Karai takes Ashley back to Shredder's lair, and he tells her to wake her up and relieve her from her knocked out state. Karai does so, and she slaps Ashley awake. Then, she rips the tape off that Ashley had on her mouth.

Ashley: *muffled yell after being slapped. Her when Karai rips the tape off of her* OW! For real?! You slapped me silly, you little---!

Karai: language, please! Your in front of a Ninja Master!

Ashley: *mumbles under her breath* ninja master my butt.

Shredder: *extends blade to her throat making Ashley gasp quickly* SILENCE! I will not tolerate this tomfoolery! *relieves blade from her throat* Tell me where Splinter and the turtles are and I will make your end swift.

Ashley: I won't talk, ya over-sized tin can!

Karai: No, father! Our plan is to lead them here! Let them come so we can beat them senseless, and then Splinter will have no choice but to come here and fight you like he was supposed to all those years ago.

Shredder: hm. Very well. Karai, take her to Baxter Stockman. We need to make the turtles pay, *he looks to Ashley* by using their best friend.

Karai: yes father.

* BACK AT ASHLEY'S HOUSE WHEN LEO IS INVESTIGATING THE SCENE *

Leo: what the---?

Leo looks to see a note on Ashley's mirror. He walks over to it and reads it.

Hey Leo. I knew you'd be the first to come. Ashley and I just need to sort things out....at Shredder's lair.

Karai~♡♡Love you Leo!♡♡

Leo: ew! Hate you, too, Karai! *takes note and goes back to the lair*

* BACK AT THE LAIR *

Leo: Guys! Chris!

Me: Leo?! What's up?

Raph: Is Ashley OK?

Leo: See for yourself *Leo hands Raph the note and everyone except Leo crowds Raph to read it. Even Master Splinter*

Everyone: *gasps*

Me: *takes off running but doesn't get far when Leo grabs her by her wrist and turns her around*

Leo: and where do you think you're going?

Me: OBVIOUSLY TO GET MY BEST FRIEND BACK SO WHY DON'T YOU LET ME GO?!?! *Chris glares daggers at Leo, whose grip has only tightened in holding her wrist*

Raph: Babe, look. We don't have a plan yet. You don't know what you're walking into.

Me: YES I DO! I'M WALKING INTO SHREDDER'S LAIR AND GETTING ASHLEY BACK!

Donnie: Chris, look at the note! It says that Karai and Ashley need to sort things out at Shredder's lair! Why do you think Karai would purposely give away the location of where she's taking Ashley?!?!

Me: *stops struggling after hearing what Donnie just said and after exhaustion from getting out of Leo's grip since he's stronger than her* to lure me there...*she snatches her hand away from Leo, leaving him and everyone else in complete shock* it's a trap!!!

Leo: yea, it is! And how'd you get out of my grip like that?

Me: like I said earlier, girls are strong. Deal with it.

Mikey: okay! What's the plan?

Leo: here's what we're gonna do..

* BACK TO SHREDDER'S LAIR *

Karai: Stockman! Here's the girl. *kicks her over to you* You know your orders. *walks out*

Stockman-fly: yezzzz, Karai. *turns to Ashley* mazzzter Shredder hazzz big planzzzz for you, Azzzzhley. *puts Ashley in a cage above a vat of mutagen*

Ashley: *when she comes to from being knocked out again* Aaaah! *looks at surroundings and sees Stockman.* Let me out, you bug-eyed creep!

Stockman ignores her and continues what he's doing. Scared, Ashley watches him, knowing whatever he's doing can't be good. 

Ashley: *sees him putting some kind of animal DNA in the mutagen* what the---*feels tapping on shoulder and whips head around only to head-butt Leo* ow!

Leo: ow! You've got a really big---

Ashley: *glares at him and raises an eyebrow at him*

Leo: *clears throat* anyway we're going to get you out of here*smiles warmly at you*

Ashley: *kisses him through cage which has big holes in it, but too small for her to crawl out of* thanks, Leo *returns smile*, but who's we?

Everyone comes out.

Chris: We

Ashley: Chris!!! *she whisper yells and opens arms gesturing for a hug and starts tearing up from happiness*

Leo: why couldn't I have gotten that reaction?

Raph: I know right!

Chris: *cries quietly while she runs into Ashley's arms* We're gonna getchyou outta here.

Shredder: No, you won't. Stockman, now!!!!!

Raph and Leo: No!!!!*they both jump through the air in slo-motion and have their arms open to catch their girl while Stockman releases the chain, causing Ashley and Chris to fall. The girls' arms are reached out for the boys to grab, but they miss and brush their fingertips together instead*

Leo: Ashley!!

Raph: Christina!!

SPLASH!!!

Ashley and Chris: *scream out painfully as the mutagen comes in contact with their bloodstream turning them into mutants*

Silence.

Raph and Leo: *look at each other in confusion*

WHOOSH!!!

Two animals jump straight out of the vat of mutagen, and land on their feet.

Leo: they're...
