Leonardo: The Ninja Tribunal calls me Leonardo Splinter-san

and I feel honored that they have chosen me as one of their Acolytes.

But so far, it's been a lot of work...

( growling )

...for very little payoff.

For what seems like an eternity,

we've trained with the Ninja Tribunal.

Learning their disciplines,

learning to fight with our minds and spirits

so we can help prevent the return of a great evil,

the original demon Shredder.

( grunts )

My brothers, even my fellow Acolytes,

have all been mastering their lessons.

They've all been granted incredible weapons.

I haven't been so lucky.

Of course, I keep hoping that all of this will get better.

But, really, that might be hoping for a little too much.

Strength of body when combined with strength

of mind and spirit, can move mountains.

Alone, however,

the body shatters against rock like a brittle twig.

Yeah, but paper beats rock and rock beats scissors, right?

Of course, scissors beats paper and paper beats, uh...

Whoa!

Whoa... Isn't she dreamy?

Chikara-Shisho?

( grunts )

Sure. Dreamy like a Panzer tank.

Oh, I don't know.

Give her a shell, add a touch of green,

you might have something.

Michelangelo! Son of Splinter!

Busted.

Stand!

Now strike me with all of your strength!

Um, this is gonna end in me getting my shell kicked, isn't it?

Ah!

The body alone shatters against rock.

( grunts )

Again!

( growls )

Hyah!

Oh!

Ow.

Nice work, Mikey.

I think you've got her on the ropes.

( laughs )

Stand, Acolytes!

Prepare!

These Stone oni are powerful and near impervious.

To defeat them will take more than mere muscle.

It is time to see if you can use what I have taught you.

Focus on your inner strength!

You ready to shatter some mountains, Banrai?

I said inner strength!

No weapons.

Huh? You gotta be kidding me!

Any ideas?

Oh, yeah.

It's shell-kicking time!

( grunts )

Coming about, Joi!

Duck!

Uh-oh!

Okay, I'm focusing, focusing...

Hyah!

Ow!

But I was focusing!

Come on! Come on!

Break!

( grunts )

Heh.

I... I... Wow!

I just thought it through and...

Wow!

( grunts )

Hold!

The lesson ends!

Raphael, Tora Yoshida,

Donatello, Joi Reynard.

You have all done well.

The rest of you,

your focus and discipline are poor.

You will do well to meditate on your utter failure here!

Hey! Don't I at least get a gold star for good effort?

I stayed conscious!

Uh, how did I do? Was Chikara impressed?

You did great, Adam.

Yeah, Chikara's probably gonna ask you out now.

Sweet.

Hmm.

Ahem.

Leonardo? Michelangelo?

Do not let Chikara-Shisho's beauty

or lack of yelling deceive you.

She is one of the harshest of the Shisho.

Ancient One, I'm not sure the Tribunal

is happy with my progress.

Yeah, Chikara wanted to dropkick me off that mountain!

The Ninja Tribunal would not waste their time

on students who were not worthy.

You are both doing well.

You, Leonardo, they are hardest on

for in you, they see much potential.

They expect you to rise to their challenge, as do I.

Thank you, Ancient One.

Yeah. I wish you were training us instead of the Tribunal.

And who do you think trained me, Michelangelo?

No! Not again!

Not again!

( horse neighs )

( laughing )

No!

No!

Night after night, the same vision!

Master Yoshi, please tell me how to protect my sons

from this coming darkness.

( panting )

Chasing Hisomi isn't exactly boosting my morale!

I'm getting tired of failing!

Ah, my friend, so am I.

What are you talking about, Faraji?

You're doing great.

You were given one of the Fangs of the Dragon.

You're the most skilled warrior here.

Ah, but I am not.

I failed Chikara-Shisho's lesson.

As I am failing Hisomi-Shisho's right now.

You're kidding!

You're gonna put missiles in it?

That's great!

Oh, I know. It'll have armor plating.

A communications center and be fully remote accessible.

Man, that's awesome!

You could make the trunk pop open

and have a rocket engine back there.

You should call it...

Turtle Taxi.

Good idea!

Um, we're not gonna catch Hisomi today, are we?

I don't see that happening.

Move it or lose it, slowpokes!

How does he do it?

Okay, Tora, you and me!

We're gonna figure this out and we're gonna catch him!

Perhaps if you ran as fast as you talk, you would do better!

No!

We just have to remember what Hisomi said about stealth and movement.

Well, what he mimed about them anyway.

See it happen!

Picture myself there!

And Chikara said, if I focus my chi...

Woo-hoo!

Michelangelo?

( laughs )

I am never gonna hear the end of this!

While you walk on this earth,

your spirit walks in another world.

What you see with your eyes is only one plane of existence.

What you feel with your heart and chi,

that is the world of the spirit.

To truly combat the coming evil,

you must be able to manifest your spirit as an avatar.

A what now?

The spirit avatar taps into a warrior's deepest soul,

manifesting a true totem of each warrior's inner being.

Each of the members of the Ninja Tribunal manifest

a dragon, the ancient symbol for wisdom and strength.

The Dragon is a very rare avatar.

The Dragon.

Let us see what lies hidden in your hearts, young warriors.

Meditate on your inner spirit.

Make it manifest.

Oh, more meditation! Wonderful!

Ah! Who invented this pose?

I think I'd meditate better lying down!

( grunts )

Quiet your mind to unleash your spirit!

Observe Tora-Yoshida.

His avatar manifests.

( growls )

The Wolf represents ferocity and speed.

Behold Adam's avatar.

The Bear represents strength.

Well done, Joi Reynard.

The Hawk represents fearlessness.

and Faraji Ngala manifests the Lion.

Symbol of honor and courage.

Well, I'm feeling like a dud.

With concentration and training,

you will soon be able to meld

your worldly form with your spirit totem.

You will actually become your...

( gasps )

A Dragon!

Inconceivable for one so young!

It seems we were right about you.

- All right! - Yeah!

There is more to you and your brothers

than at first seems apparent to the eye.

Kon, ready the Acolytes!

The second artifact has been found!

Heed me well, Acolytes!

It is of the utmost importance that you secure

this second artifact.

If it is returned safely here to the Lap of the Gods,

the Shredder's minions will be unable to resurrect their master.

But be warned.

I sense that an ever-shifting evil awaits you.

Raphael: Great. No pressure or nothing!

Ah, there, the passageway to the second artifact.

We must secure it at any cost.

But beware.

This is the warren of the Nezumi.

Nezumi? A rat?

We have to fight rats?

Dude, your sensei is a Nezumi.

The Nezumi is a shape-changing Tengu with a taste for living flesh.

So, remember your training!

Leonardo: There! Is that the second artifact?

Michelangelo: What gave it away?

The freaky altar or the mountain of skulls?

( squeaking )

This is a trap!

Trap? I hate traps!

( growling )

Hyah!

( squealing )

We should bring Hisomi with us more often!

Rise again, my brothers!

Engulf the Tribunal in our darkness!

Acolytes, attack!

( shouting )

Byakko, go!

I'm a mean, green beat-down machine!

It's shell-kicking time!

Banrai!

Inazuma, attack!

I love being a turtle!

( grunts )

Faraji!

( growls )

Now you become food!

The Master will reward me!

I don't think so, Tengu.

( screaming )

( gasps )

Raphael: Is that...?

Donatello: The Shredder's gauntlet! The second artifact!

You have done well.

Perhaps there is hope yet.

All is ready.

Perfect!

Soon the Master will be free!
