Raphael took the serum and made his way to Central Park, there on a elevated rock he saw Sasuke who turned to greet him. “You made it!”
Raph, “So where is this dojo?”
Suddenlty the rock they stood on began to descend into darkness, the opening closing slowly. Inside, Raph found himself surrounded by lanterns and was being lead by Sasuke who carried a golden oriental lantern. They came to a room with many circles red on the black floor, and standing there was Shureddā. Sasuke kneeled on one of the circles. Shureddā Motionsd his spije grauntlet hand for him to rise and stand by his side. Raphael stood on the obsidian floor uneasy.
Shureddā Voice echoed through his mouthpiece, “closer.” Raph took a few steps, and was now in arm reach.
Shureddā breathed, his mask like a urn echoing.
“You are strong.. but you constrain your power needlessly. Anger is not your enemy, it is your ally. Ashi ga kuru!” Suddenly Foot Clansman appeared in their purple mantels armed with Ninjatos.
Raph looked at them, “Hey.. I came for Sasuke, but real weapons is a bit much!”
Shureddā breathed. “Foot, Kill!”
The Magenta Ninjas sprung and attacked. Raph drew from his sleeves two Sais, and blocked blades that danced around him, the clanging echoing in the dark dojo. Raph hit one of the Foot Soldiers in the head with the tang, and then another with the pummel.
Shureddā spoke. “More!”
More Ninjas flooded the room swinging blades and staffs, overwhelming Raph who was now covered in a pile of them.
Shureddā shouted, “Rise! Strike! Use your rage!”
Suddenly the pile of Footmen flew and Raph began smashing skulls and throwing combatants im a gury. He shouted “Aaahh!” As he beat down Ninja after Ninja, his Sais digging in and boring into heads and necks, till all of them were in a pile.
Shureddā Nodded. “You see.. your anger has made you powerful. Don’t resist it, embrace it and become one of my agents.”
Raph’s chest heaved, and as the Sensei spoke he heard Splinter’s warning in his head.
“An agent of what?”
Shureddā replied, “A new New York, one where there is order, and honor. This city has become a sewer.. and there is only one way to save it…”
Shureddā paused. “And when you are ready I will teach you how.”
