Chapter 13 Of:
Growing Up Isn't Easy
April sat next to Jessica's bed.She was still asleep and resting.

All she wanted was for her to wake up.But she was on life support.When she would wake up,she wouldn't need it anymore.

"Jess.."April said holding Jessica's hand."The turtles are out there for you cause they all love you.They will kill the Shredder".

April smiled as she felt Jessica squeeze her hand.She could hear her voice."I knew you could hear me".

Charles walked in with cafiteria food."Here April,just a box of fries".

"Oh thanks Charles"April said taking the box.

"How is she?"Charles asked.

"She's doing good.She squeezed my hand"April smiled at her boss.

"She is doing good then"Charles nodded with a grin."Do you know how long she'll be in here for?".

"I haven't asked yet"April said chewing on a fry."Maybe I will in 5 minutes".

"I would say a week or so"Charles said as he shrugged."She must be knocked out cold".

"Yeah that foot clan..they are something"April said looking at Jessie and shaking her head.
~*~**~*~*~~~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~

The turtles looked around for the foot clan.

"Where are those nasty ninjas?"Donnie asked.

"I don't know.."Leonardo said."they better come out now".

One of the ninja's appeared.

"Ah...first victim"Raph said getting his weapons ready.

The ninja waited for one of the turtles.

"Which one of you wants to go first?"Donatello asked.

"I will"Raph said walking to the ninja.

Raphael kicked the him and he felt pain."Easy as pie".

Suddenly,more of the foot clan appeared.

Leo,Mike and Don took out their weapons."Get ready you guys!".

Mikey kicked one of the ninjas.Don and Leo did the same.

Mikey hit the ninja with his weapon in the head and the ninja fell on the ground in pain.

Donatello was almost getting knocked down by one the ninjas but he blocked him by hitting the ninja with his bo in the stomach.

Raph was kicking four ninjas in a row as Leonardo was messing with the ninja's head by making him miss every move he had.

"Got ya"Leonardo said as he kicked the ninja.

"Heads up!"Mikey said as he made one the ninja's both knock heads together."Or did you pick tails?".

After a few hours of fighting,they were all gone.

"Is that it?"Raph asked.

"Hey I think we made it to round three!"Mikey said with a chuckle.

"Don't give your hopes up"Leonardo said."Yeah,I think we are in the next round".

"He must be around somewhere"Donnie said.

Suddenly,they heard a laugh that seemed from the roof.

"Guys..He seems to be on the top"Leonardo said.

"The question is..how are we gonna get up in the roof?"Raph asked.

"I never saw stairs here"Don said.

Mikey looked around and pointed."Look!".There was stairs.

The turtles walked up the stairs.Raph opened the door and all they saw was a dark sky with tall buildings.

"Now where the hell is he?"Raph asked.

The Shredder landed on the roof."I'm surprised..you made it to this round".

"We were trained well jackass"Raph said in his temper tone.

"You have no choice but to live or die turtles"Shredder said.

"We say the same for you!"Leo said pointing to the evil villian."Whatever you did to Jess,you're gonna wish you never did it!".

Shredder gave a little chuckle."So you were the ones who made her escape...or shall i say die".

"WE DID NOT KILL HER!"Raph shouted."LETS GET THIS ROUND ON THE ROAD!".

"Which one of you will go first?"Shredder asked.

Meanwhile,Casey and Splinter were on the streets.

"Are you sure you wanted to do this?"Casey asked."I mean,they probaly could do it all themselves".

"I know the more Shredder comes back,the more evil he gets"Splinter replied."They need our help".

Casey shrugged."I still got my ninja skills".

Leonardo was being held by the Shredder.

"He dies!"Shredder said."Give up now!".

"We've come far Shredder! We never give up!"Raph shouted.

"You will in one minute.."Shredder said getting ready to murder Leo.

"STOOOOOOOOOOOP!!"The three turtles said but out of no where,Casey dropped in.

"Hey...no need for a can opener?"Casey joked at the Shredder.

"Casey!"Raph,Don and Mikey said.

"Let go of Leo!"Casey shouted grabbing his hokey sticks.

"You must think you are that smart.."Shredder said looking at Casey.

"In fact I am,since my neice is a straight A student!"Casey said doing a front flip and kicking Shredder in the face.

"Fool!"Shredder cried as he ketp blocking himself from being hit.

The more Casey made Shredder block,the more it led to the edge of the roof.

"Ready for death?"Casey asked.The Shredder looked like he was in fear.

"I'll ask the same for you.."Shredder said pulling out his weapon.

"Fraid not buddy.."Casey said leaning Shredder against the root edge where he can fall."The question is all asking all over you".

"You wouldn't..".

"After what you've done to my Jessica...my neice..."Casey said with anger."Yes.. I would asshole..".

Casey let his hokey stick go through Shredder's weapon which caused him to fall over.

The Shredder hollered in fear as he fell very low.He landed on a bridge and crashed into a pile of steel.

"See ya in hell..".

The turtles were shocked.Casey killed the Shredder!

"Duuuuuuuuddde!"Mikey said looking down where the Shredder fell."That was a low fall!".

"Casey,why did you come?"Leo asked Casey who was proud of himself.

"I couldn't take it...worried about Jessie"Casey shrugged and walked.

"Do you know how she's doing?"Donatello asked worriedly not sure if he was wanting to know the answer.

"I don't know Don..I haven't got a call from April"Casey replied.

"Whose taking care of Master Splinter?"Leo asked.

"My sons..".

The four turtles turned around and smiled."Splinter!".They all ran up to him.

"I am proud of you"Splinter said as he recived hugs from his sons.

"We killed him Master!"Leo said happily.

Casey walked up the crew."Do you guys..wanna see Jessica?".

The turtles thought for a moment.

"Jessica..".

"Do you think we could?"Donatello asked.

"Lets just get back to the apartment.I'll figure a way"Casey suggested as they walked to the door to go down.

Meanwhile at the pile,a hand started to move.
*~~*~**~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Professor Perry was typing on his computer and smiled as he read results on the screen.It said the Shredder was defeated.

"I'd knew we'd count on you".Suddenly,a beeping sound came from the screen.It said:

"NOT DEFEATED".

Professor Perry frowned as he typed.It ketp saying the same words.It looked like bad news.A little red light was located where the problem was.It was near the huge shack.

"Oh no..".
*~~*~*~*~*~*~**~~*~**~

April was holding Jessie's hand meanwhile.Charles was looking for a nurse in the hallway.

"When you do get better.."April said smiling."I hope you'll remember everything".

Charles walked in."The nurse said she'll be right in for a snack".

April looked up."She's not awake yet".

"She said she has to bring it here.Maybe she'll be awake soon"Charles said.

April sighed."Alright..".

She was about to stand up and as she stood,she heard a voice.

"Aunt April..?...".
~~*~*~*~**~~*~*
A/N:Hey! Uh oh,who was that voice? How will the turtles see Jessie in the hospital? R/R!
