Constellation

Chapter 3: The Milky Way

Tessa POV
I glanced out one of the windows, seeing the spectacular sight before me. The Milky Way was visible not far from the Ulixes. The ship sped toward the galaxy. It seemed to inch closer second by second. The turtles seemed to be pretty excited too to see Earth again. "I can't wait to see Earth again!" April said happily. "It's been forever," Raph said. "It's just a flyby guys. But it'll be an amazing view either way," Donnie said with a grin. April walked up to me. "So, what do you think?" She asked. I looked at her, a smile lighting up my face. My blue and pink eyes seemed to sparkle in joy. "It's beautiful! I've never seen a galaxy quite like it!" I chirped happily. "It's a sight for sore eyes," Leo said. "This is so awesome!" Casey exclaimed. "We are now entering the Milky Way galaxy," the Fugitoid announced. Everyone seemed to gather at the window as we passed the common planets in the solar system. Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and other cool planets. I loved the rings around Saturn, it made the planet more pretty. Everyone was staring out the window. I looked out to see a beautiful planet with water covering most of the surface. "Woah. This is Earth?" I asked. "In the flesh," Casey said with a grin. "Yep. It's beautiful isn't it?" Donnie asked. I nodded. "It's a shame the Triceratons are trying to destroy such a beautiful planet," I said, feeling a bit angry at the Triceratons for disturbing such a peaceful planet. I glanced around, taking in the planet's beauty and size. "It's much larger than Thalia Natui," I said. "Yes, it's quite a stunning view indeed," the Professor said. "This brings back so many memories.." Mikey said. "Ice cream kitty, Master Splinter, Pizza," Mikey listed. Everyone stood there for multiple minutes before we unfortunately had to leave. But I understood it was to try to save the planet from it's unnecessary destruction, just like my planet. Except asteroids are a normal event in space. This time, it's a race trying to destroy Earth purposely. And I will do whatever I can to help them. We hyper jumped out of the galaxy and back into the vastness of space. "Space is awesome," Leo said. "Never thought I'd say it but...I agree," Raph said with a smirk on his usually grumpy face. "Surprising, you actually agree with Leo," Donnie said, laughing. Raph shrugged. "Where are we heading next, Professor?" April asked. "The next piece of the generator is located on another well-known planet that sustains like quite like Thalia Natui," the Professor replied, pulling up a screen showing the shape and size of the planet. "It's actually twice the size of Earth," He added. "Woah," Casey said.
"The fragment looks like it's heavily guarded," April said. "That won't be a problem for me," I said, grinning. "Be careful! We don't want to harm anyone!" The Professor said. "I think April and I got this," I said. The turtles and Casey looked confused, but they just shrugged. When they landed, the door opened and April and I walked out onto the soft ground. April took her helmet off, the oxygen breathable. "It's been a while since I've breathed fresh air," April said happily. April stopped and closed her eyes, taking in a deep breath. She opened them again. "Turn left up here," she said. We turned the corner and there was the generator fragment. It was larger than I imagined. Explains how it can swallow whole planets. Like April said, it was heavily guarded. "Maybe we should get the others," April suggested. "I got this, and I can do it without hurting them," I said. April watched in fascination. My eyes went full on white as all of the guards disappeared. "What did you do?" April asked. "Teleportation. And that's how we're getting back to the ship," I replied. "Amazing!" April said. I snapped my fingers, the generator piece, April, and I all teleported back to the Ulixes. The professor and the turtles looked surprised. "Where did you come from?" Raph asked. "Nowhere," I said, smiling. "That's the 2nd piece of the generator," Leo said. The Ulixes lifted off the planet, and hyper jumped to the Milky Way again, which was an unintended destination. "Uh, Fugitoid?" Leo asked. "It appears there's something wrong with the hyper-jump," the Professor said. "Anyone want to help me in damage assessment, my friends? You should learn these things, people," The professor asked. Donnie agreed. Donnie and the Professor headed out to repair the engine while everyone stayed inside. "What else can you do, Tessa?" Casey asked. I grinned, swirling my finger around. A small cloud formed above Casey and it started raining on him. "Hey!" Casey said, crossing his arms as I made the cloud disappear. April and Leo chuckled. "I'm going to join Mikey and Raph in watching Chris Bradford and his ruff crew," Casey said as he stormed away, clearly complaining. "What can you do April?" I asked as Leo headed to follow Casey. "I'll show you. Can you summon an object? Or food?" April asked. Confused, I nodded, swirling an apple into my hand. April closed her eyes and held out some strange crystal. I watched in interest and amazement as the apple flew across the room. "Woah," I muttered. "You're really gifted, April," I said, smiling. Everyone gathered back in the bridge as the Professor and Donnie returned, but when they tried to hyper-jump, they didn't move much. "Huh?" I asked. "Didn't you guys fix it?" Leo asked. "We thought we did," Donnie said with an unsure tone. April closed her eyes, opening her eyes with a gasp, stumbling backward. I caught her. "Are you okay, April?" Donnie asked. "Professor, something's not right. We need to head to Earth," April said with a panicked expression and tone in voice. I noticed the Professor nod, and he had a look of panic too, probably knowing April is usually always right about something. Soon, the Ulixes arrived at Earth to a horrifying sight. The Triceraton mothership was there, and they were powering up the devastator. "Oh NO!" The turtles yelled at the same time. "Oh dear," the Professor said. My eyes were wide. "But how?" April asked. "We have 2 of the pieces!" Leo said. "Maybe they found some way to duplicate them?" Donnie suggested. "No. It would take months to replicate," the Professor said. "Earth is getting destroyed..AGAIN!" Raph said. This is what they went through when they watched Earth obliterated. I thought to myself. I glanced at everyone. I looked back at Earth, which once again got sucked into a black hole. "NO!" The turtles and Casey and April yelled. My eyes were wide. I suddenly had an idea, but there was a possible chance it could kill me. "I have an idea. I know how to stop Earth from being destroyed, but it would take a lot of my energy," I said. "We'll find another way!" Leo said. "You can't, you can die!" April said. Mikey and Casey stayed silent. "I have to do this. I won't let your planet get destroyed again, not like mine did. I can't watch anyone lose loved ones because of the Triceratons, and I don't let them destroy a beautiful planet like yours," I said. "Be careful," the Professor said. I noticed he had a sad look on his eye screens. I glanced over at April. "Thanks for trusting me," I said. April just nodded and gave me a quick hug. I felt my eyes go white and my body glow a white color. I noticed everyone's shocked faces as they watched Earth return. When it did, I managed to snap my fingers, before all I heard was an explosion before everything went black.
