Later that evening the guys are sparring in the training room, with Splinter watching. All of the sudden, Splinter than gets an "I–have-an-idea" look, and walks off towards April's new room. When the guys stop sparring, Splinter tells them, "Continue sparring, I will be back." Splinter walks down a tunnel and enters a April's room, where April is tidying up her new home.
"I understand what you're going through, my child."
April looks up, surprised at the sudden intrusion. "Master Splinter!"
"It's not easy, losing the ones you love, your home, finding yourself with a new body."
"yeah…"
"But you are a tough girl, April. I know that you will find a way to get through this."
"I'm sure I will, too. I just don't know how long it'll take." Splinter looks at her, thinking.
"Come. I have an idea of something for you to do.
"Okay." April and Splinter walk off, and go into the training room, where the guys are still sparring.
"Ya-me!" At Splinter's "Ya-me" the guys stop sparring. "My sons, I think it would be a good idea for you to spar with April."
Leo looks at Master Splinter with confusion, saying with incomprehension, "Master Splinter?"
"You can help April to understand and learn to use her new abilities" He then nods towards April, and April steps into the training area, looking slightly uncertain about all this. "Come at her one at a time, and April, you avoid them. Ready?"
"Ready."
"Hajimai!"
First Leo goes at her, and she avoids him, and he crashes to the floor. Then Mikey comes at her and she blocks him, and he also hits the floor. Donnie reluctantly comes at April and she throws him onto the ground as well.
April winces, saying, "Sorry Donnie."
"T's all right, April" says Donnie from his position on the floor. As April is apologizing to Donnie, Raph throws a sai near her head. She closes her eyes, gives a little scream, and ducks her head. Suddnely, the world goes black for April. "Hey! Who turned out the lights?" The guys stare awkwardly at April, whose head has dissapered into her shell, then stare awkwardly at each other. Mikey goes up and knocks on April's shell, knock knock, "Hey, April?" April's head pops back up, revealing a very confused looking April.
"What? Just happened?" Everyone stares at each other awkwardly again before Leo replies,
"Uh, well… You sort of.. turtled." April stares with incomprehension, so Leo clarifies
"Well, when something's coming at our heads, we can duck them into our shells to protect ourselves. That's what just happened, see?"
April thinks hard about this,staring at the ground and looking like she's somewhere else. "Right… Well, let's get back to training."
"Right."
Up on the streets, the Kraang are still looking for April. "Kraang, has the location of the one who has escaped from Kraang been found by Kraang?"
"Negative. Kraang has found no trace of the one who has escaped from Kraang."
"Kraang must find the one who escaped from Kraang. Kraang must search harder."
Back in the lair, the guys leave for patrol, and April is left standing there watching them go. She and Splinter get to training with her fans.
For the guys on the roofs of New York, things are abnormally calm. "Any sign of the Kraang?" asks Donnie.
"Nope, but don't get too comfy, something doesn't feel right." "Stop being so paranoid" retorted the ever-rebelious Raph, "The Kraang have probably already given up looking for April."
Leo stares at him, mouth open to give a smart come-back, when hundreds of Kraang show up, armed to the teeth with every Kraang weapon the guys have ever encountered. The guys get their weapons out and ready.
"Oh, snap!" exclaims Mikey.
Yeah,Raph, they've defiantly given up looking for April" says Leo sarcastically.
"Shut up" snaps Raph.
As the Kraang start to open-fire, Mikey screams. Leo jumps in, and his brothers follow suit, Mikey with a "Booyahkasha!"
Back in the lair, April is practicing on a dummy with her fans as Splinter watches. Her T-phone rings, and Splinter lets her stop to answer it.
"Hello?" During the heat of battle in the streets, Mikey's T-phone accidentally called her, and she hears the heat of the battle.
"Aaaaah! We're gonna die! They're everywhere! Aaahhh!" April shuts off her phone and turns to leave saying, "I have to go."
Splinter stares at her steadily. "Are you sure?"
"The guys need my help. And this time, I'm not just a helpless little girl." As April is leaving, Splinter calls to her. "Good luck, my student!"
In the battle in the streets, things aren't going well for the guys. They're burnt and bruised, and starting to lose hope with the odds so stacked against them. What would Captain Ryan do in a case like this? wondered Leo. He put on a brave leader face, trying to keep everyone motivated. "Keep fighting, guys. Don't give up!"
"I don't know if we're going to win this one, Leo" panted Donnie.
"We have no way to run, so we have to keep fighting."
"We're so doomed…" despaired Mikey.
They keep fighting, taking out more Kraang droids than they ever have in a single fight, but it's not enough. There are still at least fifty Kraang droids intact, just when it starts to look like all hope's lost, two Kraang droids spark and fall to the ground, their circuits slashed by two fans. "Looking for me, Kraang-creeps?!" yells April as she jumps down from a nearby fire escape.
All the guys look at her with amazement, exclaiming, "April?!" With their numbers now increased with April's help, the remaining Kraang droids are defeated. Exhausted, but happy to be alive a five turtles return to the roof tops. When he finally catches his breath, Leo says, "Thanks, April, you really saved our shells back there."
"I wasn't about to stand by helplessly and let the Kraang obliterate my friends. Now, let's go home."
The End! I'm really hoping that something like this could actually happen, April getting mutated into a turtle and all. I heard rumors that Venus de Milo might be in the new series, so just maybe… Did you catch the Katara quote? April's played by the same actress as Katara, so I thought it would be cool to have her say something that Katara does. I don't know anything about fabrics or anything, I don't even know if you need any chemicals, but I needed a way to get her into Donnie's lab, so for this fanfiction's purposes you do have to use chemicals to tint fabric. That's pretty much it as far as author's notes go, I hope you enjoyed!
