The Power Inside Her
1 [thunder booming.]
[dramatic string music.]
Are you sure this is a good idea, Donnie? 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.
Don't worry.
I've upgraded it since then.
It's perfectly safe I promise.
Ahh! [groans.]
Your psychic powers have been expanding rapidly since you were given that Aeon crystal.
It's imperative I test its limits.
For your own sake.
I have it under control.
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.
I just need to examine your crystal.
No! I'm not taking it off.
Don't even ask again, Donnie.
It's safe, as long as I have it.
Hmm.
If I can replicate how this crystal increases your powers, that could provide a frame of reference Increase her powers? Don't worry.
Only slightly.
By maybe .
3%? [whirring.]
[ominous music.]
[indistinct whispering.]
April, let me know if you feel anything.
Okay? Tingling, headache [scoffs.]
I told you, I'm fine.
Just leave the crystal [shouts.]
Ahh! [screaming.]
Gah! I knew this was a bad idea.
Ahh! [growls.]
[shouts.]
[rousing hip-hop music.]

[grunts.]
What are you guys Huh? - [April groans.]
- Oh, no.
April! [April groans.]
Whoa! Are you guys having another super-smash dance party without me? She's out, but she seems okay.
We've got to get this away from her.
Huh? Oh! The crystal Whoa.
I got it.
That should hold it, for now.
What happened in here? April? It's that alien crystal.
It's been messing with her head.
That crystal has a strong hold on both her mind and spirit.
It has become too dangerous.
Sensei's right.
I need to break its connection with her.
Somehow.
I will tend to her in the dojo.
Perhaps the mantras will help.
I got her, Sensei.
[thunder booms.]
I can't believe Raph left me on foot patrol alone.
Eh, nothing really happening.
Wait, what's this? Careful with that shipment.
There isn't much left and Shredder needs every last drop to maintain his mutation.
Man, Super Shredder must have got really messed up I gotta call Raph! Mutagen? Okay, sit tight.
We're on our way.
And don't do anything stupid like try to take them on all by yourself again.
Casey Jones makes no such promises.
We gotta move.
Casey spotted Shredder's goons wrestling up some mutagen from an old Kraang lab.
Let's go.
Donnie? I need to keep an eye on this crystal.
It's too dangerous to leave unattended.
And I have to find a way to sever its connection to April.
Let's get a move on.
What's taking the guys so long? [engine turns over, car starts.]
[gasps.]
[tires squeal.]
Once again, it's up to Casey Jones to save the day.
[grunts.]
Eh? What? That vigilante idiot! Whoa! [horn blares.]
Ah! Ah.
Wha Whoa! Ah, nuts.
[horn blares.]
If Shredder wants that mutagen, you're gonna have to go through me first! [grunts.]
[growls.]
I want to finish this one.
.
personally.
[groans.]
Wha ah.
[roars.]
Glad I saved this baby.
[grunts.]
[groans.]
Say "what's up" to Shredder for me! No! After him! [electricity crackles.]
[electricity crackling.]
This is strange.
But I think I'm beginning to get it now.
[winces.]
[moans.]
[thunder rumbling.]
Hmm? [gasps.]
[gasps.]
[gasps.]
My my crystal! Where's my crystal? April, calm down.
Donatello is examining it while you rest.
No! No, it's mine! I need it! - April.
- [gasps.]
You are addicted to that alien stone.
You do not need its power.
You must break its hold on you Now! [thunder rumbles.]
[crunching.]
Whoa! Oh, no.
No, no, no! [grunting.]
[clattering.]
Ah! [gasps.]
April.
What are you doing? [choking.]
April, you must hear me.
This being wants to control you.
Fight it! [groans.]
Master Splinter, I I can't fight her.
She's too strong.
[grunts.]
- April, stop! - [laughing.]
You have to control it.
No! [rattling.]
[dramatic music.]
[lightning crackles.]
[laughs.]
I'm free! I can feel the power of this city.
So many lives.
Look at them.
Like insects.
[gasps.]
Wha How did I get up here? I was in the lair, but I Now you are where you were meant to be, among the stars.
[distant screaming.]
These people so many.
I can hear them mentally crying out, begging for help.
There are so many more who need to be punished.
They are causing endless pain and suffering.
Get rid of the pain, and this world will flourish.
[grunts.]
Yes.
I understand.
I have to save them.
I-I can save all of them.
[gasps.]
[horn blares.]
Casey! [gasps.]
Huh? Ha-ha! Yeah! Eat it, Footbots! Ah! Ahh! [tires squeal.]
[grunting.]
[groans.]
[crash.]
Ah! - [roars.]
- Ahh! [growls.]
I tire of you, boy.
Ah! [grunts.]
[growls.]
[thunder booms.]
- Eh? - Hmm? [chuckles.]
This menina will be no problem.
Whoa! [growls.]
[screams.]
Ah! [grunts.]
[growls.]
Your parlor tricks won't stop me, girl.
[roars.]
[growls.]
[grunts.]
[groans.]
[grunting.]
Ahh! April? What happened here? [April grunts.]
[groaning.]
Where am I? Why am I here? That's what I was gonna ask you.
[groans.]
April! Where are you going? [grunts.]
[groans, gasps.]
Sensei! [grunts.]
I will be fine.
April? I should never have tried testing that crystal.
She possesses a power I have never seen before, but it is not your doing.
I fear she can no longer control it.
I have to get that necklace away from her and destroy it.
Somehow.
Please, be careful, my son.
That being was not April.
I can get through to her, Sensei.
I know I can.
[somber music.]
[all grunt.]
[pants.]
Aw, nuts! Still beat me.
[groans.]
Mm.
What's happening to you? I thought Donnie and Splinter were looking after you.
I guess.
I don't remember! Ah! [groaning.]
It's that crystal! It has some seriously bad juju, dudes! It's changing you, April.
[dramatic music.]
There is no April only Za-Naron.
[grunting.]
[beeping.]
[thunder booms.]
What do you mean, you're not April? Who is Za-Naron? I am the Soul of an Elder Aeon, one of the First Seven.
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.
- Wha! - Ahh! [all shouting.]
[grunting.]
Donnie! April! Foolish mortal.
[grunts.]
Stay out of my way.
[grunts.]
April, it's me, Donatello! Donnie? Ahh! [groaning.]
Listen to me.
Give me the crystal.
Just give me the crystal - and everything will be okay.
- No! Ah! Donnie! - Donnie! - Donnie! [grunting.]
[Donnie shouting.]
This isn't you, April! That crystal is changing you! You need to break free! Ah.
It's too much power.
I-I can't control it anymore.
[groans.]
You can do it! I know you can! I'm not strong enough.
Donnie, I'm sorry.
April? Please.
[grunts.]
[roars.]
April! Please! [electricity crackling.]
[high-pitched ringing.]
- Donnie! - Donnie! - Oh, my gosh! - No! [high-pitched ringing.]
[dramatic music.]
[lightning crackles.]
[screams.]
[lightning crackling.]
[all screaming.]
[all grunting.]
[growls.]
[lightning crackling.]
She's gone.
What do we do, Leo? What just happened? Is Donnie gone? [sighs.]
Poor Donnie.
[somber music.]
[groaning.]
[grunting.]
[groaning.]
Ah.
No! Donnie.
I can't believe it.
How could I? 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.
[gasps.]
This is Dragon Territory, grandma.
If you wish our protection [lightning crackles.]
[laughing.]
[screams.]
[laughing.]
[laughing.]
Come to play, girl? [grunts.]
[all groaning.]
Impressive tricks.
Ever think of joining the Purple Dragons? [lightning crackles.]
No.
Wha! [grunts.]
[panting.]
You can't do this, April! Or Za-Naron, or whoever you are! Do not stand in my way, or you will be cleansed just as Donatello was.
[groans.]
We have to stop her.
Well, what if April is still in there? Are you kidding? I don't like it, but April O'Neil is gone.
We have no choice.
We take her down! [grunts.]
[both straining.]
Do it! Hurry! I can't hurt her, dude.
Ahh! [strains.]
[crunching.]
[laughing.]
[groaning.]
[both straining.]
[grunting.]
We know you're in there, Red.
We're your friends! Your family! Remember who you are! You are April O'Neil.
Remember everything we've been through together.
Yeah, like the time we fought a giant mutagen man? And our dope missions in space.
And Master Splinter.
And pizza parties.
And Ice Cream Kitty.
[straining.]
[growls.]
No! Ahh! [panting.]
[growls.]
Wha! [growls.]
Ahh! Remember Donnie.
[grunts.]
We don't the power to destroy the crystal.
Only you do, April.
[screams.]
[screaming.]
[screeches.]
[screaming.]
Ahh.
[screeches.]
Foolish creature.
[gasps.]
You could have had all the power of the universe.
[screeches.]
[shouts.]
No! [thunder rumbling.]
Red, is that really you? I think so.
But but Donnie.
What have I done? It's not your fault, April.
But it is! It was all me in a way.
If only [gasps.]
Donnie's not gone! He wasn't really destroyed, just molecularly scattered.
[groans.]
- Yeah! - Bro! Donnie! Thank goodness.
[sighs.]
April? April? April.
[groans.]
[gasps.]
I'm so sorry.
I guess I should have listened to you about the crystal.
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.
I am impressed, April.
You literally destroyed your demons.
She almost destroyed all of us.
What about your powers? They were always part of me.
I can't harness the power of the Aeons anymore, but I think I know how to control my powers better.
- Whoa! - Ah! So at least some good came out of this.
[dramatic string music.]
Are you sure this is a good idea, Donnie? 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.
