## Script

### Moris

An-D and Chloe Montes were sleeping over at Moris's house. They were in her room, watching her play Left 4 Dead!

An-D: Wa'h ou' for da zumbies!

Chloe M.: Zombies. And shush! She has to concentrate!

Shiny Zorua: Yeah! Be quiet! (eats popcorn)

Moris: I see the helicopter. I just have to get there before my health goes down to zero and it'll be game over.

(minigame: Reach to the helicopter in Left 4 Dead)

Moris: Yes. I made it.

An-D: You're so goo' at video games! Wha's your secre'?!

Moris: A true gamer doesn't kiss and tell. Sorry.

An-D: Darn it!

Chloe M.: Well you are pretty good. Now I want to play.

Rattata: Which one?! We have tons of different games for different consoles!

Chloe M.: Jeez, you have so many games.

Moris: I also have online games like SuperQuest.

Chloe M.: Seriously?! So do I! I'm a wolf warrior known as WolfKeeper555!

Moris: Awesome. We should do a quest together some time.

Chloe M.: We should... So do you wonder what the others are doing?

An-D: Mikey dexted me sayin' dey're gonna check on some abanduned Kraang labs!

Chloe M.: Lucky! They get to go do that while we sit around doing nothing! It's not fair! (gets an idea) I have the perfect prank for them. Let's go to the Lair.

Moris: Now? I'm kinda tired... (yawns)

Chloe M.: It won't be long. Let's go!

Shiny Rockruff: Looks like we don't have much of a choice right?

An-D: Sadly yes...

### Kraang Lab

Mahiru: Kagome, Himeko, Mia, thanks for joining me. I really appreciate it.

Kagome: It's no problem but why did you want us to be here?

Mahiru: To take some pictures of course! I need it for my photo album. Don't be scared. It's practically abandoned. Nobody's in there.

Himeko: But there's a lot of robot parts!

Mia: It must be some kind of laboratory before it got abandoned. And these are definitely weird ones.

Mahiru: (take pictures) I know. And it's really fascinating to see all of this! (takes picture)

Buneary: I hope this doesn't take long!

Cinccinno: Don't worry! It won't be *that* long! We just need a couple of photos and then we're leaving!

Mia: Would that be enough?

Mahiru: Yeah. Whoa, look at these blueprints. They must've been experimenting on insects. I'm gonna guess growing them in size.

Himeko: Like a monster?!

Mahiru: Monsters don't exist. It's make-believe and only appear in shows and movies. You shouldn't be scared of something that doesn't even exist at all.

Mia: Well tell that to the giant wasp that's literally behind you!

Mahiru: What are you...? (turns and screams) Giant wasp! Everyone, hide!

Kagome: Buneary, use Ice Beam! Aim it at the wings!

Buneary: Ice Beam!

The wasp dodged the attack and was about to strike Kagome when a Thunderbolt strike it.

Jolteon: You better stay away from these nice people, giant wasp!

Mahiru: Awesome! I never seen talking turtles before! May I have the honor of taking your pictures for my photo album?

Leo: We don't have time for that! Hide!

They hide from the wasp.

Candy: So Leo, how do we kill that thing?!

Mikey: I have a suggestion!

Leo: No!

Jolteon: But you didn't even hear it yet!

Raph: Don't care!

Mikey: (groans sadly)

Tashigi: Let's do this.

(boss battle: Defeat the Wasp)

Mikey: Leo, look out!

It was too late as Leo gets stung by the wasp.

Pimiko: Leo!

Vaporeon: Oh no!

Leo: (screams in pain)

Kimberly: Are you okay?!

Leo: Uh... Does it look bad?

Akame: Very bad.

Leone: Gross!

Mine: Disgusting!

Leo: Thanks a lot, Mikey!!

Mikey: How is this my fault?!

Mahiru: What a huge stinger. (takes a picture)

Kokonoe: Okay okay. We all know it's gross and disgusting! Let's take this fucker out already! (takes out the stinger harshly)

Litchi: Kokonoe, you must be gentle when taking something like this out. Besides, the wasp is dead because it lost its stinger. So we don't have to deal with *that* again.

Kokonoe: I don't have time for being gentle!

Samantha: So are you going to be okay, Leo?

Leo: Yeah. I'll be fine. (eye twitches a little) Don't worry about it.

Vaporeon: (thinking) Did his eye just twitched? That's really weird for him to do. He never twitches like that.

Espeon: Still, it's very amazing that this wasp could still be in its bee form because Mutants like these are usually anthropomorphic.
Leo then wanders off and unveils an egg under a newspaper.

Jolteon: What kind of egg is that?!

Leafeon (Cypress): Let's just destroy it.

Leo: No! I think it's best that we should take it to the Lair.

Ladybug and Raph: Are you nuts?!

Chat Noir: What kind?

Ladybug: The crazy kind! Leo, I think this is a bad idea!

Mikey: I'll carry it!

Leo: No, I'll carry it! You might drop it.

Mikey: No I won't! Trust me!

### Lair

Later, they reach home and Leo comes out of the Shellraiser, carrying the egg. They got scared by Chloe M., An-D, and Moris.

Leo: What the shell was that?!

Chloe M.: We were just scaring you. Hey, what's with the egg?

Donnie: We found it at the abandoned Kraang Lab Carlos told us about.

Moris: Cool. What kind of egg is it?

Donnie: Not sure. But I'm gonna do some research on it.

He places the egg on a beanbag in the lair, and Donnie is about to dissect it.

Leo: Actually, could you just look at it further away?

Moris: Why do you want him to do that? We need to know what's inside that thing.

Leo: I don't want anybody touching it! I forbid it!

An-D: Uh... Okay?

Moris: Let's all head to the other room so he could be alone.

Vaporeon: I agree. (gives Leo a mean-looking face before going to the kitchen) Something's wrong with Leo.

Flareon: I know right?! It's like he's a totally different person! This is not him at all!

Moris: I may know. He's slowly turning into a zombie.

Raph: How do you know that?!

Moris: Well with my experience of playing any zombie game, there is a pattern to it. Someone or an organization created something, someone gets infected, they begin biting people, turning them into zombies themselves to repeat the cycle. Leo's becoming overprotective of the egg so my conclusion states he's becoming a zombie.

Mao Yin: Zombies don't exist!

Kai: Yeah! There's gotta be a different explanation for it!

Moris: So you don't believe me eh? Then tell me. When did this happened?

Donnie: Well, I know that the wasp had sting him.

Moris: Got it. The wasp must be the host. The sting would've had a lot of bacteria to make a person or another Mutant into a zombie. Tasking it to make sure nothing happens to the egg until it hatches.

Raph: You're playing too much video games.

#### Common Area

April: Hey Leo. Whoa, is something wrong?

Leo: W-What do you mean?

April: You're very intense. I can feel your energy becoming harsher.

Leo: Well, we found a e-e-e-egg and I-I was making s-s-s-sure nobody doesn't t-t-t-touch it.

April: Leo, you're stuttering. This never happens to you. Like ever. Something's up and maybe has something to do with it.

But when she tries to reach for the egg, he grabbed her arm and squeezes it very tightly.

April: Leo! Ow! Leo stop! You're hurting me! Stop! Ow ow ow!

He snaps out of it and let her arm go.

April: What the hell?! Leo, I don't know what's going on with you but that really hurt! You were trying to break my arm in half by squeezing it to death!

Leo: I-I-I'm sorry. I-I didn't know wh-wh-what came over me. I didn't m-mean to.

April: You care more of that stupid egg then a friend! That really hurt!

Saddened, he goes to his room and slowly closes the door.

#### Kitchen

April enters the kitchen and starts looking for First-Aid.

Chloe M.: April, your arm is so red! What the heck happened?!

April: Leo happened. I was reaching for the egg and he squeeze my arm hard. (grunts) Hurts so much...

Mikey: Leo did that?! He never does anything like that!

Raph: Yeah. Usually I'm the one who break bones.

Kimberly: Let me do it for you. Nurse Chance, help us out!

Chansey: Chansey!

Kimberly: Nurse Chance, use Heal Pulse on April's arm. April, straighten out your arm and hold still.

April nodded and straighten her arm out.

Chansey: Heal Pulse~... (heals April's arm) Are you feeling better?

April: Much better. Thanks. But I'm worried about him. He's not being himself. His energy is so bright it's intensifying. I never seen anything like it.

Mao Yin: We gotta destroy that egg before something bad happens! I want the old Leo back!

Pimiko: We all do. We just need him to stay away from the egg long enough so we can take it and destroy it once and for all. 'Cause this is getting ridiculous.

Kai: Right. He needs our help and if he attacks us, than I guess we have to hold him tight.

Everyone: Okay!

### Later

#### Lair

##### Common Area

Mikey comes in with a box of fresh Pizza, which turns out to only be his own favorite; jellybean, jalapeño, and anchovy pizza.

Mikey: I brought you pizza with jellybeans, jalapeños and anchovies!

Tashigi: Isn't that *your* favorite, Michelangelo?

Mikey: Oh yeah! (chuckles) I forgot!

Wendy: Any other ideas?

Espeon: I may have one.

Carla: That is...?

He turns the TV and changes the channel to where Space Heroes are usually played.

Flareon: No~! Not Space Heroes! Anything but Space Heroes! Turn it off turn it off! (gets slapped by a pink diamond shaped as a human hand) Ow...

Espeon: Calm down, Pyro. This is for Leo. Remember that. Got it?

Flareon: Got it...

Raph: Hey Leo! Your favorite show is on! Come and watch!

Leo: No thanks.

Moris: Well that didn't work. He's definitely a zombie.

Marinette: Stop saying zombie! I don't want to fight against a zombie!

Mikey later has Leo's issue #1 comic-book of Space Heroes

Mikey: I couldn't find toilet paper so I use the pages of your comic book.

Vaporeon: Nothing. We need some drastic measures.

Flareon: Leave that us. (whispers) Tonight, we'll sneak out and destroy the egg while Leo is sleeping. So by the time morning rise, he'll snap back into reality and be the usual bossy and no fun-loving self.

Vaporeon: Hey!

Flareon: Just saying!

### Night

Raph and Pyro goes into Donnie's lab and is about to stab right into the egg.

[DEEP GROWLING]

Flareon: What was that?

They turned to see Leo in a monstrous version of his wolf form. He was foaming in the mouth and his eyes were completely black as night.

Flareon: What the hell is that?!

Raph: Leo's turn into a monster!

(quick time event: Press the right button at the right moment to dodge Monster Leo)

Raph: That wasp really turn you into a monster!

Flareon: More like a zombie! Moris was right! She was absolutely right!

Raph: (takes out Pokedex) Torterra, help us out by using Leaf Storm!

Torterra: Torterra! Leaf Storm!

Monster Leo: (grunting in pain)

Raph: That's what I'm talking about! Keep it up!

Flareon: Not sure if it's gonna go any longer.

### Donnie's Room

[RAPH SCREAMING]

Donnie: Huh?

April: (opens door) Who screamed like that?

Kaii: It sounded like Raphael.

Gabb: The red one?! Huh. Never thought he would scream like a girl. A manly girl that is.

Kaii: This isn't time for insults! We must check him out to see if he's okay!

Gabb: Fine fine! Don't yell at me okay?

Kaii: (groans)

#### Common Area

Mikey: (screaming) Raph is a... a...

Mao Yin: Monster!

Donnie: No way... I never thought this could actually happen.

Monster Raph and Monster Leo roared which the heroes covered their ears in pain.

Josephine: Am I dreaming?!

Luna: Unfortunately you're not. This is all real.

Pimiko: Look out!

Everyone: (dodges)

But they manage lock Leo and Raph in the lab with Mikey's kusarigama.

Rin: Ra-Ra and Le-Le are big monsters now...

Donnie: Guys, we can use the garage to escape! Follow me.

Everyone: Right!

### Later

Rin: Are they gonna be okay?

Pimiko: They will. We just have to find a way to get them back to normal.

Chihiru: What I had found is quite fascinating.

Mao Yin: Like what?

Donnie: We must've encounter a parasitic wasp.

Tashigi: What's a parasitic wasp?

Chihiru: Apparently it infects creatures with a virus that brainwashes its victims into guarding its egg. When the egg hatches, the newborn wasp will promptly eat its guardian.

Rin: What?!

Glaceon: That can't be true.

Chihiru: That's what it says.

Mao Yin: Guess we need some bigger help.

Mikey: And I know the right people to do so!

Kokonoe: Hey! Don't forget about the antidote! We need that and to destroy that egg before it hatches!

Jolteon: Don't worry! We'll just have to get back to the Lair!

Flareon: And how are we gonna do that?!

Jolteon: Sneak in?

Flareon: I don't know...

April: Well we have to do something.

Mahiru: They'll be alright. We should start making that antidote.

Miu: We already know that, freckle rose!

Mahiru: Freckle rose?

Miu: Your hair is super red like a rose and you have freckles! Should I call you pizza rose instead?!

Mahiru: Not even necessary. Look, can we just go?

Miu: We may. But in order to make that antidote, we have to get a sample from the egg itself.

Rockruff: That'll be impossible! Leo and Raph are guarding it 24/7!

Alakazam: Unless someone is willing to distract them.

Rin: (tilted her head in confusion) Distract them?

### Lair

Ritsu: So you want one of us to distract them in order to get the sample from the egg?

Chloe M.: Seems a little dangerous to begin with.

Moris: We must do it. Usually zombies will go to the noise they first hear.

Donnie: Well I guess I have to do it. Everyone, run as fast as you can once they're gone.

April: Be careful, D.

Donnie: I will. (breathes in and out) Hey Leo and Raph! Come after me right now!

They quickly runs after Donnie and the others went in.

Carrot: Let's get that sample and make the antidote!

Miu extracts the sample from the egg.

Miu: Got it! Now to the lab before they come back!

Wanda: Right!

#### Lab

Miu: Okay, with this sample, we'll be able to create the antidote so we can return them to normal and kill the egg before it hatch and eat them alive.

Mahiru: You sound so optimistic even though we're in this situation.

Moris: Reminds me of a video game that had this. Wasn't it The Last of Us? No it must be Resident Evil. I'm sure of it.

Aoi: How long is this gonna take?!

Kokonoe: That depends. It could take us a few minutes.

Ragna: You better hurry it up or we're gonna be fucking zombies ourselves!

Miu: Don't fucking rush us! Making antidotes is an extremely delicate process. We must be extremely focus at all times. Don't expect us to be rushed!

Ragna: We don't have much time! They're gonna be back and eat us alive!

[ROARING]

Luffy: They're back.

Zolo: You *had* to jinx us.

Ragna: I didn't mean to!

April was completely shocked to see Donnie in his monstrous version of his fox form.

April: Oh no... They got Donnie...

Miu: We better run while making this antidote!

Everyone: Right!

Marinette: April, you coming?! (no response) April?

April: No... Donnie, why...?

He growled as he steps backwards and she moving forward.

Marinette: Are you crazy?!

Monster Leo: Take care of her. We'll handle the rest. (runs)

Monster Donnie: (growling) Don't come near me!

April: Donatello, it's me. April.

He roars loudly but it didn't make her scared.

Monster Donnie: Why aren't you running? Do you want me to bite you?!

April: Come on out, Nova!

Clefairy: Clefairy!

Monster Donnie: You must stupid to think you can stop us! We will make sure that egg hatches no matter what! You won't be stopping us, human.

April: Sorry about this. Nova, use Icy Wind!

Clefairy: Icy Wind!

Monster Donnie: (grunts) Icy Wind eh? Well two can play at this game. (pounces at April)

Clefairy: April! Let her go, you big meanie!

April: Donnie, this isn't like you! Snap out of it! (Monster Donnie opening his mouth to bite her) Before you do that, please remember everything we've been through. As kids... to now... I always considered you as my best friend. I even have the necklace of the star that I always wear everyday. (takes out necklace) See?

He was confused as he look at the necklace.

Vanda/April: (sits up) Now I will return you to normal by getting rid of the wasp's effects. (starts chanting) Kono totsuzenhen'i karada o seigyo shita mono wa, kare o ima no mama ni shite, kare no seijōna jiko ni modorimasu. Rirīsu! {Translation: Those who have controlled this mutant will now leave him be and return to his normal self. Release!}

He returns to normal and landed on her lap.

Donnie: April?

Vanda/April: (petting his head in which his tail wags happily and his ear drooped) Good. You have returned to normal. (hears cracking) But now we have bigger problems.

### Mikey

Mikoto: Now we're surrounded!

Rin: What should we do?!

Ryuko: Kill them?

Mine: We're not doing that!

Rin: Ra-Ra, Le-Le, please don't attack us! We're your friends remember?! We just want to help you! Don't do this for the egg!

Monster Leo and Monster Raph begins to pounce at them.

Jolteon: THUNDERBOLT~!!!!!!!!!! (starts glowing)

A Keystone appeared on Mikey's right leg as an anklet and a Megastone (Jolteonite) appeared on Sparky's head as a cap.

Jolteon: Mega Jolteon!

Everyone: (screaming loudly)

Flareon: Sparky stop!

Vaporeon: You're hurting us as well!

Jolteon: BOLT~!!!!!

Flareon: He's not even listening to us!

Riolu: I have an idea! Earthquake!

Jolteon: Huh? (screams and faints) That hurt.... (returns to normal)

Flareon: Much better. But at least Leo and Raph are unconscious.

Miu: And just in time. Let's test out the brand new antidote.

Mylene: Careful. They could wake up and start attacking us.

Kokonoe: There's nothing to worry about. They won't be waking up for awhile.

Mylene: You sure?

Kokonoe: Positive.

Hours later, Raph begins to wrestle Mikey.

Mikey: Hey! I'm supposed to be a hero!

Akame: We're all heroes, Michelangelo.

Jolteon: Still, we were the ones who saved you guys from those wasps!

Donnie: Actually that was me and April.

Together: (groaning in disappointed)
