A few hours have passed since I escaped Donatello's lab.
Donatello has been confused about how I got out, looking at the chains, wondering how I could have broken free.
Shifting is the answer.
We all now stand around his lab table-although I am standing away from the group, looking on from a distance. The others don't know I'm there. Casey is watching the TV with a few slices of pizza.
"As well as using samples I got from the dragon while it was unconscious," Donatello starts telling everyone something. "I also managed to hack into some of the Kraang files left behind when they disappeared from Earth. The dragon isn't working for them, but it was created by them."
I can't help but listen curiously. The last sentence has drawn me in-it sounds as if those files know a little something about how my dragon side came into existence.
Donatello continues speaking. "I'm not sure if the Kraang know about the dragon… but I'm going to run some tests on all of this. Hopefully it will tell us something."
We watch on as Donatello begins pouring some stuff into different pots, tubes and beakers. April helps. I don't know what's happening, like the others, so I sit down with my back to the wall beside the stairs leading into the lab. It doesn't allow me to see the happenings inside, but I'm fine with it.
I take out a kunai and, focusing my powers, begin to make it hover just above my palm. Smiling, I stand up, wanting to test my new psychic powers while the others are distracted.
I toss the kunai across the room, stretching my hand out and using my powers to catch it just before it hits the ground.
Still concentrating on the kunai, I use my new powers to pull it back to my hand.
"Well, I have some progress."
I pause as I hear Donatello's voice, waiting for him to continue.
"The dragon hasn't always been a dragon," Donatello announces. I raise my non-existent eyebrow. I haven't always been a dragon? Didn't think I'd confirm that. Ever.
I begin to focus on my powers again, using them to pull one of my katanas from my sheath and into my hand. I smile. This is actually pretty fun.
I start to make the sword spin around, moving around my body in the directions I push it in.
When I sheathe the sword, I look at my palm. I wonder if I can create some kind of forcefield with these powers. it turns out that I can-although it's a very bright one. I keep it small enough to fit in my palm, and look down at the bright force.
"Alright guys," Donatello's voice sounds again. I peer inside.
"The dragon is a mutant-although actually, the person who got mutated was already a mutant," he announces. I can see the others become even more curious. I glance at Casey, who doesn't know what's going on inside the lab.
"Can you figure out who it is?" Raphael asks.
"I should be able to," Donatello announces. My eyes widen.
No. No this can't be happening. Please… break, equipment, or something! Please!
I realise nothing is going wrong and start to creep towards my bedroom, hoping I'll be able to hide out there for a while.
It comes closer with every step. Casey is still watching TV, unaware of what's going on.
Just as I turn the corner, I can hear several gasps, 'WHAT!?'s, and also several murmurings of, 'This can't be!'
All this is cut short by two single words yelled by Raphael, loud enough to fill the whole lair.
"HAMATO LEONARDO!"
