[ Crowd Chattering ]

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
are a menace to us all.

They are deviant t*rrorists
who will stop at nothing...

to prevent my alliance
with the peoples of Earth.

No doubt about it,
we gotta get a new press agent.

Guys, this
is getting serious.

[ Carter ]
The Techno-Gangsters are
looking everywhere for you guys.

[ Michelangelo ]
Whoa, dudes. This situation's
way out of control.

And for that matter,
so are we.

Dregg can't get away with this.
Let's nail that creep!

Forget him.
Let's nail those techno-g*ons.

[ Carter Grunts ]
Have you guys
lost it?

We can't take on
the Techno-g*ng
in the open like this.

Oh, yeah? Just watch.

[ All Screaming ]

It's the Mutant Turtles!

You bugs are gonna get stomped.

What are you looking at?

Raphael, no!

Innocent people
could get hurt.

Leonardo, man, you need
to seriously chill out.

Let me go.

We gotta get
those space creeps.

[ Tires Squealing ]

[ Carter ]
You guys went berserk.
What's up with that?

Well, you know, it seemed
like a good idea at the time.

[ Sighs ] It's like
something came over us
when we mutated.

And I think I know
what it is.

It's the mutagen.

I've never seen it
act like this before.

Oh, just what we needed--
another problem.

At this rate, we'll be
too out of control
to stop Dregg.

But if we don't stop Dregg,
who will?

You must, my students,
no matter what happens.

But, Sensei,
if we can't control
our mutant state,

we won't be able
to function as a team.

And Dregg
will have a field day.
Whoa, dudes.

It sounds like we better
find a way to chill
our mutations out pronto.

It may already be
too late for that,
my students.

I fear you may have
to sacrifice...

more than you could
possibly imagine...

in order to finally
defeat Dregg.

Huh? Sacrifice?
Sacrifice what?

Well, that really
cheered me up.

[ Grunts ]

Lord Dregg,
I-- I found it.

At last, it is mine.

The Vortex Crystal.

But I thought
it was only a legend.

This is no fantasy.

My space fleet was scattered
throughout the galaxy,

but the Vortex Crystal has
the power to warp space itself.

It will enable me to bring
my entire armada together...

and lay siege to the planet.

To activate the vortex,

the crystal will need
a massive infusion of power.

Surely the Dreggnought's
power reserves are insufficient.

The people of Earth will
provide the energy for me.

All it will require
is one last deception.

Once again,
we are the recipients
of Dregg's benevolence.

Our friend from the stars
has given us this crystal...

which will provide
unlimited, clean energy.

Who's he kidding?
It's just another one
of Dregg's lame tricks.

Getting any readings,
Donatello?

Are you kidding?
Everything's going nuts.

The sensors are
all off the scale.

Whatever that rock is,
it isn't an energy source.

And Dregg's gonna plug it
into that power plant.

Stay close, April.

Maybe we can
force that space goon
to reveal his true colors.

Don't worry, Raphael.
I won't let him out of my sight.

I'll meet up with you guys
back at the lair
after I've gotten my proof.

[ All Screaming ]

Doomquest.

The Vortex Crystal
is mine, Dregg.

[ All Screaming ]

[ Michelangelo ]
Who in the heck
is that guy?

I don't know,
but he looks big enough
to eat Dregg for breakfast.

Come on. We've gotta
grab that crystal.

Attack!

For centuries, I have sought
the Vortex Crystal.

It will not be denied me by you.

Draconus, obliterate
these insects.

- We must escape while we can.
- No. The crystal.

Gotcha.

You won't escape me
that easily, Dregg.

Main engine's
not responding.

No. No!

The Vortex Crystal.

It's gone.

Find it!
Track its energy readings.

Get the crystal back!

Get moving.
We'll hold him off.

[ Tires Squealing ]

No. Not so fast, bub.

I have no time
to waste on you.

I must retrieve
the Vortex Crystal.

[ Both Yelling, Grunting ]

Well, so much
for the last vestiges
of my dignity.

Come on.
We've gotta stop him.

[ Tires Screech ]

[ Computer Beeping ]
Any clue
what that rock is, Carter?

No. Half the gauges
are off the scale.

But why?

Man, if I didn't
know better,

I'd say that crystal
is affecting space itself.

Release the Vortex Crystal.

Michelangelo,
get this thing in gear.

You got it, dude.

[ Tires Squealing ]

So much
for that getaway.

Unhand the crystal.

You fools, he's going
to use that crystal...

to make the universe
a better place.

He's a noble, benevolent being.

Yeah, right.
We've heard that before.

Back off.

[ Clanging ]

He's getting away.
Come on!

There he is.
And he's got
the crystal.

All right.

It's payback time
for dumping us
in that tree, mister.

Hey, I get
first crack at him.

- Out of my way.
- Not this time.

We can tear you apart now.

Grab that thing.

You will not get the crystal.

[ Both Grunting ]

You know, he just
could be right.

You will not keep
the Vortex Crystal
from Doomquest.

I have no time to toy with you.

What the heck happened?

Oh, that weirdo
in the flying cherry picker
got the crystal.

And we've gotta
get it back.
We need it.

Yeah! We do?
What are you talking
about, Donatello?

I think that crystal
caused us to de-mutate.

[ Tires Squealing ]

[ Beeping ]

- The crystal is in place.
- [ Doomquest, On Speaker ]
Energize it at once.

I shall use Dregg's
primitive controls
to activate the vortexes.

It's opening.

The dimensional barriers
are being torn down.

The Darkrealm
shall be released at last.

[ Thunderclap ]

[ Michelangelo ]
Whoa. What's with
the weird weather, amigos?

We can't worry
about it now. We've
gotta get that crystal.

[ Tires Screech ]

[ High-pitched Frequency ]

Take cover!

[ Tires Squeal, Screech ]

I am Doomquest,
Lord of the Darkrealm.

No force in the universe
can withstand me.

Take off
before we get blitzed.

[ Raphael ]
Oh, take it easy,
Michelangelo.

This crate's
falling apart.

Man, talk about urban decay.

[ Beeping ]

What are
all those blips?

They're vortexes
opening up all over the city.

Dudes, look.

Another vortex.
What's going on here?

Doomquest must be destroying
the dimensional barriers
to another world.

But if his world
comes into our world--

Then it's only
a matter of time before--

[ Screeching ]

Whoa. These dudes really
have it in for our van.

And if it's happening here,
it's happening
all over the city.

[ Communicator Chirps ]

Guys, it's April.
I'm over by Channel 8.

The good news is
I've got Dregg on tape.

The bad news is we're
being attacked by monsters!

Oh, why do you always
have to be right?

Let's roll.
Roll?

[ Van Clanging, Rattling ]
I'll lay you even money
this thing can't even crawl.

[ Dregg ]
The damage is not severe.

Then we must retreat
before Doomquest
has us destroyed.

Nonsense! I'm going
to blast that blowhard
back to his Darkrealm.

No, Lord Dregg.
We cannot win.

It is my right to command
the universe, not his!

Okay, you space freaks,
prepare to be served.

Hmm. No doubt about it,
our heroic entrances
need a little work.

- K-Keep away from me,
you-you deviants.
- That'll be a pleasure.

Guys, what's going on?
The whole city's changing.

And so are we.

I want the scorpion guy!

I want that firebug.

I just wanna break stuff.

Guys, no.
We've gotta
work together.

Okay. I'm gonna blunt
this bug's stinger.

Hey, back off!
He's mine.

In your dreams, jerkweed.

[ Grunting ]

Uh, guys, you wanna maybe
help me out here a little?

I'll tear that
stinking scorpion apart.

You aren't gonna stop me
from getting to him first.

[ Grunting ]

Oh, man, this is
totally not working.

Dude, you're
the only one around here
who hasn't gone bonkers.

Let go of me.
I wanna bust that scorpion.

I saw him first.
He's mine.

Dudes, chill.
We gotta fight
the bad guys, remember?

Oh, what...
are we doing?

Oh, what's
the matter with us?

[ Panting ]
I don't know.

But it gets worse
each time we mutate.

This will cool you down.
[ Grunts ]

What's up with you guys?

Once you mutate,
you can barely
work together as a team.

And if we don't find
some way to get a grip,
we're gonna become the bad guys.

Well, we've gotta
get that crystal
away from Doomquest.

It's our only hope.

Oh, what a story.
They saved the station.

April O'Neil,
how would you like to cover
the story of the century?

Just give me a van
and stand clear.

Take one
and get on it.

[ Hi-Tech ]
The engines are repaired.

[ Dregg ] Now our quest
for the Vortex Crystal
can begin.

- [ Power Winding Down ]
- What the--

Doomquest must have the entire
Dreggnought under some kind
of electronic restraint.

Then bypass it.

My lord,
I-- I don't know if--

Now, Hi-Tech,

get this ship free,
or I'll blast you to atoms.

Are you saying
that crystal has the power
to stabilize our mutations?

Well, according
to these waveforms, uh, yes.

They almost match the pattern
of the mutagen's instability.

And when Raphael and I were
exposed to the crystal's energy,

we de-mutated.

But can you be sure?

Yeah. Well,
uh, almost sure.

Somehow I'd really prefer
you were sure sure...

before we go risking
our necks for that thing.

Raphael,
it's our only hope.

The next time we mutate,
we might tear each other apart.

Anybody know where
we can get a good deal
on a new set of wheels?

[ Donatello ]
The crystal's gotta
be inside somewhere.

We'll have to search
for it.
[ Raphael ] Terrific.

That'll only take,
what, a couple of years?

If it's not in here,
I don't know where else
it could be.

Dudes, check it out.

The crystal!

I've been expecting you.
[ Donatello ]
It figures.

[ Doomquest ]
If you want
the Vortex Crystal,

you'll have
to get past me.

We'll have to take
this overstuffed
turkey down.

No sweat, dude.
So long as we don't... mutate.

You had to open
your big, fat beak,
didn't you?

Come on. Let's knock
this jumbo jerk for a loop.

Michelangelo,
don't tell me
you're losing it too?

[ Doomquest ]
As your brawn increases,
your brains diminish.

You pathetic worms,
this is almost going
to be too easy.

[ All Yelling ]

I gotta get to that crystal.

You four simpletons
will never get my crystal.

Its work is almost done.

Darkrealm will soon
obliterate this pitiful world.

On my count of three,
we jump that sucker.

I ain't waiting
for your stupid count, dude.

Arrogant insects!

[ Both Yell, Grunt ]

[ Hi-Tech ]
The restraints have
been bypassed, Lord Dregg.

At last,
the time has come.

[ Hi-Tech ]
My lord,
this is a mistake.

My micro-saw
never lets me down.

Oh, nice going,
dipstick.

Why'd you trip me up
like that?
You got in my way, melon head.

[ Chortling ]

You fools would probably
destroy yourselves.

But I'd hate
to miss the fun.

Now to blast you all
out of existence.

- [ Karate Yell ]
- [ Grunts ]

[ All Groaning, Grunting ]

The crystal.
It worked.

It destabilized
our mutations.

All right, Doomquest,
this is the finish.

Destroying you
will be a pleasure.

We're not
letting this thing
out of our sight.

They've got
my crystal!

The crystal is mine!

[ Carter ]
The city's still the same,

and those creatures
are still loose.

Removing the crystal
must have only stopped
the process.

We still have
to reverse it somehow.

Ah, this is gonna take
a minute to figure out.

Uh, guys,
we don't have a minute.

Let's book.

P.U.!

This situation
could not possibly
get any worse.

You had to go and open
your big mouth.

Dudes, we can't let
either of those wackos
get that crystal.

And we need to send
Doomquest and his homeboys back
to the Darkrealm... and fast.

But what about us?
We need the crystal.

There's more at stake
than what happens
to the four of us.

This is your
last chance, deviants.

Turn over the crystal
or be obliterated.

You want it?
You got it!
[ Grunts ]

Noooooooooo!

Whoa.

Well, with that little rock
goes our last chance
at a normal life.

[ Creatures Screeching ]

- Oh, well, everything's
returning to normal.
- You can say that again.

We must go before we, too,
get pulled into the Darkrealm.

But, Lord Dregg--
Take us off this
wretched planet at once.

This reporter has finally
gotten the truth about Dregg.

Listen to his own words.

With this ship
at my command,

- I can finally blast planet
Earth into submission...
- [ Crowd Gasping ]

and you mutants' efforts
to stop me will have
been in vain.

Well, that ought
to give them the message.

Way to go, dudette.

Excuse the heck out of me.
I don't know what you're
all so happy about.

Dregg got away.
We trashed the van.

And without that crystal,
we're still four
over-the-top super mutants.

Raphael, you have to learn
to think positively.

I'm positive
we'll be taking
public transportation.

With this baby,
we'll be rolling again
in no time.

Whoa, whoa.
Wait a minute.
Let me see that.

It looks like
traces of the crystal.

Yeah. Hey, I used it
to remove the crystal.

If we can analyze
these traces,

maybe we can discover
why the crystal
stabilized your mutations.

Now do you believe
in the power of positive
thinking, Raphael?

Oh, yeah. Sure.

I say we positively,
absolutely need
to hail a cab.
