Operation: Rescue Venus

Sacks walked into the room, gazed upon the containment unit with Venus hooked up inside it. It took his breath away from him, knowing that this was the same way he felt when gazing upon the turtles. He couldn't believe the mutagen truly worked on humans since it meant to be an antidote, not change people.

"This is just incredible for the mutagen meant to be used as an antidote not to change people into mutants. I mean...this is...." Sacks were still in shock because this would be an excellent way to start up something for his Master.

The Shredder started to walk into the room with metallic laughter, for the small amount of mutagen had begun to change him slowly. Making his suit begin to infuse with his skin knowing that things would change for him if he didn't get himself an antidote. Venus' vision was slightly blurry though she noticed her friend and pet turtle Mimi was caged up on the table, wondering why they would want her?

"Why....why are you doing this to me," Venus asked weakly, still coming off the knockout drug.

Shredder looked over at her, thinking that it only fitted that the one thing that he wanted to cure him and create his mutant army. The source of Shredder's power for finally completing his mission for world domination would be eventually fulfilled.

"You are going to die for the good of New York. You see, your blood is the key for our takeover of New York, and since you were human before you were mutated into a turtle. It only fits; we use your blood to create an army of hybrid mutants. Work faster; I want every last drop of this freak's blood drained, analyzed, and put into canisters," ordered the voice, which was severe and fierce.

The works looked over at Shredder, nodded, "Yes, Master Shredder!"

The containment unit was activated with the extraction of Venus' blood, starting with Shredder and Sacks watching with smirks spread across their faces. Things were finally starting to go as planned without any distractions from the cretin turtles and pet rat.

"Master, I must ask, why do you want the turtle's pet," asked Karai, curious about this whole thing.

"Because Karai, this turtle is still technically a baby and with her turned into a mutant. I can raise her to become a weapon against the turtles and rats, along with taking out their allies in the process to claim victory against the cretins. Once and for all," Shredder explained looked at her.

Upon hearing this, Venus was struggling, not wanting to lose her friend to the enemy. Venus was only wasting her breath because it would be alright, thinking that this would be alright. She knew how this ends, knowing that someone would come for her though things could change. Sacks noticed on the security cameras that a battle built vehicle rammed the gates.

"Someone has entered the estate, Master Shredder," he said, looking over at him.

Shredder growled in anger; he wasn't going to allow his plans foiled. This time was not going to happen like before. The tables have turned since they would be stopping them not to allow them to interfere with his plans again.

"Sacks fill up a canister with the blood is extracted from this freak's body. I was hoping you could take it to my headquarters; this will give us the advantage. Since the turtles don't know where my headquarters are and make sure all of her blood drained. We can continue the research back at headquarters for I have the technology for it," ordered Shredder before Sacks started the extraction of mutagen separated from her blood.

Watching the mutagen start to fill up the canister, thinking that it would be heading out as planned. Venus was starting to get light-headed from the extraction of her blood, her eyes beginning to roll to the back. Hoping this wasn't going to be the end of what would happen. Shredder had his Foot soldiers guard the lab with their lives since it was going to be apart of his plans. Sack continued to watch the container filled up with the mutagen. Once it was filled up, he pulled it off and placed it into the case, locking it up and taking off with it towards the helicopter that was waiting for him to take him to Shredder's headquarters.

Karai went off after the turtles with Foot soldiers following behind her, thinking that this would distract them since she would make sure her Master's plans fulfilled. Venus' vision and ability to breathe were slowly slipping away from her, wondering if her friends would make it in time to help her. She used her powers to help guide her friends to her location, even though it drained her energy more. It didn't matter to her since it would help them get to her in time, which was her plan for the time being. Since it was the only line of attack, she could do it at the time because her abilities weren't strong enough for her to use them as she wanted.

"Hurry, boys, please," thought Venus to herself.

Her eyes slowly looked over at Mimi, knowing that she wanted to get out of the cage chomping at the cage bars. Venus had tears streaming out of her eyes, knowing that if the guys didn't get to her in time, her friend would be in the hands of Shredder, and New York would be doomed.

The turtles had been working through a plan that never really a 'plan' per-say but something for them to do. Donnie rammed the grate with the battle shell that he worked on after the garbage truck. This vehicle was more of its first test run since there wasn't any reason for him to use it until now. It was now or never, for things like this were always going to be unforeseen things that would come their way. Wondering what the outcome was going to be like since he couldn't understand what would happen? They weren't going to allow them to get away with this, for it was not going to be over until it's over. Venus was apart of their family now, and they weren't going to allow her to leave.

Leo knew that if Shredder harmed her in some way, then he was going to pay for what he had done. Donnie, Mikey, and Raph knew that Leo had deep feelings for her that had been slowly developing over time. The Foot was shooting at the vehicle while Donnie took out some shooters of his own, aiming them at the Foot soldiers. The Foot hid behind the cars peeking out to shoot at the vehicle that rammed through the gate—getting out of the car, starting to fight the Foot soldiers to make their way into the Sacks mansion. Karai started to fight Leo since she had warned him about getting too close to Venus, their target this whole time.

"I told you, Leonardo, to not get in the middle of this fight since the target was going to be in my Master's fingers. You can't deny the fact that this turtle is the key to my Master's plans. You've interfered with his plans for the last time," Karai explained while dodging the turtles' strikes.

Leo growled, "I warned you Karai, that if you missed with Venus, we would come after you and stop you. Now there's a fight that I...we intend to win without your interference."

He was striking hard with each blow to make sure that he would enter the lab without anyone getting into his way. Knocking Karai out of his way, he finally dashing into the mansion into the lab underneath where he had been taken before. His brother continued to cover Leo while knocking out a few soldiers in the process. Entering the lab, he noticed Venus in the containment unit, getting a sense of disavowing from being inside it once before. This time he didn't see any other containment units.

It could only mean that Venus was the main target like he feared as Master Splinter had feared. Leo ran over to the containment unit, hitting it with no luck, not giving her adrenaline since they didn't know how it would affect her as it did with them. Venus, clammy and weak, slowly lifted her head, seeing something blue like in her vision. It weirded her out how things were turning out like her vision. Her dream was slowly fading away to hear a familiar voice talking to her, which made her feel warm.

"Venus, we're going to get you out promise, Donnie, get her out of there now. I'm not...we not going to lose her," Leo ordered, started to get worried about her.

Shredder appeared from out of nowhere, waiting for them since it was a trap he had been set for the turtles. He had them right where he wanted them, which made this all the sweeter for him.

"Glad you could make it turtles, but you are too late soon; her blood will be drained into the canisters. You'll never be able to save her now," Shredder smirked, knowing the outcome.

The turtles narrowed their eyes, knowing that Shredder was serious about this since they knew how to take him down like they always do.

"Donnie, see what you can do with getting Venus out of the containment unit. While the rest of us hold off the Shredder," ordered Leo unsheathing the katanas, "We are in for the fight of our lives brothers, we end this right now for Venus."

Donnie started to work on hacking the computers' security system to shut the containment unit holding Venus down, knowing that it was nerve-wracking to go through this with Venus' life on the line literally. He knew that she was going to be fine once he bypassed the systems to get in. Once in, he started to reverse the containment unit from extracting her blood to giving it back to her. Well, enough of it wasn't in the canisters since they would have to destroy most of them while keeping one to give to Venus. Like they did for Master Splinter the last time this happened, knowing that things were going to find.

"Guys, I got the containment unit to reverse the extraction to give her blood back. I'll need to take one of the canisters to help Venus gain her strength again," Donnie explained, taking one of the canisters.

Leo and the others were fighting the Shredder while the brainy ack helped Venus get out of the containment.

"Donnie, whatever, just get her away from this place right now," ordered Leo striking a few blows to Shredder with no luck of creating a scratch.

Shredder growled, knocking the turtles away from him, knowing that this fight was pointless since he had everything back at headquarters.

"You're still too late, turtles since we have all that we need. I'll leave a distraction to prevent you from going after Sacks. Who is heading back to New York to start on working on the mutagen right now," Shredder smirked with a cocky tone, "This is the trap, and you fall for the bait."

He was throwing blinding powder at their eyes before creating the final blow at them before disappearing out of the lab, leaving them to pick up the pieces. The sounds of his laughter echoing throughout the lab corridors heading for the helicopter to run out of here for the city.

Once the reverse extraction was fully completed, Donnie was able to get Venus' unit open. The others were waking up from their blow of being taken down by the Shredder, knowing that they would have to go back to the city to finish the fight. Donnie got rid of the bonds on her wrists while carefully taking out the needles from her veins. Leo lifted her in his arms, noticing her eyes were glossy, knowing they had to take her back to the lair where Master Splinter could look after her. At the same time, his brothers and himself could finally put an end to Sacks and Shredder once and for all. Donnie had placed one of the canisters he could find with her blood, knowing that most of them were with Sacks and Shredder.

Before they even got there, Sacks had already taken most of the canisters, which would explain why they had Venus hold out for this long. To make them think that they were only getting ready for the process that was already almost finished. Mikey noticed Mimi struggling to get out of the cage. He grabbed it, knowing that until they got back to the lair, she would have to remain in there until they got back home. He did feed her, learning not to starve, putting lettuce leaves through the bars with Mimi starting to chomp down on them. Getting into the garbage truck that Donnie turned into the Battle Shell, thinking it would be better transportation than others.

Leo cared the unconscious Venus quickly into the Battle Shell, laying her down, covering her up with a blanket while Donnie was taking them back home. Once in the lair, the turtles were rushing Venus into the lab, her pulse slowly fading in and out. Worry clouded Leo's mind, making Donnie have his brothers go out of the lab to wait while he tended to her. Leo didn't want to leave though he needed to for his brother to make sure that she would wake up. Walking into the dojo, he started to train, which was something that would take his mind off of the situation right now. Mikey played his video games, focusing on it after taking Mimi out of her cage to walk around.

Of course, she had to bite him mostly for not taking her out of the cage and having to wait this long for them. Raph was in the main room striking the punching bag, knowing that it would take his mind off of the Shredder and Sacks since they were going to pay for what they did to Venus. After a few hours, Donnie walked out of the lab to let everyone know that Venus was wake now that everything would be fine. Leo, Mikey, Raph, and Splinter were relieved to hear that Venus would be alright because they were concerned for her.

"Venus just needs to get some rest right now, while I check up on though right now I'm going to try to figure out where Shredder's headquarters location," Donnie explained before heading back into the lab.

'It's good to know that she's going to be alright though her vision and what happened were similar, which begs the question of how she was planning to prepare for it if she didn't want to stay with them. Where would she have hidden?' Leo wondered if she had a plan of action that didn't involve staying with them.

Venus didn't want to close her eyes, afraid to have another vision again looking over at Donnie.

"Donatello, I want to know where Mimi is right now because the Shredder told me that he was going to use my blood to make a Mutant Hybrid Army," Venus explained in a worried tone.

Donnie looked over at Venus, shocked to hear this, then curious about why she wanted to know, though figured that it had something to do with how close she was to her friend.

"Well, last time I checked, she was out in the main room with Raph and Mikey. Why is there something else we should know," asked Donnie thinking that something else was up with this?

Venus didn't want to leave out something to the boys but knowing that Mimi was safe with them put her mind at ease.

Shaking her head, "No, I want to make sure that my friend is alright is all. After everything that took place today, I'm just glad we are alright."

Venus closed her eyes, starting to sleep, hoping it would be a peaceful sleep for once. Since being in this form, she's had nothing but terrible visions. Having this over part finally over, the only thing that would make this better is the Shredder, and Sacks defeated.
