Like I said before, it has been tough for the past two years since things have can crashing down on me.

Anyway, let's get on with the first chapter of this amazing story! Shall we?

New York City.

Tonight, was indeed a peaceful one. A warm front was coming in from the north.

It doesn't seem appear to be a cloud in the sky tonight. Not on a clear night like this with the moon shining bright and all. There could possibly be a number of reasons why this city – New York City, the Big Apple; all hailing from the west side of the United States of America – is having a vibrant night.

The locals down in the concrete jungle would be out enjoying their time by going to night clubs, on their first dates, concerts, jobs, night school, or even a late-night hockey game at the Laskers Rink just located in the good old Central Park. On this particular night, anyone can be out this late.

Include her.

Running from rooftops to rooftops, adrenaline was pumping through her veins. Her long brown hair was whipping in the air because of the speed that she was going in. Weaved down in a fishtail braid combine with the two strands of her cyan bandana that is also tied around her forehead and was holding in place. Another hair feature was her short bangs that is swept to her right and only a tip of it was tuck behind her ear.

On her whole attire, she is wearing a light blue short-sleeve top with one portion of the side over-taking the other. It was a makeshift kimono top that she customised years ago. Placed over the top is a white sleeve-less apron which it is called a tunic and a pair of black bike shorts underneath it all. The kind of tunic that she wears, only certain individuals wear this kind of threads. But to make sure that it doesn't fall apart, hugged tightly around her stomach is what appears to be a large sash with the same colour as her kimono shirt, or in this case, an Obi. Painted on her bandana was a cherry blossom flower. The same drawing was painted on bottom right corner of her tunic and on the back of her top.

Wrapped from her elbows to her palm of her hands are black sports wraps. And no, she's not hurt. She wears them for protection. Over the cotton wraps are metal bracers that she has attached to them in which she can delivery enough force to knock someone teeth out with a single whack. Wearing on her feet are high-knee cyan socks with black sneakers. But these sneakers are now different from any regular footwear that you see nowadays. Straight down in the middle part of the tow cap which it is sew down to make it look like a pair of Tabi shoes.

Just below the Obi and around her waist is what appears to be a unique-kind of belt. It's not really the kind of accessories that most teenage girl would have, but it does prove very efficient. Especially for her. Sew onto the belt were two small gauntlets that criss-cross each other. Encase in them are the kind of objects that fits the whole apparel. Most teenage girl don't usually carry what the young girl have in those but she does for...special occasions.

Swords. Short swords or Kodachi to be more precise. Two of them.

So, tell me, audience. Why does an average 15-year-old teenager would be carrying around such sharp and dangerous weapons? Well, one-part of her is something special. Something only, you might read in history or manga.

Just like her friends – her brothers – she fights. They fight by the warrior's code. Bushido as they called it. For all their life they have trained so they can fight and protect themselves; both mentally and physically. They were many of them a long time ago but now, there were only a few.

They go by many names. The Shadows of the Night. Professional spies of Japan. The Warrior of Darkness.

Ninjas.

That has been their title for many years since their very first lesson. You see them for a split-second, and then they disappear – into the night, without a trace.

So, the whole attrite that she is wearing and the gear that she carries, indicates that she came from another country. Somewhere far away. Although the features on her face do not match. If she was from Japan where the birthright of Ninjutsu is from, her skin and eyes would be white and narrow, not peach-coloured and round. When asked, from what her father – her sensei – has told her, she might have born here. Might. No clue on her nationality. Hopefully, in the future, she will find those answers.

These questions have been digging deep in her mind for a long time now. Along with much more. Hopefully, all of her questions will be answered. Very soon.

Only seven blocks to go on her run, it is now the right time to introduce herself rather let someone else do it. She does not like to be kept waiting.

My name is Salvadora. And what I am about to tell you is what I would consider is a life-changing experience.

Life-changing, eh? Judging by the sound of her tone, the readers at home are sure are in for a real treat. So, the second question of the night is...why? Why is this girl, again, the 15-year-old girl whom is still running on the rooftops, with only six blocks to go, who looks like everyone else when she should be still at home doing what normal girls within her age group would be doing on a night like this?

Maybe because of her good friends who are right on her tail. That's what.

She has known them for her entire life, and she can't think of one time that she has spent one day away from. Well, a few times but that was a long time ago. More on that later. They are also the ones that she can trust them with her life and without a second thought. The ones who care for her dearly in which she does the same. For these people...are her family.

Well,...they are not...exactly like people, but they are something...extraordinary. If everyone knew who they are or what they are, some would scared and run in the other direction; calling them freaks, monsters. Others would be immense or in wonders; questioning about their origins. Words like miracles, fantastic creatures, or bizarre beings would come to mind.

Whatever the terms, she knows who they are. They know what they really are.

Mutants.

What about the girl you asked? Oh, she's human. 100% clearly. But who said about being normal? Besides being ninjas? She has lived with them her whole life, so she had anything but a normal life.

Anyway, they are not just mutants. Sure, they do walk on two feet, they do have hands, feet and all. And they do talk just like you and me. They have fingers, toes, eyes, ears, noses, and mouths but in a completely different way. You think they would be wearing clothes that would make it look like they have three fingers and two toes, right? But nope! They do not.

The only clothing that they have on them are their tied-up brown belts around their waist but only one of them has a sash sow into his belt that drapes across his chest and over his right shoulder. With that, they got elbow and knee pads with wrist wrappings; all in the shade of the same brown as their belts. And finally, to top it all off – masks.

Make that coloured masks. Four coloured masks.

One for each personality.

That's right. You got the calm and focus blue type. And then, there's the rage and furious red one. Next, would be the wise and knee purple mask. And lastly, the fourth is the fun-loving and playful orange one. Once for each turtle.

Yes. Turtles. They are turtles. Of the teenage mutant ninja variety, actually. And that would explain the whole three fingers and two-toed foot situation.

All four of them together – works well. But all five – even better.

Did anyone mention that not only different masks, but different weapons as well? Guess not.

First off, is the Dual Katana blades. The ideal weapons for the leader himself. Leonardo.

Next are the Sais. These blunt weapons are perfect for someone who has the shortest temper out of all the ninjas. Not to mention that they are great for defence. Raphael.

Coming up is the Bo Staff. This long weapon is flawless for this warrior who prefers to fight long-range and doesn't value violence as a first resort. Donatello.

And lucky last are the Nunchakus, or Nunchunks in his case. They work well for both offense and defence and they do share some traits for a character with a goofy nature. Michelangelo.

And these mutant turtles...are not far behind. Did she mention that they were ninjas just like her?

For all my life, I have always wondered what my past was like before this whole adventure started.

Five blocks to go. Almost there. She was known to be the fastest in her family. But not fast enough. A green figure shoots out right in front of her. With a streak of orange on him. Make that the second fastest in the family. If someone was about to crack a slow joke on these guys,...never mind. He was now up to four blocks – that is where she was going to be in two seconds!

Wait a minute. Wasn't he right behind her? Wasn't he at the back of the pack before? How could he run right past her in just a short period of time without her knowing? She should have. She would have. Why you would ask? More on that later. It's time to get back to the race.

And it is a race that she has to win. She has to. Not when she is so close to the finish line. Once she has passed this point which it is only three blocks away, she would have a clear shot of winning. And it is all for tonight's bet.

Normally, it would be the last one to lose. But instead, it will be the first one to win. And the winner for this bet will have the opportunity to designate everyone to a job. Any job at home. And also, not be able to do any of the jobs for the whole week. What a dream would that be? Not to be able to clean, dust and scrub for 7 days straight. For her anyway. She is the cleaner of the team so; it would be nice to take a break.

Looking up ahead, with two blocks to go, sitting on was a bent, discarded Cola can. A smile came onto her face. Perfect. She has got a plan. A plan to win this race.

Stretching her right arm out, her fingers extended, and gave all of her focus on the can. For those who are standing around, they would be stumped as to what they are about to witness is totally...unbelievable. They better not look away or blink, or else they will miss a trick.

As her right-hand glows in a light white hue, so does the chosen can. It begins to tilt. It tilts some more. Hurry! Mikey is nearly a block down. The can then shakes almost rapidly.

Yes! It's working!

The can, for a second stops shaking. Another second went by, the can goes flying. It was heading straight for her. In a split second, she moves her right hand to the left. As she moves her hand, so does the can. It flies to its right as it speeds to its target.

WHACK!

"OW!" the thought-to-be-winner yelp. He comes crashing down on the concrete on his shell. He rubs the stinging sore on his face. A small bump will be formed in a second sitting above his orange bandana. The damaged can finally drops to the ground and lands right in front of him, making a clank sound on impact. As he sees what hit him, he understands now.

The can itself moved. Like it had a mind of its own. But the orange turtle already know that it wasn't caused by the wind. He has a clear idea who did that. It was all thanks to her ability. The ability to move things...with her mind.

Before coming into this family, I was born with these sorts of powers for some reason. Like it was for a purpose or something.

While resting his small but aching injury, it gives the runner herself to zoom right by him. She has taken the lead once more.

The creature looks up to her just as she leaps onto the ledge. The green ninja becomes furious. "HEY! No fair!" he wailed "You cheated!"

Anything goes, bro!

He knows it was supposed to be a fair competition. But knowing him, he would always find an unfair way to win and let the other suffer at his wrath. Plus, he doesn't want to any of the jobs when he wins the race. Well, not this time.

Wasting not a single second, she jumps off the ledge. Heading straight down, she performs a somersault before getting her feet and knees ready for the impact. As she gets closer to the ground, she sees a lone manhole cover.

The goal is dead ahead.

Just like with the can, extending her right hand out, concentrating on a new object. Her hand glows yet again. And so does the lid. The metal top itself begins to slide up, making a scratching sound, flips off and lands close to the open hole. Once the lid touches the ground, so does the girl. She has perfected her ninja landing by performing a front flip and land softy on her knees. Make a wrong move and she would have to take a trip to the hospital. And she does not have insurance.

Without looking up, she does sense that the others are not too far behind. Three of them have just landed on the last building and have joined the fourth member of the team. She shines a victorious grin on her face as they jumped off the building and begins to hop down with the help of the fire escape. That was her cue to dive into the hole.

I don't know why this has happened to me, but I know that is not going to hold me down. Hopefully, sooner or later, I WILL get these answers. And one way to another, I WILL find out who I am. No matter what.

For the first 15 years of the life, they have been training underground with their sensei. For obvious reasons, of course. But now that they are older, it has become part of their daily routine. If their guardian would allow them. When did they come up top for the first time? And why? That...is a long story. A long story that everyone should turned in for.

She was already in the wet sewers as the others have landed in the alleyway. One-by-one, the others will follow her into the pool and join her. She makes a break for it. The moon continues to shine through the open hole on this clear night.

This is my story.

Now, it was a race to get back home. First one to win, designates the jobs to the sore losers.

(15 years before the series started – Manhattan, 2:15am)

The moon was gleaming down on a serene night as the rats scurried across the alleys of New York City. Not a single sign of traffic was in this small section of the streets of the city and lights are shining through many windows as a number of citizens are up this late; enjoying some down-time or quality family time. So, everything seems to be calm that way.

But tonight, was not all that calm; not for this certain person.

A cloaked figure was racing through the alleyways at top speed. Judging from how fast she was going, she was in a hurry. But why was she in such a rush? Was she late for something? Or was someone chasing her?

If you count the heavy breathing and sweat pouring down from her face that is dampening her clothes, make that the latter.

Wearing a brown hoodie cloak that was covering a big portion of herself, she has no trouble running with it on; as well as her long dark blue skirt with a pair of her white platform shoes and her grey long-sleeve blouse.

Although she was running fast, but not fast enough. In her arms was something, something that is very important to her. More than her own life.

She had the support of two hands to carry it. And what is this something that she carries that she can't afford to lose it? She continued to run through a number of dark alleys. Many that no good soul would never ever dare set a foot at night. A few turns that she makes later but a split second later, she comes to a screeching halt.

Right in front of her was a wall. Too high for her to jump and too impossible to climb, especially when carrying something dear in her hands.

A dead-end! She was definitely now in panic mode. The young woman looks around for a few second; trying to find way to avoid the danger. Although she takes a second to catch her breath, her eyes suddenly jerk open. She has sensed a number of presences approaching her. And how does she know? Because she is not like any human at all. Another reason why she was being chased.

Maybe it's the neighbours. No, it wasn't. A few seconds after she sense her presence, along came a few shadows that is approaching her. The young woman lets out a small gasp. She knows who they belong to.

Those monsters. The same monsters that have been chasing her. All night long.

With time running out, the shadows are getting closer. The young woman slowly walks backwards until her back makes contact with the wall.

This is it. For her. And for what she is carrying, they are going to take it away from her. Probably for good.

Knowing that this was it, the young woman looks down at the bundle in her arms and pulls the covers off a bit to reveal the contents. It was a small baby. A baby girl. Her daughter. The child's eyes were closed shut as both her brown hair and light skin bounced off from the moonlight.

The young woman with tan skin and white hair smiles at her daughter's delightful face. Even when in greater danger, her face always remained calm. The young woman's eyes look over her daughter's view to see something that she did not see before.

A man-holed cover, right in front of her! Perfect! It was her ticket to escape from her pursuers. For now.

She puts her right hand out in front and closes her eyes for a second. If there was anyone around here, they would not believe what they were about to witness next. Her hand began to radiance a shade of light blue and the next thing happened. The manhole cover began to float on its own; five feet in the air. The young woman is quite pleased with this because she has a special gift of Telekinetic. And she knew her daughter will have it too. If they can get out of this mess alive.

It continues to float in the air as the young woman wasted no time and hops down through the hole. Once she is in, the cover itself falls on top of the man hole. As soon as she landed in the sewers, she continues to run with no second thought; ignoring the slimly water that soak her shoes and skirt.

After turning the first corner that she sees, the young woman was then halted on the spot. She looks around the corner to see if they are right behind her. Behind her to see no-one has followed her down here.

They have fled the danger – for the moment. Now, she needs a plan. A plan that involves keeping both her and her child safe. Maybe, just keep the baby safe and not herself. After all, they were after the child.

Not her.

Maybe, she could hide her child. Yes. She could give her to a nice family and hopefully, she will be safe. The young woman doesn't care what will happen to her. Just as long as the child is safe from any kind of harm. From him.

Now that she has a plan, she needs to find a safe place. For the second time of the night, she senses another presence in the sewer.

Make that a large one. But it's not human. More animal-like. Strange.

Fortunately, it doesn't appear to be like the ones that are chasing her.

Someone is down here! That takes a huge weight off her shoulders. Hopefully, they are very nice people that she hoped who will find the child and take very good care of her.

On her left, she sees a worn-out basket just floating around in the sewers. She grabs the basket and kneels down. She then carefully placed her baby inside the basket.

Once the baby is snuggled in the makeshift bed, there is one thing left to do for the young woman. She reaches into her cloak and pulls out an item – something that she hoped that her daughter will have something to remember her by. It was flat red pedant in a shape of a baseball that is wrapped around by what it appears to be gold metal in a shape of a dragon of some sorts. The metal itself was attached to a long brown but some-what unbreakable string. She turns the small medallion to reveal a blank spot. Closing her eyes, the young woman placed her right hand over as it begins to glow again. The light dies down and she removes her hand. Using her powers, she has engraved a few words for her baby.

To my daughter, Salvadora. Never give up on hope.

The young woman was giving her the only thing to remember her by, even if she won't remember at such a young age. She carefully lifts her baby up into her arms and hugs her. Tears have escaped from her eyes as she looks at the small child in her grasp. This would probably be the final time that she will ever see her daughter – alive. She knew this and this will be pretty much be the most painful thing that she has ever done in her life. She looks at the baby as she brushes a few strains of her hair away from the child's eyes.

"Goodbye, my child. I just hope that someone will find you and raise you to be a strong person that you already are; just like your parents. And perhaps one day...in the future...you will know the truth about yourself."

Tears have already stained her face as they fell down. She carefully places the baby in the basket and pushes it into the shadows. She stands up and walks away as she cautionary looks around her surrounds and takes one final look to her daughter. "I love you so much, sweetheart. And so does your father. We will always be there for you."

Using her powers again, the man hole covers lift off its place and the young woman climbs up the ladder and out into the outside world.

She then slides the cover shut. And with that, she is gone...

(A few minutes later...)

A grey rodent has just walked around the corner of a familiar tunnel in the sewers. He was looking for supplies for his home and his family. Like his brethren, this is his territory. Unlike them, he is far different than any sewer rat. This certain creature was over five feet tall; standing on two back legs and wears a brown robe while carrying a garbage bag filled with lots of items.

Just more than a month ago, his life was changed forever. He has lost his beloved owner from a terrible existence, was force out of his home, and was alter from a strange chemical that changed him and four other animals into what is anything but normal. And as for the four animals, they are someway; not far from where the rat is.

Still looking for more useful items, the large rat spotted an unusual object within his reach. He picks it up and dust off the dirt and cobwebs off it. The book was a little thick and there were no pictures or anything. Just only a title.

"Renaissance... Masters?" he read. Just as he turns the cover page, his ears flicked up in the distance. The rat has heard a cry. He turned his head towards the distance. Was there someone down here? He places the book in the garage bag as he walks towards the source of the cry.

He walks around the corner to find out who was making that cry. The first object that he sees was a cane basket. The loud noise was coming from inside the basket. As he got closer, he sees what appears to be a small baby. A small human baby. Surprised, the rat took a closer look to see that she has short brown hair with rosy cheeks and bright blue eyes. She was definitely a human. She was all curled up in a beige blanket as she lies in the basket.

She was crying for bit but die down when she took a good look at the rat. They continued to look at each other. The rat tilts his head to the side as the baby copies him. Seeing the large furry animal before him, she doesn't feel frighten by its appearance. Instead, she breaks into what looks like the cutest smile ever. The large rat couldn't help but smile. She looks about to be around the same age as the four animals that were mutate as well, whom are staying with him.

He looks around to see if anyone was here to collect the child. But there seems to be no-one in sight. He waited for a few minutes. Still nothing. Why would there be a child down here would be his first thought. Was she left down here by accident or perhaps, was left down here...to die?

If no-one is coming for the child, then,...he should take her. Just in case. After all, he couldn't possibility leave an innocent and helpless child in the sewers by herself. Or else...

The rat shakes that negative thought right out of his head. As acted on instincts, he knows what needs to be done. Not waiting around for some company, the rat carefully lifts the basket by the handle with one hand and the garbage bag in the other and begins to head for home.

Judging from the distance between here and his home, it will give him plenty of time. The main topic was the pink being with him: what should he do with her?

(A few minutes later...)

"My sons, I have returned."

Splinter has just returned to his home – the burrow - with as promise food and supplies for him and the animals that are staying with him. The main differences between him and them is the larger animal has grey fur while the four younglings have green skin (different shades, of course) and hard shells. Four small animals all gathered around their furry father as he has come home successful. But he has brought with him something...unexpected. Something that they have never seen before.

Revealed to them in the light, brown basket is a baby human. A baby girl whose skin is peach colour while the four kids have green all over them. She is in the same size as they are and doesn't appear to have a shell on her like they do. Maybe she does have one if they removed the blanket. The four turtles were also bald as the human has short brown hair and their eyes are clear as blue seas. They were all entranced as she was too with them.

Splinter has thought long and hard during his trip back but something deep down that this child was meant to come into their lives. Like it was a sign or an omen. Not to mention, she reminded him of someone very dear to him...that he lost. He has clearly made a decision. "And I have with me...is a new addition to the family."

The four turtles – his sons - look at their father in stunned when he told of this new "addition". Was this baby going to be part of this family? Living underground with them? Shouldn't she be ...on the surface...with them? She was a lot different than they are. Was she a mutant or not?

The old rat has very much experience with a human that he resided with one before. The difference was that he was taken care for and now, it was the rat's turn. He and his turtles have now the full responsibility to look and care for her. Until she is old enough to leave on her own.

"What's her name, father?" one of the turtles asked his father. That...was a good idea. Since she is now part of the family, what should her name be called? As the rat ponders in thought, he noticed something inside the basket. Digging his paw into the basket, he pulls it out to find a red pedant amulet. Splinter was mesmerised by the craftsmanship of it when he felt some rough texture. He flips it around to see the engraved words on the back. Including the unique name as well.

"Salvadora?" He then moves the amulet to see a view of the human baby and then, looks back at the engraved words. Splinter gives a warm smile. The name for the baby was right in front of him.

But what of the turtles?

He also then remembers something else. The rat goes to his bag and pulls out the same book that he found. He opens it up and flips through to see a number of the famous inventors and artists over the years. If the baby can have a name, so can the turtles that are with him.

For the past month of existing in his new form, he has observed each of his sons and their personalities. Carefully examine the pages, he has found four particular ones. The ones that would fit perfectly for his children. He turns to the turtles as he closed the book, "I shall now give you all names." The four turtles lined up. Splinter placed his hand on each of the turtles' head as he went from left to right, "Leonardo...Raphael...Donatello...Michelangelo...," he looks down to the child in the basket, pointing at her. As his finger comes to her, the smiling human gently grabs the fuzzy feel, "and Salvadora...my new family."

A new chapter, a new story. Let's see what happens 15 years later for the young heroine as the story continues to unfold. Find out next week on:

The Saint's Hope: 15 years later...

Author's Notes: Well, what do you guys think? Off to a good start. And I promise myself, I will not stop until I have finished this story. That's a promise!

Plus, I will get my Rise! version started. I got the first episode script written out and I hope you guys will love that version of Sally too. No news on a Season 3 just yet but my money is bring Mona Lisa and Venus De Milo to the show. You guys should check out BLUDINKDRAGONZ version (they're on tumblr, IG and now, TikTok), so, go check them out!

Guess there is nothing much to say but adios!

Until we meet again,

The DragonLord2912

Notes:

-The moment when Baby Sally and Splinter are looking at each other for the first time is a nod to the Tarzan movie (the animation one. Funny scene.)

-If asking, Sally's mother's nationality would probably be close to Native American or based on Ramonda - Angela Bassett's character in MCU movies including Black Panther. I cannot wait for BP:WF!

(From the old version - Author's Notes:

You have no idea how sorry I am for leaving this story hanging.

But I'm back and hopefully I won't stop until I have finished all of my stories and future ones as well.

I hope you guys got my message from the old one and I know some of you would be pissed off about it. I just hope that my updates will change your mind!

I know this is a bit shorter than the last one. The next one will be a short one as well as this will be Salvadora's birthday and a big surprise coming her way.

Plus, since I have started a new story and not re-doing the last one, I will be answering the reviews from the old ones. Just like the old one, I will answer them in the next chapter. Here are my updated (or same) responses:

To kilppari (Chapter 1 - Apr 2, 2013)

Nice to see that there is still people who likes more 2003 serie than 2012 serie. It's my favourite too. Your story was a good start and Sally seems nice person. I hope that you will find a balance between your oc and the original story line.
And I will be really impressed if you manage write all 7 season.
Good luck and see (or write) you soon again.

Yeah I know! I'm lovin the 2012 series right now with the lastest storyline.
She is a nice gal and I WILL find the balance for her and the story.
Yes, you will be impress! Although I did a break from my writing a while back!
And thank you for being the VERY first to post a review on my story!

To erica phoenix 16 (Chapter 1 - Apr 6, 2013)

This looks interesting.

Yes, yes it is. Hope you'll enjoy it!

To erica phoenix 16 (Chapter 2 - Apr 13, 2013)

This story is interesting and I do like.
But when Sally snapped Mikey when asked her for help just seemed kind rude to me.
Also can you show Mikey mocking Sally about her powers though flashbacks?
Also please don't have Sally find out about the Foot before the Turtles do, that would seem kind of Mary-Sue.
I really do like Sally and I would like to more of her childhood with Splinter and the Turtles though flashbacks.
Please?
Thanks for updating. :)

First off – Thanks! And I'm sorry if my OC was being mean to Mikey. It's just they're brothers and sisters and sometimes the sisters can get a bit cranky and annoyed if a sibling of their tease about something that you're good and later asking for help on that certain thing and then you began to think "Oh! So, she wants my help? After what she did to ME?" So yeah…Just like that. But deep down, they love and care for one another and I definitely will show a flashback of when he mocks her powers for the first time.

And about finding out about the Foot Clan and the Shredder, don't worry, she'll find about them the same time as the Turtles do but if I AM going all Mary-Sue, let me know, ok? Just because she found their insignia, doesn't mean she doesn't know about them.

And YES! I WILL do flashbacks with Splinter, the Turtles and Sally.

To grapejuice101 (Chapter 2 - Apr 13, 2013)

ooo I like this chap so much. plz update asap

Thanks! Doing the best I can to upload them for your enjoyment!

To Storyteller222 (Chapter 2 - Apr 13, 2013)

Hmm I am unsure with this story of yours and your OC, I'll follow out of curiosity but, I'm currently unsure.

It's okay to be curious and all. And don't worry about it. If you are unsure, you can either watch the series instead or don't read this story. Either way, it's okay!

To kilppari (Chapter 2 - Apr 18, 2013)

Not bad at all.
Sally found her own place in the story. She wasn't the best at everything and she didn't "stole" too many lines.
You've described story line quite precisely which was good for those who don't remember it well or, sadly, haven't seen it at all. For me, it was just a tiiiny bit boring.

I like it that Shredder has something do with Sally's past. It makes the story much more dramatic. But don't rush with their first meeting.
So keep going. You have everything you need for a good fick

Thanks for the comment! Espicially with the Shredder, their first meeting won't be too rush I assure you that.

To erica phoenix 16 (Chapter 3 - Apr 22, 2013)

Every Sunday? Hooray!
So we learn a bit more about Sally's personality, she's a book worm, but she's also a bit of a hot-head.
I thought of something, How is the Shredder going to react when he finds out that Sally lives with some turtles under the sewer?
Wound he try to use this to his advantage?
Also what kind of questions is April going to have for Sally once she realizes that she lives with the turtles?
On another note, thank you for responding to my commits.
I read his dark materials too. :)
Thanks for updating.

Yeah. She is a hothead like her brother but they will be at times that she thinks before she acts they you'll see down the track. Plus, I'm a bit of a bookworm myself as well.
Don't know. He might use her to his advantage. Or not… who knows what might happen?
You just going have to wait and see!

To Nehamee (Chapter 2 - Apr 22, 2013)

This looks really good and i think it will be intresting to read carry on

Thanks! It WILL be intesting to read!

To Nehamee (Chapter 3 - Apr 22, 2013)

Please do update soon i love this series

I will and ME TOO! But have you check out the 2012? It's SO RAD at the moment!

To grapejuice101 (Chapter 3 - Apr 22, 2013)

omg I love this chap. u have to update asap plz

Thanks! I will once I get my social life up and running.

To grapejuice101 (Chapter 4 - Apr 30, 2013)

I love it. I so cant wait for ur next update!

Thanks!

To erica phoenix 16 (Chapter 4 - Apr 30, 2013)

Thanks for updating.
Though I can't help but ask some questions.
When Saki was disturbed by the picture of the turtles and Sally, was he only put of by the turtles or both the turtles and Sally?
Since he lived on Earth for Hundreds of years, wouldn't be used to humans by now?
Also I know that Splinter and the others don't know a lot about Sally's origins, when and how will they find out?
You're not going to tell me now are you.
Also I saw Karai's Vendetta as well. I couldn't help but feel scared for April when she run into Karai, not knowing who she really was.
What's Anzac Day?
Congrats with your relatives. :)

No Saki would NOT be disturb by Sally and yes, he would be used to human for living on the planet for 1000 years.
They will soon… (although one of them might know something… who ever could it be?) And yes, I will not tell you!
Yeah, about that episode which it felt like a LONG time ago, the guys should have told her what she looks like. That would have been REALLY helpful!
As for Anzac Day, it is a day that we give thanks to the serviceman and servicewomen for giving their lives to protect our country.
My relatives are NOT part of the army which I forgot to mention and Anzac Day is only celebrate in Australia.

To grapejuice101 (Chapter 5 - May 6, 2013)

i love it. update asap plz

Thanks! And give me a few moments to write as this kind of writing takes time and loads of inspriations.

To erica phoenix 16 (Chapter 5 - May 6, 2013)

Thanks for updating.
It was almost like the episode from the 2003 cartoon.
I only meant to say how wonderful it was to have your relatives visit to you.
Does my enthusiasm bother you?

Thanks! I will try to make like the show. And thanks for saying something lovely about my relatives and No! It's doesn't bother at all. It just goes to show that how much my fans really like this story.

To Masomalik (Chapter 5 - May 11, 2013)

awesome story keep updating

Thanks! I will at the usual time.

To erica phoenix 16 (Chapter 6 - May 20, 2013)

So Sally can create force fields now?
Neat, but I have a feeling that it soon bring about the wrong kind of attention if some of the foot see it and tell the Shredder about it.
I'm Glad you're better.

Yep, and there will be a lot more down the track!
About me being sick, thanks! The stories will continue!

To erica phoenix 16 (Chapter 7 - May 27, 2013)

I wish you luck for updating next week.
Ha ha. Shredder doesn't know just Sally is capable of! :)
I love Dramatic Irony.
I foresee a "Mugging the Monster" situation coming up.
What that phrase means is a crook picks a fight with someone, who they think looks easy.
However they soon find out that person is not to be messed with in reality.
I know it's not my place to ask this but can have Sally unleash her powers on the shredder when he attempts to harm her brothers. Then he would understand the depth of his mistake to demiss Sally as nothing.
Anyway thanks again.

Oh yeah! He'll never see it coming!
Yeah she would unleash her powers on Shredder. But not just yet…

To Masomalik (Chapter 7 - Jun 1, 2013)

Another great episode really like to see the next one

It will happen, my man. Very soon!

To Masomalik (Chapter 8 - Jun 3, 2013)

SWEET we are getting close to the shredder saga keep it up

I KNOW! I'M TINGLING WITH EXCITEMENT!

To erica phoenix 16 (Chapter 8 - Jun 3, 2013)

Yes I do don't I? But that's just a sign of my enjoyment of your fanfic.
Anyway, I felt that Casey got off to easily when threw that rock at Sally and it hit her in the face.
He was really lucky it didn't knock her out or worse.
Also I'm surprised that nether the turtles or Splinter nether called him out on it or attempted to stop him.
They stopped Raph when he nearly hit Mikey with a pipe, why didn't they stop Casey from throwing that Rock.
I mean if someone threw a rock at my sister and it hit then in the face. Friend or no Friend, I would kick them out of my home right then and there.
I know said that you would try to keep the story like the 2k3 cartoon. But that was the one time I felt it didn't work.
Apart from that, it was a pretty good chapter. Will Sally make friends with Angel? If so does that mean she become a recurring character in this fanfic as opposed to the show?
I would ask more on the Utoms being apart of Sally's past, but you probably won't tell me will you?
Thanks for updating! Can't wait for the next chapter! :)

I know! It took a while to come up with a scene like that so yeah. It was pretty funny to imagine Casey nearly wetting his pants when Sally was getting really angry at him. And I think they didn't stop Casey stop from throwing that is well, they just don't want to feel the wrath of Sally, of course.
Besides, the rock was the size of a pebble. That's what I forgot to mention.
And what you said about felt it didn't work. Well, I'm doing the best I can and plus, I'm having bit of a writer's block but I will try my best. And Angel will be a recurring character like she was in the show. And for Sally and the Utrom? Maybe, maybe not but we will find out!

To erica phoenix 16 (Chapter 9 - Jun 11, 2013)

That beginning with Sally and Leo was sweet. Are you going to expand on it more during Tales of Leo?
Also I know it's a little early to be thinking about this will Sally have different counterparts like the other characters have in the other series?
Also that bid with Raph saying " Saying you ever seen a human in his skives? Trust me it a'nt a pretty sight."
Shouldn't and the rest of turtles know what a human looks like naked, since Sally lives with them?
I mean growing up in the lair, they must at some point seen her nude by either on purpose or by accident.
Anyway thanks for updating. Can't wait for the Shredder Stikes chapters

Yeah, I will expand it on that episode. And a lot more... Why you ask? You'll have to wait and see!
Sorry about that. Oh! And about Raph's comment, he wasn't referring to Sally; he was referring it to someone else like he said on the show. Because even if he or the others did see Sally naked, they better run for the hills! And I don't think they did saw Sally naked. I don't think they want to perverts. I think they are just trying to give Sally personal space like my brother does all the time when we were growing up. I don't think he has actually done it on purpose or by accident.
Yeah! ME TOO!

To grapejuice101 (Chapter 9 - Jun 11, 2013)

i love it. leo and sally r so cute. update asap plz

I know! I am now a big fan of this couple but Sally won't just hang around with blue turtle all the time. She has gotta hang with the others.

To Masomalik (Chapter 9 - Jun 11, 2013)

Great Chapter can't wait to read it next week

Thanks! The next one will be a good one!

To famousflawless (Chapter 10 - Jun 17, 2013)

i love this story it's one of the best I've read so please update soon

*sniff* Thankyou. *wipe the tear away from my eye* I feel so honour. And don't you worry, I will update very soon.

To Masomalik (Chapter 10 - Jun 18, 2013)

Awesome its finally don't the shredder saga can't wait for your update P.S. don't don't have a fan fiction profile can you tell me how to get one ?

I know. It's here at last. And for your FanFiction Profile, on the website at the top right corner it says "Sign Up" and you will become a member of FanFiction where you can upload stories; write reviews, save favourites, make your own profile and much more. Hope this answer your question.

To erica phoenix 16 (Chapter 10 - Jun 18, 2013)

Can't wait for the Shredder Strikes part one and two! :)
Through I think it's a shame that Sally won't get to use her powers on the Foot and Shredder when they first meet. But hey, it's your story. Do want you want with it.
Thanks for updating. :)

I know. It's here at last. And it is my story and I can what I want to do with it. But…there might be a time where Sally will use her powers against Shredder when the time is right or for some reason…

I guess you will never know when but I do.

To grapejuice101 (Chapter 11 - Jun 30, 2013)

More more more! I want more chapters now!

*looks at your review and then puts on a weirdly look* O…kay. No need to get crazy. True, this is one of the memorable moments and there is a reason to go crazy.

To dani-curtis-16 (Chapter 1 - Jul 1, 2013)

Awesome! I'm doin a sis fic too, but yours is better!

You are? Maybe when I have time, I'll have a read of it.

To Masomalik (Chapter 11 - Jul 1, 2013)

once again you made a great and wait for the plot to thicken but is sally going fight with her brothers in the next chapter i would really like that

Like the episode, yes, she will fight with the Turtles.

To erica phoenix 16 (Chapter 11 - Jul 1, 2013)

Wow! All I can say is HOLY SHELL!
Sally has met Shredder in the past.
That means that the foot were after Baby Sally.
They clearly knew that she was going to have super powers when she got older.
I know that they fail to capture her...but the thought of Sally being raised by the foot clan makes my skin crawl! I'm willing to bet that once Splinter and the Turtles find out, they aren't going to take it well.
Sally was pretty lucky that the Shredder didn't reconise her.
Now I wonder, did Sally's mom know Yoshi?
Because back in Chapter one Sally said she felt a connection to him.
Anyway, Thanks for updating and I can't wait for part two! :)

*reading the first bit of your review and was LOL* Sorry. You had to add the whole "HOLY SHELL" part. LOVE IT!
And Sally working for the Shredder? *shudders* You don't have to tell me twice. Well, I did think about that but…uh…didn't want to do it.
And it was lucky that the Shredder doesn't know Sally yet. But he might find out sooner or later….
And how does Sally's mother know Yoshi? That will happen in the future.
And for the connection between Sally and Yoshi… I think Sally juts appreciate the late master for some reason. That's all.

To Masomalik (Chapter 12 - Jul 2, 2013)

That was a awesome chapter please keep it up

I know! It took a lot of time to think it. And I will!

To erica phoenix 16 chapter 12 . Jul 2, 2013

Wow! What an end to amazing two parter!
Poor Sally! :( Finding out what to her mother though that vision.
Though Sally does bring up a good point, how did the Shredder knew her mother?
Now I have a few questions of my own, What did Serenity mean when she said that Sally would one day bring hope to her people? Is she some kind of chosen one? How many people like Sally are out there? Will we ever meet them? Did Serenity know about the guardians?
Too bad your going on Haitis with this story I would've like to know the turtles would react to Sally's tale. Though I think Sally and Splinter would grow closer due to the loss of their loved ones at the Shredder's hands.
Eventually the Shredder is going to find out about Sally's powers, I'm not sure how he would react, but I'll guess that he'll either try to have her killed or pull a "Come to the dark side, we have cookies."
Anyway I'm glad you liked the Holy Shell part in my last review, thanks for updating so quickly.
P.S. I have just one more thing to ask will have Donnie point out what I had pointed out in my last review, during the reflections episode?
Thanks again and good luck with your other stories. :)

Ok, before I ask yours, let me say this: You sure asked a lot of questions, do ya?
And yes, it was an amazing end to the two parter.
It was sad for Sally to see what happen to her mother through a vision.
All of your questions will be answer in time. You just have to wait!
And the Reflection episode will be a good one since it will be the quickest chapter ever for me to write!

To BurnedSpy (Chapter 12 - Jul 9, 2013)

great chapter update asap

In due time, my friend. In due time.

To Marcus S. Lazarus (Chapter 12 - Jul 20, 2013)

Intriguing concept, I'll give you that.
The idea of a human being raised with the Turtles is interesting but difficult to handle properly, but you manage it very well, quickly creating the idea of Salvadora as more than just someone they found while also raising questions about what her mother was so afraid of that would prompt her to take such a risk.
Subsequent developments as you explore her bond with her brothers are very well-handled, her appreciation and love of her family counter-balanced by her wish that she could get out more (Particularly since she's the only one of them who can SAFELY leave the sewers), as well as the questions regarding how her powers will develop and her ties to the Foot.
On the topic of her powers, good to see you defining her limitations and having the Turtles retain their pre-existing bond and ability to operate solo; I read one series where the turtles got another sibling with powers and he just ended up basically taking charge (The writer was so focused on that character that the turtles' own abilities were virtually ignored), so it's good to see that not happening here.
All in all, with the potential created by your currently-revealed hints about the Foot's interest in Serenity- we know that they knew about her, but that doesn't explain how they found out about her or where her powers came from, among other details-, I look forward to seeing more of this story when you get around to writing it.

First of all, thank you.
For this story, it took a lot of time and resource and pitching many ideas and scenario before coming to the final conclusion.
More importantly, your review actually proves to be the best one so far. It was really thoughtful of what you think. And what you said about the writer's OC taking control of the story, that is NOT going to happen in my story.
So, thank you so much for that review. Really means a lot!

To ezzielouise00 (Chapter 12 - Sep 1, 2013)

Wow! I love this story but I need more :)

More chapters (or something else) will happen in the future!

To Defiant Nefelibata (Chapter 1 - Sep 27, 2013)

An element of sci fi, I don't usually enjoy that but hey you're doing a great job so far! Keep it up.

I see. There will be sci fi in the story like aliens, robots, outer space and the future.
Thanks!

To i was kitten (Chapter 13 - Mar 19, 2014)

Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that. I can tell she loved you and your family very much. I hope things will be better, but don't forget your grandparents and uncle are with you all in spirit. They'll be there in your hearts always.

Thank you so much for the thoughts.
It was hard for me and my family for losing a family member. It is also one of the reasons why I took some time off my stories for a bit. They will always be in my heart every single day. So, thank you!

WHEW!

That's all I have to do for now!

This story will also be separate. So, instead of one big story, it will be by season so there will be a cliff-hanger at the end of each season if you guys know what I mean!

So, guys, once I have finished "The Shredder Strikes Part Two", I will resume the weekly update like before.

There is nothing much for to say except for "I'm SO sorry" and "I'm BACK!" Take care you guys!

Until we meet again,

The DragonLord2912)
