[Scene opens on Tobe reading a blueprint, chuckling manically.]
Tobe: This plan of mine is monstrous! The next time Garu and I clash, he will have to deal with: [cut to the blueprint which he puts down immediately, revealing a giant robot in Tobe’s likeness while a ninja works on it] Robo-Tobe. [scene cuts to a different angle that shows Tobe’s entire lair, laughs maniacally, zooms in on Tobe] It is… [clenches fist] brilliant. [Tobe walks inside] And that’s because I am brilliant. [scene zooms out to show three more ninjas doing household work] Is that not right?
Tobe’s ninjas: [in unison] Yes master!
Tobe: [smacking blueprint] Ah, it pleases me that you agree with everything I say. Now, get back to work!
[Ninja 1 dusts a picture of Tobe with duster nunchucks, Ninja 2 twirls a mop and proceeds to mop the floor, and Ninja 3 rolls out cookie dough, flings it into the air, and throws cookie cutter ninja stars at it. He then throws a tray at Tobe who catches it, and the cookies land on the tray.]
Tobe: [delighted] Excellent!
Ninja 1: [holding a bucket of nuts and bolts] What do you want me to do with all these nuts and bolts?
Tobe: Those are for my diabolical device! [drops tray in realization] HUH?! But if they’re here… what’s holding it together?!
[Cut to the ninja working on the robot outside, gluing the head on with toothpaste.]
Ninja: Is there anything toothpaste can’t do? [drops toothpaste tube] There. [slaps Robo-Tobe’s head] It’s solid as a rock.
[The head falls off and rolls towards the lair, launching Tobe and the three ninjas into the sky. The ninjas land safely but Tobe lands onto a cactus. He sees that the lair is still standing.]
Tobe: [wipes sweat] Phew. [the house proceeds to burn down and collapses] GAH! [grunts, angrily walks over to ninjas] That.. is IT! You’re all fired! Out, out, OUT, OUT!!!
Ninja 1: But-
Tobe: [angrily] OUT!!!
Ninja 1: But- but, but, but, but-
Tobe: [stomping on ground] O-W-T! [face reddens, with tears in eyes] OUT!!!
Ninja 2: Bu-
Tobe: [in his face, sinisterly] Out. Out. [cut to Tobe’s red eyes] OUT!!!
[Screen goes black. Cut to the main Sooga Village area, townsfolk walk past the three ninjas. Ninja 2 is playing the sitar while Ninja 3 walks around with a sign that has a picture of a ninja with a sword, indicating that they are looking for jobs.]
Ninja 3: Ninja for hire, we’ll work for noodles. Ninja for hire, we’ll work for nooooodles!
[As the scene pans over to Ninja 2 playing the sitar, Garu runs past him, who is being chased by Pucca on her red scooter. Garu sees that he is approaching a traffic light that turns red, causing him to stop. Pucca drives up to him, delighted. However, the light turns green and Garu zooms off immediately. As Pucca revs up her scooter, Ninja 1 runs in front of her with a window squeegee. The light turns red again.]
Ninja 1: Spare change? [wipes Pucca’s helmet with the squeegee. She grabs it and throws the ninja away as Ninja 3 stands in front of her.]
Ninja 3: [holds out hand] Spare change? [Pucca grabs his hand and pulls it down, causing the sign to smack his face, and throws him away as well. Pucca sighs and giggles happily in love, driving through the light when it turns green. Pan over to the ninjas, who are piled on top of each other.]
Ninja 2: Working for ourselves isn’t working. We need a new master. [the other ninjas agree]
[Scene transitions to the Goh-Rong Restaurant. As the chefs prepare food in the kitchen, the ninjas walk in.]
Ninja 3: We would like to work for you. [Dada slips on a puddle and drops all the kitchenware he was carrying.]
Uncle Dumpling: [sighs] We could use some good waiters.
[Scene transitions again, this time to the customers who are fatigued and mumbling. The ninjas walk out of the kitchen with noodle bowls as the customers clamor. They then walk back to the kitchen with the bowls, now empty.]
Uncle Dumpling: [holding bowl of freshly cooked noodles] Good job! Here, you can take these out now!
Ninja 1: Thanks, but we couldn’t eat another bite.
Linguini: You’ve been eating all the food?!
[The ninjas realize what they’ve done and deny it, only to be thrown out of the restaurant.]
Ninja 2: Tobe never kicked us out when we made mistakes.
Ninja 1: Actually, he did.
[Scene cuts to Tobe sitting at a desk in front of the remains of his lair. He is interviewing Dada, reading his resume.]
Tobe: So, you’re here for the job? Tell me: are you willing to be my ninja minion and follow my every command?
Dada: Well, there are a few things I just can’t bring myself to do!
[Tobe throws Dada to the ground.]
Tobe: NEXT!
[Screen transitions to show Tobe now interviewing a zombie.]
Tobe: Tell me… a little bit about yourself.
Zombie: [grunts] No brain...
Tobe: [brief pause, hops on desk] Are you… mocking me? [Throws zombie on top of Dada, his arms detach] NEXT!
[Screen transitions again to show Tobe interviewing Santa.]
Tobe: [looking at resume] Uh huh… it says here you are… “not available to work the night of December 24”?
Santa: [chuckles as Christmas music plays] Well, it’s my busiest night of the year! Ho ho ho!
Tobe: [crumbles up resume] I do not like my employees MOONLIGHTING! [Throws Santa onto the pile of people who have been rejected] NEXT!
Santa: You are a very naughty ninja! [Tobe throws the crumbled resume at Santa’s head] That’s why you never get any presents!
Tobe: [thinking] But, I get presents every year…
[The scene dissolves to a flashback, in which the three ninjas have given Tobe a present during Christmas. He opens it, revealing the gift to be a green sweater.]
Tobe: Aww, you shouldn’t have! [the front of the sweater has Garu’s face marked out] Thanks fellas. [sniffles, wipes tear away] Oh…[scene dissolves back to Tobe, who has teared up] Those sweet guys…
[Screen goes black. The next scene shows Bruce sitting in front of the Sooga Police Station about to eat lunch. Right when he picks up a sushi roll, the Cat Clan rushes over as one cat swipes it away, meowing.]
Bruce: Steal my lunch, do you? [shoots net at the Cat Clan, cat drops the sushi roll] From now on, you’ll be dining behind bars, over!
[Camera pans over to the ninjas, who have been watching from behind a tree.]
Ninja 2: Impressive! [Ninjas walk over to Bruce] Perhaps you will be our master?
Bruce: Do you promise to uphold the law and preserve the peace, over?
Ninjas: [bow down in unison] Yes master!
Ninja 1: [looks up] Over.
Bruce: Ah, I see you know how to talk the talk, over. You can start by taking these cat vandals to the station, over.
[Ninja 2 lifts up the net, causing the Cat Clan to immediately run away, rushing past Bruce. The three ninjas rush past him too and chase the cats in a police car. Heading towards Bruce, he leaps- avoiding the car- and sighs in relief, but promptly falls into an open sewer, surrounded by the goblins who are doing construction work. Scene cuts to the police car chasing the cats through Sooga Village as action music plays.]
Ninja 2: [over speaker] Over, over, over, over, over, over-
Ninja 3: [reaching for speaker alongside Ninja 1] Gimme that!
[The debacle over the speaker causes Ninja 3 to lose control of the car, driving towards the townsfolk and Bruce, who is reeling from the previous event.]
Bruce: Ouch. [sees incoming car, eyes widen, jumps] Oh! Oof! [car crashes into station] Oh no- ver. [car explodes, shoots Bruce into the sky, yells] Ohhh nooo! [lands on his face and sits up. The three ninjas land afterward; Bruce angrily seethes and grinds teeth together]
[Scene cuts to Tobe, who has rebuilt his lair very poorly but is standing. He is hammering a wall.]
Tobe: Ah, my new home. And I built it myself! [brief pause, Tobe looks down and picks up a framed picture of the three ninjas] Oh, but it would’ve been better if I had someone to build it for me. [sniffles, walks away] I need my ninjas.
[Scene cuts to the three ninjas running through a forest.]
Ninja 2: Tobe never got angry at us when we made mistakes.
Ninja 1: Actually, he did.
[The ninjas suddenly stop running, as they encounter Garu training. He is seen practicing his sword skills on three rag dolls that look like the ninjas, slicing all of them smoothly. Scene emphasizes how cool Garu looks with a black background and a red aura around him as he holds his sword to his face.]
Ninja 1: Wow, maybe Garu will be our master! [Garu opens one of his eyes and is thrown off guard by the three ninjas, who have surrounded him] Excuse me, we were wondering if you’d be our-
[Scene cuts to Tobe walking and fawning over the framed picture as Garu defeats the ninjas offscreen. The ninjas land on top of Tobe.]
Ninja 2: [grunts] Tobe never attacked us.
Ninja 1: Uh actually, he did.
Ninja 3: [sighs] I sure miss him.
Tobe: I… missed you too. [The ninjas' eyes widen in realization, clamor in confusion] You are my good picks, my loyal Tonies. Why, without you, I might not be able to destroy Garu and… [sniffs] and who wants to live in a world where Garu has not been destroyed?
[Tobe and the ninjas cry together, pan over to Garu standing in confusion]
Garu: Eh..?
Tobe: [offscreen] There he is! [Garu runs away, pan back to Tobe and the ninjas] Ninjas, ATTACK! [the ninjas hop over to Garu, but Garu is quickly rescued by Pucca, who is still driving her scooter. She stops to kiss him as Tobe walks over] It looks like we… [clenches fist] have you now, Garu.
[Pucca throws Garu and drives towards Tobe, during which she plucks an entire tree straight from the ground with one of her hands. Pucca whacks Tobe and his ninjas with the tree. They get thrown into the lair, which promptly collapses on them.]
Tobe: [under rubble, angrily] CLEAN UP THIS MESS!
