May yawned as she awoke from her slumber on the turtle's couch in the living room. Now that she was finished with school and summer was just beginning, that meant she could hang out with the turtles and train every day.
She got up looking very stylish in her red sweatpants, white tee-shirt and messy pony-tail hairdo and slowly slumped towards the kitchen to look for a somewhat decent meal to eat this early along with some herbal tea. As she opened the rusty cabinet, she came across some frosted flakes and a box of Lucky Charms that had been spilled throughout the entire area. "Well looks like this is my only choice." She grabbed the box and a bowl and silently made her breakfast.
As she ate the meal she attempted to grab a tea cup from another cabinet but she was unsuccessful. The porcelain cup fell from her hands and shattered on the floor cutting her feet as well. She squealed in pain and slammed the bowl with cereal on the counter halfway spilling it. She stepped over the shattered material and then crawled on her hands and knees so that the porcelain would not cut deeper into her feet. As she got to the table she attempted to pick out some of the shards when she was interrupted by master Splinter.
"Miss Gibson. What has happened?" He asked grabbing her left foot. "Sorry splinter sensei, it slipped from my hands. I can buy you a new cup!"
Splinter laughed at her. "I do not mind the cup as much as your safety. Now hold still."
"Is there anything I can do, sensei?" Leo's voice sounded from the other side of the room.
May turned her head the other way in annoyance as he walked up to the pair. "Good morning Leonardo. Please clean up the mess in the kitchen." Splinter replied.
The three sat in silence for the moment or two until the other brothers came down the stairs as well. "May what happened?" Raph yelled concerned. "I'm fine. I just got clumsy and dropped the cup. Whoops." She smiled as master splinter carefully picked the pieces out of her feet.
"Whoa May. You really did it this time! Hahaha!" Mikey laughed at her shaking her messy ponytail. She stuck her tongue out at him but squealed when Splinter pulled out the biggest shard in her right foot.
"I believe that is all of the pieces."Splinter sat up and bowed to the girl. "Thanks. Sorry again. I honestly never meant to." She apologized.
"Yea, who would want pieces of a tea cup stuck in their foot?" Mikey laughed.
"Get ready my students." Splinter started to say as he grabed another tea cup and started to make himself a cup of green tea. "Meet in the dojo in twenty minutes for you training."
Don, Mikey, and Raph all groaned at the thought of spending all day practicing. Leo smiled and finished cleaning up May's mess. May smiled at the thought of practicing. She hadn't gotten to practice that much since summer started and she wanted her training to be intense. Then she frowned. She just realized that she would be spending most of her time training with Leo and not the other and Splinter.
She looked over at the blue bandana turtle and thought maybe things wouldn't be that bad since the whole battle nexus tournament fiasco. Even though he drove her nuts some days, she honestly couldn't imagine the turtles being whole if he wasn't there. She took her cereal bowl from off the counter and sat at the table next to Mike and Raph.
"So May, how was your sleep last night? Did you dream about your prince battle nexus champion?" Mikey proclaimed. Bad idea sitting next to these two turtles May thought in her head as she took a bite of her cereal. "Why you little!" Raph yelled and threw a fork at Mikey. But Mike's ninja reflexes caught the utensil and mocked him for throwing at a bad angle.
"I didn't want to hit May, Mikey!" Raph yelled in defense to Mikey's taugting.
"Aw Raph, I coulda caught it!" May smiled with her mouth full.
Raph, Mikey and Donny all started to laugh at once. "May I don't think you should test your luck with any kitchen supplies for the rest of the day!" Raph pointed and laughed at the blonde but was interrupted by a spoon to the face.
He looked over at an angry blushing May. "Shut up! I'm not the one who couldn't catch a spoon! And in my defense, I was really tired this morning!" She pouted.
"Calm down! I was only joking!" Raph handed her the spoon. May stuck her tongue out at him and snatched the utensil out of her face and back into the bowl for her last scoop of cereal. She threw the spoon back at Raph as a joke right as she glubed down the milk still left in the bowl. Raph growled at her and she quickly stood and placed her dish carefully in the sink. "Ahahaha!" She joked with him and teased his bandana ends as she walked by the boys and into the bathroom. She just loved to mess with Raph. He would get so angry but in reality he would never hurt her.
"OOOOOOOO! May was flirting with Raphhhhhhhhhhhh!" Mikey taunted once again the hot-headed brother.
"Shut up Mikey!" Raph threw May's spoon at him and then finished his own cereal.
Leo and Donny just look at each other and had a this-is-going-to-be-a-loooooong-day look on their faces.
May and the turtles sat around stretching and warning up their bodies for their practice. Master Splinter hobbled to the dojo floor and told them "Ten minute meditation my students."
They all sat in a straight line: Leo on the left, Donny, May, Mikey and then Raph on the right. After the meditation they all took a stance and did their training warm-ups.
After the practice finished three hours later, May and Leo continued to work on a wall flip. She could do it with his help, but without it she would fall flat on her back and knock the wind out of her body for about ten minutes or so. The trick was for her to run up the wall fast and keep her back arched. Then kick her left leg above her head and land on both feet. She did it only once, but that must have just been beginners luck since it was on her first attempt.
Both Leo and May were starting to get frustrated with her incapability to perform the trick. As the other three were finishing, Mikey started to give May a few pointers.
"Mikey! I'm supposed to be teaching her!" Leo protested against Mikey's helpful tips.
"Well you're obviously doing a bad job teaching her!" Raph crossed his arms defending his youngest brother.
"What makes you say that?" Leo crossed his arms looking at Raph.
"Well May can't do it! That means you're the one to blame!" Raph yelled.
"She did do it! Now I don't know why she can't but I'm trying my best to-"Leo started to yell back but May interrupted the argument.
"Um I'm standing right here! Are you all trying to say I suck or something?" She stood up looking at the two oldest brothers. They were quiet and May growled in annoyance. "Whatever. I'm done for today Leo!" She walked away following Donny who purposely walked away from the about to be fight. She headed for her suitcase with her clothes and her cell phone. She noticed it was about two in the afternoon and she had a text message from Lilly.
"Hey gurl. Come out wit me & a few friends 2night. Itll b fun! 3"
She smiled. May really never got to hang out with the crazy bubbly Lilly and she responded "yea sure. Where ru going?"
She closed her cell and looked back at the turtles who were still arguing. Mikey was watching the argument like he was watching a boxing tournament or something. And Donny was sitting in his lab looking at stacks of paper. She headed for the bathroom unnoticed and received a reply from Lilly. "Idk. But we r gonna hang my house 1st. mayb a party?"
May took off her smelly ninja clothes and washed her body off quickly in the shower. As she dried her body she responded "Yea, what time?" She put on her underwear, a pair of jeans and a pink halter top. She just left her hair in the messy bun that she put up so her hair would not get wet in the shower and walked out. Everything had calmed down.
Leo was gone, Mikey and Raph were playing video games and Donny hadn't moved from his previous spot. May went back to her suitcase and took out her straighter. She walked back to the bathroom and got another message from Lilly. "Come around 10? Cool?" May smiled. "Yup yup! C ya!"
She straightened all of the waves and curves her ponytail and bun made with her hair and then unplugged the straighter put it back with her stuff and walked towards Mikey and Raph.
"Hey May! Why do you look so good?" Mikey asked looking up from his game.
May sat next to him on the floor, while Raph sat in the middle of the couch. "Oh well I'm going to go out with Lilly! I can't wait."
"Where are you going?" Raph paused the game. May got annoyed. "Why do you want to know? So you can sneak around and watch me from a distance? You guys are my friends. Can't you all just let me go out and know that I can protect myself sometimes?" She yelled at Raph.
Raph stood up and looked down at May. "Sure. Go and have fun!" and with that he walked away.
Mikey laughed. "What's with him?" May shook her head. He was a hard shell to figure out sometimes. Mike then handed her Raph's controller. "You take his spot. He sucks at this game anyways! But that's because he can't compare next to the Battle Nexus CHAMPION!" Mikey laughed. May smiled and nodded her head. "You're right Mikey! No one can compare to you…"
Around nine thirty or so, May did a final makeup check and put on some shoes and a jacket on. She grabbed her purse with her cell phone and waved goodbye to the turtles. "Bye guys, I'll definitely be back by one! Have a good run on the town!" She knew that they were going out tonight for a midnight run. Even though she already told Lilly she was coming, she wished she could practice outside of the dojo with them.
She headed out of the swear area and to Lilly's house. She made sure she stayed on the lighted sidewalk area and kept head up and focused so that she wouldn't risk getting mugged.
As she neared Lilly's apartment, she started to recall the memories that happened only the day before. She could picture herself running down the hallway trying to run away from the shadow ninja's that chased her after she found out the Ultimate Ninja's plan. He wanted to destroy them all, but why? What had she, or anyone else that was there, done to him that would drive him insane? Suddenly, she heard a voice from around the alley she had just passed. She stopped and slowly walked back to the alley.
"Who's there?" She looked into the dark path. A figured appeared and she squealed at the sight. "CHAD! What are you doing silly? You scared me half to death!" She hugged her tutor friend.
He hugged back. "Are you heading to Lilly's party?" May nodded. "Yea who all is going to be there?" they both continued to walk to Lilly's apartment. "I'm not sure, but I believe it is a big party."
As they arrived to the door, they could hear music and yelling. A very drunken Lilly answered the door.
"OH MY GODDDDD! MAYYYY! I thought you'd never freaking come! Get in here girl!" She grabbed May by the arm completely forgetting about Chad. May smiled back to him as she was sucked into the room.
There wasn't too many people in her living room, about fifteen or so, but they all were drinking. May wasn't liking this, but she knew that this is what kids did nowadays and she wanted to keep up with her friends.
"Hey Lilly? Is Anna or Kaya here?" May yelled to Lilly who was dragging her to the kitchen. Her question was answered when she came face-to-face with Anna. "May! Here girl, I already got you a drink!" She handed her a plastic cup.
"What is this?" May asked smelling it. "It's hunch-punch. It's really good! Try it! I made it so don't worry." Anna smiled as she drank the liquid in the cup. It burned her throat as she swallowed the drink, but the aftertaste was pretty good.
"Why is Lilly throwing a party?" May asked her two somewhat sober friends. Kayla answered, "Her parents are out of town and told her she could throw a party. Cool parents if you asked me." Kaya then sipped on a beer bottle.
Anna started bouncing up and down. "I'm so excited that you're here! And I'm so ready to dance! Let's go!" The strawberry blonde girl dragged May and Kaya to the living room area. They started dancing and drinking, and drinking and dancing and before May knew it her phone started to vibrate in her pocket, right on time too because 'Telephone' by Lady Gaga started to play. "Hello?" She answered.
"May? Where have you been? Are you okay? It's almost two." It was Leo and she could hear Raph yelling in the background. She signaled to Anna that she was going outside and then rushed over to the porch. "What did you say? I'm sorry." Her words were slurred and Leo could tell that May was drunk. "May have you-have you been drinking?" Leo said stunned.
"So what are you now? A cop? My god, you always have to pick on something!" She yelled into the phone.
"I'm coming to get her right now!" Raph yelled in the back.
"NO! Raph cannot come!" She quickly responded. "Can Mikey get me?" She asked.
Leo nodded his head even though she couldn't see him, "No, he and Don are both sleeping. They crashed after playing video games."
May started to cry. "Well, I can walk home. Or I'll just stay here." She decided.
"Why do you not want me to come and get you so much?" Leo finally asked.
May wiped away her tears. "Why, because I don't like you Leo. You don't like me either." That hurt the blue bandana turtle. "Okay May. Whatever." He hung up the phone.
"So who were you talking to? Who's this Raph guy?" She looked over her shoulder and saw Chad leaning on the wall. "That's pretty harsh. Especially if they just want to walk you home." Chad fixed his shirt collar and walked over to her. "I can walk you back to your apartment. That is if you like me, because I like you." He smirked.
May was pissed. "Go away Chad." She pushed him out of the way and walked back inside. The room was spinning and her head was spinning as well. It was a feeling that she had never felt before. She felt sick and yet good all together. Her limbs and lips were numb, but she could feel the wind around her body. She quickly found Anna and told her she had to leave.
"Are you sure? We are all staying here tonight…" She looked upset. "Yea, I gotta go." May grabed her purse from the front door and walked out.
She walked the same route that she walked before the party. This time, however, it was a lot harder for her to keep her eyes open to where she was going and she often ran into objects on the street. After about ten minutes of walking, the drunken state of May gave up. She ran into a lighted alley and started to cry. She somehow had gotten lost and now she was never going to find her way back.
She walked around the area and sat against the wall, still crying. "How did I get into this mess?" She thought out loud. Suddenly her heavy eyelids closed and she drifted off to sleep.
Leo continued to stay up for May back at the lair. He had told Raph that one of her girlfriends was dropping her off so that he would not be worried and go and find her. But now, as Leo looked at the clock, it was almost four in the morning.
He really did not want to bring her back, but he knew Raph would be a bad choice, Mikey would probally fall asleep on the job, and Don hated to be waken up. Leo decied to call her once more.
The phone rang, no answer. It rand again, still no answer. It rang once again, and there still was not an answer. Leo started to get worried. Finally on the fourth ring, May answered. "What?" She studdered.
"May? Where are you?" Leo said sternly. She started to cry. "I don't know where I am Leo. I'm lost…" Leo sighed. "Well where are you now?" He asked hoping to find some sort of detail to help locate her. "In an alley. I don't know where though…" She cried some more.
"Okay well I'm going to find you. Is that okay?" He asked running out of the lair. "Yes." May cried. "Please don't hang up though…I'm scared." She whispered.
"May don't be scarred, you'll be okay." Leo laughed in his head. Drunken people were pretty funny. Both in the way that they talked and what they said. He continued to talk to her while he searched the city and eventually he found her on the other side of town in an old deserted alley. "May, look up…" he said through the phone. He could see her sitting against the wall in a fetal position. May dropped the phone and smiled at his shadow. "Yay, you found me!"
Leo jumped down and put his shell cell away. "May what is wrong with you? You went the opposite way of the lair." Leo walked towards her. May slid up the wall to stand up to his level. "I don't know…I just…" and then she stopped talking. They stood there for about a minute or so just staring at each other. Leo didn't know if she was about to fight him, or if she was about to cry and fall down.
Lucky for him, she cried and lost her footing falling right towards the green mutant. Leo picked her up and carried her, "Come on, let's go home okay?" He smiled. She nodded her head holding onto his neck as he jumped into the air back onto the rooftops.
May fell asleep the whole time Leo brought her back and once he returned to the lair May woke up. He put her on the couch and she sat straight up. "Leo my head hurts…" She whined holding her head. Leo sighed and walked over to the kitchen to find some Advil. He turned around and May was halfway climbing up the ladder.
"MAY!" Leo half whispered/yelled. "What are you doing?" He ran after her. She had already gone up to the second floor and was just about to walk into Donny's room but Leo stopped her from doing so. "HEY-!" May started to yell but Leo covered her mouth. "You have to be quiet May, it's really late." May nodded and then whispered, "But I wanted to tell Donny something." She smiled.
"Well you can tell him in the morning." Leo pushed her towards his bedroom. He didn't want her to be loud and wake up his brothers or for her to walk into one of their rooms.
"Wow. Do you think you have enough Japanese stuff in your room, Leo?" May walked throughout his room admiring all of the objects he kept in his clean tidy room. He had a full sized be in the corner of the room and then a whole entire space with a rug for him to either meditate or practice training. She also noticed all of the Japanese calligraphy paintings around the walls, scroll paintings of temples and geishas and then she stumbled across two sword looking things. They were wood but they were about the same size as his katana's.
"What's this?" She asked sitting down on the rug holding the two sword things. "They are for practice. That way I don't hurt anyone when I try to figure out a new move to use for my katana's." Leo responded sitting down on his bed watching May. She laughed and sat up trying to fight the air. Leo felt his eyelids closing but just as soon as he closed them he could hear May's footsteps running towards him. He jumped up and blocked her attack with the swords with his forearm. 'ouch, that's gonna be a bruise.' He thought to himself as May laughed and threw the sword down on the ground. "Haha, you really are good." She laughed and sat next to his spot on the bed.
He sat down next to her. "I think you should have won the battle nexus championship thingy." She yawned. "If it wasn't for that lunatic maybe I would have." He smiled at her. "But Mike won! He was so happy." She looked down at the ground admiring her shoes. They sat there for a moment or so until May bluntly said, "One day I'll beat you." She looked over at him with a serious face. "Oh really?" Leo responded, "You sound like my red bandana brother." He laughed. May smiled too.
"Yea but I'll actually do it." She then leaned up against Leo's shoulder as her eyes started to close.
Leo felt so relaxed while May leaned on him. She was warm too, which made it even more enjoyable for the cold blooded turtle. "Hey May, you need to take this." Leo put his palm in front of her face with the medicine he had grabbed from before. She took it and swallowed it whole and resumed her position back to Leo's shoulder.
"Thanks Leo." She slurred yawning as well.
Leo smiled. "You're welcome." After about ten minutes or so, May was out cold. Leo gracefully picked her up and laid her on his own bed. He pushed back his blankets and then tucked her inside of them. He looked down at her and sadly he could picture him sleeping right next to her. He wanted to, but he knew that May would not like that in the morning when she woke up. He grabbed a blanket from his dresser and laid down on the rug he meditated on. "Good night May." He whispered from the floor and drifted off to sleep.
May woke up later on in the day, but she had no idea where she was. She sat up in the bed and looked around. She saw a room with brick walls that looked a lot like the brick from the turtle's lair. She then noticed the décor of the room and knew who's bed she was in, "Leo's?" She got out of bed, even though her head was throbbing and walked out of the door. Sure enough she was in the lair.
"Look who decided to wake up!" Yelled Raphael from the kitchen. May stuck her tongue at him and walked down the ladder. She walked over to where Leo was meditating and shook his shoulder. Leo opened his eyes and looked up at her. "Good afternoon." He spoke and closed his eyes again. "What happened? I don't remember anything after we got off the phone at the party." Leo sighed.
"Well one of your friends dropped you off and for some reason you went up the stairs to go wake up my brothers. So I calmed you down in my room and that's why you woke up in there." May could hardly believe him, but she went with it anyways. "Thanks." She huffed and then walked over to the couch where Donny and Mikey were playing video games. "Hey May. Had fun last night?" Mike asked. "Yea, a little too much fun I guess." She grabbed some clothes from her suitcase and headed over to the kitchen where the shower was.
Raph gave her a stern look as he watched her all the way to the bathroom. May undress and took a quick shower, erasing all the germs and alcohol from last night with her scented body soap. After she got out, she changed into a green flower tank top and some blue jean shorts. She kept her hair wrapped up in a towel as she walked out of the bathroom though. After all, she was hungry. She looked through the fridge and found some apples and a glass of milk that she ate across from Raph at the table. He seemed to not pay any attention to her for a while.
May didn't care, she didn't even know why he was pouting. Just then May could hear her cell phone ring from her suitcase near the living room area. She ran over and answered it, it was Anna. "Hey girl!" May answered walking back towards the kitchen and Raph.
"Hey! I just wanted to know if you wanted to hang out with us. We aren't drinking or anything tonight, but we are going to watch some movies and order Chinese! By the way, how are you feeling? Did you make it home safely?" Anna answered sounding giddy as she always did.
"Yea I'm fine, I woke up about an hour ago so I feel refreshed. I can come over pretty soon. I just gotta dry my hair and then I'll be okay!" she smiled. "All right then! See you soon!" Anna hung up and May finished the rest of her apple.
"Going out again?" Raph said ticked off. "No, well yes. But I'm just going to Anna's to watch movies and hang out. No big deal tonight." She smiled and patted his head as she threw away her apple and walked to the bathroom. She quickly blow-dried her hair and put just a little bit of make-up on. Afterwards, she found her shoes from last night and put them on while grabbing her purse too. "Bye guys! This time I promise I'll be back before one!" She smiled and waved goodbye.
Raph sighed. "Yea right!" and walked over to Donny and Mike. "Hey when can I play?" He yelled at the two who were now hanging upside down playing their game. "Never!" Mikey laughed. Just then all the power went out in the lair.
"Awww man! Another black-out?" Mikey squealed. "Don't worry Mikey! It's not the end of the world!" Donny responded. Just then the power turned back on. "See! What did I tell ya?" Donny smiled at his little brother but unfortunately, they had lost their game. The TV turned into the fuzz channel and then a women popped up on the screen.
"This is the television emergency broadcast system! Please stay tuned!" and then she started to report from the streets of NYC. "The world no longer has to question if life on other planets exists!" She yelled into the camera. Leo, master splinter and Raph then rushed into the living room to hear the women.
"Aliens have invaded the streets of New York City! Please everyone stay inside and stay tuned to our show!" The mutants all recognized the aliens that were invading. It was the triceritons. The turtles all at once ran from the lair as their poor Master said, "No boys, it would be best for us to stay in-" He turned around and saw his sons missing. "Why do I even bother?" She sighed.
The four turtles escaped to the rooftops and watched their beloved city invaded by the evil triceritons. "I hate these guys. We gotta do something!" Raph spat out. "What can we do against an entire invasion?" Donny questioned. "It's the end of the world as we know it, and I don't feel fine…" Mikey half joked. "Suddenly Donny's shell cell started to ring. "Hello?" He answered. "DON! Aliens! Chasing, ME!" May screamed on the line. "HELPPP!" She screamed once more before her phone went dead.
May walked out from the lair and into a living hell. There were these strange mutant dinosaur looking creatures on hover carts. They were capturing people and shooting guns at the ones that didn't cooperate.
"You there!" May heard a voice growl and then her arm was raised above her head and her feet off the ground. "You are coming with us!" The creature snarled in May's face. But May would not go down without a fight. She kicked him in the stomach and caused him to drop her hand. As he was clutching his kicked mid-section she kneed him in the face and took off running into the alley next to her. She swiftly pulled out her cell phone from her pocket and dialed the first turtle on it. Donny.
"Hello?" He answered. "DON! Aliens! Chasing, ME!" May screamed still continuing to run as three more dinosaur creatures chased after her. One of them shot at her but missed thankfully. However, the force and surprise scared May and she tripped and fell."HELPPP!" She screamed once more as they closed in on her and one took the phone from her grip and smashed it in his hand.
"You are coming with us." It declared and grabbed her arms and pulled them behind her back. May didn't have enough strength to get out of this position and sadly accepted her fate. They lead her to a moving platform thing that took of once she stepped onto it. The platform lead them to the park.
There she saw many people who had also been captured by the aliens in a laser cage of some kind. "You! Inside!" The mean alien who carried her threw her into the cage along with the other helpless people. She sat up and tried to escape but as soon as she touched the laser bar she flew back onto the ground in pain. Electricity shocked throughout her body and the others offered her no helping hands. When the pain was over she sat up and watched the rest of the aliens carefully. They rounded up other humans and put them into a different cage.
What was the reason she was in this cage and not that one. It seemed like they were dividing everyone up specifically. But for what reason, May thought. Eventually she recognized two faces. "APRIL! CASEY!" She screamed to the other side.
The closet triceriton walked over to May's side and quieted her by shocking her with some sort of torch.
"May!" Casey screamed and tried to fight his way to help her. "May! Please be quiet!" April tried to sush her niece. Just then one of the triceritons pushed Casey into another group of people. April ran to help him as the alien held his gun to the two of them. May couldn't stand it any longer. She took off her shoe and threw it at the guard attacking Casey. He snarled at May and walked over to her in the cage.
"You are a very annoying human!" He grabbed her arm and pulled May out from the cage. The electricity struck through May's body once again and this time she passed out from the pain.
"May!" April yelled, but her scream was quickly replaced by the sound of another cage being placed on top of her and Casey.
The turtles made their way to central park. Leo received a distress call from April when her phone line went dead. The boys hid in the darkest part of the forest.
"Casey and April must be in either one of those cages over there." Donny pointed to the opened area.
"Great! A portable Alcatraz. Now everyone is gonna want one!" Mikey joked.
Raph took out one of his sais, "Let's get ready to kick some shell." He crouched down about to attack.
Leo stopped his anxious brother. "Hold it Raph. We are way out numbered and we need to use our heads." Raph snorted. "Guess that leaves Mikey out."
Just then Mikey turned around to face his brothers. "Ya know, if all of those people were set free at once there would be a lot of confusion." He smiled at his plan.
Raph and the others jaw dropped. "Mikey had a good idea?" Raph spoke.
"Mikey had a good idea." Leo answered. "Donny how can we get the cage down?"
Donny thought for a minute then spoke, "See that? The cages are triangulated by the platforms. If we knock out them down the whole cage should come down with it!"
"Okay! Mikey and Raph see if you two can set up a diversion while Donny and I can get close enough to take out the platforms. Let's move!" Leo commanded.
Mikey and Raph quickly decided to over load a gun and it exploded near a Triceriton base camp. While the aliens tried to recover their base, Don and Leo leaped into action by knocking out a guard on a moving platform and attacking to two platforms that held up the two cages. The cages disappeared and the people from inside of them started to flee. Don and Leo hoped off the platform to find Casey and April and hopefully May. They hadn't heard from her since the call that they received about an hour ago when this mess started.
April was being dragged away from Casey grasp by a triceriton that followed the triceriton that carried a knocked out May on his shoulder. April screamed in defeat and a watchful Don heard the familiar scream.
"April!" He called out and the triceriton stopped to turn around. Bad mistake for him. Donny hit him with his bowand hit the other two behind him. He quickly grabbed their guns and ran to April's safety. "Back off!" Donny warned the rest of them.
April hugged the turtle. "Donny I could just kiss you!" She said relived that her friend was there.
Donny blushed, "Really? Ugh, we better get these people out of here fast!" He pointed the guns to the rest of the aliens.
April called out to the rest of the humans that were being rounded with her, "You heard the turtle. Let go!" She ran pass Don and then remembered May. "Oh my gosh. MAY!" She turned around but it was too late. The triceriton that carried May into the spaceship had shot Donny in the back and he fell to the ground. "Donny nooooo!" April screamed as they took him in the ship. The ship door closed and the space ship took off taking Donny and May to wherever in the universe it was going.
Donny was awaken by a slap to a face by the giant Triceriton that had shot him earlier. "Get up!"He commanded at the turtle. "You're lucky we have such a great leader that will let you breathe on our home terf! Here is your stupid breather." The same Triceriton threw a breather cord at him. Donny put it in his mouth and attached it at his hip where his belt was around his waist.
The Triceriton then huffed as he turned his back to Donny and leaned over what looked to be a human. Donny stood and looked around the alien and a familiar face laid unconscious before him. "May…" He whispered and balled up his fist in case the alien tried anything.
The triceriton turned back to Donny with May slumped over his shoulder. Another Triceriton then appeared from the opposite side of the room and pushed Donny into walking forward.
Donny and the two triceritons walked side by side in silence as they made their way into what looked like a grand ballroom of some sort. They walked up some steps and then another familiar face for Donny appeared in front of him. The prime leader of the Triceritons walked over with the ugliest grin Donny had ever seen.
"All hail the prime leader!" The Triceriton caring May said and the two Triceritons kneeled before him. Donny just stood there. "Kneel before our great leader!" The other said and hit Don so that he fell to the floor.
"YOU! Finally! I can make you pay for your past crimes! Making the fugitoid escape, holding me hostage, beating the Triceriton all stars, and and and! AND YOU STOLE MY PERSONAL SPACE CRUISER!" The prime leader yelled at Don. He just laughed. "Did I do all that? Hmmm well I always was a personal achiever!" He laughed at himself.
"SLIENCE!" The prime leader screamed again. "Now tell me: WHERE IS THE FUGITIOD!"
Donny yelled back, "I. DON'T. KNOW!"
"You defy me?"
"No! The truth is, the fugitoid is not on Earth anymore! He's gone! Long gone!"
"NO! WE KNOW THE FUGITIOD IS HERE! NOW TELL THE TRUTH OR PERISH!"
Just then a moan came from behind the Triceriton caring May. She shook her head and yelled for help. "Put me down you over sized lizard!" The Triceriton threw her to the floor and May gasped at the wind being knocked out of her body.
Donny stood up and ran to May. "May, are you hurt! Are you oaky?" Don comforted her. "DONNY!" May squealed and hugged the turtle around the neck.
"How cute," the prime leader started. "Put them in cuffs. I don't want them to get any ideas of escaping." The two were dragged away from each other by each of the two Triceritons and put glowing handcuffs around their wrists. It was then that May discovered she had a tube of air going down her throat that made it very uncomfortable whenever she swallowed her own spit.
"Now who are you? Obviously this terrapin creature is a friend of yours so we can use you as a bargaining chip!" The prime leader walked over to May.
"Don't touch her!" Donny yelled, and May started to get a little scared at how mad Don was yelling. "Where is the fugitiod little miss?" The prime leader cupped May's chin to look at his face. His breath stuck like old moldy food and his hands were colder than ice. Colder than any of the cold blooded turtles that she was used to being around.
"I. I don't. I don't know who. That is?" May coughed. "LIES!" The prime leader threw her down the stairs and towards the entrance.
Donny yelled and ran towards the prime leader to try to attack him, when he was shocked by one of the Triceriton's spears. The Triceriton that shocked Don picked him up by his cuffs after.
"How many times do I have to tell you, you over grownpee brain gecko! The Fugitiod is not HERE!" Donny yelled.
"Our brains may be small terrapin scum! But our tracking device does not lie! The fugitiod's teleportation device wrecked into your planet!" The Triceriton responded as he messed with some sort of computer system that explained what they were tracking.
"He was here at one point in time. But he is not here anymore!" Donny tried to convince the Triceritons once again.
"Then where is he?" The prime leader sat in his throne chair.
"I. I can't tell you that." Donny softened. May had absolutely no clue what any of this was about and then she put the pieces together. These were the aliens that tried to kill the turtles when they went into the TCRI building to try to find master splinter when he was missing. This story just seemed to build and build and build.
"Can't? Or wont!" The prime leader asked as Donny turned his back to him and faced May. May looked at Donny and could automatically read his face. He knew where this fugitiod was, and Donny knew what would happen to them if he told the prime leader.
"Fine then. We pee brained gecko's will just have to extract the information from your over-sized terrapin brain." The prime leader said sarcastically. May stood up from her position that she was thrown into by the prime leader and watched as the Triceritons placed a helmet looking thing on Don's head. It started to spark and Donny began to scream as images of Donny's past were shown on the screen behind the prime leader.
"STOP IT! DONNY!" May ran over to him, but on of the Triceritons held her by the collar of her shirt and lifted her off the ground. "DONNY NO! STOP PLEASE, YOU'RE HURTING HIM!" She cried as the prime leader smiled at Donny's pain.
Just then Donny yelled out a familiar name through all his screaming and moaning of the pain the helmet was causing him. Donny sat in a meditation posed and stopped screaming and just like magic, the helmet made a popping sound and broke causing the memories of Donny's mind to cease on the screen.
"Impossible! No one has ever resisted the mind probe!" One of the minion Triceritons said taking off the broken helmet of Don's head.
"Clearly the creature has something to hide. But we have ways to make him talk."
"No way, I won't tell you anything!" Donny said defensively.
"Oh really? Not even to save your brothers? We know that they are in the same miserable city that we found you in and we have ways to find them!" Just then a space ship started to blast through the streets of New York and tear up the city into the sky. May and Donny watched in horror as their home was being destroyed and all they could do was watch it.
"Wait, wait! Stop, the fugitiod is NOT on EARTH! Can't you just scan for is positronic energy signature or something!"
The prime leader and the Triceritons started to laugh. "What kind of fools do you take us for? Positronic energy signatures are as common as space dust!" The prime leader argued at the turtle.
"Not on Earth. Our technology isn't advanced enough!" Donny tried to stop the destruction of New York.
May shook her head at the PL. "Its not. I have no clue what the heck you guys are talking about." She sighed.
"What! Why was I not informed of this? Initiate positronic energy signature scan now!" The PL yelled.
A big picture of the planet appeared on the screen and a scan was conducted. "This better not be a way for you to stall time while your brothers commit some act of sabotage!" The PL yelled at the two.
"Are you kidding? My brother's wouldn't be caught dead in this place!" Donny boasted.
Just then the door to the room opened on the other side of the group and in walked a Triceriton guard with three captured turtles in front of him. "Prime Leader! Excuse the interruption, but these spies were caught trying to take over the place." The Triceriton yelled.
"Greeeeeeeaaaat." May sighed to Donny knowing they were totally busted.
"Wouldn't be caught dead in this place, huh? Well they have been caught!" The PL yelled at the two and then lead them over to the rest of the turtles. "And now they will be exterminated!" The PL growled holding up a gun to Leo, Mikey, Raph and then throwing Donny into the group while May stood next to the PL.
"You four will pay for the crimes you have committed to Triceriton Republic! And don't think I've forgotten about my space cruiser!" he growled the last sentence.
May smirked at the turtles. Apparently the PL was really ticked about whatever they had done to his space cruiser and if May had to guess, they probably did something epic to it.
"Excuse me Prime Leader, but wouldn't it be best to prolong their agony in the private torture chamber?" The Triceriton guard stated.
The PL smiled. "Excellent suggestion guard. Take these four away. I'm keeping this one, however, just in case they try to plan to escape!" He grabbed May's collar as he spoke meaning that he would be keeping her close.
"Let me go you stupid dinosaur!" May started to kick and fight her way out of his grip. But without her hands it was almost useless.
The four looked at May in fear. This wasn't a part of the plan… Leo thought as the Triceriton guard took them away.
"May! NO!" Raph yelled trying to push his way to her but the guard pushed him back and the turtles were finally gone.
As the turtles walked away from the room Donny sighed. "Well guys, if this is your idea of a rescue mission. It's pretty lame…"
Just then the Triceriton guard looked around the area, pulled out a remote control and then pushed a button that released the handcuffs on all of the guys. "You were saying?" Leo smiled.
"Okay… open mouth, insert foot!" Donny laughed. The Triceriton revealed himself as one of their friends that they had met earlier. He pulled open a vent, "Come, we must get you to an escape ship."
She ran down the corridor and saw a green figure hop down a vent just as she turned the corner. "GUYS!" She yelled out hoping she could catch their attention. Just then a blue bandana turtle popped his head out. "May! You escaped!" He smiled and climbed out of the vent to her.
She sighed trying to catch her breath. "Yea see, I can take care of myself!" She jokingly punched him in the arm. Just then an alarm sounded.
"Come on! We better hurry." Leo pushed her in and she slid down the vent piling underneath muscular legs of green.
"MAY!" Mikey whisper-yelled, picking her off the ground and hugging her, "how did you escape? Did you miss your champion?" He boasted. May smiled trying to catch her breath. The stress of trying to escape without getting caught, trying to find they guys, and running were starting to catch up to her.
"Yea. Whatever. Let's get out of here, huh?"
The group piled out of the vent and into the corner of an army warehouse. The crouched behind barrels of what looked like gasoline. Leo and Raph pushed the trolley of barrels towards a group of Triceriton soldiers and the Triceriton helping them escape shot at it causing a huge explosion.
"Come on!" Leo yelled and threw May on his back as they ran away from the mess.
"Hey, this the PL's ship! Didn't we steal this once before?" Mikey pointed to a huge space ship in front of them.
"And guess what! We're stealing it again!" Leo stated as he ran towards it. He hoped onto the roof that had an opening and sat May down on the PL's chair.
"Good luck, my friends." The Triceriton helping them said good-bye as he closed the roof as the group piled in.
The turtles got into different seats, Leo and Don sitting in what looked like the navigation/driving area, and Mikey and Raph in two separate gun looking rooms.
"Good thing we already know how to fly this!" Mikey laughed. Don interrupted with not-some-good news to May's ears. "Actually, the fugitiod piloted the last time."
May shook her head. "Man, this fugitiod guy can do everything huh? What's the big deal about him?" She asked but was interrupted when they crashed the side of the space ship into a wall.
"That's another story for another day May. Right now, we need to get out of here!" Leo yelled hoping she would understand.
They flew out of the area, bumping into walls and such and finally made it out into the openness of space.
A blinking light appeared on one of the buttons on the chair May sat on and she pressed it. A screen popped up on the windshield looking part of the ship and on it was a green ball of furry that looked like it was following them.
"Uh guys, what's that!" May pointed.
"Sit tight and hold onto your lunches!" Donny yelled as he navigated the ship straight up in the air. Thank god May had on a seat belt, or she would have fallen out of the seat. She looked back at the green ball that looked like a heat seeking missile and followed their every move. "It must be a smart weapon!" Donny figured trying to decide what to do next.
"Well we betta get smarter cuz its right on our tail!" Raph yelled but Don interrupted, "That's the least of our problems now!" May then could see two other bigger space ships firing at them. The ship spun out of control, worse than the fastest craziest roller coaster May had ever been on. Actually, May would have done anything to ride that ten times in a row than be in this situation!
"Donny! Is there any way we can shake these shake these things off of our trail?" May screamed.
"Don't you get it! They follow our every move!" Donny yelled frantic at what to do.
"Well then maybe we should use that to our advantage!" Leo yelled back hoping Donny would figure out an idea.
They flew into Earth's atmosphere and went inside a hole of the spaceship that was covering up New York City in its binds. The ball exploded at the ship did as well, rendering NYC safe at last.
"WAY TO GO DONNY! How'd you know it was gonna work like that?" Mikey cheered for his brother.
"Actually, I didn't." Don smiled.
Just then all of the Triceriton space ships that were still on Earth started to float away.
"So the horn-heads are packing it in huh?" Raph smiled at his brothers and May and walked out from his spot.
"Looks like we saved the Earth from the alien invasion." Leo smiled.
"AWESOME! We will get a hero's welcome. Dinner with the president! A made for TV movie!" Mikey smiled walking up and pretending to film Leo with a camera. Raph and Leo raised their foreheads. "Or…we could let someone else have the glory and live back in the sewers forever and ever…" May laughed and walked beside Mikey. "It was a good try." She smiled placing her hand on his shoulder.
"Well, at least we got this sweet space ship out of it! And this whole fugitiod crisis is finally over!" Donny stated hovering over the city as the sunrise started.
"I didn't even get to meet this fugitiod and I'm already sick of him!" May joked looking out towards the beautiful sky.
And for that one moment, everything was perfect. May would have given everything in the world to keep that moment. And then it ended all with the ring of Mikey's shell cell.
"Hello? Oh hey professor Honey Cut! What's up! Hold on, let me put you on speaker! We were just talking about you, your ears must be burning!" Mikey smiled and pushed a button on his phone so everyone could hear him.
"Not so," a robot-like voice sounded through the phone. "My ears are a steal alloy and they would have to be over a 25,000 degrees for combustion to occur." Mikey's mind had been blown from the professors speech.
"Professor, your signal is so clear! It sounds like you're a mile away!" Donny smiled working on a part of the ship while May took his spot on the chair.
"Oh no. Not a mile away. I'm at least 2.1 miles away. At the site of the TCRI building."
Just then all of the turtles freaked out! "YOU'RE HERE ON EARTH!"
"Oh boy. What now…?" May sighed. "We will be right there professor! Don't move! Donny, we need to hide this thing pronto!" Leo demanded.
"Let me take a wild guess…he's the fugitiod?" May asked Raph pointing to Mikey's phone. He nodded. "Oh great, here we go again…"
