"Hey, watch where you're going!" A voice in a car yelled, nearly running Amy over.
"Watch yourself!" Amy yelled back as she kept walking, rain soaking her. She had only lived in New York City for a small amount of time, but she was already used to being yelled at every other second. She moved here with her adoptive father, and sensei, Rin Seiko, and her best friend, Connor Lenard. Amy never knew her parents. Rin had never told her how he found her, and Amy believed he never would.
Her thoughts were disturbed by a scream in an ally. No one was around so she hurried to the ally and looked around the corner. Three men were huddled around a woman, weapons in hand.
"We won't tell you again," The one in the middle said. "Just give us that pretty necklace and we won't hurt you." He paused before adding, "Much."
Amy walked into the rain covered ally. "Hey you!"
The three men looked at the girl, just long enough for the woman to get away.
"You're gonna pay for that!" The same guy said. "Let's get her boys!" All three of them charged at her.
Amy rolled her eyes. She grabbed one by the arm and swung him around into another. She charged at the last one and kicked him multiple times until he fell to the ground. Suddenly she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around a moment too late; one of them splashed a hand full of glowing green goo onto her.
"Yuck!" Amy wiped it off. When she looked back up, the men were gone. "Wimps," she scoffed. As she said that, a bolt of lightning hit the air.
This storm is crazy! Amy thought. I got to find some shelter, and fast. She tried to look for cover. Before she could find any, lightning hit her and she felt a surge of pain flow through her. She let out an agonizing shriek of pain before falling unconscious.
When she woke up, she was surrounded by, what looked to be, ninjas.
Ninjas… In New York?! I must be dreaming.
But it was soon obvious that Amy was not dreaming. One of them grabbed her arm and threw her against a wall. Amy quickly got up, ready to fight, but when she counted how many there were, she ran. She could hear them running after her, but she didn't look behind her.
Running into an ally, she used all her strength to remove a man-hole cover. She took a deep breath and jumped into the sewers and kept running. Soon she heard the sound of footsteps behind her fall silent. Amy ran behind a corner and stopped, catching her breath. Minutes past and still nothing happened.
Must've lost them… Amy thought.
But when she looked around the corner, she saw all of the ninjas standing there, staring at her.
"Oh come on!" Amy growled. She charged at one and punched it in the chest; it didn't even flinch. Amy held her hand. "Oooooowwww!" she yelled. When she looked back up, the ninja she had punched kicked her, sending her flying toward a wall. She tried to spin so her feet would hit the wall, but her arm hit it instead. She let out a scream of pain. She got up and began fighting again, dodging blows aimed at her right arm. She got hit in her hurt arm again, letting out another scream. Amy realized she was outnumbered. She ran, hearing them follow.
She turned a corner and saw she reached a dead end. She turned around, ready to go back, but the ninja were already there. They slowly advanced on her. Amy soon touched the wall, unable to move back any further. She fell to the ground and huddled into a corner, hugging her knees. One of the ninja held up a sword. Amy lowered her head and closed her eyes shut, ready for the pain.
"Now!" Amy heard a voice say. There were sounds of metal hitting each other. Noises of fighting. Soon the noises stopped and someone walked up to her.
"It's alright," The voice sounded like a teenage boy, a bit older than her. "You're safe now."
Amy slowly looked up and froze in fear. There were four turtles, each with different colored masks on; orange, blue, red, and purple. The one with the purple mask was standing over her.
"You're… You're… Uhhggg…" that was she could before everything went black as she fell unconscious once again.
Soon she began to wake up. Light was all she saw until her vision cleared. She sat up. "What a weird," she stopped as she saw the blue and purple masked turtles. "Dream…" she let out a scream of fear.
The purple masked one put his hands in front of himself. "Its okay!" he assured her. "It's okay. We're not going hurt you."
Amy was panting. "W-What are you?"
"Turtles," the red masked turtle replied, walking in with the orange masked one.
"Ninja turtles." The orange one corrected.
"I'm Donatello," the purple masked one said. He pointed to each of the other ones. "These are my brothers; Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo."
Amy gulped. "I-I'm Amy," she replied nervously.
"A.K.A, Amelia Seiko," Mikey said. Amy saw him holding her ID card and read everything off of it.
"Hey, give that back!" Amy yelled. A blue spark flew out of her finger and hit his hand, making the ID drop to the ground. Amy gasped. Did… Did I do that?
"How did you do that?" Donnie asked.
"Do what?" Amy looked at him nervously.
"That spark." He replied.
Amy crossed her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about!" At least I wish I didn't…
Raph growled and grabbed her hurt arm, sending pain through her.
"Ow!" Amy screamed as a huge wave of blue electricity hit Raph, sending him flying.
"Raphael!" Leo exclaimed, rushing up to him.
Amy stared wide-eyed. How did I do that?! "I-I'm so sorry! I-"
"Sorry my shell!" Raph interrupted, getting up.
"I didn't mean to! Honest!"
"Yeah right!"
"Enough!" a new voice said.
Amy saw a giant rat come in. She held back a huge scream.
Donnie must have noticed as he said. "It's alright. This is Master Splinter. Master Splinter, this is Amy."
Splinter bowed. Amy hesitated, and then bowed as well.
"Have you all just forgotten what she just did to me?" the voice of Raph made Amy jump. "She just shocked the shell out of me!"
Splinter narrowed his eyes at Donnie. "She what?"
"It's not what you think!" Amy answered for him, getting up. "I didn't mean to, I just-" she stopped as Raph punched her in the face.
"Raphael!" Amy barley heard Master Splinter say. She was breathing heavily as she felt anger flowing through her. A huge wave of electricity burst through her and sent them all flying. She looked around and gasped. "I…I…" she took off running. She heard Donnie call her name but she didn't stop. She soon came across a boarded off section. She slipped through a hole and immediately fell onto the water covered ground, tears running down her face.
Amy soon heard footsteps and quietly slid away from the entrance and hugged her knees. Unable to hold it back, she began crying.
What's happening to me? She thought. How did I do all of that? How am I going to tell sensei and Connor?
"Hey…" Donnie's voice interrupted Amy's thoughts.
Amy gasped and began to scoot away. "Get away from me… I don't want to hurt you…"
Donnie smiled. "My brothers and I have been through worse." He said, sitting down next to her.
"I don't know how to control it…" Amy sighed; realizing running would do no good, she wanted to keep up a conversation.
"The spark?" Donnie asked. "How did you even get those powers?"
"Lighting incident." Amy didn't want to explain the whole story.
"Owch…"
"It hurt a lot… But when I woke up, those robots tried to take me so I ran. That's about the time you guys showed up."
"Do you have any one to go to?"
"I live with my sensei and my friend. But I can't go back to them…" she looked down at her hands. "Not like this."
"It's alright." Donnie said soothingly. "You can stay with us until you're good enough to go."
Amy smiled. "That's great, thought it might take me a while to get used to you guys."
"Especially Raph," Donnie added. "He didn't hurt your arm to bad, did he?"
"No," Amy shook her head. "It's fine."
"Well let's get back to the lair," Donnie said, getting up. "I'm sure you have quite a story to tell Master Splinter."
