Mona Lisa tells the turtles that she has come to New York looking for her lost friend, who was also a mutant. She explains that they had been separated, and she hasn't seen her friend in a long time.

The turtles mount a daring rescue mission and free Mona Lisa's friend. But before they can escape, they are ambushed by The Kraang and are forced to fight their way out.
The turtles, along with Mona Lisa and her friend, make it back to their sewer and have a chance to catch their breath. The turtles are amazed by Mona Lisa's abilities and are grateful to have made a new ally. However, they quickly realize that their new friend might not be able to stay with them for long. As a mutant, Mona Lisa is always on the run, and her life is never stable.
