History[]
Seeking answers to the mystery of the disappearance of He-Man, the Turtles, Man-At-Arms and Teela travel to Castle Grayskull. They are welcomed by the voice of Sorceress, who says that within the castle walls they will find their answers. When the group reaches the Hallway of Holograms and Illusions, they are greeted by Casey Jones, who has geared up with weapons he found on a weapons rack. Casey explains that he borrowed the Turtle Van and followed the guys to Shredder’s hideout. He says there was this bright light, and then they woke up inside the castle. Donatello asks what he means by “we” and Casey answers that it was her idea to borrow the van. This is when Casey pushes open a nearby door and leads the group to April O’Neil and the Sorceress.
April is wearing a skintight yellow and white suit, a falcon headdress, and has wings attached to her back. Leo asks why she’s dressed that way and April explains that there was a white light and a voice called out her name. She followed it down a long tunnel when she was suddenly shot out into the most crystal blue water she’s ever seen. Sorceress calls it the Pool of Power. The next thing April knew, she flew out of the water dressed in this fashion. Sorceress addresses them then and says that April is the key to the answers they seek regarding the ooze plague. She instructs them to travel beneath Castle Grayskull to the Dwell of Souls. The Turtles, April and Casey follow her instructions.
They soon reach the Dwell of Souls. It is a spacious, dungeon-like room, with prison cells containing all manner of odd creature. At its center is a circular pit in which a blue fire burns. April apologizes for not knowing what to do because having powers is new to her. The Turtles take seats around the pit. Leo says that Master Splinter always tells them to meditate and the answers will come to them. April dutifully closes her eyes. A moment later the guys call out to her because she is flying and the blue flame is all around her. Leo tells her that whatever she’s doing, to keep doing it. However, April freaks out, overwhelmed by her new power. Raph leaps up to grab her and both receive a shock that knocks them to the ground. The Spirit of Gray-Shell
