[Opening sequence and theme song.]
[Open inside a large hangar. The entry door is suddenly blown out and both Demonicus and Seizure enter. Seizure talks to his boss on a communication device.]
Seizure "Titanus, we're in."
Titanus "Good work, Seizure. Let me know when you have the place secured."
Seizure "Let's hit the lights."
[He pulls the light switch and both a room full of machinery and the Ninja Turtles are revealed.]
Raphael "Surprise, dirtbags."
Seizure "Ah, the Turtles."
Demonicus "How did they get here?"
[He fires an energy beam from his fingertips. Leonardo bats them away with his katana.]
Leonardo "You shouldn't have shown us H.A.V.O.C.'s underground base, horn head."
Donatello "We've been trailing you birdbrains for days."
[Raptor flies down and breaks through the skylight.]
Raptor "Somebody mention birds?"
[He swoops down and grabs Raphael by his belt.]
Raphael "It's Raptor. Put me down, you overstuffed pigeon."
Raptor "As you wish."
[He drops Raphael, who bounces off a desk chair and lands on his feet. Donatello wrestles for his bō with Seizure, who takes it from the Turtle.]
Seizure "Now let's have a real battle."
[He snaps the bō in half. Seizure tosses the pieces aside and then he and Donatello fall to the floor wrestling. Raptor flies overhead, shooting at the Turtles with a ray gun. He comes down to the floor near Leonardo, who chops the weapon into pieces. Raptor tries to fly away and Leonardo grabs onto his ankles.]
Leonardo "Going somewhere, beak face?"
[Raptor takes to the air with Leonardo hanging on.]
Raptor "As if a turtle could ever catch a bird of prey."
[Meanwhile, Michelangelo is examining an engine mounted on a stand.]
Michelangelo "Whoa, slick piece of machinery."
[Raptor throws Leonardo down on the floor next to where Michelangelo is standing.]
Leonardo "Michelangelo, you wanna give us a hand?"
Donatello "Or several hands?"
Michelangelo "No problemo. Just let me see how this thing works."
Leonardo "Michelangelo, no."
[Michelangelo flips the engine on. It fires up and flies off of the stand.]
Leonardo "Get down!"
Michelangelo "Look out!"
[The jet propelled engine zooms around. It flies between Donatello and Seizure, who runs over to join his H.A.V.O.C. team members.]
Seizure "Come on. Let's beat it while we have the chance."
[The Turtles watch the machine and then Raphael pulls a sai.]
Raphael "Eight ball in the intake manifold."
[He throws the sai and hits the engine, which blows up. The Turtles run outside, but the other mutants have vanished.]
Michelangelo "So, like, where'd they go?"
Raphael "Hm? Oh, they got away. Uh, thanks to you."
Michelangelo "Me? What'd I do?"
Donatello "You were goofing off when you should have been helping us."
[The mutant trio have returned to H.A.V.O.C. Headquarters and receive a chastising from Titanus.]
Titanus "So, the Turtles defeated you, did they? I have finally found my missing Flux Transformer, the one thing that will make us mutants masters of time and space travel. But it's stored on a military base, surrounded by enough firepower to stop an army of mutants.
In order to get it, we need to build the Sky Platform.
But I cannot build it while those wretched Turtles stand in my way. They must have a weakness."
[A computer monitor displays the military base.]
In order to get it, we need to build the Sky Platform.
[He switches the monitor to show a set of plans.]
But I cannot build it while those wretched Turtles stand in my way. They must have a weakness."
Raptor "They do. Humans."
Titanus "You're right. For some unknown reason, those Turtles will go to any length to protect their inferiors. What we need is something to distract them, a disaster of epic proportions. [laughs] And I'm the master of disaster."
[Down in the sewer tunnels…]
Leonardo "We would have caught those mutants if you hadn't been goofing off, Michelangelo."
Michelangelo "I just wanted to see how that jet engine worked, dude."
Raphael "Oh, so you couldn't have waited until after we caught the bad guys, huh?"
Donatello "You gotta start taking things more seriously, Michelangelo."
Michelangelo "Relax, compadres. I take our battles as seriously as I take everything else."
[They enter the Turtle Lair.]
Leonardo "That's just what worries me."
[Michelangelo heads into his room.]
Leonardo "Michelangelo sure has been acting distracted lately."
Donatello "Oh, yeah. He has. But we have other things to worry about too, like what did those mutants want in an aerospace plant?"
Raphael "I don't know, but my sixth sense tell me it has something to do with flying."
Leonardo "Maybe there's some special piece of technology they need."
Raphael "Yeah, or maybe they wanted the plant itself, to build something."
Donatello "I'm gonna do a little investigating with my computer."
[Back at H.A.V.O.C. Headquarters, Titanus meets with an escaped criminal.]
Titanus "I suppose you're wondering why my associates broke you out of jail."
Criminal "Uh, yeah. That had crossed my mind."
Titanus "Who was responsible for your being arrested in the first place?"
Criminal "It was those stinkin' Turtles."
Titanus "And what would you say if I could give you the power to pay back the Turtles for what they did to you?"
Criminal "I'd say, when do we start?"
Titanus "Right now. Just lie down and make yourself comfortable.
There, my friend. You are now Synapse, a creature of pure energy."
[The man hops up on a lab table. Titanus activates a machine that transforms the man.]
There, my friend. You are now Synapse, a creature of pure energy."
Synapse "I feel energetic, all right."
Titanus "I want you to find the turtles and keep them occupied, put them out of the way permanently, if you can."
Synapse "Sounds good to me."
[He transforms into an energy pulse and enters a computer. In his workshop at the lair, Donatello is at his computer.]
Donatello "I don't get it. There's nothing unusual about that aerospace plant, except that it's fully automated."
