Your newly open eyes look around at everyone with wonder and amazement, yet with curiosity. You where at a lost on who these living beings where, last you remember was total darkness before you heard a voice, this voice started up your system to power up or awake. Once your visual windows emitted light followed by color and then sound, with smell and taste along with touch, you where online and ready. The start of life itself, and the first thing you see are four strange green looking things with different color masks, the guys back then before you knew what they where, followed the tall mammal looking man, dressed in a robe who was Master Splinter, your eyes moved towards the two who looked in a sense minus the skin color like you. April and Kirby, Kirby kept he's eyes affectionately he slowly approached you. Holding his hand out to you, pointing to himself with a warm smile. The man gets down on one knee to be at eye level with you.
Slowly you tilt your head to the side, April couldn't help but softly chuckle which brought your eyes towards her direction. Focusing on her smile the most, which mirrored Kirby's. Which you slowly began to mimic smiling back at them, with that you spoke. At first it came out in alien language until Kirby puts his hands up making you stop.
"No, not that...I'm Kirby O'Neil."he tells you.
"I am Kirby O'Neil."you repeat the same thing. Still smiling.
Kirby shakes his head again, which you do the same thing when you remember something his voice registered and you remember recognizing it. It then clicked, looking at the man with wide excited eyes.
"You!"you point right at him, the tip of your finger almost touching his nose."You are papa. Or Father."
Hearing those words made the man melt, he couldn't help but tear up happily from what you said. He nods his head slowly, and engulfs you in a warm hug."Good girl, May."he pats your back tenderly."Welcome."
Unsure what this gesture was, you follow it anyway and do the same thing was doing to you back and hug Kirby in the same manner, repeating what he said."Welcome, Papa."
That day, the very day you awoke or came online. That memory replayed over and over again in your mind, while the destruction of Earth played over and over again, one good thing played to be ruined by a bad event. It was hard, so hard life was to be lovely and beautiful from all the movies and television you had seen, nothing like this. But then again one could not stay in their little false reality forever, sure you knew about and understood there was both good and evil, but you didn't understand that some are to far beyond evil. There was always something to good to find, out of anything negative something you started to live by, that is until the destruction of Earth and what the those horrible three horned aliens did to you.
Never did you think evil could fully strip someone of their morals, never did you think evil could crush a soul so much and cause such damage beyond repair. To be at a drifting lost, unsure what to do. The feeling of something being ripped away and taken without a single warning, to be replaced with nothing but emptiness that could not at all be filled. And because of it, it left nothing but unbearable pain that ached every single second. No matter how much mourning one could do, or wishing or thinking of the good times. It just was not enough, that emptiness began to fill in with something different, something much heinous than anything else. Like an enchanting spell luring in a weary traveler to a forbidden road, it called out and the sweet scent that masked it corriding smell was to much to pass up. But one would need to have the willpower to resist such temptation, if their willpower was strong enough. But how could someone do that, when they have been broken too many times.
Your empty eyes stare at the beauty of space, it made you question how something that was purely dark and black have all these stars to light it up and make it seem so breath taking and peaceful. Even your tormented spirit had to admire it, it made you feel something. Something that hurt yet it wasn't a bad type of hurt, it felt good. Even after what happened to the Earth, to your home and life. The sudden thought of it, of all that was taken away no ripped away from you pained you beyond anything. Unlike the others who could at least shed their emotions, you where restricted from doing such something you began to resent even though your eyes reflected it, nothing came out. Closing your eyes, to mourn some more only for a flash of one of those Triceraton's scientist over you with a strange device, snapping your eyes open before the scene finished. Your body froze with fear, everything around you faded away. You could feel the probing, you could still feel the and hear the horrible haunting crackling of the electricity, that horrible buzzing sound, that drill sound and some other sound that haunted the very essence of your soul. That made you feel disgusted, you felt dirty which was weird because there was no dirt on you.
A cold feeling crawled over your skin that goosebumps would pop up if you could produce them, what was this skin crawling feeling that made you weary of even the slightest touch? What was this feeling that made you want to vomit? Made your head spin around and have an out of body experience, not like your astral self, it something else. The balance, the balance inside wavered, what peace could you find? Feeling lost and disconnected, feeling withdrawn and angry, feeling disgusted, afraid and edgy. The feeling of this pain that seem to kept growing, voices started to play in your head. Voices you never knew you had, they spoke things, that you never thought would cross your mind, their words where venomous, vengeful, hurt, sad, distraught, fearful and so much. It made you afraid to look at the others, because when you did, you saw nothing but a horrible image that made you want to scream. So you kept yourself isolated away from them, after almost causing harm to Casey. It seem best to just keep your distant, being around them made you uneasy. Mourning with made it even worse, isolation seem like the best thing.
Wishing so badly for Master Splinter to here, to hear his voice, his calming voice easing your lost soul. Bringing you back, hear his voice guide you through this all...this. He was your anchor, he kept you grounded all those sessions helped so much. Getting through the stages of death, to heal your soul to live again to be able to reconnect. To find peace, but how could you find it? He wasn't here, no one was here anymore. It scared you, down to your bones. How much you wanted to cry out in agony from the pain, if only...if only you could have done something. Should have done something, Master Splinter, Tenshin, Miwa, your father, everyone all because of those...
A pounding comes to the closed door, you scurry away from it scared on who it might be. Like a fearful kitten terrified, gasping holding your breath, your eyes stare at the door. The pounding soon turned into a gentle knock, something inside caused you become hostile towards whoever it was. You hiss lowly, your eyes glow threatening. The sound of air releasing slides the door open, when you see who steps in your eyes go back to normal and the hostility goes away replaced by downcast.
Hearing footsteps walk over to you, you feel them just barely touch you making you shiver and jerk away from them about to scream. But stop when you see who it was, April. She looks at you startle just a bit, but calms down. Her eyes held good news while her smile was of concern.
"Guess what?"she tells you.
Your eyes carefully watch her, but you keep yourself calm and try to muster up any bit of yourself to mask your whirling emotions inside. Forcing a broken smile on."What is it sister?"The words seem like a struggle to say. Even April could tell, she was unsure if she should talk with you about everything or tell you about the good news.
Feeling you needed something good to hear, she turns her smile into a more happier one for the both of you."We get a second chance. We can save everyone!"
This was a surprise for you, surely it had to be a lie. Your eyes search for any sort of a lie, not to find it so you search again, still there was nothing. Baffled by what she said, this had to be some sort of trick because logically it was impossible for this...second chance. You saw what you saw, what everyone saw the Earth being sucked away and destroyed, for it to return was nearly impossible. Seeing you trying to grasp and calculate what she said, April ushers you to look out the window, from her urging smile you do so. But with less enthusiasm, turning around to the window expecting to see nothing but empty space of nothing, instead to find to your surprise.
Earth.
Shocked beyond any sense of anything, rubbing your eyes to make sure it was no a mirage or your mind playing a trick on you. There in all its glory, no suction happening or destruction, Earth rotating just fine. April comes over to you, smiling.
Trying to formulate the right words, opening your mouth to close it once again only to open it. Just speechless, what was there to say? One thing was how did this happen? Turning to April wanting an explanation, giving her a demanding look ready to cry.
"How is this..."
"It was Professor Honeycutt."she tells you."He managed to take us back just six months before the Triceritons come with the weapon, and we have to stop them from getting all the pieces."
"W-weapon..."you say to yourself, realizing it was the black hole."Everyone...Papa, Master Splinter...their all...their all.."your words tremble just a bit, your sister nods her head assuring you all you thought was true. This was a good feeling, one that made you wish you could shed some sort of tears or anything. What seem hopeless, now didn't. This was consider a second chance."B-But...how..."
Not really following your question, April gives you a puzzled look. Until Honeycutt comes into answer your question."You can thank the Utroms, Bishop really. You're father."
Both April and you turn to the cyborg or android who stood at the door. He gives you a friendly wave along with what seem like a friendly smile. The others stood behind him.
"Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt."Honeycutt apologizes."As for your question, Bishop had sent for me to help you all. Yes, you do all get a second chance at this though only this chance really. So we have to be hasty to find all these pieces to prevent that horrible travesty upon the Earth."
"May,"April says to you, you turn and look at her. Still at a lost."We can get a second chance to save everyone, and Dad. Isn't that great?!"
"She's right."Honeycutt interjects."Oh this will be most delightful!"he exclaims, clapping his fingers together."Now then, I have a ship fly. Off to get those pieces."
He leaves and makes his way back to the center of the ship, commenting upon how proud Bishop would be of you. Something that made you shutter in irritation. You turn back to the Earth, longing to return back home and see everyone again. The yearning was deep, placing your hand on the glass trying to reach out towards the planet. A light of hope shone in your eyes, it was hard to tell because the sadness hide it well. But looking closer the others could see this news brought a bit of you back. If what Honeycutt said, is to be true and the planet, your family and loved ones could be saved from those...three horned aliens. You take what you could get, with that hope you hold onto it tightly refusing to let it go. This will be your new goal, the one thing that will keep you stable, the one thing that will be your light. This was all you needed and nothing else. Yes, that's right you would save everyone no matter what the cost. So lost in this hope, not realizing you had started to twist it into something else. But that didn't matter at all, just the thought of being able to see your father and Master Splinter again settled you. A peaceful smile comes to you face, hiding the twisted one you held inside.
April didn't take into account any other motive, all that mattered was she managed to get a smile from her sister. Get a sense of her young sister back. She smiles back at you.
"I'm glad it made you smile."she gets ready to rest her hand upon your shoulder, stopping when Honeycutt calls for everyone to return to the main brig.
Everyone makes their way to the brig, where Honeycutt was in the center, he informs everyone to hold onto to something. Seconds after he connects himself to ship, it surrounds him only showing his eyes and head almost encasing him. He sits still, and before anyone knew it he starts up the ship and it force of the take off was relevant to what he said on holding onto something. Mikey and Casey held onto eachother, leaving the rest to try and grab onto something. You weren't able to get hold of anything and suffered the consequences and slammed into one of the walls. The impact wasn't that bad, you manged to get up from it.
In just a few short seconds, the ship stops and drifts slowly in the wondrous of space. Everything outside the ship was just so breath taking and illuminating, so captivating. It was an awing sight to be held, the interstellar clouds, the asteroids that drifted, the stars, the balls of gas, the mystical nebula. Just everything, the vastness of such a scenery made you feel small yet at the same time it felt like something was calling out to you. You felt connected, then scared. It was this strange rush inside, of peace and chaos. It delighted you, something inside wanted to go out there melt away in those gentle clouds. Memorized by these feelings, Honeycutt was observing your behavior with great interest and delight. Smiling with his eyes. Seeing the wondrous timid look in you.
"If you could see her now, Bishop."he says gleefully. He gets ready to go over towards you when something hits the ship shaking it."Oh, dear."he pulls up the prints of the ship, noticing the damage. There was leak of H2."Oh, wonderful. Could you assist me on damage assessments my friends?"he asks everyone."I have plenty of spacesuits to wear."
Mikey gasp out of pure excitement."Spacesuits?!"
Honeycutt smiles and leads everyone to another room, a much larger room. Even you had to admit it was amazing from what you saw. Turning on the lights behind a light wall, up against the wall where the spacesuits and weapons. Pretty much everything, everyone needed even for Casey. Like kids in a candy store the others waste no time to ramage through everything. Picking out what they liked, getting equipped with the proper gear. This was all find and dandy, it was nice to see them in such high spirits, Leo was enjoying it the most out of everyone. This 'I can't believe this happening!' look plastered on his face, like a dream come true.
You stood next to Honeycutt, watching everyone for some reason you where not as enthusiastic like the rest. It was mainly because you didn't really know what to do, unsure and taken back by all of this. Sensing this, Honeycutt left your side for a minute coming back tapping you on the shoulder. You turn the robot, finding him holding out a rectangle box, a metallic silver one. It looked almost like a present, from the dark gray straps on it, that kept it shut. Honeycutt eyes smile at you.
"I do believe this will suit you well."he places the box in your hands, without your consent. Next thing he ushers you off to go change, yelling after you that it should fit just fine and he hopes you like the color.
At that time, April came out dressed in her new attire a full on yellow spacesuit with a space gun and holster. Her attire of course caught the eye of Casey and Donnie, who couldn't help but drool over and admire her appearance, which made her uncomfortable. Looking around she notices an extra body absent.
"Where's May?"
Honeycutt pops up behind her, scaring the teen."She's off changing."his tone was super delighted, which sent the wrong message to Raph.
The hothead grunts at the robot."Why are you so happy?"
Realizing this, Honeycutt apologies."My apologizes, I meant no harm by sudden enthusiasm. It's just well, as you are all aware. May, is Bishops creation before well the Kraang took hold of her."
"Yeah, we figured that out."Donnie tells him."May isn't very happy about that."
"That still explain why you're so giddy about her changing."Raph snaps at the robot, if not for Mikey to hold him back calming his brother.
"Well, there is a reason why. The outfit in which I gave to May was, made by Bishop."he squeals just a bit."Sorry, I just can't contain myself. The outfit was meant for May, as a gift from her father. So they could travel the cosmos together. But since he is not here, and when he called for my assistance he entrusted me with the care of her attire, also with her care."
The others look at eachother, a bit lost until Leo pieced it together before Donnie."So, you're like her guardian?"
Honeycutt nods his head."Precisely. In other terms one could say I am an uncle."he smiles with pride."May is Bishop's pride and joy, I shall honor his wish, I do hope thought the outfit fits properly?"He hears footsteps beginning to approach. He turns in the direction awaiting, the others look to waiting as the steps became closer and closer. With each step Honeycutt feet jump with anticipation.
"May!?"April calls to her sister down the hall."Are you ok?"
It was quiet, before you answered back."Yes..."
"Then why did you stop?"Donnie noticed you had stopped walking.
"Is something wrong with the outfit?"Honeycutt questions worried.
"...I am not sure."you respond back, the others noticed the meekness in your voice. You where nervous about something or insecure. April smiles and courses you to come out. After a few words of encouragement from her, you continue walking.
"Hey Raph."Casey elbows his friend, snickering."Five bucks says April's suit is better than May's."
Raph just rolls his eyes, at him. Casey kept snickering for it stop and his mouth almost hits the floor, surprised at what he saw once you stepped back into the room with everyone. All eyes where wide in disbelief at what they where seeing, expect Honeycutt who was delighted upon seeing you, Raph blinked a few times, his face turned redder than his mask he started sweating. His eyes kept looking at you, then elsewhere flustered fanning himself to cool off. Leo had to open his helmet to let out the steam that fogged it up.
Donnie points to you, with a shaky finger."T-That's..."he stammers over his words unable to finish them.
April was just as speechless for a bit, before saying something."...It's...wow...It's fitting."She smiles.
"I'll say."Leo mumbles.
From all their stares on you made you feel just a bit weary now about your spacesuit. If one could call it that, a magenta off shoulder leotard with cut out long angel sleeves, a diamond cutout outlined in metallic silver in the center exposing your navel just a bit, silver metallic almost chrome colored slim metal thigh high boots, your hair was redone in relaxed fishtail braid with your bangs out framing your face, and looking a bit closer on each wrist, wristbands the same color as your boots. But from how Honeycutt was praising it, commenting how lovely it looked on you, not at all aware of how the others reaction was to it, put you at ease just a bit.
Mikey gives you two thumbs up approving it."Aww nice!"
"I can't believe Bishop had that outfit for her."Casey says still in shock. Chuckling slightly, elbowing Raph."Guess you win."
Raph flusters even more, smirking at Casey.
"Well, then now that everyone is ready and equipped." Honeycutt gets everyone's attention."Do not stray to far from the ship. Seriously!"he points to his eyes."This is my stern face, set it."
Everyone gives the android a confused look, before Mikey discards his words."I call first!"he claims before rushing off, the others waste no time and follow him, knocking the poor Honeycutt down. You stayed behind to check upon the android, he sits up holding his head.
"Well, that was a bit unexpected."he tells himself, standing up all the way dusting himself off."Well, then shall we go?"
Following Honeycutt, he leads you to one of the airlock doors he gets ready to open it, when you decline going outside with the others.
"I wish to stay back."you tell him, turning walking away. Getting ready to exit the room, to be stopped by Honeycutt who quickly presses a button locking you inside the room and opening the door that led outside. It felt like a quick suction and next thing you knew it, you where out in space unaided with any breathing instrument like the others had, with their helmets. Prompting you to hold your breath, to where you started to become a bit light headed.
Feeling someone tap your shoulder, you find Honeycutt."Breathe."he courses you, chuckling a bit."You should want to do that."
You give him a confused and crazed look. He understood it, so he explained to it."You won't die."he tells you."There is small chance in which you will. Oh, what I mean is you are capable of going unaided in space for a good period of time. So it would be best for you to breath now. Or you might pass out. Oh there is just so much about you, you're going to learn!"
Feeling your lungs beginning to burn, you release your breath slowly which calmed your fired lungs and just like Honeycutt said, you where able to breath in a manner of speaking. You could withstand the atmosphere pretty well. It was amazing but also scared you, you flew right back inside the ship wanting to return back to ship, when April calls to you.
You stop and turn to her, she flies over to you like she was dancing. She was enjoying this so much laughing reaching you."I can see why you like to fly."she jokes. When she realized you didn't have on a helmet."Your helmet? Where is it?"
You try to say something but, you where unable to do. So Honeycutt comes over to inform her."Is it delightful. May here can adapt to breathing in space, for a short amount of time of course. Her lungs stop functioning for a bit, doesn't mean she will die unless well she stays out to long. Anyway, her body senses the sudden change, and adapts itself to her surroundings. A wonderful feature your father, Bishop put in you. Oh, what a smart Utrom, nothing but the best for his child."
"..."April watches your eyes and head drop in frustration. She quickly brings up a question."So she can't talk because of it?"
Honeycutt nods his head."Yes, you see something has to give in order for May's body to adapt. Understand?"
April seem to somewhat understand, she nods her head and turns back to her solemn sister. Honeycutt left the two to attend to the damage upon the ship. Slowly she reaches out to comfort you, stopping when Donnie alarms everyone about the incoming asteroids. You and April turn around to see the massive incoming space rocks heading straight for everyone. Quickly you push her out the way before one made impact. You fly behind it and aim your hand right at it shooting an energy blast straight at it. Blasting it into smaller pieces, though it only made it worse as the pieces flung everywhere else and with more larger ones coming it was impossible to actually dodge them juts barely. You managed to maneuver just fine out of harms way, though you couldn't say the same for Casey and Raph who where having trouble. Luckily though April and Mikey help them, as more came in. Everyone hurries back to the ship while you covered the back.
Seeing everyone made inside just fine, you follow behind. Inside Honeycutt yells everyone to get a station, they do Mikey with Raph, Leo with Donnie, Casey and April by themselves. Everyone ready and prep to go, Honeycutt took control of the flying, narrowing flying through the asteroids, it was a rocky and bumpy ride, everyone was in fear for their lives and tensed. Raph out of everyone was not taking it well. Seeing and sensing everyone's high rushing panic emotion, it scared you. Which turned into fury, your eyes glow. You had a mission to do, you had hope restored back. Not just in you but in everyone else a second chance and you would not let it be taken way. While everyone was focused on avoiding and coming out alive from the asteroids, they didn't notice you leaving. They where to focused on the two massive asteroids about to crush them. Everyone screams, Honeycutt pushes the space ship harder trying to make through the narrow opening that would get everyone out of the this mess.
"We're not going to make it!"Mikey screams. He grabs onto Raph, they both scream along with everyone else.
Expecting impact, instead to their surprise see something bright fly right pass them and headed straight for the two asteroids. Looking harder April realized who it was.
"MAY!"she gasp in surprise."MAY!"she screams, getting up out of her seat and rushes to the window screaming for her sister, stop dead in her tracks upon seeing her sister release a huge a energy blast she had never seen destroying the the rocks. The amount of energy she released blinded everyone for a second, before it went away. April opens her eyes to see not even a single pebble of the rocks but a clear passage through. She didn't know what to say or do, just shocked at it all. The power was amazing but it scared her, she turns back around to the others just as surprised and though unlike her she who began to worry about this, the others didn't seem to mind. Though she noticed Raph also was just as concerned.
"Well, that surely cut it close."Honeycutt speaks up, clapping his hands.
The door opens up, and all eyes turn to see you walking in. More so staggering in exhausted from that blast that you fall over."May!"everyone hops out of their seat and hurries over to you.
"Oh dear."Honeycutt hurries over to you. The gang gets down to your level seeing if you where alright.
"May, May say something."April calls to you, all you kept doing was heaving in and out heavily. Feeling someone about to touch you, you hold up a hand and began to push yourself up despite the lack of strength you had. Mikey offers to help you but you shoot him a threatening glare. Which scared him for a second, he does a double take at you seeing it was gone.
Pushing yourself up all the way. Using the wall to support yourself."I-I-I..."you stagger with your words, forcing yourself to stand up tall, putting on a brave front. You take a step with away from the others brushing them off, while smiling."I-I am...fin..."before you could even finish, you body gave out and next thing your whole body shuts down and you fall like tree down the ground.
"May!"April/Raph hurry over to you, luckily though Raph managed to catch you before you hit the floor again. He holds you, looking over you worried. Everyone could see your body was zapped of its energy, the agonizing look upon your face. You looked sick almost, you looked delirious, you looked sad.
"Oh...May."Raph lifts your forehead to his, a places a kiss on it. Something was wrong, because what you did clearly was almost suicidal and you seem not to regard it as such. His eyes soften upon you, wondering what was wrong. What was changing inside you. That question would have to wait, Honeycutt comes over to him.
"Why don't we put her to rest."he tells him.
Raph nods in agreement."Yeah, that's a good idea."He stands up holding you in his arms and follows the android to put you away.
"I hope May will be ok."Casey expresses.
"Me too."April whispers.
With you, Honeycutt had Raph put you down on the bed, he assures the turtle you would be fine. Just needed to recharge was all, trying to lighten it for him. Raph kept his eyes on you for a bit more and walked away thanking him. Honeycutt kept his smile eyes on, which turned to worried ones just as Raph turned the corner. He looks at you, noticing the dull complexion you had from what you did.
"This isn't good...Oh Bishop, what do I do? So much damage has been done."he ponders. With that he shuts the door on you.
