. Maybe she could try converting their next prisoner herself? Hm, that sounded like a fun project.

~*~

Vitani heard Taffyta out at least. Her little claws came from the carpet and she rested her paw over her lower arm. It sounded like the human girl was just a victim of peer pressure. Sometimes the little lion gave into it. But that didn't excuse them for being caught. The Outlander cub smiled a little bit, thinking that maybe she could teach the other kids a thing or two about proper hunting. Then again, if Taffyta was anyone to trust, those boys were a lost cause.

"Maybe I could be a mentor to you guys. I know how to hunt," Then the cub whispered, "Maybe then training won't suck so much having to listen to the adults."


Garage:

Cyclonus watched with a cocky grin as the flesh female entered the barred cage. His smile faltered once Dr.Smith began speaking. Actually, the helicopter robot wasn't thinking about torturing Jasmine. What he had in mind was more along the lines of using the human as bargaining leverage to get something he wanted: because screw the rest of the army, he wanted stuff. He'd probably demand more weapons to blow things up with. Yay! Damaging the product didn't sound like a good way to get rewards. He tapped his fingers against the floor out of boredom. Cyclonus didn't want to quite let on that he was looking to trade Jasmine for his own selfish impulses in front of another member of the army.

"Yeah sure," The Decepticon's jade optics flashed down toward Dr. Smith, "You can go now. There's something I'd like to discuss with my friend."

[Queen La]

La frowned in annoyance. Loki spoke before she could. She put a hand on his shoulder and kissed him on the cheek. She smiled at him hoping she could calm him down. She hated to see him this upset.

"All is not lost. You did hurt one of them. They might be only getting one ally instead of two." said La.

XXXX

Dark Nella froze hearing it.

"They WHAT?" said Dark Nella.

She stood up fuming. But she paused seeing the fearful expressions on some of the army and sat back down.

"Sorry. It's just we lost half the army when Facilier created his. And while we may get some back if our plans to debrainwash them work. We can't afford to lose members." said Dark Nella.

She frowned in annoyance. This just wasn't their day.

XXXX

Jim looked at him sheepishly.

"Thanks. I will. Promise you won't hover too much?" said Jim.

He paused and grinned showing he was kidding. He appreciated BLS's concern. He was flattered that he cared. He was a good friend. BLS saved his life after all so he owed him one. He paused as he said it was his duty and Jim looked at him confused and a little hurt. Was that all it was? His duty? For a second he'd thought they might be at least friends. Now he wasn't sure. He paused turning back to the conversation hearing the two turtles escaped. He froze as La said Loki had hurt one of them so perhaps only one survived.

"It doesn't matter now. They're gone. They're great warriors but losing the two of them isn't going to hurt us that much. Like Dark Nella said we lost half the army when Facilier, Rita, and Malachite formed their own army. We need to focus on getting on members back from them. We could deal with the two turtles later." said Jim.

XXXX

Pinocchio's Room:

Pinocchio paused looking up at Ronno as tears went down his face.

"I'm sorry. I know you tried. When that water came at you I was so scared. But I pushed you out of the way. You could been hurt or drowned Ronno. You're not just my brother. You and Butters are my best friends. I wouldn't know what I'd do if I lost you." said Pinocchio.

He hugged Ronno around his neck as the tears flowed. He wiped them away with his gloves as he pulled back.

"I know it was a group effort. But I was the leader. It was my job to keep everyone safe. I failed. You and Jim nearly died. Pete was captured. It's all my fault. I wish I'd never come up with the stupid idea." said Pinocchio.

Garage:

Dr. Smith paused looking at the Deception and nodded.

"Sure. I'll leave you alone with your prisoner." said Dr. Smith.

He chuckled heading inside leaving the pair alone.

XXXX

Jasmine frowned at them and soon Smith was gone and she was alone with Cyclonus.

"I don't know what you want with me. If you wanted me dead you would have dropped me on the way here. You must want something. Although I don't know what." said Jasmine.

Living Room:

Dr. Smith walks in seeing the group. He overhears the news of the turtles escape and frowns. He turns to the others.

"I do have some good news. Cyclonus kidnapped Princess Jasmine. I helped lock her in a cage and left her there. He captured her so I figured she is his prisoner." Said Dr. Smith.

The door swings open as Dr. Smith holds up a gun expecting an intruder and instead it's a tall and imposing woman.

XXXX

Natasha picked the lock and opened the door. She'd been here a couple hours and had heard about the armies. She decided to try this one first. She'd been quiet and listened to their meeting before arriving. She smiled at them.

"Hello. I'm Natasha Fatale. A spy. I would like to your your army. I believe I could be of great help to you." said Natasha.

[General Zod]

Pinnochio's room

"I don't care if I died! I care that you could've died! You're my brother and friend too man! Don't you get it?!" Ronno responded, hugging Pinnochio back, crying a lot more now. His emotions were now far more open ever since living with the Ask Thatguy family. He felt trusted here, beloved here, he felt less lonely than he did with his mother far away in the woods. Not that his mother was bad, just the life he lead was. Ronno sighed as the boy kept blaming himself, and even though it was his idea, Ronno knew they had to share the blame. Ronno calmed down enough to respond "You're right about it being your idea, I never said it wasn't. That said, I still deserve the punishment too. And believe it or not, I don't mind it. I'm ok with being grounded. You're safe and I'm safe and that's what matters" He sighed, nuzzling the boy again and talked "Hey. It's ok. I really mean it. I for one think you did the right thing. Let the others be upset all they want, it's not going to change the fact we got some people back"

"I promise. Don't worry. You're a boy of your own devices" BLS responded, aware that Jim was joking and smiled. However he was off-put by Jim's sudden confusion and hurt look. BLS now worried that he hurt the boy's feelings unintentionally. He was about to say something but Loki continued the conversation of the turtles and Jim responding that it wasn't really that bad. That they had other things to worry about. He responded "Jim and Dark nella are right. The turtle's aren't the big picture, our lack of members are. We need to get Mechakara and his children back before they do something they'll regret for the rest of their lives" He sighed about the the turtle's escaping and was relieved that one was at least hurt by Loki. It meant a consquence was given to the traitors. Now back to Jim's hurt look, BLS whispered to him "I apoligize. I did not mean to state it was a duty. I meant to execute it as that I am your friend and I care about you. A metaphorical duty is what I meant" He then saw Natasha and immediately stood up. BLS went over and responded "You wish to join us eh? Well may I ask why?"
XXXXXXX

Loki's face was looking at the wall and his arm was on it as La came to him. He was angry enough not to bother stopping La from touching him but the woman kissed his cheek and that seemed to simmer down his anger and frustration quite a lot. Enough to make him drop his arm and face her. His face turned from frustration to some sort of grateful comfort as La convinced him not to be mad, instead to acknowledge that things weren't lost yet, that one of them might not live. That caused the god to feel a bit more relieved. That the traitors didn't leave unpunished. His cool gaze slowly but surely transformed into a pleased expression and he rubbed his hand over her face affectionately. He responded "Even in my worst moments you come to rescue me my dearest love" He then turned to see Natasha but it seemed Ask Thatguy and BLS took care of that situation. The god turned back to La and responded with a hint of relunctance "You are right. Still wish I hit both of them. Those traitors. I swear if they come back near me I will not miss next time"
XXXXX

Ask Thatguy facepalmed at the mere mention of the turtle's again, that only one was injured. Both escaped and both Nella and Jim were commenting that there was nothing they could do. Frustrated he commented "Damn them. Those blasted turtles. I hope nothing but death for them now" This wasn't what the team needed. Nothing of the sort. They needed members and they were dropping like flies. Ask Thatguy did perk up though at the mention of someone mentioning they wanted to join. ATG walked over and said "You're indeed at the right time. We require a lot of members. However like BLS asked, I must really ask why? You are indeed helpful I'm sure but we have had a lot of people come and gone, what can you offer and why do you wish to offer it to us?" Ask Thatguy turned suddenly when two new members came into the picture
XXXXXXX

Not far behind Natasha was both General Zod and Shredder. While Zod walked politely, Shredder walked with purpose, while Zod looked around with dignity, Shredder stood upright as if to show power. Zod and Shredder had met but said nothing when they both realized they were entering the same house and both agreed to fend for themselves. While Shredder stood where he was, Zod went over to nella first, ignoring Ask Thatguy surprisingly. Zod spoke "Greetings friend. I am general Zod. Normally I would ask for kneeling but I believe you are too powerful to be asked such a question. I have come to join a army, due to the fact I have heard rumors of war against the critic. The critic is a enemy of mine and I willingly serve anyone who despises him"

"I have come for the turtle's heads. I have heard of their survival and it would give me great pleasure to kill them and their rodent master" Shredder said defiantly, as if he demanded attention. Shredder chuckled darkly "Come now madame and sir. I can make it worth your while with my knowledge over who the turtle's are, their weaknesses and more importantly my own power is unlimited"
