Chapter 10 Turtles to the rescue

As Filch and Mindy prepared to reverse Mona's mutation Mona asked Mindy, "Do you think if your parents my legal guardians would approve of what you're doing to me if they were still alive?" Mindy only looked at Mona and didn't answer and just continued the preparation. "Excellent the test subject is ready" said Captain Filch. "Once the experiment is over things will finally fall into place." "I'm not a guinea pig for you to experiment on!" Mona stated as she glared at Filch who ignored and said to Mindy, "Get the scanner ready that way we'll know if Mona here is able to handle it." Mindy wondered what Filch meant by that and turned on the scanner while he stepped out of the room for a moment. Mindy turned on the scanner to get a reading of Mona's mutant DNA. While Mindy was scanning Mona she noticed a small dot causing the scanner to beep. Mindy took a good look and saw something small and wiggly inside of Mona. "OMG!" Mindy said to herself as she thought what was going on inside of Mona's body. When Filch came back he wanted to begin. Mindy wanted to say something about what the scanner detected but before Mindy could say anything the turtles burst through the doors. "Barney and Baxter Stockman where are the fuck are you and where is my wife?!" Screamed Raphael as he and other turtles ran into the room where Mona was still scrapped down. "Raphael!" cried Mona at the sight of her husband made her happy that he and the others found her. "Why did you guys find me and this place?!" "Easy there was a pamphlet lying on the floor of your cousin's apartment" answered Leonardo. "It's those turtles!" exclaimed Captain Filch who the turtles were surprised to see out I'm using their lab to finally finish what I started all those years ago that you blasted turtles and Mona Lisa stopped me from doing which is to take over the world with a mutant army while finding the rarest and most valuable treasures. Nothing will get in my way of my experiment of draining the mutagen that turned Mona into a lizard even if it well you know..." Captain Filch stated which made everyone gasped in horror including Mindy who then said, "Wait a minute. You told me that you were going to cure her and promised me that you wouldn't hurt her in anyway." "Did I say that? Must of slipped my mind my dear. What does it matter to you? I remember you telling me that you didn't like your cousin being a mutant and you would do anything for me since you're quite fond of me. You even put that sleeping herb I gave you in her hot chocolate" stated Filch with an evil smile.

Mindy couldn't believe what her own boyfriend just said. "We're stopping you and saving Mona!" The turtles shouted and Raphael was the first to charge head on. "Not if I have anything to say about it" Filch said as he pressed a button turning the machine on that had the wires connected to Mona's head. Mona began to scream in pain because the machine was hurting her. Mindy began to realize all of it was wrong. Not to mention Filch lying to her about curing Mona just so he can what he wants. "What have I done? Mona could die and it will be all my fault. I have to make things right" Mindy said as she ran towards Mona and ripped off the wires attached to her head stopping the machine completely. The turtles were shocked at Mindy's actions and so was Filch who asked, "Mindy what are you doing? Why did you do that?" "Because this is wrong! Mona is the only family I have left and I don't want her to die because you want to build your mutant army and do whatever you want. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if anything happened to Mona who's life is just fine including her decision to stay a mutant and to be married to another mutant who I can see loves and cares for her deeply" Mindy stated. Filch was becoming very angry at Mindy and before he could do anything about it Michelangelo hit him with his nun chucks while Leonardo and Donatello kicked him. As for Raphael he ran towards Mona and broke off the scraps that was holding Mona down. "Oh Mona are you ok? Are you seriously hurt?" Raphael asked Mona along with many other questions about what happened to her. "Physically I'm a bit sore and emotionally I'm unhappy that my own cousin who has been like a sister to me did this. My question is why do all of this and have a change of heart at the last minute?" Mona said as she turned around and looked at Mindy who broke down crying and said, "Mona I'm so sorry. I know what I did was wrong. I wasn't thinking straight. All I wanted was for you to be yourself and for us to be close again just like when we were kids. When Filch said that he didn't care that if this experiment killed you I had to stop him from causing you anymore harm since the scanner..." Before Mindy could say anything else Mona slapped Mindy across the face sending her down to the floor. "I am who I am whenever you like it or not" Mona said to Mindy angrily. Mindy placed her hand on her face where Mona hit her because it really hurt. Mona joined the fight and managed to destroy the machine that Filch and Mindy were going to use on her. "NO! You destroyed the machine I was going to use to make my army. I will destroy you all!" Filch screamed as he took out a remote control that had a self destruct button. "One push of this button will blow this place up with all of you in here!"

Filch pushed the button and the laboratory began to crumble. "We have to get out of here now!" shouted Raphael. Leonardo, Donatello and Michelangelo grabbed Filch before he tried escaping. As for Mindy she just sat there on the floor and didn't want to move. Mona had to grab Mindy and drag her outside before the place came down on their heads. While the others were tying Filch up. Mona said to Mindy, "You deserved the slap to the face and even though you stopped the machine from causing me any serious damage what you did to me was unforgivable and you need to get help for what happened." "I know and I'm truly and deeply sorry for my actions. Before Filch said what he was going to do when you said if my parents were still alive would hate what I was doing it made me realize how right you are. Mom and dad would be crushed that I would do this to a member of our family. That's when I wanted to stop everything and let you continue being happy with your life as a mutant who found love and happiness with another mutant" stated Mindy. The police came right away and arrested both Mindy and Filch. In the police car Mindy said to Filch, "It's over between us!" As the police took Filch and Mindy away Raphael held on to Mona with all of his might. "I thought I was going to lose you. Thank god you're ok" Raphael. "Thank you Raphael and all of you for rescuing me. I hope Mindy gets help because she needs it. Let's go home" said Mona as she and the turtles got into the turtle van and drove home. On the way home Mona wondered what was Mindy talking about when she detected something in the scanner. She put that thought aside and just wanted to be with her family who love and care about her.
