[Mikey] What do I do now?

It's a zombie, Mikey.
Just hit it.

[growls]

What do you think?
Pretty cool, right?

I mean, yeah, I guess.

Do I just keep hitting them?

Ooh, yeah, here's another one...

and another.

-[keyboard clacking]
-[yawns]

Yeah, I'm all
for hitting things,

-but is that seriously it?
-Is there some strategy to it?

Or maybe a leader board
or something?

And by the way,
what's she doing here?

[sarcastically] Wow.
Thanks, Raph.

Irma's on the robotics team
with me.

She's helping with the code.

You guys are overthinking this.

We made an actual mutant zombie
fighting game for A.R.

[groans] Hey!

[Mikey] Let me try it again.

Get off me! [grunts]

-[grunts]
-[laughs] Ooh! I felt that one.

I changed my mind.
This is über-realistic.

-[sighs]
-[laughs]

Will you knock it off?

We just wanted some feedback.

How about make it
not boring and repetitive?

-Maybe give it a point.
-More fighting.

-You guys are the worst.
-[stretching groan]

It needs a story, man.

You're Mr. Sci-fi,
you love horror movies.

Just put some more
of that stuff into it.

They were
kind of jerks about it...

[sighs]
...but they're not wrong.

Fine. They want a story?
I'll give them a story.

messing around with that thing?

What are you trying
to make it do,

Man, you're setting the bar low

for evil robots.

I'm disappointed.

One, it's not evil anymore,

and two,
that's literally the assignment.

Picking up and retrieving
oddly-shaped objects

on the field gets
our robotics team extra points.

Yeah, that's, you know... cool?

I liked the thing better

about not revealing

He was attacked in Central Park

they were made up

by an angry kindergartner.

We need to be more strategic.

Let's follow him back
to his evil lair

so we can learn his evil scheme.

like the Kool-Aid Man.

You really think this guy
has schemes?

Don't you guys even wonder
where he came from?

Like, are we sure
he's even a mutant?

-Yeah.
-Looks like one.

Superduperfly's machine
probably zapped him,

or maybe there's more ooze
out there.

What difference does it make?

You know, no offense, Donnie,

but this isn't Godzilla, okay?
There's no aliens,

this isn't some other-dimension

and turtles love snacks.

Just, like, hack the watch
and tell us who the owner is,

what he wants,
where his hideout is!
