[Opening sequence and theme song.]
[Open on an electronics store display window. The television is on.]
Broadcaster "Channel 6 is back on the air and we need your help to catch the criminals who destroyed our station - The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Call our toll free Turtle tipline."
[The Turtles drive past the store in their Turtle Van and stop on a street farther along. April arrives in her car to meet them. She is carrying her mini-camera.]
April O'Neil "Okay, guys, what's the plan?"
Leonardo "The plan is to get inside that building."
April "The Hall of Science from the old World's Fair?"
Michelangelo "That freaked-out alien Berserko was using it as his headquarters."
Raphael "And now we think Shredder and Krang have moved in."
Leonardo "If they're in there we're gonna get them."
April "And I'll get it all on tape and prove to the world that Shredder's the real menace, not you four."
Donatello "Hey, I'm picking up strong energy readings coming from the pavilion. Somebody's in there all right."
Raphael "Yeah, but is it Krang and Shred-Head?"
Leonardo "Only one way to find out."
[Three of the Turtles as well as April approach the building on foot, while Donatello drives behind them in the van. Before they reach the entrance, someone on an upper floor begins firing on them.]
Raphael "Suddenly I don't feel very lucky."
[He dances away from the lasers and everyone runs.]
Leonardo "Look out! Look out!"
[On top of the building, Bebop and Rocksteady are pushing a large catapult. Bebop loads a canister into the catapult seat.]
Rocksteady "Snap it up Bebop, we got Turtles."
Bebop "Armed and ready."
Rocksteady "Heads up you crummy Turtles."
[They activate the catapult, which flings the explosive canister. It hits the ground in front of the Turtles.]
Bebop "Boy, is this gizmo ever great."
[Bebop loads a piece of machinery into the catapult.]
Rocksteady "Try ducking this one stinking Shellbacks."
[They fling the object. Donatello is driving away, but the object flies after him.]
Donatello "What on earth is that thing?"
[He takes evasive maneuvers and the object misses the van, hits the street, and explodes.]
Raphael "Oh, just what those goons needed; a new toy."
Leonardo "I say we take it away from them."
Raphael "And I'm way ahead of you."
[He throws a sai. The automated lasers target the weapon and blast it. Michelangelo quickly tosses his Turtle Line up to the roof and wraps it around an antenna.]
Michelangelo "Cowabunga!
Whoa!
Aah!
Whoa, short trip."
[He grabs on the line and starts swinging.]
Whoa!
[The laser cuts the line and he falls.]
Aah!
[He hits the wall and falls back.]
Whoa, short trip."
Leonardo "Ah, we're wasting our time. Let's just get inside the building."
[He and Raphael charge towards the front door.]
Rocksteady "Bebop, load the shield thingy."
[Bebop places another device into the catapult and they fling it down in front of the entrance. Floating in mid-air, it begins firing lasers in all directions.]
Raphael "Face it, Leonardo, it ain't happening."
Leonardo "Oh, we better clear out before one of us catches a laser beam."
[Donatello swings by and picks them up in the van. He drives back to April’s waiting car.]
April "I got it all on tape. But I don't think it's going to convince Burne of anything."
Donatello "So now what?"
Leonardo "We head home to figure out a way of getting inside that place."
[Inside the Hall of Science.]
Krang "What are you worrying about, Shredder? We just beat the Turtles."
Shredder "Yes, but sooner or later they'll find a way past our defenses."
Krang "Don't be so sure about that. Thanks, to the equipment Berserko left behind, I'm about to restore communication with Dimension X. We'll have the Technodrome at our command once more."
Shredder "And I say we must stop the Turtles, before they stop us. I'm going to seek out an old friend of mine in the sewers."
[Krang manages to open communications with Dimension X.]
Krang "General Traag, it is I."
Traag "Lord Krang, thank Zorg you were not captured."
Krang "That's the only thing that hasn't happened to me. But what about the Technodrome?"
Traag "Bad news, sire. When the Technodrome was blown back into Dimension X it fell into a black hole. The intense gravity has kept it trapped here, and all of us inside it."
Krang "Not even Beserko's resources would be sufficient to free the Technodrome from a black hole."
Traag "We have the dimensional portal if there is anything here that could be of use to you, my lord."
Krang "In all the time it was stranded on Earth, I stripped the Technodrome's armaments clean. But there is one very special weapon I've not yet used; the Shock Wave."
Traag "The Shock Wave? But-- But-- It is your personal weapon. The ability to use it proves that you alone are supreme warlord of Dimension X."
Krang "And I can't use it without a body. I know. But this Shock Wave can give me supremacy over this miserable world. Even if I have to allow Shredder to use it."
Traag "Oh, very well, my lord. I shall make the preparations."
[Cut to the sewer tunnels.]
Shredder "All these weapons are yours if you will do as I ask."
Rat King "This hardware will make me master of the sewers. But not master of the city above."
Shredder "That can be arranged. We've been working on a new mutagen. It can make your pets invincible."
Rat King "Then I want it!"
Shredder "All in good time. First, complete this task."
Rat King "Those Turtles have been fouling up these sewers for too long now. It'll be a pleasure putting them out of the way."
