Hey everyone! I'm not gonna ssay much because I know you all want to skip to the story, so all I have to say is enjoy this chapter.

"Where's your bracelet Scarlett?"

I didn't say a word. What could I say?

"Yeah." Said Leo "Didn't you have a really important bracelet or something that you never took off?"

I took a step back, my hand on my bare wrist.

"I...I..." My mouth didn't say anything else.

"Where is it?" Asked Raph

I looked to the ground, thinking maybe they'd ignore me and do something else, but they didn't.

"They might as well know." Said Donnie.

"What?" Asked Raph "You knew!?"

"Yes." Said Donnie

"Why didn't you tell us?" Asked Leo

"I assumed she'd tell you on her own time." Said Donnie "Now I see, she didn't."

Tears started forming in my eyes.

I hated it when people argued because it reminded me of my parents.

I was afraid that the people who were arguing would separate. Like my parents.

"Stop." I croaked. My voice was breaking and cracking as I spoke.

I looked up with tears in my face.

"I...I gave away my bracelet." I said

I burst into tears.

"What?" Asked Leo

"Why?" Asked Raph

I couldn't talk, my mouth opened, but no sound came out.

"It was back when Snakeweed was attacking you guys and there was no escape." Said Zoey

"But, Karai helped us." Said Leo

"No." I said. My voice returned. "She asked for my bracelet in return for her help."

"So, you sacrificed your bracelet for...us?" Asked Raph

"Of course." I said, still crying. "I couldn't let you guys get beat up back there. I just couldn't. I asked for Karai to help, she asked for my bracelet and I gave it to her."

I started crying harder.

"I'm sorry." I said "But I had to save you two somehow."

I started crying harder.

I sat on the floor and wrapped my arms around my knees and cried more. There was silence. I cried for a while longer. I almost thought everyone had left, but they hadn't.

Raph, Leo, Donnie, Zoey, and Mikey surrounded me.

Raph sat next to me and smiled.

"Thanks." He said "For helping us back there."

I looked up.

"B-but, my bracelet is gone, and you all knew how important it was, you aren't mad?" I asked

Leo shook his head "No way." He said "You helped us, we aren't mad for that."

I smiled and started wiping away my tears.

"So, where's the bracelet now?" Asked Donnie

I was silent.

"It's that guy isn't it?" Asked Mikey "When we first saved Leatherhead, I saw you and Zoey talking to him."

"Me too." Said Raph "Was it him?"

I felt like I might cry again, but I held the tears back.

"I think he might have it." I said

"Then let's go." Said Raph. He stood up and started walking out the lair. To the Shellraiser.

"What?" I asked

"We need to get your bracelet back, duh!" Said Zoey smiling.

"But how?" I asked.

"TCRI." Donnie said simply and started walking away too.

"Wait, are you guys serious?" I asked "You...We might get hurt or something."

"Yeah." Said Leo. He turned to face me. "But, you helped us, so now it's our turn."

Everyone turned and smiled.

"Let's go." Said Mikey

"Come on Scarlett." Zoey said

I stared at everyone for a few seconds. Everyone was so confident, it made me happy they all came together as a group.

Everyone, doing all this to help me.

I smiled.

"Alright, let's go!"

We all jumped into the Shellraiser.

Donnie made a few modifications and we were off.

We roared down the streets, we were getting my bracelet. Everything was going to be okay.

Leo turned to us.

"Almost there-" The Shellraiser shook.

Everyone flew out of their seats and fell onto the floor.

Leo reached for the wheel and pulled over.

"What was that?" I asked

"Dude." Mikey said "That was awesome."

Zoey walked out the door. She looked around. "Just a cat!" She called back.

"Aw!" Said Mikey "A cat!?"

Mikey looked outside, the rest of us followed.

A black cat stood in the middle of the road, with three kittens. One of the Shellraiser ' s wheels had popped.

"Wow." I said "That's a really protective mom."

Zoey walked foward to pet the cat. "She's so pretty." Zoey said.

"Looks like we have a flat tire." Donnie said.

"What now?" Asked Raph "We're gonna walk the rest of the way?"

"No." Donnie said "I have a spare, don't worry."

Everyone walked back inside the Shellraiser while Donnie fixed the tire.

Zoey left the cat outside.

"I wish I had a cat." Mikey commented.

"Maybe we should get a cat and take it to the lair." Zoey suggested

"I don't think Master Splinter would like that idea." Said Leo

"Splinter doesn't have to be afraid." I said "The cat wouldn't hurt him."

"I guess so." Said Leo "So, what are you going to do once we get your bracelet back?"

I thought. "I'm going to kick Zac ' s butt!" I said

Raph laughed. "Don't you have a crush on that guy or something? You wouldn't do that."

I huffed. "Yeah I would." I said

"Leave the butt kicking to us." Raph said "Just stay safe out there okay?"

I stared at Raph. "Okay." I said "I'll stay out of the fight."

I sighed.

"Hey guys, after this, can we just...not fight for a while?"

"What?" Asked Leo "Why would we do that?"

"Because." I said "I don't know why, but I have the strangest feeling that something bad might happen. If that's the case, we should all take a small break from this stuff."

Leo Raph, Mikey and Zoey stared at me.

"Sure." Mikey said "We can get a cat." He smiled

"I can work on Alex." Said Zoey

"We can start being a family." I said

Raph and Leo nodded.

"Alright," Leo said

I smiled.

Donnie walked back into the Shellraiser. "Let's go." He said.

I smiled.

"Come on." Leo said

We drove to TCRI.

I took a moment to stare at the huge building.

A long time ago, I had hoped to never come back here. Yet, here I was.

We knew that the Kraang would be inside, we expected a fight.

But, there was no one in the lobby or the floors after that.

"This is strange." I said "No one's here." "This is weird." Said Leo

We continued roaming around the building.

"What's going on?" I asked myself.

We came to an area where we all got headaches.

"What is this?" Asked Zoey in pain.

I gripped my head.

We exited the area.

"I think that's where they are." Leo said.

"What?" I asked

Raph looked back to the hallway we had been in when we were attacked by the severe headaches. "Maybe that is it." He said

I looked back with everyone else.

What if that was where my bracelet was?

"I'll go." Said Zoey. "I'll check this place out."

"What about when you get a headache?" I asked

"I'll come right back." Said Zoey

Everyone was silent.

"I guess that means no one is opposed to the idea." Said Zoey "I'm going."

Zoey turned to face the hall and ran through it. I could practically feel her pain.

Zoey kept running through though and looked from side to side, at all the doors.

At the end of the hall, was a huge entrance door.

Zoey ran to it and tried tugging it open.

Occasionally, she gripped her head and groaned.

"Come back!" I thought in my head, but Zoey didn't turn around or come back.

Zoey continued trying to open the door.

She seemed to be both confused and dazed.

It was as if she told herself to remember something, but she couldn't remember what it was.

Then, she took a Bobby pin out of her pocket and wiggled it through the keyhole on the door. The door opened up, leading to another hallway.

I was sure Zoey could no longer handle the pain at this point.

Zoey collapsed on the other side of the door and panted hard.

"Zoey!" I called out "Are you okay?"

Zoey panted a few more times. "Yeah." She said "On this side, there's no effect. Run through guys!"

Everyone was a little hesitant.

"Come on." I said, eager to get by bracelet.

"Alright." Said Donnie "Let's try this."

Everyone prepared to run,

Three

Two

One

Go!

We ran through the hall.

My head hurt and felt like it would split open. I kept running though. The pain was becoming unbearable.

"Come on!" Zoey called "Almost there everyone!"

I shut my eyes. And then, the pain stopped.

It was so suddenly, I barely noticed when the pain stopped.

I looked around. I was in the other hall, everyone else was too.

"What was that?" Asked Leo

"Some sort of force field." Donnie said "It was the type that inflicts pain."

"Looks like someone really didn't want people to come in here." Said Mikey

"What are they hiding in this hallway?" Asked Raph "That's the real question here."

We stared walking into the hall, when we heard voices.

"-Tonight we bring HER back from the grave." Said a familiar voice.

Zac. I shushed everyone and we listened to the conversation.

I heard Karai ' s voice.

"You went through an awful lot of trouble to get that necklace or whatever it is."

"Oh it's much more than that, THEY don't know that though. They just think it's a meaningful gift." Said Zac

We walked towards the door at the end of this hall where the voices were coming from.

Karai said "So why did you ask me to get that for you anyway?"

Zac chuckled. "You're very smart Karai. I needed someone from the Foot Clan to help me."

"So you're saying we should join forces?" Asked Karai

"Why not?" Said Zac "Alone, we both have no hope of getting the turtles or the other thing we each want most, but together, we can defeat anyone who opposes us."

"Hmmm." Karai said "I see your point. But, I'm sure Shredder wouldn't dare combine forces with the Kraang."

"I'm sure you can persuade him." Said Zac "After all, you are Shredder ' s daughter.

Behind me, I heard small gasps of shock and surprise.

I'm sure though that Mikey and Leo were confused on who Karai even was, but they didn't like the sound of her being Shredder ' s daughter.

"I'll see what I can do." Said Karai "But that doesn't explain why you needed that bracelet."

"There's an old legend." Said Zac "Of Grandfather Clock that hold the Guardian of Time inside. I belive that this bracelet holds the key to that Grandfather Clock."

"So, you're saying that you want to open that clock?" Asked Karai "But where is it?"

"Worry not." Zac said "We've already gotten it. And once the Guardian of Time is out, we can ask her to peek into the future and tell us how to stop the turtles."

"Smart." Said Karai "If it actually works."

"Oh it will work, trust me." Said Zac. "Now, for our next topic of discussion. I need the help of the Foot Clan to get two people."

"Who?" Asked Karai

There was a small ruffling sound.

"April O'Neal and her cousin Scarlett."

My eyes grew wide.

"And what if I don't do as you ask?" Asked Karai

"Then." Said Zac "I'll take care of them myself."

I kicked the door open.

"Give me my bracelet back!" I yelled

"Ah Scarlett." Said Zac. He smiled and looked at me with his icy blue eyes.

"The operation is up!" Said Zoey "We know what you're planning!"

"Yeah!" Said Donnie "You're gonna hurt April!"

Zac smiled and laughed.

I didn't know what was so funny.

"I find it hilarious that you all actually think you can stop me." Said Zac.

"Maybe we can." I said

Karai sat on a metal table. She smiled shrewdly at us.

"Hello." She said "Long time, no see."

I clenched my teeth at her.

"You won't win." I said "We will get my bracelet back and we will defeat you."

"Yeah." Said Mikey "The good guys win and the bad guys lose."

Zac started laughing hysterically. "Don't you know? Good can't win this time!"

He grabbed my bracelet from its spot on the table.

"Good has to follow the rules."

Zac ran out of the room and into the hall.

"Hey!" I yelled after him "We're not done with you!"

Karai smiled and back flipped off the table. She ran past us and smiled.

"You guys aren't getting away with this!" I yelled.

Karai ignored me and continued running along with Zac.

"If they join forces, that could mean big trouble." Donnie said

"I don't think Karai is gonna join forces with the Kraang." Said Leo "There's good in her, I know it."

"Let's just stick to our original plan!" Zoey said "If we don't get that bracelet back, I see big trouble in our future."

Everyone stopped to stare at Zoey.

Zoey laughed.

"Sorry." She said

We continued running after Zac and Karai.

They ran into a huge laboratory.

Zac jumped up to a Grandfather Clock. It had special designs on it and looked ancient.

"No!" I said

I grabbed a beaker from a workbench and threw it at Zac.

The beaker shattered, but Zac looked fine.

"What the?" I mumbled under my breath. Zac turned to face us. His eyes started glowing.

"Scarlett!" Zoey yelled. She jumped up and grabbed the bracelet out of Zac ' s hand. "Catch!"

I saw the bracelet fly through air towards me.

I reached out for the bracelet.

I grabbed the bracelet. It seemed like an eternity since I last felt it.

"Alright, let's go!" Yelled Leo "We've got the bracelet!"

Mikey and Donnie turned and started running towards the exit.

"Wait!" Zoey called out to us.

Karai and Zac stood at the end of the room.

Zac held Zoey tightly.

"Zoey!" I called out and started running back for her.

I wanted to hit Zac hard I wanted to make him feel pain.

I ran towards Zac.

Behind me, I heard the Turtles yelling to me.

"Careful!" I heard

"Scarlett!" I heard.

But I ignored this.

And at the last moment, Karai pulled out a gun, much like a water gun, filled with green ooze inside.

"Sayonara." She said.

And she pulled the trigger.

You're all probably mind blown or something right now. I know right?! I told you all I had big ideas for this fanfiction, so what happens next? Let's just say it's something unexpected. I really hope you all review for this chapter, not a lot of people reviewed for the last one, but I blame Halloween. Anyways, bye! I promise to update as soon as possible!
