Hello hello hello! I hope you all liked my first chapter, now it's time to get into some action. I do NOT own TMNT, only my OC's. Enjoy:)!

Chapter 2: Four Saviors

Verena's P.O.V.:

New York City was a grand sight to see. All the bright lights, the tall buildings that reached to the sky and all the noises that came in many directions. I cannot believe how alive this place is. It almost reminds me of the capitol in my world with its many wonders and sites, but back home our buildings are taller and we have different planet races in it. However, with every city there is always a dark cloud that covers it; people would commit crimes for their own selfish desires no matter who or what gets in their way, that's a fact, and I know that I have to be extra cautious when I'm here. I looked down at my body, seeing my armor all dirty and ripped like it went through a paper shredder; my face and hair also made me look gross.

"I should probably go clean myself off." I said to myself.

I then remembered the pond that I was next to when I crashed and decided to go there to wash myself. The walk back didn't take me too long thankfully. Once putting myself at the edge of the pond, I used my water-bending to clean my armor, hair, and face from the dirt and grass still on me. Then I used the same water with some healing magic to clean my cuts so they wouldn't get infected. Checking that no one else was around, I changed out of my armor and put on my usual dress that was a white long-sleeved top with a black corset and a sky blue skirt; I then put my armor in an electric storage that was on my wrist link where my other clothes were. Seeing that I'm still alone, I decided to fly to one of the roofs so I can find who I've been looking for. With a city like New York, so big and vast, how do you find just one person? I remember my grandfather telling me that his friend sticks to the shadows and doesn't like to be seen; he also told me that his friend isn't an average Earther. Either way it didn't matter to me what he looked like, I never like to judge people based on physical appearance alone, but I had heard that he is a great martial artist and a good and honorable person, that was the part that I want to see and I couldn't wait to meet him. Grandfather also told me that his friend had sons; I do not remember exactly how many he has but I thought about them too.

"I wonder what they are like." I said to myself out loud as I was jumping from one building to another. "How old are they? Do they do martial arts? What do they look like? What do they like to do?" I kept thinking of all kinds of questions as I kept going.

Two Hours Later…

I search through a lot of the city and I still haven't found anything. No clues, no tracks to follow; it was almost impossible, but I know I can't give up yet and it won't be morning until another several hours. But then, a thought came into mind, what if these people that I've been looking for aren't human? It could be possible, couldn't it? I heard footsteps coming closer to my direction, but I couldn't really see where they were coming from. These figures soon surrounded me and they had a red symbol on their chests; all of them soon pulled out their weapons on me and I got into a fighting stance. All of a sudden, the ninja's lowered their weapons and a big, muscular, blonde- haired man came out with a smirk planted on his face. This cannot be good.

"Usually first meetings lead to a proper introduction." I said to him.

"As you wish then." he said with a low voice, still with the same facial expression. "We are the Foot, but you can call me Hun."

I raised an eyebrow, still confused by all of this. "What is it that you want from me?" I questioned him,

"A chance to speak with you, Princess Verena..."

I pulled out my sword, Timaeus, before I let him finish, "How do you know who I am?!" I shouted at him.

The ninja's soon had their weapons raised, ready to attack, but this guy put an arm out, causing the others to put them down. I looked at him with an angry look, but at the same time I was still confused with what they wanted with me.

"Like I was saying," he continued, still calm. "We are the Foot, we serve under our master, Aroku Saki, the one, true Shredder. I can guarantee you this, girly, if you don't cooperate with us, then we will go rough on you, but if you choose to come with us, then you will serve under the Foot and your life will be spared. The choice is yours; either the easy way or the hard way, take your pick."

Was this guy serious? I don't know what this "Shredder" wanted with me, but I am not going to let these punks take me. Not without a fight anyway.

"Sorry to inform you, uh, Hun, was it? But I am not willing to side with someone as black-hearted as you all are. So tell your master this, my answer is No." I said to him, showing no fear to any of them.

He gave me a sour look, "You just made a very bad mistake, you little brat." He put his arm up, and the ninja's had their weapons raised again now in a fighting stance. "But if you won't come with us, then we'll just take you."

I tightened my grip on Timaeus, looking at these creeps with a serious look on my face. "If you want me, come and get me."

A moment later, Hun shot his arm down and all the ninjas charged at me. I used my psychic powers to push them back; many of them fell flat on their backs, except for Hun. He charged at me with a fist in the air; I put Timaeus back in its hilt and back flipped, kicking him in the jaw and causing him to fall to his knees. A ninja came to my right, wielding a katana blade in his hands, as he began to strike at me, I grabbed one of his arms, pressed a pressure point, and he fell down. Another ninja used his staff to grab a hold of me from behind; I struggled for a bit, but then hurled a rock at his face using my earth-bending, making him loose his grip on his weapon, and I took it and whacked him on the head and swooped his legs and he fell on his back. A third ninja then charged at me and pinned me to a storage shack on the roof, I kneed him in the gut, right-hooked him in the face, and side-kicked him to the ground. I saw Hun get up and pull out a sword that he was carrying on his side, so I pulled out Timaeus to face him. I motion my hand to make him come at me, and then he charged with his sword raised as I did the same; once close enough our swords collided and so our fight began. I blocked every one of his strikes as he tried to stab me or at least tried to take my head off, but the ninjas soon joined in and now I had to block all their attacks. Not getting anywhere I back flipped to a cement chimney and used my air-bending to blow the smog in front of them so they couldn't see; with them completely blinded, I struck them all down with Timaeus, making them groan in pain. Then out of nowhere I was hit in the back of the head with something hard and I fell to the ground. I looked up to see Hun standing over me with a wicked smile on his face; he then lifted me up from the ground and he threw me back to the chimney. I moaned in pain and struggled to get up, but Hun stomped my back a few times, striking the spot where I originally got hit by one of the vessel's pieces that made me scream in agony. After that he dug his foot into the same spot, making me scream again. He stopped and walked away to grab his sword as I pulled Timaeus to me and put it in his hilt so I can get up. Several ninjas soon lifted me up and pinned me on the chimney so I couldn't get myself free; there was nothing that I could do as Hun came back to me, sword in in hand.

I struggled to see, but I lifted my head to look at him, "You…. monster…" I said with heavy breaths and trying to get free as he came closer.

He chuckled and he held my chin in his hand. "You put up a good fight, but no one can save you now." Hun let go of my chin and lifted his sword to my head, "Nice knowing you." Ready to strike, something knocked him down on his back; he lifted his head in confusion, "What the…"

I saw these figures beat my captors to the ground, and I fell hitting the back of my head. I groaned in pain, rubbing my head a couple of times, and tried to see what was going on, but my vision was blurry; all I could see were four dark figures standing near Hun with their weapons ready to go.

"How many times are you freaks going to get in our way?!" Hun yelled out.

"Didn't yo mama tell ya that it's not nice to hit a lady?" I heard one of them say, with a thick accent.

"Yeah, not cool dude." Another one said, with a surfer-like accent.

One of them looked at me, "What is it that you want with her?" he asked, his voice was smooth and gentle.

"That's for the Shredder to decide. Not that you freaks would care about that brat." Hun said to them.

"We may not know what the Shredder is planning, but we will stop you." I heard the fourth one say, with a strong voice. He looked at me, and then back at Hun, "You want her? You have to go through us."

I blacked out for a moment as I heard grunting and metal clashing together; when I opened my eyes the four figures were beating Hun down with their fists, but soon the other ninjas were attacking them. They were able to fight most of them off, until one of them was kicked in the chest area and fell my way, facing me. I looked at this one in front of me, he wore a purple bandanna across his eyes, but a couple of ninjas were soon coming up on him from behind.

"B-Behind you." I said with a heavy breath to him.

Luckily he blocked their attacks and knocked them out and soon joined the others. All the ninjas were taken care of, except Hun. The four of them soon kicked him together, tossing him off the building and crashed into something made of glass and metal, I think. It was silent as I tried to drag myself forward, but didn't get that far as everything started to turn black. Those four that saved my life ran to me, I'm guessing to see if I was alright. Everything soon became black as my eyes closed, and my breathing became heavier than before, and all I did was hear their voices.

"She's hurt pretty bad. If she doesn't get any medical attention soon, then I don't think she will make it."

"Those Foot goons took a real beatin' outta her."

"Dudes, what do we do? We can't leave her here."

"Whaddya think 'Fearless Leader'?"

"We'll take her with us. Now let's go before more ninjas start coming."

One Hour Later…

Leo's P.O.V.:

When we got back to the Lair, I held the girl that we saved in my arms while Donny went to get her bandages and aspirin, Mikey and Raph went to tell Master Splinter what had happened on our patrol. After they told him, sensei said to let her rest until she wakes up; everyone has been doing their own thing since then, but I stayed in the living room, sitting on an arm chair as she slept on the couch. I checked with Donny to see if she had any major injuries, and he said that she had a brooze on her back that swelled up, but other than that she was fine. I don't know what it is about this girl, but I was intrigued by her; it was like an angel had fallen from Heaven and we saved her.

"What does the Shredder want with you?" I thought the question to myself. I knelt down beside her, "Uh.. hi. I don't know if you can hear me, but I want you to know that you're safe. To be honest with you, I may not know who you are or where you are from, but me and my family will protect you from the Shredder. That's a promise." I touched her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, "I promise." I said to her in a whisper.

A moment later I heard light moaning coming from her as she moved her head from side-to-side, and I took my hand off hers as she continued on the couch. Her eyes soon opened; she looked around and then she looked straight at me. I didn't know how she would act looking at me as I prepared for her to freak out, then she gave me a small smile. I never really expected that from anyone let alone a beautiful girl like her, but I snapped out of it as I saw her try to sit up.

"It's okay. You're safe." I said to her gently.

"Where….where am I?" she asked me with a soft tone.

I was about to answer her until I heard my brothers coming from behind me and soon stood in front of her by my side. She looked at them with her eyes growing bigger, but she kept herself calm enough to not freak out.

"Well look who finally woke up." Raph said to her, being nice.

"Hi." Mikey said to her with a big smile on his face, waving at her.

"How are you feeling?" Donny asked as he carried a glass of water to her.

"Fine thank you." She answered with sweetness in her voice. "E-Excuse me, but could I sit up?" she asked us.

"Yeah, hold on. I'll help you." I told her as I got up and carefully sat her up on the couch. "Is that better?" I asked.

She nodded, "Yes. Much better."

"Here," Donny handed her the glass of water, "you must be thirsty."

She smiled and took the glass, "Thank you." She took a couple of sips and held the glass in her hands, then she looked at us again. "Forgive me. I-I do mean to stare." She told us.

"You don't owe us any apology." I said to her with a smile.

She looked at me with a small smile, but it soon disappeared. "If you don't mind me asking, who are you?"

I took a deep breath and answered, "I'm Leonardo and these are my brothers," I motioned to them, "Raphael," with the red bandanna and sais, "Donatello," with the purple bandanna and bo staff, "and Michelangelo." with the orange bandanna and nunchakus.

She looks at us for a moment and smiled. "Verena."

"Excuse me?" I asked her.

"My name is Verena Ishtar and it's a pleasure to meet you all." She told us still keeping her smile.

"Likewise, Verena." I said to her, with a lot of questions in my mind to ask her.

Well that took longer than expected. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed it and please read and review and there will be more to come soon. Until next time :)
