When I saw that there was going to be a mind control serum involved in the season, I was thinking of different ways this could continue. This is what I came up with. Yes I'm a capril fan and hope they will be together and I'm a Casey fan but I really put thought into this.

Okay a backstory to this that ties into what we know is going to happen and what I hope to happen. This story will start in present, but then will go to a flashback of what recently happened.

PRESENT:

The turtles slowly drag their bodies into the lair lagging behind each step they took. The look of horror and defeat in their eyes couldn't even begin to explain how crushed they were. Raph was the last turtle to walk through the lair. Unlike his brother's expressions of shame and despair, his was one of pure rage. He growled in fury balling up his hands into fists as he walked. When he was inside the lair, he harshly kicked a piece of trash that was in front of him. He looked at his brother's eyes who looked at him in astonishment for the crash that piece of trash made broke their concentration. Leo, Donnie, and Mikey didn't know what to say to him.

"Was THAT part of your big plan oh great leader?!" Raph shouted stomping his foot.

"DON'T PUT THIS ON ME!" Leo shouted.

"IT WASN'T HIS FAULT RAPH!" Donnie replied.

"YEAH WE'RE ALL HURTING BRO!" Mikey shouted.

"Not like HE is!" Raph said referring to someone.

Leo was silent at those words and dropped his head looking at the ground as if trying to make sense of everything that happened.

FLASHBACK:

The turtles, Casey and April are inside Shredder's lair. Donnie had just successful disposed of most of every last bit of that mind control serum. But in reality there was still a small dosage left. As the heroes were being chased by Tigerclaw, Rahzar, Fishface, Bebop and Rocksteady followed by Shredder, they ran into a dead end. The mutant villains caught up to them and fought them off one by one.

"The serum! The last of it! Hand it over!" Tigerclaw demanded as he attacked Leo.

"Don't know what you're talking about!" He answered fighting back.

"You know very well what!"He said.

Bebop and Rocksteady were taking on Raph and Donnie, April was taking on Fish face, and Rahzar was taking on Mikey. When Leo didn't see any sign of Shredder he started to panic. When he couldn't find Casey, he REALLY panicked.

"Guys! Shredder! Where is he?!" Leo questioned as he fought Tiger Claw. They all had no clue.

"Time to meet your end turtle" said a familiar horrific voice.

From out of no where Shredder comes up behind Leo and grabs him in a chokehold unsheathing the blade in his arm. It is dangerously close to his skin.

"Return what's left of the serum, and perhaps your friends will live. You on the other hand will not be so fortunate. But being the hero you wish to be, you wouldn't hesitate to risk your life for there's." Shredder taunted tightening his hold and the blade getting closer. Time passes and Leo just stares at the blade sweating bullets.

"Hey SHRED HEAD looking for this?!" Said a familiar cocky voice. Everyone's eyes look up and see Casey Jones holding the serum in his gloved hand.

"YOU!" Shredder shouted.

Casey is standing on a ledge near an open window. His hand with the serum is hanging outside it.

Leo takes his chance as Shredder is distracted and breaks from his hold. He looks to Casey.

"Casey get rid of it now!" He shouts. Casey nods and is about to drop it.

"Dispose of the bottle, and I'll dispose of the girl!" Shredder shouts. Everyone's eyes bug out when they see Shredder holding April by her throat and lifting her up choking her. Donnie tries to jump in but Tiger Claw stops him. All the boys are haulted in their attempts to stop him.

Casey grimaces and growls in anger. He can't risk April's life, but he can't let Shredder use this on anyone else. He comes to a decision that even he can't believe.

"So if I don't drop this out the window, you'll let her go?" he asks balling his fists and refusing to look up.

"Drop that bottle at all and you can say your last goodbyes!" Shredder shouts.

A long pause occurs. Casey sighs in defeat. He brings his hand back into the room and closes the window. Shredder and his goons chuckle and smile. Shredder lowers April but still holds his grip on her.

"Good, now…give it to me." Shredder demands.

Casey's fists ball up tighter. He growls as he finally looks up and stares at Shredder with a furious glare.

"NOT A CHANCE!" Casey shouts before removing the cork from the bottle. Everyone looks on in horror as they see what he's about to do.

The turtles and April all shout. "NO!" "Casey don't do it!" "YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS!"

But in a flash Casey swallows the small bottle.

"NO! YOU FOOL!" Shredder shouts. Rahzar, Fishface, Bebop, Rocksteady and Tiger Claw look on in bewilderment at his actions. The turtles take this chance and use the smoke bombs. April has one as well and has enough power to throw it down. As the puff of smoke takes over the area, April and the turtles grab Casey and attempt to escape out the window. But Casey relents and demands that they go on without him. With the mind control serum in his system, it will take effect fast and he'll be of no use to them. Leo made the tough call and agreed as he ordered his team to leave. The smoke was disappearing, and time was running out. April shouted and refused to leave him, but Donnie held her back and they all left. Raph was the last one out giving a hard silent goodbye to his friend who was slowly losing his himself to the serum.

FLASHBACK ENDS

"HOW COULD YOU LEAVE HIM! WE COULD HAVE CARRIED HIM!" Raph shouted.

"No, the smoke was clearing and we had to go, we can't stop Shredder if he has all of us!" Leo shouted.

"So what is Casey not part of the team now?! He just risked his life for us and we LEFT HIM THERE!" Raph shouted.

"Why would he do that?" Mikey questions.

"Not sure" Donnie says.

"Because he knows he's no match for you guys." Says a female voice. The turtles all look around as they see April slowly appear. She looks completely heartbroken. Her arms are wrapped around herself as she sounds like she's holding back tears.

"To him, if Shredder had him under control, he'd be of no use to him. Because Casey knows he's not as strong as you guys. That's why he wanted you Raph. If Casey was on Shredder's side, he'd be no better off than what he was when he didn't have the serum. It's like he wasted the serum on himself so Shredder could never use it on any of you." April explains. She had known Casey long enough to figure out that that had to be his plan. Casey was self conscious about how he wasn't as strong as the turtles. He'd never admit it, but he was. He probably figured this would be a moment where him not being as strong was a good thing. But at what cost.

"But if that's what he was thinking, there's no way Shredder would…." Donnie didn't want to finish the sentence.

"Then Shredder might have eliminated him." Leo said. Everyone looked at him. "Either Shredder will use Casey as a weapon just so we won't fight him, or he'll destroy him on the spot out of rage for drinking the serum. Either way, Shredder is in control."

Raph is growling more to himself and pounds on the top of the tv with his fist. "HE'S AN IDIOT!"

"ALL HE DID WAS LOSE HIS MIND TO SHREDDER, OR JUST GOT HIMSELF KILLED!"Raph shouts.

"RAPHAEL!" said a voice. Splinter appears from the dojo. "No matter how grim the situation, we must have faith, if we were able free you from Shredder, than we can with Casey as well. He is a brave boy. Knowing Shredder, I don't feel he would kill him. No, there's no doubt in my mind that he will use him to his advantage. He will use him as a shield. We simply must find a way around it."

April starts to sniffle. "Casey" she whimpers. Splinter puts a reassuring hand on his shoulder. She looks up at him with sad blue eyes.

"Be strong April. We will get him back" Splinter says.

BACK IN SHREDDER'S LAIR

"Master Shredder, please allow us in doing the honor of disposing of the boy. Such a shame that a serum as strong as that had to be wasted on a street rat like him." Tigerclaw pleads bowing in front of Shredder. The rest of the mutant army bows behind him. Casey's body is in the middle laying face up. His body is still and his eyes are open but blank. Shredder is silent.

"No. The boy showed promise when he confronted me once before. Not nearly enough strength as the turtles, but showed just as much will power. It'd be a waste to destroy such a fine apprentice." Shredder says.

"STOCKMAN! HOW SOON COULD YOU CREATE A SERUM THAT WOULD ENHANCE STRENGTH!" Shredder demands.

"Tttttthat is mmmmmmere chiiiiild's play MMMMMaster Shredder. IIIIII could finishhhhh it in lesssssss than a ddddday" Stockman says. Shredder nods.

"Tigerclaw, take the boy to Stockman's lab and keep him secure. We will make a human weapon out of this piece of filth." Shredder announces. Tigerclaw looks shocked as Bebop and Rocksteady look at each other in confusion. Nevertheless, Tigerclaw nods and carries Casey to Stockman's lab.

OKAY SO I KNOW THIS LOOKS RUSHED BUT I REALLY WANTED TO PUT IT INTO WORDS. I HOPE IT CAME OUT good. PLEASE REVIEW. AND BASED ON REVIEWS I'LL CONTINUE
