Plan 10.

Eleanor's POV.

The boys and I hid in the upper levels of the warehouse. Thanks to the decryption of the Kraang Communication Orb, we found that the Kraang were planning their next move with a new form of technology. Something they called 'Plan 10'.

Much to Raph and Donnie's disagreement, Leo insisted that I'd tag along. So, something like Karai's rescue and getting duped by a bomb wouldn't happen again.

"Kraang, prepare the plan, which is called Plan 10, the switching of Kraang mind with lesser human mind." The disguised Kraang instructed.

"Kraang will switch minds with Earth leaders, who will mutate Earth for Kraang." A blue-armored Kraang answered, as it displayed the world map.

"Then all that remains is for Kraang plan, known as Plan 10, to be tested." The disguised Kraang summarised, then instructed, "Bring in Test Subject X."

Two armored Kraang nodded and walked out of the warehouse. Raph drew his sais, ready to attack now.

Leo noticed and told him, "Not until we know what they're up to."

"Does it matter?" Raph asked in a sarcastic tone, "They're not baking cookies."

The thought came to Mikey and he shuddered, "Ew, what would Kraang cookies taste like? Chocolate chips and brains?"

Donnie quickly put his hand over Mikey's mouth and alerted, "Quiet. Here they come."

The two Kraang returned, dragging a middle-aged man, dressed in what looked like a French mail man outfit. This can't be good.

"Take it easy, guys! This has gotta be a bad dream." The man pleaded to the droids, "You're not gonna probe me, right? I'll do anything, but just no probing."

The machine was activated and rose to reach just below where the boys and I were hiding.

"That's too big to be a probe, right?" Mikey asked.

The Kraangdroids bound the man to a table.

"The Kraang neuroswitcher will switch test subject's mind with, that which is called, a pigeon." The disguised Kraangdroid explained, as other droids stapped an innocent pigeon on another table.

"Uh, I think I'd prefer the probing." The man whimpered as he saw the bird.

The boys and I looked at Leo. Leo nodded, "Okay, now!"

We drew our weapons and dropped down to the ground level, taking out the droids along the way.

The Kraangdroids noticed us and alerted, "Turtles!"

A droid activated the machine and it started zapping the man and the pigeon.

The boys and I fought off the droids. Raph rescued the man and got him away from the machine.

"Hey, mister? You okay?" He asked.

The man looked at Raph and started cooing and acting like... A pigeon? Okay, that machine works fast.

"You gotta be kidding me!" Raph exclaimed.

The man continued to flap his arms in the air and coo. On the other side, the pigeon regained consciousness and spoke.

"Ugh, why do I have the urge to eat bread crumbs and poop on statues?" He asked. He looked at his wings and exclaimed in fear, "No! No!"

"Kraang test, successfully tested." The disguised Kraangdroid concluded with a smile in its tone. Then it instructed, "Kraang, exterminate Turtles for Kraang."

More Kraangdroids showed us and fired their blasters at us.

"Dude, it's too freaky! That guy's got the brain of a pigeon!" Mikey shouted, as he dodge the pink laser-fire.

"Which still makes him a lot smarter than you!" Raph shouted back.

Leo blocked some of the laser-fire that flew toward the man, "Don't let him get hurt. Take those Kraang down fast."

With that, the boys and I started taking out the Kraangdroids with our speed and force. I had to use my psychokinesis every now and again, my body was having trouble keeping up.

"Get me out of here!" The pigeon shouted.

Mikey broken the restraints and grabbed the pigeon, "I'll save you, Mr. Peepers!" He retreated next to Raph and Donnie and noticed the man was very close-by. He handed the pigeon to him, "Dude, get a hold of yourself, man."

The man nodded and took hold of the pigeon.

Donnie looked at Mikey, "Did you really just say that?"

Raph dashed toward the control panel of the machine and the disguised Kraang pinned him against one of the panels, "The Turtles cannot win against the Kraang."

Raph reversed the pin and jumped to the other panel, "Tell it to the ground."

He kicked the Kraang into the panel and the machine started spinning out of control. Mikey and Donnie jumped out of the way and the rays hit the man and pigeon. Both of them fell to the ground, but the man screamed instead of cooing. Good, back to normal.

"We got reverse brain switch!" Donnie informed us.

Leo took down another droid, then shouted to Raph, "Raph, we're good to go."

"I'm busy here!" Raph replied as he and the disguised Kraang continued to fight.

He cornered the Kraang and aimed to stab it in the head, however the Kraang moved and Raph stabbed what I believe was the power conduit. The conduit sparked and the machine started twitching out of control.

I noticed and dashed toward Raph and the Kraang, "Raph, look out!"

Raph, the Kraang and I were caught in the blast of the machine and knocked back by the aftershock.

Leonardo's POV.

Raph, the Kraang and Ellie got caught by the machine's blast and were knocked back. That's not good.

"Raph and Ellie are down! Grab the pigeon and the man!" I told Donnie and Raph, while I ran over to pick Raph over my shoulders, "Raph, why didn't you listen?"

Donnie helped Ellie to her feet and put her arm over his shoulder, "Easy does it, Ellie."

Mikey picked up the pigeon, "Come on, Mr. Peepers." And we made our way back to the Shell-Raiser.

Donatello's POV.

We dropped the man and pigeon off on the side of a random street, to make sure it felt like a dream to them, then drove off to make our way back to the Lair.

Leo looked behind and asked, "How are Raph and Ellie doing?"

"Just gotta wake them up." Mikey replied, slapping Raph across the face, "Rise and shine, buddy."

I quickly grabbed his hand, "That's not working, Mikey. Try something else."

Mikey thought for a second, "Let's see, how do I usually wake him up?" Then he smiled, "I got it!" Mikey got his shuko-claws and started scratching Raph's shell, "Tickle, tickle, tickle. Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle." Then he scratched Raph's feet, "Wake up, dude."

Raph sat up with a deadpan face and laughed. He sounded like he had a frog in his throat.

Mikey smiled and cheered, "Yeah, boy! Whoo! I'm glad you're back, Raph." He looked at me and raised his hand, "High-Three."

I put my hands on my hips and gave him a look. Mikey looked at his hand and remembered the shuko-claw. He put his hands behind his shell and gave me a sheepish smile.

Raph got back to his feet and looked around, "Turtles here?" Then he looked at Mikey, grabbing him violently, "Where is the location of the Kraang where this Kraang is located?"

"You're with us, dude, in the Shell-Raiser." Mikey answered.

Raph just stared at him.

Mikey chuckled, "Nice Kraang impersonation."

Then Raph started throwing Mikey into the door. "You're welcome." Mikey managed to utter between hits.

Something's wrong. I quickly grabbed Raph away from Mikey and asked, "Raph, what are you doing?"

Leo looked back and asked, "What's going on back there?"

"Turtles. Kraang must destroy." Raph shouted, then punched me into the weapons station, "Kraang will eliminate all."

I recovered and alerted, "It's Raph." Raph drew a sai and continued to attack me, "He must've been brain switched with a Kraang."

Raph elbowed my with enough force to throw me into the back of the Shell-Raiser. He threw the sai at Leo. Luckily, Leo ducked and the sai missed.

However, Leo looked at the monitors and grimaced, "Oh no!"

He narrowly dodged a cab, but he lost grip of the road and the Shell-Raiser crashed into a bunch of cars.

Leo recovered from the crash and asked, "Guys? You okay?"

Mikey stired awake, "Ugh, I just had the weirdest dream. Raph was-"

"A Kraang." I spoke up, "Not a dream, Mikey."

My brothers and I exit the Shell-Raiser and noticed Raph was nowhere to be seen. He must have escaped during or just before the crash.

"He's gone." Leo concluded, "And there's no telling where our Raph is."

Suddenly, there was the sound of stiring. We looked back into the Shell-Raiser and saw Ellie was waking up.

"Ugh. My head. Why does my side feel like it's on fire?" Ellie asked, as she sat up and put her hand over her bandages. Her voice sounded like...

"Raph?" Leo recognised.

If a Kraang's brain is inside Raph's body, and Raph's brain is inside Ellie's. Then that means...

"Oh no..."

*Meanwhile, Classified Location...*

Eleanor's POV.

I finally got the feeling back to my body, as I regained consciousness. Last thing I remember was me, Raph and a Kraang getting caught in an explosion from what the Kraang called a Neural Transmitter. After that was complete black-out.

"Kraang, transport Kraang to med bay for vitamin infusion." A familiar Kraang voice spoke.

I opened my eyes to see a very familiar ceiling, "Where am I?"

An un-armored Kraangdroid looked over to me, "Kraang has been damaged, Kraang."

"Kraang?" I repeated, sitting up, "Who are you calling 'Kraang'?"

I looked at my hands and noticed they had five fingers, Caucasian and human. I was wearing a suit, the same one the disguised Kraang wear.

Realization hit me like a comet. The Neural Transmitter. Raph, the Kraang and I... "Oh no."

The Kraangdroid in front of me turned to look at me, "Kraang has been damaged. Kraang is acting strange."

Okay, calm down and think Ellie. How does a Kraang usually act in normal social interaction? Duh! Same as they do when they attack us; Deadpan speech and expression.

I took a deep breath to calm myself and cleared my throat. I looked at the Kraangdroid with a deadpan look and answered in a gruff and deadpan tone, "Negatory. Kraang was feeling disoriented from the blast, of the blast of the Neural Transmitter." I moved off the hammock, the Kraang were carrying me on, "Kraang has duties, which are known as computer upgrades, to perform."

With that, I left the Kraang and journeyed down the hallway. I looked around the corridor. Why does this place look familiar? I don't mean that the boys and I have been through a lot of Kraang bases, but this one is definitely familiar.

I entered a large room with dark walls. A Kraangdroid walked past me, "Looking good, Kraang."

I saw a window and saw that it showed an underwater scenery. Oh no. I know that water scenery. I'm in the Technodrome.

"Why me of all people?"

*A Bit Later, back in The Lair...*

Casey Jone's POV.

It was quiet in the Lair this evening. Allie and the Turtles were up top on a mission to stop these little aliens called the Kraang. April was training with Splinter. Me? I was doing my own thing; Watching Super Robo Mecha Force and enjoying pizza.

Right now, the heroes were charging toward an enemy without thinking. The enemy blasted them back and laughed, "Dash Coolstar. Once again, your battle charge into battle has caused you great battle misfortune!"

"I told you we should wait, Dash." The guy in the green suit and glasses shouted.

The leader in blue slapped the glasses dude across the face, "Quiet, Blip. Your cowardice stifles me!" Then he pressed a switch on his bracelet and smiled at the enemy, "You don't know the information, Skelelord, that in our possession is a great cause of fear to you."

The enemy, Skelelord, turned as a shadow fell over him. The giant robot was right behind him. Skelelord yelped in fear, as the robot stepped on him and fired its rockets into the ground.

"This show's cool, but where are the subtitles?" I asked myself, then added, "I hate dubbed anime."

I heard April and Splinter exit the Dojo. Splinter spoke up, "Every day your skills improve, April, but you must remain patient."

"I could practice all day, Sensei." April answered.

With a few seconds of silence, April came and sat beside me. She was rubbing her arms and flexing her back, lightly moaning in pain. Guess Splinter's training is quite rigorous. Guess Ellie and the Turtles have been training for years and are used to it.

I finished a slice of pizza, cracked my knuckles and offered, "If you need a Shiatsu massage, 'Magic Fingers' is at your service."

April giggled and pushed my hands back, "Ew, more like 'Pizza Fingers'."

I looked at my fingers and noticed there was some cheese and sauce on them. I looked at April and tried to get what was left of the pizza off.

Then we heard a doorbell chime, which indicated the Turtles and Allie were back. April and I looked and saw Leo and Mikey carrying Raph, who was bound by Mikey's kusarigama and had a paper bag over his head. And Donnie had Allie over his shoulder. Allie wasn't looking so good.

I finished licking my fingers and chuckled, "Guess Raph really ticked you off this time."

"I'm right here, Casey." Ellie answered, with a good mimic of Raph's voice. She sounded just like him.

I smiled, "Wow, Allie. That's a very good Raph impression. You've been working on that?"

Ellie glared at me and shouted, "I am Raph, you dolt!"

I looked at Ellie and realised she was telling the truth. She doesn't glare like that. Raph does.

"What happened?" April asked.

"Long story, but Raph and Ellie got their brains switched with a Kraang." Leo answered, as he and Mikey sat Raph's body down.

Donnie lightly removed the paper bag and Raph's body shouted in a raspy and deadpan tone, "Release Kraang now, and Kraang will disintegrate you relatively quickly!" I'm guessing that's how Kraang talk.

I burst into laughter, "That is too funny." I continued to laugh until Splinter grabbed me by the ear.

"Leonardo, explain. Now!" Splinter told Leo.

Leo looked away in thought, "Um..."

*Meanwhile, in the Technodrome...*

Eleanor's POV.

This is just terrific. No, I mean it. I'm trapped in a Kraang body, inside the Technodrome, and no-one suspects a thing. I guess my espionage is getting better. Been a while, since Casey found out I was the hooded student 'Elijah'. Hehe. There's only two downsides to this; I don't have my powers and can't seem to find a way to contact the boys.

Anywho, I'm rambling a bit. I was wondering the hallways, trying to find an empty room to recollect myself, until I met a crowd of Kraangdroids walking toward me.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and put on a deadpan face. I met up with another disguised Kraangdroid and requested in my best interpretation of a Kraang, "Kraang. Kraang wishes to locate, that which is known as, the exit. Kraang has, that which is known as, assignment in the city, known as New York."

The Kraangdroid gave me a stare and answered, "Kraang is busy."

"Busy performing what duties?" I asked.

The droid gestured me to follow it. Down the corridor, a door opened to reveal a large room with a communication terminal and a familiar orb. A Kraang Communication Orb! Finally! Maybe I can use it to contact Donnie.

I entered the room and a screen showed a familiar Kraang in a familiar scenery. I lightly narrowed my eyes. Kraang Prime...

"All Kraang in Dimension X are mobilizing for the invasion, known as the Invasion of Earth." Kraang Prime reported to all the Kraang and myself.

Another invasion? Kraang Prime is making a Plan B? Geez, they never give up, do they?

Then Kraang Prime looked at me, "Kraang, how is Plan 10 progressing?" I looked around, to make sure it wasn't talking to me. However Prime shouted, "Kraang! I am addressing Kraang!"

Then all the Kraangdroids stared at me. Guess Prime was talking to me. I cleared my throat and returned to my Kraang impressions, "Kraang apologises, Glorious Leader. The plan, that is known as Plan 10, was successful."

Kraang Prime lightly smirked, then instructed, "Then let the switching of superior Kraang minds with inferior human leader minds begin!"

With that, the communications went back on stand-by. The other Kraangdroids left and I was finally alone. Time to make a very important call.

*Back at the Lair...*

Raphael's POV.

Leo explained the whole story to Master Splinter, of what happened to me and Ellie. The entire time, Sensei just listened and thought.

"And that's how we got Raph's body and Raph's mind in Ellie's body, but now we've gotta go back for her mind." Leo finished.

Leo, Donnie, April, Mikey and Casey were about to leave to find Ellie. I followed behind them, but the moment I took the first step, Ellie's body surged with intense pain and a burning sensation. I fell to my knees and gasped at the pain.

Ellie, why didn't you tell us you were in this much pain? We could've helped you.

I could've helped you.

April turned to me a proposed, "Raph, you should stay here. Obviously Ellie is in more pain than she lets on."

I nodded in agreement. Then Master Splinter spoke up, "Wait. Have patience."

I nodded again, "Master Splinter's right, Leo. It's my fault Ellie's with the Kraang. I was impatient and she payed the price."

I felt my gut turn with worry, but it was twice as strong and it made Ellie's scar burn. What the heck is that? Is this Ellie's empathy?

"You must not make the same mistake." Master Splinter finished.

"So, what are we supposed to do?" April asked.

Master Splinter thought for a second, then answered, "A solution will arise. You must wait and-"

He was cut off by the sound of a familiar humming. Everyone listened and Donnie alerted, "It's coming from the Lab."

Everyone dashed into the Lab and found Donnie's orb was ringing.

"It's the Kraang Communication Orb. It hasn't been active for months!" Donnie gasped.

He went to his computer and typed down a few codes. The computer opened a screen and revealed a disguised Kraangdroid's face. This one's colored flame was a light green. And it feels familiar.

"Donnie? It's me, Ellie. I'm inside the Technodrome." The Kraangdroid spoke up from the screen in a familiar voice.

Leo and Donnie looked at each other. The colored flame of the droid turned a lighter green. What the heck does that mean? Casey burst into laughter, and April elbowed him in the chest.

Mikey got suspicious, "Wait a minute. How do we know he's the real Ellie?" Then he asked, "What's the secret ninja password?"

I wanted to slap Mikey in across the head, but something told me it wasn't worth it. Mikey was just being cautious. My brothers can't see what I can. Wait, where did that thought come from?

The droid folded its arms and teased a smile, "Really, Mikey? Like I'm gonna tell you on a Kraang communcation interface."

Mikey smiled and nodded, "That's our Ellie alright."

Leo pushed Mikey back and asked, "Where are you? Are you hurt?"

Ellie lightly giggled and assured, "I'm fine, Leo." Then she looked at me, "Raph? What are you doing in my body?" Ellie raised her hand, "Wait, don't tell me. I already know." Then she asked, "You feeling alright? You're looking awfully pale."

Admittedly, I shook my head, "Not really. This body feels like it just got out of a volcano." Then I asked her, "How do you do it, Elle? This burning, the pains, the aches."

Ellie shrugged her shoulders with a small smile, "I guess I have a very high pain tolerance."

Donnie returned to typing on the computer, "Okay, her coordinates are coming up now."

Ellie's screen closed and the computer showed a map of New York and showed a blinking red dot in the deep side of the Husdon River.

Donnie looked at Leo, "Looks like we're going swimming."

*Inside the Technodrome...*

Eleanor's POV.

Donnie closed the communication. Now all I have to do is hang tight and wait.

A Kraangdroid's voice spoke up from behind me, "Who was Kraang talking to?"

I tensed up for a second, then returned to my Kraang impression. I turned and answered, "Kraang was talking to Kraang for updates on the building, that is known as, TCRI."

Another Kraangdroid entered the room, "Kraang did not report for vitamin infusion."

"Update reports have to be completed. Vitamin infusion must wait." I answered.

The Kraangdroids looked at each other, then at me. Oh, boy. I think I just blew my cover. Well, it was fun while it lasted.

"Kraang, you are ordered to exit the human construct and be analyzed." The Kraangdroid on the left told me.

"And if Kraang were to decline?" I asked.

"Then Kraang must take necessary action to protect Kraang." The Kraangdroid on the right answered, aiming a blaster at me.

You gotta be kidding me! Kraang kill each other due to simple behavior defects? Just as I wondered that, images flashed before me. But, they were so fast and random, I couldn't make sense of them. My head pounded in pain, and I feel to my knees, as the images stopped.

What the heck was that?

I looked up and saw the Kraangdroids were both aiming blasters at me, "Destroy the defective Kraang."

I let go of my Kraang impression and took a defensive stance. With ease, I was able to take out the droid on my right. However, the other one got lucky and shot me offline. My real body got out of the robot shell and I ran out of the room and away from the laser-fire.

I ran into an empty room and closed the door behind me. I heard the Kraangdroid march past the room and quiet. I sighed in relief and turned to realise the room was actually full of empty Kraangdroids. I braced myself, until I realised they were empty. An idea hit me and a smile crept on my face.

It just might work.

*Elsewhere in the Technodrome...*

Leonardo's POV.

Casey, April, Donnie, Mikey, Raph and I entered the Technodrome and started looking for Ellie. Of course, on our way to the Technodrome, the Turtle Sub encountered the Kraang Sea-Mutant. We were able to fight him off, thanks to Donnie's smarts and Raph being able to somehow use Ellie's elemental abilities.

I peeked through the end of the hall, as two droids just disappeared from view, "Clear."

Just as the rest of us entered the hall, an alarm sounded loudly.

"Um did we do that?" April asked.

A large group of Kraangdroids surrounded us.

"I'm gonna say 'Yes'." Donnie answered as we drew our weapons, ready to fight our way out.

"Enemies, known as The Turtles, you have been captured by the Kraang and will be destroyed." The droid in front of me informed us.

Then an armored droid shouted, "Negatory. Do not destroy the enemies, known as The Turtles." I raised a brow. I knew that voice anywhere.

The droid stepped foward. The un-armored droid turned to it, "Kraang must destroy the Turtles."

The armored droid shook its head, "By order of Kraang Prime, the enemies, known as The Turtles, must be transported to the Neural Transmitter. So inferior minds can be switched with Kraang superior minds."

With that, the other Kraangdroids left the hallway. The armored droid sighed in relief and turned to face us.

"Thank goodness I got to you guys before the Kraang did." The droid said with smile in its tone, "How did you get captured so easily?"

I smiled. The droid was Ellie. I walked up to her and handed her eskrima, "Coming to save you."

Of course, Mikey and Casey couldn't help themselves. They pushed past me and started poking Ellie.

"This is too awesome, Allie. You feel like chewing gum." Casey laughed as he poked her.

Mikey laughed along, "You're all pink and tentacley. It's just so wrong."

Mikey and Casey laughed and noticed Ellie hasn't moved. Once they finished laughing, Ellie folded her arms and asked, "Had your fun?"

Casey and Mikey stopped and nodded. I walked forward and gave Ellie her eskrima.

Ellie took the eskrima and smiled, "Well, it's time to make it right. Let's move."

*A Little Later...*

Eleanor's POV.

I escorted the boys, Casey and April to the room with the Neural Transmitter. Before we entered, I put one of my eskrima behind me and withdrew the other one.

The door opened and I told the disguised Kraang in front of me, "Stop the experiment. Kraang have new orders."

The disguised Kraang looked at me and the boys, "Turtles are not part of-"

Before it can finished, I used my eskrima to shock it offline, "You assume to much."

The boys, Casey and April drew their weapons and dashed into battle. Leo shouted, "Get 'em!"

The Kraangdroids fired their blasters at us. And the battle began. While taking out the Kraang, Raph shouted, "Don't hurt the machine!"

I 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. He noticed the controls and sighed, "Oh, sewer apples!"

The rest of us continued to fight the Kraang off. However, April was getting a little outnumbered, "A little help, Casey?"

"Duck!" Casey shouted at April, as he shot hockey pucks at the two droids that were going to attack her.

I was doing well against the Kraang. It kinda felt good being able to fight with feeling pain afterward. But, I also kinda miss it. Tells me I'm still alive.

I heard a blaster click behind me and turned. The Kraang in Raph's body was aiming a blaster at me. I could tell by the deadpan look on its face.

"Kraang." I greeted.

"One called Eleanor Hamato." It greeted.

Me and the Kraang dashed into battle with each other. At the corner of my eye, I noticed Donnie was having trouble with the controls of the machine.

"One of these things has gotta activate the targeting matrix." He muttered to himself.

Of course, Mikey being Mikey, he decided to press a few buttons, "This one? Ooh, or maybe this one?"

Donnie tackled him away from the controls, "Get out of there!" Suddenly, the machine started responding and spinning, "Okay."

"Hurry, Donnie! I really don't want to beat up such a good-looking turtle." I told the Techno-Turtle, as I kicked the Kraang onto Raph's shell.

Raph must've heard me, cause he turned and smiled at me.

Donnie returned to the Neural Transmitter and was able to get it working, "Ready, aim, fire!"

The machine fired rays at random directions, until they hit Casey and April. The machine finished the brain switch. Casey noticed what happened and started checking himself out with a chuckle, "Cool."

April sighed in disgust and lifted her mask, "Stop checking yourself out, Casey!" Then she turned to Donnie and instructed, "Donnie, switch us back right now!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Casey-" Donnie apologized, then recollected his words, "I mean April." He returned to the controls of the Neural Transmitter, "Working on it!"

The rays were on continuous fire this time, and the machine started aiming everywhere. The boys, April and Casey continued to take down the Kraang, along with avoiding the rays.

April noticed something and shouted, "Stop pinching your own butt, Casey."

Casey acted innocent, "I didn't do anything."

I was able to knock the Kraang back. I aimed to finish the job, but I stopped myself. I couldn't do it. It may be a Kraang's mind, but this is still Raph's body. Noticing my hesitation, the Kraang grabbed its blaster and shot my robot head off. The robot body fell limp and offline.

I jumped out of the robot body and the Kraang aimed its blaster at me.

"Prepare to be exterminated." The Kraang told me.

Before it could fire its blaster at me, I felt something grab my mind and started pulling it away from my body. I closed my eyes and braced myself. Once the pain was gone, I opened my eyes and saw my hands were green, scaly and had three fingers with sports tape.

These were Raph's hands. Awesome! That means I can't hurt him anymore.

I smiled and shouted, "Way to go, Donnie!" The Kraang was about to scurry off, but I stopped it, "I don't think so, Kraang."

I picked up the Kraang and kicked it across the room. Suddenly, the feeling of my mind being pulled came back. I closed my eyes and waited for the pain to subside. Once the pain subsided, I opened my eyes and examined myself.

Four fingers. Three toes. Muzzle. Tail. Bandages. Burning pain coming from my torso. Yup, I was back in my own body.

The Neural Transmitter aimed for April and Casey and switched them back.

April smiled, as she looked herself over, "Finally."

Casey, on the other hand, sighed, "Aww, man. I kinda liked being a girl."

Raph, back in his body, joined the group and shouted, "I'm back, guys!"

Leo smiled, "Nice." Then turned to Donnie, "Donnie, sabotage that thing and let's go!"

Donnie drew his naginata and stabbed the blade into the power console, "Done and done."

The console sparked and saw did the machine. The boys, Casey, April and I escaped the Technodrome just in time before the machine exploded and damaged the Kraang sphere.

*Later, back in the Lair...*

With the Technodrome down and out for a bit, the boys, April, Casey and I were in the Lounge, enjoying the finale of an episode of SRMFF V.

The villain was defeating the heroes. He laughed, "Now is the time for when you have run out of time. Super Robo Mecha Force Five team 5!"

The villain robot fired a blast at the hero robot, but the hero dodged.

"Not yet, Skelelord!" The leader of the team shouted, then he instructed, "Engage Ultra Mega Punch!"

The robot reacted and defeated the villain.

While this, Donnie was jotting down ideas and plans, "Okay. Oh, this is good."

Raph just returned and smiled, "It's good to be back in the old red and green."

The rest of us just ignored it, he's been saying that since we got home.

Then Raph said, "And, uh guys. Thanks."

This surprised us, as we all looked at him.

"Did he just say-" Mikey was about to ask.

"I think he did." Leo answered.

Raph sat beside us, on his beanbag chair, and sighed, "I just wish we could've taken out the Technodrome."

I shook my head, "Not worth it, Raph." Then I informed, "However, I did catch a glimpse of the Kraang's new invasion plan. They've got thousands of soldiers ready to go."

Mikey started counting, but he lost track. Leo slapped Mikey's hand and looked at Uncle Splinter, "So how will we stop it, Sensei?"

Uncle Splinter stroked his beard in thought, then answered, "As I said before, a solution will arise in time."

Donnie continued with his jotting and sketching, "Okay. A little shading here." Then he laughed, "I've got it! We are gonna stop them with this."

He showed us a drawing of what looked like a giant mechanical turtle. Similar to Metalhead. Details and special features all around it.

We all looked at the design, and Mikey smiled, "Donnie, you are an even bigger genius than I am."

Raph shook his head and looked at me, "Ellie, may I speak with you in private?"

I looked at him and nodded, "Sure."

He took a gentle grip on my arm and lead me into the Dojo.

"What's wrong, Raph?" I asked, "Something tells me this isn't about sparring."

Raph shook his head, "No, it's not." Then he looked at me, "When my mind was in your body, I started to understand why you act the way you act."

I raised a brow at him. Where was he going with this?

"Why you stick up for the underdogs. Why, despite how badly hurt you get, you keep fighting." He continued, "You do all that stuff because you care. As Spike said, you have the heart of a warrior under that delicate facade."

I chuckled, "Delicate facade?" I lightly smiled at the Hot-Head, "Raph, I fight because my spirit tells me to. Even injured to near-crippled state." I placed my hand over my heart, "That's what that burning feeling is. It tells me to stand up, take a stance and fight. As long as I'm still breathing, the battle is far from over."
