(General P.O.V)

No more talking. The White Shadow held his stance as the first of his opponents reached him. Twirling a kusarigama in his hands, the Shinobi was fast and dexterous.

"Aiyah!"

He swung out the chain connected to the left scythe. The White Shadow stepped forward and raised his hands.

A clang rang out as the blade and shaft were caught between his forearms. He flexed his muscles and the weapon broke, sending shards flying away. He leaned to the left and watched as the second blade passed by his face, getting close enough to slice his cheek, yet missing by a millimeter.

The White Shadow grabbed the clinking chain and pulled the Ninja's body towards him. Bracing the Ninja's right leg against his own, he slammed him onto the floor. The concrete below cracked as the Ninja immediately passed out.

'Always be on the move.'

He could almost hear Bronze Tiger's voice instructing him. Following the teaching, Aden cartwheeled over the downed assailant, escaping the kunais and shuriken that plunged into the ninja in an unfortunate case of friendly fire.

He rose up briefly and then immediately dropped to the ground, sweeping the legs from under one of the four ninjas who ran forward to meet him. The ninja fell and dropped his tanto, the metal clanging onto the ground. It bounced a little. The White Shadow grabbed it's handle and slashed the Achilles heel of the ninja closest to him in an expert roll.

The ninja let out a scream before the pommel of the Tanto smashed against the side of his head, sending him to unconsciousness. The White Shadow used the flat side of the blade to block an attack from two of the ninjas moving in snychronized motion. They each covered the other's blind sides.

The White Shadow took a step back, blocking a slash aimed for his belly, then deflected a tanto stab to his neck, before leaning out of the way of a kick aimed for his solar plexus. He raised his Tanto and brought it stabbing down at the thigh of the offending leg. The Tanto run through flesh and bone, eliciting a painful grunt by the Shinobi. He pulled it out and aimed for his neck only for his partner to block his attack while the wounded Ninja tried to fall back on his usable leg.

The White Shadow's move turned to be a feint as his swing sent the blood covering the Tanto onto the Ninja's face.

'There is no such thing as fighting dirty. There is such a thing as being dead.'

He heard his master's voice caution him after one of their many spars.

Showing adept skill the Ninja tried to pull back, just as another, this one wielding Nunchuks jumped over him with a yell, bringing one end of the weapon down on The White Shadow's head. The White Shadow pulled his hand back and let the Tanto fly. The weapon buried itself in the Ninja's chest with an audible thunk and the man fell down, dead. They might have been durable but so were the weapons they wielded.

Aden's instincts warned him of an impeding attack and sure enough, arrows fell down on his position. He strafed to the left evading the barrage while reading the battlefield.

'Never let your guard down.'

He remembered the lesson very well and adhered. The bowman stood beside Shredder who did not seem to pay attention to Aden or anything else going on.

The leader of the Foot Clan's demonic chi rippled out of him in waves. The White Shadow narrowed his eyes and flicked his finger to deflect the arrow aimed for his throat. His eyes made contact with the ninja and promised death with the gaze.

The ninja shivered and decided to do his very best to take him down. Luckily, most of his clan members were bearing down on the target's position. It would take the target going through all of them to even hope to reach him. All he had to do was keep shooting his arrows.

The White Shadow's steps were light yet full of power as he ran forward and kicked off the side of a container, sailing to the other side of the stacks. The arrows were more of an annoyance that he destroyed in mid air before landing on top of a gigantic enhanced rhino that was easily 3 meters tall. His elbow slammed onto the back of it's head and the animal crumbled to the ground before it could complete it's charge and attack Mercy from the Back.

The White Shadow heard the whistle of an arrow cutting through the air only to be smacked away by a sudden green figure with a red bandana strapped across his face. Raphael turned his head to the White Shadow.

"You're welcome."

He threw over his shoulder.

"Handle the creatures and grunts, I'll get the Tin Can."

The White Shadow ordered and jumped from the downed Rhino's head to the top of the stacks of container in one fell swoop, leaving behind a gale that pushed the ninja turtle back.

'He's fast!'

Raphael thought, a little amazed.

"Hey don't fucking order me around!"

He shouted at the blurring figure then quickly ducked behind the Limo to escape the hail of bullets. The Gorilla standing next to the walking brain in a can had hoisted a machine gun and begun spraying them around.

"So this looks bad..."

Mikey whined, bringing his hands to his ears to cover them from the noise of the machine gun.

"Nothing we're not used to."

Raphael told them, thinking of a way to get to the Gorilla.

"Mercy. Call in Air support. We're moving out."

The bald headed man crouching between Donnie and the red haired woman in a suit ordered the woman calmly.

"Already did."

Then as the hail from the machine gun died out, she rose on one knee, her forearm shifting into a futuristic looking energy gun and started lighting up The Brain's and Ultrahumanite's position.

"Whoa. That's so cool!! Donny can you build something like that for me!?"

Mikey asked in excitement.

"Well, that depends, are you willing to give up your arm?"

Donny asked in exasperation.

"Forget it."

The younger turtle shivered.

"This doesn't make any sense. I managed to acquire a drop of blood from Leo's sword after he dealt with the oversized Mantis and after running analysis, something caused a rapid growth in muscle, bone and tissue growth in the animal."

"Is it Ooze?"

Raph asked in trepidation. That stuff was dangerous in the wrong hands.

A glint of interest appesred in Luthor's eyes.

Shredder had managed to enhance the foot clan and that had elevated the grunts from nuisances to actual danger.

"No it's a different bio-chemical formula."

Luthor joined the conversation.

"It's called Kobra-venom. A serum that can enhance a subject's physical parameters in exchange for mental degradation and an increase in base instincts."

Donny's mind worked fast to connect the dots. If their minds degraded then that meant,

"I'm guessing the reason he can control them is due to the collars placed around the animal's necks."

Donny asked but it was more of a conclusion.

"You would be right in that assumption. So at risk of sounding uncaring of our current predicament, who are you?"

"We are the awesome, fantabulous, totally amazing..."

Raphael cupped Mikey's mouth as he stared at Luthor in distrust.

"Sorry, this one's mouth is like a loose canon."

He told Luthor unapologetically.

The bald headed man merely snorted.

"I see."

"So what now?"

Donny asked.

"I have an idea, we split into two groups." A smile worked its way to Raphael's mouth.

"Then we follow Leo's lead."

Their eyes followed his sight and saw how Leo was darting in and out of the Foot Clan, clashing with each and everyone one of the Ninjas while ended straight for Shredder. He was coming from the left while the White Shadow was coming from the right, methodically putting down the ninjas with precision blows.

In the middle the Shredder stood tall, body blazing with black power. Were it simply Tengu Oroku Saki, he would have started his attack. The entire city would be burning under his power. But that impatience and arrogance were tempered by Ch'rell's own experience. This was a whole new world that had no idea who he was. This could be a new beginning for him.

His awareness swept out across the globe, picturing and understanding what sort of world he had found himself in. It had it's own powerful protectors. However, power was not something that the Shredder lacked now.

The White Shadow's kick snaked out in a kapoera move and landed on a grunt's sternum, cracking it and sending the man flying back to bowl over two of his comrades. Another arrow zipped towards him. He contemptuously defected it with his fingers bent into a hook in a beautiful depiction of Scorpion style.

7 enemies remaining between him and his target. Despite the threat they would have posed to someone like 'The Team,' they were pretty easy to take out.

'Do not fall into a rhythm. When you establish one, you allow the enemy to predict your next actions.'

He could practically hear Bronze Tiger shouting at him not to grow arrogant or lose sight of what was important.

The main priority was getting Luthor out of here. He could have his fun after making sure that happened. Hence The White Shadow's body tensed in preparation, crouching a little and eyeing the ninjas ready to kill him.

"I've already taken down most of you fucks. Give up already or you're dead."

His taunt/warning was met with silence. Ultimately it didn't work. He could feel their wariness practically permeate through the entire space.

And then he was off. He kept his speed slow and his body posture low. The first Shinobi to harass him, used Sai's as his weapons. He stabbed out, only for The White Shadow to use his footing and shift his body slightly to the side and then under the outstretched arm of the assailant.

The was a crack as the arm bent at the elbow with a sickening crunch. The grunt's painful howl was silenced by a backhanded blow to the side the head that sent him flying off the container.

"Kaito!"

One of the grunts shouted in alarm.

"Aaahhh!! Die you bastard!"

This time there were two of them. A katana passed above The White Shadow's body as he leaned back, kipped back up, avoiding the low slash from the second ninja and quickly slammed his fingers onto the neck, forehead, solar plexus, hips and thighs of one of them.

The chi blocking technique had advanced even more under Bronze Tiger's direction as he could now do this... A clang rang out as Katana met Katana in mid air.

"Bintu! What is the meaning of this!?"

The ninja subhected to the Chi blocking technique was actually fighting his comrades!

"I...I...can't stop it! It's it's not me!"

He stated, deflecting a slash and burying the Katana into the belly of his friend. Bintu's eyes widened then everything went dark as something slammed onto his head. The thing turned out to be Aden's foot as he sailed over the two, blocking the two arrows aimed at his chest and head, before landing on one of the grunts with his knees on his chest.

The ribs gave way with a crunch and Aden immediately rolled out of the way, bowling over a ninja and placing them in a judo hold that cut off the air to their brains in seconds. He stood up on one knee, grabbed that Ninja's Kunai and proceeded to block the dozens of Shuriken coming at him from the front while running forward.

The one throwing the shuriken started backing away and increasing the rate at which the star shaped weapons escaped his hands. The White Shadow made it 3 meters close to him and then slid the rest of the way on his back.

The legs of the grunt were swept from under him before he could jump over the attack and fell. His cheek met a heavy fist that broke his neck and sent his body spinning through the air uncontrollably. Aden got on one knee and strafed to the side in a beautiful motion, evading the three arrows following closely behind each other.

He exerted the least force he could and the Kunai in his hands sailed through the air, landing onto the forehead of the grunt shooting out arrows. And just like that he'd cleared the path between him and Shreddder.

The air was supercharged as he walked towards the armored figure slowly. There was no need for words. This would be a glorious fight. A test of skill and power to see who would walk out of here victorious and alive.

A sudden explosion of shadow flames appeared between him and Shredder. Four figures blazing with elemental power. The White Shadow narrowed his eyes.

"Get out of my way or face your death."

He calmly offered.

The Foot Mystics said nothing.

"So be it."

The White Shadow decided.

Before he could attack, he heard the distinct sound of wind violently howling in the air above them. A glint of interest and surprise appeared in the White Shadow's eyes.

Red Tornado had just flown down between Luthor's Limo and The Brain's monstrous enhanced animals.
