## Script

Shredder (hologram): Kyle Oroku.

Kyle: Hello, father. How is business in Japan?

Shredder: Good. Just good. Now listen, I have learned that Karai is going after the Turtles.

Kyle: I tried to stop her but obviously she won't listen to me. Quite a rebellious girl is she?

Malamar: Well nonetheless, I need you to tell everyone not to do any kind of dealings with the Kraang until our return.

Kyle: Yes, Xiao. I understand completely. No dealings with the Kraang until your return. I will make sure everyone is informed.

Shredder: Good to hear. (disappears)

Kyle: Time to do some informing. (leaves)

### Karai

Karai: So how is the new project going?

Kraang: It's going by the term known as smoothly.

Seviper: Perfect. When it's database is fully-charged up, make sure you put the target on April O'Neil and bring it back to Foot HQ.

Kraang 2: Affirmative.

### Outside

#### April

April: (smiles at the necklace)

Kaii: You really love the necklace Donnie got you right?

April: Well of course. I didn't expect him to get me something but it's really beautiful.

Kaii: That it is! Nobody won't be able to say "no" to its beauty and shininess. Even I can't disagree as to how beautiful it is.

Rockruff: (sniffs) Hey April. I think someone's following us.

April: Huh? Alright, who are you? You better come out!

She tosses her tessen behind a trash can which reveals her stalker's identity - Donnie.

Trio: Donnie?!

Donnie: Oh hey. Look at me. I'm at the same place you are. (giggles shakily)

April: Uh huh. Why did you follow me?

Espeon: For your own safety of course. With the Kraang returning and all, it won't be wise for you to walk alone at night. Those aliens would've kidnapped you or something. And also, this was all Donnie's idea.

Donnie: Now hold on! I have a perfectly good reason for this plan! I don't want anything bad happened to you. And yes, I know you can take care of yourself but still, there are some things you would need someone for help. Like me. Just for example. Okay?

April: I think I'm understanding. Don, you don't need to stalk me for my safety. I can handle it thanks to my Kitsune side but I'm glad you're always looking out for me. Especially my dad being a mutant bat and all.

Donnie: Don't worry. I'm creating Retro-Mutagen. Though the progress is getting slowed I'm trying my best to make it as fast as possible.

April: Take your time. I'm not rushing you or anything. I just... want everything to be normal. You know. Without the Kraang or the Foot or anything like that.

Donnie: I understand. (ears twitched and starts growling)

April: What's wrong?

Donnie: Someone's here.

Gabb: Really?! Who?!

Donnie: (sees something) April, watch out! (pushes her to the ground with him on top of her) Was that some kind of Shadow Ball?

April: Ow... Don?

Donnie: Sorry about that. It seems someone else is here.

As they sit up, they saw a phantom ghost of some kind. It shivers down their spines as they could feel an aura they never felt.

Donnie: (goes on all fours while growling) Who the shell are you?! Reveal yourself! (continues growling aggressively)

The ghost slowly approaches them and spots April's necklace that is still in April's hand.

Donnie: (roars) Stay away from her! (slashes but with no effect) Huh? It just went through it.

April: Well it is a ghost after all. What do you expect?

Donnie: April, I don't think this is no ordinary ghost.

With a snap of its finger the Kitsune-shaped gem and the orb starts glowing which causes a huge flash before the ghost disappears.

Espeon: Are you okay?!

April/Donnie: Uh.... I think so...

Donnie/April: Me too... That was such a large flash... Huh? Hey, why do I feel lighter?

April/Donnie: And why do I feel heavy all of a sudden?

[. . .]

[SCREAMING ECHOING THROUGH THE SKY]

Sistine Fibel: (ears twitching) Um, did you hear something?

Ibuki: Ibuki sure did! It sounded someone was screaming in horror! I bet they're watching some super scary horror film!

Sistine: I don't think that was from a horror film. It must be something else they're screaming about. Any ideas?

Ibuki: Hm... Hm... Ibuki's thinking... Hm...

Nonon: We don't have time to think! We need to keep going! Let's go already!

Ibuki: Hold on, Nonon-chan!

Sistine: Huh... (follows Ibuki and Nonon)

### Donnie and April

April/Donnie **(April in Donnie's body)**: That thing switched our bodies! I'm in yours!

Donnie/April **(Donnie in April's body)**: I know I know. Let's just calm down and think about this. I wonder why that phantom wants us to switch our bodies.

April/Donnie: I don't care about the reason! I can't get back to Tesse's house like this! She would freak out and I'll be in the streets!

Donnie/April: And I know I can't return to the Lair to find out about this phenomenon. The others would be suspicious of me going home with your body.

April/Donnie: Donatello, I hope you have a solution for this or I'll never forgive you!

Donnie/April: Don't worry. I'll think of something. For now, I'll head back to Tesse's place and you can head back to the Lair and pretend to be me as long as possible until I figure everything out.

April/Donnie: I have to pretend to be you?! I have some tutoring lessons with Casey tonight! I can't let him see me like this! Donnie, you have to take my place! You're better in Trigonometry then me and we're both in the same class!

Donnie/April: Do I have to? He hit you with a hockey puck. A hockey puck!

April/Donnie: Yes and I already apologize. Now you better do it for me or no treats for you for a month!

Donnie/April: You wouldn't dare.

April/Donnie: Watch me.

Donnie/April: Fine. I'll be "nice" to Casey Jones just for your sake. I promise.

April/Donnie: Thank you. Now please try to act normal around Tesse so she won't be suspicious. Oh and also, we should switch our Pokemon to make it more authentic.

Donnie/April: I agree.

### Lair

April/Donnie: (thinking) Remember, April. Pretend to be Donnie. Pretend to be Donnie. (talking with an attempted Donnie's voice) Hey guys. What are you doing?

Mikey: Watching SRMFF. (bites Raph's finger) Whoops.

Raph: Mikey~!

Jonah: Don't even think about it.

April/Donnie: Oh I see.

She notices that, in the episode, the princess character is ticked off, due to the fact that the others forgot her birthday, and she doesn't want to see them again.

April/Donnie: (thinking) What a total bitch. Just because they forgot her birthday. People tend to forget all the time. Even I do it. Maybe sometimes but not a lot. (talking) Well anyway, I'll be heading to Donnie's, I mean, *my* lab. Yeah, my rlab. (chuckles nervously)

Mao Yin: Whatever you say.

April/Donnie: (enters Donnie's lab) Whew... That was a close one.

Espeon: But you need to practice on your Donnie voice.

April/Donnie: Ya think? That was the best impression I could think of. Look, I hope Donnie finds a way to get us back to our own bodies...

Espeon: He will. Don't worry so much.

April/Donnie: Right.

### Donnie/April

Donnie/April: (opens drawer) What are these things?

Rockruff: Those are bras, dude.

Donnie gets undressed to her underwear.

Donnie/April: So this is how a girl looks like under the outfit. (unstraps bra) But why do girls have to wear these? It's so itchy and unnatural. I hope she doesn't happened to have any wrapping bandage. It's a lot more comfortable then a bra.

Vanda: Actually, it's in the kitchen but you can't really be there in your underwear. Leave it to me. (summons wrapping bandage)

Donnie/April: Thanks. (wraps bandage around April's breasts) There. Much better. Now I should change into an outfit that best suits this night's tutoring session.

Vanda: I may help you on this one.

[SNAP; POOF]

Donnie/April: This is perfect! Thanks, Vanda!

Vanda: No problem.

Kaii: Now you're ready for- wait... I think we're missing something.

Donnie/April: Like what?

Kaii: Hairstyle! You can't go out tutoring with that kind of mess! It needs a makeover!

Donnie/April: (groans)

After a couple of hairstyles, he finally choose one.

Kaii: Much better. Now get out there and tutor Casey Jones like you never tutor him before.

Donnie/April: With pleasure. But wait, since I'm in April's body, that would mean I have to use the Tessen as my weapon.

Rockruff: Don't worry! I bet the Tessen is one of the easiest weapons you can use!

Donnie/April: I hope so.

### Turtles

The Turtles hit the streets in The Shellraiser.

(exploration mode: Explore New York via Shellraiser)

Mei: What does it say, Donnie!

April/Donnie: Huh? Oh! Um, it says that the Kraang are seemingly working on some type of secret, heavy weaponry.

Mao Yin: You sure you're feeling okay, Don? You're not being yourself.

Raph: Like it was normal or something.

April/Donnie: Fine! Just fine. Don't worry about me. I'm perfectly okay.

Jolteon: Maybe they disguised some lasers as burritos!

Flareon: And why would they do that for? Whatever! That's your logic not ours!

Vaporeon: Focus, everyone. When we're done dealing with The Kraang, we might as well go get some Mexican... pizza.

Jolteon: Really?!

Vaporeon: Really.

Jolteon: Okay! Let's stop the Kraang and get some Mexican pizza!

Espeon: Not so loud, Sparky.

Jolteon: Whoops! Sorry.

### Ice Rink

Donnie/April: (sighs) (thinking) There he is. Now remember, I have to act like April. Don't get mad because of his looks and personality and the fact he uses his puck to hit April on the head. Just calm down and be like April. (talking with an attempted April's voice) Hey Casey! Hey Rin? What are you doing here?

Rin: Raccoon invited me here! Rin never been to an ice rink before! It's so big and yet it's so cold! (shivers) Brr~...

Donnie/April: Is that so? Well are you ready for some tutoring lessons?

Casey: Yup! And maybe after this, you and I could get some pizza or something.

Rin: But do you have already have a girlfriend?

Donnie/April: (slaps him across his face) Yes Casey. You *do* have Dani as a girlfriend so it would be consider cheating on her. And I don't want to see her have her heart broken.

Casey: Okay, no pizza. But you didn't have to slap me!

Donnie/April: Reflex. Anyway, I already have a boyfriend and his name is Donatello.

Casey: Oh~ so you two went up a level from childhood friends to couple.

Donnie/April: That's right! So you better not mess with me!

Casey: Got it. (chuckles) Well anyway, I guess we should start that lesson right?

Donnie/April: Yes. (under his breath) Unfortunately.

But before they could start, Foot-bots appeared.

Donnie/April: Foot-bots?! Now of all things?!

Umbreon: Friends of yours?!

Rockruff: Not at all! Look, you have to run!

Umbreon: Run from this?! No way! Me and Casey Jones got this! You guys run!

Casey: Now this is more exciting!

Donnie/April: Casey Jones, you need to get outta here! (dodges) It's not safe!

Casey: Don't worry about me! Casey Jones got this!

Donnie/April: (sighs) Fine. I'll leave. (runs)

Casey: (whistles) Raavi, we have some company!

Raavi: Huh? Whoa, where did these ninjas come from?

Casey: Doesn't matter. Raavi, flame out! (transforms) Xiao Long is here to take you out! (goes into fighting stance) Get ready to be on fire!

Meanwhile, Karai is secretly and secludedly watching April from a rooftop and sends a whole lot more Foot-Bots after her.

### Turtles

(stealth mode: Sneak inside the Kraang hideout)

Mikey is actually able to use his hands to create three accurate shadow puppets of a rabbit, an elephant, and a belly dancer to distract the three guards, granting the Turtles the sheer element of surprise as they disable the three Kraang droids from above.

April/Donnie: Guys, look at that.

Akame: That's one giant robot.

Leone: Wonder what are they gonna use it for. Any ideas?

Mine: Not sure but we have to put a stop to their plan.

April/Donnie: Agree. On a count of- (shrieks as his T-Phone begins to ring) Sorry about that. (picks up) Hello?

Donnie/April: April! I-I mean, Donnie! I need your help! Foot-bots are chasing after me and I have to leave some to Casey!

Dani: What?

April/Donnie: Where are you?

Donnie/April: Not far from the ice rink. I'm heading to an alleyway. Help me!

April/Donnie: Okay, okay. I'll be right there. (hangs up) Sorry guys. I have to save Donnie, I mean, April. Yeah April. Mind freeze. (leaves)

Dani: I'm going too. Just be careful.

Mickie: Bye-bye!

Raph: Did he seriously left us?

Akane: We can take care of these scum.

Raph: Alright. Let's do this.

### Donnie/April

Donnie/April: Kaii, out of the water! (transforms) Good thing I remember all of Koi's attack. Now get ready for a splash of a lifetime! (starts attacking) Done. (changes back to normal) Now I have to find a place to hide before someone else... (Karai shows up) shows up... Great~....

Karai: (chuckles) Hello, wannabe kunoichi. So glad you can come.

Donnie/April: You don't want to mess with me, Karai. I can kick your butt.

Karai: Oh yeah? (snaps her finger)

Rai uses Wrap to trap Donnie/April.

Donnie/April: Let go of me! (struggling to escape)

Karai: It's no use. Rai?

He tightens him a little.

Donnie/April: (grunts) (thinking) I'm gonna be suffocated if I don't do something.

Espeon: Rock Throw!

Seviper: Ow! (lets go of him)

April/Donnie: April, are you okay?!

Donnie/April: I'm fine. Don't worry.

Karai: Why you little...! (takes out Pokeball) Come on out, Brair!

Shiny Roserade: Roserade!

Donnie/April: Help us out, Sammy!

Squirtle: Squirtle!

April/Donnie: You too, Murray!

Emolga: Emo! Let's do this, Donnie-sama!

Donnie/April: Donnie-sama?

Karai: Rai, Poison Tail! Brair, Petal Dance!

Rai: Poison...!

Shiny Roserade: Petal Dance!

Petal Dance begin surrounding Rai's Poison Tail.

```
Combination Move: Poison Dance!

```

Rockruff: Look out!

April/Donnie: I got this! Murray, use Electro Ball on Seviper!

Donnie/April: Sammy, Ice Beam on Roserade!

Emolga: You got it! Electro Ball! (electrocutes Rai)

Squirtle: Ice Beam!

Shiny Roserade: Protect! Think that would attack me? (charges) Dazzling Gleam!

Squirtle: (grunts)

Rockruff: Sammy, you okay?!

Squirtle: Yup... I'm fine.

### Casey

Xiao Long: (panting) Crap, I only have one minute left before returning to normal. Guess I have no choice. (changes back) I'll let you have some rest, Raavi.

Raavi: Thanks. I was about to get tired anyway.

Casey: Now let's do this!

### Turtles

The Turtles continue to fight The Kraang, until Robo-Bradford is ready and fully-charged.

Mikey: He won't be *that* tough! (charges and jumps at him)

But the robot is able to detect the movement, resulting in the young turtle being easily defeated...The robot both has and wields plasma whips and plasma swords, and it easily outmatches every single one of the Turtles all at once. He ties Leo up, and is just about ready to blast him with his laser eyes. However, the robot now boots up it's main programming and it's intended course of action....,which is to capture April. Thus, it leaves to find her, and the Turtles are forced to follow it, but not before Mikey picks up one of The Kraang's automatic guns that was dropped and accidentally fires it at his three upset brothers...

Mikey: Whoops. Sorry.

### Donnie/April and April/Donnie

Donnie/April: What?! A robot?!

Karai: That's the one I ordered.

April/Donnie: Wait what?!

Robo-Bradford picks up Donnie/April.

Donnie/April: Hey! Let me go! I'm not the one you're looking for!

Robo-Bradford: Must bring target back to Kraang.

Karai: Kraang?! Those double-crossers! They never intended to bring her back to Foot HQ like I told them to!

Donnie/April: I said let go, you stupid robot!

???: Air Slash!

Donnie/April: Huh?

Karai: What the heck is that? A ghost?

April/Donnie: That's the same one from before! Hey you! Change back to our own bodies!

Karai: Huh? What are you talking about?

Donnie/April: Long story.

The ghost snaps his finger to create a huge flash of light that covers all of New York. While everything is in a flash, it made April and Donnie back to their bodies, put a Pokeball in her purse, destroy Robo-Bradford and the Foot-bots and have Karai disappear before the Turtles arrive.

Mikey: Huh? Looks like you already took care of Chrome Dome.

April: (groans) Hey, I'm back to my own body! Oh sweet Jesus...

Donnie: I'm glad... Being a human girl is so much work. (sighs)

### Later on

#### Lair

##### Common Area

Leo: Feeling better?

April: Yeah. A lot better. I have some time for myself and now I want to do some training.

Splinter: Good to hear. Sometimes it's best that you should be alone and have some time to think. You may train whenever you wish, April.

April: Thanks, Sensei. And also, Donnie... Thank you.

Donnie: For what?

April: For being the best childhood friend a girl will ever met. And also being there for me even if I didn't want you to. (hugs and kisses him on the cheek) So thanks for everything.

Donnie is so happy that he has a daydream in which he flies all around the world.

Donnie: I LOVE BEING A TURTLE!!!!
