Donnie is pushing Mikey, who holds up posters. "Oh yeah!" He puts up posters with a turtle that's in an Uncle Sam outfit.

I need your Mystic Metal! Top Coin Paid!

"Mystical metal needed!" Mikey cheers as they go all around, to Run of the Mill Pizza, to the yokai library, to even Big Mama's hotel to advertise mystical metal.

A sign reads 'Mystical Metal Merchants' with the turtles' and Emma's faces over it. "I don't know about this plan," Raph says skeptically. "If we wanna find the last pieces of the Dark Armor, shouldn't we be out there chasing down rumors and shaky leads?"

"It's called crowdsourcing, Raph," Donnie adjusts his goggles. "Why bust our own humps..."

"When there are thousands of yokai in the city who can bust their humps for us?" Mikey finishes for him. "They slap their scraps to us, and we just chillax here and see if any of it is part of the Dark Armor!"

"So we sit in here while some poor unfortunate saps do the work for us?" Emma asks "Exactly!" Mikey boops her nose with a smile

"Okay, I do like the laziness angle," Leo has his feet up over the desk, sitting. "But I'm not taking sides...yet." A light suddenly hits Leo's eyes, causing him to fall to the ground.

Ooo, a seller!" Mikey exclaims eagerly towards outside. A person had opened the door, closing it behind him and holding a little brown box in his hands. "See what happens when you give our ideas a chance?" He asks smugly to Raph. "Raph."

He manages to bring himself over the desk and opens up the box, showing something glowing. Donnie appears leaning over examining it

"Excuse me," Donnie slams down the case, showing an Ace Airlines poster. "We are a reputable fly-by-night organization, How dare you bring this worthless garbage in?!" He snaps his finger with a serious face "Emma!"

Emma's eyes flash pink as she snarls her fangs foaming at the mouth, barks demonically chasing the customer out as he runs away screaming "Good Girl." He nods approving throwing her a cookie as she catches it in her mouth with her hands to her chest like a puppy

"Ha ha, epic plan fail," Leo laughs as Raph gives a 'I told you so' look.

"We haven't failed yet!" Donnie points to the left and they look in his direction to see a mutant walking up to them, holding a box in his hands. "That glow on that piece is off the charts!"

"Told you, Raph!" Mikey shouts at him. "Dark Armor here we-"

Suddenly, a truck comes in and circles the mutant. He bumps into the store, revealing to be Repo Mantis.

"Hey! You owe me money!" He then hits the mutant, swiping the piece. "Now we're even!" He chuckles as he runs off.

"Noooooo!" Mikey screams as he leaves.

"Repo stinking Mantis!" Donnie kicks the sign outside the fake store.

"Now you see why I had my doubts?" Raph asks the two.

"Of course I do," Leo brings Emma close to his chest casually. "Which is why we've been on Team Raph this whole time!"

"We're were?" Emma raises an eyebrow "I kinda wanna be on their side-"

"Team Raph this whole time!" Leo covers her mouth not wanting her to ruin it

"My turtle!" Raph fist bumps Leo ""Members since day one!"

"Chillax, we know where he lives," Mikey points to his head, wrapping his arm around Donnie. "Let's go get that piece back!"

.........................................

They arrive at Repo Mantis Salvage in the Turtle Tank, where Raph is ready with an idea. "Now, here's the plan. We're gonna smash our way in, and keep smashing until we smash that armor piece right into our smashy little hands!"

"Yeah huh. While you were planning your predictable smash capade, Michael and I were crafting a superior plan based on our extensive knowledge of the subject," Donnie snaps his fingers and Mikey appears in front of the unamused Raph, holding up a folder.

"Question: Who is Repo Mantis?" He shows pictures of Repo doing some very shady stuff. "Answer!" A light flashes in all three of their faces. "Repo Mantis is...motivated by greed!" He and Donnie are now dressed in millionaire suits, with top hats and everything.

"Dolla dolla bills, y'all!" Donnie catches a monocle in his hands.

"And what if your plan doesn't work?" Raph puts air quotes on the word plan

"That's where this little cutie comes in!"
Donnie holds up Emma in front of him who's dressed in a pink ballroom dress with white gloves a pink bow in her hair "If she can use her cuteness for dad's last slice of pizza she can persuade a greedy jerk like Repo Mantis."

"I'm being used for persuasion!" Emma crosses her eyes with a smile fist pumping the air

"Yes you are." Donnie smirks nuzzling her cheek with his bring her into a hug

"Now you guys stay in the car, while Donnie, Emma, and I pose as wealthy junk buyers and smooth talk Repo into giving up that armor piece, baby!" Mikey tells them.

"Sure. This can't go wrong," Leo says sarcastically to Raph

They find Repo doing something in the hood of a car. "I do say, good man, Max Wellson, Angelica Weiston, and I are wealthy junk millionaires looking to sink loads of money into top shelf garbage," Donnie speaks in a British accent.

"I must say this a charming little junk playground isn't it?" Emma places a hand on her cheek looking around the junkyard "This is definitely somewhere I'd spend my millions of dollars that I have."

"Dear me, Arm Brewster," Mikey holds up a bunch of dollar bills. "I just found money in my pocket! Remind me to burn this when we get back to the Slag Lake in Martha's scrap yard."

"Oh, you guys sound fancy," Repo puts his arms around him. "Come on, I'll show you around..."

Leo whines at all the buzzing sounds. "How long is it gonna take for this plan to fail miserably?"

Raph and Leo stare in boredom as Donnie is scanning for the piece, but doesn't find it.

"Everything is for sale," Repo gestures to a junk pile. "Just don't go in that bus over there," He points to a bus stuck in a pile underneath the sun. "No matter how much you might think there's something great in there...do not go in that bus. Do you understand?"

"That's it! It's on the bus!" Raph exclaims, even though they haven't gotten a confirmation from Donnie's goggles.

"Pip pardon, good sir, but my colleague and I know our way around a junkyard or two!" Donnie pretends to be offended.

He looks forward and sees Emma close to bus stretching her hand out to touch it "Angelica Weiston!" Emma turns and sees Donnie with a red angry face sternly pointing to the ground beside him, Emma groans a little but does what she's told and stands next to him

"Perhaps you could be a good assistant and bring us a nice refreshment?" Mikey asks him.

"For a couple of garbage gourmets like yourselves? My pleasure," He walks off to go find something.

"Great!" Mikey cheers once he's gone. "Now that he's gone, we can search this whole place! Everywhere except that bus of course."

"Guys!" Raph calls out and Donnie moves his sleeve away. "Guys, what are you doing? You're wasting your time. If you wanna find the armored piece, you gotta check out that bus."

"I'm sorry, are you a fake millionaire junk mogul?" Donnie retorts back.

"No good sir you are not!" Emma gives a snooty look waving her finger sassy like

"Yeah, let us handle it!" Mikey hisses at them

"Yeah. When the bug man tells you not to go on a creepy bus, you get right on that bus!" Leo points up ahead, mister!"

"Yeah! Creepy bus ahoy!" Leo and Raph high-five each other.

.........................................

Leo swings onto the back of the bus, Raph peeking from in front of a fridge. The two look into the pretty much abandoned school bus.

"I don't see the armor piece in there," Leo replies as they examine the vehicle.

"He must be using the bus to block the way into this mountain," He points up to the trash mountain above.

"So what do we do?"

Raph just scoffs at the question. "A bus only weighs like 25 thousand pounds. I got this."

Raph jumps to the back anyway and spits on his hands. He rubs them together and grabs the rim, starting to lift it up.

"Lifting...like a boss!"

"Raph, Raph, Raph!" Leo cheers, but it's actually just him calling out his name as he's on the ground. "Raph, Raph. Hey Raph."

Leo pokes him

"Huh? What happened?" His vision is clearing as he can see him

"Oh, you passed out trying to single-handedly lift a school bus!" Leo explains to him.

"How far did I move it?" He asks in a quiet voice.

"Ah, I mean, you wiggled the bumper a little, but your neck vid was HUUUUUGE!"

"Let me try something," He spins around his sword, creating a portal in front of the back. He reaches inside and finds the latch to open the back. He pulls it, but the door hits him on the face.

"Oh ho, it worked!" Leo cheers with a black eye and some missing teeth.

.........................................

"I don't see the armor piece," Mikey calls out as Donnie is holding a rubber duck and a pair of red die. "Should we investigate that bus?"

"NO!" Donnie exclaims at him, "Stick to our plan! Operation Not Raph's plan! We're the ones who know Repo, and he is totally predictable."

Emma tip toes silently towards the bus "Emma! I swear if you go near that bus I'm taking away all your tech when we get home!" Donnie threats

"Not biscuit bot!" Emma gives big sad eyes

"Yo!" Repo's claw appears between them, freaking them out.

"I did not see that coming!" Donnie exclaims as they recoil back in fear.

"You fancies want some caviar?" He chuckles, but what he's holding is definitely not caviar. "I-I didn't have fish eggs, so I just used ladybugs."

"U-Um thank you." Emma shakes still a little scared

.........................................

"So what do we do now?" Leo asks as the two are inside the bus.

"We'll show those guys what a real plan looks like!" He drives the vehicle forward until he stops in front of a cage dangling in the air.

"Well somebody put the rust in rustic charm," Leo chuckles at his joke, a drum going off as a rim shot. Raph is laying on the ground.

"That armor piece has to be in here somewhere. Keep your eyes peeled," Raph warns him as they step carefully in the dark.

"I would if I could see more than two feet ahead-" He bumps his face into something. "Oww!"

"My leader instincts are tingling," Raph looks at the button Leo hit. "These must be the lights." He presses it, but this only opens the cage that was in front of the bus, red eyes stare at them.

"Quick question, have we been on enough of these missions to form an opinion about glowing red eyes?" Leo stares up at it.

"I've got an opinion..." A large shadow lands in front of them. "RUUUN!" Leo and Raph run for the bus

"I'm starting to think Donnie, Emma and  Mikey's plan was better!" Leo calls out as the being tries to eat them. "I hate this, I hate this!" The attacker lands in front of the bus. "Ah, it looked at me!"

They manage to get inside just in time, but the creature manages to stick its head inside the bus, revealing itself to be a cat with a long tongue and sharp teeth.

The cat starts licking Leo face much to his disgust. Raph attempts to start up the bus.

"Come on, come on, come on, come on!"

Leo screams as the tongue pulls him towards the mouth.

"Come on!"

Raph finally gets the bus started and Raph reverses it

.........................................

"I don't know how you slicksters talked me into it, but here are the keys to my entire junk enterprises," Repo holds up the keys around the claw.

"A pleasure, sir," Donnie grins at how their plan worked. "And here is a briefcase of our 100 percent real artisanal currency."

"Very Very real." Emma nods

"Just let me grab a few things and I'll be out of your top hats forever."

"Good work, Arm Brewster," Mikey whispers to Donnie once he leaves. "Now we can take our sweet time and look for that piece of the-"

"Save yourselves!" Raph shouts as the cat has escaped.

"Raph! I told you to stay in the car!" Mikey yells at him, Donnie's and Emma's mouth opened in shock. Repo comes back upon hearing the commotion.

"Who are these guys? Turtles? You running some kind of scam on me?!"

"Look out!" Leo warns as something hits Donnie and Repo. "Hairball!"

Repo slides to a stop, shouting in surprise. "And you let my cat out?! Are yous crazy?"

"Kitty!" Emma excitedly cheers jumping out to hug it but luckily Mikey grabs holding her close "Nugget no!"

"Tell it we're friends?" Raph asks nervously.

"Oh, it won't help. Mrs. Nubbins used to be so cuddly until she got mutated into a mantis. Now all she wants to do is eat my head!"

"Fun fact, praying manti often practice cannabilism," Donnie says to no one, gesturing to the cat-mantis chasing her owner.

"Not fun for me!" Repo cries out, the others just watching.

"I think we're done here. You guys wanna bounce?" Leo asks them.

"But we haven't found the armor, and we can't leave him to get eaten," Mikey defends next to him.

"Well, great. We get to save the guy who once repoed a birthday cake," Leo rolls his eyes.

Mrs. Nubbins sees Repo as he's hiding, raising an arm towards him. Leo jumps in front of the man and creates a portal, the arm teleporting to punch her in the face.

"Power smash!" Raph's red body appears as Leo
jump next to it. They head towards the large creature, who swallows them up. Donnie flies above it, with Mikey sitting on his shell.

"Uhh..."

She eats them as well she looks to see Emma patting her head affectionately "Who's a scary Kitty? Who's a scary Kitty?" Mrs Nubbins purrs nuzzling to her but grabs her in her tongue pulling her in as she's chomps on them. "Ow, ow! Man Raph! Why didn't you trust us to do our plan? Ow!" Mikey asks while shouting in pain. Raph manages to hold the mouth with his bare hands.

"Cause anytime a bad guy says don't go in there, you're supposed to go in there like a boss!" Raph shouts in retaliation.

"No you listen to the bad guy! You should of trusted us Raph." Emma holds onto a tooth hanging upside down

"You guys are right. Raph's had nothing but bad ideas today."

"We weren't saying you don't have good ideas," Mikey speaks up, "We're just saying that sometimes we do too."

Mrs. Nubbins roars, throwing them up into the sky. "But now is not one of those times!" Donnie screams as they fall towards her. "Uh, got anything, boss man?"

"Okay, okay, maybe we can trap it somehow if we all put our heads together!" Raph shouts over the wind. "What do we know about cats? Go!"

"Well, they're warm, they're fuzzy, and they're always trying to eat Dad!" Leo points out Emma sees that they're closer to the ground she gets in the middle and takes a deep she holds her nose, blowing out making bubbles forming around them, mixing together into one big bubble they bounce slightly and roughly land in a car as the bubble pops.

"Guys that's it!" Emma's eyes sparkle with realization "Daddy's a rat and cats love mice!"

"That's it!" Mikey gestures to the car. "I bet we can make a manti-cat-sized mouse!"

"Sounds like a great plan," Raph gives a thumbs up. Together, they use satellite dishes, headlights from a car, and spray paint to make the car look like a mouse.

Emma pulls out a can of stinky cheese spray "Hold your nose boys!" Everyone holds their nose as she sprays the car making it smell like cheese. Leo drives it and the Mrs. Nubbins manages to find the cowering Repo.

Donnie laughs as tennis balls are fired at its face.

"It's playtime, Mrs. Nubbins!" Mikey calls out as they drive past the two. Mrs. Nubbins sniffs the air smelling the cheese scent and licks her lips chasing after them, thinking that it's a real mouse as Donnie continues firing tennis balls. However, he can't get a good shot and they drive along the top of other buses.

"Get her in there!" Raph points to where they found the bus.

"I'm on it. Everybody bail on three! Three!" They scream jumping out as the car goes into the hole, the cat-mantis taking the bait.

"Raph! The bus!" Mikey shouts nearby.

"I got this," He starts to push the bus "Pushing...like...A BOSS!"

"Raph, Raph, Raph!" The others cheer, but once again, it's just Leo poking him.

"Raph. Hey Raph."

"Huh...? What happened?" He murmurs as his vision clears again.

"You passed out again. Are you getting enough iron? Anyway, while you were out, Emma picked up the bus and put back in the spot Big scary kitty is all locked up!" Leo explains to him.

"Oh right..." He sits up slowly. "Great plan, team."

"Nice work putting my cat away," Repo appears in front of them. "She gets so cranky when she's hungry." He hears her roaring. "I'll feed you soon, my little snuggly wuggly!"

"So, Repo," Raph approaches him, "Now that we solved a very important problem in your life..."

"How about hooking us up with that piece of mystic metal you snagged earlier today?" Mikey finishes for him.

"Wha, mystic metal?" He taps his chin, trying to remember. "Oh, that was a special order from a couple of shoe salesmen with flame heads. They picked it up just before youse guys got here."

That's not good...we gotta go!" They leave, Repo opening up the briefcase to find a bunch of tuna instead.

"Hey...! This isn't money! This is a briefcase full of loose tuna!"

As soon as he says that, the entrance is broken open from the inside as Mrs. Nubbins appears, heading towards the tuna. "No! You're kidding! Oh, snuggly wuggly!" He shouts as he's being thrown into the air.
