Chapter 7 Working on the cure
A short time later after the turtles and Master Splinter rescue their friend Mona Lisa from Shredder and his goons in Dimension X Donatello went back to work on the cure for Mona Lisa who was starting to hate being a mutant lizard more and more each day. Of course she would never show it in front of her friends but Master Splinter was able to tell that Mona was unhappy. "Ms. Lisa I know that you're unhappy with the way you look but you shouldn't let it take control of you" Splinter said to Mona. "I guess but I miss being human don't you?" asked Mona. "There are times when I did miss being Hamato Yoshi. But I've learned to accept myself and my new name Splinter" answered Splinter. "Why do the turtles call you that and not by your human name?" Mona curiously asked. "I'll show you" Splinter said as he took Mona to the Dojo, set up some planks of woods and chop them with his bare paws with no problems. "Well that answers my question" Mona stated as she smiled as she went to Donatello's Lab because she wanted to offer her help and see how far he was coming along. "Hi Donatello I was wondering if you needed any help?" offered Mona. "Sure I can use all the help I can get" answered Donatello as Mona joined the smart terrapin. While Mona and Donatello were working on the cure together she asked him, "What do you have so far?" Donatello answered, "I found a DNA sample from the same type of lizard that caused your mutation. However I'm having a hard time figuring what kind of chemicals besides mutagen caused you to mutate. Do you recall the chemicals?" "I believe so because I wrote down most of my notes, theories, and conclusions in my science notebook" replied Mona. "Do you still have your notebook?" Donatello asked. "You better believe I do. I will go get it. It's in my room in a draw" Mona answered as she went to her room and brought back the note book for Donatello to look at. "Wow Mona I must say these calculations are impressive" Donatello stated as he flipped through the pages. "Thank you. Ever since I first met you guys I've been trying to come up with the cure myself as you are aware of but at last I have come up empty handed because I think that I may be short on certain chemicals which is why done of cures ever worked on the counting of they blew up in my face in a puff of smoke" replied Mona.
"I believe your theory is correct about missing a few chemicals and I'm sorry to say I don't have all the chemicals myself but I do know where I can find them" said Donatello. "Where?" asked Mona. "In the lab of Doctor Barney Stockman. He is a scientist and the identical twin brother of one of our enemies Baxter Stockman who mutated into a fly which he blames us for but it was Shredder who did it not us" Donatello told Mona. "Is this Barney Stockman a friend of yours and your friends?" asked Mona. "Friend are you kidding me?! Barney Stockman is just as bad as his brother Baxter. He kidnapped me along with his partner Pinky McFingers because that crazy whack job wanted to experiment on me" Raphael said as he overheard Donatello and Mona's conversation. "That's awful Raphael. What became of Barney Stockman and Pinky McFingers?" asked Mona. "The both of them were arrested and thrown in jail but recently I heard on the news that Barney Stockman got released early and as for Pinky McFingers nobody knows where he is because he broke out of jail and went missing" answered Raphael. "Well you guys are ninjas maybe you can just sneak in and see if Barney Stockman is still using his old Lab and get what is needed" Mona suggested. "Why not and if that fool is there I can kick his butt for what he tried to do to me" Raphael exclaimed. Donatello told his other friends and Master Splinter the plan to get what was needed. "Ok turtles lets pay a visit to Barney Stockman's Lab and see if we can find what Donatello is looking for" Leonardo said as he and the rest of the turtles started to head out of the lair. "I'm coming too" declared Mona. "No it's not safe and you might get hurt" Raphael pointed out. "Thank you for your concern but I can take care of myself and ever since I moved in I picked up some of your ninjutsu moves" replied Mona. The turtles knew there was no way of changing Mona Lisa's mind and decided to let her come along. "Good luck my students and Ms. Lisa" Splinter said as everyone else left the lair and headed to Barney Stockman's Lab.
Author's Note: I know it's been two months since I last updated this story. Forgive me my fans. I want to continue writing this story. I had a major case of writer's block for Finding a Cure for Mona. If it wasn't for the fan who send me the message and is the same person who requested that I write a fanfiction based on the 1987 series of TMNT I don't know when I would have made an update. I'm going to do that more often now. Please stay tune for my next update. To Retro Mania I thank you for sending me a message and for inspiring me to write this story. Peace out from Princesspeach102!
