Leonardo, explain to me again

why we're creeping around
in the dead of night

instead of home
in our nice damp lair.

Yeah, dude. We just blasted the
Technodrome into Dimension X.

The Technodrome may be gone

but Shredder and Krang
are still loose.

And this is the best chance
we'll ever get

to put those goons away
for good.

And I still say we have
some vacation time coming.

[♪♪♪]



Hey, guys.

Okay, April,
what did you call us for?

There's a gang of car thieves
hiding in the old warehouse

across the street.

How very original of them.

But what makes you think
they're connected

with Shredder and Krang?

Because they just robbed
a used car dealer

using some kind
of sophisticated laser beam.

Pretty high-tech
for car thieves.

Let's check it out.

[♪♪♪]

It's in perfect shape.

Just like the others.

And with this baby,
there's nothing we can't steal.

Don't go getting delusions
of grandeur, punk.

It's those miserable turtles.
Get them!

I'm gonna pry that shell
off your back, mutant.

And I'm gonna put you
in traction, bub.

Hyah.
[GRUNTS]

[ALL GROWL AND MUTTER
INDISTINCTLY]

MAN: Hey!
[ALL GRUNT]

Time to put
the skids on these goons.

MAN: Let's get out of here.
[ALL SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

MAN:
You lousy weirdo's.

I'll fry you in your shells.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTING]

Hang in there, creep.

[GRUNTING]

All right,
where's Shredder?

What's that
supposed to mean?

Uh, guys. I don't think
this laser generator

came from
Krang and Shredder.

How can you tell,
Donatello?

Well, because this label
says "Made in Taiwan."

And Shredders hardware would say
"Made in Dimension X."

What are you talking about?

I ripped that thing off
from a manufacturing plant.

Yeah, and you'll do time for it.

[POLICE SIRENS BLARING]

The cops.

Come on.
We'd better get scarce.

DONATELLO:
I hate to say it,

but we had an easier time
locating Shredder

when he had
the Technodrome.

Well, we can't
just give up now.

We've got to find him.

I agree, Leonardo.

But to catch your enemy,
you must think like him.

Consider Shredder's situation.

His first priority will be
to rebuild his resources.

And, being Shredder, he won't do
it by legal or ordinary means.

Meaning he'll reveal himself
by his actions.

Precisely.

We'll check out any
weird-sounding crimes.

MAN [ON RADIO]:
All units, major fire fight

in progress at the Maryville
research facility.

That sound weird enough
for you?

There's some wacko
in a metal mask and two freaks.

I need backup now!

It's them.

Let's rock.

[♪♪♪]

[POLICE SIRENS BLARING]
[TIRES SCREECHING]

[♪♪♪]

Uh, boss,
uh, this ain't working.

We must hold them off.

I've got to get
to some chemicals.

Okay. But our blasters are
getting awfully low on power.

Eat blazing photons, cops.

[♪♪♪]

Just the right mixture
of simple chemicals

packs quite a punch.

[CLICKING]

Uh-oh. Out of juice.

The Shredder surrenders
to no one.

OFFICER 1:
It's gonna blow.

ALL:
Come on, let's go. Go, go, go!

SHREDDER:
Let's go.

[POLICE SIRENS BLARING
DISTANTLY]

Uh, gee, boss.

[LAUGHS, SNORTS]

Well, you sure bluffed your way
out of that one.

I never bluff.

We need power
for the blasters.

And new weapons, vehicles,

a means of contacting
the Technodrome.

I've already found a solution
to our problems

right here.

Your guide
to the 1964 world's fair.

Have you completely taken leave
of your senses, Krang?

Turn to page 20.

"Visit the world of tomorrow
in the Hall of Science."

So?

So that pavilion
is still standing.

It's an abandoned ruin
that no one's gone near

in almost 30 years.

It may still contain equipment
from the old science displays.

Equipment
that we can use.

You may be onto
something, Krang.

Let's investigate this place.

Bebop, Rocksteady,

we're moving out.

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING,
SIRENS BLARING]

[♪♪♪]

Yep, looks like Shredder's
handiwork to me.

And we've gotta sneak
in there somehow.

It may contain a clue or--

Uh, dudes,

how come they boarded up
that store

but left the front door open?

Check it out. Krang prints.

Those were made by Krang's
bubble-walker, all right.

"The Hall of Science."

It's a perfect hideout
for those goons.

Come on.

Geez. It looked a lot cheerier
in the brochure.

So much the better.

No one will ever bother us here.

And who knows
what equipment it contains

for us to plunder.

[♪♪♪]

[TIRES SQUEALING]

Doing a little house-hunting,
Shredder?

The turtles.

Is there no getting rid

of you miserable shellbacks?

Bebop, blast them.

[FIZZLES]

Uh-oh.

This is it, Shred-Head.

We're gonna put you
and your cronies away

for good.

You dare to match you with me,

you pathetic freak?

[GRUNTING]

What the heck?

[♪♪♪]

You miserable Earthlings.

No one escapes from the domain
of Berzerko...

alive.

Uh, I don't know who he is

but he makes Shredder look like
a pussycat.

[♪♪♪]

You Earthlings will suffer

for invading the domain
of Berzerko.

Who is that nutball?

Forget him.
Shredder's getting away.

Got you, Krang.

Krang.

I don't believe it.

[BEEPS]

Attention, Cyber-drones,

seize the alien brain.

Unhand me, filthy mutant.

[GRUNTS]

Huh, well,
at least I'm free.

[GRUNTS]

[LAUGHS]

You can run,
puny Earthling,

but you can't hide.

Oh, brother!

LEONARDO:
Raphael.

Amigo, speak to me.

DONATELLO:
He's out cold.

We've got to get him back
to the lair.

[TIRES SQUEAL]

Run for it.

Let them get away.

I've got the prize I want.

SHREDDER:
What a minute. Where's Krang?

ROCKSTEADY:
Last time I saw him,

one of them stinking turtles
had him.

I'll force them
to give him back.

But, boss, how?

Our artillery's out of juice.

Hm. Looks like I'll have

to resort to bluffing after all.

These herbs will speed
your healing, my son.

Well, we're right back
where we started.

You mean Shredder got away?

Come on. We gotta move before
his trail gets cold again.

Raphael, you're not well enough
for this.

Whoo, you ain't kidding, sensei.

I got a headache this big

with "Shredder" written
all over it.

BERZERKO:
Well, well, well.

My old friend Krang.

We meet again.

Although, as I recall,
the last time we met

you had a body.

I've never seen you before
in my life.

Don't tell me
the mighty Krang

doesn't remember
his greatest weapons engineer.

Drakus.

You.

Yes, me.

The one who helped you design
the Technodrome.

The one you betrayed.

I am overlord of Dimension X.

And did you have to destroy
my home world as well?

I didn't want any of your pesky
relatives coming after me,

Drakus.

I am Drakus no more.

After you blasted me out
of Dimension X

I took on a new name:

Berzerko.

And a new mission:

revenge.

It was nothing personal.

I had no further use for you.

Well, I have a use for you.

Behold, the Annihilator.

KRANG:
It's a toy compared
to the Technodrome.

It may be smaller,
but it's more mobile

and it packs 20 times
the firepower.

There's just one problem:

The drive system
is malfunctioning.

And you will tell me
how to fix it.

Why should I help you?

I'll give you
one very good reason.

Will you tell me
what I need to know?

I'd rather rot in a septic tank.

Later.

But first I think
you will tell me.

When I turn up the heat.

[GROANS]

And when my Annihilator
is fully operational,

I'll crush you

and your precious Technodrome.

Will you listen to me?

The Technodrome isn't even here.

It's in Dimension X.

Don't lie to me, Krang.

Oh, I hate this job.

It's so boring.

Tie them up.

I'll get the chemicals.

That's everything we need.
Move it.

All right. All right.
I'll talk.

Turn off that heat.

First tell me how
to fix the drive system.

It's obvious.

Your transaxles
can't generate enough torque.

You need to increase
the displacement ratio

by at least 40 percent.

Pure genius, Krang.

What are you going
to do with me?

Nothing, for now.

But when my Annihilator
is operational,

I'll do plenty.

Guard him.

[LEONARDO GRUNTING]

Oh, if I can get
the van running again,

maybe we can track Shredder.

I still say we should search
the area some more.

Okay. But first
let's check with April.

[BEEPING]
Hi, guys.

Any luck finding Shredder?

Yeah. All of it bad.

We need you to keep an ear out
for any unusual crimes.

It may be our only hope
of getting a beat on him.

Come on.
We gotta keep looking.

APRIL:
Let's move, Irma.

We've got to listen
to the police band

for any unusual crimes.

CAPTAIN [OVER RADIO]:
Unit 7, investigate

of three weirdoes breaking into
a building

with a large explosive device.

One said to wearing
a chrome mask.

OFFICER:
Captain it sounds
like a prank to me.

What's the address?
CAPTAIN: Broadway and 53rd.

The Channel 6 building.

What?

Well, lookie what we found.

[SNORTS]

You can stay in there
with the rest of news trash.

The story of the year
is right under our noses

and we can't cover it.

Do they really have
an explosive device?

They certainly do.

I saw them carry it down
to the basement.

You saw them-- Why didn't
you try to stop them?

Chief, a good reporter's
not supposed

to get involved with the story.

Well, we didn't find
any good clues.

[TURTLECOM BEEPS]

SHREDDER:
Attention, miserable turtles

you know who this is.

Shredder.

SHREDDER:
I'm speaking to you
from Channel 6,

where I have just planted
a very large explosive device.

You have Krang.
I want him.

You have exactly 30 minutes
to bring him here,

or your friends at Channel 6
will be no more.

[♪♪♪]

SHREDDER [OVER TURTLECOM]:
You heard me, shellbacks.

In 30 minutes, Channel 6
will be blown to bits...

I must help April
and the others.

...unless you deliver Krang
to me.

We don't even have Krang.

Yeah. That Berzerko character
must have grabbed him.

So who cares? We've got
to get over to Channel 6

and disable that explosive.

Donatello, how much longer will
it take you to fix the van?

Oh, about 15 minutes.

Then get on it

while the rest
of us get Krang out of there.

We might need him as
a bargaining chip with Shredder.

He's more than a chip, dude.

He's the whole enchilada.

We'd better split up.

The entire building seems
to be sealed.

But a rat can find a way
into anything.

[♪♪♪]

Whoa.

Krang's modifications
are working perfectly.

In a few minutes, my Annihilator
will be ready to roll.

Oh, boy.

Time to scratch some metal.

[GUNSHOTS]

[GRUNTS]

[CRACKLING]

Oh, this is just too easy.

Hyah!

[♪♪♪]

Oh, I never thought
I'd be happy

to see your ugly green faces.

Well, don't break out
the confetti yet.

Yo, dudes,
that guy Berzerko's

building some kind
of humongous machine.

We can't worry about that now,
Michelangelo.

LEONARDO:
Got it running yet, Donatello?

DONATELLO:
No.

Oh, terrific.

DONATELLO:
I'm almost done.

Okay. It's done.

[GUNSHOTS, EXPLOSIONS]

[TIRES SCREECH]

They're getting away
with Krang.

No matter.

In a few moments, my Annihilator
will be operational,

and I can crush them all.

[POLICE SIRENS BLARING
DISTANTLY]

APRIL:
Who's there?

April, is that you?

Yes. We're all in here.

Uh, can you open the doors?

[GRUNTS]

No.

And the explosive device
is supposed to go off

in less than a minute.

I've never tried this before

but there's a first time
for everything.

[♪♪♪]

Thiry-one minutes.

For once you didn't make it
on time, turtles.

But Channel 6
is still there.

I knew he was bluffing.

I never bluff.

[EXPLOSION, LOUD RUMBLING]

It's not possible.

April, Irma.

MICHELANGELO:
Do you suppose they got out?

You miserable maggot.

Destroy them.

Let's go for a spin, creep.

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTS]

My might is too great
for you wretched teenage punks.

[ALL GRUNT]

Cowabunga, dude.

Ooh!

Tie them up good
for the police.

[LOUD RUMBLING]

It's the monster machine

I saw at
Berzerko's place.

We're gonna have
to leave them here.

That thing will demolish
the city if we don't stop it.

This will be just like breaking
into the Technodrome.

I'll blast Krang and his
Technodrome back to Dimension X.

Then this pathetic planet
will be mine for the taking.

You're the one
who's gonna get taken,

you metal-headed maniac.

No one can withstand
my firepower.

That guy
is way overaccessorized.

Let's give him a makeover
he won't forget.

[WHISTLES]
Over here.

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

[GRUNTS]

Who are you creatures, anyway?

We're the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles.

And you are finished.

Uh, guys.

The master control is fried.

We're heading straight
for the river.

Grab that goon.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

I knew it.

They got away.

Well, at least
we got this wacko.

Yeah, but what about April?

And Irma?

And even Vernon?

We'll never see them again.

APRIL:
What's the matter, guys?

Having a bad night?

TURTLES:
April!

I can't believe it.
You're alive.

What happened?

Splinter managed to get us free
at the last moment.

All right.
Way to go, sensei.

Yes. And where were you four?

Yeah. Thanks to you,
I've lost my station.

Every time that lunatic Shredder
makes trouble,

it's because of you freaks.

Well, I'll get back
on the air somehow.

And from now on

I'll let the public know
just what a menace you are!

Man, what an ingrate.

Well, do whatever
you want, Burne.

The real threat is Shredder.

You're the threat.
You're the menace to society.

You're the ones who--

Where'd they go?

Those cowards!
They ran away!

Cowards?

They captured Berzerko,
didn't they?

And besides, they'll be back.

And no matter what you say,

they'll keep on fighting
to save this city

from the forces of evil.

Especially Shredder.
