*April's POV*
I came out of the dojo to hear painful moaning. I noticed Kitanna, lying on the couch clutching her stomach.
"Kitanna! Are you alright?" I asked, running over to her and pushing her over so she'd face me. Her eyes were fully yellow, no slits, and her face was drained. "Kitanna? Kitanna!"
----------------------------------------------
*Kitanna's POV*
The visions wouldn't stop. The pain in them became... physical. Even now. All I saw was Master Splinter, a photo, and everything crumbling.
Everything. A house... a fire... two children screaming and wailing... The sight of all this tore my heart.
Not to mention, my ears burned. I could barely hear the faint voice of April.
"...itanna! Kitanna!" The echoes called.
I couldn't respond. Whatever the chemical Donnie made was, it was making me sick. I couldn't throw up any more, all my stomach contents were gone. All I could do was groan and hope the pain would dissipate soon.

*April's POV*
"Casey! Get some water, quick!" I screamed.
Casey came barreling into the living room while I pushed Kitanna onto the floor. I sat her up against the couch as he ran fast into the kitchen.
"You'll be alright," I reassured. That was unknown. What was wrong with her?
"Here, Red!" Casey said, handing me the water.
I tried pouring it into Kitanna's mouth, but it came spitting back up. I put it down roughly next to her... wounded hand.
I then heard a voice. It was foggy, but I heard it. Cut... Chemical...
Without thinking, I poured some water onto Kitanna's hand and waited. She wasn't moaning anymore, but her eyes still wouldn't come back. I then poured it on her face. She sputtered for a moment before breathing heavily. She opened her eyes quickly to show their normal green color again.
"What... happened?" She asked clutching her head.
I about spoke, but gasped as I noticed she was... different.
Her ears were gone. There was no sign of them.
"Woah," Casey whispered. "Hey, Kitty, your ears are gone."
Normally Kitanna would punch him for that nickname, but she just tilted her head like she didn't understand.
"What?" She questioned, quite loudly.
I went to say another sentence, but something was happening to her head. Little triangles began popping out of her long black hair. They kept growing until they were a good inch long.
"Why are you staring at me?" She asked.
"Uh..." I began, but was interrupted. Again.
"You have cat ears, dude!" Casey screeched.
One of her ears flickered. "Huh?" She stood and walked over to the water below the tire swing again. She "admired" her new reflection. "How... how could this have happened...?" She asked, a worried look plastered on her face.
Then her ears flickered and eyes went yellow. The color only stayed a moment before they dissolved into her normal eyes.
"Leonardo!" She stated worriedly, eyes wide. She pulled up her cloak hood and ran over to the entrance, she helped a wounded Leo come into the lair.
"Leo? What happened?!" I asked, super worried. What was happening? I get told a story about Master Splinter's second missing daughter, Kitanna all of a sudden gets ill, Leo stumbles in beaten...
Wait. Where was Raph, Donnie and Mikey?!
We helped Leo to the couch.
Master Splinter walked in. Bad timing.
"What is going on?" He asked, worry filling his eyes.
"We don't know," Casey replied, also walking over to Leo.
"Leonardo, where are your brothers?" Master Splinter asked.
"I- they- I-" he stuttered. He took a deep breath and continued. "Something took them. They were right next to me, and they all just... disappeared."
"That's not all that disappeared," Kitanna pointed at Leo's hand... or at least, where it was supposed to be.
There was no hand there at all. Kitanna reached down and grasped what seemed to be thin air, but her hand coiled around something. "This is interesting, your hand is invisible. It has one of the strongest shadow cloak spells ever used in ninjutsu history," she replied, her voice dry and hoarse. I noticed a few sparkles go off her fingers, and then they disappeared.
"Who were your brothers taken by?" Sensei asked.
"Honestly, Sensei, I don't know. They were all in this... cloaking spell." Leo replied.
Sensei rubbed his chin and beard. "This type of act is for the weak. Ninja are supposed to be able to melt into the shadows. Not become transparent... We must find out who took my sons and where they took them," he looked at us.
"This enemy will be the most complicated anybody has ever fought. The question is, are you ready?"
