MAN [ON TV]: Channel 6 is back on the air

and we need your help to catch the criminals

who destroyed our station:

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Call our toll free Turtle tipline.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, guys, what's the plan?

The plan is to get inside that building.

APRIL: The Hall of Science from the Old World's Fair?

That freaked-out alien Berserko was using it as his headquarters

And now we think Shredder and Krang have moved in.

If they're in there we're gonna get them.

And I'll get it all on tape

and prove to the world that

Shredder's the real menace, not you four.

Hey, I'm picking up strong energy readings

coming from the pavilion.

Somebody's in there all right.

Yeah, but is it Krang and Shred-Head?

Only one way to find out.

[♪♪♪]

Suddenly I don't feel very lucky.

[ALL CRY OUT]

Look out. Look out.

Snap it up Bebop, we got turtles.

[SNORTS] Armed and ready.

Heads up you crummy turtles.

[BOTH CRY OUT]

[LAUGHS, SNORTS] Boy, is this gizmo ever great.

Try ducking this one stinking Shellbacks.

What on earth is that thing?

[TIRES SCREECH]

Oh, just what those goons needed: A new toy.

I say we take it away from them.

And I'm way ahead of you.

[♪♪♪]

Cowabunga!

Whoa!

[CRIES OUT]

Whoa, short trip.

Ah, we're wasting our time.

Let's just get inside the building.

Bebop, load the shield thingy.

Face it, Leonardo, it ain't happening.

Ah, we better clear out before one of us catches a laser beam.

APRIL: I got it all on tape.

But I don't think it's going to convince Burne of anything.

So now what?

LEONARDO: We head home to figure out

a way of getting inside that place.

KRANG: What are you worrying about, Shredder?

We just beat the Turtles.

Yes, but sooner or later they'll find a way past our defenses.

Don't be so sure about that.

Thanks, to the equipment Berserko left behind,

I'm about to restore communication with Dimension X.

We'll have the Technodrome in our command once more.

And I say we must stop the Turtles.

Before they stop us.

I'm going to seek out an old friend of mine

in the sewers.

KRANG: General Traag, it is I.

Lord Krang, thank Zorg you were not captured.

That's the only thing that hasn't happened to me.

But what about the Technodrome?

TRAAG: Bad news, sire.

When the Technodrome was blown back into Dimension X.

It fell into a black hole.

The intense gravity has kept it trapped here.

And all of us inside it.

Not even Beserko's resources would be sufficient

to free the Technodrome from a black hole.

We have the dimensional portal if there is anything here

that could be of use to you, my lord.

In all the time it was stranded on Earth,

I stripped the Technodrome's armaments clean.

But there is one very special weapon

I've not yet used:

The Shock Wave.

The Shock Wave?

But-- But--

It is your personal weapon.

The ability to use it proves that you alone

are supreme warlord of Dimension X.

And I can't use it without a body. I know.

But this Shock Wave can give me supremacy

over this miserable world.

Even if I have to allow Shredder to use it.

Oh, very well, my lord.

I shall make the preparations.

SHREDDER: All these weapons are yours

if you will do as I ask.

This hardware will make me master of the sewers.

But not master of the city above.

That can be arranged.

We've been working on a new mutagen.

It can make your pets invincible.

Then I want it.

All in good time.

First, complete this task.

Those turtles have been fouling up these sewers

for too long now.

It'll be a pleasure putting them out of the way.

[LAUGHING]

TRAAG: The Shock Wave.

All is in readiness, Lord Krang.

Then send it over to me.

[TIRES SCREECH]

[SIRENS WAIL]

Nobody touch it.

Send for the bomb squad.

Well, where is it?

I don't know.

The portal acted strangely.

The intense gravity of the black hole

must have pulled it off course.

[GROANS]

I'm going to have to send

those two lame brains after it.

Bebop. Rocksteady.

Get in here.

Oh, we're never gonna get past all that firepower.

Well, maybe we could figure out a way

to get into it from underneath.

Like, guys, check it out.

Coming up tonight,

don't miss Channel 6's hard hitting expose

on the city's worst criminals:

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

That does it.

I'm gonna have a little chat with Burne and Vernon.

I-- I hate to say it but

they almost have a point.

Are you nuts?

Well, i-if we'd gotten there a little earlier

maybe we could've saved Channel 6.

Maser Splinter got there plenty early

and he couldn't save it.

Yeah, but think about it guys

why does Shredder cause so much trouble?

Because he's an insane megalomaniac

who wants to take over the world?

No. Because he's after us.

Maybe Burne's right, guys.

Maybe we are part of the problem.

[♪♪♪]

MICHELANGELO: Dudes, speaking of problems.

Looks like we got a serious-o rat problem.

You don't suppose--?

[LASER GUN FIRES]

All right, turtles,

prepare to face

the wrath of the Rat King.

This is it, turtles.

I'm flushing you out of these sewers.

[PANTS] Didn't he used to be a scruffy wacked-out dude.

Yeah, only now he's a lot less scruffy.

And a lot better armed.

He's gonna wreck the lair.

Then let's show him the door.

[GRUNTING]

You foul reptiles won't stop me.

Try this.

I think I liked that jerk better

when he was just playing with his rats.

Or maybe not.

This has gone far enough, rat face.

It will never end.

We rats thrive on chaos and destruction.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[LAUGHS] There's no place in this world

for miserable freaks like you.

[ALL CRY OUT]

Hang on, dudes, this is gonna be one wild ride.

Yes, so much for them.

Now, to collect my reward

and become master of the city.

Ah, Krang, I think the authorities got your gizmo.

KRANG: The Shock Wave leaves a distinct energy trail.

Keep tracking it.

It doesn't make sense.

How can we get beaten by a major loon like the Rat King.

Guys, maybe we're loosing our touch.

And if we can't cut it as heroes

then Burne's right.

We are part of the problem.

[♪♪♪]

So we got caught with our shells down.

We've still got the juice.

Oh, I find that hard to believe

considering we just got stomped by a guy

who thinks he's a rat.

Man, what a bunch of bring downs.

APRIL: Burne you can't air this expose on the Turtles.

It's wrong.

I'm still running this station, April O'Neil.

And I can air anything I want to.

If you run that piece, I'll do whatever it takes

to prove you wrong.

And if you so much as think about filing a story

on those turtles,

I'll bounce you down to the mailroom.

Fine. I'll do my own expose.

Telling the truth about the Turtles

and just you try and stop me.

Ooh, whoever let reporters

into the news business anyway?

KRANG: I can't turn my back on you for a second, Shredder.

How could you give our valuable weaponry

to a lunatic like the Rat King?

He's changed.

He'll take care of the Turtles all right.

Hey, Krang, I think we found your gadget.

Excellent.

Eh, not so excellent.

It's inside the Westmore Research Center.

That place is like a fortress.

We tried to storm it once and couldn't put a dent in it.

I must get this Shock Wave back.

It is mine by divine right.

The Turtles are out of the way, Shredder.

Now, give me the reward you promised.

Shredder, a reward?

The, ah, new, ah, mutagen, but--

Krang, that's it.

We can't get inside that research facility

but rats can chew through anything.

KRANG: Especially if they got a boost from the new mutagen.

You, human, get me six of your sturdiest rodents.

Shredder, prepare the mutagen.

We will commence the procedure at once.

Guys, I just saw the Rat King

walk right into the Hall of Science.

He's probably working for Shredder.

I'd say that was a safe guess.

Well, aren't you gonna do something about it?

Ah, look, April, we've already been beaten

by both those goons tonight.

What chance do we have if they've teamed up?

I don't believe this.

What's gotten into you guys?

I think the technical term is: The agony of defeat.

Well, I'm staying on this story

whether you show up or not.

My wards, I've had quite enough

of your poor attitude.

But, Sensei, as long as we keep losing

we're making things worse for the city.

Just like Burne said.

If you believe the ill others speak of you

then you have lost before you begin.

Winning is nothing.

Doing your best and acting with honor

are the only things that matter.

And if you will not fight this menace,

I will.

But Master Splinter doesn't stand a chance alone.

And the Rat King could put him under his telepathic power.

Wait, Sensei,

we can't let you do this.

We'll take up the battle

no matter how bad the odds.

I only hope you can find your faith

in yourselves again, my students.

The mutation was an even greater success

than I'd hoped.

APRIL: Here they come.

And here we are.

Guys, I knew you'd show up.

Suddenly I wish we hadn't.

Come, my pets.

[GROWLING]

Whoa, giant mutant rats.

The Turtles.

Destroy them, my beauties.

Oh, man, how come there is never

an exterminator around when you need one?

Destroy them, my pets.

Yes, destroy.

April, clear out of here.

No way.

Then stay on Krang and Shredder.

[GRUNTS]

Oh, man.

Whoa.

Okay, cheese breath,

I'm taking you down.

On the other hand--

Get back, you dirty rat.

Oh, this isn't working.

They're too big for us to stop.

What we need is a better mouse trap.

Or at least a bigger one.

Let's try to trap them in one of those old buildings.

Yeah, it's worth a shot.

Come on.

[♪♪♪]

We did it.

Through the basement.

Come on.

Well done, my loyal servants.

Come, we must get to that research facility

before the humans discover the secrets of the Shock Wave.

The guys said to follow them.

Oh, I hope they're all right.

Who goes there?

Friend or foe?

We ain't no friends, bub.

[BOTH CRY OUT]

Now, my faithful subjects,

chew through this wall.

Oh, in a few minutes we'll have the Shock Wave back.

A weapon which can level mountains.

Well, it's official.

We're three time losers.

DONATELLO: Ah, let's face it guys,

there's no way we're gonna stop those goons.

RAPHAEL: Yeah, maybe we should just pack it in

and let the humans take a crack at them.

MAN [ON TV]: And who is responsible for these disasters?

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

What did he say?

Oh, yes, ever since these arch-criminals

were first seen on our streets

an endless series of calamites have struck.

Here's proof of the mutant thieves driving

one of their vehicles of destruction.

They must be stopped.

They are the enemies of law and order in this city.

He can't say that about us and get away with it.

We'll show him who the real enemy is.

April, did you follow Shredder?

They're all at the Westmore Research Center.

And they're using the giant rats

to chew their way into the building.

We're gonna catch Shredder and his goons

and make Vernon eat his words.

Oh, but what about the giant rats?

Think, Donatello, how do you suppose they got that big?

Well, some sort of mutation, I suppose.

And what do we have that undoes mutations?

Shredder's RetroMutagen Ray.

So let's get busy.

All right.

LEONARDO: The Turtles are back on line.

ALL: Turtle power!

[♪♪♪]

The design is almost otherworldly

I-- I can't imagine what it does.

[RUMBLING]

MAN: Oh, what's going on?

SHREDDER: Clear out of here, all of you.

[GROWLING]

There it is, Shredder.

The Shock Wave.

With it, we shall bring this city to its knees.

After that we-- You pathetic fools.

What do you think you're doing?

That's my personal weapon.

Not anymore.

You thought I was just some rat-obessed crackpot

you could use to your own advantage.

But now, my rats and I will rid the city of you vermin

and take over.

Shredder, how could you have made an alliance

with that maniac--?

SHREDDER: Retreat.

They went in there.

What the heck?

So you've come back for more, have you?

[ALL CRY OUT]

Finish them off, my pets,

while I go to deal with the humans infesting this town.

[GROWLING]

Donatello, the RetroMutagen Ray.

I dropped it.

Well, you better do something before we all become rat food.

[GRUNTING] I can't reach it.

Come on, dude, are we heroes or zeroes?

We're...

heroes.

Ha-ha, that cut them down to size.

The Rat King went that way.

Now, to find out how powerful this device really is.

[LAUGHING]

There's nothing it can't shatter.

Did you see that?

Rat poison. Yes, this is perfect.

For centuries the humans have tried to destroy us,

but we rats are survivors.

And now the tables have turned.

I'll unleash this pesticide

and rid this city of humans.

He's gonna exterminate the whole city.

And we'll never stop him as long as he has that force ray.

Remember Master Splinter's teaching:

All that matters is doing your best.

And I've got an idea.

Try and keep him distracted.

Now, we rats will rule.

Not so fast cheddar-brain.

You disgusting reptiles.

Don't you ever give up?

Argh.

Never, dude.

You're the one who's finished, cheese breath.

RAPHAEL: Rat face. Look out behind you.

Huh? No. No!

Yes.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Not even your furry friends will be able to chew through this,

Rat King.

And I got it all on tape.

Oh, yeah, and by the way, rats don't rule.

Turtles rule!

ALL: Go Green Machine.

These foul, smelly reptiles

will stop at nothing

in their plans for world conquest.

Cue that up.

Phil, hit me with Camera 2.

This is April O'Neal with a late breaking story.

Less than 30 minutes ago

the notorious Rat King was captured

by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

This is proof that the Turtles are the city's real heroes.

Oh, Miss O'Neil, get down to the mailroom.

Go. Go. Go

Poor April.

Getting dumped on our account.

Oh, she'll be back.

Burne hardly has any reporters left.

And the main thing is, ha, we're back to our old selves.

You said it, dude.

As long as we believe in ourselves we can't lose.

Yeah, even if Shredder does keep getting away.

But with your newfound determination, my wards,

it is only a matter of time

before you stop Shredder for good.

[♪♪♪]
