[SIREN WAILING]

Ah, this is the life,
eh, Raphael?

I don't know. The rest of the
world gets to go to the beach,

but we have to swim
in the sewer.

Look on the bright side,

at least
we won't get sunburned.

I'm gonna do some serious
surfing.

Uh, Michelangelo, I don't think
you're gonna catch

any major curls down here.

Maybe not, but at least
I can catch a current.

Cowabunga!

Ah, there's nothing
like catching a wave

to take a turtle's mind
off his problems.

By giving him an even worse
problem to worry about!

[COUGHING]

[GRUNTS]

Thanks for saving my life,
dude.

Uh, who are you anyway?

How rude of me.

I am Alim Coelacanth.

Alim Who-lacanth?

Coelacanth.

My name comes from
the prehistoric species of fish

to which I am related.

Holy guacamole!

You're like a-- A...

Merdude.

Dudes, dudes!

You'll never guess
what I just met.

No, wait.
A Teenage Mutant Ninja Wombat.

Uh-uh. A merdude.

A what?

His name is Alim Corolla. Koala.

I mean, he's just a merdude.

He's got this big tail
and gills and--

Michelangelo, are you sure you
haven't had one too many pizzas?

Greetings, strange creatures.

[GIGGLES]

There. See? I told you.

Wow. Who, uh--? What are you?

I am Alim Coelacanth,

from the city of Atlantis.

Atlantis?

But that's
just a myth.

Not necessarily.

The Greek philosopher Plato

described the sinking
of Atlantis

in the 4th century B.C.

But I thought the Atlanteans
were, I don't know, human.

They are.
All except me.

Well, how did you wind up
in the sewers?

I left Atlantis
to travel the oceans

in the search of others
of my kind.

Wow. Did you find any?

Alas, no.

This underground river
was the one place

I hadn't searched.

In fact, I really should be
getting home.

Well, how long have you been
away from Atlantis, dude?

Uh, well, let's see.
What time is it now?

[MUMBLES]

About 200 years.

Whoa.
Are you ever late for dinner.

Yes, I really must
hurry back.

Uh, you wouldn't know
which direction Atlantis is in,

would you?
Uh, no.

But if you'd like, we can
try and help you find it.

I'd really appreciate it.
I've been gone so long.

All right.
Let's do it.

Yeah, I hear Atlantis is lovely
at this time of year.

If there are any kind of energy
readings from Atlantis,

the Porta-Tracker
will pick them up.

Then, please, let's hurry.

[♪♪♪]

KRANG:
I'm picking up
some unusually strong

energy readings, Shredder.

It's coming from
an underwater mountain range

several miles
to the east.

But what is it?

I don't know,
but it might be useful.

Our power reserves are limited,

but we should have enough left
to get the Technodrome there.

This bucket is too slow.

I'll take
Bebop and Rocksteady

out in one
of the amphibious modules.

[♪♪♪]

Boss, look!

SHREDDER:
Incredible.

I'd almost swear this was

the legendary
lost city of Atlantis.

If it is, it contains
untold power and riches.

SHREDDER:
Attention. You have 30 seconds
to open this airlock.

MAN:
Please identify yourselves,
strangers.

SHREDDER:
Let us in willingly,
or we blast our way in.

Let the strangers in.

[ALL MURMURING]

See, boss?

They seem happy to see us.

This is too perfect.

At last.
Our king has come.

Uh, gee, you don't suppose
they mean me.

LEONARDO [PANTING]:
Alim, wait up.

We just can't swim
as fast as you.

MICHELANGELO:
You're tail-propelled
and we're not.

Forgive me. I will call on
some of my friends to help you.

[♪♪♪]

What are we waiting for,
dudes?

Let's hitch a ride.

Cowabunga!

MAN:
For generations, we Atlanteans
have awaited the day

when a strange creature
would come from the sea

and reclaim his throne,
fulfilling our age-old prophecy.

And now he is here.

Hey, no fairs.

I'm a much stranger creature
than he is.

Quiet, you fool.

Let us return our king
to his throne.

No, wait, Malathar.

[ALL GASP]

This thing cannot be
the true king of Atlantis.

But, Hepax Lagamina,

surely he's the strange creature
of which the prophecy speaks.

But look at him.

He's a-a-a pig.

Hey, I resemble that remark.

We'll surely the true king
would be a water-breather.

SHREDDER:
Silence, deceiver!

How dare you question
your king's authority?

Yes, Hepax.
Please show some respect.

How should
your loyal people

deal with this traitor,
Your Majesty?

Well, uh...

[STAMMERS]

Gee, boss. You're the one who's
supposed to give the orders.

Try "Clap her in irons."

Oh, yeah. Heh-heh.

That's a good one.

Clap her in iron.

As the king commands.

No!

Please, listen to me.

This monster is not your king.

[♪♪♪]

Wow.
Guys, there it is.

ALIM:
Atlantis.

There are many underground
canals beneath the city.

They will take us
directly to the palace.

Gee, even Atlantis
has sewers.

Swell. And guess
who gets to swim in 'em?

Again.

MALATHAR:
Behold, Atlanteans!

Your king!

[CROWD CHEERING]

They like me.
They really like me.

Through Bebop,
I'll control all of Atlantis.

[♪♪♪]

W-what's going on?

Who is that on the throne?

LEONARDO: Bebop?
The turtles!

Someone please tell me
this isn't happening.

[♪♪♪]

SHREDDER:
The turtles!

Your Majesty,

do you know
these intruders?

Your Majesty?
That creature is the king?

Listen, you people,

that guy isn't a king.

Boy, I'll say. He couldn't
even pass for a court jester.

These creatures are invaders
who come to plunder your city.

Uh, listen, boss.

Shouldn't I be making
the proclamation?

Well, go ahead, then.

Proclaim.

[STAMMERS]

Clap them in irons!

[CHUCKLES]

I love that one.

We can't follow them
without our breathing equipment.

ROCKSTEADY:
I don't see why

Bebop gets to be king
and I don't.

Ain't I just as nasty,
low-down and sneaky as he is?

Shut up, you fool. Look.

Wowee.

That is one big hunk
of jewelry.

Krang,
are you getting this?

I'm certainly am.

Do you realize what I could do
with that jewel?

Why, I could use it
as a focusing crystal

for our main cannon.

And turn it into
the most powerful heat ray

in the universe.

It's too big for the two of us
to carry alone.

But with Bebop
on the throne,

we can get all the help
we need.

Alim,
if you used to live here,

how come
none of the Atlanteans

seem to recognize you?

I left Atlantis before any
of their grandparents were born.

DONATELLO:
This machinery seems almost
as big as the city itself.

ALIM:
Bigger. It's part
of the Hammer of Atlantis.

But what's it all for?
It's part of the city's--

HEPAX:
Let me out. Somebody let me out!

It's coming from the dungeons.

Get off your tail.

We've got work to do.

Uh, boss. You are are not
really addressing me

with the respect a potentate
of my stature deserves.

[GROANS]
Get to move on

before I pound you
into the ground like a tent peg.

Uh, guards.

[♪♪♪]

Oh, what in the seven seas
are you?

I guess they don't get TV
down here, huh?

You-- You-- You are...

Alim Coelacanth.

You must be the true king
of Atlantis.

Me? I'm no king.

But you are the strange creature
of which the prophecy speaks.

I know it.

Uh-huh. Yeah. I'm beginning
to see how Bebop got the gig.

Look, I don't want
to be a king,

but that pig
must be usurped

before he corrupts
the whole city.

Then you must challenge him
to meet you

in the Atlantean arena.

Of course.

The traditional place
for resolving disputes.

If you get me out of here,
I can help you.

Leave that to us.

[♪♪♪]

Uh, anybody got a skeleton key?

[♪♪♪]

By the way,
who are you?

My name is Hepax Lagamina,

one who is faithful
to the true king of Atlantis.

You won't get away this time.

[♪♪♪]

MICHELANGELO:
They're following us!

This way.
Come on.

That's it. Keep bowing.

Nice and low.

Oh, it ain't fair.

How come I can't be king?

I guess Bebop's got
that commanding presence,

that regal bearing,
that royal demeanor...

[SOBBING]
...and I don't.

[SOBBING]

So help me,
you insufferable pork-brain!

Silence!
I'm the boss now, Shred-Head.

[LAUGHS, SNORTS]

That does it. Krang. Krang!

KRANG:
Oh, what?

Send a squad of Foot Soldiers
to Bebop's room

and burn everything in it.

Huh? My action figures?

My bubblegum cards?

[GASPS]

My comic-book collection!

Okay, okay. You're the boss,
and I'll do whatever you want.

Then order
a division of guards

to help me remove that
giant jewel under the palace!

You heard him. Go help him
take that big jewel.

But, Your Majesty,

you would let this man
take the Star of Atlantis?

Hey, you got a problem
with that, bub?

Relax, old buddy.
I got a job for you.

Oh, great.
We're outside the city.

And I have a feeling they're
not gonna let us back inside.

[♪♪♪]

[ALL GRUNTING]

Come on, Alim.
Help us out.

Uh, how do you use this thing?

Guys, the tide of battle
is turning against us.

Alim, do something.

My friends of the deep,
help us.

[♪♪♪]

ALIM:
Hold them for half an hour
my friends.

Then let them go.

MICHELANGELO:
Hey, where are those
creepazoids going?

DONATELLO:
I don't know, but somebody
better follow them.

Come on, Raphael.

And you two
had better rescue Hepax.

We're on it.

[♪♪♪]

Hear me,
people of Atlantis.

This creature
is not your true king.

I am so.

Then I challenge you
to prove it

in the Atlantean arena.

I don't have to prove nothing.

[SNORTS]

Clap him in irons.

No, no, Your Majesty.

You see,
a challenge has been issued.

You must meet it
in the arena.

Wait, I must?

Or else you will forfeit
your crown.

LEONARDO:
Okay, Hepax. Now!

Ahem. Guards! Guards, help!

[♪♪♪]

[ALL GRUNTING]

Great, no keys.

Looking for these?

[GRUNTS]

[CROWD CHEERING]

Yeah, okay, fish-face,

say your prayers.

Oh, my.
This isn't much of a weapon.

[GRUNTS]

This is gonna be a cinch.

Ha! You can't fight at all.

And I don't fight fair.

Hurry.
I must have that jewel.

Trying to corner
the diamond market, Shred-Head?

The turtles!

SHREDDER:
That oughta take the starch
outta their shells.

[♪♪♪]

Those two turtles
are finished.

And the jewel is mine.

Boy, lucky for us there was
one of these canal outlets here.

Yeah, but Shredder got
that big crystal.

[BOTH GRUNT]

You must get me out of here.
The king needs me.

MICHELANGELO:
But Rocksteady's got the key.

[GRUNTS]

Michelangelo, let's give him
the old number seven.

Yeah, righteous notion,
dude.

Uh, what's a number seven?

Oh, just follow my lead.

Oh, you stinkin' turtles
will never get past me.

Oh, please.
No more. I beg of you.

Now!

[GRUNTS]

Let's go. Alim's gonna need
all the help you can give him.

Hey, you guys.

What about me?

[CROWD CHEERING]

I won't let you
corrupt Atlantis.

I won't.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Now I'm gonna make
fried fish sticks out of you.

You can do it, Alim.
I believe in you.

You are the true king.

[GRUNTS]

Alim, the Trident of Power.
Get it.

It will only work
for the true king.

Then that's for me.

[GRUNTS]

Now, creature,

admit you are not the king.

[YELPS]

I will not!

Yes, you will.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.
I ain't the king.

Behold. He wields
the Trident of Power.

Alim is the true king.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Well, wake up and smell
the plankton, Your Majesty,

because Shred-Head
stole that big jewel

from the machinery
under the city.

The Star of Atlantis?

We must stop them.

Rocksteady,
what are you doing here?

Waiting for you
to get those keys.

Come on,
we gotta find the boss.

[♪♪♪]

Uh, boss, can I have
my old job back?

I don't wanna be king anymore.

Bow before me,
you sniveling swine.

I'll think about it.

ALIM:
Halt! Release that jewel

and surrender yourselves
at once, deceivers.

I'm afraid I can't give you
the jewel.

But I do have
a parting gift for you.

LEONARDO:
This whole city
is gonna be deep-sixed

if we don't do something.

I have a friend
who may be able to help.

[♪♪♪]

ALIM:
That's it, my friend.
Seal the hole.

You did it. It worked.

Yes, but it's only
a temporary measure.

The dome workers
can repair it later.

Right now, we must get
the Star of Atlantis back.

[♪♪♪]

MICHELANGELO:
All right.

Giddyup, little dogies.

SHREDDER:
We're coming in!

KRANG:
I've had the Foot Soldiers
prepare the main cannon.

All we have to do
is install the crystal.

[♪♪♪]

LEONARDO:
Hey, that thing's starting
to take aim.

KRANG:
Now, to incinerate the city

with a single blast.

RAPHAEL:
It's, uh-- It's aiming upward.

And to the west,
toward the city.

LEONARDO:
Grab it, everyone!

What the blazes!

It missed by a hundred miles.

And the controls
aren't responding.

[SOBS]

DONATELLO:
Uh, Alim, uh, you--?

You wouldn't have,

you know, a friend who could
carry this thing, would you?

As a matter of fact, I do.

MICHELANGELO:
All right!

Let's make waves to Atlantis.

I don't believe it.

Those turtles got the jewel.

Then we'll just have to
get it back.

MALATHAR:
Atlantis,
I give you your true king.

CROWD [CHANTING]:
Hail Alim. Hail Alim.
Hail Alim.

My first decree
as your king

is to name Hepax Lagamina
my royal counselor.

For there is none
in our underwater city

as wise and fair as she.

From now on, people of Atlantis,

I will protect you and we will
live in peace and harmony.

Harmony I'm sure of,

but the peace part
worries me.

What do you mean?
Well, what's to stop Shredder

from just rolling over here
in the Technodrome

and smashing
the city flat?

In a word, dude: nothing.

SHREDDER:
Atlantis, prepare
to meet your doom!

RAPHAEL:
This is hopeless.

We'll never stop him now.

h*-h*. I wouldn't say that.

What the heck?

ALIM:
Behold. The Hammer of Atlantis.

SHREDDER:
Retreat. Retreat!

Something tells me Shredder
won't be bothering you again.

Well, it's time
we were getting home.

And I have arranged
a very special escort

for you, my friends.

MICHELANGELO:
All right!

The greatest creatures
in the whole seven seas.

Dudes, this is the only way
to travel.

Farewell, my friends.

LEONARDO:
Guys, we've had
a lot of adventures,

but this one tops 'em all.

Oh, I'll say.

Exploring
an underwater city,

meeting all sorts
of sea creatures.

Yeah. I wonder if we'll ever see
old Alim again, huh?

I don't know, dudes.

But to make sure
we never forget him,

I've created a new pizza
in his honor.

"The Merdude Special"

Looks fantastic, Michelangelo.
What's on it?

Well, all sorts of gnarly stuff
from the ocean.

Seaweed, kelp, gefilte fish.

Ugh. I don't know
if we'll ever see Alim again,

but I'm gonna have nightmares
about this pizza

for the rest of my life.

[♪♪♪]
