Rise of the TMNT: My Version

The Gumbus

The episode begins with Mikey, Sparky, and Squeaks watching a video on Donnie's tablet under a pillow fort.

Boy: It's the Gumbus!

Trio: (screams and shivering in fear under blanket)

Leo: (picks up tablet) Whatcha' watching, Miguel?

Mikey: (emerges from the falling pillow fort) Omigosh! Omigosh! We were watching our favorite can-stacking channel!

Ashley: Can-stacking?

Ferdinand: Weird...

April: But okay...

Jolteon: Yeah! Stockboii is our favorite can-stacker! We were watching his videos and...

Dedenne: You should probably check it out for yourselves! (presses play)

Stockboii: Okay. I had finish with the greatest masterpiece. Where no other stockboy can ever do. The Liberty Stack! (hears a noise) What was that? Is anybody there?

But suddenly, he got dragged by chains.

Stockboii: It's the Gumbus~! (video cuts short) Don't forget to subscribe and donate!

April: Whoa! What's a Gumbus?

Mikey: It's a ghost (hugs April) that haunts the Stock 'n Shop!

Dedenne: It's super scary!

Jolteon: And terrifying!

Raichu: That sounds ridiculous! There's no such things as ghosts!

Scylla: Ghosts do exists, Lemon. It's just you haven't had a paranormal experience.

Leo: Paranormal experience? Come on. Ghosts only exists through ghost stories. Just imaginative.

Scylla: I see. So you're one of the skeptics eh.

Mikey: But how could you say it doesn't exists when there's a thing about us?! The Gumbus is real!

Ferdinand: This is a huge scoop for the school's newspaper!

Ashley: Let's settle this debate by going in the Stock 'n Shop and tamper with the unknown. (laughs evilly)

Ferdinand: Great idea! This is gonna be in the front page! Headline: "The Gumbus Frenzy; Ghost haunts supermarket!" Everyone will be reading it for sure!

Dedenne: I don't know about that.

Mikey: We'll just stay right here and rebuild our pillow fort.

Leo: (grabs Mikey's wrist) Don't be scared, Miguel. I'm gonna show you that ghosts such as "the Gumbus" doesn't exist.

Scylla: We'll see about that, Leon. 'cause once you experience the paranormal, you'll become a believer within seconds.

Leo: Whatever you say, Pumpkin.

|Stock 'n Shop|

The six falls down from the vault and into a dog pile. A vacuum with a flashlight attached to it falls on Leo's head.

Leo: What's with the vacuum?

Mikey: To suck the ghost right in!

Dedenne: It was the best thing we can come up with!

Raichu: Right~... Because ghosts can't get through a vacuum cleaner...

Dedenne: It'll work! You'll see!

Raichu: Uh huh.

Ashley: This is so cool! We're inside a supermarket at night! Dark, cold, mysterious. Anything can pop up out of nowhere.

Mikey shrieks and turns to see a train.

Leo: See? It was just a train.

Ferdinand: Nothing strange there. But let's keep a close eye for the Gumbus. It could appear anywhere.

Scylla: Or could possess anyone.

Mikey: Possess?! (steps back) I don't wanna be possess by the Gumbus! (turns and shrieks) I don't like this. (turns and shrieks) The Gumbus! (turns on vacuum) It's the Gumbus!

Leo: (muffling) Mikey! Mikey, stop! (pulls it out) It's me, Leo.

Mikey: Oh. Sorry. I thought you were the Gumbus.

Raichu: He wasn't the Gumbus, you idiot!

Ashley: Maybe we should split up and look for it.

Mikey: I don't wanna split up! He could get any of us that way!

Leo: (sighs) For the last time, there's no such thing as the Gumbus.

Suddenly, a mop appear on Leo's head.

Mikey: (screams) It's the Gumbus and it's possessing a mop!

Ashley: Hold on! (grabs mop) It's not the Gumbus. Just a regular mop that is being hold by... (April flashes light) him!

Leo: You?!

Stockboii: Sorry! I thought you were the Gumbus! Wait, are you turtles?

Mikey: We don't do labels. But we're big fans of your channel!

Stockboii: Cool. I'm always glad to see my fans. In any form.

Ashley: But wait a minute. How did you escape from the Gumbus? We saw you being dragged by chains in that video you made.

Scylla: And what is the Gumbus specifically?

Baxter: I was gonna get to that. (takes out phone) Let's go back to many years ago. 1987. (Mikey gasps) I'll spare you the gory details. The greatest stockboy the store's ever seen, Jeremiah Gumbus, got crushed by the chains of the meat processing plant.

Dedenne: What happened about sparing the gory details?!

Baxter: Chain and soul combine. And now, as the chain-laying Gumbus, he haunts the aisles of the store. Legend has it the only way to defeat the Gumbus from his eternal torment is... Huh? (gets grabbed by chains) It's the Gumbus~!

Ferdinand: Whoa! (takes a picture)

Ashley: Finally, some excitement! After him!

Stockboii: (screams echoes)

April: He went straight!

Mikey: But he's gone!

Raichu: No he isn't! He must hiding behind the stack of cans! (swipes cans to make them fall) See?! (turns two times) What?!

Leo: No way. This can't be. No~... This can't be right. There has to be a logical explanation for this.

Ferdinand: Guess not. (takes picture) This is getting more and more interesting by the minute! (hears footsteps) What was that?

April: Anybody there?

The light flashes down on a turkey.

Leo: A turkey?

Rockruff: Careful, Leo! It could be some kind of trap!

Leo slowly reaches to the turkey. The turkey suddenly sprung up.

Stockboii: I'm alive!

Leo and Raichu: (screams loudly) A talking turkey!

Stockboii: Guys, it's me. Stockboii.

Scylla: It seems the Gumbus put his soul in this turkey.

Ashley: Poor kid... He's gonna be a turkey for the rest of his life!

Ferdinand: I gotta take a picture of this! (takes picture)

Leo: This can't be happening.

Scylla: Now have you become a believer?

Leo: There has to be a logical explanation for it. There has to.

Scylla: Ghosts don't need logic. They can do anything that would break the logic barrier. So anyway, we should probably look for it now. Always make sure to stay close together and keep a sharp eye of it.

Everyone: Right! (walks away)

Stockboii: Hold on! Before you go, I need to tell you this! The only way to defeat the Gumbus is to make the liberty stock!

Ashley: Liberty stock. Got it. No worries, little dude. We heroes are here to save the day.

Rockruff: Just stay here while we do the rest!

Stockboii: I'll do just that! Good luck and be careful!

As they walk around...

Ashley: To be honest, this place gives me the creeps.

Ferdinand: But the kind of creeps that will make front page news!

Scylla: Let's not talk about the school newspaper. We have more important things to do.

Ferdinand: I know that! No worries! I'm just so excited!

Ashley: We know that, Ferd.

April: (makes everyone stop walking) Whoa!

Raichu: Wh-Wh-Who throw a br-br-br-breadstick?

Dedenne: I bet it's the Gumbus! He's here to kill us all!

Rockruff: Panicking isn't helping!

Suddenly, the food starts moving and floating.

Raichu: (screams loudly) The food's coming to life!

Scylla: We need to make that liberty stock.

Ashley: Me and Mikey got this! Just protect us as much as you can!

Ferdinand: We'll try to.

While they fight off the products, Ashley and Mikey puts together the liberty stack.

Mikey: This is exactly what the real Michelangelo went through when he created stuff! And we're basically the same level of artist!

Ashley: (puts flashlight on the hand can stack) And we're done!

Ferdinand: That was crazy... My head is spinning...

April: You did it! You appease the Gumbus!

Raichu: Finally... Now can we go home?

Rockruff: Not yet! We still have a Gumbus to capture!

Raichu: Oh no. I'm not gonna do this! (grabs Pokeball) See ya! (presses button to go inside Pokeball)

Leo: Lemon, don't be a coward and come out of there! Oh well. I guess I should use my other Pokemon. (switches Pokeball) Come on out, Onyx!

Grumpig: Grumpig! So we're at a supermarket eh?! (sniffs) Smells delicious in here!

Leo: You can eat when we get back to the Lair. For now, we have a Gumbus to capture and Lemon was too chicken to do it with us. So you're our best hope.

Grumpig: As long as food is involved I'll do it! I'll be much more confident then Lemon claims to be! (chuckles) So where is this Gumbus?

Ashley: Not sure but maybe he's right under our noses or something like that.

However, the flashlight turns off due to battery loss and suddenly, it becomes darker.

Ferdinand: This isn't good. (takes picture)

Scylla: But maybe you should turn around.

Ashley: What's wrong? You look as if you saw a ghost or something.

Leo: Ac-Ac-Ac-Actually, we are...

Ash and Mikey turns to see the Gumbus.

Everyone: (screams) The Gumbus!

Dedenne: I hate being here! I wanna go home!

Grumpig: Stop being a crybaby and attack that thing! Icy Wind!

Dedenne: I don't want to! I'm too scared to become Pokemon food!

Grumpig: (groans) What a scaredy-cat.

Rockruff: Take this! Stone Edge!

The Gumbus dodges it.

Rockruff: He's really fast...

Ferdinand: We just have to keep running until we lose sight of him!

Leo: How long is this aisle anyways?!

Ashley: Don't know! Don't care! We just have to keep running!

The Gumbus moves two shelves together to barricade them.

Scylla: Looks like this is the job for my (takes out mask) Mystic Mask! Change into Ghost Mask! (puts mask on and transforms) Hold on, everyone! This is gonna be a bit bumpy!

With a touch of her fingers, she turns everyone invisible in order to go through the shelves.

Scylla: There we go. (takes off mask to return to normal)

Ashley: (laughing) Again!

Ferdinand: Not again... I don't wanna do it again...

Leo and Mikey are hugging each other while shivering in fear.

April: You know how it works in movies. As long as we stick together, we'll be okay.

Ashley: Yeah. So you have nothing to worry about.

Scylla: So Leo, now have you become a believer?

Leo: Yes! I have become a believer of ghosts! Ghosts do exists! I'm sorry I ever doubt you! Please forgive me! Pretty please?!

Scylla: I do. No worries.

But the shelf that they were standing behind them shifts to the Gumbus.

Ferdinand: Awesome! (takes picture)

Leo: Let's run for it! (grabs Mikey and starts running)

Ferdinand: Looks like it's just us boys! But not to worry! I'll bring out someone to help us out! I choose you, Bayleef!

Bayleef: Bay!

Ferdinand: Bayleef, use Leaf Storm!

Bayleef: Leaf Storm!

The Gumbus uses his chains to destroy Leaf Storm.

Ferdinand: Now we're in trouble.

|Meanwhile|

Ashley: Stupid Gumbus. Turning the shelf to get Mikey, Leo, and Ferd.

Scylla: We gotta get to them!

April: But we need to gear up!

Ashley: Well there is some meat over there. Bet you can make a bow and arrow out of food.

April: You're on! I can make it within seconds!

Ashley: Like to see you try.

April: You'll see, Ash. I can do all of this within seconds. (walks away)

Scylla: And we better hurry before the Gumbus turn them into food.

Ashley: Hilarious yet disturbing at the same time.

???: But mostly disturbing.

Ashley: Huh?

Scylla: Did someone talked?

???: Behind you.

They turn around.

???: Sorry if I startled you. My name is Ethan and I'm a photographer. Very pleased to meet you.

Ashley: Ethan? Wait, how did you get in here?

Ethan: I have my ways.

???: Which would be me, Pala.

Scylla: Pala?

Pala: That is correct. Pala is a blue elf. Please to meet humans around here.

Ashley: Uh right...

|Leo|

Ferdinand: So any ideas as to how to defeat the Gumbus before our souls get taken?

Dedenne: I have one! Mikey, the vacuum!

Mikey: Oh right! I almost forgot! (grabs vacuum and points it to the Gumbus) Have some of this, Gumbus! (turns on vacuum)

Grumpig: You got him! Now suck him up!

Mikey: Right, Onyx!

However, the cloth got sucked in and it was reveal to be a robot hanging on a string.

Ferdinand: Wha?! (takes picture)

Leo: I knew it! I knew it wasn't a ghost! I was right! I was right! I was right!

Mikey: (as Leo continues chanting "I was right!") Ah man. I was scared of something that doesn't exists.

Dedenne: What?! We were afraid of a stupid robot the whole time?! (growling)

Bayleef: This is an outrage!

The robot then begins to attack them.

Leo: Grab what's near you!

Ferdinand: Already have my camera! I just have to change the setting to the color blue so it can be frozen.

Leo and Mikey grab some meat but it soon cut in half.

Ferdinand: Say cheese, Mr. Robot!

But before Ferd could snap the picture, a sausage hits the robot's head.

April: April~ O'Neil! I wish you were some kind of ghost!

Ashley: It's gonna attack.

April: Not for long. Salami~! (shoots salami to the string which causes the robot to fall)

Sylveon: Nice shot! I'll give that 10 out of 10 for perfect accuracy.

Ethan: Me too. That was a wonderful shot, April O'Neil.

Mikey: So glad to see you guys!

Ferdinand: Thanks for saving us!

April: Not a problem.

Stockboii comes out of the robot's chest.

Mikey: You?!

Dedenne: You were behind this the whole time?!

Leo: (grabs phone) And you were recording us?!

Ashley: What's the meaning of this?

Scylla: You better have a good explanation for this.

Stockboii: I was doing this for my channel. To teach cheapskates like you who watch my videos but don't subscribe and donate.

April: So you were doing all of this for money?

Scylla: That's messed up!

Ferdinand: It has become even more juicier. (takes picture)

Stockboii: Look, this is my parent's store. And they don't pay me at all. But there are big bucks in hoaxes.

Ashley: Taking advantage of people's emotions to gain money is not right. I have a little sister and she would never do anything THIS stupid! Now we're gonna take this phone along with all the video you have recorded.

Stockboii: What?! You can't do that! You'll rue the day you crossed with the boy genius, Baxter Stockboy!

April: Hold on. Your last name is Stockboy and you're a stockboy?

[LAUGHING]

Baxter: Stop laughing! It isn't funny! I'll show you what I can do! (pulls lever)

But before he could fight them, his parents comes in.

Mrs. Stockboy: Baxter, there you are! I thought you'd be home an hour ago!

Baxter: Ah man! It's my parents!

Leo: Well that's your problem. Upload a video of you grounded after this. (went up the vent)

Mrs. Stockboy: Look at this place! It's all a mess! And why does a turkey have a selfie stick?!
