Shredder POV

Unknown to Sukankuzumi, I was with Tiger Claw on the roof. I motioned for Tiger Claw to leave as he was turning to do so Catherine called to him.

"Please don't leave me alone with him, Please help me!" Catherine pleaded with Tiger Claw.

"Shut up you little brat!" Sukankuzumi replied hitting Catherine across the face this time leaving claw marks across her cheek.

Tiger Claw growled and was about to jump down to where the two were but out of the corner of his eye he could see me shaking my head no. As furious as I was that Sukaankuzumi had disobeyed me I didn't want Tiger Claw to interfere.

Tiger Claw nodded and instead asked "it was my understanding your orders were to destroy the turtles and return the Master's daughter to him unharmed. What made you think you had the right to disobey this order and intentionally harm the Master's daughter?"

Sukankuzumi hated being grilled like he was some kind of criminal but he chose to answer Tiger Claw's question. "The Master told me to do what ever it takes to destroy the turtles. I'm only following his orders. If it doesn't seem like her life is in jeopardy why would the turtles come to her rescue? Believe me as I said, no real harm will come to her."

Tiger Claw frowned, "ok it's your funeral but I wouldn't want yo be the one to have to explain those claw marks to the Master."

"Just go do your job and leave me to do mine!"

As Tiger Claw turned to leave once more I Catherine called to him again pleading with him once more not to leave her. "Please don't leave me here alone with him."

Tiger Claw looked down at Catherine and sighed. "I'm sorry my dear but I can't interfere with the orders the Master has given Sukankuzumi. The Master has made it clear we are to take every opportunity to destroy the turtles once and for all." A smile crossed Sukankuzumi's  face.

Tiger Claw turned his attention back to Sukankuzumi. "If I were you I'd wipe that smirk off your face. The Master isn't going to be happy with the harm you've caused his daughter. She was to be unharmed."

"If your plan to destroy the turtle's doesn't succeed you'll answer to him. Know this, should you fail and any more harm befall The Master's daughter  I will personally take pleasure in punishing you as the Master sees fit."

"Of course," Sukankuzumi replied with a smile. At last he had his revenge on his wretched adopted daughter. His adopted daughter's own father had given his men orders not to interfere with his mission. It was as if the Shredder had given him personal permission to put his revenge agents her in motion. By the time he was done Catherine would be begging him to kill her and he'd gladly oblige.

With that Sukankuzumi turned his attention back to me. "You will call the turtles and tell them that you need their help. You will tell them that If they don't surrender in the next ten minutes then I'll kill you. "

"And if I refuse?" I asked with a frown.

"Then You'll suffer the consequences. Sukankuzumi replied.

"What will you tell your Master? Won't he punish you if you return without me?

"I am no one's slave. I take orders from no man not even the Shredder. I'll simply tell him that you were killed by the turtles in the cross fire."

"If I know the Shredder, He'll never believe that, even he knows the turtles would never hurt anyone. If your going to kill me then do it! I'll never betray the turtles. They maybe the foot clans enemies but I'll have no part in causing their destruction!"

"Then your as good as dead. By now my poisonous neurotoxins  should be taking effect. I wouldn't count on your father to rescue you. The only one who could possibly save you from my neurotoxins is your turtle friend." Sukankuzumi replied.

Unknown to Sukaankuzumi I was closer then He thought. For I was watching the situation unfold from the rooftop above the street. I could see my daughter gazing up in my direction with a look of disappointment in her eyes as she scanned the roof tops for any sign of the turtles or the foot clan. Then as soon as it had arose the look vanished and was replaced with a look that the I knew all to well, a look of anger and hatred.

I smiled my plan was working. My daughter would soon realize that the turtles weren't coming. I had sent the purple dragons, fish face, Dogcoon , Bebop, Rocksteady and my robots ninjas on ahead to keep the turtles busy. Now I was adding Tiger Claw to the already deadly mix.

They wouldn't have time to rescue Catherine. They'd be too busy fighting for their own lives. Then when all hope would seem lost when it seemed that Sukankuzumi would move to strike my daughter I would step in and save her at just the right moment.

Catherine POV

I was trying hard to fight back tears that were beginning to form in my eyes. It wasn't like the turtles not to show up when I needed them. Had they stopped caring about me because I was the daughter of their worst enemy? "Someone please help me" I moaned as Sukankuzumi backed me into a corner.

"No one is going to hear your cries for help. As you said, if your not going to call your turtle friends then you are of no more use are you to me. You should start feeling the effects from the first dose of my neurotoxins right about now."

"How did you poison me?" I asked as I started gasping for breath. Sukankuzumi didn't respond instead he looked at his claws and smiled. With what little energy I had left I ran my fingers over the claw marks her hand. Suddenly, I felt as if someone was choking me. If what Sukankuzumi had said was true then I would  soon be dead but at least I had saved the turtles.

Sukankuzumi smiled "at last I have my revenge. You have only a few moments before you will have no control over your own body, my toxins will cause you to blackout. Oh but don't worry, you won't die from one dose. If you want to survive you'll have no choice but to do my bidding. I'll force you to kill the turtles and then the Shredder."

"No," I moaned as I slumped to the ground.

"What have you done to my daughter?" Came the voice of the Shredder from directly behind Sukankuzumi.

Sukankuzumi turned around to face the Shredder. "Master, what brings you here?"

"That is no concern of yours, now Answer me!What have you done to my daughter?"

"I accidentally scratched her. It seems I have neurotoxins in my claws and quills. I'm not sure what the effects of those toxins will be however, I'm sure she will be fine." Sukankuzumi replied looking down at me with fake concern.

The Shredder shoved Sukankuzumi out of the way. "You had better hope that whatever you've done to her is reversible! if she dies, death will be the least of your worries!" The Shredder growled as he picked me up.

"I didn't realize that a scratch would cause her this much harm.  I'd never harm her intentionally." Sukankuzumi replied with fake concern once again. Looking over at me he continued, "Who knows what symptoms she will suffer." Sukankuzumi replied.

"Baxster will figure it out. Until then this is your punishment" with that the Shredder placed a collar on Sukankuzumi activating it.

"What does this do? Sukankuzumi asked a little worried.

"You will see in time. Right now we have more important things to be concerned with. For now we need to focus on getting Catherine back to Baxster's lab."

"You'll never get her back to the lab in time" Sukankuzumi muttered.

"I wouldn't be so sure of that" the Shredder replied pushing a button activating the technodrome that the Krang had lent him. Sukankuzumi's jaw dropped he had never seen such a vehicle before. "Get in" Shredder demanded to which Sukankuzumi readily obeyed. Just as the Shredder was about to close the technodrome's doors the turtles arrived followed closely by the Shredder's gang.

The Shredder sighed, "imbeciles" he muttered. They were suppose to keep those pesky turtles busy not bring them right to us. However, before the turtles could react the doors to the technodrome shut and the Shredder, Sukankuzumi and I had disappeared.

"Umm, dudes what the shell just happened?" Mickey asked his brothers. Who looked just as shocked as he did.
