"I can't control his laptop!" April cried franitcally as she did everything she could to get Donnie's laptop back. "Someone's trying to hack it again!"

Mikey shivered. Maybe some lunatic had hacked Donnie's laptop and took him. They turned on his camera and tracked him.

But no. That's not what happened. And the laptop had a video that began to play. April paused it before it could play.

"Uh, guys, you might wanna come here!" She called out of the lab doors. As quickly as she yelled, the family filed in, Casey hobling in on his crutches.

"What did you find, April?" Leo asked.

"It's a video. I'm not sure of what, but someone sent it to us." She said as she pressed play.

They saw a room where Digital was attached to a lab table where her arms and ankles were restricted by clamps. Then appeared Shredder next to Digital, with a whip in hand.

"Hello, Hamato Yoshi. You can see now that here I have your precious granddaughter held captive. I can do what I wish with her. And I have been." He brings his whip down upon Digital's abdomen and several growls can be heard around the room of the lab.

"Anything you want to say to your worthless family?" Shredder asked in a growl.

The family watched with pained expressions as Digital painfully lifted her head to say what she wanted.
"P-Please, find me. He-He's m-m-m-mean to me, a-and he t-t-t-took me a-a-a-away from d-d-d-daddy." Digital sobbed.

The entire family gasped as Shredder held a blade to Digital's throat. "If you want Digital and Donatello back you shall come to my lair. Alone Hamato Yoshi! Only then will I release the two."

The family saw Digital's eyes widen, and they knew she was going to speak, though they all silently prayed that she didnt.

"Don't come grandpa! It's a trap! It's a tra-" She stopped. The family gasped and April brought a hand to her mouth, afraid she'd vomit. The Shredder scratched her throat. April didn't think it was deep enough to kill her, but deep enough to where it could cause severe vocal cord damage.

And then the video stopped.

It just stopped.

As fast as it had began it stopped.

"How dare he hurt her!" Mikey yelled as he began pacing the floor. "Now we know where Digital is."

April looked at him. "Not exactly." Everyone looked at her confused. "The place Digital is at doesn't look like any part of the Shredder's lair we've ever seen. In fact, it doesn't even look humanoid."

"And what does she mean that Shredder took her away from Donnie? If she's not at Shredder's does that mean Donnie is?" Casey suggested.

April typed a bit on the computer. "Maybe. It looks like I have control over the laptop again, though."

"But we know Shredder has her! That's enough reason to go after her!" Raph growled.

"But we don't where she is, Raph. The place she's at looks not even remotely humanoid." Leo added.

Mikey's head snapped up. "Could she be at a Kranng base?"

Leo's eyes widened. "That's not possible. We got rid of the Kranng years ago."

Mikey's eyes hardened slightly. "Well, do you have a better explanation?" Leo shut his mouth and Mikey nodded in satisfaction. "My point exactly. The Kranng have been known to relapse. Maybe they relapsed and we've been blind to it."

Raph nodded his head to the side. "I guess it's possible. It has happened before in the past. I don't see why it wouldn't happen again."

"So what are we going to do? Shredder has Donnie and Digital held captive and he wants Master Splinter. What are we going to do," Mikey asked as he looked to his father. "He wants you to go alone, Master. You can't go alone. He'll kill you if he defeats you."

"We're not letting that happen, Mike." Leo added.

"My sons," Splinter began as he sighed. "right now, I am more concerned for your brother and niece. I do not trust Shredder one bit. His honor is false and as soon as I am there, no matter what I sacrifice, he will not let them go. We must formulate a plan to infiltrate the Shredder's lair to find them."

Leo nodded. "And fast. We know how Digital is and looks, and by looking at her, I know we need to find her and fast. She has been tortured by gosh only knows what tools."

"So what's the plan, fearless?" Raph asked his only older brother.

Leo put on a serious face. "Here we go."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Karai sat in her cell. She sat in the silence, formulating a plan to get out of her cell so she could somehow alert the turtles of the seperation of their family. She looked at the empty cell next to her. Digital had been taken away from the Shredder's lair for five days now.

Karai knew that she was at a Kranng base. She had overheard her 'father' talking to one of the droids. She missed Digital's company. When she was strong enough and not as sore, Digital would ramble on with stories of her and her father and uncles. She told Karai about her aunt April and Uncle Casey and her grandpa, Splinter.

Something glistening in the light caught Karai's attention. She moved her head slightly to the left and almost rejoiced.

The keys!

They were so close! She was positive she could get them if she had something long enough to reach them! She quickly got to her feet and took a small lipstick like item out of her pocked. It looked very much like lipstick on the outside, but when she pressed a button the end that looked like a lid slowly slid outward, extending to a good six feet. She directed the stick to the keys and caught the keys from the ring that held all of the keys together. She slowly retracted the stick back to her bringing the keys into her position.

She smiled in triumph as she took the keys off of the stick. She walked to the door of her cell, looking around to make sure no one was watching first. When she was positive that no one was there she guided the keys to the outside of her cell door and directed them to the key hole. She placed the correct key into the lock and turned it, unlocking her door. She grinned triumphantly as she pushed the door open for the first time in almost eight years.

She stepped out of the cell and immediately went to the weaponry. She could feel the nestalgia hit her like a bullet being shot from a gun as soon as she entered the room. Most of her life happened in this room. Shredder always made sure that she could fend for herself as far as self defense.

"Daddy, daddy!" A six year old Karai had exclaimed.

"Yes, my daughter?" Shredder had asked her, looking down at her.

Karai looked at him excitedly. "When can I get my real swords, father?"

He smiled at her enthusiasm. "In time, my daughter. Once you become a bit better." How had she not seen that behind his smile hid darkness?

"What happened between you and my uncle? Why did he kill my mother?" Karai eventually asked.

Shredder growled at the question. "You shall never call him your uncle!" He yelled as he struck her with his hand. She cried out slightly in pain. She held her hand to her now reddening cheek. "He killed your mother and you dare speak of him with such praise?!" He asked, enraged.

Karai backed away slightly. "N-No, f-father. I-I don't speak of him in praise." She stuttered in utter fear. Her father had never gotten physical with her. Well, not until that day. From then on, Shredder got physical with Karai. Enough to call him abusive. That's why Karai's heart had turned dark. But not dark enough for no light to shine through.

She had never really, truly known the love of a father.

Only when she was sixteen did she have the brains to start questioning it.

She shook her head of the dreadful memory as she picked up her confiscated katanas and sheathed them. She walked stealthly to Baxter Stockman's lab, seeing Donnie being taken away and Baxter not too far behind. Must be taking them to his testing lab instead of his planning lab, Karai thought to herself.

Once everyone was gone from Baxter's lab she walked in stealthly before getting on his laptop and going to video chat. She saw that her father had hacked into Donatello's laptop and sent a video and even video chatted the turtles' resident genius. She clicked on Donatello's icon and the computer immediately began to try and connect with Donatello's laptop.

Almost as immediately as she had clicked his icon to contact the turtles the video chat was accepted.

April's face looked dumbfounded when she realized it was Karai on the other end of the line. "Karai?"

"No time to explain. Be quiet. I snuck out of my cell. Digital is at a Kranng base. Yes, the Kranng are back.
Donatello is a few rooms over being forced to make a retromutagen. The two were seperated. I was given the pleasure to speak to our niece. She's an angel. But the longer that she stays with the Kranng the more in danger her life is. I've heard Shredder talk about a catch when you guys arrive here so please be prepared." She warned.

"Ok, so Donnie is at Shredder's, but Digital is at a Kranng base?" Leo asked as he appeared on screen.

Karai nodded. "I believe the Kranng base isn't far from the Shredder's lair. I think it's hidden on Water street. You have to find her. I don't want to know what twisted catch Shredder has pla-"

"Karai?!" Shredder's voice bellows. Karai whirls around in fear as the guys on the other side of the screen have fear filled eyes. "How'd you get out?!"

Karai unsheathed her katanas, but they were almost immediately knocked from her hands. She looked at Shredder in shock. She cursed under her breath. She had been locked away for eight years. She hadn't fought in eight years. The Shredder easily kicked her away. He raised his hand, ready to hit her with his gauntlet.

"You are a traitor and shall be punished!"

He brought down his guantlet.

Static.

Shredder is evil! But so am I, considering I control what happens in this story! Muwahahahaha! But I left you all at a double cliff hanger. What happened to Karai? And what is this twisted catch that Shredder has planned? Let me know your ideas and opinions! Did you like it, love it, hate it? Let me know. Your opinion matters. :)
