14. Yuki's Secret

The turtles were sitting around quietly in their little cell. Raph had woken up from his knock out zap Yuki gave him. He didn't say a word as he went over into a corner of the cell to sit alone. No one knew what to say. All of a sudden they felt an evil rush through the room. Mikey was the one to speak first. "What the shell was that?"

"Something not good." Leo replied as he stood up. "Something's happening to Yuki."

Raph winced at the sound of her name.

"We have to get out of here!" Mikey said then looked at Don. "Come on, Don! Hasn't that big brain of yours came up with a plan to escape?"

"Sorry, Mikey. I've got nothing." Don hung his head.

"There's got to be some way to get out of here!" Mikey ran over to the bars and started pounding them with his fists!" Someone let us out!"

Chip was still sitting on Don's shoulder then flew off and in front of his face. "What is it, Chip? You miss Yuki too?"

Chip started to buzz annoyingly in his face. "Will you cut it out? What are you doing?"

Chip's eye began to flash then he landed on the bench beside Don. His mouth opened up and a hologram of Yuki appeared. "Yuki? Hey, guys, look!"

Leo and Mikey looked and saw the hologram of Yuki and went over to it. Raph just looked up then back down at the floor. "Hey, guys. If you see this recording then I have been captured by my father."

"Yuki?" Mikey asked reaching out to touch the hologram.

"Listen to me carefully. I'm sure by now someone has activated the Demon's Eye. You haven't got much time. You have to destroy the eye before whoever is using it completely drains my powers. If not the entire world will be in danger. And don't worry about Casey, April and Splinter. They are all fine. They were left in the lair."

"But we can't get out of here." Leo said as if he was really talking to her.

"Chip can activate anything in this underground place. Mother made him to give me complete access to this build and to help me if I ended up getting lost down here. I programmed him to accept Don's voice commands. Use Chip to get out and save the world!"

"Alright! We've got an escape!" Leo said pounding his fist in the palm of his hand. "Let's get moving!"

"What's the point? Yuki's gone." Raph grumbled from his corner of the room.

"Come on, Raph. There might be a chance we can still save her." Mikey said.

"She's gone and that's it." Mikey looked at his brothers. None of them knew what to say. Suddenly the hologram of Yuki walked over to Raph and kneel down beside him.

"Raph?" Hologram Yuki asked. "Raph, look at me!"

Raph lifted his gaze to the fake her. "Raph, I understand that I hurt you. I had no choice. My father knew the only way to get me to go with him quietly and not loose control of my power was to use you. Raph, he used you to get to me. Now, I want you to get off your shell and do what you do best! Kick some butt! Do you understand me, Raph? Take your frustration out on Michael and Charles! They're the ones who really hurt you! Their the ones who hurt me!"

Raph slowly began to return to normal. His anger was building up inside of him as he heard her words. It was Michael and Charles fault for hurting them. For hurting her. Finally he stood up and looked at his brothers with determination in his eyes. "What are you waiting for? We've got some butt kickin' to do!"

"Alright! That's our hotheaded brother we've come to know and love!" Mikey cheered.

"Don?" Leo asked.

"On it." Don held out his hand to Chip. Chip landed in his open palm and waited. "Chip, open the cell door!"

Chip chirped then flew out of the cell room and over to the control panel. He landed on a small touch pad and began to make some digital sounds. After about minute the cell door clanked open. They were free. Don immediately went over to Chip. "Chip, can you show us where they took Yuki?"

Chip obeyed and soon they were looking at a map of the underground building. Chip also opened up a closet revealing their missing weapons the others grabbed them as Don pointed to the screen. "There she is!"

"Let's move!" Leo ordered and they took off.

Yuki struggled against the blood red glow. But it was doing no good. Finally her power began to glow and flow over to Shredder. He now was glowing with Yuki's power. Yuki opened her eyes and looked at him. "Yes. Yes! I can feel it! It's so powerful! I'm so powerful!"

"Well enjoy it! It's going to be the last time you'll ever feel my power!" Yuki cried.

"Shut up, girl!" Michael snapped.

"You shut up!" Michael stared at his daughter. "You wanted to give this jerk my power? Fine! You can have my power!"

"Yuki? What are you doing?" Michael asked as Yuki began to power up.

"Giving you my power!" Yuki's voice began to echo throughout the room. Her power started to whirl around the room like wind. "All of my power!"

The whipping of her power snapped the bands holding her down on the table. Once free she began to rise in the air.

"What's going on?" Shredder asked. Her power was leaving him. Yuki held out her arms to her sides.

The turtles were running down the corridor when a sudden gust of wind hit them. "What's going on?"

"I don't know, Mikey." Don replied.

"That's Yuki's power." Raph said.

"That's Yuki?" Don asked. "But how? It feels like she's in complete control of her power."

"I just hope it's Yuki that is in control and not someone else." Leo said. "Let's keep moving."

They continued on down the corridor until they came to the room where Yuki was. Raph was the first to bust in. "What the shell?"

The others came in and saw everyone in the room holding on to stuff. Yuki was floating in the air as her powers continued to whip around the room. Shredder was still standing in the middle of the room with the red glow still flowing into Yuki. Yuki released a large blast of energy. It went through the ceiling and busted out until it opened up the ground, revealing a straight shot to the sky. Raph ran over to Yuki. He looked up at her. "Yuki? Yuki!"

"R-Raph…."

"I'm here, Yuki. Just concentrate on my voice. I'm getting you out of here."

"No…" Yuki shook her head. "You….You have to destroy the Demon's Eye!"

"No! Not until you are safe!"

"Raph! No one will be safe unless it is destroyed! Destroy it! NOW!"

"She's right, Raph." Leo grabbed his shoulder. "We have to stop Shredder!"

"Hn…." Raph looked at him the back at Yuki. She smiled at him and nodded. "Ok. I'll be back for you."

"Good bye, Raph." Yuki whispered. Leo looked back at Yuki. He had heard her. She knew from the look in his eyes. It's ok, Aniki. I'm prepared for this. It has to be this way.

Yuki.

Don't be sad. I knew from the beginning this would happen.

That was the secret you were hiding.

Yes. Yuki nodded at Leo. He nodded back then joined his brothers. They attacked Shredder and pinned him to the ground. "Let go of me!"

"No chance, Shredder!" Mikey said.

"We're not going to allow you to take Yuki's powers from her!" Don said. Leo slipped his katana in between the helmet and the eye and began to pry it off. With a shriek from Shredder the eye snapped off and fell to the floor. He shoved the turtles off him and left the way he came. Don slammed the end of his bo on the eye and it shattered as Raph took after him.

"Let him go, Raph!" Leo ordered.

"Why?"

"He's not our concern right now!" Leo pointed up at Yuki. She was beginning to rise into the sky taking everyone with her. With in seconds they all were floating above the city.

"What do we do?" Mikey asked.

"Look!" Don pointed to some portals that were opening. Only nothing was coming through.

"We have to get up to Yuki!" Raph said. Yuki's power was now affecting the city and was lashing at some buildings. Fragments of the buildings were falling down on citizens. They all looked back up at Yuki. She was now lying down with her arms still stretched out. She no longer was in control of her power. They were acting on their own. "What do we do? She's blacked out!"

"That means she no longer has control over her powers!" Don said.

"What do we do? Her power's going to destroy everything!" Mikey freaked. Leo remained quiet. He didn't dare tell them the truth. Yuki wasn't just blacked out. But there was still the problem of stopping her power.

"Leo!" Raph snapped him out of his thoughts. "What do we do now?"

"I'm not….Wait! There might be one way!" Leo looked at Yuki and concentrated.

"Leo?" Mikey asked.

Come on. I know you're there! Answer me! Leo snapped at the beast he knew was inside Yuki's dream world. Suddenly he was transported back into her dream world. It was the same as last time. Just Yuki wasn't anywhere to be found. Leo refused to think about that at the moment. He was on a mission. Where are you?
