"Come on Leo." Donnie said as he wiped the sweat from his head as he finished setting up a drip for Eclips. "How's the wire coming?" Donnie looked to Raph and Karai.

"Almost." Raph said as he carefully unwrapped the wire.

"I'm done but… Will this help at all?" Karai asked.

"Not if she doesn't get blood." Donnie sighed.

"Keep hope my son." Splinter said as he wiped Eclips's forehead.

"How can I sensei? Her wounds are infected, she has a fever and lacking blood." Donnie said sadly.

Splinter frowned and looked at Mikey who sat with his eyes firmly closed. "Eclips is strong she will fight." Splinter said giving Mikey's hand a light squeeze. "Michael-

"No I'm staying!" Mikey yelled. "I'm not scared, I'm going to stay with her." Mikey tried to hide his voice shaking.

"Ok…" Splinter nodded. Donnie started to apply a cream to Eclips' ankles.

"DONNIE!" Leo ran it to the lab. "I got someone!"

"R-really!?" Donnie smiled and hurried to Leo. "Where?"

"She's just out the door but…" Leo frowned. "Donnie its Eclips's Mother…"

"W-what?" Donnie stuttered as a Blond woman walked in.

"Leonardo told me- Oh my!" The woman cover her mouth with her hands. "Crystal… The woman rushed to Eclips' side. "Leonardo say she needs blood?" She looked at Donnie desperately.

"Yes." Donnie nodded frowning "O-"

"I'm O-." She said. "Please I want to help her."

"Ok, but it's going to take a lot." Donnie said as he picked up a needle.

"Take as much as you need. She's my daughter Turtle or not." She said as she sat down.

"Ok mis- um…"

"Free… Joanna, c-call me Joanna." She smiled.

Donnie smiled back. "Ok I've got everything sat up. Please tell me if at any point you feel faint." Donnie said as he wiped her arm before he set a drip into her arm.

"I will." Joanna nodded and looked around the room.

Karai frowned and walked out, Raph followed.

"Mikey." Leo knelt down to Mikey. "Can you go into the li-

"No Leo! I'm not leaving her!" Mikey shouted.

"I know but Eclips's little brother had to come with us. He's out side and kinda nervous." Leo explained. Mikey frown and crossed his arms. "Please Mikey, For Eclips."

"Fine." Mikey said getting up.

"Thank you." Leo smiled slightly.

"What happened to her?" Joanna asked as Donnie wrapped Eclips' ankle.

"I will tell you once all is done." Splinter said. "It's a long story."


"Its been hours since Donnie finished with the blood think." Raph sighed as he sat at the kitchen table.

"Yeah… Splinters still taking to Joanna and Mikey's completely worn out Zac." Leo said and looked to Mikey as he slept in his pizza. "And himself."

"Leo…" Raph looked down.

"She'll be ok." Leo put his arms over Raph.

"Y-yeah." Raph smiled slightly just before Donnie walked in. "Donnie!" Raph's eye's widened and he got up from his seat. "Is Ecl-

"She going to be out for a while. I don't know if she'll come through but I'm trying everything." Donnie said quickly as he took a slice of pizza and hurried away.

Raph frowned and sat down again.

Leo sighed and poked Mikey as he slept in the pizza. "What happened to Karai?"

"She went to Eclips's room before, I think she's in the lab now." Raph said.

"Right. Did you tell Casey and April not to come down?" Leo asked.

"I told Casey who insisted he come down but Donnie said not to tell April yet." Raph explained.

"Why would he say that?"

"Something about her not listening and coming anyway so it's better to just not tell her. Guess we just wait for her to come and give her the news then." Raph leaned back.

"Raph stop making it sound like Eclips won't make it!" Leo snapped.

Raph growled. "Leo look at her! Even if she does make it how long will it take her to get back up? You've seen her! She hates not being able to go topside. It could take her months to heal, she's not going to be able to walk or move from that desk! How long do you think she'll last before she gives up!? Her whole life has been crap!" Raph yelled at Leo.

"I-I know." Leo frowned and looked down. "I don't think she will get th-

"Shut up." Mikey said as he sat up. "Eclips will be fine! Stop thinking like she's going to Die! She not…" Mikey cover his eyes and begun crying.

Leo and Raph looked at each other them back to Mikey. "Mike… its no-

"I don't want to hear it! If you guy just give up then Eclips will too!" Mikey shouted and ran out of the kitchen.

"Hate to say it but…" Raph looked at Leo.

"His right." Leo sighed.


"I understand if you believe this is not an environment you want your child in." Splinter said as he sipped his tea.

"No… From what you have told me, Crystal is happy. I know she would leave if she didn't think that." Joanna sighed. "I just wish she could be with me… I had to let her go once and now I have to again. It seemed easer the first time I saw you." She looked at Splinter and saw the hurt in his eyes and suddenly realised what she had said. "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said anything with you losi-

"Its alright." Splinter smiled slightly. "We both know the pain of losing our Daughters but fortunately there are alive."

"Yes…" Joanna nodded and blinked away her tears.

"Sensei!" Mikey ran in crying and hurried to his father's side and hugged him.

"My son what's wrong?" Splinter asked as he patted his sons shell. Mikey didn't say anything he just hugged Mikey tighter. "I apologies." Splinter looked at Joanna.

"Don't be it's alright." Joanna smiled. "I think it may be best for me to head home."

"No." Splinter said as he wiped Mikey's tears. "Stay please. I'm sure Eclips wouldn't mind you staying in her room."

"E-Eclips? You mean Crystals pet turtle?" Joanna asked.

"Eclips is Crystal." Mikey said.

"W-what?" Joanna asked getting more confused.

"It is the name she remember when her memory was gone. The name stuck but I assure you she is your daughter." Splinter said. "And the invasion to stay is still there."

"Thank you but I have Zac an-

"He can stay in my room." Mikey said. "I'm going to stay with Donnie to night."

"It would mean a lot to Crystal if you were here." Splinter said.

Joanna sighed. "That sounds lovely." She smiled.
