SHEDDER:
Hurry up, you fools.

The turtles have been
onto our every move.

[RATTLING]

[ELECTRICITY BUZZING]

There, it's done.

That energy transmitter
will beam all the power

in this station straight
to the Hall of Science.

Let's move it.

You were saying something
about turtles, Shedder?

I don't believe it,
they found us again.

We've staked out the
Hall of Science for weeks.

Run.

Follow them.

Thataway, fellow dudes.

Those creeps aren't gonna
get away from us this time.

Come on.

They must have gone in there.

RAPHAEL:
Give it up, Shred-Head.

You can't hide from us.

SHEDDER:
On the contrary,

I'm right under your noses.

It's the end for you, Shedder.

We've got you cornered
in that Hall of Science.

[LEONARDO GRUNTS]

And we're gonna put you away.

Don't be so sure about that.

[GRUNTING]

Move it, you two.

Thanks, guys.

There they go.

We've got them now.

Or maybe not.

TURTLES:
Look out!

Come on,
they're getting away.

Not again.

We'll get you, Shedder,
if it's the last thing we do.

DONATELLO:
I don't get it,

how can Shedder get away
every single time?

Hey, you nearly had him back
there, why didn't you nail him?

Me? What about Michelangelo?
He was closer.

Hey, why are we arguing?

We all agree that we've
got to catch Shedder.

If I may disagree,
my pupils,

capturing Shedder
should not be your goal.

E-excuse me, sensei?

We all live
in what we radiate.

Therefore, doing good
should be your primary purpose.

Because the good
you do for others

will come back
to you in abundance.

Okay, will somebody please
explain to me what that meant?

I'm not sure,

but I have a feeling
we'll find out before too long.

KRANG:
With the energy transmitter

installed at the relay station,

we have enough power

to activate my new
dimensional portal generator.

[BEEPING]

[ELECTRICITY SURGING]

[KRANG CACKLING]

Once more we have access
to Dimension X.

Krang, are you sure
this plan will work?

Of course.

The Rock Warriors
have been working

around the clock in Dimension X.

All the arrangements
have been made.

[ALARM BLARING]

LEONARDO:
Donatello, what is it?

My equipment just picked up
a massive power surge

from the Hall of Science.

Whoa, what do Krang and Shedder
need all that juice for?

Only one thing takes
this kind of power,

a portal to Dimension X.

Maybe they've built a new one.

But why would they want
to go to Dimension X?

I mean, the Technodrome's got
no power, it's totally trapped.

Or is it?

[♪♪♪]

The place is empty.

DONATELLO:
Because they're all probably
in Dimension X.

See? The portal's
still activated.

All right, then we can
follow them.

VOICE:
Help me.

Listen. Who was that?

Ah, somebody probably
just left the TV on.

Let's get moving.

VOICE:
Whoever you are,

please help me.

That's no TV, dude.

Ah, thank heavens
someone heard me.

Whoa, who are you?

My name is Gargon.

Krang had me abducted
from Dimension X.

He used me to test a new
experimental mutagen.

We've got to help
this poor guy.

Hey, with Krang and Shedder
running loose in Dimension X,

we've got bigger problems.

Don't you remember what
Master Splinter said?

Doing good is more important
than fighting evil.

If I may offer a suggestion.

Dimension X is my home.

I would gladly help you
find those two

in exchange for my freedom.

Sounds like a plan to me.

GARGON:
You won't regret this.

[♪♪♪]

I'm beginning
to regret this already.

Krang must have scrambled
the portal's coordinates.

[GROWLING]

Terrific, another mouth to feed.

Yeah, and guess who's
on the dinner menu.

[SNARLING]

MICHELANGELO:
Run for it, dudes!

[ROARING]

We can take this
overgrown turkey.

Come on.

[ALL SCREAMING]

Ah!

I get the feeling this thing
has an appetite for turtles

on the half-shell.

[ROARING]

There's only one way to go.

Up.

Hey, Gargon,

why don't you give us a hand,
for crying out loud?

But, what can I do?

You could let that thing
chase you for a while

so we can figure out--

Uh, dudes?
This hill is breathing.

What?

Look.
DONATELLO: This isn't a hill.

It's some kind of animal.

LEONARDO:
And it's asleep.

[GROWLING]

So, uh, what do you say
we wake it up?

ALL:
Okay, let's go, fella.

That's it.

[ROARING]

[WHIMPERS]

[TURTLES YELPING]

[ROARING]

Well done, my friends.

Yeah. No thanks to you.

Ah, give him a break.

He didn't set
the portal to bring us

into this part of Dimension X.

MICHELANGELO:
Uh, speaking of which,

where do you suppose
old Shed-Head is anyway?

I heard Shedder
and Krang talking about

going to the planet Balaraphon.

I, uh, don't suppose this would
be Balaraphon, would it?

Oh, I'm afraid not.

Balaraphon is an arid,
desert world.

Well, how are we supposed to get
to a whole other planet?

We'll have to get
a spaceship.

[♪♪♪]

Wait here, my friends.

I got a bad feeling
about that Gargon guy.

Come on, lighten up, dude,

he's just trying
to do us a favor.

Yeah? Well, his last favor
tried to eat us alive.

Remember what Splinter said,

the good you do
returns in abundance.

Yeah, I have to admit, those
monsters were pretty abundant.

Hey, are you making fun
of the sensei, bud?

Good news, my friends,

I found some people
who will trade you a ship.

For your weapons.

What?

They're collectors
of unusual ornaments.

And, of course,
your earthly weapons

are incredibly rare
here in Dimension X.

LEONARDO:
So, uh, who are these
collectors?

A group of space rounders
called the Wrecking Crew.

Now, then, you wish
to wager your weapons

against our ship, eh?

Uh, pardon me.
"Wager"?

Correct, alien.

Uh, like what kind of wager?

Hm, that you can survive
a battle with us.

[♪♪♪]

I'm beginning to understand
why they're called

the Wrecking Crew.

[YELPS]

I thought you said
they just wanted to swap.

I had no idea.
Believe me.

I don't suppose you'd actually
want to help us, Gargon.

We don't want to fight him,
we want to fight you.

Remarkable. I've never
seen anything like it.

[GRUNTS]

My, what big arms
you have, dude.

The better to pulverize
you with.

[YELPS, GRUNTS]

These guys are mopping
the floor with us.

We need something
to fight them with.

That looks like a repair shop.

Hey, what say we fix those
motorized maniacs?

But good.

Get them!

Eat hot electrons, dudes.

Ooh, you filthy alien.

I'll-- I'll smash you flat.

DONATELLO:
Some high-frequency energy

should scramble your circuits.

What the--?

[MUMBLING]

My arms. Do you know how much
they'll cost to replace?

Ha-ha. It's time to put
the brakes on this speed demon.

Do you really think that
toothpick can stop me?

No...

[SWORD CLANGING]

I know it.

How about a little water,
hothead?

[SCREAMING]
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

Oh, have I got a headache.

MICHELANGELO:
All right!

The Wrecking Crew
is wrecked.

Well, I guess that means
we win the wager.

LEONARDO:
Come on, let's collect
before they get mad.

GARGON:
There it is, my friends.

You have done well,
General Traag.

We have carried out your orders
to the letter, My Lord.

And thanks to your efforts,

we will soon be
all powerful again.

And the turtles
will be finished.

GARGON:
Don't worry, my friends,

I'll soon have us
to the planet Balaraphon.

I don't trust that guy.

Come on,
he's doing his best.

He got us this far,
didn't he?

Really? We've been
through two major fights

and we still haven't seen
Krang and Shedder.

Yeah, that guy just
gets us in trouble.

You're just exaggerating, dude.

Brace yourself, my friends,
we're going down.

[TURTLES SCREAMING]

[ENGINE HISSES]

DONATELLO:
What the heck hit us?

Does that answer your question?

LEONARDO:
Rock Warriors.

RAPHAEL:
Nice going, Gargon.

You've dropped us right
in the middle of a battle.

[g*nshots]

DONATELLO:
Guys, we're in the middle

of a w*r zone.

RAPHAEL:
Gargon, you've done it again.

Run!
[ALL SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

Well, so much
for our ship.

But at least we're
on the planet Balaraphon.

Aren't we?

Yes, we're here.

Good, then get us to Krang
and Shedder. Fast.

No, my friends, look.

[g*ns ZAPPING, PEOPLE SCREAMING]

GARGON:
The Rock Warriors are going

to destroy that village.

We've got enough problems,

we can't save
the whole universe.

Right, we've got to stop
Shedder and Krang.

But Master Splinter said we
should be doing good for others.

Will you guys stop arguing?

[SIGHS]

Well, maybe if we had a plan.

Why are the Rock Warriors
doing this to us?

We can't let them
get away with this.

Come on.

MICHELANGELO:
Hey, dude, you want
a piece of me?

Shoe's on the other
foot now, huh?

Surprise, Granite-puss.

[GRUNTS]

You know, I always
wanted to play

with one of these things.

DONATELLO:
Where did you guys learn
to fight, at clown school?

RAPHAEL:
Get ready for a taste of your
own firepower, Rockheads.

Uh, guys, I'd jump
if I were you.

[EXPLOSIONS]

I've never seen such valor.

You're magnificent,
you're superb,

you're--
Tired.

Now will you please just
take us to Krang and Shedder?

GARGON:
We'd better stop.

We're going to have to travel
on foot from here.

You're kidding?

DONATELLO:
Gargon, are you sure

we're heading for Krang
and Shedder?

Uh, w-w-why, yes. We're--
We're quite near, yes.

I'm telling you,
this guy is leading us

on a wild goose chase.

Hey, dude, he knows
Dimension X. We don't.

But we're in the middle
of nowhere.

DONATELLO:
This is what we get

for not having a plan.

LEONARDO:
I don't see you with a plan.

DONATELLO:
Me? You're supposed
to be the leader, Leonardo.

And we're supposed
to be a team.

How can I lead when you guys
fight all the time?

Maybe what we need
is a new leader.

Really? You want
to explain that remark?

No. Let's just have
it out right now.

[♪♪♪]

LEONARDO:
Ah, you're not worth fighting.

[GROWLING]

[TURTLES SCREAMING]

RAPHAEL:
Hey, what--?

MICHELANGELO:
It's some kind

of freaked-out plant.

Raphael, my sword.

Ah, get it yourself.

Hey, Gargon, you want
to maybe help us for a change?

I'm sorry, my friends,
I-- I can't.

Forgive me.

Well, this is another
fine mess

you've gotten us into,
Michelangelo.

Me?

You keep going on
about doing good,

but we're still no nearer
to Krang and Shedder.

Yeah, well, maybe, but I'd say
we're getting darn close.

The Technodrome.

SHREDDER:
Well, well.

The mighty turtles

trapped by a mere plant.

Your fighting days
will soon be over,

when I turn my new
retro-mutagen cannon on you.

He's bluffing. There's no way
that thing can work.

You have done well, Gargon.

You will be rewarded for leading
the turtles into my trap.

MICHELANGELO:
Whoa, I guess it does work.

Forgive me,
my friends,

it was my only hope
of becoming normal again.

Now you'll become
ordinary turtles again.

And I'll be rid of you at last.

Farewell, accursed enemies.

GARGON:
No!

Leonardo, your sword.

GARGON:
I won't let you
do this to them.

[GRUNTS]

[BEEPS]

Let's give old
Chrome-Dome some payback.

End of story, Shedder.

No!

No. No, you can't
do this to me.

MICHELANGELO:
Sayonara, Shred-Head.

[SHEDDER SCREAMING]

I'll get you for this,
you wretched reptiles,

if it's the last thing I do.

DONATELLO:
That's the main engine, Raphael.

RAPHAEL:
Correction: that was
the main engine.

[g*nsh*t]
[expl*si*n]

Yee-haw!

GARGON:
When I saw how brave you were

defending those villagers,

I knew I couldn't
let Shedder demutate you.

And you came through
in the end too, Gargon.

Take the Rock Warrior's tank

and fly straight
to your home planet.

Thank you, my friends.
I'll never forget you.

LEONARDO:
To the portal room.

What the blazes?

The engines aren't responding.

[SNARLING]

BEBOP:
So you rotten shell-backs

think you're going
to get past us, huh?

As a matter of fact, yeah.

[BEBOP AND ROCKSTEADY GRUNTING]

You know, sometimes I almost
feel sorry for those two jerks.

Well, it's set.
Let's go home.

MICHELANGELO:
Cowabunga!

[GROWLING]

[LOUD CRASH]

KRANG:
Curse the day

I ever met
those miserable turtles!

MICHELANGELO:
Well, dudes, you have to admit,

Master Splinter was right.

Yep, by doing good
and helping those villagers,

we won Gargon over.

And without his help we'd be
the pet-shop turtles now.

And we wouldn't
have been able

to trap Krang and Shedder
in Dimension X.

Hey, do you really think that's
the last of those creepazoids?

Nah, they'll be back.

But they'll never win.

As long as we
keep doing good.

And never fight
among ourselves again.

Right. So, uh, who gets
the remote tonight?

MICHELANGELO:
Whoa. No argument there, dudes.

I get the remote.
RAPHAEL: Hey, it's my turn.

MICHELANGELO:
But you always hog it.

DONATELLO:
Wait, I never get to see

the shows I want to watch.

LEONARDO:
Uh, fellas,

maybe we should just
read a good book.

[♪♪♪]
