Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Heroes in a half shell, turtle power Here we go, it's the lean, green ninja team On the scene, cool teens doing ninja things So extreme, out the sewer like laser beams Get rocked with the shell shock pizza kings Can't stop these radical dudes The secret of the ooze made the chosen few Emerge from the shadows to make their move The good guys win and the bad guys lose [growling]

[metal blades sing]

Leonardo's the leader in blue Does anything it takes to get his ninjas through Donatello is the fellow has a way with machines Raphael's got the most attitude on the team Michelangelo, he's one of a kind And you know just where to find him when it's party time Master Splinter taught them every single skill they need To be one lean mean green incredible team Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Heroes in a half shell turtle power [yelling]

Father! No! Everybody move! [growls]

[grunts]

[doors clank shut]

[w*apon powers up]

[g*nf*re]

He he has to be alive, right? I don't sense him at all.

Maybe maybe he's unconscious.

That drop is at least a thousand feet down.

Even he couldn't survive a fall like that.

So what do we do? We take them all down.

For Splinter! [exciting music]

[roars]

- Hee-hee.

- Huh? Ah-hahs! You should have runs when you had chance! Now I will be doing all the squishings! No way, dog, we talked about this.

I want to blast 'em! Nyet, comrade Bebop.

I like the squishings.

Is fun! You always do the blastings.

Yeah, but guys, if you squish us, you won't get the secret information.

What you mean, secret information? There's some things you don't know about us.

We have salmonella! - What? - That's nasty! You Turtles are being nasty gross.

Off me, salmonella sucker! Watch the skull! Cowabunga! [grunting]

Again with these guys? [swords clashing]

[swords clashing]

[gasps]

[both grunting]

[growls]

Yah! [groans]

[grunting]

- [screams]

- Hurry, Leo! Move! Where are you going? Oh, snap.

[all grunting]

[train horn blares]

[train rumbles]

Everyone can relax.

Casey Jones is here.

So what's the deal? Why'd I get, like, 127 emergency texts? The pizza delivery guy disappear? No.

Splinter disappeared.

He he fell down that huge chasm in the Undercity.

Whoa.

That's deep, yo.

I've definitely lost my mental connection with Splinter.

But that doesn't mean he's gone.

We can't give up hope.

That's right.

Splinter is still alive.

He he has to be.

Right, guys? Right? We're going back.

We'll search every inch of that hole if we have to.

We'll find Master Splinter.

And we'll stop anything that gets in our way.

[suspenseful music]

[grunting]

Master Shredder.

You survived! Is Splinter gone? Perhaps.

But he is a resilient old rat.

[screams]

- Help me! - Huh? Must get more mutagen.

Your hand! Tread carefully, Master.

We warned you the mutagen was unstable.

If we give you more of the serum Do not lecture me, old friend.

Send Zeck and Steranko to search every inch of the chasm.

We must be sure Splinter is gone.

[rousing music]

Wait, dudes.

How come the B team has to do this mission? Because we're gonna guard you from the Super Shredder.

Unless you'd like to switch jobs.

Spelunking, it is.

So if Shredder is still alive, and his g*ons show up We'll be ready.

For Sensei.

all: For Sensei! [eerie music]

[rat squeaking]

[groaning]

[yells]

My leg! [panting]

[groans]

[fabric ripping]

[panting]

[screams]

[sighs]

Wake up, Splinter.

You must not slip back into sleep.

Rats must be alert at all times.

I can help you, old friend.

Who are you? Show yourself! You sent me here.

And now, you join me in the darkness.

Two similar, misbegotten creatures.

Hamato Yoshi, Splinter.

And I, your lord.

Your master.

Your rat king! [laughs]

[laughs]

You? But I sent you plunging into darkness.

How could you have survived? You survived, did you not? Then why are you still here? Why did you not escape? There is no escape.

We are both trapped like rats.

But here, in the darkness, you belong to me.

Never! [laughs]

You only weaken yourself trying to fight me.

You can never leave this place.

Look at you.

How can you climb with such a broken and feverish body? [dark music]

[bones crunch]

[screams]

[laughs]

[panting]

I'll stay here on look-out.

The rest of you, hurry up.

Master Splinter needs you.

We'll stay with you, Leo.

You need us.

If Shredder survived, you can't take him alone.

Well, thanks for your vote of confidence.

No way, dog, I'm not climbing down there, either! Come on, we're doin' rock, paper, scissors.

One, two, three.

Ha! Paper beats rock, son! [laughs]

But paper no good against rock! Rock destroy paper! Dummy, paper wraps around a rock like this! Do I got to keep explaining it to you? So where did Splinter jump? This way? What you do that for? The Turtles are looking for Splinter.

So we wait here, let them do all the work for us, and haul up Splinter's body! - Tight! - Very tight.

[shimmering tones]

Sweet! Grapple harness time.

We have to take it slow, Mikey.

The walls are crumbling, so be careful.

You got me? Be care-ful.

I always am, D.

Booyakasha! Whoo-hoo! Mikey! Whoa, dude! This cave goes on for, like, ever! Take it slow, Mikey.

Master Splinter's down there.

Somewhere.

[groans]

My head.

Must have fever.

You are weak.

You need water.

And food.

Your body craves sustenance.

Where could it be? [rat squeaking]

No.

I will not.

So noble.

You think that makes you more than a beast? Spend enough time with me here, and you will see you are nothing but an animal.

An animal who must do whatever he can to survive.

I hope they're okay.

It's awfully quiet down there.

And awfully boring! I wish something crazy would happen.

[grunts]

Ow! Whoa! Raph, someone's out there.

[grunts]

- Aah! - [growls]

You jerks, you hit me in my piggy snout! Bebop and Rocksteady? [dramatic music]

Now, you will bring us furry rat man ninja or we will break you like dancer! No, no, breakdancing ain't got nothing to do with aw, forget it.

Take 'em down, G! [roars]

Look out! Hee-hee! [grunts]

Master Splinter? Hello? Quiet, Mikey! If Super Shredder survived that fall Sorry, D, but how else are we gonna find him? There are tons of caves down here.

He could be anywhere.

[electricity crackling]

[growls]

They're coming.

They'll be here any minute.

There's no way we'll be able to keep them from the Undercity.

We bait them to the surface.

No, we take them down on the surface.

We finish them both.

[gasps]

Here they come! Master Shredder.

Karai! Time to move! [grunts]

I want the Turtle.

You can destroy the girl.

Save me Karai.

[laser sh*ts]

[all grunting]

[growls]

[screams]

[roars]

I've got your punk butt now! Shamone, shamone, shamone, shamone! [laughs]

Hee! Hoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo! [groans]

Once upon a time, you were a man.

And then you became a beast.

Now, you are nothing.

A void.

A shadow.

Embrace the darkness, Hamato Yoshi.

To embrace it is to become a monster such as you.

Leave me.

If you will not join me, then you will be devoured! [laughs]

[rats squeaking]

[laughs]

[gasps]

[growls]

[roars]

No.

[grunting]

Did we lose 'em? Um, I don't think so.

[gasps]

Look out! [growls]

[groaning]

No! [both grunting and shouting]

[sword unsheathes]

Hah! [both grunting]

[swords clashing]

You're coming with me, girl! [growls]

[electricity crackles]

[groans]

[heavy footsteps]

This is gonna hurt.

[yelling]

[groans]

[people screaming]

[groans]

Good-bye, Turtle.

[groans]

[screams]

[roars]

[laughs]

[roars]

Splinter, it would be easier to accept my dominion.

[growls]

[laughs]

Become one with me, Hamato Yoshi.

It will only cost you your soul.

[whimpers]

[growls]

[groans]

[roars]

Yes! This is what you are! A monster! A freak! An animal! [laughs]

[roars]

[screams]

Shredder! Let him go, freak.

[grunts]

[groans]

Do not disrespect me, daughter! [dramatic music]

[thudding]

What? [shimmering tones]

[growls]

[grunts]

[whimpers]

Ha! I just need to find a soft spot, monster! [grunts]

[grunting and shouting]

[growls]

That's it, Turtle scum.

Now you get the horn! [yells]

[groans]

Hey, rock head! This way! Look at me, I'm waiting for you! Waiting for my horn up your [yelps]

[screams]

[groaning]

[grunting]

Ah, yeah! Casey Jones wins in overtime! [rats squeaking]

[hisses]

[growls]

You cannot rid yourself of me.

I will be with you always.

In the darkest parts of your mind.

I am your teacher.

I am your master! [rats squeaking]

[laughs]

[screams]

[roars]

- [screams]

- [laughs]

[screams]

It is a cake! What's the, uh, frosting made of? You don't want to know.

Happy Mutation Day! all: Happy Mutation Day! Hmm? Tell us the story, Master Splinter.

[echoing]

Shen! [grunts]

[roars]

[grunts]

[yells]

[grunting]

[screams]

What? It was all hallucination.

My fever.

Nothing more.

Perhaps a teacher, but never my master.

Now I will crush the life out of all of you.

[grunts]

[screams]

[gasps]

[struggling]

Leo! Stop! Don't do this! You can do something good for once, Saki! Something without malice.

Without the need for revenge.

Karai.

I I never meant to hurt you.

Please.

Call me father.

Not Saki.

You were never my father! [both grunting and shouting]

[groaning]

No! Not now.

Not now! [yells]

No! [tires screeching]

Come, Master! Hurry! We can't let them escape! [groans]

Karai, Leo's in no shape.

We need to get him back to the Lair.

[engine revving]

[tires screeching]

You're right.

Next time.

[poignant music]

[groaning]

Master Splinter! - My - [gasps]

My sons! - Sensei! - Phew! Thank you, great pizza maker in the sky! Whoo-hoo-hoo! I have never been happier to see such smiling faces.

[sighs]

Stockman! I need a stronger dose! No.

I will not allow this! It will destroy you! [groaning]

Do it.

Do it now! [button chimes]

[grunting]

[laughs]
