[Episode starts with the Shredder's top henchmen (Chris Bradford) is training. Behind him, a Foot ninja approaches stealthily, and then swings down at him with a sword. The man catches the sword between his palms, rising to his feet and kicking the ninja away from him while divesting him of his sword. He turns just as another ninja leaps down at him. He dodges easily. He is then beset by ninjas and defeats them. A door slides open to reveal Xever, a dark skinned man wearing a black vest and white shirt. Behind him, the Shredder stands looking out over the city.]
Chris: [Bows to his master.] Master Shredder.
Shredder: I trust that my greatest pupil has been using that time wisely.
Chris: I have assembled an army of ninjas. The Foot Clan awaits your orders.
Shredder: Excellent. Because I've discovered an old enemy in New York. [tosses a photo in front of Chris.] Hamato Yoshi.
Chris: Hamato Yoshi? Alive?
Shredder: And he is training ninjas of his own. Finally, I will finish what I started all those years ago. I want them all wiped out.
Chris: I will not fail you, master.
Shredder: I know. But to be certain, you will work alongside Xever.
Chris: [stands up] I don't need any help. Especially from this street rat.
Xever: Are you sure, rich boy?
Chris: Anytime you want to test me-
Shredder: I am not interested in your petty rivalry! Xever is familiar with the dark underbelly of this city. You will work together.
Chris: Don't worry, Master Shredder. We will find Splinter and his disciples and destroy them.
[He leaves before he kicked a Foot Ninja down who regains consciousness,]
[Theme song.]
[The turtles are running on the roof since nothing is going on with the Kraang.]
Donnie: Check it out! Yehee!
[Donnie front flip twice and rolls onto a rooftop. Mikey uses the water tower nearby and backflips and rolls sideways.]
Mikey: Top that, turtle chumps!
Leo: All right, guys. Check this out.
[Leo backflipped twice before landing on the edge.]
Raph: Cute, kiddies.
[Raph cracked his neck and prepared himself to jump right into his brothers.]
Donnie: Hey, what was that? You didn't do any flips.
[Something clattered. They dart to hide by a wall, each drawing their weapon. The Turtles aim their weapons which turn out to be a kitten.]
Raph: Don't give up, Leo. You might actually win this fight.
Mikey: Aww! It's a little kitty. [picks cat up] And its name is -
Man: Mittens!
Mikey: Good guess. Wait, who said that?
[A man from the apartment is calling to his pet.]
Man: Mittens?
Donnie: I think that's the owner.
[Mikey starts to approach the apartment.]
Donnie: What are you doing?
Leo: Whoa, hey!
Raph: Mikey, wait!
Mikey: What? I'm returning Mittens to her owner.
Raph: Are you an idiot? Wait, let me rephrase that. You're an idiot!
Donnie: You can't show yourself to a human.
Mikey: [confused] Why not?
Donnie: Because they'll freak the heck out, that's why not.
Mikey: No, they won't. I'm not so scary.
Raph: You're an ugly, green mutant armed with ninja weapons.
Mikey: Look, this guy's gonna see that I'm just a regular, cat-loving dude like him. Next thing you know, we'll be best buds. This is gonna be awesome! [leaves]
Turtles: No! Don't! Wait!
Man: Mittens!
[Mikey appears in front of him.]
Mikey: Hi. Here's your-
Man: [Screams, terrified.] Ahh! Ugly, green mutant freak!
Mikey: But I got your cat!
Man: Help! He's got my cat!
Mikey: Dude, chill! I'm just-
[The cat attacked Mikey as he fell off the building. The other three catch up to him.]
Mikey: Someone want to help me with this? [The cat was still on his shell.]
All: No.
[Mikey removes the cat, followed by a crashing sound.]
Raph: Face it. Humans will never understand you. Heck, we don't even understand you.
Mikey: [Sighs.] Yeah. [Gasps.] But I bet that guy would!
[He looks at a billboard above which announces the appearance of Chris Bradford at a martial arts expo.]
Leo: Chris Bradford. The martial arts superstar. With a chain of dojos across the country. He's your soul mate?
Mikey: We've got so much in common.
Donnie: What if you stop standing like that?
Mikey: We'll have a little less in common, but still a lot. And look, he's in town for a Martial Arts Expo. Maybe he'll show me his secret kata, the Death Dragon. And I'll show him my secret kata, the secret kata.
Donnie: Catchy.
Mikey: Check it out. [gestures some moves] But don't tell anyone you saw that.
Leo: No problem.
Raph: Face it, Mikey, Chris Bradford is the last person on Earth that would be friends with you. Well, tied for last, with everyone else on Earth.
[Suddenly, black ninjas surround them. The four brothers looked around and was stunned that there are more ninjas.]
Donnie: Ninjas? In New York? Other than us?
[The turtles pull out their weapons. One of the ninjas threw a shuriken at Donnie, he deflected it and the foot clan charged at them and started to battle. Raph kicked a few soldiers before they punched him down. Mikey saves him as the others continue on dodging their katanas and staffs.]
Raph: Why are you so happy?
Leo: It's just nice to finally be fighting people, instead of robots, or aliens, or weed-monsters.
[Chris appears and punches Leo down then Raph, and Donnie. Mikey throws his weapon at Chris who catches it and yanks the chain to pull Mikey into his clutches.]
Chris: What are you?
[Mikey kicks off from his leg and they both tug on the chain. Leo jumps up and slices the chain. Sirens can be heard coming closer, followed by flashing lights. Chris and Foot disappear. The turtles vanish as well just before a police car screeches to a stop with headlight flooding the alley. Back at the lair, Leo in kitchen with Splinter delivering his report.]
Leo: Their leader was crazy good, by which I mean he was good and seemed a little crazy. Besides, he had all these guys with him. It wasn't a fair fight.
Splinter: What do you mean, "fair fight"?
Leo: A fair fight, you know, where either side could win?
Splinter: So a fair fight is a fight you could lose.
Leo: Well, yes, but- Well, what I what I mean is-
Splinter: You don't want to assure your victory.
Leo: No, I do, but-
[Leo gets knocked down by the feet from Splinter's staff and pinned.]
Leo: Ow! Hey!
Splinter: Was that fair?
Leo: No!
Splinter: Did I win?
Leo: I see your point.
Splinter: Seek victory, not fairness.
[He lets go.]
Leo: Hai, sensei.
[Splinter helps him on his feet. In the living room, Mikey is reading a magazine.]
Mikey: Whoa, that's rad! Oh, I wish me and Chris Bradford were friends! [Laughing.]
April: Mikey, you already have a human friend. Me!
Mikey: April, you don't count. We saved your life, you have to like us.
Raph: Too bad there's no place for freaks to meet people where no one can see how hideous they are.
April: Wait, there is. The internet! Donnie, can I see your laptop?
Donnie: Uh, yeah, uh, sure! Just a sec. [gives laptop]
April: Check it out, it's a site where you can make friends with anybody online.
Mikey: Sweet! [he checks it] Ohh, Chris Bradford's on here! He'll be my first friend!
[He presses the button then leans.]
April: Mikey, people don't always respond immed- [Laptop beeps.] But sometimes they do.
Mikey: [Gasps excitedly] No way! Chris Bradford has accepted my friendship! I have a friend! Thanks, April! [leaves]
Donnie: Where are you going? Hey! [falls]
Mikey: To hang out with my friend, Chris Bradford.
April: This guy's famous. He probably has thousands of "friends."
Mikey: And guess who's number 5,286?
April: You?
Mikey: Daniel Ramirez! And I'm right next to him. Later! [leaves]
April: Well, this ought to be interesting.
Donnie: Should we go after him?
Raph: Eh, he's gotta learn somehow.
[At the street. Mikey got behind Chris who was on the street, leaving his dojo.]
Mikey: [Giggles.] What up? Hey. I'm...
[Chris started to throw ninja stars at Mikey]
Mikey: [Shouts.] I'm being attacked by Chris Bradford! This is so cool! [dodges ninja stars.] No, wait! We're - Whoa! Friends!
Chris: What?
Mikey: We're online friends! You accepted me, remember?
Chris: Oh. Of course. Nice to meet you.
[Mikey excitedly shakes his hand.]
Chris: Uh, won't you come in?
[At the rooftop, Leo and Donnie were looking down at the alley.]
Leo: They must have been watching us from here. The perfect place to stage an ambush.
Donnie: It wasn't very fair, was it?
Leo: It's not about fairness. It's about victory.
Donnie: Okay, I'm sorry.
[Meanwhile, Mikey is explaining to Raph about Chris.]
Mikey: And then- and then Chris Bradford put on his hakama. Man, that guy can rock a hakama!
Raph: [crouched on the ground] Yeah, maybe he'll wear it again when he takes you to the prom.
Mikey: And then after that, he-
Raph: Oh, enough! You've been going on about this for three hours.
Mikey: Ooh, someone sounds jealous. You just can't admit that you were the "R" word. "Rong"?
Raph: I'm not wrong.
Mikey: Oh, yeah? If you don't want to talk about my friend, [leaps over] I've got two other brothers who do.
Leo: Actually, I'd rather talk about anything else.
Donnie: Like the concept of the silent "W," perhaps?
Mikey: Fine. Heh, I'll go talk to a guy who likes to talk about Chris Bradford more than anyone else: Chris Bradford. [leaves]
[At the dojo, Chris is training on a punch bag, Mikey enters in.]
Mikey: There's my best buddy in the whole world!
Chris: Michelangelo, Mikey, the Big M. How you doing, buddy?
Mikey: I am stupendous, Chris. Chrissy B I gotta work on your nickname. Ooh Rad-Brad!
Chris: You know, I was just thinking how we're such close friends, and yet I know so little about you.
Mikey: You think we're close friends?
Chris: Of course! Now tell me everything about you.
Mikey: Well, where should I start? Ooh I named all six of my toes!
[Mikey lifted up his feet toward him.]
Chris: How interesti- Ugh!
Mikey: There's Stubby and Joey nails-
Chris: Oh, that's… that's fascinating. But I was thinking more about your impressive ninjitsu skills. You must have an incredible sensei.
Mikey: Oh, he is the best. Now meet the stinky triplets!
Chris: Ugh, okay! [Chuckling.] Who's hungry?
Mikey: Me! I want pizza! -Do you like pizza?
Chris: Yeah, sure.
[Mikey hugs him]
Mikey: Whoa. We have so much in common.
[Outside on the rooftop, the duo were now sitting on a billboard. ]
Mikey: Isn't this great? Blue skies, pizza, couple of dudes just hangin'.
Chris: Yeah, great. Since we've gotten so close, maybe you could tell me a little more about your brothers.
Mikey: [With mouth full.] Oh oh, yeah. Uh, they're good dudes. But sometimes, I don't think they respect me.
Chris: Uh, I can't imagine why.
[At the dojo, Mikey looked at the katana.]
Mikey: Cool. [Gasps.] Look at that katana! That looks old.
Chris: Yes, yes, it's over four hundred years old. [Chuckles uncomfortably.] But getting back to your sensei-
Mikey: Look, Rad-Brad, I'd love to tell you, but there's just some things I have to keep secret.
[Mikey starts to test the katana but Chris stops him.]
Chris: But we're friends. And friends share their secrets, don't they?
Mikey: Are you saying you're going to show me your secret kata, the Death Dragon?
Chris: Tell you what. As a show of trust and friendship, I will teach you the Death Dragon.
Mikey: [happily] All right!
Chris: But you have to swear not to show it to anyone.
Mikey: I promise I won't show a soul.
[At the Dojo, Mikey and telling his brothers the move. Leo and Donnie watch with amazement while Raph leaned against the tree.]
Mikey: And then he kicks, twists, and sweeps the leg- Ha! The Death Dragon.
Leo: [impressed] That was amazing!
Donnie: Yeah, it's devastatingly effective and complex.
Raph: [leaning against the tree] And yet even Mikey could learn it.
Mikey: Thank you. Hey! [His attention turns over to the laptop as it bleeps] It's Rad-Brad! That's my little name for him. He wants to get together for a little B-ball. Can't wait to find out what the "B" stands for!
Leo: You're going now?
Mikey: Sorry, dudes, human friend stuff. You know how it is. Oh, wait. No, you don't. [chuckles and leaves]
[Meanwhile as Chris' dojo, Xever observed a katana as Chris looks into his laptop.]
Chris: The freak is on his way. The trap is set.
Xever: Pretty weapon for a tough guy. In prison, we made our own weapons.
Chris: I'll keep that in mind if I'm ever stupid enough to wind up in prison.
[The turtles are training in the dojo as Donnie watched Leo and Raph practice the kata.]
Raph: Not quite.
Leo: Wait, I think I got it.
[As Splinter comes in, Leo succeeds in using the skill to sweep Raph’s feet.]
Splinter: [Enraged.] Where did you learn that?
Raph: Mikey learned it from his new friend.
Splinter: The man who taught him that kata is no friend! It comes from the Shredder.
Donnie: [confused] Shredder?
Leo: You mean Bradford is one of his students?
Splinter: He must be.
Leo: So Bradford's just pretending to be Mikey's friend to get to you.
Raph: [Relieved.] Ohh, what a relief! Everything makes sense again. [Realizes something is wrong.] Mikey's in trouble!
[In Bradford's dojo, Mikey enters the dark room.]
Mikey: Rad-Brad? Hello? Hello? Raddie-Braddie? Did you plan me a surprise party?
[There was no answer. But someone was there. Mikey becomes startled by seeing the ninja, again, then he bumps into Xever, he backs away.]
Mikey: [angrily] Tell me what you've done with Chris, or you guys are in serious-
[Chris starts to attack as Mikey dodges. Xever joins in the battle as Mikey tried to hide. ]
Chris: Haven't you figured out who I am?
Mikey: Should I have?
[Mikey gets beaten down.]
Chris: We've already met face-to-face.
Mikey: [horrified] No. It can't be. You're the guy with the cat?
Chris: [Annoyed.] You fool. [Takes off the mask.]
Mikey: Rad-Brad? What?
[The soldiers tied his limbs.]
Mikey: I thought we were friends. I introduced you to all of my toes.
Chris: You actually thought someone like me could be friends with a freak like you? Pathetic!
Xever: I say we get rid of him.
Chris: Nothing would make me happier. But we need him. All part of the trap.
Mikey: Rad-Brad?
[Meanwhile, the turtles are heading their way as Leo slide down the window and sprinted over to Raph as he leaped off from the rooftop. Using gum, Donnie placed it on a pencil and needle and made a small circle in it, opening up the window. Ropes drop and turtles descend into the dojo. The sound of a sword being unsheathed draws the attention of Foot soldiers who are standing guard. They defeated them all and gathered in front of Mikey.]
Mikey: Dudes! That was sporadic!
Turtles: Shh!
Donnie: [facepalms, Quietly.] That's not what that means!
[Mikey gets freed. Later, they began to head back to the sewer.]
Chris: Perfect.
Xever: We've got them.
[Chris, Xever and the group enter the sewers. And it seems there was no one there. Something swift passed and dragged the foot soldiers into the darkness. They stopped and looked around. Chris and Xever are alone. He lit up a torch and saw that the soldiers were hung on the ceiling.]
Xever: Show your faces!
[The turtles emerged from the waters and shadows.]
Xever: They've trapped us!
Chris: Take 'em down!
[They began to attack. Leo and Raph take on Chris while Mikey and Donnie take on Xever. Xever leaped over Donnie and swung him at Mikey. The two look over to see Leo and Raph in trouble. Leo lunged at Chris but he grabbed his katanas and knocked him down. Raph managed to save Leo and continue on battling, switching places. They easily start to use their combat to surround them.]
Chris: They knew we were following them.
Mikey: That's right.
[Mikey managed to dodge his claws and kick Bradford using the death dragon, knocking him into Xever.]
Mikey: Sweep the leg!
[Chris lands on Xever]
Mikey: Hit it!
[They turn the wheel and water washed Xever and Chris away. They scream as they fell into the murky depths.]
Raph: Well, that didn't seem very fair.
Leo: No, it wasn't.
[All chuckling.]
Mikey: High three!
[Back home., everyone grabbed a slice of pizza.]
Donnie: Um, sensei, aren't you hungry?
Splinter: I fear we are celebrating too soon.
Raph: Too soon? The bad guys were swept away in a river of raw sewage. By my watch, that makes it the perfect time.
Splinter: Shredder knows I'm alive. And worse, he knows about all of you. It's my worst nightmare come true.
Leo: So it's not over?
Splinter: Oh, no. It's just beginning.
[Meanwhile, Mikey is still sad that Bradford betrayed him.]
Raph: How you doing, Mikey?
Mikey: This was all my fault. I should have never thought I could be friends with a human.
Raph: Eh, don't be so hard on yourself.
Mikey: So it's not my fault?
Raph: Of course it's your fault.
Mikey: [Sighs in despair.]
Raph: If you tell the others, I'll beat the green off you, but you're an awesome guy.
Mikey: Bradford didn't think so.
Raph: Eh, he's a psychotic killing machine. You deserve way better friends than him.
Mikey: You know what? You're right. Thanks, Raph.
Raph: Anytime.
Mikey: Unfriend. Ha-ha! Revenge!
[Michelangelo smiles vengefully and triumphantly as the episode ends.]
