Okey Dokey time to break out the Kleenex things are about to get both scary and sad...A thing about this chapter, this is the Chapter where I introduce Shadow Jones yes THE Shadow from the Mirage Comics (And MNT Gaiden if you read that fancomic) So back at the First Chapter of The Mutant Riots I very clearly stated that Fast Forward and Back to the Sewer never happened in the AU so Cody Jones does not exist in this AU...Sorry if you're a fan but this is where I argued with myself for sometime...Turning the character of Gabrielle into a Wolf Mutant but then I remembered IN THE ORGINAL COMICS SHREDDER WASN'T AN UTROM AND KARAI WASN'T HIS ADOPTED DAUGHTER so...Knowing that that the Mirage Comics and the 2k3 Cartoon are similar but distict universe -As Turtles Forever clearly showed us- I feel that this changing of Gabrielle's Species and changing the Context Shadow comes into Casey's life would be fitting of the 2k3 Cartoon anyway...Let's get this over with

Later that night Marzipan and Ichabod were on the roof of the Waldorf-Astoria looking at the stars.

"Marzipan..." Ichabod said bashfully "...I just wanted to say...I love you."

"I know that Ichabod." Marzipan said

"No...Marzipan...You don't understand." Ichabod took Marzipan's paw-hand and placed it on his heart "You're so good to me Marzipan...You're the keeper of my heart...Marzipan...Before I met you...That November when it was clear the writing was on the wall the Fellowship was going to Alderbaren to liberate the Slaves of Castle Vortex and I was going to be asked if I would be the one who in filtrated the castle, at that point I was already 14 for whatever reason when you reach 14 the age if you're a Male Human you can join the military that means the Child Hunters can't touch you...You've crossed the finish line...So being caught to be a sacrifice wasn't what I had to fear, the fear was how do I liberate slaves from under Vortex's nose...Of course we didn't know that Vortex was an Android and an incredibly STUPID Android at that."

Ichabod sighed "Marzipan...The day before I was asked I was feeling...Restless...I felt for a moment like I didn't exist truly...As much I knew there would be grave danger if I agreed tobe the infiltrator...But...Something...Deep down inside of me...I would feel I would regret it forever if I didn't do this."

Ichabod looked up to the sky and saw Belladonna circling in the sky...Belladonna...So sweet and kind...And it really sucked for her that she couldn't share a room with Donatello as no one room could fit the entire length of her body...She was 20 Feet Tall standing on her hind legs that wasn't counting her tail length of an extra 10 feet which made the Dragoness 30 feet long!

"Sometimes...I look back to that day..." Ichabod said "...That day...Waiting in the Meadow for Matoaka to ask me the question of would I be the Volanteer...I had no idea I would find true love in Castle Vortex..." Ichabod stroked Marzipan's cheek fur "But I did think that I would finally be truly earning my keep after murdering that Lizard-Man...I had been with the Herd for a Month and a Half and I hadn't done much of anything other then eat their food and stay in Kong's chamber even after he returned from Alderbaren."

The Turtles had come to the roof at this point.

"Sometimes...It seems like there was a part of me knew that I would find my happiness in Castle Vortex." Ichabod said as he stroked Marzipan's cheek

"Before I met you..." Ichabod said as Marzipan said "...I got a crush of the Princess of a Federation Planet...Genevieve. Genivieve developed a crush on Bill and I tried to get the Lady's Attention by acting like a Southern Hick...I made a complete fool of myself."

"Oh man..." Mikey chuckled "You are SO going to tell us that story."

"How long have been there?" Ichabod asked

"Just a few moments." Said Don

What had happened to April, Casey, Splinter and Leatherhead? Well they left slightly later that same day, they stopped at the Farm House. And slept for a few hours.

Grateful the House was untouched in their absense they got in the car and headed for NYC at 7PM

When they reached Queens at 10PM a Being...Vaugely Shaped like a Woman tumbled onto the road causing Casey to screech to a halt

"Wait!" Splinter said as Casey had opened the door "That creature is not Human..." Splinter's nose twitched "...I can smell her...She is a Wolf."

"I wolf?" April knew that Normal Wolves are shy creatures that hardly ever attack Humans however this was a Mutant,libal to do anything.

That was when three other Mutant Canines came forth, these were not Wolves however, these were African Painted Dogs both beautiful with their patchwork coats and terrifing with their faces like halfway between a Dog and Hyena.

The Painted Dogs were...Attacking Wolf Mutant...They circled around her...Snapping while the She-Wolf huddled curled in a ball...That was when they heard...A Baby Crying.

"That's it!" Casey said "I ain't holdin' back!"

He got his hockey stick from the back seat and quickly ran forth and wacked two of the Painted Dogs with his Hockey Stick

"Hey you Freak Dogs!" Casey yelled the remaining Painted Dog tried to tear his face off but Casey quickly lashed the Painted Dog across the face with the Hockey Stick that sent all three of them running.

"Thank you." Came a weak voice from the She-Wolf

Casey turned and saw the She-Wolf looking up at him with bleary eyes she revealed under her arms wrapped in a blanket was a tiny...Human baby.

"Who are you?" Casey asked

"My name is Gabrelle." The She-Wolf said "I found this Human Cub...And hearing her cry...Snapped me out of the spell that was put on me...I...I regretted my actions...I...I realized Humans have children like we do...And they love their children...Like we do."

April heard this and came out of the car, Splinter and Leatherhead joined her

"Don't worry Gabrielle." April said "We'll get you somewhere safe."

"I am already done for." Gabrielle stood reaveling multiple wounds on her body "But I can die in peace..."

She handed the Baby to Casey "Take her..."Gabrielle said "...This child should have a family and a proper life better then anything I could give..."

Gabrielle clutched her chest and knelled over in pain, April, Casey, Splinter and Leatherhead and reached for her

"For what you have done." Splinter said "You should have a family and proper life as well."

Gabrielle didn't respond, tears streamed down her face

They brought her into the car, she lay down beside Splinter (Leatherhead was in the Trailer) In the Car they could see she had tan fur and the sight of her breasts...Six of them...Indicated that she had in fact whelped...Fairly recently by the looks of it.

"Gabrielle." Casey said "Hang in there...We're gonna save you."

The car quickly sped off
