## Script

Steranko: (seeing his collection) Alexander the Great's breastplate. The Spear of Destiny. Excalibur. Is most greatest collection of all time, da? But is missing one thing. Shredder's helmet. The legendary Kuro Kabuto. If someone could obtain it for me, I maybe forget terrible past misdeed, huh?

Anton Zeck: So if I steal the helmet, you'll forgive me for my little mistake.

Steranko: Little mistake?! You shoot me in eyeball!

Anton Zeck: Not on purpose! Anyway, you got that new cool eye. You used to be an arms dealer, but now it's like, 'Oooh, check out the new cool eyeball guy'.

Steranko: I should pop your head like blueberry!

Anton Zeck: Relax, Steranko. I'll get you that helmet.

Steranko: Is in Shredder's lair, highest security. Tell me, Mr. Zeck, why do you think you can steal it?

Anton Zeck: See your Spear of Destiny, there?

Steranko: Da?

Anton Zeck: Lick it.

-Steranko goes to his Spear of Destiny, picks it up and licks it. He then throws it on the ground-

Steranko: Is made of marzipan!

Anton Zeck: I stole the real one, yesterday.

-he reveals the real Spear of Destiny-

Steranko: -takes back his spear- Just watch step. I have sent five men to steal the helmet, one after other. Nobody ever come back. That Shredder, he has eyes in back of head.

Anton Zeck: -laughs- Those eyes won't do much him good.

-he turns himself invisible-

### Lair

The scene cuts to Leo peering into Master Splinter's room. Leo notices that Splinter seems to be grieving about Karai being stolen once more, but Leo chooses not to bother his sensei further.

Vaporeon: Poor Sensei... I feel bad...

Dewott: Me too...

Froakie: Me three!

Leo: I know... We gotta do something about this.

#### Living Room

Leo: Guys, we have to save Karai.

Mao Yin: Save Karai?

Raph brings in some Pizza for his brothers to munch on, but then Mikey begins to go crazy over it, and uses a smoke bomb, causing the pizza to disappear and scatter all over the living room.

Raph: You wanna save her?! Don't you realize what happened last time?! She was gonna lure Tiger Claw here!

Vaporeon: Still we have to try! I know we may not have good terms on her but she's family. And family always stick together.

Maya: Yeah! I agree with Undertow here! We should save her!

Donnie: I can't believe you're actually trusting Karai. After everything she did...

Froakie: We all make mistakes. She's part of our family!

Lea: Yeah! It's only fair to save her!

Raph: That makes me leader "more or less."

Rach: Oh shut up! Let's go to Foot HQ and see some weaknesses to sneak in.

Oktokki: Gwonli! {Translation: Right!}

Akame: We all must go.

Flareon: Fine~... But we better be back in time to watch some wrestling!

Houndour: Right!

### Foot HQ

#### Dungeon

Meanwhile, Karai is sitting in her cell and is dejectedly clawing at one of the doors with a minuscule weapon.

Phanteon: Karai, stop. Shredder's coming.

Karai: Okay. Just this once.

Shredder then walks up to the opposite side of the cell.

Karai: Why are you keeping me prisoner?

Shredder: The only reason you're with me now is because I thought it would be awful for you to be brought up by a scum like Splinter.

Malamar: One day, you'll comprehend us. That would be hopeful to say.

After the villain leaves, Karai once again starts clawing at the cell door she's nearest to.

Karai: Comprehend my dead body. I'm gonna get out of here even if it kills me.

Phanteon: Kills you? I can't let you die. I promise Tang Shen I protect you. And that's what I'm gonna do.

Karai: I can take care of myself. (sighs) Hold on. Phanteon, I'm sorry. No, I should be apologizing to Yuki. She had know this secret for a long time and I was being so awful to her. What kind of trainer am I? I should've listened to her. I should've. (tears forming) Oh no. Tears are coming...

Suddenly, a small hole appeared.

Celebi: Karai, I have been looking all over you!

Karai: Huh? A Celebi? What are you doing here?

Celebi: I came here to give you something. You have now realize your true past so I will have someone you might know come through this time portal. (whistles)

Cherrim: Cherrim!

Karai: (picks Chikura up) Ch-Ch-Chikura? But how? I...

Celebi: I saved her and took care of her. The reason I surprised you with Chikura is because you have turned a new leaf.

Cherrim: So please don't cry, Miwa. I completely forgive you for what you did in the past.

Karai hugs her tightly.

Karai: Thank you. (sobbing)

Celebi: You're welcome. Until we meet again. (leaves)

### Anton Zeck

Artemy: So that's Foot HQ?

Matias: It looks very secured. You sure about this?

Anton: Positive! Look, if I want Steranko to forgive me for that mistake then I gotta steal the Kuro Kabuto. Not to worry. I have all the technology to do the thieving. You just follow my lead. (takes out Ultra Ball) Come on out, Tookirol!

Tookirol: Tookirol~!

Artemy: Nice! Marmothief, time for a mission!

Marmothief: Marmothief!

Matias: Pilfiend, you too!

Pilfiend: Pilfiend!

Anton: Let's do this, team!

Everyone: Right!

Artemy: Better make this quick. We don't got all night.

He easily and rapidly infiltrates the building using a compass attached to his left hand. He slides down onto the floor and runs behind the Shredder's throne. Somehow knowing that the helmet is located in the drawer that is there, he successfully overrides all of the security codes, opens the drawer, puts the helmet in his bag and attaches it to his body.

Tookirol: That was easy.

Artemy: Too easy...

Pilfiend: (hears something) I think they're coming right now. I can hear their footsteps.

Anton: You two should leave. Anton and Tool here got this.

Together: Okay. (leaves)

Anton: (grabs Tookirol) Hold on tight! (turns invisible)

Rahzar is not able to spot the invisible thief, but he can still smell him and knocks him to the ground easily after pummeling him.

Anton: Uh-oh.

Rahzar: Any last words before I maul you alive?

Anton: Just one. Tool, use Scratch!

Tookirol: Scratch! Scratch! Scratch! Scratch!

Rahzar: (screams) My face! Attack him!

The master thief then starts to project multiple energy beams from a device located on the top of his head. He then throws a detonator into a nearby wall and escapes with what he needs.

Anton: So long, suckers! (laughs joyfully) I did it! I got the Kuro Kabuto!

Malamar: What the hell is going on here?!

Machamp: We're sorry, Master Xao. Someone had took your helmet. (grabs card) This is the culprit's business card.

Shredder examines it.

Shredder: Get the entire clan here right now. This is an emergency.

Together: Yes Master Shredder!

Malamar: This Anton Zeck will pay for his crime against us!

### Anton Zeck

#### Rooftops

Anton: We got the Kuro Kabuto!

Artemy: Yeah! Can't believe you actually stole it.

Matias: Now we can get to Steranko and give it to him.

Anton: Right! We should head out before- [SWOOP] Huh?!

Sly: My, my. You heard you stole something important. Give it to me.

Anton: Wha?! No way, coon! Just who the heck are you?!

Sly: Sly Cooper. Professional thief of the Cooper family. Give me that helmet.

Anton: Never! I stole this first!

Sly: Then I just have to take it from you. (battle pose)

Anton: Bring it!

(mini-boss battle: Defeat Anton as Sly Cooper)

Anton: Uh-oh! (falls from the rooftops)

Artemy: Anton!

Anton: (groans) I'm okay!

Sly: Whoops. Didn't mean that to happen. (jumps down)

Artemy: We gotta go after them! (jumps down)

Matias: Wait for me! (jumps down)

Sly: Come on, don't be stubborn. That helmet must be special. Just give it to me and nobody will get hurt.

Anton: Over my dead body! (runs)

Sly: How could he still move like that? (runs after him)

Meanwhile, the Turtles are driving across town in the Shellraiser.

Leo: Our best bet is to to tunnel into the Shredder's lair from down below.

Mikey: I think we should tunnel down from above.

Jolteon: It would definitely baffle them!

Raph appears to be dead set against all of the options that are mentioned.

Akame: That could work. But I think we should separate into different groups. One group will get their attention and distract them while the other group would sneak in and save Karai.

Nyaa-tan: Even better idea!

Soon, Donnie spots a man (the master thief himself) on his Infrared camera that seems to be running from them. However, on Donnie's ordinary camera, nothing is seen.

Donnie: That's weird...

Josephine: What?

Donnie: I thought I saw someone. Leo, stop the Shellraiser.

Leo: Got it!

Anton turns their way just in time to be struck by the Shellraiser.

Artemy: Is he crazy?!

Sly: Maybe.

Artemy and Matias runs to Anton.

Jonah: The heck was that?!

Mickie: Don't tell me we hit an animal! Please don't be an animal! Please don't be an animal!

Rach: Don't worry, Mick! We didn't hit an animal!

Mickie: Oh thank goodness!

Mao Yin: Well maybe it was another Kraang defense mechanism.

Pimiko: Maybe. But what's this blue backpack doing here?

Raph: That's weird.

Aoi: So does that mean we h-h-h-hit a per-per-person?

Sonia: It seems so... However, there's no body here. He or she must've got up and run away before we even came out of the Shellraiser.

Rin: That's creepy!

Sonia: It is creepy...

Mirajane: We should open this up. See what could be inside.

Akame: And remember, do it with extreme caution. It can be anything in there.

Leone: Cash! Food! Maybe even weapons!

Tatsumi: Not helping!

Leo opens the backpack. They gasped as they see the Kuro Kabuto.

Mine: Isn't that Shredder's helmet?!

Rachel A.: How did it get all the way here?

Rachel M.: I bet someone stole it! And when we hit the person, he or she must've dropped it and forgot about it.

Lea: This is awesome! (picks it up) We should bring this to the Lair!

Rach: Isn't that a bit heavy for you to carry?

Sly: Let me get that for you. (swipes it away) This helmet belongs to me, Sly Cooper.

Carmelita: Sly! I have finally found you!

Sly: Carmelita... Hey beautiful.

Carmelita: Don't "Hey beautiful" me! This is my chance to get your arrested, you thieving raccoon!

Sly: You never seem to give up on arresting me. Even if you did, where could you possibly put me in? We're not in Paris you know.

Carmelita: I know that! Just shut up, you thieving raccoon!

Tsukuyo: You two don't seem to get along *that* well.

Carmelita: Of course we don't! I would never associate myself to this thief!

Satori: But he does look cute though...

Mickie: Yeah! Raccoons can be adorable!

Carmelita: Don't compliment him!

Sly: (chuckles) Why thank you. Now if you excuse me I better get going.

Vaporeon: Hold on! We need that helmet actually!

Sly: For what?

Espeon: For research!

Sly: Well alright. I guess I can stick with you guys.

Then, a gigantic squadron of Foot-Bots show up wielding Naginata and Tonfa and are ready to confront the Turtles.

Aoi: Great! We have Foot-Bots here!

Flareon: Weilding Naginatas and Tonfas... Big mistake.

Jolteon: Time for some action!

Vaporeon: Leo?!

Leo: Right! We should fuse!

Raph: Fine by me!

Donnie: Agree!

Mikey: Awesome!

Turtles: Pokemon Fusion! (transforms)

Leo: Human Vaporeon!

Raph: Human Flareon!

Donnie: Human Espeon!

Mikey: Human Jolteon!

Sly: (whistles) Nice... Never thought you could do that.

Leo/Vaporeon: Let's do this, team!

Everyone: Right!

As they fight against the Foot-Bots, they are being watched from above.

Kanami: Do you think they can handle this by themselves?

Rin O.: I believe so. They look strong enough to take them on their own. So we shouldn't worry about them that much.

Kanami: If you say so...

They continued to watch them fight. Suddenly, some portals appear.

Leo: Huh?!

Some Grimms steps out of the portal.

Ruby R.: Oh no! It's the Grimms!

Akame: Grimms?

Weiss: They are described as "creatures of destruction" and lack a soul; hence, they are unable to use Aura. They are also drawn to feelings of negativity- such as envy, sadness, loneliness, and hatred- often congregating towards the source of these emotions. At one point, ancient cultures believed that Grimm were animals possessed by evil spirits or were the spirits of once tortured animals.

Leone: Oh~ now it's getting exciting!

Blake: You better be careful. They can be quite powerful.

Mo-tan: Got it! (moos) Let's kick their asses!

Natsu: Right! Come and get us, Grimms!

Aqua: Should we help them now?! Like could they seriously take those creatures on?!

Rin O.: . . .

Korekiyo: I think she's thinking about it.

Aqua: Seriously?! Rin, you gotta say yes! They can't handle this! (pushes her back and forth) Come on, just say yes and we can save them! Please?!

Rin O.: Calm down, Aqua! Fine, we'll give them some assistance.

Aqua: Thank you! Now come on! We should get down there before they get hurt! (falls down)

Kanami: Aqua! (jumps down and grabs Aqua) Gotcha! (lands) You okay?

Aqua: Fine... I'm okay... (stands up)

Kanami: Let's give them a helping hand!

Star: Rolling Thunder Lightning Blast!

Miu: They just keep coming! We're outnumber!

Weiss: Never thought there would be more. I wonder what keeps luring them here. (slashes)

Espeon: It has to be something negative! Like you say, they're drawn to any negative emotion! Maybe that includes negative energy as well!

Donnie: Psybeam!

[SLASH]

Rin O.: Need some assistance?

Peko: Another swordswoman...

Kanami: Make that two! (slashes) We're here to help you out!

Aqua: And I also will help you out as well!

Satania: You are?

Aqua: I'm Aqua! I'm a Goddess of Water!

Satania: Goddess?! Yuck! I hate Goddesses! Unless the Goddesses are evil that is then I can tolerate that.

Aqua: (growling) You're so rude! I'm quite powerful and I'll show it to you!

Satania: Amuse me.

Aqua: (charges at Grimm) God Blow!

But it fails miserably.

Satania: (laughing hysterically) That's it?! You're a pathetic excuse for a Goddess of Water! You're supposed to be all powerful! Where's your true power?!

Aqua: Shut up, you demon!

Satania: That's Demon Queen Satania to you! Show me some respect!

Aqua: (growling)

Weiss: Stop your arguments. We're done here.

Aqua: Already?!

Ibaraki: That was easy! (giggles)

Leone: Yeah! Now we should head back to the Lair!

Yin: Right.

The group then retreat with the helmet, while Anton Zeck manages to slip a small tracking beacon onto the back of their vehicle as they escape.

Artemy: Good idea. That way we can get the helmet back.

Matias: Hope they don't recognize it.

Anton: Nothing to worry about. I think everything should go as planned.

### Foot HQ

#### Throne Room

Kameko: What did you call us here for?

Malamar: A thief had stolen the Kuro Kabuto! We want everyone to look for it and return the helmet here!

Nui: Oh~ a thief! (chuckles) I'm gonna have so much fun with this thief!

Fishface: That's what you call us here for? Can you just get another helmet? Like what's so special about this particular helmet?

Disrespected, Shredder knocks Fishface to the floor.

Shredder: Maybe I should inform you about this. The Foot Clan's founder was an expert in swordsmanship and was rumored to have the potential of being the most skilled warrior in Japan. He utterly devastated hundreds of his enemies and took their weapons as mementos. He took all of those mementos and combined them to eventually form a metallic creation that was beyond the strength of steel - my helmet. Also known as the Kuro Kabuto. I have promised to protect it with my very life. If any of you were to fail, the penalties will be significant.. Do you understand me?

Everyone: Yeah!

Malamar: Now get moving! There's no time to waste!

### Later

Fishface stakes on the rooftops alongside the airborne Baxter-Fly.

Fishface: Can't wait to get that helmet back so I don't need at Shredder's ugly face. In fact, he's much ugly then you.

Cherevil: That's so rude! I should attack you!

Houndoom: You should attack me first before attacking FIshface!

Cherevil: Oh yeah?!

Houndoom: Yeah!

Baxter-Fly: Stop it you idiots!

Houndoom: Flamethrower!

Cherevil: Fairy Wind!

[SCREAMING]

Ivy: What was that?

Yuki: Let's check it out.

Fishface: Are you crazy?! We would've been fried!

Houndoom: She started it!

Cherevil: No way! You were the one who challenged me!

Houndoom: Nah-uh!

Cherevil: Uh-huh!

Baxter-Fly: Stop fighting! Both of you!

Houndoom: (growling) Take this! Fire Blast!

Cherevil: Shadow Ball!

Fishface: Not again!

[SCREAMING]

### Rahzar and Tiger Claw

Rahzar - (Sniffs) The scent is faint, but I think he went this way.

Tiger Claw - (Sniffs) This way. (goes in other direction) He’s on foot, but he’s got-. (Sniffs) -Devices, electric motors, faint whiff of ozone.

Rahzar - Hmm, You’ve got a good sense of smell for a cat.

Tiger Claw - We are warriors, can’t we fight side by side without letting species get in the way?

Rahzar - Absolutely! Xever is always saying, 'Oh, Tiger Claw must hate you, because you’re a dog'.

Tiger Claw - That's ridiculous!

Rahzar - I know, right?

Tiger Claw - Although, I do want eat him because he's a fish.

Rahzar - Eh, I would eat him just to shut him up.

Machamp: Agree.

### Shellraiser

Korekiyo: The Kuro Kabuto... I have heard of this before. Let me tell you a little story about that helmet Shredder always wear. The Kuro Kabuto is an ancient relic and symbol of the Foot Clan. It was created by the clan's founder, Koga Takuza, about 1,500 years ago. To forge it he used the totems of his defeated enemies, creating a helmet stronger than steel. You can't physically destroy it no matter how many tools and weaponry you have. It's that strong.

Nyaa-tan: We can sell a fortune out of this!

Weiss: Hold on! We aren't selling anything!

Lea: I have a good idea.

Mine: Spill it out!

Lea: I was thinking we should make a trade. We'll go to Foot HQ and have Shredder agree to an exchangement. If he wants this helmet he has to give us Miwa. That way she can come to the Lair in one piece, Sensei would be happy, and we'll be living happily ever after. What do you think about that?

Akame: Actually, that would work.

Oktokki: Dong-uihada! {Translation: Agree!}

Leone: Great idea!

Mo-tan: I like the plan of that!

Alolan Raichu: So we're in the same page! Perfect!

Rin O.: if we *are* going to this Foot HQ, we have to be careful.

Satori: We have been careful...

Tsukuyo: Even so, we must be careful with our enemies. They could plan traps on us.

Aoi and Sonia: Right.

Sonia: Though we could distract them...

Ibuki: Ibuki can distract them with my music! Nobody can't resist it!

Raph: Whoa whoa whoa! You're all being overly delusional and that this whole mission is a waste of our resources! We don't have time to save someone who was raised by Shredder!

Lea: Shut up! You don't understand her at all! What if you were raised in the Foot Clan and Shredder lied to you all this time?! How would that make you feel?!

Raph: Mad obviously! Maybe beyond anger!

Lea: So that's why we should do this!

Mickie: If not I'm gonna tickle you!

Raph: Why?

Mickie: You're gonna laugh so hard your shell gets popped out of your body! Now you better agree to this mission or no shell forever!

Raph: (sighs) Fine... I'll join you in this "rescue" mission. But if something happen it's gonna be Lea's fault.

Lea: Why thank you, Raph. (realizes what he says) Hey! Don't put the blame train on me!

Flareon: Well this is your idea. So you should take the blame. And also want to blame Leo for even considering of trusting Karai in the first place.

Vaporeon: Don't start blaming us for this! Karai is family! We can't abandon family! And besides, this isn't for our sake. This is for *Sensei's* sake. We're bringing Karai home and that's final! And if you don't like that you can just walk home.

Flareon: No thanks! Jeez, you're so stubborn.

Vaporeon: Not as stubborn as you, Pyro.

Flareon: Hm, true... Nobody can't be as stubborn or more as me.

Mickie sniffs the air.

Mickie: Someone's here.

Anton Zeck glides from rooftop to rooftop with long rays of energy that come from devices positioned near his feet. After he eventually gets side by side with the Shellraiser, he uses the same trick he used on the Foot-Bots in order to knock the Shellraiser on one of it's sides.

Kanami: The heck?!

Satania: Who did that?!

Erza: Is everyone okay?

Mickie: I'm fine! (sniffs) It's a young man. (sniffs) Smells like he has devices. (sniffs) Very expensive devices. (sniffs) And he has two people with him. (sniffs) A girl and a boy.

He then uses his motorized backpack to slide down a wall of a nearby building. However, he pauses when he sees both Tiger Claw and Rahzar together.

Anton Zeck: There are so many freaks around here. This town is really going down hill.

Mickie: (sniffs) Now Tiger Claw and Rahzar are coming!

Ryuko: Wha?! How did you figure it out it was them?!

Mickie: I'm part -vampire actually.

Mikey: Vampire?! I didn't know that!

Mickie: Don't worry! My vampire teeth are small so it won't really leave any marks. And also, I don't drink blood. I remember one time I drink blood but it was disgusting! That's why I can control my vampire urges unless it's necessary.

Mikey: Wow~! That's so cool!

Ryuko: You can fanboy later! We have bigger things to worry about.

They get out of the Shellraiser.

Nonon: What do you want, furballs?!

Tiger Claw: The helmet. I know you have it.

Korekiyo: (carrying Kuro Kabuto) You mean the Kuro Kabuto?

Aoi: Sorry but we're gonna use it!

Rahzar: Don't make this difficult as it has to.

Rach: You want it *that* badly?! Then we should fight for it!

Lea: Great idea! Let's do that!

Tiger Claw: You're being ridiculous. That helmet is special. Master Shredder needs it.

Lea: Not until we finish *our* mission! If you want this helmet you have to go through us first!

Dani: If you dare!

Tiger Claw: Fine! We have no other choice but to do this the hard way.

Rahzar: Prepare to be destroyed...

Ryuko: You should prepare as well! For the ass-kicking you're gonna get!

Mo-tan: Good one!

Ryuko: Thanks. Time for a battle!

Leone: Right!

(boss battle: Defeat Tiger Claw and Rahzar)

Tiger Claw pounces at Lea.

Lea: Hey! I'm not in the menu! (pushes him with her feet) If you're looking for fish check the fish market! It has some good shrimp! Mm~ shrimp...

Raph: Leave him to me!

Tigress and Shima-tan: And us too!

Tiger Claw: More tigers... I have enough of tigers...

Raph: Then you should leave! This city is my territory!

Tiger Claw: (growling aggressively)

Raph: (growling aggressively) To you back! Now come on! I'm hungry for some action here! Don't bore me!

Tiger Claw: Have it your way. (charges at them)

Shima-tan: Here he comes!

Raph: Now this is what I'm talking about! Come at us!

Mikey/Jolteon: Take this, Rahzar! Pin Missile!

Rahzar: (dodges) That won't work like last time. (pounces at Mikey/Jolteon) I'll eat you whole.

Mikey: What?! I'm not turtle food! And besides, I'm sorry about what happened to you being mutated into a wolf! But look at the bright side! You look awesome!

Jolteon: Super awesome!

Donnie: Psybeam! (hits Rahzar) Mikey, you need to focus on the fight!

Mikey/Jolteon: Sorry, dude!

Espeon: (sighs) Do we have to do everything around here?

Mikey/Jolteon: Catch, Donnie! (throws Kuro Kabuto at Donnie) Protect the helmet!

Donnie/Espeon catches the helmet.

Donnie/Espeon: Are you crazy?!

They take to the rooftops to try and avoid a larger fight.

Fishface: I believe you have something we need.

Michelangelo: Deodorant?

Cherevil: Give us the helmet!

Houndoom: Or face some harsh burns!

Nui: Or from us!

Kurome: You're completely surrounded.

Junko: Nowhere else to run! So just give up!

Akame: We're not giving you the helmet.

Leone: You have to fight for it!

Mo-tan: So bring it on!

Nyaa-tan: Yeah!

Rahzar: (growls) Get them!

(boss battle: Defeat the villains)

Natsu: Fire Dragon's Roar!

Wendy: Sky Dragon's Roar!

Gajeel: Iron Dragon's Roar!

Nui: (dodges) Missed! (chuckles)

Natsu: She's fast!

Raph: I got this! Flamethrower!

Nui: (dodges) You think that would work?! Think again! (kicks him to the billboard)

He then gets pinned down by the billboard.

Mao Yin: Raph, no!

Raph/Flareon: (groans in pain)

Leo: You okay?!

Raph/Flareon: We're fine.

Donnie: Leo, catch! (throws Kuro Kabuto to Leo)

He catches it.

Raph: Listen, take the Kuro Kabuto to Shredder's lair by yourself.

Vaporeon: What?! I thought you said saving Karai is a complete waste of time and resources!

Flareon: We were wrong. If you're so determined to save her despite everything she had done then go right ahead and save her yourself. We'll handle these punks to get you some time.

Leo: Alright. Thanks.

Raph/Flareon: No problem! Just go with the stupid helmet!

They nodded and runs away while Raph and the others deal with Fishface and Baxter.

Vaporeon: So any ideas how to lose Tiger Claw and Rahzar?!

Leo: I have one. But it's gonna be stinky.

Leo manages to conceal himself inside a dumpster and he throws a banana at some other trash cans, which diverts the villains' attention.

Vaporeon: *THIS* is the plan?! Hiding inside a dumpster?!

Leo: I told you this plan will involve stink. But don't worry. I'll have a nice hot shower to get ourselves clean.

Vaporeon: Good. You know how much I hate stinky things. Especially dumpsters! So much trash!

Leo: (shushes) Quiet down. You're gonna get their attention.

Vaporeon: Sorry...

Just when Leo exits an alley way, he hears the thief laughing nearby and he ends up kicking Anton onto the sidewalk, where he places a bag full of diapers over his neck.

Anton: This must be the bag I was looking for!

Artemy: All right!

Vaporeon: Hey, just who are you?!

Matias: Uh-oh.

A small pursuit ensues, with Anton easily getting knocked down. However, just then, Steranko arrives in a helicopter and he thwarts off the Foot Soldiers with projectiles. Zeck then enters the helicopter with the use of a rope.

Artemy: So long, suckers!

Leo/Vaporeon: Damn, they got away...

Rhydon: Did you bring the helmet?

Anton: Of course I did! Check it out!

Steranko: Why am I smelling the baby poops?

-opens the bag to reveal a bunch of diapers. Steranko becomes angry at Zeck-

Steranko: I going to pop your head like blueberry!

Anton Zeck: You know, that's to be expected.

Marmothief: We must've mistaken the bag for Shredder's helmet!

Pilfiend: Please don't get mad at us!

Steranko: Rhydon!

Rhydon: Right!

Anton: Oh crud. (screams)

Leo: (turns back to normal) Sorry, Undertow. But I have a better idea to make sure this helmet is safe.

Vaporeon: Huh? What kind of plan?

Leo takes out his Pokeball before transforming into his Wolf Form.

Leo: Bandit, come on out!

Lucario: Lucar!

Leo: Bandit, I need you to carry this helmet to Foot HQ. It's time we confront Shredder about this.

Lucario: Understood. But you sure you want to confront him alone? You know how powerful Shredder is. Fighting him isn't an option.

Leo: Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Lucario: Okay. Hope you're right about this.

### Foot HQ

#### Shredder's Throne Room

Android 21: Oh my. Looks like we have a little guest. A *furry* guest.

Shredder (Bear Form): A guest eh?

[DOOR SLAM OPEN]

Leo: Shredder?

Shredder: What brings you here, wolf?

Vaporeon: What the...?! You're a bear?! How?!

Android 21: Just a little serum I created thanks to the chemicals the Kraang gave me. It's simple really. I mixed Mutagen from the Kraang's dimension with an animal DNA. Specifically the bear. Inject him with it and now he can transform into this form at will.

Leo: (growling)

Malamar: So what brings you here?

Leo: We have your stupid helmet. But if you want it you have to give us Karai in exchange for the helmet.

Malamar: I see...

Shredder: (takes a bite of a steak) Foot-Bot, bring Karai from the dungeon.

Leo: (thinking) That was easy. *Too* easy.... What's his plan? And why would he want to become an animal like me and my brothers? So weird....

Shredder: In any conflict, the more powerful foe is prepared to do what the weaker one could not.

Leo: Huh? What does that even mean?

Vaporeon: Don't know. Don't care.

Karai is then brought out of a hallway with a sack over her head.

Shredder: Now give me my helmet. There is no possible way you can avoid a fight.

Thus, Leo changes into his normal form, sets the helmet down adjacent to his feet and draws a single Katana to fight Shredder with.

Shredder: What's this? You want to fight me? (changes to his Human Form)

Lucario: Leonardo, don't! You know what happened last time we have fought him!

Shredder easily pins Leo up against a nearby wall.

Lucario and Vaporeon: Leo!

Shredder: Your sensei is a coward! You should never come here alone! (squeezes his neck harder)

Leo: (grunting in pain) Let... me... go...

Lucario: Shredder, we have brought the helmet! Just take it! Don't hurt him!

Shredder: (takes out Pokeball) Come on out, Natsu! Use Fire Punch on Lucario!

Emboar: Emboar! Fire Punch!

Lucario: (screams in pain)

Vaporeon: (growling) How dare you! Aqua Tail!

Emboar: Hyper Beam!

Vaporeon: (screams in pain before fainting)

Shredder: Even your Pokemon are weak! You will never beat me! Not in a million years! With these animal powers I can crush you into pieces! So any last words before I kill you?!

Bandit slowly stands up with his eyes glowing red.

Lucario: How dare you... (growling)

Emboar: Huh? What's going on with him?

Lucario: Aura Sphere! (hits Natsu)

Emboar faints due to impact of the wall.

Lucario: Now you're turn! Bone Rush! (hits Shredder which cause him to let go)

Leo: Bandit... (starts glowing) Thanks...

Lucario: (starts glowing) Anything to keep you safe... What you're doing is completely reckless.

Leo: I know. I'm sorry. I should've listen to you when you say we can't fight him. Undertow, return!

Lucario: Don't worry about it. Now we have to deal with him.

Leo: Right!

Lucarionite appeared on Bandit's arm as an armlet.

Leo: Lucarionite! That means you can Mega Evolve!

Lucario: And that means we can fuse together. Let's try it out.

Leo: (nods) Bandit, fuse with me! (fuses with Bandit) Human Lucario!

The Keystone and Lucarionite fused to turn into orange. It landed on the katanas to turn into gauntlets with blue orbs on each hand.

Shredder: Human Pokemon?! I have heard legends of it a long time ago. I always thought it was nothing more then stories. But it's real...

Leo: We did it, Bandit! We fused into one!

Lucario: We did. Now remember. We must work as one unit. Don't mess this up or the consequences will be dire.

Leo: Understood.

Shredder: Human Pokemon or not, I'm gonna kill you along with all of your allies! That will also include Hamato Yoshi. Then victory shall be mine.

Leo: Not if we do something about this! Ready, Bandit?!

Lucario: Ready!

### Outside

#### Rooftops

Tiger Claw: Let us go!

Dani: No can do! This rope is the strongest rope of all the Magic Dimension! Nobody can't cut this out by any means necessary! Only those with strong magic can untie themselves.

Raph/Flareon: Finally we're done here! (separates from each other)

Raph: I get to relax and have some good meat.

Rach: Not yet. We have to get to Leo. He could already be at Foot HQ right now.

Raph: And then I can eat some meat?

Rach nods.

Raph: Then what are we standing around for?! Let's go!

Dani: I got this. (snaps her finger to teleport everyone to Shredder's Throne Room) And we're here.

Shredder: (panting)

Leo: Now who's gonna win this?!

Raph: Leo? No way. It can't be.

Leo: Hey guys! Glad you're here!

Shredder: (growling) That's it! Now I'm mad! (changes to his Bear Form) Prepare to be destroyed! (roars)

Mikey: Whoa, he can turn into an animal now?!

Android 21: Thanks to my special serum. (chuckles) Go get them, Master Shredder! Show them *your* wild side!

Mao Yin: What should we do?! We can't beat him!

Luna: Yeah!

Lea: Grab Karai and get the shell outta here!

They manage to distract him long enough so that they can get to Karai relatively quickly. Donnie then stuffs a smoke pellet into the Kabuto and tosses it into Shredder's hands, only for him to get blinded for several seconds. This allows time for the Turtles to escape.

Shredder: Curse you, Turtles! (roars angrily)

### Rooftops

Leo splits from Lucario.

Leo: We did it. We saved her.

Akame sets Karai down. However, after removing the sack on Karai's head, it is revealed that this Karai is nothing but a replica and her head is a bomb. The Turtles then start fleeing in a different direction, but the device activates and thrusts them high into the air.

Ochaco: I got you! (levitates everyone to safety)

Kanami: That was a blast.

Weiss: He tricked us!

Sonia: He somehow knew we were going to do that.

Korekiyo: And thus create a fake Karai while keeping the *real* one in the dungeon.

Blake: Shredder is not gonna give her up *that* easily without a fight.

Satania: He's gonna pay for this! How dare he trick the great Satania like that! What a big meanie!

Lea: Ah man... This is ridiculous!

Leo: Don't worry, Lea. Once we train hard enough we'll try saving Karai again. I promise you I won't stop until she's brought home safely.

Lea: Right, Leo. I trust you on that. (chuckles with a warm smile)

Mikey: Mickie, since you're part vampire, can you fly with your vampire wings?!

Mickie: Absolutely, master! (sprouts out her vampire wings)

Mikey and Jolteon: Awesome~! Fly us! Fly us!

Mickie: Of course! (grabs Mikey by the arms) Hold on tight! (flies up)

Mikey: Wow~!

Jolteon: This is so cool!

Mickie: (chuckling)
