Constellation

Chapter 4: Darkness

Tessa POV
I don't know how long I've been out, but when I started waking up, I felt horrible. My whole body was sore. I groaned, opening my eyes to see the familiar faces of April and the Professor looking at me. I also saw Leo. I sat up, struggling, but April helped me up. "Thanks.." I muttered. "How long was I out?" I asked. "Couple days, we thought you weren't going to make it," Leo said. "A couple days?!" I said. "What you did was incredible!" The Professor said in astonishment. "Wha-Did it work?" I asked. "You brought back earth AND defeated the whole Triceraton fleet!" April said, clearly sounding impressed. "I didn't expect that to work! Last time I tried that it didn't work AND I almost died," I said. "Well it definitely worked this time," I heard Raph say as he walked in, along with Donnie, who waved. I saw Casey walk in too. "THAT WAS SO METAL!" Casey exclaimed. "Are you okay, Tessa? That must of wore you out doing magic as powerful as that. You really are supernatural," Donnie asked. "I'll be fine in no time at all. It did wear me out though," I replied. "No kidding," Raph muttered. I hopped off the table, walking with April and the Fugitoid back to the bridge. "In fact, I believe what you did destroyed the entire Triceraton race. At least I hope so," the Professor said. "Yea, I knew you were a supernatural, but I didn't know you were that powerful," April said. "My mother said I was one of the most powerful on Thalia Natui," I said. "I wouldn't be surprised," I heard Donnie say as he walked in. I turned around, seeing Mikey, Leo, and Raph following him. "That was so cool," Mikey chirped happily.  "Nice job, Tessa. We can go back to Earth now!" Leo said happily. "Leo, hold up. It wasn't just about saving Earth. We have to try to save all worlds. Tessa helped us, now we have to help her," April said. "I agree. Thalia Natui is a beautiful planet. We can't just leave it underwater," Donnie said. "For once, I think he's right," Raph said. "I'm in!" Mikey said. "I guess," Casey shrugged. "Setting course for Thalia Natui," Professor Honeycutt announced. We hyper-jumped to my galaxy, the Sophinia galaxy. It would take a while to get to my planet so everyone sat back and pretty much relaxed. That was, until someone or something rammed the ship. "AH!" Everyone yelled in surprise. My hands glowed as I put them to my side, the ship righting itself. "What was that?" Raph asked. My whole body glowed as I seemed to go through the wall of the ship."GHOST!" I heard Mikey yell. I could breathe in space so that was easy. I saw a ship that belonged to my civilization getting ready to hit us again. I put my arms out to my side. "STOP!" I yelled. The ship came to a stop just in front of me. "Tessa?" I heard a male voice asked. I recognized that voice. "Grudge?" I asked. "What are you doing with those...alien people?" Grudge asked. "They are my friends! They saved me after my pod crashed onto our moon," I explained. "I thought you were better than this!" Grudge said roughly. "What? They're here to try to save our planet!" I said. "Thalia Natui is a goner. It can not be saved," Grudge growled. My body glowed as I returned back into the ship. "What was that?!" Raph asked. "That was insane," April said. "It was my friend from my kind, we need to go. They're going to attack the ship! They have powerful weapons," I said. The Professor instantly nodded and everyone jumped into their stations. Soon, the ship was speeding through the galaxy, the Thalians on our tail. "We need to be careful, they have weapons that can disable the Ulixes for quite a while," I said. "Thanks for the info," Donnie said. I managed to pull up one of the cameras in front of me using my magic, seeing them launch a missile that was sure to hit us. "EVERYONE BRACE!" I yelled. I used my magic to slow it down, but there was soon a second and third explosion, and the Ulixes was tumbling toward my home planet, which was underwater. "OH NO!" Everyone screamed. I grunted, my hands glowing blue as the Ulixes seemed to slow down. "I can't hold it for long, but hopefully long enough to find a safer place to land this thing than water. We have some extremely high mountains and hills," I said. I glanced around, everyone nodded. "There!" I heard Donnie yell, and I turned to see him pointing at a surprisingly tall, but flat hill. I carefully maneuvered the ship over to the hill, and once we were over it, I set the ship down. "Amazing!" Leo said. "That was awesome!" Casey exclaimed. "I wish I had cool powers!" Mikey whined. "Thank you for the help, Tessa," the Professor said gratefully. I nodded. The door opened and a ramp slid down. Everyone gathered on the hill and gasped. Water was everywhere, you couldn't even see any buildings. "Oh my.." the Professor muttered. "Oh my gosh.." April said. "This is unbelievable!" Donnie said, sounding solemn. "Oh man..." Leo muttered. "I'll repair the ship," Fugitoid said. "What are we supposed to do?" Casey asked. "I think I may be able to repair Ulixes," I said. Donnie and the Professor turned to look at me, but nodded. "Hurry. Your kind can return any minute," Donnie said. "Everyone get in," I said. Everyone boarded the Ulixes. I got in too, going to the bridge. My eyes glowed as the Ulixes's damages sealed themselves and repaired themselves. The Ulixes lifted back off into space. "Woah," everyone said. We were heading back toward the Milky Way, when suddenly something exploded beside the ship. I heard people yelling before everything went black.
