Back with Donnie's team, they were running from the vengeful spirit who had possessed Mikey.
"This doesn't feel like we're accomplishing anything." Gracie said. "We're just running from our own problems."
"No one wants to fight an evil spirit trapped in Mikey's body." Donnie said. "The best thing we can do right now, is to find the others."
"Donnie, up ahead!" Callie suddenly called out.
"Huh?"
But it too sudden. Leo's team had suddenly ran up to Donnie's team as both teams collided with each other and everyone fell to the ground in a sudden crash.
"There you guys are!" April said. "Where the heck were you guys?"
"We're being chased by a ghost who took possession of Mikey!" Elexa said.
"I didn't think ghosts could take over his mind." Raph said. "There's not much there to control."
"Jokes aside, where is he?" Leo asked. "Is he following you?"
Donnie looked behind them and noticed that they were done being chased.
"Oh, he's not. . . he's not following us anymore." Donnie said.
"Where did he go?" Callie asked, starting to sound freaked out.
Suddenly, a secret door opened up in a wall next to them. It wasn't what anyone was expecting, but here it was.
"Another room?" Gracie said in shock by what she was seeing.
"That must be the secret lab." Makayla said.
"Secret Lab?" Donnie asked in confusion.
"Oh. . . we met a ghost girl and her mother and they told us about the other guy's secret lab." Jake said. "This is where we think Shane and Casey went missing to."
"I can't see dip." Mars said. "Is there a light in there?"
Jake walked inside the dark room and looked along the walls until he found a switch.
"I found a switch." Jake said. "But. . . just be ready for what you're about to see."
With that said, Jake flipped the switch and the whole room lit up. And sure enough, it appeared to be a scientist's lab. There were test tubes and chemicals all over the place. There even a couple of jars with body parts inside of them.
"Holy Toledo!" Donnie said in pure shock, but also a hint of amazement. "Now *this* is a lab for for a true scientist!"
"More like a mad scientist." Raph said as he looked at a jar of eyeballs, which suddenly looked right back at him. "Acgh! What the shell?!"
"This madman must've been doing crazy experiments when he was alive." Jake said. "But what was he trying to do accomplish?"
"Guys, look over here!" Callie suddenly called for them.
Everyone looked to where Callie was telling from. And they were shocked when they saw Shane and Casey unconscious in a corner of the lab.
"We found them." Mars said. "They were here the whole time?"
"Someone must've knocked them out when they were captured." April said.
"Or something!" Makayla said. "There's only dead people in this house! The only thing that could do this are those ghosts!"
"While we may be ghosts, there's still a lot we can get accomplished." Mark's voice suddenly said from behind, causing them all to turn around, to see 'Mikey' walking up to them. "Especially if we've got a body to work with."
"What did you do?" Leo asked.
"Nothing. . . yet." Mark said with a smirk. "You see, I'm a mad scientist. I'm practically the textbook definition of evil! I didn't have a bad childhood. . . I didn't lose a loved one. . . I'm just the way I am. . . because!"
"Well, that's a load to admit." Mars said.
"What do our friends have to do with it?" Jake asked.
"Oh, it's not just them." Mark said. "It's all of you! With my genius, I have created a machine that can transfer parts of my conscious into multiple people! Just enough to turn them to the dark side!"
"Again. . . that's a load to admit." Mars said.
"But ever since I died, I couldn't use my machinery." Mark said. "And all the subjects who crossed my path weren't good enough! But you guys. . . especially the one with the blue hair. . . you're all the perfect subjects to control."
"Why do you want to control us?" April asked.
"Well, I've always had this dream of a perfect world." Mark said. "A world of despair and destruction! But to get that, I needed something. And you fools have brought it right to me!"
With that, Mark pointed at Jake as a robot arm suddenly came out of nowhere and stuck a needle into Jake's arm.
"Ow, what the hell?!" Jake cried out as the robot arm took a blood sample and carried it over to the main work area.
"With this blood. . . I will create a mind control serum even more powerful than those on Television!" Mark said, walking up to his work station. "Pay attention, fools! You're about to witness history!"
Without another warning, Raph suddenly came in and kicked Mark (in Mikey's body) down and swiped the blood sample from his desk.
"If you want to do this, you'll have to fight us for it!" Raph said with a smirk on his face as he jumped backwards with the others.
"Raph, are you crazy?!" Mars said. "We don't even have a plan!"
"You dirty creature!" Mark said, angrily as he stood up. "I'll make sure you pay for that!"
"Well, now you've gone and done it, Raph." Donnie said.
Mark then took out Mikey's nunchucks and swung them around, ready to fight them all on his own.
"I don't want to hurt Mikey." Makayla said. "Surely, we can talk him out of this, right?"
"The whole city will be at stake, otherwise." Jake said. "I don't want to have to do this, but. . . we have to take down this evil genius!"
"Then come at me!" Mark said with a smirk. "If you dare. . ."
