History[]
Time Travelling Turtles[]
As Donatello walks through the lair, he thinks about how bored he is and wishes he had something to do. Suddenly, Renet appears in front of him and shoves a short rod into his hands, telling him to take it and if a big monster comes looking for it to hide. She vanishes just as quickly as she appeared. Don goes to tell his brothers what happened, and accidentally activates the rod, which sends all four of them back to the Cretaceous period. After hiding from the dinosaurs in a cave for a short time, the Turtles come out to explore. Renet abruptly appears again and tells the Turtles that she's been looking everwhen for them. She asks them for the time wand, but they stare at her in puzzlement. Thinking they are slow witted, she asks that they take her to their leader. Renet then explains that the rod she gave Don is a portable time travel device and Raphael angrily replies that they noticed. She snaps back that they weren't supposed to use it and Raph tells her they didn't mean to.
Renet then tells them to give it back, but unfortunately, Don realizes that he must have left it in the cave. Raph yells at him to go get it and Don tells him to relax because he's sure nothing has happened to it. Meanwhile, in the cave, a prehistoric monkey called Mr. Troglodyte has found the time rod. He accidentally activates it, and it zaps him into the lair right in front of Splinter. When Don announces that someone took the time rod, Renet moans that she hopes it wasn't the evil time warrior Savanti. She says that he'll use it for bogus stuff.
Donatello tells Renet that since they lost the time wand, she'll have to take them home without it. However, Renet informs him that she can't. She travelled to the Cretaceous period via a stationary unidirectional time portal and was going to use the wand to take them home. Without it, she explains, they are stuck in this time zone. She has no idea how they can possibly find the time wand because it could be anywhere or anywhen.
Mr. Troglodyte then appears behind Renet and begins ‘talking’ to her with a series of "ooks". He offers her the time wand, and she thanks him before racing off to tell the Turtles that she got it back. Mr. Troglodyte breaks the fourth wall to say that all she had to do was ask politely. The excited Turtles are zapped home by Renet, leaving behind a disgruntled Mr. Troglodyte, who is left cleaning up their litter. When they are once again in the New York City sewers, the Turtles go to thank her, but don't know her name. This is when she finally tells them she is called Renet and says that she forgot that they all met in her past but it was their future. Renet says that if you're not careful, time travel is baffling.
Renet tells them she has to take the time rod back to the future. Since apparently Savanti has given up the chase, she’s in the clear. Renet says she'll bop into the next millennium and put the time rod in some safe place. She then bids them good-bye and zaps herself away.
