Okay, I've seen a lot of TMNT fics where someone gets turned into an animal, like (and this is just off the top of my head here) one where Leo turns into a cat (I can't say the name cause I'll get sued, but that story was good. If you have the time I highly recommend looking it up (Ferris Beuller paraphrasing, just got the DVD a while back, love it!), back on topic now.), so I decided to make one myself.

Raph: mutters Man I hate shameless plugs.

Dress

Raph: backs off

Mikey: At least now you have a bargaining chip over his head.

nods

So what's this about?

Well I was thinking that I'd turn you into an animal Rena, more specifically, a cat.

Wide eyes say what now?

Leo: You can't turn her into a cat!

Sure I can, I'm the author. I can decide who lives and who dies.

Raph: Disclaimer: She owns nothing. Got it!

Don: Enjoy!

The Cat's Meow

Chapter 1

Sarena wasn't sure how it happened. She was floating around in pitch blackness, scared as shell, couldn't feel her brothers, and she had no idea how she got there. Oh wait, now she remembered. She was going home from school…


Sarena leaped across the rooftops in a hurry. Something about today just gave her a monstrous yearning to be with her oldest brother. She didn't know what it was and frankly she couldn't care less. She'd jump at the chance to be with her brothers, being without them for the few hours she was at school made her ache. 'Almost there Sarena,' she thought. As she got to the closest intersection to the Lair she sensed a presence behind her. Before she could turn and attack a damp cloth was pressed to her face. 'Cloraphome.' She tried to fight it, but eventually the drug took its effect on her. As she blacked out she sent once last distress call through the link. 'Help Me!'

When she awoke her head hurt like shell. 'Dude, did anyone catch the license plate on that thing.' She groaned and her ears heard a familiar voice.

"Good she's awake. I wouldn't want our little guest to miss out on all the fun." It was Khan, she had been kidnapped by the Foot Clan.

'Some ninja I am,' she thought. As she struggled to open her eyes her surroundings came into view. It was a laboratory. That made her panic, if she was in a lab it could only mean one thing, dissection central. Once again she cursed herself for having mutated DNA that so closely resembled human DNA. 'Why couldn't I have been born a lizard or something?' She looked to her right and saw that Khan had his back to her. Looking down she was now strapped to a table. 'Yep, defiantly dissection.' She tried to call her brothers, but she found herself blocked.

"Start the experiment," he told one of the scientists as he left. At that moment a surge of electricity pounded through her body. It felt like she was ripping apart. She tried to scream, but found that she couldn't. The pain was too much and she felt herself slipping into back into unconsciousness. 'I'm sorry big brothers.'


That was the last thing she remembered before her current situation. Suddenly a light burst in front of her eyes. She opened them a fraction and saw Khan and one of the scientist talking.

"She still hasn't awoken Master Khan. I'm beginning to think the experiment was too much for her."

"She will awaken soon, if we know anything about Sarenaty it's that she has a very strong will that is not easily broken. Tell me is the effects permanent?"

"No , they're not even complete yet and they should only last…" That's when an alarm sounded. The two men raced out leaving Sarena alone. She opened her eyes completely and got a better view of her surroundings. She was a in a different room than the last one in a large plastic cage like the kind that you carry pets in. Why wasn't she dead. Didn't they dissect her? She looked down at her hands and instead saw two fluffy paws. Sarena let out a small yelp and went over to a water bowl in the corner in her reflection she saw a small black kitten with white tipped ears. She'd been turned into a cat.

'Why did they do this?' she wondered. Looking at herself she saw that she also had blue, red, purple, and orange paws (clock wise starting at her front left one), a green collar with a silver tag, which upon closer inspection turned out to be her pendent, green claws, what remained of her green figure nails, and her usual wide green eyes as well as green markings around them, from her mask. She now saw what the scientist had meant by not complete. She still had her turtle tail, the fur on the top of her head was still a little long, and there was still some white, green, and brown on her body from her school uniform and pads. She let out a small "shell no," and gasped at the fact that she could still talk.

'Well, there's no use sitting her and wait for those guys to come back,' she decided. Using her new claws she clawed at the lock on the door and soon heard a click. She pushed on the door and jumped to the floor. 'Man I'm good.' Seeing that her dagger had fallen to the ground in the commotion she picked it up with her mouth. No sense letting the Foot find out about its powers. At that moment the door flew open, it was her brothers.

"I thought he said Rena was in here," said Mikey.

"He probably lied to cover his own butt," said Raph angrily.

'No Raph,' she thought 'I'm right here.' Seeing Leo closest to her she went over to him, placed her dagger at his feet and said "Leo!" The guys looked around, but they didn't see their sister until Don looked down.

"Leo look." He pointed at her. Now all her brothers saw her.

"That's Rena's dagger," said Raph. He picked up by the scruff of her neck and brought her up the eye level. "Okay kitty cat where'd you find this?" Sarena then realized that she now looked completely like a cat and had to get them to figure her out quick before her speech left her.

She turned around to her eldest brother and said "Leaww," Shell, she couldn't talk anymore. She tried again desperately, looking at her brother saddest face she could, but only got the same result "Leaww."

"Maybe her name's Lea," said Mikey. "Can we keep her?"

"We don't have time Mikey. We've gotta find Rena," Raph said smacking Mikey across the head.

"Leaww." Her heart felt heavy. How could she get her brothers to recognize her at least a little bit? She suddenly had an idea. Sarena flipped out of Raph's grasp and jumped to Leo's shoulder. Before her brother could react she nuzzled the side of his neck and gently pawed at her tag.

"Guys look at her tag," he said. The others looked and were shocked to see it looked like Sarena's pendent. "Only Sarena's pendent has gems that can glow like that."

"You don't think Rena got turned into a cat?...do ya?" asked Raph.

"I don't know," Leo sighed. "But she's not here and we've searched everywhere else. We'll bring the cat back home, no sense letting the Foot hurt the poor thing."

"THAT poor thing? what about our poor thing Leo?! What about our sister?!" Raph asked harshly.

'Raph I'm right here. Why can't you guys sense me?' Sarena felt tears begin to well up in her eyes. Without warning they started to fall, hitting Leo shoulder with a splash. Feeling the tears from the distressed kitten Leo held her in the crook of his arm.

"For now this cat is our only lead," he said.

"Leo's right Raph, I can make a machine that can turn the cat's memories into a video for us to how she got Sarena's dagger. For now the kitten will have to come with us," said Don.

"Oh, so it's kind of like the transcendental thingymajig back in 2105?" asked Mikey.

"Uh, yeah. Kind of."

"Heh, I'm smart." Raph whacked Mikey upside the head.

"You three might not care for her, but..." Raph started as he headed for the door, but he was inturupted when Leo grabbed his arm roughly with his free hand to turn Raph towards him. The leader's eyes glowing with rage.

"DON'T YOU EVER QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT I CARE FOR HER!" Leo yelled. Sarena jumped back into his arm. His emotions were so strong that they had broken through the link. He was furious that Raph could ever question his care and love for his little sister and future fiance. She had never felt him this angry before. She gently nuzzled his arm trying to get him to calm down. His eyes were starting to glow a dim red, like hers did when she was mad, but not as much.

'Must be a side effect of when we shared a body,' she thought and made a mental note to asked Kimra about it if/when she ever turned back to normal. Since nuzzling wasn't helping she stood up on her hind legs and licked Leo's plastron right over his heart. Using the break in the link she tryed once more to connect with her brothers. 'Please, stop fighting.' She sent all of her fear, sadness, worry, and love for them with it. At that second Leo's eyes returned to normal.

"That was..." Mikey started.

"Sarena," finished Leo.

"She's alive," said Don.

'I'm here!' called Sarena and that was the last thing she could get through, along with a small bubble of happiness that they could hear her. They stared at her as she snuggled back into Leo's arm giving a small lick.

"Sarena?" asked Leo. She looked at him with tired eyes and nodded before curling into a ball and falling asleep.


Do I turn back to normal?

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on how well you know me.

Leo: Come on Aneras, getting rid of your OC is not your style.

Raph: HEY!

Mikey: changes subject Will Sarena turn back into a human? Will we realize it before something terrible happens? Will I finally get something to eat? and Will Aneras put Raph in a dress again winks For the answer to all these questions and more tune in next time for Total. Drama. Action!...just kidding It's just one of Aneras's fanfics
