We began in New York City, and above the rooftops, we see the Ninja searching for the Kraang.

Kai: Anything?

Zane: Nothing yet.

Meanwhile, Jay is poking Cole's head repeatedly. The aggressive ninja was cross-legged across the ground, back against the window, and arms folded. Jay chuckled as he poked his best friend's head again. Cole stops him by grabbing his hand with a small crack and Jay yelps.

Kai: [Annoyed] Guys, when ninjas are on surveillance, they are supposed to be silent.

Jay: Sorry, Kai. I'll scream quieter.

Annoyed, Cole slams him against the roof and wraps an arm around Jay's neck.

Cole: Say it.

Kai: Cole, be quiet!

Cole: Not till Jay says it.

Jay: Coleman Brookstone is all-wise and powerful.

Cole let go of Jay, then got him into a tighter choke-hold

Cole: And?

Jay: And he's better than me in every possible way.

Cole released him again and brought down Jay's back, sending him on the roof.

Cole: And?

Jay: And I'm a lowly worm beneath his feet, who isn't fit to live on the same planet as him, because he's so amazing and I'm a dirt clod.

Cole: [licks finger and proceeds to wet willy him] And?

Jay: [Whimpers] And in the history of the universe, there's never been...!

Kai: [Loses his patience] Okay, enough.

Cole: [letting Jay go] We're wasting our time. The kraang aren't gonna show up.

Kai: Have a little patience, will you?

Zane: Trust me, guys. They're gonna break into that lab tonight. I have reliable intel.

Cole: Intel? You mean Pixal told you.

Jay: You mean your girlfriend?

Zane gets stunned... but then gets annoyed and angry.

Zane: [Angered/annoyed] She's not my girlfriend, Jay. She's a girl who's a friend, whose dad got kidnapped by the same aliens who are gonna break into that lab. And we're gonna stop 'em.

Cole: Or we'll sit out on a cold roof all night for no reason.

Suddenly, the 50 year old bald man named Vic comes, overheard their conversation.

Vic: What the heck's going on up here?

Vic saw them, much to the ninjas' dismay...

Vic: [confused] What, are you playing dress up?

Kai: No, sir, we were just

Vic notices his satellite dish is broken due to Cole and Jay fighting. That's why he comes....

Vic: [Insults them, angry] Which one of you slimy ham shanks busted my satellite dish?

Cole: [Takes offense by this, enraged.] Ham shanks?!

Zane: [Dumbfounded] Since when did people say ham shanks?

Cole: Don't know. But I don't like it.

He is about to get his sais to hurt him, but Kai stops him.

Kai: Let's go.

Vic: [Still insulting] That's right, you spineless cream puff! Listen to your mommy.

Cole gets even angrier and holds out his sais.

Cole: Hey! Watch it, buddy.

Vic: Oh, no. I didn't know you had salad tongs.

Cole: Salad tongs?!

Furious, Cole goes after him, but his team holds him back. Unknown to them, their frustrating yellings get the attention of Norman Kraangs, who are loading mutagen canisters into the back of a van.

Cole: I'm not gonna take this from some greasy, pit-stained slob with a comb-over!

Vic: You calling me ugly? Have you seen a mirror lately, circus freak?

Kai: Cole, don't!

Vic: You want a piece of me?

Cole: When I'm done, a piece of you is all that's gonna be left!

A laser got between them. Looking over, they saw the Kraang who had climbed to the top.

Kai: Kraangdroids!

Vic: Holy Toledo!

Kai: Way to blow our position, Cole.

Kai scolded as they got their weapons ready.

[Intro]

The krang droids started to fire.

Kai: Scatter!

Vic takes cover behind the door and watches the Ninja dodging the lasers.

Vic "Holy cow. They're some kinda . . .
[Pulls out cell phone and begins recording.]
. . . Kung fu wannabes.

Cole runs past him and punches a Kraang up. Then, throw it before kneeing it a couple of times.

Kai dodges a few lasers and kicked away a Kraang while Jay flipped over the lasers and ducked, swinging his nunchucks in the Kraang's face.

Zane flipped over the lasers with grace and whacked one of them with his staff.

Vic: Keep going, Kung Fu Wannabes. This is pure gold.

Cole: We're not wannabes, old man!

Zane: Yeah, and it's not kung fu. It's an ancient Japanese battle art.

Kai: Guys, he got us on video.

Cole: [Growling like a dog] Not for long, he doesn't.

He starts to go after him, but Vic closes the door on him, causing the turtle to get smashed in the face and slide down.

Vic: I'm gonna make a fortune off of this!

Cole sits up, unfocused, and shakes his head.

Zane: Fire truck's en route. 30 seconds.

Kai: Let's move.

Cole: Wait! We have to find that guy and break his phone and his face! [grunts in frustration and leaves]

The young heroes returned to the lair and told Splinter about the mission, and he was not happy about it.

Splinter: [clearly not liking what he just heard] Not only did Coleman alert the Kraang, but you got caught... [glares at Cole] on video!

Cole: [defensively] Sensei, he was the angriest, nastiest guy you ever met!

Jay: Except for you.

Cole punches Jay in the head.

Jay: Ow!

Cole: You should've heard the insults this guy was throwing at us. They were so... insulting!

Splinter: [sarcastically; not buying this excuse] Oh, I did not realize he said mean things. Of course, you had no choice but to jeopardize your mission!

Jay: [mockingly] Buurn.

Cole grits his teeth at Jay.

Splinter: You are ninjas. You work in the shadows, in secret. This becomes difficult if there is proof of your existence in high definition.

Cole: Look, we know where this guy lives. All we need to do is find him and shake him until the tape pops out.

Zane: Oh, there's no tape. Video phones use flash memory and...

Cole growls at Zane like a bulldog in annoyance.

Splinter: Anger is self-destructive.

Cole: I always thought it was others destructive.

Splinter sternly; fed up with Cole's attitude and disrespect.

Splinter: Coleman! Stand up.

Cole stands up.

Jay: [smirking] Somebody's in trouble.

At the dojo, Cole stood in the middle as the three warriors held a bow and arrow with suction cups on them.

Splinter: Evade the arrows.

Cole: [smirks] No problem.

Splinter: Hajime!

Jay shot first, and Cole dodged easily, smirking. Kai gave the second shot, the arrow barely missing Cole. Zane finally took the final shot at Cole's back. Without looking back, Cole did a backflip, drawing his sai, and Splinter caught the arrow neatly.

Splinter: Yame!

They all stood to attention.

Splinter: Again, except this time, Kaito, Zander, and Jayden insult Coleman.

Zane: [hesitant] Wait. Insult.... Him?

Splinter: Yes.

Zane: And he can't fight back?

Splinter: No.

Zane: [joyful/chuckles] I'm feeling good about this plan.

Splinter: Hajime!

The trio circled around Cole while they were snickering.

Jay: You move like a bloated buffalo.

Jay taunted, shooting an arrow at Cole's head. The others laughed, and Cole ducked before glaring at Jay.

Cole: I do not!

Kai: And you're always whining. "Poor me. Nobody understands me. "

He aimed an arrow at Cole's back.

Cole: Well, you don't understand... Gah!

Kai's shot met its mark.

Zane: Yeah. And Oh! You don't keep your back straight when doing omote kote gyaku.

A third arrow hit Cole's back. Cole turned, glaring.

Zane: And you're ugly!

Zane added, as well, a fourth arrow.

Jay: And gassy!

Said Jay, finally getting his own arrow in.

Cole: [irritated] Stop it!

Kai: Oh, you talk so tough, but inside, you're just a scared little baby.

Zane: Who needs his bottle?

Zane taunted, firing another arrow.

Jay: And his diaper changed?

Jay fired an arrow.

Kai: What's the matter, Cole? Gonna cry?

Kai asked mockingly.

Cole: [Angered/Gets covered with arrows] Ah! I am -ooh!- not gonna cry! [falls]

Jay sighed with deep satisfaction.

Jay: I wish this moment could last forever.

Cole: You know what? Forget this. This is stupid.

Cole got to his feet, throwing his sai to the ground angrily.

Jay: Aww. It didn't.

Splinter: Ninniku seishin is the ability to endure insults with patience and humility. You can not be a true ninja until you master it.

The arrows popped off Cole's head, and Jay giggled. Cole glared at him, clenching his fists.

Splinter: Understood?

Cole: Hai, sensei.

Splinter: You must get that video back. Using reason, not force.

Meanwhile, Vic is talking to someone on the phone while leaving his apartment.

Vic: That's right. I swear on my mother's grave that these guys are superhero wannabes, and they know kung fu. You can't tell me that's not worth something.

Suddenly, the Ninja landed on the sidewalk, startling him.

Vic: Ah! I'll call you back. Lay one finger on me, kid, and I'm calling the cops.

Cole: We got off on the wrong foot last night. Some things were said, and well, we would just like that video back. Hmm?

Cole said as Kai elbows him.

Cole: Please?

Vic: What are you gonna give me for it?

Cole: Give you for it?

Vic: Well, I figure I've got you over a barrel, so you've got to make it worth my while.

Cole: I'll make it worth your while.

A fiery background appears behind him.

Cole: [Angered]

I won't take your hand and smash it against the...

Kai quickly, putting a hand on Cole's shoulder.

Kai: Okay, okay, thank you, Coleman. I will take over.

Cole started to sulk as Kai turned to the civilian, grinning nervously.

Kai: So what are you looking for?

Vic: A cool mil ought to cover it.

Kai: You're kidding?

Vic: Nope.

Kai: We don't have a million dollars.

Mikey: We do have some Canadian quarters that fell through the grate.

Vic: I can make serious money off this thing. And if you don't want to pay, I'll hold on to it until someone else does.

Cole: That's it!

Cole holds his hand, pins him, and finally loses it.

Cole: Hand over the video or, so help me, I'll kick your hairy butt all the way to New Jersey!

The others saw the Krang, getting Cole's attention.

Kai: Guys! The Kraang!

Kai said, pointing out a familiar white van, which revved its engines, and barreled down the road towards them, directly where Cole was.

Kai: Cole! Look out!

Jumping forward, the team leader pushed the human and his friend off the road just in time, as the van sped past them.

Kai: Let's not let this one get away.

The van turns around and comes back at them. Cole picks up a trash can and flings it at the van, hitting the windshield and sending the van skidding to the side where it hits a wall.

Cole: [crossed his arms and smirked] Well, that was easy.

The Krang emerged and fired their weapons.

Cole: Ooh-kay.

They started to attack the Krang. Meanwhile, Vic is on the ground as he tries to get away only to get pushed into the van. Cole looks to see Vic trying to get the phone.

Cole: Oh no ,you don't!

Kai: Cole, what are you doing? Get back here!

Kai gets caught off guard from Cole's departure, got a kick in the back, and fell to the ground.

Kai: Cole!

He shouted, protecting his face as the surrounding Kraang started kicking him.

Cole: We've got unfinished business!

Cole gets into the van.

Cole: You give me that phone right now!

The krang came in, and the van drove off. Zane and Jay helped Leo to his feet.

Kai: Cole's in the van!

As they chased after the van, Cole started to take down the Krang. After he defeated all of the robots, he offered a hand to the man.

Cole: Let's get out of here!

Vic: Forget it! You runts don't want to buy my video. Maybe these guys will.

Zane: Cole!

Zane shouted, holding out his staff for his best friend to grab as he tried to keep up with the van.

Zane: Get out of there!

Cole turned back to the guy angrily.

Cole: Listen, you idiot! Forget about the money for 5 seconds!

Cole gets pulled and thrown off by a Krang, where he crashes into the others. The van got away.

Vic: So long, wannabe. [to the Krang] Uh, thanks for the help, guys. Have I got a deal for you.

At the street, the warriors recover. Kai snapped.

Kai: Nice going, Cole.

Cole: What did I do?

Cole snapped back in Kai's face, jumping to his feet.

Kai: [echoed incredulously] What did you do? You left the three of us in the middle of the fight to yell at somebody. We could have stopped them, but thanks to your temper, the guy with the tape-

Zane: Again, technically, it's a flash-

Kai: Not now!

Zane looked at the ground dejectedly until he spotted something.

Kai: Is in the hands of the Kraang. How are we supposed to find them?

Zane: [sees a leak spill] Look, the truck's leaking!

Kai: All right! We can follow the trail to their hideout.

Cole: And then we'll bash some bots!

Cole smacked a fist into his palm. Kai fixed him with a cold look, crossing his arms.

Cole: What?

Kai: We are going to bash some bots.[Looking at Zane and Jay, then turn to Cole] You are going back to the lair.

Cole: What, are you kidding? [To Zane and Jay]Come on, guys. Are we gonna let Kai power trip like this?

There were a couple of moments of silence.

Zane: I think Kai's right.

Kai: You gotta control your temper. Until then, we just can't trust you.

Jay: Sorry, Cole.

The trio leaves, and Cole throws his sais on the ground in frustration. After a moment, he returned back to the lair.

Cole: Who does Kai think he is? So what if I got a temper? I'm still the best fighter we've got. In fact, if anything, my anger makes me a better fighter. [To his pet turtle] You understand me, don't you, Spike? Chew on your leaf if you understand me.

Cole said as Spike took a bite.

Cole: Yeah, I thought so.

Splinter: I understand you, too.

Splinter said, startling Cole, almost giving him a heart attack.

Cole: Seriously, you gotta knock or something.

Splinter: Coleman, let me tell you a story.

Cole: Sensei, I'm not in the mood for a story.

Splinter: Spike, chew on your leaf if you are in the mood for a story.

Splinter said as Spike took a bite.

Splinter: Very well. When I was a young man, I fell in love with a woman.

Cole: [sarcastic] Oh, hey, is it that late?[tries to leave]

Splinter: Sit.

Splinter said as Cole sat down and looked at him.

Splinter: Her name was Tang Shen. And I was not the only one who loved her. There was another man competing for her attention, Oroku Saki.

Cole: Shredder.

Cole said, knowing who he meant.

Splinter: One day, he insulted me in front of her. He called me many things.

The flashback begins showing Splinter when he was human, spending his romantic time with his wife, and then Shredder appeared, insulting him.

Splinter: I felt I could not let those insults go unanswered.

Splinter loses his temper and beats down Shredder.

Splinter: I lost my temper. Over time, our rivalry festered into hatred until Shredder sought to finish me. And I lost my beloved Tang Shen.

Cole: But.. But it wasn't your fault. Shredder insulted you. You had no choice.

Splinter: No choice? I could have chosen to ignore him. I could have chosen to let his words wash over me like a river over stone. But I let him anger me. It was I who made his words into weapons. That's the choice I made. What choice will you make?

Meanwhile, Kai, Jay, and Zane are following the leak and see a warehouse.

Kai: We're here.

Jay: Are we really gonna do this without Cole?

Kai: We can handle it.

Jay: I don't know. It just feels like something's missing.

Jay said when Kai smacks him on the head.

Jay: Ow! Thanks.

Kai: Happy to help. Let's go.

They begin to head up to the rooftop and inside the warehouse. Jay is looking at the spider webs on the crates.

Jay: Spiders.

They sneak around the corner, and Zane spotted a spider on Jay's head. He whacks it off.

Jay: You don't have to keep doing that.

Zane: There was a spider on you.

Jay: Well, there's a spider on you, too.

Zane: No, there isn't.

Mikey: Come here, you punk!

Jayclunges at Zane and starts knocking on his head.

Zane: Knock it off! Ow!

Kai: Hey! Shh.

They stop and continue on. Meanwhile, the Krang are standing in front of a machine. Vic was tied up in a chair.

Kraang: The image that is the image on the phone is pleasing to the eye of Kraang. This is true. Kraang is looking at what is known in earth terms as "handsome" in this phone.

Vic: Well, you guys drive a hard bargain. Tell you what, I'll drop it down to $500,000. And you can keep the phone.

Vic bargains, but they ignore him.

Vic: Okay, $400,000.

Kraang droid: This is our fight with the humans called the Ninja. The usefulness of this will be proven usefully with the more watching of this.

Kraang: Also, this is a good image of Kraang.

Kraangdroid: We should be showing the image of Kraang to Kraang.

Vic's chair begins sliding backward, away from Kraang. He looks back and sees the Ninja. Jay has hooked the chair with the chain on his weapon and is pulling Vic towards them.

Kai: [quietly] We're gonna get you out of here.

Vic: What about my phone?

Kai: Shh.

Vic: Don't shush me. I ain't leaving here without my phone.

Vic snaps, alerting the Kraangdroids.

Kraang: Stop the one that needs to be stopped. Stop!

Zane: [to Kai] Remind me why we have to rescue this guy?

Kraangdroids fire on the Ninja. They fight and begin taking down the Kraang. Vic has his eyes on his cell phone, which keeps getting kicked around in the fight. He rolls his chair back towards the phone, and a blast hits the wheels, making him fall over backward next to the phone. He puts his hand down on the phone, but a spider is also standing on the screen.

Vic: Got it!

A blast hits a cylinder of mutagen, breaking it open right above him. Vic yells in pain, causing everyone to stop.

Kraang Droid: Kraang, go look at the place where the thing that makes the noise is, and tell us what thing makes that noise in that place.

Kraang walks between two machines into darkness and then comes flying out again, right past Jay.

Jay: I don't like the sound of that.

Vic emerges. He now wasn't human. He was now a giant black widow spider with legs sticking above the head. He had four red eyes and bulky arms and legs. His body is round but no neck, and his mouth has huge fangs. On his head are four slender arachnid claws with orange outlines.

Jay: I don't like the look of it either.

Vic/Spider mutant: What did you do to me? I'm hideous.

Kai: Don't worry. The four of us can handle him.

Zane: Okay, this might be a bad time to point this out, but you sent one of the four of us home.

Jay: And right now, I wish it was me.

Spider mutant: This is your fault. I'm gonna rip your heads off.

Kai: All right, guys, prepare to dish out the mighty wrath of justice.

Zane: [irritated/dumbfounded] Seriously, man, just yell, "Get him."

Kai: Get..!

A leg smacked Kai aside, and the ninja leader crashed into a bunch of dusty boxes.

The spider leered, and Zane charged, jumping up, about to bring his staff down on the mutant spider's big fat head. The four spider legs blocked the blow and threw the white clad ninja back.

Jay smacking the spider's face with his nunchucks repeatedly before the legs knocked him aside as well.

Kai charged the spider from behind. The spider turned just in time. Kai jumped over just in time and landed beside his team.

Jay: Is that all you've got?

Jay taunted, and the spider hacked and spit an enormous slime yellow glob at their feet. The glob melted through the floor, leaving a smoking hole.

Jay: The answer I was looking for was "Yes. "
The mutant starts to corner them by spitting acid. the three warriors dodged them in a panic, as well as trying to avoid the spider.

The run towards the exit, the spider running after them, roaring. Suddenly, it landed right in front of them, roaring in their faces.

They scattered as the acid gobs started firing again.

Zane took a swing at the head and fell back quickly, allowing Kai to use his blades. The spider blocked each blow, biting at them. When a particularly close bite almost tore their faces off, the two of them fell back, just in time for an oil barrel, lobbed by Jay, to lodge itself in the spider's wide open mouth.

The spider looked as surprised as a spider who looked angry all the time could and tried biting down on the barrel. Smirking, Jay lobbed another oil barrel at the spider's face. Growling, the spider spit out the barrel and charged them.

All three ninjas gather to look at it as it comes towards them and realize they are standing on a section of floor that is melting. It breaks open, sending them falling.

Jay: We're no match for Spider Bytez.

Kai: "Spider Bytez"?

Jay: Well, he's a spider, and he bites, so I thought -

Kai: We get it.

'Spider Bytes' jumped down through the hole they'd fallen, landing on his so-called hands and feet and legs. The mutant spider stood himself upside down on his legs, backflipped right side up, facing them, and roaring in their faces. They tried to get away, but Spider Bytes corners them.

Kai: This bug is fast!

Zane: Yeah, spiders aren't actually bugs. They- ow!

Zane gets grabbed by one of his claws and is thrown aside to a crate.

Spider Bytes: Playtime's over, Wannabes!

Spider Bytes said, before hacking, and aiming a gob at Kai and Jay, who just managed to dodge. Spider Bytes came closer... and closer... They were pinned. There was no way out.

Cole: Wow.

Looking up, they saw Cole looking down at them.

Cole: I didn't think this guy could get any uglier.

Jay and Zane: [joyful] Cole!

The black clad ninja jumped from off top of the mutagen core and landed neatly on one knee behind the mutant spider.

Kai: Well, I think you've been punished long enough. Come and join us.

Spider Bytes: Hey, it's the kung fu wannabe with the salad tongs.

Cole: Hey, it's the stupid loudmouth who's about to get his butt kicked.

Cole countered, pointing his sai at him. Spider Bytez shoots goo at Cole, who sidesteps. It then bounces all around his team, spitting goo onto the floor in a circle. They hit the floor below, which is an iron grid right over a pool of mutagen.

Zane: Uh, let's not fall through this floor, okay?

Spider Bytes: Dance for me, runt!

Spider Bytes started to spit acid as Cole dodges.

Spider Bytez: Watch me turn your friends into wannabe fries. I'll serve 'em up with your salad tongs.

Spider Btyes started to jump through the ceiling and used his acid. Cole swings around and cuts the rope when he lands onto the spider. Cole turns to face him, gripping his sai as the spider gets to its feet.

Spider Bytes: Aw, froggy thinks he can stop me. Ribbit, ribbit. What's that, Tadpole? Are you too scared to leap off your lily pad and get the warts knocked off you?

Cole glared, shut his eyes, and took a long breath.

Cole: Like a river over stone.

Suddenly, his eyes opened, and he smirked. Darting forward, he dealt several kicks and punches to the spider's face, and it fell back with a dog like whimper. Spider Bytes then extended his legs, one of them aimed for Cole's face. Cole just managed to block it with his sai. Shouting with exertion, he pushed the leg aside just as a gob of acid came at him, the gob instead hitting the leg.

Spider Bytes shouted in pain, and his legs retreated. He examined his injured leg before turning back to Cole.

Spider Bytez: That's some kung fu, wannabe.

Cole grinned as his brothers in arms landed next to him.

Cole: We're not kung fu wannabes.[pointed one of his sai at the spider] We're the Ninja.

Taking that cue, all four of them charged. Kai sliced away one of the legs, while Jay zip lined across two others using his nunchucks, kicking Spider Bytes in the face. The spider flew back, and Zane and Cole dealt their final blows. Spider Bytes landed heavily next to the mutagen core, whimpering like a dog.

Promptly, Cole crushed the almost long forgotten phone underfoot.

Spider Bytes: Oh! My phone!

They surrounded the mutant spider, pinning him against the mutagen core. Spider Bytes looked at each of them.

Spider Bytez: You guys are gonna regret this.

He promised before flipping upside down and scuttling up the core.

Sheathing their weapons, the Ninja followed him up to the rooftop, where they saw him jumping from building to building, roaring like a T-Rex all the way.

Zane: I know a nice black widow that'd be great for him.

Kai: Good work, Cole. I just want to say -

Cole: You don't have to apologize.

Kai: I wasn't going to.

Cole: Oh. Good.

Jay: Yeah, Cole, not bad for a bloated buffalo.

Cole clenched his fist, glaring, before suddenly smirking. Cole dove for Jay, seizing him in a headlock.

Jay: Okay! Coleman Brookstone is all-wise and powerful.

Cole: And?

Kai and Zane couldn't help grinning as they watched Jay flapping his arms frantically.

Jay: And he's better than me in every possible way!

The End/Outro
