\u201cCould someone explain what\u2019s happening to Shred-head?\u201d asked Michaelangelo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMikey, what happens when you leave your phone on the charger for extended periods of time?\u201d asked Donatello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, the battery becomes so\u2026\u201d Michaelangelo realized what Donatello was driving at. \u201c\u2026so dependant on the cable and it can\u2019t hold a charge all that good anymore! Dude, are you telling me the sword\u2019s stand-?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWas its charging dock!\u201d realized Leonardo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExactly! Their batteries probably aren\u2019t lithium-ion ones,\u201d confirmed Donatello, \u201cbut it looks like the Utroms still had the same problem as us in Ancient Japan! Probably still do today!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBAH!\u201d dismissed the Shredder. \u201cBatteries or not, I still know how to use a sword!\u201d The Shredder swung wildly\u2026not exactly proving his boast. Leonardo easily intercepted the sword swings with his katanas and knocked Tengu no Ken out of the Shredder\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLooks like Leo knows how to use two swords better than you can use one,\u201d snarked Raphael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMOVE ASIDE!\u201d called Kamen Rider Ichig\u014d. He front-flipped into the air, then stuck his foot out. \u201cRIDER KICK!\u201d he shouted. He then sailed towards the Shredder at high speeds, foot first! The kick connected with the Shredder\u2019s face and knocked the helmet and face mask off of his head!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While that went on, Shockwave, Jazz, and Nightbird were dealing with their Terrorcon opponents. Shockwave noticed how Jazz and Nightbird were fighting. \u201cLearned one another\u2019s styles, have we?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAn agreement between us,\u201d replied Nightbird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow better to teach our respective schools?\u201d continued Jazz. He then combined Circuit-Su with Five Servos of Doom to take down Straxus. Shockwave pursed her lips as she arched an eyebrow under her visor. She then combined Metallikato with Crystalocution, shattering Rodimus Unicronus\u2019 arm completely. Rodimus Unicronus screamed in pain as he fell, clutching his stump as it leaked Dark Energon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFascinating,\u201d said Shockwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGrgh! Stupid, back-stabbing ape!\u201d snapped Tormo. \u201cWhy is Yamta the only sane human I know?!\u201d His ears then twitched when he heard a certain phrase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFinal attack!\u201d called Sengoku\u2019s belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUh oh,\u201d gulped Tormo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRIDER SENGOKU KICK!\u201d announced Sengoku as he performed his Rider Kick. He slammed his foot straight into Tormo\u2019s nose! Sengoku then landed and posed as an explosion engulfed Tormo. The fires of the explosion died and a singed Tormo picked himself up while holding his broken nose. The Lords he called in were all battered and beaten, as were his allies. Taking Order now would be suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRETREAT!\u201d he ordered. \u201cWE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE!\u201d He then glared at Sengoku. \u201cMark my words, those responsible for this humiliation will pay with their lives! And when next we meet, I will collect the fee\u2026PERSONALLY!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHey, that\u2019s my line!\u201d snapped Straxus as he opened a rift. Tormo and his forces then retreated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDudes, we got Order,\u201d remarked Michaelangelo, \u201clet\u2019s boogie out of here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMichaelangelo is right,\u201d agreed Splinter. \u201cLet\u2019s go.\u201d He pulled out a smoke bomb and threw it at the ground. In the smoke, Donatello grabbed Tengu no Ken. Once the smoke cleared, the only one standing was a maskless Shredder. He roared to the heavens once he saw the damage. When his roar died down, he heard sirens and the click of safeties being unlocked on guns. He turned to see New York State Police leveling their guns at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOroku Saki?!\u201d yelped an officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t believe it!\u201d shouted another. \u201cHe\u2019s the Shredder!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHands in the air!\u201d ordered a third. The Shredder snarled and threw a smoke bomb, vanishing in the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cState Police were baffled when it was discovered that Oroku Saki, the head of the Technological Cosmic Research Institute,\u201d said the newswoman once everyone made it back to the Lair, \u201cwas, in reality, the Shredder, the villainous head of the criminal agency known as the Foot Clan. In response to all that was revealed, the Governor called for TCRI to be thoroughly investigated and brought under state control. The preliminary investigation also turned up the body of Big Mama Joro, the once head of the Yokai Mafia. Many Yokai families are expressing relief that such a criminal element has been cut off.\u201d The camera turned to a Kappa in a hoodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet me tell you,\u201d he said, \u201cwhen I heard that the spider was killed, I found myself sleeping easier at night. She wanted us Yokai to conquer humans, but the majority of us don\u2019t swing that way. We just wanna work with humans. WITH humans, not FOR them.\u201d The broadcast turned back to the newswoman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUnfortunately, what this will mean for the future is up to conjecture as many pundits believe that the death of Big Mama Joro will create a power vacuum for her underlings to try and sieze control. On top of that, with the Shredder evading custody, it is more than likely that the Foot Clan would take advantage of any Yokai Mafia civil war. Irma Langenstein, Channel 6 News.\u201d Raphael then turned off the TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStill a gloomy lady, ain\u2019t she?\u201d he muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe has a point,\u201d remarked Hiroki. \u201cWho\u2019s to say that the power vacuum won\u2019t result in civil war?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not as bad as that,\u201d replied Hongo. \u201cThe Shredder will be scrambling to try and recover the power he lost and the Yokai Mafia families will be keeping out of human affairs for a while so they can build up their own power bases. Either way, the problem has made itself into manageable chunks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou are quite right, Hongo-san,\u201d agreed Splinter. \u201cThe power evil has over New York may not have gone away totally, but it IS diminished.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Speaking of things diminishing,\u201d remarked Donatello, \u201cso\u2019s my stomach! Where\u2019s Mikey with those pizzas?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd Jazz too,\u201d agreed Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey sure are taking their sweet time!\u201d muttered Leonardo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t rush art, my dudes,\u201d called Michealangelo as he and Jazz brought out a couple of pizza box towers, enough for everyone to have a slice. \u201cYou\u2019d get crap art otherwise. We\u2019re all named after artists in the first place anyways, we should all know that.\u201d Raphael took a sniff and his mouth watered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOooohhh, I missed the smell of good, home-made pizza!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd I had Jazz as my student, so we\u2019ll start on his first,\u201d said Michaelangelo. Jazz took four boxes off one of the towers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust scope out these babies!\u201d he said as he opened the boxes. The Turtles\u2026goggled in horror!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBabies?!\u201d yelped Raphael. \u201cThese things ain\u2019t even been born yet!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhoa, bogus!\u201d called Michaelangelo. The pizzas were the size of a man\u2019s fist instead of the usual 14 inches!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJazz, I don\u2019t believe it!\u201d snapped Donatello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIs this your idea of a sick joke?!\u201d snarled Leonardo. The Turtles growled at Jazz as they advanced menacingly on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd after I took you under my wing as a pizza student?!\u201d growled Michaelangelo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhoa, chill out! No way!\u201d protested Jazz. \u201cAsk your dad! It was his idea!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThrowing our pops under the bus, huh?!\u201d snarled Raphael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt WAS my idea,\u201d interjected Splinter. The Turtles goggled at their father. \u201cI had Jazz make them especially for you boys to remind you that the small victories are just as important as the two big ones achieved tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Two?\u201d asked Raphael. \u201cI mean, what we did to the Shredder\u2019s a big one, but what\u2019s the other?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou coming back, you dingus,\u201d replied Donatello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRaphael, there was no way we could do anything without you,\u201d said Leonardo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Yeah, me running out on you guys was a pretty big mistake, wasn\u2019t it?\u201d muttered Raphael. \u201cWell, I ain\u2019t making that mistake again!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd I say that\u2019s worth celebrating,\u201d said Splinter. \u201cNow, there ARE normal pizzas in there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s all we wanna know!\u201d said Michaelangelo. \u201cLet\u2019s dig in, folks! COWABUNGA!\u201d The pizza party then began!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
