Scenario

871 tokens

Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady send eggs from Dimension X, which resemble meatballs, to Shredder and Baxter Stockman. The plan is to sprinkle the eggs on pizzas and hope that the Ninja Turtles eat them. Fortunately for them, a pizza bake-off with free samples and prizes is going on, so Shredder frightens off a boy handing out leaflets, and washes the remaining flyers down into the sewers.

Underground, Michelangelo is beaten by a dummy that Donatello has hooked up to a washing machine. Suddenly water floods the practice room, and leaves the flyers for "Free Pizza" everywhere. Splinter deduces from slash marks on the flyers that they came from Shredder, but the Turtles are fine with engaging their enemy again, especially if it means getting pizza while they're at it.

April and Irma also attend the Pizza Bake-Off, where Irma avoids a man who wants her as a girlfriend (with some help from April and the Turtles). April agrees to enter the Turtles in the raffle for three free pizzas.

Meanwhile, Baxter Stockman has surreptitiously placed an egg on each of the three prize pizzas. However, the pizza maker has a rush order, and sends two of the prize pizzas out on delivery, replacing them with fresh ones.

Upon seeing Baxter, they realize that Shredder must be nearby, and spot him entering a pizza place. A fight breaks out in the pizza kitchen, ending with Shredder humiliated and covered with ingredients.

When Baxter reads the winning names in the drawing, he lies, saying that Leonardo, Donatello and Michelangelo are the winners. April delivers the three pizzas to the Turtles, and they give her one of them as a reward for helping them out. April and Irma decide to eat that pizza at Irma's apartment - not knowing that the egg from Dimension X is on that pizza.

When Irma heats up the pizza, the energy of the microwave oven activates the egg and causes it to hatch into a glowing little red creature, which devours the pizza. Irma faints when she opens the microwave and sees it. April contacts the Turtles, who rush over to Irma's apartment and try to capture the little red creature, which escapes. Having been told that it "came with the pizza" and that the pizzas they got were not the original contest prizes, the Turtles deduce that there must be two other red creatures out there as well.

The Turtles fly the Turtle Blimp over New York City and spy Mario, the pizza delivery boy, as he delivers pizza to two wealthy children. Unfortunately, they are too late to stop the kids from reheating the pizza in the microwave, and two red creatures hatch and crawl down the side of the building.

April chases the two new creatures down the street with a camera crew, only to lose them when they burn their way through a manhole cover. At the same time, Irma follows the creature hiding in her apartment into the washing machine, where it somehow burns through the back of the washer and the wall beyond. All three creatures leap into the water in the sewers, which causes them to mutate into large yellow monsters.

Shredder and Baxter have also appeared in the sewers, where Baxter is using a handheld device to control the creatures - and specifically to send them to attack the Turtles. After a prolonged fight, Donatello smashes the controller into the water, which means that the creatures are now attacking everyone instead of just the Turtles. Reading the instructions, Baxter figures out that a large blast of energy will turn the creatures back into eggs again.

Michelangelo leaps into the water to retrieve the controller, while his brothers reluctantly team up with Shredder and Baxter to fight the monsters. Unfortunately the controller's batteries have gotten wet, but the creatures' reactions to a blast of energy give Leonardo an idea, cutting the electrical lines in a power box and arcing the electricity towards the creatures. The power overload causes the monsters to become eggs again, and Shredder and Baxter Stockman escape.

As the story ends, Michelangelo comes in with a pizza and a small bowl of meatballs, which he assures them are not the eggs... until they suddenly start bouncing.

Episode opens in Dimension X and scans across to the Technodrome.] KRANG "Shredder, since you are unable to eliminate the turtles by yourself, I am giving you the eggs you asked for." BAXTER STOCKMAN "Oh, I've always wanted to study Dimension X wildlife at close range." ROCKSTEADY "These babies may look like meatballs, but once they hatch . . . ." [Tosses three glowing meatballs to Bebop, who uses a tennis racket to bat them through the portal. Stockman runs and makes a diving catch.] STOCKMAN "No, you idiots." SHREDDER "Good reflexes. We may make a ninja of you yet." ROCKSTEADY "I almost forgot. Here's the instructions." [Shifts to Shredder and Stockman walking through the city.] STOCKMAN "But, master, how are we going to make sure that the turtles get these eggs?" SHREDDER "We won't have to. The turtles will come to us." NEWSBOY "Big pizza bake-off today. Free samples and neato prizes." SHREDDER "Excuse me, young man, but I'll take those." STOCKMAN "Brochures? But why?" SHREDDER "Watch." [He throws the brochures he took and tosses them through a sewer grate. Shredder then open the valve on a fire hydrant so that the water goes into the grate as well.] SHREDDER "Once our turtle friends hear about free pizza, they'll fall right into our trap." [Cut to the lair.] MICHELANGELO "Okay, Donatello, I'm ready to get down with this machine of yours." DONATELLO "You might be sorry you said that." SPLINTER "I hope you studied your opponent well, Michelangelo." MICHELANGELO "No sweat, Splinter. The day I can't kick butt on some washing machine is the day I hang up my nun~chucks aahh!" [Raphael throws a sai and unplugs the machine.] SPLINTER "Excellent strategy, Raphael. Sometimes sabotaging an enemy's line of supply is more effective than a frontal attack." RAPHAEL "Thank you, Sensei. I've always been great against household appliances." MICHELANGELO "Surf's up! Cowabunga!" LEONARDO "What are these things?" RAPHAEL "Yuck! It’s the attack of the clinging handbills." MICHELANGELO "Tube-uloso, dudes. Check this out. Big pizza bake-off. Free samples and deluxe pizza prizes." SPLINTER "Permit me. My intuition confirms my suspicions. This pattern of slash marks could only have been made by the prongs on Shredder's gauntlets." LEONARDO "Then the bake-off could be a trap!" SPLINTER "Precisely." MICHELANGELO "Fabuloso. A couple of rounds with tinface oughta work up an appetite for those free pizzas." SPLINTER "Take care, Michelangelo. Shredder is a far more dangerous opponent than a mere washing machine." [Scene shift to the pizza bake-off, held outside in a city neighborhood.] APRIL O'NEIL "Wow! Would the turtles love this!" IRMA "April, why don't you forget about those turtles and start thinking about real live men?" APRIL "You mean, like your last date with that accordion player?" IRMA "Forget him. His mustache weighed more than his brain." LEONARDO "Psst! April! It's us." APRIL "Are you crazy? You shouldn't be seen in public like this!" ALFREDO "Irma, dolce mia, it is I, Alfredo." IRMA "Oh, no! It's him! It's – ciao!" APRIL "Alfredo? The mustache!" ALFREDO "Irma, mi amore. Wait! That Irma. We could make such beautiful music together." APRIL "This sounds serious. I think it's time you met the family." ALFREDO "Oh, I would be most honored." APRIL "Then shake hands with papa Leonardo, uncle Donatello, cousin Raphael, and auntie Michelangelo." ALFREDO "Our bambino will be green? Arrivederci." APRIL "Thanks for the good deed, guys. How can I repay you?" RAPHAEL "Well, you could get us about fifty pounds of those free samples." MICHELANGELO "And enter our names for those primo prize pizzas." APRIL "Sure thing, guys." LEONARDO "Any sign of Shredder? I just know he's here somewhere." DONATELLO "I can practically smell him." MICHELANGELO "I smell something better. Pizzas!" STOCKMAN "Master Shredder, the pizza prizes have arrived." SHREDDER "Hurry, you fool. It's time to add the secret ingredient." STOCKMAN "Ah. Truly a work of art." [Places a special meatball on three separate pizzas.] ANNOUNCER "And now the moment we've all been waiting for, the drawing for three deluxe pizzas. And here's a volunteer to help us, Mr. Baxter Stockman." LEONARDO "Baxter Stockman?" RAPHAEL "And where there's Baxter, there's bound to be . . . ." DONATELLO "Shredder!" RAPHAEL "Let's get the tinfaced geek!" MICHELANGELO "Cowabunga!" [The turtles begin chasing Shredder. Scene cuts to interior of UFO Pizza.] MANAGER "All right, got it. Two deluxe pizzas to go. Ah, you heard it, Mario. Two deluxe to this address here." MARIO "But, boss, we don't have any deluxe left." MANAGER "Well, take them from the table outside then. I'll make some more for the drawing." DONATELLO "Gangway, folks. Emergency!" LEONARDO "Excuse us. Coming through." DONATELLO "There he goes into the kitchen." RAPHAEL "Pump up the volume, guys. We got him cornered." MICHELANGELO "Oh, wow! Pizza heaven!" DONATELLO "Never mind that. We got some ninja-ing to do." RAPHAEL "Give it up, Shredder. You're history." SHREDDER "We'll see about that, mutants." MICHELANGELO "Whoa, how about that? Saved by the shell!" DONATELLO "Hey, Shredder, shred your way out of this." SHREDDER "Gladly. Have a dough-net." RAPHAEL "Quick, Donatello, some tomato sauce." DONATELLO "One order of tomato sauce coming up." MICHELANGELO "All right, chump. And now for the finishing touch." SHREDDER "No, no! Not that! I hate anchovies. Oh! Oh, those turtles! They'll pay dearly for this." ANNOUNCER "And now the drawing will begin. Professor, will you do the honors?" STOCKMAN "Gladly. And the winners are Leonardo, Donatello, and Michelangelo." LEONARDO "April O'Neil, in appreciation for your services to pizza lovers everywhere, we'd like to present you with this . . . ." MICHELANGELO "One slice." LEONARDO "Michelangelo." MICHELANGELO "Er, I mean, one pizza."
