Summary
Months after the Krang invasion, Donatello begins to experience severe shell irritation. When tests reveal leftover Krang matter lodged deep in his shell from the Technodrome explosion, Leo and Draxum perform a delicate extraction procedure to save him. Recovery seems promising—until Donnie collapses weeks later and begins coughing up blood.
After an emergency evaluation, Draxum delivers the devastating diagnosis: a rare, aggressive form of cancer, likely triggered by the Krang residue. As Donnie undergoes harsh treatment, Leo—driven by guilt, love, and fear—digs into his medical training, determined to find a cure. He refuses to let his twin slip away, even as Donnie weakens by the day.
