bright crackle of energy coiled around her like a glowing rope. It was the Dark Ninja Robot’s plasma whip!
    â€œLet me go!” April pleaded.
    She tried to wriggle free, but it was no use. The Dark Ninja Robot was much too strong.
    She waited for the robot to finish her off. Lucky for her, it had a sophisticated ID scanner. It quickly recognized her.
    â€œSystem override,” the Dark Ninja Robot announced. “Do not destroy April O’Neil. Capture for the Kraang!”
    And with that, the Dark Ninja Robot activated its thrusters and began to fly away with April in tow!
    Karai gasped. This wasn’t the plan! Using her spear, she knocked the robot off its flight path, bringing it and April to the ground with a thud.
    The Dark Ninja Robot studied Karai. “Threat detected,” it announced. “Eliminate threat.”
    Karai backed up cautiously.
    Seeing his opportunity, Donnie ran past the robot to April.
    â€œAre you okay?” he asked, helping her up.
    â€œFor once,” April began with a relieved smile, “I’m actually glad the Kraang want to kidnap me.”

Meanwhile, inside the
Shellraiser
, the other Turtles kicked their rescue efforts into high gear with the help of their best tracking device. They finally had a bead on April’s coordinates.
    â€œLeft, Leo!” Raph barked from his navigation station. “The signal’s getting stronger!”
    Leo turned the wheel hard, banking around a corner and into a park. It wasn’t long before the
Shellraiser’s
headlights flashed on a familiar figure … the Dark Ninja Robot! The metal warrior was gaining ground on April and Donnie.
    Leo hit the brakes, cut the wheel, and sent the
Shellraiser
spinning into a high-speed three-sixty. At fifty miles per hour, the vehicle was like an unstoppable wrecking ball of pure steel, slamming into the Dark Ninja Robot and sending it flying through the air. It hit a nearby brick wall with a crash, the impact frying some of its core circuits.
    â€œOh, yeah!” Mikey cheered. “Firing manhole covers!”
    Mikey squeezed the trigger and opened fire on the Dark Ninja Robot. A barrage of manhole covers bounced off the robot’s face.
    Mikey screamed, “Eat it, Chrome Dome!”
    The Dark Ninja Robot suddenly stood up, alert. It shook off the damage and activated its heat vision, slicing the incoming manhole covers with ease. The iron disks fell to the cement in cauterized lumps.

    Now it was the robot’s turn. It lashed out with its plasma whip, catching Mikey off guard in an electrically charged corkscrew. The robot tore Mikey away from his cannon and threw him aside.
    Leo and Raph leaped out after him not a moment too soon. The robot made a beeline toward the van and flipped it over. It bounced off a wall with a crash.
    Leo watched the
Shellraiser
roll to a halt. It was scrap metal now. “Aw, I just waxed her,” he groaned.
    It was then that the Dark Ninja Robot resumed its target practice with Karai. The robot went after her with everything in its arsenal: heat vision, plasma whip, and plasma sword.
    It was an impressive sight, and Mikey geeked out accordingly.
    â€œDude, I so want plasma
nunchucks
,” Mikey said, salivating over the robot’s sizzling weapons. And then, looking up at his tech-savvy brother, Donnie, he added, “Can you hook a Turtle up?”
    But Donnie wasn’t listening. He was focused on one thing: the exposed wiring on the robot’s back! It must have come loose when the
Shellraiser
banged into it. Maybe this cybernetic warrior had a weak spot after all!
    â€œGuys,” Donnie announced, “I think I know how we can take that thing down!”
    Though it was welcome news at that moment, the other Turtles were still sore about Donnie’s bailing on them back at the Kraang lab.
    â€œOh, are you on this team?” Raph said with a smirk.
    â€œYeah, way to ditch us, dude!” Leo piled
