"What?" All the turtles said at once.

Amy held up the sapphire gem. "He's in my necklace."

"How is that even possible?" Donnie exclaimed.

Amy shook her head happily. "Who cares?" she laughed. "The only thing that matters is that he's alive."

Raph crossed his arms. "Good to know. Now how do we get him out of there?"

Amy looked down at the pendant. "Alright, Connor, how do we get you back into the land of the living?"

Uhh… I don't exactly know. He admitted.

"What do you mean 'you don't know how'?" Amy said, frustrated.

"He doesn't know how?" Raph scoffed.

I learned how to transfer my soul into another object. Connor explained. But I never learned how to get my soul out.

"How and when did you learn to do that?" She inquired.

That's not important right now. Connor insisted. I can only keep my soul in here for so long before it disappears.

Amy hesitated. "How long, exactly?"

Connor was silent for a moment. Three days.

"What?" She breathed.

"What'd he say?" Mikey asked.

"We have three days to find out how to get him out of there or else his soul will disappear completely." Amy answered solemnly. She sat down on the couch and put her hands over her face. "What are we going to do?" she whispered.

Leo put his hand on her shoulder. "We'll figure something out." He promised. "But for now, let's get some sleep. We've all had a long day."

Amy nodded and headed into her room. She flopped on her bed and held her necklace up. "So do transferred souls need sleep to?" She smiled slightly.

Yes. They do. Connor murmured drowsily. But I can't do that if you're talking.

"Ha. Sorry." Amy yawned. "Good night." She curled up in her bed. Hours past but she couldn't sleep. She kept trying to use her powers, but nothing would happen. My powers really are gone. She thought with a sigh.

"Blood and mutagen."

Amy jumped when she heard a voice come from the darkness. She quickly sat up, squinting as she peered into the darkness and tried to make out the figure. "Who's there?"

The dark figure stayed still for a moment before coming into Amy's visual range.

"Blade," Amy breathed her eyes wide with horror. "How did you get in here?"

"Blood and mutagen," He repeated, ignoring her question. "That's what you need to allow your brother to escape his sparkly prison. You pour it on the sapphire at a curtain location in purple dragon territory. I'll take you to it."

"Why are you telling me this," Amy's voice wavered.

"Because," Blade began. "Once you save your friend you'll come and live with me without looking back."

She smirked. "Ha! And here I thought you couldn't get any crazier." Amy frowned. "I said it before and I'll say it again. I am not going with you! What makes you think that I'll listen to you now?"

"Because I placed a tracker on you when you had your powers stripped from you," Blade explained. "And if you don't come with me then I'll tell Shredder exactly where he can find the turtle's home."

Amy gasped and opened her mouth to reply but Blade continued.

"You have three days, as you already know, to decide." Blade told her. "If you decide to come to your senses and accept my offer, go to the edge of the purple dragon territory. I'll be there waiting." Before Amy could say anything else, he backed away and disappeared into the darkness once again.

Blade is your real father? Connor exclaimed when Amy told him what had happened the night before.

"I didn't want to tell you or the guys," She admitted. "Not yet. But that's not what's important right now. He told me how to get you out of the gem."

What's the catch? Connor said almost immediately.

"He put a tracker on me when I had my powers taken away." Amy continued. "If I don't go with him once you're saved, he'll tell Shredder where the lair is."

You can't be serious. Connor scoffed. You actually believe him?

"Why shouldn't I?" Amy retorted.

He's a purple dragon! Connor exploded. He shot you- his own daughter- and left you to die. And now you're just going to trust him?

Amy clenched her fist. "First of all, he didn't leave me to die, I ran away from him. Second, what if he's not lying? Would you take that risk?"

Connor was silent. …You'll have to tell them. He said finally.

Amy let out a long sigh. "Yeah, I know."

So how do you plan to get me out of here? Connor asked.

"Blade said blood and mutagen." Amy informed him. "But it has to be poured onto the gem in a curtain place. It's somewhere in dragon territory."

There was a knock on the door and Leo poked his head in. Amy stood up. "Oh! Leo. How long have you-"

"Long enough," Leo interrupted. He walked in and closed the door behind him. "I heard about your father."

"Blade isn't my father." Amy retorted. "He's a lunatic."

"That's exactly my point. Amy, you can't trust him."

"What other choice do I have?" Amy exclaimed.

Leo took a step forward. "Let us help you."

Amy stepped back, shaking her head. "No. There is no 'us'. You can't tell the others about this. I'm leaving tomorrow night and I'm leaving alone."

"Amy-" Leo started.

"Leo, please!" She begged. "I don't want you guys getting hurt because of me." Her voice softened. "Please promise you won't try and stop me. Please."

Leo hesitated. "Okay," He sighed. "I promise."

Amy smiled slightly. "Thank you."

The next night, Amy left the lair while everyone was asleep. She hurried to the surface.

Amy, think about what you're doing. Connor urged.

"Saving your life and the turtles?" Amy asked as she placed the sewer cap over the manhole.

You're making a deal with the devil! He yelled.

Amy stood up. "It's worth it. And there's nothing you can say to change my mind." Without another word, she headed off towards the meeting spot her and Blade 'agreed' on. When she reached the border, she looked over the mass of abandoned buildings.

"Purple dragon territory," Amy murmured.

"So you finally came to your senses." Blades voice came from behind her. She flinched as he put his hand on shoulder. "You're making the right decision."

Amy tugged her shoulder away. "Don't touch me." She hissed. "Let's just get this over with."
