At an abandoned pier on the west side of the city, the three criminals were putting their new mutated bodies to the test. Bebop punched a hole in the side of a shipping container. Then he turned to Rocksteady and bumped fists. "My man!" Rocksteady said, "We're invisible!" To demonstrate, Rocksteady charged headfirst into a concrete wall. Bebop snorted with delight, "My man!"

Snake Eyes came away from the collision with a piece of concrete stuck on her bust. "Get it off! Get it off!" she yelled, jumping around with her legless body. If that was not the case, Snake Eyes is still a reptile. Bebop started to pull the concrete off Snake Eyes' bust, but then he felt the presence of Shredder nearby, Bebop and Rocksteady straightened up and faced their new boss. Snake Eyes slithered up. "Master Shredder!" Snake Eyes said. Shredder didn't answer.

He turned to Karai and said, "I'm taking these three to go retrieve the first piece needed to open the portal. You recover the canister of purple ooze from police headquarters At all costs." Karai thinks for a moment. "We have confirmation, Master Shredder. The canister of purple ooze is at police headquarters."

Shredder nodded his head. "Take a team. Recover it at all costs. I'll retrieve the first piece needed to open the portal."

"How many men do you want?" Karai asked. This job is too important for just men.

"I'm bringing with me the next generation of finely tuned combat soldiers."

Back at the lair, it was unusually quiet in their home beneath the streets of the city. Each sea turtle thought about their fractured state and what they should do about it.

From a high spot in the lair. Splinter looked down, watching his silent daughters, very concerned. From above, Shira was on the top of her treehouse. She lifted up something from her pocket to reveal the photo of Raph and his deceased brothers. I missed them. It's been two years since they died when the Foot clan found them and harvested their blood. She wiped her tears away, missing them.

Then, all of a sudden, Tomoka appeared with an eyedropper filled with purple mutagen. "Shira! Shira Shira Shira Shira Shira. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my God," she tried to say. "This is amazing! Shira, okay. You're not gonna believe this. Okay, I made a solution from a sample of the purple ooze, right, to expedite analysis of the isotope? But while I was waiting for it to catalyze."

Shira followed Tomoka to a corner as she lifted up the eyedropper.

"I started thinking. if the purple ooze can turn humans into animals, perhaps if properly reengineered. Watch this. Watch this." Tomoka dropped a small drip onto his hand. Immediately the body of her hand began to change into five fingers. "It could turn us.... into humans."

Shira's eye went wide. She remembered the time that she saved Leo, Mikey and Donnie when they were drained of blood, and she remembered that she and her sisters saved them by transferring their blood into them and mutated into sea turtles due to the mutagen. But the three brothers didn't make it. "If we could get our hands on more of this stuff, it could be life changing!"


Shira stared at Tomoka's hand in awe. But after a few seconds, her hand reverted back into her three fingers. "We don't need that kind of change," Shira said

"Okay. You're right. To blend in with humans could compromise our strategic advantage. We have a system that works. We shouldn't mess with the formula," Tomoka said, frowning.

"It is true," said Tomoka. "But it can be dangerous to touch it."

"And Tomoka. Listen," Shira said, firmly. "You can't say a word of this to the others." The Hawksbill hesitates. She didn't like keeping information from her sister, but they agreed. But in the shadows, one had heard the whole thing.
