## Synopsis

After the Turtles discover a Kraang plot to turn Earth's water into Kraang water, they infiltrate an undersea Kraang base guarded by a sea creature from Dimension X. Shredder interrogates a captured Kraang droid and learns that April is not only an ally of the Turtles, but the key to the Kraang's ability to take over Earth, so Shredder sends Karai to capture her.

## Script

### Foot HQ

Esdeath: This Kraang doesn't seem to talk. All it does is shriek and scream like a wild animal.

Kyle: Use this, father. It seems they could talk if they wear these robots.

Shredder: I see. Esdeath, put that thing in that machine.

Esdeath: Yes, Master. (puts Kraang inside the robot) Now that's more like it.

Shredder: Tell us what is your objective.

Kraangdroid: Kraang will not give you information in which only Kraang are allowed to know.

Malamar: If you don't tell us, we will have Esdeath freeze you to death.

Kraangdroid: Kraang will explain everything. Kraang need the one named April O'Neil. She is the key in which it is crucial for the Kraang's plan for world domination.

Shredder: Now I understand what's going on. Kyle and Karai, you two must capture April O'Neil and bring it here.

Together: Yes father...

### Lair

#### Dojo

Peko: (strikes April on the side) You must focus on the energy and block every corner of your body.

April: I"m trying to, Peko! Could you go easy on me?!

Peko: In battle, you can't go easy on the enemy. You must plan a strategy fast before they could strike you.

April: How am I supposed to have a plan while I'm attacking the enemy?!

Peko: You'll learn soon enough.

April: Huh?

Mikey: Sparky, use Thunderbolt!

Jolteon: Thunderbolt~!

Flareon: (dodges) Flame Wheel!

Jolteon: Pin Missile!

But it didn't have much of an effect as Pyro strikes Sparky.

Jolteon: Ow...

Flareon: That's what you get for using Pin Missile against Flame Wheel.

Totodile: Water Gun!

Flareon: (grunts) Hey, that wasn't fair!

Totodile: In battle, there's no such thing as fairness!

Houndour: Then maybe you want some fairness in a form of a bite!

Totodile quickly runs as Houndour chases after him.

Glaceon: Does this always happen during training?

Rin: Yup! All the time! C'mon, you should join us!

Doleon: It'll be fun. Come on.

Glaceon: Right.

Splinter: Everyone, gather around. I will begin teaching today's lesson.

Chloe M.: Today's lesson eh?

An-D: Wha' is it abut?!

Donnie: It's pronounce about!

An-D: Ah know dat!

Gabriella: Sure you do.

An-D: Shut up!

Angel: (chuckles)

Splinter: April, could you help me in this lesson?

April: Hai, Sensei. (stands up) But why do you want to choose me?

Splinter: You'll see. Ushirokara watashi o tsukami nasai! {Translation: Grab me from behind!}

April: Eh?

Donnie: He said, "Grab me from behind."

April: Oh. Thanks D.

Liv: This is gonna be good.

She grabs him from behind.

April: Like this, Sensei?

Splinter: Correct.

April: Now what do you want me to do?

Splinter licks her face.

April: Ew~! (lets him go) Sensei, why did you do that for?! (gets tripped to the ground)

Splinter: I won this match.

Angel: Oh now I get it! All you were doing was having her let her guard down!

Splinter: That's right. The lesson here is to strike at the right time when your opponent let his or her guard down.

April: I see...

Ninetales: That would be for today's lesson. April O'Neil, may we see you alone?

April: Sure thing. (after everyone left) So what do you want to talk about?

Splinter: I would like to talk about your new form.

April: You mean my Kitsune form? Look, it happened once but that was because I was protecting Donnie. I don't know how to do it again.

Splinter: I see. This is what I had suspected.

April: You suspected?

Splinter: A few weeks ago, Donatello had showed me a picture of your ancestor using Mikoto's invention. (takes out picture) This is your great-great-great grandmother correct?

April: Yeah! Wait, my dad didn't told me my great-great-great grandmother was Japanese. And beside her is...

Splinter: A Kitsune. I have been thinking about this picture and it leaves me to one conclusion. You must be the reincarnated Kitsune from many decades ago. I know it's hard to believe but I can't think of any other possibilities as Kitsune are able to be reincarnated to a new life if they want to.

April: No way... That can't be true right?

Splinter: (shakes his head) It's all true.

April looks down in disbelief. She suddenly stands up.

April: I'm gonna get some fresh air. (runs off)

Splinter: April!

Ninetales: Maybe you shouldn't have told her that.

Splinter: But I can't keep this a secret from her forever. She must learn the truth.

Ninetales: Right...

#### Common Area

Moris: Hey April. Something wrong?

April: It's nothing.

Mutsumi: You sure? You look upset.

April: No I don't! Please don't worry. I'm okay. (walks away)

Jonah: Hey Donnie. Could you go after April? Something's definitely wrong and you are her childhood friend so she should be able to tell you.

Donnie: Okay. Kokonoe, Litchi, could you two explain to them?

Luffy: Explain about what?!

Kokonoe: About the Kraang's plans.

Celestia: Explain.

Litchi: The Kraang have put a small amount of a certain chemical into the New York City's water supply which is extremely dangerous.

Angelina: It was all recorded here in the Kraang storage device.

Luffy: So we're heading at the seas right?!

Rachael A.: Looks like it. But (summons portal) the Kraang base is at underwater. We need a submarine to get there.

Kokonoe: Not to worry! We were working on a submarine to build!

#### Water Room

Miu: That's the sub?! What a total piece of shit! It's not even big enough for everyone to even fucking fit!

Luffy: Don't worry! We can use Sunny since it can act like a submarine thanks to Franky!

Richard: I'm not gonna go into that!

Kokonoe: You don't have much of a choice! You wanna have the whole water supply to be tampered by the Kraang or not?!

Richard: Yes ma'am...

Weiss: Let's get Sunny and start going! Time's a-wasting!

However, it runs primarily on kinetic energy, which means that the Turtles have to constantly supply it by pedaling on stationery bikes (until both of the engines are totally charged).

Mao Yin: We got it!

Kai: Now we can start moving!

The rest were on the Thousand Sunny.

Levy: Wow...

Happy: So many fish! Which one should I eat first?!

Ms. Fortune: I'm gonna take the biggest one out of the entire group!

Happy: Aye!

Carla: This is no time for thinking about eating fish! We must head to that base immediately or everyone of New York get turned into Mutants!

Kokichi: Nothing to worry, Carla. We'll get there. You just gotta relaxed for a few.

Carla: I can't just relax! This is very serious. We must take this mission seriously or else.

Kokichi: I understand completely. Nee-hee-hee.

(exploration mode: Explore the seas as you head to the undersea Kraang base)

As they begin to approach the Kraang's secret base, they encounter a large creature.

Mao Yin: What is that?!

Pimiko: It seems to be from Dimension X.

Zolo: It's huge.

Luffy: That would be perfect for eating! Hope it taste delicious!

Panther Lily: We don't have for this.

Gundham: Let me handle this.

Fluttershy: Hold on, Gundham. Maybe I should handle this. (flies up) Hello, Mr. Monster. Um... I would like to ask you nicely if you could please move. We need to get to that base immediately and we don't have time to play with you. So...

[ROARING]

Gundham: The beast has spoken! It says, "I can't let you do that. Especially if the turtle's going too."

Wendy: Now what should we do about this?

Carla: I don't know but we must hurry to the base!

???: Hey you! These people need to get going!

???: If you don't go then we have to fight you! Now get!

Levy: That voice...

Luffy: (gasps) Jinbe!

Vivi: One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? No way!

Luffy: Jinbe, it's me! Luffy! Over here! So glad to see you again, buddy!

Gajeel: You too, Juvia. Can't believe you're here.

Juvia: Thanks! We have been searching for you! Glad to see you're all sae and sound. But where's Gray-sama? (find him) Gray-sama! It's me, Juvia Lockser! Come out of hiding so I can hug you!

Gray: Crap...

Juvia jumps into the ship and immediately hugs Gray much to his dismay.

Juvia: Juvia thought I would never see my beloved Gray-sama ever again!

Jinbe: Juvia, this is no time for reunions! What are you doing here underwater?

Luffy: Oh yeah! We're heading to the Kraang base underwater so we can prevent them from... from... Hm... What was it again?

Panther Lily: You already forgot?! We're supposed to stop the Kraang from putting Mutagen into the water supply thus turning everyone in the city into Mutants!

Luffy: Oh! Thanks for reminding me! That's what we were supposed to do! (chuckles with he's smiling widely)

Jinbe: I see. Then let us help you with that. (whistles)

They all look as they saw a shark.

Zolo: That shark...

Shirahoshi: Luffy-san. It has been a long time, hasn't it?

Luffy: Hey Shira! How have you've been?!

Shiraboshi: Good. (chuckles) And it seems you have a lot of humans with you.

Happy: That's one big fish!

Carla: No idiot! It's a mermaid! Half-human half-fish!

Happy: So cool~!

Ms. Fortune: Wow, I never thought we would see a mermaid!

Levy: Fascinating...

Miu: No fucking way! I must be dreaming or something!

Camie: Nope you aren't! I'm here too along with Megalo!

Luffy: Awesome! The gang's all here!

Gray: This is crazy.

Perona: Oh great!

Akane: Awesome! So how do we get in?!

Jinbe: Follow us and we'll show you.

Luffy: Okay! Follow Jinbe, everyone!

Everyone: Hai!

Josephine: I wish Donnie and April would've seen this.

Jonah: I know. It's crazy that we actually get to meet mermaids.

Leafeon: Right.

### Surface

#### Mr. Murakami's Noodle Shop

Gabb: Found her!

Donnie (Human Form): (goes inside) There you are! I was getting worried I won't find you.

April: What are you doing here?

Donnie: Jonah told me to come after you. Is there something wrong?

April: I already told you. It's nothing. I'm perfectly okay. (Mr. Murakami serves her Pizza Gyoza) Thanks, Murakami-san.

Donnie: Let me eat with you. (sits down besides her and take a pair of chopsticks) April, you can tell me. We're best friends and best friends always tell each other our problems. Now come on.

Gabb: Yeah April! Come on! I wanna hear every last detail!

Kaii: Gabb!

Gabb: What?! I have to be nosy! I'm a villain Kwami. Remember?

Kaii: I am very aware of that but April's being sensitive so you should be one too. You don't seem to understand the concept of being sensitive towards others don't you?

Gabb: Nope. Not at all. (chuckles mischievously)

Kaii: (sighs)

Rockruff: April...

Espeon: Please take your time. We don't wanna rush you or anything.

April: Well, I had...

[BELL DING]

Together: Huh?

Donnie: Karai?! Kyle?!

April: Eh?

Karai: Donatello? You look... different.

Donnie: (growling) What do you want?!

Karai: Can't believe you can recognize me without my uniform on. And if you want to know, April O'Neil is coming with us peacefully.

Donnie: Why do you need her for?!

Kyle: None of your business. Now come with us or we'll have to use some force.

April: Sorry but I don't want to come with you!

Karai: Alright then. Looks like we're gonna have to do this the hard way.

Donnie: Hold on, April! (throws down smoke bomb and turns invisible) As long as someone touch me, we can stay invisible as long as we want.

April: Right. Rocky, Sputnik, let's go!

Rockruff: (barks)

Espeon: And fast!

Karai and Kyle coughs as the smoke clears to see them gone.

Karai: Damn, they got away.

Kyle: Not for long. Let's look for them.

Karai: Okay.

April: Drake! Chespin!

Drake: Hey April, Donnie. What's the rush?

Donnie: Sorry but we are being chased and we could use your bike!

Drake: I don't know, man... I need it for the last two deliveries.

April: We'll be right back with it! I promise! Now just let us use it so we can get away from Karai and Kyle! (drives away)

Bitty: This looks serious, Drake! We should transform into Wild Dog!

Drake: You're right. (hides in an alleyway) Bitty, get wild! (transforms) I'm coming, you guys! (starts running)

Donnie (Fox Form): April, we got some trouble!

April: You gotta be kidding me. She has a motorcycle?

Donnie: Listen, we have to find a way to get rid of them. They won't stop until they captured you.

April: And how are we gonna do that?

Donnie: I got a plan.

### Turtles

Celestia: Hm? Everyone, I found something.

???: Huh? Looks like we have some lesser minks.

Luffy: Wait a minute. Wanda! Hey Wanda!

Wanda: Luffy! What are you doing here?!

Carrot: Don't forget about me, Luffy! Get us outta here! We've been captured!

Celestia: Captured by the Kraang?

Wanda: Yes. Please let us out.

Luffy: Okay! Stand back cause this one's a big one! Gum-Gum Pistol! (smashes cage)

Wanda: Thank you. (licks his face)

Luffy: No problem! (chuckles)

They then hide behind a barrier.

Leo: Okay team. I could sense a large horde of Kraang. We're gonna charge in and attack each and every one of them.

Raph: That's more like it! Just action no plans!

Kokonoe: (shushes) On a count of three. One... Two... Three!

(boss battle: Defeat the large horde of Kraang)

Vaporeon: Huh? Hey, one's escaping!

Flareon: Let's go after that one!

Jolteon: Okay! (chases after Kraangdroid)

Flareon: Come back here!

Vaporeon: You're not going anywhere!

### April and Donnie

April and Donnie were badly beaten up in an alleyway.

Karai: Hmph. I knew you were just a wannabe kunoichi. You'll never get on my level.

Donnie: That's not true! (grunts as Kyle presses his back)

Kyle: And what make you say she will?

Donnie: April has something that none of you have; compassion. You two always believe that power will get you places. Not April. She is loyal and always determine to do what's right.

April: Donnie...

Kyle kicks him on the side of his stomach which makes him scream.

April: Donnie!

Karai: Now you're coming with me.

April: No... No... (eyes changed to golden) No~! (echoes as she glows brightly)

Karai: What?!

Kyle: Huh?!

Donnie: There's the form I've been waiting for...

Rockruff: Now you guys are trouble!

Espeon: There's another thing you guys didn't know about April.

April: (roars) I have told you already I'm not coming with you. How many times did I have to tell you?! Now I'm gonna shred you to pieces! (eyes turn red)

Karai: A Kitsune?! That's impossible!

Kyle: I never thought those could possibly exist. She is a reincarnated one!

April: Now you're gonna pay for this! (throws fireballs)

Karai and Kyle dodges the attack.

Karai: We have to get outta here.

Kyle: Yeah. I won't fight a Kitsune. They're too powerful!

They quickly left and April pants heavily. However, tears were coming down from her cheeks.

April: (sobbing) I hate myself... I can't believe I'm a reincarnation of a Kitsune. (sobs) I'm just a monster who can't control my feelings.

Donnie: April... (struggles to sit up)

April: Stay away from me! I'm a monster! You shouldn't be near me! (sobbing)

But he instead hugs her from behind much of her surprise.

Donnie: You aren't a monster.

April: Huh?

Donnie: April, you shouldn't hate yourself. I can understand how you feel. To me, I also hate being a Mutant because I can't be with you on the surface. Even with this form I just hate being a Mutant. But you changed me. Ever since that day as children, you always see me as a person instead of a freak. Now let's head back to the Lair. I bet everyone is there.

April: I would but... (passes out)

Donnie: April! April, you okay?! Answer me! April~!

### Lair

#### Common Area

April wakes up to find she was in Donnie's lab all bandaged up.

Litchi: Ah you're awake. That's good news.

April: Litchi? Where's Donnie?

Litchi: Resting as well. You two sure had a hard time with Karai and Kyle. I'm just glad you made it out alive.

April: Yeah... Now the Foot are chasing after me... What can I do?

Splinter walks in.

Splinter: You should remain here for now until this is all over.

April: What? No! I can't do that! I won't be able to see my friends or go to school or even see my aunt! She sometimes check on to see if I'm okay.

Splinter: I know this is hard but please do not worry.

Litchi: We'll find a way to destroy the Kraang and Shredder so you can have a normal life along with your father.

April: I know that. I'm gonna do whatever it takes to save my dad. No mater what.

Litchi: Right.
