LEONARDO:
Hey, Donatello,

care to join me in the exercise
room for a workout?

Uh, maybe later, Leonardo.

I'm making some adjustments

on the InterDimensional
Early Warning system.

Why? Is there something
wrong with it?

Nothing serious,

I just want to do
a little fine-tuning.

[♪♪♪]

MAN:
Oh, what a boring assignment.

Trying to find some
interesting characters

down here at the docks.

[SCREECHES]
[CRIES OUT]

This part of town
is so creepy.

I just wish we had someone
strong and brave to protect us.

Hey.

I'm here.

That's what I mean.

There. A slight adjustment
to the motion sensor mechanism

and voilà.

The InterDimensional
Early Warning system

is working perfectly.

[ALARMS BLARING]

Wow. Noisy little gadget,
isn't it?

Better safe than sorry,
I always say.

Hey, how's a guy
supposed to get any sack time

with all that racket?

Yeah, dudes, we're growing
teenage boys, remember?

Uh, "turtles," Michelangelo.
Turtles.

Sorry, guys,
but vigilance never sleeps.

There.

The portable portal
is locked in place.

Great. Now I'm going
to get in some ninja practice.

Heh, yeah, you do that.

As long as I'm awake I may
as well catch up on my reading.

Not me. It's late-night sci-fi
video time for this dude.

[♪♪♪]

GUARD:
Keep it moving.
Stay in line.

Eyes straight ahead.
No talking.

We must escape from
this fiendish place.

A futile dream.

Escape is impossible.

I will risk it, Skarg.

Splendid.

You take the lead guard.

I'll handle the other.

No.

What?
I'll take that.

[SIGHS]

That feels so much better.

Whoa.

Quickly, Dementor,

head for the escape tunnel.

Blasted!

Bars of solid strontium.

I'll handle this.

Excellent, Skarg.

What's that?

DEMENTOR:
Paralyzing gas.

[BOTH COUGH]

Counted on.

That's it, boys.

Nice and easy now.

We'll have you back
in your cells in no time.

[LAUGHS]

A little solitary confinement

should change your minds
about trying to escape.

[BOTH GRUNT]

It appears the Dregma Brothers
were right.

Perhaps these electronic
can be deprogrammed.

[GRUNTS]

Or perhaps not.

Hyah! Hy--
Whoo. Hyah!

Hyah! Ooh.

All right!
Way to go creature dude.

[ALARM BEEPING]

Oh, great! Not again.

The Early Warning system.

We've got intruders.

What's going on?

Uh, no problem.

Uh, everything's under control.

The portable portal bumped
the InterDimensional

Early Warning system apparatus

which momentarily caused a tear
in the dimensional fabric.

Whoa. I hope none

of those ugo Dimension X
creatures got through.

We'd better check it out.

[♪♪♪]

Skarg, I fear
it would take a miracle

for us to escape.

[IN UNISON]:
Look.

Dementor, it appears our miracle
has arrived.

VERNON:
Oh. What
a ridiculous assignment.

I'll never make a name
for myself at this rate.

Vernon, you've already made
a name for yourself.

It just can't be said
on television.

[CHUCKLES]

If only something big
would happen.

You and your big mouth.

[BOTH SCREAM]

SKARG:
What strange landscape is this?

We're apparently on a planet
in a different dimension.

Hm. Mentally multiplying
the speed of our travel

by the algebraic formula

minus the differential

I calculate that we
are on the planet Earth.

SKARG:
Earth. Hm.

I have heard of it.

A minor asteroid
in an inferior galaxy.

Let us see
how technologically advanced

these Earth creatures are.

[SKARG AND DEMENTOR LAUGH]

DEMENTOR:
What truly primitive
electronic equipment

these creatures are still using.

Prehistoric to say the least.

But, wait. What have we here?

They appear to be weapons
of some sort.

Precisely, Skarg.

With our superior strength
and intelligence

and a few of these weapons

we could rule this planet.

How quaint.

A rudimentary thermal liquefier.

Hm. With weapons such as these
at their command

we might need some help
in conquering these Earthlings.

Oh, yes. A few bad men.

For example,
the Dregma Brothers.

An ideal choice, Skarg.

But, unfortunately,
they are still locked up

in the Dimension X penitentiary.

Then we must think of some way

to free them
and bring them here.

MICHELANGELO:
Well, no sign of
those Dimension X dudes so far.

Oh, good. Because our weapons
might be useless against them.

What do you mean?
Well, those creatures

have destructive powers
a hundred times more powerful

than ours.

I'll say one thing
about Donatello

he sure knows how to put
a damper on a conversation.

VERNON:
I still don't understand
what happened.

One minute we're crossing
a city street

and the next minute we're
in some kind of prison.

Those jaywalking laws
are getting tougher every day.

Now, listen,

I'm an important member
of the press.

It's time to start throwing
my weight around.

[SCREAMS]

[GRUNTS]

[WHIMPERS]

Nice try, Vernon,

but you threw it
in the wrong direction.

I'm in the midtown area, chief,
checking out

that inter-dimensional
disturbance rumor.

CHIEF [OVER RADIO]:
Well, keep on it, April.
This could be something big.

Right, chief.

Looks like I just
found my story.

New invaders
from another planet.

And they're headed my way.

Oh, no.

[♪♪♪]

Oh, no. It won't start.

What manner
of creature is this?

This is no time
to be afraid, April.

Just do your job.

Obviously,
a hostile Earthling

and pointing a weapon.

Whoa!

I come in peace.

Quit sh**ting and I'll--

I'll-- I'll take you
to our leader.

[♪♪♪]

Look, it's April.

Well, am I glad to see you guys.

We've been invaded
by extraterrestrials.

MICHELANGELO:
These dudes play for keeps.

According to
the light force scanalyzer

these rampaging creatures
are from Dimension X.

Creatures from Dimension X?

[LAUGHS]

Why however do you suppose

they could have gotten here?

Hey, nobody's perfect.

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

What was that?

Let's find out.

Whoa, gross.

What double-ugly dudes.

ALTOGETHER:
Turtle power!

More Earthlings,

only these are covered
with hard shells.

This should soften them up.

Incoming!

Funny. When you need a taxi

there's never one around.

Hyah!

Oh, dude. A turtle could
get toasted that way.

Look, I opened
the inter-dimensional portal

that brought them here.

I'm the one who has
to send them back.

Oh, an inter-dimensional portal.

Just what we need.

Whoa.

I don't believe it.

Did you scope out that
walking-through-the-wall bit.

What a battle.

I've got to get
this tape to Channel 6.

[♪♪♪]

Hey, no need
to thank us.

Gee, we just love doing
this stuff.

There got
to be a way to get

the upper hand on
those Dimension X creatures.

Like how?

The dude just tossed that taxi

like Vinnie tosses a pizza.

Keep working, Donatello.

There must be a way.

Yes. Only I don't know
what it is yet.

Okay, you two,

it's chow time.

You obviously don't realize
who I am.

And I obviously don't care.

Now, get in to the mess hall.

Well, at least they're going
to feed us.

Well, it's nice to know

that prison life isn't all bad.

[VERNON MOANS]

Speaking of things
that are bad.

Ew. Yuck.

I've never seen such revolting
looking food in my life.

In that case.

Oh, I just lost my lunch.

Hm. And I think
I'm about to lose mine.

APRIL:
Wait till I get this tape
on the air.

We'll scoop
all the other stations.

Oh, no. Not them again.

That infernal creature
has returned.

And it still has that weapon.

But not for long.

Oh, no.

Burne is going to k*ll me.

[♪♪♪]

[ALARM BLARING]

Someone's crossed
the intruder beam.

[ALL SCREAMING]

Turtles fight with honor.

[GRUNTS]

Call me a sentimental fool

but I'm just a sucker
for that battle cry.

Oh, meaningless gesture.

Hyah!
Huh?

[SCREAMS]

[ALL GRUNT]

Ouch.

Pain and humiliation.

The simplest of force fields

should hold
these bothersome reptiles.

[GRUNTS]

It's no use.

We're trapped.

Skarg, I believe we

have located
our objective.

Follow me.

DEMENTOR:
Hm.

A most primordial agglomeration

of scientific paraphernalia.

Behold, Dementor.

The inter-dimensional portal.

Precisely.

Now, to triangulate
the astral configuration

of the acceleration factor

DREGMA BROTHER:
What an ignominious fate,

to be imprisoned forever
in solitary confinement.

If Skarg and Dementor
found a way out

perhaps they
will set us free too.

Behold, a portal
of some sort.

The Dregma Brothers.

Our inter-dimensional
teleportation was successful.

[IN UNISON]:
We have been set free.

I suspect this is the work

or Skarg and Dementor.

Splendid.

Our old g*ng
is back together again.

This expl*sive device
will ensure

that we cannot be sent back
to Dimension X.

Set it for five Earth minutes.

That will give us time
to escape the area

before it's blown to atoms.

You'll never get away
with this, dudes.

And how do you intend
to stop us?

Oh, I don't know.

It just seemed
like the right thing to say.

Farewell, shellbacks.

You have been most helpful.

Let us hope
the expl*sive sends you

to a better life.

[BOTH LAUGHS]

[IN UNISON]:
This city will be ours to rule.

If we can make it here,

we can make it anywhere!

[BOTH LAUGH]

Nice going,
Donatello.

We're about
to be blown to turtle bits.

[♪♪♪]

Oh, great work, Donatello.

Now we'll never get out
of this force field.

Now, don't give up yet, Raphael.

This just might work.

Whoa.
How did you do that?

Uh, I'm not sure.

I saw a guy do it on TV once.

I hate to be a spoilsport

but what about
that expl*sive device?

Yipes! I nearly forgot.

Only this time no tears
in the dimensional fabric, okay?

[BEEPING]

Oh, I hope I get the right one.

And if you don't?

Believe me,
you don't want to know.

What are you waiting for?

I'm just not sure
which wire to pull.

What do you mean?

It's the red one!
It's always the red one!

You're absolutely right.

What are you doing?
I said the red wire!

The red wire!

[BEEPING]

It stopped.

But I said to pull the red wire

not the blue wire.

I know.
That's why I didn't pull it.

It is always the red wire.

They tried to trick us.

Thanks, Donatello.

Now, we'll track down
those Dimension Xer's,

while you figure out how

to send them back
where they came from.

[♪♪♪]

How did this happen?

I was going about my business

when suddenly I'm washing
clothes in a prison laundry.

Oh, Vernon, quit complaining.

We've still got
this entire load to do.

I've never done anything wrong
in my life.

Well, you're doing
something wrong right now.

You're using too much soap.

Don't you tell me how
to do my laundry, young lady.

I was washing clothes
before you were--

[SCREAMS]

Vernon?

Oh, Vernon.

Vernon, speak to me.

I have nothing further to say

on the subject.

[HICCUPS]

I had the story
of the century on tape

and I blew it.

I've just got to find

those creatures again or--

Or I'll never be able
to face Burne.

You can say
that again, sister.

Mr. Thompson.

And where in blazes
are Vernon and Irma?

I sent them out on a story
and they're not back yet.

I'm worried.

They can take care
of themselves.

You don't need
to worry about them.

I mean,
I'm worried that I'll have

to pay them overtime.

And people think
he's hard-hearted.

Well, still no sign of them.

DONATELLO [OVER RADIO]:
Let's use logic.

If we were a couple
of creatures from Dimension X

where would we go?

To the armory for some weapons.

[♪♪♪]

Guys, am I glad to see you.

Same here, April.

We could use your wheels.

To the National Guard armory.

And step on it.

[IN UNISON]:
The National Guard armory.

Repository
for Earthling weapons.

[♪♪♪]

DEMENTOR:
Excellent.

All the armor that's necessary

to carry out our mission.

After some Dimension X
improvements, of course.

Of course.

Time to use
the levitator ray.

My turn.

GUARD:
Hip, hop
Double time

Hip, hop
Keep it up

Hip, hop

I don't know how much longer

I can keep doing this.

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

Try, Vernon. Try.

[PANTING]

It's no use.

I can't go on.

Oh, no,

the guard.

You're in big
trouble now, Vernon.

So what?

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

He doesn't scare me.

I don't, eh?

How's this?

[SCREAMS]

You see what you can do
when you push yourself.

APRIL:
It's no use, fellows.

I'm ready
to call off the search.

No way, April.

We've got to find them.

The fate of the city
depends on it.

What the heck is that?

RAPHAEL:
Looks like the Gruesome Twosome

has turned
into the Awesome Foursome.

It's those
bothersome creatures again.

Destroy them.

I really must ask the boss
for a raise.

April, hit the brakes.

We're going to do the one thing

those guys least expect.

What's that?

Charge!

Hyah!
Whoo!

[LAUGHS]

These puny creatures
must be joking.

So how come you dudes
aren't laughing?

[♪♪♪]

Yeah, you're not so tough now,
are you?

Whoa!

Raphael, are you all right?

Never mind me.

Get Donatello on the Turtlecom.

I'm already here and waiting.

We're seriously
outnumbered here.

We could use a little help!

I figured it out.

If you can lure them

to the exact spot
they entered our universe

I might be able
to send them back

to their own dimension.

Great!

Uh, not so great.

If conditions
aren't exactly the same

it could create the mother
of all vortexes.

And?
And the entire city

could be sucked through
to Dimension X.

Ha-ha. Well, you sure know how
to give a guy hope.

[LASER SHOTS]

[♪♪♪]

Man, I hate running
from a fight.

Chill, dude.

It's all part of the plan.

Come on, guys,
around this corner.

Now, up this street.

Okay. We've lured them
to the exact location

where they first appeared.

Are the conditions identical?

Check. The streets
are totally deserted.

Then let's do it.

In exactly 30 seconds

they'll be sucked through
to their own dimension.

Donatello, wait!

There's a lady with a dog.

Don't press that button!

Oh, it's too late.

The inter-cosmic balance

has been thrown off kilter.

We're all about to end up
in Dimension X.

There's just one chance.

That levitating ray g*n.

[♪♪♪]

Gotcha.

I grow tired of this sport.

Farewell, Earthlings.

No!
DREGMA BROTHERS: No! Wait!

[ALL SCREAMING]

All right!

We did it!

[BOTH SCREAM]

Irma, Vernon,

where did you come from?

It's too painful to talk about.

Well, you might not
have anything to say

but I certainly do.

We were in
this cramped little cell

crawling with rats
and giant c*ck.

You should have seen
those ugly prisoners.

They fed us this awful food.

They were mean to us
and horrible.

And it smelled terrible
in there.

[♪♪♪]

Nice to see you boys again.

Thanks for dropping in.

And there you have it.

The invasion
of the Dimension X convicts,

another Channel 6 exclusive.

And there are four fellows
in green out there

that I owe it all to.

All in days work.

Oh, no. There's another large
tear in the fabric.

Oh, not the
inter-dimensional fabric.

No, dudes.

The fabric in my undershorts.

I told you we needed
a new washing machine.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]
