NINJA: We must tap into that energy source.
[VAN APPROACHING.]
LEONARDO: Hit it, Michelangelo.
TURTLES: Turtle power! RAPHAEL: I take it you guys don't believe in "No Trespassing" signs.
Bah! You freaks of nature are no match for our ninja prowess.
Hey, dude, nobody out-ninjas the Turtles.
[GRUNTING.]
Whoa, dudes, this is no place for roughhousing.
W-w-wow.
Talk about a long jump.
Wanna dance, Skinny Boy? [GRUNTING.]
You fence excellently.
But I have one piece of advice: your backstroke needs work.
We must retreat! Not so fast, nin-jerk.
For daring to oppose us you will face the fury of Megavolt.
Mega-who? [YELPS.]
Hang on, amigo.
Have you back in a flash, dude.
After them.
MICHELANGELO: Whoa, talk about a slick exit.
Who do you suppose those dudes were? And what did he mean: we would face the fury of Megavolt? Well, maybe we should be careful around common household appliances.
I got this thing.
I can't make out what it says.
DONATELLO: Huh.
Must have been written by a doctor.
Maybe I could figure it out with my decoding equipment at the lair.
It's worth a shot.
Let's go.
[.]
[TIRES SCREECH.]
This is the third ninja-style attack tonight.
There can be no doubt, they are the work of the city's most notorious criminals, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
No doubt about it.
We've got to get a new publicity agent.
At this rate the whole city will blame us.
Then we've got to find out what those ninjas are up to.
Donatello, see if you can get this writing decoded.
DONATELLO: There's only two full words.
The first is Emeryville.
That's the name of the power station where we fought those ninjas.
And the other is Green Power.
Green Power? Come on! Green Power is the name of the new alternate-energy research company.
They already tried to hit a power plant.
And Green Power could be where they'll strike next.
Right.
Oh, what now? KNIGHT: Freeze! Wesley Knight, Colonel US Armed Forces.
You four are my prisoners.
Who are those nutballs? I don't know, but if they think they're going to capture us, they're dreaming.
[.]
Ever get shelled by a turtle? We've got the tools and we've got the talent.
Let's take them, men.
Take this, meathead.
Give me that, you militaristic dude.
Hit the deck! [SHOUTING.]
Hey, where'd they go? I've got orders to put those turtles away.
And I'm going to do it.
[.]
Who the heck are these guys? "Dark Water"? LEONARDO: That's right, April, Dark Water.
Know anything about it? APRIL [ON TURTLECOM.]
: A little.
What's going on? I haven't heard from you since this ninja crime wave started.
RAPHAEL: Yeah, well, we've had our hands full.
APRIL: Dark Water trains the Army's top commandos.
They also create super high-tech military weapons.
It's all top secret.
So, like, how come you know so much about it? APRIL: Oh, I dated one of their scientists a while back.
Well, see what else you can dig up on the organization, April.
We don't know why, but they're after us.
Sure.
But what's this all about? And where are you? Were at the Green Power building.
Uh-oh.
But we may not be here long, later.
[.]
There they go, We've got to follow them.
They may lead us straight to their headquarters.
RAPHAEL: And to Megavolt.
Whoever he is.
Okay, let's see what the files turn up about Dark Water.
O'Neil! There's been a break-in at the Green Power building.
Ten-to-one it's those turtles again.
Get at it! Go, go, go.
The guys said they were just there.
But they couldn't have.
I'll get to the bottom of this.
They must be using that old aircraft hanger as their headquarters.
[.]
Well done, men.
Thanks to my training, nothing is safe from you.
And when I capture the power source I need, we will command the entire city.
This high-capacity battery will keep me going in the meantime.
The power is mine.
RAPHAEL: I may be going out on a limb here, but I think that guy might be Megavolt.
And I'd say he's not going to be easy to stop.
Guys like that always have a plan.
We got to find out what it is.
How? You gonna waltz in and ask him? As a matter as fact, yeah.
ALL: What? Just follow my lead.
Now, troops, we must prepare for the final assault.
LEONARDO: Not so fast, Megavolt.
Who are you? How do you know my name? We know a lot about you.
In fact, we want to join your organization.
And why should I let four deviants like you into my outfit? Haven't you heard, buddy? We're the city's most notorious criminals.
And we'll prove it by defeating a team of your best ninjas.
Well, you've got guts, I admit.
But there's only one way to join this outfit and that's by defeating me.
[YELPING.]
Leonardo, the next time you have a great plan, remind me not to listen.
[LAUGHING.]
Now you see the power of Megavolt.
So that's why he needs so much energy.
He can turn power into matter.
Yeah, and he can turn us into shish kebabs.
You fools.
A frontal attack will do you no good.
How about a side attack, dude? Now! Now for the coup de grâce.
You show no fear.
That is good.
You will have the honor of joining my ninjas.
Commander, we have discovered the location of the lab at last.
MEGAVOLT: Well done, men.
I have a special mission for you.
To steal the prize I've been seeking for months.
And to make sure you have no second thoughts, six of my ninja warriors will accompany you.
OFFICER: We're certain this crime was committed by the ninjas who are terrorizing the city.
This traditional ninja weapon was clearly used to force the door.
APRIL: Ah.
That's Raphael's sai.
[SIRENS BLARING.]
DONATELLO: Guys, we can't go through with this.
But if we find out what Megavolt's after, it may give us a clue how to stop him.
MICHELANGELO: That dude had us break into a furniture company? [TURTLECOM BEEPS.]
The Turtlecom.
Not now, ignore it.
Guys, come in.
Guys, it's April.
What's going on? [PHONE BEEPS.]
April here.
BURNE: O'Neil? A silent alarm just tripped at the DW Furniture Company.
Check it out.
I'm on it.
Whoa.
RAPHAEL: Something tells me they don't make sofa beds back here.
DONATELLO: It's looks like some super-concentrated form of energy.
Dudes, we can't let them get away with this.
We won't.
Get ready to jump them.
KNIGHT: Don't even twitch.
I knew you green weirdos were responsible for all this trouble.
Men, capture those turtles and their accomplices.
All right! Turtles rule! I don't believe it, the guys are in league with those ninjas.
They've turned bad.
Come on, our only way out of here is to stick with the ninjas.
We'll meet again, turtles.
And when we do, you're mine.
[.]
At last, the most powerful, most compact source of energy ever invented.
You have served well, turtles.
Then we've earned the right to know what this is all about.
Hm.
I thought you knew so much about me.
Of course, there's no way you could have known how I was their top fighter, skilled in all the marital arts.
But then, they did this to me, they made me this way and now they will pay.
ALL: Whoa.
Whoa, that is one ugly dude.
But now I have their own source of unlimited energy.
Stop him! [GRUNTING.]
The transformation is complete.
Alex Winter is no more.
And now there is only Megavolt.
Now I can create charged matter on a mass scale, including a new suit of armor.
We've got to break through this armor somehow.
Ah, you puny insects can't stop me now.
We're turtles, bub, you're the insect.
Enough.
[YELPING.]
[.]
He's getting away.
Guys, I think we're heading for a fall.
[TURTLES YELP.]
The time has come for revenge.
[GRUNTS.]
We've got to follow him.
Come on.
MICHELANGELO: Does anyone have the faintest idea what this is all about? No.
But at least we know Megavolt's real name is Alex Winter.
But who do you suppose he meant when he said, they did all this to him? And what about that science lab disguised as a furniture company? Named DW Incorporated.
DW? Do you suppose all this has something to do with Dark Water? Well, there's one person who might know.
April, we need your help.
You've got to find out about Alex Winter.
He calls himself Megavolt now, but he may have been a Dark Water agent.
Why? To help you pull off your next crime? I saw you with those ninjas.
But-- But, April, no.
We're trying to-- KNIGHT: All right, freeze.
Oh, man, not again.
This time I've got you slippery reptiles.
I hate to agree with that meathead, but he may be right.
[.]
KNIGHT: Ha.
You turtles won't escape from me now.
So, like, what do we do? There's only one thing to do.
We surrender.
You heard him, we sur-- What? We've got to get some straight answers.
This may be the only way.
APRIL: I saw the turtles and those other ninjas escape with the stolen energy cube.
And now they want me to give them top-secret information about a man who worked for Dark Water.
Some guy who calls himself Megavolt.
How could you find out anything about a Dark Water agent anyway? I dated a guy who works for them, but if the turtles have gone bad, I'd be betraying our own country.
Oh, if only there was some way I could know for sure.
April, there's some kind of crazed electric insect tearing through the city! Mr.
Thompson, are you sure you're feeling all right? Get on it right now.
This thing calls itself Megavolt.
Did you say, Megavolt? KNIGHT: All right, you four, why did you steal Dark Water's new power source, huh? DONATELLO: We told you, we were trying to infiltrate the ninjas' organization.
And we found out it's being run by a man named Alex Winter.
Listen to me, you scum, Alex Winter was the greatest agent Dark Water ever had.
And he made the ultimate sacrifice for his country.
You've got to believe us, he's still out there.
And he's got some kind of weird electrical power.
And he's gone totally bonkers.
KNIGHT: You're talking about a hero, mister.
For all I care, you can rot.
Maybe that guy should switch to decaf.
What a mess.
Megavolt's on the loose, we're locked up, and the only person who can help us is April.
Yeah, and she thinks we're the bad guys.
All in all, not one of our better days.
[TURTLECOM BEEPS.]
APRIL: Guys, where are you? Ah, I don't think you really want to know, April.
It's important.
I found out about Alex Winter.
We're at Dark Water headquarters.
Under arrest.
Uh, uh, I'll have you out in a few minutes.
And, guys? Yeah, dudette? I'm sorry I ever doubted you.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
MEGAVOLT: Get out of here, puny civilians.
Within the hour I will have my revenge.
[SCREAMING.]
[METAL CREAKING.]
KNIGHT: You've got 10 seconds to tell me why I shouldn't lock you up as an accomplice to these four.
Because of this.
It's a file on Operation Ultima, Dark Water's plan to create the ultimate warrior.
Operation Ultima was a failure.
I know all about it.
Oh, yeah? Did you know that the test subject was a man named Alex Winter? What? You-- You're right.
Operation Ultima wasn't a failure.
It gave Winter the power to create charged matter from his fingertips.
But it left him hideously ugly.
So the dude trained a bunch of ninjas to steal energy sources for his power.
And now that he has your new super-energy source, he's out for revenge.
Revenge? Revenge against whom? Whom to you think, pal? Against Dark Water itself.
He's made himself a suit of charged-matter body armor.
And he was spotted 20 minutes ago heading west, out of town.
West? Why, he must be going toward our main research facility.
LEONARDO: How can you be sure? Because that's where Operation Ultima was carried out.
I've got to mobilize the men.
You're free to go.
For now.
We've seen what Megavolt can do.
Those guys won't stand a chance against him.
Let's get the van.
[.]
Halt.
Whatever you are.
[SCREAMING.]
The weapons lab.
Perfect.
A prototype explosive.
[BEEPING.]
[.]
Men, take up your positions.
[.]
Very impressive, Knight, but you're too late.
In three minutes this place will be blown sky-high.
These labs are filled with chemicals and mutagens.
An explosion would send them into the atmosphere.
And into the city.
Open fire! Ha-ha-ha.
Your toys can't hurt me.
This is hopeless.
No, it isn't.
Step aside and give a turtle a crack at it.
How can you get past him? In less than two minutes this place is going to blow.
We put too much stock in that guy's power.
It's just electricity.
And electricity can be stopped.
I get what you're thinking.
Raphael, come with me.
You guys get ready to load the explosive into the van.
Hey, Bug Breath, over here.
You dare mock me? Sure we do, you over-stuffed roach.
What a story.
This will change Burne's tune.
You aim's about as good as your luck, Scrunchface.
This looks like the explosive.
And we've only got 30 seconds.
Let's book, compadre.
Come on, Larva Brain.
Hit us with your best shot.
That I will.
All right! We short-circuited him.
We just need the right moment to strike.
Oh, it can't be, I'm powerless.
Hurry, Michelangelo.
MICHELANGELO: Cowabunga! DONATELLO: Without energy, he can't generate any charged matter.
He's harmless.
I have to admit it, you succeeded where we failed.
Now do you believe we're on the same side? Yes.
Ahem.
Of course, officially, I'm still under orders to bring you four in.
But if you ever need help in the future, I'll do whatever I can.
I'm going to turn my back for 30 seconds and I suggest you clear out of here before-- That was quick.
Yeah, they do that.
I have a feeling I'm going to be hearing from those turtles again.
You aren't kidding, Colonel Knight.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
The whole city's going to be hearing from them.
