I'm going crazy
down here.

But since we brought
the techno-drome

back from dimension x,
we've been stuck here.

And all our schemes
to return

to the surface
of the planet

have failed.

Because
of those accursed

teenage mutant
ninja turtles.

I am constantly defeated

by their prowess
at the martial arts.

But no more.

I'll shall turn 2
of my own minions

into unbeatable
super ninjas.

What?

Who?

Bebop! Rock steady!

Come up here at once.

Not those two.

It would take a miracle.

That's exactly what
I had in mind.

What's up, boss?

Get in the transport
module.

We're
heading earthward

to the asian/american
cultural center.

There's someone there
I want you to meet.

Come back here!

Oh, I should never have
joined forces with a ninja.

Next time
I conquer a planet,

I'm using an accountant.

I've studied well the ways
of our ancient foot clan.

Ha, those two aren't the
only ones who can practice.

Hit it,
Michelangelo.

Whoa! Check out
these moves.

With our ninja
fighting skills

and superior
pizza-making abilities,

it's no wonder
shredder stays

hold up in the center
of the earth.

April O'Neill here at the
asian/american cultural center,

where, among other
ancient artifacts,

a burial urn
is on display.

It's reported
to contain the ashes

of a noble warrior who lived
hundreds of years ago.

His name
was shibano sama.

Shibano sama.
We must get there

before shredder does.

Shredder?

I'll explain
on the way.

When
shredder stole

the leadership of the
foot clan from me,

he also stole the
clan's sacred scrolls.

Now I fear he plans
to use those scrolls

to gain powers no mortal
was meant to have.

What has this to do with the
remains of shibano sama?

He was the founder
of the foot clan.

Heavy duty happening.

Yeah, just like
a kung fu movie.

Our only hope is to beat
shredder to the remains.

And you have failed
as usual.

Shredder.

A little
ninja potion

of my own
devising.

Knock-out...Gas.

Hurry, you two. The
effects of the gas

will only last
a few moments.

As leader
of the foot clan,

I call forth the
spirit of its creator,

shibano sama.

Shibano sama,
come forth.

I beseech you.

Why have you
summoned me?

That you may teach
my two minions

the ways of the foot.

And make them invincible
super ninjas.

Oh, boy.
On-the-job training.

Only the true leader
of the foot clan

may make
such a request.

I am the true leader.

I have the sacred scrolls.

No way, hosebag.

Master splinter is
the leader.

Tell him, master.

Who am I?

Who are you?

All false claimants
to the clan throne

must suffer
the consequences.

Due to technical problems
with master splinter,

we're in deep trouble.

The gas gave
him amnesia.

I'll hold them off while you
get him back to the lair

and work on
an antidote.

You're the one who knows
all about potions

an--and antidotes
and stuff.

I'll stay here
and hold them off.

Boy, am I a glutton
for punishment or what?

Are you sure that potion
will restore his memory?

Yes, but it will
take time.

Can you, like, remember
anything, master?

My mind
is a complete blank.

We've got to jog
his memory.

Your name is splinter,

but your real name
is hamato yoshi.

You lived in Japan,

and you weren't a rat.

There was a ninja clan
known as the foot.

You were their shidoshi,

teacher of the warrior
ways of enlightenment.

You were a quiet man

who loved renaissance art.

But one student
plotted to overthrow

your leadership
of the foot clan,

oroku saki.

Then one day,

a sensei,
a master teacher,

visited the foot school.

And oroku saki
made his move.

Impudent dog.

Bow before
our beloved master.

So you plot to k*ll
our honorable sensei.

In disgrace,
you fled to America.

Penniless, you were forced
to live in the sewers.

Your only friends
were the rats.

And then one day,
a young boy dropped

his pet turtles
down the drain.

Meanwhile back in Japan,

under oroku saki's
evil leadership,

the foot clan turned
into an army of crime.

Back in New York,

you lived happily with
your turtles and rats.

But then one day,

something else
came down the drain,

it was a powerful mutagen,

it caused whoever touched it

to take on the form
of whatever animal

it had most recently
been in contact with.

We turtles started
becoming human,

because we'd most
recently been with you.

But you'd most recently
been in contact

with the rats.

You named
yourself splinter,

for obvious reasons.

And you named us

after your favorite
renaissance painters

and trained us in
the art of ninjitsu.

I became Leonardo.

And there's Donatello,

whose simple wooden Bo
can disarm any adversary.

And Michelangelo,

who is master of
the whirling nunchakus.

And Raphael,

who's really thrashed
right now.

That right. We've got
to snap this thing up.

Does any of this
sound familiar, sensei?

I do not know.

I'm so unsure
of everything.

What happened
to oroku saki?

And who poured that
mutagen on you?

It ties together.

Here, let me try.
See, it started

when we met a woman
named April O'Neill,

April was a reporter
covering a series

of mysterious thefts
at scientific companies

by a guy who called
himself shredder,

and shredder didn't
like that one bit.

Sign-off time,
April O'Neill.

Chill out, homeboy.

Hey, watch it with
that thing, pal.

Oh, whoever you are,
you are dead.

Whoa! Weird-looking
dudes.

Yeah, and they dress
funny, too.

I don't know
who you are,

but thanks.

You're...Not human!

Bingo! Now we're dealing
with a real mind here.

You're--you're turtles.

Yep. So we are.

I can't handle this.

Leonardo, are you sure
this is really the time

for us to be telling
our life story?

We've got to help master
splinter get his memory back.

Well, yeah, but
what about Raphael?

Those g*ons are probably turning
him into Sushi right now.

Your minions
have great strength.

They'll make the
ultimate ninja warriors.

And for practice,

they will need
a target.

Uh-oh.

How come I get
the feeling

it's going to be me?

Hey! Who turned
out the lights?

Ohh.

Ha, you couldn't teach
those boneheads anything

in a million years.

Ah, but I am no
ordinary teacher.

In the name
of the emperor koneji,

son of heaven,

I give you the powers

of the master ninjas.

We live only
to serve our sensei.

What's keeping the guys?

Why should I
have all the fun?

Oh, can you remember
anything, master?

Perhaps if you
told me more.

Who exposed us
to that mutagen?

It was
shredder himself.

See, he was rolling
around under the city

in this huge fortress
called the techno-drome.

In addition to his robots,

he also employed
a bunch of punks,

including a pair named,
bebop and rock steady.

Just sit.

I wish I'd brought
some comics.

What you doing
to us, man?

Just relax.

Uh, what do you need
them animals for?

And he turned them
into mutants,

just like he did to us.

Is any of this
helping, master?

A little.

I seem to remember,

didn't oroku saki
have some connection

with shredder?

Exactomundo!

He was shredder.

But we didn't
find that out

until he captured you.

All right, buddy, just
come along peacefully.

Don't make this any
tougher on yourself.

Naturally, we came
to your rescue.

Master splinter's
walking stick!

He's never without it.

He must be in trouble!

Indeed, he is.
Ha ha ha.

If you want
to see him again,

you'll have to
come in.

It's got to be
a trap!

I hate it
when he says that.

Splinter!

I'll cut you
down, master.

I must
congratulate you.

It's the guys
we fought last night.

You passed your test
with flying colors.

Test? What test?

Your hairy little
friend knows me as

oroku saki.

But you may call me...

The shredder.

A kitchen utensil?

You would be wise
to lose

your flippant ways
if you wish to join

the honorable foot clan.

Why should we want
to do that?

Because it was I

who made you
what you are today.

Don't deny your destiny.

Join me.

Does the phrase,

"go suck a lemon"

hold any meaning
for you?

Let's cut him down!

Very well.

I have my own mutants.

Bebop!

Rock steady!

Destroy them!

Oh, with great pleasure,
master shredder.

Grrr.

Grrr.

Jump for it!

You idiots!

The mutation didn't
up their iqs any.

Come on, splinter.

We're checking out
of this dump.

Come on, you fools!

I just hope I haven't
missed out on the action!

Rest here
a moment, master.

You know, that was
almost too easy.

I really wish you'd stop
saying things like that.

Bebop and rock steady
were ready to make

mince meat out of us.

[GROWLS]

Say your prayers,
turtles.

So bebop and rock steady
came after you.

Uh-huh...

And were they mad.

[GROWLS]

Well, well, well,

lookie what we found.

[SNORTS]

We've got a score
to settle

with you little twerps.

[GRUNTING]

Aw, did I hurt youse?

This'll make it better.

We don't like rats
in our fair city.

[SNORTS]

Maybe I should just
wring your stinkin' neck.

Not so fast, homeboy.

[SNORTING]

Drink blazin' electric
death, turtles!

Ah, the boy
likes his work.

'Scuse me, but is
any of this stuff

jogging your memory,
master?

Ahh, I'm not sure.

I'm so confused.

Leonardo, even if we do
get his memory back,

how can
he stop shredder?

If splinter can prove he is the
true leader of the foot clan,

shibano sama will turn
against shredder.

Yeah, but how?

The kur li maneuver.

Oh, I've heard splinter
talk about it,

but I've never seen
him use it.

It's a fighting move known only by
the true leader of the foot clan.

If splinter's memory
comes back,

he can do
the kur li maneuver

for shibano sama.

And prove that
shredder's lying.

Strange that oroku saki now
had all this technology.

I seem to recall...

He was not alone.

No, duh!

There was
this alien dude

from dimension x
named krang.

Well, he was this
w*r criminal

who'd been banished to earth
and had his body take away.

So he was using shredder
to built him a new bod.

Excellent.

I want you
to add to it

this molecular
amplification unit.

But why?

Saki, you fool,

don't waste time.

Your forces
are depleted.

The turtles are
on their way.

Install the chip now!

All right. I'll do it.

You may feel
some disorientation

when you revive
in your new body.

It's alive!

It's alive!

Krang's body
had a circuit

that turned him into
this giant economy size.

Holy guacamole!

Nothing can stop
the almighty krang.

Well, naturally we thought
it'd be a mondo notion

to bring all of this
to a screeching halt.

Oh, where's Godzilla
when you really need it?

Well, guys, it's been
great knowing you.

What the heck?

Come on, guys!

Welcome aboard
the turtle blimp.

Does this thing
actually work?

Just watch.

Cowabunga!

We've got to shrink
him down!

I am krang,
the all-powerful!

I have never
been defeated!

Well, you never tangled
with a turtle before, pal.

Let's kick some shell.

Shredder, come quickly.

Uh-oh.

It's that retro-muto
thingamabob.

He's gonna use it to turn us
back into ordinary turtles.

Well, g*ng, looks like it's back
to the old pet shop for us.

Far from it.

Tonight I dine
on turtle soup.

Ahh!

No!

Master splinter!

Climb on my back.

Of course!

I remember it all.

Where is Raphael?

Ahh!

He's trapped
in the cultural center.

We haven't
a moment to lose.

Excellent.

You have mastered
every fighting maneuver

known to the foot clan.

All but one, I believe.

Does any of these
impostors know...

The kur li maneuver?

Ah, well,
only the true leader

of the foot clan
may know it.

Do you?

[MOAN AND GROANS]

The kur li
maneuver!

Ah, I can't move.

Whoo whoo whoo.

Whoo whoo
whoo whoo whoo

nkuk, nkuk, nkuk,
nkuk, nkuk.

You impostors!

Mama!

They got away.

Hey, don't worry.
They always do that.

And surely, it's time
you returned

to your place
in eternity,

shibano sama.

Perhaps you're correct.

You have been a wise
teacher, hamato yoshi.

And to you
students, I say,

always follow the noble
path of the foot,

be faithful
to your master,

be virtuous
and truthful,

and...

Save the last slice
of pizza for me.

ALL: Huh?
