Original subtitles

Michelangelo: No, this isn't some kind of high-tech bar mitzvah,

and, no, we haven't been taken over by the Dome People, either.

It's just your basic sneak and rescue,

and those blinking skullcaps on our heads

are the only thing keeping those robo-guard dogs

from going medieval all over us.

The old guy with us, that's Stainless Steve Steel.

Believe it or not, he used to be a superhero.

We're helping him search for his missing teammates,

and I think we just found them.

To think this whole thing started out

with me trying to find a comic book,

and now I'm living one.

Although I'm not sure how much longer I'll be living.

Michelangelo: "General Genocide's

"malevolent mechanical marauders

are no match for The Justice Force."

"I'll make fast work of these lumbering tin cans,

or my name's not Zippy Lad."

"You rusted ruffians should know better

than to tangle with Joey Lastic and Metal Head."

"I feel so strange to be back with the team

"after being gone for so long.

"I just don't know if I can do this.

"Stainless Steve still keeps me at a distance.

"He only ever sees me as Battling Bernice,

"but we could be so much more.

"And even though Dr. Dome still has feelings for me,

"he'd never forgive me if he knew my secret.

"Steve, Dome, look out!

Aaah!"

"Bernice, no!"

( gasps )

"To be continued"?

Oh, man, I just gotta know

if Battling Bernice survived.

And does she end up with Stainless Steve or Dr. Dome?

( grunts )

Michelangelo...

a ninja's greatest strength is patience,

and you are quickly trying mine.

You don't understand, Sensei.

Now I'm gonna have to call every comic shop in town

to find that next issue.

I am trying to meditate,

to quiet my mind, and calm my spirit.

( engine revving )

Isn't it great, Sensei?

With all this downtime we've had lately,

I made Shell Cycles for all of us.

Want to try it out?

Another time perhaps.

- ( yelling ) - ( weapons clattering )

That's "Justice Force," issue 137. What?!

- ( engine revving ) - No, 137!

- ( weapons clattering ) - ( Cycle horn honks )

( Splinter whistles )

My sons, for the next hour,

you will practice your ninja silence, understood?

♪ Hip-hop gonna get ya... ♪

Sweet looking ride.

Hey, we should do a road trip.

- Whoa. - ( music stops )

( stick clatters )

Excellent suggestion.

Really?

I think it would be good for all of us

if you got out of the city for a bit.

I can't believe it.

No one in the city has a copy

of "Justice Force" number 137.

You should try my guy, Steve's Comics.

If the book exists, he'll have it.

Of course, he's all the way up in Northampton.

- Road trip! - Road trip!

We're in luck, guys. it's costume day.

You'll blend right in.

( entry bell rings )

So what are you supposed to be? Wait. Don't tell me,

You're one of the Fantastic Terrapin Warrior Teens.

( groans )

( motor buzzing )

Huh? ( gasps )

Hey, Casey, can you spot me some cash?

I have to get this.

Weird-looking dude, even for this room.

Sorry, friend.

"Justice Force" number 137 doesn't exist.

No way! I gotta know what happened to Battling Bernice.

She didn't make it.

What? How do you know?

I remember like it was yesterday.

She sacrificed herself to save Dr. Dome and Stainless Steve.

The Justice Force disbanded shortly after that.

Boy, this guy takes this stuff seriously.

Real as this steel saucer on my noggin.

And you're the real Stainless Steve Steel.

Mm-hmm. Huh?

And those are real Domeoids.

( groans ) Think I strained something.

( yells )

Metal Head, no!

Who could've done this?

Only one fella I know with the brainpower to run those Domeoids,

and that's old Doc Dome himself.

But wasn't he one of the Justice Force, too?

Doc Dome's always blamed the rest of us

for the demise of Battling Bernice.

It was only a matter of time

before his hatred turned to madness and revenge.

( beeping )

The Justice Force emergency signal?

Been carrying this around for almost 40 years.

I never thought I'd have to use it again.

I can't believe Dr. Dome would turn evil.

You can't ignore the facts, Mikey.

You'd be amazed at what he can ignore.

( door creaks )

Uh, Steve, you leave your door open?

( sword scrapes )

( whirs )

Aw, it's just some old dude.

Old?

Whoa!

Ow!

Watch who you're calling old, slowpoke.

Awesome! It's Zippy Lad.

You're looking well, Zip.

No, I'm not. I'm a mess just like you.

Right here, fellas. I-I just need to...

( grunts )

- stretch out is all. - ( joints crack )

( groans )

Did someone say, "Stretch"?

Zippy Lad: What's the matter, pops,

not as Joey Lastic as you used to be?

I'll retract eventually.

Just takes a little longer than it used to.

Michelangelo: Are these guys awesome or what?

It's like we're a part of history.

Yeah, ancient history.

( pattering )

Nothing like a superspeed massage

to work the kinks out of your back.

Thanks, Zippy.

I feel decades younger.

Now we need to figure out

how we're gonna stop Doc Dome.

( joints pop )

Ah, there it is.

I've been wondering,

why did Battling Bernice quit the team for a year?

She never said, but I always suspected

it had something to do with Doc Dome.

( thump )

Guys, something's on the roof.

( Domeoids jabbering )

Huh?

Here they come!

Let's kick some dome. Hyah!

( metal clanking )

Now this is more like it.

Your massage did wonders, Zippy.

Fastest hands in the west.

Speaking of which...

What the...

Hey! Let me down!

Zippy!

( groans ) Oh, no.

Zippy! Joey!

They're getting away!

Not for long.

I planted Turtle Trackers on the old guys earlier.

Just in case.

So what are we waiting for? Let's roll.

Casey: Whoa, that's one mighty big dome.

Steve: That's Doc Dome's fortress.

Leonardo: Look at all those Domeoids.

We're in luck.

Doc Dome isn't controlling them right now.

See those flashing blips in their domes?

That means they're in automated defense mode.

They'll attack anything that moves

that doesn't give off one of those signals.

Then we'll just have to give off one of those signals.

( motor buzzing )

( Domeoids jabbering )

( metal clangs )

( domes buzzing )

We look ridiculous.

We'll look even worse

if we get our heads bashed in by a hundred Domeoids.

( domes buzzing )

Metal Head!

Doc Dome will pay for this.

Now, let's not jump to conclusions.

I've read too many comic book stories

where things are never what they seem.

( grunts )

( alarm blaring )

( all yelling )

Cool! Doc Dome!

Surrender, Stainless Steve.

You and your reptile flunkies

may have succeeded in kidnapping the others,

but you won't get Dr. Dome without a fight.

You dare accuse us of your twisted scheme, Dr. Dome?

This is your lab. These are your Domeoids.

If you won't admit your treachery,

then perhaps your captives will.

( yawns )

Man, what a strange dream.

Dr. Dome. You traitor!

What?

No, he's the traitor.

Can't you see he's trying to frame me?

Impossible. Only you could've unleashed those Domeoids.

They only respond to your telepathic commands.

( groans )

I haven't used the Domeoids in years.

All that mental control

was giving me super migraines.

And isn't it convenient that you were present

for all the kidnappings,

yet you yourself were never kidnapped?

Yeah, why is that, Steve?

Guys, you--you don't really think...

You could never hide your jealousy.

You couldn't stand the fact

that Battling Bernice loved me and not you.

Are you out of your glass-encased mind?

Battling Bernice couldn't stand you.

She quit the team for a year just to get away from you.

Don't you ever say her name.

Guys, stop!

You're friends, teammates, remember?

Who saved you from the Living Volcano?

And who cured you of that creeping alien rust?

Now what do you say we work together like the Justice Force

and find out who's really behind this?

( Domeoids jabbering )

Aha, the Domeoids only glow like that

when he's mentally controlling them.

Let's put a stop to this now!

( turtles yelling )

All right, Crystal Ball,

call off your attack bots.

But I tell you I'm not controlling them.

If I was, then my domed head would be red, too.

If you're not controlling them, then who is?

Woman: I am.

( gasps )

Battling Bernice? Alive?

How's that possible?

Nobody stays dead for very long in comic books.

Look closer, Dome. What do you see?

I see the woman I love,

and just as...

young?

You should be older.

You're not Battling Bernice.

That's right.

I'm her daughter, Ananda.

You're lying.

I would've known if Bernice had a daughter.

She didn't want anyone to know.

That's why she quit the team when she did.

But you pulled her back in,

all of you,

and now I will have my revenge

on those who took my mother away from me.

( all gasping )

Not so fast, lady.

( signal whines )

Mikey! Ahh!

But how are you able to control all my robots?

I thought you would have figured that one out by now...

Daddy.

( gasps )

That's right. I inherited all of your mental powers.

I took control of your lab and your Domeoids

and abducted your teammates,

knowing everyone would blame you for the kidnappings.

Nothing would have been more satisfying to me

than watching you all destroy each other,

but now I'll just have to destroy you all myself.

You're old, and you're weak.

Everyone concentrate your attack on Ananda.

There's too many of 'em.

We can't even get close to her.

No, wait.

Don't concentrate your attack!

Split her focus in as many directions as possible.

Mikey, are you sure?

Trust me.

Too much happening at once.

I can't control it all.

( Dr. Dome groaning )

No!

Here. Let me help you, daughter.

Ananda, look at me.

No one forced your mother back into the Justice Force.

She chose this life,

and she chose to give her life to save others.

But you still have one parent who's very much alive...

and wants to be a part of your life.

I can't thank you fellas enough for your help.

This could've easily ended in tragedy,

but it looks like things will turn out okay.

Thanks to this young whippersnapper.

How'd you ever come up with such a clever strategy?

Don't you remember?

That's how you defeated the Grim Repo in issue 57

when he took possession of Dr. Dome's brain.

Well, what do you know.

Mikey's comic-book geekdom

turned out to be good for something.

Hey, Mikey.

Whoa!

An official Justice Force supersecret signal device?

Consider yourself

an honorary Justice Force member.

Awesome!

Yahoo!

Now that's a satisfying ending.
