Suggested by user_3112
Based on the TMNT 1987 animated TV series. April O'Neil is fed up with her boss Burne Thompson being a jerk and treating her like sap, and Irma feels the same way. So they quit their jobs at Channel 6 by writing Burne a resignation letter and applying for a new job at a newspaper company in New York, much to their former boss's frustration. Now April & Irma are happy with their new job and their new boss, Mr. Greg Holtman, who's friendly and kind and generous, unlike Burne Thompson. Then April's sister Robyn O'Neil is her replacement at Channel 6. Meanwhile in Dimension X, Krang assigns Shredder and the 2 mutants with tiny brains to pulverize the city of New York by using a machine called a population reducer (invented by Krang) to reduce the population of the city. The Turtles must somehow stop them and save the population before it's too late. As for Burne Thompson, he's nothing without April & Irma, but that's not their problem. He's got Robyn as his new TV reporter for good, unless he tries to convince April & Irma to get their old jobs back. From the creators of Legend of the Three Caballeros (2018).
