	April and the turtles met with each other the next day in Donnie's lab. They talked about the mysterious woman, and who she could be.
"I don't think any of us has seen her before." said April.
"Maybe she's not real." said Raph. "After all, it was a dream."
"But we all had the same exact dream, Raph." said Donnie. "There's no way that was just a coincidence. Someone is trying to call us. Someone needs our help."
"But a woman with wings and floating hair?" How is that possible?" asked Raph.
"Look at us Raph. Were mutants People would say the same about us." replied Donnie.
"She looked like she was a princess or something." said Leo. "Or at least important somehow. But who is she?"
That was the question that burned the turtles' minds. They could never come up with a conclusion. The woman visited them over and over again. Saying the same thing each time. No one could figure out what she wanted, or who she was. But on night, she said something different. She said, "Get ready."
The next day, the turtles sat in the lair by themselves. Splinter had taken April to the surface for training. They thought about the woman.
Leonardo thought he heard a sound coming fro the dojo. He just ignored it. But he heard it again, and again. The other turtles did, too. it sounded like sparks. They went to go see what it was.
To their surprise, they saw a purple spark appear and disappear in the middle of the room. They were very confused. Donnie touched the spark, and hurt his hand. Something was coming. Was this what the woman warned them about? What they had to "get ready" for? The turtles pulled out their weapons, preparing themselves for whatever could be coming.
Then, the flashing stopped. The turtles never let their guard down. Right before they left, a blinding white light shined in the turtles eyes. They covered their eyes. The light faded away. the turtles saw blue portal in it's place. They knew it wasn't a kraang portal. But where did it lead?
"Let's go!" yelled Mikey.
"Wait." said Leo. "We don't know where this goes. It could be a trap."
"What if it's that woman that needs help?" asked Donnie.
"We don't even know who she is. She could be evil." said Leo.
Mikey had a feeling about this. He knew the woman needed help. Mikey ran and jumped into the portal, while yelling "Booyakasha!"
"Mikey!" yelled Leo. It was too late. Mikey was gone.
Raph groaned, and the turtles followed him into the unknown place.

The turtles appeared into a dark forest, where they found Michelangelo, looking at a sign. Raph hit him in the back of his head for running off . and then read the sign. It read "Everfree Forest."
"Everfree Forest? What the heck is that?" asked Raph, irritated. The turtles examined the area.
"Come on, guys." said Leo. "Let's find our way out."
The turtles walked through the spooky forest, holding their weapons. They looked for a way out, but the forest seemed endless. They heard animal noises as they passed. They saw several things hiding in the bushes and trees. None of which looked anything like what they had at home. They were scared. They had no idea what could attack them.
The turtles walked for what felt like hours. They were exhausted. They soon found a small hut. It looked like someone made a home out of a huge hollow tree. They walked up to the small house, and Leo knocked on the door. The turtles were surprised by what they saw.
A woman with a white and black Mohawk opened the door. She gasped and said, "Oh yes! Come in, come in! To this place, I don't think you've been. I will tell you what you want to know, even things that happened long ago."
The turtles blinked. They already regretted their decision. But one by one, the turtles walked inside. There were shelves filled with potions, and masks hung on the round walls. A glowing green cauldron sat in the middle of the room.	
"This book, you must read. This problem would be solved, if only sooner you agreed." The lady said. She handed them a large book titled "Tantabus."
The turtles opened a book and skimmed through the pages. They read about the creature, and what it did to people.
"Why did you show us this?" Leo asked.
"Right now, that creature is on the loose, and to people's minds, it does abuse. Prophecy says, us you will save. 4 turtles, who are quite brave."
"Us?" asked Raph. The lady handed them a scroll, that said that one day, 4 turtles would come, and stop the Tantabus forever.
"Save us is what you must do, as was said by the lady in blue." she said.
"Lady in blue. The lady we saw in our dreams?"  Leo asked. She nodded.
"We have to find her." said Donnie. "I'm sorry, but what's your name?"
"Zecora is my name. I stay here, so for injuries of others, i cannot be blamed."
"We have to meet this 'lady in blue' and find out what she needs." said Leo. 
"Take this, please. It will make your journey more of a breeze." said Zecora. She handed them a map.
"Thank you Zecora." said Donnie. Leo took the map. They then left, following the path on their map.
