Episode 23: Mutagen Man

"**The Pulverizer Returns!**" (TMNT X Pokemon: Mutagen Man) is the 22nd episode (TMNT X Pokemon: 23rd episode) of the 2012 TV series. It aired on Saturday, May 11, 2013.

## Synopsis

Splinter has the Ninja Turtles switch weapons as part of their ninja training which doesn't go well during a fight with the Footresulting in Splinter confiscating their weapons and having them use whatever is nearby as makeshift weapons in combat. Meanwhile, Shredder learns about the Mutagen from the captive Kraang operative where he states that the mutagen has unpredictable results. When Shredder plans to create an army of mutants, the Turtles must rely on the help of the Pulverizer (who was recruited into the Foot) who volunteers to gather information on the inside on their behalf. When he carelessly agrees to be a test subject for a stolen supply of Kraang Mutagen, the Turtles' rescue mission (where they managed to follow Splinter's makeshift weapon advice) goes horribly wrong when Pulverizer mutates into a mutant blob with visible organs. After the mission,Donatello vows to find a way to restore Pulverizer to normal. The captive Kraang operative states to Shredder that they now share a common enemy in the Turtles.

*(Note: In my version, the heroes are sick so April/Koi, Mutsumi/Bunny, Freya/Squirella, Mikoto/Leopa, Rin/Beast Queen, and Drake/Wild D. decided to take their place)*

## Script

This episode opens with the Turtles fighting with the Foot on a random rooftop, and pretty easily winning as usual.

Akane: Hmph! This is too easy!

Ryuko: Yeah! These Foot ninjas seem to be lacking some training.

Akame: Right. I believe they lack some training because of Shredder's efforts of destroying us.

Leone: Who cares about that?! Let's finish them off and...

Suddenly, a large group of Pox appeared.

Pox Army: Pox! Pox! Pox!

Mine: What are those things?!

Tashigi takes out a Pokedex.

**Pokedex: Pox, the Contagious Pokemon. Pox are very playful Pokemon that are able to enter the bodies of others and cause minor illnesses. They usually do it for the sheer fun of it.**

Tashigi: Everyone, we must run! It says here that these can get into our bodies and cause us to become sick!

Raph: Wha?!

But before they could do anything, the Pox enter everyone's body which makes them cough and gag.

Kokonoe: Too late for that. Let's get outta here!

They quickly leave the rooftops to the Lair.

### Foot HQ

#### Shredder's Lair

Shredder: So the group of Pox have successfully entered the Turtles' bodies? Excellent! I am quite pleased.

Nui: With it, they won't be able to fight against us!

Shredder: Which render them useless. (laughs evilly) This is one of the perfect plans I could've ever come up with.

Nui: (chuckling) Yup, yup, yup!

### Lair

#### Common Area

Everyone groans as they become sick.

Tashigi: I told you this would happen.

Leo: (coughs) Those Pox sure do make you sick quick.

Raph: (sneezes) This is the worse!

Mikey: (groans) I hate being sick...

Drake: Whoa, did something happen?!

Jolteon: Pox happen. (sneezes) We got sick by them.

Chespin: Now who's gonna beat the bad guys?!

Rockruff: We can! (barks)

April: I got your text. Can't believe you all caught Pox in your system.

Flareon: We know. (coughs) Could you really handle our job?!

Growlithe: Of course we can!

Snowpard: No doubt about it!

Shiny Zorua: As long as we get something in return. (chuckles mischievously)

Flareon: (sneezes) Just do the patrol for us.

Rockruff: You heard him! Let's go on a patrol!

Drake: I wanna come too!

Chespin: We're done for tonight's shifts!

Drake: Besides, I wanna be including to the team!

Gabriella: Should we?

April: Yeah. As long as you don't get in the way.

Drake: Promise! Thank you so much! You won't be disappointed!

Rin: Rin's coming as well! Pretty please?!

Chloe M.: Fine... Come on. We have some patrolling to do.

Rin and Drake: Right!

### Outside

(exploration mode: Explore via streets)

Mikoto: This is gonna be our first *real* mission. Everyone, we must be serious about this.

Freya: Of course, Miko! We're still training as kunoichis!

Drake: Don't forget about me!

Freya: You want to be a ninja?

Drake: Well yeah! It's just, I don't want to be a burden while everyone is risking their lives fighting against the Kraang! That's why I want to be a ninja so I can help you guys out! I know it sounds selfish but I just wanna be included!

April: We know, Drake. For now, we should be focusing on this one. (notices TCRI) You guys wanna go inside and see what's going on in there?

Everyone: Absolutely!

Rin: R-Right! (chuckles)

### TCRI

Mikoto: I don't see anything through these night vision goggles.

Chloe M.: Then guess we should just...

Mikoto: Hold on! I see someone down there!

Freya: Let's tackle that person!

Gabriella: Hell yeah! Let's do it!

At the right timing, they tackle down the person.

???: Huh?!

???: Get off of me!

???: Well that was surprising!

Mikoto: Eh?

Chloe M.: Oh hey there! (gets off of them) Sorry about that.

Pulverizer: Why did you do that for?!

Freya: We thought you were some kind of intruder. Who are you?

Pulverizer: The name's Pulverizer! But you can call me by my real name; Timothy or Tim for short.

Katherine: The name's Katherine! You can call me Kat for short! Or Katyln or Katy if you prefer to call me.

April: Miara? What are you doing here?

Miara: Oh hey, April. Didn't see you there. You sure scare us.

```
**Full Name: Miara Lee'**

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Appearance: She has average-length raven hair. Her eyes are dark brown, which sometimes make them look like black. She is slightly chubby, even though she won't admit it, but it isn't obvious. She is at least 5 ft tall (It depends on the situation if she likes her height or not).

Personality: She is shy for as long as she can remember, especially when meeting new people. But she knows when to be confident. She always looks at the bright side to avoid feeling down, but everyone has secrets. She is actually facing depression due to problems at school. But she has never considered cutting, because of her friends' protectiveness towards her. She is always sarcastic, due to her "Tsundere" personality. And she doesn't really enjoy being teased, so tell a joke to avoid going to the hospital, she'll calm down. And if she doesn't get mad at people all of a sudden, she could be in love. She's not the type of person to brag, heck, she even hates compliments. She accepts compliments, but she never actually liked them, because she knows there will always be someone better than her. And she is usually honest, but she lies when she needs to. She is extremely loyal to her friends, so the moment she is betrayed, she would feel hurt and even shut everyone out.

Extra Info:

She is Karai's cousin in a way, because her (biological) mother is somehow related to Tang Shen, but she doesn't know it yet.

She lost her left foot in a fight when she and the turtles were trying to save Leo after Karai kidnapped him. Karai's the one who caused it, but it was an accident. Knowing that she is the stepdaughter of her 'aunt', she felt extremely guilty about it. But Mia shrugged it off and said 'It's fine'. Donnie made a robotic foot for her.

She was forced to join the Foot at one time, but she was saved by the turtles after a while. But she still spies on the Foot and keeps the uniform because she honestly likes it.

She actually had a crush on Leo once, but soon got over it for an unknown reason. They are now close friends though, because she can relate to him easily.'

```

April: Sorry!

Mikoto: Why are you three doing with the Foot?

Pulverizer: We've been recruited!

Freya: Seems like Shredder is desperate to get more people to join him.

Pulverizer: And besides, I already had gotten into the rank "Oshegotusha."

Mutsumi: Do you know what Oshegotusha means?

Emolga: Soldier?!

Mutsumi: No. It means the expendable cannon-fodder. Those who distract the enemies and set off all of their traps before anyone could enter it.

Freya: Meaning you are the dummy! The test subject!

Timothy: Oh~! Now I get it.

Freya: (sighs) Such an idiot...

Timothy: I'm not an idiot! We've been helping the Foot fight against the Kraang!

Mikoto: Say what now?

Snowpard: The Foot fighting against the Kraang?

Rockruff: That's weird!

Growlithe: Why would they fight against the Kraang?

Shiny Zorua: It doesn't make sense at all!

Emolga: It's true! Honest!

Freya: Still, the Foot are nothing more then bad guys.

Katy: Well we can be spies for you.

April: Spies?

Chloe M.: I don't know.

Drake: You're gonna get yourself killed if they find out you're gonna be spies!

Timothy: We'll be fine! Don't worry about it! Oh and I could really use your phone numbers so we can contact each other.

Rin: We should give them a chance...

April: Alright but be careful.

Emolga: Not to worry!

### Lair

#### Common Area

Leo: The Foot is fighting against the Kraang? You sure?

April (speaker): Yeah I'm sure! I don't know why specifically but I speculate Shredder want some of their weaponry. That's only a guess.

Freya: We'll keep you updated if anything!

Mutsumi: Get well, everyone. (hangs up)

Donnie: This is getting weird. (sneezes)

Espeon: Why would Shredder be all of a sudden interested in the Kraang?

Celestia: And I thought he doesn't want to do anything about these aliens at all.

Aoi: Something's definitely up!

Sonia: Just what is he planning?

Kirumi: (came to the living room with a tea set) We may never know until they update us with the latest information. (puts the tray down) Tea anyone?

Everyone: We do... (sneezes)

Kirumi: This is gonna be longer then expected.

### April

Squriella: Stop right there! Just what do you think you're doing with all that stuff?!

Fishface: You!

Canine: That's right!

Beast Queen: Now you better put it down right now or else!

Dogpound: Oh yeah? Get 'hem!

(mini-boss battle: Defeat the Foot Ninjas)

Xiao Long: Is that all you got?!

Wild D.: Seems like it!

Dogpound: (growling)

Canine: Come and get us, furball!

(boss battle: Defeat Dogpound and Fishface)

Dogpound: They're good.

Beast Queen: Roar of the Beast Queen! (roars)

They both frozen in fear.

Beast Queen: That's more like it.

Wild Dog: Looks like we're done here!

Xiao Long: Now I have to get back to my cave for some good sleep. (leaves)

Koi: Bye for now, dragon breath. (chuckles)

### Lair

#### Common Area

Bailey: Still not feeling well. Splinter, we must do something.

Splinter: I know. I do have one suggestion. Pox are like germs so they can't stand being in freezing temperatures. Have them drink something cold.

Bailey: You sure that would work?

Splinter: It depends.

Bailey: I hope you're right.

### April

April: Guys, look at this.

Everyone: (gasps)

Freya: So that's his plan eh?

Mikoto: He's planning to utilize the Mutagen to create a ferocious Mutant army of his very own.

Mutsumi: Is that even possible?

April: I don't know but we have to contact the others.

Drake: A Mutant army?! Now that's scary!

### Foot HQ

#### Shredder's Lair

Shredder: Dogpound, lead the Foot Ninjas to a certain warehouse. And bring The Pulverizer along with you.

Dogpound: Why?

Shredder: Because he'll be my first test subject for the plan.

Kraang: The one whose name is Shredder, the Mutagen is very unstable on the planet known as Earth as of now. It can resulted that are desired may be dangerously unpredictable.

Malamar: True... Have some failsafe measures to be enforced after everything comes to order! That way we can be certain to see it ourselves.

### April

[PHONE BEEPING]

April: That must be him. (reads text and gasps) Shredder's gonna have Tim to be a test subject for an experiment!

Mikoto: What?! No way!

Freya: We can't let that happen!

Mutsumi: We have to get there fast!

Drake: How?!

April: He had given me the address to the Fortune Cookie Factory. That's where the experiment's gonna be at.

Rin: We won't make it in time!

April: Maybe we can. I have been doing some training with my Kitsune form. I think I can teleport all of you there.

Freya: You can?

April: Let me try. (closes her eyes) Everyone, hold hands.

They hold hands. As they hold hands, April starts a chant.

April: *Fōchun kukkī fakutori ni subayaku akusesu suru tame ni, doko ka ni hayaku ikimashou. Terepōto!* {Translation: Take us to somewhere in a faster pace to get to the Fortune Cookie Factory quickly. Teleport!}

[ZOOP]

### Fortune Cookie Factory

They were able to get inside the factory but in the air and then falls down.

Chloe M.: Way to go, April!

April: Hey that was my first time doing that!

Freya: But we got inside so that's good...

Mutsumi: Though a softer landing would be nice....

Mikoto: My butt hurts! Train harder on teleportation next time!

Nui: Whoa, I never knew she could teleport.

Esdeath: That doesn't matter. You are all interfering with the experiment! I should punished you to death!

Mikoto: Crap, now we're dealing with the big guns!

Esdeath: I believe freezing you to death is appropriate for you. Master?

Shredder: Go right ahead. They're wasting my time.

Chloe M.: Oh shit.

Esdeath: I'll show you the power of the Teigu Demon's Extract. (creates a huge blizzard)

Everyone: (grunting)

Mikoto: It's so cold...

Freya: She really wants to kill us!

Esdeath: That's right! Froze into a statue!

April's eyes turn golden and summons a huge fire to surround them from the blizzard.

Esdeath: What? (stops) How's that possible?

Shredder: That's no ordinary fire. Esdeath, you must flee! That's Fox Fire that a Kitsune can use!

Esdeath: Kitsune? Don't tell me...

April transforms into her Half-Kitsune Form.

Esdeath: ...she's a Kitsune?! (gets punched by April) A strong one too...

Shredder: I never dreamed this would happened... A Kitsune reincarnated...

April: If you want to hurt my friends you have to fight me first!

Timothy: Awesome!

Emolga: Now's our chance!

Timothy: Eh? What are you talking about? I'm staying here.

Freya: Don't be an idiot, Tim! That Mutagen is dangerous!

Mikoto: And unpredictable! You don't know what you'll become if you get exposed!

Shredder: Start the experiment already!

Kurome: Yes, Shredder. On it.

Everyone: No~!

Katy: Timothy! (runs)

But it was too late. He and Katy were mutated. Tim being a blob and Katy being a turtle/dragon hybrid.

Katy: What did you do to me? I'm a freak! (roars)

Kurome: Whoops. Didn't mean that to happen. My mistake. Though you do look as a hybrid. (chuckles)

Mikoto: (takes out smoke bomb) Everyone, grab them and let's go! (throws smoke bomb)

They quickly grab them and escaped before the smoke clears.

Dogpound: They got away, Master Shredder.

Shredder: Let them be. At least the Turtles won't be able to stop us for now. Though I do need some recruits to build up my army. I only need the strongest of allies that would join me of my evil reign of terror.

Dogpound: As you wish.

### Lair

Mikoto: We're sorry... We weren't able to prevent Tim to become a Mutant.

Freya: It's our fault. Guess we aren't meant to go on a serious mission.

Splinter: Do not blame yourselves. You all have shown me you are capable as a team.

Rin: We do, Sensei?

Splinter: That's right. You six will officially become a team. And April will be the leader.

April: Me? Really?

He nodded.

April: Thank you so much, Sensei! I will not disappoint you one bit! High five, everyone!

Freya, Chloe M., Mutsumi, Drake, and Rin: (high five each other) Yeah!
