The next day, Amber was sharpening her katana as they watched one of April's reports on an organization called TGRI. When Raph kept saying he wanted to change the channel, she grabbed him by the back of his shell, pulling him down to sit next to her. "Calm down, Raph! You're acting like you have ants in your shell!" Splinter saw the report with them, and went onto the roof to meditate. When he had been gone a few hours, Amber started getting worried, when April came home. "Hey, April!" she greeted, when the older woman asked where Splinter was. "He's been meditating on the roof since he saw your report…" the small note of worry was obvious in her voice, when Splinter appeared at the window, saying he wanted to talk with them on the roof.
He told them about the canister of ooze that had mutated the five, and put the broken halves of the canister together, showing them TGRI on the back. "That's the company April interviewed today!" They all agreed to go to TGRI and see if they had any more of the ooze, and headed out as soon as Amber collected all of her weapons. It took them a while to get there, and they got into a lab, where Donnie immediately headed to the computer.
There was at least one container that was active, when Amber's overprotective nature made it known that there were Foot ninja lurking in the shadows. "Guys…" they still leaned over the computer screen, making her temper rise when they ignored her. "Guys." They still didn't seem to hear. "GUYS!!!" they turned to her, and she seemed pissed. "We've got company, unless you're all too busy to bother…"
When the Foot made themselves known, Amber pulled out her katana, seeing Tatsu, the leader, holding the last canister of ooze. She ran in, trying to knock it out of his hands, but he had gotten faster since their last fight, and she could hardly keep up. When she finally kicked it out of his grasp, Mikey caught it, but they started that football joke again, and Mikey threw it, only to have a Foot ninja catch it. Before Amber could move to get it, they used smoke pellets to hinder their eyesight, and, as Amber coughed, still having trouble breathing from their first encounter, she felt someone grab her arm, pulling her away.
She had only one chance to cry out, but she hardly thought about it before she said it.
"LEO!!"
She thought she heard him call her name, but she was completely disoriented as her wrists and ankles were lashed together, and thrown over someone's shoulder. "LEO!! LEO, WHERE ARE YOU?!" That's when everything went black, and she knew she'd been knocked out. When she woke up, she was still slightly disoriented and sore, and opened her eyes to what looked like a beat up shack in a dump, if she really saw all that trash outside. But what she saw next made her heart stop. Shredder. 'No…no, he should be dead! He was crushed in a-! …A garbage truck…'
"It seems the girl is finally awake." She glared at him icily, trying to stay defiant in this position. "It's time I exact my revenge, then…" "Revenge for what? Saving ourselves? That's the stupidest thing I'VE ever heard!" the men seemed surprised by her angry outburst, and thought Shredder was going to kill her there and then. They were surprised when he actually seemed amused, and chuckled darkly. "I've heard you had a lot of spunk…but everyone has a weakness…and I already know yours…"
Her eyes looked like hardened emeralds as she glared at him. "If you hurt them-!" "What will you do if I hurt them? I already have it all figured out. Maybe I'll have my new creatures rip the orange one apart, limb by limb, and have the red one pushed into a pit of spikes." As he said this, she felt her heart sink as she really imagined it. 'Mikey…Raph…' "Then I'll shock the purple one to death…or cut him open…" 'Donnie…' "I'm still considering what to do to the blue one…" "DON'T YOU DARE HURT HIM!!!" when she realized what she'd said, she couldn't help the blush that crept across her cheeks.
"Oh, so you care more for the blue turtle than the others…" "Don't hurt any of them!" she snarled, her cheeks still a vibrant crimson. There was a moment of tense silence before Shredder decided to say, "I'm sure you remember our last encounter. When I told that old rat that I'd take something precious from him, I didn't mean possessions. I meant you…and those stupid turtles." "What are you going to do to me?" she questioned hotly, her cheeks not as bright a red as before.
"I'll keep you alive…only because you're a powerful fighter…" "I should be honored then, ne?" she retorted sarcastically, her hatred obvious. "You're more stubborn than I thought…" he mused, and her glare intensified.
"They're coming to get me…I KNOW they're coming to get me…and then you'll be sorry…" That's when she heard something like claws on metal, and turned to see a strange contraption, a strange, mutated animal arm coming out of it. Being around her brothers for so long, it didn't surprise her as much as it would have, but she did jump slightly. "They are my creatures, Tokka and Rahzar. They'll be sure to destroy your 'brothers'."
When the two creatures were released, they had the mentality of infants, though Amber chose not to dwell on it. Shredder ordered to have them killed, and Amber saw the Professor from the interview, Perry, argue against it, showing him Tokka and Rahzar lifting a car with ease. 'That's not good…' Amber thought, a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. "Let's see your 'brothers' defeat them."
