Season 4 (2012)
THE MAN'S OF THALOS 3

After the Fugitoid starts diffusing the tension between the turtles and the Salamandrian's, Raph goes up to the Salamandrian Lieutenant, Y'Gythgba, and says that they don't want to fight them. Especially because the turtles clearly outnumber the Salamandrian's. She says that means nothing to a Salamandrian, and that she doesn't fear them or the turtles. Through some miscommunication, they end up having to fight each other. He tells Y'Gythgba that she's going down and they start to fight. She fights him off easily, and he notes to himself that he's never been hit like that before. He see's all of her actions and slow motion and thinks that it felt kinda nice getting hit by her. She then goes over to him and starts to fight him again.

After breaking off from the group, Raph rushes to meet with Y'Gythgba and does a flip to show off. He asks if she's impressed, and she's not, but respects his tenacity. She pulls her gun on him, and Raph tries to suggest that they all work together. Y'Gythgba says that he's in their way, and shoots the ice below his feet. He yells that's not good teamwork as he falls.

Raph climbs back to the top and sees Y'Gythgba being attacked by ice dragons. He quickly jumps into action, and takes them both out, impressing Y'Gythgba. She pulls a gun on him though, and he's sure that she's going to shoot him, but takes out an Ice Dragon that was climbing up behind him. She calls him a noble warrior and they introduce themselves. Raph is unable to pronounce "Y'Gythgba", but asks if he can call her "Mona Lisa" after one of the most beautiful women in art. Mona allows it, and pulls him close so that their space helmets meet. She says that someday their noses will meet and walks away, leaving Raph stunned. He says his nose will be ready and returns to normal as he joins her beside a frozen Sal Commander. He asks what she's gonna do with him and she puts her gun on a low setting to thaw him.

As the cold sets in, everyone's space suits start to fail and Raph falls into Mona's arms. She lowers him to the ground and sits down herself, the cold getting her as well. Raph tells her that he wishes that he could tell her how he feels, and Mona says that she knows. They then pass out, but Raph wakes up on the ship with Mona standing over him. She helps him up and he falls into her arms again before awkwardly righting himself and smiling at her. Mona takes his hand and their about to kiss, when they're interrupted by the Fugitoid. Raph tries to say how he feels, but Mona stops it and says that she'll say it but in her own language. She lets out a series of garbled screeches, before pulling him into a kiss.

When the Salamandarians leave, Raph stares longingly out the window as he whispers goodbye to Mona. Leo tells him that he'll see her again someday, and Raph says that he hopes so.
