"Come on, Don! Let's go get her!!" Raph encouraged.
"There's no way…"
"So yer just gonna give up?!" Raph challenged hotly.
"…I don't know anymore…"
Leo sighed, rubbing his temples.
"Don…are you REALLY thinking of abandoning her?"
"NO!!" Don answered immediately.
"Then try to get her back." Leo reasoned.
"But…this is too much…"
"'The path of true love never did run smooth'…" Leo quoted.
There was a moment of silent contemplation before Don nodded, standing up.
"You guys are right!"
He went into his lab, turning on his fastest computer, and set to work.
'I'll find you, Chris…I promise…'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris woke up with a headache that would put Zeus to shame, and groaned in pain. She moved her hand to rub the drowsiness from her eyes, but something held them.
She opened her eyes and found her wrists changed to the ground in a large dome-shaped room. Black kanji was written on the grey stone walls, a circle at the top a clear white, clear of kanji, a black circle on the ground adjacent to it on the ground.
'THIS doesn't look good…'
"It seems you're finally awake."
She looked towards the door that she hadn't noticed to her right, and glared.
"What's all this for?" She questioned, looking around again.
"This is where you'll unleash the full power of hell…"
'Oh no…'
He walked over, and she tensed warily.
"You don't the power you hold…you hold the balance of good and evil in your hands…and I'll make sure you tip the scale…"
'Like HELL I'll let you!!'
He smirked.
"You're at my mercy, princess…you can't stop the inevitably…"
He grabbed her right wrist, taking out a knife. She struggled, but he held her hand palm up, and brought the blade to her skin.
The cold metal on her palm frightened her to death, when she noticed the stone tablet being dropped behind Yamashita.
"It's the Tablet of Hell…"
'Shit!'
She lashed out with her legs, barely missing, and Yamashita took the opportunity. The surprise when she felt their lips touch was enough for him to quickly cut her palm and hold it against the rough stone tablet.
She winced, gritted her teeth as the stone bit at the fresh wound, which smeared blood. After a moment, it felt like her blood turned to fire, scorching her veins and making her cry out.
She didn't register that the door was broken down until a familiar voice called her name.
"CHRIS!!!"
She looked to her right, and joy nearly made her heart burst open.
"DON!!!"
A new pain in her palm made her wince, and she looked at it.
Claws were growing in, digging into the stone, fangs biting into her lower lip.
She already knew what was happening, but she couldn't break away from the stone, even when Yamashita released her wrist. It was like her palm was fused to it, and she couldn't rip it off.
The black circle on the floor glowed, bright red eyes peering out. She could tell what was causing it, but could only curse.
Dark thoughts filled her mind, fueling the fire in her right eye, but only one thought made her heart quake.
'I'll kill everyone!!'
She saw three turtles break off to keep the demons from escaping the small portal as the remaining one ran towards her.
'Don…Don, help…'
She felt the force holding her palm to the tablet loosen.
'Don…'
Her hand was almost free…when she saw Yamashita raise a sword over Don's head…
"DON!!!!"
She wrenched her hand loose, running as fast as her legs could go, and a slicing pain in her right eye made her cry out.
"CHRIS!!!"
She fell back, landing in Don's arms, holding a hand to her bleeding right eye. Blood seeped through her fingers, staining her skin as the portal closed, the demons blocked off.
"You could have ruled the world!!" Yamashita cursed, glaring at her.
"Maybe I don't want to…"
"You're a fool!!"
"No…you are…"
She sighed, looking at the blood on her hands.
"I wonder…"
She raised up her blood stained right hand, and the blood glowed as a white light from the white circle in the ceiling focused on it.
She thought she heard beating wings, and the white circle disappeared. Three angels flew down, powerful snowy wings looking massive.
"Mistress…" The largest, a white clad female, greeted, bowing.
'…Cool…'
"We are at your service…" One of the smaller ones added, both white clad males.
'…Awesome…'
The female held a large bow, the top bearing a shining blade, and a quiver of arrows that looked like they were made of pure light.
The other two held massive spears, light coming from the points.
Chris cleared her throat, and looked at Yamashita with an icy blue eye.
"Get him…"
The angels raised their weapons, about to obey her order, when Yamashita chuckled darkly.
"You can't kill a demon so easily…"
Shadows as black as pitch surrounded him, and he was gone.
'…Weird…'
But she smiled anyway, snuggling against the turtle holding her.
'But I don't care…as long as I'm with him…'
