Chapter 10
Letting Go
Don, Marsha, Jake and Chance stood in front of the Master Computer, staring at the portal that had just appeared a few minutes ago. "Well, in a minute, we'll be out of your site, Princess," Chance smirked.
Marsha frowned and looked over at Donatello, who was still silent. "Donny, what's wrong?"
"Marsha, I think it's best if you go with them to their dimension for a while," he replied, keeping his gaze on the portal.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy. There's not one human in our world! She wouldn't even survive with the Feral hunting her down if he finds out!" Chance declared.
Don's eyes scanned the room and rested on an extra file of Ooze. Marsha stared at Don, a sickening feeling forming in the pit of her stomach. "Don, no…you can't…" She watched him fill a needle with the green liquid and she backed away when he walked towards her.
"I'm sorry, Marsha. I don't want Stockman getting his hands on you, this is for your own good." He took her arm and gently stuck the needle in it, slowly pushing down.
"Donny…" she let out a soft whimper as he let go. She studied his expression…were those tears in his eyes??
"Marsha, I love you, remember that," he whispered, giving her a passionate kiss.
"Donny, I don't wanna leave you…"
"You won't be leaving me completely. As soon as my brothers and I find a way out of this mess, I'll find a way to open the portal again and I'll come to get you, I promise," he replied. He turned to face Jake and Chance. "Please, take care of her, guys. The transformation should take place as soon as you cross the portal."
"Right. You take care of yourself, Donatello. Here…" Jake handed him a communicator. "Just give us a buzz before you decide to retrieve her, okay?"
"Sure…You guys better go…now! Someone's coming!"
Chance jumped through the portal. Jake held out his hand for Marsha. "Come on, this portal won't stay on for very long!!"
"Donny…" Marsha reached a hand out for his.
All Don could do was shake his head. "You're better off with Jake and Chance for now."
Jake shook his head. "Come on, we gotta go!"
Marsha closed her eyes and took Jake's hand.
Just as they jumped through the portal, Mike, Leo and Raph entered the room. "Donny!" They rushed over to Don's side.
"Don, what happened? Where's Marsha?" Leo asked.
"She's in the portal…crossing into another dimension called Mega Kat City. She'll be safer there…" Don replied in a monotone voice. He took out his bo staff and slammed it in the main computer. Sparks flew and in a few seconds, the portal was gone.
"Donny, you idiot! How are we supposed to go after her, now?!" Raph demanded.
"Shut-up, Raphael!" Mikey jumped at the harshness in his slightly older brother's voice. Never before had Don yelled at them before. "You don't know how hard this is for me. Did I want to let her go? No! But I had to!"
"Why?" Mikey spoke up.
"Because, if I didn't, Stockman would have been doing experiments on her and the other two Kats that were here with us!"
Leo stepped forward, placing his katanas back in their sheaths. "Kats?"
Don shook his head. "It's a long story. I'll tell you guys on the ride home, okay?"
"Right. Let's move out!"
"Ah, home sweet home," Chance smiled as he saw Jake and Marsha appear behind him.
"Heh. You can say that again, buddy."
The two of them turned and started walking out of the hangar and into the living room when Jake stopped and turned around. "Marsha?" he asked, in a gentle voice.
Marsha had now fully changed from a human to a Kat. She had light tan fur, and long, black hair that was pulled back into a ponytail. And, yes, she kept the same clothes she was wearing before.
She had her gaze on the floor. "He really did it…but why? I thought he loved me…"
Jake walked over to her side and placed a hand on her shoulders. "He does love you, Marsha…he's just protecting you."
"Yeah, you're right…" she looked up at him and gave him a small smile.
A slight blush formed across his cheeks as Jake returned the smile. "Come on, Chance and I will show you around the city."
