Yay! This Chapter is up finally! I'm so excitied because this came to my head while I was bored at work one day. I was thinking of every single detail before I wrote it and a part of this is actually inspired by the Musical Phantom of the Opera. There is a song excerpt from it and 'the man' is basically like the phantom! This is a long chapter so I hope you like it and ready to write reviews!

Friday night
"So dudes, how in world are we gonna find this guy exactly? What if she's just...ya know. Crazy?" Mikey asked Raph and Don while they waited on a rooftop.
"May wouldn't lie 'bought somethin like dis." Raph smacked the back of his head and looked out in the night sky.
"I think she is having a bit of a melt down from a couple of weeks ago, but last night she said this guy told her where to find him." Donny rubbed his chin curious as to who the heck this guy was.
"Yea I remember wha she said, 'Follow the green light.' a lotta good that does in the freakin city of lights." Raph crossed his arms and watched silently as Leo and May emerged from another rooftop. She signaled for the others to follow.
May glided across the rooftops of the city with her friends following behind her. Even though the man hadn't been talking to her directly, she could feel something telling her to go this way. She ran, flipped, even used her Kusari chain to reach other rooftops as quickly as she could. Suddenly she stopped on a roof ledge holding her arm out for the others to stop as well.
"There." she pointed down to the docks at an abandoned wear house.
"You sure?" Mikey looked down noticing the familiar area. Him and his bro's had fought the purple dragons down this way before.
May threw the chain onto a lamp post latching and pulling on it to secure her landing. "Positive." She grunted correcting her footing for her jump off the ledge but halted when a green hand stopped her.
"Whoever this person is, they are more than likely dangerous and wanting to get a hold of you," Donny pushed her backwards. "Let us go in first." he nodded and flipped downwards. May sighed and looked back at the only turtle left standing to her side.
"Ready mike?" She smiled as she and he both aimed for the floor.
The turtles and May had sneaked around the entire wear house still looking for a place to bust in. They hadn't found a good spot yet.
"I say we just bust through da walls." Raph growled as the group huddled.
"Oh yea Raph, very stealthy." Leo whispered.
"Why we playing spy? I thought we were here to kick some shell?" he whisper-yelled back.
May had been quiet during their search afraid to let the man back into her head since they had been so close to his wearabouts. She looked past the boys at a hole in the corner of the wall that had been boarded up very messily. Staring through the opening she tried to see if she could make out anything within and just as if her mind had been read, a glowing green orb shined through the darkness of the hole.
"This way... And bring your green friends too..." the man chuckled in her head.
Moaning, she clutch the top of her head trying to fight the man's words from within. "May?" Mikey placed his hand on her shoulder and she stopped. She looked up at the group gasping, "In here!" she pushed past them walking to the hole.
"Uh, I don't think we are going to fit." Mikey stopped her from going through first.
"Nonsense boys, allow me!" May looked over at her friends gasping faces, "You heard him too?" She nodded.
"May!" Mikey held onto her arm as a bright green rope attached to her waist. She screamed for a second and held onto Mikey as tightly as she could feeling her waist being pulled deeper and deeper into the darkness of the room. Panicked, Mikey reached over holding onto Donny's arm but the force was too strong, with in a second, Raph and Leo watched their brothers and the girl they both cared for so deeply, sucked into the room.
Raph beat against the wall. "Let us in! Mikey! Don! May!" he called out while Leo cut through the boards that magically appeared to regenerate.
"You two...are the strongest of your other brothers..." the voice called out from a distance.
"What da hell did ya do to them! Where da hell are ya!" Raph screamed furious at this point.
Just then a dark shadowy figure appeared from the hole, pushing back the boards as if they were door. "Right here, Raphael."
Leo and Raph turned around to face the man. He wore a black tuxedo suit with a matching top hat. On his hands he wore white gloves and held in his hand a black cane with a glowing green diamond on the top. "Ah and Leonardo. Such a wonderful duo. If only you all could decide who gets the girl." the man lifted his hat off and combed his gloved fingers through his dark, almost black hair.
"Whada you talkin bout?" Raph dug his nails into the red Leather ribbon around his sais.
The man chuckled and placed his top hat back on. "I'll tell you what. How about I take her for you two turtle gentlemen." it was then that the two realized he was talking about May.
Leo raised his swords to the man's neck making an X. "Don't you touch her..." he growled low only for the man to hear.
"Ah the eldest brother always trying to keep the others in order has a bit of a temper I see..." he laughed not even completely fazed by the swords itching to slice his neck. "This shall make for great fun." He laughed and swung his cane making Leo in moveable.
"Wha?" Raph felt the cane hit hid head and then felt a green rope wrap around his wrist. Another did the same for the frozen Leo.
"To da loo. It's time for me to meet my date." the man smiled as the two disappeared into the darkness.
"May? Oh please wake up..." Mikey moaned holding the girl in his lap. "Don you see anything?" he called out to his brother through the stone tunnel.
No answer.
"Donny!" Mikey called out again and screamed like a girl when May's sudden moan came from below. "Whoah, you scared me..." he smiled as May sat up rubbing the top of her head. "Wha happened?" she adjusted her ponytail.
"We fell down into this tunnel. Donny told me to watch and hold onto you while he went to search around, so far he hasn't said anything..." he gulped.
May smiled and crawled out of his lap, "Thanks..." she kissed his cheek and then stood up brushing her black ninja suit off of dust.
"What should we do? Donny said to stay here and wait for him while he went that way." he stood up facing her and pointed to his right.
"Well if he went that way, we should too."
"I don't know... Don said to stay here pretty sternly..."
"Come on Mike, we gotta make sure Donny isn't being attacked or anything since you've been waiting for him for so long." she nodded walking forwards when a hand rested on her shoulder, "I just wanna make sure nothing takes you away." he smiled in defense. She grinned back as the two pressed forwards.
'What kind of sick joke is this place?' Donny stood in a room filled with all types of pictures of injured women taped onto the walls. 'this man is insane... And he's after May...I hope he didn't do this to these women.' he looked away from a picture of a naked lady with her legs cut off at her knees.
He backed out of the room, he just had to make sure Mikey had a close watch on the blonde girl, or else...he didn't even want to imagine the thought of her like the lady in the picture. He shuddered and closed the door drowning the thoughts away.
"Hello there Donatello."
Opening his eyes, Donny looked up at a well dressed man in a suit and top hat sneering in front of him.
"This place will test your mental strength. You out of all of your brothers are the most mentally stable. After all of the operations you have performed on your brothers and your friends you still manage to laugh along with the others. If it weren't for that goody good two shoes, you'd be the leader of the group," the man walked towards him causing Donny to back into the door.
"But no, Leonardo has to be the leader because he is better, wiser, and more courageous than you, eh Donatello?" he laughed holding a cane in the air.
Donny had closed fists about to strike when the man held his cane out ready for the attack. "You can't even touch me." he smirked.
'I'll show you...' Don quickly reached for his staff and swung it in the air blocking all of the attacks from the man.
"Leonardo and Raphael are the better fighters. Even Micelangelo, the idiot, is a better fighter than you." the man kicked Donny in the plastron and sent him flying into the wall.
He spat out blood from his mouth and pushed himself up with the help from his Bo staff.
"I have a secret for you though." the man threw his cane on the floor and lifted Donny to his face by his belt. "I'm not the one that will kill you tonight. No no, that job is left for someone else." he snickered and then threw Donny back to the floor, laughing harder now as he stepped over Don's body and then faded down the hallway.
Donny sat up holding back his tears. 'He's doing this so you'll turn on your brothers...' he thought about how weak of a fighter he really was but shook his head at the thoughts. He then gasped at the last thing the man said. 'May...he's going to use May to kill us...' he stood up, brushed the dirt and blood off of his figure and ran down the hallway to where he had left Mikey.
Mikey and May felt like they had been walking down the hall for weeks, it never seemed to end. "This is crazy, there's no way this can be in that raunchy little old wear house." May growled while still walking forwards. Mikey nodded, "Yea and I'm starting to get hungry."
They continued walking in silence.
"Hey May?" Mikey broke the eluding silence.
"Yes?"
"Do you really love Leo?" he half whispered. He had always wondered but never had the right opportunity to ask her such a thing. May sighed hating the question and cursing herself for doing this to their family.
"I do Mike, but I love all four of you. You all are my best friends and I mean it. I just, have a special soft spot for him, that's all..." she nodded liking her answer.
"So you don't like Raph then?"
May stopped and crossed her arms. "He put you up to this didn't he!" she frowned.
"Actually no, but May, he talks about you all the time. I mean all the time. When your not in the lair and he and I are playing video games he start saying remarks about what you would say and he even told me he had never felt so bad when he sliced your arm in practice the other day. I know you already chose Leo and I'm happy for him n all, but could you at least talk to Raph? For me?"
By this time he had still continued on in the hopes that she was following. "I think of you as a sister, that's all because, well you are my sister and I love you just as much as I do my brothers. Please May can you do this for your brother-?" he stopped to turn around and face her.
"M-May?" but she was out of sight. "Aw shell..."
May moaned at the bright green light that shined in her face. Mikey had been telling her something about Raph and then just before she faded away she could hear him telling her that she had become a sister to him. The feeling of having a brother again overwhelmed her and as she closed her eyes to stop the crying, she somehow faded into this damp and cold room.
She attempted to get out of the chair she sat in, but a hand on her chest pulled her back down.
"We finally meet, my sweet little May Flower." the man she had seen in her dreams spoke, the man with the top hat and cane was now standing in front of her.
"Yes, we do." She snarled and stared into his face. "What is your name? I want to say it to you when I kill you." she raised a ninja star from her belt to her face ready to throw it at the man.
"Ahhh, we will have to save that talk for another time my dear flower, right now, I need to sing..." he smirked and took a deep breath.
"Nighttime sharpens, and heightens the sensation, darkness stirs and wakes imagination, silently the senses abandon their defenses.."
May felt woozy as he sang to her. His voice was calming, like nothing she had heard before.
"slowly, gently, night unfolds it splendor. Grasp it sense it, tremulous and tender, turn your face away from the garish light of day, turn your face away from the garish light of day, turn your thoughts away from calm and feeling light..."
He placed his gloved hand over her entire face as he sang this verse. She wanted desperately to remove his nasty five fingered hand but her body wouldn't move, she could only dig at the arms of the chair with her fingernails.
"And listen to the music of the night. Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams, purge your thoughts of the life you knew before..."
She closed her eyes as she felt her body becoming cold, the thought about the turtles, master splinter, Casey, Aunt April. They were fading from her. she opened her eyes as she tried to fight off his power. Instead, he simply closed her eye lids for her as he continued to sing.
"Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!"
He raised his cane with the now brightly green glowing diamond over her mouth. Still with her eyes closed she opened her mouth slightly as he pulled out some of her breath into his cane.
"and you'll live as you've never lived, before..."
He smiled devilishly as he had complete control over her body now. She was a puppet, yes, still alive, but without a soul.
"softly, deftly, music shall caress you, hear it, feel it, secretly posses you, open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind, in this darkness which you know you can not fight...the darkness of the music of the night."
He smiled and picked the lifeless girl up to her feet. With her hands in his he lead her over to a window overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge. He placed her in front of his body and hugged her chest, pulling her back towards his front while he sang his lullaby some more,
"let your mind start a journey through a strange new world, leave your thoughts of the life you knew before!"
He turned her around and placed his hands on her face cupping her cheeks to look into her glimmering bright green eyes.
"Let your soul take you where you long to be!"
He rang out as more of her breath disappeared from her mouth and into the cane. Now he had absolute control over the girl. He kissed her mouth furiously, he had waited what seemed like an entirety to do so. He pulled back at her blank stare and whispered.
"Only then can you belong...to me..."
He let go of her face.
"Floating, foiling, sweet intoxication, touch me, trust me, savior the sensation..."
he placed her right hand on his waist and her left on his strong firm chest loving the way her hands felt against the fabric of his clothes.
"Let the dream begin, let your...darker side give in. To the power of the music that I write."
He smiled and kissed her once again.
"The power of the music of the night!"
he raised his cane in the air causing May's feet to rise off of the floor. A green smoke engulfed her floating body for a couple of seconds before sparkles cleared the dust away as she floated back to a standing position in front of the man. Now, Instead of wearing her ninja suit, she stood in front of him lifelessly with a skimpy green belly dancer outfit. The green and gold bra shimmered in the moonlight while a light green fabric danced behind and wrapped around her arms magically. A matching see through fabric skirt stopped right below her knees and barely covered her butt in the back. Her now long and curly blonde hair wrapped around her face perfectly.
He stood there admiring her beauty in the outfit and then threw himself on her wildly, forcing his tongue in during a kiss. He pulled back smirking at his lifeless puppet, she was his and his alone.
"You alone, can make my song take flight."
He placed his hands on the sides of her stomach, as he pushed her up against the window forcing bite marks all around her neck. Her skin felt so good in his mouth that he knew she was the one he had been waiting for. He towered over her whispering the last phrase of his song in her ear.
"Help me make..."
A bed appeared to the wall next to them
"the music of the..."
He motioned with his head for her to walk over there.
"...night!"
Raph felt his entire face boil as he and Leo walked down an old bricked wall tunnel; there was nothing around, no sounds being made and somewhere his brothers and May were lost in this creeps chamber.
He growled and punched his fist into the wall on his right.
"Calm down Raphael. We need to figure out a way to escape this place." He removed his brothers fist from against the wall. "And we might have to fight this creep, so don't go breaking your hand just yet!" he muttered.
Raph grunted and continued to walk alongside his brother, "Yea yea, guess you right." just then he heard his shell cell going off. Both he and Leo stopped as he answered and turned the phone on speaker.
"Hey Donny, I got some Uh, bad newssss...I Uh kinda lost May."
Raph tightened his grip of the small piece of technology. "Whada ya mean ya lost her!" he growled trying to contain himself.
"Mikey, where are you and why weren't you with Don?" Leo took the phone from his boiling brothers hand.
"Awww shell, whoops, sorry wrong number!" He screeched in a terrible Chinese accent.
"Mikey!" Leo and Raph simultaneously yelled.
"Ahggggg, I don't know. I was just walking around this tunnel with May and then she just...disappeared. Donny left to go search for a way out, but he took to long and May wanted to-"
"Why would you separate from Donny!" Leo demanded.
"May was knocked out, and Donny told told me to stay there and watch her until she woke up... I guess I shouldn't have let May talk me into walking around. I'm sorry..." Mikey apologized to his older brothers.
"Mikey try to find Donny, we will track you with the phone. Call the Donny-the right number this time." Leo ordered and hung up.
"Hey you think we can track her using her shell cell?" Raph wondered aloud at the idea.
Leo nodded, "We can try!" he pulled up the turtle tracker app Donny programed on each phone. "Damn, it says she's back in the lair...guess she must have left it." Leo cursed.
"Yea but look, Mikey is just around the corner, and Don is around the corner from him..." Raph and Leo looked up and down the hallway. "But this hallway continues straight. How can we-"
"I told your brother earlier, this place will test your mental abilities..."
Leo and Raph looked around the dark hallway but could not find the man from before earlier. "You have to will yourself to get there...if you can do that, than clearly you cannot have my little May Flower."
Raph growled, "Where did you take her you creep!"
The man's voice laughed, "She's safe and sound...in my arms. To da loo gentlemen!"
Leo closed his eyes trying to control his anger for the man. 'you have to will yourself to get there, huh?' Leo opened his eyes to stare back at his angered brother. Taking a deep sigh, he imagined all three of his brothers, himself, May and the man in a room similar to the healers pavilion at the battle nexus.
He hadn't a clue why that type of room appeared to him, but it did and just like magic, he opened his eyes to the actual sight he had just dreamed up.
"Woah, what the heck just happened?" Mikey rubbed his head.
"Leo, Raph! Guys we have to- hey where's May?" Donny searched through the bunch to find the girl.
"Shell-for-brains lost her!" Raph punched Mikeys arm.
"Ow, hey I-" Mikey was about to argue back but stopped and turned around to the sound of a slow steady clap.
"Excellent job Leonardo. You have such a strong will..." The man in the top hat smirked while he held his cane between under his right arm.
"Where is she?" Leo gritted through his teeth while he and his brothers held out their weapons ready to attack.
"I told you, she is safe with me." His smile grew on his smug face turning from creepy to down right evil. He released his cane, holding it in his hand and touched the ground as the green diamond sparkled. "Oh my little May Flower...come out come out where ever you are!"
A green light shined from the floor where the diamond had been touching and from out of the light a females body formed turning more and more until May's outline could be made. The man tapped the floor once again and pulled the cane away revealing May in a very skimpy green belly dancer outfit.
Her eyes were glowing the same color green as the man's diamond and then suddenly the glowing stopped as she smiled at the group almost 'coming back alive'
"Ahha, such a beauty, no?" the man picked up a lock of the blonde's long blonde now curly hair and sniffing it.
"What did you do to her?" Leo yelled knowing the real May would have at least fought back against the man, or would have at least told the others to help.
The man snaked his hand around May's well defined waist rubbing her stomach as if he had been with May for years. Like he had owned her.
"I've only convinced her that she is to be with me and to forget about everything she has done in her life before." he laughed at the sky and brushed away a tear in his eye. "She doesn't even remember her own name, nonetheless you all!"
Raph had had enough of the man's voice he threw both of his sias at the man but just as they were about to hit him, May reached for the two weapons and pulled them to her chest stopping them from hurting the man.
The look in her eyes was terrifying as she stared down the turtles with a blank stare. The fabric of her skirt flowed and the dangles hanging from her top chimed as she threw the two sais to the ground.
"Hmmmm. I said this place with test your abilities...let's see how well you can hit a girl, hm Raphael?"
The man raised his cane in the air and a green light surrounded May's body once again. Her green belly dancer outfit suddenly grew and wrapped around the rest of her body forming into a replica of her black and pink ninja suit. Only this time it was green and the sleeves covered her arms completely.
"I ain't gonna fight her." Raph un clenched his fist letting his arms rest by his sides.
"Hmmm, well then." the man walked forwards to May placing a gloved hand on her shoulder, "May, roughen them up just a bit will you?" her eyes shined a bring green color and then they faded back as her head ripped around and she charged full speed towards Raph.
She kicked him in the gut and and then held his head downwards as her knee made contact with his face.
Not wanting to hurt her like he had done before during their one-on-one fight a few days ago, he tensed his body and let her kick him repeatedly.
Mikey pulled her collar backwards in the attempts of stopping her, but she clutched his wrist and threw him over her shoulder.
"Did I mention I have complete control over her body right now? Even if she wanted to stop, she couldn't. Oh and she also has 100% more strength than she usually does." he laughed as she confirmed his statement when she threw Mikey. "Have fun boys!" the man sat on a chair that appeared from out of nowhere.
Scared Donny hit her backwards with his staff, but she simply flipped her way back until she regained her footing. She held out her hands and suddenly her Kusari made it's way into her hands as she swung it in the air.
"May stop!" Mikey cried out but then screamed as she latched onto his wrist with the chain of her weapon and pulled him forwards. She laughed as she kicked him in the face and released her grip from the chain on his body.
"You wanna fight Missy! I'll give ya a fight!" Raph snuck behind her and wrapped his arms around her torso. He heard her growl and then he felt her motion backwards and then felt his shell hitting the concrete floor in front of her. Wanting to finish him off, she raised her scythe blade upwards but lucky for Raph, Leo intervened defending her attack with his katana.
"There's got to be a part of you somewhere in there!" He whispered looking into her snarling face. It was then he noticed her eyes were not the sky blue that they had always been, now they were black, empty. As if she were a doll or a puppet. He closed his eyes and then using all of his might threw his swords backwards and allowing her to loose her footing.
With out hesitation he used the back of his sword to hit her across the chest and pushing her away from his brothers, "May please, come back to life!" he yelled out as his brothers watched praying Leo could talk some sense into the girl.
"Its no use! She is empty I told you!" the man called out from the far side of the room.
Leo looked back at the girl as she spat out blood and then growled as she swung her scythe blade in the air. Leo held his Katana tightly as he defended off all of her attacks while she pushed him back to his brothers.
Donny shook his head, "We can't hurt her, but she wants to hurt us."
"Yea it's like she a video game fighter or something since that guy is controlling her."
Leo's ears perked up at Mikeys comparison, "Mikey switch places quick!" he yelled out as he dropped his swords and ran to his brothers. Mikey nodded nervously and hit May's Kusari away from the others using his nunchucks.
"Leo! What are you-?" Raph began to question his brother but stopped as he watched him charge for the man in the back.
"You said your making her do this, so now I'll stop you!" he threw his swords in the air ready to slice them across the man's body. But the man was quick and blocked the swords inches away from killing him with the use of his cane.
"Very smart indeed, I can see why she chose you." he whispered and threw Leo off.
"Come on Donny!" Raph pushed his brother forwards and ran towards Leo to fight the man.
"Oh great I guess that just leaves me and you to dance." Mikey kicked May backwards but she rolled on the floor and threw herself back up.
Mikey swung his chucks while his brothers attacked the man behind him. "May please, stop! I'm sorry I got separated from you, but you have to come back to us! Please!" she continually attacked the youngest turtle.
"Remember all of the adventures we've had together! Going to the movies, hanging out at the farm house, playing video games all night, the battle nexus championship! Come on May, remember please! Its me Mikey, your battle nexus champion!"
Suddenly, she stopped and dropped her weapon. "M-Mi-Mikey?" she whispered. Her voice didn't sound the same.
"Damn, your brother..." the Man kicked Don in the gut as he noticed his control on May loosening, "I have to take matters into my own hands." he stepped back holding his cane in the air but a sai threw it into the floor below. "No!" the man gasped as Leo pushed him farther away from the cane.
"May please! It's me Mikey, your brother! Look at your right hand, that ring on your finger is a reminder of us, your best friends! Please! Come back." he watched her hold her hand up to her face and noticed her eyes fade from the cold lifeless black into the warm welcoming blue.
"Mikey, I-" she smiled but screamed bloody murder out of nowhere.
Mikey looked back and noticed the man laughing as Leo hit him continuously. He looked back at May as watched in terror as her body looked like it was being elecrutied by a green lightening bolt.
"May!" he held onto her just before she fell to the floor. She continued to scream as the green light around her strengthened.
"What are you doing to her!" Leo screamed at the man and then looked back to his girl as Mikey laid her in his lap.
"Mike. El. An. Gel. Ohhhhh!" May screamed even louder as she held onto his arm digging her fingernails into his green skin.
Leo looked back at the man and punched his left temple knocking him out cold.
By this time, Donny and Raph had retreated to Mikey side, holding her down from all of the twisting and curling her body had against the pain.
"Donny! Help!" Mikey yelled even though his brother had been sitting right next to him.
Just then the light around her faded and with it, so did her scream.
"May?" Mikey cried holding the back of her neck closer to his face. "M-May?" there was nothing. Not even a breath coming from her mouth. "Donny!" Mikey couldn't contain his tears as they slid down his face, "She's not breathing! You gotta help her!"
Jumping into action, Don placed one of his fingers on her neck pressing hard.
"Stop crying Mikey...she'll, she'll...she'll be alright!" Raph choked out.
Donny released his upper body as he shook his head. "Nothing." he whispered.
"LEO!" Raph screamed to the leader hoping he'd have the answer, but not a word escaped from his mouth. Leo stood there with his katanas falling to the floor echoing loudly in the quiet room. The only other sound came from Mikey as he tried his best to contain his emotions.
Leo looked to the right of the man at the cane stuck between his brothers sai. Every time he commanded her to do something the diamond glowed brighter and brighter...' Leo thought and then wondered, 'he also lost his ability to fight as soon as he lost it...that must be how he controls this place. It's his power!'
Without a second thought, Leo ran over to the cane pulling the sai containing the cane out of the ground. He grunted and then smashed the diamond top on the floor and watched as the pieces scattered around him.
Suddenly everything around the room started to spin around him and the others into a blend of colors. He closed his eyes as the wind whipped his bandana end in his face and then blinked as the wind died down and the colors fade away turning the scene into an old abandoned storage wear house.
He looked back hoping May would be fine, that she would giggle like she usually would do and pretend it was all a big game, but she did nothing. Her clothes faded back into her ninja suit complete with the Kusari latched on her belt.
"May? Please wake up..." Mikey hugged her motionless body while his hands holding her back and neck started to shake.
Leo wanted to cry, to give up all hope. If she was lost, what else would drive him forwards. He couldn't bear the reality of his world without her in it.
A warm sensation brushed by his cheek as he softly cried. Looking through the tears in his bandana he jumped back at a green glowing ball floating in front of him.
He turned back around at the man, he still continued to lay there unconscious. Leo looked back but the ball gracefully glided towards his brothers. "Donny what is that?" Leo ran behind the light and stopped as it hovered near Mikey and May.
"I think... I think..." Donny leaned into it and then smiled, "Its her! It's her soul!"
Mikey looked up after crying into May's face, he sniffed and then smiled looking into the glowing light. "May, please come back. Don't leave us this soon." He whimpered.
Leo lowered next to Raph and watched as the light 'danced' around Mikey and then slowly lowered itself into May's lifeless body.
All four brothers sat there quietly as the tension in the room builded up as she continued to do nothing.
Without warning, May sat up screaming loudly and threw herself on the back of Mikey's neck holding onto him so tightly that she began to shake.
"May! You're alive!" Mikey cried holding her tightly.
The other three sighed as the heavy weight lifted from off of their big green muscular shoulders.
"May, are you feeling okay!" Donny smiled but his smile faded when she didn't respond. "May?" he tapped her shoulder but she continued to hold on Mikey shaking even more now.
"Hey, dudette, come on we gotta go back home." Mikey rubbed her back but she continued to shake as her breathing increased.
"Mike. El..." she whispered but moaned as her body went limp in his arms.
"May! Wake up!" Raph yelled this time really starting to freak out.
The sound of her breathing onto the back of Mikeys shell relieved the four as they all thanked their lucky stars.
Raph stood up and stormed over to the man still knocked out. He lifted him up by the collar and punched him across the room. "If I eva see this guy awake he's, he's..." Leo placed a calming hand on his shoulder. "Let's go home. And we are taking this joker to the police."
Mikey refused to let May out of his arms as the brothers left the old building. Raph held onto the nameless man and they searched for the first police car to throw him in to. Literally. As soon as Raph saw a parked police car next to a shadowed alley, he threw the man into the windshield cracking it in four different places.
Donny listened as the police freaked out by the fact that an unconscious man had just been thrown into a car, but as soon as the officers had looked past the bruising and glass stained on the man's face, they identified him as the opera rapist.
Donny remembered hearing about this man on the news. He had been raping women that had been coming back from shows, musicals, operas, anything in the city dealing with theater.
"Well that explains that." Don nodded.
"What are you talking about?" Leo crossed his arms.
"Two months ago when we saved May from the purple dragons in Times, she had gone with her friend to see a musical, Chicago, I believe. He must have had seen her there and stalked her since."
"That don't explain his powers though." Raph muttered.
"There's so much that we can't explain in this world. Honestly, I don't know how he controlled her, but I'm sure he did that to all the women-" Don guessedand then stopped as he attempted to finish his theory.
Leo balled his fists tightly, "You don't think he might have..."
Mikey looked up from Mays sleeping face, "Donny, he didn't...he wouldn't have..."
Donatello looked down to the police car from the rooftops. "I don't know...I mean..." he sighed and looked back at his fuming brothers. "All I can hope for is 'no', but with a reputation, I can't say for sure..." he looked over at Leo hoping for a comment that would boost his confidence, but nothing came from it.
Leo sighed and continued on, "Let's go before I get us caught on the news and exposed to the world."
May opened her eyes and stared into the ceiling of her room back at the lair. She blinked a few times and rubbed her eyes trying to get her body back into reality. It was then that reality hit her back and she held onto her stomach as pain shot within it. She moaned trying to fight the pain and then gasped as it settled down.
'What the hell happened?' she thought trying to remember anything. She picked her torso off the bed and sat up Indian style. The cold lair gave her tiny goosebumbs as the thin dark blue tank top provided no warmth to her shoulders. She rubbed her arms, trying to use the friction to warm her back up but sighed in defeat as it did nothing.
Throwing the blankets off the bed, she swung her legs on the edge and stared at the floor. It was like a challenge to attempt to walk across it and retrieve her jacket on the desk across the room. Almost as if the brick on the floor was teasing the fact that it hurt to move.
She pouted and used all of her might to stand up straight. As soon as she obtained her balance, she carefully placed one foot in front of the other taking baby steps to her target. She noticed how quiet it remained outside of her room and she wanted desperately to see her friends and ask them about her situation, but first she needed to retrieve the warmth of her jacket.
She sighed picking up the article of clothing as if she were Indiana Jones and had picked up the gold statue without releasing the giant boulder behind her.
She took a deep breath and continued her journey out of the room continuing to step one foot in front of the other.
"May? What are you doing up!" she heard Donny to her left in the lab. He placed the object in his hands down on the counter and rushed out to help her reach the couch.
"You really shouldn't be up, you should be resting and-" he picked her up and started to give her the usual guilt trip. She weakly placed her palm over his beak and giggled as he blushed by her reaction, "You worry too much."
He placed her down on the couch and kneeled next to her on the floor. "Are you feeling alright? Does anything bother you?" he asked.
May thought about his question closing her eyes and examining her body through her head. "I'm just hungry, everything else is just sore I guess..." She smiled lightly but Don did not return her gesture. Instead he bowed his head as if he had a horrible weight on his shoulders, "What's wrong?" She frowned and rubbed the top of his bald green head.
He looked up with the saddest face he'd ever shown to her, "Do you remember anything?"
May thought about his question and closed her eyes again, "the last thing I remember, Donny, was going to find that guy. You me and Mikey were separated from Leo and Raph and then you separated from me and Mike... And then I remember Mikey talking to me, oh yea he said I was like a sister to him and I got really emotional." She paused and placed her hands in her lap. "I only had one little brother, so to hear him say that I was like his sister threw me off...and then...I remember seeing the man. He...he sat me down on a chair...and then...he...started to sing to me. I was trapped and couldn't move from the spot..." she looked down at him, "That's the last thing I remember." she looked around hoping to see Leo and the others but it remained quiet. "What...what went on? Did we beat him? Is he out of my head?" She whispered moving closer to the genius.
He sighed and gulped before he looked up at her, "May...I..." she noticed his fists tighten and his breathing increase. "He captured you, turned you against us...and he..."
May widened her eyes, how could she have let herself become so vulnerable. "What Donny!" she asked frightened by his state.
Donatello closed his eyes looking the opposite way from his friend. He had to be strong, to tell her face to face. He promised himself that he would tell her before the others, let her know what to do with the information before he went around telling about her life.
"What happened Donatello?" her voice was stern as if she were scolding him for bad behavior.
Donny reached for her hands and held them tightly as he whispered, "May, he took your soul away, making you his puppet. He...he took...your..." he didn't want to say it, it was so awful but he had too before the others came back, "May, he took your virginity away..." he whispered under his breath but loud enough for her to hear. His eyes had been closed as he told her her own fate but he kept his grip on her hands, her cold, small hands.
She let her body slump forwards and relaxed her hands in his, "Donny..." she whispered shamed by the fact that he was the one burdened by her fate, "Donatello...thank you for telling me..." she continued to whisper but cupped her right hand under his green chin, "But...let's keep this our secret." she smiled sweetly at the turtle. "After all, I don't remember anything, so I...really, didn't lose it." she put the pieces of his broken heart back together. "I'm sorry you had to be the one to tell me, but I'm glad you did..." she slid down the couch and hugged him tightly as tears rolled down her shoulder from his eyes.
"Thank you Donny, you are one of the strongest people I know. Please don't let this get to you. Please!" she whispered and pulled back looking down at him. She lowered her head and then smiled looking back at him. "Stop, you don't need your brothers to see okay?" she wiped his tears from off of his face and kissed his cheek.
"May, you are my sister. And if I ever see anyone hurt you like this again...I will kill them." he sternly warned the girl in his over protective voice. She nodded and hugged him tightly, "Thank you Donny, I love you, my brother!" she smiled resting her cloudy head agains his plastron.
They hugged for the moment and then May pulled back to sit back on the couch. Don nodded standing in front of her, "Where are the others?" she asked sweetly.
He wiped the remaining tears away from his face and coughed, "They went to get pizza and wings. They should be back sometime soon."
May watched him walk back to his lab sniffing back and rubbing his eyes, "So I guess how many turtles does it take to bring back pizza huh?" she giggled resting deep into the couch that had one point become her bed.
"Well considering we ordered like, six pies, two boxes of wings, and four boxes of cheesy bread..." May turned around smiling at Mikey's comment,
"Three!" she laughed.
"Wait a minute!" the blonde choked on her third slice of pizza. "Today is Monday! I've been asleep for two and a half days!" she sipped her water down erasing the pizza lodged down her throat. "Did you call April! I'm sure shes freaking out by the phone call from school-"
"We already told her what happened." Leo rubbed her back assuring her they would take care of her.
May sighed and took another bite of her crust. "Man..." she laughed while she chewed, "They are gonna be pissed at me! Only a month in and I've already missed."
Since it was already one thirty in the afternoon, there was no point for May to go to her 2 afternoon classes. She'd rather miss anyways, so for the rest of the evening she laid on the couch and watched movies with the turtles since they had training earlier in the morning.
"What should we watch first?" Mikey rummaged through the movies in the turning cabinet Donny made a while back.
Raph handed May the blanket she requested and she thanked him after he opened it and placed it on her legs. "What about Transformers 3? That movie is like three hours long so it'll take up the rest of the afternoon!" she smiled as the others nodded at her idea.
"Popcorn ready!" Leo held in his arms five bowls and handed them to everyone. He sat on his blue meditation pillow placed in front of the couch in the middle of where May's stomach lied. Don sat on the folding chair to her right and Raph slumped into the soft sofa chair on the left. Mikey on the other hand spread all of his goodness onto his full body pillow in the center of the room with his shell in the air.
"My children, you are watching a movie for the rest of the day?" Splinter walked over to the sitting area.
"Oh no, Sensei, do your stories come on right now? We can watch this another-" May stopped when one of his paws raised in the air.
"Please, may I join you all. My stories have repeats before they air, so I will watch it later."
May giggled and then sat up slowly making room for him on the couch. "Sit here Master Splinter, we can share popcorn since I ate about five slices of pizza and other yummy goodness." she insisted.
"Yea, I didn't know girls ate that much food. You're a pig!" Mikey laughed as the movie started. "Ow!" he rubbed the back of his head as the remote mysteriously flung from May's hands to his cranium.
