Quease stepped back a little as Ashton hissed at him.
"My gosh, what are you?" he asked.
"What? You don't remember Chile? The little hybrid girl that got away? Just one of the people whose life you've messed up forever?" Ashton asked bitterly.
Dr. Quease looked at Ashton for a moment, then at the papers on the floor. "The Chuquicamata experiments." he said, then looked back at Ashton. "The first offspring." he said.
"Yeah, the firstborn freak. Look at what your experiments did to me!" shouted an enraged Ashton. "I can't live with people, other animals try to attack me because they don't understand me, I have no family . . ." Tears began to fall from her face, but she quickly wiped them away.
"You survived. Everyone thought you died, but you didn't." said Dr. Quease. "Fascinating."
"Yeah, for you! Not for me! I hate being this way!" shouted Ashton as she knocked down some glass beakers from a table.
Quease jumped, startled by Ashton's intense temper. He then saw a couple of dragons passing by. "Hey, you two. Get in here and close the door." he said.
The two dragons looked over and came in. They then noticed Ashton, and closed the door quickly.
Ashton's eyes narrowed and she growled as she looked at the dragons.
"Get her, I want her restrained immediately." ordered Quease.
"Oh no, I'm not gonna be your guinea pig ever again!" said Ashton as her nails extended.
Back at the Turtle lair, Donatello clicked away at his computer.
"She's still at the dragon fortress!" he said in surprise.
"What?! Why the heck is she there?" asked Mikey with his mouth full of chips.
"Beats me." said Donny.
Leo looked thoughtful. "Ya know, at one point she stopped running and was just looking into this room. I had to pull her so we could keep running." he said.
"Was it Dr. Quease's lab?" asked Donny.
"I don't know, why?" asked Leo.
"Because that's where she is." said Donny, pointing to the screen. He had a map of the dragon fortress up, and spotted the brown blip that he assigned Ashton. "Her blip is really moving, I think she's fighting."
"She is in trouble then, we must get her." said Venus.
"Ah man, we just left that place." complained Leo.
"But we gotta go get 'er." said Raph.
"I agree, she is in great danger. Go get her, immediately." said Splinter.
"You heard the Master, we're gonna kick some more dragon butt." said Raph as they all began leaving.
"Raphael?" said Splinter.
Raph stopped walking off with the others and turned to Splinter. "Yes Master?"
"You are getting away this time, but we will have our talk. Understand?" asked Splinter.
Raph sighed. "Yes Master." he mumbled.
"I can't hear you." said Splinter.
"Yes Master." said Raph, louder this time.
"Good. Now go, save Ashton." said Splinter.
Raph then turned around, climbed the ladder, and left the lair.
At the dragon fortress, Ashton had successfully taken down the two dragons, who were both beaten and bleeding. She breathed heavily from her battle, then turned to Quease with the anger still present in her eyes.
Dr. Quease stepped back towards the wall as Ashton came closer and closer to him. "Now now, don't do anything that you'll regret." he said.
"Oh don't worry, I won't." Ashton said, glaring at him.
Dr. Quease began sweating from fear. He then noticed a vial of green liquid near him and picked it up. He threw it at Ashton, and it fell onto her left hand.
"Ow!!" yelled Ashton as the liquid sizzled on her hand. She held it tightly and looked very pained. She then glared over at Dr. Quease. "You're gonna be sorry you did that."
Dr. Quease backed up against the wall.
Ashton let go of her pained hand, and shook it a bit to return the feeling. She came closer to Dr. Quease, and after stopping just a few feet in front of him, sprang at him to attack.
Just before she reached him, she was pulled back by somebody from behind. Ashton pushed the person away, and spun around. There she saw it was Leonardo.
"What are you doing?!" she hissed. "I almost had him!"
"Listen, I don't know why you're trying to kill Quease, but that's wrong." said Leo.
"But you don't understand! He's to blame for how I am! He's the scientist that destroyed my life before I was even born!" exclaimed Ashton, wavering between anger and deep sadness.
The Turtles looked surprised.
"Whoa, heh, I'd kill 'im too." said Raph.
"Raph, you're not helping." said Leo turning to Raph. Then he turned back to Ashton. "Come on, we're leaving."
"No! Not until I'm done with this jerk!" she exclaimed, then she turned around to get at Quease. But when she turned around, he was gone, and the door to the lab was partially open.
"He's gone! You distracted me and let him get away! I have to find him." said Ashton as she proceeded to the door.
Leo grabbed her. "No, we're going back to the lair."
Ashton struggled harshly. "No!"
"Some help here!" said Leo.
Mikey, Raph, and Venus came over and helped Leo restrain Ashton, who struggled vigorously. They then went over to the vent that they got in from.
"Come on Donny, let's go!" said Leo.
"Sure sure, I'm coming." said Donny. He then stopped looking at the equipment in the room, and was about to leave when he noticed a pile of papers, pictures, and a folder on the floor. "Hm." he said. Donny then read the title of the folder. "Chuquicamata, Chile?" he asked himself. He thought for a moment, and decided to take the papers with him. He began stuffing them and the pictures into the folder. He then heard dragons coming, picked up the rest of the loose papers and pictures, and left the lab through the vent.
"My gosh, what are you?" he asked.
"What? You don't remember Chile? The little hybrid girl that got away? Just one of the people whose life you've messed up forever?" Ashton asked bitterly.
