Tiffany's pov

beating croc bandits, wolves gangs, and crazy pigs every week isnt as bad as it sounds. but bigger things can be a challage. and when I say bigger, I mean huge! giant pandas have nothing on these guys.

"and I'm saying your nuts!" Mikey yelled to Raph.

"I'm nuts? your the one who chasin' anythin' in a skirt since we got here." Raph retorted.

I began luaghing. "what a shock that was when he found out males wear robes here. made him think twice!" I luaghed harder.

"hey, Mike, remeba that ox incidant?"

"hey!" Mikey whined. "he had a very fiminian body! how was I supossed to know it was a guy?"

they continued there arguing as I left the palace. we had spent a month here so far after Bishop found us in Michigan. Shifu told us about his home and we moved in to the Jade Palace. I traded my black skinney jeans for a black suit that batman would wear. the sleeves went the middle of my wrist and elbow but its covered by black gloves that go to my elbows. it has built in shoes at the feet. it was low cut and had a cape to it. it also had a pocket for my scissors. with the five and dragon warrior dead, it is up to us to protect the village and China. but in our free time, we still act like children. well, they do. I hang out with my boyfriend Splinter. sometimes its hard to believe he fell for a young gothic human with issues but he did. 18 and dating a old rat. my life is messed up. but it was going to get stranger.

I decided to take a walk in the cool afternoon in the bamboo woods. it was late in the afternoon but the sun was still up. "NO! LET ME GO!" I heard someone say. I sighed to myself. do I ever get a break? I ran to the sound to fighting before I seen a pack of wolves fighting something in a black cape with a few peace signs on it. it was tall but still in trouble. there was 5 wolves in all. I ran into the fight and body slammed one down. I got up and kicked another one. the caped one pushed me out of the way of an attack from a wolf. we grabbed eachothers wrists and I spun her for her to ick a wolf. she did the same with me. we let go. I was fighting some wolves before I heard a scream of pain from my fighting partner. I looked over to see them on the ground. I got angry. I snapped a bamboo stick from the ground and swung it around. it knocked them all over and made one throw up when I pushed it to his stomach with force. they began to run away. after they left, I went to the fallen one.

"you okay?"

"no...my leg. it hurts."

"its alright, let me look at it." I moved the cape a bit to see it's leg. by the sound if it's voice, it was a girl. her leg was bright green. it looked like Leo's skin. she had a gash beneath a blue leg band that had a peace sign on it and two black ribbons on it. it was deep and bleeding too much for my taste. "its going to be fine but calm down." I tore a strip from my cape and tied it around the cut. "can you walk?"

"I will try." she stood up but fell down. "oww..."

"alright then." I picked her up like a bride. "I'm taking you to the palace to treat your leg. I dont have the proper equiptment with me at the moment." I began to ran. she put her arms around my neck. they were green too.

we made it to the palace's medical care center. it was the build Shifu turned into a hospital for us when Tigress got sick with river fever. it was moments before Splinter ran in. "Tiffany, what is happening?"

"doctor stuff." I told him. "we'll ralk about it later. right now, I need to stop the bleeding."

"is there anything I can do?"

"orange juice and cookies for her would be nice. it'll bring her blood levels up."

"I will get those then." he left the room.

"you are a doctor?" she asked.

"not quite." I began getting the bandages out. "I study medicain as a hobby so I became the doctor of our palace. I dont have a doctorian though."

"then, what are you?"

"I'm a student here but also the mate of the rat you just seen. I'm plenty of other things but we dont need to talk about it right now."

"but it destracts me from the pain."

"pain?" I took out pills. "take one." she did as I said. "well, I'm also a toy maker, artist, welder... just the norm. what are you?"

"I am a- was a apperintace to Chung I for the shinobi temple in Shanghai. I came here for a new home since no where would let a turtle girl rent a home. after I left my freinds in New York, I studied more of my shinobi haritage. I left to return to New York but wolves attacked me."

"what attack?" Splinter asked as he came in with the tray of food I asked for.

"wolves," she picked up the glass of juice. "they attacked me for money that I did not have. the one you call Tiffany helped me. it is good to see you again, Splinter."

"wait... you know eachother?" I asked.

"yes. he is my master. he took me in after Chung I parished to the dragons. together with the other turtles, we defeated the dragon lord."

"okay then... who is she?"

"Mei Pieh Chi. but they call me Venus De Milo after the statue in the park. why are you in China?"

Splinter's smiled faded. "my home was attacked by Bishop. April, Casey, and Leatherhead parished. I was forced to run when Tiffany found me. we found our friend Shifu later on. she retreived my sons after they returned from the tribunal. Bishop found us once more so we were forced to move here."

"but there are other masters here."

"not after the war."

"i forgotten about the deaths in the war. the Dragon Warrior and the Five are gone. their master Shifu was banished."

"until Tiffany helped him gain his citizenship back."

"someone want to fell me in on what is a shinobi?" I asked.

"a shinobi, My Dear, is another word for a ninja but they hold magical propertys. they orginated in Japan but there was a temple in China."

"that was my home. it is gone now." she told me.

"okay... confusion. what were you doing in the first place?" I asked her.

"trying to find New York again."

"but your travles are over. we stay here and so will you. welcome home, Venus." Splinter smiled.

"home?" I asked. a smile appeared wide on my face. "FINALLY!" I wrapped my arms around the distirbed turtle girl after her gash was treated. "now I'm not the only girl here. no more boys asking dumb questions and having no one to talk girl things with."

I let her go. "oh my- this is too much to take in at the moment."

"what? you dont want to stay?"

"I do. I just cant believe Casey...April...Leatherhead..."

"I understand." Splinter put his hand on her shoulder. She removed her hood. her face was very fiminian, her mask was light blue with a brade in the back, and her eyes were hazel.she really was a turtle.

all of us were now in the kitchen talking. the turtles were very happy to see Venus again. Shifu was happy to meet her. she was eating more cookies I made for her to bring her blood levels up. they were all luaghing and being happy while Zang came in. "an attack in the village!" he spat out as his breathing was heavy. "wolves!"

"come on." Leo stood up. "Venus stay here."

"no. I will come. I feel better." she protested.

"your still-"

"I feel fine."

"ummm we need to go now." I told them. "just come on!"

we left our masters in the kitchen to stop the attack in the village. we found the same wolves flipping carts and knocking people over. all of prepaired to fight. "hey, Mikey, I have a joke for you. Knock knock."

"whos there?" he asked.

the wolves looked to us. "fur balls." I answered.

"furballs who?"

"I dont know their names. ask them." I pionted to the wolves.

"get her!" one of them yelled. they began to run after Venus. Leo knocked one of them to ground. Raph slammed one to the wall. Donnie used his staff to smack one into another. they fell back and Mikey bumped their heads together. I tore one away from Venus. I slammed him to the ground and got in his face.

"what is it you want from her? this is the second time you tried to hurt her. why?" I snarled.

"she has the amulant of chi-con-dai! it belongs to me!"

"Venus, what are they talking about."

"I do not know. perhaps they mean my necklace." she said. she gestered to the necklace around her neck. it was gold but had a orange gem on it. "I found it at my temple. it is meant to help control your chi."

"how would it belong to you?" I asked the wolf. "she found it at her temple."

one tackled me to the ground. "we want it." it growled. "we will get it even if it means desposing her."

Leo pulled him off of me and I got up. Leo threw him into the other four running at us. "why want it?" he asked.

"you'll see very soon." it said getting up.

"no, we wont." I took a katana from Leo's holister and held the tip to the wolf's neck. "see here, I claim full responisbility over that girl. do you understand? she is under my protection. you will have to defeat me to get to her. do you hear me? I will pretect her from you." I took the blade away from his neck. "besides, you are going to jail."

Raph took rope and tied them all together. "yep, that means no bling for furballs." he smiled.

"for now." the wolf smiled. "for now..."

some of the guards of the prision took him and his friends away. we walked back to the palace and called for our masters. they walked into the hall of warriors. "Venus has some chi-con-death necklace and the wolves want it." I told them.

"chi-con-dai." Leo corrected me.

"same thing. why would they want it? Shifu, you know them better. why?"

Shifu rubbed his beard. "the necklace holds the power to control your chi. they could use their chi for destruction."

"on what?"

"anything they wish to destroy. homes, people, land... anything. we must secure the necklace. Venus, please. if you hand it to us, we will keep it safe."

"but... this relic is a shinobi treasure." she agrued.

"it should stay with a shinobi." I agreed with her. "Shifu, I claimed full responsibility and protection over her. I will follow through."

"you did what?" he asked.

"how sweet." Splinter smiled.

"even if I have to tare them apart with my claws, I will keep her safe from them." I looked at my long nails that I painted black to look like claws. "after all, I did promise."

"they're in jail anyway." Mikey told Shifu. "which means, its pizza time."

"or noodles. we could go to Ping's." Leo offered.

"no way! I am so sick of noodles. I'm going in the kitchen to make pizza. its bad enough I cant play video games yet. I think I deserve some pizza."

"its only till I set up the solar power disks on the roof. then we can get internet and power here." Donnie said. "but...I could go for a slice. anyone else in?"

everyone agreed and went to the kitchen to make pizza. Venus stopped me though. we stood in silance before she spoke. "I... do not understand. why would you say such things?"

"what things?"

"you swore protection over me. why?"

"well, your my freind. I mean, since your the turtles' friend, that makes you mine. and I protect my friends."

"friends? I like that." she smiled.

"so do I." we began to walk to the others when Zang flew in again. "let me guess. trouble?" I groaned.

"well, yes." he said. he landed infront of us. "the wolves escaped. their on their way."

I drew out my claws. "what?!? Venus, tell the guys whats going on. I'm going after them to see if I can stop them."

"you can not go alone." she argued. "you will get hurt."

"and they cant find you or they'll get you're necklace."

"please, listen to reason. they out number you."

"only by four more then me. stay here or leave the necklace behind. but, I am going."

"no!"

before she could finish, I ran off.

Shifu's pov

I was enjoying the smell of their American food as it cooked. the turtles were enjoying themselves while the girls must have been talking. Splinter and I sat at the table playing Monjon. sadly, I had to listen Michelangelo's singing. we has trying to sound italian but was failing. "cheese with macoronii, side of pepperonii! stay away from that lava, dig in to pamajona!!!"

"hark, what is that I hear? a tone deaf turtle?" Donatello asked.

"kiss my shell."

"bare it." Rapheal grinned.

"beware for he just might." I mummbled.

all of a sudden, Venus ran into the kitchen. "please, help, Tiffany is gone!"

"what?!?" Splinter and I said simutansily.

"a goose flew in and told her the wolves escaped. she said she will go ahead in atempts to stop them before they reached the village. I tried to get her to stay and wait but she left anyways."

"dont worry about it, Venus." Leo told her. "she does that. think of it this way, she cares about you."

"she'll be killed."

"not if we get there in time. turtles, head out!"

Tiffany's pov

I ran until I was faced with the wolves in the morning. the sky was gray and we were surrounded by grass and fog. a lake was near by. I hated what I did to Venus but I couldnt let them get to her. with that necklace, they could hurt everybody. "you..." one of them snarled.

"yeah. so, you managed to get away from those idiots they hired as guards. what do want? an applause?" I clapped my hands.

"where are the others?"

"there is none. I came alone. I told you, she was under my protection. why would they come?"

"you came alone?" he luaghed. "what a foolish thing to do. why do that?"

"I wont let you hurt anyone. even my friends. I came alone to protect them."

"you just want to be a hero, dont you?" one the others luaghed. "you wont be one here. victem? yes. hero? not one bit."

"I was last time I fought you."

"what are you talking about?" another asked.

"you're leader there, I fought him."

"we...fought?" he asked.

"you dont remember me? come on! I'm the only human here!" I took my hood down from my cape. "look at me!"

"thats right... I went to murder the emporer. she, a rat, and Shifu stopped me..."

"enough talking!" I was losing my pastionce. "just come on and fight!"

"get her!" the wolves began to run to me.

"you will not hurt the emporer nor anyone again!" I slammed one to the ground and kept him there with my foot. I tossed another on into the three. one of the three jumped to avoid him and punced me. I kicked him off. I got up. one grabbed me from behind. as another went to kick me, I turned so he kicked his friend off of me. I bumped two heads together before I felt a sharp pain in the back of my leg. one of them cut me right behind the knee. "nice..."

"ha! your injured and still fighting?"

"and running. after all, cant let you get the necklace. now can I?"

"excuse me?"

"didnt you see it around my neck?" I showed him the gold chain on my neck. "come and get it." I took off.

"after her!!!"

Leonardo's pov

I had no idea what had gotten into Tiffany. I was used to her taking off but after the enemy? that wasnt her. what could have possessed her to do it? we ran to the prision in hopes to find them coming our way. yet, we ne er seen them. instead, we were faces with a battle scene. the place was trashed. "great, no wolves and no Tiffany!" Mikey whined. "why did she even take off?"

"I dont know. but now, instead of looking for the wolves, we have ta look for her too!" Raph yelled.

"you know, sometimes, I wonder how she lives. I mean it. she keeps running off."

"and gets hurt."

"and passes it off like its okay."

"guys..." Donnie said meekly.

"I think shes going to get herself killed." Raph said with crossed arms.

"she might have already."

"what are you talking about Donnie?" I asked.

he pointed to a black puddle. "I think this is her's."

"what is it?"

"blood. shes hurt."

"called it!" Raph shouted with his hand in the air.

I looked around the puddle. it had a small trail that went west. along with it, foot prints. wolve paws and Tiffany's shoes on her suit. I walked to them. "by the looks of these," Donnie felt the prints. "they were running. she was trying to run away from them and they went after her."

"she ran?!? somethin' is wrong with her. she neva runs."

"we eaither win or we have to pull her out of the fight. something went wrong and forced her to run. they're chasing her. follow the tracks and come on!" I told them. "shes going to be killed if shes hurt!"

Shifu's pov

Venus sat in the kitchen with Splinter and I as we played monjong. I could see she was getting restless but she stayed. "Venus, if you wish, you could find out where they are and how the battle is going." Splinter told her. "I see the battle is treating you unkind as well."

"they are fighting my battle." she looked down. "I should be the one fighting the wolves. not my friends." she began to play with her necklace. "all for a silly necklace..."

I chuckled. "that is no silly necklace. in the wrong hands, it can be deadly."

"yes... but it is still wrong for them to fight for me and not with me."

Tiffany's pov

I continued to run to the prision. my leg was trobbing and my head was getting lighter but I still ran. I was hoping to make it to the prision where the guards would lock them away. but with me slowing down, it may have not been an option. I could see the prision but it was still too far for any gaurd to notice us. soon, I fell from exsution. I could hear the wolves catch up to me quickly. I need a new plan. this bum leg ruined mine. the jail is up ahead but I cant keep going. its too far for them to hear me. why did I have to be stupid and go ahead?

my thoughts were inturupted by luaghter. "well she went far for a bum leg, huh boss?" a wolf asked.

"quite." he said. he stepped infront of me and looked down. "but she wont be going any further. the necklace. now."

"kiss my shell." I spat. I lifted myself up to my feet. "your forgetting who wears it."

"a woman who is about to die."

"not really." we heard ruffling in the near by trees. "just a girl with good insurance." I smiled.

"yeah, its net-turtle." I heard Mikey's voice say.

"and her claim is rewarded with 5 butt kickings to 5 wolves." Raph said. the turtles jumped out of the trees. "but it will cost her." he looked at me. by that look, I knew I was in trouble.

Leo walked between me and the wolves. "you're fight is with me now."

"not aslong as she has that neckalce." the wolf snarled.

"the chi thingy necklace? she has it?" Mikey asked.

I nodded my head but mouthed the word no. the wolf snarled and threw Leo aside. he pushed me into a tree and ripped the chain off my neck. "what?!?" he grew angry for I lied. the chain around my neck was just a chain.

"you fell for it." I started luaghing. "this chain was to lure you to follow me." I pointed to the prision. "look fimilure? my plan was foiled by my leg but thats why you awlays have a plan B."

"where is it?!?"

"not here."

"the girl..."

"is far away from here. you messed up...again!" he smacked my face. when he did, his claws cut my face. "sore loser."

"Tiff, what is this about 'again?'" Raph asked.

"he tried to over throw the emporer when I came here to get Shifu's rights back. we stopped him. he kind of has it out for me right now. in fact, hes the reason I went ahead."

"nice." he sarcasiclly said. he looked to the wolves. "ya five made one mistake though. ya messed with our girls. and we dont take kindly ta that."

"now, guys!" Leo ordered.

the two sides attacked at lightnning speed. I was left to only witness a great fall.

Shifu's pov

in my heart, I knew something was wrong. I could no longer focus on the game Splinter and I played. niether could he. we glanced at eachother knowing what the other was thinking. "what is wrong masters?" Venus asked.

"the others... they are... losing..." I answered.

"how?"

"they are fighting without honor. they have an army."

"what?!?"

"and they are after you."

"then they shall have me." she stood up and began walking to the door.

I stopped her. "this is a army!"

"I do not care." before I could say anything else, she left.

Tiffany's pov

we were battered, beaten, bleeding, and defeated. they had brought 100 wolves with them. with us out numbered, we fought to the best of our abilities. "China is ours!!!" the head wolve proclaimed with a axe above my head. I closed my eyes tight and waited for the end. but, there was no end. I opened one eye to see him stuggling against a blue orb to bring the axe down.

"China will never be yours!" a fimilure voice called. I looked to see my favorite female turtle Venus. her hands moved in rythimic motions as the necklace glew a bright orange. it was only getting brighter. soon, so was she.

"umm...guys? I think we should take cover." I told the turtles. they gave quick agreements and ducked for cover.

"you will also leave my friends alone. I will not allow such treatments to them. ecspicilly by you!" I hid my face from my brightness. the ground shook as a big gust of wind tossed us into a pile. I was on top of Donnie, Leo, Raph, then Mikey. looking about, I seen the wolves spread out and passed out. we looked to her in shook for she was the only one standing. "never make a shinobi angry." she smiled.

"cuase when you mess with the green," Leo started.

"they think they may throw up. really, get off me!" Mikey whined from the bottom of the pile.

we all got up. "why didnt you do that in the first place?" I asked her.

"it was needed now." she answered.

"we seen the explosion. are all alright?" a rinho guard ran to us. he looked around. "woah, what happened here?"

"a fight you missed." I hissed. "how couold you let them get away?"

"it was a mistake!" his face filled with fear.

"were they even gaurded?"

"we thought, since they were chained, we could look away for a moment..."

"I bet thats how Tai Lung got out. right?"I snapped. he was silent. "call the others to gather them up. trision is there crime."

"y-yes, Mam."

I could tell he was angry but he allowed them to escape. I couldnt care less.

back at the palace hours later, we were bandaged up and Venus was handing her necklace to Shifu. he glanced at her "are you sure?" he asked.

she nodded. "this artifact must be protected. with me, it is in dnager."

"look at the bright side," I told her. "its here for you anytime because you staying. right?"

"after all the trouble I have cuased you, you wish for me to stay?"

"of course. your like, my sister! I wouldnt want you to go if you caused a flood." I joked.

"a sister? I never had a sister before."

"I have. there not the best thing in the world but they can be if there the kind that you want. besides, now you do."

she smiled. "yes, I wish to stay."

she wrapped her arms around me. I went tense because hugs were still new to me but I hugged her back. "then, welcome home, Sis...welcome home..."

I traded my black skinney jeans for a black suit that batman would wear. the sleeves went the middle of my wrist and elbow but its covered by black gloves that go to my elbows. it has built in shoes at the feet. it was low cut and had a cape to it. it also had a pocket for my scissors. with the five and dragon warrior dead, it is up to us to protect the village and China. but in our free time, we still act like children. well, they do.

"I will try." she stood up but fell down. "oww..."

"alright then." I picked her up like a bride. "I'm taking you to the palace to treat your leg. I dont have the proper equiptment with me at the moment." I began to ran. she put her arms around my neck. they were green too.

we made it to the palace's medical care center. it was the build Shifu turned into a hospital for us when Tigress got sick with river fever. it was moments before Splinter ran in. "Tiffany, what is happening?"

"doctor stuff." I told him. "we'll ralk about it later. right now, I need to stop the bleeding."

"is there anything I can do?"

"orange juice and cookies for her would be nice. it'll bring her blood levels up."

"I will get those then." he left the room.

"you are a doctor?" she asked.

"not quite." I began getting the bandages out. "I study medicain as a hobby so I became the doctor of our palace. I dont have a doctorian though."

"then, what are you?"

"I'm a student here but also the mate of the rat you just seen. I'm plenty of other things but we dont need to talk about it right now."

"but it destracts me from the pain."

"pain?" I took out pills. "take one." she did as I said. "well, I'm also a toy maker, artist, welder... just the norm. what are you?"

"I am a- was a apperintace to Chung I for the shinobi temple in Shanghai. I came here for a new home since no where would let a turtle girl rent a home. after I left my freinds in New York, I studied more of my shinobi haritage. I left to return to New York but wolves attacked me."

"what attack?" Splinter asked as he came in with the tray of food I asked for.

"wolves," she picked up the glass of juice. "they attacked me for money that I did not have. the one you call Tiffany helped me. it is good to see you again, Splinter."

"wait... you know eachother?" I asked.

"yes. he is my master. he took me in after Chung I parished to the dragons. together with the other turtles, we defeated the dragon lord."

"okay then... who is she?"

"Mei Pieh Chi. but they call me Venus De Milo after the statue in the park. why are you in China?"

Splinter's smiled faded. "my home was attacked by Bishop. April, Casey, and Leatherhead parished. I was forced to run when Tiffany found me. we found our friend Shifu later on. she retreived my sons after they returned from the tribunal. Bishop found us once more so we were forced to move here."

"but there are other masters here."

"not after the war."

"i forgotten about the deaths in the war. the Dragon Warrior and the Five are gone. their master Shifu was banished."

"until Tiffany helped him gain his citizenship back."

"someone want to fell me in on what is a shinobi?" I asked.

"a shinobi, My Dear, is another word for a ninja but they hold magical propertys. they orginated in Japan but there was a temple in China."

"that was my home. it is gone now." she told me.

"okay... confusion. what were you doing in the first place?" I asked her.

"trying to find New York again."

"but your travles are over. we stay here and so will you. welcome home, Venus." Splinter smiled.

"home?" I asked. a smile appeared wide on my face. "FINALLY!" I wrapped my arms around the distirbed turtle girl after her gash was treated. "now I'm not the only girl here. no more boys asking dumb questions and having no one to talk girl things with."

I let her go. "oh my- this is too much to take in at the moment."

"what? you dont want to stay?"

"I do. I just cant believe Casey...April...Leatherhead..."

"I understand." Splinter put his hand on her shoulder. She removed her hood. her face was very fiminian, her mask was light blue with a brade in the back, and her eyes were hazel.she really was a turtle.

all of us were now in the kitchen talking. the turtles were very happy to see Venus again. Shifu was happy to meet her. she was eating more cookies I made for her to bring her blood levels up. they were all luaghing and being happy while Zang came in. "an attack in the village!" he spat out as his breathing was heavy. "wolves!"

"come on." Leo stood up. "Venus stay here."

"no. I will come. I feel better." she protested.

"your still-"

"I feel fine."

"ummm we need to go now." I told them. "just come on!"

we left our masters in the kitchen to stop the attack in the village. we found the same wolves flipping carts and knocking people over. all of prepaired to fight. "hey, Mikey, I have a joke for you. Knock knock."

"whos there?" he asked.

the wolves looked to us. "fur balls." I answered.

"furballs who?"

"I dont know their names. ask them." I pionted to the wolves.

"get her!" one of them yelled. they began to run after Venus. Leo knocked one of them to ground. Raph slammed one to the wall. Donnie used his staff to smack one into another. they fell back and Mikey bumped their heads together. I tore one away from Venus. I slammed him to the ground and got in his face.

"what is it you want from her? this is the second time you tried to hurt her. why?" I snarled.

"she has the amulant of chi-con-dai! it belongs to me!"

"Venus, what are they talking about."

"I do not know. perhaps they mean my necklace." she said. she gestered to the necklace around her neck. it was gold but had a orange gem on it. "I found it at my temple. it is meant to help control your chi."

"how would it belong to you?" I asked the wolf. "she found it at her temple."

one tackled me to the ground. "we want it." it growled. "we will get it even if it means desposing her."

Leo pulled him off of me and I got up. Leo threw him into the other four running at us. "why want it?" he asked.

"you'll see very soon." it said getting up.

"no, we wont." I took a katana from Leo's holister and held the tip to the wolf's neck. "see here, I claim full responisbility over that girl. do you understand? she is under my protection. you will have to defeat me to get to her. do you hear me? I will pretect her from you." I took the blade away from his neck. "besides, you are going to jail."

Raph took rope and tied them all together. "yep, that means no bling for furballs." he smiled.

"for now." the wolf smiled. "for now..."

some of the guards of the prision took him and his friends away. we walked back to the palace and called for our masters. they walked into the hall of warriors. "Venus has some chi-con-death necklace and the wolves want it." I told them.

"chi-con-dai." Leo corrected me.

"same thing. why would they want it? Shifu, you know them better. why?"

Shifu rubbed his beard. "the necklace holds the power to control your chi. they could use their chi for destruction."

"on what?"

"anything they wish to destroy. homes, people, land... anything. we must secure the necklace. Venus, please. if you hand it to us, we will keep it safe."

"but... this relic is a shinobi treasure." she agrued.

"it should stay with a shinobi." I agreed with her. "Shifu, I claimed full responsibility and protection over her. I will follow through."

"you did what?" he asked.

"how sweet." Splinter smiled.

"even if I have to tare them apart with my claws, I will keep her safe from them." I looked at my long nails that I painted black to look like claws. "after all, I did promise."

"they're in jail anyway." Mikey told Shifu. "which means, its pizza time."

"or noodles. we could go to Ping's." Leo offered.

"no way! I am so sick of noodles. I'm going in the kitchen to make pizza. its bad enough I cant play video games yet. I think I deserve some pizza."

"its only till I set up the solar power disks on the roof. then we can get internet and power here." Donnie said. "but...I could go for a slice. anyone else in?"

everyone agreed and went to the kitchen to make pizza. Venus stopped me though. we stood in silance before she spoke. "I... do not understand. why would you say such things?"

"what things?"

"you swore protection over me. why?"

"well, your my freind. I mean, since your the turtles' friend, that makes you mine. and I protect my friends."

"friends? I like that." she smiled.

"so do I." we began to walk to the others when Zang flew in again. "let me guess. trouble?" I groaned.

"well, yes." he said. he landed infront of us. "the wolves escaped. their on their way."

I drew out my claws. "what?!? Venus, tell the guys whats going on. I'm going after them to see if I can stop them."

"you can not go alone." she argued. "you will get hurt."

"and they cant find you or they'll get you're necklace."

"please, listen to reason. they out number you."

"only by four more then me. stay here or leave the necklace behind. but, I am going."

"no!"

before she could finish, I ran off.

Shifu's pov

I was enjoying the smell of their American food as it cooked. the turtles were enjoying themselves while the girls must have been talking. Splinter and I sat at the table playing Monjon. sadly, I had to listen Michelangelo's singing. we has trying to sound italian but was failing. "cheese with macoronii, side of pepperonii! stay away from that lava, dig in to pamajona!!!"

"hark, what is that I hear? a tone deaf turtle?" Donatello asked.

"kiss my shell."

"bare it." Rapheal grinned.

"beware for he just might." I mummbled.

all of a sudden, Venus ran into the kitchen. "please, help, Tiffany is gone!"

"what?!?" Splinter and I said simutansily.

"a goose flew in and told her the wolves escaped. she said she will go ahead in atempts to stop them before they reached the village. I tried to get her to stay and wait but she left anyways."

"dont worry about it, Venus." Leo told her. "she does that. think of it this way, she cares about you."

"she'll be killed."

"not if we get there in time. turtles, head out!"

Tiffany's pov

I ran until I was faced with the wolves in the morning. the sky was gray and we were surrounded by grass and fog. a lake was near by. I hated what I did to Venus but I couldnt let them get to her. with that necklace, they could hurt everybody. "you..." one of them snarled.

"yeah. so, you managed to get away from those idiots they hired as guards. what do want? an applause?" I clapped my hands.

"where are the others?"

"there is none. I came alone. I told you, she was under my protection. why would they come?"

"you came alone?" he luaghed. "what a foolish thing to do. why do that?"

"I wont let you hurt anyone. even my friends. I came alone to protect them."

"you just want to be a hero, dont you?" one the others luaghed. "you wont be one here. victem? yes. hero? not one bit."

"I was last time I fought you."

"what are you talking about?" another asked.

"you're leader there, I fought him."

"we...fought?" he asked.

"you dont remember me? come on! I'm the only human here!" I took my hood down from my cape. "look at me!"

"thats right... I went to murder the emporer. she, a rat, and Shifu stopped me..."

"enough talking!" I was losing my pastionce. "just come on and fight!"

"get her!" the wolves began to run to me.

"you will not hurt the emporer nor anyone again!" I slammed one to the ground and kept him there with my foot. I tossed another on into the three. one of the three jumped to avoid him and punced me. I kicked him off. I got up. one grabbed me from behind. as another went to kick me, I turned so he kicked his friend off of me. I bumped two heads together before I felt a sharp pain in the back of my leg. one of them cut me right behind the knee. "nice..."

"ha! your injured and still fighting?"

"and running. after all, cant let you get the necklace. now can I?"

"excuse me?"

"didnt you see it around my neck?" I showed him the gold chain on my neck. "come and get it." I took off.

"after her!!!"

Leonardo's pov

I had no idea what had gotten into Tiffany. I was used to her taking off but after the enemy? that wasnt her. what could have possessed her to do it? we ran to the prision in hopes to find them coming our way. yet, we ne er seen them. instead, we were faces with a battle scene. the place was trashed. "great, no wolves and no Tiffany!" Mikey whined. "why did she even take off?"

"I dont know. but now, instead of looking for the wolves, we have ta look for her too!" Raph yelled.

"you know, sometimes, I wonder how she lives. I mean it. she keeps running off."

"and gets hurt."

"and passes it off like its okay."

"guys..." Donnie said meekly.

"I think shes going to get herself killed." Raph said with crossed arms.

"she might have already."

"what are you talking about Donnie?" I asked.

he pointed to a black puddle. "I think this is her's."

"what is it?"

"blood. shes hurt."

"called it!" Raph shouted with his hand in the air.

I looked around the puddle. it had a small trail that went west. along with it, foot prints. wolve paws and Tiffany's shoes on her suit. I walked to them. "by the looks of these," Donnie felt the prints. "they were running. she was trying to run away from them and they went after her."

"she ran?!? somethin' is wrong with her. she neva runs."

"we eaither win or we have to pull her out of the fight. something went wrong and forced her to run. they're chasing her. follow the tracks and come on!" I told them. "shes going to be killed if shes hurt!"

Shifu's pov

Venus sat in the kitchen with Splinter and I as we played monjong. I could see she was getting restless but she stayed. "Venus, if you wish, you could find out where they are and how the battle is going." Splinter told her. "I see the battle is treating you unkind as well."

"they are fighting my battle." she looked down. "I should be the one fighting the wolves. not my friends." she began to play with her necklace. "all for a silly necklace..."

I chuckled. "that is no silly necklace. in the wrong hands, it can be deadly."

"yes... but it is still wrong for them to fight for me and not with me."

Tiffany's pov

I continued to run to the prision. my leg was trobbing and my head was getting lighter but I still ran. I was hoping to make it to the prision where the guards would lock them away. but with me slowing down, it may have not been an option. I could see the prision but it was still too far for any gaurd to notice us. soon, I fell from exsution. I could hear the wolves catch up to me quickly. I need a new plan. this bum leg ruined mine. the jail is up ahead but I cant keep going. its too far for them to hear me. why did I have to be stupid and go ahead?

my thoughts were inturupted by luaghter. "well she went far for a bum leg, huh boss?" a wolf asked.

"quite." he said. he stepped infront of me and looked down. "but she wont be going any further. the necklace. now."

"kiss my shell." I spat. I lifted myself up to my feet. "your forgetting who wears it."

"a woman who is about to die."

"not really." we heard ruffling in the near by trees. "just a girl with good insurance." I smiled.

"yeah, its net-turtle." I heard Mikey's voice say.

"and her claim is rewarded with 5 butt kickings to 5 wolves." Raph said. the turtles jumped out of the trees. "but it will cost her." he looked at me. by that look, I knew I was in trouble.

Leo walked between me and the wolves. "you're fight is with me now."

"not aslong as she has that neckalce." the wolf snarled.

"the chi thingy necklace? she has it?" Mikey asked.

I nodded my head but mouthed the word no. the wolf snarled and threw Leo aside. he pushed me into a tree and ripped the chain off my neck. "what?!?" he grew angry for I lied. the chain around my neck was just a chain.

"you fell for it." I started luaghing. "this chain was to lure you to follow me." I pointed to the prision. "look fimilure? my plan was foiled by my leg but thats why you awlays have a plan B."

"where is it?!?"

"not here."

"the girl..."

"is far away from here. you messed up...again!" he smacked my face. when he did, his claws cut my face. "sore loser."

"Tiff, what is this about 'again?'" Raph asked.

"he tried to over throw the emporer when I came here to get Shifu's rights back. we stopped him. he kind of has it out for me right now. in fact, hes the reason I went ahead."

"nice." he sarcasiclly said. he looked to the wolves. "ya five made one mistake though. ya messed with our girls. and we dont take kindly ta that."

"now, guys!" Leo ordered.

the two sides attacked at lightnning speed. I was left to only witness a great fall.

Shifu's pov

in my heart, I knew something was wrong. I could no longer focus on the game Splinter and I played. niether could he. we glanced at eachother knowing what the other was thinking. "what is wrong masters?" Venus asked.

"the others... they are... losing..." I answered.

"how?"

"they are fighting without honor. they have an army."

"what?!?"

"and they are after you."

"then they shall have me." she stood up and began walking to the door.

I stopped her. "this is a army!"

"I do not care." before I could say anything else, she left.

Tiffany's pov

we were battered, beaten, bleeding, and defeated. they had brought 100 wolves with them. with us out numbered, we fought to the best of our abilities. "China is ours!!!" the head wolve proclaimed with a axe above my head. I closed my eyes tight and waited for the end. but, there was no end. I opened one eye to see him stuggling against a blue orb to bring the axe down.

"China will never be yours!" a fimilure voice called. I looked to see my favorite female turtle Venus. her hands moved in rythimic motions as the necklace glew a bright orange. it was only getting brighter. soon, so was she.

"umm...guys? I think we should take cover." I told the turtles. they gave quick agreements and ducked for cover.

"you will also leave my friends alone. I will not allow such treatments to them. ecspicilly by you!" I hid my face from my brightness. the ground shook as a big gust of wind tossed us into a pile. I was on top of Donnie, Leo, Raph, then Mikey. looking about, I seen the wolves spread out and passed out. we looked to her in shook for she was the only one standing. "never make a shinobi angry." she smiled.

"cuase when you mess with the green," Leo started.

"they think they may throw up. really, get off me!" Mikey whined from the bottom of the pile.

we all got up. "why didnt you do that in the first place?" I asked her.

"it was needed now." she answered.

"we seen the explosion. are all alright?" a rinho guard ran to us. he looked around. "woah, what happened here?"

"a fight you missed." I hissed. "how couold you let them get away?"

"it was a mistake!" his face filled with fear.

"were they even gaurded?"

"we thought, since they were chained, we could look away for a moment..."

"I bet thats how Tai Lung got out. right?"I snapped. he was silent. "call the others to gather them up. trision is there crime."

"y-yes, Mam."

I could tell he was angry but he allowed them to escape. I couldnt care less.

back at the palace hours later, we were bandaged up and Venus was handing her necklace to Shifu. he glanced at her "are you sure?" he asked.

she nodded. "this artifact must be protected. with me, it is in dnager."

"look at the bright side," I told her. "its here for you anytime because you staying. right?"

"after all the trouble I have cuased you, you wish for me to stay?"

"of course. your like, my sister! I wouldnt want you to go if you caused a flood." I joked.

"a sister? I never had a sister before."

"I have. there not the best thing in the world but they can be if there the kind that you want. besides, now you do."

she smiled. "yes, I wish to stay."

she wrapped her arms around me. I went tense because hugs were still new to me but I hugged her back. "then, welcome home, Sis...welcome home..."
