"I don't like this Casey." April said, tears slowly dried on her face as she looked out of her apartment window. Casey sighed getting up from his seat on the couch, wrapping his arms slowly around April's tiny waist. He placed his head on her shoulder as they both looked out towards the night of the city.

"I don't either babe, but they're big boys they can handle this. They've handled worse." Casey said softly in her ear as she closed her eyes.

"Master Splinter isn't there."

"They've done things without Splinter before too." Casey shrugged. "And the girls are with 'em."

"The girls aren't ready." April sighed as Casey turned her body towards him.

"Babe, they're more than prepared for this. They've been going to Franks for months now, preparing for just this."

"What if something happens, and we're not that Case! I wouldn't be able to live with myself." She said dropping her head as Casey sighed tugging her body into his with a hug.

There was a knock on their apartment door as they both looked towards it with furrowed brow. Exchanging worried glances to each other April rubbed his arm softly before he slowly slid his arms away from her grabbing his bat that leaned against the windowsill.

"Stay here." He whispered as he walked over to the door slowly looking out of the peephole. Furrowing his brow he opened the door slowly. "Frank?"

"We weren't follow." Gregory said with his arms crossed beside his father as Casey nodded his head letting them all in.

"Nice digs." Joshua said looking around the apartment as April ran over towards Frank.

"Have you heard anything?" She asked desperately as he sighed shaking his head.

"This is all my fault." He said bowing his head as April and Casey exchanged worried glances.

Jade grinded the heal of her palm into her eyes in circles as she sat on the cold metal bench they were offered in their small cell. Fiona and Michelangelo sat in the corner, huddled together as she shook slightly holding her head from the slow growing migraine she was getting. Jacqueline paced before the metal bars as Raphael leaned against them watching her with an arched brow. Leonardo leaned against the cement wall beside Jade, his glare set straight ahead at whoever was to come up to those bars before him, his arms crossed and posture straight. Donatello and Lexine leaned against the wall beside Fiona and Mikey, Donnie keeping his arm around Lexi's shoulder holding her tight.

Jade couldn't help but feel her body tremble. Her powers had been stripped from her completely ever since the night before Bishop and his men showed up. She tired to focus, she tired to keep her head from pounding, memories coming and going but couldn't.

She kept hearing her father's voice saying he was proud of her and made her stomach churn. The feel of Leonardo's arms around her, his soft voice whispering he loved her echo in her head as she felt her throat line with salvia from bile rising up. Her hands trembled as they pressed against her temple. She hated this, she hated not knowing what was going to happen. Bishop promised her powers back, Lexine and Jacqueline had theirs.

Turning her head slowly she took a look over at her youngest sister. Fiona sat hunched in Mikey's arms as her face lost most of its color. Her breathing was heavy as she picked her head up slowly meeting Jade's gaze.

"You ok little one?" Jade asked softly as Fiona nodded her head.

"Just scared." Fiona shrugged as Jade smirked.

"Nothing is going to happen to you." Jade said softly "We wouldn't let it." Fiona nodded her head slowly as Mikey smiled a little at Jade before kissing Fiona on her cheek.

"She's right babe." He whispered softly.

"Are you alright?" Lexine asked her older sister as Jade lifted her head forcing a smile.

"Yeah."

"Really?"

"Yes." Jade said shortly sitting up as straight as she could and fixing her hair a bit.

"Does your head seem clearer?"

"Yes." Jade said looking at Lexine as Jacqueline stopped her pace looking back and forth at her sisters. She furrowed her brow for a moment as Lexi just kept a gaze on Jade. "I'll figure it out." She sighed after awhile as Lexine shook her head.

"What do ya mean, you'll figure it out?" Jacqueline interjected as Lexi shook her head.

"Nothing." Jade said placing her hands in her hair holding it back as she braced her elbows on her knees.

"Jade without your…"

"I'll be fine!" Jade snapped as she picked her head up looking at the blonde twin. Lexine furrowed her brow as Jac did the same about to say something as Lexi placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Maybe you should…" Leo started looking down at Jade as she growled moving her hands through her hair.

"I'm not doing anything Leonardo! So just forget it. This my family as much as it is yours, I'm not letting them down. I did fine with Karai, so I can do even better with Foot Ninja."

"The Shredder is who you need to take out." Lexine said with a slight shrug. "And without your powers than…"

"Than what? I'm not weak just because I don't have powers!" Jade said standing and facing Lexine as she narrowed her eyes slightly taking a step forward. Donnie tired to stop her but she pulled away.

"You really think that's possible? You tired to take him out last time with your powers and failed. You think now after a year you can just go toe to toe with the man?"

"You all believe you can still destroy my father?" Karai's dark voice came from the darkness in front of their cell. She walked forward, showing herself with a smirk. Jade narrowed her eyes at the slim Japanese woman.

"We are staying with the plan, whatever to keep my family safe. How do we know you're not lying just as Bishop has lied?" Jade said stepping towards the bars of the cell.

"Because you have my word." Karai said with a small smile as Jade slammed her hand against the bars.

"Bullshit! We trust no one but ourselves." She said turning a glare towards the woman.

"You are already at my mercy little girl, I'd be aware of your tongue." She hissed as Jac rolled her eyes.

"Yeah…Whateva."

"Karai you give your word to me now that this is going to go as you said it would. We are safe at the end of all this and go home if we help your father." Leonardo said stepping forward as Jade looked between the both of them with disgust. Karai turned towards Jade and smirked slightly as she raised her hand to Leonardo.

"I give you my word Leonardo." She said keeping his gaze for a moment as Leo grasped her hand tightly pulling her hand into the bars.

"No tricks Karai." He growled slightly as she tired to pulled free.

"My word Leonardo." She struggled. "You have my word." He let her go as she rubbed her wrist for a moment.

"We were told that if we interfere with any of this they and we would be killed." April said as her, Casey, Frank and his boys sat at her kitchen table.

"Well, we have the upper hand. Bishop knows nothing of my boys and their powers. Only the girls and the turtles are aware of them. And now, of course you." Frank said folding his hands on the table in front of him.

"We'll be able to help them. Something is keeping me from Jade's mind which isn't good. I'm not aware of what's going on." Greg said as he ran a hand through his dirty blonde hair.

"I did that." Frank said turning towards his son. Greg furrowed his brow.

"Wait…What? Why?" He asked turning in his seat.

"It's safer that way. Bishop can't know what's going on, I had to take all percussions with this." Frank said smiling towards April, trying to excuse their family feud.

"Are you kidding me, dad, that means that…"

"I know what it means!" Frank snapped before taking a slow breath and clearing his throat. "Excuse me." He said getting from the kitchen table and grabbing Greg by the collar of his shirt. Josh watched with a smile as Frank grabbed him as well leading both of them outside the apartment. "This is something you two have been preparing for most of your lives. This man is the root to everything Gregory was trying to find in the government. Why he was fighting the system and why he is dead now. This whole thing is going to be something harder than anything you'll ever go up again and you need to be careful and ready, you understand me?" Frank said eyeing his sons before they both nodded slowly.

"What 'bout Saki I thought…"

"Saki was the reasoning why Gregory wanted to focus more on what the government was studying. Saki is one of the most wealthiest men in this country. He's cleaning up this city left and right, covering up. But, covering up what?" Frank said trying to get his sons to catch on. Greg made a face raising his eyebrows.

"I don't get it…" Josh said furrowing his brow as Greg rolled his eyes.

"Gregory was trying to find out what he was covering." Greg breathed as Frank nodded his head.

"Exactly, and now the most able secret agent of this country is dead because of Bishop and Saki." Frank said adjusting his glasses.

"So what the hell are we gonna do?" Josh asked a little more worried than he wanted to give off.

"We're going to sabotage Bishop, and in the process take down Saki."

"That's rough." Josh sighed as Greg rolled his eyes.

"We'll be able to do it. We just need to get the girls out of there." Greg said as Josh furrowed his brow.

"And the turtles. Ya know, trained ninja? Those might come in handy too."

"So you have captured the turtles?" Bishop asked with a smirk as Saki kept his face and posture straight as his hands were clasped tightly behind his back.

"I can trust that there will be no complications." Saki asked arching a brow as he looked down at the screen before him. Bishop nodded his head once.

"My men will be there to pick up our information." Bishop smirked as the screen went blank. Karai looked down at her father as he kept his face straight.

"Go, and bring them to me. He shall get his 'information'. In the pieces they remain in." He said as Karai nodded her head leaving her father's room.

She walked down the hall towards the holding cells as she kept feeling a gnawing feeling in her stomach. She couldn't just hand them over, not when she knew Bishop was lying. The information he is seeking isn't just those freaks. Narrowing her eyes and making her steps heavy she stormed into the holding cells and moved away the Foot Ninja that stood guard.

"It's time." She said opening the doors as everyone looked up at her.

The eight were dragged into the large main room of the Foot Headquarters, being held by the arms by Foot Ninja.

Jade was thrown forward first at the feet of Saki as she lifted her head, moving her hair from her face. He lifted her to her feet as she winced slightly from the grip he applied on her shoulder.

"This is something I've been waiting for, for a very long time little girl." He hissed as she rolled her eyes.

"Don't have much of a life then do you?" She quipped as he narrowed his eyes swinging his arm back at her. It connected hard with the side of her face as she fell to the ground from its impact. He furrowed his brow turning towards her as she lay, holding her reddened cheek.

With a smile he leaned down as she glared at him from behind her hand that clasped against her sore cheek bone. Eyeing her carefully he stood back up, bringing her with him as he steadied her to stand up right.

"Where are your powers now?" He growled pacing before her as she stood still watching him carefully. "You're worthless without your powers." He said with a slight smirk. "So you won't be missed." He said looking towards a Foot who held out a katana, handing it over to Saki.

Jade watched the glistening blade, Leonardo's blade being given to the hands of Saki as she felt her heart beat faster. She tired to focus, but nothing could calm itself long enough to grasp the powers to toss the object from his hands. He walked towards her as he held the blade out in front of him, placing the tip in his palm. She swallowed hard placing her hands behind her, feeling tears work their way into her eyes. She clenched them shut to shut out Saki's sickening smile. She could hear Fiona's whimpers from behind her and wished to God that she could send her sister a few words of strength but could do nothing but stand there.

"Shredder, stop!" Leonardo growled as he tried to fling his arms free from their hold. Saki turned his glare behind Jade towards Leonardo as he motioned for the Ninja to free him. They looked amongst each other for a moment before letting the angry turtle's arms free.

Leonardo ran towards Jade quickly as he could as he saw Saki's hand thrust his blade forward. Jade fell into Leonardo's arms before her body fell limp to the ground. Warm blood seeped out from her body and onto his green skin. Opening her eyes slowly she smiled up at his eyes wrapped in blue, glistening with tears. She placed a hand on his cheek letting it glide across his green skin as a streak of red followed.

"I love you." She said softly, her eyes slowly fluttering closed.

"No…" He whispered softly, leaning his head down towards hers. "Jay, Jade please…" He sighed as he placed his large hand over the wound. Pressing hard to try and stop the bleeding, he bunched her shirt up and pressed into it. "You can't leave me." He said softly.

"I'm not ever going to leave you." She whispered back, her voice slowly trailing off as tears streamed down his cheeks. "Say you love me." She said opening her eyes again. He shook his head as she smiled a little and nodded. "I need to know…"

"Of course I do…" He said trying to keep his tears at bay. "I love you." He said softly in her ear as he felt her shaking breath that washed against his check slowly fade.

Picking his head up slowly from her, his eyes narrowed darkly on Saki as he smirked wiping the blood off of Leonardo's blade. He stood watching the dying girl in Leonardo's arm slowly turn pale as the blue-clad turtle got to his feet, his hands coated in his loves blood clenching into tight fists.
