[ Man Narrating .]
Previously on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Once I absorb the mental energy of Shredder and Krang, I'll have enough knowledge and power to conquer all the galaxies.
Congratulations! You're normal again! All right, way to go, dude! Carter? Take care, guys.
I'll write you from college.
Transporter coordinates are locked onto Shredder and Krang in Dimension X.
Welcome.
I am Dregg, conqueror of worlds.
I have brought you here so that together we can destroy the Turtles and rule the Earth.
In that case, I suppose we have only one choice.
Oh, great.
What's holding up the traffic now? [ Gasps .]
Get moving.
- Now! - [ Both Grunt .]
Transporter locked on.
You'll regret the day you crossed me, Dregg.
[ Dregg .]
After I drain the mutagen from the Turtles, and absorb your mental energy, I shall transform myself into the most powerful and intelligent being in all the universe.
Oh, and by the way, you'll all be drained of your life energy in the process.
Proceed, Mung.
Dregg! Stop! It's working, Lord Dregg.
It's working! [ Crashing .]
[ Gasps .]
Thank you for helping to bring my true power to light.
Now I possess all of your mental and physical strength.
I can see your memories in my mind as well as Krang's and-- What? Uh-- I can't access Shredder's brain waves.
He's gone! Find him you fools and bring him back to me.
Put the others into their cells.
Yes, Lord Dregg.
- Not so fast, bug face.
- Huh? Go, Green Team! Your weak reptilian brains obviously haven't realized that by possessing your mental energy, I also possess your ninja skills.
All of them.
[ All Groaning .]
Looks like our Turtle power just had a power failure, dudes.
I don't feel so good.
With our life energy drained, we-we haven't got much time left.
Come on, Mung.
I've got a galaxy to conquer.
[ Groaning .]
There must be a way out of here.
When you figure it out, wake me up.
Come on, guys.
We can't give up now.
So that's how the force fields are shut off.
Must escape Dreggnaught.
Get life energy transfusion.
Yes, and then we'll return and destroy this Lord Dregg.
[ Gasping .]
You've got to get us out of here, April.
I know, but how? [ Grunts .]
[ Screams .]
[ Beeps .]
Carter.
It's me, April! [ Raphael .]
It's the bulkhead.
It's too thick.
Use a higher frequency.
[ Static .]
Hello? Carter! Can you hear me? [ Static .]
Carter! It's April.
Please answer if you can hear me.
[ Beeps .]
I read you, but you're breaking up.
Everything all right? I'm in the Dreggnaught with the Turtles.
Dregg has drained their life energy! They haven't got much time.
Tell 'em to hang on.
I'll be there as fast as I can.
Shredder, hurry! I've got to set the coordinates to transport us back to Earth.
[ Dregg .]
That won't be necessary.
You can't get away, Shredder.
I possess Krang's memories as well as the Turtles'-- [ Krang's Voice .]
so I know just how you think.
You're wasting your time.
The satellite dish will never reach me.
And the intruder tranquilizer gas system has already been shut off.
You do know how I think, Dregg.
Yes.
I can anticipate your thoughts before you can even think them.
Perhaps.
But, can you anticipate your Bat-men's thoughts? [ Gasping .]
The air! Contact the power plant.
I want them brought back here.
Immediately, Lord Dregg.
The control chip should be on the motherboard.
This will be Dregg's undoing.
There are four search parties out looking for Shredder and Krang now, Lord Dregg.
Very well.
It's time to plan my attack on Earth and punish its inhabitants for their inferiority.
There's a wealth of evil in Krang's memories.
Wait! That's it! I know how to conquer Earth and the galaxy.
Mung! Switch on the virtual reality simulator.
As you wish, my lord.
I'll input the data directly from my brain.
The simulator will tell us if my plan will work.
I'll use the vortex transporter to transport a piece of the sun into the heart of Earth's cities.
Oh.
[ Panting .]
It's incredible.
Incredibly brilliant.
And it works.
I'll turn every major city into a sea of boiling gas until they beg me to take their planet.
And if they refuse? I'll turn the Earth into another sun.
But they won't refuse.
And neither will any of the other inhabited planets in this sector.
Soon the entire galaxy will be mine! Lock targeting coordinates onto the largest city in the United States.
It is done, Lord Dregg.
[ Beeping .]
Now, to transport a piece of the sun into the center of the city.
[ Laughs .]
Yes.
Any second now, a piece of the sun will be transported into the center of the city.
[ Gasps .]
Something's wrong, my lord.
The transporter isn't responding.
That's impossible.
You underestimated the intelligence of Shredder.
[ Beeping .]
He's right, Lord Dregg.
Shredder has taken the subspace amplification chip.
We can't transport anything over 1,000 miles without it.
Without that chip, my plans are worthless! Lord Dregg, you can still-- [ Gulps .]
take over the Earth.
Then when we've got the chip back-- [ Coughs .]
you can conquer the galaxy.
Hmm.
I'm listening.
Ohh, oh! [ Clears Throat .]
We can dematerialize out of Earth's structures and transport it to the power plant, where the Microbots can rebuild it into an invasion force.
Very well.
Proceed with the plan.
And send out another four patrols to find Shredder and Krang.
I want that chip! Hmm.
According to my Turtlecom tracker, Dregg's vortex transporter is in that nuclear power plant.
Oh, this must be the transporter control.
Now, if I can just lock onto the Dreggnaught.
Where are the controls so I can shut down the force fields? - Over there! - [ Exclaims .]
Say good-bye to your reptile friends, Earthman.
I never should have neutralized my mutation.
I'm helpless without it.
[ Straining .]
Carter, use the skills Splinter taught you.
Save yourself.
[ Carter .]
No! I've gotta get you out! Looking for me? [ Krang .]
Haven't got much time.
Be still.
I know what to do.
What's wrong, Carter? April and the guys are in prison on Dregg's ship.
I can't help them without my mutant powers.
I never should have neutralized my mutation.
Carter, you have all the power you need within you, including your mutant powers.
What are you talking about? Donatello's ray-- Only neutralized the mutagen, but your genes have been permanently altered.
That means I still may be able to mutate.
But how? How does the chameleon change its color? Ah, it's no use.
I can't do it.
Do not despair, Carter.
When the power is needed, the power will be there.
They're not going to make it if I don't get them help soon.
If that Bat-man's as dumb as he looks, I may have one chance.
[ Groans .]
There's no more air in my cell! I-I-I can't breathe! [ Screams .]
[ Screams .]
Sleep tight, sweetheart.
Come on, guys! I gotta get you out of here! [ All Groan .]
Where are you taking us? Hopefully somewhere safer than here.
I can't wait any longer to see if I'm gonna mutate, Sensei.
I've gotta get back to the Dreggnaught and rescue the others.
Bringing the others home is not bringing them back to health.
I know.
But they need a life energy transfusion.
Where am I gonna find more mutant turtles? In time, you shall find your answer.
But I don't have the time.
That's it! Time! Now, if I can bounce a radio message off the star it should return to Earth If my calculations are correct, help should arrive any second.
Landor! Merrik! We used our time device to bring us here as soon as we got your message that the Turtles were in trouble.
- How can we help? - I've gotta get the guys a transfusion from four live mutant turtles.
Can you go back in time and bring the Turtles of the past back to the present? Yes, we can, but there is one thing you must know.
Having two sets of Turtles here at one time will set up a time warp paradox.
If we don't return the past Turtles to their normal time within 24 hours, both the past and present Turtles will cease to exist.
[ Sighs .]
We'll have to take that chance.
Very well.
Stand back.
No! You can't do this to me! Sure we can.
Sayonara, dude.
[ Screams .]
Huh? Whoa! Who are you dudes? There's no time to explain.
You've got to come with us to the future.
Where are Donatello and Raphael? Prepare for your end, reptiles! [ Screaming .]
Hands in the air, guys! Donatello, Raphael, we must go, quickly.
Uh, sorry.
You must tell us who you are, quickly.
And if we don't like what we hear, we will trash you even more quickly.
Not before I fry you, Turtles! [ Screaming .]
I can't hold on! [ Screams .]
Leonardo! [ All Screaming .]
[ All Grunting .]
Whoa, what happened? Where are we? You're in the lair.
Yes, we are.
But, um-- Do we know you? Sure you know me, man.
I mean, you will.
In exactly two years and 15 days.
Who are you? I'm Landor.
This is Merrik.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Time out.
You lost me with that first turn you took into the twilight zone.
It's simple really.
We're time travelers.
This is your future.
That's impossible! Isn't it? Uh, well, according to Einstein-- Look, we don't have time for a lecture on the theory of relativity.
We've gotta stop Shredder and Krang before they get the Technodrome out of Dimension X! Do not worry, Leonardo.
You will destroy the Technodrome.
How do you know, Sensei? I know because I am the sensei of your future.
Your future selves are trapped in an alien ship.
Unless you help us get them a life energy transfusion, they won't make it.
It's true.
This isn't our time continuum.
No.
And if you stay here more than 24 hours, you will cease to exist.
And I thought turning into a pumpkin was a drag.
We've got to get back to our time.
If you need us, just bounce another message off a star.
Come on! I'll fill you in on the way.
[ Dregg .]
Mung, any sign of Shredder and Krang? Not yet, my lord.
But the transporter is ready to extract the steel.
Very well.
Proceed.
Thank you, Shredder.
I've got my strength again.
Good.
Now all we have to do is get rid of that brain-draining Dregg, and the world will be ours for the taking! - What? - No! Oh, no.
[ Shouts .]
[ Carter .]
The nuclear power plant is up ahead.
Whoa, dudes.
What's that? Hang on! Whoa, dude, cool landing.
[ Groans .]
It was pretty trashy if you ask me.
[ Leonardo .]
At least we're headed downriver toward the power plant.
Go! Build Lord Dregg an army of invasion craft! [ Groans .]
I think it's this way.
Please, April.
Can't I just pull my shell over my head and take a nap for a few eons? Sorry, Raphael.
I've got to get you all back to Earth.
Guys! I think I found the transporter room! Something's not right.
[ Leonardo .]
This isn't the transporter room.
No, it's a fusion engine.
[ Groans .]
There's no way out! If Dregg starts the engines, we're turtle vapor.
Get ready! What are those legs? There's no time to worry about that now.
I'll set the transporter coordinates.
You guys take care of the guards.
Hey, who checked out and made him the big cheese? According to Splinter, we did.
Our future selves.
Guards! Guys! Go for the transporter! Cowabunga! [ Leonardo .]
Wow! And I thought the Technodrome was awesome.
Follow me! April? Please, tell me you didn't yank us out of the past just for this.
Well, you-- Uh, I mean, they couldn't have gotten far.
[ Michelangelo .]
Well, that's really reassuring.
Sorry, they're not behind Door Number 2 either.
You may have escaped my force fields, reptiles, but you won't escape again! [ All .]
Whoa! Do we know that dude? No, and I don't want to.
You can't withstand my power, fools.
Fire drill! [ Screams .]
Come on, Carter! Mutate! Sorry, no go on Door Number 3.
Let's get that alien twerp! Foolish creatures.
I've only been toying with you.
Now, you shall feel the wrath of Dregg! Whoa! [ Moans .]
I won't miss this time.
No! You shall be the first to enter oblivion.
Whoa! I hope this Carter dude's really on our side.
Oh, no.
No! The engine's starting! Hang in there, mutant dude! Turtle cavalry's on the way! Ah! [ Sighs .]
April, divert the fusion stream into the engine wall.
No! [ Shouting .]
[ Sighs .]
Carter, you did it! Yo, those dudes sure look like us.
Michelangelo, they are us.
Oh, that would explain the resemblance.
Either there's a mirror on the ceiling, or I'm having a major out-of-shell experience.
[ Carter .]
Come on, guys.
Let's get 'em out of here.
Get them onto the platform! [ April .]
Home, safe.
Oh, no, we're not! [ Metallic Screeching .]
