Whoo! [shouts.]
[crash.]
You must concentrate, Leonardo.
First, see you enemy's defeat in your mind.
Then your body will follow.
[panting.]
Yes, Master Splinter.
[karate yells.]
Oh, there's got to be something to eat around here.
I'm having a mega-munchie attack.
Not your first tonight, is it? The cupboards are bare.
Hey, dude, I'm a growing teenager.
The problem is, we're all a little lair-crazy.
Too much time in the sewers'll do it every time.
I say we bust out of here for a breather.
And-- news flash-- the Video Madness arcade just got in a brand-new shipment of games! All right! Gnarly notion, dudes.
Let's grab Leonardo and hit the streets.
[karate yells.]
Hey, it's the Shred-head.
How did he get past us? I'm warning you, can-face, I've got a black belt in black eyes.
Hold it, fellas.
It's only a [all exclaiming.]
[blows landing.]
I tried to tell 'em.
Uh-oh.
[Splinter.]
Congratulations, my students.
It only took 3 of you to defeat 1 dummy.
Looks like we're the real dummies.
Hey, speak for yourself, dude.
Okay, the coast is clear.
It sure was nice of the owner to let us use the arcade after hours.
[Michelangelo.]
Whoa! Scope out all those games! Power up.
This place is video heaven! [Michelangelo.]
There's Slime Surfer! Radical! Forget that.
I'm playing Turbo Tentacles! [Donatello.]
Oh, there's Brain Buster.
I've been waiting for a chance at that one.
Which one are you playing, Leonardo? I haven't decided.
[female voice.]
Why not try your hand at Tempestra's Revenge? Huh? Or are you afraid to accept Tempestra's challenge? Me, afraid? I've beaten every game in this arcade at least twice.
Wait a minute.
I'm talking to a video game here.
Tempestra's Revenge is the ultimate challenge.
Pit your skills against the evil mistress of universal power, if you dare.
That does it! Lady, you're on! [whirring, blasting.]
We'll see who beats who.
[yawns.]
Come on, Sleeping Beauty.
Rise and shine.
I don't believe it.
It's almost dawn, and Leonardo is still on that same video game.
[Michelangelo.]
Yo, dude, it's cock-a-doodle-doo time.
We've got to blow this joint.
In a minute.
I've almost got her this time.
Oh, look out.
She's getting her revenge.
Leap over that canyon! [Michelangelo.]
She's gone totally gonzo! Dodge the ice bombs! And watch out for the fireballs! [Michelangelo.]
Dude, you crashed and burned.
Give it up for tonight.
But I nearly beat her.
Honest.
Sure you did.
Please, guys, just one more time.
[footsteps.]
Uh-oh.
It's the night watchman.
Let's make turtle tracks.
I'll be back, Tempestra! Come on, Leonardo.
Move it.
Oh, too late.
Hey, what's been going on in here? Someone's been playing the video games.
[rustling.]
Who's there? I can hear you.
Come back here, you lawbreaking punks! [switch clicks.]
Well, at least they were neat lawbreaking punks.
Thanks, Leonardo.
Maybe next time we could cut it even closer.
I tell you, fellas, I should've beaten that video game! Face it, dude-- You've met your match.
Yeah.
Put that video vixen out of your mind.
Oh, if only I could.
Yo, Leonardo, don't you want to scarf some pizza? Earth to Leonardo.
Your shell is here, but where's the rest of you? I whipped up your number-one fave-- shredded coconut and sweet pickles.
Huh? Oh, thanks, Michelangelo, but I'm not hungry.
Master Splinter is worried.
He says you've been missing ninja practice the last few evenings.
[scoffs.]
And you're supposed to be our inspiration.
So that's your problem.
You're still letting that video game get to you.
A video game? Me? No way.
Those things are for kids.
If you ask me, that kid has been sneaking off to the arcade.
[turtles snoring.]
[groaning.]
No! No! You'll never defeat me, Leonardo.
Never! [laughing.]
I can't let her beat me! [thunder crashing.]
Okay, Tempestra, this time I've got you! Yes! I made it to the 13th level! I'm winning! [electricity crackles.]
[groans, coughs.]
Oh! What happened? [chuckles.]
My attack too much for you, Leonardo? Tempestra! You You're alive! Yes, Leonardo, thanks to you.
No one has ever reached the final level of the game before.
This isn't exactly what I expected.
Well, that's what makes it interesting, don't you think? But now the stakes have risen, my green friend.
Now you are playing for the fate of the world.
[crying out.]
[laughing.]
Somehow I've released this evil force into the world! I need the Turtles, but I can't reach my Turtle Com! [laughing maniacally.]
[laughing.]
We'll see just how good a player you really are, Leonardo, now that the fate of the world is in your hands.
[groans.]
Leonardo calling Turtles.
Leonardo calling Turtles.
What do you think you're doing? Uh, just reaching out to touch someone.
Oh, no, you don't.
Hurry, guys! This is serious! Wake up! [snoring.]
[beeping.]
[yawns.]
It's your dime.
This had better be good.
Make tracks to the video arcade! Now! Why? Have you reached a new level? No gag, fellas.
It's doomsday if you guys don't get here in a flash! Is this about that Tempestra game? Yes, but there's been a new development! She's alive! Yep, it finally happened.
The dude has flipped his shell.
It's time for the old rubber aquarium.
This contest is between Leonardo and me! Stay out of it, Turtles.
I don't believe it.
Could this actually be Tempestra? She's alive? That's what I've been trying to tell you guys.
I've warned you! Stay out of this, shell-backs! Yow! Don't forget to see your friends anytime soon.
[laughing.]
Whoa-oa! Whoa! High tide! The tunnel's flooded.
We can't get out! [Tempestra laughing.]
Look, lady, what's got you so burned up, anyway? You'd be angry too if you'd spent your entire life imprisoned in this stupid video game! Whoa! Whoa! Now, now.
Temper, temper.
I haven't begun to show my temper, lizard-face! “Lizard-face”? And I thought we were getting along so nicely.
Escaping into your dimension wasn't easy.
I won't use up my valuable power arguing with a mere turtle.
By the way, how did you get here? Obviously, the electrical surge, combined with your computer input, created a hyper-field vacuum, pulling me through this dimension.
Obviously.
Where's Donatello when I need him? I've waited too long for this moment.
The time has come to finally unleash Tempestra's revenge! [laughing.]
Oh, that female video chip is starting to get under my shell.
I'd better take this computer circuit board.
It could be the only chance to recapture Tempestra.
[Raphael.]
How's the diving bell coming, Donatello? I need more metal.
More metal.
Right.
Dude, we're aquatic creatures, remember? How come we need a diving bell? Because even a turtle can't stand per square inch.
Here, you can use our supply of pizza pans.
Great.
Oh, no! Not my pizza pans! I'm afraid so.
Oh, man, the sacrifices we Turtles are called on to make.
So, Leonardo, we meet again.
You're on my turf now, Tempestra.
Perhaps you've overestimated your skills, upstart reptile.
This should hold you in your place.
[laughing.]
[karate yells.]
Ha-ha-ha! Points for Leonardo! This will take care of you in no time flat! Whoa! Hy-yah! You'll have to do better than that, Tempestra.
Don't worry.
I intend to.
Try this on your seismograph for size! [rumbling.]
Whoa! [laughing.]
It's an earthquake! Leonardo, jump! [grunting.]
Thanks for the lift, April.
That was a mighty close call.
Who whipped up this little shake and bake recipe anyway? Would you believe, a video game? [Tempestra laughing.]
Now to give the humans a taste of what's to come.
Tempestra will reign! [laughing.]
Okay, Vernon, you're on.
I am? Oh.
[coughs.]
Good morning.
Evening.
Oh, right.
Uh, evening.
This is Channel, uh Oh, yes.
Channel 6 weather update.
The current temperature is a balmy 74.
Uh, no, I mean, it's 12.
Wait-Wait a minute.
Oh, no, it's minus-3 degrees.
Uh, a last-minute correction.
It's 98 or is it 32? Don't ask me.
[Tempestra laughing.]
Okay, so Vernon's not so good.
But he's all we've got.
[Burne.]
Irma, get in here! Y-Yes, sir, Mr.
Thompson.
Right away, sir.
I guess there's no hot news in here.
[Burne.]
Irma, get in here! Oh, why do I just know this is gonna end up being my fault? Mr.
Thompson! It's 112 degrees in here.
Do something! And get that idiot Vernon off the air! Yes, sir.
Right away, sir.
And I believed them when they said this job was a promotion.
I'm glad you're all okay, Donatello.
Oh, don't worry about us.
I'm working on a plan to free us.
What a coincidence.
So am I.
We'll keep tracking your Turtle Com signal.
[static.]
Donatello, you're breaking up! April What could be causing such strong interference? This, the new nuclear power generator.
Let's hurry, April.
It looks like Tempestra's having a snack attack.
“A snack attack”? She may look human, but she's still a computer chip.
I think I may have found her weakness.
Tempestra's powers need power.
I hope this little detour doesn't inconvenience you, Leonardo.
There.
The nuclear generator is that way, April.
We have to stop her from getting a fresh power supply.
[April.]
Right.
This is too easy.
A little fog might make it more challenging.
This awful fog-- I can't see where we're going.
April, look out! [screams.]
We're going off the bridge! [both screaming.]
[both screaming.]
Hang on, April! [crash.]
I don't believe it! It's Gigantus, the world's biggest roller coaster! At least we avoided the lines.
Oh, we're going over! Hang on! [both screaming.]
Try to keep it on the tracks! I'm just trying to keep my lunch! Whoa-oa! [gasping.]
We made it! Want to go again? Just kidding.
I must be recharged, and soon.
A good jolt of nuclear power will do the trick.
Then no one will ever be able to stop me.
When we open the outside door, this watertight hatch should flood, lifting us to the surface.
You sure this is gonna work? It better.
Soggy pizza can be a real drag.
Hey! Watch it with the elbow! Yo, dude, your foot is in my ear.
Or is that my foot? Well, okay, guys, so it's a little uncomfortable.
This isn't a pleasure trip.
You got that right.
I will engulf the plant and absorb its nuclear energy.
I can already feel the power.
[thunder crashes.]
Look, there she is.
And she's about to load up on some nuclear kilowatts.
We've got to stop her! Well, Leonardo, who is your pretty companion? I'm April O'Neil, Channel 6 News.
Perhaps you've seen me.
I don't watch the news, I make it! Now if you'll excuse me, I have some serious recharging to do.
[laughing.]
I've got an idea.
It's a 1-in-a-million chance.
Right now, those sound like pretty terrific odds.
[Raphael.]
Hang a left! A left! [Donatello.]
Oh, I'd love to, but this thing doesn't have a steering wheel.
[groans.]
Oh, major wipeout, dudes.
Raphael, are you still picking up April's Turtle Com signal? Yeah.
I think we're getting closer.
We've got to make our move now.
Hey, Tempestra, over here! There is no counterattack this time, Leonardo! There'd better be.
Your batteries are dead.
And I thought you were supposed to be all-powerful.
What a joke! [laughing.]
A joke, am I? Leonardo, what are you doing? You'll see.
Do not challenge the power of Tempestra! You don't look so powerful to me.
Uh, she's getting awfully steamed.
I'm counting on it.
You fool! I am programmed to win at any cost! Perhaps these creatures will convince you.
[all roaring, screeching.]
She's about out of juice.
These guys are her last-ditch effort.
Not bad for a gal with a weak battery.
Don't worry.
I can handle whatever she can dish out I hope.
[Donatello.]
According to my calculations, they should be directly above us.
[roaring.]
I hope Leonardo finishes 'em off in time for the 11:00 news.
Cowabunga! [gasps.]
I thought you'd never get here.
Sorry for the delay.
We had this minor plumbing problem.
[roaring.]
Oh, yeah? There, dude.
Maybe that'll teach you not to play with fire.
I think it's about time someone cut you down to size.
[electricity crackling.]
This one's on me, fellas.
Hy-yah! There's no charge for that.
That turtle tricked me! I must have immediate power to defeat him! A nuclear generator explosion will take care of that.
Leonardo, stop her! She's going to blow up the nuclear generator! I'm afraid I'll just have to short-circuit that idea, Tempestra.
No-o-o! You've made the board an electromagnetic energy field.
[Leonardo.]
Okay, if you say so.
[Tempestra's voice.]
Beaten by a turtle! No-o-o! [crackling.]
Final points-- Leonardo! “Tubuloso” move, dude.
She was definitely “shell-lacked.
” Turtles everywhere are proud of you.
Tell the world how you did it, Leonardo.
Well, the secret to winning video games is all in the wrist.
Hey, Leonardo, want to stop in for a game or 2? Forget it.
A couple of pizzas and a good movie will do just fine.
[tires screeching.]
[horn honking.]
Look out, Leonardo! Whoa, dudes, check that out! I guess some villainesses just don't know when to quit.
[theme.]
