History
While reporting on the, April is accosted by the street thugs , , and an unnamed third punk, trying to take the footage of her report. Her cries for help were answered by four mutant turtles, who stepped in and introduced herself before beating the thugs.

April reported on the incident back at work, only to be chewed out by her boss, for allegedly making the incident up. Burne challenges her to prove her outlandish statements or she'll be busted down to reporting just the weather.

Little did either of them know, the weather would be an important component of this situation. Having heard from Bebop about his defeat by the Turtles, their boss powered on a weather controlling machine capable of changing the weather at his whim. He also dosed Bebop with a mutagen, causing him to mutate into a warthog man. He then charged Bebop with taking O'Neil to him.

April and her colleague asked people on the street about the strange changes in weather, when suddenly a large man in a heavy trenchcoat approached them, despite the sweltering heat. It turned out to be the mutated Bebop, who grabbed her and headed for a nearby manhole. Luckily, the Turtles were in their and spotted this incident.

Down in Shredder's underground base, Bebop takes April to Shredder just as he's finishing up talking to his. Shredder tells April about why she needs to die and orders Bebop to kill her. Bebop decides he's going to force himself on her first, but stops him just in time with a flung sai. knocks out Bebop with a kick, and upon learning that the Turtles are 's ninjutsu successors, Shredder attacks them, with April filming. Shredder realizes he can use the Turtles to his advantage and disappears after throwing a smoke bomb. then realizes the place is rigged to blow, and the five of them escape before it detonates.

The Turtles give April a to contact them with, in case Shredder tries something funny again. She then returns to Channel 6 to report on the incident.
