Chapter 31

Wake Me Up

Sybil sobbed, as Raph and Leo laid Mar's body on the ground.

Leo checked the sea-turtle's pulse. Nothing.

He was dead.

Sybil sobbed," No! He can't be dead! HE CAN'T BE!!!!"

Eos frowned as she stepped forward," Daphne, come here."

"I didn't do it!" Daphne yelped, before Andromeda whacked her over the head," Shut up and do what she says!"

Eos looked her sister in the eye," Daphne, you can reverse your power. Just like you can stop someone's heart, you can also start it up again. You just need to try!"

Daphne squeaked," What?! How do you know?!"

Eos said quietly," I saw you do it once… but there's no time! You need to get his heart pumping again!"

Daphne looked at the turtle, and then back at Sybil.

"You can do it, Daphne!" Mikey blurted, his blue eyes earnest as he gave her a thumbs up.

Nerissa planned to interrogate Eos further… but later.

Right now, Daphne was trying to find courage for what she was about to do next. She knelt by Mars, and gingerly, she placed her hands over his chest. She tried to summon her power, tried to feel anger, righteous anger, at what had happened to him, but it wasn't enough…

How can you see into my eyes, like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb

Sybil's voice was trembling but strong, and Daphne felt her breath rush into her lungs as she heard the deep despair in the young girl's voice,


Without a soul
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

wake me up inside, wake me up inside
call my name and save me from the dark
bid my blood to run, before I come undone
save me from the nothing I've become

Daphne's eyes flashed bright, bright gold, and suddenly, a golden light glowed at her hands.


Now that I know what I'm without, you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life

Mars's body convulsed once, but he remained unbreathing. Daphne's eyes were like light as she tried again.

Sybil moved, to hold Mars' head in her lap, pouring out her soul,


Frozen inside without your touch, without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead

all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me

I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything

without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more

bring me to life

Mars gasped, as his eyes came open. He gasped, clutching his chest.

"Oh heaven!" he gasped," Where is the angel? She was singing here…"

Sybil choked back a half sob, half laugh. His eyes focused on her face and he begged, "Eve, please, tell me, what is your name?"

"Sybil. My name is Sybil V. Deluge."

Mars tried to sit up, but Eos calmly told him," Mars, you need to rest. You shouldn't get up so soon."

Sybil kept his head in her lap, smiling foolishly as she asked," I… I know you."

He smiled slightly," Would I sound too crazy to say that I know you, too?"

Daphne was trembling, as the glow in her hands vanished and her eyes returned to normal.

Mikey came forward and hugged her. She fell into his arms, sobbing," I did it! I did it!"

"I knew you could do it, babe!" Mikey told her fiercely, smiling as she hugged him tightly.

Nerissa turned to Eos, who blushed.

"I have a feeling that you have something to tell us, my sister."

Eos nodded softly," Not now. Later."

Nerissa agreed.

Right now there was too much cause for rejoicing.

Andromeda turned to Leo," So, what happened?"

Leo shrugged," Don had a few bombs in his magic bag. Nerissa set the bombs at the key points in the structure of the hide out, and he also located and deleted the mutation formula that Bishop had."

Donatello added," I located his back-up files too, and Leatherhead destroyed them."

Andromeda sighed," Man, you guys cut it close!"

"It's our job, babe- I mean, Andromeda." Raphael grinned.

She glared at him, before tackling him, her lips mashed to his as he fell over.

Daphne whooped," I knew it! Raphael and Andromeda sittin' in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"

Andromeda completely ignored her sister as she whispered to Raph," You have no idea how long I've been WANTING to do that!"

Raph grinned," Do I look like I'm complaining?"

She smirked as she kissed him again.

Nerissa looked over at Leo and chuckled," Well, well, looks like we got a happy ending on our hands."

"In so many more ways then one." Leo sighed as Nerissa hugged his arm.

You didn't honestly think i'd kill Mars, didja? i like him too much! Besides... Sybil woulda KILLED me!

Sybil:*hugging Mars* Damn right, AKA!

Again, i want to thank Falruza Black for the awesome idea! Dude, you rock!
