Chapter 2

Elizabeth POV

It had been an hour and we still hadn't seen the Prime Leader. Mozar's captain placed Emmet and me in a cell and opposite us were ten other people from Shannon's party. It was wet, cold and I knew we were all scared.

"Biddy! What is going on?!" I looked up. These people were staring at me. Expecting me to know all the answers. I may know who these aliens are but I had no idea what to expect now. I was sure when they knew about the scan that they would just leave.

"They are Triceratons, Aliens from another dimension" I replied flatly and looked away.

"Why did they take us? Who is this Fugitoid? What are they going to do? Where will they take us?" So many questions at once. I was confused enough now I have the responsibility of having to take care of all these people.

"Shut up" Emmet yelled. "We are caged up and we can't do anything right now. Let's just play along. Bid's is sure they will go along with this scan and leave. So be patient!" I thanked him with a hug and continued his speech. "These aliens want a robot with information about a teleportation device, they think he is here, but he isn't. They will leave soon. I promise." I wasn't sure about that, but I needed to keep these people calm.

It was coming up to 3.25am. They hadn't taken Emmets watch. But I could see my phone in a pile on the ground. I had gotten four texts. It was probably my mother wondering when we were coming home. I began to wonder if there were any emergency services outside trying to figure out what this Triceraton ship was. They wouldn't win. The Irish police were useless against normal criminals; they would be exterminated by an advanced alien species. The door opened several minutes later and two Triceraton guards walked straight over to my cell. "The Prime Leader will see you now Human" one of them said as they opened the gate. I nodded and stepped out and followed. Emmet watched me leave and mouthed 'I love you'.

"AH Human!" Prime Leader Zanramaon exclaimed as I entered the room. "Tell me, tell me, how is it you know about the Fugitoid?" I walked slowly up to the Triceraton leader. I could smell him from about four feet away. It was a mixture of salt and incense, and blood. He grabbed my hand and pulled me the rest of the distance towards him. "Prime Leader." I began. "My name is Elizabeth, and I believe you are wrong about the Fugitoid being on Earth. He is definitely gone. Not only is he not on Earth. He is not in this dimension." The Prime leader gave me a confused look. "This… This.. Dimension? What do you mean Human?"

"I can't explain. I just know I can prove to you that Professor Honeycutt is not here. Did Commander Mozar tell you about the positronic energy scan?" The Prime Leader grinned and turned his back to me. "Human, do you know anything about the might of the Triceraton republic?" His tone confused and frightened me. "I know you are a war-like race and very powerful"

"True, Human." He began to walk toward a monitor. "We are a great nation. Since I was a hatchling I have always dreamed of being a great and powerful ruler, and today I believe I can say I have become that ruler." He paused. "Mozar! Higher the aesthetic beams!" I stood beside the Prime Leader, confused I really had no idea what I should do, or if I was really safe. I suddenly realised we were standing in front of a window and its shutters were opening. I gasped at what I saw outside. We were in Space! It was Black and Enormous! The Prime Leader pointed out. "That is where we will find the Fugitoid!" I followed his finger. A pink and purple mist hung in the blackness of space. It was beautiful. "What is there?" I asked?

"That is the dimensional rift we passed through accidently, and if it wasn't for you, Human, we might not have realised for many days. Beautiful isn't it. Our technology allows us to absorb its energy and create a portal for individual use, a pod is being constructed as we speak" He grinned towards me and screamed "Guards! Take her back to the holding cell!" I was too stunned to respond. They weren't going to bring us back home? What was I going to tell everyone? I was dragged out the door and brought back to my cell. Emmet's face was relieved that I wasn't hurt but I could tell that the questions were going to begin again, and this time I didn't have the strength to pretend.

"What's happening" he whispered. I just shook my head and he knew. He put his arms around me and kissed my head. I could already hear the voices and screams from our cell mates. I explained what was happening. Many cried. I cried too.

Nothing had happened for hours except a slight tremor. I thought nothing of it. I hadn't noticed when we had taken off and where in the deepest part of space. I didn't trust myself anymore. More Time and more waiting then finally I heard the guards outside talking. There was laser fire and the door opened. It was dark. I was hoping it might be them. I knew they wouldn't ignore the Triceraton invasion. I wanted to see them, but I wanted to get everyone home too. "Hello?" I said. "Can you help us?" The lights switched on suddenly, blinding me for a few seconds. I adjusted, and was surprised. "Karai?!" she stood next to the cell door, her katana in hand and stared at me with caution. "Have we met?" In that second I decided to forget any ill feelings I had for this woman and asked her. "Could you open the cell door, we were captured and we need to get out. Please?" the others realised I was talking to another human and began to plead for their freedom too.

"No" she stated. My heart broke, and Emmet began to shout through the bars at this cold hearted woman. She turned and walked away picked up a piece of equipment and began to walk out the door. "I am here for the Shredder! Not to carry dead weight." And with that she was gone. I was at least ten minutes later before we heard another sound.

More guards came rushing to our cells and examined what had happened. "You! Human!" one of them pointed at me "The Prime Leader wants you again" I was escorted back to the throne room and placed before the Prime Leader. He was shaking with rage. "Did you fin…"

"No!" he interrupted me, throwing a large cup across the room. Behind me the room door opened again. I dared not look back. "Prime Leader we have captured one of the terrapin creatures, perhaps he will tell us where the Fugitoid is." My eyes widened as a figure was placed beside me on the steps. I recognised him straight away. "Excellent", the Prime Leader began "His companion has no further information for me." The turtle looked at me and frowned. "I don't know this gi.."

"Silence! You disgusting creature!" He boomed. "You will tell me only about Professor Honeycutt and his location on this planet."

"He is not on Earth" Donatello and I shouted at him simultaneously. "I told you to scan the planet" I was determined to be listen to. Donatello was watching me and mouthed "Scan?"

"We have no time for your games; you only wish to stall to save the Fugitoid from his fate. A Positronic scan will do no good." Donatello realised what I was talking about and began to convince the Prime Leader just as I remembered he had. I began to relax. I drifted from the conversation wondering if that portal had been built yet.

"Commander Mozar! We Triceratons assume nothing only victory!"

"Yes Prime Leader" he began the scan. I was back. Donatello stood beside me and smiled "Thanks for the save, I'm Donatello" I didn't want to explain myself again just yet so I replied simply and smiled. "I'm Elizabeth"

The door opened again behind us. Two Triceratons and the other three turtles arrived. "Prime Leader we captured the other terrapin creatures roaming around the halls looking for their brother should we place them in your personal torture chambers?"

The Prime Leader laughed "Excellent suggestion guard, make it so! Oh and take the Human she has an intolerant mouth"

"Yes, Prime Leader" the two guards bowed and once again I am shoved out the door. I turned and saw that the scan was 21% done. We walked silently down a corridor. Donatello broke the silence, "Great rescue guys!" When all of our bonds were released I almost expected it. "Monza Ram!" he exclaimed "okay, open mouth, insert foot!"

"Who's the girl?" Raphael asked. Everyone turned to look at me. "This is Elizabeth, she helped me with the Prime Leader." Donatello greeted me. But I wasn't really accepting this. All I could think about was Emmet and the others. "Thank you for saving me" I started "but I have people who need me and we need to get home they are being held in the cells down the hallway." I knew that the All Stars were planning their revolution and I needed to get to that portal before that started. The Turtles decided to help get my friends out first and I filled in some blanks of where we all came from.

When we reached the Cells, Emmet and the others were now all together in one area. As we were opening the cells. Everyone was staring at the turtles, realising exactly who they were, but none of them said anything. I was relieved. For reasons I had regarding our own dimension. An alarm was triggered when Donatello tried accessing the computer system and doors began closing like shutters.

"I've found it, the portal simulator you were looking for is this way" We all began to run. The Shutters were half way down. There was panic on everyone's face as we reached the door. The turtles held the shutters open as long as they could for everyone.

"Stop them!" We could hear the Prime Leader in the distance. It was pure panic. Emmets feet had gone under the door when Raphael's sai was knocked out of his hand by a laser bringing the door down with a crash. "No!" I crashed on the door. I could see Emmets face, but I couldn't hear him. The turtles began attacking the door in an attempt to break it. It wasn't working. I began to cry. "Emmet!" I pointed to the portal. He looked around and knew what I was asking him to do. The Turtles were now preoccupied by attacking Triceratons. "Go" I yelled.

"Guys! There are too many, we gotta get outta here!" I could hear Leonardo behind me. I was staring at Emmet. "Go, I love you" I said. He nodded, repeated the words and hesitantly and stepped up to the platform and was gone.

"We have to go Elizabeth" I was being pulled and I ran with them. They protected me for as long as they could. We came to a dead end. A science Lab. They readied there stances and prepared for the oncoming attack.

"Can you fight? Raphael turned to me.

"No" I blunted,

"Great" His word was silenced by Triceratons roars. "For the Republic!" I stood with the turtles but was terrified by the horde I saw before me.
