Chapter 36

Final Answer

Mars sank into the base once again, landing on the floor, he paused, becoming completely transparent, but he knew,without a doubt, that Bishop knew he was there.

Mars snarled slightly under his breath. He was tired of this. Sick of being hunted, and lready, he was tired of his friends and his beloved being threatened.

As he walked, he suddenly heard Bishop's voice," Welcome, Mars. I'm so glad you could make it."

Mars was unnerved, but kept his silence. His nostrils flared, and he quietly began to run, as hard as he could.

Mara held Sybil, as Sybli cried quietly.

It had been almost an hour since Mars had left them.

Sybil wept," I… I can't talk to him! He's… he's blocking me out!" she sobbed.

Andromeda was pacing angrily," How the hell did he get in and out so fast? and furthermore, the hell does that motherf-"

"Andro, chill out!" Nerissa hissed," Eos, do you have any ideas… hmm?"

Eos looked over her shoulder and gave a sigh," Yes… in fact, i do. I think… i think the same base that created mars is the base that captured and mutated us. They knew that the abilities worked… they just didn't want to make one or more of us more powerful then they could handle. And since our memories were repressed, it made it that much easier for them to control us… till you and Andromeda threw that tantrum." Eos added with a slight smile.

Andromeda remembered that day and then snapped," But, why didn't he tell us about the stuff he could do?"

Eos shrugged," It's his past… let's not get nosy."

All at once, Mars phased through the wall, landing with a thud on his hands and knees, gasping for breath and bleeding from several wounds on his shoulders and legs. Sybil cried out," Mars!" as she rushed forward, and gently, she raised his head. His eyes were weary… but at peace.

"He'll not harm us again." Mars whispered.

flashback

Mars placed the harpoon to Bishop's chest, snarling wrathfully as he hissed," You dared to keep me here, as your experiment? You dared to ruin the lives of others?"

"Mars, think about this, before you stab me. If it hadn't been for me, YOU would never have existed. Are you really so dark in emotion, that you can't take joy with bitterness in life? You can't live in constant ecstasy. I gave you everything," Bishop continued,"I gave you life, a purpose, I even gave you project Eve."

Mars' eyes cleared as he thought of this. But then, he realized something more.

His father's face flashed before his eyes, and the many lessons his father had bestowed on him came into his ears… but more importantly, the love that his father had given… the treasuring of life that had been placed in him was there because of Rabi Keshet. The code of honor he lived and valued would never have been bestowed on him through Bishop.

Silently, Mars' cold gray eyes glared into Bishop and he snarled quietly," There is no value in a life that is lived without honor. You have shown no honor. But i will not stoop to your level. Your base will be destroyed in three minutes. I suggest you evacuate quickly."

And with that, Mars was gone.

And Bishop was left alone.

Mars was recovering slowly, as he looked up at his friends, asking softly," If you are angry with me, for letting that cowardly scum live, then i understand… but i do not regret my actions."

Leo was nodding slowly," It would have been better to kill him, but… I can't blame you for not killing him."

Eos sighed," I know the odds are slim… but there IS a chance that Bishop could have died with the base exploded."

"Wait, the base exploded?" Daphne looked up from snogging Mikey.

Eos winced as she nodded," Nerissa planted more bombs."

Nerissa nodded," Couldn't have done it without your help, Eos, Donnie."

Donatello was on the phone at that moment, and he looked up as he ruefully observed," Sybil, your parents are with April O'Neil. Things aren't going to be pretty when we get back."

"What? er… why?" Sybil asked nervously.

Mars responded," It's because of the newsreport, is it not?"

Don nodded," Yeah… people think that the Deluges are either deluded, or clever pranksters, or swindlers… either way, they've had to go into hiding."

Andromeda groaned," Oh, that's lovely."

Mara sighed grumpily," I HATE homo sapiens…"

"You ARE a homo sapien." Daphne chuckled smugly.

Mara growled," SO?"

Sybil was watching mars careful, as the terrapin looked off into space, his mind at work.

Mars finally looked at them all, a grim idea playing in his mind as he responded quietly," I might have a temporary solution."

Ok, i know this seems hurried, but i's under a lot of pressure, ok! Anywho... i beleive this is almost done. the Next chapter will be the last.

ALTHOUGH... i might make some short stories for these same characters, such as "Those Eyes", which is a shortstory i already wrote about Calypso and Leatherhead.

I will try to update soon.

In other words... Please review! ^_^
