[ Whirring ]

The proton accelerator.
Lord Dregg will be pleased.

[ Raphael ]
Oh, no, he won't.

'Cause you're goin' home
empty-handed, creep!
[ Grunts ]

We finally got the drop
on the Techno-g*ng.

What are we hiding for?
We gotta stop 'em!

We will, Carter, as a team.
Now here's the plan.

This sonic disintegrator
will stop them.

Forget the plan! They've
got the proton accelerator!
Dude, no!

Time to kick
a little techno-tail!
Yaah! Yaah!

That kid's gonna
give me an ulcer!

[ Grunts ]

I'll just take that, amigo!

Back off, techno-g*ons!

Yeah, and tell your boss, Dregg,
to stop messing with our planet!

Proton accelerator acquired.
Fall back.

They're getting away
with that gizmo!
What about Carter?

Hey, he caused this mess.
He can wait.

[ High-pitched Frequency ]
[ expl*si*n ]

Whoa!
It's raining roof!

Alpha to mother ship.
Target the deviant earthlings.

Look out!

[ Groaning ]
Gotta help the guys!

Suddenly I feel like
we're at the wrong end
of a shootin' gallery.

[ Roaring ]

It's that
weirdo again.

Come on! We've gotta get
the proton accelerator back.

[ Growls ]

Uh, maybe we should take
a little rain check on that.

[ Alpha ]
Take out that building.

[ Turtles Shouting ]

Grab on, dudes!

[ Grunting ]

Well, there's
no sign of Carter...

or that weird dude.

Hey, who the heck
is that freak-o anyway?

Some kind of mutant,
I guess.

And he always seems
to show up just in time
to save our shells.

But what about Carter?
[ Sighs ]

Nobody saved him.
[ Carter ]
Looking for someone?

Dude! Hey, don't ever
scare us like that again!

You mind telling us
how you got through
that blast in one piece?

Uh, the impact blew me
onto that fire escape.

Pretty lucky, huh?

Maybe.
But luck's no substitute
for teamwork.

Hey! I'm on the team.
You don't act like it.

Yeah, you shouldn't have
jumped the g*n back there.

Those techno-creeps had
the proton accelerator.

If you'd listened to me,
we would have
outflanked them.

But instead,
we had to protect you.

Yeah. You let them get away
with that... gizmo.

At least
I did something.

If you're not part
of the team, you're part
of the problem, Carter.

Remember that.
Hey!
I don't need this.

Whoa, does that dude
have a lot to learn.

[ Dregg ]
My molecular converter
was damaged...

during our escape from
the galactic patrol.

But this primitive
proton accelerator will
restore it sufficiently...

to achieve my aim.

Repairs completed,
Lord Dregg.

[ Beeping ]

Perfect.

It purified
the polluted water.

Prepare our descent
to Earth.

This device will give me
supreme power.

And I won't even have
to fire a single shot.

[ Typing ]

There's no sign
of the Techno-g*ng's ship
anywhere.

You mean
they got away
without a trace?

[ Bubbling ]

Guys, here's a sign
I'm not too happy with.

This mutagen
is really acting weird.
[ Beeping ]

[ Beeping Continues ]

Hey! Something big's
headed this way.

[ Communicator Chirps ]
Guys, it's April!

Would this be
about a huge U.F.O.
descending on the city?

How did you know?
Lucky guess.

- What you got?
- It's Dregg.

He's announced his arrival
to the authorities,
15 minutes ago.

What?
The mayor and the city council
are going to meet him.

Man, what's that space case
up to this time?

I don't know, but we've got
to check this one out.

[ Crowd Murmuring ]

Here it comes!

[ Man Gasps ]
Oh!

People of Earth,

I am Dregg.

My own planet
was long ago destroyed...

by greed and w*r.

I have come
to save your world
from a similar fate.

Yeah, right. And I'm
the Easter Bunny.

To prove
my intentions,

I bring you this
molecular converter.

This is pollution
from one of your rivers.

Behold how it is
transformed...

into clean, pure water
once more.

[ Crowd Gasping ]
And this is just
the beginning.

[ Crowd Cheering ]
They're buying it.

Maybe he's on
the up-and-up?

Get real! We gotta tell them
what a creepazoid
that dude is!

I don't think
we're in any position
to sway them.

All I require is
a base of operations...

so that I can put
my advanced technology
to use...

for the good
of your planet.

[ Crowd Cheering ]
I bet they're gonna
give it to him too.

[ April ]
Responding to the alien's
gesture of good will,

the city presented him
with its newest skyscraper,

which has been renamed
Dregg Tower.

Dregg has been working
around the clock,

turning the building
into a citadel of science
for the good of mankind.

Live from Dregg Tower,

this is independent
field correspondent
April O'Neil signing off.

Man, this is so bad.

We've gotta
blow the whistle
on that slimeball!

First, I wanna know
what he's doing
in that building.

Come on.

- [ Grating Clatters ]
- Ahh. The good old sewers.

[ Chuckles ]
They'll get you anywhere.

I figured we wouldn't
stand a chance getting in
through the front door.

[ Beeping ]
[ Donatello ]
Guys?

I'm not sure
we stand a chance...
at all.

Intruders. Annihilate.

Intruders. Annihilate.

[ All ]
Look out!

They must be part
of Dregg's defense system.

Man, talk about
being obsessed
with security.

[ Donatello ]
He's got blasters everywhere.

It's those robots
that worry me.

Michelangelo,
draw their fire.

- Raphael,
take out their weapons.
- You've got it!

Come on, chip heads!
Hit me with your best shot!

En garde,
you two-bit tin can!

[ Shouts ]

Weapons nonfunctional.
Retreat.

Not so fast,
chrome boy.

Okay, we disarmed them.
Um, now what?

We ride them
into the building!

We are admitting intruders
to penetrate the building.

Activate the neural net.

That doesn't look good.

[ Leonardo ]
And we'll never get past it.

So much for
our escape route.

If we don't find a way
out of here, we're gonna
get french fried!

And we're all
out of hallway.
There!

[ Leonardo ]
Well, we're right back
where we started.

One thing's for sure--
Dregg doesn't want
any intruders.

All the more reason why we've
got to find out what he's up to.

Yeah, but I don't see
how we'll ever get past
all those defenses.

[ Carter ]
So they think they can
get along without me.

[ Static Crackling ]
Hey, Dregg!
We need to talk.

Hmm. The brat
who fought against me
with those Turtles.

You just forfeited
your life, human!

Hey, crank it down
a couple of decibels,
big boy.

- I want to do
business with you.
- Are you mad, earthling?

No, just smart.
I know a winning side
when I see one.

And I have information
that could be very valuable
to you.

You're brash and arrogant!
I admire that.

Meet me in the alley
behind Dregg Tower
in 30 minutes.

I'm here, Dregg-head.
So where are you?

Lord Dregg
couldn't be here,

so he sent us instead.

You guys think
you can take me?
Think again!

[ Tires Screeching ]

[ Shouting, Grunting ]

You're going down,
techno-scum!

Yaah!
Oh!

Hyah! Ah!

[ Dregg ]
You have passed the test
with flying colors, human.

Escort our young friend up
to the executive suite.

What's with all
the heavy-duty electronics?
Doing a little remodeling?

Much more than that.
But never mind that now.

Now, human,
you have my attention.

What have you got
to offer me?

Plenty. I have skills,
and I know this world.
You don't.

I see. So you want
to help me.

I need you to lure
the Turtles to me.

They're a threat to my plans
to save this misera--

I mean, uh, little planet.

But if you think
you're not up to the task--

I'll get you the Turtles--
signed, sealed and delivered.

I just don't see
another way
into that building.

What about Carter?
Who?

Our friend took
a big fat powder on us,
Sensei.

But you may
still need him...

if Donatello's findings
about the mutagen are correct.

That's right. My sample
started becoming unstable.

Whoa! You mean
we might... change?

Or lose our mutant powers
altogether?

In either event,
I feel we will need Carter
more than ever.

He's not much
of a team player,
Master Splinter.

Do not be too hasty
in your judgment.

Perhaps
his reckless actions
disguise good intentions.

[ Communicator Chirps ]
Hey, guys. It's me.

Carter! Where on earth
have you been?

Diggin' up the dirt
on Dregg.

And I've got somethin'
you're gonna like.

[ Sighs ]
You shouldn't be
doing this on your own.

Hey, you want to get
into Dregg's building,
you come to me.

Meet me
at the old armory.

All right.
Let's see what he's got.

[ Donatello ]
Carter says he can get us
inside Dregg's tower, April.

That's some trick
to get through that
state-of-the-art security.

This I gotta see.
I'll be there.

[ Leonardo ]
This place could stand
a little sprucing up.

- [ Carter ]
Lookin' for me?
- Okay, Carter. Let's go.

[ Michelangelo ]
The Hi-Tech!

You deviant scum
aren't going anywhere--

except as my prisoners.

Dudes, can it be that--

I'd say
our so-called friend
just sold us out.

Come on! Let's take
these mecha-maniacs!

[ Leonardo ]
There's too many of 'em!

Hit the deck!

[ All Shouting ]

What the--

Well done, Carter.

You have proven your worth
to our master, Lord Dregg.

I can't believe it.
Carter set us up.

[ Car Approaching ]

[ April ]
Could things
get any worse?

[ Screeching ]

Oh, if I'm gonna help
the Turtles expose Dregg
for the fraud he really is,

I've gotta follow them.

Oh, here goes nothing!
[ Grunts ]

[ Gasps, Screams ]

[ Grunting ]

Looks like there's no place
to go but... down!

Where's Carter?
How did you get him
to betray us, Dregg?

You should
choose your friends
more wisely, mutant.

The lad was only too happy
to sell you out.

And you might consider
following his example.

- What?
- You're mutants, freaks,
outcasts of society.

You have no loyalty
to those... humans.

You're better than they are.

Why not join me?

And together
we will rule this world!

Are you through?
Go suck an egg,
space scum!

If you will not join me,

you will be destroyed!
[ Beeps ]

[ Power Humming ]

[ Michelangelo ]
Oh, man. Not that thing again!

We've gotta get out
of these clamps somehow.

There's something
on the side of these slabs.
It could be a release switch.

Try and reach it.

[ Raphael ]
Make it fast, dudes,
before we get fricasseed!

[ Grunts ]
Can't quite reach it.

What in the--

My arm?
What's happening to it?

Guys, I think our mutations
are changing!

As if we didn't have
enough problems.

I'd say maybe we just got
a preview of our future.

Dude, if we don't
get out of here, we aren't
gonna have a future.

- Hang on, guys!
- Carter, what are you doing?

Getting you out of here.

What's the matter, Carter?
Have a sudden attack
of conscience?

Yeah. You nearly got
our shells roasted.

Sorry, guys.
Things didn't go
exactly as I planned.

But I got you inside
the building, didn't I?

You mean, you didn't
really switch sides?

You think I'd join
that space creep,
betray the whole human race?

No way! Besides, I found out
what Dregg's up to.

And we gotta work fast.

All right, Carter.
But from now on,
be a team player.

You got it.

Dregg's turning
this whole building
into a fortress.

We got to shut down
the weapons system
before he gets it online.

But this place
is like a maze.
How are we gonna find it?

[ Communicator Chirps ]

It's April, guys.
I'm in the basement.

There's some kind of
huge arsenal down here.

Does that answer
your question?

Hang on, April.
We're on our way.

Now, what's the fastest way
to the basement?

Try the elevator, dude!

Cowabunga!

[ Donatello ]
If we can link
the systems together,

a single expl*si*n
should take
all the weapons out.

Great! But how do we
set off the expl*si*n?

Uh, that part I haven't
figured out yet.

I've got the whole arsenal
on tape.

This will show the world
what a warlord Dregg really is.

[ Beeps ]
The systems
are all linked.

Now to set them off...
somehow.

You won't be setting
anything off.

Destroy them!

Dudes, we are
way outnumbered!

But not out-weaponed.

Back off, metal mouth.

Yaah! Aah! Yaah!

[ Grunts ]

You will pay dearly for
deceiving Lord Dregg, human.

Carter's in trouble!

Gotta... get... free.

Gotta... get--

[ Roaring ]

I don't believe it!

That weird mutant...
is Carter!

Wow. That kid's
just full of surprises.

[ Growling ]

Whoa. Way to go, Carter!

You fool!
A stray blast could destroy
this whole building!

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

Yeah. If we could
get Dregg mad enough...

and lure him over
near those missiles--

[ Whistles ]
Hey, fish face!
Over here!

Insolent mutant!
I'll rip you out
of your shell!

[ Shouts ]
You and what army, moon goon?

Come on, space cadet.

Yeah, hit us
with your best shot.

That I will!

[ Grunts ]

You will pay for this, deviants!

I am Dregg,
Supreme Warlord of the Galaxy!

Oh, yeah?
You look like
a big loser to me.

I'll show you.
I'll show the world!

No! No!

[ Alarm Beeping ]

Weapons systems overload.
To the Dreggnaught.

We must flee.

My mini-cam!

No time, April.
We gotta book!

But it's got the record
of Dregg's evil.

We gotta go!

And when I spilled a drop
of that mutagen on me,

I had no idea
anything like this
would happen.

Whoa. That means
the mutagen's even more
unstable than we thought.

That might explain
the bizarro arm trick.

I don't know
if I can handle all this.

Your mutation can be
a great boon... or a curse.

The choice is up to you.

But, Sensei,
your mutation could
be changing too.

The future is fraught
with mystery for all of us.

We will need each other
more than ever
in the days to come.

One thing's for sure--
you can count on me.

All right!

From now on,
we are a team.
