Savior Of The Stars

Home...

After wandering around the ship in search of you, as per Raphael's orders, Michelangelo hears frightened sobs and an unfamiliar voice shouting frantically. He runs to the room it descends from and bursts in. He finds the Camo sniper pinned to the wall, his throat clutched by your hand. His once ashen face is an avocado green from lack of oxygen.

"WHERE? Tell me exactly where!" You bark viciously, your grip tightening. Mikey can only stand there, shocked and somewhat frightened at how violent you are in this moment.

"The... th-the third... third sister moon.." The Camo wheezes and coughs roughly, purple ooze leaking out of two little holes on the side of his face. You slowly relax your grip, your eyes cold and cruel. "N-north... north castle.." he gasps as you drop him abruptly and clap your hands of nonexistent dust.

"Now, was that so hard?" You ask with haughtiness lacing your tone, smirking down at him. He only responds with ragged coughs as he holds his own throat.

"Yer crazy, princess!" He growls with a hoarse voice.

"You're the one who decided to hunt down my team and I for my aunt, and therefore royally ticked an already infuriated, warrior princess!" You roar with the rage of a thousand soldiers, clearly reaching the end of your rope.

Mikey, who had been watching this all commence, flinches at your outburst and steps to the side as you march out. After locking the door, he follows you out to the bridge where everyone else is.

"Woah! Y/n!" Leo yelps, tripping backwards and grabbing a hold of the railing as you burst in. Raph looks at you, at first curiously, then wide-eyed and cautiously. You strut past him, right up to The Fugitoid.

"Set a course for Lumina Stellar's sister moon, and land it on the north-west side," you pause and take a deep breath to calm yourself. "I believe my aunt is there with my parents."

The Fugitoid nods slowly as he types in the coordinates.
"May I inquire how you received this information?" He asks warily.

"I have my ways.." you purse your lips together, not wanting to say any more. The Professor is clearly confused, and a bit concerned, but says nothing more. You clear your throat and walk out, hearing familiar, heavier footsteps follow behind.

"Y/n! Hey, Y/n!" Raph shouts, running up to walk next to you. "What's up?"

"Turn your head in that direction and you'll find out," you reply curtly, not wanting to talk with him for long, dreading the fluttering feeling you attain whenever you're with him. Sometimes you wish you had no emotions at all. That you could turn them off at will to get the job done, or keep yourself from doing something you'd regret.

"- Y/n? You hear me?" Raphael's gruff but soft voice interrupts your thoughts, and the tingly feeling traveling from your fingertips, crawling up your hand and arm. He's holding your hand in his large one, his grip gentle yet firm.

"Wh-what..?" You gulp, throat suddenly dry as you stare up at him.

"Do you want to go train, let out some steam?" He asks again.

You shake your head and force yourself to walk away, letting your hand slide out of his as slowly as possible.

"It'll just be training, if you think I meant something else.." he adds as he follows you, his brow dipping in alarm at your strange behavior.

"I don't feel like it, Raphael.." you mumble, crossing your arms over your stomach and gripping your arms as you walk.

"Ok, I understand.. do you wanna just hang out and talk?" Raph inquires of you as he matches your stride and follows you down the halls of the ship. You glance up at him hesitantly, biting your bottom lip with uncertainty. Finally, you nod your head yes, and walk with him to your sleeping chambers for privacy.

~~

Hours pass as you and Raphael talk, bouncing from one subject to another. You grow more cheerful as your anxieties leave and your worries melt away from your mind. You're so captivated in the conversation; you barely hear the Professor's voice over the speakers, ordering everyone to don their spacesuits. Raph looks up at the ceiling before glancing at you, then slowly standing from his seat beside you.

"See you on the bridge." He flashes a striking grin at you before slipping out of your room. You blush and chuckle before dressing in your spacesuit and running out to the bridge.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you.." you walk in just in time to hear The Fugitoid as an all too familiar sight lays before you in the vastness of space. "... the planet Lumina Stellar, and it's sister moons." He announces cheerfully.

The sight, nearly forgotten after being away for so long, brings tears to your eyes.
"Home.." you gasp out, breathless.

"Ho-" Leo whispers.

"-ly.." Raph gasps.

"Shell!" Both Donnie and Mikey exclaim with wide eyes.

"I-it's... it's so amazing.." April utters, staring up at your home planet with wide eyes.

Caseyis speechless as he stares, jaw hanging open and eyes as round as dinnerplates.
"That is... so.. awesome!!"
