Hope you have another tubuloso year at channel 6.
Oh, thanks guys.
But I'm just not in the mood for a party.
What's wrong, April? I'm worried about my job.
Burne Thompson said I better come up with a big story or Or what? Or I won't be around to celebrate my second year.
Hey, I know what'll cheer you up.
Irma, I need you.
Ooh! Easy, Irma.
It's only to help me pick up a pizza.
Enough, krang! It's going to explode! Silence! I'm the scientific genius here! Now, are you satisfied? I told you the plasma heat dissipator wouldn't stand that much overload.
But no matter.
If these readings are correct, we will soon have no more need of your shoddy work.
What are you raving about? I have detected a new form of energy generated by the nuclear fission reactor at the university.
Energy powerful enough to raise the technodrome, and I want you to locate it.
This glue factory sure makes a neat hideout, boss.
Fail me, and I'll be making glue out of both of you.
This will locate the energy source.
Now, go! Right away, boss.
Umm, where we going to? To the fission plant! The fission plant! You know, this fishin's the easiest job we ever had.
Yeah.
[BEEPS.]
Yeah, boss? Well? Did you find it? No, boss.
We've been fishing here for three hours and we ain't had a nibble.
Fishing? I sent you out for fission.
Not fishing! Huh? Wait till I get my hands on you--you-- huh? What the-- hey! Hey! Come back with my fishing partner! And another thing.
Don't walk away while I'm talking to you! I'll be good, boss.
Please don't zap me like you did rock steady.
What are you babbling about? You mean you didn't-- you mean, he just, just Oh.
I give you two imbeciles a simple assignment, and you can't even carry it out.
But, boss, something awful happened.
What? You lost rock steady? Well, yeah.
That also.
That also? What else went wrong? We didn't catch a single fish.
Aah! Are you sure this will cheer April up? Are you kidding? April's a sucker for peppito's pan-American pizzas.
[GASPS.]
What's that light? Wow! Aah! And then zip! He was gone! If his story is true, there's only one explanation for this strange occurrence.
What? Visitors from space! Visitors who could make our wildest dreams come true! One minute he was at my side-- and the next minute, he was gone.
Donatello vanished into thin air? Irma's story explains much.
I've sensed an alien presence [SNIFFS.]
Unlike anything earth has seen before.
Wow! Visitors from another planet! This could be just the story to guarantee my job at channel 6! Donatello? With aliens? This sounds serious! Whoa! The roller coaster companies would love to have that ride! I'd better call the turtles.
The turtlecom! I must have dropped it! Something's headed this way! It's, it's Rock steady? Hey, what's going on here? Beats the heck out of me.
Well, sounds like a good idea, pizza breath! Uhh! Oh, yeah? And you're a flapjack! You want to play some more? Or shall we try to find a way out of here? UmWhat was that first question again? So, where do you think we are? I'm not certain.
We may be in some parallel dimension.
Aah! [ROARING.]
Huh? I'm out of here! This way! It sounds like he's right behind us.
You need to get your hearing checked.
Whoa! Why do I keep saving him? Rock steady, I've got an idea.
Make this thing charge us.
Nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah! Your mother wears high-heel shoes Back! Ha ha ha! We sure fooled him! Hey, it disappeared.
And, of course, I'd like a new chair.
Vernon! What are you doing to my desk? Your desk? Ha ha ha! Tell her, burne.
April, there'll be changes around here and real soon.
Changes? But I've got the biggest story of the century.
Not bigger that Vernon's story, and I'm sending him out to cover it.
I found out there's some strange radiation coming from the new reactor at the university.
But my story is much bigger, Mr.
Thompson! If you'd just let me tell you about-- ah! Ah! April, if you want to tag along on Vernon's radiation story, you can As his camera operator.
Camera operator? Me? Oh, my life is over! Like, what would've made these weird burn marks? Only one thing.
Some poor klutz must have dropped one of peppito's hot chili pizzas.
Hold on.
What's that? It's Donatello's turtlecom.
Then Irma was right! Our amigo's been grabbed by aliens from outer space! I just hope he's all right.
What are we doing now? Trying to find a way out of here, as soon as I figure out where "here" is.
Aah! I guess we're not supposed to go that way.
Yikes! We can't go that way neither! Hey! What's going on here? I've got a theory about this.
Just let go of the wall.
Are you out of your shell? Just do it! It's our only chance! I better be right about this.
Aah! Uhh! I was right.
Ha ha ha! Way to go, earthlings.
Nikto, stop playing with the earthlings.
Oh, but it's fun! They're so weird-looking! I am klattu.
Who are you? I'll show you who I am.
Hey! What the-- my, my, such a temper.
Please forgive us.
We didn't know that little nikto beamed you here.
I just wanted somebody to play with.
Nikto would not have hurt you.
The creature and the disappearing floor were merely illusions.
I figured that out, but where are we and who are you? I'm klattu.
This is the little woman berrata.
We' come from the star system antares.
You are in our space ship several Miles above your planet.
Why are you here? We vacationed on your planet some 4,000 years ago.
Little nikto left one of his toys behind.
You came all the way back for a toy? The situation is quite serious.
You earthlings constructed a nuclear reactor plant right on top of it.
The radiation is causing the toy to approach meltdown.
When that toy disintegrates, it will destroy all life on your planet.
We're talking end of the world here.
The end of the world? Hey! Let me out of these things! I'll be good! All right, but if you misbehave, back you go.
Oh, boy.
That's some neato trick! My turtle friends and I can help you recover nikto's toy.
We would be most grateful.
I'm getting a reading, krang.
Can you analyze it? Yes.
It's almost identical to that of their fission reactor.
Then it's true.
We do have visitors from outer space! We must find their space ship! Forget the space ship! Get to the fission plant and find that energy source.
But think of what treasures the alien ship might hold.
Do as you're told! I want that energy source now! So the entire world will be at my feet! What feet? You really know how to hurt a person, don't you? I'm going to prepare our particle transmitter to beam myself aboard that space ship, and take it over! Wow! This ship is incredible! It's nothing fancy, but it's paid for.
This is our energy conversion unit.
It transmutes matter to energy, you mean you power this entire spaceship with just this thing? Not only that, it makes great coffee.
Have some.
No thanks.
I gave it up.
Boss, you should see all the neat stuff they got up here.
Neat stuff? What is your location? I'm in a big room Somewhere.
I meant the coordinates of the alien ship, you dimwit! Oh! Ok, boss.
Now how'd that bug turn this thing on? Ooh, yeah! Can you see it, boss? Boss? Uh-oh.
You going to beam up from the glue factory? Oh, no, you don't! We warned you about this behavior.
We antarians detest violence.
Mostly because we don't like to clean up afterwards.
We're in for big trouble.
This goon just broadcast our coordinates to shredder.
Shredder? Another mutant? A hamster perhaps? Gee, dad, can I keep him for a pet? Believe me, kid, you wouldn't want this guy for a pet.
Now, what can we do? Rock steady's comlink.
If I can rewire this, I might be able to contact the turtles.
Maybe they can intercept shredder.
Donatello, where are you? I'm on board an alien space ship.
An alien space ship? I'm all right, but you've got to stop shredder.
He's hiding out at some glue factory.
Which one? I don't know.
But if he gets his hands on this high-tech equipment, he'll be unstoppable.
Turtles We have much work to do.
The acme glueworks.
It looks like shredder's style.
This is it.
I sense my old enemy's presence.
There! The particle transmitter is set to beam me to that alien ship.
The countdown is automatic.
Soon, the alien's power will be mine! Cowabunga! The turtles Get them! Turtle targets! Aah! I'm growing tired of your meddling, rodent.
If you're tired, I suggest you lie down.
Ooh! We gotta shut down the countdown! I'm going to shut you down! Whoa! Oh! Hey, dude, what goes quack-quack? Duck? Exactemondo! Master splinter! They're gone! What happened? It appears we're on the alien space ship.
Excellent! Let me see what I can find.
We'll continue this later, ancient one.
I had better find Donatello.
This is the most delicious pizza, Donatello.
Pizza? It's even better than venutian tree slugs.
Who wants more? Ahh! [BURP.]
Donatello? Master splinter! How'd you get here? I was beamed up via particle transmitter, just as you were.
Shredder has been beamed aboard, as well.
I better find the boss.
Boss! Yoo-hoo! Oh, boss! Yah! Quickly, show me where the aliens keep their weapons.
Down that way or maybe it was that way.
Then again, I think it was that way.
Then they both disappeared.
That treacherous piece of slime.
Shredder wants the alien technology for himself.
Pay attention now, bebop.
This is the fission plant.
You're to go there, find the alien source of power, and bring it to me, and remember, this is your last chance.
Gee, thanks.
Scientists are now identifying the strange radiation as unlike anything before seen, but they assure us no danger exists.
And now Vernon's doing my newscast! It sure looks like he's taking over your job.
This is the last straw! I'm telling off burne Thompson right now! Please Mr.
Thompson.
One more chance is all I ask.
Your invasion from Mars fairy tale? Great real, April.
This is a news show, not the movie of the week.
Fairy tale, huh? Just you wait and see! You actually spoke to Donatello onboard the space ship? We sure did.
Let's get it in gear, dudes.
We got to save the world! Ok, folks.
Here's the won ton and lox pizza I promised.
I-- what happened to them? Apparently, mozzarella has a soporific effect on anterian physiology.
I have won! The alien's power is in my hands! In mine, too! Oops! I just can't take you anywhere.
You haven't won yet, shredder.
What is this? Get used to those chains, splinter.
You'll be wearing them for a long time, but first I have a world to conquer.
And a pompous, self-important brain to make beg for mercy.
Now, let's get to the fission plant before krang does.
Berrata, nikto! Wake up! Oh, great! They snooze and we lose! Let us hope the turtles can stop shredder.
Let's also hope they can stand up against the alien technology.
Somehow they will have to.
Hey, hurry up, you guys! Bring it up.
Hey, dudes! Take five! Get them! Maybe I can pick up a strike.
Set them up in the next alley! Going up! Now I got you! Hey, don't sweat it, dudes.
I got your pursuit covered.
Yo, bebop! What a sensational story this'll make! What was that? It's shredder! Correction.
The new improved shredder.
Now I am invincible.
Yeah, we'll see how invincible you are, metal mouth.
He's got some kind of force field protecting him.
And that's not all.
Watch this! So far this story doesn't look like it has a very happy ending.
I'm so glad you're here, miss O'Neill.
You shall have an exclusive story on my conquest of the world.
Not in this lifetime, shredder! And now to retrieve the antarian power source! Totally awesome! Didn't I see this in a movie once? That's a kid's toy? And shame on you for stealing it.
Splinter, Donatello, how did you get free? Fortunately, our antarian friends have great powers of recuperation.
You'd better hope you do, too.
Hey! Who snitched my blaster? The aliens did.
A mere parlor trick.
I have far greater powers.
You better be waving bye-bye.
The antarians just took away all your goodies.
Oh! Thanks a lump, Donatello.
Rad happening.
We're free, dudes! Head for cover! Hey, no fair running away.
What's going on? Those laser blasts have accelerated the meltdown process.
Krang, send the module.
This must be that end of the world klattu was talking about.
Do you know how to stop it? Uh, no, but I'm open to suggestions.
The module! Save the world by yourselves! Foolish turtles! We can't stop this thing! I've got an idea.
Keep that camera running! What she doing? With women you never know.
It stopped! There! So much for that.
How'd you do that, April? Simple.
Every kid's toy has batteries.
You thought you were going to have it all.
Instead, you have zip! Look who's talking.
You don't even have hands to fix your equipment.
Let me help, boss.
Ow! Keep that up and you won't have hands, either! And with the visiting aliens now headed home, our planet is once again safe.
This is April O'Neill of channel 6 news.
Signing off.
Great show, April.
Thanks, guys.
And best of all, I've got my office back from Vernon and a three-year contract! The road to success is often paved with adversity.
Hey, I just got off the interstellar transmitter with klattu.
He said they'll return in the year 4989.
Whoa! I better start cooking some pizzas! Michelangelo, they won't be back for another 3,000 years.
Why wait till the last minute? Oh! Ha ha ha.
