5. Power Trip to Another World

"Yuki…."

"That thing just spoke!" Mikey freaked out.

The monster let out a loud roar alone with a blood red energy beam. It wrapped around Yuki and pulled her away from the turtles. "YUKI!"

"Raph!" Yuki reached for him but it was in vain. The turtles tried to get to her but the monster slapped them back with it's magic abilities. Things weren't good. The turtles were knocked out and Yuki couldn't do anything. "No…."

The monster began to walk towards the turtles. "No….I won't….."

He was almost upon Raph when Yuki suddenly snapped. "I WON'T LET YOU HURT THEM! AH!"

Yuki's power exploded and pushed the monster away from the turtles and herself. She stood between the monster and her friends. The monster shot a dart at Yuki. It pierced her arm but she acted like she didn't feel it. She just pulled out the dart and ran towards the monster. They began to battle with their powers against each other.

"Yuki?" Mikey asked. They all noticed that Yuki was different. Her eyes were glowing and she just looked wrong. "She ok?"

"I don't know." Don replied as he picked up the dart Yuki threw down. "Something is happening to her."

"We have to help her!" Raph tried to walk towards her but their powers were causing a strong wind.

"No!" Yuki and the monster fired one last blast at each other and the powers began to mix together. A portal opened up in the sky and it suck Yuki and the monster in it. The portal vanished and everything went back to normal.

"No….no…..NO!" Raph slammed his fists against the ground. "I knew she should have stayed home! This is all my fault!"

"It's not Raph." Mikey said. "She wanted to come."

"He's right Raph. We couldn't stop her." Leo added.

"But I promised to protect her and I couldn't." Tears stun his eyes.

"Don't worry Raph. We'll get her back." Leo promised. "We won't let her go that easy."

"Hm….that portal…." Don rubbed his chin and looked at the sky.

"What's up Brainiac?" Mikey asked.

"I think we've seen that portal before." Don headed for the battle shell as he studied the dart in his hand. "I need to get back to the lair to research that portal and this dart. I think I might know where she went."

The group wasted no time in getting back to the lair and within a few minutes Don had a huge smile on her face. "YES! I KNEW IT!"

"What is it Don?" Leo asked.

"Did you find her?" Raph asked.

"No not really. But I did find out where we have seen that portal before."

"Where?" Mikey asked.

"The Battle Nexus." Don smiled.

"She's went to the battle nexus?" Leo asked.

"No not really. More like she went through the Battle Nexus."

"In English Brainiac." Raph said.

"When Yuki and that monster's power collided like that it created a portal and she was hurled through different dimensions." Don said typing on his computer.

"Does this mean you can find her, Donatello?" Splinter asked.

"I'm already on it, sensei. I'm tracking her power signal. This is going to take a while to isolate where she is." Don said. "And we don't have much time."

"What do you mean, Donny?" Leo asked.

"Well…..remember the dart she was hit with?" The guys nodded. "It was full of some kind of poison."

"POISON!"

"Let's hope where ever she is she finds a friend to help her." Don turned back to his computer and stared at the screen.

Yuki felt herself behind hurled through several dimensions. The monster was too. If felt like forever before she landed hard on her back. She struggled to stand up. The monster turned on her. Yuki didn't have any strength to fight back. She dropped back down to the ground ready to accept her fate. I'm sorry, Raphie. I love you so much and I never got to tell you that. And now….I won't be able to. Forgive me, Raphie. Yuki closed her eyes and waited for the monster to deliver a final blow.

A shadow jumped out of no where and defended her. "You would attack a wounded warrior why they are down, monster? You have no honor!"

Yuki tried to clear her vision and see who was defending her. He looked like a….rabbit? She tried to talk but couldn't. "N…n…n…"

She watched helplessly as this new guy protected her against the monster and to her surprise he fended it off. The monster roared and ran away. The warrior put his sword up and turned to the girl. He kneeled beside her. "Are you alright, young one?"

Yuki tried to form words but they wouldn't come. As she feel into unconsciousness she caught a clear glimpse of her rescuer. He had a soft, caring, gentle face….for a rabbit. He checked her pulse then picked her up in his arms and carried her off.

Yuki was breathing hard and sweating. Her rescuer placed a hand on her face. She opened her eyes and looked at him. "Are you alright?"

"Where? Where am I?" She looked around then shot up in bed. "I have to go! My friends! They'll be worried! I have to go!"

She only got a couple of feet away from him before dropping to the ground. The rabbit got up and walked over to her. He picked her up. "You need to rest. The monster poisoned you. The poison will only move fast through your system unless you calm down."

"But I have go leave." Yuki said as he laid her back down on his mat bed on the floor. The rabbit walked over to a small table and poured something into a small bowl. He then walked over to her and gently helped her sit up. He put the bowl to her mouth.

"This will help stop the poison." Yuki was unsure of this and looked at him. "It is alright, young one. I will not hurt you."

She looked deep into his eyes. Something about him reminded her of Leo. So she drank the medicine. She could slowly feel the effects of the medicine take over as she drifted off to sleep. It was a deep sleep filled with weird dreams.

She dreamed she was a little girl back with her mother and father. They were standing in a field of colorful flowers having a picnic. Then ever thing went dark and the scene changed to her crying standing by a head stone. He dad was off in the distance with another woman. "Daddy? Daddy where's mommy go?"

Her dad and the woman walked off. She ran after them. "Daddy wait! Where are you going?

Yuki ran until the scene changed. There was a bright light that blinded her for a second. "Yuki? Are you alright?"

"Who's?" Yuki looked to who was talking to her. It was Raph. "Raph? What's going on?"

"Let's go home, Yuki." Raph turned and walked away from her.

"Raph! Wait! Where are you going? Don't leave me!" Yuki tried to catch up to him but couldn't.

"Raph…please…don't leave me. I don't….want to be…alone." Yuki reached out her hand for him. Suddenly her eyes snapped open and she shot up in bed. Big mistake. Her head spun and she grabbed her head. Once she got her head to stop spinning she looked around the room. She was inside some kind of hut, like back in the old days of Japan. "Where am I?"

"My home." Yuki looked to her left to see a samurai rabbit hold up a curtain and walked through it. "How do you feel, young one?"

"Tired."

"That is to be expected after being poisoned." The rabbit sat down at the small table and began to mix some natural ingredients together.

"Look I don't want to sound ungrateful but I really need to get back to my friends. They will be really worried about me." She pushed the blanket off her.

"To that I will agree. Raphael-san and his brothers are very protective of their friends." The rabbit chuckled.

"Huh? How did you know about Raph?" Yuki asked shocked.

"You were calling out his name while you were sleeping. He means a lot to you, doesn't he?"

"More than you'll ever know." He studied her face.

"I see. You are in love with him." He closed his eyes and smiled.

"Yeah." He got up with a bowl in his hand and went over to her.

"I understand that you want to get back to your friends. But you have to heal first. You are in no condition to travel." Yuki did have to agree with him. She had little strength. She couldn't lift a finger without a wave of tiredness rushing over her entire body. And another thing….she wasn't sure she would be able to get back. "I know Leonardo-san and his brothers will not give up until they find you. And they would want you to heal. You can stay with me. I won't let anything happen to you until you are reunited with your friends. Now drink."

Yuki did as he said and drank the medicine. He helped her lay back down as sleep began to return to her. "So…who…(yawn)…are you?"

"Ah forgive me. I am Usagi."

"Usagi? They told…me…about you." Yuki said as she finally drifted off to sleep.
