Meanwhile, the Turtles and Casey are waiting inside the Shell-Raiser.
"This sucks!" Casey exclaimed with disappointment. "Why does that warrior insist on letting April come here by herself?!"
"On the bright side, Casey, she has Hitomi to accompany her," Donatello said with reassurance.
"It's not fair!" Michelangelo complained as he went outside and kicked a can.
"Well, that's 'girl's night out' for them," Raphael said with annoyance.
Suddenly, a group of Foot ninjas appeared on sight.
"Shall we?" Casey puts on his mask and readies his hockey stick.
The Turtles replied by pulling out their respective weapons and run to the villainous ninjas for the fight.
Inside the warehouse, April finds herself getting worn out during the fight against Exteria. She never thought there is someone out there who is far more stronger than her. Well, more stronger than Karai, that is. Hitomi is shocked on seeing the results.
"You're stronger than I expected," the redhead spoke while catching her breath.
"What's wrong? Aren't you supposed to be the most powerful woman in the world, April O'Neil?" Exteria taunted the girl.
"Shut up..."
"This is not good," Hitomi looks worried for her best friend getting beaten by someone that is quite more powerful than her.
"Your powers are just measly to me," Exteria stated with a smug tone as she pointed her sword towards April. "Here and now, I will kill you to prevent the tragedy that consumed the world."
Seriously? First Nemissa, and now this masked warrior? Why do these two want to kill April? Hitomi just can't help but watch the outcome.
"Time to die, Dark One!" the masked warrior is about to deliver the killing blow when...
Suddenly, she is covered with the electric force that is going to stop her at the moment.
"What the...?" April asked.
Her now white-haired best friend just couldn't make on what is going that caused her opponent to be stopped like this.
"Phenomena intervention? How dare you get in my way?! That darn demon!" Exteria has managed to resist the field and cut it down with her sword.
"What was that about?!" April demanded while her opponent is catching her breath.
"You nullified the effects of the intervention?! Impossible!" a voice asked with surprise. "April! APRIL! Get out of here, now!"
"Get out of my head! Who are you?!" the redhead demanded.
"Doesn't matter! I'm here to help you and your friend! Just get out of here!"
"Seriously, who are you?! I don't know what's going on here!"
"It's over," Exteria got up once again. "Your time is done, April O'Neil. The prince of the netherworld awaits your arrival."
She pulls out her big sword once again and it seemed she has murderous intent on the young girl who is not human, but a half-human, half-Kraang mutant.
"Guh..." April is in fear of the white blade that is going to thrust on her direction. Too bad Hitomi just can't bear to look at what is going to happen next. Her friend has fear for the sword that will be the end of her life. Every fiber of her being wants to run.
But...
April is not going to runaway now. She has done this a lot of times, so this time, she's not going to. In fact, she pulls out her fan again, ready to face the masked woman again.
"I didn't climb up to this point to runaway from you!" she exclaimed as her entire body is covered with pink aura. This is her super mode. "Now, let me show you my true power!"
"April..." Hitomi just couldn't believe what she is seeing.
The redhead charges to the masked warrior as their weapons clashed on each other continuously. Now they were matched with the former having showed her true power.
"Just as I thought. You're stronger than I expected," Exteria commented. "But that is not enough!"
Before she could send a wave of energy from her sword, she is suddenly kicked to the face and is thrown to the boxes.
April noticed that her now white-haired friend is the person who kicked Exteria.
"Hitomi..." she said.
"Go, April! Let me deal with her!" the now-white haired girl said.
"Right!"
As April went down to the basement inside the warrior, Exteria struggled to get up from the damage.
"Impossible. My power is far more greater than yours," she growled.
"Is that so? Then let me show you how strong I could get!" Hitomi runs towards her opponent for the attack. The latter tries to send a sword slash from upward, but the former dodged that and sent a two-legged kick on her chest. Once that is done, Hitomi jumps and does a roundhouse kick to knock her to the boxes afterwards.
"How strong are your legs are, Hitomi Tono?"
"I-," the girl is about to reply before she realized on the clue. "How did you know my name?"
"I just heard rumors about you, and to think you can fight. Not only that, but also the fact that you have Nemissa's appearance, yet your body is still yours. Impressive."
"A side-effect from April's power, that's how. Just why do you want to kill her?"
"Because she possesses a power that could bring chaos."
"You mean her power as a half-Kraang mutant?"
"That's right."
Exteria attempt to send a slash towards Hitomi, but the latter dodged that and brought a strong kick to the side. Then she jumps to do a kick to the chest once again. Now the masked warrior is in for a fight and she could not believe of being attacked by a girl who has strong kicks.
"Tell me, Hitomi. Why do you fight?" she asked.
"To protect my friends, that's why," Hitomi said.
"Hehehe," Exteria points her big sword at the girl's direction. "Let us see if your strong legs could beat me."
"I'm looking forward to it."
This is going to be a big fight for Hitomi, and she knows it.
