## Script

### Streets

April: (thinking) Me? A mutant? How's that possible? (looks at her hand) But I don't look like a mutant. I'm more human. (touches her head to reveal her fox ears) Though I can become a Kitsune because of my history... What should I do?

[BOOM]

Rockruff: Was that an explosion?!

April: We should check it out.

(exploration mode: Go to the source of the explosion)

[ROARING]

Police Officer: Is that a lion?!

Police Officer 2: Everyone, keep your guard up!

April: That's a lion. I have to transform.

But before she could do that, the lion charges after her.

April: Too late. I have to turn to my Kitsune Form! (transforms) Come at me, lion!

Tani: So you're a Fox Brute eh? I eat your species for dinner! (slashes)

April: (dodges) Well I'll show you what this Kitsune can do.

(boss battle: Defeat Yugo Tani (Leo))

April: (grunts in pain) Crap, he sliced the side of my stomach.

Tani: You're finished!

???: I don't think so. (punches him)

Tani: (growling) Uzaki Hitomi! I should've known you'll be here!

Uzaki: Well maybe you shouldn't pick on a Fox Brute, dumb-ass!

April: Whoa... (thinking) Is she a hybrid as well? I never seen anything like this before.

Eruza: You just go. We can handle this Leo Brute.

April: Brute? What is a Brute?

Ui: We are a group of humans that also have the appearance, powers and abilities of any animal we are engineered with.

April: I see... Well I'm not a Fox Brute. I'm actually a hybrid between a human, mutant, and Kitsune. I don't know why they would call me a Fox Brute.

Ui: I think it's because of your appearance.

April: Figures... But who are you people?

Ui: Ui Inaba. Those two are Eruza Nakanishi and Hitomi Uzaki.

April: I see. Well I want to help you guys. (grunts)

Eruza: You can't. You're too injured to fight.

April: Sorry but I won't be running from this fight. I can heal myself quite quickly so there's no need to worry.

Hitomi: I like your style. No point of changing your mind. Let's fight this overgrown kitty.

April: Right! Let's do this!

(boss battle: Defeat Leo as April, Hitomi, Eruza, and Ui)

Tani: (panting) You'll pay for this! (leaves)

Eruza: Nice moves...

April: Thanks. Been training by a certain someone... (looks up)

Hitomi: Look, we need a place to stay! I don't want to live in the streets!

April: Hm? Well you can stay at my place. I live where the antique shop is. I'm not using it right now so you can use it as long as you want. But please don't destroy my stuff!

Eruza: Promise! Wait, we didn't get your name...

April: April O'Neil. Call me April.

Ui: Very please to meet you, April!

April: Nice to meet all of you. But I think this isn't the best place to talk.

As the police have drawn their guns

Hitomi: Fine, we'll leave. Police officers aren't *that* tough. Believe me, I know.

As April throws down a smoke bomb and they all escape through the night.

### Lair

#### Donnie's Room

Bailey: Daniella? How is Casey?

Dani: Still not waking up.

Bailey: Well after receiving so many painful shocks his body must be in a state of impairment as he rest.

Dani: But will he ever wake up?

Bailey: We have to wait and see. For now, you should eat something. I won't let you stay here and let yourself starve as you look after him. I know how much you love him but you need to think about your health and well-being. You know that right?

Dani: I know... (sighs) But I just want him to wake up soon. I want to see his eyes opening. And for that reason, I can't leave him alone.

Bailey: I understand but...

Dani: I have to be with him. So I'm not hungry...

Bailey: Dan, you must eat. You can't starve yourself to death. Casey will wake up eventually. But you need to take care of your health and well-being.

Dani: Yeah... (tears forming) But what about Casey? What should I do?

Bailey: He'll be fine... Please don't worry about it.

Dani: Okay. I'll not worry too much.

Bailey smiles warmly.

Bailey: Good. Now let's get you something to eat.

Dani: Right.

### Donnie

He begins to call April via T-Phone.

Donnie: Hey April. How are you feeling?

April: A little better then yesterday... But I can't believe I'm actually a mutant. I never feel like I'm something else. This is so unbelievable.

Donnie: I was shocked as well. But don't worry. You may be a mutant but you're more human to me then everyone else would said.

April: (blushed) You mean that?

Donnie: I do. (blushes harshly) You know, um... you want to get some ice cream or something?

April: Love to. Let's do it tomorrow night.

Donnie: Understood.

He hung up.

Eruza: Was that your boyfriend or something?

April: Boyfriend?! Don't be ridiculous!

Hitomi: Are you sure? (smirks devilishly) Your face tells otherwise.

The three then begins to tackle April to the ground.

April: GET OFF OF ME~!!! (echoes)
