Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Season 3

[Splinter attacks the turtles and throws them around the lair]

Splinter:
You are losing your fighting edge, my turtles. Were it Shredder who attacked you, he would not be so lenient.

Raphael:
Aw, come on, Master Splinter, we already sent chrome-dome and Krang to the Earth's core.

Michelangelo:
Yeah, right. Those dudes are totally dusted.

Splinter:
Without positive proof, it would be unwise to assume that Shredder and Krang have been vanquished. Beyond that, may I remind you that you are still crime fighters, and that the streets of this city are still filled with crime. I suggest doing each ninja exercise twice. You obviously need the practice.

Leonardo:
Well, you heard Master Splinter. Let's do it!

Leonardo:
Let's get him!

Turtles:
Turtle power!

Michelangelo:
Cowabunga!

Irma:
Please, April. Just one little cookie.

April:
Forget it, Irma.

Irma:
Ooh, oh, look. My favorite flavor of ice cream. Mm.

Irma:
Thank you, turtles. I feel like such an overgrown klutz.

Leonardo:
Now, Irma, it's not that bad.

Irma:
Yes, it is. I'll never be normal again.

Michelangelo:
Aw, lighten up, Irma. It's no biggie.

Irma:
No biggie?! (cries)

Raphael:
Oh, nice work, Michelangelo. You and your big mouth.

Irma:
Big mouth!? Waah!

Donatello:
Hey! Cut it out! I just had my shell turtle-waxed.

Irma:
And I used to think it would be fun to be tall!

Raphael:
No, Irma, don't!

Irma:
Oops! I did it again.

April:
What's going on?!

Irma:
OHH!! Men are such beasts! [sobs]

April O'Neil:
[pauses] Is it Eliot, the new fella you just met?

Irma:
Don't never mention his name again! His idea of a double date was showing up with another girlfriend!

Bebop:
Say bye-bye ratso. Yaah!

Bebop:
Huh, did you hear that?

Rocksteady:
Hey. What's up? He's actually nice to you.

Mr. Thompson:
[pauses; opens the door] April, Irma, get in here!

Both:
Yes sir, Mr. Thompson? Coming!

Leonardo:
[screams] It's Grybyx.

April & Irma:
Grybyx?

Splinter:
Get up, Donatello? Get up! Donatello, get up!

April:
[covers you mouth Irma] No Irma, don't say it.

April:
That's Michelangelo.

Leonardo:
That cake was Michelangelo surprise birthday tomorrow.

Irma:
Oops, sorry.

Irma:
Icky things? Oh, yuck! I just remembered a nail apartment back in the city. Ciao!

Donatello:
The chocolate chip pizza.

Michelangelo:
Chocolate chip pizza?!

April:
Okay, Irma! Let's roll!

Irma:
So, what did you find out?

April:
I think Burne’s exaggerating. I didn't see a single rat. [Rats chew holes in the tires on the news van] I'm entitled to my opinion. You don't have to hiss at me.

Irma:
Who's hissing? I agree with you. Oh, no! Two flat tires.

April:
Make that four flat tires.

Raphael:
Hey, Donatello, I thought you fixed this.

Donatello:
Whoa! I did, and now it's fixing us!

Leonardo:
I'll handle this!

Raphael:
This beats everything. Now what are we gonna have for dinner?

Leonardo:
Surrender, Shredder.

Shredder:
Say cheese, shellback. [grabs Rat King's pizza]

Rat King:
Give me back my pizza! [Shredder throws the pizza at Leonardo's head]

Leonardo:
I've been pizza-faced. Ooh, crunchy.

Splinter:
Look. Squid.

Turtles:
No! Squid! Gangway! I'm out of here!

Irma:
Yes, April, I like it-- [hiccups] Oops!

Leonardo:
Did you hiccup?!

April:
Not a chance, Shredder!

Shredder:
As your wish.

Michelangelo:
Oh, no. This disaster city. I can't look!?

Raphael, Michelangelo & Leonardo:
Three sailors?

Irma:
You're gonna problem with that?!

Leonardo:
It's so nice of you to look after us while we're sick, April. By the way, this soup is cold. Could you warm it up again?

Raphael:
April, can I have a glass of water?

Donatello:
Could you get me another blanket?

Michelangelo:
Tell me a story.

April:
Ah, for a bunch of heroes on the half shell, they can be real babies!

Leonardo:
What is it?

Donatello:
He looks like a giant turtle.

Splinter:
Be careful, my students. You are pitted against a superior fighting machine.

Raphael:
That doesn't scare us.

Metalhead:
I am Metalhead. I crush turtles.

Raphael:
Now, that scares us.

Raphael:
Oh, no. Not again! I'm beginning to hate that invention.

Donatello:
That might be a clue. It looks like someone tracked it in. If we knew what it is and where it came from, we'd know where took Irma.

Irma:
Oh boy! You've come to rescue me! Now I can go on my date.

Turtles:
Shh! Quiet.

Shredder:
The turtles! Get them!

Raphael:
Perhaps in the sewers to the pizza--

Rocksteady:
We do now!

April:
It's Rocksteady. Go, Irma and Turtles! GO!

Rocksteady:
[grabs Irma] Gotcha! I gonna to ties the ropes!

Bebop:
Let's go!

April:
[Irma shrieks] Irma! [Irma: Let me go!!] Get back here with my Irma! You pay for this! [gasps] They've escaped!

Tiffany:
Escaped?!

Turtle Terminator:
Go Turtles. Zap go turtles!

Mr. Thompson:
Yikes! It's Turtle Terminator!

All:
Here we are! Over here! Hey, android!

Donatello:
Hey, Michelangelo, how about a pizza with the works?

Michelangelo:
Pizza? No way, dude. I crave pizza no more.

Leonardo:
Amazing.

Donatello:
Astonishing.

Raphael:
Not bad. Maybe now it's safe to order out for some pizzas.

Shredder:
No need, dudes. I brought back some takeout. So, like, let's get down and pig out.

Leonardo:
It's Shredder!

Shredder:
Where!? Where!?

Raphael:
Psst! Yo, April.

April:
Turtles, what are you doing here?

Shredder:
Hey, babe! What's going down in this here town?

April:
[gasps] I don't believe it. That's Shred-

Leonardo:
[covers April's mouth] Whatever you do, don't say his name. I'll explain later.

Tiffany:
[camera clicks] Say, "cheese!"

Irma, Vernon, April O'Neil, Mr. Thompson:
Cheese!

Donatello:
Wow, way to go, Wolfman.

Prime Leader Zanramon:
(Narrating) We have fought long and hard in the war against our hated enemies, the Federation. Precious Triceraton blood has been spilt. Our glorious homeworld damaged in battle. But through our bravery and strength of arms, we forced the mighty Federation into retreat. And very soon, we shall strike at them in force and bathe ourselves in the sweet nectar of victory.

Triceratons:
VICTORY! VICTORY! VICTORY!

Prime Leader Zanramon:
(Narrating) Our path to triumph is clear: We must recapture this Fugitoid who holds in its circuitry the mind of Professor Honeycutt. His teleportal device will provide us with the means to crush the Federation and rule the universe once and for all. The Fugitoid and his allies used the teleportal to escape us last time. But we have tracked the teleportal's transonic particle trail to the farthest corner of the T-17 galaxy to an insignificant watery green-blue planet. Even if we must tear the pitiful world apart piece by piece, the Fugitoid will be ours. Begin the countdown. TO VICTORY!!!

Triceratons:
VICTORY! VICTORY! VICTORY!

Triceraton Reporter:
News from the front: The tiny back water planet called Earth has become the latest beach head for the glorious Triceraton Republic in our war against the evil forces of the Federation. Our courageous troops are on the verge of recapturing the Fugitoid robot whose plans for a teleportal device will win us the war against the Federation scum. Our forces conquered this silly little planet with ease. The homo sapiens never knew what hit 'em as our boys started their search for the rogue robot. Let's see that bucket of bolts avoid capture from this multitude. And if those foolish Earth primates think they can help the Fugitoid, think again, puny mammals. With our energy around the Earth, the Fugitoid won't be escaping anytime soon. The four terrapin monsters that helped the traitorous Fugitoid escape have dared to show themselves. Big mistake. We captured one and he's shaking in his shell. You tell us where the Fugitoid is hiding and our boys will be home for Horn Sharpening Day. And that's you news from the front.

Michelangelo:
(Narrating) Today's forecast, hardly cloudy with a possible chance of... ALIEN INVASION! That's right, our old pals, the Triceratons, decided to pay a little visit to planet Earth. The nasty hornheads came halfway across the universe for just one thing: Professor Honeycutt, a.k.a. the Fugitoid. Remember him? He hitched a ride back to Earth with us on our transmat, WHOOSH, across the galaxy, but he left months ago and the Triceratons are tearing up the planet, looking for him. We tried to stop them, but they managed to capture Donatello. So we...ahem... borrowed a ship and headed for the Triceraton homeworld and it looks like nothing's gonna stop us from rescuing Donny. Well, except maybe, a bunch of ticked off Triceratons.

Karai:
Master, what do we do?

Shredder:
Nothing. We wait.

Karai:
For what?

Shredder:
For whatever opportunity presents itself.

Professor Honeycutt:
(Narrating) A message from Professor Honeycutt to the Utrom High Council : My dear friends, by the time you receive this, I shall be gone. This morning, a sub-space fueling device, planted on the Earth, alerted me to the planet's imminent fate. As you know, both the Triceratons and the Federation want the plans for the Teleportal device, so that they may use it to further their war of annihilation against each other. They will destroy the Earth in their hunt for me. I have calculated and recalculated the probabilities and there is only one sure solution: I must erase all information pertaining to the Teleportal and then surrender myself to the enemy. I know the risks are high and there is a 95.6% certainty that I will not return, but I beseech you, do not try to stop me. For it is as they say: Greater Love has no robot than this. That he must lay down his RAM for his friends.

Leonardo:
(Narrating) Do you know what "irony" is? Irony is when you finally convince the Triceratons who invaded your planet to pack up and leave because the Fugitoid they're so desperately searching for is not on Earth, only to have the Fugitoid actually show up on Earth. Irony is when the very same energy scan that Don used to prove the Fugitoid wasn't on Earth is now used by the Triceratons to track down the Fugitoid. And finally, irony is when having succeeded in eluding your deadly alien pursuers, you find yourself surrounded by a bunch of heavily armed goons. And doesn't look like you're gonna make it out alive.

Agent Bishop:
Voice Identification: Agent Bishop. Log 493 – Zeta.

Computer Voice:
Voice Sample Confirmed

Agent Bishop:
(Narrating) After successfully containing them, the Fugitoid and the four mutant Turtle creatures that seem to protect it were effectively neutralized. At approximately 0300 this morning, the captives were secured by my troops and taken to a top secret US Military Base. There, I handed the Fugitoid over to General Blanque to do with as he pleased, while I prepared the mutant Turtles for dissection in my genetics laboratory. There, I will unlock the secrets of the Turtles' mutant DNA to create an army of genetic super-soldiers. Yet, my work is not been without its snags. The Turtles' allies have released them and another mutant known only as Leatherhead. However, they have just discovered there is more to me than meets the eye. Their defeat, recapture, and dissection is expected momentarily. Bishop Out.

Raphael:
(Narrating) There's an old saying that goes something like, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." You'd think that after the city had been torn to pieces by warring aliens from outer space, maybe people would be a little more open-minded about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles living in their own back yard. Think again.

Thug #1:
Over here! That freaky alien! He's over here!

Thug #2:
Let's tear him to pieces!

Raphael:
(Narrating) Ain't it nice to see that some things never change?

Leatherhead:
(Narrating) We spend all our lives building walls, in order to keep us safe. But the walls do not work when the enemy is within. When you are defenseless, the enemy shows himself and he is a monster. It is our fate that the thing we fear the most is the thing we carry deep within ourself.

Michelangelo:
Leatherhead, wake up. [Leatherhead shoves Michelangelo into the wall, lifts Michelangelo up in the air] Leatherhead, wait. It’s me, Mikey! [Leatherhead slams Michelangelo onto the floor]

Donatello:
(Narrating) Warning: the stunts you are about to witness are done by professional maniacs. Do not attempt this yourself. Do not stand up in an open vehicle traveling at speeds upwards of 90 miles per hour. If an eighteen-wheeler driven by a crazed wacko is trying to run you off the road, do not continue to agitate said crazed wacko! And, most importantly, do not attempt to disarm a thermo-nuclear device in the back of aforementioned eighteen-wheeler... that is, unless you want to kiss your shell goodbye!

Nobody:
(Narrating) [After stopping the bank robbers] Who am I? I might just be a glimmer of hope for a lost city. I'm the kind of guy cops would thank if they knew I existed. But they don't. Who am I? I'm Nobody.

Felon:
Who-who are you? Who are you, man?!

Narrator:
Who am I? I might just be a glimmer of hope for a lost city. I'm the guy the cops would thank if they knew I existed, but they don't. Who am I? I'm Nobody.

Michelangelo:
(Narrating) 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the town, Turtle Santa drove like crazy to not let the kids down. Instead of a sleigh, a truck full of toys, destined to be the presents for good girls and boys. But evil thieves wanted to steal the toys at all costs. Poor, poor Turtle Santa, all hope was lost.

Casey Jones:
[while setting the table with April and looks up] Yo, what do you know? Mistletoe. Ain't we supposed to kiss or something?

April O'Neil:
That's enough mistletoe to make me kiss you. I'm afraid you'll need a whole tree. [They move to another part of the table and Casey looks up again]

Casey:
Hey, hey, check it out. More mistletoe! [puckers his lips and April walks away] April, wait up! [the mistletoe moves over to April] More mistletoe. There's no way out. You gotta kiss me. [April backs up; Casey and the mistletoe move forward; April goes around Casey, the mistletoe follows her] Look, it's following us. It's a sign. A sign from above.

April:
[taking down the mistletoe] Exactly. [she and Casey look at a pole with Raph and Angel sitting on top of it with ropes that extend over to April and Casey]

Raph:
[grins and waving] Hiya, April. Whatcha got there, mistletoe? (chuckles)

April:
Jones, did you put them up to this?

Casey:
No! Never! Uh, maybe.

April:
[after a moment] Okay then. Pucker up. [Casey leans forward and April hits him with the mistletoe]

Angel:
Ooh. That's gotta hurt.

Raph:
Oh. Right in the kisser.

Donatello:
(Narrating) Ever get the feeling that things are not exactly what they seem? Take this Triceraton tri-base. It seems to be a space invader but it's really just another casualty, still lying around from the recent alien attack. Then there's Oroku Saki a.k.a. The Shredder. He seems to be using his fortune to rebuild New York. But he's really more interest in cleaning all this leftover alien technology for himself. Lastly, these eight foot tall Amazons. They seem to want to slice us into itty, bitty turtle pieces. Okay, they really do want to slice us into itty, bitty turtle pieces.

Dr. Chaplin:
I give you...the Footbots!

Karai:
Do I detect a resemblance?

Dr. Chaplin:
They're a tribute to you. You don't mind, do you? It's because you're so perfect.

Leonardo:
No! They fight like Karai.

Donatello:
You mean Karai trained these Footbots?

Leo:
I don't know.

The Shredder:
[on cellphone] Karai, what about the Turtles!? Have they been captured, destroyed?

Karai:
No, my lord. I'm afraid they... got away.

Michelangelo:
What, she couldn't give us a lift?

Raphael:
Shut up and swim!

Donatello:
(Narrating) The city has a life all its own, especially at night. Sometimes it's quiet — too quiet. But you don't notice. Maybe you should. Because in the darkness, when you're all alone, you never know what could be lurking around the next corner, or even at your own backdoor! And you always think nothing bad is ever gonna happen to you, so you have to ask yourself "Are you ready?" Well, are you?

Leonardo:
(Narrating) Fear. We face it everyday of our lives. Sometimes, fear can be a friend who fights by your side, making your reflexes quicker, senses sharper. Other times, fear is a liar, confusing you until you can't believe your own eyes. But the very worst fear: that's the fear that destroys all hope. And I'm afraid that my worst fear has just come true.

News Anchor Dwight:
And now to our continuing coverage of the floating Beijing Crisis. Its been several months since the invading Triceratons lifted the entire Chinese capital into the stratosphere. The atmospheric shield that surrounds the city has been proven impenetrable. The city is kept aloft by a huge Triceraton anti-gravity generator. And while efforts by Beijing's top scientific minds to gain control of this alien technology have been undertaken, the results have proven near disastrous.

Scientist:
Must reverse energy flow.

News Anchor Dwight:
With no way in, no way out, and no way down, there seems to be no way to save the poor people of Beijing.

Karai:
But, Master, what about the millions of innocence who will fall when Beijing comes crashing to the ground?

The Shredder:
They are of no concern to me.

Hun:
How dare you question the master. I'm behind this plan one hundred percent.

Shredder:
Good. Then you will have no trouble accompanying Stockman on this dangerous assignment.

Karai:
And so the gravity will be lifted, sending millions to their doom. I need you to prevent this from happening.

Leonardo:
So does this mean you finally come to your senses and turn your back on the Shredder?

Karai:
I am bound to serve him. I just do not wish to see millions suffer.

Leonardo:
They think you're dead. We can help you start a new life.

Karai:
Could you so easily turn your back on your father, even if you knew what he was doing was wrong?

High Mage:
(Narrating) For thousands of years, we have awaited this day: the complete planetary alignment of our solar system. And with these celestial events, the spark of power within the long dormant crystals has been renewed. There are those who fear this alignment will provoke untold disasters upon the Earth. Yet it is not the planetary alignment the humans race should fear; it is what the alignment has awakened.

Renet:
(Narrating) Being an apprentice timestress in the 79th level of Null Time can kind of get boring. But, since I swiped my boss's Time Scepter, its been like totally rad. I hooked up with these cute little green bald guys. They call themselves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which is kinda catchy, you know. And right now, I'm really glad these little green guys are tagging along because it looks like this day is gonna get crazier and crazier. Or worse.

Hun:
(Narrating) I have served the Shredder most of my life. I have been his most loyal soldier, but lately, I have failed him. Too many things have gone wrong on my watch. But tonight, my master has given me one last chance to redeem myself. He knows I would gladly give my life for him. Well, maybe not gladly.

Karai:
Interesting trap.

Agent Bishop:
Actually. This is the trap. Just a little more savaged from our alien visitors. Cuts through anything. Makes your katana look like a butter knife.

The Shredder:
Who are? How did you get on this frequency?

Agent Bishop:
Mr. Oroku Saki, my name is Bishop. And I believe you know my guest.

Shredder:
Karai!

Bishop:
I know many things about you.

Shredder:
Believe me, Mr. Bishop. You know nothing about me.

Bishop:
Please. It's my business to know. I know that you are part of a crime lord who is using his vast fortunate as a cover to obtain rare alien technology. I know you have sent this lovely warrior-princess, your adopted daughter, to steal an alien microchip. And I know that if you don't deliver all the technology you own in the next 47 minutes, your feisty family member here is going to be flattened into a french fly. 43 minutes.

The Shredder:
Hun, I have a special assignment for you.

Hun:
Master, I will not fail you. I promise.

Shredder:
Karai has been captured. You will find her and bring her back alive. Is something the matter, Hun!?

Hun:
No, Master.

Shredder:
This is where Karai's last coordinates originated. Remember, Hun. Your life now depends on her life!!

Hun:
Karai! As much as I would love to see you destroyed...unfortunately, my life now depends on saving yours.

Leonardo:
Karai? We're getting her out!

Raphael:
Leo!

Leo:
Raph, she's done the same for us! We're getting her out!!

Donatello:
Wow. This train is unlike any I have ever seen.

Karai:
Time is of the essence, Donatello.

Don:
Right. Leo, I need you to hit the top ring... now!!

Karai:
Thank you.

Leonardo:
Well, at least she said thanks.

Karai:
My lord, thank you for sending Hun. He saved my life.

Hun:
I live to serve you, Master.

The Shredder:
Very well. You live as long as you succeed. Karai, were you able to retrieve the microchip?

Karai:
No, my lord. But I have received the schematics. We shall be able to construct a prototype of our own.

Michelangelo:
(Narrating) You are not gonna believe this one! I'm in a world where the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are Teenage Mutant Super Turtles! You heard me, Super Turtles! And I get to be a superhero. All right, more like a teen sidekick. But I'm beginning to get the idea that the one really bad thing about being a superhero is that you always have to fight super villans.

Raphael:
(Narrating) Get this, I am racing pro-bike. The thing is, this ain't no Shell-Cycle. It's a Planet Racer, and these babies are so high octane they require two riders. The other thing is, these ain't your average racetracks. It's a hostile alien world with some unusual obstacles. When you race as a planet racer, winning is one thing, surviving is another.

Karai:
Attention servants of the Shredder, your Lord and Master will now address you.

The Shredder:
For those of you who are still living under the illusion that you will have freedom, know this: My armies have exterminated the last pockets of resistance and I now control the entire planet. The traitorous Utrom scientists I have captured are completing a colossal transmat device. With it, I will send forth my armies and enslave the stars, one world after another. There is no hope. There is only the Shredder.

Karai:
Remember, the Shredder is always watching.

Donatello:
Mikey! Your... your arm! What happened to your arm?

Future Michelangelo:
You're the one that's got some questions to answer! Where the shell have you been all these years?!

Don:
"All these years"?

Future Mikey:
You've been gone over 30 years, Donatello.

Don:
"30 years"?! It can't be!

Future Mikey:
Can be, and is! We thought you were dead... How the shell could you just abandon us like that?!

Don:
I didn't. I'd never abandon you guys. One minute we were all in the lair together, the next minute I woke up here. I don't know how.

Future Mikey:
So, the Turtle with the big brain doesn't have all the answers. Who would have thunk it?

Future Karai:
I beg you. Leave this place or you will force me to do that which my duty commands.

Future Leonardo:
Not this time, Karai! This time you have to make a choice! [blasted by Footbots and gravely wounded, which Karai reluctantly takes advantage of to run him through with her katana]

Future Karai:
Forgive, Leonardo.

Future April O'Neil:
Karai, end of the line. [shoots her with her missile launcher]

Future Karai:
Master, I am finished.

Donatello:
My brothers. My poor brothers. This world, this future... it's a nightmare.

Future April O'Neil:
It was a nightmare, Don, but you managed to finally save us from this darkness. There is always hope.

Leonardo:
(Narrating) In the past 24 hours, I've been attacked by enemies I thought were long gone and found myself transported to a strange new world with no clue how I got there and no clue to get back and I have no idea what's become of the rest of my family. To top this perfect day off, the only ally I have in this whole mess is about to be executed. Do you think normal people ever have days like this?

Leonardo:
(Narrating) When did enemies coming back from the great beyond become the rule instead of the exception? My family and I were enjoying some well-deserved down time when we were attacked by an old foe thought to be long gone. There was blinding flash of light and I found myself in a strange new world with no clue how I got there and no way to get back. But at least I had a friend. Now with Usagi's help, I hope to reach the Battle Nexus and ask the Damiyo to use his War Staff to save my family. I know it sounds like a long shot, but right now, it's the only shot I have.

Michelangelo:
(Narrating) Donnie's always telling me how great science is, how awesome technology can be and granted some of its pretty good. Like video games and microwave popcorn, that's very cool. But I've also seen a lot of old horror movies. You know the kind. Where some completely whacked out mad scientist decides to play God. Crazos like Agent Bishop here. They take the potential of science and they twist it and contort it and push it way too far and innocent people always wind up getting hurt.

Mortu:
Master Hamato Yoshi, premiere guardian of the Utroms... we honor you for your exemplary services.

Hamato Yoshi:
I swear that I will never fail to protect the good and noble Utroms! ...Even if it costs me my life...

[The scene switches to the past, where Shredder is about to finish off Hamato Yoshi]

Hamato Yoshi:
He... who lives without honor... will end... without honor...

The Shredder:
Bah, I will finish you myself!

[Shredder kills Hamato Yoshi]

Shredder:
Now nothing will save the Utroms from my wrath! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!

[Preview to a possible future as the Foot Mechs invade the Utrom homeworld. The scene switches to an ice asteroid, as Splinter sees his master Hamato Yoshi, and he looks down to find himself in a Guardian's uniform]

Master Splinter:
(speaking successively in Japanese and English) I understand.

[The scene switches back to the Turtles' lair]

Splinter:
I will not fail you, my master... my father...

Karai:
Congratulations. Tonight will be your last night on Earth.

Orku Saki:
Finally! After centuries of being imprisoned on this primitive backwater, I shall return to the stars! When my Utrom enemies come to find me, I will be gone!

Karai:
And what of me, Father?

Orku Saki:
Karai, my time here was not a total loss. I have forged a powerful dynasty with the Foot. And I have raised a daughter to rule that dynasty until my return. You will serve me as you have always served me: Faithfully and without question.

Karai:
Leonardo, you must not do this! He is finally leaving our world. You must let him go!

Leonardo:
Let him go to go and enslave the Utroms!?

Karai:
The Utroms have hunted my father all his life. They are heartless monsters!

Leo:
No, Karai. That's not true. He's the heartless monster and I'm gonna stop him!

Karai:
Leonardo, no!!

The Shredder:
(Narrating) For almost a millennia, I have been marooned on this pitiful mudball, but I have spent my time well... I have built my empire, with one goal in mind: revenge. All that time I have plotted to cross the universe and finally conquer the hated Utrom homeworld. And... worlds beyond. But there are those who would stop me, such as Agent Bishop, and the accursed turtles... and their rat master. But now, my starcruiser is complete.

Karai:
The Shredder and I are leaving

Shredder:
(Narrating) I say, "Let my enemies come". Today, I return to the stars, and the Shredder will not be stopped!

Leonardo:
We have to jump for it!

Raphael:
Come on!

Karai:
My master was leaving! It did not have to be this way! [nearly falls, but Leonardo saves her by catching her hand] You are too kind, Leonardo. Much too kind!

[About to finish off a gravely wounded Leo]

The Shredder:
Now we end this! [prevented from throwing the final blow by Karai]

Karai:
You have defeated them, my Lord. Leave them in their dishonor.

The Shredder:
Karai, you dishonor me!! [punches her, causing her to fall backward]

Karai:
This is not what I wanted, Leonardo! This is not what I wanted!!

Space Invaders:
This is two-part Season 3 premiere.

April:
I'll never forget the night we left New York City. The Kraang defeated us, Leo got badly hurt, Master Splinter is...gone. We lost. We had nowhere left to go, so we came to old farmhouse I grew up in, miles away from the city; a place we could all be safe in. The first thing we did was take care of poor Leonardo. Raphael keeps a constant visual over Leo, waiting for him to wake up. Michelangelo goofs around a lot, but he does a ton of chores around the house. But mostly he goofs around a lot. Donatello built a lab in the barn, trying to create a mutagentic medicine to heal Leo. And then there's me, April O'Neil. I spend most of my time training with the Turtles, and writing in my ever-expanding journal. I miss New York, my sensei, my dad. Hopefully Leo will recover and we can all go home soon, if there's even a home to go back to. But life, as Master Splinter would say, must continue on.

Donnie:
[making an antidote for Leo] One last drop and I think I've done it. [the antidote blows up in his face] Aah!

Casey:
[laughs at Donnie, then gets under the truck to fix it] This baby's gonna need a lot of work.

[The truck falls and crushes Casey underneath. Donnie, finding this hilarious, mocks his laughter.]

Mikey:
But, what Master Splinter would say, "We must accept the hand that the universe has dealt us."

Casey:
Wow. That is deep, yo.

Raph:
Master Splinter's gone, Mikey. And Leo may never wake up. The universe dealt us a terrible hand.

Mikey:
”You turned my brother into a plant? You turned him into a plant!!! Let me go Creep,I’ll bash the mutagen straight out of you!

Raph:
[in bathroom]"Guys, guys get in here!"

Donnie:
"Leo?"

Leo:
(has awoken)"heh...hey guys."

Mikey:
"Leo it's you!

Leo:
(grunts and weak voice) "That hurts."

Bigfoot:
(To Raph) Make waste

(opens the door to see the toilet clean and it sparkles but turns head and sees the tub all stinky and cover with flies)

Raph:
(close the door fast) AHHHH! (leans on the door and pants hard and got pissed) BIGFOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

April:
You're not just a mutant, Donnie. You're my mutant.

(Warmly kisses him on the lips)

Donnie:
I understand ... nothing.

April:
Here, Mom. (Gives her a cup of hot tea)

Mrs. O'Neil:
Thank you, April. I'm still a little shaky. I know this is hard to believe, but, the Kraang ship has been here for years. It was your great-grandfather who discovered it. He made the mistake of awakening the Kraang. They paid him back by experimenting on him, and his entire bloodline. They knew we were the key to unlocking their precious mutagen. We were their Guinea pigs.

Michelangelo:
Aw. Guinea pigs are so cute.

Raphael:
I told you not to be stupid, you moron!

Mrs. O'Neil:
After you were born, it was clear you were very special. We knew it was only a matter of time before the Kraang came for you. We escaped. Kirby fled with you to the city, but I was recaptured and put into stasis.

April:
All these years. I never knew what happened to you. I didn't know what to think. Dad would never tell me.

Mrs. O'Neil:
Now you know. And now we never have to be apart again. Where is Kirby anyway?

Casey:
Oh, he got turned into a freaky Kraang-headed mu-

Raphael:
You had to pull a Mikey didn't ya?

Leonardo:
He's just kidding, Mrs. O'Neil. Kirby's on a...safari in Puerto Rico. He won't be back for a while.

Mrs. O'Neil:
I'm just so glad to have my April back.

Casey:
April, you okay?

April:
Yeah. It just feels like I lost my family all over again, even it really wasn't my mom. Maybe...maybe she is gone forever. But maybe she's still out there...somewhere.

Leonardo:
You can't give up hope. Trust me on that.

Michelangelo:
And you haven't lost your family 'cause we are your family.

Casey:
Are they sick?

April:
No, but I sense they're getting weaker, like something is draining the life out of them.

Casey:
That Bernie guy asked if we'd been feeling tired.

April:
And that book he had. Somnioruim- it's Latin for "dreams" or "of the dreams."

Casey:
I'm gonna see what's in that book. You do what you can here.

Dave:
I like chocolate chip cookies.

Dread, Dire and Dark:
SHUT UP, DAVE!

Donatello:
Wait. Did April kiss me back there?

Casey:
Dream on, Donnie. Dream on.

Michelangelo:
Is that a tiara? I love tiaras.

Donatello:
It's not a tiara. It's a psychic neural transmitter.

Michelangelo:
Whoa, that was gonna be my second guess.

April:
Donnie salvaged it from the Kraang ship. He's gonna use it to test my psychic powers.

Michelangelo:
Cool.

Leonardo:
April, you’re-...you're blind?

April:
Not exactly. Somehow I got a psychic connection to the monster. Maybe from Donnie's neurotransmitter? I'm seeing through its eyes. I know where it's taking them. And-.

April:
Uh oh. I know why it took them too. I feel really hungry. Like Mikey hungry.

Donnie:
Remember, it's not just physical strength that breaks the wood. It's also inner strength.

April:
I got this.

Michelangelo:
Are you...a ghost?

Splinter:
My spirit has become detached from my body but that body still lives.

Leonardo:
You're alive? Where are you, sensei? Let us help you.

Splinter:
You cannot yet. There are things you must overcome. If you cannot find your inner spiritual strength, you will not stand a chance against the Shredder.

Leonardo:
But, Master Splinter, my leg injury- it's physical. Until I heal...

Splinter:
We choose what holds us back and what moves us forward. You will all learn this. Each of you must journey out alone to face your spiritual adversary. Raphael, your temper is like a fire that you must learn to focus for power. Michelangelo, your mind is overrun with distractions. Learn to be strong and calm like the forest. Donatello, you rely too much on your mind and not on your body. Be strong like the mountain. Leonardo, you must be the leader in body and spirit. Be like the wind. Let nothing weigh you down. Sleep now, my sons. For your greatest trial awaits on the spiritual plane. For the challenges you face there will be just as dangerous as you face in the real world. Be warned.

(About Splinter's troubled state of mind)

April:
There's got to be a way to reach him.

Casey:
Red, remember the time when you reached the guys through their dreams? Maybe you could the same for Splinter. You know, like mind meld and stuff.

Donatello:
Based on my research on telepathy, it might be possible.

Raphael:
Father?

Leonardo:
Sensei.

Splinter:
My sons.

Michelangelo:
You're back.

Donatello:
I can't believe it.

Splinter:
How I have missed you, my sons. And the rest of my family.

Casey:
Just don't try and eat my face anymore.

(Glances at his black-and-white picture of his former human self, Tang Shen and little Miwa)

Splinter:
Home for me will never be complete without my daughter.

Leo:
The longer she's out there alone, the more she risks losing her humanity.

Mikey:
We can help her. We just have to keep looking.

Raph:
For all we know, Shredder or the Kraang have her.

Splinter:
No. I saw her only a few days ago, roaming the streets at night, but I was not in my right mind. I could not help her.

Michelangelo:
It's okay, Karai. It's me, Mikey- your brother.

Leonardo:
Karai, remember us. We're your friends. Remember who you are.

Donatello:
She's becoming more snake-like by the hour. She doesn't understand, Leo.

Leonardo:
She understands, Donnie. You're changing, Karai. We want to help you.

Snake Karai:
Leo.

(Manages to revert between her human and snake forms)

Michelangelo:
Whoa.

Karai:
Help me. Pleassse.

Leonardo:
Come back with us. Karai.

Snake Karai:
No. Too dangerousss.

Leo:
Karai's still out there. The last thing she said to me was the word "comet."

Casey:
So what's that mean? A giant comet's coming? The Earth's doomed?

April:
Seems like it could be a location. Maybe where she's hiding out.

Leo:
Karai. I know you're here, come out. You don’t have to be afraid anymore.

(Karai comes out of hiding)

Leo:
We can help you- with this.

(Sprays the retro-mutagen on Karai, but nothing happens)

Leo:
It doesn’t work. Donnie?!

Donnie:
I told you, Leo. Karai is special. She's not a normal mutant.

Raph:
It was all for nothing?

Leo:
It doesn’t matter. You can come home with us, Karai. We'll take care of you, I promise.

Snake Karai:
No. Too dangerous. My mind is going...

Leo:
Then...then why did you want us to find you?

Snake Karai:
Wanted...to say...goodbye to all of you.

(Disappears into the water)

Leo:
No! Karai! We’ll figure out a way to help you, Karai. I promise.

Mikey:
Hmm, I do believe this plutonium should react flawlessly with the sodium bicarbonates. What do you think, Professor Ice Cream Kitty? Perhaps we should add this hyperbole solution to Donnie's Retro-Mutagen.

Donnie:
[sees Mikey] Mikey... HAVE YOU LOST YOUR SHELL?!?!?!

Mikey:
[in a British accent] Pish-posh and tut-tut, my good man!

Don:
Are you kidding!? You do one awesome thing and you can't even remember how you did it!!?

Splinter:
Donatello, be glad that Michelangelo's tomfoolery yielded the gift that it did. You must find all the humans and turn them back.

Raphael:
We don't even know where they are.

April:
I think I do. They were taken to Dimension X by the Kraang. I see them in my dreams. Millions of people, trapped there.

Mikey:
Leatherhead!

Raph:
Pigeon Pete?

Donnie:
Dr. Rockwell?

Dr. Rockwell:
Yes. The Kraang experimented on me, giving me psychic powers, and accidentally returning my vast intellect in the process.

(blows raspberry at Donnie, saying how he's smarter)

Slash:
Rockwell's the brains of team.

Kraang Sub-Prime:
Going to my home turf!? Forget about it!

Sub-Prime:
Here's Kraang-y!

Hun:
Everything is here, Shredder. From mixing vats, chemicals- You name it.

Shredder:
You have done well to bring this factory to my attention, Hun. It will be adequate for my plans.

Hun:
I have one request. Since this factory is on Dragon territory, perhaps I should be in charge.

Shredder:
So be it. Success is to be rewarded as failure is to be punished.

Donatello:
Oh my gosh. Guys, this is even worse then I thought. Shredder's mixture- it's not an explosive.

Raphael:
So what is it?

Donatello:
I think he's working on a mind-control serum. If it works, he could use it on Karai or us or every single person in New York City.

Rocksteady:
Is not grocery list! Is chemicals to make ultimate mind-control serum for snake-girl Karai.

Splinter:
How could you all be so careless!? Secrecy is the most important rule of the ninja, and you have broken it! You four are forbidden from leaving the lair!

Raphael:
What!? You can't hold that sloppy escape against us! We got slimed with toxic puke!

Splinter:
Silence!

Donatello:
But, Sensei, if that pile of muck took us down, you know he's dangerous.

Leonardo:
Which means we need to be out there looking for him.

Splinter:
No! Until I decide I can trust you to watch yourselves, you will remain here, grounded!

Michelangelo:
Oh, yeah. Crognard marathon.

Splinter:
[Throws his staff at the television set] And no TV!

Stockman-Fly:
All is in readiness, my master. This is the last of the component I needed that will give you complete control over her.

Shredder:
Before you give it to Karai, test it on the Mighty Mutanimals.

Stockman-Fly:
Yes, master. In case there are any unexpected side effects.

Leonardo:
Raph, do it! End this!

Donatello:
What's he waiting for?

Shredder:
Raphael is mine now to control, as are your other mutant friends.

Leonardo:
[Leonardo and April are doing practice] Hang out? We're practicing our katas. Wanna jump in?

Michelangelo:
Nuh?

[Cut to Raphael playing action figures in his bedroom, Michelangelo walks by]

Michelangelo:
Huh?

Raphael [angrily]:
Mikey! Get Out! Out! [He throws a action figure in Mikey’s face]

Michelangelo:
Nuh?

[Cut to Donatello busy typing a keyboard for retro mutagen for Karai in his lab]

Donatello:
I'm too busy to hang out, Mikey. I'm still looking for a retro mutagen for Karai. You see, if I can reverse engineer the main chemical sequence, I think I can ignite the kind of reaction needed to re-write The deoxyribonucleic acid of-

Michelangelo:
[groans]

Casey:
Dude, there's something about Mondo I don't trust, for real.

Casey:
I don't wanna say "I told you so" about Mondo! Oh, wait! I totally wanna say "I told you so!"

Mikey:
Oh no! Oh no! I think he's been bit! You're gonna have to suck the poison out, Brah!

Raph:
I'm not sucking the poison out! I'm driving! You suck it!

Mikey:
But I think the bite's on his butt! That's gross, dude!

Raph:
Just do it, already!!

Splinter:
You should be enjoying your victory. You did a great thing today, Leonardo. You saved everyone.

Leo:
Not everyone. I tried to get Karai out of Shredder's control. I failed, sensei.

Splinter:
We saved her once, Leonardo. Perhaps we can save her again. And now you show great gifts as a healer. Being at the edge of your life, led you to unleash a power that few martial artists can tap. I am proud of you, my son.

Raph:
Give it up, Leo. It's been weeks since we last saw her. When she poisoned us!

Donnie:
Yeah, Leo. If I can't find an antidote, we might have to let Karai go.

Leo:
It's not that easy, Donnie. You should know.

Mikey:
You're still hung up on April. Just a guess.

Leo:
Sometimes you don't have a choice. You think about someone...a lot.

Mikey:
Dudes, I'm never gonna have a crush on a girl! This Turtle is dedicated to one thing only: Ninja-ING!

Renet:
Whoa! The leader, Leonardo, the inventor Donatello, the warrior Raphael, and the cute one Michelangelo. I finally found you- the Turtle warriors of legend. This is groggin' cold!

Raph:
Us? Legends? What are you talking abut? No one even knows we exist.

Renet:
Nobody knows...yet. But I come from the future, and you're like...wow. you guy are like so famous.

Donnie:
Wait a second. You say you're from the future and we're important enough to be in history books?

Renet:
Yes. You saved the world many times.

Donnie:
Awesome! High three!

Tang Shen:
I was raised in Fukuoka but my grandfather is Chinese. I moved here to be closer to Yoshi. I've heard yokai are always hungry. That's why I made a meal all kapas love.

Leo:
Kapa? What's a kapa?

Tang Shen:
Turtle yokai. And your favorite food is cucumber. At least that's what the legend says.

Mikey:
Cucumber? Little know fact: Our favorite food is pizza. Hook a turtle up.

Tang Shen:
My grandmother told a story about a kapa who appeared as a young girl was fetching water. The kapa terrified her, but the girl always brought cucumbers with her to ward off yokai. The kapa was so thankful, it told of a great hurricane that would devastate her village. It saved her people.

Raph:
That's right! And we wanna save you, Tang Shen.

Donnie:
Which is why we kapa have come to talk. We also bring you dire news.

Leo:
You can't leave Hamato Yoshi. He's a good man. Oroku Saki is evil.

Tang Shen:
No. Saki is a good man.

Donnie:
If you choose Oroku Saki, the world itself could be at risk. Take it from us, the kapa brothers.

Tang Shen:
Yoshi is too dedicated to ninjtisu to raise a family.

Michelangelo:
That's not true. Splinter loves little Miwa. She's so cute.

Tang Shen:
I don't who I will choose. I must do what's right for my daughter.

Raphael:
Follow your heart, Shen. You know who the better man is.

Tang Shen:
Please. Let me get you some more cucumbers.

Oroku Saki:
Pathetic. I will not abide by this dishonor.

Tang Shen:
Saki.

Oroku Saki:
Shen, I ask you one last time: Make the right choice.

Tang Shen:
I have already made it.

Oroku Saki:
Hmm.

Hamato Yoshi:
Take Miwa and go, Shen.

Tang Shen:
But, Yoshi, Saki. Please- you are brothers.

Oroku Saki:
No. We were never blood!

(Watches as several mind-controlling worms are injected into Karai's brain)

Shredder:
Karai, forgive me. I never should have allowed it to go this far. I will destroy Splinter and the Turtles for causing you such suffering. Sleep now, my daughter. Your revenge is soon at hand.

Bebop:
Master Shredder

Shredder:
What is it!?

Bebop:
You called for us, sir.

Shredder:
I sense that the Turtles are about to make another move. Double security. Watch Karai at all times.

Bebop:
We are on it!

Rocksteady:
Da! Freaky turtle ninjas never get past the Bebop and Rocksteady.

Leonardo:
Sensei, we need to get one of those brain-worms. It's the only way Donnie can create a cure for Karai.

Splinter:
I appreciate the effort, but you need to know your lives are just as important to me, my sons. And because of that, no missions until Raphael's leg heals!

Splinter:
April, what's wrong?

April:
I don't know, Sensei. I sense something's wrong with Donnie. Maybe...maybe's he distracted.

Leonardo:
This is bad! We need Donnie for something like this!

Raphael:
Unfortunately, someone made him dumber than himself!

Donatello:
You know, I gotta admit, sometimes I can be hard on you and act like you're not as smart as me.

Michelangelo:
No worries, brah.

Donatello:
But now I finally understand how you feel all the time.

Michelangelo:
Thanks, Donnie. [realizes he's been insulted] Wait a sec. DONNIE!

Leonardo:
Donnie, you know how much this means to Sensei.

Donatello:
Leo, I'm trying as hard as I can.

Leonardo:
Well try harder.

Donatello:
Try harder!? I always have to find the solution! You're leader, Leo! You find the answer! Or what about Raph!?

Raphael:
I got the answer for you- Karai's a lost cause!

Michelangelo:
Don't say that, dude!

Karai:
Hello, Leonardo.

Leo:
Karai?

Karai:
Welcome to "the Courage Slayer." To save your brothers you'll have to face ninja blades as skilled as your own. Which isn't all that formidable, so I cranked up the speed to a hundred.

Donnie:
What's wrong with him? Is he sick?

Raph:
I'm starting to understand his backwards talk. His people, the Triceratons, need nitrogen to breathe.

Leo:
And the part where he calls you Commander Zorg and does everything you say?

Raph:
Well, we bonded over a mutual love of destruction.

Zog:
You fool!

Raph:
I'm sorry I lied to you, Zog! But I can't let you invade our world!

Zog:
I'll squashed you!?

(Raph jumps up making Zog hang onto the bars of the tower)

Raph:
Zog! Zog, take my hand!

(Raph reaches out his hand)

Zog:
(last words) Long live the Triceraton Empire. (Let us go and falls to his demise)

Raph:
No! NOOOOO!

Donnie:
I hate to interrupt, but someone's been following us for the last half hour or so.

April:
Weird. I don't sense anyone at all.

Donnie:
See for yourself.

April:
Bishop, why do the Triceratons hate the Kraang?

Bishop:
For millennia, the two species have fought over Dimension X. The Kraang use intelligence to battle their foe while the Triceratons rely on brute strength and cunning. It seemed the Triceratons would win, but the Kraang used the most powerful weapon in the universe, a black-hole generator that wiped out the Triceratons entire planet. Only a single Triceraton fleet survived. They vowed vengeance. The battle may have won, but the war has not. It still rages across Dimension X. Now shall we begin?

(After their beloved sensei and father figure is ruthlessly murdered by Shredder)

The Turtles:
NOOOO!!!

April (clutches her head and groans):
AGHHH!!!

(Unleashes a pale yellow wave of pure psionic energy that knocks Shredder back, out of sheer rage and grief)

Tiger Claw:
Shredder, what have you done!?

Shredder:
Hamato Yoshi is finished! The Earth can be destroyed for all I care! I have finally won!

April:
Did that just happen?

Leo:
The Earth, Splinter, everyone- everything.

Donnie:
Gone. Lost in an endless gravitational pull of singularity.

Mikey:
Holy pepperoni.

The Fugitoid:
Watching your world fall into the singularity of a back hole is rather distressing. Can I offer you some coco?

Mikey:
Dude, who are you?

The Fugitoid:
My name is Professor Zayton Honeycutt and you, my friends, are about to embark on a wondrous adventure.

Casey:
This is so METAL!!!
