   "RIPPER!" April screamed out desperately with tears in her eyes, as she was being held back by Casey and Raphael.

Making sure she won't accidentally jump after you.

The other three walked over to the big gap that was felt behind and poked their heads out to see nothing else, but the crowns of the trees further down.

"Umm...guys?" Mikey asked, breaking the silence. "Do you think they died?"

Donatello placed his goggles on his eyes and he smartly replied. "According to my calculations, there is a 98.4% chance that they didn't make it."

Hearing this information, April started sobbing uncontrollably.

"N-no! I... I need to s-see her! L-let gO OF ME!!"

She was desperately trying to get out of the two males grip. "I need to save her..."

Everyone, but Casey, was staring at her with a confused and concerned look on their face.

"...I guess we really should go and see the outcome of this..."

Leonardo let out a sigh. "You're right..."

Then he turned to face his brothers.
"Raph, grab April. Mikey, no playing around. And Casey..."

A pair of car keys were thrown at the said male and he caught them with ease.

"...come after us with that truck."

He nodded in response and took off running towards the exit.

The other four began climbing down the cliff. With April safe and secure in the red masked turtles hold.

Arriving at the bottom, the brunette was placed back on her feet, and all of them started searching.

*＊✿❀　❀✿＊*

   "Dudes!!"

The sound of the orange disguised turtle was heard between the trees as he called out to the others.

"What is it?!" a voice not far from him asked.

"I... I think I found the snake looking one."

And sure enough, there was No. 562 lying in the mud with a twisted neck and a pool of its own blood.

Arriving at the scene, nobody dared to get close to it.

In the end, Donnie was the one that had to do so and he confirmed, that it was long gone.

April looked around frantically to see where you could be.
Until she saw a shadowy outline of something massive resting on the ground not far away in the distance.

Her breath hitched as she hurriedly came closer.

Noticing it was you, she ran over to you and fell to her knees.
Not even giving a damn that it was muddy and bloody all around you.

Tears threatened to spill from her eyes as she looked you up and down.

She reached out to touch your wounded cheek.
And that's when she couldn't fight back the tears anymore.

Placing your face in her lap, she squeezed you and began to cry again.

The four mutants just now arrived at the heartbreaking scene.

Mikey was the first one to approach April and comfort her as best as he could at a time like this.

The three ninjas on the other hand?
Had no idea what they should do.
