[LEONARDO]
Once again, where are we
going, Donatello?

Okay, here it is again.

Now, April called from
the old Floxy Theater.

She said there was
something there
we ought to see.

Hey, dudes, here's April
on the tube now.

This is April O'Neil,
Channel 6 News,

at the famous
Floxy Music Hall,

which will soon be reopening
as a new wave dance club,

but not if the so-called
Phantom of the Floxy,

who, according to legend,

has haunted this grand old
theater for decades,

has anything
to say about it.

Tell me, sir,
have you encountered
any strange phenomenon

while renovating
the Floxy?

Nope. But I'm not
workin' at the Floxy.

I'm workin'
at the building
across the street.

Ha ha. Well,
there you have it.

The Floxy Music Hall--

still as mysterious
as ever.

[KRANG]
Will you hurry up?

I've conquered
entire dimensions

in the time it's taking you

to repair
the launch computer!

There. It's ready.

I want to show you
my latest invention.

Just what is this
invention of yours?

It's just the thing to...

[IMITATING SHREDDER]
"get us off
this miserable asteroid,"

as you put it.

Behold!
Energy accumulator!

A vacuum cleaner.
Oh, neato.

We could use one of them
around here.

Morons. It's not
a vacuum cleaner!

It's an energy sponge

that will soak up power
from any source.

It is the solution
to our problem.

But, Krang, we have
no power source.

That is
the problem.

Details, details.

Let me worry
about finding the power.

You finish testing
the launch circuits.

Here it is, guys:

the fabulous
Floxy Theater.

Whoa. What a wreck.

Hi, guys.
Glad you could make it.

Hi, April. We just
saw your report.

You weren't serious

about the Floxy being
haunted, were you?

Well, maybe not haunted,

but we are up to our ears
in strange phenomena here.

Mondo mysterioso, dudette.

What was
that glow?

If we knew, would we
be calling you guys?

Hey, Irma,
how are you?
Dudette,
how you doin'?

♪ Hey, there, Ninja Turtles,
and how do you do? ♪

♪ I got a problem
that's just for you ♪

You remember my friend

Howie Hardy,
the songwriter,
don't you?

How could we forget?

Are you
writing a rock opera

about the Floxy,
dude?

Actually, I'm kind of
between songwriting gigs,

so I took this job

computerizing the Floxy's
old pipe organ.

But it's been doing
some strange things,

and we thought you'd
better look at it.

Cowabunga!

Check out that righteous
pipe organ, dudes!

Yes, she is a beauty,
isn't she?

Turtles, this is Eric,
my assistant.

The Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles.

I've heard a lot
about you from Howie.

In song, I'm sure.

I told him we didn't need
any help, but he insisted.

We do need help if we're
gonna turn this organ

into the most fantastic
rock music synthesizer
the world has ever seen.

Isn't he wonderful?

So modest.

Howie, be careful!

You know
what might happen.

What could be worse
than having to hear
him play?

And to hear him sing.

♪♪ [ORGAN]

♪ It shakes the ceiling,
and it rattles your bones ♪

♪ It makes a sound
that'll blow up your homes ♪

♪ Hit the right key,
and you'll think

♪ Here it comes, baby,

[LOUD VIBRATING]

Excellent! How'd you
pull that off, dude?

I don't know, and that's
part of the problem.

Heads up, buds!
It's raining balcony!

Aah! Watch out!

Donatello, follow me.

Raphael, Michelangelo,
take care of our friends.

Low and inside.

Yeah, put it
into the bleachers.

Howie, for Pete's sake,
shut that thing off!

That's
the other part
of the problem.

I can't.

[ALARM BLARES]

"Launch test sequence
aborted"?

Shredder, you incompetent!

You were supposed
to fix it!

Some sort of signal
from Earth

is causing
the interference.

It wont be
difficult to trace.

I'll do it.
At the rate
you're going,

you'll tune in some

silly cartoon show.

Look, Krang. The rays
from that organ

caused the launch computer
to malfunction.

But that organ
is spitting out

incredible energy
as well.

The energy accumulator
could draw enough
power from it

to launch
the Technodrome!

I'll get down there
at once.

What? The turtles?
They're always in my way.

It is their show,
you know.

This only happens
when I play
certain chords.

But I never know
in advance which
chord will cause it.

Let me try.

[MACHINERY HUMMING STOPS]

Eric, did you
do that?

Yeah. Uh, maybe.
I mean,

I'm not sure
what I did.

Eric is fantastic
with computers.

Can you show me
what you did, Eric?

Maybe I can
figure it out.

Uh, maybe later.

I've, uh, got
something to do.

Helpful, isn't he?

You know how weird
these electronic
geniuses can be.

We'd better adjust
that mirrored ball

so it deflects
those rays upward

through that hole
and out into space.

Gnarly notion, dude.

That way,
they won't harm
innocent bystanders.

Right-- like us.

All you have to do
is find the right
combination

of notes on the organ
to produce those rays,

direct them
into the accumulator,

then bring it
back here.

Uhh! I don't remember
volunteering to do
any remodeling.

You almost
got it, Dude.

There. Now,
let's get down
from here.

That's what
people think

the Phantom
of the Floxy
looked like, Irma.

So, what's a weird
guy like him doing
in a place like this?

♪ He's the Phantom
of the Floxy ♪

♪ 'Cause he's got
a lot of moxie ♪

♪ Now he spends his day
just hangin' around ♪

♪ And lurkin' ♪

[ECHO]

♪ In the theater ♪

♪ Where he used

♪ Ready with epoxy ♪

♪ If he has to fix

The Phantom.

That irritating little weasel

really would make
a song out of anything.

Of course!
That's it!

[GASPS] It is?
Where?

The way to get
to the organ without
the turtles' interference.

I'll disguise myself
as the Phantom.

We'll search the basement
of this theater

for an appropriate
costume at once.

Aha! The perfect disguise.

Come. Let us greet
our friends the turtles

and destroy them.

This is
the strangest-looking

pipe organ
I've ever seen!

Yeah,
it sure is.

Of course,
it's the only pipe organ
I've ever seen.

Hey! What do you
think you're doing?!

What's the matter, Eric?

You'd better
get out of here.

The construction crew's
coming back from lunch.

We'll come back
after hours, when
the coast is clear.

What's all this mess?

You been knockin'
this stuff down
without a union card?

Uh...well,
not exactly.

Don't give me that.

Who else
coulda done it,
the Phantom?

No...
but I might!

Look!

Leave this place
at once,

or know the wrath
of the Phantom
of the Floxy.

[ALL GASP]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Ha ha ha
ha ha ha!

[SHOUTING, SCREAMING]

Hear me, all of you!

Leave my beloved Floxy,

or face dire consequences!

Ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha!

There really is
a Phantom of the Floxy!

That's impossible!
Uh, I mean,
you're right.

You have been warned.

[SHOUTING, YELLING]

Look out!

Aaahh!
Aaahh!

Now to get those workers
out of here for good.

Ahh...uhh!

Aaahh!
Aaahh!

Oh, no! Howie!

He hit
the organ table!

[ELECTRONIC HUMMING]
Oops.

[ELECTRONIC ZAPPING]

Hey! What the--
Hey!

[SHOUTING, CHATTER]

April to turtles!
Come in!

What's happening,
April?

The Phantom's real!
And he's here!

And the organ's firing
those rays again!

We're on our way!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[ELECTRONIC ZAPPING]

That ought to keep them
away from here long enough.

[BEEP BEEP BEEP]

What is it, Krang?

Shredder, what
are you doing?!

I'm getting readings
from that organ,

but no energy
to the accumulator!

And why are you wearing
that ridiculous costume?

I had to scare
the workmen away,

but I'm going to try
the organ now.

Well, hurry up!
I've conquered--

I know, I know.
You've conquered
entire dimensions

in less time.

Then how come
you're just
a blob of brains

in a scrap-metal
body, Krang?

Well, if you're going
to be insulting...

You will know
when I've succeeded.

[BEEP]

Come on, turtles!
Let's get a look
at this Phantom.

♪♪ [PLAYS DESCENDING CHORDS]

Oh, I wish
I'd paid more attention
to my piano teacher.

[APRIL]
Oh, thank goodness
you're here, guys!

There's
the Phantom now!

Blast those turtles!

You will never destroy
my beloved Floxy.

He's getting away!

Come on! Let's go!

What's down
there, Howie?

The place is
a real rabbit warren

of basements
and passageways.

You'll never
find him.

Uh, uh, uh!

With this, my new
improved tracking
module,

we can find
the Phantom.

You see, it locks
onto specific shapes.

It can track them
anywhere.

Whoa! Way
cool, dude!

That blip looks just
like the Phantom's mask.

Well, that's the idea.
And the image gets bigger

the closer we get to him.

[RAPID BEEPING]
That way!

[BEEPING]

[SUSTAINED BEEP]

There's
a strong signal
this way!

[BEEPING]

Oh...their tracker
must be defective.

They're walking
right past me.

It's time to find out
what's happening

with the energy
accumulator.

Those mutant morons
should have it

assembled by now.

You and that
nerd pal of yours

are responsible
for all that mess
in there.

No, Al. It was
the Phantom!

It was that organ,
and you're the ones

been tinkerin' with it.

You're fired,
both of youse.

It'll be
all right, Howie.

Come on, Howie.
We'll take you
home.

Good idea, April.
My Howie's
in no condition

to brave the subway.

♪ I got fired, but
it ain't my fault ♪

Uh-- Let's see.
Fault.

Fault, vault,
taut, malt,
salt-- No. No.

He must not be himself
if he's having trouble
coming up with a song.

I should tell Eric
what happened.

I'm sure Al
will let him know.

[MOTOR STARTS]

According to
the tracking module,

the Phantom is
right near here.

Huh?

There's a dozen masks.
What does that mean?

I...don't know.

I've never seen it
do that before.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, maybe there's
a daddy Phantom,

a mommy Phantom,
and a bunch
of baby Phantoms.

Be careful, guys.
We're very close.

Michelangelo,
what are you doing?

I've got
your Phantom,
dude.

[MODULE BEEPING RAPIDLY]

Here's Phantom
number one.

Here's number two...
and three...four...

five...six...

My tracker locked
onto the masks,
all right,

but not the Phantom.

Oh, you read
the directions
the last time.

It's your turn
to put the gizmo
together.

Is not.

Is, too.

[STRUGGLING GRUNTS]

Hi, guys.

The turtles!

And I was thinki''
this trip to earth

would be different.

[ELECTRONIC ZAPPING]

Look out!
Ohh!

Ta-da, dudes!

It's always
the same old thing.

We hear the turtles,
attack the turtles,

see the turtles...

Look out!
Aaaahh!

...get clobbered

[BOTH]
...by the turtles.

So that's what
those two have
in common.

Whoa! That's
a really high-tech
vacuum cleaner, amigo.

It's not
a vacuum cleaner.
It's--

It's mine!

The Phantom!

So you, too,
would take
from the Phantom

what is
rightfully his.

Oh, spare us
the voice of doom bit,
masked man.

It's four against one.

No reason you
should fear him.

He's a fraud!

Two of them?

He's the imposter!

I'm the real
Phantom of the Floxy!

♪ We're back ♪

Uh...don't look
now, guys, but

I think
the odds just got
a little evener.

Hey, we live for danger.

You...are an imposter!

There's only one
Phantom of the Floxy!

Quite so...and it is I!

Ain't that,
"It is me," Boss?

Quiet, you numbskulls.

I recognize
that voice.

That Phantom
is Shredder!

Then...who's
the other one?

Whoa!

[CHATTER,
SHOUTING]

We'll take care
of you shellbacks.

Think again, dudes.

Eat scenery!

Yaaahhh!

Whoa!

I'll have these guys
rolling in the aisles.

Look out!

Whoa!

Yaahh!
Aah!

We'll deal with
these turtles later.

We must complete
the energy accumulator.

Right, Boss.

We've gotta find out
what Shredder's up to.

You two
follow Shredder.

We'll find out who
this Phantom is.

There's
that Phantom dude!

We've got you now.

Ohh!

Oh, that Phantom
is one solid dude.

He's above us!

Enough!
Enough, already!

I give up!

Eric?
Eric?

Well, yes...
and no.

Well, we lost
Shredder, but
we tracked the Phantom

with my tracking
module, and--

Who is that?

Uh, maybe you
should ask
what is that.

Actually,
my name is Erk.

I'm from
a planet far away
from your earth. Here.

My race has the ability
to change our shape.

So when my spaceship
crash-landed here


I chose the Phantom guise
to keep my secret.

The pipe organ
is your ship!

So, like,
what were those rays,
little blue dude?

I don't know.
Howie did something
to the organ...

or, the ship...
when I wasn't there.

And now I don't know
how to repair it.

I'll bet those rays
are what brought
Shredder here.

I can't allow
my ship to fall
into the wrong hands.

There aren't
any wronger hands
than Shred-head's, amigos.

Guys, we need to have
a little chat with Howie.

[DOG BARKS]

You did what?

I used the leftover
alien microchips

in the Floxy's
pipe organ.

That means those chips
are also power cells.

If I cross-circuit
the star drive
intermix matrix

with the flex capacitor,
it might work!

Where'd you get
those microchips, Howie?

Well...
it's a long story.

But here's
a short flashback.

They came from
some alien computer

that Shredder
and Krang
got hold of.

They almost brought
the Technodrome
back to earth

because of those chips.

I'm sorry, guys,
but they made
such beautiful music.

I couldn't bear
to part with them.

Well, you're gonna
help Erk rig them

before Shredder
helps himself
to them.

Erk? Who's that?
