Hun "That any way to greet your old man? Pointin' that bat at me like you wanna bust my skull open?" Hun "I ain't gonna lie to you, Casey—that hurts." Casey Jones "Shut up, Dad—I don't wanna hear it. I put up with your crap for years." Casey "Hurt? You don't even know what hurt means." Hun "Yer dead wrong, kid. I know from hurt—all kinds of damn hurt. So much, I trued for years to drown it all down. But all that did was make more hurt—for me, for your mom..." Hun "...And, yeah, for you." Hun "I know I hurt you, Casey, and I'm sorry, I can't change that—what's done is done. But now I got what it takes to make things better." Hun "No more boozin', no more feelin' sorry for myself. Only respect..." Hun "...And power!" Hun "Come on, Casey... Be smart here. It can be all ours—mine and yours. The Jones boys..." Hun "...A family again." |

WHOM April O'Neil "Good thing we have a secret weapon of our own." Donnie "April?! What the heck are you doing?" April "Thought maybe you could use some help help-testing Harold's gear. Seems to work great, huh?" Donnie "Y-Yeah... It does." |

Mikey "Oh, crud, the psycho safari twins are gettin' up..." KLAK Mikey "...What do we do now, Donnie?!"

"...And pray Father and Raph do the same." Leo "Fool. You will die for that." Raph "See, now I'm gonna have to ask you to change your tone, man." Raph "You sound just like that chump Shredder right now, and we both know that ain't really your thing, bro." KLANG Leo "You know nothing about me!" Raph "Nah, actually, I know a lot." |

SWiiiP Leo "Rah!" Raph "I know the only thing you like more than trainin' is gettin' ready for trainin'." Leo "Hyah!" Raph "I know you secretly named your swords Musashi and Kamiizumi." KLNK Leo "Grar!" Raph "I know you avoid playin' video games with Mikey 'cause you hate gettin' beat by him every time." Raph "I especially know that if you were really yourself right now, I'd never be able to do this." FWP Leo "Wha—?" TUK Raph "And I know I ain't gonna fight you no more."

Shredder "Look, Yoshi—watch as your momentary advantage quickly slips away..." "...And becomes my ultimate triumph." Shredder "We were clan brothers once—I, your clan leader. But you defied my will and betrayed my trust and, in doing so, dishonored the Foot." FWAK Splinter "Hnf!" Shredder "The Foot was your family, Yoshi—before Tang Shen and before these abominations you call your children." CRNCH Splinter "Gyaagh!" Shredder "And I will never forgive you for forsaking us." |

[Later.] Antonio "Here is our tribute to you, Shredder, as you requested. We hope we can put the Savate fiasco behind us and move forward in a more cooperative fashion." Shredder "Excellent. In time, I'm confident you will find this to be a mutually beneficial arrangement for all involved, Antonio." Shredder "You are dismissed." Shredder "Karai, I would speak with you now." Karai "Master, there are no signs of the turtles or Alopex. We will continue to—" Shredder "Silence." Shredder "You have created mutants without my knowledge. You have acted independently of my will and disobeyed by authority." Shredder "This gross insubordination is punishable by death." Shredder "Do you deny it?" Karai "I... I do not." Karai "But all I did, I did in the name of the Foot." Karai "Everything I do... I do to honor the Clan." Karai "I accept my fate." Shredder "Very well." Shredder "Rise..." Shredder "...Chunin." |
Page 21[]
Karai "Master...?" Shredder "These past months I sought to wrest control of this city from the pathetic vermin who squandered the power they held." Shredder "Leonardo served as a psychological weapon in my war—a reminder of the power I hold over man and mutant." Shredder "I has also hoped to use him to finally rid this world of Hamato Yoshi. Although I failed in this, the damage I have done to Yoshi's family will remain." Shredder "But these were not the only reasons I made Leonardo my chunin. I also did it to test you, Karai." Shredder "I needed to know if you were truly worthy of being my second-in-command—of ruling this city in my stead while I focus my energies elsewhere." Karai "Me?" Shredder "You remained loyal through many difficult trials, displaying cunning, tenacity, and patience at every turn. I sought the very best in you." Shredder "...And you did not disappoint." Shredder "There is something important for you to understand, Karai. Many think family is a birthright. It is not." Shredder "Family is something to be earned." Shredder "That is why the Foot will always be stronger than its enemies." Shredder "Our family, our bond, runs deeper than blood. It is forged in pain, sacrifice, and combat. Once tested, it is unbreakable." |

"That is why we are destined to rule all." Hob "Hope it was worth it—that lost pup of yours don't look so good, and now you're all gonna be on Shredhead's most wanted list." Donnie "Leo's gonna be fine, Hob." April "We won't be sticking around, anyway. I know exactly the place we can go." Splinter "And we must leave now. Saki will be searching for us." Casey "You sure you don't wanna come with us, Angel?" Angel "Nah—thanks, man. My dad needs me here. I'll be okay." Splinter "My son, I am so happy that—" Leo "Don't... Don't touch me." Mikey "Uh... Leo?" "The entire world lies before us..." "...And there is nowhere that is safe for our enemies to hide." |
