Once again, where are we going, Donatello? Okay, here it is again.
Now, April called from the old Floxy Theater.
She said there was something there we ought to see.
Hey, dudes, here's April on the tube now.
This is April O'Neil, Channel 6 News, at the famous Floxy Music Hall, which will soon be reopening as a new wave dance club, but not if the so-called Phantom of the Floxy, who, according to legend, has haunted this grand old theater for decades, has anything to say about it.
Tell me, sir, have you encountered any strange phenomenon while renovating the Floxy? Nope.
But I'm not workin' at the Floxy.
I'm workin' at the building across the street.
Ha ha.
Well, there you have it.
The Floxy Music Hall-- still as mysterious as ever.
[KRANG.]
Will you hurry up? I've conquered entire dimensions in the time it's taking you to repair the launch computer! There.
It's ready.
I want to show you my latest invention.
Just what is this invention of yours? It's just the thing to [IMITATING SHREDDER.]
"get us off this miserable asteroid," as you put it.
Behold! Energy accumulator! A vacuum cleaner.
Oh, neato.
We could use one of them around here.
Morons.
It's not a vacuum cleaner! It's an energy sponge that will soak up power from any source.
It is the solution to our problem.
But, Krang, we have no power source.
That is the problem.
Details, details.
Let me worry about finding the power.
You finish testing the launch circuits.
Here it is, guys: the fabulous Floxy Theater.
Whoa.
What a wreck.
Hi, guys.
Glad you could make it.
Hi, April.
We just saw your report.
You weren't serious about the Floxy being haunted, were you? Well, maybe not haunted, but we are up to our ears in strange phenomena here.
Mondo mysterioso, dudette.
What was that glow? If we knew, would we be calling you guys? Hey, Irma, how are you? Dudette, how you doin'? Hey, there, Ninja Turtles, and how do you do? I got a problem that's just for you You remember my friend Howie Hardy, the songwriter, don't you? How could we forget? Are you writing a rock opera about the Floxy, dude? Actually, I'm kind of between songwriting gigs, so I took this job computerizing the Floxy's old pipe organ.
But it's been doing some strange things, and we thought you'd better look at it.
Cowabunga! Check out that righteous pipe organ, dudes! Yes, she is a beauty, isn't she? Turtles, this is Eric, my assistant.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
I've heard a lot about you from Howie.
In song, I'm sure.
I told him we didn't need any help, but he insisted.
We do need help if we're gonna turn this organ into the most fantastic rock music synthesizer the world has ever seen.
Isn't he wonderful? So modest.
Howie, be careful! You know what might happen.
What could be worse than having to hear him play? And to hear him sing.
[ORGAN.]
It shakes the ceiling, and it rattles your bones It makes a sound that'll blow up your homes Hit the right key, and you'll think it's a scream Here it comes, baby, it's a nuclear beam [LOUD VIBRATING.]
Excellent! How'd you pull that off, dude? I don't know, and that's part of the problem.
Heads up, buds! It's raining balcony! Aah! Watch out! Donatello, follow me.
Raphael, Michelangelo, take care of our friends.
Low and inside.
Yeah, put it into the bleachers.
Howie, for Pete's sake, shut that thing off! That's the other part of the problem.
I can't.
[ALARM BLARES.]
"Launch test sequence aborted"? Shredder, you incompetent! You were supposed to fix it! Some sort of signal from Earth is causing the interference.
It wont be difficult to trace.
I'll do it.
At the rate you're going, you'll tune in some silly cartoon show.
Look, Krang.
The rays from that organ caused the launch computer to malfunction.
But that organ is spitting out incredible energy as well.
The energy accumulator could draw enough power from it to launch the Technodrome! I'll get down there at once.
What? The turtles? They're always in my way.
It is their show, you know.
This only happens when I play certain chords.
But I never know in advance which chord will cause it.
Let me try.
[MACHINERY HUMMING STOPS.]
Eric, did you do that? Yeah.
Uh, maybe.
I mean, I'm not sure what I did.
Eric is fantastic with computers.
Can you show me what you did, Eric? Maybe I can figure it out.
Uh, maybe later.
I've, uh, got something to do.
Helpful, isn't he? You know how weird these electronic geniuses can be.
We'd better adjust that mirrored ball so it deflects those rays upward through that hole and out into space.
Gnarly notion, dude.
That way, they won't harm innocent bystanders.
Right-- like us.
All you have to do is find the right combination of notes on the organ to produce those rays, direct them into the accumulator, then bring it back here.
Uhh! I don't remember volunteering to do any remodeling.
You almost got it, Dude.
There.
Now, let's get down from here.
That's what people think the Phantom of the Floxy looked like, Irma.
So, what's a weird guy like him doing in a place like this? He's the Phantom of the Floxy 'Cause he's got a lot of moxie Now he spends his day just hangin' around And lurkin' [ECHO.]
Lurkin', lurkin' In the theater Where he used to be workin' Ready with epoxy If he has to fix the Floxy The Phantom of the Floxy That's him The Phantom.
That irritating little weasel really would make a song out of anything.
Of course! That's it! [GASPS.]
It is? Where? The way to get to the organ without the turtles' interference.
I'll disguise myself as the Phantom.
We'll search the basement of this theater for an appropriate costume at once.
Aha! The perfect disguise.
Come.
Let us greet our friends the turtles and destroy them.
This is the strangest-looking pipe organ I've ever seen! Yeah, it sure is.
Of course, it's the only pipe organ I've ever seen.
Hey! What do you think you're doing?! What's the matter, Eric? You'd better get out of here.
The construction crew's coming back from lunch.
We'll come back after hours, when the coast is clear.
What's all this mess? You been knockin' this stuff down without a union card? Uhwell, not exactly.
Don't give me that.
Who else coulda done it, the Phantom? No but I might! Look! Leave this place at once, or know the wrath of the Phantom of the Floxy.
[ALL GASP.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Ha ha ha ha ha ha! [SHOUTING, SCREAMING.]
Hear me, all of you! Leave my beloved Floxy, or face dire consequences! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! There really is a Phantom of the Floxy! That's impossible! Uh, I mean, you're right.
You have been warned.
[SHOUTING, YELLING.]
Look out! Aaahh! Aaahh! Now to get those workers out of here for good.
Ahhuhh! Aaahh! Aaahh! Oh, no! Howie! He hit the organ table! [ELECTRONIC HUMMING.]
Oops.
[ELECTRONIC ZAPPING.]
Hey! What the-- Hey! [SHOUTING, CHATTER.]
April to turtles! Come in! What's happening, April? The Phantom's real! And he's here! And the organ's firing those rays again! We're on our way! [TIRES SCREECHING.]
[ELECTRONIC ZAPPING.]
That ought to keep them away from here long enough.
[BEEP BEEP BEEP.]
What is it, Krang? Shredder, what are you doing?! I'm getting readings from that organ, but no energy to the accumulator! And why are you wearing that ridiculous costume? I had to scare the workmen away, but I'm going to try the organ now.
Well, hurry up! I've conquered-- I know, I know.
You've conquered entire dimensions in less time.
Then how come you're just a blob of brains in a scrap-metal body, Krang? Well, if you're going to be insulting You will know when I've succeeded.
[BEEP.]
Come on, turtles! Let's get a look at this Phantom.
[PLAYS DESCENDING CHORDS.]
Oh, I wish I'd paid more attention to my piano teacher.
[APRIL.]
Oh, thank goodness you're here, guys! There's the Phantom now! Blast those turtles! You will never destroy my beloved Floxy.
He's getting away! Come on! Let's go! What's down there, Howie? The place is a real rabbit warren of basements and passageways.
You'll never find him.
Uh, uh, uh! With this, my new improved tracking module, we can find the Phantom.
You see, it locks onto specific shapes.
It can track them anywhere.
Whoa! Way cool, dude! That blip looks just like the Phantom's mask.
Well, that's the idea.
And the image gets bigger the closer we get to him.
[RAPID BEEPING.]
That way! [BEEPING.]
[SUSTAINED BEEP.]
There's a strong signal this way! [BEEPING.]
Ohtheir tracker must be defective.
They're walking right past me.
It's time to find out what's happening with the energy accumulator.
Those mutant morons should have it assembled by now.
You and that nerd pal of yours are responsible for all that mess in there.
No, Al.
It was the Phantom! It was that organ, and you're the ones been tinkerin' with it.
You're fired, both of youse.
It'll be all right, Howie.
Come on, Howie.
We'll take you home.
Good idea, April.
My Howie's in no condition to brave the subway.
I got fired, but it ain't my fault Uh-- Let's see.
Fault.
Fault, vault, taut, malt, salt-- No.
No.
He must not be himself if he's having trouble coming up with a song.
I should tell Eric what happened.
I'm sure Al will let him know.
[MOTOR STARTS.]
According to the tracking module, the Phantom is right near here.
Huh? There's a dozen masks.
What does that mean? Idon't know.
I've never seen it do that before.
[CHUCKLES.]
Well, maybe there's a daddy Phantom, a mommy Phantom, and a bunch of baby Phantoms.
Be careful, guys.
We're very close.
Michelangelo, what are you doing? I've got your Phantom, dude.
[MODULE BEEPING RAPIDLY.]
Here's Phantom number one.
Here's number two and threefour fivesix My tracker locked onto the masks, all right, but not the Phantom.
Oh, you read the directions the last time.
It's your turn to put the gizmo together.
Is not.
Is, too.
[STRUGGLING GRUNTS.]
Hi, guys.
The turtles! And I was thinki'' this trip to earth would be different.
[ELECTRONIC ZAPPING.]
Look out! Ohh! Ta-da, dudes! It's always the same old thing.
We hear the turtles, attack the turtles, see the turtles Look out! Aaaahh! get clobbered [BOTH.]
by the turtles.
So that's what those two have in common.
Whoa! That's a really high-tech vacuum cleaner, amigo.
It's not a vacuum cleaner.
It's-- It's mine! The Phantom! So you, too, would take from the Phantom what is rightfully his.
Oh, spare us the voice of doom bit, masked man.
It's four against one.
No reason you should fear him.
He's a fraud! Two of them? He's the imposter! I'm the real Phantom of the Floxy! We're back Uhdon't look now, guys, but I think the odds just got a little evener.
Hey, we live for danger.
Youare an imposter! There's only one Phantom of the Floxy! Quite soand it is I! Ain't that, "It is me," Boss? Quiet, you numbskulls.
I recognize that voice.
That Phantom is Shredder! Thenwho's the other one? Whoa! [CHATTER, SHOUTING.]
We'll take care of you shellbacks.
Think again, dudes.
Eat scenery! Yaaahhh! Whoa! I'll have these guys rolling in the aisles.
Look out! Whoa! Yaahh! Aah! We'll deal with these turtles later.
We must complete the energy accumulator.
Right, Boss.
We've gotta find out what Shredder's up to.
You two follow Shredder.
We'll find out who this Phantom is.
There's that Phantom dude! We've got you now.
Ohh! Oh, that Phantom is one solid dude.
He's above us! Enough! Enough, already! I give up! Eric? Eric? Well, yes and no.
Well, we lost Shredder, but we tracked the Phantom with my tracking module, and-- Who is that? Uh, maybe you should ask what is that.
Actually, my name is Erk.
I'm from a planet far away from your earth.
Here.
My race has the ability to change our shape.
So when my spaceship crash-landed here I chose the Phantom guise to keep my secret.
The pipe organ is your ship! So, like, what were those rays, little blue dude? I don't know.
Howie did something to the organ or, the ship when I wasn't there.
And now I don't know how to repair it.
I'll bet those rays are what brought Shredder here.
I can't allow my ship to fall into the wrong hands.
There aren't any wronger hands than Shred-head's, amigos.
Guys, we need to have a little chat with Howie.
[DOG BARKS.]
You did what? I used the leftover alien microchips in the Floxy's pipe organ.
That means those chips are also power cells.
If I cross-circuit the star drive intermix matrix with the flex capacitor, it might work! Where'd you get those microchips, Howie? Well it's a long story.
But here's a short flashback.
They came from some alien computer that Shredder and Krang got hold of.
They almost brought the Technodrome back to earth because of those chips.
I'm sorry, guys, but they made such beautiful music.
I couldn't bear to part with them.
Well, you're gonna help Erk rig them before Shredder helps himself to them.
Erk? Who's that? [ELECTRONIC MODULATING.]
What's going on? Ericwhat are you doing?! [ELECTRONIC VIBRATING.]
Aaahh! Alien invasion! [IRMA.]
Yoo-hoo Anybody home? Hello! Any phantoms in here? Heh heh! Mutants! Yeow! Aaahh! Oh, is that any way to greet old friends? Heh heh heh! Heh heh heh! [SNORTS.]
Let go of us, you big lummoxes! Well, well.
What a surprise.
If it isn't the nosy Miss O'Neil.
What am I, chopped liver? Nobut when the Technodrome returns to earth, you will soon wish you were.
No way.
I don't even like chopped liver.
Tie them up.
They may prove useful if those pesky turtles come back.
Now it is time for the greatest performance of my career! [PLAYS CHORD.]
[LOW, HEAVY TONES.]
Oh! If that's the greatest, I'd hate to hear the worst.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
I can't believe it! I worked with an alien whose name is Erk If Shredder gets that spaceship, you'll be a big jerk What was that? It's us, Shredder in time to thwart your evil scheme.
[TURTLES.]
Turtle pow-- April! Irma! Hi, guys.
Attack me, and your friends will pay, turtles.
Come on, Howie.
You've got to show me how you wired that circuit.
[LOW TONE.]
[FULL CHORD, DEEP TONE.]
Oh, no! The rays have started up! Excellent, Shredder! The light on the accumulator is working! Of course because I did it.
Hey, look, Bebop there we go! Oh, yeah.
Uh, good-lookin', ain't we? What are you two doing?! You're suppose to be holding the rope.
What? An alien.
And that musician.
You were warned, shellbacks.
Rocksteady, Bebop, let go of the rope.
Aaaaahhh! The green machine! Thanks, Leonardo.
It's our pleasure, April.
[TURTLES.]
Turtle power! You're too late, turtles.
The energy accumulator is drawing all the power to the Technodrome.
And I rewired that circuit.
Then those alien chips are power cells.
Just what I need! [WHOOSHING.]
What? No! [OSCILLATING.]
Shredder, the accumulator is drawing energy from the Technodrome! Stop it! Stop it yourself, Krang.
Just get me out of here! [WHOOSHING.]
Ohh! [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
So long, Erk.
Come and see us again.
Earth's a great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live here.
Have a nice trip! Later! Fasten your seat belt! Good-bye! So long, buddy! Take it easy! See you later! [APRIL.]
Gee, I wish I had my camera.
You guys battling Shredder and those mutants? And a little blue man from outer space! The turtles saved the day With a friend named Erk From the Milky Way Oh, Howie that's great.
[HOWIE.]
Hey there, ninja turtles Whoever said that rock 'n' roll will never die never had to listen to Howie.
