Leo: I bet he can't do it.

Mikey: Leave him alone!

Leo: Wha? I'm just saying he can't do it.

Raph: You're just trying to get through my head. I won't fall for it!

Donnie: Oh my peaches and cream, he just doubled.

Raph: Mikey!

Mikey: (wiping his sweats) Have I ever told you how big and beautiful you are?

Raph: No, but thank you.

Donnie: Uh, he's about to set a new high score! I can't watch, but can't not watch!

But suddenly, they heard a groan. They turn to see Splinter sick.

Splinter: Ow, my head!

Everyone: Oh no!

Splinter sneezes.

Mikey: Omigosh, omigosh, omigosh! Splinter's a zombie!

Donnie: Mikey, zombies eat other people's brains.

Raph: Rat flu. This is not a drill, boys. This is NOT a drill.

Male Voice: DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS!

The screen cuts to the Turtles hovering over Splinter who is lying down.

Splinter: I don't feel so good... Be honest. How do I look?

[CLOSE UP]

Turtles: (being disgusted by him)

Raph: You look fine! Totally fine! (closes curtains) He's not doing fine.

Donnie: A flu this intense will affect all parts of his body. We're talking about 7 stages until the body fully heals itself.

Raph: You know what this means right? It means we get another chance to get whatever we want!

They cheered.

Mikey: But poor pop... He's so sick...

Donnie: Yet hopefully we'll be able to reach stage 7 without us getting sick.

Raph: Exactly!

Leo: But what are we gonna ask him for?

Everyone: Hm...

Raph: Well... We should...

Donnie: I know! We should ask him for Uranium! If I can finally get my hands on some uranium, we would be invincible!

Mikey: What about an oven for pizza?!

Leo: But who's gonna clean it? Besides, I think we should ask him for matching unicorn onesies. They're sick and I nailed it.

The three started fighting.

Raph: Enough! We're gonna ask Splinter for one thing that benefits all of us.

Mikey: You're right, Raph. There should be one thing that can benefit all of us without us fighting each other.

Then they realize the AC is cranked up high.

Male Voice: STAGE 1: FEVER!

Splinter is being blown by the AC. He then starts shaving down his fur.

[Turtles]

Raph, Donnie and Mikey were shivering while being under a heat lamp.

Mikey: I hate Stage 1. Think hot stuff. Like pizza... Mozzarella... Pasta with meatballs...

Donnie: we could use our Fire Pokemon to heat things up.

Alolan Ninetales (over speaker): Sorry, guys. But we can't help you.

Raph: Why not?!

Quilava: Because we don't wanna get sick!

Donnie: Oh right. They're in the Pokemon-only room...

Leo (wearing a blue coat): I told you guys to be prepared for something like this. (drinks hot chocolate)

He then spits it out when he sees Splinter without fur.

Splinter: It was time... to fan out... (falls flat)

Suddenly, he starts growling and runs all over the place like a wild animal.

Mikey: This must be Stage 2!

Male Voice: STAGE 2: WILD RAT MAN!

Raph: Everyone, put on your suits!

Leo: Please don't eat us, dad! Eat Raph!

Raph: What?!

Leo: You have more meat then any of us!

Raph: Why you...!

Donnie: (as he's putting on the suit) You know what inspired me? I thought instead of using technology how about doing it in a simple way.

Leo: Just get on with it and get that container you build!

Donnie: Oh right! (presses button)

The water stops flowing to have the container roll down. It hits Leo

Raph: Now!

They were able to get Splinter into the container.

Donnie: Yes! I knew it would worked! The container is perfect for Rat Flu. And plus, having it in a sphere-shaped would fit the holes of the sewers.

Leo: Whatever. At least pops is in there.

[Pokémon]

Luxray: They seem to got it under control.

Quilava: Um... Think again. He's out.

Luxray: We should help them...

Alolan Ninetales: Agree. Let's help them out.

[Raph and Mikey]

Raph: Remember, Mikey. We need to find dad. Don't let him destroy the suit.

Mikey: Got it! Wish Rena was here...

Raph: I know but we can do this ourselves. Just be careful.

They looked around the messy room.

Mikey: (hears something) Did you hear that?

Raph: Yeah. Could that be...?

He turns to see Splinter who has hearts for eyes.

Male Voice: STAGE 3: CAPTAIN CUDDLE CAKES!

Mikey: Oh no! Now he's in Stage 3!

Splinter: There's my favorite boys! Come give your father a hug.

Raph: Run! (runs away) Don't let him touch you!

Mikey: (screaming)

[Leo and Donnie]

Leo: These are so hard to breathe in.

Donnie: Should've add a hole for breathing oxygen.

Leo: Ya' think?

Mikey: Run for your lives! Splinter is in Stage 3!

Leo: Not Stage 3! (runs)

Donnie: Don't leave me behind! (runs)

Splinter: Come and give your dad a big hug.

Raph: Suits on! Suits on! Leo, why did you take off the suit?!

Leo: I'm not the only one! Donnie took his off too! (trips and runs again) What's that smell?

Splinter: Here's a little something for my favorite son.

Leo: Oh no you don't! I'm your least favorite! (screams)

Leo gets quarantined.

Luxray: Leo's down.

Dragonite: Three more to go!

Dedenne: So what's the next stage?

Luxray: Stage 4 is... (dodges shurikens) Ninja Supreme.

Male Voice: STAGE 4: NINJA SUPREME!

Alolan Ninetales: Everyone, stay on guard!

Splinter in a ninja costume slashes Donnie, Mikey, and Raph's suits into pieces.

Raph: This is bad.

The lights turn off.

Dedenne: The lights are off!

Quilava: I got this. (makes flames out of the holes to make light) Much better.

Raph: Keep your guard up, guys. He could be anywhere.

Mikey: Huh? I think I found him!

Donnie: Mikey, that's my butt you're touching.

Mikey: Sorry! (pounces at Raph) I found dad!

Raph: Let go of me!

Donnie uses his night vision goggles to find Splinter who is heading to his lab.

Donnie: Not my lab... Ruby, come with me.

Quilava: Um okay. (follows Donnie)

Flareon: I'll light up the room for you! No worries!

They headed to Donnie's lab.

Donnie: I don't see him. Let's go in.

Quilava: I have a bad feeling about this. He could be anywhere. And I mean anywhere in this stage.

Donnie: Not as long as we're careful.

But they got attacked by Splinter who was on the ceiling.

Mikey: What was that?!

Donnie: Nothing. I'm fine. I just got scratched by one of my inventions.

Raph: There he is!

Floatzel: With a microphone?

Everyone: Oh no! Not this stage!

Male Voice: STAGE 5: KAROAKE LOVE SONGS!

As Splinter starts singing, everyone except for Donnie covers their ears. Donnie then gets quarantined as well.

Donnie: Oh, you're going to get squat from Splinter without ol' Donnie - NOT WITHOUT OLD DONNIE - I'm the brains of this operation!

Luxray: 2 down, 2 more to go.

Dragonite: Please stop this horrible singing!

Quilava: He should be in his next stage.

Male Voice: STAGE 6: FAN FICTION!

As Splinter plays it out, Mikey is writing it down on paper.

Mikey: Keep it going, dad! This is great!

Raph: And we have one more stage left!

Mikey sneezes thus being quarantined.

Salamance: And we have one more left. Make it count, Rapheal!

Raph: Understood! I'll make it count for everyone!

Male Voice: STAGE 7: MUST SAY YES!

Raph: Master Splinter, there's something I always wanted to ask you.

Leo: You can do it, Raph-a-doodle. You are such a great leader. Even though things don't go your way. I still love you. So I'm gonna hug you until you love me!

Dragonite: Concentrate, Raph!

Raph: I know that.

Donnie: Yessss... He must say yesssss...

Raph: Shut it! Splinter, I wanna ask you something. There's one thing we always wanted.

Leo: I can't do this anymore! (slashes curtains) Raph-a-doodle wants a hug because you're his favorite son ever!

Pokemon: No!

Raph: Leonardo, what have you done?!

Splinter: I'll give him a hug.

Raph: No! Don't get close to me, pops!

Splinter hugs him which causes Raph to get the Rat Flu.

Splinter: There you go. Now papa needs a bike.

Male Pyroar: Well there's always next year.

Dedenne: Next year?! (groans) I don't wanna do next year!
