01x04 - Donnie Hangs Tough

[bunniefuu]

- Previously on

"Tales of the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles,"

some crazy lady
came at us with these robots

called Mechazoids.
You should've seen Donnie.

He got so excited.

Leo walked us into a trap,

stuff blew up,
blah, blah, blah.

I got kidnapped
by a bunch of rejects

called the Purple Dragons.

Yeah, you can't
make that stuff up.

A Mechazoid showed up
in the middle of it,

and I... I don't know, man,

I'd never done
anything like this

without my family by my side.

But me and the Dragons
teamed up

and stomped the thing.

Pretty cool
if I'm being honest.

Then I stole
their leader's bike

and went to save my brothers
because I'm awesome.

- [squeaking]

- I'm not gonna let anything
happen to us, Dad.

- I've got this.

- I'm not worried.

- Humans all seem
pretty awesome.

- And even if we run
into trouble,

there's nothing
we can't handle together.

feelings of inadequacy, too.

Are you actually

I have to find my brothers.

I have to save them.

A real live mutant
right here in our station.

We're gonna be famous.

Am I under arrest?

I can't be under arrest.

That goes

under arrest per se.

to question you.

For our book.

Mutant Edition."

you took aren't for, like,

sending to the SWAT team?

They're for a book?

the book into a movie.

Then we retire and open

We're all in danger right now.

The Mechazoid

I could take over all

Bishop, you can't do this.

Mutants are too dangerous to
let even one of you survive.

You're the dangerous one,
not us.

And, by the way,
even humans have mutations.

Try reading a book.

keeps searching

they'll start
targeting humans, too.

Everything mutates eventually.
