This chapter is a little shorter than others, so I apologize for that. I do not own anything related to "Meet the Robinsons" or the "Ninja Turtles." Enjoy!
"Karena? Karena, wake up!"
I woke up to someone shaking me in my bed and calling my name. I was still trying to get used to the morning light when I saw a frantic Franny Robinson standing at my bed. I was confused, and I was wide awake at this point.
"Franny, what's wrong?"
"Wilbur's missing," Franny answered with worry. "And I found this note in his room this morning." I took the note, and I read it.
Don't bother following me, or the Robinson kid will suffer greatly.
I was full of shock after reading it.
"Did you call the police about this?" I asked.
"Yes, and they're looking all over the city for him," Franny replied.
"I think I know who took Wilbur, but I'll need proof. Let me get dressed and-"
"Oh wait, I do have a dress for you." Franny reached into her bag, and she got out a kelly-green dress with a bright green, wavy line from the chest to the bottom of the dress. "You'll also need these, and you can change the type of shoe depending on the texture of the ground. My husband invented these just now." She then got out kelly-green, two-inch heels, and she gave all of that to me.
After I got changed five minutes later, I followed Franny into the vortex, and we were in Wilbur's room. I looked around, and everything looked normal on the lower floor. The chargeball game was in place, and the chairs were in the correct spots. Then I thought of the bed.
"Hey Franny, is there a remote to get up to the higher floor?"
"I know he has a levitation ray somewhere in here," Franny replied and started looking for it. She reached the closet, and she pulled out some weird gun, which must've been the levitation ray. I got on to the circle, and Franny fired. I started to rise to the higher floor, and I found that Wilbur's bed was not made. But there was something disturbing about it; it smelled really weird. I walked over to the bed, and I found a strange liquid on the pillow. I wasn't sure what to think of it, or even what the liquid was.
"Hey Franny! Can you get Carl up here? I found something." In about five minutes, Carl peeked up to the higher floor with Franny behind him. I pointed to the pillow, and Carl confirmed that it was chloroform.
"It looks like the DNA residue belongs to a Carl Jackson," the robot replied.
"Carl Jackson?" I asked. "I have no idea who he is. Do you, Franny?"
"I've never heard of him," Franny responded. "But what could he want with Wilbur?" Just as she asked, I heard my name being called, but it didn't sound like any of the Robinson family. I got back onto the circle, and I was brought to the first floor. I walked over to the door, opened it, and I saw another familiar face from about two months ago.
"April? What are you doing here? Or should I say, how did you get here?"
"I used Donnie's invention to reach you," April O'Neil, Donatello's crush, replied, but she also sounded worried. "Speaking of which, Donnie and his brothers are missing."
"That's two in one day!" Carl exclaimed, then he realized there was another human in the area. I had totally forgotten April wasn't with me and the Turtles when we were transported to Meet the Robinsons. "Uh, who is that?"
"Two? What are you talking about?" April asked with a confused look.
"Carl, this is April O'Neil, a friend of the Turtles. April, this is Carl and Franny." I gestured to each person respectively, and they all shook hands. "To answer April's question, my boyfriend and Franny's son Wilbur Robinson was kidnapped earlier this morning. So what did you do, April?"
"Well, I was doing my usual Saturday run to the lair when I noticed it was really quiet. So I dared myself, and I went in. I found Splinter meditating. He told me that the Magician escaped and the Turtles went with him."
"But did you look for any clues?" Franny asked the girl.
"No, I tried to find the invention Donnie used to find Karena."
"Sounds like we have another mystery to solve," I said with a grim look on my face. "Come on, Carl. Let's jet."
"I think it would be better if I stayed here and kept an eye on things here," Carl replied, stepping back.
"Karena's right." Cornelius walked into the area with a frown on his face. "We're going to need all the help we can get."
"Alright April, we're ready." April activated Donnie's invention, opening the vortex, and all three of us got in. Before we knew it, we were in the Turtles' lair.
"This smells really bad," Carl said out loud.
"Welcome to the sewers, Carl," April replied.
"Did Donnie ever complete the cell?" I asked.
"He's been trying to find electricity that doesn't involve any of the major appliances or the Kraang," April answered.
"What's the Kraang?" Carl asked with uneasiness.
"Beings from another dimension. The Turtles have been fighting them for quite a while," I replied.
"They still have my dad," April responded.
"It is good to see you are well, Karena." Splinter entered the room, and we bowed in respect. "I wish I could say the same about my sons."
"And I, my boyfriend," I replied, and I went into Donatello's lab to look for clues. I could smell the same liquid that was in Wilbur's room in here, and I found it on Donnie's now-fried computer. I walked back to the dojo, where I met April, Carl, and Splinter in silence. I told them about the clue I found in the lab.
"There was knockout baking soda in Mikey's room," April said.
"I found strange chocolate crumbs in Raphael's room and strawberry seeds that smelled like the chloroform in Leonardo's room," Carl responded. "DNA residue belongs to Carl Jackson in both rooms."
"So the two kidnappings are related, but why?" April replied.
"If he is the Magician, he must've found a way to knock the Turtles out, bring them to his lair...I guess...and then knock out Wilbur in his world and do the same thing. But like April said, why?"
"Carl Jackson does not exist in my world," Carl said.
"I think he does in mine," I replied. "I've kind of heard of him because of his madness. I'll go back home and look up stuff about him. Where he's from and what he is doing may give us clues to this mystery."
"I'll go with you," April said. "Besides, I've always wanted to know what another world feels like."
"I'll go too," Carl responded.
"Good idea," I replied to Carl. "Besides, if Franny and Cornelius did find an apartment for me, you can help me move stuff from my place."
"I was actually talking about helping you do research, but I guess I'll do that too."
I laughed, and April turned on Donnie's invention. We got in the vortex to head for my apartment. It was still 7:30 in the morning here, and I decided to make a phone call while April and Carl got ready to search.
"Dad, I need you to help me research a certain person."
Not the most exciting thing in the world, but at least there's some action at the beginning of the story. R&R please and thank you!
