Running. She had to keep running if she wanted to stay alive. Behind her, the sounds of fighting and yelling roared on as the battle raged. She had to keep going and get the sword before the Shredder could get his claws on it. She had lost the gauntlet along the way so she had no choice but to grab the sword with her bare hands. It was gonna hurt like hell but she was willing to do it if it meant saving the turtles.

Suddenly, a foot kicked out in front of her and she couldn't stop herself. Before she knew what was happening the ground was coming up to meet her face and all she could do was cross her arms over her face to brace for the fall. As the ruff cement scraped across her bare forearms she scrunched her face up in a grimace. Once she stopped she instantly jumped to her feet and kept running to the sword.

Nothing was going to stop her from getting to that damn sword before Shredder so she propelled herself forward with sheer spite as her fuel.

Then, there she was the sword of Tengu within her grasp but as she reached out to grab it a metallic claw got to it first. Now as she slowly looked up her face filled with terror as she looked upon the face of death in this city. The Shredder with the sword clutched in one hand as he glared down at her meek form. She tried to step away, her breath coming in shallow gasps, unable to speak.

However, at her slight movement backward the metal monster's free hand moved so fast she didn't even realize she was off the ground until she was face to face with the Shredder, her feet dangling uselessly about a foot off the ground. He had grabbed her by the front of her tank top causing it to ride up and over her stomach.

"SUMMER!" She heard Raph's voice call out amid the fighting behind her.

She desperately wanted to look back at him but knew that if she did it would doom the red-clad turtle by distracting him. So instead she tried to take in everything she could about the Shredder to try and get away

"Pathetic wench! You thought that you could steal the sword of Tengu from me, Shredder?!" The armored man spat his voice dripping with venom as he spoke before he started to laugh mockingly.

As she hung there in his grip she realized that she was at the perfect height to kick at the Shredder's knees. She waited as the man continued to laugh mockingly at Summer's seemingly futile efforts in stopping him.

Suddenly, she saw her opportunity to act as the metal monster raised his arm, the sword beginning to hum with crackling electrical energy. Before the sword could be used against her she swung her leg back and kicked as hard as she could into the Shredder's knees with a sickening crack. At the pain in his knees, Shredder let out a cry of pain as he dropped her and the sword at the same.

Timed seemed too slow as she reached out to catch the pulsing sword while Shredder stumbled backward. She extended her hand palm up as the hilt of the sword fell into the palm of her hand. As she got a grip on the sword a blinding pain filled her body and seemed to light her nerves on fire. Summer cried out as a white-hot burning and searing pain filled her body. She almost dropped the sword but just as it began to let go she tightened her grip.

Slowly she turned to face the now-frozen ninjas. She couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe because of how blurred her vision had become.

"Leo!" She cried out hoarsely before pulling back her arm and hurling the sword. She prayed that someone on her side would catch it. She managed to take a step or two forward before she tumbled forward into a pair of arms.

"Raph?" Summer murmured her voice weak and hoarse from her prior screaming, her head tilting upward toward the red and green blur above her.

"Ya, it's me doll. What were you thinking?" Raph said feeling himself get choked up as he looked down at the brown-haired girl in his arms. He pushed a bit of her hair out of her face as he felt tears begin to well up as the girl seemed to be falling asleep.

"Stay with me, baby. You have to stay awake for me okay?"

Suddenly, her ears began to ring as she looked up at the turtle above her. She tried to focus on him but all she could see was his lips moving as he kept looking down at her and then over to scream for someone else before moving back to her. She didn't even notice when another person came running over to the duo. Just as the young girl reached up to touch her boyfriend's face the world suddenly turned black and she was swallowed by the blackness of unconsciousness.
