Before we start, I just want to give a big thank you to all of my reviewers, favoriters, and followers. You all have been a huge God-send in helping me keep inspiration fresh for this story, as well as my others. To SublimeEchos, WOLFJADE28, AprilO'NeilXO, grapejuice101, invula1, Moore98Luke, hopelessromantic4life, basecannon, and my guest reviewers BubbleEwa, TheMysteryCritic, and Anonymous, God bless you all and keep the ideas and support coming. I need it! No joke.

Because I can't respond to you guests, I'll do it here.
BubbleEwa: First of all... AAWWWWW! You are so sweet! *Hugs you* I blushed so hard when I read your comment. And second, yes... you are close to being right. In fact, you are very close.

TheMysteryCritic: I'm not telling! *Said in a sing-song voice* Don't worry. You'll find out later in the story.

Anonymous: Well... you'll just have to keep reading and find out.

By the way, I have the week off from school this week, so I'll be dishing out a lot of chapters now that I have free time. The reason I'm saying this is so you guys don't get used to a-chapter-a-day kind of thing. My school year is winding down, but my schoolwork is getting harder. What that means is is that I might go a week or two, possibly longer, without updating. It will not be intentional, I assure you.

Speaking of unintentional, I am so very sorry for what happened. I know I've said it before, and I'll say it as many times as necessary.

Okay... now that you've read all that... NEW CHAPTER! Please enjoy and don't forget to review!

Chapter 3: Rescue – Part 2

Fallyn fought vainly against the Kraang's grip. "The one being held by Kraang will stop fighting Kraang if the one being held by Kraang does not wish to be shot by Kraang." The girl rolled her eyes.

"Would it kill you to say 'Knock it off!'?" Silence answered her. "I guess so." Hearing screeches, Fallyn looked to her left. A giant weed was attacking the turtles. Thankfully, the Kraang noticed it too. 'Just what I needed.'

"April! Go limp!" April nodded. Dropping, she pulled the Kraang droid holding her down with her. It began struggling with her weight, catching her father's attention.

"April!" Kirby started freaking out, only to be picked up and thrown into the helicopter. Fallyn jumped up, planting her feet in the Kraang's robot face. Her momentum pushed both down. Its head flattened against the cement.

Whirling, Fallyn saw April being flung into the cabin. It began to take off. "No!" Hearing a kiai1, she glanced to her right to see Donatello land next to her. "Donnie!" Running under the ascending copter, she cupped her hands.

Donatello nodded. He ran, jumped, and planted his foot in her hands. She flung him up, surprise momentarily shooting through him when she didn't grunt, as Leo had done. He shook it off, grabbing one of the stands.

The door opened, revealing a Kraang droid. "Oh good! For a second there I thought this was going to be too easy!" In response, it began shooting at the turtle. Changing his grip, Donatello placed a shuriken in between his toes. Swinging up, he jammed it into its head. He then wrapped his legs around its neck, pulling it out of the helicopter.

~ *.* ~

Fallyn watched helplessly as April almost fell out of the helicopter, grabbing the edge. "April!" Her heart dropped as April lost her grip. 'I'll never make it!'

Thankfully, Donatello did. He jumped off the helicopter, rolling to absorb the impact. He leapt up, catching April. Using his momentum, he finally skidded to a stop on the ground, panting. Fallyn breathed a sigh of relief. 'Thank goodness.' She flipped down, taking the same path Donnie did.

Fallyn ran up behind the duo. "April!" The two embraced, Fallyn drawing April to her chest. April's shock soon faded to relief as she returned the hug. "Are you alright?" April nodded against her sister.

"But Dad-"

"Don't worry about him right now. We have to get out of here first." Donatello nodded.

"Let's go!" As they ran, he glanced at Fallyn. "By the way, I never got your name."

"Fallyn." He nodded.

"Nice to meet you." The trio came around the corner to see the massive weed creature being forced back towards a power generator. "What are they doing? They're leading him straight towards that power generator!" Fallyn's eyes widened when Blue-boy took out a few shuriken.

"That's incredibly stupid!" Donatello froze, thinking. "Or brilliant. Or… or both!"

Fallyn groaned. "Thanks for that, Captain Obvious." She looked back towards Blue-boy. He had just thrown the shuriken at the creature, getting its attention.

"Hey come and get me Stinkweed!" He stuck his thumb on his nose, sticking his tongue out. The weed creature swung its tentacles at the turtle. He jumped up, landing on the creature's back. Keeping his tongue out, Blue-boy began to slap the back of his shell at the Kraang.

Fallyn chuckled at his childish actions. 'He is such a boy.' The Kraang shot at Blue, some of their blasts hitting the generator. Blue jumped off of the walking weed just in time. It was electrocuted, the body blowing up with the generator. The other turtles ran towards the trio. Nodding, they ran out of the stronghold as bits of once-living weed rained down.

Fallyn leaned up against the window sill, her arms crossed under her breasts. The guys had taken them to her aunt's place. After things were explained, their aunt practically strangled the girls, fervently letting them know they were welcome to stay as long as they wanted. Once the girls had moved in, they joined the turtles on the fire escape.

Donatello pushed off the railing, coming over to the girls. "Are you going to be alright?" Fallyn knew the question was directed at April, but she answered for the redhead.

"I guess. Aunt Kate says we can stay here for as long as we want." Fallyn's hands clenched. "But I'll be a lot better when I track down the creeps that took our dad." Blue-boy, Leonardo as he had introduced himself while running, tilted his head.

"Won't the police help?" Fallyn scoffed, not looking at the turtle.

"Funny thing. When you tell them your dad was kidnapped by alien brains in robot bodies, they don't take you all that seriously." Michelangelo nodded.

"I hear that." Donnie stared at the girls.

"April and Fallyn. I promise you we will not rest until we find him." Raphael's face pulled a surprised expression at 'we will not rest'.

"We won't?" He grunted when Leo hit his arm.

"No. We won't." Fallyn sighed, looking at the turtles for the first time during the conversation as April responded.

"Thank you. But it's not your fight." Donnie covered April's hand with one of his one. He pretended to not notice Fallyn's glare.

"Yes... it is." When April smiled at him, he blushed a brilliant red, a color Fallyn didn't think his green face could show. He backed up, an awkward smile on his face. Mikey and Leo climbed up onto the roof first. Raph saluted the girls before jumping up after his brothers. Donnie hauled himself up, turning to wave. April returned the gesture, while Fallyn bowed her head slightly.

Once they had disappeared into the night, Fallyn turned to April. "Come on little sis. Let's get you to bed." April huffed, but climbed in through the window anyways. Fallyn followed, closing the pane after them. "Hey." April turned to her.

"Hm?"

"You sure you're okay?" Seeing the narrowed eyes, April knew she wasn't going to get away with a lie.

"No. But…" Stepping across the room, April wrapped her arms around Fallyn's waist, slightly irked for the umpteenth time that Fallyn was a good seven inches taller than the redhead, who had finished growing the past summer. "As long as you're here… I know I'm safe." Fallyn stiffened at the sudden closeness, but decided to let it slide for the night.

She chuckled, patting her little sister's head. "Thanks. Now, get ready for bed. I'll see you in the morning." Freeing herself, Fallyn opened the door to the hallway, glancing back at her sister. "Goodnight, April."

"Night, sis. Sleep well."

"Sweet dreams." Fallyn silently closed the door to her bedroom, making her way down the hall towards her own room. Once inside, she locked the door. Quickly, she made sure no one was watching, closing the windows, drawing the blinds, doing everything to ensure no one could see in.

As soon as she was satisfied, Fallyn reached behind her, her pointer finger tapping something. Immediately, two six foot long odachi swords appeared. Unbuckling the sheaths, the girl put them on their racks above her headboard. That done, she changed into her pajamas and climbed into bed. Her last conscious thought was something not so nice directed at the Kraang.

Leo kneeled in front of Splinter. "I am impressed Leonardo. You proved to be an effective leader under the most difficult of circumstances."

"Thank you Sensei. And I think I figured out why you made me leader." Splinter glanced back at his oldest son.

"Oh! Why is that?"

"Because you sensed inside me a true warrior spirit that could forge us all into the hero's we are destined to become." Splinter fought the urge to smirk at Leonardo's clearly practiced response.

"No." Leo blinked.

"No? Then why did you make me leader?" Splinter fully turned.

"Because you asked." Leo stood up.

"That's it? But… you seemed so certain you were right."

"As a leader, you will learn that there is no right and wrong, only choices."

"So… you could have chosen any of us?"

"Yes."

"Even Mikey!?" Splinter chuckled.

"No. That would have been wrong."

"EVERYBODY COME HERE!" Leo and Splinter flinched at Michelangelo's yell. "We made the news!" Splinter and Leo walked out of the dojo, making their way to the pit in the center of the living room. They stared at the television screen.

"A report of, get this, ninjas in New York. Don't believe me? After residents reported a disturbance, the police recovered this." A picture flashed, showing off the shuriken Leo had thrown to disable Snake's van. He inwardly cringed.

'Oops.'

Donnie and Mikey looked at each other, huge smiles on their faces. "For Channel Six News, this is Carlos Chiang O'Brian Gambe saying, Hi-yah!"

"This is awesome!" Mikey giggled. "We're going to be famous!"

"You must be more careful!" Splinter looked at his sons. "The ninja's most powerful weapon is the shadows. Being brought out into the light is a dangerous thing." Raph rolled his eyes.

"Relax Sensei. It's one little news story. What's the worst that can happen?" Little did they know, the same news story was playing across the world, showing to an old friend of Splinter's… Oroku Saki.

Fallyn's Revealed Powers: Telekinesis, Invisibility, Enhanced Hearing.

Translations:
 1) Japanese for 'yell'; A warrior's yell.

I typically say "You are such a boy!" to my brothers when they're pissing me off. Or are just acting weird… or stupid… or both. No sexist comment intended.
