## Script

### Lair

Mikoto: Ta-da! The Mutagen Tracker is finish!

Mikey: Cool! What does it do?!

Snowpard: It's simple really. All it does is tracking down the Mutagen energy in the air and it'll tell you the exact location of it. This is only a prototype but I think it'll work perfectly.

Leo: Then let's head out and get some Mutagen canisters.

Everyone: Right!

Chihiru: And one last thing. This tracker is connected to my laptop so it'll give me the precise locations the canisters have falling into.

Raph: Now let's go already! I'm itching for some action!

Ryuko: Me too! Let's go!

#### Alleyway

Mikey: No sign of any mutagen, but you're not gonna believe what I found! An iguana wearing a top hat! Isn't it cool? I mean, why would you throw this out? [horrible British accent] Hello, governor. How do you like my mon-ockle?

Donnie: Monocle.

Mikey: [real voice] Whatever.

Raph: You DO realize that could be a distant cousin. And it's stuffed with sawdust.

Michelangelo: EW, SICK! [tosses it aside]

[BUZZING]

Chihiru (via speaker phone): Guys, the tracker says it's going towards the tall building.

Raph: Do we have to?

Leo: We must take every lead. After all, we are here to prevent any mutations from happening.

Raph: Uh huh.

They then climb the building and eventually find it.

Star: So how many do we have left?!

Blake: 63.

Star: 63?! That's a lot of Mutagen to collect.

Guri: Yeah! So many of that green stuff!

Without the Turtles noticing, Karai is on another rooftop, spying on them with some binoculars.

Karai: So they're collecting some Mutagen canisters eh. Well this is becoming more fun than I expected.

Michelangelo: We've been looking for mutagen for days now, dudes, it's so boring I'm gonna scream! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!

Leo, Donnie, and Raph: MIKEY!

Leonardo: Ok, ok! We get it! We'll take a break and do something fun, cool?

[Donnie, Raph and Mikey give enthusiastic assent]

Leo: Training session! Yes!

[Donnie, Raph and Mikey groan]

Mao Yin: Can we do something *other* than training?!

Josephine: Yeah! I want to do something fun!

Leo: Don't worry. This is fun. The game is somewhat similar to King of the Mountain. I'm gonna be in the middle and guard the other side while you tried to get there.

Pimiko: Bring it.

Leo steps onto the wires, preparing to fight with his equally prepared brothers and sisters.

Vaporeon: Let's do this!

(minigame: Try to get pass Leo)

But just as he was about to face Raph, he heard someone yelled "Watch out!" and gets crashed by a figure.

Mao Yin: You okay?!

Leo: (groans)

???: My head... That was an epic wipeout... Sorry I crashed into you...

Raph: What the?! We have three Leos?!

Mikey: Three?!

Alolan Raichu: Lea, are you okay?! That was some crash you got yourself into!

Leanarda: I'm alright! (stands up and grabs her skateboard) I was practicing my skateboarding tricks but I guess I went overboard and trip. (chuckles) The name's Leanarda. Call me Lea.

Donnie: Lea?

Lea: That's right, dude! Sorry I crashed the party! But what are you doing anyway?

Leo: If you want to know, we were in the middle of a game in which they were playing unfairly.

Lea: I like games! You wanna do a surfing competition at the beach or something?

Josephine: You surf?!

Lea: Yeah I can! I also do skateboarding and snowboarding. Just anything with a board is what I'm good at!

Luna: Tell us more.

Lea: Sure, little turtle! I'm also a great artist and I'm part dog! (howls) See?!

Sena/Platinum: That's so cool!

Lea: I know right?!

Raph: I kinda like Lea. She may look like Leo but doesn't act like him in any way.

Donnie: You're right. She's much more relaxed and easygoing then Leo is.

Mao Yin: We gotta take her with us to the Lair!

Lea: Lair?

Pimiko: Our home. Come on. We'll show you.

Lea: Sure thing! Let's go! On the double curl!

Mikey: On the double curl?

Miu: The fuck does that mean?!

Lea: I just like saying that. It's fun to say it out loud!

Mikey: I do that a lot too!

Flareon: Second thought, she acts more like Mikey then Leo!

Espeon: Yeah she does.

### Lair

Lea: (gasps happily) You have an amazing place! You have your own pool?! Akaw! (jumps) CANNONBALL~!

[SPLASH]

Alolan Raichu: How's the water?

Lea: Amazing~... (lies on her shell) I could stay here forever.

Leo: I'm glad you're enjoying yourself but we still need some answers.

Lea: You don't have to be an aggro about it.

Leo: What does that supposed to mean?!

Lea: It means aggressive surfing/surfer! You seriously need some lessons on the art of surfing.

Vaporeon: Let's not fight. So where do you come from, Leanarda?

Lea: California, West Coast (fist pump the air) represent! I was raised here in an orphanage along with my sisters.

Leo: So you were...?

Lea: Yup. Human. We were humans before we got mutated into turtles! And we aren't sisters by blood as we live in different parts of the United States. I was born in California. Rach was born here in New York. Dani was born in Texas and Mickie's born in Tennessee.

Donnie: I see...

Lea: It sounds crazy I know! (jumps out of the water) But I'm telling the truth! (changes into her Dog Form (Newfoundland Dog) to start shaking the water off)

Leo: Hey! Can you use a towel at least?!

Lea: Nah. I don't want a towel. Thanks for asking anyway.

Leo: (growling)

### Karai

The scene then abruptly switches to Karai in one of Bradford's formerly owned Dojos, who is looking at a dilapidated picture of her now deceased mother with a sad expression on her face. Then, a squad of Foot Ninjas appear out of the blue, approaching her from behind with their weapons raised, which obviously indicates an impending challenge.

(minigame: Defeat the Foot Ninjas)

Kyle: That's quite enough!

Karai: What the hell is going on?

Kyle: Like them? These are the Foot-bots the Kraang had created for the Foot.

Karai: Foot-bots? Cool.

Kyle: These will be useful on defeating the Turtles.

Shredder: That's right. But I have some news.

Karai: What kind of news, father?

Malamar: We and Candy are going to Japan for some important business.

Shredder: And you two are gonna look after Foot HQ until our return.

Candy: I can't wait to go to Japan! I want to try their food, wearing the modern outfits, and much more! (squeals happily) I have to make sure I have everything with me!

Shredder: (sighs) And one more thing. You are not allow to go after the Turtles. I want to destroy them all myself. Don't go after them until we come back.

Together: Understood, father.

Shredder: Good. (leaves)

Kyle: So does this mean we have to work together?

Karai: I'm not gonna do that.

Kyle: Me either. You are too rebellious to be leader.

Karai: And you're too full of yourself to be leader.

Kyle: That's harsh.

Karai: It's the truth.

### Turtles

Lea: Wow~! This is so akaw!

Mao Yin: Donnie was the one who made it.

Donnie: I don't need to brag but~...

Lea: Far out! This could be perfect to go to the beach!

Alolan Raichu: Can we go to the beach?

Leo: We don't have time to go to the beach!

Lea: Someone's being a barney.

Leo: My name is not Barney.

Lea: I know that, lion! If you're into surfing, barney means someone who is uncool, untalented, or a rookie. Someone who tries to be cool but isn't. You're like that.

Leo: (growling under his breath)

Lea: Besides, you need some lessons on surfing slang terms. 'Cause you don't really seem to know the surfer talk.

Leo: I'm not into surfing nor do I need to learn to surf.

Lea: Suit yourself. (chuckles and changes into her Newfoundland Dog Form) You know, my sister Dani would make it better if it has wings to fly like a bird! That would be far out!

Mikey: I like that idea! Donnie, make the Shellraiser have wings!

Donnie: Nope. Not doing that.

Lea and Mikey's ears and tails drooped in disappointment.

Together: Ah man~... It would've been cool...

Espeon: Stop the Shellraiser! We got another Mutagen Canister near that building!

Raph stops the Shellraiser.

Chihiru: It seems that the Mutagen Canister is located at the basement.

Tashigi: The basement?

Ladybug: I don't want to be in the basement!

Aoi: M-M-Me either! Basements are where monsters live!

Akane: There's no such things as monsters. That only happens in horror.

Lea: Speaking of horror, my sister Rach is a horror fanatic! She loves watching horror and never gets scared once!

Raph: What?! Impossible! Everyone gets scared! Not me of course!

Pimiko: And what about your fear of cockroaches?

Raph: Don't bring that up!

Jolteon (now fused with Raikou): Rach isn't afraid of anything right?!

Lea: That's right! Rach doesn't have a fear! She watches so much horror films it doesn't faze her one bit! Oh I wish they were here so I can greet them to you guys.

Jonah: Let's just go downstairs.

Lea: Hai! On the (with Mikey) double curl! (to Mikey) Now you're getting it!

Mikey: You're right! It is fun to say it out loud!

Lea: Exactly, dude! Exactly!

Donnie, Raph, and Leo then search for the canister, with no luck. Mikey, however, manages to find it.

Mikey: I found it! I found it! All right! Now we can leave!

Mikey picks up the canister, which has a string attached to it (which he seemingly neglects to see), quickly causing all of the doors to spring shut, trapping the Turtles inside.

Sonia: It was a trap?!

Star: Ah man! A trap?!

Guri: Didn't see that coming!

???: Sludge Bomb!

Vaporeon: Protect! Who was that?

Seviper: That would be us.

Karai: (whistles) Foot-bots, attack them.

(minigame: Defeat the Foot-bots)

Alolan Raichu: Thunderbolt~!

Vaporeon: We have to flee from here!

Flareon: Why should we?! We can handle all of them even if they're robots!

Vaporeon: No Pyro! We're leaving!

They then climb some nearby elevator ropes; One of the robots catches up and grabs onto Mikey's foot, but he manages to kick it off.

(quick-time event: Escape from the Foot-bots)

They then reach a floor and Raph gets there first, pulling Mikey and Donnie up with him. However, one of the robots then catches Leo's foot, but then, even more come up and engulf him, ultimately causing all of the wires connecting to the elevator to snap completely in half. Leo then falls down with the robots, and seemingly gets captured.

Lea: Leo! (jumps down)

Mikey: Lea don't!

Lea: I'll be fine! Just go on without me!

Raph: But...!

Lea: Just go!

???: Teleport. (teleports the group)

Lea: That must have been... Good. At least she can hear me.

### Rooftops

Everyone: (screaming)

[OOF]

Celestia: That was a hard fall.

???: You okay down there?!

Raph: What?

???: Are you fucking death?! I say are you alright! Jeez! Your hearing must be bad to not hear me once!

???: Now now, Rachael. You shouldn't be mean to them.

Rachael (arctic fox ears and tail): Whateva'!

???: My name is Daniella. This is Michaela and Rachael. I hope you're all alright.

Luna/Platinum: We're fine... But we lost Leo and Lea!

Rach: You did what?! How dare you leave her like that! I'm gonna kick all of your asses right now!

Dani (lioness ears and tail): Rach, stop! They didn't mean to leave her.

Mickie (bunny ears and tail): Yeah! Don't be mean to them!

Rach: Hmph! Well I hope you have a plan to get her back!

### Meanwhile

#### Foot HQ

Leo: Why are you doing this?

Karai: Look, my father is in Japan for some business and me and Kyle are being temporarily leaders for now until his return. He specifically told us not to go after you and the others as he wants to destroy you himself. Not to worry though. You two would be perfect subjects to fight off the Foot-bots. (snaps her finger to have Foot-bots come to her) Rai, untie them.

Seviper: Poison Tail! (breaks cages)

Lea: Not to worry. I know a plan.

Leo: Huh?

Lea: Come on out, Popplio!

Popplio: Popplio!

Lea: Popplio, use Water Gun!

Popplio: Water Gun!

Lea: Now time for the big surprise! (starts controlling Water Gun)

Vaporeon: What?!

Leo: No way!

Lea: I have the ability to control water. (soaks all Foot-bots to malfunctioned) What do you think about 'em apples?

Leo: That was...

Karai: Impressive... I never thought you could do something like that.

Lea: I have a lot of tricks up my sleeves.

Karai: I see. Come with me. I would like to talk to privately.

Lea: Eh? What do you mean by that?

As the two leave, more Foot-bots appeared.

Vaporeon: Looks like we have to do this ourselves. Ready?

Leo: Ready. Undertow, Mega Evolve!

Vaporeon: (mega evolving) Mega Vaporeon!

#### Karai

Karai begins interrogating Lea.

Lea: That picture...

Karai: This was my mother. Her name was Tang Shen.

Lea: (thinking) She's her daughter?! Tang Shen's daughter?! What should I do? (talking) Um... That's quite interesting, dudette.

Karai: Right.

Lea: So are you gonna let us go or what?

Karai: Let you go? I don't think so.

Lea: Eh? I think you didn't understand the question. Can you *please* let us go?

Karai: Sorry but I can't do that. Father would be pleased to hear about-

Kyle: Karai! Let her go right now! Didn't you hear what father said?!

Karai: What about it?

Kyle: He said we're not supposed to go after the Turtles! He literally said that! How could you betray him! I will make sure you'll be punished for your rebellion! You can go. I'm terribly sorry about that.

Lea: No worries, bro. I know. (leaves)

Kyle: I'm highly disappointed in you. Wait 'till father hears about it.

Karai: I won't let you!

Kyle: Come at me then.

Karai: Why you...!

### Outside

Leo (Wolf Form): (panting)

Rach (Arctic Fox Form): You're alright!

Lea (Newfoundland Dog Form): Of course we are! But you know, I found something really interesting.

Mickie (Bunny Form): What is it?!

Lea: Uh... Oops. I forgot. Sorry.

Everyone: Eh~?! (echoes)

### Lair

#### Dojo

Glaceon: Glad you came, Leonardo.

Leo: Why did you call us here alone?

Splinter: I believe it's time we should tell you about Karai.

Vaporeon: Well we do remember Yuki saying something about the incident and Tang Shen and...

Glaceon: Miwa! Karai's *real* name! She is actually Splinter's daughter that Shredder had stole and Pimiko's long-lost twin sister.

Together: What?!
