~My Perspective~

As I left everyone else in the lair with Leo, I was thinking hardcore about everything that I'm going to do next. It got me feeling all of the feelings. I looked over at Leo who was looking at me.

"Baby, how are you feeling?"

"Emotional and determined."

"I know it's gonna be hard seeing Red Claw again... He's done so many bad things to you."

"I know..."

"But we'll kill him. I just know we will."

"And the Shredder too."

"Yeah. Both of them are going to be in a lot of pain and face the claws of death."

"Let's bring it on. I will not rest until the bloody tyrants are put to rest."

"Let's do this." he smirks.

~Time skip on the roof~

When we both made it to the roof of the building across where the cursed lair was, we were strategizing a well done plan.

(Shredder's lair)

"Okay baby, what's the plan?" I asked him.

"We need to sneak in and fight just the Shredder and Red Claw without his henchmen knowing that were here."

"You're right. It'll be more difficult when they're around."

"Yeah."

"Alright. Let's do this, and don't forget your training."

"I won't."

"Okay baby. Let's do this together."

"Yeah, let's." he said as he kissed my hand and jumped to the lair platform.

I smiled and jumped over the street and landed on the platform next to him. Then we both entered the lair through the broken window. We looked inside to only see Red Claw and Shredder having a conference by theirselves at the throne.

"There they are." I whispered, softly growling at Red Claw.

"Are you ready Aqua?"

"Yes I am."

"Good, you take down Red Claw while I take down the Shredder."

"Sounds like a plan." I said as I jumped right on Red Claw and started to fight him while Leo jumped down to fight the Shredder.

"Well, Well, Well, look who it is. You came back so I can finally kill you my Princess." Red Claw smirked.

"You're wrong Red Claw! I'm here so I can finally bite your head off!" I furiously yelled at him.

"You'll never do that." he charged at me and bit my neck.

"Ah!" I winced in pain and clawed at his face.

I heard him yell in pain. "You'll pay for that!" he yelled as he bit my leg, picked me up by my shirt, and threw me against the wall.

But I felt something else but the wall. I turned over to see that Leo was holding me. "Oh my god, Leo! Are you okay?!" I asked frantically.

"Yeah... J-just a little hurt..." he groaned.

I gasped softly and growled loudly at Red Claw. "How dare you?!"

"Aww, did I hurt you and your little boyfriend?" Red Claw smirked.

"Grr..." I kept growling.

"Now you're an angry kitten, Princess." he smirked more.

"Grr..."

"Hmm... That's what I thought. You can't kill me."

"Grr..." I growled louder.

"You will never kill me because I killed everyone you love and I am going to also find that girl and all of your friends and kill them!" he laughed.

"NEVER!" I was in full angry wolf and ran at him fast, which resulted me at pouncing him hard through a big window. We both fell.

"Aqua!!!" I heard Leo yell as I was falling.

As we were falling, I clawed at him while he kicked me at my face. As we were almost to the ground, I bit his chest fur really hard. Then he winces and kicked my face hard, almost smashing me to the ground. But I landed on my feet and drew out my blade. We were both clashing our naked weapons against each other.

"THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR KILLING MY FAMILY!" I fought him furiously.

"You'll never see anyone once I find them all and kill them so you'll have a 2nd past to remember!" he fought back and got punched by me.

I growled really loud. "THIS IS THE LAST TIME I'LL SEE YOUR FUCKING FACE AGAIN!!" I yelled as I charged at him and stabbed him in the heart completely. I heard a pop in his system and his blood from his heart exploded on me which stained my fur.

"T-This is i-impossible... Me, killed b-by you..? Ugh..." he gasped for his last breath falls over.

I removed my blade from his chest and panted very heavily as I ran out of energy. "Aww..." I winced in pain.

"Aqua!" I heard Leo call my name.

I turned over to him and limped towards him. "Leo." I slowly hugged him while wincing in more pain and shedding a single tear.

"Are you okay? You're all covered in blood." he said worryingly.

"I'm okay. Red Claw's gone now." I looked back at his dead corpse.

"You did it." Leo smiled as he hugged me.

"I did." I smiled and shed more tears, but these tears were pure joy and relief. "I'm s-so happy and relieved." I sobbed softly.

"Me too." he wiped my tears away and kissed my lips which made me kiss back and pulled away.

"Where's Shredder?"

He frowned. "He's still in the lair... I couldn't beat him. And he gave me so much pain..." he looked down.

I saw that he had a deep gash on his leg and a crack in his shell. "He hurt you really badly." I rubbed his cheek. "Let's go back home, you're in bad shape." I said.

"Yeah. Let's go before something happens to you."

"Okay..." I said as I looked down at my injuries. There were cuts from the glass and bruises all over me, including a huge piece of glass sat my right thigh. "God he hurt me badly."

(Glass piece that was on my thigh)

Leo looked closely at my thigh. "Ooh... That looks pretty deep. Let's get going before that gets infected."

"But Leo, I'm a mermaid remember? I could heal in the water."

"Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Heh." he chuckled.

"You kissed me when I was a mermaid."

"Yeah. And it was magical." he smiled.

I smiled. "Let's go home."

"Okay." he started limping and I helped him out by laying his arm around my neck and laying my hand on his waist. "Thanks."

"You're welcome." I smiled. As we were limp walking home, my ears picked up a sound far away which made me stop walking. "Hmm?"

"What is it baby? Did you hear something?"

"I thought I heard a familiar barking noise. Oh well, let's keep going." I said as I was walking him to the alley and opened the manhole cover. "You can go first.

"Okay. Be careful." he started climbing down carefully to the bottom.

I heard more barking. It was nearby and I wanted to check it out. But I had to take care of myself, so I let it go and went down the manhole while closing the cover. As I got to the bottom, Leo held my paw and we started walking back home together. I was still relieved that I've finally avenged my family from the cursed red stain. 'Thank the Lord...'
