~ WARNING ~
This story is not appropriate for anyone under the age of 18 (21 in some locations). This story depicts extreme female muscularity, intense sexual situations, violence, explicit language, and smoking. If any of this offends you, then do not read any further. This story also depicts the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in a mature theme. The female character, Venus de Milo, is depicted in this story in a completely different (and highly sexual) way from her original depiction. If you don't like the idea of Venus and the TMNT in adult situations, then this story isn't for you. You have been warned. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy the story!

~ INTRODUCTION ~
It's up to Master Splinter now! Can he succeed where all others have failed? Or will Tatsuo realize his dark goals? Find out now!


Chapter XVIII: Tatsuo's Trump Card

Splinter, armed with his staff, braced for combat. Tatsuo seemed less than impressed.

"Please, you think you're any match for me? Or have you already gone senile, forgetting that I just killed I Chung's precious little turtle daughter?" Tatsuo taunted.

But Splinter did not waver in his expression. "Your attempts at rattling my cage are rather transparent. Come on!"

Tatsuo held up his fire sword and lit it up. "Gladly. And to show that I can be a nice guy, I'll end it quick!"

Tatsuo brought his sword down hard on the ninja master, but Splinter brought his staff up to block it. To Tatsuo's surprise, his sword didn't penetrate it.

"What the hell?!" Tatsuo yelled.

Splinter allowed himself a small grin. "Did you think it would be that easy? This staff isn't made of ordinary wood. It was a gift from I Chung himself. This staff is infused with mystical energy. It is impervious to fire and all other elements."

Tatsuo assumed an offensive stance. "No matter! You're just an old man! I can easily wear down your defenses!"

Tatsuo came in quickly and swung his fire sword really fast at Splinter, who showed speed that defied his age. He moved with such speed that it surprised even the turtles themselves, and they have seen their sensei in action before. Splinter quickly turned his defense into an offense and executed a dazzling display of strikes and kicks that took the Dragon Lord by surprise. Splinter bounded off one of the ruined walls and swung his staff downward to block a sword swing. He propelled himself into a front flip off of it, landed as Tatsuo went for a head shot, but immediately crouched down into a low duck, dodging the sword swing, and swinging his staff out at Tatsuo's legs before he finished his swing, and tripped him off his feet. Splinter leapt to his feet and swung down at Tatsuo, who blocked it. Tatsuo then managed to kick Splinter's staff out of his hands into the air and went for another sword swing. But Splinter instantly jumped straight up, caught his airborne staff, and swung it out as he flipped. Tatsuo blocked his swing, but Splinter used his shift in momentum to bring his legs down and land a thrust kick to Tatsuo's chest in midair, making him stagger a bit, landing in front of the shaken Dragon Lord.

Splinter twirled his staff and held it to his side as he held one of his hands out in front in a defensive stance. Tatsuo was clearly not happy with the way the fight was proceeding.

"You fight well for a decrepit old rat!" Tatsuo spat.

Splinter remained expressionless. "Even someone like you should know that appearances can be deceiving. Now, shall we continue?"

Tatsuo held up his sword, which had lost its fiery glow. "Don't get too confident. Quick as you are, you still made a poor choice of weapon to use against me. Those hits barely hurt; it's going to take a lot more than that!"

Splinter crouched a bit, a small eager smile creeping into his features. "Don't take me lightly. I'm just getting warmed up."

Splinter leapt forward and swung his staff as Tatsuo swung his sword. Splinter went into a flurry of swings with Tatsuo being forced into a defensive posture as their weapons clashed repeatedly and rapidly. Tatsuo came to the realization that he could no longer take anyone lightly anymore. Whatever had changed through the ages, one of them had become the fighting skills of his enemies. Even old guys like Splinter had demonstrated the capacity for speeds that were once reserved for fighters in their prime. Tatsuo had no choice but to fight at his maximum power from the start.

They fought furiously for several minutes until, after blocking a wide arc swing by Splinter, Tatsuo caught his staff and pulled him close to drive a fist into his midsection. This forced Splinter to release the staff as he doubled over in pain. Tatsuo swung Splinter's own staff at his head, knocking him to the ground, unconscious. After tossing the staff on Splinter's unconscious body, he took his sword and channeled his fire element through the blade.

"Troublesome pest. I'll end this nice and swift," Tatsuo said as he brought his sword up over his head.

But he was no fool. He began to swing, but spun around and redirected the blade upward, catching Leonardo's katana blade and knocking him back where he landed neatly on his feet.

"I had a feeling you couldn't just stand by and watch your precious sensei be killed by yours truly," Tatsuo said.

Leonardo was livid. "Spare me! It was a stretch enough to stand by and allow you to only fight Splinter one-on-one. But don't forget, we are here to avenge both I Chung and Venus. What you did was unforgivable!"

"You are a disgrace to the ninja world. You use your powers for your own selfish ends. You're not even above mistreating your own minions if it suits you!" Donatello added.

"It's totally lame that you would kill off the human race just to burn this planet down and rebuild it. Just what could you really hope to get out of such an arrangement?!" Michelangelo asked.

Tatsuo sheathed his sword and held his arms out to his sides. "I have no reason to explain myself to any of you! After I have spent so many years sealed away; first in a mirror, and then in the dream world! Oh yeah, to scorch this planet would hardly satisfy my revenge! I won't rest until all of you lie dead at my feet!"

"Then we'll see to it that you lay dead at our feet first you tyrannical asshole!" came a voice that made everyone turn to its source.

The turtles looked and were relieved to see Raphael holding Splinter in his arms.

"Raphael! You made it!" Michelangelo said excitedly.

Raphael couldn't help but smile a bit, "Good to see you too, bro. But the small talk will have to wait. I think it's time that we bring an end to Tatsuo once and for all!"

Leonardo looked a bit puzzled. "Wait a minute, where's Pachua?"

A female voice came from behind Tatsuo. "I'm right here."

Tatsuo turned only to see stars as a large powerful fist connected with his face, making him crash into the ground and skid for several yards.

Tatsuo staggered to his feet as he held a hand to his cheek. "You dare strike me!?"

There Pachua stood, looking insanely muscular and, for the first time, with a new purpose.

"Tatsuo, I quit." Pachua said simply.

Tatsuo was furious. "Oh you think you can just walk away from the Dragon Lords?"

Pachua leaned down a little as she flexed her whole body. Muscles exploded from her titanic frame as a new determination filled her eyes.

"As a matter of fact, I can. Raphael... has told me about the possibilities of this world. And it makes good sense to me. I can not allow you to destroy this world," Pachua said.

Tatsuo stuck his arms out to his sides again. "You don't have a choice, my dear! Your heart, mine, and the others; we're all the same! And it's all that is needed for this! You can try to deny your nature, but you can't deny me! I had hoped I wouldn't have to resort to using this. But none of you are leaving me much choice, are you?"

His arms began to glow with a new mystical energy. "Time to reveal my secret technique! KYUUIN!!"

Visible streams of mystical energy flowed from Tatsuo's arms and traveled in four different directions. One of those streams went straight for Pachua. She was unable to stop the stream as it connected with her. She suddenly winced in pain.

Raphael looked at her. "What's going on?! What's he doing!?"

Pachua seemed to be straining with all her might against it. "He's... absorbing... us! But I'm... not like them anymore! He has... no claim over me!!"

The other streams reached the unconscious forms of Zu, Sirrush, and even the dead body of Tiamat. Their bodies began to dissolve into the streams. Pachua's own body also began to dissipate.

"It's no use Pachua! Your heart is the same as mine! And so you cannot escape absorption!" Tatsuo yelled.

Pachua's thoughts turned to Raphael, and then the world as he described it. But then she remembered those she killed in Tatsuo's name. He was right, his absorption technique, kyuuin, allowed him to literally assimilate the bodies and powers of those who share his dark nature. Funny how she never once, until now, considered it similar to a dark god claiming the soul of one who followed him. But Tatsuo is no god! And she is no longer the same as him; not anymore!

"No! I have abandoned your ways Tatsuo!" Pachua cried as she concentrated as hard as she could on her thoughts and feelings. She knew that once absorbed, there was no coming back. This was a very powerful technique, but it is one that Tatsuo could use only one time. She wouldn't let herself be forced to serve Tatsuo in such a wicked manner!

The turtles watched in horror as the other streams returned and reintegrated into his body. Pachua's body had barely escaped being absorbed. She collapsed to the ground; badly weakened from the loss of energy, both physical and mystical.

Tatsuo reveled in the power that now surged through his body, "Yes! This new power is as incredible as I have always imagined! You may have managed to escape absorption Pachua, but I still got enough of your energy to effectively complete the technique! Now, all of you, witness the rebirth of the one true Dragon Lord!"

Tatsuo's body began to glow, and grow as he drifted up into the air. His muscles started bulging as they increased to an insane size and density. His appearance also started to change as he literally transformed before everyone's eyes. He now appeared more dragon-like now than humanoid. New muscle began to appear around his already muscular form, further adding to his increasingly larger size. At last, his transformation ended as his new body now stood four stories tall and his musculature looked like living armor! He landed with a loud crash as he slowly expanded his new wings, which were more streamlined than ever before. All of his battle injuries had vanished.

Tatsuo let out a fierce dragon roar as raw mystical energy filled his hands. "Time now for Armageddon! But first, to exterminate you ALL! Come you little worms!"
