this must
be the place.

What does
the sign say?

How should I know?

Let's go bust in
and find out.

Ok, boss, we're
inside the plant.

Now what?

SHREDDER: Get those energy
modules, you bug-brained baboon.

And hurry!

We're almost
out of power.

Come on! This'll be
a piece of cake.

Whoa!

Right,
upside down cake.

BEBOP:
The turtles.

Correctamundo,
pork puss.

Hey, how'd you know we was
gonna hit this place?

Simple. It's the only
power plant in town

that you haven't
hit yet.

There's nothing like exclusive footage
to brighten a reporter's day.

Pack it in, chump.

You haven't
got a prayer.

Aw, you wouldn't hurt a guy,
would you?

Maybe he wouldn't,
but I would.

[BOTH GRUNT]

Out of my way,
shell backs!

Yo, bebop!
Wait for me.

Are you ok, dude?

Oh, never mind me.

Let's get those
muscle-bound mutants.

LEONARDO: Turtles
fight with honor!

How about if I just
fight with this stuff?

Ugh!
Hey!

I can't move!

This stuff's
like chewing gum.

Shredder, get the boys
on the comlink.

I'm trying! But
I'm losing the signal.

Blast! We're
out of power.

Really?

And I thought
you'd just forgotten

to pay
the electric bill.

Ok, what are you two
up to this time?

Cram it in your shell,
wimp.

Smart answer,
but dumb move.

[ALL SHOUTING]

Grab on, bebop.

I...Got it!

Whoa, stretch city.

DONATELLO:
Quick. Grab them before--

[SCREAMING]

You were saying...

Come on.
Let's blow this joint.

They're
getting away!

DONATELLO: Uh, wrong
tense-- they got away.

Hey, amigos,
at least we stopped them

from consummating whatever
nefarious scheme

they were attempting.

Well, this was bound
to happen,

ever since we hooked up to
that educational TV station.

I'd love to stay
and chat, guys,

but I've got
to do a story

on the security program
at fort Charles.

Fort Charles?

That's the new military
supercomputer installation.

Uh-huh. They're storing some
top-secret energy source there.

Call me crazy,

but I think there's
a pattern here.

Every plant those bozos
have tried to break into

has been doing
energy research.

No duh.

They're after power for the
technodrome in every episode.

Right, but I think their
situation is getting worse.

You're right.
This time

they didn't even have
their stun lasers.

I bet they don't have enough
energy left to power them.

So what does
all this mean?

It means that fort Charles
could be a target,

and April is on
her way there.

[KNOCK KNOCK]

ROCKSTEADY: Come on,
somebody open this thing!

Hey, why are
the lights out?

Maybe it's
a surprise party.

Yeow, it's frankula!

No way.
It's drackenstein.

It's me, you idiots.

Oh, hi, boss.

Uh, boss, how come
it's so dark in here?

Because we're
out of power, remember?

That's why I sent you to
get those energy modules.

Did you get them?

Well, uh,
more or less.

More or less?

Um, actually less.

Actually,
a lot less.

Oh, you blithering
blisterbrains!

I ought to--

whoa!
Aah!

We're falling!

Shredder, the ledge we're on
is starting to crumble.

Really.
You don't say.

KRANG: We have no power

for the refrigeration
units.

If we fall
into the lava,

our goose
will be cooked.

We've got to find an
energy source immediately!

This is April o'Neil,

live from fort Charles--

the army's newest
high-tech storage center.

This is probably the most
heavily fortified place

on the face of the earth,

guarded by laser cannons,
force fields,

and robotic soldier drones,

and all of it controlled

by a single
piece of equipment--

cyclop,

the most sophisticated
computer ever built.

Whoa, looks like mondo
maximo security to me.

Let's hope it's enough to
keep shredder and his creeps

from trying to get
that energy source.

All this security
is to protect

what's inside
this airtight vault--

the only trilithium
crystal in existence

and the most powerful
energy source known to man.

Trilithium.
That's what we need.

Are you out of your skull?

Ha ha!
Look who's talking.

Oh, very funny.

Even if we could
get past those defenses,

the crystal
is highly unstable.

It could blow us
all to atoms.

Very true.

But I want the turtles

to think we're stealing
the crystal

while we get
the energy

to repower the
technodrome elsewhere.

You're using up what
little power we have left.

It will be worth it.
Trust me.

Trust me.

I've heard
that before.

External signal detected.

Password override accepted.

New programming input
acknowledged.

What are you doing?

Reprogramming cyclop
by remote control.

ROCKSTEADY: Hey, boss,
what's going on?

Whoa!

Oof!

Hey, rocksteady,
where did you--

oh, there you are.

Get off me, you
horn-headed klutz!

Sorry, boss.

Well, I hope you're
satisfied, shredder.

Now we're completely
out of power.

Yes,
but not for long.

Attention, combat drones.

Prepare to input
new programming immediately.

Hey, where are you taking me?

Stop!

Where are you taking me?

Hey! Hey!

What in the heck?

Aah!

This is very unusual,
ladies and gentlemen.

It appears
as if the robot drones

are clearing the fort
of every living person.

Oh...

This is April o'Neil

being signed off.

I knew it.

Shredder has reprogrammed
that army computer.

And April's trapped
in that airtight vault!

And if it isn't
opened soon,

she'll suffocate.

Pour it on, guys.

We've got to rescue April
before her air runs out.

How come we can't ever have
a nice leisurely emergency?

This is Vernon fenwick
for channel 6 news,

reporting
from fort Charles live.

The situation here
appears hopeless.

The army's own weapons
have turned against them.

Despite the personal
danger,

channel 6's coverage of
this crisis will continue.

Aah!

After these messages.

Pedal faster.
The screen's going dark.

[PANTING]

This is the story
of my life--

pedaling like crazy
and not going nowhere.

My plan
is working perfectly.

The turtles should
be there soon.

All right, you can
stop pedaling now.

I'm glad they ain't
watching some miniseries.

Now do you appreciate

the brilliance
of my plan?

Oh, it's not bad

for a pea-brained human,

but where do you intend
to get the power supply?

From
the malyk m*ssile plant.

With those pesky turtles
busy at the fort,

even your idiotic mutants
should have no trouble

stealing
the power packs.

Why is it whenever
they make a mistake,

they're my
idiotic mutants?

Get to that
m*ssile plant.

Whoa!
Whoa!

Get off me,
you klutzes.

And get to the surface
before it's too late.

LEONARDO: I can't believe
they left the sewer line

to this place unguarded.

RAPHAEL: Hey, that's military
intelligence for you.

This won't be
so hard after all.

[LASER g*n SHOOTS]

Well, maybe
a little hard.

That camera
is targeting us

for those lasers!

We've got to shut it down!

Leave it
to yours truly, bud.

Swell. Another dozen
death-dealing traps like this

and we'll be done
for the day.

Then we better
get going.

Still no word on the
condition of April o'Neil,

who's imprisoned
inside the vault.

Officials warn us the air won't
last more than another hour.

But never fear,

if miss o'Neil should...
Expire...

I shall carry on
in her place,

and at a raise
in salary.

[COUGHING]

We're at
the m*ssile plant.

No, we ain't.

We're in front of
the fountain

in front of
the m*ssile plant.

Ah, close enough.

[BEEP]

Yeah, boss?

SHREDDER: Hurry up and
get those power packs.

We're on our way.

Aah!
Aah!

Don't you just
love this part?

APRIL: Turtles,
please hurry.

This way, guys.

Maybe we should try
another room, huh, guys?

Now I know how
a highway feels.

Prepare to be terminated.

The digital dude
means business, amigos.

My horoscope said I should
settle all unfinished business.

Try interfacing with this,
chrome dome.

I think that
was a bad idea.

Quick, into
the ventilation shafts!

Bodacious notion, dude,

before we
get ventilated.

RAPHAEL:
Hurry, let's move it!

Whew, that was close.

Primo idea,
Leonardo.

We won't run in
to any drones here.

Yiii!

Unh!

Some kind of robot raft.

Oh, there's
only one.

Let's keep moving.

Hurry up, Raphael.

Hey, I'm a tortoise,
not a hare, ok?

Uh-oh.
There's another one.

Come in, turtles.

Please hurry.

Not much air left.

Look out!

We'll get out
this way.

Follow me.

Unh!
Unh!

Now, don't you kids
at home try this.

We're
trained professionals.

The signal is
stronger.

We must be on
the right floor.



k*ller robots
and trilithium crystals.

[LASER g*n SHOOTS]

Ha ha ha! This is
working like a charm.

Yeah. It's nice
to be able to commit a crime

without them
turtles around.

You folks out there
just think of me

as the kind of reporter
who's willing to get a story

no matter
what the danger.

Nooo!

This is Vernon fenwick...

Signing off.

We're not far now.

Hang on, April,
we're coming!

That'll clear
your sinuses.

Are you all right,
Raphael?

Yeah, but I'm afraid
that's only temporary.

Look!

More k*ller drones.

And I don't think they're here
to sell us vacuum cleaners.

Total bummer, dudes.

I've got a plan.

When I say duck...

We quack?

We duck!

Primo idea, Leonardo.

More drones.

I've got an idea.

Follow me.

So, like,
where are we headed?

To the restroom!

You really should have
taken care of that

before we left home,
Donatello.

MICHELANGELO: You notice
how they're never around

when you really need one.

At last,
we found one.

No time to explain.

Just grab a mirror.

Mirrors.
I get it!

Mondo brainstorm,
Donatello.

Here they come.
Get ready.

Turtles--4.
Robots--zippo.

There'll be more.

We've got to shut down
the computer

that's controlling them.

How are we going
to do that

without getting wasted
by these drones?

I always say if you can't
beat them, join them.

[BEEP]

Rocksteady here.

Is that you, boss?

No, it's
the tooth fairy.

Hey, let me talk
to that crook.

I left my little baby
tusk under my pillow

and didn't get
nothing.

Hurry and get those
power packs back here.

When the turtles realize we're not
after the trilithium crystal,

they'll come for you.

We can handle them,
boss.

You never have before.

[SHREDDER GROANS]

Oh, I can't stand just
sitting here in the dark,

not knowing
what's happening!

That's because you're
usually sitting in the light,

not knowing
what's happening.

If only there were
some way

to get enough power to
run the monitor screens.

Oh...

Krang, how would
you feel

about a
little exercise?

This is like
high-tech Halloween.

This just might work.

I'm hoping we can fool
that supercomputer.

Personally, I don't think
we could fool a sundial.

Still, it's our
only chance.

Come on, April's
time is running out.

Just in case,

how do you say
"I surrender" in computerese?

This better
work, shredder!

Never let them
see you sweat.

Faster, krang.
Feel the burn.

Wait a minute--
I'm getting something...

There.

Oh, no,
it can't be!

Great. The turtles
are still alive.

Not for long.

They're headed for the
cyclop's chamber.

The computer will
recognize them instantly.

Oops. I wonder if they
make robot suspenders.

What a time
to lose face.

Can you get close
enough to cyclop

to pull the plug?

I'll try.

Ow, that smarts!

[BEEP]

Uh-oh. Bad move.

Intruder alert.

Intruder alert.

Shut it down,
Donatello.

We'll buy you the time.

Have you two ever met
face-to-face?

If shredder could get
into this computer,

how tough can it be?

Looks like they're canceling
our time slot, dudes.

Got it!

All right!

Way to go,
Donatello!

Cyclop's deactivated,

and that means...

April!

W-who is it?

The cavalry
has arrived, ma'am.

The turtles.

What took
you guys so long?

Let that be
a lesson, guys.

Never keep a woman waiting.

I don't believe it.

They
shut down cyclop.

Excellent. That means
fort Charles is defenseless,

and the trilithium crystal
is up for grabs.

The trilithium
is too unstable.

But we can't
beat the price.

Besides, your mutants
are sure to fail.

Oh, all right,
all right. I'll go.

And don't come
back without it!

I'm all right now.

Boy, does it feel good
to breathe again.

We better get out of here

so the army can get
that vault closed.

Yeah, but I'm surprised

shredder hasn't come
looking for the crystal.

Oh, look out!

You and your big mouth.

Out of my way,
turtles.

I want that crystal.

One more step,
shredder,

and ka-boom goes
the crystal.

You're bluffing, turtle.

You wouldn't destroy
yourself and your friends

just to stop me.

Oh, yeah?

Turtles don't
know how to bluff.

Windup,
and the pitch!

No!

Right over the plate.
Strike one!

Give me that crystal.

Strike two!

Stop, you fools.

All this tossing
is destabilizing

the crystal's atomic
structure.

Really?

Well, in that case,
you can have it.

Yiii!

Strike three!
You're out.

I just remembered, you
only get three strikes.

Come on! Let's get
out of here

before
the crystal blows!

At least I got away.

Let those turtles deal
with the crystal.

Whoa!

Aah!
Aah!

Gosh, I wonder what that
expl*si*n did do to shredder?

Nothing good,
I hope.

I see you came back
with the trilithium crystal.

The power's back on.

But how?

Hi, boss.

I told you to get
them brakes fixed.

For once my mutants
did something right.

Yeah, boss.

We brought back
them power packs.

Yeah, we got
full power now.

And not a moment too soon.

Prepare to start
main thrusters.

Well, it looks like krang and
shredder lost another chance

to power up
the technodrome.

Yeah, if those zipheads

ever get that thing
running again,

I'll eat
this comic book.

We interrupt this program
for a special bulletin.

Two mutants have stolen
m*ssile power units

from the malyk
m*ssile plant.

Oh, no.

They did it again.

Michelangelo,
stay right there.

Bon appetit.
