In the Crete Fortress, Ariana was sleeping peacefully on her bed inside her bedroom.
"Ariana..." A female voice whispered.
Ariana opened her eyes at once as she got up and looked around every corner of her room, but there's no one there. Then, Ariana went back to sleep.
As Ariana was sleeping, she was having a dream unlike anything she ever experienced before. She was in a dark purplish, starry outer space room filled with dull violet stars, constellations and various other celestial bodies floated around the circular perimeters of the room.
Suddenly, Ariana could see a feminine figure unraveling from the shadows. It was a tall, beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure speeding forward towards her. The woman's speed slowed down until she stopped right in front of Ariana, who was staring at her with a surprising face. The woman has deep-dark purple skin, bright purple glowing pixie cut hair, and dark purple eyes. She wore a metallic-looking white robe with long sleeves and a hood under a purple robe with a golden stripe design, black circle markings around her eyes, and purple knee-length boots with black soles.
Ariana could feel strange energy beginning to grow inside of her. Energy so powerful, she felt like she was becoming someone better and stronger. She wanted to see the woman's face. She reached out and tried to move the hood, but the woman began to speak before Ariana's hand could touch her.
"Beware of the Aeon crystal, Ariana." The mysterious woman warned. "It's fueled with addictive powers. You must destroy it at any price."
Ariana gasped sharply as she woke up from her dream in her bedroom and struggled to catch her breath while her purple clover-shaped birthmark was still glowing on her forehead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Turtles lair, April and Ariana sat on the floor surrounded by lit up candles with a psychic neural transmitter on their heads as Donnie was preparing to examine the girls while Leo, Vee, and Macey was sitting on chairs. April had her arms crossed over her chest while Ariana was feeling slightly uncomfortable.
"Are you sure this is a good idea, Donnie?" Vee asked skeptically.
"Um, yeah. Last time you hooked me up to this thing, it made me blind and mentally connected to a giant fish-bird-worm thing." April retorted.
"It did?" Ariana asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Long story." April said with a smile.
"Don't worry. I've upgraded it since then." Donnie assured. "It's perfectly safe. I promise."
The old stereo radio exploded that made Donnie scream suddenly. Leo and April groaned and Vee and Macey roll their eyes while Ariana cocked her head with a raised eyebrow.
"Your psychic powers have been expanding rapidly since you were given that Aeon crystal." Donnie explained to April. "It's imperative that I test its limits. For your own sake."
"I have it under control." April assured. "Besides, if it weren't for my powers, we never would have gotten away from Shredder. You saw what I did to that mutated freak."
"That's what worries us." Leo said.
April turned back to look at Leo with a glare.
"I just need to examine your crystal." Donnie said.
Donnie was about to reach out to the Aeon crystal, but April clutched her crystal protectively in her hands.
"No! I'm not taking it off." April exclaimed. "Don't even ask again, Donnie. It's safe as long as I have it."
"So, why are you here, Ariana?" Vee asked Ariana.
"I had this weird dream about a mysterious woman telling me to beware of...the Aeon crystal." Ariana replied as she looked at the Aeon crystal with a curious face.
April noticed Ariana's stare and clutched her crystal tightly.
"Why?" Donnie asked.
"I really don't know. I can't really explain why, but I know it has something to do with the crystal that caused this to happen." Ariana responded, pointing her index finger at the forehead with her birthmark still intact.
Donnie then turned back to the device in thought.
"Hmm. If I can replicate how this crystal increases April's powers, that could provide a frame of reference..." Donnie said.
"Increase her powers?" Macey repeated as she stood up from the chair. "But what about Ariana?"
"Don't worry. Only slightly. By maybe 0.3%?" Donnie reassured nervously. "But as Ariana, we'll find out soon enough."
"Oh joy." Ariana said sarcastically.
Donnie turned on the radio device and turned back to the girls. April held her crystal and Ariana closed her eyes as they both heard strange whispering. Then, April placed her hands on her knees with an annoyed face and Ariana opened her eyes when her purple glowing clover-shaped birthmark glowed faintly on her forehead.
"April, Ariana, let me know if you two feel anything. Okay? Tingling, headache..." Donnie said.
"Sorry, Donnie. But nothing's happening to us." Ariana said with a shrug.
"And I told you, I'm fine." April retorted with a scoff. "Just leave the crystal..."
Suddenly, April screamed uncontrollably as most of Donnie's lab equipment were slightly being levitated in the air. Ariana, Leo, Vee, Macey, and Donnie looked at April in shock. April's hair flew up wildly in a rising, flame-like appearance as she clutched her glowing crystal tightly when the lab equipments started spinning around the room.
"I knew this was a bad idea!" Leo shouted.
April turned around to stare at Leo and then unleashed a powerful psychic blast that knocked Leo, Donnie, Ariana, Vee, Macey, and the lab equipments flying away.
Just then, Raph pushed the lab door open to see his brothers, his sister, his friends, and his mage friend in a daze from April's psychic blast.
"What are you guys...Huh?" Raph said. He saw April lying on the ground with a groan. "Oh, no. April!"
Raph ran up to April just when Mikey poked his head in the lab to join the others. Macey got up and saw her sister.
"Sissy!" Macey exclaimed in worry.
"Whoa! Are you guys having another super-smash dance party without me?" Mikey asked surprisingly.
Leo, Raph, Donnie, and Vee walked up to the unconscious April.
"She's out, but she seems okay." Leo said.
"We've got to get this away from her." Donnie said as he took the Aeon crystal off of April.
Surprisingly, the Aeon crystal started to struggle against Donnie and slipped out of his hands.
"The crystal!" Donnie gasped.
Ariana slowly got up and watched the floating Aeon crystal with a shocked face. Suddenly, her eyes went blazing in a purple glow and her purple clover-shaped birthmark started shining as bright as the sun that caught the Turtles' and Macey's attention.
"No." Ariana declared. This time, her voice was accompanied by a mature feminine voice. "The crystal must be destroyed."
"Ariana, how are you talking like that?" Donnie asked with a surprising face.
Ariana didn't respond to Donnie's question as she slowly lifted her right hand and the Aeon crystal was enveloped in a purple aura within seconds. The crystal itself was stopped by an inch close to April. Ariana roughly yanked her hand back that pulled the crystal to her direction, but Donnie quickly caught it in his hands.
"Ariana, what are you doing?" Donnie demanded.
"The Aeon crystal must be destroyed. I've sensed great evil within that object." Ariana explained. "I will take it from you by force if I have to, Donatello."
Ariana lifted her right hand again and this time Donnie was enveloped in a purple aura to the wall.
"Ariana, stop!" Vee pleaded.
Ariana blasted a purple psychic wave at Vee to knock her down. Macey quickly went over to her aid.
"Vee!" Macey gasped as she helped her friend sit up.
Leo, Raph, and Mikey were about to stop Ariana at full speed, but they were levitated to the ceiling by Donna's psychic energy magic. Ariana moved in closer to Donnie, who was staring wide-eyed at her sudden influence of some unknown being. A sudden red psychic energy blast hit Ariana painfully in the back and she collapsed unconsciously to the floor. The Turtles and Macey looked to see Camilla was the one who delivered the blast behind the possessed Ariana.
"Sorry, sis." Camilla said.
Camilla turned around to the blue swirly portal behind her as Kirana, Talia, Ezra, and Norbit came through it. They lifted the Turtles down from Ariana's magic. Ezra helped Vee up on her feet and Norbit gave the turquoise masked turtle an ice pack. But then, the Aeon crystal slipped out of Donnie's hands. As the Aeon crystal was close to return to April, Raph went over to catch it with his hands.
"I got it." Raph said.
Raph nailed the crystal to the table that was able to restrain it from moving.
"That should hold it, for now." Donnie said.
The crystal shot up towards Vee, causing her to fall back and yelp in fright.
"Vee, you ok?" Macey asked.
"Fine." Vee growled "I hate this thing!"
"What happened in here?" Splinter asked as he stepped inside the lab from the door with his crutch and saw an unconscious April in Leo's arms. "April?"
"It's that alien crystal. It's been messing with her head." Leo explained.
"That crystal has a strong hold on both her mind and spirit. It has become too dangerous." Splinter said. He turned to see an unconscious Ariana lying on the floor. "Did the crystal affect Ariana as well?"
"We don't know." Kirana replied. "We got here as soon as I sensed something strange about Ariana that led us here."
"Did the crystal really affect her?" Ezra asked.
"No, the crystal is not affecting your sister. She was acting as if someone was controlling her actions." Donnie explained as he went over to check on Ariana. "But Sensei's right. I need to break its connection with April. Somehow. But I don't know what to do with Ariana in the moment."
"Don't worry, Donnie. We'll take her to our mother." Kirana said as she picked up Ariana in her arms. "She'll know what to do."
Kirana walked through the portal with Camilla, Talia, Ezra, and Norbit before the portal closed itself from Donnie's lab.
"I will tend to her in the dojo. Perhaps the mantras will help." Splinter said.
"I got her, Sensei." Leo said as he picked up April in his arms and walked out of the lab with Splinter.
The Aeon crystal levitated towards April as it was still trying to go back to her again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Outside, Casey sat on the rooftop ground as he was bored out of his mind under the dark thundering sky.
"I can't believe Raph and Camilla left me on foot patrol alone. Eh, nothing really happening." Casey murmured. He then moved to the edge of the rooftop. "Wait, what's this?"
Casey looked down to see Fishface, Rahzar, Galva, and Masque loading stacks of mutagen into the white van.
"Careful with that shipment." Tiger Claw warned. "There isn't much left."
"Shredder and Shade needs every last drop to maintain their mutation." Tigress said.
"Man, Super Shredder and Lady Shadestrike must have got really messed up." Casey said. He quickly took out his K-Phone in his hands. "I gotta call Raph and Camilla!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Crete Fortress, Sage was mediating in the air to concentrate her spiritual energy until Kirana, Camilla, Talia, Ezra, and Norbit ran into the dojo.
"What is it, my children?" Sage asked as she lowered down to the floor and saw the unconscious Ariana in Kirana's arms. "What happened to Ariana?"
"We saw her trying to take April's crystal away from Donnie." Kirana explained. "It was like she was becoming controlled by someone inside her."
Sage's eyes widened in shock as she knew what's going on with Ariana when the memory of the purple mage kunoichi was attacking the Kurage Queen with incredible power flashed in her mind.
Suddenly, Camilla got a phone call from Casey.
"Hey, Casey." Camilla said through her K-Phone. "Wait, what? They're taking the mutagen? Okay, we're on our way. And don't even try anything stupid this time."
"I promise." Casey complained. "Seriously, you and Raph really need to get off my case."
Camilla rolled her eyes in annoyance and hung up her K-Phone.
"It's Casey. He spotted Shade's crew stealing some mutagen from an old Kraang lab along with Shredder's pinheads." Camilla said to her mother and her siblings.
"I need to keep an eye on Ariana." Sage said. "I know a spell that will help her."
"Norbit and I can stay with mother." Ezra said.
"Okay. Let's go." Kirana ordered Camilla and Talia.
Kirana, Camilla, and Talia exited out the dojo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back in the city, Casey was waiting for his friends impatiently on the rooftop.
"What's taking the guys so long?" Casey murmured.
Casey looked back down to watch the mutants and the mage mutants have finished loading the mutagen inside the van as they started up the engine and drove away.
"Once again, it's up to Casey Jones to save the day." Casey said confidently.
Casey jumped down onto the fire escape and slid down to leap on the van. Fishface looked at the rearview mirror to see Casey at his sights.
"What? That vigilante idiot!" Fishface exclaimed.
Fishface steered the wheel and the van was swerving back and forth to get Casey off the vehicle. Casey then dodged Rahzar's claws and Galva's giant fists plunging near him, making him stumble back off the vehicle and clinged to the rear bumper for his dear life. Rahzar, Galva, Elite Foot Bots, and Elite Shadow Droids suddenly opened the door.
"Ah, nuts." Casey mumbled.
Elite Foot Bots, and Elite Shadow Droids jumped to the street as they chased after Casey. The human vigilante tried to attack the robots as best as he can. Casey jumped into the back of the van, leaving the robots trail behind the vehicle.
"If Shredder and Shade wants that mutagen, you're gonna have to go through me first!" Casey said.
Tiger Claw looked back to see Rahzar and Galva were thrown out of the van and into the street.
"I want to finish this one...personally." Tiger Claw growled angrily.
Tiger Claw crawled out of the passenger seat and clawed his way to the back until he got hit by the van back door that made him stumble to the top of a taxi. Tiger Claw then powered his jetpack to follow the van and fired red energy blasts from his laser guns.
"Glad I saved this baby." Casey said as he pulled out a metallic silver photon puck.
Casey fired the photon puck at Tiger Claw, who slowly sliced it in half with his sword. But the photon puck made the Elite Foot Bots and Elite Shadow Droids exploded behind Tiger Claw, knocking him back from the air.
"Well, so much for that." Tigress remarked with a deadpan face.
Casey suddenly electrocuted Fishface, Masque, and Tigress with his homemade tazer before throwing them out of the van and drove away.
"Say what's up to Shredder and Shade for me!" Casey shouted.
"No! After him!" Tiger Claw shouted.
Tiger Claw, Elite Foot Bots, and Elite Shadow Droids pursued after Casey. Tigress got up from the ground and followed after the flaming robots.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back in the Crete Fortress, Sage sat on the floor cross-legged in the dojo. She held her hands on either sides of Ariana's head and closed her eyes as her hands enveloped with a strong glow of white energy. Ezra and Norbit watched as Sage did her work.
"Kokoro no kensaku." Sage chanted.
Sage opened her eyes with a glowing stare and her soul materialized out of her body before soaring toward Ariana's purple glowing clover-shaped birthmark. Once she was inside Ariana's birthmark, she landed on a rocky platform under a dark purplish starry sky. She looked up to see a colossal floating monolith with an imposing, broad-based tower that nearly covered the entire upper surface with a half-stunned face.
"Incredible." Sage breathed.
Sage teleported herself right in front of the tower that has a huge gold clover symbol emblazoned on the front. On a high balcony, a mysterious woman that Ariana met in her dreams was staring down at Ariana and moved away without a word.
"Lyssa!" Sage said softly as she flew up toward the balcony and landed right behind the mysterious woman to stop her from going inside. "No, wait! I can't believe you're actually alive. My mother told me stories about you and the others. I thought the Dragonesses have perish many years ago."
"I've always survived my existence, Sage." Lyssa said as she looked toward Sage with a calm face. "I have my soul reside within this child's mind. My pure spirit of Ariana's body was absolute."
"So, you have used the last portion of your magic to be reborn as my daughter." Sage said with wide eyes. "That also means the other three did the same thing. I should've known that back in Japan. But why are you controlling Ariana's body?"
"The Aeon crystal has made Ariana's friend April O'Neil extremely possessive and addictive by its massive powers." Lyssa explained. "If that continues to grow, it will be too late for April and I mustn't let that happen to her. Especially when I've been observing Ariana's memories about her friendship with April. But what only really matters is that the crystal's influence must end."
Lyssa's eyes glowed bright purple and an expanding purple energy began swallowing both women. Sage shielded her eyes from the blinding energy.
Suddenly, Sage snapped out of her trance with a gasp as she was back inside the dojo. Ariana instantly opened her eyes with a sharp gasp.
"Ariana is awake." Norbit said.
"What the? Where am I?" Ariana demanded as she looked around the dojo.
"Calm down, Ariana. Your siblings brought you here after what happened to you with the Aeon crystal." Sage assured.
"The Aeon crystal?" Ariana echoed as she puts her right hand on her head. "That's right. I was in Donnie's lab when I told him about my dream and..."
Ariana unexpectedly released a tormented scream as she was lifted up high into the air.
"Ariana!" Ezra shouted in fear.
Glowing purplish-white sparkles began to form around her, changing her into a totally different person. Her eyes turned dark purple and her brown hair was tied up in a bun with metallic purple hairsticks. She suddenly wore a form-fitting short purple dress with long spiked black sleeves and knee-length slits at the sides and knee-high dark purple boots. She also has a dark purple clover symbol on the right side of her face.
"What is that?!" Ezra asked, with a shocked expression.
"Lyssa, you have my permission to end the crystal's power, but promise me you will not harm April." Sage called.
Ariana started groaning and her eyes went back to normal as she looked down at Sage.
"Mother, what's...what's happening to me? Who's Lyssa?" Ariana asked as she struggled to regain control on her body.
Ariana's eyes quickly turned back to dark purple and faced Sage with a calm look on her face.
"You have my word, Sage." Lyssa said. "But you have to promise me that Ariana must not know about my existence until the time is right."
"I promise." Sage said with a nod.
Lyssa nodded her head and then teleported herself away from the fortress dojo.
"Mother, who was that and what did she do to Ariana?" Ezra asked.
"That was Lyssa; one of the Four Dragoness." Sage answered calmly. "She used her magic to reborn into Ariana so she could continue her form."
"What's she gonna do with her?" Ezra asked.
"Ariana will be alright." Sage replied. "She has to stop the crystal necklace that April has and end its darkness to save the Earth."
"She could need back up." Ezra said. "I'll go find her. Come on, Norbit. I need you to come too."
"Alright, Ezra." Norbit said.
Ezra and Norbit ran to the exit and Sage watched them before she looked at the bamboo tree.
"If Ariana is the present incarnation of Lyssa, then does that means the other three Dragonesses have been reincarnated as Kirana, Camilla, and Talia as well?" Sage wondered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Outside, Lyssa teleported herself in the sky filled with thunderstorm as she floated high above the illuminating city.
"This city. This new world. So many lives." Lyssa said with a wondrous face. "It's...so beautiful."
Ariana's eyes went back to normal and she found herself floating high in the sky.
"Wait a minute...How did I get up here? First, I was in the fortress and now..." Ariana gasped in shock.
Ariana's eyes went back to dark purple.
"That no longer concerns you, Ariana." Lyssa said. "I wanted to warn you about the crystal's influence on your friend."
Ariana's eyes went back to normal and she looked down at the entire city.
"April? I knew there's something wrong with the Aeon crystal from the start! I must...I must get the crystal away from her." Ariana murmured.
Ariana's eyes went back to dark purple as if she was starting to talk to Lyssa inside her.
"You know what must be done." Lyssa said calmly. "There's no telling what the power of the crystal can do to her. If you wanted to protect your friend, then help me take the enemy out of April together."
Ariana's eyes went back to normal as she began taking deep breaths very slowly.
"Yes. I have to save April from the crystal's power at any price." Ariana said. She then looked back down to see a white van racing through the street. "Is that Casey?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Casey looked at the left rearview to see two burning Elite Foot Bots and two burning Elite Shadow Droids. He steered the wheel to ram the van against the two Elite Foot robots as two Elite Shadow robots jumped on top of the van before they got hit by a pole. Casey cheered for victory, but he quickly screamed when he saw a dumpster at his sight. The van crashed into the dumpster, causing it to flip over and landed on the ground in the alley. Casey kicked out the windshield and jumped out to escape the vehicle with a groan, but he looked up to see Tiger Claw knelt himself on the van behind him. Casey screamed as he got up to run away, but he quickly got cornered by Fishface, Masque, and Tigress. He turned around back to Tiger Claw, who extended his claws with an evil smile. Tiger Claw, Tigress, Fishface, and Masque delivered fast blows that made Casey hit to the alley wall.
Just before the mutants and the mage mutants finished Casey off, April descended down in the alley to confront them from the sky.
"This menina will be no problem." Fishface smirked.
Fishface charged forward to attack April in fast speed, but April stopped Fishface in the air with her telekinetic powers and ripped one mechanical leg off on the fish mutant that made him knocked down by it.
"I'll take her on." Masque hissed.
Masque flew high over the two mutants and straight towards April as she shot beams of ghost white energy from her eyes at her. April flew up to avoid the energy beams and levitated a dumpster to project it at the ghost mystic mutant, hitting Masque out of the air and making her fall hard on the ground in the alley. Rahzar and Galva emerged to attack April together from behind, but the redhead kunoichi psychically slammed a dumpster at them.
"Nothing like a good old fight to the death to get my blood boiling." Tigress grinned sinisterly. "Alright, let's make this a lot of fun."
Tigress's left eye started to glow in a dark oranglish light and gathered a massive amount of burnt orange energy power in a form of ball in one hand before aiming it straight to April with fast speed. April lifted up her left hand to stop energy ball and sent it back to hit Tigress, who collapsed to the ground with extreme damage.
"Your parlor tricks won't stop me, girl." Tiger Claw said.
Tiger Claw charged forward towards April with his sword until he got choked up in the air with April's psychic powers before she knocked him into the wall with a fling.
"April?" Casey murmured with a stunned face.
Leo, Raph, and Mikey suddenly jumped down behind Casey not long before Kirana, Camilla, and Talia teleported themselves next to the human vigilante.
"What happened here?" Raph asked.
"What's wrong with April?" Talia asked as she stared at the possessed April.
April grunted with a groan as she held her head with her hands when the Turtles, the K-5, and Casey ran up to her.
"Where am I? Why am I here?" April asked.
"That's what I was gonna ask you." Mikey replied in confusion.
"April O'Neil."
Everyone looked up at the source of that mysterious voice and found the possessed Ariana floating down in the alley from the sky.
"Ariana?" Camilla gasped sharply.
"No, I'm Lyssa. One of the Four Dragoness." Lyssa said. "I have come for April O'Neil."
"The Four Dragoness?" Kirana exclaimed with a surprising face.
"You must hand that crystal to me now." Lyssa said to April.
April groaned as her eyes turned back to bright white with her flying flame-like hair. She turned to face Ariana with a glare.
"Not. A. Chance!" April spat.
April launched herself to Ariana with a flying tackle and they went soaring in the air away from their allies.
"April! What are you doing?" Leo called out.
"It's that crystal. It has taken control of her just like Lyssa is trying control Ariana somehow." Kirana said as she used her aura magic to sense something on April. "We have to follow them."
The Turtles, the K-5, and Casey ran after April and Ariana.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leo, Kirana, Raph, Camilla, Mikey, Talia, and Casey have tracked down April and Ariana to the Channel 6 building. Raph pulled out his grappling hook and clasped Camilla by the waist. Leo grabbed Kirana by the waist and took his grappling hook. Mikey drew out his grappling hook and Talia wrapped her arms around his neck. The Turtles shot their grappling hooks to stab into the edge of the building above from them and they climbed up to the top with the K-5, leaving Casey take the stairs. Three Turtles and three mages landed on the rooftop just when Casey came from the doorway near them.
"Aw, nuts! Still beat me." Casey complained.
Everyone looked up to see Ariana crash down to the ground in front of them. Ariana created a large purple psychic energized hand from her right palm to seize April.
"I don't want to fight you, April!" Lyssa said.
April's smile grew sinisterly as she released a strong psychic wave radiating out from her body that destroyed the giant energized hand to break free. As she floated down in front of everyone next to Ariana, April slowly regained control of herself again. Ariana was able to regain herself as well. They both looked at the Turtles, the K-5, and Casey.
"What's happening to you two?" Leo asked in concern.
"I thought Donnie and Splinter were looking after you, April." Mikey said.
"And didn't mother help you with your body controlled incident?" Talia asked Ariana.
"I guess. I don't remember!" April replied.
"Yeah, neither do I!" Ariana said.
Suddenly, April and Ariana groaned while screaming in pain. Leo, Kirana, Raph, Camilla, Mikey, Talia, and Casey looked at them in horror.
"It's that crystal! It has some seriously bad juju, guys!" Mikey exclaimed.
"It's changing you, April." Leo said.
April stood up straight with her eyes glowing white.
"There is no April, only Za-Naron." April said in a different voice.
Leo, Kirana, Raph, Camilla, Mikey, Talia, and Casey looked at the possessed April in shock.
"What do you mean, you're not April? Who is Za-Naron?" Leo asked.
"I am the Soul of an Elder Aeon, one of the First Seven." Za-Naron explained. "After 100 millennia our physical forms had disintegrated, so our spirits were each placed into the Soul Star, to exist forever. I have been transplanting my mind into her consciousness slowly. But the Aeons did not know how corrupt this planet could be. I intend to save it."
Ariana got back up on her feet with her eyes glowing dark purple as she turned to face Za-Naron.
"But your actions will cause the devastation of this world!" Lyssa shouted.
"So, if you're Lyssa from the Four Dragoness, then why are you here inside Ariana's body?" Kirana asked Lyssa.
"My spirit has resided within Ariana's subconscious mind." Lyssa explained. "I was only able to gain control of her body when the Aeon crystal was growing more stronger and dangerous."
"I'm honored to finally meet you in person, Lyssa." Za-Naron said with a grin. "Your history and your godlike magic intrigues me. Join me and we can rule the planet together."
"Sorry, but it's my planet to protect." Lyssa said with a glare.
"Very well then." Za-Naron said in a low, dangerous voice. "I'll show everyone what happens when you dare defy me."
Za-Naron suddenly lifted everyone, except for Ariana, in the air with her psychic powers and flung them off the rooftop. But Leo, Raph, and Mikey were able to catch their four friends with their grappling hooks to land themselves safely on the street. They looked up at the building to see a familiar mutant climbing up the walls with his wall-scaling claws. With a familiar turtle and half human half wolf fusion, mage ninja, and robot following the purple masked turtle.
"Donnie!" Mikey shouted.
"Kitsune!" Casey shouted.
"Ezra! Norbit!" Talia shouted.
Leo, Kirana, Raph, Camilla, Mikey, Talia, and Casey ran towards the building.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, Donnie climbed up on the building rooftop to watch April and Donna battle. Ezra climbed up and grabbed Kitsune's hand to help her up. Norbit got up and stood by Kitsune. They watch April and Ariana fighting with worried expressions.
April warmed up her right fist with telekinetic energy and delivered a punch right at Ariana's face, sending the purple mage kunoichi tumble to the ground. Ariana got back on her feet and floated in mid-air to give April a hard glare. April unloaded a machine-gun barrage of telekinetic waves, but Ariana flew through them without getting harm and shot a medium-sized blazing purple bolt of psychic energy for a crushing counterstrike. That attack connected with April's left hand. Ariana was rising to stare down at April with both hands engulfed in a dazzling radiance of psychic energy. April merely laughed in her face, but Donnie made a move to confront the girls himself.
"April! Ariana!" Donnie called out.
"Foolish mortal." Za-Naron said. She aimed her hand down threateningly at Donnie and pushed him away with her psychic powers. "Stay out of my way."
"April, it's Macey!" Kitsune called out. "I'm your sister!"
April turned away from Kitsune and faced Ariana as she made the possessed purple mage kunoichi choke with her power.
"I'm offering you this choice one last time, Lyssa. Join me or die in my hands." Za-Naron said.
"I'll...never join...you! Not now...not ever!" Lyssa yelled.
Ariana shot out a large purple beam of psychic energy from her eyes that hit April's chest, sending her crash to the ground in pain. Ariana slowly rubbed her neck as Donnie ran over to check on the possesed mage kunoichi, who was getting up back on her feet from the ground.
"Ariana, you have to fight this. You can't let the crystal control you." Donnie said.
"No, Donnie. It's not the crystal. Her name is Lyssa." Ariana explained with her voice went back to normal. "I don't remember what's going on right now, but I know that..."
Ariana yelled agonizingly as she clapped her hands to her forehead in the grip of a painful seizure. Donnie quickly caught her in his arms before she stumbled backward towards the ground. He watched closely as Lyssa have regained control of Ariana's body once again.
"What's happening to Ariana?" Kitsune asked.
"It's one of the Four Dragoness." Ezra said. "Lyssa."
"Who are you and what are you doing to Ariana?" Donnie demanded.
"Yeah! Let her go!" Kitsune demanded.
"It's alright. I'm a friend." Lyssa explained. "I'm only here to save April from the crystal's power."
"Why?" Donnie asked.
"Because there's an evil Aeon resides inside the crystal named Za-Naron." Lyssa replied. "She wants to control April's body to destroy the city and then the whole planet. I can't let that happen. You have to believe me."
"I do." Donnie said as he picked up Ariana and made her stand on her feet. "But you can't do this alone."
"Yeah, we're helping you out." Kitsune said.
"All of us." Norbit added.
"Okay." Lyssa said with a nod.
Donnie, Ariana, Ezra, Kitsune, and Norbit turned back to face April.
"Sissy, it's Macey and Vee!" Kitsune shouted. "Also Ezra and Norbit are here too!"
"April, it's us, Donatello and Ariana!" Donnie shouted.
"April, listen!" Ezra shouted. "We want to help you!"
"Donnie? Ariana? Guys?" April said softly with her normal voice.
April groaned in pain as she clutched her head with her hands to regain control of herself as she lowered herself down to the ground on her knees.
"Listen to me. Give us the crystal." Donnie said as he and Ariana walked closer to April.
"Just give us the crystal and everything will be okay." Lyssa said calmly.
"No!" Za-Naron shouted.
April turned back to lift Donnie and Ariana in the air. Kitsune, Ezra, and Norbit quickly climbed up the satellite to follow their friends. Leo, Kirana, Raph, Camilla, Mikey, Talia, and Casey got back up on the rooftop to watch Donnie and Ariana floating up into the sky by April with the four friends following April.
"Donnie!" Leo yelled.
"Donnie!" Mikey and Raph screamed.
"Kitsune! Ezra!" Casey shouted.
"Ariana, we're coming!" Kirana, Camilla, and Talia shouted.
Leo, Raph, and Mikey grappled the way up to the rooftop as Kirana, Camilla, Talia, and Casey followed them.
"This isn't you, April! That crystal is changing you! You need to break free!" Donnie shouted to April.
"Ah. It's too much power. I...I can't control it anymore." April groaned as she struggled to fight off Za-Naron's influence.
"You can do it! We know you can!" Lyssa said.
"I'm not strong enough." April said sadly. "Donnie, Ariana, I'm sorry."
April groaned as she instantly let Za-Naron retake control of her body.
"April? Please." Donnie begged.
Za-Naron aimed April's hand down at Donnie and surrounded him in a blue molecular level.
"April! Please!" Donnie shouted.
"Za-Naron, stop this!" Lyssa yelled.
Za-Naron clenched her hand into a fist and reduced Donnie into disintegrating atoms for his interference, much to the shocking horror of Ariana, Donnie's brothers, Ariana sisters, Kitsune, Norbit, and Casey.
"Donatello!" Kitsune and Ezra screamed.
"Donnie!" Norbit exclaimed.
"Donnie!" Leo aand Kirana screamed.
"Donnie!" Raph and Camilla shouted.
"Oh my gosh!" Casey exclaimed.
"Noooooooo!" Mikey and Talia yelled.
Ariana stared in bug-eyed horror at what Za-Naron have done to Donnie with her powers with uncontrollable tears in her eyes.
"No." Ariana whispered.
Donnie's purple mask flew through the air and Ariana was able to grab it in her hands.
As the sky started raining, April smiled evilly and unleashed a radiating surge of electricity with a triumphant roar. She had zapped the Channel 6 broadcast tower with lightning that knocked the Turtles, the K-5, Kitsune, Norbit, and Casey off below. Raph stood back up and looked up to watch April vanish out of his sight.
"She's gone. What do we do, Leo?" Raph asked as he turned to his older brother.
"What just happened? Is Donnie really gone, Kirana?" Camilla asked with a stunned face.
All Leo can do is sigh for the loss of his younger brother. But Kirana gasped sharply as her aura magic was alerting about Donnie's atomic presence.
"Poor Donnie." Casey murmured.
"No." Kirana said firmly. "He's still alive. I can't explain it, but he's still here somewhere in this city."
"No he's not, Kirana!" Ezra said, angrily. "Donnie is dead because of that monster!"
Everyone gasped at Ezra's words but Kitsune glared at the direction where April went.
"She'll pay for this!" Kitsune glared, with tears falling from her eyes.
Kitsune summoned a pink and turquoise sword of psychic energy and ran towards the rooftops to find April. Ezra and Norbit followed Kitsune with anger in Ezra's eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back in the sky, Ariana was looking down at Donnie's mask as her tears fell on it. She had clutched it tightly in her right fist.
"Donnie...you...you can't be gone." Ariana said sadly. "This...this can't be real!"
Ariana closed her eyes tightly as many visionary memories of Donnie started flashing in her mind. All of those memories caused blazing purple energy surrounding Ariana's entire body as a wave of anger and sadness washed over her mind.
"Ariana, you have to calm down." Lyssa said in alarm. "You're losing control of your emotions. You have to regain control on yourself."
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Ariana screamed with a fearsome tone as four glowing bright purple eyes popped open from her face. "She destroyed Donnie! My Donnie! And now she will pay for what she's done to him!"
With that, Ariana soared down to the city on her search for April.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
April floated through the city buildings in the rain, but she tumbled herself in the air and crashed onto a nearby rooftop with an exhausting groan. She looked down at her reflection in a puddle as she realized what happened earlier.
"No! Donnie. I can't believe it. How could I?" April said with a horror face.
April grunted in pain as she turned back into Za-Naron.
"You made your choice, and you chose the crystal. Let go of your connection to these sub-life forms who pollute this planet. I must cleanse it, starting with this city." Za-Naron said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the street, Hun and the Purple Dragons have surrounded an elderly woman as they were about to mug a helpless old lady unless she paid them for protection. April laughed as she floated down in front of the Purple Dragons, making the old lady run away with a scream.
"Come to play, girl?" Hun wondered.
April easily overpowered the Purple Dragons by throwing them to the wall and knocked them out with her psychic powers.
"Impressive tricks. Ever think of joining the Purple Dragons?" Hun offered.
"No." April replied.
April used her psychic powers to threw Hun away that sent him flying into some trash cans just when the Turtles, the K-5, and Casey arrived on the scene. Kitsune, Ezra, and Norbit arrived and two friends were furious at April.
"You can't do this, April! Or Za-Naron, or whoever you are!" Leo protested.
"Do not stand in my way, or you will be cleansed just as Donatello was." Za-Naron warned.
"Your going to pay for what you did to him!" Kitsune snapped angrily.
Suddenly, Ezra realized that he was letting his anger control him and he tried to help Kitsune.
"Vee, it was Za-Noran who did it." Ezra pleaded.
"Yeah, sis." Mikey added. "It wasn't her!"
Kitsune ignored both the orange masked turtle and the teal mage ninja. April started engulfing herself in swirly blue energy.
"We have to stop her." Leo said.
"What?" Kirana exclaimed in disbelief. "Leo, we can't fight her!"
"She's right, Leo, what if April is still in there?" Casey asked.
"Are you kidding? I don't like it, but April O'Neil...is gone." Raph said.
Casey looked down with a devastated look on his face.
"I'm sorry, guys, but Raph's right." Camilla said with a heavy sigh. "We have no choice. We have to take her down!"
Raph charged forward and grabbed April to restrain her from breaking free. Kitsune prepared to shoot April with an energy ball but Ezra stopped her. Kitsune looked at him and paused for a brief moment with sad eyes, but shook it off and glared at April.
"Do it! Hurry!" Raph shouted.
Mikey held his kusarigama chain in his hands and Talia engulfed her hands with orange psychic energy, but they hesitated because they can't bring themselves to attack April.
"I can't hurt her, dude." Mikey said.
"She's our friend, Raph." Talia said. "Like Kirana said, we can't hurt her."
April pushed Raph away and lifted him up in the air as she started twisting his bones with her psychic powers. She laughed evilly as she continued pulling Raph's arms and legs. Leo and Mikey restrained April with Mikey's kusarigama chains, but she broke free out of the chains. Kirana, Camilla, and Talia then pointed their magic at April to restrain her with many chains made of psychic energy.
"We know you're in there, Red." Casey said to the possessed April.
"We're your friends! Your family!" Mikey shouted.
"Remember who you are! You are April O'Neil. Remember everything we've been through together." Leo yelled.
"Yeah, like the time we fought a giant mutagen man? And our dope missions in space." Casey reminded.
"And Master Splinter. And pizza parties. And Ice Cream Kitty." Mikey added.
"Don't forget our good times together with just us girls." Talia recalled.
"Our classes, our sleepovers, even our girl's night out." Camilla added.
"You're stronger than this, April. You have to fight it!" Kirana shouted.
The Aeon crystal glowed brightly as if Za-Naron refused to let April resurface from her control.
"No!" Za-Naron shouted.
April pushed Leo, Kirana, Mikey, and Talia back with her psychic powers. She then pushed Casey out of the way and lifted Raph back up in the air as she started ripping him apart on the molecular level. Suddenly, a turquoise energy ball launched past Ezra and hit April in the chest, making her fly back a couple of feet. Ezra turned around to see that Kitsune unfused back to Vee and Macey.?Raph landed on the ground and everyone saw Vee walking up to April with a glare on her face. Macey was about to go towards her friend, but Norbit stopped her as Ezra stood in front of Vee.
"Vee, please, this has to stop." Ezra begged.
"I don't care." Vee replied. "She killed my brother."
Vee moved away from Ezra and faced April. The turquoise masked turtle stepped forward and closed her eyes before she opened them again to show that they were glowing bright turquoise and her body began to glow in a bright turquoise aura. Za-Noran huffed and blasted a telekinetic wave at Vee but the turquoise masked turtle blasted a powerful turquoise energy ball back at Za-Noran, causing her to fall down and hit the building hard on the wall. Norbit and Macey helped Raph up and Casey stared in awe at the fight while Ezra looked in worry for Vee.
"Vee!" Ezra shouted.
Za-Noran floated back up and glared at the turquoise masked turtle. Vee floated up as well and launched five turquoise energy waves at April. Za-Noran dodged the energy waves by flying above or below the attack and held Vee in a telekinesis grip but the turquoise masked turtle broke free with her magic. Za-Noran shouted with a charge towards the turquoise masked turtle but Vee blasted a turquoise beam at April's head to force her to the street hard enough to pin her down. Everyone looked at Vee in complete shock and were speechless. Za-Noran groaned in frustration as she tried to get out, but Vee's beam kept pushing her down. Vee floated back down and walked closer to her red haired friend.
"Remember Donnie and Ariana!" Vee shouted.
April suddenly closed her eyes as all of the visionary memories of Donnie and Ariana flashed through her mind. The memory of her guilt of destroying Donnie made her break free from Vee's beam and knelt down to the ground while trying to regain control from Za-Naron. Vee let a tear roll down her cheek as she thought about her now deceased brother and what he would think of his younger sister's actions. Vee backed away from April and Ezra went over to her.
"We don't have the power to destroy the crystal. Only you do, April." Leo called out.
"You can do it! We all believe in you!" Kirana shouted.
April struggled to fight off Za-Naron for her to rip the Aeon crystal off her neck. With a furious yell, she finally threw the crystal to the ground that shattered it into pieces. But unfortunately, Za-Naron emerged out of April's body after her link to the redhead was no more. Za-Naron had now gained into her physical form as a corrupted, winged demon creature.
"Foolish creature!" Za-Naron shouted furiously. "You could have had all the power of the universe!"
Za-Naron charged down towards April in retaliation. Vee quickly summoned her bow and shot a flaming turquoise arrow at Za-Naron as Ezra threw a teal psychic energy dagger at Za-Naron. April drew out her tanto blade and charged forward towards Za-Naron. When the two collided, April sliced Za-Naron with one slash. That ripped Za-Naron's physical form to shreds, leaving her energy to disperse with an anguished scream of defeat in a huge explosion.
"Red, is that really you?" Casey wondered.
"I think so." April replied.
"I'm sorry." Vee apologized before she floated up and ran to the rooftops with tears rolling down her face.
"Vee, wait! Come back!" Macey shouted.
"I'll go talk to her." Ezra said before he floated up to the rooftops and ran after Vee.
"Don't worry, Wolfie. We'll get her back." Casey assured.
April then felt guilt-ridden and devastated over what Za-Naron made her do to Donnie. "But...but Donnie. What have I done?"
"It's not your fault, April." Leo said gently.
"But it is!" April cried. "It was all me in a way."
"Za-Naron!"
Everyone looked up to see Ariana floating in the air with four burning dark purple eyes. Her face was twisted into a look of undiluted fury.
"You will pay for what you did to Donatello!" Ariana shouted menacingly.
Ariana screamed as she moved forward to charge down at April with fast speed. But Talia stood right in front of April, forcing Ariana to stop in mid-air in the process.
"Ariana!" Talia shouted. "Please stop this right now!"
"No, I'll end her! I'll destroy every part of that monster!" Ariana hollered.
Talia constructed a long chain made of orange psychic energy and quickly ensnared her older sister down to the ground with all of her strength. Kirana and Camilla joined their youngest sister as they constructed a long chain made of blue and red psychic energy to restrain Ariana tightly. Three mages held on to their chains long enough to calm down their out of control sister.
"Ariana, April defeated Za-Naron!" Kirana cried out. "You have to calm down! You can't let your anger get the best of you!"
"You really expected me to believe that?" Ariana retorted with a scream. "Especially for what she did to Donatello! I will destroy her and end her existence..."
Ariana gasped sharply and collapsed on her knees when April clutched her arms around her friend in a tight hug.
"Ariana, I'm so sorry for everything Za-Naron force me to do." April said softly. "Please forgive me."
Ariana remained silent with tears in her eyes and she hugged her friend back tightly. Kirana, Camilla, and Talia released Ariana from their chains, making the weapons vanish from sight. They went over to hug their sister in comfort. Ariana hugged her sisters back, but April gasped when she saw blue wisp of energy straight ahead.
"Donnie's not gone!" April exclaimed. She got up and ran to pick up a molecular energy wisp. "He wasn't really destroyed, just molecularly scattered."
"I knew it." Kirana said.
"Let's bring him back together." Ariana said as she held out her right hand at April with a smile.
April smiled back and took Ariana's hand as they started concentrating their powers to collect all of the broken molecules, restoring all of Donnie's molecules back into his full physical form. Donnie fell down on the street ground and got back up on his feet as he was confused about his location.
The Turtles, the K-5, and Casey cheered for Donnie's restoration.
"Yeah!" Talia cheered.
"Bro!" Mikey shouted happily.
"Donnie!" April shouted as she ran forward and hugged Donnie tightly in relief. "Thank goodness."
Suddenly, purple light poured from the clover symbol on Ariana's face that quickly caught everyone's attention. The symbol expanded to fill the purple mage entirely, making her sisters and her friends to back up a bit with surprising faces. The blinding sphere grew again and detonated in a terrific flash. When the flash cleared, Ariana's new outfit had changed back to her kunoichi outfit. But her eyes glowed dark purple as if Lyssa took control of Ariana's body once more. Ariana levitated herself right in front of Donnie just when April moved away for them to talk.
"Lyssa?" Donnie asked. "Are you still in Ariana's body?"
"For now." Lyssa smiled. She turned Ariana's head to face April. "I'm truly sorry for Ariana's destructive behavior, April. When her anger and sadness took over her actions, I was able to observe her memories on Donatello." She let out a small grin. "Especially when I've discovered she has feelings for him."
"What? She does?" Donnie asked.
"Figures." April said with a smile. "You two are made for each other after all."
"She does love you, Donatello." Lyssa said to Donnie. "She adores your intelligence and everything about you the more she becomes closer to you. That's why she cares so much for you. That's what soultouch is really about. It sparked the bond between Leo and Kirana. I'm sure it'll spark between you and Ariana."
"I've never even thought of that." Donnie said. "I mean, I knew we had a connection. But I think...I think I really am falling in love with Ariana."
"Well, now you know." Lyssa said. "I will release Ariana from my control. When she wakes up, she won't remember anything that happen. Farewell, Donatello."
Lyssa leaned towards Donnie and planted an affectionate kiss on his lips. Donnie startled for a second, but he wrapped both his arms around Ariana's body and embraced the kiss. For a brief time, Lyssa had released herself from Ariana's mind. Ariana pulled away from the kiss and tumbled herself to hit the street ground unconsciously, but Donnie quickly caught her in his arms.
Not long after April finally ran out of energy and passed out unconsciously to the ground from exhaustion that caught everyone's attention as well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the sewers, Ezra walked Vee to the lair while wrapping his arm around her shoulders. Vee leaned into him and still had tears falling down her face.
"Vee, I know you feel bad about what you do, but you saved April from the crystal." Ezra said.
"But Donnie's gone now." Vee sniffled. "He didn't deserve to die like that. He only wanted to save April and Ariana, but he never got to see them safe again."
"You know what he'd think right now?" Ezra said. "He would be very proud of what you did to save April."
"But about Ariana?" Vee asked, wiping her tears away. "We never saw her or if she's even okay."
"My magic aura powers told me she's fine." Ezra explained. "My sisters have already saved her. If you ever need me, I'll always be here for you."
"Thank you, Ezra." Vee smiled, sadly. "You're the best mage ninja I could have."
Ezra gave Vee a comforting hug and they both walked in the lair and didn't look up at the others in the living room.
"Venus De Milo. Ezra." Splinter said.
"Vee."
Vee and Ezra gasped and looked over to see Donnie sitting on the couch.
"Is it really you?" Vee asked, as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Come here, sis." Donnie nodded as he held out his arms for a hug.
Vee immediately ran to Donnie's arms as he embraced his younger sister while she was crying tears of joy and sadness.
"I thought I lost you." Vee cried before she looked up at her third oldest brother with a sigh. "D, about what I did to April-"
"It's not your fault. It was just another source of magic that caused this. Your magic is what saved her and everyone. I'm proud of you." Donnie said.
Vee widened her eyes and smiled.
"Donnie, you're okay!" Ezra said, with a smile as he ran over to quickly hug Donnie. "Good to have you back, D."
Donnie smiled and nodded. April groaned as she began to wake up.
"April? April?" Splinter said.
April opened her eyes when she heard the sound of Splinter's voice calling her name from the qdarkness and found Splinter standing above her in the lair.
"April!" Splinter called.
April sat up on a couch with a groan and turned to face her friends.
"I'm so sorry. I guess I should have listened to you about the crystal." April apologized. "Especially you, Donnie. I'm sorry for..."
"For what? Reducing me to a quantum smear? Yeah, still feel kind of whacked out of my head, but I'll be fine." Donnie assured.
"Vee, I'm so sorry for hurting your family...again." April apologized.
"April, I know that you think I hate you now, but you brought my brother back. Thank you." Vee said before she hugged April as she hugged her friend back.
"I am impressed, April. You literally destroyed your demons." Splinter said.
"She almost destroyed all of us." Raph murmured as he looked all bruised on the floor.
"Wait, where's Ariana?" April asked.
Casey pointed his finger at Ariana, who had her body laid on the floor. Kirana, Camilla, and Talia held their hands down on Ariana's chest as they enveloped their unconscious sister with bright glow of healing energy. Ariana's eyelid started to twitch and she snapped awake with a gasp. Kirana, Camilla, and Talia immediately moved their hands away when Ariana sat up.
"Whoa. What happened?" Ariana groaned.
"Ari!" Ezra smiled. "Your okay too!"
Ezra hugged Ariana.
"Ariana!" Talia smiled happily as she wrapped her arms around Ariana's neck and hugged her tightly. "I'm so glad you're back!"
"Back? From what?" Ariana asked.
"What are you talking about?" Camilla said. "You were possessed by Lyssa."
"Lyssa? One of the Four Dragoness?" Ariana inquired. "They perished in a battle years ago. There's no way they could have survive in this present time."
Kirana, Camilla, Talia, and Ezra exchanged confused looks before looking back at their sister.
"So, you literally have no memory of what happen today?" Kirana asked slowly.
"No." Ariana replied. "I was sleeping the whole time with this strange dream."
"Ariana, in your dream, do you even remember meeting a woman named Lyssa? The part of your two fighting for control when I was crazy with the Aeon crystal? And when you went on a violent rampage afterwards?" April asked curiously.
"Uh, no. Why would I?" Ariana replied with a raised eyebrow as she slowly got up from the floor. "How long did I sleep? And was I sleeping in Donnie's lab again?"
"Yes. Yes, you did." Donnie replied calmly.
"So, once again, you don't remember being controlled by the legendary Four Dragoness?" Kirana asked Ariana.
"No." Ariana replied as she shook her head.
"Fighting April when Za-Naron took control of her body?" Camilla asked.
"No." Ariana responded as she shook her head.
"Your first kiss with Donnie?" Talia asked unknowingly.
"No!" Ariana answered frustratingly. She then realized what Talia just said. "Wait a minute, Talia. What do you mean my first kiss with Donnie?"
Donnie blushed quickly with wide eyes.
"Talia!" Kirana and Camilla hissed as they quickly covered Talia's mouth with their hands.
"I knew it!" Ezra whispered to Vee before they fist bumped.
"You know Talia, Ariana." Casey chuckled quickly. "She just love to play around with crazy nonscene in her voice."
"Okay." Ariana said slowly. She noticed that the Aeon crystal isn't around April's neck. "But what happened to the crystal, April?"
"I was destroyed it." April replied with a smile.
"Really? Finally!" Ariana said with a relived smile.
"So what about your powers?" Leo asked April.
"They were always part of me." April replied. "I can't harness the power of the Aeons anymore, but I think I know how to control my powers better."
April raised her hand in the air to concentrate her psychic powers. Raph, Camilla, Casey, Mikey, Talia, Vee, Ezra, Macey, Norbit, Leo, and Kirana stepped back with a quick startle as they feared that April will turn her powers on them again. But April summoned her tanto blade's sheath from her back to her hand. Ariana stared at the others with a raised eyebrow in deep confusion, but the thought of having her first kiss with Donnie brought a small smile to her face. April looked down at her tanto blade and the Hamato Clan insignia on it.
"So at least some good came out of this." April thought as she smiled at her friends with satisfaction and pride.
