[ Donatello ]
Three, two, one.

Vortex crystal
demutation ray activated.

If this works,
our wild mutations
may soon be history.

[ Groaning ]

He survived
the energy ray.

Now if his genes
check out as normal,
we're home free, fellas.

Uh-uh-uh-uh, dudes?

I-I-I feel kind of funny.

He's mutating!

[ Roaring ]

[ Roaring ]

Whoa!
Look out!
Get out of the way!

Snap out of it,
Michelangelo.

I don't want
to have to hurt you.

Sorry, Michelangelo,
but you asked for it.

[ Growling ]

[ Growling ]

Come on, Michelangelo.
Snap out of it.

[ Growling ]

Just our luck.
A Swiss Army mutant.

[ Growling ]

[ Roaring ]

[ Roaring ]

[ Donatello ]
Whoa.

Ah. Well,
that didn't work.

It's a good thing we ran
a virtual reality simulation...

on that demutation ray...

before we tried it
on ourselves.

Look on
the bright side, guys.

We can make a bundle
selling that as a video game.
Can I play it again?

This is no joke,
Raphael.

We've got to find a way
to stabilize our mutations.

Stormy seas grow calm
when the wind stops blowing.

Calm your mind,
and you will find the answer.

Huh. All right.

Let's start over
with the calculations.

[ Clicking ]

Lord Dregg,
sensors indicate
that vortex crystals...

have been activated
within this quadrant
of the galaxy.

The readings are coming
from Earth.

Of course.

Those mutant turtles
must have figured out...

that the crystal has the power
to stabilize their mutations.

But the readings are so low,
Lord Dregg.

They must only have
a few fragments.

With even the tiniest piece,
I can genetically re-create
another crystal.

Then I can complete
the vortex transporter.

Where's Mung?

[ Panting ]
Here, your lordship.

When will the Dreggnaught
be ready?

Oh, it is ready now,
your lordship.

But, Dregg, even if
we return to Earth,

it will take months
to reconstruct
the vortex transporter.

May it please you, sire,
with this.

You can build
whatever you dream
in just hours.

That's impossible!

You are looking
at over a million
computerized Microbots.

Mung, how would you
like to leave
this slimy planet...

and be my second
in command?

But I am
your second in command!

No one but Dregg
is superior to the Hi-Tech.

I'm sending you on a mission,
Hi-Tech.

You'll orbit the galaxy
like a space probe...

and return with untold data...

in, say,


- [ Beeps ]
- Lord Dregg!

No!

I will not disappoint you,
my lord.

[ Carter ]
I've adjusted the crystal
oscillation frequency...

to automatically match
your genetic codes.

It should work
this time.

All right.
Let's run another VR test.

Whoa, dudes! I feel,
like, totally perfectamundo.

Even though I am
a virtual Turtle.

We did it!
Now all I've
got to do...

is run a simulation
on my genetic code.

Commencing simulation.

Oh, it didn't work.

The vortex crystal has no effect
on my genetic code.

The same notes
played another way
make beautiful music.

You must find
your own song, Carter.

[ Beeping ]

Scanners have located
the vortex crystal
emissions, Lord Dregg.

I trust your Microbots
will be able
to accomplish the task.

It will take only one
to track down
the vortex crystal.

A micro-rocket.

Brilliant.

Vital signs
are holding steady.

Crystal fragments
are charged and ready.

Stabilizing
Raphael's genetic code.

[ Burps ]
Excuse me.

Stabilizing Donatello.

Uh! Hmm.

Stabilizing Michelangelo.

Stabilizing Leonardo.

Ah. That was easy.

Yeah, but how can we be sure
we're really back to normal?

Leonardo's got a point.

We need to test
your genetic stability.

Yeah, we usually mutate
under stress.

Too bad we don't have
that alien sleazeball Dregg
to deal with.

I wouldn't be so hasty
in your assumption, Raphael.

But in the meantime,
I suggest you try
some sparring.

Hi-ya!

Ah. I think we're totally
back to normal.

I think...
I'm totally wasted.

It appears you are back
to your stable form.

Hey, Carter,
where are you going?

Well, I came here
to learn from Splinter,

and I'm grateful
for all you've taught me,

but I think
I should go back to college.

Maybe if I continue my studies
in biochemistry,

I can discover a way
to change myself back to normal.

Don't be silly!

We'll find a way
to stabilize your mutations.

Yeah. And besides,
we've gotten used...

to having a non-Turtle
in the family.

[ Chuckles ]
Thanks, guys,
but I've made up my mind.

And you're sure we can't
change your mind, Carter?

[ Sighs ]
Well, then,
we're sure gonna miss you.

Huh?

[ Roaring ]

[ Roaring ]

Come on, Leonardo.

First you rag on me
for goofing off
with the VR simulator.

Now you're doing it.

- [ Growling ]
- Hey!

[ Yells, Grunts ]

That's no simulation.

Leonardo's mutated.

- [ Growling ]
- No kidding.

[ Roaring ]

We've got to stop him
before he trashes
the whole lair.

Take it easy, dude.

We're your buds.

[ Growling ]

[ Groans ]
Talk about
a terrible time...

not to have
our super mutation powers.

He's getting away!

We'll catch him
in the van.

Carter, let's roll!

Leonardo's mutation
was caused by a power drop.
I should have seen it.

Hey, let's worry about
whose fault it is
after we get him under control.

No. I've got to find out
what went wrong.

You go on without me.

[ Tires Squeal ]

The Microbot has returned,
Lord Dregg.

And it's got
the crystal fragment.

Excellent.

Once the genetic cloning
of the crystal is complete,

it will power
my vortex transporter,

capable of transporting
anything...

from one end of the universe
to the other.

Oh, just what you need
to conquer the Earth.

Exactly.

And eliminate those
meddlesome Turtles as well.

Prepare
the remaining Microbots.

Yes, Lord Dregg.

[ Beeps ]

[ Cabdriver ]
Yeah, sure, there's plenty
of kooks and crazies, lady.

But on the whole, I think
the city's getting better.

[ Growling ]

- [ Screams ]
- Like I was saying,

this city is no kind
of place to live!

Look!
There he is!

I sure hope our insurance
covers mutant damage.

[ Tires Squeal ]

[ Donatello ]
Easy, Leonardo.

Now we're not
gonna hurt you.

He's definitely having
a bad hair day.

[ Rapid, High-pitched Beeping ]

[ Michelangelo ]
Oh, great. Just what
we needed. More bad press.

We got to get Leonardo
out of here and fast.

- Get ready, guys.
- [ Growling ]

Hey, Leonardo!
Catch!

Get the van, dudes!

[ Yells ]
Whoa!

Raphael, call April...

and see if she can keep us
off the 11:00 news.

Oh, sure, give me
the impossible job.

- April, it's Raphael.
- What's up?

Leonardo's mutated
out of control.

He's doing a King Kong routine
for the local news.

Can you pull the plug
on the story?

Hmm.
Let's see.

Oh, sorry, guys.
It's a live feed.

In that case, how about
calling the Department
of Animal Regulation?

He's headed
toward downtown.

We might be able
to catch him in the van.

[ Panting ]
Lord Dregg,
look at this.

[ Male Reporter ]
And then the mutated creature,

believed to be one of
the infamous Ninja Turtles,

destroyed a gas station
before being helped to escape
by his Turtle accomplices.

So, one of the Turtles
has mutated...

into an even more
degenerate creature.

Well, this will make my plans
to conquer the Earth and destroy
those Turtles even easier.

Mung, prepare the shuttle.

Yes, Lord Dregg.

First it's roaches.
Now it's science.

Well, I'll fix 'em.

Huh?

[ Yells ]

He's got to be
around here somewhere.

Hold it!
What?

What's wrong?

Oh, no!
It's Dregg!

And he's got
some seriously
ugly new buds!

Oh? You say that as if
you are not glad to see me.

Look out!

[ Roaring ]

Attaboy, Leonardo!
Protect your fellow Turtles!

Mung, get us out of here.

[ Beeps Twice ]

[ Growling ]
Way to go, dude!

Give me three!
Whoa!

Whoa! He should definitely
cut down on his sugar.

Huh. There must be an answer
here somewhere.

Can I get you
anything else, hon?

Wait a minute.
It looks like someone,
or something,

stole a piece of the crystal.

Maybe it wasn't my fault
after all.

[ Diners Shouting ]

[ Screams ]

- Look out!
- [ Tires Squeal ]

[ Growling ]

Quick, tie him up!

[ Groans ]
Sorry I ducked out on you,

but I finally figured
out what went wrong.

Well, you can tell us
about it on the way
back to the lair.

[ Powering Down ]

Oh, great.

Well, can you tell me
when the power's going
to come back on?

[ Man, Indistinct ]
What do you mean
no one knows what's wrong?

Okay, thanks.

The power went out
at the hydroelectric dam,

but they haven't been able
to contact anyone there.

Sounds like that's
where the problem is.

- [ Brakes Squeal ]
- [ Door Shuts ]

[ Muffled Shouts ]

What the heck is going on here?

Whatever's going on,
I bet I'll find the answer
at the end of these cables.

Incredible! Dregg!

Power connections
are complete.

Soon, when the vortex
transporter is complete,

I shall transport something
very special to Earth.

Something which will assure
my conquest of the planet,

as well as the destruction
of those meddling reptiles.

I've got to warn the guys.

Guys, it's April.

It's an emergency.

- What's wrong?
- It's Dregg.

He's back and he's building
some kind of a transporter...

in the old
Atlantic Steel mill.

He's got some other cronies
with him,

and thousands of little--
[ Shouts ]

She's in trouble,
dudes!

Yeah, and so is the rest
of the world if Dregg's
up to his usual stuff.

Well, looks like Leonardo
will have to wait.

[ Tires Squeal ]

[ Dregg ]
It's done.

And you, my fine young specimen,
shall be its first occupant.

[ April ]
No! Let me go!

I hope you enjoy your trip...

to the other end
of the universe.

[ Beep ]
[ Tires Squeal ]

Oh! The Turtles!

That's Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles to you, pal.

Destroy them!

[ Indistinct ]

[ Beeps ]

[ Donatello ]
Michelangelo,
give me a fastball.

Low and outside, dude.

Got him!
[ Rumbling ]

Yeah, but who's
gonna get him?

[ Carter Grunts ]
[ Turtles Shouting ]

Cover me. I'm gonna cut
this dummy down to size.

I got you covered, dude.
Go for it!

Timber!

Have a nice trip.
See you next fall.

[ Turtles Shouting ]

Place these fools
on the transporter
with the girl.

Hey!
Where are you sending us?

The center of the sun.

Aw, and me without
my number 50 million sunblock.

Oh!

Way to go, bud!

Cut us loose!

Get back!

[ Growling ]

Dregg's getting away!

- [ Beeps ]
- What are you doing?

[ Electronic Voice ]
Vortex crystal overload.

Meltdown in 10 seconds.

[ Carter ]
I'm making sure
he never comes back.

[ Raphael ]
Let's get out of here.

[ Tires Squeal ]

Forgive me, Lord Dregg.

I have failed you.

On the contrary.

Everything went
just as I intended.

[ Chuckling ]

This piece
of mutated turtle shell...

will help me gain
unimaginable power.

But-But what about
the vortex transporter?

How can you build another?

Easily. I kept
a spare piece of crystal...

and one Microbot.

[ Mung ]
Oh, of course.

One can build two.

Two can build four--

[ Dregg ]
And soon
I'll have billions.

Then I'll build another
vortex transporter.

And the Earth
will be mine.

[ Growling ]
Hey, I thought
you were leaving, Carter.

Well, I've decided
to stick around...

until we find the antidote
to Leonardo's mutation.

Hey, that's great news
'cause we're sure
gonna need major help...

taming this beast.

[ Growling ]
