A Ninja's tale

Meanwhile, in Shredder's Lair, Casey was chained to Shredder's throne. "Grrr." He growled, tugging at the restraints.

"I wouldn't do that is I were you, Mr Jones." Shredder warned as he stepped forward. He turned around and barked, "Tigerclaw! Take Mr Jones to the dungeon. He'll need to learn some manners if he wants to talk about April O'Neil, the location of Hamato Yoshi, his sons and his daughter."

Casey gasped. "Applejack?!" He muttered under his breath. If only he had his t-phone or cellphone on him. But he didn't, because the Shredder took them from him and destroyed them when he was first captured.

"As you wish, Master Shredder." Came Tigerclaw's reply as he tugged on the chains around Casey's wrists, dragging his sorry hide away to the dungeons downstairs.

Back at the Lair, Donnie was getting nowhere with tracking Casey. "I give up! There's no way I can track him if I don't know where he would've been taken, or if his t-phone or cellphone were destroyed!" He yelled, banging his head on his desk, near his keyboard.

Applejack walked in with Raph by her side. "Any luck?" She asked, while pointing to another chair and told Raph to sit down.

"Nothing! Not a single trace!" Donnie exclaimed, still pounding his head on the table top.

Applejack sighed. "Don't worry, Donnie-boy. We'll find him, then your rivalry over April can resume once again." She said.

"But who knows what either the Shredder or Kraang are gonna do with him!" Donnie replied, finally lifting his head and making eye contact with Applejack. "I really hope that whatever either of them want from Casey, that he doesn't speak about what he knows!"

"Ah hear ya, Don." Applejack replied. She turned to Raph and motioned for him to leave. "Oh, and Raph?"

"Yeah?" Raph asked, turning around to look towards his older sister.

"Ah'll tell Dad what y'all said and Ah'll make sure he grounds ya." Applejack replied with a frown.

"Fine." Raph replied before leaving the lab and heading to the couch.

Donnie hugged Applejack from behind, taking the older girl by surprise. "I'm so glad you're back, Jacqueline. I was starting to miss your wit around here."

"And Ah missed your petty comebacks, Donatello." Applejack replied. "But guess what I messed the most while living in Canterlot City?"

"Let me see... Mikey's pizza milkshakes? Leo's moaning over Space Heroes? Raph's firey temper, just like yours? Dad's quick mind and sharp reflexes? Or my gentle giant touch?" Donnie asked, grinning widely.

"All wrong, little brother. The thing I missed most... Was my real family. You, Leo, Mikey, Raph, Dad and April. Our spirit and quick reflexes in battle and our sharp minds which I know all of us can use to find Casey 'Puck-head' Jones!" Applejack replied.

"I hear you, big sis." Donnie smiled.
