"Woohoo!"

"Oh yeah!"

The hamato clan was jumping from rooftop to rooftop. Jude was having the time of her life, free running was her favorite thing to do and she finally wanted to show up the turtles. April on the other side was struggling to keep up.

"C'mon April, this is just the warm up!" Mikey exclaimed. They stopped running and gathered around April.

"The warm up?!" April questioned. "For two hours?"

Leo grinned and said gleefully, "That's what ninjas do! Trainings sometimes last four, five hours at a time! Awesome right?"

Judging by April's face, Jude could tell that she did not think it was awesome.

"Are you kidding? I'm gonna puke. What about a real mission?" She asked.

"It took 15 years of training before master splinter let us go on a real mission." Raph explained."You got a long way to go sister."

"Maybe we should take her on more missions Leo." Donnie suggested.

Michelangelo said, "And Jude too! The best training they can have is hanging with the ninjas!"

"Uh-uh no way, it's too dangerous." Leo explained. Jude rolled her eyes and was surprised to hear Raph agree with Leo.

"What if something happened to them?"

April clutched her head in pain and exclaimed, "Ow! My head!"

When the pain stopped she glanced around, "Guys I think someone's watching us, right over there!"

She pointed to a figure in the distance. "Get him!"

The guy ran off but the ninja team followed him discreetly. Sneaking into the apartment he went into, they waited. Inside there were a ton of pictures of them. All of them even April and Jude, there were also pictures of the Kraang.

"What's with all the creeptastic pictures?" April commented.

Leo saw a newspaper clipping with a picture of Jude in a hospital bed. The title read, Daughter attacked by Father! Discreetly he snagged the article and hid it away for later.

Raphael dragged the man responsible out from behind the door and held his sai up to his neck. The man was older, wearing a brown suit and a hat, "Don't hurt me, I'm a friend!"

"Stalker's more like it." Raphael snarled.

"After all these months, finally face-to-face with the talking ninja turtle, Jude Mcman and April O'neil herself." He awed and tried to approach April.

Leo jumped in front of him and yelled, "You better start talking pal! What's with the photos? Who are you?"

"The name's Kurtzman. I was a journalist on the case of the missing scientist last year, and then I discovered something much bigger. The Kraang."

He explained the history of the Kraang and how they existed for thousands of years. Kurtzman held up a picture of April as a baby, "Your mother was taken by the Kraang before you were born. Then she was experimented on."

"My mom?"

"That's why you're so special April. Your DNA can perfect the mutagen in this dimension." He explained.

Kraang burst through the room and Kurtzman yelled, "They found me! I don't know how but they found me!"

They began shooting in the room while the ninjas attacked them back. Jude stayed back with Kurtzman, protecting him from laser blasts.

"Retreat!" Donnie exclaimed as more Kraang droids entered the room. They tried to pull Kurtzman along but he struggled, claiming he must have his notebook. The lasers backed him up out the window, but Michelangelo caught him before he hit the ground. The rest of the ninjas jumped out the window and ran down the alley.

A truck blocked the exit and opened up, revealing a new kraang machine with lasers.

Dodging the lasers as much as possible they attacked the kraang. Jude was hit in the shoulder by a laser, burning the skin. She grimaced and ground her teeth, Master Splinter's right. There are just some hits I shouldn't take.

They ran into a different alley and found the shell raiser. With everyone inside, they ran over the kraang machine.

"Here's the plan, you infiltrate TCRI, then wipe out all the data the kraang have on April's DNA." Kurtzman began.

"Infiltrate TCRI?" April asked. "I thought you guys blew that place up?"

It turned out the Kraang were great at fixing buildings, because TCRI was back to normal.

Leo whispered, "We break in, erase April's DNA codes and get out. Infiltration only."

"Let's do this." Said April.

"Great you, Kurtzman and Jude stay outside on lookout. April, can you tie up Jude's wound?"

April bristled as she worked and Kurtzman agreed. Jude expected this to happen and just crossed her arms. After the boys left, April turned to Jude, "You're not going to actually listen to him are you?"

"He is the leader." Jude signed.

"He needs to give us a chance." April growled. "I'm going, you coming or not?"

Jude tagged along making sure April didn't get herself killed. Kurtzman disapproved but wished them luck. They jumped inside shortly after the boys, landing in the middle of them.

"April? Jude? What are you doing here?"

April answered, "I told you I'm tired of staying on the sidelines!"

"Fine." Leo scowled, "Just be quiet, stay close and do not let Mikey touch anything!"

The charging Kraang droids around them began making beeping noises.

"It wasn't me!" Mikey exclaimed.

Donnie said, "I think they're done charging!"

They ran out of the room and into an elevator. Leo used the card given to him by Kurtzman to get the elevator to work. They awkwardly waited, listening to awful elevator music, while it went up the floors. Raphael became quickly annoyed and said, "This music is making my ears bleed."

They reached the floor and snuck out quietly. Above them dozens of kraang floated with a vision of Kraang prime. April listened in on their conversation and told them what they were saying, "They're talking about invasion."

April gasped and the Kraang realized they were there.

Jude took out one of the Kraang droids with a gun and picked it up. She quickly figured out how to use it and began shooting the kraang. She was surprised at how accurate her shot was, having never held a gun in her life.

"Help!" April cried.

The boys went after April as Jude took out the remaining Kraang in the room. She grabbed another gun and ran after the boys and April. She found the boys in a creepy room with April clones. Donnie was deleting April's DNA from the Kraang system when more Kraang droids came in. Jude focused on the droids while the boys took out the giant April clone. Raphael went off to rescue April.

When April returned an alarm went off. Mikey screamed, "Let's get out of here!"

A door opened revealing hundreds of April clones. April pushed them away but then got pulled in. All the April's claimed to be the real one; none of the ninjas could tell which was true.

The real April was the one attack the clones with her tessen. They took out the remaining clones and escaped TCRI. Kurtzman was waiting for them and welcomed them into his van. They discussed their win and April's surprising ability.

"I have no clue what I did." She explained. "I was freaking out, and then, ZAP the Kraang were toast."

Kurtzman dropped them off at Jude's apartment. Jude didn't even question how he knew where she lived. Jude said her goodbyes and headed in for the night while the boys and April went back to the lair.

Once in the lair Leonardo pulled out the news clipping on Jude and read through it.

Daughter attacked by own Father!

Just last night Jude Mcman (9) was hospitalized after being attacked by her own father. Jack Mcman had been an alcoholic most of his life and took out his anger on his two daughters and wife. He heavily drank last Tuesday and beat up his eldest daughter, giving her a broken arm and cutting out the tongue of his youngest daughter. Luckily the police were already on their way and paramedics stopped the bleeding. Both girls are resting at NYC Metro Hospital and their father is in custody of the police awaiting charges. Jack Mcman's wife, Laurie, fled the scene before the police arrived.

Leonardo was horrified but what he read. "Her own father?!"
