Malak's POV " ))
Leo: "Alright then. I'll walk you to college."
Malak: "But Leo, I don't want to bother you!"
Leo: "Sweetheart, I swear, you never bother me. Don't worry."
I smiled, holding onto my backpack tightly. Today was a big day — I had an exam. And somehow, I found myself arguing with Leo about who's walking who to college.
Suddenly—
April: "Hey guys, sorry I'm late b—w-wait... MALAK?!?!?"
I froze. That voice— I turned quickly toward the sound, my heart skipping a beat.
Malak: "A-April?!?!"
The entire lair fell into a thick silence. My chest felt heavy. My mind raced.
SHE KNOWS THEM TOO?!?!?!?
Malak: "That's...!"
April: "AWESOMEEEE!!"
We SCREAMED and ran to each other like two dorky best friends reuniting after years!! We hugged tight, jumping and laughing like maniacs.
Malak: "I-I can't believe it... You know them too?!?!"
April: "Yesss! For two years now! Girl, how are you?!"
Malak: "I'm good! And you??"
April: "Good!!"
We hugged AGAIN like hyper little kids on sugar. 😂😂
Donnie (laughing): "We're just glad you two realized you both know us!"
Malak: "Yeah, sorry! Hehehe!" 😂😂
April (suddenly panicking): "Wait—we have a math exam today!!!"
Malak: "I know!! Leo was about to take me there... well, us now!"
April: "Nahhh, don't worry, Leo! We can handle it!"
Leo (smiling softly): "Heh, okay. Just take care of each other, alright?"
I stepped forward and hugged him tightly for goodbye. His arms wrapped around me gently, warm and secure.
Malak: "Don't worry. I'll text you when we arrive."
Leo: "Okay. Love you."
Malak: "Love you more. ❤️"
I chuckled softly against his chest. He was so warm... so gentle...
Then I pulled away with the sweetest goodbye smile, waved at the boys, and left with April.
---
We walked toward college, talking non-stop like two old friends catching up. She told me the wildest story about how she met the turtles — and I was SHOCKED at what her dad went through. Of course, I had to share my crazy story too — painful, chaotic, but also kind of unbelievable. 😂
We were so lost in our conversation, we didn't notice where we were going...
Suddenly, the street around us turned unfamiliar.
Malak (nervous): "April... did we just... get lost?!?"
April (looking around): "I think so... but don't worry. I know this city."
We were about to keep walking when— A deep, cold voice echoed behind us...
Rahzar: "Well, well, well... look who we have here."
A horde of robotic foot soldiers appeared from the shadows, circling us fast. My body froze.
Before I could react— Something STRUCK me hard from behind. as I crashed to the ground. My head spun.
April: "MALAK!! NO!! LET ME GO, DOG-MUTT!!"
I tried to move, tried to scream, but my voice wouldn't come out. April was fighting off the robots, but they were too many. They surrounded her and held her tight.
Rahzar (grinning): "Take the princess to Master Shredder. I'll deal with this one myself."
April: "NO!! MALAK!!!"
Everything was spinning. My vision faded. The last thing I heard was her voice screaming for me . And the cold laugh of Rahzar echoing in the dark...

Turtles' POV "))
Donnie (panicking): "Guys—April's not answering her phone!!"
Leo: "Malak's not answering either...!"
Suddenly, the lair's exit door BURST open.
April (screaming): "GUUUYSSSS!!!!"
She ran in, breathless, panic all over her face.
April: "I—I couldn't stop them!! RAHZAR—he captured Malak!! THEY'RE TAKING HER TO SHREDDER RIGHT NOW!!!"
Donnie: "APRIL!!"
She collapsed to the ground. Donnie rushed to her side immediately, helping her sit up.
April (crying): "I'm sorry... I'm so, so sorry, guys!! I tried to fight them off!"
Raph (clenching his fists): "Don't beat yourself up, April. We've done this before—
We will do it again. We're gonna save her."
Leo : "We don't have time to waste. Let's move."
Donnie: "Shellraiser's ready!"
Without another word, the four of us sprinted toward the garage. We jumped into the Shellraiser, engines roaring to life. April stayed behind, still shaken but watching us go .

Malak's POV "))
Malak: "W...where am I...?"
After I finally woke up, I looked around in confusion. My head was spinning. Then—suddenly—I saw...
Malak: "You're... Shredder?!"
I was still dizzy, my vision blurry, unable to see him clearly. But then I saw sharp blades rising from his suit and arms... Yeah. I knew exactly who he was now.
Shredder: "Yes. The one who will end your life now, child."
Malak: "What did I do to you?! What do you want from me?!"
My voice trembled, fear gripping every word.
Shredder: "I've been waiting for this moment for years. There's something inside you that belongs to me... Your powers. And your pathetic family too—especially that rat, Hamato Yoshi."
Malak: "F...family?! I—I don't have any family!"
My mind spiraled in confusion. What was he talking about?!
Shredder (smirking): "Well, well, well... Looks like Hamato Yoshi didn't tell you the truth."
Malak: "W...what truth...?"
My voice dropped, almost a whisper. I could feel it now... he was hiding something... something huge.
Shredder: "The truth that Hamato Yoshi... is your father."
What?!
S...sensei is... my father?!?!
My knees buckled. My eyes filled with tears, falling silently down my cheeks. A crushing pain spread through my chest—like my soul was bleeding. Then, suddenly...
His gloved hand touched my cheek, in the most twisted, evil way. I was frozen. Surrendered to fear.
Shredder: "I feel sorry for you... No one ever told you the truth, did they? Well then... let me be the one to do it."
He leaned closer, still gripping my cheek, his voice like ice and poison.
Shredder (whispering): "You... are Malak Hamato Yoshi. Born into the Hamato Clan. Your stupid rat father took someone precious from me—Tang Shen. Your mother. And I..."
He leaned in even closer—his breath cold against my skin—
Shredder (growling): "Killed. Her."
My eyes widened. My entire body broke into a sweat. More tears spilled uncontrollably.
Malak: "T...that's impossible—no, no, no!!!"
I stumbled backward, shaking in horror, heart shattered, soul in agony. I was terrified of him... disgusted by him... broken.
Shredder: "And now... I will take your life. Just like I took your mother's."
Leo (yelling): "MALAK, NOOOOO!!!"
Suddenly—I heard Leo's voice, coming from somewhere nearby! I turned toward the sound, desperate to call for him—
But then... A sharp blade slashed through me. I gasped.
Everything slowed down.
Blood spilled from my body. My breath caught in my throat. I couldn't feel my legs anymore. And then... I collapsed to the ground. My heart... I think it stopped. Strands of my hair fell over my eyes. All I could hear now... were their screams.
Turtles (screaming): "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
Leo (roaring): "YOU!!! FREAK MONSTER!!!!!!"
Suddenly, Leo charged, unleashing his katanas— The sound of blades and crashing echoed in my ears. Yeah... that's them. they are fighting for me...
Suddenly, I felt arms wrap around me. Someone lifted me up—carrying me away... Tears streamed down my face. But I couldn't see who it was. I couldn't open my eyes.
Shredder (shouting): "TELL YOUR RAT MASTER THAT I WILL HAVE WHAT I WANT! AND TO PREPARE HIMSELF TO FIGHT ME!!!"
Raph (furious): "I'LL KILL YOU, SHREDDER!! JUST REMEMBER THAT!!!**"
A smoke bomb exploded. And after that...
Nothing.

Leonardo's POV "))
I was driving the Shellraiser home—faster than ever—just to save Malak!!! I looked behind my seat and saw Donnie sitting on the floor, sweating like crazy and trying to stop the blood from bleeding!!! And Raph was sitting beside him, boiling both on the outside and inside!!! I could see the fire of revenge burning in his eyes!!! And Mikey... my poor brother, sitting beside Raph, crying his heart out!!!
Donnie: "Oh no, no, no... her heart!!!!!! Her heartbeat is decreasing!!! "
Mikey: "Should we take her to the hospital?!"
Donnie: "No, Mikey! They won't be able to do anything! It's too dangerous if we do that!!!"
Leo: "We need to get her to Sensei now!!! "
I know Sensei can help her! He has the Healing Hand technique! I swear my heart was racing faster than the Shellraiser itself!!!! My heart was aching me!!! Hurting so bad!!! This is the first time I've ever felt something like this in my life!!! Is it because I love her??? Is this... what love feels like?! Suddenly, I felt tears in my eyes that could barely hold on... I... I was... broken. Then we arrived at the garage. I held her tightly in my arms and screamed for Sensei!!
Turtles: "SENSEI!!!!! SENSEI!!!!!!"
He came rushing from the dojo and saw us—
Splinter: "WHAT HAPPENED, MY SONS?! M... MALAK?!?"
He looked confused and immediately ran to us.
Leo: "Please, Sensei!!! You can help her with the Healing Hand technique!!!"
Splinter: "Quickly! Take her to the dojo and bring some water and cotton! Donatello, come with me, my son!"
Donnie: "Hai, Sensei!"
Then Donnie took her from my arms and carried her straight to the dojo. We all rushed behind and hugged Sensei tightly—
Turtles: "Sensei!...."
Splinter: "Don't worry, my sons. Never forget hope!"
We pulled away, and he went straight into the dojo. Me, Raph, and Mikey sat on the couch, while Donnie stayed inside with Master Splinter. I couldn't bear just sitting and waiting for her... I went to the dojo door and stood there, watching them. He was performing the Healing Hand very slowly so he wouldn't hurt her...
Splinter: "(Re, Bu, Tu, Sha, Ki, Jin, Ritsu, Sie, Zen...)"
And Donnie was right next to her, doing everything he could to stop the bleeding. Then, suddenly, to everyone's surprise... She woke up!!! Struggling to breathe!!!
Splinter: "Calm down, my child. You're safe now. Just focus on your breathing."
She started to breathe slowly, trying to calm down. But she was still half-conscious... Even though she was out of it, she could still feel it every time Donnie put alcohol on her wounds—She cried and screamed!!! My poor girl!!! Now I felt tears escaping from my eyes... I was crying—this hard—for the first time in my life!!! It was too much for me to see her like that... I left the dojo door in silence and went to check on my little brother. He was sitting on the couch, not even touching his favorite food—pizza!!! He didn't even turn on the TV!!! And Raph... he was sitting there too, but I could feel him boiling hotter than hell!!!! I left them all and went to take a shower... to wash the blood off my body.
My love... please... don't leave us.....💔
