Despite the blast being strong enough to scramble even the sharpest of minds, the Shredder didn't seem phased at all by it. Instead, he walked purposely towards the monkey mutant until he was towering over him with a baleful glare.
Rockwell stopped his blast to stare up at the man with horror. "It didn't work?" he gasped, looking lost on how such a thing could happen. "But-but, it only doesn't work on those already insane!"

"And you!" she said again, turning toward Annabelle Lee. "You wished to have your beloved sister returned to you, an act of pure love! But now, you are a brutal thug, who cares not for the pain she causes."
"Yeah?" Annabelle Lee said. "So?"
"And as for you, you are..." Her voice trailed off.
Nikki cocked her head to one side.
"...uh..."
Arzt and Nie exchanged confused glances.
"...a very, very strange young lady," the witch finished at last.
"Hey!" A pleased grin split Nikki's features. "Thank you very much!"
