[Episode starts at the Dojo, where the turtles are training and Splinter watches.]
Raph: What? Are you fighting a guy in slow motion?
Leo: I suppose I could do it faster if I ignored my form, like you.
Raph: Ignore this form!
[Raph and Leo start training until Splinter seized them by using pressure points on their necks. He releases them as the two crumble to the ground.]
Splinter: Competition is an excellent motivator but not when it turns you against each other. So now, you will spar two on two.
Leo: Okay, I'll take Don-
Splinter: You will take Raphael. You two must focus on working together, not competing with each other.
Leo: Okay, so me and Raph against Mikey and Donnie? Uh, isn't that a little unfair?
Donnie: [suspicious] Wait, what are you trying to say?
Raph: Um, how can I put this gently? We're way better than you guys.
Mikey: [scoffs] At fighting, maybe.
Raph: Uh, that's what I meant.
[Mikey and Donnie look angry]
Mikey: Oh? Fine.
Splinter: Hajime!
[Leo and Raph easily beat Donnie and Mikey. They switch places again and beat the two younger brothers again.]
Splinter: Yame!
Raph: You were right, sensei. Working together is fun.
[theme song]
[At Shredder's lair. Shredder tented his hands while looking calmly at Dogpound, who walked over to Shredder.]
Dogpound: The Purple Dragon gang agreed to raise our cut to 80%. No complaints.
Shredder: [a bit intrigued then rest his hands on the throne's armrest.] It seems your mutated form has its advantages. But do not forget our primary goal: Locating Splinter and the turtles.
[Fishface swims from below.]
Fishface:[angrily] If I weren't stuck in here, I would have caught Splinter by now.
Dogpound: But you are stuck in there.
[Dogpound starts taping on Fishface's cage. Inside, there’s a much louder sound that gives Fishface a severe headache. He grabs his gills and swims around in pain.]
Fishface: No, no, no, no! Stop that! [swims around] Stop that! Ow! Ow! Stop it! Stop it!
Dogpound: [laughs] I'm sure you'll have your chance to shine one of these days. Master Shredder might get hungry for sushi.
[The fish mutant pressed his hands and his side of the face against the glass furiously.]
Fishface: Why don't you get in the water and say that?
Shredder: Enough, Xever! Bradford is right. You are useless to me this way.
[Fishface growls and angrily swims away.]
Shredder: I'm counting on you. Find me information I can use, or Xever won't be the only one missing his legs.
[At the living room,]
Leo: Look, guys. Raph and I may be better fighters, but you're still an important part of this team.
Donnie: [annoyed] As important as you two?
Leo: Uh, very important. We shouldn't compare ourselves. It's like apples and oranges.
Mikey: [muttering] Yeah, if apples were way better, which they are.
Donnie: So the truth comes out.
Mikey: You guys think of us as some kind of B-team.
Raph: Good one, Dr. Name-enstein. We'll call you the B-team.
Mikey: Thanks. I mean, hey!
Leo: There's no shame in it. Look, they've got a B-team, too.
Ryan: We'll need backup. You two in the shirts you're coming with us.
[They teleport to a planet before Ryan and Crankshaw flip away, the two crew members getting hit with a laser and disappear.]
Crankshaw: Rodriguez and that other guy they're gone!
Ryan: Well, that's why we bring them along.
Donnie:[upset] Thanks a lot.
Leo: The point is, they had an important function. [eats a slice]
[April arrives. She looks sad.]
Donnie: April, what's wrong? Are you okay?
April: I just got mugged by some Purple Dragons. They stole my phone.
Leo: Don't worry. We'll kick their butts for you.
Raph: Yeah, we'll teach those punks to mess with April O'Neil.
April: Guys, it's just a phone. I'll get another one.
Donnie: Come on. What's the point of being a ninja if you can't help your friends when they get robbed?
Splinter: April is right. It is best to let this go.
Leo: What do you mean? Why shouldn't we get her phone back?
Splinter: One cannot predict the consequences of battle. Every fight has the potential to stir a hornet's nest. A simple cell phone does not justify this risk.
Raph: What risk? It's the Purple Dragons. Even Mikey and Donnie could beat 'em.
Donnie and Mikey: [offended] Hey!
Leo: Don't worry, sensei. We'll be careful.
[they leave]
April: Eh. What ya gonna do?
Splinter: Hope my next pupil is more obedient.
[he tosses her a staff.]
[At the purple dragon hideout. Tsoi is throwing some kunai at a poster of a turtle while Sid watches.]
Tsoi: Right in the shell. Let's see you beat that.
Sid: Watch and learn.
[Sid throws a kunai but misses. Tsoi laughs]
Sid: Oh, that's it. No more bets.
Tsoi: Come on, your luck'll turn around.
[Suddenly, he gets kicked.]
Fong: The turtles?
Raph: Sup?
Fong: Get 'em!
[Tsoi leaped toward Mikey, who took out his nunchucks.]
Mikey: Bring it.
Raph: Comin' through!
[Raph kicks him away, before Mikey could even do it. Fong and Donnie charge.]
Leo: I got it.
[Leo kicks Fong, stealing Donnie’s chance.]
Fong: Let's get out of here!
[The Purple Dragons tried to run since Sid was already knocked down. Leo gets in the way and pushes Fong to the wall.]
Leo: You punks stole a phone from a friend of ours. We want it back.
Fong: Whatever. We steal a lot of phones.
Leo: Well, let's see 'em. Now!
[The dragons show them the stuff they stole. Among them was April’s phone]
Donnie: Hey, that looks like it.
[Suddenly, something rumbled.]
Mikey: Does anyone else feel that?
Sid: What's going on?
[Suddenly, tiny robotic creatures with one eye that are red with two legs, and a single crunching mouth emerge from the hole.]
Leo: What the heck?
[The robots let out a snarl like a cat and started gathering all the stolen stuff.]
Sid: Hey, those things are stealing the stuff we stole.
Leo: Wait, where's-
[Fong had run off with the phone]
Leo: He's got the phone. B-team, get him! We'll handle the metal.
Donnie: Hey, we are-
Leo: Just go!
Raph: If you guys can't handle it, don't be ashamed to call for help.
Mikey: Oh, yeah? Well, maybe you should call us for help. Or don't call us. We'll call you. Wait, I mean-
Donnie: I think they got it.
[Mikey blows raspberries. Leo and Raph start to fight the robots as they retreat to the underground hole.]
Leo: Come on. Let's see where these things are coming from.
[Leo and Raph jump into the hole. Sid and Tsoi appear and jump into the hole while Fong leaves to look for Dogpound.]
Dogpound: What is it?
Fong: One of our guys jacked this earlier tonight. Then those turtles came looking for it, said it belongs to a friend of theirs.
Dogpound: Really?
[Above, we see Mikey and Donnie looking below from the glass window.]
Mikey: Aww, man. We can't take Dogpound on our own. Maybe we should wait for Leo and Raph.
Donnie: And tell them we chickened out? Then they'll never stop calling us the B-team. We'll use stealth. With the right plan, we can grab the phone without Dogpound ever seeing us. Okay?
[At Stockman's lair, the robots have put down the stolen stuff.]
Stockman: Well done, my pretties.
[The two turtles arrive.]
Raph:[Spinning his sai.] Dexter Spackman.
Stockman: It's Baxter Stockman!
Raph: I was close.
Stockman: So you're here to stop me again. Well, you don't stand a chance against my M. O. U. S. E. R. S.
[Mouser snapped at its jaws two times.]
Leo: M.O.U.S.E.R.S?
Stockman: Mobile offensive underground search, excavation, and retrieval sentries.
Leo: Seems a little forced.
Stockman: Since my test robbery was successful, it's time to move on to bigger targets. These are about to make me very, very rich.
Raph: And we're gonna make you very, very hurt.
[Stockman pulls out a mouser spray can and sprayed red mist on them.]
Leo: Acid! Protect your eyes! [both started choking but stops for a moment]
Raph: Wait. We're fine.
Leo:*cough* You're right. Get him!
Stockman: Get me? No, you will be the ones who will be getting got. Gotten? Get them!
[The Mousers begin to attack and Raph and Leo easily defeat them.]
Raph: All gone.
Stockman: Good thing I made extra.
[He activates the button from his remote and a batch door opens up to reveal more mousers. The big door opens as the mouser horde runs out of the hangar and swarms at Leo and Raph. The mousers attack Leo and Raph.]
Leo: I'm calling it. Time to go.
Raph: I'll allow it.
[They leave with the mouser bots chasing them.]
Stockman: You can't run forever. Soon, the mousers will crush your bones in their jaws. [The last batch of mouser ran out.] Such is the fate of anyone foolish enough to trifle with Baxter Stock-
[He gets knocked down by Sid who was with Tsoi.]
[Meanwhile.]
Donnie: We need a diversion, so we can grab the phone. How about this? We'll make them think the police are here. We'll need a bullhorn, some flashing lights, and a siren.
Mikey: Operation: Cop out!
Donnie: Or we can make them think the place is on fire. We'll need a smoke machine, an orange light, and some firefighter jackets.
Mikey: Operation: Burn out.
Donnie: Or we could find the breaker box and shut off the power. We'll need um, nothing
Mikey: Operation: Blackout. No, lights out. No, power out. This one's too good, I can't handle it.
[Meanwhile, Leo and Raph run on the rooftop. They stop for breath.]
Leo: You think we lost them yet?
[The mousers are on the road chasing them.]
Raph: I'd say no.
Leo: How are those things tracking us?
Raph: It's gotta be that stuff he sprayed us with.
Leo: All right, we better call Donnie.
Raph: You want to get bailed out by the B-team? Forget that.
Leo: Maybe we won't have to. Whatever this stuff is, we'll just wash it off.
[He sliced a water tower and sprayed some on himself and Raph.]
Raph: Ah! Cold!
Leo: That ought to do it.
[The mouser bots appear on the rooftop snarling like cats.]
Raph: Of course, we could call Donnie just to say hi.
[Meanwhile, Donnie and Mikey are still thinking.]
Donnie: I've got it. I'll use my T-Phone to hack the C.I.A computer system, then reroute a satellite over the building and focus its beams to give them all splitting headaches.
Mikey: Operation: Spaced out.
Donnie: That's when you go in, wearing a tinfoil hat to protect yourself... [his phone rang] I'm kind of in the middle of something.
Mikey: Is that Leo? Tell him my operation names.
Donnie: What's the matter? Oh, don't tell me the A-team needs our help.
[Leo and Raph are stuck on the water tower.]
Leo: Uh, no. No, of course not. No, we're great. I-I'm just, you know, checking to see if you guys need any help.
Donnie: We got this. We followed Fong to the defunct futon factory on fifth.
Mikey: [laughs] Say that five times fast.
Donnie: Anyway, we've got an awesome plan to get the phone back. How are you guys doing?
Leo: Uh, you know. Good-ish.
[The mouse bots are chewing on the iron as they snarl.]
Leo: Whoops, call waiting! Gotta go! [to Raph] You were right. We've got to beat these things on our own if it kills us. Okay, bad choice of words.
[The water tower breaks, sending them falling,]
Dogpound: Can't you unlock it?
Fong: It's encrypted or something.
[Door bangs and Dogpound answers, Sid and Tsoi had brought Stockman, tied up.]
Stockman: Uh, nice doggy?
Tsoi: This guy used his little robots to steal from us, which means he's stealing from you.
Dogpound: [growls] I don't have time for this. Get rid of him. I've got turtles to find.
Stockman: Wait! Turtles? I hate those guys. I can help. In fact, I'm already helping.
Dogpound: Explain.
Stockman: My M.O.U.S.E.R.S are destroying the turtles as we speak. Uh, two of them, at least.
Dogpound: So you make robots. You must be good with electronics.
Stockman: The best. There's nothing I can't build, hack, or fix.
[Dogpound frees him from his ropes.]
Dogpound: Could you hack into this phone?
Stockman: You insult me, sir. Something so easy would be a waste of my talents.
Dogpound: Well, then, start wasting your talents before I waste you.
[Above the rooftop]
Donnie: Okay, let's do this.
Mikey: B-team is go!
Donnie: Don't call us that.
Mikey: Oh, right.
[Leo and Raph are still fighting the mousers. Leo impaled a few mousers with his katana.]
Leo: Look, Raph, mouser-kebabs.
[Raph tossed two more down the rooftop]
Raph: These things are a cakewalk.
[They get down and put one of the mousers in a trash can. Another lunged but they tossed it in. More Mousers started to come around the corner.]
Leo: Now!
[They kick the trash can toward the robot, knocking one down.]
Leo: I could do this all day.
Raph: Same here.
Leo: Raph!
[Raph gets out of the way as the van crashes the mousers.]
Raph: That was so fun.
Leo: It's almost too much fun.
[They run off.]
Stockman: There. My decryption program is ready.
[The lights go out.]
Dogpound: What's going on?
[They look around as the turtles grab the phone.]
Dogpound: The phone!
[Dogpound pounced on the two turtles since he can see in the dark.]
Mikey: Well, that plan didn't work.
Dogpound: Worked great for me. Get the chains.
[Donnie and Mikey are chained on the wall.]
Stockman: We'll have access to the phone in about ten minutes.
Donnie: You're wasting your time. There's nothing on it.
Stockman: It's got a GPS log, doesn't it? [Donnie gasps] Once I unlock this phone, we'll see every place it's ever been.
Mikey: The Museum of natural history!
Donnie: Or the lair.
Mikey: That's even worse!
Dogpound: If that phone tells me where Splinter is, I'll have no reason to keep you alive. And if it doesn't tell me, I'll get the answers out of you. [punches the wall and looks threateningly at Donnie and Mikey] That's what I call a win-win.
[Leo and Raph continue on, running out of breath.]
Leo: Okay, this is crazy. Maybe we should call-
Raph: [exhausted] We can do this. I got an idea.
[The mouser bots screech as Leo and Raph are on the lamp post.]
Leo: Up here, metal mouth!
[He jumped down and sliced a few robots. Then he jumped into a hydrant which made the mouser bite into. Water gushed right out. Raph then gets off, causing the lamp post to fall, electrocuting the mousers.]
Raph: Told you we didn't need those guys.
[another mouser appears as even more arrive.]
Leo: Oh, come on.
[They entered the warehouse and closed the door.]
Raph: Okay, I admit it. I wish Donnie were here. I bet he could find a way to get these things off our tail. Make the call!
[A mouser burst through the door. Meanwhile, Dogpound hears the T-Phone, he takes them off from their belts.]
Dogpound: We'll check these next.
Donnie: T-phones, self-destruct!
[The T-phones explode. Dogpound was now annoyed and glared at Donnie. Back with Leo and Raph.]
Leo: Mikey's not answering either. Something's wrong.
Raph: I should've known they'd need us to bail them-
[The doors flew open, knocking them down.]
Stockman: Almost done. 98, 99... Yes, 100. And processing, processing. Come on. And finished.
[Leo and Raph enter, bursting through the window]
Dogpound: The turtles!
Leo: Not so fast, Dogpound. And Dexter Spackman?
Stockman: [angrily] Baxter Stockman!
[Dogpound attacks as Leo. Leo spins above him and runs while Raph kicks him. Leo then grabbed the phone.]
Stockman: How did you escape my M.O.U.S.E.R.S?
Leo: We didn't.
[The mousers land on top of Dogpound and Stockman. Once they are down, Leo then begins to slice the chains off of Mikey and Donnie's hands.]
Raph: We're here to save the day, as usual.
Donnie: Oh, yeah. Looks like you guys were doing great.
Raph: You try fighting off 2,000 robots!
Fong: Let's beat it!
[The purple dragons retreat. The mouserbots started to come after them.]
Leo: Mikey! Keep away!
[Mikey catches the phone as Dogpound tries to chase him. He runs up to the second floor. Donnie then finds a camera inside the mousers.]
Donnie: A gamma camera. It detects radioisotopes. That must be what he's tagged you with.
Raph: Oh. How do we get it off?
Donnie: You can't. It wears off gradually. But if someone else got sprayed, they'd give off a stronger signal.
[Mikey falls and drops the phone. Donnie then whacks Dogpound.]
Donnie: We gotta get Stockman's spray. It controls the M.O.U.S.E.R.S.
Mikey: You mean that thing?
Stockman: I'll handle this, dog man. One spritz and they're mouser chow.
[Raph attacks and throws his shurikens at Stockman's spray, it unleashes the gas that gives Mousers too much signal that they start chasing them around. Dogpound fights them off and they run away. Stockman trips and Dogpound carries him. Dogpound grabs the phone, but Donnie destroys it with kunai.]
Donnie: Hang it up, Dogpound. Your call just got dropped.
[Dogpound leaves, breaking through the wall as the mousers chase him.]
Leo: Nice job, guys.
Raph: Yeah, from here on out, you're the "A-" team.
Donnie: That's probably the best we're gonna get out of him.
Mikey: Hey! Guys?
[At the Dojo.]
Splinter: I hope you all see that by choosing your own battles poorly, you created your own crisis.
Donnie: Yeah, there's definitely some irony there.
Leo: Okay, it got a little out of control, but we learned our lesson. And at least we got April's phone back.
April: You did? Sweet.
[The phone breaks in pieces.]
Leo: Uh, the important thing is it didn't end up in the wrong hands.
April: Gee. Thanks, guys.
Donnie: Uh, don't worry, April. you can have one of my custom-built T-phones.
April: Ooh, cool.
Mikey: Just don't say, "T-phone, self-destruct."
[Confused, April looks down and the T-Phone does just that. Her hands jolt as it does so.]
Mikey: Or else that happens.
[April stares at the now smoking phone, shocked by what just happened. Meanwhile, at Shredder's lair...]
Stockman: Ow! Hey, let go.
Dogpound:[Drops Stockman.] Here he is, master.
[Stockman looks from behind at Shredder.]
Shredder: Baxter Stockman. Your interference has cost me the turtles and Splinter. [Grabs Stockman by the collar and picks him up.] You should pay with your life.[Pointed his deployed katar blade, scaring Stockman.] Fortunately for you, I may have use for your skills.
[Shredder retracted his Katar blade back into his gauntlet then dropped the Stockman. Stockman looks behind Dogpound with a scared expression.]
