Why does the kraang want april

Donatello: Out of all the Turtles, Donnie is the one April is closest with. It was not the safest set to be on. Donatello is without a doubt the smartest among the turtles while also being the weakest, while Michelangelo is usually depicted as being the most carefree among the four.

Raphael , nicknamed Raph, is a fictional superhero and one of the four main characters of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics and all related media. Donatello has a noticeable gap between his front teeth. In the film, he is the youngest and the jokester of the group who loves playing video games and skateboarding.

Raphael is the first one out of the four turtles to get a girlfriend. Raphael is the only one out of four turtles whom did not flirt or fell in love with another girl, while Mona Lisa was not at present. He is the first turtle to show an anime style face. This incarnation of Michelangelo has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder predominantly inattentive ADHD-I , as confirmed in his bio.

April is immune to the mutagen because her body is able to produce antibodies to the Dimension X mutagen. Red-haired and perennially wearing a yellow jumpsuit, April is a reporter for Channel 6 News. Following a hot news tip, April is attacked. Seems kinda bush league, unless it was somehow rebuilt overnight. While it was clearly an annoyance for the Turtles, it was fun to see April fighting alongside the guys during their stealth mission.

There were some fun moments here too, like Mikey messing with the inactive android, and Donnie's quip to Raphael, " It's a Kraang sweet sixteen birthday party! How am I supposed to know!? Naturally, this was followed by the aforementioned skirmish, during which April was kidnapped and replaced with -- dun, dun, dun!

It was a cool and creepy visual to see all the many April's lining the walls in stasis pods. Less cool, though, was the April clone reject -- or "April Derp" -- that used flatulence and hugs to combat the Turtles. That's not to say an April clone reject wasn't a cool idea for a boss fight, it just ended up being more goofy and slapstick than usual. Still, the subsequent fight with all of the awakened April clones, and April singling herself out with her war fan, was a solid way to end the mission.

Bringing Kurtzman back at the end was also a nice touch. While at the store picking up supplies mostly food , they encounter the friendly but scary store owner Bernie. They then return to the farmhouse to find the Turtles all sleeping. They have no success in waking them up and April becomes worried about their vital signs which all appear to be weakening.

When Casey returns with Bernie from the store, she resorts to slapping them all in the face after nothing else works which causes her to start panicking. After Casey destroys the dream plug, the Turtles wake up with April kissing Donnie in relief and the Dream Beaver are released into the real world with the revelation that they're small plush toys.

They then leave and Bernie finally falls asleep. Casey and Donnie then remove Bernie from the farmhouse. Donnie asks Casey if April kissed him when he was fading away to which Casey replies by saying "keep dreaming".

She is driving back to the farmhouse with Donnie and Casey after grocery shopping. The two of them continue to argue which results in her stating that she wants them to get along and just have a quiet ride back home. Suddenly, they are attacked by Speed Demon who nearly runs them off the road.

They then return to the farmhouse and retell their encounter about the maniac driver to the turtles who were just watching the local news that reported it. April then tries to reason with Casey to not try and do something about it. She then massages Donnie's neck; after he states that it hurts from the incident which causes Casey to throw another tantrum as Donnie takes advantage of the situation and gives him a glare to make him jealous.

She and the Turtles are then given the big reveal show of the Hot Rod that Casey and Donnie worked on and outfitted with Kraang technology from the scout ship and the chicken's Dr. Cluckingsworth intelligence as a navigation system. They then decide to hunt down the maniac driver who is revealed to be a mutant and come up with a plan. After being informed by Casey about the car being a mutant and has taken possession of Donnie, they watch and try to figure out what to do as Casey and the mutant car race while being fairly matched.

As the mutant car tries to attack Donnie who Casey frees and Casey, they then slam into the car and send it flying off of the cliff and exploding while stating that it will return in the process. In the end, she is thrilled to see them getting along as they congratulate each other. However it is short lived as they obnoxiously begin to praise each other. April and Raph then look on dejectedly at the two and their new relationship which ends with April stating that she thought she was happy that they were finally getting along.

Donatello develops a helmet from the technology in the Kraang ship designed to augment April's telepathy. When she uses it, at first it produces images of a bird, a worm, and a fish, which Donatello believes are mistakes as she is supposed to be blindly seeing flash cards, when as it turns out she was peering into the mind of the yet to be seen Chimera. Then it unleashes an uncontrollable telekinetic reaction, then April begins to see clouds and loses control of her retinas.

Later when the Chimera attacks the farmhouse, she realizes that she developed a psychic link with the monster. When the Turtles leave to confront the Chimera , she stays behind with Leo, due to both of them being disabled. Though when Raph, Donny, and Mikey become trapped inside a geyser, she leads Leo to the Chimera's location, motivating him along the way. Once the Chimera is defeated and the psychic link broken, she regains control of her retinas and her sight returns.

As Donnie later apologizes for everything that happened April shushes him telling him that she has no regrets and that it was neat to see the world through somebody else's eyes.

The episode ends with the Chimera rising from the rubble. April, along with the gang, train by splitting logs. She then attempts to do the same but instead hits Casey who was holding the log for her to do it and knocks him to the ground.

She and the others are then informed about the expedition that the Turtles are about to take in order to connect to nature. It appeals to her as a idea of camping which she likes and disagrees with Casey about it being a bad decision. However, she doesn't succeed in joining the expedition as she is then exempted from the expedition by Leo who states that it's for ninjas only.

This upsets her, causing her to state that she's almost a fully trained Kunoichi but is informed by Raph that she's "almost fully trained" meaning not a ninja completely which upsets her a little. She then stays behind at the farmhouse with Casey which he likes but Donnie doesn't. At the end, she continues to train with Casey and finally manages to break the log. She then thinks that Casey has gawked at her accomplishment, only to turn around and see the Turtles who have also accomplished their spiritual quest return as they emerge from the forest while carrying a banner and their new gear.

She then wonders what happened out there. Leo then makes a declaration by stating that it's time and that they're going back to New York City. The episode opens with her and the team watching a episode of Crognard The Barbarian watch then gets interrupted by Channel 6 Breaking News which informs them and everyone else who's watching that New York City is off limits under military orders.

They all suspect this as they watch. April then states that the Kraang may have fooled everyone else but not them before she asks Leo what the plan is. They then go along with Donnie's plan of breaking into the city by breaking through the barriers by using a new vehicle. They convert the old van into the Party Wagon which now has weapons and equipment.

With the new van set up, they get ready to go back to the city. As they prepare to leave, she says goodbye to the old farmhouse before they depart. They then leave and make their way back to the city. While driving, they make a plan to park outside the gate and sneak inside so they can find Karai, Splinter and Kirby as well as take back the city. Suddenly, they discover that soldiers have every entrance into the city quarantined.

After talking to the soldiers, April notices that they all have Kraang mind control devices on their necks. Her statement causes Casey to drive the van while speeding and avoiding soldiers and dodging as well as shielding the vehicle as they attack them by firing their weapons at them and smash the Party Wagon through one of the barriers and right into the city.

Once inside, they see that everyone is gone. April then uses her powers and senses that there are only a few hundred people left in the city meaning millions of New Yorkers have vanished and have most likely been mutated by the Kraang. Suddenly, they run into Kraang soldiers who they easily take out and escape by using stink bombs and soda cannons. They then use the Shellraiser 's old access to the subway where they enter.

They then avoid some Kraang soldiers and mousers that patrol the area. April then gets asks by Donnie to use her powers to track down Splinter. April then states that since Splinter has become detached from his body, she has know idea what has happened to him.

The team decides to look for him at the lair where they come until contact with a Kraang security orb robot that begins to attack only to realize that it detected a scavenging rat. April then senses Splinter nearby and states he is somehow different. The rest of the gang then follow her and find Splinter who now appears to be acting a savaged rat instead of a master ninja and is attacking everything in his path.

They try to calm him down including stopping him from attacking Casey and biting his face. They then try to talk some sense into him but a mouser who survived his attacks calls for back up and Footbots appear. Despite their best efforts, Splinter is captured and taken to the Shredder.

The team then find an access tunnel that leads to Baxter's lab only to get attacked by one of his Mutant Shredder Clones who happens to be small. After a quick battle, they sneak in and find Splinter who's still acting like a rat and has been put into a containment cell that has been designed to look like a pet cage for small rodents. Casey then suggests that April should try to reach Splinter's mind like she did for the Turtles in the episode " In Dreams " which Donnie based on his research agrees could work.

Suddenly, they get spotted by Baxter himself who then unleashes his Mutant Shredder henchmen on them and tries to alert the Shredder which Mikey unfortunately does for him while fighting the mutant fly. While the Turtles fight, April attempts to reach Splinter by using her telepathy which begins to work as he starts to have flashbacks. Suddenly, he attacks Casey after he mistakes him to be the Shredder. He then attacks April and concerns her to a wall. Luckily from this range, her powers work more effectively and Splinter becomes himself again.

After their Sensei rescues them and easily takes out the Mutant Shredder henchmen, they rejoice in being a whole family. However, their reunion is short lived as the Shredder, Tiger Claw and Foot appear and interrupt them. Realizing that now isn't a good time to fight, they escape with Mikey using a smoke bomb as their cover.

While in the party wagon, they get attacked by Tiger Claw who they easily dispose of by using a concealed flamethrower attached to the van. They then drive out of the subway and into the city. They then use Antonio's Pizza-Rama as a new temporary home which was Mikey's idea. April then states that she's worried about her father as her powers give her a weird reading on him and the missing people.

She then states that it's like they're right around them and reaches for the front door of the restaurant. Suddenly, she sees her a bunch of mutated people including her dad who are being mind controlled and serving the Kraang by collecting special crystals and other resources within Dimension X. April appears in Antonio's Pizza-Rama where she, along with Splinter and Mikey, are cleaning up the restaurant that they're using as a temporary home. She, along with Mikey, then notice that something is bothering Splinter who's mind is preoccupied.

She then checks in on Donnie who's still working on the Retro-Mutagen. She then asks if it will work and hopefully make her dad human once more. Donnie then states that it will and it will turn everyone her dad, Karai and everyone else that was affected back into humans; Unfortunately, Splinter was in the room and heard his daughter's name which saddened him.

Suddenly, Casey, Leo and Raph return from a stealth mission to retrieve some of their old stuff from the lair. Splinter, who looks at his old family picture that they retrieved, states that his family will never be completed without his daughter. Everyone resolves to find her and decide to start searching. However, Leo states that April and Casey must both stay behind which causes April to state that they need them and Casey to say that Leo's just making him build up his rage and anger.

Leo then comes in and turns the TV for a meeting about searching for Karai who gave him a clue the word comet. April suggests that it's her hideout. Donnie then uses his laptop and comes up with three possible locations: a dry cleaner, movie theater or a roller coaster at Coney Island.

They then split up into teams of two, with Donnie giving everyone a canister of Retro-Mutagen if they find Karai so they can cure her. April gets teamed up with Donnie and they investigate the dry cleaner. However, unbeknownst to the both of them, she and Donnie have been sensed and are being sneaked up on by a mutated Anton Zeck who, along with Ivan Steranko , decide to get revenge on the Turtles for interfering with their plans of escaping the city and getting mutated by the Shredder.

They discover that Karai isn't at the dry cleaners when they arrive. Zeck, who's invisible, shows up and catches Donnie off-guard. April manages to score a hit on him effectively turning it off. Unfortunately, he traps April with some kind of sticky substance and stuns Donnie while also finding the retro-mutagen and Donnie's T-phone that he uses to discover where the others are in the process. He then informs Ivan about the other locations and tells him to head to them while he drives there in a tow-truck with April and Donnie in the back.

She, Donnie, and the others Casey and Raph who were captured by Ivan earlier are then locked in the back of the vehicle that Leo tries to unlock while Mikey distracts the two mutants. After a fight and confrontation with the two mutants which involved de-mutating Mikey, using the retro-mutagen to turn themselves human again and Karai showing up and attacking them which causes Ivan to drop the canister , Leo and Mikey free the others and split up to find the two mutants who have split up and are hiding in the amusement park.

She, Casey, and Donnie then go into the haunted house to find Bebop who is using his cloaking device to his advantage. He easily takes the boys out and states that he won't hit a girl but he will trip them to which he does to April. Donnie then throws a smoke bomb at Zeck revealing himself.

Donnie and Casey then take him down as they both score a hit on him. After the team take both mutants down, Leo calls out for Karai who reveals herself. He then sprays her with the Retro-Mutagen, but it has no effect on her. Donnie then states that her mutation is special. Leo attempts to convince her to come back with them but she declines saying that she's losing her mind meaning she's becoming more like a snake and it's too dangerous for her to be around others.

Leo then asks why she wanted them to find her to which she replies to by stating that she just wanted to say goodbye to them all before she jumps into the sea. Everyone is saddened by this and heads home. April first appears when she investigates the commotion that Donnie and Mikey make when Mikey finds a way to make more Retro-Mutagen in the lab in the back of the restaurant. She then appears crouched up in a corner of the restaurant when the team start to plan on how to save the mutated population.

She then tells them that they're in Dimension X as she's been having nightmares about them all in her dreams. She, along with Splinter and Casey, stay behind at the pizzeria as they take care of Jack J. Kurtzman who was attacked and injured by the Kraang earlier and attend to his wounds. She makes an appearance at the end of the episode after the Turtles and the Mighty Mutanimals de-mutate the people of New York and return them to Earth while defeating the Kraang in the process as well.

As she and Casey help Jack out of the restaurant, she sees her dad who once again is human and runs toward him. They then hug as they are once again reunited. She is seen volunteering at a soup kitchen alongside her father as they serve and feed the population of New York City as they clean up the city and get back to their regular lives after the Kraang invasion which was all narrated by Casey at the beginning of the episode.

She is first seen watching the news about Muckman that is being reported by Joan Grody with the Turtles and suggests that he's a hero while they see him as a threat. They then find and ambush him in a back alley.

Muckman then uses his powers to knock them down as he blames them for his mutation but April steps in and prepares to defend them using her Tessen but Muckman states he doesn't want to hurt her and flees from reporters and fans. April then tells the Turtles to disappear, which causes Mikey to throw down a smoke-bomb; unfortunately Joan manages to catch a glimpse of them and airs it on TV.

They all watch it and it enrages Splinter who grounds them all for being exposed. She then helps the Turtles escape the lair by distracting Splinter as she pretends to be in danger.

The Turtles then return to the lair after helping Muckman and defeating Bebop and Rocksteady and show Splinter a video of Muckman on TV who debunks any rumors about them existing. Splinter still angry at his sons for disobeying him and leaving the lair then punishes them all, including April, who tries to sneak away and out of the room, but fails as she is shocked and scared by a silent Splinter who's standing behind her. She is seen a couple of times in the lair, the first time training with Leo when Mikey asks if they want to hang out, then on her laptop, the third time she is calling Casey about homework, who is hanging with Mikey and not getting an answer.

The next time after Raph calls Casey without an answer she says Mikey is also not answering his phone. Finally, at the end, she sees Mondo Gecko and thinks he is cute, but is disgusted when he sticks his tongue out.

She is seen heading home with Casey after seeing a movie at the cinema. While walking, she begins to talk about being wary of everything that has happened but is glad to finally have her dad back.

Casey then pranks her by sneaking around and pops out to scare her. He then told her that the film they just saw was OK but if he was in it, he would have taken the main antagonist down by giving him one good kick.

She then tells him that her head fell off to see if he was paying attention as he was still messing around. Unbeknownst to the both of them, Kirby watches them suspiciously as they walk home.

Casey then asked her what her favorite part of the film was and she replies by saying the non-stop violence. Casey then told her that it was the fact that the main protagonist never gave up. He then wished her good luck in finding her head showing that he was paying attention. Later that night, she has a nightmare where she's at the cinema, knowing someone is there. She then demands that they show themselves and the cinema collapses behind her. Suddenly, a giant white snake rises and towers above her.

She then starts to run from the snake that begins to chase her. She then gets eaten by the snake which wakes her up from the nightmare. She wonders if it was all a dream and looks under her sheets. She then shockingly discovers that her bed is covered with snakes and begins to scream which Kirby who is downstairs hears. He quickly rushes up to her room and discovers her on the floor with a snake that quickly slithers away.

Kirby then takes her to the Lair and asks for help. He then explains how she was bitten by a snake while Donnie examines her and discovers some bite marks which scares him. Mikey wonders if she'll be alright as well. He later treats April and explains that her condition is getting worse which leads to Leo asking how poisonous snakes even got into her room. Donnie continues to treat her but explains that, unfortunately, none of the anti-venoms appear to be working or have any effect which means her life is at risk if they don't find a cure soon.

Donnie and Kirby continue to take care of April but nothing changes. Suddenly, Splinter enters the room and reveals that he has an ancient poison draining mantra that he says will save April. Kirby who's upset about his daughter current status becomes enraged and angrily blames Donnie for not curing her only for Leo to interrupt as he reveals that they have another problem which is Mikey, Raph and Casey all being bitten and captured by Karai and Footbots.

Splinter demands silence and begins the process of removing the poison from April's system which ends with Leo and Donnie leaving to go and rescue the others as he does this. Splinter then takes her and Kirby to the dojo and begins the mantra. While performing the healing hand on her, Kirby watches her heart rate rapidly change from high to low. As she's in pain, her dad becomes extremely worried as Splinter continues the mantra until her heart rate returns to normal.

Kirby then asks Splinter if he successfully removed all of the poison but he states that he only slowed down the process meaning that April isn't out of the woods just yet. Splinter then tells April and her dad that he can only stall the poison but it's up to her to fight back and get rid of it for good.

Kirby states that he wants to take her to a hospital but Splinter refuses as he tells him that there is no cure for the venom and the mantra is the only thing that can save her now. Splinter then performs the healing hand on her again as does Leo who uses it to defeat Karai and save the others. After saving the others, Leo brings them back to the lair, where he and Splinter use the healing hand to heal them all as April and Kirby watch.

April the realizes that it was Karai who did it all. Donnie then states that she is under the Shredder's control so she shouldn't be blamed for the attacks or her actions. She appeared briefly in a photo that the Turtles had.

She, along with Casey, began to vanish as the Turtles attempted to save Splinter and not mess with time. She is seen in the lair aiding to Raph's knee injury. She, along with the others, are forbidden from any more missions by Template after the Turtles last failed attempt to steal a mind-control worm from the Shredder's lair. After watching the Mega Shredder on the news, Splinter allows them all to leave. She, along with Donnie , Raph, and Casey , use the Turtle Mech to take on the Mega Shredder on the streets as it rampages through the city.

With help from Leo and Mikey , they manage to defeat it and destroy it by launching a toxic barrel which it eats and causes it to completely explode. She is fighting Leo in the dojo while Splinter congratulates her on her skills. She then begins to worry about Donnie , who begins to act weird. She then goes to he lab with him to give him a fresh DNA sample only for them to discover that the lab has been trashed by the Creep who has escaped from the confinement of the jar he was encased in.

She then begins to worry more about him when he starts to forget things and accidentally calls Mikey "Raph". She then goes to the freezer to get him a ice pack.

She gets a ice pack from Ice Cream Kitty and talks to Splinter, who states that "sometimes the best solution only arrives when you take a step back from the problem". He then asks her to close the fridge for Ice-Cream Kitty will melt. She and the rest of the team arrive shortly at the dojo after Leo is attacked by the Creep. The Creep continues to attack until Splinter throws him out of the dojo.

They all then go back to the lab and Donnie begins to question how the Creep managed to escape. They then realize that the Creep took Snakeweed's claw. They then take the Shellraiser to track down the Creep. April manages to pinpoint the location of the Creep and the guys except for Donnie move to find him while she stays behind to watch Donnie. He informs the Turtles that the Kraang have been around for centuries as part of a vast conspiracy to terraform the Earth and that it somehow involves April and his creepy candid photograph of her in school.

The Kraang need her as part of their plot to take over Earth. Most importantly, we learned that the Kraang-droids recharge in cubicles and their elevators play Muzak, which is adorable. Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for all news updates related to the world of geek.
