Constellation

Chapter 2: Friend or an Enemy?

April POV
I was glancing outside, looking at the beautiful planet. I noticed something about the enter the atmosphere. "Guys, look!" I yelled. The turtles, Casey, and the Professor came over. "What is it, April?" Leo asked. Donnie seemed to notice. "Oh no..." Donnie muttered. When everyone saw the giant asteroid hit the beautiful planet, they gasped. "Oh dear!" The professor said in shock, "The planet.." Raph muttered. "I saw some sort of space pods leaving the planet. Some people must of escaped!" I said. "That kind of collision can cause an extinction..I wouldn't think there was anyone left alive on Thalia Natui," Donnie said. Everyone on the Ulixes spotted a pod hit one of the beautiful moons of the once beautiful planet. Sadly most of Thalia Natui is underwater. "Professor, one of the pods seemed to have collided with the moon we visited a couple minutes ago," Donnie said. "Setting course," Fugitoid said as the Ulixes turned around, blasting back toward the moon they landed on before. The Ulixes slowed and began to descend, softly landing on the surface of the moon. "I'll prepare the infirmary," the Professor said as the turtles headed out. Casey and I remained on the ship to help the Professor.
Donnie POV
We walked on the cool surface of the rather smooth moon. Most natural satellites I've walked on had lots of craters. This one only has 1 large crater. Most of it is smooth. My brothers and I kept walking until we came across the severed pod that had crashed into the moon. "Dudes, I wonder if anyone's alive!" Mikey said. "I'll check for any occupants," I said as I managed to remove the front window of the space pod. I saw a rather young girl who looked to be about 15-20 years old. She had beautiful blue hair. "Woah," I muttered. I lifted her up, the others gaping at me when I walked out. "Is she alright?" Leo asked. "Of course she isn't she hit the moon hard from what I saw," Raph said. "She's badly injured, but I think she'll survive. Come on, let's head back to the ship," I said. My brothers nodded as we made our way back to the Ulixes, crossing over the large crater to get there. I headed to the infirmary. "Oh wow," April said when she saw the other girl. "Oh dear-Set her here," the Professor said as he signaled to the table. I set her down, the Fugitoid scanning over her. "So..?" Casey asked. The other turtles gathered in the area behind the glass to give the Professor and I some space. April and Casey stood nearby. The Professor's hands lit up as he hovered them over the girl's injuries. Since it would take some time, I saw Casey and my brothers leave to go do their thing. April and I stayed to watch the Professor.
Tessa POV
I started to wake up. At first, I was confused. I thought I was still in the pod. But as I opened my eyes, I noticed a strange turtle with a purple mask, a robot, and a human. I was in some sort of space ship. In instinct, I instantly shot up, jumping off the bed as I triggered one of my powers. My eyes went full white as I glared at them with my hands facing the turtle. He looked like a threat, as I never saw such a mutant of his type before. "Who are you?" I demanded. "Where am I? And what am I doing here?" I added. I noticed the robot step in front of the turtle, his robotic hands in the air as if he wasn't going to hurt me. "Woah," I heard the human say in fascination. "Please! Calm down! We aren't here to harm you!" The robot said. Was he..human? He sounded like he had emotions so he was some cyborg dude I guessed. "If you would just settle down, we could introduce ourselves. We saw your space pod crash on the moon. We assumed you might be injured. Your on my spaceship, the Ulixes," the robot said. Sighing, I put my hands down, my eyes going back to their natural blue/pink color. The turtle stepped out from behind the robot shyly. "I'm Professor Zayton Honeycutt. My friends sometimes know me as 'the Fugitoid' " the Professor said calmly. "I'm Donatello, but my brothers and everyone else call me Donnie," The turtle said. I turned to the human. "Im April!" the human said. I sighed. "I'm Tessa Blueflower. I'm a Thalia Natuian from the planet Thalia Natui," I said. "We know of your planet. We saw what happened..I am so horribly sorry," April said in an apologetic tone. As far as I could tell, these people were friendly. I simply nodded in response. "So what happened exactly?" Donatello asked. "Well, we were holding one of our carriage races, which we do for tradition every year. My mother was the queen, so I was watching the race with her when we were alerted something had entered our atmosphere," I explained. "My mother and I teleported down below. She told me to escape, but I hesitated before I teleported to the escape pods. My mother—She was on Thalia Natui when the object hit..That's when my pod lost control and hit the moon," I finished. Everyone had looks of sympathy, I noticed even the Professor did too. His eye screens showed a sad look. "I'm so very sorry about the events that occurred on your planet," the Professor said apologetically. "It's okay, I just hope some of my friends that fled in space pods are alright as well," I said. Donnie and April nodded. "Do you want to meet the others? I sense that your a bit hesitant, I don't want to push you," April said. How did she know I was hesitant? I just nodded. "She psychic," Donnie said. "Really? That's amazing!" I said. "From what I've learned. Mind powers are one of the most rare supernatural powers on Thalia Natui," the Professor said. I nodded. "And we have a lot of different varieties," I said, smiling. "That's incredible," Donnie said. "Once you met the others, I can show you some more of what I can do if you'd like," April said with a smile. "I'd love that. I can show you some of mine too," I said, grinning as I followed April into the bridge. I saw 3 other turtles, each with different weapons and different colored masks. When they noticed us, they turned around. Donnie walked up next to me. "Guys, this is Tessa Blueflower. She's from Thalia Natui," Donnie said. I noticed another human, but he was male. "Cool!" The orange masked turtle said. "Amazing," the blue masked turtle said. "That's So Metal!" The human said. "Anyway, I'm Casey," the human added. "I'm Leo, team leader," the blue masked turtle said. "And I'm Mikey. Big fan of pizza and Chris Bradford!" the orange masked turtle said. From his attitude, I guessed he was the 'clown' type. I glanced over at the red masked turtle, who was sitting there staring at me with his arms crossed. "And that's Raph. He's the grumpy one. Just a warning he's also the angry one," Donnie said. "Oh. Well it's nice to meet you all! Sorry about nearly destroying you earlier, April," I apologized, turning to the girl. "It's okay! I understand it was just self defense," April said. "We're currently on a mission as well. We're trying to receive pieces to a black hole generator to stop our planet, Earth, from being destroyed again by the Triceratons," Leo said. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Again?" I asked. "We traveled back in time," Donnie said. "Amazing," I said. "Yea, we watched it get destroyed once," Raph said. April sighed, "Yea. Everything.. Everyone.." April muttered. "I'm so sorry, that must of been horrible," I said. "Yea, and this is the last chance we have to save it," Casey said. "We knew of the Triceratons. They were enemies to our kind," I said. "Pretty much enemies to all kinds.." I heard Raph mumble. "I've never seen Earth, but I heard it's beautiful. I've always wanted to see it," I said. "If you'd like, we could fly by it," Honeycutt said. "Sure! I'd love that!" I said happily.
