A/N: Welcome to the second chapter of Teenage Human Ninja Girl where we will finish Rise of the Turtles! Enjoy!

'Is this really necessary, Dad?' inquired Lilly as her father snuck up from behind her and laid his large, warm hands over his daughter's exasperated brown eyes. 'I am fifteen now, you know, not five.'

'Don't remind me,' he muttered as he steered her forward. 'My sweet little girl has suddenly become a beautiful young woman while her old man's hair is turning grayer by the second.'

Lilly laughed. 'Dad, I've told you a million times already, your hair is not turning gray. It may be thinning though.'

Robert sighed dramatically. 'You're never going to give your old man a break, are you?'

The young kunoichi pretended to think about it before grinning. 'Nah, where's the fun in tha-whoa.'

Her father had uncovered her eyes to reveal a gorgeous dark pink battle outfit that looked like a kimono but with pant legs. Intricate black swirls decorated every inch of it. There was also a black belt with a holster for her tonfas.

'Happy birthday, Lillian.'

~ Teenage Human Ninja Girl ~

"Well, what do you guys think?" I inquired as I stepped into the living room of the Turtles' lair where the guys had been waiting for me. I had changed into the battle outfit my dad had given me for my birthday only a few months before. I also wore black boots that rested halfway up my calves. "Cool, right?"

"Now that's a battle outfit," whistled Mikey.

"I'll say," agreed Donnie. "Where'd you get it, Lilly?"

"My dad," I replied as I pulled my long brown hair up into a ponytail. "He gave it to me for my birthday before he sent me here."

"Your dad gave you a battle outfit for your birthday?" repeated Leo, cocking an eyebrow. "Seriously?"

"Why not?" I shot back, tying my pink headband on.

"Clearly Lillian's father was concerned for his daughter's safety and wanted to make sure she was properly protected before sending her here," Splinter interjected thoughtfully before his son could reply. We all stared at him. The ninja master smiled slightly though his dark eyes displayed pain. "A father is always worried about his children whom he loves more than anything else."

I smiled in return before realizing there was someone who had not voiced his opinion about my battle outfit yet. I turned to the silent turtle. "You've been awfully quiet, Raph. What do you think about my battle outfit?"

"Yeah, Raph," sang Mikey as he danced around his brother. "What do you think?"

At first Raph had just been standing there a couple feet away from me with his mouth slightly open and his eyes a little wider than normal. It wasn't until Mikey started to dance around him that he snapped out of his trance and whacked his brother upside the head.

"Ow!" whined Mikey, rubbing the spot.

"You can't say you didn't deserve it," I pointed out with a laugh making Raph turn his attention back to me. "So, what do you think?"

"You, uh, look great," he murmured, coloring as he turned away.

I grinned. "Thanks. Now, shall we get this show on the road? It is almost midnight."

I stared at our fearless leader as I spoke.

Leo nodded, smirking. "I've got the perfect plan too."

"Oh really? It was my turn to quirk an eyebrow. "And what plan is that?"

"You'll see," he replied, still smirking.

~ Teenage Human Ninja Girl ~

"Enlighten me, how is ramming a van into the front gate of the enemy's HQ ninja-y?" I demanded as the Turtles and I scaled the outside of the building.

"It's called a distraction," Leo muttered back. "While they're focused on the gate, we'll sneak in via the vents."

"Oh in that case this will be a piece of cake," I replied, rolling my eyes as we entered the building through the ventilation system.

"I've never seen technology like this before," breathed Donnie as he looked around and continued to geek out. "This is incredibly advanced stuff."

In his defense, neither had I. While living with my father in Tokyo, I had seen a lot of their modern technology but this place was something straight out of a syfy movie. Unfortunately our ogling was cut short as more of those strange men in suits appeared.

"Well Leo? What's your grand scheme now?" I inquired sweetly albeit sarcastically as I unsheathed my tonfas from their holster. "You are our leader, after all."

Leo unsheathed his katana and made a weird gesture with his hand.

"What the shell is that supposed to mean?" demanded Raph, sais in hand.

Leo sighed exasperatedly. "It means attack!"

"Oh, why didn't he just say so?" asked Mikey.

"Obviously he likes being difficult," I replied as we commenced our attack.

Instead of having traditional weapons like we did, these guys had large silver guns that shot purple lasers, reminding me of light sabers. Not only that, when you hit one of them the guy made a hollow sound.

"What the heck are these guys made of?" I wondered aloud as I took down one then another.

"I told you," said Mikey off to my left, dispatching his own opponents. "They're robots!"

I was about to tell him he was wrong, though to be honest this whole situation was starting to give me a weird feeling, when I knocked one of the men over and a pink thing popped out of his chest and landed on my face, clinging to it.

Not going to lie, I screamed. "Get this thing off my face right now!"

"Hang on, Lil. I'll get it off," Raph said as he placed his hands on the pink thing and pulled…except nothing happened. "Wow this thing is really stuck on tight."

"Really? I hadn't noticed," I muttered sarcastically as I tried not to focus on the sticky tentacles that were all over my face. "Just, please, get it off!"

"Alright, alright, keep your shirt on," Raph muttered back as he once again grasped the thing. "Hey, can I get a little help here bros?"

"No way, I'm not touching that thing!" exclaimed Mikey.

"I'll do it," said Leo as he joined his brother in pulling the slimy thing off my face. "Ready? One, two, three!"

The turtle brothers pulled and pulled until the thing finally flew off my face and into Mikey's open hand.

"See? I told you, I told you! But did any of you believe me? No," shouted Mikey as he swung the brain with eyes in my face.

"Alright, Mikey. I believe you," I assured him, resisting the urge to run away screaming like a little girl. "Now get that thing out of my face before I pound you."

Raph smirked while Mikey merely shrugged and lowered the slimy pink alien thing.

"Fine," he said as he threw it away making the alien hit the wall behind him, setting off an alarm in the process.

"Mikey!" His brothers groaned as more robots with brains inside them showed up.

"Now what?" I asked Leo after we finished destroying them, breathing heavily. I was actually starting to get a decent workout.

"Give me a minute," he replied, looking around.

"Those look like power conduits," stated Donnie, referring to the series of pipes running above our heads.

"Wow Donnie, really?" said Raph, mockingly. "What good are power conduits going to do us?"

I couldn't help but smile as Donatello sighed.

"Meathead, those power conduits are converging that way," he explained, pointing. "Meaning whatever is happening in that direction is important."

Donnie stalked off down the hallway. Leo followed him, pointing to the power conduits with a smirk on his face.

"You got spanked," Mikey noted, laughing.

Raph hit him over the head and walked away.

"Is that always his response?" I asked as Mikey rubbed his head.

"Yeah, pretty much," he muttered.

I laughed as we joined the others. We found April and Uncle Kirby in a cell at the end of the hallway. I pushed through the turtles and placed a hand upon the glass. "April! Uncle Kirby!"

"Lilly? What are you doing here?!" April asked, clearly surprised to see me there with four giant turtles. Uncle Kirby was curled up in the corner behind her.

"What do you think? I'm here to save you," I told her as someone cleared their throat behind me. "We're here to save you. We'll have you out of there in not time, right Donnie?"

I stared down at the turtle in question who was attempting to pick the lock.

"I just need a few seconds," he replied examining the lock as more robots arrived.

"Make it fast, Donnie," ordered Leo. "Everyone else protect Donnie."

I was in the middle of bashing one of the droids in the head with the butt of my tonfa when I heard a familiar scream: April's. I turned around sharply. Raph, who had apparently been fed up with waiting for his brother, had stabbed the lock with his sai resulting in the door opening. Unfortunately we had been too late. The robots had entered the cell from the other side and were once again carrying my family away.

We ran after them. Eventually they led us back outside where we were stopped by a giant weed. No seriously. Apparently the explosion that had resulted from the van being rammed into the gate caused mutagen to be spilled which then hit Snake, turning him into a giant weed. Needless to say, he wasn't happy with his new look and wanted revenge. Meanwhile the aliens carrying my family were getting away.

"Donnie, you go after the helicopter," ordered Leo. "We'll hold off…"

"Snakeweed!" dubbed Mikey loudly.

"Snakeweed?" Leo repeated, staring at his brother.

"You know, because his name was Snake and now he's a weed," he explained, proudly.

"We get it, Mike," I assured him before turning on Leo. "What I don't get is why I'm stuck here when I should be going after my family?"

"I've been watching you fight," Leo replied after a moment. "You're good, really good. I'm going to need you to take this thing down. Besides, if anyone can get your family back, it's Donnie. Right, Donnie?"

The turtle nodded seriously. "You can count on me."

I sighed. "Alright, fine."

~ Teenage Human Ninja Girl ~

"As if things weren't hard enough," I muttered.

Per Leo's orders, Donnie had gone after the helicopter while Leo, Raph, Mikey, and I fought Snakeweed. Honestly it was easier said than done. Not only could Snake regenerate but he could also spit acid. To make things worse, more alien robots showed up, laser guns in hand.

I bit my lip as I tried to come up with some kind of plan. I mean, I know Leonardo is the leader of our little ninja squad but if things continued like this more and more alien robots were going to show up and we'd be overpowered, not to mention exhausted. We had to end this no- "Whoa!"

I had been so concerned about coming up with a plan that I hadn't been observing my surroundings. As a result my foot had slipped on something causing me to fall backwards. I would have landed on my butt if not for someone catching me. It was Raph.

"You alright?" he asked, staring down at me. His face was really close to mine just as it had been on the rooftop. "Lil?"

I cleared my throat. "Yeah, thanks. What did I slip on anyway?"

"I think it's one of those power conduit things Don was talking about earlier," replied Raph.

"Wait, that's it!" I exclaimed, gripping his shoulders tightly in my excitement.

"What's it?" asked Raph, raising an eyebrow.

"We'll use the power conduits to zap Snakeweed," I explained. "All we need to do is lure him to the generator. It should be out her somewhere. Once we do that, we'll use the conduits and fry him…what are you staring at?"

While I had been sharing my awesome plan, something, or someone, had caught my audience's eye.

"I think Leo had the same idea you did," he replied, smirking. "He's leading Snakeweed to the generator right now."

"Of course he is," I muttered, turning my head to see our fearless leader doing just that.

"What's the matter?" teased Raph, still smirking. "Wanted to take all the credit for yourself?"

"No," I replied indignantly making him laugh. I rolled my eyes. "Whatever. You can put me down now, by the way."

"Sure thing," he set me down. "Now what?"

"You, me, and Mikey are going to take a power conduit," I told him, picking one up as I spoke. "And charge Snakeweed."

"Sounds good to me," Raph said, picking one up.

"You too, Mikey," I commanded, turning to him.

Mikey nodded and grabbed a conduit.

"Now!" cried Leo as he stabbed the generator with his katana causing sparks to shoot out of it.

We charged Snakeweed and electrocuted him causing him to blow up. The downside? We were covered in his guts.

"I am so going to need a shower after this," I muttered, shaking the gunk off.

"Here, you got some right here," Raph said, wiping gunk off my cheekbone.

I flushed. "Thanks."

"Good work team," Leo was saying as he walked toward us. He paused, eyebrow raised. "Am I interrupting?"

"No," I replied quickly, taking a hasty step back. "What about April and Uncle Kirby?"

"I'm sure Donnie has everything under control."

~ Teenage Human Ninja Girl ~

Donnie had managed to rescue April but the Kraang had gotten away with Uncle Kirby. A little while after the six of us found ourselves out on the fire escape of my apartment building.

"I'm sorry we couldn't save your dad, April," apologized Donnie, lowering his head.

"What will you do now?" inquired Mikey.

"She's going to stay with me," I replied as if it were obvious. "I already ran it by my Mom."

"I swear to you, April," Don pledged suddenly, raising his head as he stared at my cousin with determined eyes. "We'll get your father back."

"That's sweet," murmured April, turning away. "But it's not your guys' fight."

Donnie placed a hand on her shoulder. "Yes, it is."

April stared up at him with a smile causing Don to blush and remove his hand before following his bros up the fire escape and disappearing into the night.

"Well, I guess we should go inside," I said finally.

"Yeah, you're right," April agreed, standing up. She glanced at me with a smile on her lips.

"What?"

"And you said this city was going to be boring."
