Meanwhile, the Crystal Converger has led the Turtles and April to the same carnival. But before they can locate the Fragment, it is found by two small boys. While April unsuccessfully tries to get them to part with it for three dollars, the Turtles are mistaken for performers and find themselves entertaining an appreciative audience.

12. Enter: The Fly

Shredder attempts to use the world trade centre in an experiment, but the failure of Baxter's essential new device, plus the interference of those heroes in a half shell, prevent the villain's plot from succeeding. Frustrated at Baxter's latest failure, Shredder contacts Krang in dimension x and demands that Rocksteady and Bebop be sent to aid him. Krang informs shredder that an exchange must be made to enable the portal to open properly, Shredder has the perfect candidate to take Rocksteady and Bepop's place: BAXTER! So, with a quick gesture [literately, Shredder actually throws Baxter into the portal], the transfer is made, and Shredder gets his old henchmen back! Baxter's fate, sadly, is not so pleasant, Krang immediately orders his execution, and he is sent to the disintergration chamber. A tiny Fly is his sole company inside the chamber as the device is activated. But fate has other ideas for the scientest. Instead of being demoleculerised, Baxter is instead fused with the fly hovering over his head, and he becomes a hyrbird of man and Insect and one consumed with vengeance! Escaping dimension x, "Baxter Fly" locates Shredder, but the villain tricks the hybrid scientest into working for him again. Baxter uses two electrodes to create a device that will send the turtles to a random alternate dimension once they go in range of it. The trap is set further when shredder gives April a dose of a poisonous flower, a Dooku Plant. This lures the peeved off green machine to a scrap yard, where the electrodes have been firmly concealed. Soon enough, the turtles are right where Shredder wants them when splinter, driving the turtle van, gatecrashes the scene. In the battle that follows, Baxter accidentally fly's near the now- active electrodes, and is immediatly sucked into another dimension. [Bye bye fly, heh heh], Shredder and his henchmen flee. Finally, Splinter is able to cure April of the Dooku plant's poison.

NOTE: Finally, Rocksteady and Bepop return as Shredder's hench-thugs! This marks the first time they've been on earth since Season 1 finale "Shreddered and Splintered"

13. Splinter No More

Sensing Master Splinter's despair at his new life as a rat, the Turtles agree to use the small amount of mutagen that they have left to concoct a formula that will revert Splinter back into Yoshi. The experiment is a success and Yoshi decides to take a stroll, as a human, through the city. Meanwhile, April is reporting Public Service Announcements from the local library when spies Rocksteady and Bebop. She immediately contacts the Turtles, who are depressed by the possibility that Master Splinter/Yoshi may never return and jump at the chance to divert their attention. Besides, they suspect that Shredder must be nearby. The TMNT head straight for the Library, and sure enough, encounter Shredder and company, who of course, escape. However, they leave a clue behind. It seems that Shredder has stumbled onto a spell that will enable him to open a portal to any dimension he chooses. The Turtles find a reference to a temple in an old subway terminal somewhere under the city that acts as a nexus - a point where many dimensions intersect. Now, all they have to do is find it before Shredder does.

Inside, they tap into a transmission between Krang and Shredder on Earth. Through this transmission, the Nutrinos learn of Krang/Shredder's latest plan to destroy the Turtles. The Nutrinos decide that they can't sit idly by and watch, so they open their own portal and arrive on Earth to warn the Turtles. But before they can contact the Turtles, Shredder, who was warned by Krang of the Nutrinos presence on Earth and of their ability to open their own portal, sends Rocksteady and Bebop to "intercept" them and return them to his secret hide-out.

Season 3

19. Beneath These Streets

Beneath the city streets, deep in the bowels of the sewer system, Splinter is less than pleased with the Turtles when he encounters them lounging around the "TV Room," rather than practicing their daily katas (martial arts/ninja exercises.) The Turtles lamely suggest that with Shredder out of the way (it seems he and Krang were sent to the Earth's core in a previous episode), they deserve a vacation. Splinter suggests that they have no proof that Shredder and Krang are "vanquished" and that there is still plenty of other crime/criminals to be fought. Meanwhile, miles below the Earth's surface, rests the Technodrome. Inside, Shredder "whines" to Krang about when they will take the Technodrome to the surface. Krang tells Shredder that they are low on power and that certain essential equipment (i.e. the Protein Silicon Brain Computer) has been damaged, thanks to Shredder's incompetence. But Krang reassures him that they can be repaired but it will require a trip to the surface to obtain the necessary parts.

NOTE: The Technodrome is now situated at the centre of the earth. It would remain dormant there until the "big-blow out" three parter!

20. Turtles on Trial

Leonardo, Donatello and Raphael are enjoying an episode of professional wrestling when Michelangelo enters the room and turns the channel to "ON TRIAL" hosted by Clayton Kellerman, a Morton Downey-like rabble rouser who suggests that a clear and present danger is lurking in the sewers: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Turtles are aghast and can't understand why people would hate them. April has her make-up department make human masks so the Turtles could move more freely in the streets. Meanwhile, Shredder is sweating from the heat, as Krang "chews him out" for his failure to retrieve the necessary components to repair the refrigeration units. Shredder has had enough and suggests that Krang go up on the Earth's surface and get what he needs and eliminate the Turtles himself. Krang considers this a good idea.

21. Attack of the 50 Foot Irma

While preparing for Irma's birthday party, Michelangelo realizes he has forgotten to invite the guest of honor.

The professor claims that this is a very unusual meteorite with a core composed of an extremely rare isotope known as "Exaporon." The Turtles turn on their TV to watch their favorite journalist as she interviews the professor. Suddenly a noxious gas fills the room and someone steals the meteorite. Before the thief can escape, he stops in front of the news camera, revealing himself to be Shredder.

22. The Maltese Hamster

It was a dark and rainy night. The Turtles, wearing their trench coats and fedoras investigate a reign of mob terror. Donatello, in his worst "Sam Spade" impersonation, narrates this pulp/film noir story of banks all over the city being "taken down by the mob." But, as Donatello tells the viewer, the mob is using sophisticated weaponry -- the kind that could be only supplied by Shredder. And what mobster would be "gutsy" enough to deal with Shredder?

23. Sky Turtles

Krang and Shredders' scheming has The Turtles and New York afloat in confusion: Literately! Shredder is using a new anti-gravity magnet to throw everyone in the city into the sky, and keep them there, with noone, not even the TMNT, earthbound any more, Shredder and his hoods can do as they please, and using state-of-the-art anti-gravity boots to stay grounded. Krang informs Shredder of the instability of the magnet, and warns him not to overload it, but he is all but ignored by his partner. The Turtles soon learn of Shredder's scheme, and, after managing to acquire a pair of gravity boots, are able to fend off the invading foot soldiers. Donatello notices that the birds are still flying, since they aren't bound by the laws of gravity, the magnet's power doesn't affect them, Donatello suggests to his bros that they head for the Turtle Blimp. Angered by the Turtle's defiance, Shredder vows that if he can't own the city, he'll destroy it, by thrusting it completely off the planet! Travelling to the surface, Shredder amplifies the magnet's power, and soon every building in New York is sent skyward, the TMNT are barley able to avoid the kamikaze skyscrapers. After rescuing April and Irma from taking off with the channel six building, Donatello figures out how to prevent the magnet from destroying New York, he uses channel six's main satellite dish to bounce the magnet's energy transmissions right back to it's source. But at the same time this is attempted, Krang decides to take manners into his own hand and turns up the juice even further, the result of both the turtle's reversal of the energy flow and krang's increase of the flow results in the anti-gravity magnet being pulled out of the ground and ejected into space itself, but in route to outer orbit, the magnet knocks into the turtle blimp and causes Raphael to drop the satellite, it smashes to pieces on the ground below. Gravity returns to normal, and New York's structures and citizens, quickly fall back to earth, the Turtles confront Shredder, but the villain escapes in a transport module. Donatello repairs the satellite dish, and April congratulates him with a kiss, now who's feeling like he's afloat on cloud nine?

24. The Old Switcheroo

Mr. Thompson orders April into his office to assign her a news story.

She assures him that he is not and heads off to Cybertech Lab with mini-cam in hand. Meanwhile, down in the Turtles' Lair, Donatello is displaying his new Super Pizza Maker. The other Turtles are impressed with its ability to make pizza in a matter of seconds, but when it is switched into high gear -- the machine overloads and explodes, causing loose parts to scatter across the room. One of these "loose screws" hits Leonardo, causing "just a bruise." Suddenly, April contacts them from Cybertech Labs, via the Turtle Com, to inform them that Shredder, Rocksteady and Bebop are up to no good. While she waits for the Turtles to arrive (including Splinter, who is concerned about Leonardo's injury,) April begins to videotape Shredder and his "goons" from the rafters high above the floor.

He tells Ogg that he would go get more porcelain for him, but they have been cast out by the Turtles. They are doomed to stay underground. Ogg feels bad for them and says he'll get whoever it is that did that to them. Krang tells Ogg that if he can get a formula to trasnform oil into liquid hyrogren, Krang will tell him where he can get all the procelain he has ever wanted and he will also tell Ogg where the Turtles are so Ogg can do them in. Ogg agrees to do it.

61. Shredderville

In this special," It's a wonderful Life"-style story. The Turtles return to their lair, triumphant after another mission, but they are frustrated that they let Shredder slip away from them again. They feel like giving up, and wish they had never been born. Wish they never had to bear the burden of fighting crime. They go to sleep still thinking these thoughts.. When they wake up, however, they find things have drastically changed. The lair is gone, splinter doesn't exist, and New York is now known as "Shrdderville". The turtles soon realise, to their horror that their wish has come true, and they no longer exist! Exploring this strange, warped earth, the turtles discover their friends are either slaves [April and Erma], or anarchists [Zack]. They also find out shredder is a man tired of being the big cheese, and frustrated with the responsibility that comes with his position. ..And just when things couldn't get any worse, the Technodrome [now more of a broken-down relic than a war machine] is on the verge of exploding, and if it goes boom, that can only spell doom! Can the green machine escape this nightmare?

b: 02-Nov-1989 pc: 9059-034 w: Francis Moss

NOTE: A World without turtles: the complete list of changes to the present 1. The Technodrome, of course, has risen, and is the centerpiece of shrdder's monarchy. Krang still resides in it, but it is a broken-down, crippled shadow of it's former self. It explodes at the episode's conclusion, just as the turtles dream comes to an end. 2. April and Erma are slaves to a very human-looking Bepop and Rocksteady 3. Shredder is a high ranking ceo, wearing a three-pece suite, and he still wears his helmet! I guess any self-respecting world ruler HAS to wear a suit. 4. Zack [The Fifth Turtle] is seen spraying grafitti on the Technodrome walls

62. Bye, Bye Fly

A team of archaeologists stumble upon a temple of unknown origin and culture buried near the Turtles' lair. However, before they can investigate further, they are frightened off by Baxter Fly, who explores the temple himself. The Turtles hear about the discovery courtesy of April, not wanting their security to be compromised, the TMNT decide to investigate themselves. Shredder also has an interest in the temple; it contains within it a rare energy crystal, which could potentially re-power the Technodrome! Baxter discovers the temple is actually a spacecraft with a sentient computer system at the helm, it is capable of accessing multiple dimensions, and Baxter plots a trap for Shredder and the Turtles... After The Turtles and Shredder meet up, Baxter springs his trap, using a muto-gun; he transforms Michangelo into a baby turtle and Shredder into a fly (how ironic). The TMNT are forced to team with Rocksteady and Bebop to battle and outwit Baxter. They succeed and they restore Michangelo to normal. Rocksteady and Bebop escape with the muto-gun, but refuse to transform Shredder back for a while as revenge for the many scoldings they have received at his hand. Baxter activates the spacecraft and attempts to travel to dimension x, but Donatello was able to take out the geographic stabiliser, without it, the vessel falls apart completely, stranding Baxter in another dimension. and at the mercy of a colossal alien Spider. What a world!

63. The Big Rip-Off

In a last ditch attempt to gain power for the Technodrome, Krang Sends Rocksteady and Bebop to steal a newly created set of energy modules from a hi-tech science lab located at Fort Charles. But the bungling duo are halted by a super-computer, CY-CLOMPS, which is protecting the modules. Not one to be denied his spoils, Shredder re-programs CY-CLOMPS from the technodrome, and commands it to trap April [present at the lab to do a live broadcast]] in an airtight vault! When the Turtles arrive at the scene, they find themselves locked in combat with various robots and defences activated by CY-CLOMPS to prevent them from reaching April. The turtles eventually succeed however in pulling CY-CLOMP'S plug , and they rescue the reporter. However, whilst the turtles were locking horns with CY-CLOMPS at Fort Charles, Shredder was able to locate another lab, which contained a similar set of energy modules, and quickly aqquired them! The Technodrome is re-energised and now has enough power to rise to the surface! Uh-Oh! TO BE CONTINUED..

64. The Big Break-In

Now Successfully re-energised, The Technodrome begins moving towards the surface, Krang sends for a Miniaturizor form dimension x, with it he can shrink anyone and anything that stands in his path! Immediately, he uses the device to shrink all of the nearby military bases, therefore making the planet defenceless once he takes the techndrome to "higher ground" The Turtles, knowing that they and the planet will be in hot water if shredder and krang take the machine to the surface, decide to break into the machine itself, and try to sabotage it. Under attack from rock steady, bebop, and Krang, the turtles realise that taking out the machine won't be an easy task. April, in the meantime, shows up to cover the mystery of the missing bases, only to realise she's although she's at the right place, she's here at the wrong time. The Technodrome suddenly surfaces, and heads in the direction of the reporter. The Turtles however, manage to gain control of the miniaturizor, and, with just seconds left before April becomes road kill, they are able to use it to shrink the techndrome to the size of a softball. They then restore the military bases to their proper size. The now miniaturized technodrome falls back into the hole it came out of, where krang and shredder use their energy reserves to restore it to it's own full height. It ain't over yet..

April makes it back to New York and tries to warn everyone that Krang is on the warpath! The turtles break into the Technodrome again, but the machine's powerful defences are able to drive them back. Krang succeeds in stealing a satellite dish from the station, with plans to use it to open the dimensional portal and slip earth into Dimension x! Once there, the awaiting war fleet on the other side will destroy it! Despite all efforts, the TMNT fail to prevent the villains from making it to the city. With not much time left, Donatello hatches a plan, the TMNT "borrow" a missile launcher from a military vehicle, and take it under the sewers, Leonardo and michangelo keep shredder busy in a final battle while this is going on. Eventually, the TMNT trick an enraged and embarrassed Shredder to take the technodrome over a sewer drain, where Donatello fires the missile attached to the launcher, it rockets out of the sewers and propels the technodrome upwards into the already-opened portal, back into Dimension x, and straight into the path of the awaiting war fleet! The war fleet mistake the technodrome for earth, and open fire upon it, the Technodrome eventually crash lands on a nearby asteroid, with no power, and no way out of dimension x! As the TMNT and the people of earth celebrate the incredible victory, what could possibly be on the turtle's minds? An Obvious answer: PIZZA of course!

Season 4

66. Plan 6 from Outer Space

The Technodrome is back in Dimension X, and Shredder and Krang are not the least bit happy about it! Determined to get even, the two villains send Rocksteady and Bebop to earth [using the Dimensional Portal.] The two stooge's task is to attach special trans-dimensional thrusters to the Channel Six Building, fearing a confrontation with the TMNT will scuttle his plan, Krang disguises Rocksteady and Bebop as humans, but this camouflage will only be temporary, if the two mutants can't complete their mission within the next few hours, the disguises will wear off. Krang also creates the Pretendicon, a cyborg in the guise of Splinter, to lure the Turtles into the Channel Six building, if all goes smoothly, then the Dimensional thrusters [once attached to the building] will send the TMNT and Channel Six on a one way ride into Dimension X! Meanwhile, the green machine, believing the Technodrome vanquished for good, plan a long unwinding vacation. Rocksteady and Bebop infiltrate Channel six in their human guises, they pose as Janitors, but they become so popular with the staff in the building, that they are quickly promoted to VP'S Producers in charge of programming! Whilst the first phase of Shredder and Krang's revenge scheme has gone pear-shaped, the pretendacon, as Splinter, begins the next phase by luring the TMNT to channel six. The fake Splinter's arrogant and rash behaviour leads The Turtles to think their master is ill. Shredder reminds Rocksteady and Bebop [soaking it up in their new positions] why they are at Channel six, and the two goofs attach the trans-dimensional thrusters to the structure, they also kidnap April when she stumbles onto their scheme. Just in the nick of time, the real splinter intervenes when he contacts his students [VIA radio] that April has been kidnapped. The TMNT quickly despatch the Pretendacon, and race to save April, and remove the trans-dimensional thrusters. With their new, cushy life-style [and their mission] now in ruins, Rocksteady and Bebop quickly return to the Technodrome v.i.a the Trans-dimensional Portal, leaving the Turtles with a realisation: no matter how far away they are, Shredder and Krang are still as dangerous, and still as driven to destroy the green machine and conquer the world

76. Menace, Maestro Please

April calls the Turtles to meet her at the Floxy Theater, due to rumors that a phantom is scaring all the workers away. When the Turtles get there they find Irma, Howie and Howie's friend, Eric, there. Howie and Eric are working on the pipe organ in the theater and they wanted the Turtles to see if they could fix it. Somehow the organ is giving off blue rays when certain keys are played. In Dimension X, Krang has invented an energy accumulator which can soak up power from any source. Once he finds this power, he intends to use it to fuel the Technodrome and travel back to the Earth. While Shredder is testing the launch computer in the Technodrome, it starts going crazy due to some kind of interference from Earth. Krang tracks it and discovers that it's coming from the blue rays in the organ. The rays are giving off tremendous power which Krang knows he could use for the Technodrome. He sends Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady with the accumulator to Earth. When Shredder arrives at the theater, he decides that the only way to get near the organ is to dress up like the phantom and try to scare everyone away. The Turtles are not frightened by the disguise and start searching the theater for him. They soon discover that the phantom is actually Shredder, but at the same time they also meet up with another phantom. Shredder gets away, but the Turtles capture the other phantom. They discover that it's Eric and that he's actually an alien from another planet that crashed 100 years ago. The organ they've been fixing is his spaceship and he thinks that Howie did something to it. The Turtles and Erk, aka Eric, confront Howie, and he tells them that he put the leftover alien micro chip, from "Name that Toon", into the organ. Knowing that, Erk knows what to do to fix it. When they get back to the organ, they realize that Shredder has already started to drain the power from it. The Turtles, Erk, and Howie distract Shredder, giving Erk enough time to fix the spaceship before Shredder can drain any more power from it. Erk returns to his home planet and Shredder returns to Dimension X without any power for the Technodrome.

77. Super Hero for a Day

Krang has come up with yet another invention to fuel the Technodrome. He has invented a power vacuum that will drain energy from three power plants in the area. In order for the vacuum to work, Krang needs the signal from the power plants amplified. He sends Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady to Earth to set up the power vacuum amplifiers in the power plants. April radios the Turtles telling them that Shredder has been spotted at a power plant in the city. The turtles set off to see what their arch-enemy is up to.

They try to persuade him to retire and let them handle the problems of the city, but he gets angry and storms off, not realizing that the entire event was being aired. Krang happens to watch the event on one of his video screens and gets a brilliant idea on how to keep the Turtles preoccupied with Gadgetman so Shredder will have enough time to install the amplifiers. Krang sends Shredder to go and see Gadgetman. The Shredder claims to be a super hero agent and tries to convince the older hero to work with Shredder in effort to get the Turtles out of the picture. Of course, GM doesn't know that Shredder intends to get rid of the Turtles permanently. Shredder stages a bank hold up which makes Gadgetman look like a hero again to the public. The Turtles realize that the hold up was a distraction set for them so Shredder would have time to get to another power plant. When they arrive at the plant, Shedder is waiting for them and captures them. April, who follows the Turtles looking for a story, gets there just in time to rescue them before the plant blows up. Back at the lair, Splinter and the Turtles figure out Krang's plan and track Shredder to the last power plant. When they arrive, they discover that Shredder has already begun to drain the energy from the city and started to transport it to the Technodrome. Gadgetman realizes that he has been had by Shredder and sets out to get revenge. He arrives at the plant in time to rescue and help the Turtles fight Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady. Donatello manages to reverse the power to the Technodrome by sending Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady running back to Dimension X once again.

UFO sightings at an upstate farm town known as "High Falls", cause April to investigate, Splinter foresees danger clouding April's visit and sends Leonardo to chaperone her. Arriving at High Falls, April runs into the local reporter, Scoop Oliver, a sceptic who does not believe in the recent weird occurrences at the farm town. But whilst April has made her arrived into town with little incident, with Leonardo it's a whole different story, upon entering town, an alien spacecraft greets Leonardo! Desperately trying to evade the U.F.O, The TMNT leader bumps into a town local, who mistakes HIM for an alien! Soon enough, a manhunt [or Turtlehunt, whichever you'd prefer to call it] is initiated with Leonardo as the subject. When April learns of this, she tries to clam down the angry mob, but she only gets through to the town member who started the whole mess in the first place: Billy Jim Bob. Realising her efforts aren't making any headway with the townsfolk, April contacts Leonardo to warn him that he's High Fall's most wanted. Both of them agree to meet and find a way out of their situation, but before they can reunite, April is abducted by the U.F.O! On board the alien craft, April discovers that the truth isn't out there: it's here! ..Or, to better describe it, the truth is the U.F.O is actually a hi-tech helicopter, part of a scheme devised by it's pilot, Dr. Davens, to scare the townspeople away so he can use his new Virgo-ray, [a device which can increase the size of food crops], to plunder the farm town's crop supply. After giving the supply a dose of the Virgo-Ray, Daven can then sell the economy sized crops to the highest bidder! Leonardo, realising April is missing, searches for her, but runs into the angry villagers, and the heated pursuit begins again. But help soon arrives in the form of Billy Jim Bob, having listened to April and wishing to see a REAL alien, decides to help out the TMNT leader, and rescues him from the townspeople. Back at the Lair, Splinter has a nightmare about Leonardo; he sends the other turtles to higher Falls to ensure he and April are safe. Meanwhile,, Leonardo and Billy Jim Bob track down the "u.f.o" at Dr Daven's farm lair, where they both learn of Daven's plot. The other Turtles arrive in High Falls just in time, re-united, the TMNT conjur up quite a storm to lay waste to Daven's harvest of ill deeds. Having revealed the true culprit behind the alien sightings, the TMNT are applauded by the now grateful townspeople...

104. Splinter Vanishes

If the episode title alone doesn't give away this tale's synopsis, I'll gladly provide it: SPLINTER'S GONE! Returning from another mission, the TMNT are shocked to discover their mentor has left the lair, leaving behind only a video taped message. Playing the message, the TMNT are informed by their mentor that he has taught them all he knows, and it is time for him to leave them, and for the green machine to grasp their own destinies and go their OWN separate ways. [GASP!] The Turtles decide to take this final advice and dis-unite. Michangelo lands a job as a TV cook, Donatello works in a fix-it shop [But "Tool Time" he ain't], Leonardo works at a Fitness Centre, and Raphael sacrifices his self-respect to entertain kids at birthday parties! Back in the Sewers, his rodent majesty the Rat King decides to take advantage of the Turtle's separation and teams up with his one-time enemy Leatherhead to cause some mischief. The two rouges scheme to create an army of Robo Rats and Android Alligators to aid in this endeavour, but even though the Turtles have disbanded, Leatherhead still can't resist the urge to hunt down each of the green machine and exact vengeance on them, Rat King seems to agree, and the two quickly ambush and capture most of the TMNT, All except Leonardo. Leatherhead intercepts the turtle leader and the two fights to the finish. During the struggle Leonardo falls down a sewage drain, Leatherhead presumes him dead. Whilst looking for Michangelo, April stumbles onto The Rat King and Leatherhead's agenda, tailing leatherhead [no pun intended], April arrives at the lair where the remaining Turtles are being held hostage. She is suddenly discovered, but before she can also be corralled by Rat King and Leatherhead, she is quickly rescued by none other than SPLINTER! A very much alive Leonardo shows up and quickly frees his brothers, they launch into battle against the shocked villains, after a confrontation with the Android Alligators and Robo Rats, the Turtles force their enemies into retreat. Splinter reveals that his departure was just a ruse to lure rat king and leatherhead out of hiding, [Whilst meditating, he had "sensed" that the two were up to something, (use the force Hamato Yoshi!)], Now that the plan has worked to perfection, the TMNT can reunite, and Raphael can salvage his reputation: NO MORE CHILDREN'S PARTIES, WOOOOOOO!

Saki finds them: Shredder's brother! Burdened with his evil brother's past, and present sins. Lt. Saki vows to bring in his sibling, and travels to America to track him down. He meets up with the Turtles by accident at the Nuclear Fusion Reactor. Where they are safeguarding a new super-magnet, which they suspect might be Shredder's next target. But all chance of an alliance between the two forces are soon hampered by lt. Saki's obsession with doing things "by the book", preventing the green machine from breaking the law in efforts to stop shredder. Shredder creates holograms of the Kojima Brothers, and programs them with "the greatest secrets of the three great ninja master of all time". The brother's keep the TMNT busy long enough for Shredder, rocksteady and bebop to break into the nuclear fusion reactor and acquire the super-magnet. With the magnet in his possession, shredder can now use its power to pull the Tecnodrome back from Dimension X, and into the middle of the city! But lt. saki arrives just in time, but he is soon outmatched by his brother, who handcuffs him to a drainpipe. Donatello finds the holo-emiteer generating the Kojima brothers, and destroys it, the holograms vanish, and the turtles race to stop Shredder, but it is too late, the portal is opened and Krang sends the Technodrome through.

112. Muckman Messes Up

Attempting yet again to "downsize" the Turtles [AKA revert them back to their lives as baby turtles, and therefore render them a threat no longer], Krang sends Shredder, Rocksteady and Bebop to earth's surface to retrieve "compound X-7", a compound that will return the turtles to their pre-mutate state. The two arrive at the nearby Tropotron laboratory, but they are unable to find "Compound X-7", in frustration, the two mutants destroy the lab, accidentally knocking over a barrel contain an unknown substance onto two garbage men in the process. Tipped off by April, the turtles arrive at Tropotron to break up the rampage, after a skirmish, Shredder and his two underlings retreat. Meanwhile, the once-ordinary garbage men have now found themselves mutated into horrible apparitions, they are repelled by their appearance and go nuts. Whoever did this foul deed to them, after watching a misinterpreted channel six news broadcast blaming the turtles for the lab break-in, the new mutants come to the conclusion that they green machine are responsible for their predicament they name themselves Muck-man and Joe Eye-Ball and venture forth to exact vengeance. Muck Man and Eyeball don't have to search long to find the tmnt, and they do battle with them. The battle weakens the Turtles greatly, and they are unable to prevent their adversaries from carting April and Irma [who had chosen the wrong place at the wrong time in investigating the mystery of the missing garbage men] off. Recovering at their lair, Donatello discovers the reason he and his bros were weakened by Muck man and Eyeball, and begins work on a cure, but first he must return to Tropotron and obtain a sample of the same mutatagen which gave birth to their current adversaries in the first place. The remaining turtles and Splinter embark on a mission to rescue April and Irma. After gaining the mutagen, Donatello reunites with his bros just as they are again confronted by Muck man and Joe Eyeball, who now have Shredder, rolcksteady and Bepop on their side! Before they can even attempt to attack, the turtles are again weakened by the mere presence of Muckman and Eyeball, Splinter is captured by Shredder, who makes preparations to return to the Technodrome, leaving the tmnt to the tender mercies of his new allies. Luckily April and Irma are able to bring muckman and eyeball to the side of good once again when they show the duo video footage of Shredder's earlier attack on Tropotron, and spilling the mutagen barrels onto two garbage men: Muckman and eyeball have found out the truth, and they ain't happy. Muckman and Eyeball help Donatello create the antidote, which prevents the TMNT from being affected by the mutagenic radiation emitted from the two mutates, the fully recovered heroes in a half shell battle Shredder and rescue Splinter.

Baxter Fly's back, and this time he's assembled an army of flies to infest the city, endangering millions just so Stockman can get to Shredder, (who we all know, was the cause of Baxter's mutation into an insect) Baxter locates the Technodrome by following Rocksteady and Bepop, but his revenge scheme goes awry when he is caught by Shredder, who freezes Stockman and his fly armada. Krang decides to put his "frozen asset" to his advantage. The dimension X warlord frees Baxter and offers him the chance to become human again, provided, of course, that he leads the fly army in an attack on New York, and defeats and captures the Turtles. The TMNT, however, are quick in taking out Baxter, and the scientist is only rescued thanks to Rocksteady and Bebop, who hope that if Baxter succeeds because of their "rescue mission", Shredder will turn them human again also. The Turtles turn the tables on the two mutants but this allows Baxter and his army to escape the ensuing chase leads the TMNT and the two mutants, to the nearby stadium, where Baxter traps the heroes and villains in flypaper. Shredder arrives and is impressed by Baxter's work, he then rebuffs on the promise of storing Baxter's humanity. Vernon, meanwhile, is covering the action for Channel Six inside the Organist's box, As he films the unfolding chaos, he accidentally leans against the keyboard, and the sound of music hits the stadium, the high-pitch sound severes Baxter's control over his army. This distraction gives the Turtles the chance to free themselves They do battle with the legion-less fly and triumph. To wrap up things, Donatello throws Baxter into another dimension with his "Portable Portal Generator", whilst Shredder, Rocksteady and Bepop elude the green machine once again...

156. Night of the Dark Turtle

While Donatello and the other three Turtles debate the issue of "brains vs. brawn", Donatello's Early Detection system sounds its alarm. According to Donatello's readings, The City has experienced a major vibration emanating from the Earth. Naturally, everyone suspects Shredder and Krang, so they set out to investigate immediately. Donatello's readings lead them to a Government Research Lab, where only moments ago Shredder received a Micro Blaster from one of the resident scientists. The Blaster is supposedly the mightiest (and smallest) weapon known to man. During a fight scene, Donatello is seriously hurt by Shredder. And while Shredder eludes the Security Guards (without his Micro Blaster), the Turtles also retreat back to the lair with a semi-conscious Donatello. When Don emerges from his coma he is not quite the same. Something about him is different. But one thing is for sure, he is angry and wants Shredder so bad he can taste it. But Donny feels that he needs a new identity... something that will instill fear in Shredder's heart, something like the Dark Turtle, a Batman-esque crime fighter. Meanwhile, three Star Cruisers loaded with Triceratons have landed in the city, claiming the earth as Triceraton property. Donatello/Dark Turtle scours the mean streets of the City in search of the Shredder, who is now in cahoots with a local mobster by the name of Wolf Jackson. Leo, Mike and Raph battle the Triceratons, who are intent upon sending the Earth through their Star Gate and back to the Tricertraon Galaxy where it will be stripped clean. Leonardo, Michaelanglo and Raphael are helpless without Donatello and his brains. The 3 decide that they have to find Don and bring him to his senses, with only one hour remaining before the end of the world as we know it. Back to where it all started, Donatello/The Dark Turtle and Shredder are engaged in a final showdown and it looks as if Donatello has the upper hand. In fact, it appears that Donatello really will kill Shredder once and for all! But Leonardo, Raphael and Michaelagelo arrive just in time to save Shredder's life and cause Donatello to fall and knock himself unconscious again. When Donatello regains consciousness he cannot remember anything and is embarrased to find himself wearing a comic book character costume. Meanwhile, time is running out for planet Earth, but thanks to Donatello's quick thinking, he is able to convince the Triceratons that the Dark Turtle is the ruler of Earth and that the animatronic dinosaurs from the Natural History Museum are his minions. Of course, Donatello's use of Shredder's Micro Blaster also helped to convince the Triceratons that they should get out...

Thanks to a malfunction in Donatello's Inter-Dimensional Early Warning Detection Machine, a tear has occurred in the fabric of space and time, allowing two heinous criminals from Dimension X, Skaarg and Dementor, to arrive in The City - Times Square. Unfortunately, both Irma and Vernon, who are working together on a story and just happened to be in the neighborhood, disappear as Skaarg and Dementor arrive. It does not take long for Skaarg and Dementor to realize that they could rule the world, but first they must recruit some more help from Dimension X Back in the Dimension X Penitentiary, Vernon panics as he and Irma find themselves behind bars. Meanwhile, April investigates the disturbance in the Inter-Dimensional rift and comes face to face with Skaarg and Dementor. She successfully eludes them and runs into the Turtles, who in turn challenge the DimensionXers - in vain. But before they "leave the scene of the crime", Skaarg overhears Donatello talk about his Inter-Dimensional portal IDP and realizes that this is exactly what they will need to bring over their troops. Later, at the Lair, Skaarg and Dementor arrive unexpectedly, imprison the Turtles in a force field and activate Donatello's, "primitive by Dimension X standards", IDP. Within moments, the Dregma Brothers have arrived on planet Earth. After a McGuyver-esque escape, Donatello begins work on the IDP, preparing it to send the Dimension Xers back, while Leonardo, Michaelangelo and Raphael team up with April and dash over to the National Guard Armory where they deduce that the convicts from Dimension X might be heading. But before they can get there, they encounter Skaarg, Dementor, and The Dregma Brothers in a modified flying tank, constructed from various military equipment liberated from the National Guard Armory. When they contact Donatello for help, he informs them that he is ready, but that they must lead the Dimension Xers to the exact same spot they entered our dimension -- if not Donatello's IDP could create the "mother of all vortexes". With little other choice, Leonardo, Michaelangelo, and Raphael run toward Times Square, with Skaarg, Dementor, and the Dregma Brothers in hot pursuit. At the appointed place and time, the Dimension Xers are sucked back into Dimension X while Vernon and Irma are sucked out.

160. White Belt, Black Heart

While deep in meditation, Splinter is contacted telepathically by his sensei, Master Mogo-San who requests that Splinter meet him at Pier 17, where he will be arriving later that same day. Splinter dutifully agrees. Meanwhile, across town, the notorious Black Heart ninja gang, led by a young man named Yoku, has been robbing The City's banks and garnering the attention of Shredder and Krang, who want to put the Black Heart gang to work for them. At Pier 17, Mogo-San arrives and is surprised to find Hamato Yoshi is now a rat. Splinter promises to explain it all, but first he wants to know what brings his sensei to America. Mogo-San explains that he has arrived to pass on the sacred white belt of the Mogo clan to his grandson Yoku and that he needs Splinter help in locating him. This Yoku fellow was once a student of Splinter's and is the same Yoku who leads the infamous Black Heart gang. Splinter takes Mogo-San back to the sewer-lair and introduces him to the Turtles, who are most eager to accommodate him by helping Splinter search for Mogo-San's grandson. But alas, Mogo-san is very distressed to learn of the dishonor Yoku bears upon the family name. While covering the break-in of a jewelry warehouse by the Black Heart gang, April spies Shredder, assumes that he is a part of it and contacts the Turtles, via her TurtleCom, to inform them. But when she meets with the Turtles, they forbid her to come with them and refuse to tell her what is going on. Naturally, as a reporter, this gets her angry. She decides to follow the Turtles to see why they are being so secretive. Shredder finally catches up with Yoku and the Black Heart gang and immediately strikes a deal. Yoku and his boys are to break-in to a certain Government building and steal some top secret nuclear testing site maps. In exchange for this, they will receive an armory of Dimension X weapons. After a simple demonstration, Yoku agrees. No sooner have they shaken hands on this agreement when Splinter and the Turtles arrive. Shredder manages to escape, but Yoku is taken prisoner and delivered back to the lair, and to his grandfather. Mogo-San shares his disappintment with Yoku and asks Splinter to burn the sacred White Belt -- better for it to be consumed by flames than dishonered by Yoku. Splinter reluctantly agrees and after a moment, the lair fills with smoke, allowing Yoku to escape during the confusion. Unfortunately, he does not escape from April, who just happened to be driving by at the same time as Yoku emerges from a man hole cover. She follows him in her van, as he meets up with the other members of the Black Heart gang, only to be taken prisoner when they catch her snooping on them. The bad ninjas force her to become the driver of their get-a-way car in their theft of the Top Secret government maps. While Splinter accompanies Mogo-San back to Pier 1 to return home, the Turtles rescue April and capture the real leader of the Black Market gang, Mr. Crocker, the Mid-City bank president. It seems that Yoku is a secret government agent assigned to infiltrate the Black Heart gang in an effort to gather evidence against them and flush out their leader. The Turtles are able to deliver Yoku to Pier 17 before Mogo-San's boat departs so that he can tell his grandfather the truth. Mogo-San is indeed relieved to learn that Yoku is an honorable man, but saddened that he can no longer pass on the sacred White Belt. Splinter then reveals that he had never destroyed it. Splinter was never convinced that Yoku was anything less than honorable. Meanwhile, Shredder is stuck in the Gobi Desert when he learns that Top Secret government maps are phonies.

161. Night of the Rogues

Krang, Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady break-in to the City Hall of Records and steal a file of maps of The City's sewer system dated 1895. Before they are able to escape back to the Technodrome, they get their collective butts kicked by the Turtles. Licking his wounds in the safety of the Technodrome, Shredder blames Bebop and Rocksteady for his failures, vows vengeance against the Turtles, and decides that while Krang begins his excavation project in the City's sewers (in hopes of discovering a source of treasure) he will be busy recruiting his new minions (to replace Bebop and Rocksteady who have been locked in a room to keep them out of harm's way) to help rid himself of the Turtles once and for all. Concerned and confused by Krang's interest in the sewer system, the Turtles set out to investigate, only to quickly encounter Shredder and his villains and former foes, recruited to terminate the Turtles: the Rat King, Slash, Leatherhead, Temptesstra, Scumbug, Anthrax and Chrome Dome! After the Turtles get their butts kicked, they do what they should have done in the first place - run away. Convinced that they will never find them in the sewers, Shredder's Rogues Gallery decides to lure the Turtles out into the open by destroying the City. It works -- even though the Turtles know that this is exactly what the villains were planning. The Turtles are captured and about to be "disintegrated" but with only minutes to spare, they are rescued by Splinter, Irma, April, Casey Jones and Zack the honorary "fifth" turtle. Meanwhile Krang has unearthed the prize he has been looking for - the Star Ship of the legendary space pirate, Captain Logos. It seems that Captain Logos crash-landed his ship on Earth one thousand years ago, and just as Krang has suspected, it is filled with the space pirate's booty - riches beyond imagination, plundered from every corner of the galaxy. However, before Krang and Shredder are able to "transport" Captain Logo's Star ship back to the Technodrome, the Turtles arrive on the scene, and using Shredder's Disintigrator, which was designed to destroy the Turtles, the space pirate's ship is blown to smithereens. Naturally, Shredder's rogues are angry that they will not be getting paid and give chase to Krang and Shredder, who are then rescued by Bebop and Rocksteady who have broken out of their imprisonment because they feared that Shredder needed their help.

162. Attack of the Neutrinos

gs: Tress MacNeille (voice of Kala)

While investigating the most recent robbery perpetrated by the infamous Mole Squad, April and the Turtles stumbled upon a secret meeting between the Mole Squad and Dr. Floyd O'Toole, a scientist who has been missing for weeks. In their effort to capture the Mole Squad, the Turtles underestimated their abilities and allowed them to escape with Dr. O'Toole's Sonic Pulverizer, a device he developed as a tool not as a weapon. Frustrated that every criminal in town wants to use his inventions for evil purposes, Dr. O'Toole decides to give up the science life and become an insurance salesman. Until then, he has asked the Turtles to protect all of his research papers, and especially the video tape documenting his proudest achievement yet, the Hyper Thruster. Back at the lair, the Turtles lament the loss of Dr. O'Toole's genius while Donatello reminds them that not all inventions have to have an evil purpose, like his Transdimensional Communicator, a device he created to stay in touch with the Neutrinos. Mentioning the Neutrinos reminds the Turtles that they have not spoken to them in quite a while and they decide to get in touch with them. When the do, it seems that the Turtles' Dimension X buddies are in the middle of a chase scene with General Tragg and the Rock Soldiers. Over at Channel Six, Vernon sneaks into April's office and takes the tape out of her camera in an effort to scoop her secret story. Without bothering to view it first, Vernon breaks into the regularly scheduled program with a Special Bulletin. What viewers all over the city and a couple down in the Technodrome get to see is Dr. O'Toole outlining his plans for his Hyper Thruster engine. Vernon stops the tape before it is complete. Krang is convinced that the Hyper Thruster engine should be powerful enough to life the entire Technodrome. Krang orders Shredder to get the tape. Shredder is reluctant, fearing certain interference by the Turtles if he should attack Channel Six. When General Traag contacts Krang announcing the capture of the Neutrinos, Krang realizes that he has the perfect solution to his immediate problem. By activating the Neuralizer, Krang is able to turn the sweet, fun-loving Neutrinos into the "Bad Seed Times Three". Krang then orders them to take out their new found aggressions on the Turtles and they comply. That is except for Kala, she would rather trash the Technodrome. Krang orders Bebop and Rocksteady to stop her and in the process, they set off a high shrill alarm that equalizes the Neuralizer effect, causing Kala to return to her senses and escape. Meanwhile Dask and Zak hit town and are chased through a mall by the Turtles. When it looks like the Turtles are in trouble, Kala appears and saves them. Dask and Zak split. Kala cannot remember how she got her mind back which does not help the Turtles if they are going to try and help Dask and Zak Over at Channel Six, while April is chewing out Vernon for airing the tape, who should arrive to claim it, but none other than Shredder. Bebop and Rocksteady tie up April and return to the Technodrome with Vernon. After finally discovering the secret to disrupting the effects of Krang's Neuralizer, Donatello realizes that they need Dr. O'Toole's Sonic Pulverizer and that they are going to have to find the Mole Squad's secret hideout and liberate it from them. After a successful minor skirmish with the Mole Squad, they rendezvous with Kala at the City Park, where she informs them that she pretended to make up with Dask and Zak in her efforts to lure them to the Turtles. The Sonic Pulverizer does not work at first. While Donatello is busy trying to recalibrate it, Dask and Zak are chasing the Turtles all over the park, firing their StarMobile laser guns. Finally it works and Dask and Zak revert back to their lovable selves. The Turtles, along with the Neutrinos head for the Technodrome where they rescue Vernon. The Neutrinos head back into Dimension X.

163. Escape from the Plant of the Turtleloids

The Turtles visit April at Channel Six News and ask her if they could use the stations' equipment to contact their old Turtleoid buddy, Kerma, on Shell-Ri-La. April informs them that the necessary equipment is all tied up and that the only time they could use it would be at four in the morning, after Channel Six has gone off the air. Meanwhile, down in the Technodrome, Krang is up to his old tricks again. After discovering an unbelievably powerful solar storm, he has devised a way to supply energy to the Technodrome. It seems that the antenna of the Colossus Building, located in The City, is made of a rare alloy that soaks up energy like a sponge. It is Krang's intent to turn the Colossus Building into a massive solar collector and, by running a cable between it and the Technodrome, enable it to become full powered again. Just to make sure that the Turtles do not interfere with his plans, Krang had three Hunter Drones drop-shipped from Dimension X to keep the reptiles busy. Back at Channel Six, while the Turtles wait to use the stations equipment, who should drop in announced - you guessed it! Kerma! That's right! Kerma has arrived in his Chrysler Building Rocket Ship with a small problem - one that he explains to the Turtles on their trip back to Shell-Ri-La. No sooner do the Turtles leave with Kerma, then the Hunter Drones arrive at Channel Six, "loaded for bear" and destroy the place searching for their pre-programmed prey. On Shell-Ri-La, Kerma's small problem appears to be four malfunctioning robots that Kerma built to protect the Turteloids and he had hoped that Donatello could repair them. As it turns out, these four robots look just like Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Raphael and Donatello - only made of 24 karat gold and twice as big. While Donatello begins his repair work on Kerma's "heavy metal scaredy cats", Leonardo, Raphael and Michaelangelo acknowledge that maybe Kerma's small problem really is just a small problem and decide to check out the sights. That is until Groundchuck, Dirtbag and Captain Dredd, the most feared brigands in the whole galaxy, arrive to liberate Kerma's little old gold machine. After a senseless battle, Captain Dredd, Groundchuck and Dirtbag kidnap Kerma and take off in their spaceship. Back on earth, convinced that the Turtles have been destroyed by the Hunter Drones, Krang claims that the City is as good as theirs as he leads Shredder, Bebop, Rocksteady and the Foot Soldiers to the Colossus Building. Meanwhile, Donatello is uncertain about his ability to repair Kerma's robots, but is pretty sure that he can rig Shell-Ri-La's damaged Force Field generator to protect the Turtleoid Gold Making machine. No sooner does he accomplish this task then Captain Dredd's ship returns, but instead of Captain Dredd, out walks Kerma. It seems that he was pushed just too far and he decided to escape. The Turtles think that maybe Kerma is ready for some ninja training, but before he is able to master any of the moves, Captain Dredd, Groundchuck, and Dirtbag do return - with company BRUTE FORCE to be exact - four identical giant aliens! Donatello is still having little success with Kerma's robots as Leonardo, Michaelangelo, and Raphael are getting their butts kicked by the Brute force "quads" while Captain Dredd, Groundchuck, and Dirtbag start tearing the golden city apart. Kerma's blood boils again and he joins in the fray, demonstrating an uncanny martial arts ability. After successfully foiling Captain Dredd and company, Kerma returns the Turtles back to Earth where they successfully foil Krang and Shredder's latest scheme.

164. Revenge of the Fly

Thanks to Vernon's irresponsible journalism, the Turtles find it necessary to stand guard at the Genetic Research Lab. The TMNT are protecting the Genetic Essences of numerous insects, as developed by a local research scientist - essences that were designed to create insects for specific purposes. Meanwhile, in an attempt to open the portal to Dimension X, Krang opens the portal "to the place where he put Baxter Stockman." And naturally, Baxter Stockman/The Fly comes "buzzing" out crying "I'm free! I'm free!" and takes control of the Technodrome. Baxter is determined to make Shredder and Krang pay for turning him into a hideously deformed mutant and to get his revenge on everybody in the whole wide world. With the aid of Baxter's alien computer buddy, he learns about the dangerous genetic substances as reported by Vernon only moments earlier. Baxter is hell-bent on "acquiring" these "dangerous genetic substances" to enact his revenge. Back at the Genetic Research Lab, the Turtles, bored to tears, are called away to rescue April atop a burning building. No sooner do they leave, than Baxter Stockman/The Fly arrives and does the dirty deed. While Baxter Stockman/The Fly flies over the City looking for something to mix Krang's mutagen with the "genetic essences of insects", he spies a fireman dousing the flames of the EMF Building, the site of April's recent rescue by the Turtles, with a Super-Slosher 2000. Baxter is convinced that this is just what the doctor ordered and is proven right when he turns the "fearless firemen" into giant "fear inducing Termites". Baxter Stockman/The Fly's next target is the local carnival. Within minutes every human in the place has become an insect - an insect with a voracious appetite. So naturally, when the Turtles arrive on the scene, they have no idea that they are beating innocent victims - that is until the alien computer (left behind when Baxter flew off to "transform" his next set of victims, spills the beans that Baxter is at Channel Six). But when April and the Turtles arrive, they discover that they are too late. Irma has been turned into a moth, Vernon has been turned into a spider, Burne has been turned into a bee, and the interior walls of Channel Six are now honey-combed. After a series of misadventures, the Turtles capture Baxter Stockman/The Fly. But in the process, the converted Super Slosher 2000 is broken and now the only way to turn all of Baxter's victims back into humans (including April, who is now a wasp) is to borrow Shredder's Retro-Mutagen ray, which he coincidentally had just repaired at the beginning of the first act. After another series of misadventures down in the Technodrome, the Turtles destroy the alien computer, send Baxter back to the place he came from, obtain Shredder's Retro-Mutagen Ray gun and return back to the City where they turn everyone back to normal - or normal as they ever were, and destroy Shredder's device.

165. Atlantis Awakes

While surfing in the white water rapids of the sewer, Michaelangelo is rescued by Merdude, a half-man/half fish from the lost city of Atlantis. Merdude left Atlantis over 200 years ago in search of others of his kind - it seems that Merdude is the only mutant in the lost city. But now he has lost his way and the Turtles, using Donatello's Porta-Tracker, volunteer to help him find his way back home. Meanwhile, aboard the Technodrome, Krang's computers are picking up some low-level energy readings emanating nearby. With the Technodrome's power reserves at an all time low, Krang thinks it would be prudent to investigate. Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady, using a much faster Transport Module for the required reconnaissance work, quickly discovers the legendary lost city, and as luck would have it, the Atlanteans believe that Bebop (that's right, Bebop!) is their long lost King. It seems that the Atlanteans have been waiting generations for a strange creature to come from the sea to reclaim his throne, thereby fulfilling their age-old prophecy. But Hepax Lagamina, a young and beautiful Atlantean woman, comes forth and declares that Bebop could not possibly be their king. Hepax insists that the true king would be a water breather and Bebop is a pig! Quick thinking Shredder jumps into the fray and suggests that as king, Bebop should order the traitor to be "clapped into irons" and so she is. By the time Merdude and the Turtles arrive, Bebop, in all his regal finery, is ensconced upon the throne and once again issues the "clap in irons" orders, but Merdude and the TMNT disappear back into the sewers beneath the city of Atlantis. While Bebop enjoys his new role, Shredder and Rocksteady discover the Star of Atlantis, the largest jewel they have ever seen. Shredder contacts Krang, who insures them that this jewel is exactly what they need to use as a focusing crystal and turn the Technodrome's main cannon into the most powerful heat ray in the universe. Realizing that it is too large for just the two of them to carry, Shedder convinces King Bebop to deploy his subjects in the endeavor. Hepax convinces Merdude to challenge Bebop to meet him in the Atlantean arena. Merdude uses his telepathic powers to call upon his friends of the deep. The area is filled with all kinds of aquatic life. Merdude wields the Trident of Power and Bebop quickly renounces his throne. Meanwhile, Shredder steals the Star of Atlantis but the Turtles get it back and return it to Atlantis. Merdude is named King.

167. Invasion of the Krangezoids

After bumbling another robbery attempt, Bebop and Rocksteady return to the Technodrome empty-handed. Krang is livid.It seems that he must do everything himself - but that is not possible. That is until he realizes that if he were to create clones of himself, he could do everything himself. However, Krang ended up with six representations of different aspects of his personality, rather than six identical versions of himself. The clones immediately prove to be uncooperative - until Krang demonstrates to them who the boss is. Meanwhile, Shredder is unable to come up with a plan (via his computer) to destroy the Turtles, and so he decides that April O'Neil might be the key to his triumph over his reptilian nemeses. April and the Turtles investigate a break-in at the A-1 Scientific Company by something that sounds like Krang. They quickly encounter all six Krang clones, and execute a "bold and daring ninja maneuver" to make a hasty retreat. Back at Channel six, Bebop and Rocksteady plant a "teleportation device" inside April's camera in hopes that April will tape footage of the Turtles which would then "teleport" them to a pre-selected location - Shredder's secret hideout at the City Zoo. The only problem is that only one Turtle (Leonardo) and April were transported - leaving Donatello, Michaelangelo, and Raphael to figure out what is going on. Meanwhile, Krang's clones have developed hands, feet and bodies, thereby having little use for their Bubble Walkers - which means they are free of the real Krang's control. Krang's clones, now known as Krangazoids, decide that they will create a thermal device, plant it under the City and re-create Dimension X here on earth. However, the Krangazoids cannot decide who shall be the absolute ruler. Back at the City Zoo, Shredder contacts the Turtles via Leonardo's TurtleCom and invites them to come rescue their friends. Donatello convinces the other two Turtles that they must stop the Krangazoids first. When Don's plan doesn't work, Michaelangelo jokingly suggests hat they need the firepower of the Krangazoids' Bubble Walkers. Donatello realizes that this is a brilliant idea and they set out to gather up the six abandoned Bubble Walkers from around the city. When they arrive at the City Zoo, they easily defeat Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady, rescue Leonardo and April, and place the teleportation device in the Transport Module. Moments later, the Turtles are able to defeat the Krangzoids and transport them into the Transport Module. Krang pretends to send them home, but actually sends them into dimensional limbo.

168. Combat Land

There is a new amusement park in town and it is called COMBAT LAND. So says the fliers that are being passed all over town inviting all comers to "test their skills against the greatest robot warrior in history and beyond" at tomorrow's grand opening. While covering the story of the grand opening of Combat Land, April, Irma and Vernon discover that there may be no grand opening until the robotic warriors have been fully tested. It seems that the park's owner, Horatio Stressbar, has been unable to find anyone with the combat skills to give his robotic warriors a thorough work out. April, concerned about getting her story on the air, offers the services of the Turtles. After being introduced to Mr. Stressbar and Denton Nulcet, the chief robotic engineer, the Turtles are informed that they will not be allowed to use their weapons in Combat Land. The Turtles reluctantly agree and are issued "safety" weapons to battle against the robotic warriors. The Turtles immediately decide to split up as they independently check out the Shogun Zone, the Medieval Zone, and the Future Zone. Meanwhile, Irma is sure that this whole set up is weird. Unable to convince April of her suspicions, Irma sets out with her mini-cam to find the real story. Sure enough, after being attacked with real weapons by robotic Samurais, robotic Knights and robotic cyber-warriors, the defenseless April, Leo, Don and Raph come to the same conclusion. Then, for no apparent reason, the robots stop attacking our heroes and begin a march into the City. Meanwhile, Michaelangelo, Irma and Vernon are missing. So, while Leonardo searches for Michaelangelo in the confines of the amusement park, Donatello and Raphael follow the robots into the City, while April investigates Horatio Stressbar's past. Along the way, Leo discovers Michaelangelo's robotic twin and is taken prisoner, while Donatello and Raphael have just discovered that the Combat Land robots are walking time bombs and they are all headed for the sewers. At the amusement park, Horatio Stressbar reveals that his plan to blow up the sewers is generated merely by greed. It seems that he is convinced the City will then have to pay him twenty million dollars to repair them. But it does not end there, Stressbar and Nulcet are also planing to destroy bridges, subways and buildings in order to acquire every major contract in the city. Over at Channel Six, April verifies what we have just learned when she contacts Donatello and Raphael and tells them about Stressbar's petitions for repairing the sewers. Donatello and Raphael return to Combat Land, after Donatello successfully jammed the radio signal messages being directed to Combat Land robots. Donny rescues Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Irma, and Vernon, and they destroy the computers that control the robot warriors.

Believing that Shredder and Krang have taken over the Hall of Science, now that Berserko is out of commission, the Turtles set out to investigate, only to be repelled by Bebop and Rocksteady. April was able to capture the battle on tape, but she is afraid that it will not convince Burne of the Turtles' innocence. Meanwhile, Burne has created a hot line for callers to use should they spot those "evil" Turtles... the ones responsible for the destruction of the Channel Six News Building. Inside the Hall of Science, Shredder is fearful that the Turtles will eventually find a way into the building and must be stopped now, at any cost. Krang suggests that Shredder not worry with the equipment that Berserko left behind, as he believes that he will be able to restore communications with the Technodrome (which is still in Dimension X) and have it at their disposal once more. However, Shredder is not convinced and decides to seek out an old friend in the sewers. The Rat King! Meanwhile, Channel Six continues to run editorials denouncing the Turtles. Raphael is ready to storm down to the new Channel Six Station and "have a chat" with Vernon and Burne, when Donatello suggest that maybe Vernon is right!

Krang sends Bebop and Rocksteady out to try and retrieve it, only for them to discover that it is at the Westmore Research Center. Over at the temporary Channel Six News Station, April is unable to convince Burne not to run his expose denouncing the Turtles and threatens to get her own story, proving the Turtles' innocence. April returns to the Hall of Science in time to see the Rat King enter. When she contacts the Turtles, they shrug it off and say there is nothing they can do. When Splinter hears this, he threatens to go take care of ăthis menace himself, so the TMNT join forces with their Sensei. Only when the heroes arrive at the Hall of Science, the last thing they expect to see was giant mutant rats! Krang used his new strain of mutagen on the Rat King's pet rats. The Turtles and Splinter retreat. Shredder, the Rat King and his giant mutant rats head for the Westmore Research Center with April and her mini-cam in pursuit.

174. H.A.V.O.C. in the Streets

Titanus sends of couple of his H.A.V.O.C. mutants to bust into the Aerospace Plant and steal some much needed equipment. Only problem is that the Turtles were waiting for them. After a fight, the mutants "beat feet" and the Turtles are left scratching their heads wondering what the mutants were after. Leonardo, Raphael, and Donatello also berate Michaelangelo - maybe if he hadn't been goofing off, the mutants might not have escaped. Back at H.A.V.O.C. headquarters, during our exposition scene, Titanus explains that he has finally located his missing FLUX TRANSFORMER, the one thing that will make the mutants "masters of time and space travel", at a heavily fortified military base. And the only way he can get it, is by building his SKY PLATFORM. And the only way he can build his SkyPlatform is by distracting the Turtles long enough so that his mutants can obtain the required parts. To this end, Titanus springs a CON from prison (thanks to the Turtles who put him there in the first place), turns the con into a mutant now known as SYNAPSE, a creature of pure energy, and sics him onto the Turtles. Back at the lair, Donatello logs onto his computer to investigate the Aerospace Plant to see if he can learn what the mutants might have been after, only to have Synapse come bursting out of his computer to attack the Turtles. With the Turtles busy being chased by Synapse, Titanus is able to successfully build his SkyPlatform. But once again, Michelangelo is "distracted", and his brother Turtles are left to deal with Synapse by themselves. Over at Channel Six, Synapse is terrorizing April, Vernon, Burne and the other employees as he systematically trashes the news station. While Leonardo, Donatello, and Raphael pursue Synapse across town, Michelangelo returns to the scene of the original crime where he spies Titanus and company, building their SkyPlatform, and is caught in the "peeping-tom" act. After Leonardo, Donatello, and Raphael finally defeat Synapse by sending him into outerspace where he will "ride the airwaves" for eternity, they unite with Michelangelo to stop Titanus and his mutants. On board the SkyPlatform, the Turtles engage the mutants into a firefight in the engine room, causing the massive ship to malfunction and crash, but not before Titanus and his fellow H.A.V.O.C. members escape aboard a shuttle.

175. Enter: Krakus

gs: Cam Clarke (voice of OverDrive)

While surveying the military Base where the FLUX TRANSFORMER is being housed, knowing that it can warp time and space, the Turtles ponder as to what Titanus would want with it. Suddenly, they notice assorted military personnel loading it onto a truck and leaving the base. The Turtles need to know where it is going in order to prevent Titanus from getting his hands on it, so April elects to follow it while the Turtles opt to rid the streets of the H.A.V.O.C. mutants. That is until KRAKUS, a cop from the future, arrives and thinking that the Turtles are in league with Titanus, shakes them down for information. Meanwhile, April continues to track the Flux Transformer as it is off-loaded from the military Truck onto a train, and then in the "middle of nowhere", it is air-lifted onto a helicopter. After April contacts them with the bad news, the TMNT decide to break into the Government Computer Center and access the files pertaining to the Flux Transmitter -- maybe they will learn where it has been taken. Unfortunately, they set off the alarms and before they can make good their escape, Krakus reappears and attempts to arrest them. The Turtles get the upper hand and force Krakus to explain to them who he is. It seems that Krakus is from the year 2066 and he is pursuing Titanus, who is also from the future where he almost took over the world with his mutants. But he escaped into the past and is now attempting to recreate his future here in the Turtles' present. Suddenly, April arrives with her mini-cam and video tapes the battle between Krakus and the Turtles -- until Krakus, who is stunned to meet her, reveals that in the future she saves his father's life and if it wasn't for her, he would not be alive. After convincing Krakus that the Turtles are the good guys, Krakus apologizes and together they go after Titanus, with Krakus keeping a protective eye on April. Back at H.A.V.O.C. Headquarters, Titanus learns the location of the Flux Transformer and sends a squad of mutants to retrieve it, but panics when he learns that Krakus is here in the present. So Titanus dispatches another squad of mutants to take care of the "TimeCop" - resulting in the destruction of Krakus' weapons and the "time machine" and also the kidnapping of April. By the time the Turtles and Krakus reunite and storm the H.A.V.O.C. headquarters, Titanus is gone. In his place he left a pre-recorded message outlining his plans for both the FLUX Transformer and for April O'Neil. With no weapons, no time machine and no way back home, Krakus has Donatello use Titanus' MUTATION GENERATOR to transform him into a giant mutant so that he can save April. She must live to save his father, so that he may be born. After successfully rescuing April, the mutated Krakus and the Turtles stop Titanus from bringing more mutants through his TimeGate into the present, send Titanus back to the prehistoric past, and send Krakus (now reverted back to normal form thanks to a "Duration Timer" on the Mutation Generator) back to the future

176. Cyber-Turtles

While investigating the theft of a rare telescope, the Astro-Viewer, the Turtles discover odd tracks leading away from the National Space Exploration Center. Meanwhile, at the Hall of Science, having installed the Astro-Viewer in a vain attempt to create a dimensional portal, Krang discovers an alien StarFighter flying closely past Earth. He is able to break into their transmission and learns that they have recently defeated their enemies and now have possession of the Firestar, which will make them the undisputed masters of the universe. Krang is excited by this piece of information. Until now, he had always thought that the Firestar was only a legend. It seems that the Firestar contains the power of a thousand suns. Krang believes it is his destiny to rule the cosmos, not just those creatures. Krang brings the alien StarFighter down with his lasers. Moments later, Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady arrive, stun Commander Korak and his comrades of the Glaxxon Federation, steal the FireStar and head back to the Hall of Science. April and the Turtles race to the crash site only to be confronted by Commander Korak and his fellow Glaxxons, who think that they have taken the FireStar. After being captured, the Turtles try to explain that they only came to make sure that nobody was hurt and that they are friends. Commander Korak explains that the Glaxxons have no friends and orders them thrown into a cell. The Glaxxons set out in search of the FireStar and April contacts the one person she can always count on when the Turtles are in trouble: CASEY JONES! Shredder delivers the FireStar to a very excited Krang. The Glaxxons fear that someone is jamming their sensors, as they cannot locate the FireStar. They head for the City determined to destroy the world if they have to. The Turtles escape from their cell and steal four Cyber suits. They become the Cyber Turtles and follow the Glaxxons to the City. When they meet up a battle ensues. April and Casey sneak into the Hall of Science and steal back the FireStar. The Glaxxons surrender.

179. Dregg of the Earth

We open this story with HI-TECH leading a group of TECHNOGANGSTERS on a break-in at a Government Lab. The object of their quest? A PROTON ACCELERATOR, but the Turtles and Carter are there waiting for them, and after a fight scene Hi-Tech and the TechnoGangsters escape with their booty. The Turtles are ticked off at Carter because, once again, he didn't play like a team member. Carter is angered by their criticism and takes off on his motorcycle. Back at the lair, while Leonardo is unable to locate the Dreggnaught with their tracking equipment, Donatello continues to express concern about the results of his testing of the unstable mutagen. Suddenly, April contacts them to let them know that Dregg has landed on Earth and is preparing a press conference. The Turtles rush to meet April at the Park, where they hear Dregg announce his friendly intentions and offers the world his MOLECULAR CONVERTER, a device that will rid the world of pollution. To the Turtles' utter surprise, Dregg is a welcomed hero! All that Dregg asks for in return is a base of operations, so that he can put his advanced technology to use for the good the planet. The City is more than happy to provide him with a new skyscraper, now known as the Dregg Tower. The Turtles can't believe that this is happening! Somehow some way, they have to prove to the world that Dregg is evil. But they are unable to get inside his new building and dig up any dirt. Meanwhile, Carter, wanting desperately to prove his worth to the Turtles, makes a bogus deal with Dregg to deliver the Turtles to him. Dregg readily accepts. Only Carter neglects to inform the Turtles of this deal, and they most definitely feel betrayed when they are captured by Hi-Tech and his TechnoGangsters and delivered to the Dreggnaught. And to make matters worse, while the Turtles are strapped to steel slabs in Dregg's Power Chamber and are busily trying to free themselves - something happens. They momentarily and uncontrollably begin to mutate. But before the Turtles can dwell on the preview of their future, Carter arrives to rescue them. After Carter convinces the TMNT that this was all part of his plan to get the Turtles inside the Dregg Tower (seeing as how they couldn't by themselves), they embark on their mission to shut down Dregg. But during the middle of the climactic third act fight, Carter mutates, only this time the Turtles are able to witness it and April gets it all on tape. With Dregg temporarily defeated once again, the Turtles and Carter return to the lair. Unfortunately April lost her mini-cam holding the taped proof of Dregg's real intentions, but thanks to their commonality, the Turtles and Carter are finally a team.

180. The Wrath of Medusa

Believing that the Turtles are the only thing that stands between him and total domination of the planet, and unable to obtain him much needed Neutronium Ore, Dregg makes contact with an old ally: Medusa, a sinisterly beautiful alien. Dregg employees Medusa to eliminate the Turtles for him. So while Medusa lures the Turtles into a fight at the hydroelectric plant, Hi-Tech successfully leads the Technogangsters back to the Neutronium mine, where they are free to continue their work. Back at the plant, the mutant Carter nearly destroys the dam (which would have caused the loss of thousands of lives) and in the confusion, Medusa captures Leonardo. It seems that she intends to sell him and the other Turtles into slave labor in another part of the galaxy. Carter, now back to his normal self, blames himself for Leonardo's disappearance. He realizes he needs to spend more time training with Splinter to learn to control his mutation. The Turtles accept Medusa's "invitation" to meet her at the World Broadcast Tower to rescue Leonardo, only to find that they have been duped. During their battle the Turtles experience a full-blown mutation - which scares Medusa and she retreats. Meanwhile, Dregg volunteers to repair the crippled SkySat Space Station, which has been orbiting the Earth powerless. Little do the Earthlings know that he intends to install his Stasis Relay System to fulfill his destiny to become the supreme ruler of the world! Medusa steals Carter's Virtual Reality Projector and uses it to lure Donatello, Raphael and Michaelangelo onto her ship. But by using the homing device built into the Turtles' Turtlecoms, Carter is able to locate Medusa's ship and rescue them. He sends Medusa (via her onboard teleporter) to the other side of the galaxy and foils Dregg's master plan. Unfortunately, the Turtles are being blamed for the destruction of the SkySat Station and Dregg is still considered a hero.

181. The New Mutation

After yet another battle with DREGG'S TECHNOGANSTERS, the TMNT return to their lair with Carter. Dregg now has the law on his side. The TMNT narrowly escaped being arrested. Carter and the Turtles are fed up. They are tired of Dregg's ability to fool the humans into believing that he is their savior! After challenging Dregg to a final showdown, they find themselves on the losing end. Only this time, their new mutations have been captured on film and now the world believes the SuperTurtles to be evil horrible monsters. Unbeknownst to anyone the SLORR was released from its incubator and now it is missing. So, while Carter works on his Wrist Ray, the Turtles journeyed to the mountain site of Dregg's new base of operations: The Citadel. No sooner than the Turtles arrive, then they are attacked and mutate into their Super-Turtle forms. Dregg sends the REPLICON, a robotic warrior after them. They keep mutating and demutating during their fight. Every time they destroy the Replicon, it "replicates" itself in multiples. Meanwhile, April contacts Carter about the Giant Slug Creature (The Slorr) that is attacking the Northside mall. Carter discovers that whatever piece of metal the Slorr ingests, becomes part of it's physical make-up. Carter tries out his wrist ray and it works to stop the Slorr. The Slorr then flies away. Later, Carter and the Turtles team up and overload the Citadel generators with the X-fire fuel, in hopes that it will blow itself up - which it does and successfully reverse the Slorr's growth pattern back to its original slug-like form.

182. The Showdown

At Carter's hideout, Michaelangelo and Carter hang out playing video games. However, today during a video game, the TV monitor goes screwy and Carter assumes that it's just a malfunction. Back at the lair, April contacts the other Turtles to inform them that all the TV stations in the City are jammed. Suddenly she is caught in the hypnotic effect of the spinning wheel pattern from her television set. Carter runs into his old rival JET McCABE. Jet is a teenager who's had a vendetta against Carter ever since Carter had him thrown out of a local martial arts club for cheating. Jet wants to settle the score but Carter can't take the time - the Turtles need him. Meanwhile, Dregg has contacted one of his minions SLEAZEBUG, who is presently recruiting able-bodied life forms all over the galaxy to participate in a martial arts tournament. If Sleazebug can get the TMNT for the tournament they will be transported clean across the galaxy and Dregg will not have them interefering with his plans. Sleazebug catches up with the team just as Carter is about to confront Jet McCabe. Sleazebug zaps them instantly to the site of the tournament but he fails to get Donatello and Raphael who tear off in pursuit. Michaelangelo, Leonardo, Carter and Jet find themselves in a holding cell on another planet. The martial arts tournament is at the compound of the sinister KARG. The rule here is "fight to the death". Carter and Jet must set aside their differences and, with the two Turtles, face a fearsome variety of alien combatants. Back on Earth, Donatello modifies the TechnoTracker based on his belief that Sleazebug's vehicle left a trail of particle traces. Don wants to follow the particle remains so that he and Raphael can obtain the teleporter and rescue Carter and the other Turtles. Meanwhile on the distant planet, a guard takes Leonardo and Michaelangelo to a teleporter in return for sparing his life. Jet elects to stay where he feels that he can be a champion. Leonardo, Michaelangelo and Carter arrive back on Earth in time to help Donatello and Raphael destroy Dregg's Mutation Machine and cause his latest base operations to blow sky high.

183. Split-Second

Carter, April and the Turtles investigate a break-in at the Antique Timepiece Museum. Convinced that Dregg is responsible, but not sure why, the Turtles discover a clue on a wall display of two rows of clocks. Above the top row are the letters "LT," and above the bottom row are the letters "LL". Donatello deduces that they are "Longitude" and "Latitude" and, after adding up the numbers on the clocks and checking a map, he announced the location - the NorthWest Steel Mill. The heroes decide to investigate to see if it is one of Dregg's traps. But it is not Dregg, instead they find a costume character named CHRONOS - Master of Time and King of the Clocktower. Chronos escapes but threatens the Turtles that he is planning on committing two crimes and challenges them to stop him. Something about this guy seems familiar, so the Turtles separate into two teams to prevent both of Chronos crimes. April sets out to learn his identity. Back at the lair, the Intruder Alarm sounds and Splinter unexpectedly finds himself at the mercy of Chronos. Later, the Turtles and Carter reunite to compare notes. Only they happen to meet below the City Hall Clocktower which reminds them of a past adventure which leads them to the identity of Chronos. It seems his real name is Winston Fripp, and he was apprehended by the Turtles after he had robbed the City Treasurey. Apparently, the Turtles tied him up and left him in the Clocktower for the police. The clanking of the gears and the knelling of the bells drove him insane and he has vowed revenge against the Turtles ever since. But Fripp/Chronos does not know about Carter or the Turtles new mutations, so Carter is able to learn the location of Master Splinter and rescue him. Later, Dregg, who had supplied Chronos with his arsenal, pretends to have been responsible for the capture of Chronos and vows to continue protection the City from all criminals and the mutant Turtles!

184. Carter the Enforcer

Dregg announces to the world his latest project to benefit mankind - the STAR SHIELD. And once again, the Turtles can not believe the gullibility of the humans and have decided to take a new attitude - the heck with 'em! However, Splinter convinces the TMNT that it is their duty to fight evil, even when the whole world is against them. With that said, Carter and the Turtles team up with April to "get the goods" on Dregg. At the location of the Star Shield construction site, our heroes are amazed by the sight of this "cross between a flying saucer and a battleship". Convinced that no good can come from this, April successfully videotapes Dregg and Hi-Tech discussing the real purpose behind the Star Shield - to attack the people of Earth! But before April, Carter, and the Turtles can escape with the incriminating evidence, they are caught. After an obligatory fight scene, they narrowly escape. The Turtles return to the lair, while Carter escorts April to a local news station, where she hopes to convince the News Director to air the footage. Naturally, the News Director is a pro-Dregg supporter and believes the video tape to be a hoax. Meanwhile, Carter has been abducted by a team of TechnoGangsters and taken away. Back at the lair, April reports on her meeting with the News Director and is surprised to learn that Carter is not with the Turtles. Temporarily setting aside their concern for their friend, they decide to "pirate" the broadcast themselves. But before they can accomplish this, Carter arrives with ray guns blasting and destroys the tape. Meanwhile, two other characters, LANDOR and MERRIK, arrive from out of nowhere and help the Turtles defend themselves against Carter and the TechnoGangsters. But when the firefight is over, Carter, the TechnoGangsters, Landor, and Merrik are gone. The Turtles send April out to learn what she can about Landor and Merrik, while they are left to make heads or tails out of what just happened! They don't have to wait long, after Carter and TechnoGangsters return to finish the job, Landor and Merrik, who have been trying to convince the Turtles that they are from the future and that they are trying to protect them, have no choice but to -- go "BACK TO THE FUTURE". In the future, the Turtles discover that Dregg won, and that Carter is the local ENFORCER. But something is unsettling - Carter does not appear to be any older than he was in the past and also appears to have the strength of his mutant form without mutating. Soon, they discover that Carter is not Carter, but a robotic droid, and that he never did betray them. They must return to their own time before this bleak future really does come to pass. The Turtles arrive just in time to join forces with the real Carter, destroy the bogus Carter, and prevent Dregg's Star Shield from becoming operational. Later, April takes them to meet Landor and Merrik, two small children playing in the park.

185. Doomquest

Once again, Dregg broadcasts his message to the citizens of Earth about the evil mutant Turtles and, once again, the Turtles are ticked off. In fact, the TMNT are so ticked off that they mutate on the spot and, in broad daylight, attack a squad of TechnoGangsters, scaring the local citizenry. This of course confirms the citizens' worst fears about the Turtles as promoted by Dregg. Back at the lair, after the fight scene and the escape scene, the Turtles complain about their inability to control their mutations. Splinter suggests that it is because they are unable to control their "deepest rage" and that they may have to "sacrifice more than they can possibly imagine" in order to finally defeat Dregg. Meanwhile in outer space onboard the Dreggnaught, an ALIEN SCOUT delivers the VORTEX CRYSTAL (which has the power to warp space itself) to Dregg. The alien crimelord is pleased, for with the power of this crystal, he will be able to bring his entire armada (which has been scattered across the galaxies) together and lay siege to planet Earth -- that is until the Alien Scout informs him that there is another who seeks the Vortex Crystal - DOOMQUEST! Dregg realizes that he must act quickly and perpetrates one last deception upon the Earthlings. But during the ceremony where Dregg "gifts" the Vortex Crystal to the Mayor as a source of unlimited clean energy, the sky darkens - Doomquest and his partner-in-crime, DRACONUS, have arrived and attempt to take possession of the Crystal. Fortunately, the Turtles have been spying on the proceedings and manage to get to it first. So while Doomquest captures Dregg, Draconus (aboard his Hover-Chariot) searches the City for the Crystal. April goes off to find a new mini-cam (hers was destroyed in the fire fight), the the Turtles and Carter attempt to analyze the "rock". Unfortunately for the Turtles, it doesn't take long for Draconus to track them down and take possession of the Crystal. However, the one thing they were able to learn about it was that they were unable to mutate in its presence. Back at Doomquest's Ship, the Crystal is activated and within minutes, "Dimensional Rifts" are opening up all over the City and releasing ALIEN MONSTERS. It seems that Doomquest's "quest" is to release his world (DARKREALM) which has been imprisoned in another dimension for centuries. The TMNT decide that they must get that Crystal and close all the vortexes before it is too late for the Earth as well as themselves. It seems that their mutations are causing them to turn on each other, which is very counterproductive. The Turtles arrive just as Dregg and Hi-Tech have escaped from their imprisonment and a battle royale ensues - everybody wants the Vortex Crystal. Carter manages to get it first with the help of the Turtles (who are willing to sacrifice the possibility of killing each other when they lose possession of the Crystal). The vortexes are closed and Doomquest is sucked back into the Darkrealm. That still leaves Dregg to contend with, but he is finally "outgunned" and decides to leave Earth for good. Meanwhile, April was able to get everything on video tape, broadcast it across the City and convince the humans that the TMNT are the real heroes.

Dregg and his crew plan an invasion of Attack Monsters to take over Earth and make it his new home base, but first he has to get his transporter chip back from Shredder... Meanwhile Krang and Shredder free themselves from the rubble of the caved-in building and head back to the nuclear power plant. Back at the Turtles' lair, the weakened Turtles are revived. The "past" Turtles want to get home. Carter sends out a message to Landor and Merrick to take the Turtles back to the past but he gets no response. Donatello reminds them that the "past" Turtles can only remain for a short while or all eight Turtles will cease to exist! Krang and Shredder are heading to the power plant when they run into a patrol of bat-men. Krang hypnotizes one of them and they continue to the power plant. Dregg reveals that he needs most of his bat-men to man his Attack Monsters. He also has his micro-bots construct weapons for the Monsters and sets them out to attack the Earth. Back at the lair, Landor and Merrick materialize only to find that the "past" Turtles went to battle the Attack Monsters. They go off to find them. Carter and the "present" Turtles arrive at the power plant and battle Dregg and the remaining bat-men. During the battle, Dregg goes after Shredder, hoping to get the chip back. Donatello is knocked into the computer and he quickly does some rewiring. Dregg traps Shredder, Krang, Carter and the Turtles and gets the chip! He puts in into the transporter and orders Mung to transport a sunspot to the nation's capital. Mung throws the switch and on the screen you can see the capital burn. Dregg watches as more sunspots are being transported to cities around the world. In the City the "past" Leonardo discovers that there are bat-men inside the Attack Monsters. The Turtles are able to get inside one and use it to take out all the other Attack Monsters. They head for the power plant in their Attack Monster. Dregg calls the UN demanding they surrender the world to him or he will turn the entire planet into a boiling sun. The UN official does not know what on Earth Dregg is talking about. Dregg is enraged. He checks his computer and discovers he's got a bogus chip. Donatello reveals that he rewired the computer to play Dregg's VR simulation of the sunspots. Dregg is furious. He aims his wrist blaster and is about to start shooting when the "past" Turtles arrive in the Attack Monster. The other Turtles finally capture Dregg and drain him of his Krang/Turtle energy. They transport Shredder and Krang back to Dimension X, and transport Dregg and Mung back to their home planet. Landor and Merrick arrive and take the "past" Turtles back to their own time.

191. Mobster from Dimension X

Dr. Alvin Huxley has demonstrated his breakthrough invention: The Protein Computer, a computer that thinks as fast as a human mind and can be linked to one. When some gangsters break into the Professor's lecture and try to kidnap him, the Turtles arrive and drive the gangsters away. But these are not ordinary gangsters as their boss is is the Globfather, a large slimy green amoeba in a pinstripe suit and fedora. The Globfather is on Earth and wants to get the protein computer for someone who is willing to pay a lot for it.

NOTE: You can read several versions of "Mobster from Dimension X," including the "beats" and Jeffrey Scott's final draft in Jeffrey Scott's book, How to Write for Animation. Jeffrey Scott's original outline for "Mobster from Dimension X" included a scene in which the turtles' adviser, Splinter, lectured them on calming their minds and guiding their thoughts. This scene was cut from the final script.

192. The Day the Earth Disappeared

With the city breaking apart, the Turtles head to the street to investigate and see the Dreggnaut appear in the sky. They are attacked by bat-men and Dregg himself, but manage to escape. But Dregg already has a plan and, with Mung's help, reprograms the transporter to open a warp in space. According to Donatello, this warp will grow large enough to swallow Earth in two hours, sending the planet to Dimension X. The Turtles and Splinter try to put a stop to Dregg's plan, but get sucked in and separated: Leonardo and Donatello land on a planetoid and Michaelangelo and Raphael on another world. Splinter, however, arrives onto the Dreggnaut and tries to override the transporter controls, but has to battle the bat-men. Back at the Lair, April tries using the computer to stop the portal, but it continues swallowing the planet. When the Turtles appear on the Dreggnaut, however, Splinter transports the warp within the ship and causes it to be destroyed. The Turtles and Splinter escape, being transported back to the Lair.
