Amy, April, Emily, and Vern run up the stairs. Amy hopes that they can get the mutagen in time. They burst through the doors, briefly reading the sign on the wall. They run inside the lab.
Amy couldn't help but feel that this was a trap…she finds out she was right as gunshots are fired. They duck behind a desk.
"Seriously, you two…you're adorable, really. I could just pinch your cheeks! And Amy and Emily are just the icing on the cake." Vern peeks out, only to duck again when Sacks fires. Amy covers herself with her arms, making an ice barrier around them. "Shit," she mutters, looking up.
"I understand a girl with dead daddy issues, her cousin a washed up singer who was assaulted, her aunt losing her husband. I do. But you're not gonna stop me." Vern sees a button and nods his head towards it. Amy sees it was an abort button and she nods at Vern before melting the barrier.
"This is history repeating itself. Your father walked in on me, April, just like you did. Just like your aunt too. It took a few less bullets to take him down, though. I was hoping Amy would leave New York and never come back. I literally gave her a warning! But no, she just came running back."
April's eyes smoldered and Amy pants while Emily clenches her fist. "You killed my father. You got my cousin raped." Vern grips her shoulder in realization before he runs around to the other side.
Sacks slowly walks over to the desk. Amy twitches, catching the sound.
"O'Neils!" Sacks whirls around to face Vern. April shoots out from behind the desk, pressing her whole body into the button. Before Sacks could train the gun on her, Amy jumps from behind the desk, throwing an ice dagger at his arm. He cries out in pain. She responds by spinning on the floor and pushing her legs, kicking him. He falls to the floor and Amy spits on his face.
Running over to the table, she quickly diverts the mutagen to two separate canisters. Amy grabs the canister, handing it to April. "Take it to Splinter. Save his life," she tells her. "What about you and Aunt Emily?" April whispers and Amy smiles softly. "We'll be fine. You said you wanted a contingency plan, right?" she begins to move towards the exit. "Let's move!"
"Amy!" she whirls around to face April. As she did so, April hugs her tightly. "I'm so proud of you, Amy. I always knew you were special." Amy sniffs and hugs her cousin back, happy to hear that. She pulls back, smiling.
"Thanks, April. Now go!" Nodding, April and Vern made their way to the floor while Amy and Emily head for the roof. However, as soon as Amy takes a step away from the mutagen canister, she hears a click. She stops and turns to see Sacks pointing a gun at the canister. "Say good-bye, freak," he hisses and shoots at the canister, which Amy was standing right next to. Her eyes widen and she freezes, not able to move due to shock.
"NO!"
Suddenly, Amy is pushed out of the way and she grunts as she makes contact with the floor. She looks up to see her mother…covered in mutagen.
"MOOOOM!" she screams in agony as Emily collapses to the floor. Filled with anger, Amy stands up and kicks Sacks to the ground. She looks around and finds a metal bar. She snatches it and whacks Sacks with it repeatedly, grunting with each hit. "This is for Splinter!" she yells as she hits his stomach. "This is for my friends!" she screams as she whacks him in the eye. "This is for getting me raped!" she hisses as she hits him in the neck. "And this is for my mother, you bastard!" she shouts as she hits him in the head. Amy pants as she stands up, throwing the metal bar. A hand is on her shoulder and she whips around to see a fox mutant. She had white fur, her eyes were bright green, and she was Splinter's height.
"Mom…?" The mutant smiles.
"Yes, it's me," she whispers. "B-But…you're a mutant now…" Amy murmurs and Emily hugs her. "That doesn't change anything. I'm still your mother," she whispers softly. Suddenly, Amy feels something on her back. It wasn't pain, it was…different. Amy raises an eyebrow and looks at a window to see light-blue wings on her back. She gasps and lightly touches them, amazed. "…Huh. Guess wings is another feature I have now," she murmurs before pushing the window open.
She steps onto the edge, Emily following, and looks down at the ground. "Mom…hold onto me," Amy says. "Let me guess, you wanna try it out?" Emily asks with a smirk and Amy nods. Emily wraps her arms around Amy's waist. Taking a deep breath, she jumps. Amy opens her eyes to see her wings flapping, preventing her from falling. Amy grins and Emily climbs onto her back.
She flies them up onto the roof. Leo sees her but says nothing since Shredder was inching towards him. She sees him punching Leo all over. Amy narrows her eyes and holds out the canister of mutagen, letting her anger known in her voice.
"SHREDDER!"
The armored ninja whirls to face her, and his eyes widen behind his mask when he sees the wings and the canister. He was mostly looking at the canister. "This is all that's left," she calls out, backing up a bit, ready to fly off if she needed to.
"Little girl." He jumps towards her. She just continues backwards. "That…belongs to me."
"Hold on! Hold on! Hold it!"
"Get back! All the way back!"
She catches their words and she gasps when she sees the spire about to fall. Taking advantage of her distraction, Shredder charges, but Emily pushes Amy out of the way, taking the mutagen. "Go help the turtles. This is for your father," she hisses and Amy could only stare in shock before she flies off. He punches Emily in the stomach and she tumbles on the roof, clutching her stomach. "Mom!" Amy shouts and she laughs softly. She slowly stands up and turns to Shredder, shaking. She could barely even do anything right now. She was feeling weak.
He tackles her, sending both of them over the edge. Emily screams as she falls, holding onto the mutagen close to her chest. She grabs one of the dishes on the metal scaffolding as the tip of the spire crashes into a building below. Gasping, she hauls herself over the metal, resting on it.
"Mom!" Amy shouts, running over to her. She grabs her mother's hand. She curses silently as Shredder looks over at her. She gasps and Shredder throws a knife at her wing, breaking it. He kicks down Emily's arm that held the mutagen. Unfortunately for her, she had a tight grip on it. Amy tries to hit him with her ice so she can distract him. He snatches the canister and sticks it in his belt. He slices the dish Emily was holding onto. Amy drops, barely avoiding the blade as she grips onto Emily's hand. Scarlet stains her lightly-tanned skin and drips down her arms from the beating from earlier.
"Amy, Emily!" Amy looks up to see the turtles flip down onto the metal structure.
"No…don't!" she yells, since it couldn't hold all of them. She looks between them and Shredder just in time to see him slice through the dish completely. Amy and Emily fall, Amy's eyes half-closed.
"No! Amy! Emily!" Raph jumps off the scaffolding, his brothers right behind. He grabs Amy's wrist, Leo grabbing his foot and Donnie's hand, Donnie grabbing Mikey's foot, and Mikey holding onto the metal. Amy dangles from Raph's grip, her head dropped to her shoulder. "I got ya. I'm not gonna let go," Raph calls out, but she doesn't respond.
"Amy?" Raph asks and she slowly lifts her head to smile weakly.
Shredder throws another blade at the turtles, but Mikey deflects it with a nunchaku. It lodges into his armor. Amy looks up at Raph. "Swing us towards him!" she shouts.
"Do it!" Leo yells. Raph searches Amy's eyes for a moment, looking to see if she was sure about it. Amy nods slowly in determination. Raph grunts as he begins to move his arm. He notices Shredder pull out the blade.
"Leo!" Before Leo could throw his katana, Amy yells and throws an ice dagger, jamming into the opposite shoulder the armored ninja's blade had been in. Raph continues to swing Amy and Emily. Using their body weight, they finish the arc, Emily slamming her feet and Amy punching into Shredder's helmet. He loses his grip, falling into the asphalt below. Leo smiles softly to himself. "That's my girl," he whispers.
Amy didn't let on, but she heard him, feeling a blush on her cheeks. Grunting, she manages to lock her feet onto the spire and anchors herself up with help from Raph. Amy helps her mother up and she stabilizes herself against the spire. "So you can fly now?" Raph asks, turning to her. "Yes. Or least, I could," she answers, looking at her broken wing. Before he could say anything, the spire begins creaking…
Just before it falls.
Raph shifts his stance and Amy looks down in fear. Donnie looks up. "I think this is it, guys!" Leo gulps.
"Does anyone have anything they want to say?" Leo asks and Amy shakes her head no nervously. "Donnie?"
"I'm the one who licks the icing off the Pop Tarts every morning and puts them back in the box!" Amy sticks out her tongue in disgust. Originally, she wanted to laugh, but the situation was dire and not only that, that sounded disgusting.
"No, no, no, no!" Amy shouts. "I love Splinter!" Emily exclaims to Amy's shock and joy.
"I so did not understand the ending of Lost!" Mikey screams and Amy chuckles to herself.
"Raph?" Amy looks at the turtle next to her.
"Uh…I just uh…if this is our last moment together, I just want you guys to know I'm sorry. I'm sorry I was so hard on you. Every time I pushed you, I…I threatened you, I yelled at you, I pushed you beyond your limits, it was because I believe in you!"
Amy gives a soft look.
"I believe in each one of you! I believe in your spirit and your intelligence and your potential and your bravery!" Amy smiles at him. "And every time I talked about walking away, it was because I was scared! I just didn't think I was good enough to stand next to you and call you family and say to you…I love you! I love you guys so much!"
Everything stops.
Amy looks up from her spot. She looks around. The guys were supporting the spire.
"Raph? We made it," Donnie points out. Mikey moves his head to look at Raph.
"Are you crying?" The scent of salt said yes.
"No, ding-dong. It's just a little dusty out here." Amy chuckles before she suddenly sneezes in a high-pitched voice, proving Raph's point. They laugh at this and Leo thought it was the cutest sneeze ever. "Bless me," she says sarcastically.
Emily hugged her arms to her chest as Donatello injected the mutagen into Splinter. Her heart and mind were ablaze with prayers, desperately hoping, he would be alright. His sons and Amy huddled around, praying the same thing. She looked up at a gasp.
"Mikey..."
"Huh?"
"Mikey, come closer." The orange-bandana wearing turtle leaned over his sensei/father, cupping his ear to hear him better. As soon as Mikey pulled back, Leo pounced.
"What'd he say? What he'd say?"
"He said, please get your knee off my chest." The others began to laugh in relief.
"Sensei!"
"You're alive!" Raph grinned, full on grinned.
"It worked!"
"I'm sorry. This was all my fault."
"You were right. We weren't ready." Splinter sighed.
"No. It was I, who wasn't ready. To let you go. All you need, was to discover that your true power lies in believing in one another."
The brothers stepped back, looking at each other. Mikey put his hands on his head, removing them and making explosion noises. Amy snickers, covering her mouth. Emily laughed softly, catching Splinter's attention. Motioning to his sons, they helped him stand. Emily stood there with a smile and tears running down her face as Splinter walked towards her.
"Emily..." He wrapped one arm around her waist as he lifted his other hand to her cheek and rubbed her tears away.
"Yeah?" Splinter smiled, yanked her to his chest, causing her to gasp in surprise, and wrap her arms around him. Splinter tightened his grip on her, and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "Splinter! What are you do-"
"I love you too." Her eyes widened, and then she smiled softly at him as she looked up at him as he looked down at her. Their eyes closed slowly as they leaned towards each other and then their lips met in a passionate kiss. The turtles and Amy cheered and clapped each other on the shoulder. Emily and Splinter broke the kiss, and smiled at each other with love in their eyes.
"You know what this means?" Mikey grabbed Raph, shaking him back and forth. "We have a real mom and sister now!" Emily laughed, pure joy filling the air.
"Of course, sweetie." Mikey whopped, wrapping his arms around his father and Emily. The others shrugged, joining in on the group hug. Splinter chuckled, resting his forehead on Emily's temple. She hummed, pressing into the touch.
"Looks like Amy and I will be staying a longer than anticipated." He chuckled, kissing her cheek.
"I think we can deal with that. After all, our family is only as strong as it is because of you." Emily smiled, sighing in content.
"Yeah. I guess you're right." She smiled at her sons and daughter.
Splinter turned her head with his hand and kissed her again.
"I love you Emily O'Neil, forever and always," He said to her softly while smiling. She smiled back at him.
"I love you Master Splinter, forever and always."
She rested her head on his chest as he laid his chin on her head.
"So, how are you guys going to sleep together, and make love in bed, also when will we expect little siblings?" Mikey asked.
Emily and Splinter's heads shot up towards him. Their eyes were wide and they were blushing up a storm. Amy, Leo, Raph, and Don glared at Mikey.
"Shut up, Mikey!"
Donnie lays a hand on Amy's shoulder.
"Come on, let's get your wing fixed." Leo and Donnie help her up, walking to his lab. Mikey smiles and makes his way to the TV. Raph sighs and looks at Splinter.
"You know, I never knew what it was like to have a mom and a sister." Splinter smiles at Emily.
"You have the chance to find that out now, my son."
