Casey tells Raph that April knew them when they were regular turtles, but there isn’t any time for that now, as the Turtles hit the streets. Leo orders his brothers to split up and search for Hob and Splinter just as Casey arrives to introduce them to April. The Turtles waste the last of the Mousers and Don finds Hob’s remote. The Mousers hone in on a single Turtle and are unprepared when three pop out of “nowhere”. Being a genius, April follows him.Īnd in those very sewers, Don's plan works like a charm. In an alley, April parks her Volkswagen and Casey tells her that there’s something in the sewers she has to see. Don tells his brothers to get in a single file line behind him so as to hide their numbers (like the Sand People from “Star Wars”!) and hope to confuse them. Don realizes that the Mousers are operating via a form of radar honed in on their specific shapes. When she mentions a rat named “Splinter”, Casey realizes April may need to see something.ĭown in the sewer, the Mousers are on autopilot and they’re still trashing the Turtles. Casey asks April why she needs self defense lessons and April tells him about the ninja break-in at Stockgen. April explains that her dad recently had a stroke, but her parents didn’t want her to come home and take care of him, as her scholarship was too important. Casey explains about his mom dying and his dad being a no-good drunk. As he leaves, though, he fails to notice that he’s dropped his Mouser remote.Īt a donut shop, Casey and April trade life stories. And finally, he leaves Stockman with a very grim warning: Get the sample back very soon, or die.ĭown in the sewer, Hob succeeds in overwhelming Mikey with more Mousers and makes off with Splinter in a smokescreen. Secondly, his enemies on Neutrino are the only ones with certain technical knowledge he needs, but as they’re rebelling, he has no choice but to deal with Stockman in the meantime. Firstly, the ninja organization are a meaningless distraction and not even on his radar as a genuine threat to his mission of global conquest. Krang decides he’s had enough of Baxter’s prattling and lays down the law. Baxter also fears that the rival ninja organization that raided the lab has found a means to perfect the psychological instability problems that come with the tainted mutagen they stole, as he’s heard reports of a mutant fox-woman running around that is in her right mind. Unfortunately, Hob and the mutated turtles cannot have their sample extracted, as they absorbed a tainted batch only the rat can be used, as his dosage was carefully injected and monitored (however, he admits the Turtles might be useful if captured). He explains that Hob should be back soon with the rat, who contains the mutagen and psychotropic drug samples they need. In his apartment on the Upper West Side, Baxter Stockman entertains General Krang. From behind a pile of debris, Old Hob waits for his chance to pounce. Recovering, Don jumps back into battle, leaving Mikey to try and get Splinter’s unconscious body to safety. Down in the sewer lair, Leo implores Raph and Mikey to join him in fending off the killer Mousers, as Don and Splinter are down for the count.
