Donny landed the ship somewhat near where the old abandoned garage that they stored all their vehicles in.
"May, you have to stay here." Leo commanded at the small blonde girl. She pouted. "You gotta be kidding me! I've heard so freaking much about this fugitiod guy, and now that he's here I can't be a part of it?" She yelled back at the leader.
"It's too dangerous. Especially with the Triceritons on our trail! Try to meet up with April and Casey or something. Just stay here!" Leo demanded this time as he hopped out of the sunroof of the space ship. Donny followed after him, then Mikey and Raph last.
"Just listen to him 'kay May? We just don't want you to get hurt." Raph shut the door afterwards.
May sat in the seat Donny navigated in. "Great. I'm a freaking damsel all the time and because of it, I can't go out and have fun. Or kick butt or whatever they do. Not fair." She spun around in the chair for a while but stopped as soon as the same motion sickness from flying around in space earlier came back to her body. "What the hell am I supposed to do."
She thought allowed and then laughed. "What the SHELL am I supposed to do around here!" She said imitating the infamous Mikey. She laughed for a little while and then calmed down. "well I'm off to a great summer vacation, huh? Gosh I can't even imagine what can happen later this break." She laughed at her comment and then thought about something she wish could forget.
At the end of the summer break was when her family died in the fire in her home in San Francisco. Even though she didn't start school until the second semester of her sophomore year, she had been in many hospitals, safe homes and to many psychiatrists under a close suicide watch for no reason at all. May complained the entire time she was there just saying how much she just wanted to be with her Aunt that loved her in the great city of NY. She just wanted to get away, she wasn't suicidal; she was just depressed. Who wouldn't be unhappy if they had just lost anything?
A tear rolled from her eye and she quickly wiped it off her face. One of the psychiatrists she had gone too would yell at her for crying like a baby. Even though it was hard to hear, May was a tough cookie, and stuck to 'what the doctor ordered'.
She sighed trying to let the memories of everything escape from her head. She closed her eyes, counted to ten and took three deep breaths in, and then out and opened her eyes again. Good thing she did because at that moment she saw April and Casey examining the ship on the big screen monitor of the windshield.
"APRIL! Casey!" She ran to the top of the ship and lifted the roof to climb out of the hunk of steel. "Aunt April!" May squealed out and slid down the ships side and ran to her aunt. April hugged her niece with a big bear hug. "May are you alright? What happened after you were attacked in the park? Where are the turtles?" She asked kissing the top of May's head at the end of every sentence.
"Wha'sup May? I'm glad to see that you are okay." Casey patted her on the back as soon as April let her go.
"The guys left." May started. "When we escaped from the prime leader's clutches, we stole his cruise ship- this thing right here- and then as the Triceritons left and we made our way back to the city, Mikey got a call from the fugitiod saying that he was back on Earth! So the guys high-tailed it outta here and left me to dieeeee!" She ended dramaticly.
"I'm sure they didn't leave you to die young lady. But the fugitiod is the one the aliens were looking for right?" May nodded. "So this is bad! They will probably come back! We've got to get out of here then!" She pulled May by the arm and opened the turtles garage that lead to the lair. May and Casey followed April as they walked through the lair and came face to face with none other than Master Splinter.
"Master Splinter!" May ran to him and hugged him. "I thought I'd never see you again!" She half-joked, half-truly said pretending to sob.
"It is good to see you too, Miss Gibson. What news do you bring of my sons?" He asked the three.
"All I know is Master, that the fugitiod was not on Earth, now he is back on Earth. And we have no idea on Earth where he or the turtles went." May dusted herself off.
"We were hoping we could find out more information from you, Master Splinter…" April added.
Splinter thought about the situation for a moment and then decided, "this is not good. I fear for their safety. I will try to find them but I must gather a few things first." He walked to his room and shut the door.
"Whoa, hold on Masta Splinter. Where do we start!" Casey enthusiastically asked.
"It will not be necessary for you to accompany me, Mr. Jones." Splinter replied. "Ouch." May laughed.
"Yea but you don't know what it's like up there! Those horned-headed freaks are everywhere!" Casey replied back.
"He's right. No one is allowed on the streets after dark! He and I were lucky to make it down here alive!" April said as Splinter walked from his room.
"That is precisely my point my friends. It is too dangerous." Splinter continued to walk around the Lair.
"Yea but master,you don't even know where to start to look!" May added hoping he would include her on his search.
"Can I at least help you track them through their shell cell signals?" April asked and Splinter sighed. "I've also been practicing the moves you taught me!" April smiled.
"You've been practicing ninjitsu? Yea right! No wayyyyyyy!" Casey laughed as he patted April on the back. She glared at him grabbed his hand and threw him on the ground right in front of her. "What do you think, Casey Jones?" April smiled stepping on his chest. May busted out laughing. "GO AUNT APRIL!" Casey struggled up, "Well you know I could have stopped ya. I just… I didn't want to hurt ya." He dusted off his body. May continued to laugh at him.
"I hate to put any of you at risk but, only a fool ignore fate and the gift that it offers." Splinter smiled.
"Well if you want strange gifts, they don't come any stranger than Casey Jones." April winked her eye and nudged Casey.
"Ew. Are you guys flirting!" May giggled. The two glared back at May and she smiled. "What?" She asked and ran behind splinter. He lead them back to the garage room. "These are some suits Donatello had made specificly for each of you in case you three were ever in battle with us for any reason. Now seems like a good time for each of you to put this on." Splinter handed each of them a pile of clothes. May held up the shirt and frowned. "You've got to be kidding me! This is so ugly!" She whined. "Just put it on May!" April walked back to the lair and headed for the bathroom.
May ran up the ladder and went into the first of the turtles rooms, Donny's, to change. She took off her clothes, put on the full black under body suit, climbed through the giant dark blue pants, and threw on the matching long-sleeved top. The suit was full of pockets and had gadgets throughout the pockets and around the belts and what not. "Well at least he put a lot of effort into this." May smiled. She walked out and down the ladder and walked over to her suitcase by the couch. She pulled out her brush and brushed through her golden blonde hair and placing a black bandana behind her ears. She thought about putting on her favorite red one, but decided against it since she would need to be hidden to surprise the Triceritons and the red might give her away.
She sat on the couch and laced up the boots Donny made and then walked over to Casey and Splinter. "Come on Aunt April! Let's get a move on!" She knocked on the bathroom door.
April stepped out with the same outfit the other two wore, "Okay. Ready!" She smiled. "After you, sensei." May smiled and followed the leader.
They came to a man hole and master splinter lifted the cover off the ground floor. "Now listen, the way of invisibility takes a lifetime to master. Circumstances require us to train as we go. Observe and learn." He climbed out and jumped around and into the shadow of the alley way. May nodded and followed in Splinter's path. April did the same and quietly she stood beside her niece. "That don't look too hard." Casey mumbled and stumbled out of the man-hole and knocking into a trash can that rolled around the street.
"Good going, egg head!" May whispered.
The Triceritions hovering above in their space suites flew over to the spot. Splinter grabbed April and Casey's hand and May knew to follow him. Then they were all propped up against the wall with master splinter in front covering April and May's mouth with his hands, and Casey's with his tail.
The Triceritions thought for a moment where the noise could have come from and they decided the man-hole was the reason. They then began to shoot at the hole until it became a crater. They then flew into the hole and started to search for the "noise".
After the Triceritions left, the four made their way to the docks of the river, keeping to the shadows the whole time. They looked up and saw the Tricerition space ship being attacked by many smaller space ships in the sky. "Geeze what is going on around here?" May asked. "We must not get distracted. Let's continue." Splinter walked away as May followed.
"Mannnn, I wish I had my hockey mask. I feel kinda naked without it on." Casey rubbed his chin. "I don't know. I like being able to see your face for a change." April smiled up at him and held his hand. May and Splinter turned around. "Ugh! Grossssssssss!" May growled and Splinter cleared his throat. "I said we must not get distracted."
Just then April's tracker started to beep. "Well, the good news is, the signal from the guy's shell cell is less than a mile away. The bad news is that it's across the river." She pointed to the bridge that had collapsed.
"Well then, we've gotta find another way to cross. How bout this?" May pointed to a wooden boat.
Casey ran over and pushed it out so that the rest could get on. May climbed in first and found the oars and gave them to Casey as he climbed in last.
"Aw I don't want to row." He pouted. May laughed, "Row row row your boat gently down the stream!" She sang. He continued as April looked at her tracker once more. "Well the guys haven't moved in a while so that must mean they are either being held captive, or they are unconscious."
"Yea, either that or they're…" Casey started. May gasped, and pouted at him along with April and Splinter. "Um, never mind."
May kicked him in the shin and then looked back at the space ships that were fighting. "I hope they are okay." She whispered. Just then the Tricerition space ship was blasted from the smaller ones and fell right into the water! "Um, Master Splinter! What can you teach us to do about that!" May pointed to the huge tidal wave that was heading for them. They all hugged each other as the wave toppled over them.
May felt weightless as she floated to the bottom of the river, she opened her eyes and saw Splinter's tail floating above her. She pushed through the water and finally made her way to the air gasping a huge breath as she did. April came up next, but no Casey. "Casey?" April said nervously, "Casey!" She shouted a second time. Still Casey did not arrive. April dove into the water and as May started to dive in after, Master splinter held her back. April arrived again from the water, this time with an unconscious Casey Jones in her arms.
She and Master Splinter pulled him to the dock that May stood on and April hovered over top of him. "Breathe Casey!" She started to hit his stomach. "Breathe!" She desperately yelled and then breathed air into his mouth. She let go of his face and he coughed up all the water in his lungs. April smiled and hugged Casey and he laughed. "So. It looks like this kissing this is starting be to a habit."
April threw him back to the ground and crossed her arms. "Ewwwwwwwww!" May mocked once more and then tousled Casey's hair.
April's tracker started to beep again. "Come on follow me." She stood and watched the tracker as she walked. May helped Casey up. "Do you have brain damage, Casey? Or are you just abnormally dumb?" She asked. "Uhhh. Neither!" He smiled and followed April and Splinter. May shook her head. "I say both."
The group made their way to an abandoned warehouse district right on the river. April stopped when she got into an alleyway between the buildings. "I don't get it. It says that we should be right on top of them. But there is nothing here!"
"Nothing on the surface, perhaps, but what about below ground." Master splinter thought a loud. Casey rubbed his chin. "Ya know, when I was drowning I was heading toward a bright light!" "Oh please. Don't be so dramatic. That's May's job." April commented and May giggled. "No really! There really was a bright light under there!" He claimed again.
"Perhaps an underwater entrance?" Master Splinter thought for a moment and then dived into the water again. May took a big breath and then followed Master Splinter into the water. The group swam to the bottom and sure enough there was a huge entrance with a light streaming from it.
May could feel her breath shortening and she quickly rose to the surface and gasped in more air. They found themselves in a huge docking room for the boats and guards all around the area.
"How are we going to get past those guards, Sensei?" May asked. Splinter then threw his walking stick to the other side of the boat and just as planned the guards followed to the sound of where the stick landed in the water.
Splinter then jumped into the darkness ran around and kick all the guards butt's completely by surprise.
"Well that's one way to do it." May laughed getting out of the water. She ran over to one of the knocked out guards and grabbed his gun. "Aw man. Ya hogged all the goons!" Casey joked as he and April hoped out from the water. April did the same as May and took two guns from the two knocked out guards. "Well there are plenty more where they came from." She handed Casey a gun. "Would you like one Master Splinter?" She asked. "No thank you, Miss O'Neil. It will only slow me down."
They continued along the path and found their way to a corridor. April's tracker started to beep faster, indicating that they were closer to the turtles. They turned the corner and saw a guard at the end of the hallway and then quickly hid back so that they would not be seen. Thank goodness that he was not paying attention at that time.
Master Splinter looked at May. "Miss Gibson?" She smiled and then rolled over in front of the guard and shot at the light shattering it immediately and causing no visible light for the guard to do anything. Master Splinter came over then and knocked-out another guard. "Master Splinter 5, Guards 0!" May smiled and followed through the door with Splinter behind. "She's good." Casey said in awe to April who just shook her head at her egg-headed boyfriend.
They closed the door and saw nothing but what looked like storage space. "They are not here." Splinter stated disappointed as the tracker beeped even faster. "Yo April, I don't think that tracker of yours is working too well." Casey said. April paid no attention and followed it to a closet. She opened the door and sure enough the turtles shell cells were inside. "I'd say it's working just fine." She smiled back at him.
Along with the turtle's phones, their weapons were included as well. Master splinter sniffed the air. "Wait, they are near. We must continue to search the facility."
"Well, let's not leave empty handed then." May grabbed a bag out from one of her side pockets and put the turtle's stuff inside.
"Hey, what's this thing?" Casey grabbed an object and started to spray whatever it did. It sprayed a huge amount of smoke right into all of their faces and thankfully, Splinter took it away from him. "That is something best left out of your hands, Casey Jones!"
They made their way out of the room and continued to follow down the path. Just as they thought they were in for the clear, Splinter stopped all of them. He sniffed the air, "this hallway is leading with danger." Splinter took out the device Casey had played with earlier and sprayed the hall. Just then green laser beam looking things surrounded the entire hallway. "We must execute our movement with absolute precision." Splinter leaped into action, jumping this way and the next, and eventually making his way out of the maze.
"My turn!" May cracked her knuckles and then jumped around the same path Splinter had just done. Thank god she had done gymnastics when she was little or else this would have been harder than hell. She made her way to Splinter and then thought about something. 'How the hell is Casey going to do this!'
April made her way through and then Casey was the last. He jumped up and landed on his back. "We are doomed." May whispered.
"Come on Casey, you can do it!" April encouraged him as he got up and fell once more. "I know you can do this, Casey!" Splinter encouraged him. He crouched down and jumped out of the hallway. "Oh my god, he did it." May said in shock. Casey stood up and smiled. But with that, Don's bow on the back of Casey fell from its position and caused an alarm to go off. "Oops." Casey said as May ripped off a vent cover for them to hide in. "In here!" She motioned and all of them crammed in the tiny space. Casey put back the cover just in time because right then guards surrounded the whole area.
They crawled on their hands and knees through wires and gadgets sticking out everywhere. "There sent, it grows stronger." Splinter sniffed again. "There they are!" He whispered and stopped the group.
Just then May heard a buzz-saw sound and then a creepy voice talking. "For the scarifies you are about to make, your country thanks you Michelangelo."
Splinter raised the gate to the vent and then jumped out just in time. "NO!" He yelled and the three jumped out after.
May looked ahead and saw a man in a black suit with glasses and a blade in his hand in front of Mikey who was tied down on a steel bed. "Another mutation?" The man questioned and then pulled Mikey next to him and raised the blade to his head. "Stop them at once!" He yelled to his guards and they raced after the group.
Splinter went into kick-butt mode and kicked the daylights out of the guards in front of him and to the man that was about to hurt Mikey.
Casey and April took out four guards surrounding the back areas, while May turned around and worked on getting the turtles out of the beds. She pulled out a knife from another pocket and cut through Don's and Leo's.
"Geeze Master Splinter. Talk about cutting it close!" Mikey laughed as Splinter released him and then Raph.
"We can't leave without the fugitiod!" Donny reminded the gang.
"Don't worry, we won't!" Leo commented back. While Mikey ran over to help their other mutated crocodile friend, May nudged to Casey. "Their stuff!" She pointed to the back but was then interrupted by the doors being thrown open and more guard popping out from it.
April and Casey ran towards and started to kick some of the guards butt until May threw a little object out into the area.
"Pull back!" She said and ran behind a wall. Smoke filled the area as the smoke bomb thing set off.
"Hey wake up Raphy! Christmas came early this year!" Casey threw the bag with their things to the turtles.
"Haha, yea! Thank you santa!" Raph laughed as he twirled his sais in his hands.
The turtles leaped into the fight and started to fight the new coming guards. Some guards ran other fell out unconscious, but as the smoke cleared the only person besides the gang was the man in the suit.
"Let's take care of this guy, and get outta here! We need to find the fugitiod!" Raph commanded.
"Hey Bishop! Do you want a genetic sample?" Mikey ran over to the man and started to fight. But unbelievably, the man was super strong and locked Mikey right back into the steel bed again. He kicked the blade from earlier off the ground and held it to Mikey's head again. "Anyone moves, and you can say goodbye to Michelangelo!" Bishop threatened. "You should have learned by now, I always mean what I say."
Mikey kicked Bishop with his freed foot and he flew back. "And you should have learned by now to never keep your eyes off of me!" Mikey released himself from the bed. The turtles rampaged into the area and they began to fight Bishop, 4 against 1. May thought this would be an easy task, but she was proved wrong as each and everyone started to fall. Casey ran over to Bishop and started to fight and it looked promising, until Bishop took a tazer out and shocked Casey from behind. April ran over to him and started to fight Bishop but Don got in the way and fought him instead.
May kept to the shadowy areas and observed the whole situation. She waited until Bishop got into the right position to execute her plan. Finally, he stood in the exact spot! She threw a smoke bomb can at his head. He caught it almost inches away from his face and squeezed the can until it broke. "Is that the best-" May didn't even let Bishop finish before she shot a bullet down by his legs.
It got him and he screamed out in pain. "Direct hit!" May whispered. She stood up and then noticed that Bishop was running right towards her even with a gunshot wound! She didn't even have time to scream as he caught the back of her shirt and threw her down to the ground.
"Help.." was all she could mumble out as Bishop looked at her with an evil gleam in his eye.
