Previously on
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Once I absorb the mental energy
of Shredder and Krang,

I'll have enough
knowledge and power...

to conquer all the galaxies.

Congratulations!
You're normal again!
All right, way to go, dude!

Carter?
Take care, guys.

I'll write you from college.

Transporter coordinates
are locked onto Shredder
and Krang in Dimension X.

Welcome.
I am Dregg,
conqueror of worlds.

I have brought you here
so that together
we can destroy the Turtles...

and rule the Earth.

In that case,
I suppose we have
only one choice.

Oh, great.
What's holding up
the traffic now?

[ Gasps ]
Get moving.

- Now!
- [ Both Grunt ]

Transporter locked on.

You'll regret the day
you crossed me, Dregg.

[ Dregg ]
After I drain the mutagen
from the Turtles,

and absorb
your mental energy,

I shall transform myself
into the most powerful
and intelligent being...

in all the universe.

Oh, and by the way,

you'll all be drained
of your life energy
in the process.

Proceed, Mung.

Dregg!
Stop!

It's working, Lord Dregg.
It's working!

[ Crashing ]

[ Gasps ]

Thank you for helping to bring
my true power to light.

Now I possess all of your
mental and physical strength.

I can see your memories
in my mind
as well as Krang's and--

What? Uh--

I can't access
Shredder's brain waves.

He's gone!

Find him you fools
and bring him back to me.

Put the others
into their cells.
Yes, Lord Dregg.

- Not so fast, bug face.
- Huh?

Go, Green Team!

Your weak reptilian brains
obviously haven't realized...

that by possessing
your mental energy,

I also possess
your ninja skills.

All of them.

[ All Groaning ]

Looks like our Turtle power
just had a power failure,
dudes.

I don't feel so good.

With our life energy drained,

we-we haven't got
much time left.

Come on, Mung.
I've got a galaxy to conquer.

[ Groaning ]

There must be a way out of here.

When you figure it out,
wake me up.

Come on, guys.
We can't give up now.

So that's how
the force fields
are shut off.

Must escape Dreggnaught.

Get life energy transfusion.

Yes, and then we'll return
and destroy this Lord Dregg.

[ Gasping ]
You've got to
get us out of here, April.

I know, but how?

[ Grunts ]

[ Screams ]

[ Beeps ]
Carter.
It's me, April!

[ Raphael ]
It's the bulkhead.
It's too thick.

Use a higher frequency.

[ Static ]
Hello? Carter!
Can you hear me?

[ Static ]

Carter!
It's April.

Please answer
if you can hear me.

[ Beeps ]
I read you,
but you're breaking up.

Everything all right?
I'm in the Dreggnaught
with the Turtles.

Dregg has drained
their life energy!
They haven't got much time.

Tell 'em to hang on.
I'll be there as fast as I can.

Shredder, hurry!

I've got to set the coordinates
to transport us back to Earth.

[ Dregg ]
That won't be necessary.

You can't get away, Shredder.

I possess Krang's memories
as well as the Turtles'--

[ Krang's Voice ]
so I know just how you think.

You're wasting your time.

The satellite dish
will never reach me.

And the intruder
tranquilizer gas system
has already been shut off.

You do know
how I think, Dregg.

Yes.

I can anticipate your thoughts
before you can even think them.

Perhaps.

But, can you anticipate
your Bat-men's thoughts?

[ Gasping ]
The air!

Contact the power plant.

I want them brought back here.

Immediately, Lord Dregg.

The control chip
should be on the motherboard.

This will be Dregg's undoing.

There are four search parties
out looking for Shredder
and Krang now, Lord Dregg.

Very well.

It's time to plan
my attack on Earth...

and punish its inhabitants
for their inferiority.

There's a wealth of evil
in Krang's memories.

Wait!
That's it!

I know how to conquer
Earth and the galaxy.

Mung!
Switch on
the virtual reality simulator.

As you wish, my lord.

I'll input the data
directly from my brain.

The simulator will tell us
if my plan will work.

I'll use
the vortex transporter...

to transport
a piece of the sun...

into the heart
of Earth's cities.

Oh.
[ Panting ]
It's incredible.

Incredibly brilliant.

And it works.

I'll turn every major city
into a sea of boiling gas...

until they beg me
to take their planet.

And if they refuse?

I'll turn the Earth
into another sun.

But they won't refuse.

And neither will any
of the other inhabited planets
in this sector.

Soon the entire galaxy
will be mine!

Lock targeting coordinates
onto the largest city
in the United States.

It is done, Lord Dregg.
[ Beeping ]

Now, to transport
a piece of the sun...

into the center
of the city.

[ Laughs ]

Yes. Any second now,
a piece of the sun...

will be transported
into the center of the city.

[ Gasps ]
Something's wrong, my lord.

The transporter
isn't responding.

That's impossible.

You underestimated
the intelligence of Shredder.

[ Beeping ]

He's right, Lord Dregg.

Shredder has taken
the subspace
amplification chip.

We can't transport anything
over 1,000 miles without it.

Without that chip,
my plans are worthless!

Lord Dregg, you can still--
[ Gulps ]
take over the Earth.

Then when we've got
the chip back--

[ Coughs ]
you can conquer
the galaxy.

Hmm. I'm listening.

Ohh, oh!
[ Clears Throat ]

We can dematerialize
out of Earth's structures...

and transport it
to the power plant,

where the Microbots
can rebuild it
into an invasion force.

Very well.
Proceed with the plan.

And send out
another four patrols
to find Shredder and Krang.

I want that chip!

Hmm.
According to my
Turtlecom tracker,

Dregg's vortex transporter
is in that nuclear power plant.

Oh, this must be
the transporter control.

Now, if I can just lock
onto the Dreggnaught.

Where are the controls
so I can shut down
the force fields?

- Over there!
- [ Exclaims ]

Say good-bye
to your reptile friends,
Earthman.

I never should have neutralized
my mutation.
I'm helpless without it.

[ Straining ]
Carter, use the skills
Splinter taught you.

Save... yourself.

[ Carter ]
No! I've gotta get you out!

Looking for me?

[ Krang ]
Haven't got much time.

Be still.
I know what to do.

What's wrong, Carter?

April and the guys
are in prison
on Dregg's ship.

I can't help them
without my mutant powers.

I never should have
neutralized my mutation.

Carter, you have all
the power you need within you,

including your mutant powers.

What are you talking about?
Donatello's ray--

Only neutralized the mutagen,
but your genes have been
permanently altered.

That means I still
may be able to mutate.
But how?

How does the chameleon
change its color?

Ah, it's no use.
I can't do it.

Do not despair, Carter.

When the power is needed,
the power will be there.

They're not going to make it
if I don't get them help soon.

If that Bat-man's
as dumb as he looks,
I may have one chance.

[ Groans ]
There's no more air in my cell!

I-I-I can't breathe!
[ Screams ]

[ Screams ]
Sleep tight, sweetheart.

Come on, guys!
I gotta get you out of here!

[ All Groan ]

Where are you taking us?

Hopefully somewhere safer
than here.

I can't wait any longer to see
if I'm gonna mutate, Sensei.

I've gotta get
back to the Dreggnaught
and rescue the others.

Bringing the others home
is not bringing
them back to health.

I know.
But they need
a life energy transfusion.

Where am I gonna find
more mutant turtles?

In time,
you shall find
your answer.

But I don't have the time.

That's it!
Time!

Now, if I can bounce
a radio message...

off the star


it should return to Earth


If my calculations are correct,
help should arrive any second.

Landor! Merrik!

We used our time device
to bring us here as soon
as we got your message...

that the Turtles
were in trouble.

- How can we help?
- I've gotta get the guys
a transfusion...

from four live
mutant turtles.

Can you go back in time
and bring the Turtles
of the past back to the present?

Yes, we can,
but there is one thing
you must know.

Having two sets of Turtles here
at one time will set up
a time warp paradox.

If we don't return
the past Turtles to their
normal time within 24 hours,

both the past
and present Turtles
will cease to exist.

[ Sighs ]
We'll have to take
that chance.

Very well.
Stand back.

No!
You can't do this to me!

Sure we can.
Sayonara, dude.

[ Screams ]

Huh?
Whoa!
Who are you dudes?

There's no time to explain.
You've got to come with us
to the future.

Where are Donatello
and Raphael?

Prepare for your end, reptiles!

[ Screaming ]

Hands in the air, guys!

Donatello, Raphael,
we must go, quickly.

Uh, sorry.
You must tell us
who you are, quickly.

And if we don't like
what we hear, we will trash you
even more quickly.

Not before I fry you,
Turtles!

[ Screaming ]

I can't hold on!
[ Screams ]

Leonardo!

[ All Screaming ]

[ All Grunting ]

Whoa, what happened?
Where are we?
You're in the lair.

Yes, we are.
But, um--
Do we know you?

Sure you know me, man.
I mean, you will.

In exactly two years
and 15 days.

Who are you?
I'm Landor.
This is Merrik.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Time out.
You lost me with that first turn
you took into the twilight zone.

It's simple really.

We're time travelers.
This is your future.

That's impossible!
Isn't it?

Uh, well,
according to Einstein--

Look, we don't have time
for a lecture
on the theory of relativity.

We've gotta stop
Shredder and Krang...

before they get
the Technodrome
out of Dimension X!

Do not worry, Leonardo.

You will destroy
the Technodrome.

How do you know, Sensei?

I know because I am
the sensei of your future.

Your future selves
are trapped
in an alien ship.

Unless you help us get them
a life energy transfusion,
they won't make it.

It's true.

This isn't our time continuum.

No. And if you stay here
more than 24 hours,

you will cease to exist.

And I thought
turning into a pumpkin
was a drag.

We've got to get back
to our time.

If you need us,
just bounce another message
off a star.

Come on!
I'll fill you in
on the way.

[ Dregg ]
Mung, any sign
of Shredder and Krang?

Not yet, my lord.
But the transporter is ready
to extract the steel.

Very well.
Proceed.

Thank you, Shredder.
I've got my strength again.

Good. Now all we have to do
is get rid of that
brain-draining Dregg,

and the world will be ours
for the taking!

- What?
- No! Oh, no.

[ Shouts ]

[ Carter ]
The nuclear power plant
is up ahead.

Whoa, dudes.
What's that?

Hang on!

Whoa, dude, cool landing.

[ Groans ]
It was pretty trashy
if you ask me.

[ Leonardo ]
At least we're headed downriver
toward the power plant.

Go!
Build Lord Dregg an army
of invasion craft!

[ Groans ]
I think it's this way.

Please, April.
Can't I just pull my shell
over my head...

and take a nap
for a few eons?

Sorry, Raphael.

I've got to get you all
back to Earth.

Guys!
I think I found
the transporter room!

Something's... not right.

[ Leonardo ]
This isn't the transporter room.

No, it's a...
fusion engine.

[ Groans ]

There's no way out!

If Dregg starts the engines,
we're turtle vapor.

Get ready!

What are those legs?
There's no time
to worry about that now.

I'll set
the transporter coordinates.

You guys take care
of the guards.

Hey, who checked out
and made him the big cheese?

According to Splinter, we did.
Our future selves.

Guards!

Guys!
Go for the transporter!

Cowabunga!

[ Leonardo ]
Wow! And I thought
the Technodrome was awesome.

Follow me!

April?

Please, tell me you didn't
yank us out of the past
just for this.

Well, you--
Uh, I mean,
they couldn't have gotten far.

[ Michelangelo ]
Well, that's really reassuring.

Sorry, they're not
behind Door Number 2 either.

You may have escaped
my force fields, reptiles,

but you won't escape again!

[ All ]
Whoa!

Do we know that dude?

No, and I don't want to.

You can't withstand
my power, fools.

Fire drill!

[ Screams ]

Come on, Carter!
Mutate!

Sorry, no go on Door Number 3.

Let's get that alien twerp!

Foolish creatures.

I've only been toying with you.

Now, you shall feel
the wrath of Dregg!

Whoa!
[ Moans ]

I won't miss this time.

No!

You shall be the first
to enter oblivion.

Whoa!

I hope this Carter dude's
really on our side.

Oh, no. No!
The engine's starting!

Hang in there,
mutant dude!

Turtle cavalry's on the way!

Ah!
[ Sighs ]

April, divert the fusion stream
into the engine wall.

No!

[ Shouting ]

[ Sighs ]

Carter,
you did it!

Yo, those dudes
sure look like us.

Michelangelo,
they are us.

Oh, that would explain
the resemblance.

Either there's a mirror
on the ceiling,

or I'm having a major
out-of-shell experience.

[ Carter ]
Come on, guys.
Let's get 'em out of here.

Get them onto the platform!

[ April ]
Home, safe.

Oh, no, we're not!

[ Metallic Screeching ]
