Faith walked into the living room more perkier than usual. She plopped down onto the couch and grinned at Mikey who was watching T.V at the moment. "Hey, Marshmallow!" She grinned. "Sup Fudge Cake!" Mikey smiled back giving her a quick side hug. A sharp pain shot through her chest and her eye twitched as she attempted not to scream. "How are you feeling?" "Good. Not as lazy, that's for sure." Mikey's eyes brightened a bit. He knew that she'd be better with a little extra TLC.

He held up a remote control. "Wanna play?" Faith smirked. "Fine! But it's your demise." Mikey laughed. "Keep talking, Faith. Keep talking." Faith smiled, reaching for the remote.

Suddenly, the pain came back, ten times worse. This time, a twitch couldn't hide it. Faith let out a ear piercing scream and doubled over, banging her fist on the floor. Mikey helped. "GUYS! GUYS HELP!" Everyone rushed in just in time to see Faith throw up a horrible yellow liquid. She coughed and gagged, scratching and clawing at her throat and stomach. "IT BURNS!!!!" She howled. "IT BURNS! MAKE IT STOP!!!" Mikey rushed over to her and picked her up rubbing circles on her back. "What's happening to her, Donnie?" Leo asked, rather horrified. Faith let out another shrill scream and Mikey clutched her tighter. "My God! Answer his question, Donnie!" Olivia demanded. "Something's eating her from the inside. Acid possibly." He stated as Faith screamed again. "ACID?!? Where would that come from?" Raph exclaimed.

"No time to ponder on that! Help her!" Scar commanded. "Mikey! Take her to the lab." Splinter was instantly aware of the screams and rushed in to help. "She is infected. But there is much more than acid in her system. There is evil as well." "Okay, This just got creepy." Hannah said as she handed Donnie a butterfly needle. He injected it into Faith's wrist and began to drain the acid from her system. "Donatello can take care if the physical problem, but only you can vanquish the evil that comes with it, Faith." She cried out once again, writhing in pain.

Splinter placed two fingers upon her head and instantly Faith was unconscious. "Only you, Faith." He repeated.
