CH:34 Getting To Know Myself

Once I get into Donny's lab, I'm far too agitated to even sit down so I just start pacing back and forth. As I'm glancing around the room trying to find any kind of distraction from my emotions, I notice a triangular dent in the wall. Just like the one for the elevator to the Turtle Cave, as Mikey calls the abandoned warehouse on the surface above the lair.

With curiosity getting the best of me I walk up to it and place my hand into the divot, causing it to glow light blue. A moderately normal sized gem shaped door opens to the right of where I am standing, revealing a pitch-black room inside. Unable to stop myself, I walk inside and the room comes to life as it detects my DNA.

It's a fairly large room filled with all sorts of my kind's tech. Giving everything a bit of a bronzy look in the white lab since all our machines are built with copper, gold and glass and the walls are a Playdium-titanium alloy. Many big blue power crystals are lining the walls with their bright blue light flowing in thin lines to power each machine. Making a grid-like pattern covering the lower half of the wall. There's condensed versions of everything I could need along the walls, from analysis to chemistry, even synthesizers and everything in between. They all have their own little hologram screen glowing above each machine. A large clear work bench stands in the middle with its own 3D interactive holo display far more advanced then any other one in the lab. And a very large advanced computer in the back of the room powered by six crystals, three on each side. With direct glowing power conduits flowing directly to the monitor then down to the base of the computer with the big crescent shaped console, like the one back in the pod room.

As I approached the beautiful computer, the huge hologram screen came on with a bit of a blue glow like the power crystals. Then it goes black and words appear in the same blue on the screen, [Talvian system online.]

I stare at the word, Talvian, for a moment before it hits me. 'That's the name of my people! Shit! How could I forget that...' I scratched the base of my horn at the thought while I start to get a bit of a headache.

After a moment, a small beam of the same blue light comes out from a little lens just above the keyboard and scanned me. Once the light dims away the screen changes, [Welcome, Administrator Yin.]

I just stare at [Yin] thinking, 'That's not..' but before I could finish the thought my little headache turns into a massive migraine exploding through my entire brain.

I clutch my head between my hands as I fall to my knees in pain, trying my hardest not to scream. My mind fills with long lost memories, some I wished could stay that way but alas, it was not ment to be. I remembered how badly I was ridiculed for speaking my mind and letting my emotions get the best of me, far worse then I originally thought. My own brother who I previously had no recollection of, Yang, the only true family I have left, was the biggest bane of my existence. We would constantly fight and even though Yang could never win, he would beat me until my power would lash out just to relish in the chaos that would follow. As the rest of the Talvians would retaliate against me, and that was on a good day.

I also remembered my training. Well more or less how I struggled with my training. I never could focus long enough for anything involving the mental part but as for the physical I excelled greatly.

I now understand that my power is focussed around Positive Life Energy. Plus I cannot only manipulate the energy inside my body but I can potentially project it outside my body as well in great bursts, and thats just the beginning. 'This is going to take some practice...' I think as I get to my feet with my head still pounding.

I look back up to the screen before me and stare at [Yin] again, "This must be my actual name... I can't help but wonder why I forgot so much... Was it from the stasis pod.." I couldn't help but wonder out loud and then a small realization hit me. 'My fucking stasis pod was tampered with! And Yang was one of the five that volunteered to be frozen... That bastard even convinced me to be the first! He probably planned something crazy after I was out of his way, then messed with my pod so I'd stay that way.'

Just as I'm starting to get worked up, I take a deep breath to calm myself, 'He is not my brother. He never once showed me what family is supposed to feel like. I have a family now and I'll do what ever it takes to protect them. Yeah, just being around them makes me feel better.'

After I finish calming myself down I holler out, "Hey! Come check out what I found!!" In less then a moment later everyone is running into my new lab. Just to come to a quick stop with shock and amazement sprawled across their faces while they look around.

Donny was the first to say something, "I've been trying to open that door for years, it must have been coaded to your kinds DNA. To think that this much advanced technology was just on the other side of that wall..."

Raph puts his hands on his hips and whistles a long slow note before saying, "This is quite some space!"

Mikey spits out, "Yeah! Now you finally have your own room, Ying!" Making me smile.

Leo tilts his head as he looks at the computers holo screen, "...Yin?"

I clear my throat before nervously saying, "Yeah, I think that's my actual name..." Getting everyone's attention. "So you guys have probably noticed but I was dealing with quite the odd case of Amnesia ever since I got out of that stasis pod... I could remember some things but most of my most recent memories from before I went into that pod were just out of my reach. Thanks to this computer though, I was able to recall some of those memories. For starters my kind are known as the Talvian, and apparently I have a fraternal twin brother that may or may not still be around. Although he behaves more like a mortal enemy." As I finish they all just stare at me with shock and a bit of confusion as I scratch the base of my horn, slightly nervous of how they're going to handle this truth. 'I probably should have sugar coated that a bit.'
