Chapter 1

Hellooo readers! There's a brand new story and we hope you'll like it! So, BabyPinkPuppy and I decided to write this story which was a brilliant idea. Technicaly, my idea. It took us almost two months to write it so let's just say it was worth while.

Enjoy!

It was pouring rain out in the grand, lit up city. The air was thick with a cool, icy breeze, water plattering against the concrete. The rain seemed to sparkle against the bright lights. Predictably, most residents of the city wisely chose to stay outside, another multitude of pedestrians hurriedly wandering around, hair and clothes greedily clinging to their skin.

At an old, worn and abandoned rooftop, ran and flipped two teenage girls, both of whom were fifteen. They ran and leapt from rooftop to rooftop, minds reeling like a record on repeat. Both were shivering in tune with the icy cold weather, beads of water dripping down from their skin, lungs and muscles aching. However, both girls ignored it. It was the least of their worries.

"Sure they're there, Red?" heavily breathed one of them, chest heaving, a hand unconsciously grabbing the golden necklace, a finger brushing against the small, heart shaped locket connected to the chain.

The girl had rich, medium dark skin, a tired scowl on her beautiful face, her pitch black mask covering it, almond shaped eyes that were the darkest of blue. She wore a sexy, black, V-neck bralette leather top with spaghetti straps, tight black jeans that clung to her long, slender legs, her feet in high knee black leather boots with heels, hands covered in fingerless gloves. Her hair was dark as midnight, the tips a dark, deep red, styled in an Aaliyah ombre hairdo, straight and silky.

"One hundred percent sure, Jewel! My sense is NEVER wrong about stuff like this!" snapped her friend. A vibrant contrast to Jewel's dark and rich skin, her skin was pale as snow, her eyes an icy blue. Her hair was deep red and you could recognize two blue highlights which was a stark contrast with her deep red hair. Over-to-knee red boots accompanied her feet, legs set in black jeans similar to Jewel's. She also wore a red top with an unbounded black jacket with a hood. Accessories included bracelets, a black choker, and a silver necklace that spelt Rowan.

Jewel King rolled her eyes and scanned the area, narrowing her eyes before she spotted movement across the building. "Found them!" Jewel urgently announced. Immediately, Rowan Fox gave her a curt nod, applying her enhanced speed to where the people she considered family were, Jewel following suit.

As they reached the rooftop opposite from them, the two girls soon discovered that the turtles were not alone.

An army of Foot Bots - along with Shredder - were fighting the four mutants, and by the looks of it, they seemed to be winning the battle. Without hesitation, the girls dove headlong into the ferocious battle.

Leonardo and Raphael were fighting the demon himself, Shredder, Michelangelo and Donatello fighting against the Foot Bots, which, in all honesty, was an easier task. The older two seemed to be tiring against the ninja master. Their lungs burned and they were badly injured but they refused to give up.

Jewel was shamelessly slicing and melting the Foot Bots. She kept her muscles tense and alert in case anyone decided to sneak up on her. Jewel had always made sure she was never distracted even when the possibility of being attacks seemed unlikely. She swiped a leg at another bot and formed a fireball in her right hand. She hurled it towards the distracted Foot Bot and hardly spared a second glance at the melted robot as she whirled around to face a seething Shredder, a snarl curling her lips.

Meanwhile, Rowan was near Raph and Leo, lending them a hand since Shredder had sent them flying against a wall, both in bad condition. Cuts and bruises were smeared across their green skin, and they could hardly stand up due to all tiredness that was slowly encasing them. Never had the urge to run up to them and take them back home had ever been stronger. She was a mother hen, that she knew but these boys have been so kind to her and treated her like she was a part of the family. Suddenly, a familiar jingling started going off in her head. And in that instant she knew something was about to go terribly wrong.

How right she was.

As she turned her head, holding Leo from the armpits, she saw Shredder engaging in a brutal onslaught with Jewel, his gauntlets raised over his head as he prepared for a devastating blow. Jewel seemed unfazed but Rowan could see how tense she became as she tried to wriggle herself out of Shredder's unyielding grasp, using her enhanced strength to her advantage.

Eyes widening from their sockets, she immediately - but gently - let go of Leo, hands shaking as she yelled at her friend, whose back was turned to Shredder.

"JEWEL!"

But it was too late for Rowan to get there.

He slashed his gauntlet at the former assassin's shoulder, a pained yelp leaving her lips as she pulled her arm free, eyes quickly flickering to the wound. It wasn't deep, only a scratch. It was a bright red, but nothing too serious. Rowan, witnessing at what their archenemy just did, narrowed her eyes dangerously, an animalistic growl bubbling in her throat.

She took her Tanto from the ground, walking over to her friend to see if she was alright. She quickly glared at Shredder...who was slowly walking to Mikey and Donnie's direction.

She clenched her teeth and held her sword in a paling grip, fists shaking and igniting on fire. No. Not them, she chanted over and over in her head.

Raising her tanto sword over her head, she ran full speed at the ninja master. Shredder's shoulders stiffened, he turned around to find Rowan running at breakneck speed towards him, eyes narrowed, lips set in deep snarl.

Inwardly, he smirked. Foolish child. he thought to himself. He raised his arms in an X over his burned and scarred face, avoiding the blow of the girl's attack. This, however, didn't deter her one bit, only fueling her anger.

Blow after blow, kick after kick, slice after slice, Rowan tried almost everything she could come up with. She grunted with effort as she pulled her sword away from the gauntlets, backflipping several feet away from him. She hardly landed a hit on the man, just giving him a few cuts but nothing serious. The bruises on Rowan's skin stood out against her pale skin, cuts a vibrant shade of red.

Her chest hurt. Her lungs were burning something fierce, and all she wanted to do was curl up in her bed and just sleep. Yes, that would be nice. Very nice.

But she couldn't. She knew she couldn't. Rowan had to keep fighting. For Jewel and the turtles. They were her best friends, her family. They were all she had left. Rowan would die for them if she had to.

She stared ahead at Shredder's blank gaze, his pulsing, unseeing dead pupil standing out compared to his dark eye. He was in a low crouch, gauntlets poised, ready to strike. He barely had to gulp any fresh air.

He wasn't tired. Not even close.

Rowan felt the blood in her system boil, a ball of fire unraveling at the pit of her chest. She nearly trembled with rage. She clenched her hands into tight fists, shaking. She wanted nothing more than to plunge her Tanto right into this monster's heart.

But she had to keep her cool. She couldn't lose her temper now. It would only weaken her in the battlefield. She would be playing right into his palms. Toying her. Teasing her.

But she wasn't going to fall into his trap.

With a cry of war, she lunged her sword at him, fangs baring, claws unsheathing fast. She slashed her Tanto over his gauntlets and sped behind him. Shredder's nonexistent eyebrow whirled upwards, wondering where she had gone.

Left and right, no sign of the little brat.

In her ghostly form, Rowan threw an ectoplasm ball right at the armored man, knocking him to the ground. He flipped himself up as he turned to face the girl, who had turned back to her human form.

She smirked smugly, "Ready to give up, Saki?" she taunted, her arms over her chest. Showing any kind of emotion could weaken you in the battle, but she didn't give a flying rat's ass. She was proud of herself that she was the one in control now.

But unbeknownst to her, this battle was about to end with a bang.

Jewel was watching the whole fight from the sidelines, and hard as it is, she was impressed with Rowan. There was a slight pain from her arm but adrenaline was buzzing through her veins, and she was ready to fight.

And that's what she did.

Grabbing her discarded Tanto sword off the ground, she stood and ran at extraordinary speed to the ninja master and Rowan. From the corner of her eye, Rowan super sped away from Shredder to leave Jewel to land a few hits on him.

With a front flip, the young model kicked him right in the face, a crack echoing off his face. Shredder found himself stumbling a few steps back, blood trickling down his nose.

With a nod, the two girls came side-by-side and poised their swords.

"LEO!"

Startled, both whipped around and growled at the same time at the sight.

Tiger Claw held Leo from his neck, ready to choke him to death. Leonardo's skin was paling, he grunted as he fruitlessly clawed at Tiger Claw's hands, swinging his legs. But nothing was going to stop the tiger.

"LET GO OF HIM NOW!" both simultaneously yelled at the mutant tiger. Jewel narrowed her eyes into venomous slits, her hands and arms igniting in a bright blaze, and Rowan's eyes flashed a dangerous green for a moment.

No...no, this wasn't supposed to happen. This wasn't how the night should've gone. Nobody was supposed to die. They were all supposed to go home, back to the lair, goof around like they always did. And live to see another day. Nobody was supposed to die and nobody was going to. But how could she save them if they were in the enemy's grip? It's not like they could just ask Shredder to let them go. Ugh, think, Rowan, think! she told herself. Maybe they could exchange the turtles for their lives, but what could Shredder possibly want other than the -

It hit her. An idea crossed her mind.

She turned to Shredder, "Don't hurt him..." she begged, voice hoarse and shaky. A bellowing laugh violently ripped from the ninja's throat.

But Rowan wasn't done, "What if...we offer you something in return?" she proposed, her tone unsure but steady.

His shrill laughter began to subside, and Tiger Claw relaxed his grip on the Leo's throat, who panted heavily as he began to breathe a little more now. Jewel whipped her head so fast, Rowan was afraid her neck would snap, her expression incredulous, "What?!" she hissed

She shook her head, "I have a plan and I need your help," she whispered, "But I don't think I'm gonna like this plan..."

"Well that's obvious. Your plans have always been a pain in my ass." she hissed with a scoff, folding her arms over her chest.

Rolling her eyes, a little miffed, Rowan glared back at Shredder. "How about...you leave the turtles and take us instead?"

He raised an eyebrow, but Rowan continued, explaining in full detail. "I mean...me and Jewel joining the Foot Clan."

"WHAT?!" Jewel and the turtles yelled at the same time, eyes wide in shock. Jewel blanched before narrowing her eyes, "Oh, there is no way in hell I would ever rejoin the Foot. It took me years to dig out of that hellhole!" she barked, fists clenching and unclenching, jaw locked.

Glaring violently at her friend, she whispered, "Do you want to save the guys or not?" she prodded.

Shredder blinked and lifted a hairless brow. He considered the offer for a couple of seconds, weighing his options. While he was not an expert with superhuman abilities he would like to use those to his advantage. Which was why he had formed an alliance with the Kraang. It was also why he was so hell bent on hunting down Rowan Fox and Julia King. Rowan had excellent abilities that Shredder could easily use for his clan. Powers like hers would make the Foot unstoppable. And he had been meaning to hunt down Julia and attempt to convince her to come back to her rightful place in the Foot. He didn't want her skills to go to waste and Jewel was so powerful and skillful. Her powers and skills combined equaled domination for the Foot Clan. He hummed, his decision set, "Your offer is very tempting, Rowan," he said, clasping his hands behind his back, "Very well. We have a deal." Shredder declared, lips twitching up slightly. Behind her mask, Jewel's jaw nearly tasted concrete, as she stuttered in indignant protests at the back of her throat. Tiger Claw dropped Leo like a pack of potatoes, who coughed as his brothers ran to his aid.

Taking one last look at them, Jewel sighed. Begrudgingly, she forced her feet to move towards the armored clad ninja, fists shaking.

Glaring venomously at her friend, Jewel jabbed a finger to her chest, "If I don't make it out alive at the end of all this," she whispered quietly enough to avoid any suspicion, a scowl behind her mask, "I'm blaming you."
