Summary: Rafaela accidentally damages a machine that forces her to swap minds with a Kraang gynoid.
The Lotus Ninjas hid in the upper levels of the warehouse. They looked down to watch the Kraang droids working a female humanoid robot called Project Eve. The robot has a muscular body with a slender, athletic build. She has fair skin, long vibrant neon pink hair, and piercing green eyes. She wore a black sleeveless tight-fitting jumpsuit with dark grey combat boots.
"What's the Kraang up to this time?" Lee asked.
"Does it even matter?" Ella scoffed. "It's always the world dominating same old same old."
"They should've got bored about their failing plans by now." Ellie said.
"Look, they're about to speak." Donna said in alert.
"Kraang, prepare the plan, which is called Project Eve. Kraang will use Plan 10 to switch of Kraang mind with strong mystic mind." One Kraang droid instructed.
"Kraang will switch minds with powerful mystics, who will help Kraang dominate the Earth." Another Kraang droid added.
"Plan 10 and Project Eve must be tested." The third Kraang droid said. "We must find a perfect test subject."
Ella, Ellie, and Donna looked at Lee for preparation.
"Okay, now!" Lee said with a nod.
The Lotus Ninjas dropped down to the ground and summoned their magic as they started taking out every Kraang droids at their sight.
"Lotus!" One Kraang droid shouted in alert.
As the Lotus Ninjas fought off the Kraang droids, more of the alien robots showed up and began firing their laser guns at the mystics.
"Kraang, activate neuroswitcher that will switch test subject's mind with Project Eve." The Kraang droid ordered.
The Kraang droid obeyed and started activating the machine on the control panel. But Ella noticed it and dashed toward the Kraang droid, but Eve zoomed right in front of her to stop the red mystic kunoichi.
"You Lotus cannot stop the Kraang's plan." Eve spoke with a stoic face.
"I'm gonna enjoy hearing your scream when I'm done with you." Ella snapped.
Ella and Eve began engaging into a fierce battle. The Kraang droid finished activated the machine and it started zapping around the warehouse. Lee, Ellie, and Donna jumped out of the way to avoid getting blasted. Without warning, the neon pink energy rays hit Ella and Eve. Both of them fell down to the ground unconsciously.
"Kraang test was successful." The Kraang droid announced to the other Kraang droids.
"Ella's down!" Lee shouted to Donna and Ellie. "Grab her and let's go!"
Ellie and Donna ran over to pick up Ella with their magic. Lee unleashed her ice magic to fire multiple icy arrows from her hands towards the Kraang droids at high speed. Her ice magic destroyed all of the alien robots and the machine in one small explosion.
The Lotus Ninjas made their way back to the Sonicruiser as a retreat, unaware that Ella and Eve have switched bodies from the Plan 10 machine.
Outside, Lee drove the Sonicruiser all the way back to the Crete Fortress.
"How's Ella doing back there?" Lee asked.
"Just trying to wake her up!" Ellie replied as she kept slapping Ella's face.
"That's not gonna working, Ellie." Donna said. "Try something else."
Ellie started tickling Ella's belly and feet with her magic, causing the red mystic kunoichi to sit up and laughed robotically with a deadpan face.
"Yay! I'm glad you're awake, Ella." Ellie cheered with a smile.
Ella cautiously got back to her feet and looked around the stations.
"Where am I?" Ella demanded as she placed her hands on Ellie's shoulders.
"In the Sonicruiser, duh." Ellie replied.
Suddenly, Lee parked the Sonicruiser in the dead-end alley and walked up to Donna's station.
Lee placed her left hand on Ella's chest and closed her eyes, concentrating on her magic to sense Ella's aura. But she immediately opened her eyes when she realized that Ella's aura wasn't really hers at all.
"It's not Ella!" Lee shouted in alert.
"So that means..." Ellie said with wide eyes.
"She must've been brain switched with Eve." Donna gasped.
"The Kraang will eliminate all of you once they completed their machine." Eve said with a sinister smile.
Eve summoned Ella's electric magic and began electrocuting the three mystics before exiting out of the Sonicruiser. Lee, Donna, and Ellie recovered from the sudden electric shock.
"Are you girls okay?" Lee asked.
"We're good." Ellie groaned with a thumb-up.
Lee, Donna, and Ellie noticed that Eve have escaped as they exited the Sonicruiser to look around the area.
"She's gone." Donna said.
"But if Eve's brain is inside Ella's body and Ella's brain is inside Eve's body, then where did the Kraang took our sister?" Ellie asked slowly.
"Oh no." Lee muttered.
Meanwhile, Ella slowly regained consciousness as she opened her eyes to see a familiar white ceiling.
"Where am I?" Ella asked with a groan.
"You have been damaged, Eve." The Kraang droid replied as it looked down to Ella. "Kraang will transport you to full repair."
"Eve?" Ella repeated as she immediately sat up. "I'm not Eve."
Ella looked down at her body and noticed her outfit was completely different just like Eve's. That's what she suddenly realized that the machine have switched her and Eve into each other's bodies, making her realize that she's inside Eve's body. That made her fall off the hammock that the Kraang droids were carrying her on.
"Are you kidding me?!" Ella gasped shockingly.
Five Kraang droids turned to look at Ella right in front of her.
"Eve has been damaged. Eve is acting strange." The second Kraang droid said.
"Negatory. Eve was feeling disoriented from the Lotus Ninjas." Ella said in a calm, deadpan tone as she quickly got up from the floor. "Now, Eve has duties, which are known as computer upgrades, to observe for the Kraang against our enemies."
With that, Ella journeyed down the hallway to look around the corridor. She then saw a window that showed an underwater scenery. She's inside the Technodrome, much to her shock and surprise.
"Oh Kraang." Ella murmured with a groan.
Back in the city, Eve was leaping from rooftop to rooftop until she landed down into a dead-end alley.
"This body will never direct me back to the Kraang facility." Eve demanded. She looked down at the body she's trapped in with a disappointed face. "I rather be back in my own body than this slim waste."
Suddenly, Eve heard loud noises coming from the trash cans. As she walked closer to the shadows with a cautious face, a long chain rope made of orange magic unexpectedly wrapped around the red mystic's body. Eve struggled to break free and the force from the chain rope brought her into the shadows with wide eyes.
In the Crete Fortress, Saldana was mediating peacefully inside the dojo. She then sensed her four daughters return to the fortress that made her exit the dojo to confront them in the living room. But she only saw Lee and Donna carried an unconscious Eve while Ellie was holding her magic chain that was bound to the red mystic's body.
"What happened?" Saldana asked.
"Ella got her brain switched with a Kraang android." Lee replied.
Lee and Donna sat Ella's body down as Ellie lightly removed the chain.
"Then, explain everything. Now!" Saldana said firmly.
Back in the Technodrome, Ella wondered around the hallways. She can't believe that she's trapped in a Kraang android inside the Technodrome. But on the bright side, no Kraang droids had suspect anything strange from her. She then saw a crowd of Kraang droids walking down the corridor and started following them from behind with a deadpan face to blend in. She and the other Kraang droids entered into an opening door that revealed a large blue machinery room with a communication terminal and a familiar white orb.
"Oh yes. The Kraang communication orb." Ella grinned. "Finally. Now, I can contact Donna to pinpoint the location to rescue me."
Ella then looked up to see Kraang Prime at the screen.
"All Kraang in Dimension X are mobilizing for the invasion known as the invasion of Earth." Kraang Prime reported. Then, he looked at one of the Kraang droids. "Kraang, how is Plan 10 progressing?"
Ella turned to the group of Kraang droids and noticed that one in a human business suit disguise was acting strange.
"Kraang! I'm addressing to Kraang!" Kraang Prime shouted.
All the Kraang droids and Ella stared at the strange Kraang droid.
"Kraang apologizes, glorious geader. The plan, that is known as Plan 10, was successful." The strange Kraang droid responded.
Ella's eyes widened wide as she immediately recoginized that familiar voice from the Kraang droid.
"Eve, have you been functioning fully?" Kraang Prime asked as he looked at Ella.
"I've been functioning perfectly, Kraang Prime. No damage occured." Ella answered.
"Then, let's the Plan 10 switching the superior Kraang minds to the inferior human and mystic minds begins!" Kraang Prime instructed.
With that, the communications went off. As the other Kraang droids left the room, Ella and the strange Kraang droid are finally alone as they immediately ran up to each other.
"Raph?" Ella gasped.
"Ella?" The strange Kraang droid said. "How do you get here?"
"I got my mind switch with a Kraang android." Ella replied.
"Yeah, no kidding. So do I." Raph chuckled slightly. "So can you help me?"
"Of course, Raph." Ella said. "Thanks to this body, I can get through the communication orb to contact your brother and my sister."
Back in the Crete Fortress, Lee had explained the whole story to Saldana.
"And that's how we got Ella's body and now we've gotta go back for her mind." Lee finished.
"Hm, I see." Saldana said calmly. "Rafaela's impatience have placed her in the den of the enemy. You three must not make the same mistake."
"So, what do we do?" Ellie asked.
"Wait for a patient solution to arise." Saldana responded.
Suddenly, the sound of the Kraang communication orb started ringing that caught everyone's attention.
"That was fast." Saldana said with a raised eyebrow.
"It's the Kraang communication orb!" Donna gasped in alert. "But it hasn't been active for months. Why now?"
As the family dashed into the lab, Donna sat on the chair and began typing down codes on her computer. The computer suddenly opened up a screen that revealed a Kraang android's face.
"Donna? It's me, Ella." Ella spoke quietly from the screen.
"Ella? Thank goodness." Ellie smiled. "But where are you?"
"You're not going to believe that, but I'm inside the Technodrome." Ella replied.
"The Technodrome? But how?" Lee gasped. "I thought we destroyed that thing."
"I thought that too." Ella said. "But don't worry. I'm not alone. I'm with Raph as we speak."
"Wait, Raph's with you?" Ellie asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, another long story. You have to come and get us out of here." Ella said.
"Okay, I'll pinpoint your coordinates right now." Donna said as she started typing keys on the computer. "In the meantime, just stay put and don't let the Kraang suspect you."
"Easier said than done." Ella remarked sarcastically.
After Ella's screen closed off, the computer pulled up a map of New York that showed a blinking red dot in the deep side of the Husdon River.
"Well, girls. We're going swimming." Donna commented to Lee and Ellie.
Back in the Technodrome, Raph finished contacting Donnie with the Kraang communication orb. But two Kraang entered inside the room behind them.
"Who were Kraang and Eve talking to?" One Kraang droid asked.
"Kraang and Eve were talking to Kraang for updates on the building, that is known as, TCRI." Raph answered in his Kraang impression voice.
"Kraang did not report for vitamin infusion." The second Kraang droid said.
"Update reports have to be completed. Vitamin infusion must wait." Raph answered.
The two Kraang droids looked at each other and then looked back at Raph and Ella.
"Kraang, you are ordered to exit the human construct and be analyzed." The first Kraang droid said to Raph.
"And if Kraang was to decline?" Ella asked.
"Then Kraang must take necessary action to protect Kraang." The other Kraang droid answered.
The two Kraang droids pulled out their laser guns and aimed them at Raph.
"Destroy the defective Kraang." One of the Kraang droids said.
As Raph took a defensive stance, he took down one Kraang droid with no problem. But the other Kraang droid shot one neon pink energy blast at Raph, causing the droid body to shut offline. Luckily, Raph got out of the robot body as a pink Kraang blob. Ella quickly delivered a swift kick that slammed the other Kraang droid hard to the wall, causing it to shut offline.
"Let's get out of here." Ella said.
Ella picked up Raph in her arms and ran out of the room. But suddenly, her boots had transformed into a pair of neon pink inline skate-like wheels.
"Okay, now that's new and wicked." Ella said with a small grin.
Ella skated through the hallways and sped into an empty room. She closed the door behind her as she and Raph sighed in relief.
"That was a close one." Raph said.
"That was a wierd one." Ella remarked.
Raph and Ella looked forward to find themselves in a room that was full of empty Kraang droids. Raph braced himself to attack, but Ella stopped him from doing so.
"Wait a minute, Raph." Ella said. "They're all empty."
Raph formed a smile on his face, giving him an idea to blend in with the other Kraang droids.
Meanwhile, the Lotus Ninjas made their way to the Technodrome without any problems. They entered the Technodrome and started looking for Ella while carrying Alsatia inside until they peeked through the end of the hall to check the area.
"The coast is clear." Lee said.
Just as three mystics entered the hall, an alarm sounded loudly in the hallway.
"What the heck? Who turn on the alarm?" Ellie asked.
A large group of Kraang droids started surrounding the mystics.
"That would be us." Donna answered.
Lee, Ellie, and Donna summoned their magic as they are ready to fight against the alien robots.
"Enemies known as the Lotus you have been captured by the Kraang will be captured." One Kraang droid informed the other Kraang droids.
"Negatory. Do not destroy the enemies, known as the Lotus."
The Kraang droids and the Lotus Ninjas turned to Eve, who stepped forward in front of the leader of the Kraang squad. But Lee, Ellie, and Donna recognized that voice as their sister Ella.
"Kraang must capture the Lotus." The Kraang droid declined.
"No. By order of Kraang Prime, the enemies, known as the Lotus, must be transported to the Neural Transmitter immediately." Ella said firmly.
With that, all of the Kraang droids left the hallway. Ella sighed in relief and turned to face her sisters.
"Thank goodness." Ella said with a smile. "What took you three so long?"
"At least, we're here and that's what matters." Lee smiled back as she walked up to her sister.
"You look awesome, Ella." Ellie beamed as she pushed past Lee and started staring at Eve's body. "Like a hardcore robot."
"And I still am. Let's move." Ella smiled.
Ella escorted her sisters to the room that has the Neural Transmitter inside. Before they entered the room, they encountered Raph and his team in chains.
"You ready?" Raph asked.
"Ready." Ella replied with a nod.
As the door opened, Raph and Ella walked inside the chained heroes. One Kraang droid stepped up in front of them, but Raph and Ella knew what to do.
"Stop the experiment. Kraang have new orders." Raph said.
The business suited Kraang droid looked at the Turtles and the Lotus Ninjas.
"Turtles and Lotus are not part of..." The Kraang droid said.
Ella summoned a pair of neon pink plasma claws from her hands to slash the Kraang droid offline.
"Now, let's bring out the fun part." Ella smirked.
The Turtles, Casey and April drew their weapons. The Lotus Ninjas summoned their magic. Both teams immediately dashed into battle.
"Get 'em!" Leo and Lee shouted.
The Kraang droids began firing their laser guns at the Turtles, the Lotus Ninjas, April, and Casey.
"Don't hurt the machine!" Raph shouted as he took down one Kraang droid and then turned to Donnie. "Donnie, you think you can get it working? The rest of us will keep the Kraang busy."
Donnie nodded and turned his attention to the machine, but he was unfamiliar by the control panel.
"Oh, sewer apples!" Donnie sighed. He turned to Donna. "Donna, I need some assistance here!"
"Go for it, Donna. We got you covered." Ella said as she slashed one Kraang droid's arms and kicked it away.
"Got it." Donna said with a nod.
Donna ran over to Donnie and stared at the control panel with a grin on her face.
"Not to worry, Donnie." Donna said as she cracked her knuckles hard. "Leave this to me."
Raph and Ella heard the clicking sound of a laser gun behind them. They turned to see the Kraang in Raph's body was aiming a laser gun at them and Eve in Ella's body was summoning electric magic from her hands.
"You two." Raph snarled.
"One called Raphael." Kraang said.
"And one called Rafaela." Eve said with a dangerous face.
"Come at us, freaks!" Ella cried.
Raph and Ella dashed into battle with Kraang and Eve. April, Casey, Leo, Lee, Mikey, and Ellie fought off against the rest of the Kraang droids. Donna was using her magic to work on the controls of the machine.
"One of these things has gotta activate the targeting matrix." Donnie said to Donna.
"Almost got it." Donna said.
Suddenly, the machine started activating functionally.
"Nice work, Donna." Donnie smiled. "I'll take it from here."
Donnie pressed buttons on the control screens of the Neural Transmitter while Donna used her metal magic to attack each Kraang droid coming in their path. The machine started firing neon pink energy rays aall the place until it hit Casey and Apri, causing them to switch bodies. Casey found himself in April's body and started checking himself out.
"Cool." Casey chuckled.
"Stop checking yourself out, Casey!" April scolded in disgust as she lifted her mask and then turned to Donnie. "Donnie, switch us back right now!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, Casey..." Donnie apologized. "I mean April."
"Wow. That was unexpected." Donna said with wide eyes.
Raph was able to knock the Kraang back and aimed the laser gun to finish him off, but he couldn't do it because he doesn't want to harm his own body. That gave the Kraang the opportunity to grab its laser gun and shot Raph's robot head, causing the robot body to fall down offline. Ella executed a barrage of lightning quick slashes and delivered a downward double hammerfist punch at Eve, slamming her hard to the ground. But she turned around to see Raph jump out of the robot body. Before Ella can help Raph, Eve got back up and dashed forward to unleash a series of rapid punches at Ella. The red mystic kunoichi went flying straight in the air and landed next to Raph on the ground. The Kraang aimed its laser gun at Raph and Eve aimed her electric magic at Ella.
"Prepare to be exterminated." The Kraang and Eve said together.
Before the Kraang and Eve could finish Raph and Ella off, the machine started aiming neon pink energy rays everywhere. The Turtles, the Lotus Ninjas, April, and Casey continued to take down the Kraang while avoiding the energy rays at the same time. The energy rays then hit Raph and the Kraang, causing them to close their eyes and switched back to their original bodies. After that was done, the energy rays hit Ella and Eve that made them close their eyes as they switched back into their original bodies. Raph and Ella slowly opened my eyes to find themselves back in their original bodies at last.
"Way to go, Donnie!" Raph shouted with a smile.
"You're awesome, D!" Ella grinned.
Raph and Ella looked back to watch the Kraang was about to scurry away.
"I don't think so, Kraang." Raph said as he stopped the Kraang from escaping.
Raph picked up the Kraang and kicked it across the room. Ella then noticed Eve was aiming her laser cannons at Raph.
"Don't even think about it, Eve." Ella said.
Ella created a lightning ball between her hands and shot it to eletrocute Eve, causing her to shut down offline on the ground. Raph and Ella then pulled each other into a tight hug after they got their own bodies back. But they were staring at each other with blank looks and turned away with pink blushes on their faces.
Then, the neon pink energy rays aimed for April and Casey, switching them back to their original bodies.
"Finally." April smiled as she looked at her body.
"Aww, man. I kinda liked being a girl." Casey sighed sadly.
"We're back, guys!" Raph shouted as he and Ella joined their teams.
"Let's smoke this joint." Ella grinned.
"Donnie, sabotage that thing and let's go!" Leo smiled to Donnie.
"Done and done." Donnie said.
Donnie stabbed his bo staff blade into the power console, causing the machine to malfunction.
"Donna, get us out of here!" Lee said to Donna.
"Thought you never ask!" Donna smiled.
Donna moved her index finger in a circle and pointed her magic to create a swirly purple portal. The Turles, the Lotus Ninjas, April, and Casey escaped the Technodrome just in time before the machine exploded and damaged the Kraang mothership.
Back in the Crete Fortress, the Lotus Ninjas were relaxing in the living room. Lee and Ellie watched an episode of Ace Crown while Donna was jotting future ideas on her dark purple sketchbook. They turned around to see Ella walking in the living room.
"Hey, thanks for saving me." Ella said with a smile. She sat on the couch next to Donna, who was still sketching with concentration. "It's not worth taken out the Technodrome by myself, but I did caught a glimpse of the Kraang's new invasion plan. They've got thousands of soldiers ready to go."
"So, how do we stop this, mother?" Lee asked as she looked to see Saldana walking in the living room.
"Like I've said before, a solution will arise in time." Saldana answered wisely.
Donna finished the final sketching with a proud grin.
"I know the perfect idea to stop the invasion!" Donna announced. "With these exosuits!"
Donna showed her mother and her sisters a complex sketch of a ferocious exosuit.
"Donna, you're the genius of all possibilities." Ellie smiled.
