## Script

The episode starts inside a dungeon where Karai continues scraping a coin against a cell bar.
Phanteon: (sighs) So boring... Can you hurry it up?

Karai: I'm doing the best I can. Just shut up and be patient.
Suddenly, Fishface enters and delivers a bowl of food to Karai.
Fishface: Here's your food.

Karai: Disgusting. Why this garbage? At least you're in charge and following Tiger Claw's orders.

After Fishface storms out, Karai finally breaks a cell bar and tries to escape. After busting open her cell door, Karai makes a dash to the Dungeon's exit and slices the lock in half with the cell bar, only to be grabbed on the head by Tiger Claw when she thinks she's reached freedom.

Tiger Claw: Where do you think you're going?

Phanteon: Miwa! Let her go! Shadow Ball!

Tiger Claw: (dodges) I don't think so.
Karai makes good use of the bar as she attacks Tiger Claw with it, but she is disarmed and a powerful blow from Tiger Claw knocks her unconscious.
Phanteon: Miwa!

Tiger Claw: Time to end you.

Shredder: Tiger Claw! I forbid you to kill her.
Karai wakes up a short while later, only to find her wrists chained with shackles. Shredder approaches her, much to her ire, and, removing the lower part of his mask.
Shredder: I'm doing what's best for you. Why are you so belligerent against me? -After Karai quietly fumes- Do you have anything to say, daughter?

Karai - I am not your... daughter!

Phanteon: She's Splinter's daughter!

Malamar: Shut up! Now you're gonna get it.

Karai: I can't believe you lie to me! After all these years! I'll never forgive you! Never! Now release me! Right now!

Shredder: I can't do that.

Karai: (growling)

### Lair

#### Common Area

Akame: Hm... Sneaking our way in is our best bet. But however, there's gonna be a lot of security we have to worry about.

Lina: I'll easily hack it and shut it down so you guys have a chance to save her.

Raph: I'm on board to save her. But I also wanna take down the Shredder once and for all with my bare hands! That includes his forces too!

Nyaa-tan: Yeah! Me too!

Mine: You idiot! You can't beat them all by yourself! Some are extremely powerful! Some are deadly! And others can be dangerous! We have to be extra careful.

Natsu: But we can take them on!

Happy: Aye!

Carla: Not so recklessly you aren't.

Leo: We can't confront the Shredder yet. Not like last time.

Akame: I agree. We should avoid him and focus primarily on saving Karai.

Pimiko: Me too! We have to save my twin sister! I don't know what kind of torture they're doing to her.

Vaporeon: That's why each of us will be in a group of three. Taking on a specific task. For example, Leone, Star, and Yang will take care of the powerful enemies.

Leone: Yes!

Star: Booyah!

Leo: Mine, Usopp, and Luffy will take care of the enemies from a far distance.

Luffy: Aw man! I thought I was gonna be one on the front line!

Leo: Leonardo Watch, Carrot and Wanda will take care of the guards.

Wanda: Understood.

Carrot: Right! But uh, I have a question.

Leo: Hold on. I have to give them their roles.

Carrot: But I have a question.

Leo: Please hold on.

Carrot: Leo!

Leo: What?!

Carrot: (jumps in fear) I was gonna ask... Wh-Wh-What would happen i-i-i-if they have special fo-fo-fo-forces?

Leo: Good question. I never thought of that. Sorry I screamed at you.

Mikey: Now hold on! I don't know if this is a good idea! We should just be all together at once! After all, we have the Mink Tribe on our side! And also Princess Vivi's army! That should be enough to rush in and save Karai!

Splinter: That disagreement should never precede a mission. Leonardo, can I talk to you privately at the dojo?

Leo: Hai Sensei. (follows Splinter to the Dojo)

Leone: That's a good idea.

Mine: It's a stupid idea! We have to do it Leo's way!

Jolteon: But it's complicated!

Saitana: Agree! It's dumb! We should have a huge army with us!

Mine: You're not even understanding everything he's saying! Charging in isn't the way! We need to do this stealthy. We can't face the Shredder just yet. We need a plan to deal with him on a different subject. Which would be soon.

Dani: So now what?

Saitana: Don't know but I like Mikey's idea! It's perfect!

Mine: No it isn't! Shut up, demon!

Saitana: You shut up!

Leone: Okay, break it up! Break it up!

Kokichi: (sighs) I love you guys. This is the most fun I ever had. Nee-hee-hee.

#### Dojo

Splinter: It would be difficult - if not impossible - to avoid putting yourself, your brothers, your sisters, and your friends' lives at risk if you try to save my daughter.

Leo: I know that, Sensei. This mission has purpose. You missed her and I want you to be happy. We'll get Karai back.

Ninetales: We are not willing to risk your lives for Miwa!

Vaporeon: But!

Ninetales: End of discussion. It's too dangerous.

Leo: We can handle it! Please let us do this!

Splinter: No! You must understand what we're saying. It's too dangerous. I can't let you risk your lives and others' lives for my daughter. I'm trying to make you understand.

Leo: (growling)

Splinter: Don't start growling at me, Leonardo. Control your instincts as the wolf. I know you're getting angry but you must understand the consequences of trying to save her.

Leo (under his breath): Whatever.

Splinter: What was that? I didn't hear you clearly.

He then runs out of the dojo.

Splinter: Leonardo!

Ninetales: Don't. Trying to talk to him in this state will cause more problems.

Bailey: I believe he needs some time alone. That's all he needs.

Splinter: But I'm very worry about him.

Bailey: I know, hon... I know...

### Outside

#### Rooftops

He howls very loudly at the full moon.

Vaporeon: Leo, calm down. It's gonna be okay.

Leo: No it's not! Sensei doesn't know what *I'm* trying to say! We have to save Karai from Shredder! And if I have to do this all by myself I'm sure as shell I'm gonna do it!

Lucario: It isn't wise to do things out of anger. You need to calm down and take deep breathes.

Leo: Whatever! I'm saving her no matter what! But without the others, I'll be dead for sure. I need to construct my own rescue team. Hm... But where could I find people who are willing to help me? Guess I should just look around. (starts sniffing the air) Oh. I already found my scent. Follow me.

Lucario: Wait for us!

Vaporeon: Yeah! Don't go without us!

### Alleyway

Bullet: Are we done here yet? I'm getting bored...

Bang: I'm almost done!

Liz: Well hurry it up! I just wanna get outta here before someone sees us.

Bullet: And where's the action?! This world is so boring. I need some action here! But obviously, it's too boring...

Bang: We must be patience, Bullet.

Lubbock: Yeah. But if you want, I can make you excited.

Bullet: By smashing your face in with my fist?!

Lubbock: (sweatdrop) Nevermind.

Bullet: Good to hear, you fucking pervert. Look, if the action can't come to us, we'll just have to look for it.

Bang: Oh no you don't! We don't seem to fit in this society. We must stay hidden until we find a way to return home.

Bullet: That's so stupid!

Bang: It's not stupid!

Liz: Don't start fighting, you two!

Leo: Excuse me?

Lubbock: The fuck?!

Leo: Sorry to bother you but we could use your help.

Bullet: Finally something exciting happening! Sure, whatever you want! What is it about?!

Leo: It's a rescue mission. I have a sister who is kidnapped by Shredder. I need to save her but not by myself. Would you help me on this? Please?

Bullet: Of course, turtle! I'm getting bored of standing around here doing nothing. We'll help you out on this one.

Leo: Thank you so much. Really appreciate it. I promise to reward you.

Bang: That won't be necessary! We help others for free! No need to give us rewards for our services to you!

Leo: You sure?

Bang: I'm positive! We help for free! No rewards of any kind. Now take us to where your sister is being held hostage.

Leo: Right! Just follow me and I'll show you!

### Meawhile

Akame: Now remember your positions.

Aqua: So we're really gonna do this?! Are you absolutely sure?!

Wanda: We don't have much of a choice. We must save her. Even without Leonardo here to help us out.

Aqua: But this is crazy! Too crazy! We need to wait for Leo to come!

Akame: We don't have much time. We must act immediately. (talking through walkie-talkie) Everyone ready?

Everyone (via walkie-talkie): Ready!

Lina: I got into the Foot's system. So I have all the power here.

Akame: Operation: Family Rescue is now activated.

While Mikey and Mickie are distracting Rahzar and Fishface, Natsu, Luffy, Leone, and Lucy are infiltrating the Dungeon  through the sewer system, all while Donnie disables the power to the building by cutting down a couple power lines.

Donnie: The power lines are now down that's near Foot HQ.

Lina: I also shut off all the security breaches including alarm systems. All are down for the count.

Wanda: Excellent work! We only have little time before they realize what's happening.

Everyone: Right!

### Leo

Leo: Okay, the coast is clear...

His team jumps in.

Bullet: Everything's so dark...

Bang: Must be the power. Someone must've shut it down.

Leo: Come on... We need to head to the dungeon. That's where Karai is...

Bullet: Got it. So where's the dungeon?

Leo: I'll show you. We need to get there with stealth. Making sure nobody sees us.

Bullet: (sighs) I hate stealth.

### Dungeon

Karai: (sighs) Now what should we do?

Phanteon: Hm... That's gonna be a tricky one. Unless someone is here to save us we're basically sitting ducks.

Karai: Jeez... I hate being here in a cage. I gotta escape somehow...

Natsu: Fire Dragon's Roar! (burns Foot-Bots) Karai!

Karai: Natsu?

Leone: Not to worry! We're here to save you! (pulls cage bars out) Just follow us to the exit!

Karai: Thank you for saving me.

Lucy: No problem! Now follow us! Quickly!

Karai: Right!

[BOOM]

Lucy: Huh?!

Esdeath: Where do you think you're going?

Natsu: Esdeath!

Leone: Looks like we have to deal with you if we have to leave here with Karai!

Esdeath: You won't be going anywhere as long as I'm in charge. Now have Karai put back to her cage and everything will go smoothly.

Karai: I will never go back! Phanteon, Shadow Ball!

Phateon: Shadow Ball!

Esdeath: I see. (freezes and smashes Shadow Ball) Guess we must do this the hard way. Freeze to death! I command you!

Leone: Ha! You don't scare us! Hit it, Dragon Boy!

Natsu: You got it, baby! Fire Dragon's Roar!

Esdeath: (dodges) I see. I forgot you can use fire. Guess my ice powers won't work on you.

Natsu: Of course not! Now prepare to be toasted!

Esdeath: I'll never give up until you die.

Natsu: Bring it on!

Esdeath: As you wish. (charges) Prepare to die!

Leone: Now this is getting exciting!

Lucy: She's gonna kill us!

Karai: Not for long. (takes out Pokeball) Dusk, come on out and use Silver Wind!

Venomoth: Venomoth! Silver Wind!

Esdeath: (grunts) Is that gonna stop me? I don't think so.

(boss battle: Defeat Esdeath)

Leone: (grunts)

Esdeath: (chuckles) Is that the best you got? How pathetic.

Lucy: We're no done yet! Open! Gate of the Golden Bull: Taurus!

Taurus: Moo~!

Esdeath: A cow eh? Well I can handle those kind of creatures.

Taurus: What a beaaaaauuuuutifuuuuul lady!

Lucy: Don't get distracted, Taurus! She's the enemy!

Taurus: Oh right! I shall destroooooy her! (charges)

Esdeath freezes Taurus.

Esdeath: You were saying?

Lucy: Taurus!

Esdeath: See? You shall never leave this place under my watchful eye.

Karai: Oh yeah? Dusk, use Stun Spore on Esdeath!

Venomoth: Stun Spore!

Esdeath: Huh?

Karai: That should keep you in place. Now come on! We don't have much time to waste!

Everyone: Right! (leaves dungeon)

(objective: Leave Foot HQ. Protect Karai from the Foot-Bots)

Natsu: Fire Dragon's Roar! (panting)

Lucy: There's too many of them!

Leone: How do we get past them without fighting?!

Karai: (hears something) We should duck!

Leone: Duck?!

Karai: Now!

They duck as a huge need destroys the Foot-Bots and it gets stuck to the wall.

Natsu: Whoa!

Lucy: That's one huge needle!

Bang: Come this way! We'll show you the way out!

Karai: Huh? (spots Leo) Leo?

Vaporeon: Come on! We don't got much time!

Leone: Sure thing! Thanks for the save!

Leo: No problem.

Vaporeon: Just follow us before it's too late!

Everyone: Right!

Karai: Never thought you would come with more people, blueberry.

Leo: You are my sister, Karai. I'll do anything to bring you back safely. Even risking my own life for it.

Karai: I see...

(objective: Escape from Foot HQ)

Leo: I see the exit! Let's get outta here!

Everyone: Right!

They were able to escape.

Raph: Leo?!

Leo: Hey guys!

Mikey: Glad you're here!

Donnie: And you have Karai with you.

Leone: So it's mission accomplished!

Akame: We should return to the Lair.

Everyone: Right! (leaves)

### Lair

Karai: Glad we're out of there.

Mine: It was too easy!

Nonon: They didn't stand a chance against us!

Luna/Platinum: Hell yeah they didn't!

Litchi: So it's missions accomplished.

Taokaka: And that means we get to relax~meow! Tao loves napping~meow!

Nyaa-tan: Me too! I also love napping!

Taokaka: Tao and cat lady should nap together~meow!

Nyaa-tan: Great idea!

Mine: You two should get a room! I don't want to see this!

Together: Okay~meow! (leaves)

Mine: Good riddance.

Splinter: What's the meaning of this?! I thought- (spots Karai) Miwa?

Karai: Hello father. (hugs him) My *real* father.

Jolteon: Now that's sweet.

Flareon: Yeah...

Splinter: I guess it was worth the risk.

Leo: I told you we can bring her back safely.

Mao Yin: Yeah! (chuckles)

### Foot HQ

Tiger Claw: We have returned, Master Shredder.

Shredder: Results?

Kameko: None as of right now.

Esdeath: We have scoured the city in search of Karai and has ordered some Foot-Bots to keep up the search and return to us with every detail.

Nui: As of right now, we have turned up empty-handed.

Shredder: I see. Well continue searching! They must be here somewhere!

Tiger Claw: We'll look every inch of this city, Master Shredder.

Malamar: I hope so! Those Turtles are gonna pay for this!

Tiger Claw: Understood.

### Lair

#### Dojo

Karai begins readjusting to her new lifestyle with her biological father Splinter, as she watches the Turtles and their sisters (who are now her adoptive brothers and sisters) undergo some casual sparring while she takes time to observe. Donnie and Raph square off while Leo and Mikey face off, with Mikey goofing around such as tucking his limbs into his shell and rolling on the ground, catching Leo off-guard.
Leo: Mikey, concentrate. This is supposed to be serious.

Mikey: (dodges) I know that! I'm just having fun with it! You know, taking it a spin. Sparky, (snaps his fingers playfully) use Thunderbolt!

Jolteon: Thunderbolt!

Vaporeon: I got this! Ice Beam! (freezes Thunderbolt)

Jolteon: That was a nice one, Undertow!

Mikey smacks Leo on the face before getting kicked to the ground by Leo with a roundhouse kick.

Mikey: Ow, my poor arm!

Leo: Sorry! Are you okay, Mikey?!
With his brother thrown off guard, Mikey, using his dominant uninjured arm, quickly flings a large water balloon that hits Leo right in the face. Additionally, Mikey embarrasses Leo in front of Karai, who snickers in amusement while Splinter face-palms in dismay, all of this to Leo's chagrin.
Jolteon: (laughing)

Vaporeon: This isn't funny! It's just a plain dirty trick!

Jolteon: Oh come on, Undertow. No need to be so negative all the time.

Vaporeon: Well sometimes being negative is the best thing.

Jolteon: Really?

Vaporeon: Yes.
Leo angrily charges at Mikey and tackles him to the ground. As the duo tussle, Donnie accidentally gets swept up in the brawl. Raph watches the horseplay for a few seconds as the three brothers tumble across the dojo with a confused look on his face, only to shrug (as if to say 'Eh, why not'), drop his sais and charges at them to form a doggy pile on the floor.
Mao Yin: (laughs) What are you doing?!

Josephine: Family dogpile fight~!

The sisters joins in as well.

Karai: (chuckling) Does this happen on a daily basis?

Glaceon: Unfortunately yes, Karai.

Rin: It's a lot of fun here at the dojo! Anything can happen! (chuckles)

Splinter: Everyone, stop! Yameru!

They stopped and stands in a straight line from tallest to shortest.

Splinter: My sons and my daughters. That should be enough training for today.

Everyone: (bows) Hai, Sensei. (leaves)

Karai stays with Splinter for several minutes. She glances at the picture of herself (as an infant) in Tang Shen's arms.

Karai: What really happened between you and Shredder?

Splinter: Our rivalry wasn't only sparked by our simultaneous love of your mother, but something deeper. There were battles between the Hamato Clan and the Foot Clan that lasted for centuries. One day, after the Foot Clan was defeated, my father found Oroku Saki as an infant that had been abandoned. My father decided that he should give Saki shelter and Oroku soon met me and Usagi. After this occurence, we three grew up alongside each other, behaving like best friends but also engaged in sibling ribaldry as brothers are. Well only me and Saki. Usagi is having fun with. However, that minor rivalry began to grow when the two of us learned of our mutual love of Tang Shen. Not long after this, however, Saki learned about the clan that he originated from (the Foot Clan) and was shocked when he figured out that I had kept it secret.

Karai: So that's why...

Splinter: I had to. My father told me not to tell him about the Foot until he gets older.

Karai: So what happened after that?

Splinter: But not only this, plus the fact that Shen had sided with me, caused Saki to initiate a fight with me, tearing through the dojo that they trained in, ending with the loss of Shen, who took a fatal blow meant for me. With the dojo ablaze after candles were struck down, Saki found Karai unattended outside, taking her away and rebuilding the Foot Clan in his quest for power.

[SCREEN REVERTS TO THE PRESENT]

Karai: So he really is a bastard. He's responsible for everything! Why didn't you take revenge on him?!

Splinter: Because revenge is something that can always lead to more pain - something that the Shredder doesn't realize. Being reunited with you is far better than anything else.
Each of them then enjoy a cup of tea, though Karai sips her bowl reluctantly.
Each of them then enjoy a cup of tea, though Karai sips her bowl reluctantly.

Karai: (thinking) I don't think so, father. I'll get my revenge and get your revenge on Shredder. I just need the perfect timing to sneak out.

Soon, everyone prepare to go to bed, while Karai already appears to be asleep.

Leo: Karai, are you wake? (no response) Guess she is.
Thus, he exits the room that she's lying down in. However, Karai then opens one of her eyes, revealing that she was simply pretending to sleep. Cut to a scene of her about to leave the lair via the abandoned subway tracks when Leo approaches her.

Leo: Karai, don't do this.

Karai: And why not?

Leo: Going after your true enemies alone is like a death sentence.

Karai: Don't stop me.

Leo: I only want to help me.

Karai: My whole life has been about revenge and having you assist me wouldn't be right. I have to do this alone.

Leo: You can't. You need my help.
In response to this, Karai seductively approaches Leonardo, puts her palm on his shoulder, leans in close to his face (as if they were going to kiss) and smiles.

Karai: Sorry about this.
(Leo looks shocked) but instead she flatly rebuffs his offer and tosses a ball of blinding powder in his face after apologizing. After Leo tumbles over, Karai departs down the subway tunnel.

Karai: This will end tonight. Seeing how strong Shredder is, I should get someone much more powerful then he is. And I know a certain fox that can help me out. (leaves)

### April's Apartment

#### Windowside

Karai: This must be the place. (opens window) And it's not locked. I'm guessing it's for my brothers and sisters if they want her for something. (steps inside) Cozy bedroom. (spots April) There she is. Sleeping like an angel. (shaking her) April... April... April, wake up.

April: Huh? (looks at Karai and screams while jolting up) Karai, what are you doing in my bedroom?!

Karai: Sorry about this. But this is urgent. Really urgent.

April: What do you want?

Karai: I want to get revenge on Shredder but I know you can destroy him. You're half-Kitsune so you can be my secret weapon. Shredder has an interest in Japanese mythical beasts. Especially a Kitsune. So if you can really destroy him mentally and physically, I can get my revenge and return to the Lair before the others wake up.

April: And why should I help you?

Karai: I know we haven't been in good terms. But I really need you for this. I promise to make it up for you. We can hang out and get something to eat. My treat.

April: Hm...

Karai: Please~? I'll pay you.

April: How much?

Karai: 40 bucks.

April: Deal. (changes into her Kitsune-Fox Form) Let's do this.

Karai: Thank you! (hugs her) Thank you so much!

April You're welcome. Now we should get going.

Karai: Right! (leaves)

Sneaking back into the Shredder's headquarters, Karai and April enters the throne room. Karai notices that her former 'father' seems to be sitting in his throne.

April: (sniffs) Karai, wait!

Karai: Huh?

April: That's not Shredder. Take a closer look.

Karai realizes that the Shredder has put Chrome Dome there instead. The Shredder then appears from out of the shadows.

Shredder: You have returned sooner then I expected.

Chrome Dome then grabs Karai from behind, but she manages to impale it with her blade.

She then confronts the Shredder in combat.

Karai: You will pay for what you have done to my father and my twin sister!

Shredder: You have made a bad mistake. You hold no surprises since I had taught you everything I know in the arts of Ninjutsu.

Karai: Hold no surprises eh? Well I do have one. (whistles)

Shredder gets hit by fox fires.

Shredder: A Kitsune?!

Karai: And you said I don't hold any surprises... She's my pet.

April: (thinking) Pet?! (runs to Karai and whispers) Karai, you didn't told me I have to be a pet!

Karai: (whispers) Sh... I have an idea. Just follow my lead.

April: (whispers) Um... Okay but I hope this works.

Karai: (whispers) It will. Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

April: (whispers) I hope so. I am nobody's pet. And I really wanna kick his ass. And hey, at least you paying me for all of this.

(boss battle: Defeat Shredder)

April: (breathes out fire)

Shredder: (dodges) This Kitsune is strong... As expected, there are few that can slay a Kitsune. And that "few" will be me! (charges at April and Karai)

April: He's charging at us!

Karai: Make us an illusion.

April: Okay! (eyes flashes gold)

Shredder: What? (sees them disappear) Where are you?! (looks around) Show yourself!

Karai: Perfect. Now's our chance while he's distract- (grunts in pain as she gets punched by Tiger Claw)

April: Karai! (runs to her) Are you okay?!

Tiger Claw: You think you two can beat Master Shredder?

April: (growling at Tiger Claw)

Tiger Claw: I doubt even a Kitsune could beat him.

April: (pounces at Tiger Claw) Don't ever say that! We can beat him! (growling aggressively)

Tiger Claw: I don't think so... (throws her to the wall) It was foolish of you (stands up) to come here in intent to defeat Master Shredder.

April: We can defeat him! (growls) You shouldn't be messing with a Kitsune. (breaths out fox-fire)

Tiger Claw: (dodges)

April: (changes to her Kitsune-Human Form) You won't beat me *that* easily! (shoots fire-fox balls at Tiger Claw)

Tiger Claw shoots each one. He runs and grabs April by the neck and hoist her up.

April: (grunting pain) Let me go...

Karai: (wakes up) Huh? April! (stands up) Let her go, you overgrown furball!

Tiger Claw: So you have awoken eh?

Karai: Just let her go or else!

Tiger Claw: Or else what?

Shredder kicks her to the wall.

April: Karai... (grunts in pain as he squeezes harder)

Shredder: How pathetic. You really think you can beat me? I don't think so. Tiger Claw, take care of this Kitsune. I'll take care of Karai.

Tiger Claw: Right, Master Shredder. (leaves)

April: Let me go, you furball! (grunts in pain)

Tiger Claw: Shut up. You will be punished for your crimes.

April: (growling) You're gonna pay for this.

Tiger Claw: Whatever.

Shredder: And you're coming with me.

Karai: No! I will not go with you! I'll have my revenge!

She tries to kick him but he pins her to the ground.

Shredder: You can't defeat me, Karai. I'm much stronger then you.

Karai: (growling)

### Tiger Claw

Tiger Claw: This is the perfect place to end you.

April: (struggling) Just release me!

Tiger Claw: I will release you... to your doom. Any last words before I send you to your doom?

Before she could say anything, Tiger Claw gets kicked by a figure and it grabbed her.

???: You okay?

April: Donnie! (hugs him)

Tiger Claw: You insolent fool!

Donnie: I'm glad you're safe, April. (lets her go) Now as for you, Tiger Claw. You're gonna pay for hurting her!

Tiger Claw: Such a fool. Doing this for love. I don't have time to fight against you.

Donnie: You have no other choice. (strikes him) Nobody will lay a finger on April. I'll make you pay. (growling)

Tiger Claw: This is your own loss.

(mini-boss battle: Defeat Tiger Claw as Donnie)

Donnie: (panting heavily)

Tiger Claw: You fought well, turtle. But you can't defeat me. I know all your tricks.

Donnie: You do huh?

Tiger Claw: That's right. You think you can defeat me? I don't think so. You're being quite foolish challenging me to a fight. I will destroy you.

Donnie: You can't destroy a fox. No matter how many times you out me down.

Tiger Claw: We'll see about that. (charges at him)

Donnie: Sputnik, Dazzling Gleam!

### Meanwhile

Leo (Wolf Form): (sniffing the ground) Her scent is coming from this way. We're on the right track.

Flareon: I hope you're right! I just want to beat Shredder up!

Raph: Me too! Bring it on!

Vaporeon: Calm down, Raph. Our first priority is to save Karai. You can beat up Shredder later if we have time.

Flareon: Whatever you say. Besides, this should be quick and easy!

Jolteon: Yeah! Quick and easy! Woo!

Flareon: Shut up, Sparky.

Jolteon: Just cheering the team up!

Vaporeon: Don't start arguing with each other.

Flareon: We aren't arguing. Right, Sparky?

Jolteon: Yup! No arguments here!

Vaporeon: Uh huh. Like I'm gonna believe that.

Flareon: You should because I say so! Even Sparky agrees with me!

Vaporeon: Anyway, we have to save Karai and then we can get out of here as fast as we can without any troubles.

Flareon: Because it always had worked the last times we did this.

Vaporeon: Shut up, Pyro.

Flareon: Just saying! Jeez...

Leo: Focus, everyone. We can't lose sight. (sniffing the ground while walking)

Raph: All I want to kick Shredder in the butt!

Leone: Yeah! I can't wait for a fight!

Panther Lily: You must be patient. Running ahead would mean a death sentence.

Carla: And we can't rush in without a plan!

Raph: (groans) I just wanna kick some major butt!

Flareon: Me too! Hope this is worth it!

Vaporeon: Be patient, Pyro. Don't worry... It will be worth it...

Mikey's ears begins twitching.

Mikey: Guys, do you hear something?

Raph: You mean Leo's annoying sniffing? Cause that's the only thing I'm hearing.

Mikey: Not that! Listen closely.

Leo: My sniffing is not annoying! And also, I do hear something else.

Raph: Like crying?

Mikey: Yes! I hear someone crying! Follow me!

Leo: Huh?

Raph: Hope this is worth it.

Flareon: Right! I just wanna fight someone.

(mission: Follow the sound of crying)

Mikey: This one! (knocks on cell bar) Hello? Anybody in here?

???: (gasps a little)

Mikey: I know you're in here. Come out.

The figure crawls out of the shadows to reveal herself as Paw.

Paw: It's you guys. What are you doing here?

Leone: We're saving Karai from Shredder!

Paw: What?! Are you crazy?

Mikey: We're used to crazy! And not to worry! We'll help you escape from this cage!

Paw: You would do that for me?

Mikey: Absolutely! No mutant is left behind!

Raph: What?

Mikey: It's our motto.

Raph: I don't remember us thinking of a motto.

Jolteon: But it should be our motto!

Flareon: (sighs) Step aside. Flamethrower! (melts cage bars) There, it's done! Now we should head to Karai to get over with it!

Vaporeon: So impatient...

Flareon: What was that?

Vaporeon: Nothing, Pyro... I didn't say anything.

Flareon: I thought so. Now come on! We're wasting time here! We have to save her!

Jolteon: Let's go and save Karai! (runs)

Flareon: And kick some butt! (runs)

Vaporeon: Right! (runs)

(Mission: Get to Karai's location)

### Karai

Karai: (growling)

Shredder: Oh don't start growling at me, Karai.

Karai: That's not my name and you know it!

Shredder: Why must you be so stubborn?! I'm doing this for your own good.

Karai: You bastard! You wouldn't admit that you killed my mother! It was all your fault! Why didn't you tell me the truth?!

Shredder: Because I don't want you to go back to him. You will always be my daughter. Not Yoshi! And I will make sure you won't return to him.

Karai: (growling) You're the lowest of the low! You're a coward! You wouldn't tell me the whole truth for years until now! You're not the man I used to know!

Shredder: I am not a coward, Karai.

Karai: Yes you are! And stop calling me Karai! My name is Miwa! That's my true name! The name Karai is a name that you have lied to me. I'll never forgive you for everything you have done. Never!

Shredder: (sighs) Look, Karai. I'm doing what's best of you. You shouldn't be this stubborn. You will always be my daughter whether or not you know the truth about the past.

Vaporeon: Water Gun!

Shredder: (gets splashed by Water Gun) Who did that?

Flareon: It was us, you metal head!

Shredder: The Turtles?! That's impossible!

Splinter: It is, Oroku Saki.

Usagi: Yup! So if you don't want to fight us, give Miwa back! She's with us!

Shredder: Never! Karai belongs to me! I would rather be dead then giving her peacefully!

Tsubaki: I see, Saki... Then you shall have that wish. Us against you.

Shredder: Bring it! I can take on every one of you!

(boss battle: Defeat Shredder)

It is not long before Mikey and Raph all become trapped inside of spring-loaded cages that were set on the floor, while Master Splinter is restrained by ropes that the Foot-Bots wrap him up with. Leo is also tossed into a cage by a Foot-Bot, but, luckily, just as the cage retracts on top of him, he slips a part of his Katana into an opening and pries his way out. He climbs up the chain that Karai's cage is attached to and is able to reach her. He removes the duct tape from her mouth and she thanks him for this. However, the Shredder then tries to stab Leo from behind, but Leo's duck results in the Shredder's gauntlets accidentally cutting through the chain stabilizing Karai's cage. Leo and the Shredder both jump clear of the vat, but Karai obviously can't, and her cage sinks deep into the Mutagen, Master Splinter observing in fear. The cage comes flying out of the vat and Karai emerges shortly thereafter.

Everyone: (gasps) Karai!

Mao Yin: No~!

Leo: Oh no... Karai!

Lea: She's a mutant now!

Mickie: A mutant snake!

Rach: Cool!

Dani: Seriously?

Rach: What? She looks awesome now. I need to get a picture or something.

Dani: Rach!

Rach: Okay, I won't take a picture of Karai as a Mutant Snake!

Dani: Thank you. But where was I? Oh yes. (screams) Karai's been mutated into a snake!

Mickie: I'll handle this! Karai, don't attack anybody! Attack Shredder! He's the one you lied to you for many years!

Shredder: No Karai! Attack the Turtles! They're trying to trick you!

Mickie: That's not true! You're the villain around here!

Shredder: Shut up!

Mickie: No you shut up!

Shredder: Why you... (pounces at Mickie)

Mickie: Come at me!

Glaceon: This is terrible.

Ninetales: Now Karai have become a mutant. What should we do now?

Flareon: Attack?

Glaceon: I won't harm her.

Flareon: But you got to! (dodges) See?! She's a wild animal!

Glaceon: Don't say that!

Flareon: Why not?! (dodges) She's going to kill us!

[HISSING ANGRILY]

Vaporeon: Karai, please don't attack us. We're your friends. Remember?

Flareon: Does she even listen to you?

Vaporeon: It's worth a shot.

Flareon: You must be insane! I'm gonna stop her myself! Flamethrower!

Glaceon: You idiot!

Flareon: We don't got much of a choice! She could destroy us all! And I'm not gonna let that happen! Flamethrower! Flamethrower! Flamethrower!

Snake Karai dodges and charges at Pyro.

Piko: (changes into Snake Form) Karai, ssssstop! (pounces at her) You need to calm down and control your powersssss!

Snake Karai struggles to let go of her grip.

[HISSING ANGRILY]

Piko: Ssssisster! You musssstn't attack your family! Attack the one that had lied to you for years.

But Snake Karai starts attacking Piko while she blocks her attacks.

Mao Yin: She's outta control! We need to do something!

Josephine: But with what?!

Mao Yin: Um... We should restrain her.

Josephine: Good idea! (charges)

Mao Yin: Jojo, don't charge at her! She's gonna bite you or worse!

Josephine: I won't let her, sis! No need to worry so much!

Mao Yin: I'm serious! (runs after her) Don't be an idiot!

Snake Karai starts attacking Mao Yin and Josephine as they dodge her attacks.

Mao Yin: Redia, use Flamethrower!

Vulpix: Flamethrower!

Snake Karai dodges Flamethrower.

Vulpix: What?!

Flareon: My turn! Flame Wheel! (attacks Snake Karai) Got you!

Snake Karai attacks Pyro.

Flareon: (screams) Ow...

Vaporeon: Water Gun!

Espeon: Psybeam!

Snake Karai dodges their attacks.

Espeon: It's not working!

Vaporeon: Hydro Pump! Whirlpool!

Snake Karai dodges their attacks.

Vaporeon: Now what?

Espeon: Um...
During the following chaos, some oil is leaked all over the ground and it comes into contact with electricity from a destroyed Foot-Bot, causing a large fire to ignite.

Vaporeon: Fire?!

Espeon: Oh great! Now we have to deal with this!

Vaporeon: Hydro Pump~!

Espeon: I don't think that's enough to stop the fire! We need to get outta here and fast!

Vaporeon: You're right. Guys, we need to escape here before we die from smoke inhalation!

Everyone: Right!

Lea: What about Karai?! I won't leave until she's back!

Dani: Lea, don't be an idiot! We have to leave now!

Lea: But Karai...

Rach: Now, Lea! Before it's too late!

Lea: (growling) Okay... Let's go, everyone.

Ninetales: Splinter, we must leave!
Splinter - Karai, you must listen to me! We must go! (Serpent Karai sees him as she wraps him around in her coils) Daughter... please...

Serpent Karai - Father...? (Splinter makes a slight smile as his daughter releases him. Karai then spits corrosive venom right in Raph's eyes)

Raphael - AAAAHHH!! (Karai slithers way with Leo chasing her)

Leonardo - Wait! (outside, the Turtles and Splinter have escaped. Leo is full of sadness with Karai as a mutant. Donnie is seen with a gourd full of water as he tries to help Raph see again from the blinding venom)

Donatello - Easy, Raph. (he pours some water in his eyes)

Raphael - Enough! I can see fine now! (Leo approaches his broken hearted sensei)

Leonardo - This is all my fault. I should have stopped when I had the chance. I'm sorry, Sensei. (Splinter doesn't answer) Sensei?

Splinter - (broken hearted) We should go home, my sons and daughters.

Leone: Well that was unexpected...

Mine: Yeah... We failed big time.

Akame: . . .

Lea: Karai...

Leo: Lea? You gonna be okay?

Lea: . . .

Leo: Lea? Lea, I'm talking to you.

Lea: It's all your fault, Leo! You should've caught her!

Leo: Me?! I didn't do anything!

Lea: Yes you did! You could've save her!

Leo: I didn't know this was gonna happen! It was all accidental!

Lea: But if you were faster then Karai would've been normal and we would be home with her!

Leo: It happened so fast. If I known this was gonna happen I would've caught her!

April: Lea, Leo, stop arguing! You need to stop!

Zack: April's right. You need to stop.

Lea: No! Leonardo, this is all your fault! I will never forgive you! (punches him in the face and leaves)

Alolan Raichu: Lea, wait! (follows her)

April: You okay, Leo?

Leo: (sighs) I'm alright... (leaves) Let's just go.

April: Leo...

Zack: I'll go find Lea. You should head back to the Lair...

April: Well alright... Be careful.

Zack: I will. No worries. (leaves)

### Lair

#### Living Room

Rach: She punched you good!

Leo: Not helping.

Dani: It looks bad. Where's Lea?

Leo: She just left. I tried to stop her but she won't listen to me.

Rach: She must be really mad to punch you in the face.

Leo: She thinks it's my fault! I didn't do anything!

Leone: Well you were near Karai so it could be your fault. (Mine punches Leone on her arm) What was that for, Mine?!

Mine: It's nobody's fault! We could've predict that Karai would end up mutated into a snake! Lea must be crazy if she thinks it's your fault, Leo!

Leo: I know... I feel bad for her... If Shredder didn't cut the chains I would've saved her and we would be back here as a family.

Mao Yin: We know that, Leo. I just hope Karai's okay out there. Somewhere.

Leo: (looks down in sadness with his wolf ears sloped downwards) Yeah... I hope she's okay...

Vaporeon: (looks down in sadness) Hm...
On a rooftop in the city, Serpent Karai climbs over a billboard and falls, before shapeshifing back into her human form. After this happens, she smirks and then hisses at the screen, ending the episode. Only her serpent eyes and fangs give clues to the fact that she is still a mutant...
