Leo and lizzie got back to the farm house after hunting in the forest but Leo almost fell

Mikey: dude what happened?!

Leo: we had a realization in the woods

Raph: Going off with Lizzie and with a bum leg was a bad idea?

Lizzie: not the time for jokes Raph this is serious

Leo: it's just what we need. What we all need we're so caught up in T-phones and junk food and TV that we've become at odds with nature. A true ninja must become one with it to master himself

Mikey: Hey man you leave TV out of this!

Donnie: Even Master Splinter did it he said only when you become one with nature can you make peace with yourself

Raph: Make peace? What are we hippies? We're ninjas!

Lizzie: we fought aliens and mutants but you can't handle going to the woods?

Raph: of course I can handle it!

Leo: then we'll do three days of meditation and practiced awareness in the wilderness only eating what we can forage

Mikey: Three days? We're gonna live like animals!

Casey: I think Leo might've taken one too many kicks to the head

April: No Leo's right. Camping's a great idea I'm tired of being stuck at the farmhouse.

Leo: I'm sorry April this trip is ninjas only

April: But I'm almost a Kunoichi like lizzie!

Raph: haha! Almost

Lizzie: I trained to be a Kunoichi my whole life and the shredder was my teacher so it just makes sense I'm going with them

Casey: Aw man i thought the three of us could train together! I can teach you a few things

Lizzie: Ha! No.

The turtles and Lizzie packed there things and headed into the woods

Leo: We've mastered our weapons stealth and hand to hand combat but we haven't achieved the very first of the 18 Ninjitsu disciplines. The Seishin Syuyou or 'spiritual refinement' all true ninjas must master it

Mikey: hey Liz have you ever done this before?

Lizzie: No though I've heard of spiritual refinement but the shredder always told me it was a waste of time. One of the many lies he told me

Leo: well that's all in the past now

Lizzie thinking: but it still happened...

A montage started of the five of them surviving and training in the woods

___________________________________

Later that night they all made a campfire but then it turned blue

Lizzie: what the-?!

splinter's spirit appeared out of thin air

All: master splinter!

Mikey: Are you like a ghost?

Splinter's Spirit: My spirit has become detached from my body but that body still lives

Leo: You're alive? Where are you Sensei? Let us help you

Splinter's Spirit: You can not yet

Lizzie: what about my mother? Is she alright?

Splinter's Spirit: I can not sense Alexa's sprit which means she's still alive

Lizzie: thank you for telling me splinter

Splinter's Spirit: now there is much you must overcome. If you can not find your inner spiritual strength you will not stand a chance against the Shredder

Leo: But Master Splinter, my leg injury, it-it's physical. Until I heal...

Splinter's Spirit: We choose what holds us back and what moves us forward. You will all learn this. Each of you must journey out alone to face your spiritual adversary. Raphael your temper is like a fire that you must learn to focus your power. Michelangelo your mind is overrun with distractions. Learn to be strong and calm like the forest. Donatello you rely too much on your mind and not on your body. Be strong like the mountain. Elizabeth your past still haunts you. So you must face your past in order to keep moving forward by being as fast as lightning

Lizzie thought about what splinter said

Splinter's spirit: Leonardo you must be the leader in body and spirit. Be like the wind let nothing weigh you down. Sleep now for your greatest trail awaits on the spiritual plane for the challenges you face there will be just as deadly as those you face in the real world be warned

His Spirit disappeared

Mikey: whoa that was deep

Leo: Master Splinter made our quest clear. It's time we begin ninjas. Each of us will forge new armor and weapons

The turtles and Lizzie made new armor and weapons. Lizzie had a hooded cloak and a mace

Leo: then journey on alone where we'll be challenged in the spirit realm the place where the unreal become real and we meet our ultimate fate

Lizzie: is everyone ready?

Mikey was eating a pizza slice

Raph: Mikey stay focused! Remember what Master Splinter said? The things we're gonna fight are just as dangerous as Shredder

Mikey: right! Got it

Leo: ...it's time. Good luck everyone

Lizzie walked into the forest alone but it was real foggy

Lizzie: to face my past I have to find shredder and destroy him

She was suddenly surrounded by foot soldiers

Lizzie: bring it on

Lizzie fought off the foot soldier's easily

Lizzie: I don't understand how do I move forward?

The shredder was right behind her

Shredder: you can't

Lizzie turned around and was ready to fight

Shredder: I am your father. I raised you. That will never change

Lizzie: No! You never made me or Karai into another soldier for you to control!

She started fighting off shredder but he was to strong for her

Shredder: I taught you everything you know now stop fighting me! You betrayed me and look at what you've become

Lizzie tried to stand up

Lizzie: t-to me that's a compliment!

Shredder: enough! Be my daughter again and you will have a purpose once more

Lizzie: ...you know what would give me a purpose me shredder?

Lizzie tripped him and got back up

Lizzie: to leave the foot clan and never call you my father again. to train with the turtles and learn how to enjoy life. to spend time with my mother and get get to know her better. But most of all to make sure you never hurt anyone again!!

She moved as fast as lightning and hit shredder in the chest with her mace

Shredder: NO!

He became smoke and disappeared

Lizzie: I get to choose who I want to be...

The turtles and Lizzie got back to the farm house

April: what happened out there?

Leo: it's time we're going back to New York

Lizzie: we're going to fight shredder together as a team

Casey: did you just say the words together and team?!

Lizzie: yes. I learned a few things in the forest
