Chapter 19

The next day, Makayla and Morgan were hanging out at Morgan's house watching tv. Then Morgan's dad walked into the room and said, " Girls I need some extra hands at my job because my work partner is out sick!"

Morgan says, " Sure dad." So Makayla, Morgan, and Morgan's dad went to the ice factory where her dad works.

Mr. Shroeder says, " Okay girls what I need you to do is start packing these ice bags in these boxes and stack them on the shelves."

Morgan says, " You got it dad!"

Makayla says, " Sure thing Mr. Shroeder!" Mr. Shroeder walked into another room while Morgan started packing the ice bags into the boxes.

Morgan says, " Okay Makayla start stacking these boxes on the shelves!"

Makayla says, " Can do best friend!" Morgan turned away for a second then she heard a terrifying scream from behind her. Morgan saw Makayla twisting around in the ice auger machine. Morgan let out a blood curdling scream and ran to get her dad.

Mr. Shroeder panicly says, " Morgan what happened?!"

Morgan screams in terror, " Dad it's my best friend Makayla! She got caught in the ice auger!" Morgan and her dad ran into the other room to save Morgan's best friend's life. By the time they pulled Makayla out of the machine she was not breathing.

Mr. Shroeder shouted, " Somebody call 911 now!" Another employee ran to the phone and dialed 911. After the call to 911 they made another call to OSHA. 15 seconds later the E.M.S people and agents from OSHA showed up at the factory. Morgan was sobbing with tears and she buried her face into her father's shoulder. Morgan pulled out her shell cell and called Leonardo.

Leonardo says, " Morgan what's wrong? Why are you upset?"

Morgan cries and says, " It's your sister! She got badly injured!"

Leonardo panicly says, " What happened to her Morgan?!"

Morgan cries and says, " She fell in the ice auger machine at the factory where my dad works!"

Leonardo panicly says, " What?! Oh my god is she okay?!"

Morgan cries and says, " I don't know! She was just taken to the hospital by the E.M.S and OSHA is here at the factory investigating what happened! She wasn't breathing when my dad and I pulled her out of the machine!"

Leonardo panicly says, " Okay we will be there shortly! Don't go anywhere!"

Morgan cries and says, " Just get your family and go straight to the hospital Leo! My dad and I will meet you there in a few minutes!"

Leonardo panicly says, " Okay and while you are at it tell Austin to meet us there too!"

Morgan cries and says, " I will do that!"

Leonardo panicly says, " Okay bye Morgan!"

Morgan cries and says, " Bye Leo!" Leonardo raced downstairs from his bedroom screamed for his brothers and father.

Master Splinter says, " Leonardo, my son, what is going on? Why are you screaming?"

Raphael says, " Yeah what is it fearless?"

Michelangelo says, " Yeah dude calm down! What is it bro?"

Donatello says, " Just spill it Leo!"

Leonardo breathes heavily and says, " I just got off the phone with Morgan!"

Donatello says, " And what did she say?"

Leonardo says, " She told me that Makayla got seriously injured!"

Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Master Splinter said, " What?!"

Michelangelo says, " Dude what happened?!"

Leonardo says, " She fell in the ice auger at the factory where Morgan's dad works!"

Donatello says, " Is that what Morgan told you Leo?!"

Leonardo says, " Yes Donny!"

Raphael says, " When did this happen?"

Leonardo says, " It just happened a few seconds ago Raph!"

Master Splinter says, " We must go to the hospital!" They headed to the hospital. They were soon joined by April, Casey, Austin, Morgan and her dad. They surrounded the hospital bed that was Makayla lying in. There was a breathing tube down her throat, she was bandaged from head to toe and her eyes were closed. Morgan grabbed her best friend's hand, cried and said, " Please wake up Makayla! I don't know what I would do without you!" Everyone was shedding tears even Master Splinter. He couldn't imagine living the rest of his life without his daughter. He closed his eyes and tried to communicate with her telepathically.

Master Splinter telepathically says, " Makayla if you can hear me please wake up! Your brothers and I miss you and we do not wish to see you suffer like this! Return to us Makayla! My daughter! Follow my voice! Return to us!"

Makayla telepathically says, " I'm scared sensei! I don't know if I can!"

Master Splinter telepathically says, " You are strong and brave my daughter! I know you can if you believe in yourself! Don't let fear overcome you! Let your spirit heal!"

Makayla telepathically says, " I'm still afraid that I won't be the same person that I once was!"

Master Splinter telepathically says, " You shall still be the same person you always were if you believe in yourself! Your brothers will still love you and so will I! You are a strong, brave, noble and intelligent young warrior Makayla! Have faith in yourself and you can overcome anything! Do you recall the day when your brothers and I found you?"

Makayla telepathically says, " Yes I do Master Splinter! It was the happiest day of my life! All of you showed me what it was like to be part of a family that really cares about me and loves me!"

Master Splinter telepathically says, " Yes and we have taught you the lessons of ninjitsu!"

Makayla telepathically says, " Yes and I really liked that! But how will I be able to continue the lessons you have taught me when I'm injured?"

Master Splinter telepathically says, " Right now you won't but with time you will heal! So please wake up my daughter!"

Makayla telepathically says, " Okay I will do it sensei!" They disconnect the telepathic communication and Master Splinter opens his eyes. Then as if on cue Makayla opens her eyes. Everyone was happy that Makayla was awake.

Raphael smiles and says, " We thought you were gone sis."

Makayla says, " I was but you guys helped me find my way back."

Michelangelo says, " It's great to have you back Makayla. Group hug!" They all leaned in a gave each other a big group hug.

Leonardo says, " I'm glad to have you back Makayla."

Makayla says, " Thanks Leo." Michelangelo licks his finger and sticks it in Makayla's ear.

Makayla laughs and says, " Ew, Mikey! You're lucky I'm hurt or I would have smacked you upside the head!"

Raphael smirks and says, " I'll do it for ya Makayla! Come here Mikey!" Michelangelo lets out a high pitched girly scream and runs away from his hotheaded brother. Makayla and the others laughed.

April says, " Looks like another family crisis."

Master Splinter says, " Believe me Miss O'neal this is what I have to deal with all the time." Weeks later, Makayla came home and was up and around again. Makayla was happy to be home again. Then months went by and it was Christmas time. The Hamato family was decorating the lair with Christmas decorations. The Hamato siblings were singing Christmas songs.

Makayla sang, " Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way!"

Donatello sang, " Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh hey!"

Michelangelo sang, " Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way!"

Leonardo sang, " Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh hey!"

Raphael sang, " Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh!"

Makayla sang, " Over the fields we go laughing all the way!"

Donatello sang, " Bells on bobtails ring making spirits bright!"

Raphael and Michelangelo sang, " What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight!"

They all sing, " Oh Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way! Oh what it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh hey! Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh hey!" Master Splinter watched his children getting into the Christmas spirit.

Leonardo sang, " Rudolph the red nosed reindeer!"

Makayla sang, " Had a very shiny nose!"

Donatello sang, " And if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows!"

Michelangelo sang, " All of the other reindeer!"

Raphael sang, " Used to laugh and call him names!"

Leonardo and Makayla sang, " They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games!"

Donatello sang, " Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say!"

Raphael and Michelangelo sang, " Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight!"

Makayla sang, " Then all the reindeer loved him!"

Leonardo sang, " As they shouted out with glee!"

They all sing, " Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, you'll go down in history!" Then Makayla says, " Hey let's sing that song that Spongebob Squarepants sang in that Christmas special!"

They sang, " Bring joy to the world it's the thing to do! But the world does not revolve around you! Don't be a jerk! ( Don't be a jerk!) It's Christmas! There's a sign above the line that says " Express!" That means 10 items or less! Don't be a jerk!( Don't be a jerk!) It's Christmas! Be nice to babies and animals, old folks too! Cause that's how you'd like them to treat you! Use turn signals! Don't screen my calls! Don't you wreck the house when you deck the halls! Spit your gum where it won't wind up on my shoe! Squeeze toothpaste from the bottom of the tube! Don't be a jerk!( Don't be a jerk!) It's Christmas! When others are talking never interrupt! Don't put people down or leave the toilet seat up! It's the time for family and holly and turkey! Tis the season to be jolly not jerky!( jolly not jerky!) Don't dig in the cereal box for goodness sakes! Take the prize and leave me nothing but flakes! Don't be a jerk!( Don't be a jerk!) It's Christmas! Santa brought nearly everything on your list! Why whine about the one that he missed! Don't be a jerk!( Don't be a jerk!) It's Christmas!" Then after that, they were done putting up decorations. They decided to watch Mixed Nuts on the tv. Makayla, Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo were laughing at the parts that were funny. Especially the part where Mrs. Munchnik got stuck in the elevator.

Leonardo imitates her voice and says, " I'm stuck in the elevator get me please! Come and get me on Christmas Eve! Mrs. Munchnik sittin' here with nothing hey! Come to get me..." The other 4 siblings laughed and Raphael says, " Nice imitation Leo!"

Makayla says, " Okay will you guys shut up now and watch the movie."

Master Splinter says, " Makayla! That was not nice! Do not tell your brothers to shut up!"

Michelangelo says, " You are so going to get it Makayla!"

Makayla says, " Knock it off Mikey!"

Michelangelo says, " Fine, whatever dudette."

Makayla says, " Do you always need to say that?"

Michelangelo says, " You're a girl! I can't call you dude!"

Makayla says, " Yeah you're right! That wouldn't make sense!"

Leonardo says, " Makayla and Mikey can you please be quiet and watch the movie."

Makayla says, " Yeah Leo." They continued to watch the movie in silence. Then Makayla slumped off the couch and fell asleep. Leonardo looked at Makayla and said to the others, " Hey guys Makayla fell asleep."

Donatello says, " It's about time because I'm going to bed too."

Raphael says, " Me too."

Michelangelo says, " Yeah, good night dudes." Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo went upstairs to go to bed. Master Splinter had already gone to his room to go to bed. Leonardo looked at his sleeping sister on the floor, picked her up and carried her up to her room. He laid her in her bed, pulled the covers up over her and kissed her forehead.

Leonardo softly said, " Good night Makayla."

Makayla whispered back, " Good night Leo." Leonardo walked out of the room and shut the door behind him. Then the next day, Makayla and Morgan were walking home from Morgan's church when all of a sudden they saw some random guy's truck parked in the driveway of Morgan's house and he was taking measurements of the outside and the inside of the house. Makayla and her best friend walked up to the guy and Makayla said, " Excuse me who are you and what are you doing at my best friend's house?"

The guy says, " My name is Jackson Turbot and I'm taking measurements to see how much of my stuff is going to fit in this house."

Morgan says, " Uh this is where my family and I live! You can't just take over our house!"

Mr. Turbot says, " I have a court order that states that I can take this house." Makayla looks at the document. Then she says, " Okay Mr. Turbot I don't care what this thing says but you can't take my best friend's house!"

Mr. Turbot says, " Yes I can and I will!"

Makayla says, " No you won't because I'm going to call the police!"

Mr. Turbot says, " You can't call the police on someone who has a court order!"

Makayla says, " Oh yeah then why don't I just call my brothers and then we will settle this!"

Mr. Turbot says, " Oh and what do think your brothers are going to do to me?!"

Makayla says, " Trust me you know what they're going to do to you!" then she pulls out her shell cell.

Mr. Turbot says, " What the heck is that?! Some kind of weapon?!"

Makayla says, " It's called a Shell Cell!"

Mr. Turbot says, " What the blazes is a shell cell?!"

Makayla says, " It's a turtlelized version of a cell phone!"

Mr. Turbot says, " It just looks like a turtle shell to me!"

Makayla says, " Oh yeah well watch this!" and she opens up the shell cell.

Mr. Turbot says, " What the heck?!"

Makayla says, " Yeah not so much of a turtle shell now huh?!"

Mr. Turbot says, " Where in the world did you get that thing anyway?!"

Makayla says, " My brother Donatello built it!"

Mr. Turbot says, " What is he some kind of technological genius?!"

Makayla says, " Yes!"

Mr. Turbot says, " Whatever I'm taking this house!" Makayla calls Raphael.

Raphael says, " What is it Makayla?"

Makayla says, " Raph you and the others need to get over here to my best friend's house cause there's a situation over here!"

Raphael says, " What kind of situation sis?"

Makayla says, " Some guy is trying to take over my best friend's house!"

Raphael says, " Alright I'll get da others and we'll be right dere!"

Makayla says, " Thanks Raph! Bye!"

Raphael says, " C ya!" Makayla hangs up the phone. Then 2 minutes later Makayla's brothers showed up at Morgan's house. Mr. Turbot was terrified of the turtles appearances.

Mr. Turbot frightenly says, " They're your brothers?!"

Makayla says, " Yes they are!"

Mr. Turbot frightenly says, " But they're turtles!"

Makayla says, " Yeah so it doesn't matter what my brothers look like! They're still my siblings!"

Raphael says, " So dis is da guy you were talkin' about sis?"

Mr. Turbot frightenly says, " Ah talking turtles! I must be having a nightmare!"

Makayla says, " Yeah bro this is the idiot I was talking about!"

Raphael evilly smirks and says, " Let's give this guy a knuckle sandwich!" He starts pounding his fist against his palm. Then he takes his twin sais out and starts twirling them around. The others take out their weapons too. They beat up Mr. Turbot to the point where he got back into his truck and drove away.

Morgan smiles and says, " Thanks guys I don't know what I would do without you!"

Leonardo says, " No problem Morgan anytime you need us just call us."

Donatello says, " I think we should go back to the lair now before someone else sees us!"

Leonardo says, " Good idea Donny." Makayla said goodbye to Morgan and she went back to the lair with her brothers. Days later Christmas Day had arrived and the Hamato family was very busy. The day was filled with gifts, music, movies and friends coming to visit. Makayla kept trying to get April and Casey to kiss each other under the mistletoe. April then grabbed the mistletoe and smacked Casey in the face with it. Makayla, her best friend, her boyfriend and her brothers all laughed at that. Master Splinter smiled at that. He loved how his children were having fun with their friends. Klunk was clinging to Makayla's leg. Makayla laughed, picked Klunk up and said, " You silly kitty cat! What are we ever going to do with you?" Klunk just meowed and purred. Then Makayla put Klunk down on the floor and Klunk went off to chase a ball of yarn that was rolling on the floor. Makayla and the others went back to doing their own activities. Then months later springtime came and the city council was making plans with the verizon wireless company. Verizon Wireless was planning to build a cell phone tower on the property of Allendale High School. But many people that had children attending the high school didn't like that and protest broke out at the school. Makayla pushed her way through the crowd of parents, teachers, students, and staff members to get to the platform where the construction workers were already begining to put the tower up. Makayla then started dancing and proceeded to tell the men to stop and move the tower somewhere else. Everyone was chanting Makayla's name. One worker ordered the New York City Police to arrest Makayla. Everyone in the crowd was getting mad that they were doing this to Makayla. Makayla's family showed up to tell the police to stop.

Makayla angrily says, " This is America! We have the right to stand up for what we believe is right!"

The officer says, " You're interfering with the city council's project!"

Morgan angrily shouted, " No she's not! She's just trying to save everyone from something very dangerous!"

Raphael angrily shouted, " Yeah so get your hands off my sister!"

The officer says, " What is so dangerous about putting up a cell phone tower on school property?"

Donatello says, " Cell phone towers emit high levels of radio frequency waves that can cause cancer and other health problems if you are exposed to it too much."

Another person in the crowd says, " He's right you know!"

The officer says to Donatello, " How do you even know that?"

Donatello says, " Well my IQ is pretty high and I know a lot more about technology than you do."

Makayla says, " Please don't tell me that you're going to turn this into a technological science lecture Don!"

Donatello says, " Makayla let me explain this."

The officer says, " Alright fine explain it." Donatello walks up to the platform and says, " Okay first let me explain something about cell phones. Cell phones have a computer programming chip that controls the operation of the phone. The chip sends radio waves to the cell site and the tower sends radio waves back to the phone. The waves can be absorbed by a living being and can cause the body cells to reproduce. If the body cells kept reproducing then they would create a giant mass of cells called a tumor. These giant masses can also become cancerous and can make a living being very sick."

The officer says, " So what does this mean?"

Donatello says, " It means if you put this cell phone tower here you are putting everyone at this school at risk for cancer. Not to mention it can cause brain damage and death."

The officer says, " What do you mean this tower can kill somebody?"

Donatello says, " Your body can only take a certain amount of radiation at one time. If too much of it gets inside your body it can suffocate you the same way carbon monoxide can." Everyone applaud his statement.

The officer says, " What's your name?"

Donatello says, " My name is Donatello."

The office says, " Well Donatello I have never heard anything that smart come out of somebody's mouth."

Donatello says, " Thanks for the comment."

Makayla says, " Don shut it!"

Donatello glares at his sister and says, "Makayla?!" Makayla laughs at her brother. She then gets released just as Agent Bishop and his men showed up. Everyone backed away. The hamato family was captured and taken to area 51. Austin and Morgan broke into area 51 and rescued the hamato family. They all went back to the lair after that.
