[TYPING ON KEYBOARD]

Ooh, let's see.

In 1909,
Jupiter was here,

so that means this year,
it will be--

Donatello, emergency!

What is it?
Shredder?

Close. Shredded
mozzarella.

Like in,
we're out of it.

Yeah, and we've got
a major case

of the midnight munchies.

So we picked you to go
to the store and get some.

There's a weird
planetary alignment

coming up this week.

Hey, planetary alignments
come and go,

but pizza is forever.

All right,

I'll go to
the all-night market

and pick some up,

but you've got to
come with, Raphael.

Hold it a sec.

What's up?

I had the weirdest feeling
somebody was following us.

Sure. The turtle
curfew man.

Let's take a shortcut
through this alley.

Look what we've
got here.

Little green sailors.

Give us your money,

or you'll be
sailing up the creek

without a paddle.

Good line, pal.

Who writes
your dialogue?

What the--
a couple of turtles!

Turkeys is
more like it.

Stop! I am zak,

master ninja turtle,

the scourge
of evildoers.

Heh heh!
We got us

a whole herd
of turtles.

I'll show you.

Hyah!

Oops.

Hyah!

Aah!
Aah!

Wise guy, huh?

Whoa!

Hyah!

Whoops.

Good move,
klutz.

Let's get
out of here!

Wow. You guys really
are the turtles.

I know all
about you guys.

You're Donatello
and you're Raphael.

I want to help you guys
fight crime.

I got my own junior
crime fighter kit

and my own
turtle disguise.

You're no crime fighter,
you're a menace.

And you call this
a turtle disguise?

Why don't you
go home, fella,

before you
hurt yourself.

I was only
trying to help.

Hey, maybe we were
a little hard on the guy.

I think we hurt
his feelings.

We've got more important
things to worry about.

Like what happened
to my turtlecom?

I'll show them.

I can be
a ninja turtle, too.

Will you get
on with it, krang?

All in good time,
my dear shredder.

First a little
astronomy lesson.

This is our solar system.

Here are the earth and moon
orbiting the sun.

Tomorrow, Mars here

will be in perfect
alignment with them.

Thusly--

what does all this
have to do

with the capsidium
crystals?

Very simple,
even for you.

When the planetary
conjunction occurs,

you will
place the crystals

beneath the telescope
at the planetarium.

When the light
strikes the crystals,

it will provide
enough power

to raise
the technodrome

to the surface
of the earth.

You have less
than 24 hours

to get the crystals

and seize
the planetarium.

Ciao!

One day, krang,

you'll order me around
once too often.

Then I'll leave

and you'll find yourself

without your good
right hand.

Where have you been,
little brother?

I see you're still wearing
that dumb costume.

Out looking
for turtles again?

Yeah, only this time
I found them.

Oh, yeah? Where?

Down at the pet shop?
Ha ha ha ha!

I did meet 'em.

The ninja turtles
are real,

and I'll prove it.

Oh, you do that

and I'll eat
that stupid costume.

I will prove it.

You'll see.

I wonder what this thing is.

If I give it back
to the turtles,

maybe they'll let me
join them.

Then I'll be
a ninja turtle, too.

Wow, Irma,
listen to this.

There's been
a break-in reported

at the marconi
laboratories.

Witnesses reported

seeing a wart hog
and a rhinoceros.

They must have had
a garage sale at the zoo.

That could only be
rock steady and bebop.

April to turtles,
come in, please.

Come in, turtles.

Donatello here.
What is it, April?

Wow.

It's a transmitter.

We just got a report

of a break-in
at the marconi labs.

It sounds like
shredder's involved.

Thanks, April.
We're on our way.

Right, we're on our way.

I got to fix
this thing.

I'm getting an echo.

ROCK STEADY:
[SNORTS] Gee, boss.

They've got a lot
of neat stuff in here.

BEBOP: Yeah.

Quickly. Open that safe
and get those crystals.

Sure, boss.

Not that way,
you slug.

The capsidium crystals
are very fragile.

Yeah, you got
to be more gentle.

Allow me.

Whoa!

Got them, boss.

Don't you know
it's not nice

to take things that
don't belong to you?

The turtles!

Blah! I'm gonna fry me
some turtle hash.

You will not stop me,
you mettlesome reptiles.

Get serious, dude.

They don't call this
the shredder show.

What?

Here I come!
I'll help you!

Turtle power--whaa!

I don't know
who you are,

but thanks
for interfering.

That should keep
you turtles busy.

Tough doody, squids.

It's that fake turtle.

He's in big trouble.

DONATELLO: The pendulum is
gonna crush him.

Burne is gonna love
this footage.

I'll save
the nutcase.

You stop them.

Ready or not,
here I come. Unh!

Grab onto my shell
and hang on.

Thanks, Raphael. I--

later, fella.

Come out and fight,
you weasels.

How about if I
send a friend?

Come along,
you clumsy ignoramuses.

This should prove
electrifying, turtles.

Come on!
Whoa!

What a great story.

No pictures, lady.

Give that back.
Ooh!

Yeow!

You won't be so
gutsy tomorrow night

when we
raise the techno--

quiet, you bugbrain.

Farewell, turtles.

After them!

Whoa!
Oh!

Sure. As soon as you
shut off that lightning.

I'll do it.

Excellent, April.
Just like mother nature.

They got away again.

Another turtle
adventure concluded.

Time to leave.

Hold it right there,
Mr. mock turtle.

Hi, guys.

That's the second time

you've gotten
in our way.

I was just
trying to help.

Hey, he's only
a microdude.

I'm almost 14,
and my name is zak.

You really messed things
up back there, zak.

I didn't mean to.

I think you guys
are the greatest.

I want to be
a ninja turtle fighter

just like you.

Get real, kid.

Nobody wants to be
a mutant turtle.

Well, you wouldn't want
to be me either.

Meanwhile, shredder
and his weirdoes got away.

I've got news for you,

so has our
mystery turtle.

The kid's gone.

Uh, how did he know
we were here?

There's only one way--

because he's
got my turtlecom.

There's something more important
to worry about.

Like why rock steady said

they were raising
the technodrome tomorrow.

Ecch!

There's something sticky
on the floor of the van.

Michelangelo!

Hey, don't look at me.

I haven't eaten pizza in it
for a whole month.

Now for my ultraviolet
glasses.

Let's see if that special paint
I put in their van works.

All right!

I expect some gratitude

for accomplishing
our mission, krang.

Your stupid mutants

almost destroyed
the crystals,

then they told
the turtles our plan,

and you
want gratitude? Ha!

Why is it whenever
they do something wrong,

they're my stupid
mutants.

Never mind that.

The turtles will
soon figure out

where phase 2
of our plan takes place,

and they will
try to stop us.

And you,
my dear shredder,

must see
that they fail.

I am sure that the theft
of the capsidium crystals

has something to do

with raising
the technodrome.

Oh, for sure.
But what?

That's it.
Those crystals

can turn the right
kind of light

into incredible energy.

Of course.
Tomorrow's the 10th.

Don't tell me,
it's krang's birthday

and the crystals
are a present.

No, tomorrow's the conjunction

of the earth, moon, and Mars.

It makes a light
that could provide

the energy krang needs

to raise
the technodrome.

[CLANGING]

What was that?

Someone outside the lair.

Hyah!

You again?

Zak, how'd you
find us?

I tracked you

with my junior
detective kit.

Welcome, my son.
I am splinter.

It's a pleasure
to meet one

who can point out
how careless

my students
have become.

Wow! Are you a real
live ninja master?

You should feel humbled
that one so young

has done what many older
and wiser could not--

found our lair.

Um, I sort of got something
that belongs to you.

My turtlecom.

I wanted to show you guys
a neat trick with it.

I hook up a Mike from
my junior detective kit,

and watch what happens.

[High-pitched sound]

Isn't it neat?

Yes...Neat.

Argh, great.
Now, turn it off.

[TONE STOPS]

Zak, would you like to
have a tour of the place?

Would I!

Here. Scarf this.

It's hot fudge
and anchovy pizza.

Uh, if I eat this,

do I become a turtle?

No, but you'll
definitely turn green.

Yaii! Hyah!

Wow! That's awesome.

What's this experiment?

I'm trying to find
a container

that Michelangelo's
pizza sauce

won't dissolve.

Thanks for everything,
turtles.

I'll never forget this.

You must promise

never to endanger
yourself again

by trying to help us.

I promise,
master splinter.

[SNORTS] What movie
do we get to watch?

I hope it's a cartoon.

Now, this is the part

where that brat
interrupted things.

Aha. It appears
he thinks he's a turtle.

I might just
use that fact.

Ahem. Hello,
police department.

I found a lost bicycle
I'd like to return.

The license is 70131.

Why, thank you, officer.

Go to this address
and seize the boy.

[RATTLING]

Ah. Hunh.

[YAWNS] What?

It's those bad guys
from the lab.

I better hide.

Ohh!
Ohh!

Shh.
Shh.

The kid ain't here.

Maybe he's hiding
in the closet.

No, nothing in there

but a bunch
of stupid toys.

It don't matter.

Once we get them crystals
set up at the planetarium

no turtles are gonna stop us.

And when they do come,

we'll be waiting.

They're setting a trap
for the turtles.

I got to warn them.

Oh, but I promised splinter
I wouldn't get mixed up in this.

But they're my friends,

and us turtles
have to stick together.

KRANG: I hope this teaches
you a lesson, shredder.

Never send a mutant
to do a human's job.

The boy is unnecessary.

We can complete
the plan without him.

Just to make certain,

I'm sending foot soldiers
to accompany you.

The technodrome
will rise.

Once it does,

I shall rule earth
with an iron fist.

Any luck figuring out
what shredder's up to,

Donatello?

Not yet.

Oh, bummer news,
buds.

I just got off
the horn with April.

No sign of shredder
anywhere.

The planetary conjunction
will occur within the hour.

Ok, here's the scoop.

Now, shredder's
got to be somewhere

that he can focus a lot
of that planetary light

on the crystals,

preferably near
a big open space

for the technodrome
to surface.

The planetarium
across from the park.

Exactamundo!

Let's get there,
turtles.

Oh, be careful with
those capsidium crystals.

They're delicate.

Ah, the foot soldiers.

Good. You've brought
the equipment. Now inside.

Oh, Donatello's
so smart.

I just know
he'll figure out

that shredder's gonna be
here at the planetarium.

I'll just wait for the turtles
to get here

so I can warn them.

That's what you think.

Hey, let me go!

Look who I found
snooping around.

You'll never
beat the turtles!

I don't have to now.

When they see I have you,
they'll surrender.

It looks awfully quiet.

Famous last words.

Ow! Look out, lasers!

Lasers!

Raphael,
you and Donatello

stay here and keep
the foot soldiers busy.

Michelangelo and I will
take care of shredder.

Let's go, Donatello.

Now it's our turn.

Oh-h*, the capsidium
crystals are in place.

It's almost time.

It's later
than you think,

shredder.

The turtles!

Bingo, bud.

Drop your weapons.

Zak?

Microdude!

Don't do it, guys!

I'm afraid
he's got us.

Tie them up.
We'll deal with them later.

Hurry!

The conjunction
of the planets

is just
moments away.

Never fear, krang.

Everything
is under control.

It had better be.

This is getting us
nowhere fast.

I've got an idea.

Let's make a run
for the module.

Let's see.
Ah, this must be it.

Here they come.

Perfect timing.

It's ready.
Now, run for it.

Now let's help
Michelangelo and Leonardo

mop up those creeps.

Hey, thanks for
all your help, dude.

Think nothing of it.

Guys, I'm sorry
I broke my promise.

This is
kind of my fault.

It's working.

Now is the hour
of my triumph!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

The world is ours.

Come on!
You're the ninja turtles.

Nobody can defeat
you guys.

Those capsidium crystals
are sensitive to sound.

If only we could--

I got an idea,
Donatello.

Give me your turtlecom.

Who you gonna call,
mutantbusters?

Unh, here.

Thanks.

Now, if I can just
reach the knob.

Got it.

[High-pitched sound]

Aah! What is that
infernal noise?

Ow!
Ooh!

The noise shattered
the crystals.

What's going on?

"Never fear, krang,

everything's under
control," he says.

A piece of that crystal
landed next to my foot.

If I can get
my foot under it.

Ahh, there.

Try to catch the crystal
when I flip it.

Maybe we can use it
to cut the ropes.

Got it.
What do I win?

Only our freedom.

[SNORTS] Ooh,

krang's going to be
awful steamed.

We'll deal
with krang later.

First
to dispose of--

the turtles!

Like, how about we dispose
of you instead?

I think not.

Smoke grenade!

[COUGHING]

They're getting away.

After them.

The module. It's gone!

You haven't seen
the last of me, turtles.

Aah!
Aah!

Whoa-aah!

ALL: Unh!

Don't just stand there
like a frozen steer.

Pick me up.

You'd like to do what?

Start a teenage mutant
ninja turtles fan club.

I know lots of kids
who would join.

Excellent idea,
microdude.

We could make
guest appearances

at pizzeria openings.

Don't forget guided tours
of the lair via sewer raft.

You're the only
fan we need,

and we want to show
our appreciation

for your help.

My very own turtlecom.
Wow!

We have decided to make you
an honorary turtle, zak.

You'll always be
welcome in our lair.

Oh, if this is a dream,
I hope I never wake up.

Out looking
for turtles again,

little brother?

Yes, and I found them.

Oh, yeah.
Sure, you did.

No, really.

Who do you think
brought me home?

Wha?

So long, zak.

Thanks for your help.

Hey, drop in anytime,
microdude.

You make
a great turtle,

even if you're
not green.

Want to eat this
with ketchup

or mayonnaise?
