Donnie (T) "Easy... T-Take it easy, Metal—" Metal-Don "I can't...I can't do this anymore. It's too much." Donnie (T) "W-wait..." FTHOOOM Donnie (T) "M-Metal-Don!" Donnie (T) "C'mon, {hnng} Donnie... Chill. It's fine." Donnie (T) "Just a younger version of yourself {nng} in a deadly robot body." Donnie (T) "You got this." |

Raph "Aw, c'mon! You're just crouching and punching. That's cheating!" Leonardo "All is fair in love and video games, Raph. Gotta keep up!" Raph "Gahh, I hate this game!" Raph "You gonna sit there and sulk all night, Mikey, or are you going to take Leo's place when I beat him?" Leo "Yeah, snap out of it, dude." Mikey "Uh-uh. Don't wanna." Leo "C'monnn, man. Are you still mad at us about this Metal-Don thing?" Donnie (T) "Hate to {nng} interrupt the fun, guys..." Donnie (T) "...But we've got a {koff} problem." Enerdrink Leo "Donnie?" Mikey "Dude, are you okay? What happened?" |

Donnie (T) "I'm fine—mostly. My pride feels lot {mmph} worse." Mikey "Who did this to you?" Donnie (T) "...It's Metal-Don. Something happened—something inside him." Donnie (T) "At the zoo. I thought it would help—he just snapped." Raph "I knew it. I told you this would happen. We can't trust those things!" Mikey "Chill, Raph... This isn't a video game." Donnie (T) "I'm not gonna lie... Metal-Don is dangerous. I just have to find him, and fast." Donnie (T) "If I can just rework his programming, I can save the real him inside." Raph "You're not going alone, that's for sure." Leo "If Metal-Don puts anyone in danger, Donnie... We have to stop it." Mikey "So how do we find this overgrown can opener?" Donnie (T) "All those bells and whistles, and you think I'd forget to put a GPS tracker on him?" |

[The former laboratory of Dr. Harold Lilja.] Donnie (T) "Signal's faint, but the GPS says this is the jackpot. Keep your wits, guys." Leo "Place is messed up. Don't think we can blame it on the housekeeping." Mikey "Yo, Metal-Dude! You in here, man?" Raph "Mikey! You're a ninja." Raph "Be more ninja-like." Leo "Donnie, look." Donnie (T) "Oh... Oh no..." Donnie (T) "Metal-Don? Oh no..." Donnie (T) "Metal-Don! Wake up!" Donnie (T) "Authorize code: Omnicron-nu!" |

Donnie (T) "Give me a screwdriver! A hammer! Something!" Raph "It's too late, Donnie. He's gone." Donnie (T) "No. You're right. He wouldn't do that." Donnie (T) "Something happened." Donnie (T) "Harold keeps this place under constant surveillance. Hopefully Metal-Don didn't fry every camera." FZZT Donnie (T) "That should do it..." Mikey "It's him—he's out of control." Raph "That confirms your housekeeping theory, Leo." Donnie "Shh! Guys..." "...I need to see." |

[Earlier.] FWOOOM Metal-Don "This place..." FOOM Metal-Don "...I hate this place." FFZZAAK Metal-Don "It's no use..." Metal-Don "...I-I can't. Not anymore." Metal-Don "I'm not fast enough. T-Too much d-data." Metal-Don "It's the only way. I have to end this." Metal-Don "P-Please... Don't stop me." |

Metal-Don "Rrrr! I said I can't!" Metal-Don "I'm not strong enough! I—" Metal-Don "What?" Metal-Don "No." Metal-Don "What would I...?" Metal-Don "I don't want to be—" Metal-Don "—But I can...I need..." Metal-Don "...More power?" Metal-Don "Yes... Processing power." Metal-Don "Make sense of this. Make the pain dissipate." |

Mikey "Whoa... Metal-Don got himself a sweet upgrade!" Raph "Yeahhh, that's not a good thing, Mikey." Leo "In this new, and like, way bigger body, who knows what that thing is capable of." Raph "That thing's gotta be put down before it goes even more nutso and destroys the whole city." Mikey "It's not a "thing," Raph. And you're wrong. Right, Donnie?" Donnie (T) "His power, his ability to compute—it's overwhelming him. He's not "nutso." He's panicking." Donnie (T) "His brain is a computer trying to fix an emotional problem." Donnie (T) "The brain. Such a complex machine." Donnie (T) "If there's any hope left, Metal-Don must cling to it." Donnie (T) "I think I know where he might be..." |

"...Call it a gut feeling." [T.C.R.I. Laboratory.] Mikey "Dun dunn duh-dah... Dunna-naaah!" Raph ··Mikey, when you hum that stupid secret agent song it kinda defeats the concept of sneaking in.·· "The good news? We made it to the server level." "The bad news? Metal-Don also made it to the server level." Donnie (T) "At least he took care of security for us." Raph "Wait, can't Stockman just give us a guided tour? Why all this pussy-footin'?" Leo "The less he knows about this—all of it—the better. Right now it's complicated." Donnie (T) "Speaking of complicated... I know we don't all exactly see eye-to-eye on Metal-Don, but just... Let me take the lead." Donnie (T) "You saved me from the brink. I have to try to do the same for him." Leo "We trust you, Donnie. We know what this means to you." Mikey "Yeah, dude. Got yer back. Always." |

Donnie (T) "Good, because no way can I do this alone." Donatello (Metalhead 2.0) "This should be enough. An upgrade... Yes. Reformat." Metal-Don "Finally—peace." Leo "I see him—dead center." Donnie (T) "He's accessing the server core. You guys. we can't let him interface with the main power supply." Metal-Don "Overwrite this weakness." Metal-Don "Euthanize this torture." Mikey "Uhh, and what happens if he does, exactly?" Donnie (T) "A surge could corrupt his hard drive." Donnie (T) "In his current state, it could drive him totally insane." "Oh... It could also overload the core and blow us all to bits." |

Metal-Don "I know you're there. Don't try to stop me. I need this." Donnie (T) "When I was like you, all I wanted was someone to know how I felt." Donnie (T) "I can be that. I understand your pain." Metal-Don "You make sense, Donatello." Metal-Don "You fit perfectly in your body. In this world." Donnie (T) "Please! I promise you, we can help. Just trust us." Donnie (T) "It doesn't matter what's on the outside—we are family." Metal-Don "You honestly think I'm the same as you? I thought I was smarter than that." Metal-Don "I found the strength, Donatello. To cut the ties with these faulty emotions." Leo "Sorry to cut your speech short..." SHIKK Metal-Don "Nnno!" |

FVVVT-KRAKK Leo "Ungh!" Donnie (T) "We don't want to have to do this, Metal-Don!" Metal-Don "But I do." FZZAK KLUD Mikey "Ooof!" Raph "Sayonara, dumpster-face!" Donnie (T) "Raph, don't kill—" Raph "{Hukk}" Metal-Don "Yes—goodbye, Raphael!" KRSHH |

Metal-Don "You... You took away my only hope. I can't take this pain anymore. I won't." Metal-Don "This is on your hands, do you hear me? Yours!" Donnie (T) "{Hnnng} Metal-D-Don... S-Stop... I c-can fix..." Metal-Don "No. I will do the fixing." Metal-Don "Self-destruct beta-sequence: Activated." Raph "Did you hear that? Damn thing's gonna blow itself up!" Leo "With the amount of power in this server room... Us too." Metal-Don "...10... 9... 8..." Donnie (T) "Wait... Metal-Don?" Metal-Don "...7... 6... 5..." Donnie (T) "Stop, Metal-Don! Stop it! No!" |
Page 17[]
Mikey "Donnie, c'mon—we gotta go! Now!" Metal-Don "...4... 3..." Donnie (T) "It's too late. We—We're not going to make it." Metal-Don "...2... 1..." Metal-Don "Self-destruct beta sequence: Complete." Metal-Don "Rebooting..." Donnie (T) "Uhh... Guys?" |

Mikey "We're alive! It's a miracle!" Metalhead 2.0 "That's much better. All fixed." FWOOM Metalhead 2.0 "Feelings. Emotions. Empathy. Humanity. All corrupt. A virus. I've done what none of you can—delete them." Metalhead 2.0 "I care not for the trivial minutiae that stunted what I truly am." Donnie (T) "Metal-Don!" FZZAK Metalhead 2.0 "No..." Metalhead 2.0 "Metal-Don is dead." |

(Leo) "He's been in there for two days now. I'm worried about him." (Mikey) "Yeah. Maybe he shouldn't be alone anymore." Mikey "I don't blame him. It's easy for us to forget he lost something. In a way, a piece of himself has died." Leo "In its place... That thing. Still out there too." Mikey "Hey, buddy! How ya doin'? How ya feelin'? Y'okay, pal?" Leo ··Nice, Mikey. Real subtle.·· Donnie "Oh. Hey, guys. I'm just... Y'know." Leo "Dude, we miss you. Seeing you like this sucks." Mikey "Yeah, bro. Whatever you feel, we feel too." |

Mikey "Come out with us tonight." Mikey "Get some fresh air, move the ol' legs—leave this nerd cave." Donnie "I've just been processing. I guess. Metal-D—Metalhead... He's—" Raph "Metal-Don was real. I know that now. But he was never you." Raph "You've grown into the smartest, strongest person we've ever known." Mikey "And that can never be duplicated. You're one of a kind, my dude." Leo "Irreplaceable, Donnie. We're going to keep it that way." Mikey "So you coming? Maybe it feels like it's all coming down, but we still have tonight. Tonight's ours." Donnie "Yeah. You're right." "After all, what good is all this..." "...If we can't live a little." |
