Short chapter were Donny pieces everything together.

Dr. Stockman's lab was something to behold. Clean white walls and floors, high ceilings, giant machines that where hooked up to large power cords, tables with many different tools Donatello didn't recognize. He was impressed, but disappointed when he remembered why he was here. There was no escape in sight, except for the wide doors that were being guarded by the brute Hun.

They had been hovered over a machine that Dr. Stockman has been rewiring for the past hour.

"Hand over the wire cutters, I need to adjust this circuitry." Dr. Stockman held out his hands never removing his eyes from the circuit board. Donatello rolled his eyes, but handed him the tool.

Donatello was deep in thought, This is so strange, but if I wait it out with him, I can find out what this whole mess is about and maybe find a way out. Maybe I can risk asking, he doesn't seem sinister, a bit narcissistic (okay a lot narcissistic), but not evil. Hun on the other hand...Maybe I can use that to my advantage, just flatter him for information

"Dr. Stokman," Donatello asked in a voice low enough so Hun couldn't clearly hear, " how is it that such a brilliant scientist has to work with people like the Purple Dragons?"

"Haha! No it's not the Purple Dragons I'm working for, it's someone else of course you've figured that out by now!" Dr. Stockman said.

" Well, I guess so, but then who? Obviously someone more worthy of the great Dr. Stockman?"

"Ha, no ones worthy enough for the likes of my genius."

So he's only in on this, whatever this is, for the facilities provided by this mysterious employer. But who can it be, Bruce Wayne? Nah, Mikey would have laughed at that. But it is someone just as rich. Someone how runs this "Foot Clan" they were arguing about. A clan, those ninja Casey was fighting with? Did they kidnap me to get to him? This Foot Clan must be protecting the Purple Dragons. That's the only thing that makes sense given the information I have.

1. I was kidnapped probably because I was fighting to help my brothers, who where fighting to protect Casey, who is an enemy of the Purple Dragon,

2. These "ninja" where helping the Purple Dragons, so they are partners. So, these ninja, apparently "The Foot Clan" must have only kidnapped me to get to Casey.

Yes, that has to be it! This has to be about Casey. But all this trouble for the Purple Dragon's one antagonist? And that doesn't answer the question of these machines and gadgets. Just another operation by high level gangsters? Likely. And that women, that ninja that nearly beat Leo, she must be their leader, it certainly seems so. She must be rich, a female billionaire in New York... doesn't bring anyone to mind though. Maybe a foreigner?

Donatello thought he had at least figured out why he was kidnapped, he continued handing Dr. Stockman various power tools when asked for them, and looked over his shoulders at the complex system of wires in the giant machine. It looked like a weapon. Donatello didn't like the look of it at all.

"Alright, now I'll see if this worked." Dr. Stockman shut the lid on the machine and turned to a switchboard that was hooked up to it.

He flipped the switch and the lights overhead flickered and shut off.

" Blasted thing! Not again!"

The lights in the room flicked back on.

"Good the generator hasn't burned out."

Generator? Wait those blackouts from the past few weeks where the cause of Dr. Stockman? Then that means. On the news, that CEO, Oroku Saki, his company was blamed for most of these blackouts, if that's the case then he's the one helping the Purple Dragons...And this Foot Clan must be someone that he has hired.

Donatello had thought he put all the pieces together, but he still hadn't created a plan of escape. He knew he was stuck, at least for the moment. He thought of his brothers and father. He wondered if they were looking for him. He sighed as Dr. Stockman asked him yet again for another tool. Donatello sighed again.

At least I get to work alongside "The Great" Dr. Stockman.

"Hurry! We must continue on!"

Hooray for me.
