I'm going crazy down here.
But since we brought the techno-drome
back from dimension x, we've been stuck here.
And all our schemes to return
to the surface of the planet
have failed.
Because of those accursed
teenage mutant ninja turtles.
I am constantly defeated
by their prowess at the martial arts.
But no more.
I'll shall turn 2 of my own minions
into unbeatable super ninjas.
What?
Who?
Bebop! Rock steady!
Come up here at once.
Not those two.
It would take a miracle.
That's exactly what I had in mind.
What's up, boss?
Get in the transport module.
We're heading earthward
to the asian/american cultural center.
There's someone there I want you to meet.
Come back here!
Oh, I should never have joined forces with a ninja.
Next time I conquer a planet,
I'm using an accountant.
I've studied well the ways of our ancient foot clan.
Ha, those two aren't the only ones who can practice.
Hit it, Michelangelo.
Whoa! Check out these moves.
With our ninja fighting skills
and superior pizza-making abilities,
it's no wonder shredder stays
hold up in the center of the earth.
April O'Neill here at the asian/american cultural center,
where, among other ancient artifacts,
a burial urn is on display.
It's reported to contain the ashes
of a noble warrior who lived hundreds of years ago.
His name was shibano sama.
Shibano sama. We must get there
before shredder does.
Shredder?
I'll explain on the way.
When shredder stole
the leadership of the foot clan from me,
he also stole the clan's sacred scrolls.
Now I fear he plans to use those scrolls
to gain powers no mortal was meant to have.
What has this to do with the remains of shibano sama?
He was the founder of the foot clan.
Heavy duty happening.
Yeah, just like a kung fu movie.
Our only hope is to beat shredder to the remains.
And you have failed as usual.
Shredder.
A little ninja potion
of my own devising.
Knock-out...Gas.
Hurry, you two. The effects of the gas
will only last a few moments.
As leader of the foot clan,
I call forth the spirit of its creator,
shibano sama.
Shibano sama, come forth.
I beseech you.
Why have you summoned me?
That you may teach my two minions
the ways of the foot.
And make them invincible super ninjas.
Oh, boy. On-the-job training.
Only the true leader of the foot clan
may make such a request.
I am the true leader.
I have the sacred scrolls.
No way, hosebag.
Master splinter is the leader.
Tell him, master.
Who am I?
Who are you?
All false claimants to the clan throne
must suffer the consequences.
Due to technical problems with master splinter,
we're in deep trouble.
The gas gave him amnesia.
I'll hold them off while you get him back to the lair
and work on an antidote.
You're the one who knows all about potions
an--and antidotes and stuff.
I'll stay here and hold them off.
Boy, am I a glutton for punishment or what?
Are you sure that potion will restore his memory?
Yes, but it will take time.
Can you, like, remember anything, master?
My mind is a complete blank.
We've got to jog his memory.
Your name is splinter,
but your real name is hamato yoshi.
You lived in Japan,
and you weren't a rat.
There was a ninja clan known as the foot.
You were their shidoshi,
teacher of the warrior ways of enlightenment.
You were a quiet man
who loved renaissance art.
But one student plotted to overthrow
your leadership of the foot clan,
oroku saki.
Then one day,
a sensei, a master teacher,
visited the foot school.
And oroku saki made his move.
Impudent dog.
Bow before our beloved master.
So you plot to kill our honorable sensei.
In disgrace, you fled to America.
Penniless, you were forced to live in the sewers.
Your only friends were the rats.
And then one day, a young boy dropped
his pet turtles down the drain.
Meanwhile back in Japan,
under oroku saki's evil leadership,
the foot clan turned into an army of crime.
Back in New York,
you lived happily with your turtles and rats.
But then one day,
something else came down the drain,
it was a powerful mutagen,
it caused whoever touched it
to take on the form of whatever animal
it had most recently been in contact with.
We turtles started becoming human,
because we'd most recently been with you.
But you'd most recently been in contact
with the rats.
You named yourself splinter,
for obvious reasons.
And you named us
after your favorite renaissance painters
and trained us in the art of ninjitsu.
I became Leonardo.
And there's Donatello,
whose simple wooden Bo can disarm any adversary.
And Michelangelo,
who is master of the whirling nunchakus.
And Raphael,
who's really thrashed right now.
That right. We've got to snap this thing up.
Does any of this sound familiar, sensei?
I do not know.
I'm so unsure of everything.
What happened to oroku saki?
And who poured that mutagen on you?
It ties together.
Here, let me try. See, it started
when we met a woman named April O'Neill,
April was a reporter covering a series
of mysterious thefts at scientific companies
by a guy who called himself shredder,
and shredder didn't like that one bit.
Sign-off time, April O'Neill.
Chill out, homeboy.
Hey, watch it with that thing, pal.
Oh, whoever you are, you are dead.
Whoa! Weird-looking dudes.
Yeah, and they dress funny, too.
I don't know who you are,
but thanks.
You're...Not human!
Bingo! Now we're dealing with a real mind here.
You're--you're turtles.
Yep. So we are.
I can't handle this.
Leonardo, are you sure this is really the time
for us to be telling our life story?
We've got to help master splinter get his memory back.
Well, yeah, but what about Raphael?
Those goons are probably turning him into Sushi right now.
Your minions have great strength.
They'll make the ultimate ninja warriors.
And for practice,
they will need a target.
Uh-oh.
How come I get the feeling
it's going to be me?
Hey! Who turned out the lights?
Ohh.
Ha, you couldn't teach those boneheads anything
in a million years.
Ah, but I am no ordinary teacher.
In the name of the emperor koneji,
son of heaven,
I give you the powers
of the master ninjas.
We live only to serve our sensei.
What's keeping the guys?
Why should I have all the fun?
Oh, can you remember anything, master?
Perhaps if you told me more.
Who exposed us to that mutagen?
It was shredder himself.
See, he was rolling around under the city
in this huge fortress called the techno-drome.
In addition to his robots,
he also employed a bunch of punks,
including a pair named, bebop and rock steady.
Just sit.
I wish I'd brought some comics.
What you doing to us, man?
Just relax.
Uh, what do you need them animals for?
And he turned them into mutants,
just like he did to us.
Is any of this helping, master?
A little.
I seem to remember,
didn't oroku saki have some connection
with shredder?
Exactomundo!
He was shredder.
But we didn't find that out
until he captured you.
All right, buddy, just come along peacefully.
Don't make this any tougher on yourself.
Naturally, we came to your rescue.
Master splinter's walking stick!
He's never without it.
He must be in trouble!
Indeed, he is. Ha ha ha.
If you want to see him again,
you'll have to come in.
It's got to be a trap!
I hate it when he says that.
Splinter!
I'll cut you down, master.
I must congratulate you.
It's the guys we fought last night.
You passed your test with flying colors.
Test? What test?
Your hairy little friend knows me as
oroku saki.
But you may call me...
The shredder.
A kitchen utensil?
You would be wise to lose
your flippant ways if you wish to join
the honorable foot clan.
Why should we want to do that?
Because it was I
who made you what you are today.
Don't deny your destiny.
Join me.
Does the phrase,
"go suck a lemon"
hold any meaning for you?
Let's cut him down!
Very well.
I have my own mutants.
Bebop!
Rock steady!
Destroy them!
Oh, with great pleasure, master shredder.
Grrr.
Jump for it!
You idiots!
The mutation didn't up their iqs any.
Come on, splinter.
We're checking out of this dump.
Come on, you fools!
I just hope I haven't missed out on the action!
Rest here a moment, master.
You know, that was almost too easy.
I really wish you'd stop saying things like that.
Bebop and rock steady were ready to make
mince meat out of us.
[GROWLS]
Say your prayers, turtles.
So bebop and rock steady came after you.
Uh-huh...
And were they mad.
[GROWLS]
Well, well, well,
lookie what we found.
[SNORTS]
We've got a score to settle
with you little twerps.
[GRUNTING]
Aw, did I hurt youse?
This'll make it better.
We don't like rats in our fair city.
[SNORTS]
Maybe I should just wring your stinkin' neck.
Not so fast, homeboy.
[SNORTING]
Drink blazin' electric death, turtles!
Ah, the boy likes his work.
'Scuse me, but is any of this stuff
jogging your memory, master?
Ahh, I'm not sure.
I'm so confused.
Leonardo, even if we do get his memory back,
how can he stop shredder?
If splinter can prove he is the true leader of the foot clan,
shibano sama will turn against shredder.
Yeah, but how?
The kur li maneuver.
Oh, I've heard splinter talk about it,
but I've never seen him use it.
It's a fighting move known only by the true leader of the foot clan.
If splinter's memory comes back,
he can do the kur li maneuver
for shibano sama.
And prove that shredder's lying.
Strange that oroku saki now had all this technology.
I seem to recall...
He was not alone.
No, duh!
There was this alien dude
from dimension x named krang.
Well, he was this war criminal
who'd been banished to earth and had his body take away.
So he was using shredder to built him a new bod.
Excellent.
I want you to add to it
this molecular amplification unit.
But why?
Saki, you fool,
don't waste time.
Your forces are depleted.
The turtles are on their way.
Install the chip now!
All right. I'll do it.
You may feel some disorientation
when you revive in your new body.
It's alive!
Krang's body had a circuit
that turned him into this giant economy size.
Holy guacamole!
Nothing can stop the almighty krang.
Well, naturally we thought it'd be a mondo notion
to bring all of this to a screeching halt.
Oh, where's Godzilla when you really need it?
Well, guys, it's been great knowing you.
What the heck?
Come on, guys!
Welcome aboard the turtle blimp.
Does this thing actually work?
Just watch.
Cowabunga!
We've got to shrink him down!
I am krang, the all-powerful!
I have never been defeated!
Well, you never tangled with a turtle before, pal.
Let's kick some shell.
Shredder, come quickly.
Uh-oh.
It's that retro-muto thingamabob.
He's gonna use it to turn us back into ordinary turtles.
Well, gang, looks like it's back to the old pet shop for us.
Far from it.
Tonight I dine on turtle soup.
Ahh!
No!
Master splinter!
Climb on my back.
Of course!
I remember it all.
Where is Raphael?
Ahh!
He's trapped in the cultural center.
We haven't a moment to lose.
Excellent.
You have mastered every fighting maneuver
known to the foot clan.
All but one, I believe.
Does any of these impostors know...
The kur li maneuver?
Ah, well, only the true leader
of the foot clan may know it.
Do you?
[MOAN AND GROANS]
The kur li maneuver!
Ah, I can't move.
Whoo whoo whoo.
Whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo
nkuk, nkuk, nkuk, nkuk, nkuk.
You impostors!
Mama!
They got away.
Hey, don't worry. They always do that.
And surely, it's time you returned
to your place in eternity,
shibano sama.
Perhaps you're correct.
You have been a wise teacher, hamato yoshi.
And to you students, I say,
always follow the noble path of the foot,
be faithful to your master,
be virtuous and truthful,
and...
Save the last slice of pizza for me.
ALL: Huh?
