Tessa POV
My eyes widened as I heard the weird and strange voice I've never heard before. We were helping the Professor to the engine room to repair him, when we heard this creepy laugh. It was weird. Currently, Donnie, Leo, Fugitoid, and I were frozen in place in the engine room, staring toward the dark corner we heard the voice from. "Who are you?!" I yelled into the darkness. When I got no reply, I had no choice but to use my magic. I snapped my fingers as the whole room lit up, revealing a cloaked figure walking out from the corner and staring at us. We set the Professor down on the engine room table. Donnie was repairing him while Leo and I fended the creep off. "Who are you?" Leo asked roughly. The cloaked figure suddenly vanished, but appeared behind me a couple seconds later. My eyes went blue as I turned around, both of us collided blue beams. "What the—Only people native to Thalia Natui can do that," I said in confusion and a bit of wonder. "That's because I AM native to your unfortunate planet," the cloaked man replied, who now sounded horribly familiar to me. "...Míguèl?" I asked with a strange accent to his name. The figure took off the cloak, revealing the familiar hotheaded boy that competed in the Carriage Race. "What are you doing here?!" I asked him. "More like what are YOU doing here," Míguèl muttered. Donnie finished repairing the Professor, Leo and Donnie standing beside him and listening to Mìguèl and I's conversation. "Get out of here. You have no business or reason to be here," I growled, a scowl forming on my face as I glared at him with hatred. He put his hands up, " 'Kay girl, man, don't have to go full out mad mode on me," the man said before large, powerful beams launched from his hands, hitting me in the stomach. I gasped, hearing everyone else gasp and scream my name as I felt the blood starting to make itself to my mouth. "OH MY GOD-" I heard Donnie say in horror. "Tessa!" Leo yelled. I collapsed to the floor, gagging and coughing. My vision was blurry, but I could make out the Professor's sad eyes and him lifting me off the ground. "Oh dear...oh dear...oh dear..." I heard him mutter, sounding alarmed and extremely panicked before everything went black.
Donnie POV
I couldn't believe what just happened. I mean, that dude already fled, but if he was still here he wouldn't be alive right now. Everyone was mad and extremely upset. I was standing in the infirmary with Leo and the Professor, pacing back and forth. Leo couldn't get me to calm down, so the Professor had to step in. "Donatello, you need to calm down before you hurt yourself!" The Professor said gently and in concern as he restrained me from hitting my arm against the wall. I sighed and sat down, hands over my face. "Donnie, Relax," Leo said as he walked over to me. "RELAX?! ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO RELAX!!" I suddenly snapped as I grabbed Leo's arm and threw him to the ground with unexpected strength, surprising both Leo and the Professor. I stood up, pure rage in my eyes as I stormed toward Leo, but the Professor grabbed me. "Urgh—Ca-lm down, Donatello!" the Professor exclaimed as he restrained me. I jabbed my staff into the Professor, causing him to let go and stumble backward. I instantly dropped it as my eyes went wide. I spun around to face the Professor. "Are you okay? I'm so sorry I shouldn't have-I don't-" I started before putting my hands to my head, my eyes wide in complete fear. Everything the Professor said was muffled for me. He must of noticed because soon he was embracing me in a hug, Leo joining in shortly after. "I'm fine, you didn't hurt me," I heard Honeycutt say calmly. "It wasn't your fault, you lost your cool, which Raph usually does but well, it's in the family," Leo said with a grin. I rolled my eyes. We all pulled away, the Professor staying next to me for a couple more minutes to make sure I was alright.
Tessa POV
I started to open my eyes, though I was extremely weak and didn't have much of my magic left. I knew I could use the rest of my magic to save Thalia Natui, dying in the process, but I'd have to run it passed the others first. "g-guys..?" I asked, raspy. I heard them all rush over, seeing the blurry images of Fugitoid, Donnie, and Leo. "Tessa!" Donnie exclaimed. "Your awake," Leo said with a grin. "Is something wrong?" The professor asked, seeing my expression. "I need to...tell you guys..something," I muttered. Everyone listened in. "I know how to..save my....save my planet," I said, the others listening in interest. "I'm going to use...the rest of my magic..to restore..it. It's going to kill me, but...but it's for the best," I said, my voice weak. Everyone's look went to shock, the Professor's eye screens going sad. "wait wait wait WHAT?" Donnie asked. "Tessa-You can't do that!" Leo said, a frown on his face. I heard the Professor sigh, "if that is truly what you want, Tessa, though we will miss you dearly," He said. I nodded as we hyper jumped to my Galaxy, next to Thalia Natui. The Professor knelt down, giving me a small hug since I was laying down. The other 2 did the same. "Goodbye, Tessa," Donnie said, smiling a bit. "Goodbye," Leo said. "Goodbye, my dear," the Professor said sadly. "Goodbye, my dear friends. I shall never forget you among the stars," I said weakly as my whole body glowed. Everyone looked out the window to see the large mass of water on the planet disappear. I felt myself slip away.
Third Person
They turned to see Tessa's lifeless body on the infirmary table. Donnie was devastated, Leo was sad, and the Professor was also quite upset. They had grown to be amazing friends with her. Donnie collapsed to the floor, hand on the floor as Leo knelt down next to him. "Don't worry, we'll be okay," Leo said with a faint smile. Donnie sighed. "I just need some time to breathe.." Donnie said as he walked to the bridge. The Professor followed though, Leo staying behind. Donnie turned around, not wanting to say anything hurtful to Honeycutt. "I'm so sorry, Donatello," the Professor said as he walked over. "It's fine, I guess..it was bound to happen," Donnie muttered, rubbing his hands over his face. When he removed them, he found himself crying, and then the Fugitoid hugging him. He gratefully hugged him back, his head on the Professor's shoulder. "Thanks, Professor, you're the best," Donnie said with a faint smile.
