And today the city welcomes emperor Allister,

ruler of Malacuria,

and his daughter, princess Mallory.

The emperor is here to sell the mining rights

to a newly discovered

in his native Malacuria.

Harder than diamond, more beautiful than gold,

Lidium 90 just may be

rhe most valuable element on earth.

This is April O'Neill, channel 6 news.

April, I thought channel 6

was supposed to report happy news.

Ohh, i'm sorry.

But when I hear about diamonds and gold,

I can only think of one thing...

an engagement ring,

which, as you can see,

I've got a severe shortage of.

We'll talk about it later, Irma.

Right now i've got to cover the party

at the malacurian embassy tonight.

You're not going like

Well, of course. What's wrong ?

You can't go to a fancy party

looking like that.

Come on, i'll have you looking like a new woman

in no time.

Why would I want to look like a new woman ?

'Cause it's the best way to find a new man.

Oh, Krang,

this cooling system you built is useless.

It's hotter than japanese horseradish in here.

And now another capacitator is down.

The Technodrome needs more power !

I think I know where we can find some.

Where ?

Lidium 90

is the most powerful source of energy

yet found on this miserable earth.

Even a fragment this small

would power the Technodrome

out of this inferno.

If it's that valuable, it will be heavily guarded.

How will we get it ?

I'll think of something. I always do.

Oh, what is that, sensei ?

It's called tekamaki... Raw tuna roll.

Have some, Michelangelo.

Major gross out. No, thanks.

A wise person embraces

as many new experiences as possible.

Master Splinter,

perhaps you'd like to try some pizza.

It's marshmallow and pepperoni.

The wise person also realizes

that some experiences

are less embraceable than others.

Talk about embraceable.

Who is that ?

Hi, guys. It's me.

Gosh, April just like a...

You look lovely.

Truly tubuloso.

Yeah, you clean up real good.

April, you make this ancient rodent

feel young again.

Thanks, guys.

You're all just a bunch of big green sweeties,

and you're the nicest rodent I know.

And now i'm off to the malacurian embassy

to cover a fancy party.

I think we should keep an eye on her.

Better yet, two.

Mondo notion, dude.

Well, what are we waiting for ?

Let's go.

Watch my shell, buddy.

Father, I will not be chauffeured about

and looked after like a child.

You are the princess of Malacuria,

and you will not leave this embassy unescorted.

Now please prepare for the masquerade.

I hate masquerades !

You always make me go as a princess.

Oh, no.

It's

Now i'll have to go home and change.

Just a moment, you !

What's going on here ?

Oh, i'm sorry, your highness.

I didn't know it was you.

But i'm not...

You should not be out here alone.

You must come with us.

It is time to dress for the masquerade.

Sure, fellas. Whatever you say.

This is a real great plan, boss.

Oh, yeah. I love this plan.

What was it again ?

The plan, you pathetic peons,

is to kidnap princess Mallory

and ransom her for the lidium 90.

If you followed my instructions,

we should be directly beneath

the embassy basement.

You cretins. This isn't the basement !

What's going on there ?

Quickly, hide the module.

Are you here for the costume ball ?

Costume ball ? What costume...

Of course we are.

You will take us there at once.

As you wish.

Nice costumes, sir...

Especially the, creatures.

Thank you. I made them myself.

Well, Donatello, what do you see ?

Shredder and his 2 freakazoids.

Guys, I think we better take a closer look.

Right, dudes. Let's scope out the action.

Oh, another princess costume.

This is so boring.

Father will be furious, But i'd rather see the city

Than a bunch Of stuffy officials

In some silly costumes.

Good evening, Your highness.

Hmm, i could get To like this.

Your highness ? Hello ?

As long as everyone Thinks i'm the princess,

I might as well Go along with it.

Maybe i can get An exclusive story out of this.

Oh, why couldn't we Stay at the party, boss ?

We're real Party animals.

They also had My favorite chow--

Shrimp puffs And cheese dip.

If you don't stop whining,

I'll dip you in something A lot less pleasant than cheese.

This is it: The princess' room.

What a time For the turtlecom.

April here. What's up ?

April, Are you all right ?

We just spotted shredder And his 2 henchmutants.

Oh, you fellas are So sweet to worry about me.

I'm in princess Mallory's room

On the trail Of a hot story--

Grab her !

With pleasure.

Let go of me, you--oh !

April ? April ?

April, answer me !

She doesn't answer. Something's wrong.

Yeah, and that something Sounds like shredder.

Ooh, that does it.

Like how ?

We're not exactly first On the guest list.

Hey, chill out, dudes.

This won't be the first Party we've crashed.

Michelangelo's right. Let's do it !

I think that's where We need to be.

Which way now ?

Hey, i smell...pizza ! That way.

Pizza ? At an embassy party ?

Hey, bud,

You can be a head honcho And still have good taste.

There's a note Of some sort.

"we have the princess.

We will trade her For your lidium 90."

Guards !

Princess mallory Has been kidnapped !

Seal all the exits.

No one leaves this embassy Until she's found.

Immediately, Your grace.

What's this ?

It looks like Some kind of turtle shell.

I'll take this. Perhaps it's a clue.

They must be sealing off The escape routes.

Blast through the floor !

Quickly !

Does this mean we don't Get no shrimp puffs ?

What A marvelous costume.

Would you Care to dance ?

Well, actually, no.

How very scintillating.

Ladies and gentlemen,

No one is to leave This embassy.

April said she was In the princess' room.

Maybe she saw Something.

Kindly cooperate By showing your invitations

And removing Your face masks.

Major problemo, Dudes.

In mallory's room.

Yeah, so much so That we think

She got kidnapped Instead of you.

Oh, no.

We must Get to the roof.

Come, we'll take The back stairs.

Make sure the exits Stay sealed.

Yes, your highness.

One of these doors Should lead to the roof,

But which one ?

Maybe it's this one.

Boo ! Got you !

You may not be the princess, But you look enough like her

To ensure our safe getaway--

If you keep that Pretty little mouth shut.

Not a chance, Shredder.

As you wish.

I sure hope That's clean.

Are we...are we Almost there ?

Yes. Just a few more steps.

Nevertheless, A deal is a deal.

You won't have to. Look.

The turtle blimp !

I thought it might Come in handy.

Great ! Let's go !

Banzai !

Fire up the turtle blimp, Donatello.

We've got to get April back.

Come in, krang. Are you there ?

Where else would i be, Out nightclubbing ?

I'm 10 miles beneath The surface of the earth !

Shredder: i have The lidium 90.

Send a module alongside The art museum.

Ha ha ! For once You've done something right.

Ho ho ! Nothing Can stop me now !

Leonardo: stop Right there, shredder !

You're too late, Turtles.

Which way Did they go ?

This way.

After 'em, fellas !

Cowabunga !

Oh, can we stop And blast them, boss ?

Huh ? Can we ? Can we ?

Yeah. They're Like sitting ducks.

There's no time.

The module is On its way.

Donatello, What's happening ?

Beats me.

Krang, what-- What happened ?

Where's the module ?

It's inside The museum.

Inside the museum ?

You fool ! You fouled up The triangulation.

So sue me.

Into the museum ! Hurry !

They're Going inside.

So are we.

Now, where's That blasted module ?

Something tells me It's there.

Hey, dudes, Sculpt this out.

Yeah, i may not Know about art,

But i know what i like.

Turtles, help !

April: help ! Over here !

It's april ! This way !

Like, how are we Going to find her ?

Yeah, there are so many Rooms in this place.

Well, looks like We're in luck.

Donatello: and shredder's Has just run out.

Oh, no ! It's those Wretched amphibians again.

Now can we Blast them, boss ?

Blast away, My moronic mutants !

Stop !

I am placing you Under house arrest.

Much as i hate to disobey A royal command...

We've got To stop them.

It's no use.

It won't budge.

Aah, watch out !

What was that ?

Krang must've flooded The tube with lava.

It looks like shredder Beat us this time.

No, he didn't.

The lidium 90 sample Is worthless.

Worthless ?

Lidium 90 Is highly unstable.

Subjecting it to pressures

Like those found 10 miles beneath the earth

Will cause it To disintegrate,

Maybe even explode.

Explode ?

Awesome concept.

How about that ?

Old tin grin got faked out.

By the way, congratulations.

Your turtle costumes won first prize.

Yeah, I guess they are kind of original.

Oh, no, not for originality,

for ridiculousness.

Here, Krang, the lidium 90.

Give it here. Give it ! Give it !

What's going on here ?

'T know, Give it here. Give it ! Give it !

But i'm not waiting to find out.

Shredder, you idiot !

I could have been blown to bits !

So sue me.

And that's how it all happened, sensei.

You have done well, my turtles.

Thank you, master Splinter.

As for you, April,

I hope this has taught you a lesson.

It certainly has.

I learned that a disguise

is a great way to get a story.

There's a convention of bald-headed diplomats

in town next week.

Maybe I could pass as one of them.

Well, what do you think ?

Paint that thing green,

and you can pass as one of us.
