Constellation

Chapter 15: Chaos

Tessa POV
I woke up to a large bang shaking the ship. I nearly fell off the bed. I sat up, something felt off. Really off. I glanced around the room before getting up and quickly swapping clothes to a beautiful dark blue dress with sparkles on it. I briskly walked out I into the corridors of the Ulixes, heading toward the one place everyone would most likely be. The bridge. I found myself correct when I arrived. Leo, Donnie, April, and the Professor were standing in the bridge. "What's going on?" I asked, rubbing my eyes from the rude awakening. "I think something hit us," Donnie replied. "I think that's kind of obvious," Leo muttered. April rolled her eyes soon after. "Apologies if that woke you up," the Professor said, turning his head to look at me before it turned back around. I just shrugged it off. "It's fine. I've had worse," I said quietly. I closed my eyes, and I could see the ship. It seemed to be speeding through space as if it was running or being chased by something. Suddenly, something flashed in front of my vision, terrifying me. I gasped and coughed as I opened my eyes wide, stumbling backward into the Professor's station and nearly fell if it wasn't for him grabbing my shoulders and pulling me back to my feet. The others looked at me in concern and worry. "Are you okay?" Leo asked. I nodded, gasping for air for a few seconds before I calmed down. "What did you see?" Donnie asked. "I-I used my magic to see the outside of the ship..something awfully terrifying flashed in front of my vision and I-I can't-" I said quite quickly as I put my hand to my chest, which seemed to be glowing weirdly. I would of went insane if the Professor hadn't put his hand on my shoulder. I turned around to face him, my eyes still wide in fear. "Calm down, Tessa," He said calmly. I shakily took in a breath, before nodding and turning back toward the others. "You don't have to say anything about it if you don't feel comfortable," April said gently. "No-No-Its quite alright," I muttered before something else hit the Ulixes with tremendous force, sending everyone to the ground and the ship spinning. "AAAAAAAH!" Everyone screamed. The Professor struggled to his feet, extending his robotic arms to reach the control panel, pressing a button before the ship violently flipped back over, sending April, Donnie, Leo, and I into the wall. In concern, the Professor walked over to check on us. "Apologies!" He said apologetically. "It's alright," April muttered. "I had a sore back anyway," I said as I glanced at the 2 turtles. "My shell should be fine. Hopefully," Donnie muttered as he rubbed the back of his shell. "What was that?" Leo asked. I placed my hand on April's shoulder as I closed my eyes, glancing around the ship using my magic. I spotted multiple ships, and by multiple I mean about 5 or 6. I opened my eyes, glancing around at the concerned faces of everyone around me. "TAKE EVASIVE ACTION!" I yelled as everyone hopped into their stations. The Professor pressed a button, causing the Ulixes to blast forward, rolling to the side and flipping to avoid being struck by the missiles and bullets being fired at them. Every once in a while I closed my eyes to see the progress we've been making on escaping them. Those ships seemed awfully familiar to me, but the race wasn't native to Thalia Natui. I opened my eyes again. The ship was still racing through space. Suddenly, there was a huge explosion as a part of the Ulixes' roof flew off, causing everyone to begin to get sucked into space. A part of the debris slammed into me and Donnie, causing us to let go. The ship was plummeting towards one of the coldest planets in the universe. Everyone probably would of flew out of the ship if it wasn't for the Professor grabbing everyone. My eyes began to glow an ocean-like blue color. The ship seemed to slow down, but before I could make sure we were safe and wouldn't smash straight into the surface of an extremely cold planet, I saw a piece of the debris slam into the Professor's back, causing deep damage and causing him to go flying into a wall, collapsing to his hands and knees. "PROFESSOR!" Donnie, April, and I all yelled. "Oh no," Leo muttered as the ship neared the surface of the planet. "We need to seal the damage!" Donnie exclaimed. I nodded, my hands glowing, revealing cannons on the ceiling that fired material strong enough to hold the roof together and to seal the hole. Everyone fell to the floor, groaning from the sudden force and relief of having air to breathe. I groaned, rubbing my head as I suddenly remembered the Professor. Donnie, April, and I ran over to him. "Are you okay?" I asked, my voice laced with concern. I noticed the Professor glance up at me, giving a slight nod before he groaned, his head hanging down again. "I don't think he is," April muttered. "Tessa, help me get him to the engine room for repairs. April you can tag along," Donnie said. We nodded. Fortunately, the ship wasn't pummeling toward the surface of one of the coldest planets in the universe, so no one was stressed out about that. Donnie and I grabbed the Professor's arms and pulled him up, helping him walk to the engine room. We just entered when all the power in the ship went off. And that meant one thing.

We were drifting in space alone, and worst of all, we heard a creepy and cold laugh coming from a couple feet away.
