Amy hurried to the surface. Which way is shredder's lair? She asked herself. She tried to remember what it looked like or where it was but couldn't. She was soon running on the rooftops, looking for a building that could be it. Soon, Amy gave up and sat on a rooftop, out of breath. Minutes past before she took a big gulp of air and yelled at the top of her lungs. "Connor!" she screamed. She expected foot to come running across the rooftops at any moment, but nothing happened. She looked down and sighed. "I'm sorry Connor..." she murmured.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her. She whipped her head around to see a boy with black hair, wearing a foot outfit.

"Tyler?" Amy gasped, standing up. "You're part of the foot?"

Tyler nodded. "Glad you remember me. Look, I assume that message I gave your friend got to you?"

Amy blinked. "You... You're the one who ambushed Connor and Mikey?"

Tyler nodded again. "I need the money. And I knew the best way to get to you was through your family."

"'Family?'" Amy repeated. "He was your best friend! How could betray him like that?"

"Wasn't really hard." Tyler shrugged, walking towards her. "Just takes guts. And I'm guessing this is the part where you-"

Before he could finish, Amy punched him in the face.

Tyler nodded. "Nice shot." he scoffed. "Now, if you're done, we can either do this the easy way or the hard way."

"Just take me to Connor." Amy sighed, her eyes still blazing with anger.

Tyler smirked. "Good choice. Follow me." he instructed, leading the way to Shredder's building.

The two soon arrived in front of a large tall building. Tyler looked at Amy and took out a rope. "Let me see your hands." He ordered. When Amy hesitated, he added with an annoyed look, "Do you want to save your brother or not?"

Amy sighed and let him tie her wrist together behind her back. He opened the door and led her inside the dark building. They soon came to a large room, Shredder sitting in a throne at the end of it with Tiger Claw and Rahzar on either side of him. Amy stiffened as she saw Connor in front of the throne, tied up on the ground with duct tape over his mouth.

Before Amy could say anything, Tyler pushed her to her knees when they reached the middle of the room. Amy looked up Shredder, hatred in her eyes. "I'm the one you want Shredder," She huffed. "Let Connor go."

"You are not the thing I desire, child." Shredder replied. "It's the power you hold within you."

"Well sorry, I can't just hand it to you." Amy retorted.

"I have my ways." He snapped his fingers and a tall, hooded figure walked out from the shadows. "This man is no ordinary man." Shredder began. "He has the ability to take away the power that others wield, such as yourself."

"So he's going to take my powers away." Amy rolled her eyes. "And what happens if I refuse?"

Shredder stood up and the blades from the weapon on his hand came out. He walked over to Connor and placed the blades on his neck.

"No, please!" Amy begged. "I'll do whatever you want! Just… don't hurt him."

"You pathetic child," Shredder scoffed. "How else will I get you to use your full power?" Before Amy could say anything more, Shredder slit Connor's throat and he fell dead before her.

Amy's eyes widened. "N-No…" she breathed, tears already running down her face. She closed her eyes. "NO!" she screamed; the ropes binding her hand together broke and when she opened her eyes, they were white. Her hair seemed too levitated and her hands sparked with electricity.

"You have destroyed my family too many times, Shredder!" Amy shouted. "You. Will. Pay!" she charged towards shredder, anger and sorrow flowing through her like a river.

"Now!" Shredder ordered.

Before Amy could reach him, the tall hooded figure grabbed her arm and she suddenly felt an agonizing pain shoot through her body. She let out a pain filled screech. She closed her eyes, feel the life being torn from her body. The man soon let go of her arm and she fell to the ground, hardly conscious.

She suddenly heard the sound of glass shattering. Amy opened her eyes slightly to see the turtles standing in front of her. They all charged at Tiger Claw and Rahzar, who were blocking their path to shredder, but Leo stayed behind. He put Amy's arm over his shoulder and helped her to her feet.

"I told you not to go alone." He murmured.

"Connor…" Amy breathed softly, weakly pointing her finger to the unmoving body.

"Amy…" He gasped. "I… We need to get you back to the lair."

Amy shook her head slowly. "Bring him…"

Leo was about to protest, but stopped himself. He obviously didn't want to fight with her right now. "Raph, grab Connor and let's go."

Raph looked over at the body any hesitated.
Amy didn't care what happened next. She closed her eyes as the five of them headed back to the lair.

Once back home, Amy saw Splinter pacing the floor nervously. He looked up as the group came in. "Amelia," He breathed with relief. "You should never have gone to face Shredder alone."

As Leo helped her sit down on the couch, Amy felt tear run down her face. "I just wanted to save Connor." She cried. "But I didn't even make a difference…" she closed her eyes as Raph placed Connor's body down. She heard a gasp of horror from Splinter. Amy opened her eyes and looked at Connor, waiting for him to move, waiting for him to say it was just some nasty joke, waiting for him to say something; but nothing happened.

She went down to the floor and crawled over to her brother. She put her hand on his cold check, tears rolling off her skin. "Connor, I'm so sorry," she whispered shakily. "If only I'd seen that man coming, if only I'd told you not to go get those supplies, If only I'd done something…" she put her hands over her eyes. "This is all my fault." She sobbed. "This is all my fault Connor, I'm so sorry."

It's not your fault. A voice said.

Amy gasped, looking around. "Did you guys hear something?"

The turtles looked at one another and shook their head.

It's me. The voice said again.

"Conner…?" Amy breathed.

I'm not gone. He said. Look at your necklace.

Amy looked down at the present he had given her. The jewel on it was glowing slightly.

I'm still here. Connor repeated. It can't be your fault if I'm not dead.

Amy let out a small cry of happiness.

"What is it?" Leo asked.

"It's Connor." Amy told him, overjoyed. She looked at Leo, her eyes sparkling. "He's still alive."
