Okay here is the story so far.  At the archive... You know, on the other hand I don't do this they well. So, to recap the story so far, please welcome back Mr. Bugs Bunny.
Thank you.  Ehh what's up Docs? This is my first time giving the recap since A Whole Lot Of Trouble In Time.  Anyway here is the story. Shadow Master -- you know, that big bad guy from "Double Dragon" -- is planning to take over the archive by changing everyone into his Shadow Slaves.  Blob was spared because he has other jobs.  Well I guess that is where we are at.  See ya.
Okay, let's start the story.
(, who was running from the archive, has been advised to seek out the BattleToads to solve his problem)
Now where can I find the BattleToads?
Look no farther.
Because you found us.
So you better prepare for trouble...
And make it double.
We are here to protect the world from devastation!
And .....
ENOUGH WITH THE PARODIES ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh. Sorry.
BattleToads, I need your help.
Well what do you want, little Blob dude?
Well, the Shadow Master is trying to take over BOTVGH by turning everyone into his Shadow Slaves.  And I need your help to defeat him.
Lead the way and we will BEAT THEM UP!
( and the BattleToads head over to the Archive)
Ahh, Blob... so you have returned. Now you will become a shadow slave.
No thanks, Shadow Master.  I have brought some backup.
Yeah. So surrender now.
Or prepare to fight.
I said enough with the parodies.
That's enough. Billy, Jimmy, attack!
(The Shadow Double Dragons appear)
Now you will die.
Lets see what you've got.
They asked for it.
Should we show them what we got?
Crowd voices: Yeah!!
I SAID SHOULD WE SHOW THEM WHAT WE GOT?
Crowd voices: YEAH!!!!!!!!!
Then let's do it!
(The BattleToads fight the Shadow Double Dragons in a wrestling-type match)
(Bell rings)
Commentator: AND IT IS RASH PUNCHING SHADOW BILLY!! WAIT, HERE COMES SHADOW JIMMY FROM BEHIND-- OHHHH, AND JIMMY JUST GOT A BIG BOOT FROM PIMPLE, AND RITZ JUST SMASHED THE DRAGONS' HEADS TOGETHER!! YOU KNOW THAT'S GOTTA HURT!  THE TOADS ARE GOING FOR THE PIN... BUT WAIT THERE'S NO REFEREE!
Ha ha ha. You will never win!
(Suddenly Kamek  comes in his referee's costume ())
One....Two....Three!
Announcer: Here are your winners, THE BATTLETOADS!!
WHAT!!! How could this be?! That caped turtle is not even on the cast list!
You better expect the unexpected, Shadow Master!
Speaking of which...
Huh????
(Smoke fills the room)
Prepare for trouble!
Make it double!
To protect the world from devastation!
To unite all peoples within our nation!
To denounce the evils of truth and love.....
To extend our reach to the stars above.......
Jessie!
James!
Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!
Surrender now, or prepare to fight!
Meowth, that's right!
Who are these guys?  I don't see them on the cast list either.
We're here for legal reasons. We got an e-mail from some "Mr. R.E.G." that the copyright on our slogan was broken by a "Mr. Shadow Master".
Hey I thought it was......
Shhhhhhh!
What? I did no such thing.
Well, we have video evidence.
Meowth...?
( rolls the projector)
Now where can I find the Shadow Master?

Look no farther. Because you found me. So you better prepare for trouble and make it double. I'm here to protect the world from devastation.
(Static)
No thanks BattleToads.  I have brought some backup.

Yeah. So surrender now. Or prepare to fight.
(More static)

(Tape stops)
I DID NOT SAY SUCH THINGS!!!!!!
Videotape doesn't lie.
And it says in the Team Rocket rules that you will have to come and talk to our boss.
So come with us...
(Team Rocket ties up the very confused  and leaves)
Well, what do you know. That R.E.G. guy forged the tape to make us look like Shadow Master.
Neat eh?
Uhhhh... What happened?
Yeah, we feel like we have had our heads banged together...
Well actually, I di......
Shhhh. Don't say that. You want to break our friendship?
Don't worry guys, everything is all right now.
I guess if the Double Dragons are cured, the other BOTVGH characters are normal again as well.
I love happy endings.
LET'S PARTY!!!!!!!!
