[Cheering on TV]

[Michelangelo]
Check it out, amigos--

The latest issue
of Alien Invaders.

Yeah, that's wonderful news.

Now, can we watch
Cube of Misfortune
in peace, please?

[buzzer sounds on TV]
[cheering]

[buzzer sounds]
[Raphael]
He got hit with an "M"!

Oh, don't take it!
Go for a vowel!

By the way, I saw
our little bud Zack
at the comic book store.

Zack? We haven't
seen him in a while.
What's he doing?

[Michelangelo]
Same as me--
Reading Alien Invaders comics.

Wow!
[tires screeching]

This is
the best issue...
[shouting]

...of Alien Invaders yet!

Invasion of the Bug-Eyed
Terminators.

Awesome! What?

Oh, no!

It's the bug-eyed
terminators.

They're here.

I gotta warn somebody.

[phone ringing]

Police precinct.

Sergeant O'Flahrety
speaking.

The bug-eyed terminators
have landed!

They've invaded a building
at the corner of 5th
and Robertson!

[stammering]

The terminators?

We're on our way,
me boy.

And you stay away
from them.

Attention all units
in the area of 5th
and Robertson.

An alleged invasion
of aliens has been reported
in the vicinity.

Bug-eyed aliens?
Sounds pretty silly to me.

Not to me.
You should have seen
my date last night.

Let's check it out, anyway.
There may be a story.

[tires screeching]

[tires screeching]
[siren wailing]

The aliens are in there!

Zack?
What are you doing here?

Oh, hi, April,
Irma.

I'm the one one
who reported
the invasion.

Look! The police
nabbed those aliens.

Get this on tape, Irma.

Huh?
They're not
bug-eyed aliens.

They're bug-busters.
Swell.

We've scooped
the other stations

with a story about
an invasion of pest
exterminators.

[April on TV]
At this moment, the police
are talking to the boy, Zack,

who called in this report

of an alien invasion,
apparently as a prank.

But they looked
just like Martians!

Martians?
What's gotten into Zack?

Well, offhand,

I'd say the latest issue
of Alien Invasion comics.

It appears Zack's imagination
has gotten the better of him.

Perhaps a talk
with our young friend
would help.

Tubuloso idea, sensei.

I'll give
the micro-dude a call.

[Zack]
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
said they'd meet us here.

I guess we're early.
Swell.

I'll go grab a pizza,
little bro.

You get a table.

[gasps]

Alien Robots!

Robots are invading the mall!
You gotta warn people!

Sure, kid.
First thing after lunch.

Why won't anyone
believe me?

Excuse me, sir.
I need your piano.

[gasps]

You robots can't invade

this mall without a fight!

Look what you've done
to our robots.

Fleagle's Department Store
display is ruined!

Shop at Fleagle's.

Shop at Fleagle's.

[pitch dropping]
Shop at Fleagle's.

Uh-oh.

Zack said he'd meet us here
at the pizza parlor.

Look, there he is
in that crowd of people.

[Crowd chattering]
Just wait till Mom and Dad
hear about this!

But they look just like the
robots in Invasion From
The Planet Androidia.

Honest.

Yeah, robots
you'll be paying for
out of your allowance

for the next 150 years.

Another bogus alarm?

The dude is in major trouble.

[Donatello]
What is making
Zack act like this?

[ Michelangelo]
And when's he gonna stop?

Not real soon,
or this is gonna be
a real short episode.

[static]

Zack calling the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Yeah, this is Donatello.
What's up, Zack?

I just saw alien slime monsters
coming out of an excavation
on Hill Street.

Oh, come on, Zack.
Another one?

Really, I did see 'em.
Honest.

Here, see for yourselves.

Holy guacamole!
They do look like
slime monsters!

Maybe this time
Zack is telling the truth.

Boy, you made it
just in time, Turtles.

The slime monsters
are just coming out now!

[Turtles]
Whoa!

Zack is right!
Those are
slime monsters!

I'd recognize them
anywhere...

after reading
Alien Invaders.

We'll stop 'em.

Right!
Let's hose 'em!

Uhh!
Uhh!

Hold it! Hold it!
They're not slime monsters.

They're city
tunnel workers.

[grunting]

Uh, sorry guys.
Ha ha. Our mistake.

Hey, anytime, guys.

We needed
to clean up, anyway.

Gee, fellas,
I'm sorry.

I could have sworn
they were slime monsters.

Right. Just like those
alien robots in the mall?

Oh. You saw that, huh?

Yeah. We also saw
your busting of
the bug busters.

Look, Zack, we appreciate
your trying to help,

but this is one false alarm
too many.

Yeah, you're right.

I guess I don't deserve
to be a Turtle anymore.

[sighs]
Maybe it's
for the best.

Just until you get your
imagination under control.

Hey, you'll always be our
fifth Turtle, micro-dude.

[sniffle]
I--I'm sorry.

Poor little bud.

[Zack]
But, Mom, Dad!

Anyone could have
made the same mistake.

Once is a mistake,
Zack dear.

But three times?

That's why we're
putting you in this
military school, son.

We don't want
to do it, Zack.

We just didn't
have any choice.

[sighs] Our only hope is
they contain this wild
imagination of yours.

I'm Colonel Clout,
the Commandant.

Welcome to Ten-Hut
Military Academy.

And you must be Zack.

Well, I'm sure you'll be
very happy here.

Be sure and write us, son.
Bye-bye.

Bye.

You will enjoy
your stay here!

And that's an order!

Yes, Colonel.

Sergeant Rambo!

Yeah, Colonel Clout?

Show recruit Zack here
to his quarters.

Sure thing, Colonel.

Forward march!

Hup 2, 3, 4.
Hup 2, 3, 4.

Recruit Zack,
this here is your bunk.

You gotta keep it neat
at all times, you understand?

Yes, sir,
Sergeant Rambo!

Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup!

Wow. Is that Rambo guy
always so uptight?

[robot-like]
Sergeant Rambo
is a wonderful man.

Colonel Clout
is a wonderful leader.

Ten-Hut Military Academy
is a wonderful school.

Is he for real?

Aw, don't mind him.
All the kids are like that.

[Zack]
What, like a bunch
of zombies?

Right. They've been
that way since
I got here yesterday.

Oh. My name's Eric.
Hi. I'm Zack.

Listen,
let's stick together, okay?

And maybe we won't
turn into...them.

Deal.

Hey, Walt. It's Donatello.
How's Zack doing?

Hi, Donatello.
Zack's not here.

My folks enrolled him
in military school.

Military school?

Gee. Well, uh, okay.
Bye, Walt.

Gee, the poor little guy.

I'm hungry.

I wonder where a guy can
scrounge a late-night snack
in this place.

The kitchen ought to be
around here somewhere.

[Man]
Hold him down, Wingnut!

[Second man]
Well, give me
a hand, Screwloose!

Wingnut? Screwloose?

Those voices belong
to Colonel Clout
and Sergeant Rambo.

Let me go,
you jerks!

Sure, kid!
In a minute!

Whew. This kid
tires me out.

I'm taking off
this monkey suit.

Good idea.

Ah!
It feels
a lot better.

Wha--What are you guys?

Oh, no!
They're aliens!

You're a bat--
and a mosquito.

We'd rather think of
ourselves as Wingnut...

And Screwloose!

We're from the
planet Flagenon,

and we're here
to conquer Earth.

We've taken over
this military school

to train young recruits
like you to help us.

And that's all the
exposition you're gonna get
out of me, young man!

You guys are totally wacko!

Ha! That's what
they all say.

Switch on the Mind Changer,
Screwloose.

[evil laugh]

[grunting]

How do you feel,
human?

[robot-like]
Ten-Hut Military Academy
is a wonderful school.

Sergeant Rambo is
a wonderful sergeant.

Colonel Clout
is a wonderful colonel.

Oh, no!
They brainwashed Eric!

Good! Another dedicated
soldier for our army.

Can we go check out our
weapons now, Screwloose?

I really like
doing that.

Sure, Wingnut!
Let's do it!

Eric, you can
go back to bed now.

Yes, Colonel.

[wings buzzing]

I gotta get outta here
before they turn me
into a zombie, too.

No! As a former member
of the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles,

it's my duty to defend Earth
against these invaders!

Wingnut, with these weapons
and the soldiers
we've recruited,

we'll soon rule the earth.

These roach-bots
will eat through
metal walls in seconds.

Good think we keep them
in wooden crates.

Yeah. I can't wait to use
this disintegrator bazooka.

[Wingnut]
Will you stop
playing with that thing!

[Screwloose]
Aw, you never let me
have any fun.

Come on!

We gotta turn that new kid
Zack into a zombie.

They're not
making me a zombie.

Get back, you--
you robot c*ck!

Hey! Gimme back
my Turtle mask!

Now there's a c*ck
robot on the loose.

I better warn the police.

What's that?
An alien invasion?

With giant c*ck?

Say, aren't you the kid
who called us about
the alien terminators?

Oops, sorry.
Wrong number.

The police will
never believe me.

I gotta call the Turtles!

It's a good thing I know
their unlisted number.

[telephone rings]

[all snoring]

[ring]

[All]
What? What?

[groggy]
Hello?

Leonardo, this is Zack.

I'm at Ten-Hut
Military Academy,

and it's been
taken over by aliens!

Oh, Zack.

Haven't you gotten into
enough trouble

with these stories
about alien invaders?

Yeah, I know, I know.

But you gotta believe me
this time, fellas!

They're planning to--

Hey! Let go!

Hello? Hello, Zack?
[dial tone]

Something's
happened to him.

It sounded like
somebody cut him off.

Maybe this time
it's for real.

Yeah, and maybe
I'm the Tooth Fairy.

Just to make sure,
Donatello,

you and Michelangelo go to
Ten-Hut Military Academy
and check things out.

[Screwloose laughs]

Let go of me,
you creeps!

You were trying to
warn somebody about
us, weren't ya?

What if I was?

Well, it's too late!

By tomorrow, every soldier
in this installation

will be programmed,
armed, and ready

to take over this
puny planet,

and no one can stop us!

Oh, yeah?

The Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles can!

Wingnut, take young Zack
to the Mind Changer.

He'll be the final soldier
for our invasion of Earth.

You'll never get away
with this, you alien creeps!

Oh? I think we can
change your mind!

[laughs]

April, Irma,
go to 10th and Main.

There's a giant
metal-eating c*ck

terrorizing workers
in a high-rise
construction site.

[April]
Right, chief.
We're on it.

Another crazy assignment.

How are we supposed
to locate this
giant bug, anyway?

Something tells me
we already have.

Those construction workers
are running away from something.

Sounds like
a plan to me.

Let's go see what it is.

Eww! That is
one big bug!

It's also one big scoop!

Oh, no.
It sees us.

April! It's coming
this way!

Good. We can use
some close-up footage.

Uhh! Uhh!

April! Help me!

I've fallen,
and I can't get up!

Hang on, Irma!
I'll think of something!

[Irma screams]
But what?

[screams]

[Irma screaming]

[screams]

April! Help me!

Don't go away, Irma!
I'll be right back!

I hope I can figure out
how to do this.

[screams]

Got it! That should hold it
until the police arrive.

Hold on. That looks like
Zack's Turtle mask.

I better contact
the Turtles.

That is Zack's mask.

Thanks for
alerting us, April.

Zack? Where is he?

He's at Ten-Hut
Military Academy,

and we're headed there
right now.

[Screwloose laughs]

Now we will create
the final soldier for our
army of conquest.

No, wait! Don't!

[laughs]
[door buzzer]

Oh! Go see who that is,
Wingnut.

Right, Screwloose.

Put on your disguise,
numbskull!

Oh, yeah.
I forgot.

[buzzer]

The service is
kinda slow here.

Yeah, and where are
all the kids?

Yeah?
What do you want?

Uh, we'd like to see
one of your students.

His name is Zack.

Well, you can't.
He's, uh...

he's on a special
training mission.

Now go away!

Whoa, what
a totally rude dude.

Donatello!
Michelangelo!

Oh, no,
you don't!

Donatello!
Michelangelo! Help!

[Michelangelo]
Did you just hear something?

It was probably
nothing.

Come on.
Let's go.

[doors close, engine starts]

[laughs]
Your friends are gone!

And now to proceed
with our plans!

Wingnut, put him
into the Mind Changer!

Right, Screwloose.

Soon you will be
under our control.

Hey, if it's all right,
I'll just hang out
for a while.

Why are we splitting,
compadre?

I know I heard Zack
call for help.

Yeah, but I wanted them
to think we were leaving.

Whoa! Mondo notion, dude!
So what's the plan?

Well, since we can't
get in the front,
we go to the back.

[tires screeching]

I figure we'll use
the Turtle Van's
catapult

to get ourselves
over the fence.

That sounds good,
especially the over part.

Ready or not,
here we come!

Whoa!
Whoa!

Uhh!
Uhh!

You know, we could have
just climbed over.

I got a feeling there's
something weird
going down up there.

No wonder.

Look at all the power
they're using.

I'll shut it down.
That'll buy us time.

[buzzing]

Hey, let's check out
what's happening
to our little bud.

Hey, something happened
to the power.

Well, don't just hang there,
go fix it!

Ow!

Oh, I wish I knew
how other bats do that.

Holy guacamole!

Zack was right.

They really are aliens
from another planet.

And ugly ones at that.

I'll contact the other dudes.

Oops.

Okay. The power's back on.

Uhh!

Earthling intruders!

[alarm]

Now what's going on!

Did you see that?
A giant mosquito.

They must have some
humongous frogs
in that dude's swamp.

Michelangelo!
Donatello!

Don't sweat it, bud.
We'll get you out of there.

Look out!

[both]
Hey! Let go!

Ha ha ha!
The intruders!

Are you from
another planet, too?

They're the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles,

and you'd better
let 'em go!

Oh. The ones who were
going to rescue you?

[laughs]

You two will make
fine soldiers in
my invasion army.

Invasion army?

They've turned
all the kids into
mindless zombies.

I wonder if they did it
by letting them watch
too much television.

No, they did it
with this machine:
a mind changer.

And now we're gonna
change your minds!

Uhh!
Uhh!

I can't believe we're about
to be turned into zombies

by a giant mosquito
and an overgrown bat.

And that's coming from
a 5-foot-tall
talking turtle.

[tires screech]

[Leonardo]
April, any sign of
Michelangelo or Donatello?

Not a clue, Leonardo.

They must be inside
the school grounds.

We'll soon find out.

[Screwloose laughs]

Three for the price of one!

Oh, I feel my mind
emptying out
completely.

What mind?

I got an idea.

The power for this
Mind Changer

comes from that
central electrode.

If we can
short it out--

Good idea, Zack, but we're
kinda tied up right now.

[grunts]
I'll get my honorary
Ninja Turtle badge.

Got it!
Now to toss it!

You did it!

It's a regular
Zack attack.

[Screwloose]
Power overload!

Uhh!

[Wingnut]
Whoa!
Uh-oh.

[coughing]

We gotta save
the other kids!

Lead the way, Zack.

Wha--What happened?

How did I get here?

Well, it looks like
destroying the Mind Chamber

released the hold it had
on the students.

Uh-oh.
Party's over, dudes.

Here come the aliens again.

We gotta get 'em to chase us
so the kids can get away!

Cowabunga!

There they go!
Stop them! Destroy them!

[both]
Whoa!

Uh-oh.

Dead end.

I hate being
a sitting turtle.

I believe the term is duck!

Good idea.

Okay, fellas. Now!

[buzzing]

Great work, guys!

Our army! Gone!
Now what do we do?

We buzz off,
that's what.

[wings buzzing]

[rumbling]

[Turtles]
Ow! Uhh!

That was an actual
spaceship.

Then Zack was right.

There really were
alien invaders.

And Leonardo gave me back
my TurtleCom.

I'm an honorary
Turtle again.

I'm so sorry, dear.

We should have
believed you

when you told us
about those alien invaders.

It's not
your fault, Mom.

I mean, who believes
kids anyway?

Well, from now on, I do...
this kid, anyway.

By the way, do you suppose
I could get a subscription
to Alien Invaders?

It's kind of neat.

[April, on TV]
And so young Zack
is an overnight hero

for helping to thwart
an alien invasion.

The city thanks him.

That's great!
Now Zack is a hero.

And I'll bet he learned
a good lesson from all this.

Indeed he did.

Some youngsters
never learn the difference
between reality and illusion.

Alien invaders!
Alien invaders!

We're ready
for 'em!

How about one of you dudes
giving me a hand
with these pizzas.

Unfortunately,

some turtles
never learn
the difference

between reality
and illusion, either.
