Chapter 7

Donatello

"Scarlet?" Don asked confused

"Yeah...Scarlet is a name you know"

Don stared at her with a number of questions in his head. She held out her hand and gave a smile. Don didn't know if he wanted to trust her. She seemed a little crafty. He looked at her closely, Her long red hair, tied in a pony tail. Her white tang top and dirty blue jeans, combat boots, bat in one hand. She reminded him of someone you would see in a typical zombie game.

"Don't worry...I've been in this place for years, I know my way around" She said

Don looked down at her hand, he lifted his and grabbed it. She lifted him up and he stared at her.

"So I'm guessing you're the quiet type?" She gave him a weird look

"No...It's just...I don't know"

"Confused?...Don't worry..I don't bite" She said

What question should he ask first...Who she was? How she got here? How she knew Mikey?

"How do you know Mikey?" He thought it was most important

"Well when i was staying at the asylum, He came in and i could instantly tell he wasn't the darkness-" She started

"Wait..The darkness?"

"The thing going around and causing chaos" She said

"That's Dr. Coplan...Or was "

"What?"

"Well" He thought about it...Did he want to share this information with this girl he just met, she could be fake, but how? Don was to confused to think.

"Wait...I need to know...Who are you and how did you get here?" Don cut to the chase

"I understand...Me and a couple of my friends were walking in New York..Then we came across this weird machine looking thing...so one of my friends messed with it and we ended up here, We tried to stay together as much as possible but it became hard. We didn't trust anyone. So after a while we went our separate ways, And they all died, Except one...I don't know what happened to him" She said

"Wait...Did he have sandy brown hair?" Don asked

"Yeah...How did you-"

"He committed suicide right in front of me" Don said

Her face change majorly, "Oh..."

They was an awkward silence.

"Well after we separated, I was alone for almost three years until Michelangelo found me...He walked in and I finally felt like I wasn't alone anymore...He told me that he had three brothers"

"Yeah...You weren't freaked out by him..or me?" Don asked

"He asked the same question...No actually...But it was new...a ninja turtle" She said

'How did she know we were ninja turtles? I guess Mikey did meet up with her...It would explain how she knew his name, that he had three brothers, and we were ninjas' He thought

He held out his hand, "Donatello"

She smiled and took his hand, "Nice to meet you"

They let go and he looked around.

"So...who is Dr. Coplan?" She asked

"Long story" He said

"We have more than enough time" She said

She had a point.

"Ok" He took a deep breath, "There was a doctor...Dr. Copan...He killed a nurse and a couple other people, He soon became obsessed with killing and had the idea to try and kill everyone, So he released a poison but disguised it as a cure for the common cold, It ended up killing hundreds of people"

Flashes of him and his brothers on the truck ran through his mind, he felt the speed, he felt the adrenaline, he closed his eyes and when he opened them again, he saw Raph and Leo and they were on the back of that truck. He looked around surprised and in shock.

"Donatello?" He heard Scarlet say

He closed his eyes and opened them again and he was back in the office building, staring at Scarlet.

"You ok?"

"Yeah...Yeah I'm fine...Anyway th-the public found out what he did and he became one of the most wanted criminals, So he stole a invention from his friend who was a scientist and intended on killing himself, But when he-"

"HOLD ON" He heard a voice yell, He turned his head and saw the building as they sped by. He turned and saw the black monster chasing them. Then he felt the truck turn sharply to the right. He lost his balance, He looked back around and saw he was leaning up against the wall with Scarlet holding him.

"Are you sure you're ok?" She asked

"Yeah...Yeah...I'm..I'm fine...anyway...He stole the invention and shot himself with it"

"What was the invention made to do?" Scarlet asked

"It's called the IDW, It suppose to disintegrate anything it shot at, But when he shot himself with it, It turned his entire anatomy into a gaseous form and turned him into what you saw"

Scarlet stood silent and brought her hands to her jaw, rubbing it.

"So what's with all these undead people?" Scarlet asked

"Well...We thought we defeated him...but he came back and in anger, He reanimated all his victims that he murdered, and then when me, Mikey and my other brothers were about to leave...Dr. Coplan took Mikey and disguised himself as Mikey...And he came back to the real world with us"

"Wait..he's in the real world now?" Scarlet asked with shock in her face

"Yeah...Leo and Raph, my other brothers, stayed behind and are trying to get rid of him, and i had to come back to get Mikey back" Don said

"Wow" She said as she leaned on wall and slid to the floor.

"I need to find him and bring him back" Don said

She sat in silence, "When Michelangelo came to me...I didn't feel alone anymore...Then he told me he had to look for you guys and he left...When he left...I felt like i was going to be alone forever again...It didn't matter if he was a giant turtle"

He looked down at her face, he saw a look of complete hopelessness, like she has given up all hope. Mikey left her for them, Don didn't want to do that to her again. He held out is hand, She looked up at it and then at him.

"I could use some help" He said

She smiled, took his hand and he lifted her up.

"Thank you" She said

"Don't mention it...Let's go look for Mikey"
