Hey again readers!
Last place we left off, Tyroth had managed to get back into his own body, and he performed some magic on the crystal to get everyone back to normal! But then what happened to him since he was found out cold on the floor?
Well, read below to find out!
Chapter Three
"Tyroth! Please! Speak to me!" Sephie cried frantically as she slapped her lover's cheeks "Speak to me! Say something!"
"Is he alright?" asked Mona walking over and opening one of her warfans to fan him.
"Wow! He must have really worn himself out!" said Michelangelo walking over "But at least we got our bodies back!"
Donatello bit his lip as he knelt beside Tyroth and leaned down to listen for any breath.
"Donatello?" Splinter asked "Is everything alright?"
Donatello said nothing but he went pale and sat up straight when he realised he could find no signs of life!
"Oh shit!" he said "No way!"
"Don?" Raphael leaned forward "What's wrong!?"
"What's happened to Tyroth?!" demanded Leonardo.
"He…He's…." Donatello couldn't bring the words out "He's…he isn't alive…"
"WHAT!?" Everyone shrieked in horror.
"No!" Sephie screamed as tears erupted from her eyes "No! Tyroth! Please no! Don't do this!" she fell over her lover's chest and sobbed hard.
Mona instantly dropped to her knees and wrapped her arms around Sephie to comfort her friend, her own tears falling.
"No…big T!" Michelangelo squeaked as he too fell next to the lifeless Dragon, Donatello followed suite and placed his hands on his brother's shell.
Raphael, Leonardo and Splinter also knelt down, Leonardo and Splinter whispered a Japanese prayer and Raphael placed his hands on Mona and Sephie to comfort them despite the sorrow he felt.
"This is all my fault!" Michelangelo wailed "If I hadn't touched that crystal, it never would have happened!"
"Don't blame yourself Michelangelo." Splinter comforted "You knew nothing of the consequences."
"He's right." Said Donatello "You had no idea this would happen."
"How are going to explain this to Amber?" Leonardo lamented "Or the his parents, and the rest of Mutopia…this will kill them!"
For a while everyone was in limbo as they looked at the lifeless Tyroth and Sephie cried hard on his chest.
"Damn Crystal!" Raphael growled tearfully "Out of all the things that could have happened, and a crystal took his life!"
"It's almost unreal…" Leonardo wept.
"It's my fault!" Michelangelo sobbed.
Donatello looked at the crystal on the table, as he did, he noticed it was glowing and flickering almost like a candle.
"Hey!" he said standing up "Guys! Guys!" he walked over to the table and observed the crystal more "Oh my gosh!"
"What is it Don?" Mona asked, wiping her eyes.
"He's not dead!" Donatello shouted "Our friend's not dead!"
Sephie instantly looked up from Tyroth's chest "What are you saying?" she cried as if she couldn't believe it.
"Tyroth's soul is in there!" Donatello cried pointing to the crystal "His souls trapped within the crystal!"
"In the crystal!?" Michelangelo yelled as he ran over "Hey! Let go of our friend you fiend!" he shouted at the crystal.
"Stand back Mikey!" Donatello said "I think we should be able to get his soul out and back into his body!"
"How!?" asked the others together.
Donatello thought for a second then looked at the crystal.
"Don't worry Big T!" he said "We'll get you out!" he then snapped his fingers "That's it!"
He turned to Raphael and Mona.
"Raph! I need one of your sai and Mona, I need one of your warfans!"
"Okay!" the two lovers said unsure of what Donatello's plan was but they handed over their weapons.
"Thanks!" said Donatello, he then used the sai to touch the crystal and lift it from the box and onto Mona's warfan almost like a plate
"Got it! Now stand back everyone!"
He walked over to Tyroth's body and knelt down to one of his huge hands before placing the crystal into the dragon's palm.
Then taking great care not to touch the crystal himself he wrapped Tyroth's fingers around it tightly.
"Please let it work!" Donatello prayed "Please! Please! Please!"
Everyone stood back and watched in silence.
"Please baby!" Sephie pleaded as she held Mona's hands tightly "Please! Come back!"
Donatello stood back and held his breath.
After what seemed like forever, the Crystal began to glow brighter again and Tyroth's body began to glow red as his mana was activated.
Everyone jumped back and shielded their eyes as the light glowed brighter, then as soon as it had come, it faded.
Sephie was the first to look up and she saw Tyroth's body still glowing with mana, she walked over and she saw Tyroth take a breath and sit up looking rather dazed.
"Whoa..." he breathed "What happened?!"
"Oh honey! Thank God!" Sephie ran over and threw her arms around the confused Dragon and sobbed into his shoulder "I thought I lost you again!"
The others also ran over and joined in the hug.
"Whoa big guy!" said Michelangelo "Please don't scare us like that again!"
After a few seconds, everyone let go and Tyroth took another breath,almost shocked at being hugged to death.
"Whoa...that was an experience I don't wish to repeat!" he said.
"What happened to you?" asked Leonardo "We saw you perform some magic on the crystal, and then you just went out cold...then found you...well...dead!"
"Yeah!" said Raphael.
"Gave us a right scare!" said Mona.
Tyroth looked at the crystal that had fallen out of his hand then at the others.
"Well," he said "All I can remember is focusing on the crystal, then I sort of felt this feeling, like a severe head rush, then floating..." he paused "And then the next thing I know, I was in this cave of crystals."
"You ended up inside the crystal!" said Donatello "You managed to get us all back to normal, but you ended up inside the crystal! Like it sucked you in!"
"Any idea how Don?" asked Leonardo.
"Sadly no." said Donatello "Well magic isn't my field, it's science, and that sure was not scientific!"
Tyroth looked down at the crystal.
"Then I think it's best that thing is put away before something else happens and it be put some in some place where it won't fall into the wrong hands!"
"Good idea." said Splinter "From what I have gathered from this experience, it does more than just swap souls, but it can also steal them, and if someone were to get their hands on it and be able to control it's power..."
"Then it could mean trouble!" Leonardo ended.
"More than trouble!" said Mona.
"We'd be doomed!" Michelangelo said "Totally boned!"
Donatello walked over to the crystal and again using Mona's warfan and Raphael's sai, he picked up the crystal and placed it back in the glass box it came in before closing the lid.
"Well this ain't going back to the shop for sure!" he said "I'll let April know about it then I'll put it in a safe place."
"Well done Donatello." said Splinter.
"In the meantime, whose up for some hot chocolate?" asked Michelangelo "I could use some for sure after such a weird experience!"
"You got my vote!" said Sephie
"Me too!" said Mona.
"I could say we all need a drink after this!" said Splinter "I agree with Michelangelo!"
An hour later, everyone was sitting in the kitchen sipping hot chocolate, although Splinter was having some Jasmine Tea.
"Well, I have to say, seeing through someone else's eyes was an experience I'll never forget!" said Sephie.
"Indeed!" said Donatello "But still, I'm happy to be myself."
"I still don't know how Tyroth can manage in that body though!" said Leonardo.
"Like I said." said Tyroth "You get used to it!"
"You know something guys?" said Michelangelo "I think I might have gotten used to the Dragon body! It would have been nice to learn how to fly and breathe fire!"
"Oh boy." said Raphael "Please don't tell me you enjoyed that!?"
"well some of it was kinda cool!" said Michelangelo "Especially when it got to being a girl!"
Sephie and Mona stared at Michelangelo in horror.
"You what!?" they said together.
"I just wish I could have sort of satisfied my curiosity a bit!" Michelangelo commented "I'm just saying!"
He then caught sight of Sephie's face which was like thunder and her eyes were shooting daggers at him.
"Why you!" she cried "You...!" she jumped up and ran for Michelangelo who squealed and jumped up from the table.
"I'm gonna kill you Mikey!" Sephie shrieked as she began to chase the terrified turtle around the table "You come here you perverted shell for brains!"
"But Sephie! It was just a comment!" Michelangelo wailed as he ran around the table "Please don't kill me!"
"Get back here!" Sephie shouted "I'll use your shell for target practice!"
"No! Not the shell!" Michelangelo cried "Anything but the shell!"
Everyone watched in amusement as Sephie chased Michelangelo around the table.
"Oh Mikey." said Mona "You and your big mouth!"
Raphael just laughed at the whole thing along with Donatello and Splinter.
"I could watch this all day!" he said "This is funnier than when Jack chased him after he discovered the wolf's weak spot behind the ear!"
Mona laughed as she remembered.
Leonardo meanwhile turned to Tyroth.
"Don't you think you should do something?" he asked.
"Nah." said Tyroth with a cheeky grin "I'll let Sephie have her way with Mikey for a bit, this is quite fun to watch! She won't rough him up too much!"
"If you say so." said Leonardo stifing a laugh as Sephie continued to chase Michelangelo around the table.
"Help! Help! Hell hath no fury like a Gecko Gal scorned!" Michelangelo squealed as he comtinued to run in fear.
"Get back here! You're gonna get such a spanking!" Sephie yelled "You're gonna regret that you enjoyed that body switching experience!"
"Tyroth! Tyroth! Stop your girl! HELP! HELP!"
THE END
Yay! Tyroth's okay! His soul was trapped in the crystal but luckily Donatello helped him get out!
Now everything's back to normal for our heroes! Yet Michelangelo's ended up in hot water with Sephie!
Let's hope she doesn't rough him up too much!
And that's the end of 'Switched!' I hope you enjoyed it! And stay tuned for more updates coming your way soon!
