Within the Woods

I'll never forget the night we left New York City. [Shrieks.] This is so metal! [Shrieks.] The Kraang defeated us. Leo got badly hurt. Master Splinter is. gone. We lost. We had nowhere left to go. So we came to the old farmhouse I grew up in, miles away from the city a place we could all be safe in. The first thing we did was take care of poor Leonardo. [Faucet turns off.] This will keep him hydrated, help him heal faster. Raphael keeps a constant vigil over Leo, waiting for him to wake up. [Humming old MacDonald had a farm.] Michelangelo goofs around a lot, but he does a ton of chores around the house. Ooh. [Chickens cluck.] Back off, chickens. That's all I got. Easy, easy. [Screams.] Help! Aah! [Chickens clucking.] But mostly, he goofs around a lot. Donatello built a lab in the barn, trying to create a mutagenic medicine to heal Leo. One last drop, and I think I've done it. Aah! [Laughs.] This baby's gonna need a lot of work. [Wrench turns.] Aah! [Laughs.] And then there's me, April o'Neil. I spend most of my time training with the Turtles and writing in my everexpanding journal. I miss New York, my Sensei, my dad. Hopefully Leo will recover, and we can all go home soon, if there's even a home to go back to. But life, as Master Splinter would say, must continue on. [ninja shouts.] Huh! [Blows landing.] [Swords clinking.] Goongala! [Both grunting.] You gotta be quick to train with ninjas. Sorry, April. [Both grunt.] I'm almost a fullon Kunoichi. Aw, yeah! Gotta be quick if you wanna be hanging with the ninjas, dog. [Ninja shouts.] Sweet moves, Donnie. Eat this. Ow! Cheap shot! - Gah! - Yah! [Both grunting.] Okay, you two. Enough! You guys are acting like a bunch of caged animals. We're just blowing off a little steam, red. Yeah, things are just kind of tense lately. Right, old friend? You got that right, old pal. We're all just a little frustrated, April. No offense, but we're Turtles. We don't belong in a farmhouse. We belong in the sewers. Okay, not entirely accurate but, uh, apropos. Yeah, that's all good. But like Master Splinter would say, we must accept the hand that the universe has dealt us. Wow, that's deep, yo. Master Splinter's gone, Mikey, and Leo May never wake up. The universe dealt us a terrible hand. [Water drips.] [Sighs.] All right. Quiet down, everybody. It's time for my new favorite show. [Exciting music.] Graah! [Laughs.] Graah! Crognard, my magic is tingling. I sense danger. Oh, no. Slug people. Greetings, travelers. We, the Slug people, bring you tidings of peace and Attack! [Grunts.] Ooh! [Grunts.] Mm, Pooch scared of creepy Slug people. Spooch Spooch. No! Crognard will use Spooch as bait! Spooch! Now, wizardess, Graah, destroy! [All grunting.] Guys! Guys! Get up here! Leo? [Raspy.] Hey, guys. - Leo! - It's okay, Mikey. You're back! - Ow. - Dude! Okay, that hurts. Take it easy. Let us get you out of here. So we've been here for three months? I've been out that long? You had us worried sick, Leo. Raph barely slept. That was nothing. So, like, why does he sound different? He sustained damage to his throat and pretty much everywhere else, for that matter. [Groans.] Here. Take some more of my special patented mutagen medicine. You'll be healed in no time. [Swallows.] Oh, that tastes like it's supposed to come out of me, not go into me. First thing tomorrow, we're gonna start training again, you and me. I'll have you on your feet in no time, bro. Come on, Leo, you gotta build up those muscles. You've gotten super weak. Don't rub it in. Aah! [Grimacing.] I don't think I'm I don't think I'm ever gonna be the same again. Don't talk like that. That's not the Leo I know. Now, come on. Let's cross this creek. [Grunting.] [Groans.] [Slowmotion.] Leo? Oh, man. Oh, I'm gonna [vomits.] You okay, Leo? I think it's that medicine Donnie gave me. I'm not feeling too good. Come on. Let's get back to the farmhouse. You need some rest. [Ominous music.] Maybe he's not really gone. We saw it happen. Shredder threw him down a drain pipe. Maybe Leo's right. I mean, Splinter was a great ninja Master. The greatest in a century. [Exciting music on tv.] Hey, dudes, the show's starting. Aah! Aw, man. You gotta be kidding me. It's just a blown fuse. I'll fix it in two shakes of a turtle's tail. [Wind blows.] Great. Looks like we need more firewood. Are you kidding? [Wolf howls.] [Grunting.] [Exhales.] [Grunting.] [Exhales.] What was that? [Leaves rustle.] Who's there? [Sighs.] Just a deer. Phew. Easy, Raph. Don't get paranoid. [Screaming.] Raph! He's been gone for hours. Raph! Raph! Can you hear us?! Don't you think he'd answer? All right, we split up. April and Casey, you guys take that way. Mikey and Donnie, you take that way. Split up? Are you loco, homey? April and Casey go off alone? Together? Mikey and Donnie, you take that way. [Groans.] What about you? I'll wait at the farmhouse in case Raph comes back. I won't be much help out there, anyway. [Chuckles.] I've always hated these woods at night. When I was a kid, I was sure monsters were gonna creep out and eat me. Aah! [Bat shrieks.] No monsters here, red, unless you count Casey Jones. [Howls.] [Grunts.] Nice. Good arm. [Twigs rustle.] So what's the deal, red? You've been cold as ice to me ever since we left New York. That's not true. It's just What do you want, Casey? Our families are gone, most likely mutated. New York is alien [groans.] What is it? You getting some bad vibes again? Ii think something's watching us. Come on. Let's keep moving. Raph! Raph! [Sighs.] I don't know, D. You think he got lost? Maybe he got eaten by a rabid squirrel. I do not think that, no. I'm just freaking because Casey and April went off on their own. Alone. Why? Because they forgot to bring a compass? No, genius. What happens when two teenagers who like each other go out into the woods alone? [Squirrels chittering.] Aah! They get eaten by squirrels. You know what? Forget I said anything. [Owl hoots.] Hello. What's this? [Door creaks.] Let's check it out. You first. [Door creaks.] Uh, hello? [Gasps.] Aah! Uh, hello? [Growls.] Both: Aah! [Growls.] Both: Aah! [Growls.] Oh. I think it's Raph. He's all leafy and weirdlooking. Like a salad! Something must have infected him. What? Aah! Holy chalupa! [Muffled screams.] Hold on. I'll cut you down. [Muffled cries.] Oh! Oof! [Gasps.] Aah! Donnie! [Screaming.] [Gasps.] [Screams.] [Gasps.] That's Donnie. [Gasps.] Casey? Casey! This isn't funny. Aah! Oh, no. [Grunting.] Let me go! [Grunting.] [Grunts.] Ugh. Ha! Aah! [Grunting.] Goongala! [Grunting.] Aw, man. [Grunting.] [Footsteps approach.] Casey! Aah! [Grunts.] [Panting.] Ugh! [Whimpers.] [Groaning.] Get on your feet, Leo. Stop whining and get up. [Grunting.] [Grunting.] Huh? [Groaning.] April? [Groaning.] Leo! [Grunting.] [Grunting.] Help! April! [Groans.] [Growls.] Both: Aah! Easy, Raph. Try and remember. We're your brothers. Ow! Yeah. You can come home with us and live in the attic. I'll give you growsticks and swamp water every single day. I swear. [Whimpers like a dog.] [Panting.] Phew. Aah! It's "the Creep"! That's what I named him. April! My poor sweet chinchilla. [Both groan.] [Whines.] Leave him alone! [Whines.] What's going - April, wake up! - Ugh. Huh? - Raph! - It's It's feeding off of him, like mutagenic fertilizer. No, no, no! Raph! [Gasps.] You turned my brother into a plant! You turned him into a plant! Let me go, Creep! I'll bash that mutagen straight out of you! Aah! Help. Help! Leo. [Door creaks.] Give me back my family, freak. [Grunting.] [Panting.] [Grunts.] [Muffled screams.] [Snarls.] [Groaning.] [Panting.] [Grunts.] [Roars.] [Wailing.] Leo! What the heck is that? It's Raph. Long story. Quick, get us out of here! - Yah! - Both: Aah! Yah! [Panting.] [All scream.] [All screaming.] [Howls.] - Aw, dude. - Booyakasha! [Ninja shouts.] [All grunting.] [Shouts.] Take that! [All panting.] [Both grunt.] [Both scream.] Huh? [Grunts.] [Growls.] [Grunts.] [Panting.] [Grunts.] [Screams.] Casey, grab the chains! [Both grunting.] Aah! [Muffled cries.] [Grunts.] That's what you get for messing with my mask, freak. That should hold him. Now, come on. We gotta get him back to the lab. You really think you can save Raph? Honestly, I don't know, Leo. I just don't know. [Groans.] Ugh. Yes! Oh, no. Raph. Look at him. It's terrible. What do you mean? He's perfectly normal. How about now, Mikey? Phew, yeah. Way better. [Grunts.] - What the heck is going on? - A crazy swamp monster sucked out your mutagen and turned you into a plant, dude. It was awesome! But I used this I. V. tube to drain all the mutagen out of the Creep and back into your body. Cool, right? Killed off the infection like a bad case of shell-acne. Ugh. Cool. Thanks, Don. So what happened to the monster? It got turned back into swamp goo. Pretty wicked, right? Donnie worked all night to save you. Leo never left your side. That's what brothers are for. [Squeals.] We gotta heal up, Raph. We have a city to take back. I give that a big, fat, sloppy, wet booyakasha! [Glass cracks.]

 * 1) I just can't stop thinking about Master Splinter.
