It was October 6. 2023. The Shedder wasn't happy that things has gone sour for him. It was bad enough that he was taken over by Dark Specter back in August, but he lost his access to the Morphing Grid when the Morphing Grid was cleaned a month later. The Dragon Power coin is now useless to him. Now, he has only his sword to fight his enemies now, and they weren't easy to defeat.
"Give it up, Shedder. You're not as powerful as you were before Dark Specter took you over," said Ralph, who was fighting him with his weapon.
"I don't need a useless power coin. My training is good enough for me to defeat you, turtle," said Shedder. He was telling himself that to give his ego some boost.
"This will end in a stalemate. All our battles do," said Ralph. That turtle was right. Ever since he was freed of Dark Specter's control, the battle between those turtles and his Foot Clan has always end in a stalemate. He have this bad feeling that this battle will end in a stalemate as well. He saw his Foot Clan fought the other turtles as well as Casey Jones. The two teams were evenly matched, even if he won't admit out loud. This can't keep up. He know what he has to do, even if he didn't want to do it.
"Get out of here. We can't beat our enemies, this time," said Shedder. The Foot Clan heard the order and began to flee from the site of the battle. they ran as fast as they could. Some of them got caught and was sent to the police. Others were lucky enough to hide in the shadow and used it to escape. The worst part was that the Shedder managed to get away. So, Casey Jones and the turtles return to their hideouts. Like the other battle since the Darkest Hours has end, this one has ended in a statement.
Back in his headquarters, Shedder went into his own room and took off his helmet. He was tried from his battle with that turtle. He thought about that battle. He get the fact that he and the foot clan has to retreat. They have been doing that a lot lately. He didn't want to think. He was feeling tried and wanted to sleep. So he took off his armor, put on his PJ, and went to bed. Then, he fell asleep.
Then, the next day, he woke up to hear the news about the invasion of Israel by Hamas. As he listened to the radio, it mentioned the act of genocide done by Hamas on the Israelis. shedder couldn't believe that hamas would be stupid enough to do that. Didn't they know that the Israelis would punish them for doing that. He always thought that giving Gaza to the Arabs in the hope for peace was a stupid idea. Now the radio report about Hamas's invasion of southern Israeli has proven his point. He has to laugh. He knew that Israel has just entered the War On Terror. He doesn't care how it would end. He hoped that the Arabs would cause the Jews to flee from Israel. He knew that the Israelis would fight back, but he can always dream. The end, for now.
