Jacqueline watched with wide eyes that soon swelled with tears as Fiona cried out beside her, having to be held up by the Foot behind her as she collapsed in sobs. Lexine stared at her fallen older sister, constant tears streaming down her cheeks.

"No…" Jacqueline said softly her body feeling weaker by the minuet as she finally looked back towards Saki, slowly wiping her sister's blood from Leonardo's steal. She narrowed her eyes on him as Leonardo rose to his feet before her. "No!" She screamed moving her arms frantically as the Foot held her tighter. "You fuckin' bastard! You sick twisted fuck! I swear to God, I'll fuckin' kill you myself!" She growled as her hands heated up, flames engulfing her fists as the Ninja behind her screamed from pain, their arms catching on fire and let her go. With a growl she tossed out a fire ball at Saki who leaped back with a smile on his face.

Leonardo stopped himself from running at the man from Jacqueline's angry outburst. He quickly moved out of the way, rolling across the floor as a large flame shot out towards The Shredder. Looking back towards Jade he put his large hand back on her stomach, looking around the room fanatically for any Foot that came near her.

Fiona pulled herself up as she felt the rush of heat pass her. Looking towards her infuriated sister she looked over her shoulder at the Ninja that held her. She felt a swell of angry hit her all at once as her eyes turned a bright emerald green. The Ninja's bodies were thrown from hers and back against the marble walls behind her. She threw her arms out in front of her tossing a force field out towards more Ninjas that ran past her towards her bleeding sister.

Lexine turned quickly, twisting the Ninja's arms that held her and pushing them back. They slid back from the force of her fast limbs as she turned and ran to Leonardo's side. Looking down at the pale features of her sister's limp body.

"Jay…" She said softly as Foot started to run at them. The other brother's were free now as Raphael ran towards the approaching Foot, fighting them back. Fiona ran next to him holding a force field around her sister's and Leonardo.

"Lex…I'm sorry." She said softly as Lexi tired to fight back tears.

"Don't do that." She said, placing a hand to her pierced stomach. "I can stop the bleeding." She said meeting Leonardo's eyes for a moment, he just looked back at her as Lexine sighed grabbing the torn fabric at Jade's stomach and ripping it from her body. She wrapped the makeshift tourniquet around her sister's waist, holding back some of the blood that seeped from her body. "It won't hold for long." She said wiping a tear from her cheek.

Karai watched with wide eyes as Jade bled in Leonardo's arms. With a glare towards her father she went to move towards him as she noticed Jacqueline winning the fight. The Shredder moved back up a step, tripping on it as he fell to the ground. He flipped his body back to his feet, ducking quickly as another flame shot out from the red head's limbs.

With a growl Karai ran towards her father's help, deflecting the flame with the blade of her katana. Jacqueline narrowed her eyes looking towards The Shredder, then towards Karai. Lighting a single flame to her finger she smirked slightly.

"Move princess and let me finish daddy dearest." She mocked as Karai narrowed her eyes lunging at the red head. Keeping her smile Jacqueline let the flame down off her finger as Karai's body collided with hers. Kicking the woman's body from her own, Jacqueline flipped back to her feet, standing in a stance. "You wanna do this, fine. I'll save my powas for when it mattas. This, I'm gonna enjoy." She hissed as Karai let out another growl, spinning her blade in her grasp as Jacqueline caught it with her metal limb. She twisted her body around as her back slammed into Karai's stomach. Bending down on a knee she caused Karai's to bend forward over her back. Jacqueline felt the grip loosen on Karai's end of the hilt and she let go of the blade, swinging her arm back as it connected with Karai's face. Getting back to her feet, Karai slowly got to hers, wiping blood from her lip as Jac tossed Karai's katana aside.

"Seems as though we are missing all the action." Bishop said to his men as they filed into the Foot Headquarters. "At least they are holding their end of the barging." He said placing his hands behind his back.

"You gonna just stand there or are you gonna help us?" Raphael yelled over the commotion as Bishop nodded his head towards his men as they all ran into the hallways, starting their search. With a growl, Raphael ducked and upper cut another foot that ran at him.

"I guess we're on our own dude." Mikey said spinning his chucks around as they knocked away more Foot.

Karai noticed a man in a black suit rush past her and Jacqueline a she watched them, moving her gaze back towards the main room floor. Narrowing her eyes she let out a growl, shoving Jacqueline back with enough room to jump over the railing to the ground floor. Landing in a crouch she stopped a man going in the direction of her father's room. Jacqueline glared at the woman as she tossed a flame at her, it fading in the air before it hit her.

"Chicken shit!" She yelled over the railing. She turned as she noticed the Shredder running at her, holding his daughters blade.

She darted off to the side, leaping over the railing as she landed on her feet, bouncing up again and falling on her side. Getting back to her feet she moved quickly out of the way as the Shredder landed in front of her slicing through the air at her. She jumped back, holding up her metal arm as the katana crashed down on it.

Karai glared towards the center of the room where Lexine still held onto Jade, the color in her cheeks growing paler. She saw Leonardo's eyes lock onto hers and grabbed a katana that lay in the lose grasps of a fallen Foot. Running towards him and the two sisters she was stopped, her body slamming into an invisible wall as Fiona's emerald eyes tore into her own. Karai slammed her fist against the force field as Fiona's lips turned into a small smile.

"I gave you my word Leonardo!" She screamed as Leo narrowed his eyes on hers.

"Fiona drop the field." He said darkly as it fell, and he walked towards the Japanese woman. "You're word meansnothing to me now!" He growled as she narrowed her eyes running at him with her katana. He caught it in between his hands, pulling her closer to him. He kicked her back as the blade fell from her grasps. He grabbed the hilt running at her as Karai flipped back out of the way, deflecting it.

"Leonardo, I need to protect my father!" She said moving away from him once more as he sung the blade towards her.

"I had to protect my family but your father ruined that for me!" He yelled going at her again as she fell back from a flip, him grabbing her leg and slamming her body against the hard marble floor. "I should have known that you'd be the last one to trust. But I did, for her, and for my family! I trusted you and now she is dying.!" He nearly screamed as Karai backed away from him slowly.

Karai watched as another one of Bishop's men made their way towards her father's secret quarters. She looked over at Jacqueline who fought furiously against her father, as he used her blade to deflect the red head's flames. She looked back towards the middle of the room, watching the small puddle of blood drip onto the black marble floor out of Jade's body. She could have stopped this.

Shaking her head she turned back towards Leonardo as he lifted the blade towards her once more.

"Stop!" She cried as Leonardo did, gritting his teeth.

"Why? Why should I listen to you now?" He asked through clenched teeth as he pointed the tip of the katana closer to her slender neck. She swallowed watching the steal inch closer to her skin as she pressed her warm cheek into the marble.

"I'm unarmed. You'll regret doing this to me now, no matter how much hate fills your heart." She said quickly as he furrowed his brow. With glared eyes he kicked over her fallen blade, it slid to a stop before her hand. Looking down at the metal and back towards his intense glare she grasped the hilt. Without another word uttered Leonardo growled using all his strength to bring the blade in his hand down on her. She stopped him holding his body away from her as her back lay flat on the black marble.

Lifting her leg she kicked him back off of her body, quickly flipping onto her feet. He growled, using the tip of his blade to stop his body, and ran after her. Flipping up onto a windowsill, using the leverage to leap up to the second level. Leonardo watched her through narrowed eyes following her suit as she ran towards the hallway of her father's quarters.

Knocking a Foot out of his way he followed Karai, almost close enough to touch her. With a leap, he wrapped his arms around her middle tackling her body to the floor. They tangled together on the thick red carpeted floor, they grunted and winced from their bodies slamming hard against each other until they finally rolled to a stop. Leonardo moved quickly to pin her down, his hands having no mercy on her delicate wrists.

"How many more times Karai?" He growled pushing her harder into the carpet. "How many more times are you going to be blinded by what your father believes to be honor?" She glared up at him trying to move but couldn't under his hands. She took a shuttered breath.

"I need to stop them." She said moving her gaze to her father's door, a few feet away. "Please Leonardo, you do not understand." Her voice softened as she pleaded beneath him.

"Make me understand!" He yelled in her face as she tried not to wince from his voice.

"I need to keep this information. I need to do this for my father." She said as he furrowed his brow.

"Why? What's so important that…"

"You will not believe me. Just, I am in need of your help and I promise Jade will be safe." She said keeping her eyes locked on his. He watched her for a moment before pushing himself from the floor and keeping his eyes carefully on her. He didn't help her to her feet as she ran towards her father's room, him following close behind.

"Oh my God…" April breathed as Casey and Joshua went through the front doors of the Foot Headquarters. Her eyes were instantly drawn to the puddle of red in the middle of all the commotion. Lexine kneeled, her light colored jeans soaking up her sister's blood, as her hands and forearms were coated in the thick liquid. Tears streaming down the shaking blonde girl's face as she pressed hard into her older sister's stomach.

"Jesus…" Josh said as the flames slowly dropped from his fists as he looked towards Jade. Gregory walked in next, his eyes slowly widening when he saw her. His heart caught in his throat as his mouth slowly opened trying to form a word. Running over towards Lexine as she looked up at the dirty haired boy.

"Move aside." He said as she nodded and got to her feet looking around the room quickly, her hands shaking as she tired to wipe off the thick blood drying to her skin. "Jade." He said picking up her head slowly, her eyes hooded and face as pale as death as he swallowed hard, placing a hand to her cold cheek. "Jade, can you hear me?" She opened her eyes for a moment nodding her head slowly as he sighed. "Dad!" Greg screamed into the opened room as Frank tore away from his daze and ran towards his son. "Wh-what do I do?"

"I need to… Her powers." Frank said as his hands shook over her bloody body. "Jesus…" He breathed softly as Greg watched his father's face turn paler.

"Dad…"

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Go help the boys!" He said as Greg stood for another minuet before Frank yelled again. "Go!" Getting to his feet he ran over towards Raphael, pushing back a Foot that was running to attack back against the hard wall.

"Donnie!" Raph yelled over at his brother after giving Greg a thanking head nod. Donnie twirled his bo staff around quickly knocking back three Foot Ninja as he turned his head around towards his red-clad brother. "Lex!" He yelled nodding his head towards the blonde headed girl that still looked down at her wounded sister. Donnie sighed looking at his shaking girlfriend and ran towards her. She looked over at him, noticing something coming at her and stiffened. He slid to a stop placing a hand on her shoulder as she just shook her head.

"I-I don't know what…" She whimpered as he tugged her body to his, wrapping his strong arms around her shuttering body.

"What's going on with her?" Donnie asked looking over Lexine's shoulder down at Frank. The older man raised his eyes to Donnie's as he sighed looking back towards the pulsing wound.

"Her powers are gone, I took them from her. If I give them back all at once now her body will go into shock."

"Well, give them back!" Lexine yelled turning towards Frank as he sighed pushing his glasses back up his nose from sweat.

"I'm going to Lexine, I can't all at once." He said slowly as she shook her head turning back towards Donatello. He held her for a moment before turning quickly and bracing his bo staff in front of him, stopping a katana with the wood. Lexi yelped softly gripping her hands into Donnie's shoulder as his arms shook from the pressure of the larger Foot Ninja before him.

"Lexi, help!" Donnie said over his shoulder as she nodded her head, snapping back into fighting mode. She quickly darted behind the Foot, kicking his feet out from under him. She stomped her foot down quickly on the Foot's neck as Donnie smacked him in the face with the end of his bo. She sighed softly looking towards Donnie with a small smile as he grabbed her by the forearm, pulling her towards him and out of the way of another Foot.

"You really think your gonna get outta this alive?!" Jacqueline screamed at the Shredder as he stood before her. His clothing burnt and torn on his arms and chest as it rose and fell quickly. Hers did the same under her dark red tank top, sweat covering her arms and breast bone. Her bright red hair damp as the wind around them from broken windows sent goose bumps across her body.

"This body holds nothing but mere flesh girl." Saki said with a growing smile. "Please, don't hold back." He said bending his knees and beckoning the red head towards him with his fists. She growled at him before thrusting her arms forward, her arms flexing as flames shot from her limbs.

He dodged them efficiently as they made their way across the stairwell. He kept a smile on his face as Jacqueline's concentration was wearing. She was getting tired and her hands started to ache. She wanted to stop but she knew she couldn't, she wouldn't let her family down. Narrowing her eyes she pushed herself forward to keep moving as the large man before her stopped. His head snapped towards the long hallway as a glare covered his features. Looking back towards the red head he let out a growl, running up the stairs and towards the hall. Jacqueline furrowed her brow for a moment and followed after him.

Leonardo and Karai deflected gun shots from guns of Bishop's men. They flipped back, slicing their katana through the air, and kicking out legs and punching out fists to any man that dare get near to them.

"Sir, they're not following orders!" One man yelled into his wrist. Leonardo narrowed his eyes on him, running at him. "The turtles are working for…" Before he could finish Leonardo slices his blades across the man's wrist and then his jacket, cutting off his communications.

Bishop stood on the second floor, over looking the chaos below as his eyes slowly narrowed. He watched as the turtles before him fought against the attacking Foot.

"Karai…" He growled slowly before slamming his fists down on the railing and looking over his shoulder at the sound of gun shots.

Greg ran back over to Jade as his father leaned over her. He attempted to give her, her powers back through the small kit he was able to bring. He needed his whole lab and technicians if he wanted to do this correctly. Sighing he lifted his head to his son.

"You need to do it." Frank said as Greg's brow furrowed.

"What?" Frank took Greg's hands and placed them on Jade's stomach. She whimpered slightly to the harsh shove on her wound as Frank gripped them in place.

"You have to let her feed off of you. Concentrate on her thoughts, she's weak so there will be no walls to keep you out. Concentrate on her and her powers, her abilities."

"B-But she's way stronger than…"

"I know that! You have to let her figure the rest on her own. She's weak and giving up, you need to keep her from letting go!" Frank yelled as Greg's forehead started to cover in sweat. He nodded his head slowly closing his eyes as Frank wiped his hands on his white dress shirt and looked picked up his lab kit.

Gregory breathed deeply, in slowly through his nose and out through his mouth as his hands kept feeling warm liquid pulse into them. At least she was still bleeding, he mused to himself. Shaking his head he clapped his eyes shut tighter.

"Greg, help…" Her voice was weak but his brow creased deeper as he opened his eyes. The normally sunny bright field of her head was dark, with skies of red. Clouds were black and the grass and hills were brown. He walked over the dead foliage, crushing under his shoes as he knelt down beside the girl. Her hand held her stomach as she looked up at him. "Greg, do something." She whispered as he nodded his head.

"You have to try and concentrate for me. Focus on me, my powers. Your powers, the strength you hold inside of you Jade. Focus, think, forget about the pain…"

"I-I can't. It-It hurts too…"

"I know, I know." He said softly grabbing her hand and holding it in his own. "You have to be the strong woman I know you are. You are still that same woman Jade, you have all this power…"

"No I don't. I don't have my powers anymore…" She said her voice chocking back as tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Yes you do, you always did. My father cut them off for your protection. I'm here to give them back."

"Give them…What?" She asked looking towards him as he sighed gripping her hands in his own.

"Concentrate for me." He said a little more stern as she nodded closing her eyes. She took in a soft, shuttered breath as Greg did the same. Their breathing became synced as the dead tree limbs started to move with the breeze they created.

Frank looked down at the girl before him, her chest raising and falling as he lifted his head to his son, seeing the same fall and rise of his chest. With a small smirk he went back to work on his small computer, trying to patch into his lab.

The blood around Jade's body slowly started to seep back towards her. Frank furrowed his brow for a moment as he watched the blood move faster, back into Jade's wound. He slowly got to his feet, standing back as the blood was gone and the red stain on her shirt was gone.

Jade sat up abruptly, sucking in breath in a gasp as she placed a hand to her stomach. She coughed a little, her breath ragged as Greg fell forward, holding his head. She helped him to sit back up as he opened his eyes on hers. She gave a meek smile as he quickly tugged her body into his.

Lexine turned towards the noise as she saw Jade, no longer with a puddle of her own blood around her. Gasping herself she ran towards her sister and fell to her knees. Tears streamed down her face again as Jade smiled and let her young sister hug her tightly. Fiona came up next, putting a force field around them as Jade brushed some of her sweat covered black hair from her forehead.

"Hi little one." She said softly as Fiona buried her face in her neck. "Where's Leo?" She asked looking towards Lexine as she gave a slight wince turning towards the upper level of the Foot Headquarters.
