Turtles' POV "))
We were sitting on the couch with Malak, while Donnie was in his lab creating something.
Leo: "Alright then, let me introduce you to my princess... the Space Heroes!"
He said goofily, full of joy.
Raph: "Ugh, not that lame comic cartoon again!"
Malak: "Raph, please let him continue."
She said it seriously but still polite, and he rolled his eyes.
Leo: "Thank you, my lady! Now come sit with me — it's an incredible series!"
He took Malak's hand and led her to sit in front of the TV. He was totally acting like a goof when it came to Space Heroes, but we all knew that once he was in the middle of a real fight... he switched into full-on boss mode. Watching the two of them, they looked like two three-year-olds glued to the TV, eyes sparkling, sharing their favorite cartoon. Malak was laughing and cheering with him — it totally melted our hearts. Even Raph, the tough guy, was secretly smiling behind his comic book.
Malak: "I like that cartoon so much! Captain Ryan really looks like you!"
Leo: "Yeah, I was inspired by him. He's always been my top hero!"
Suddenly, we heard Donnie's voice yelling from the lab.
Donnie: "GUYS, GUYS! I BUILT SOMETHING THAT CAN TOTALLY DESTROY THE KRAANG'S FLYING SHIP!"
Raph: "And what is it, genius?"
Donnie: "Just... wait for me outside! I'll be right back!"
He rushed back into the lab and slammed the door. We all headed outside to wait. Five minutes later, we saw... wait... is that... a TRUCK?!?!
Our mouths dropped open in a collective "what the heck" shock. When the truck stopped, the door opened slowly. Donnie stepped out, leaning on the frame with confidence, checking his nails like a total sassy genius. 😎
Donnie: "Ladies and gentlemen... and my lady... I introduce to you — my latest upgrade!"
Raph: "Donnie... have I ever told you you're a genius?"
Donnie: "Nope. You haven't."
Raph: "Well, I'm telling you now!"
Even Raph couldn't believe he said that! 😂
Malak: "Wow, Donnie, this is awesome! You're such a brilliant and intelligent mind!" 💜
Donnie: "HA! IN YOUR FACES!"
He grinned. "Thank you, my chocolate. Raph... I think she loves science. Eww, science!" he teased.
Raph: "Ahh..."
He rolled his eyes. Poor Raph. 😂 Even Malak couldn't hold her laugh. None of us could!
Leo: "Alright guys, let's head out on patrol with this... uh, we need a name for it!"
Mikey: "DON'T WORRY! I've got the coolest name ever — the Shellraiser!"
We all turned to him in total shock. That name... was actually amazing. We were speechless.
Donnie: "Mikey... you are awesome."
Mikey: "Yeah, I know. Born with natural awesomeness." 😏
Raph: "Ahhh what the heck are we waiting for? Let's go!!"
Leo: "Malak... are you okay with staying here?"
She blinked in confusion.
Malak: "Staying here? Why?"
She chuckled, confused.
Leo stepped closer and gently placed his right hand on her shoulder.
Leo: "My sweetheart... it's really dangerous out there. We're heading to stop a flying Kraang ship that's scanning the city for us."
Malak: "K-Kraang? What is that?"
Raph: "Ahhh, long freaky story, princess."
Donnie: "Yeah, we'll tell you everything after we're back. If we come back." 😅
Leo: "So... please understand. It's dangerous. We just don't want anything to happen to you."
She stepped closer and pulled Leo into a tight hug.
Malak: "Oh, Leo... you don't have to convince me so hard. I understand now. Thank you for caring so much."
She pulled back and gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek. Leo's face went full blush mode. 😂
Malak: "Go, my heroes. Save the city from the bad guys."
We gave her the sweetest goodbye and climbed into the Shellraiser.

Malak's POV "))
I'm now alone in the lair, except for Master Splinter, who seems to be meditating in the dojo. I'm not sad that the boys left me — I know they must protect the city from the bad guys. So, I decided to talk with Sensei. I'm not really the type who enjoys silent vibes. I love talking, crying, laughing... I love interacting with people.
I stood at the dojo door and saw Sensei sitting on the ground. His hands were forming a strange pose, and he was breathing in silence. What surprised me was how easily he recognized my presence — without even opening his eyes!
Splinter: "Come in, Malak."
He welcomed me gently, and I entered the dojo politely.
Malak: "S... Sorry for bothering you, Sensei. The boys went on a mission, and I'm alone now. I just really wanted to talk to someone."
Splinter: "Of course, Malak. I needed to talk with you too."
Malak: "Sure, Sensei."
Splinter: "Come and sit, my child."
I bowed to him and sat in front of him. Then he stood up and went to the kitchen. When he came back, he was holding two old cups — Japanese-style — and a small kettle. He slowly poured water into the cups. It looked like matcha tea?
Splinter: "I've noticed your behavior is polite and warm. You have a kind heart and a gentle soul. So, may I ask you... do you have any parents, my child?"
That question hit me like an arrow to the heart. He smiled softly and offered me my tea cup.
Malak: "Well... I... I lost them when I was young."
He looked at me with confusion and sadness.
Splinter: "Tell me everything. I am a good listener."
He smiled warmly. I took a deep breath and began to speak.
Malak: "Okay. One day, I woke up and couldn't remember anything. I was suddenly seven years old... and lost. I found myself in a strange home with a strange man — he's now my father. He told me my name is Malak and I'm seven years old. Someone had left me at his shop with a small note in my pocket. It had my name and age written on it... and that was it. I was just left behind."
"This man is Murakami — the owner of the Chinese food restaurant in New York. He raised me and adopted me as his daughter. He taught me how to cook, clean, study... and he gave me good morals too. He's a kind, good man — and he's also blind."
"He gave me a small home near his restaurant so he could keep an eye on me, and he sent me to a good college. But still... I feel lost.
Lost in every way.
Who I really am...
My name...
My parents...
My country...
My family...
Everything. I've lost everything."
Tears suddenly filled my eyes and began to fall.
Malak: "I feel like I've lost everything. I'm really lost in a dark world, and I don't know anything. I don't even know what's happening to me right now. "
This is... this is the first time I've opened up this much to anyone. Suddenly, I felt one of his hands resting on my shoulder. He smiled at me warmly.
Splinter: "My child, please don't cry. Life is cruel and painful. Challenges are always waiting for the right time to appear. But the strongest people are the ones who take those challenges and fight through them — no matter what, no matter who. This world needs you to keep fighting. That is life, my child. You fight... to live."
Malak: "I understand now, Sensei."
Splinter: "This is your home now, my little one. Consider me your father. And the boys... they are your brothers."
Malak: "Thank you, Sensei. You truly are the greatest father to me. And your sons — they really are more like brothers. You raised them with good morals too."
Splinter: "I am happy to hear that. And remember — anytime you need to talk... I am always here."
Malak: "Thank you, Sensei."
Splinter: "Now, let me teach you something that will help you relax and calm your spirit. It is called meditation."
Malak: "I'm excited to learn!"
He led me to his spiritual table, where beautiful candles flickered. There was a photo of his family, and small warm lights lit up the space.
We sat beside each other. He began to teach me...
Splinter: "Close your eyes. Think of anything that brings you peace... and breathe."
Malak: "Hai, Sensei."
And then, we began to meditate together.

Turtle's POV "))
We were on our way home after finally finishing off the Kraang ship.
Leo: I can't believe we finally did it!
Raph: Yeah, I hate this freak robots !!
Donnie: Wait, guys, it's April...
He pulled his phone from his pocket and answered the call. and leo stopped the engine .
Donnie: Hey, April...
Mikey: Whassup, dudette?!
April: Shhh, guys, I'm watching Shredder's lair right now. Just listen, okay?
Donnie: Okay, I'll put you on speaker.
Then, we all started to hear the conversation.
Kraang: Kraang and Shredder have the same enemy. That is called "turtles" and the girl known as "Malak."
Mikey: Heyy! He's talking about dudette!
Donnie: Shhh, be quiet, Mikey.
Kraang: But the Kraang have another mission, known as "Dimension X Invasion," to turn the planet known as "Earth" into Dimension X.
Shredder: And you need allies with you, right?
Kraang: Yes, and the Kraang will give you an excessive amount of weapons and mutagen for it.
Shredder: Then, I accept this deal. But after the invasion, the city and Malak's power will belong to me.
Kraang: The Kraang deal with that, which is called "deal."
Shredder: Let us start the war quickly.
The call ended...
We looked at each other in confusion and extreme worry!
Raph: WHAT IN THE NAME OF FREAKS IS THAT?!?!?
Mikey: They're talking about our princess! Those freak robots are talking about her!
Donnie: Guys, we're all in danger, in a serious disaster!
Raph: What are we going to do now, Leo?
Leo: I DON'T KNOW! WE NEED TO GET HOME AND THINK! I CAN'T THINK NOW!
Donnie: Yeah, at least Malak is with us. She'll be safe if she stays in the lair.
Leo then continued driving straight to the lair.

Leonardo's POV "))
I feel like someone hit me with a sledgehammer! What the heck was that?! What powers are they talking about?! And since when do the Kraang know her? And why does Shredder want her so badly?! When we arrived, I quickly went to check on her. But I didn't find her in the living room or the kitchen. I went to the dojo, and my heart felt relieved when I saw her sitting beside Master Splinter, meditating deeply. But what made me a little confused was that I saw a light coming out of her body?! That doesn't happen in meditation! Are these... her powers???
