You know, if there's one thing I've learned

being a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle,

it's to always expect the unexpected.

But with all of our training and all of our hard work,

I'd like to think that we're ready for anything.

Hyah!

But sometimes,

the unexpected is just a little too unexpected.

No. No.

I don't think so.

It just doesn't speak to me.

A little to the right.

No, no, my other right.

I'll give you another right, Mikey.

A right hook.

Guys, let me get up and help.

This is just silly.

No, you stay right there and rest.

But I have rested.

I've been resting for weeks.

I rested while you guys fixed up the lair.

I rested while you moved furniture.

Heck, I'm resting on the furniture you're moving.

I'm done resting.

It's just that we don't want to take any chances of a relapse.

Yeah, no offense, Donnie,

but you weren't too much fun when you were sick.

Fun? He was a monster.

an absolutely horrible, drooling,

big, nasty-back monster!

You tried to eat my leg!

I'm...I'm sorry, Mikey.

Guys, I don't remember any of that.

It's okay, Donnie.

Come to think of it,

we have been cooped up in here for a long time.

Who's up for a little late night entertainment?

( all whooping and laughing )

Got ya!

Huh?

( laughs ) Uh!

Man, it feels good to be out of the lair.

Are we sure Donnie's all better?

See the full moon, Donnie?

Do you feel the monster inside?

The monster taking control?

( evil laugh )

Oh, no. I'm...I'm changing,

Roar! ( laughs )

Aah! Help me! Help me!

Roar! Roar!

He's trying to eat my leg again! Aah!

Pardon this intrusion, Splinter-san.

Ancient One, you have come all this way?

I am afraid so.

Then it has begun again.

Where are they? Where are your sons?

Out taking exercise.

No! Oh, no!

I am too late.

Too late!

( all laughing and cheering )

( all laugh )

Man, it really feels good to be out and about again.

- Huh? - Huh?

Now, maybe it's just me,

but I think these guys plan to stick it to us.

What do we do now?

Bow, I guess.

Maybe we should've run instead.

Who are these bozos?

They don't look like The Foot.

Huh?

Huh?

They sure don't fight like Foot either.

Huh?

So, you got some moves?

Huh? Huh?

Show off!

Oh!

What is up with these jokers?

Talk about your rock-hard abs.

It's their rock-hard kicks I'm worried about. ( groans )

Huh?

They're made of wood.

That explains their lack of weak spots.

Ow! And why my hand hurts when I punch them.

( groans )

Raph, no!

Oh, man.

Where are we?

Wherever we are...

we're locked in.

Huh?

Or not.

Okay.

More freaky weirdness, anyone?

Uh, guys, our weapons don't usually

float in the air by themselves, do they?

This just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

Weird or not, I'm getting my gear.

Um, if we have all our weapons,

then whose weapons are those?

Maybe theirs?

Are you our abductors?

Hey, Goldilocks, we don't have a clue

as to what you're talking about.

Who sent you?

We weren't sent by anybody.

Some wooden mannequin guys with tonfa

knocked the snot out of us and we woke up here.

Who are you?

What are you?

That's kind of a long story.

We're ninjas.

And turtles.

Ninja Turtles.

This is Raphael.

Hmm.

Michelangelo.

Over here.

Donatello.

And I'm Leonardo.

Greetings, Leonardo. I am Joi.

Adam.

Faraji.

Tora.

We too were abducted.

Well, we're going to find out what's going on here.

You can follow us if you like.

Hmm. This is different.

Looks like there are no more doors.

I'll say. The door we came in through, it's gone.

Okay, I am not enjoying

this whole haunted mansion motif.

I want a door, and I want it now! Please?

( high pitched hum )

This is like some kind of funhouse.

Yeah, but without any of the fun.

Well, let's find out who's running this freak show

and lodge a complaint.

Hey, Leo, check it out.

Stay on your guard. Be ready.

Bow when you enter this sanctuary.

What the shell?

Four Shredders?

This doesn't look good.

Yeah. We could barely handle one Shredder.

Stand your ground. Be prepared.

Silence!

We are the Ninja Tribunal. Prepare to be judged.

A great evil is coming,

darkness beyond your worst imaginings.

We require warriors to combat it,

and as pathetic as you are,

you eight are our best hope.

You will battle each other

and only the most worthy will survive.

Warriors left standing will become our acolytes

to aid us in our battle with the coming darkness.

You expect us to fight each other?

Forget it, bucket-heads.

You will fight or you will be destroyed.

Yes. See, Mokusai No Bushi were here.

Hmm.

And here.

Signs of a struggle.

( sniffs )

The Ninja Tribunal has taken my sons!

Ancient One, you must take me to the Tribunal.

You know that what you ask is simply not permitted.

Permitted or not, I will protect my sons!

Fight!

Be judged.

Prove your worth.

The Ninja Tribunal commands it.

If you do not fight, others will suffer.

The world will suffer.

Those that you care about...

Like your Aunt in Kumamoto, Joi.

Or your brother in Miami, Adam.

Huh?

Or the Rat that you four call your father.

- Huh? - Huh?

If you'll not fight to save yourselves,

fight to save your loved ones.

This is crazy.

Yes, I have no wish to fight you.

Yeah, me neither.

I thought you guys seemed all right,

for giant turtles and all.

To save our families, we have no choice.

There's always a choice.

Yeah, instead of fighting each other,

we ought to be fighting those four goons.

I agree.

I will not be judged by the likes of them.

Then if we're all agreed, let's kick some shell.

- Hyah! - Aah!

Not these guys again.

Don't know about you, Mikey, but I welcome the rematch.

I got a score to settle with these walking tree trunks.

Huh! Hyah!

Huh?

Raphael, give me a hand.

- Joi, no! - Oh!

Ha ha! Huh?

Tora!

Hold!

So this is your choice?

You would attack this Tribunal

before you would each other?

Yes.

Without question.

You have been judged.

All eight of you have passed the first trial.

The first of many.

You are now acolytes of the Ninja Tribunal,

to be trained in the most secret techniques

of Ninjitsu art.

A great honor has been bestowed upon you.

But know this: the training will be hard.

The weak will be separated from the strong,

and the battle you are being prepared for

will be fought against an enemy

unlike anything you have ever faced before.

- Huh? - Huh?

Take this time

to reflect on all you have seen and heard thus far.

Okay.

I am not liking this. Not liking this one bit.

I'm with you, Raph.

Whoa!

What is this place?

Let's find out.

- Whoa! - Wow!

We're...we're...

In the middle of the ocean.

We've been shanghaied!

Oh, this is messed up!

I say we find a way off this tub

and forget we were ever here!

What makes you think the Tribunal

would allow us to escape?

They are very powerful.

What do you think, Leo?

I don't know what to think.

They say there's a great evil coming.

Maybe we should--

Hey, guys, land ho!

That sure as shell ain't New York.

Where are we?

My friends, welcome to Japan.
