Donatello: A while back, I made a promise to some friends,

and, believe it or not, that thing

struggling in the net right now

- is one of those friends. -( snarls )

You see, it's kind of a long story.

Our friends were mutated into monsters

by The Shredder's scientists.

Now they're forced to live underground,

prisoners of an ancient city

powered by a giant crystal moon,

and I believe it's these very same special crystals

that are the key to saving our friends

and hopefully curing them for good.

Trouble is, right now, my friends

don't particularly want to be cured.

Coming at you!

Whoops!

Michelangelo: Yo, Donnie, heads up!

Huh?

( groans )

Hey, you guys!

Can't you just leave me alone?

I'm sick of all these interruptions!

I can't work like this! Yaah!

Whoa! Ease up, Donnie.

You okay?

I know you ain't slept in days, bro.

Maybe you're-- I don't know-- working too much?

I'm trying to find a cure for our friends

trapped in the underground city.

( Michelangelo groans ) That creepy place?

Donatello: Well, how do you think they feel?

They're like prisoners down there.

Michelangelo: Man, remember that spooky sole survivor guy?

Donatello: I wish I could forget.

Remember what he said?

As we speak, the power of the cavern's crystal moon

is infusing your friends with its regenerative energy.

Raphael: I remember we had to put that wack-bag on ice.

No! No!

Donatello: And when our friends strayed too far

from the city's crystal moon,

they turned right back into monsters.

( growling )

We made them a promise, remember,

a promise to find a cure,

and I know the cure has something to do with these crystals.

I just don't know what.

- Hey-- - Let him go, Raph.

Don's got that "no matter what it takes" look.

We better just leave him alone.

( chemical hisses )

( electrical buzzing )

( groans )

I still don't have a clue what these things are made of.

( yawns ) Much less how they work.

( sighs )

( murmuring )

Quarry: Donatello.

Donatello.

( shrieks )

Hear the crystal.

( vibrating )

( monster voice ) Hear the crystal.

( human voice ) Donatello...

hear the crystal.

Donatello.

The crystal.

Hear the crystal.

That's it.

At least, I think that's it.

I gotta wake the others.

Hey, guys!

( yawns )

This better be good, Donnie.

A turtle needs his beauty sleep, you know.

I've been doing some testing.

The crystals react to sound,

high-frequency sonic disruption, to be precise.

That will cause the crystals to break down

into their purest, simplest form.

They liquefy!

And in this liquid form,

we can administer a version of it like a serum,

a cure.

Our friends will be able to leave

the underground city forever!

Don, I gotta say--

Way to go, egghead.

I, uh--I'm not so sure I deserve the credit.

I kind of got the idea in a dream.

A dream?

Donnie, you been working too hard.

No, guys, don't you get it?

Don had a crystal dream like the one I had

last time we went underground.

We gotta get back down there right away.

I've been working on that, too.

It's a lot shorter if we go straight down.

Gentlemen and Mikey,

I give you the Turtle Tunneler!

Tunneler engaged!

From here on in, the ride gets a whole lot bumpier.

Michelangelo: Are we there yet? Heh heh.

- ( swat ) - Ow!

Raphael: Zip it, goofball.

Next stop, underground city.

Already? I barely had time to watch the in-flight movie.

Wait a minute.

Isn't there supposed to be a light

at the end of this tunnel?

The crystal moon...

- ( turtles gasp ) - it's gone.

Okay, I know there was a big

crystal moon thing up on the ceiling

the last time we were here.

It can't just be gone.

It's worse than that.

The crystal moon was the only thing

keeping our friends from turning back into monsters.

( growling )

You were saying?

- Ugh! - Ugh!

- Ohh! - Hang on!

( all gasp )

( all scream )

( growls )

What? You think I wouldn't have

designed this thing to withstand lava?

What kind of idiot do you think I am?

Are there different kinds?

Um, why are we traveling into the city

and not to, say, Singapore?

Because we made a promise to help our friends, Mikey,

and we're gonna keep it.

They're out there.

Yeah, they're stalking us.

Why don't they attack already?

'Cause they don't want the Tunneler,

just the chewy green snacks inside.

Guys, don't worry.

I packed us a little something for emergencies.

Our seat backs detach to become Tech-Pack units,

high-tech weapon and survival gear.

And from the look of this place,

we're gonna need 'em.

Excuse me. Why are we getting out

of the nice, safe, heavily armored vehicle?

'Cause I need to find more crystals.

Don't worry, Mikey.

It's gonna be a piece of cake.

( growl )

Uh, yeah,

except we're the cake!

You still here?

Yo, buddy, that bus ain't coming.

The Entity's amulet

seems to be the only crystal we've seen.

It's a start, I guess,

but I'll need more.

( wall grinds )

What is this place?

Just what we need,

more creepy bald guys.

Why do I get the feeling Mr. sole survivor

didn't exactly tell us the whole story about his extinct race?

- ( hissing ) - Heads up, guys!

Raphael: We got company.

( both grunt )

Ah, Quarry!

Am I glad to see you!

Mikey, look out!

Too bad the feeling ain't mutual.

What's up with her?

It's like she don't remember us at all.

That's because I don't think she does.

Raph, your Tech-Pack!

Don't worry. She's just stunned.

Michelangelo: Not for long!

Keep her busy.

I'm gonna try the antidote serum on her.

Guys, Tech-Packs only.

( shrieks )

( roars )

Nets! I'm all out of nuts!

I mean, nuts! I'm all out of nets!

Relax, goofball.

Yo, Donnie, any day now with that cure thingie!

Come on. Come on.

Aha!

Quarry, wait!

It's me, Mikey!

Don't you know me?

We're your friends.

Try to remember!

( grunts )

( snarls )

( yelling )

Quarry, stop it!

( groans )

You came back.

I knew you would.

I can't thank you enough.

You came back with a cure.

It's unbelievable.

Our little Donnie's full of all kinds of ideas.

Quarry, what happened to the--

My real name is Sydney.

Oh, sorry.

Sydney, what happened to the crystal moon?

The crystal moon, it's all our fault.

We were getting stir-crazy trapped down here,

so we tried to find a cure ourselves.

We used up a lot of crystals,

but it was hopeless.

We thought perhaps a larger piece of crystal might work,

so we turned to the crystal moon.

With the help of some explosive geodes

we discovered in a chamber in the underground city,

we had hoped to break off a sizable piece of the moon.

But the geodes were more powerful than we realized.

The entire crystal moon fell from the cavern's ceiling

and sank beneath the molten lava.

Without the moon's regenerative power,

we instantly reverted back into monsters--

savage, mindless...

- ( roaring ) - ( roaring )

( shrieks )

fighting among ourselves,

lashing out at anything that moved.

( roars echo )

But now that you've cured me,

you can cure all of us.

We can all go home.

Yeah, except for a little problem.

I only had enough crystals to make one vial of serum.

I never expected to find a shortage of crystals down here.

With the crystal moon gone,

all the crystals are dead.

We'd have to raise the crystal moon from the lava

to bring back the energy source.

What are you talking about?

That thing has to have melted away to nothing in that lava.

Not necessarily.

The crystals are almost indestructible.

They don't liquefy from heat.

They liquefy from sonic vibrations.

Well, if it's down there,

let's get it back up where it can do some good.

Yeah, Donnie. You're on a roll today.

Any more bright ideas? We're gonna need one.

Donatello: Well, we could try to use the crystal cable

from the old underground tram,

secure one end to the tram tower

and the other end around a sturdy rock ledge,

thus rigging a giant-sized variation

of the old block and tackle.

The ledge should provide us

with a good angle for optimum leverage.

Then I'll take the Turtle Tunneler down into the lava

to hook the cable to the crystal moon.

We can use the explosive geodes Sydney discovered

to dislodge the tram tower from its foundation

and topple it over.

We'll be cutting it close,

but it just might work.

Just one question.

Who came up with this plan,

Wackos R Us?

It is a little unorthodox,

but it'll work, I hope.

Sydney, you don't have to do this.

Yes, I do. I'm the only one

who knows where the crystal moon went down.

Engaging infrared scanner.

Let's do this quickly.

I don't know how long the heat shields will hold.

Explosives are in place.

Now all we gotta do is sit back and wait for Donnie's signal.

( roaring )

Or we can keep busy by fighting for our lives!

Stall them, but try not to hurt them.

Hurt them? Yaah!

Come on, you big uglies!

( chitters )

Follow the leader!

There. The crystal moon.

Good. Keep an eye on the heat shields.

They're starting to go.

Thought you could use a lift, Mikey.

Heat shields are down to 50%.

Structural breach in two minutes.

We have to pick up the pace.

Almost there.

Yaah!

Unh! ( groans )

Donnie...

hurry!

I don't know how much longer we can keep this up!

Coming through!

Guys, look out!

( all grunting )

Crystal moon is nearly secure.

Heat shields are almost gone.

We've got 30 seconds before we're cooked.

I just have to lock off the cable.

( groans )

Him and his big ideas.

"Come on, guys.

"Let's go down to the underground city.

"We'll have some laughs.

We'll get eaten!"

( beeping )

Heat shields are down to 10%.

We're not gonna make it.

Steady. Steady.

Yes!

Guys, go now!

We're kind of tied up right now.

If I can just reach my--

Got it! Yaah!

Whoo-hoo!

- Yeah! - Yes!

Don, you did it!

( static buzzing )

Don?

Sydney?

Can you hear me?

Uh, they didn't--

They didn't make it.

( cheering )

- Donnie! - Right on!

- Yeah, all right! - Yeah!

Man, are we glad to see you.

This is it, guys.

Daylight again.

( gasping )

What's wrong?

I-I'd forgotten how beautiful it was.

Thank you from all of us.

We owe you our lives.

Come on. Let's go home.

Donnie, you may be a pain in the shell,

but I'm proud that you're my bro.
