Chapter two:
But, Splinter glanced at both of his children with concern, why are you making me choose? Why not destroy us all, or just me for that matter? I'm the one you want.
I could kill you, Shredder grabbed Splinter by the neck and pulled him close to his disfigured face. But I've come to realize that I'd be more satisfying to watch you suffer. And what better way to make you suffer and feel true pain and loss than by forcing you to kill one of your own?
Splinters glare did not falter. I will not choose, Seki, he growled.
If you do not, Shredder threw Splinter to the ground and walked towards Michaelangelo and Karai, then I will kill you both, and your other son's will die next. He pointed both of his blades at Michaelego and Karai's necks. And only you will remain alive, he glared back at Splinter with his blue eyes. Do you really wish to live in loneliness, Yoshi?
Splinter was speechless. He could never choose which one of his children would die. He was tempted to just let Saki kill them all and spare himself the pain of being forced to choose. But he didn't want to lose all of his babies. To live all alone with the regret of not being able to save at least one of them would be unbearable. Either way, he was going to have to make a difficult decision and live with it for the rest of his life.
