~ This is the end, I hope you all enjoyed it :o)
Casey rushed into the lair, surprising the turtles. They looked up from the TV a bowl of popcorn between them.
"What's wrong Casey?" Raphael asked.
"April is gone!" Casey paced around looking for her. "She's not in her apartment, the newsroom is closed and I don't see her here. Yo! April!" Casey called.
"We haven't seen April since earlier today," Donatello said as Michelangelo switched off the TV.
"Let's split up to look for her," Leonardo points to Michelangelo. "You go to Shred-head's old hide out, Raphael go with him. Donatello I want you to go with me and see what leads we can find and Casey."
"Yeah?"
"Go bust some head's, only if there's info on April." The group separated planning on meeting back in two hours. Leonardo told Master Splinter what was going on while Raphael and Michelangelo headed east. Passing a grocery store two people burst out in song. The turtles spun around ducking into the shadows.
Person1: The order is in
It came in today
Person2:I thought it's be late
Now we don't have to wait.
Both P: The mushrooms are here!
Both turtles slinked away and looked at each other. "Man, we got to find out what's going on," Raphael said.
"Agreed, dude," Michelangelo nodded.
April lifted her head feeling very groggy. Looking around April found that she was wearing a low cut whit dress, sleeveless, slit's up both sides to her hips. The room was windowless with one locked door. April tried it, but it didn't budge.
"What the…" April walked away as she heard the lock click. Turning a man with green skin walked in, two small horns protruded from his forehead. April took a step back as he came closer. He started to sing in a voice similar to Frank Sinatra. He looked like a type of Devil to April.
Devil: What's the matter
Why are you stepping… away?
Don't you wanna play?
Pull up a chair and stay awhile
I'm come from the soul of dreaming
And I'm only here since you called me sweeting
So what do you think--
Let's take some time, to dance.
I'm the new dance step
The mashed…potato
When there's something you got to say
To scream and shout
Call my name, I'll be right there
I'll turn the confessions on, and bring some fun in
Now we can relax and watch it all go down.
"So you're a good guy, bringing fun in?" April asked hopefully. The devil guy just laughed.
Devil: Some just go on, with their song, too long.
Leaving their hearts out, can not be bared long.
Some just go collapsing
But my favorite are the one that go combusting.
But that's what happens, when some go on too long
I've come down here for you to this big town
And when we wipe it clean
You'll leave with me to my lands below
And become my queen
A: It won't work, can't you see
It wouldn't be real
Devil: I'll make it real
A: What I mean is I'm engaged
And can't brake my deal
Devil: I can bring him down to ruin
And still get a dance or two in
A: Well that's great but I have a date
And my friends will come for me
Devil: I'll bring this whole city crashing down
No living soul will be left around.
A: You'll have to face the Ninja Turtles
If you don't let me go.
"Turtles?" The devil asked stopping his dancing.
"Yeah, four of them," April nodded thinking now he'll let her go.
"Hmm," The devil guy thought for a moment. "I'll send them a personal invitation, see what fun we can have." April gasped.
Devil: Now we will party
Put on a show tonight.
Michelangelo stepped inside Shredder's old headquarters and looked around. At a first glance nothing was around. Footsteps caught their ears and Raphael spun around catching Shredder by the cloak he wore.
"I almost had you two," Shredder cursed. "This is your doing isn't it, making everyone sing?"
"No way dude," Michelangelo said. "We thought it was something you did." Shredder growled in frustration and shook loose of Raphael's hold.
"No, I can't stand it," Shredder gripped his fist. "What are you doing here?"
"Looking for April, you don't have her?" Raphael challenged. Shredder shook his head no.
Shred: You came
Around seventeen years ago
And I tried to end you
Because I wanted it so
Now that you're here
There's nothing I can do
April, the damsel in distress
Was always the perfect victim
I knew you'd always come for her
But escape you always did
No matter how many plans
You always stop
What I'm going to do
Right now you shouldn't be here
Because I can take full advantage
And could have played your fear
That'd only work if I had April O'Neil here
So leave, since I can't get ride of you
I just can't get rid of you,
You're the worst of pest
It's all a mess, and I can't clean it up
You're the scum that I detest
Plan after plan you foil
So all I can do is guess
And one day I shall win.
Today,
Was a plan do great
To lure you into a trap
And slice you up
And be long gone
But the foot all ran
With this singing on
How to get rid of you?
You all, and that Splinter too,
Probably could have been friends
And stayed with each other till the bitter end
But that was not in the cards we play
Well look at me, we have different ways
I can't get rid of you
I just can't get rid of you,
You're the worst of pest
It's all a mess, and I can't clean it up
You're the scum that I detest
Plan after plan you foil
So all I can do is guess
And one day I shall win
Just wait you'll see
One day I will win.
"Okay Shred-head now that we know how you feel, we're leaving," Michelangelo and Raphael backed up hoping he wouldn't start singing again.
"Wait, maybe this singing menace is what got April." Shredder suggested. "Can we work together just his once and then go back to being enemies?" The two turtles looked at each other.
"Just this once," Raphael said. "But if we take you down to the lair you will be blindfolded in and out, understand?" Shredder nodded and left the warehouse with the turtles. The two hours were up, so Michelangelo and Raphael blindfolded Shredder and headed back down to the lair. They were the last to walk in and found everyone else, except Casey seated on the couch. Leonardo and Donatello jumped up when they saw Shredder and Master Splinter had his walking stick nearby.
"What are you doing here?" Leonardo demanded until Raphael pushed him aside.
"Chill Leo, he's going to help us find April then we're back to being enemies." Still suspicious Leonardo kept a close eye on Shredder as he slowly sat down. Never being down in the turtles lair before he wasn't sure what to think.
"Did you find anything?" Donatello asked and paused as they heard Casey come in. He was holding one of the blue demon guys and propped him down.
"This guy has information on April," Casey said licking his lips. "So sing it man." The demon took a deep breath.
"My Master has the girl hostage at the docks and wants to take her to be his queen," The demon said. Casey shrugged.
"What does he want?" Master Splinter asked.
"The turtles," He pointed to the group. Getting the address, Casey escorted the creature back out.
"It seems that there are forces here that are supernatural of sort." Master Splinter said.
"But Master in the name of science that is strictly impossible," Donatello started.
"Not completely, what about Krang?" Shredder interrupted.
"Anyone ask you tin head?" Raphael challenged. Shouting rose as the turtles and Shredder started to fight. Master Splinter got up looking over the group for a minute before raising his voice.
"QUIET!" All stopped and looked at Master Splinter. Casey came running in to see what the yelling was about. "Casey, take Shredder outside and wait for us, we'll be up in a moment."
"Wait a minute," Shredder pulled his arm away from Casey. "You're not planning on attacking me?"
"No, for that way is no honor, Shredder," Master Splinter said. "We will resume being enemies in the morning. Agreed?" Shredder nodded and went out with Casey. Sitting his son's down Master Splinter looked at each of them.
"This is a serious mission, my sons," Master Splinter looked into each turtles eyes. "To fail we will loose someone precious to us all. So we must now all work together and remember, that no matter what happens, I love you."
S: Now my sons
The time has come
To face this enemy
And save our friend
And this time I'll
Be by your sides
Cause I
You know the path
And where to go
Be wise in your choice
And to get back home
I'll always be here waiting for you all
Cause I
I am here to support you
To keep your hearts
Close to me
My sons I love you dearly
You just have to see
Whenever you need some one
You can always look for me
Just look for me
You'll always be my sons
Here or in any land
No matter your choice
You're always in me
But it's time to go now
Bring our good friend home
Cause I
I am here to support you
To keep your hearts
Close to me
My sons I love you dearly
You just have to see
Whenever you need some one
You can always look for me
Just look for me
"Thank you Master Splinter," Leonardo said taking his hand. Master Splinter smiled and gestured them out following behind. Out side they looked around trying to decide which direction was the best way to go. Shredder insisted on going one way and Casey agreed with him on it. The turtles wanted to go another way, while Master Splinter waited for them to decide. Not being able to agree, they split up. Donatello went with Casey just in case and decided to meet up there.
April is waiting at the docks looking for anyway out. She found that the devil guy is actually named Zucco, and he kept trying to convince her that he would love her for all eternity. Sighing, April walked over and leaned on a box. She was outside of the first room, this had double doors to the outside.
A: I feel a fire burn inside of me
It consumes my very soul
But it's not real
This fire that I feel
Scorching me to dust
In the ashes I wither through
Trying to find the right answer
He can take the babe
And make it go away
I'm not sure what to do.
I still feel the burning fire
That burns me through and through
I still feel the burning fire
While it--
Shred: Those turtles aggravate me
Probably planned this whole thing out
They'll not get me,
Just you wait and see
First we have to help April out
D: We're not playing tricks on you
Will you ever learn that we always tell the truth?
Or do you just not care at all?
Shred: It's hard for me can't you see
C: Both of you just chill we're almost there
But if you fight go over there
Shred
C & D: We'll go through
Finish what we came to do
We will rescue April now
A: Too much to decide
It's not the baby's fault
Zucco: What is your choice?
A: My friends are coming
Just you wait and see
And they'll get me out of here
S: She's got many complications now
A: They'll be here soon
C: First I'll beat him then I'll save her
L: We're almost there, I see it now
A: I have made my decision
R: We'll race in and grab her first
D: We have to make the plan work
M: We all know what to do
A: These days, my friends
Will surely save
All: and not caught in the desire
To give up on it all
No going back right now
We will all go inside
And save April
Save April
We'll save, save April!
The doors crash open and the guys all step through. Casey the first to see April runs up to get her but is stopped by the guys with the blue face.
"What's the deal, let her go!" Casey shouted. Zucco just laughed and rested his face on his hands. He was sitting in a chair, with April next to him. Her eyes widened as she saw Shredder among the group but didn't say anything. The turtles walked in front of the group and stood their ground.
"Give her up," Leonardo threatened with his swords.
"And why should I do that?" Zucco asked.
"If you don't I'm going to bust your butt, that's why," Raphael said flipping his sai's around. At that moment April stood up and looked at her friends.
A: The time has come
To tell you some big news
I just don't know how to word it.
In my life
I go through the day
It's all automatic
No thinking really
I just go and go
Just try to do my part
And in this I gave my heart
To my love Casey
I don't want to loose you
So it comes
To take a breath
And say what's on my mind
Get it off my chest
Because you have to know
I just hope I have the strength to show
I love you much
And don't want to loose touch
C: April,
No matter what you say
I will never go away
Tell me what is on your mind
A: I am with child
The only problem I have
I don't know, if it's yours
Casey
I don't know if it's yours
Please understand it's not my fault
I never meant to hurt you so
Please don't go
Please don't go
Casey stood there armed with his hockey stick, frozen. He didn't know how to react. A part of him wanted to storm out of there but another part wanted to know…
"Why?" Casey voiced.
"Someone sneaked into the apartment, I thought it was you," April said. "I didn't realized until morning when talking to you that it was a stranger." Casey was breathing hard. His knuckles were turning white as he gripped the hockey stick so hard.
"What are you going to do with it?" Casey asked through clenched teeth.
"I'm keeping the baby."
"Not in my home," Zucco finally stood up joining the conversation and grabbed April's hand. "Come we must leave soon…"
"Why do you want her?" Shredder voiced out. Zucco plucked up a necklace that April was wearing.
"She wears my symbol, she's the one who summoned me," Zucco said.
"I didn't summon you," April said. Zucco a bit taken back looked around.
"Then who did?" Slowly one furry brown hand rose in the air.
"Master Splinter?" All chorused at once. He slowly nodded his head.
"I just wanted to make sure you had a happy future my sons," Master Splinter said. "Do I have to go in her place?" Zucco shook his head.
"I'll let it pass this once, deal?" Master Splinter nodded his head.
Z: But what entertainment
You've all brought to me
So I hope you see
This was all well
No more secrets that needs revealing
Say it's all good now
Say it again with feeling
Now I got to go
See you all
In time…
And Zucco and his demons vanished. Looking around at each other no one was sure what to do. Casey threw the hockey stick down and Shredder leaned against the wall, too aware of his promise.
R: What do we do right now
L&M
Join: What do we do right now
Splin: The battles done
I think we won
So we can go on to cheer
All: What do we do right now
Why does it seem a blur
When we can breathe easier
We know that we're all for each other
But we are separated so
What do we do right now.
We can hear trumpets cheer
Shredder stops seeing that he is dancing and singing with his enemies. "Forget this." And walks out. Casey see's this and decides that he's had enough and does the same. The group can still be heard singing in the background, Shredder is long gone.
"Casey?" He turns and sees April outside.
"Hey," Casey simply greets, hand behind his back.
"Where are you going?" April steps closer.
"I need to think," Casey said. "I just learned that my wife to be is pregnant and we don't know if the child is mine." April took a breath and licked her lips. "How could you do this to me?"
"I didn't mean to…"
"If you wanted to see other guys you could have told me but damn April, use protection or…"
"CASEY!" April shouted. "I was not ever seeing other guys. That night you left me home to get flowers, I think the guy at the bar followed us home." Casey's face relaxed a little and waited for April to continue. "When someone came right back in I assumed it was you, but then you actually came home, scaring him off."
"But not until after," Casey hinted.
"Right. Right after we," April took another breath. "In the morning I figured it out from how long you said it took to get the flowers for me. "I didn't want to ruin anything so I said nothing figuring it would pass. Then I found out I was pregnant."
"How far along are you?" Casey asked.
"I'm not sure, I have a note from my doctor," April fumbled around until she pulled it out and gave it to Casey. He read it then looked at April.
"This was a month ago, the guy was in your apartment, right?" Casey asked. April nodded. "Well you doctor says," Casey started in a stern voice then smiled. "That your two months pregnant!" April's face lit up hearing that. It confirmed that the baby's was Casey's. Running into his arms, they kissed holding each other.
Turtles and Splinter: What do we do right now!
The End
