[string and flute music]

[snoring]

My brothers are always making fun of me because I'm still scared of the dark.

[snoring]

[mumbling]

I can't help it!

Sometimes I think I see real spooky stuff at night,

like the boogeyman, or monsters,

or scary, skeleton-faced ghost men.

But I'm pretty sure that tonight--

[cries]

[gasps]

Ah! [beast panting]

My brothers are just as scared as me.

And whatever that red, bat-winged, floating, nasty thing is...

[hisses]

[all screaming]

...it is so not helping my fear of the dark!

[thunder crashes]

The Shredder really beat the shell out of Karai.

I-- I don't know if she'll make it.

[sigh] All we can do is wait,

and prepare for the battle to come.

Masters, we don't stand a chance against this mystic Shredder.

You should've seen him. It's impossible.

My son, you four have faced impossible odds in the past,

and like David facing Goliath, you overcame the challenge.

Ancient One, do you remember

when I brought them all to your home in Japan,

years and years ago?

[chuckles]

How could I forget? They were such a pain.

Years and years ago?

What are you talking about, sensei?

Long ago, just after my beloved Yoshi's passing away,

I took you all on a journey to Japan.

[ship horn]

Yay! Wee!

Wee! [laughing]

[fighting]

Argh!

[jokingly] Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

[gasps]

[cries]

[laughter]

[giggling] Whee!

Shh.

[orchestral music]

[Splinter] You see, after great difficulty,

I had procured Master Yoshi's ashes

and I was determined to honor his wish

that he be buried in the land of his birth,

and near the home of his sensei and adoptive father the Ancient One.

It took all of my skills as a Ninja to keep us from detection,

but we made it.

[peaceful oriental music]

[humming]

[shrieks]

Ancient One,

It is a great honor to--

Bah! Be gone, nazumi.

I have no time today for a rat-monster's mischief.

Wise one, please, I know I must look strange.

I am Splinter.

Splinter?

Splinter?

You are the rat Yoshi and Tang Shen kept as a pet? How?

It is a long and strange tale.

I have gone through changes since Master Yoshi...

since he--

Since Yoshi what?

How is my Yoshi?

I am sorry.

He has been slain.

- [gasps] - His life was taken... by the Shredder.

No, this cannot be!

No, no!

This tragedy would not be if Yoshi had heeded my wishes.

Stayed in Japan and joined the Ninja Tribunal.

As I remember, the Ninja Tribunal is to blame.

They were asked to fight the Utrom Shredder and did nothing.

Perhaps Yoshi would be alive today if the Tribunal had not been so dismissive!

Tag, you're it!

- No way! - [giggling]

Whoa.

[laughing]

[gasp]

Whoa...

Hey, guys, time out.

Look, there's a man in the bushes over there.

What do you think he's doing?

Maybe he's lost or something.

Hey, mister!

[growls]

Aah!

It's a boogeyman!

There's a ghost.

Come quick! He's a skeleton.

Quiet, please.

One at a time.

Mister Splinter, there's a scary man in that bush.

I see nothing here.

Well, he was right there.

I'm sorry.

They have had a long journey.

As have you.

And I truly appreciate your having come all this way on my behalf.

Splinter son, we all do love Yoshi very much.

Let us pay our last respects and lay him to rest next to the woman he loved.

Aah!

Huh?

[all crying in fear]

Silence.

If you scream, I will eat your souls.

[all screaming]

Huh?

Children...

It's all right, shh.

It's all right, little ones. It's all right now.

My apologizes, Ancient One. They are not used to sleeping alone just yet.

Come along, children.

I will stay with you.

[chuckles]

Kids.

[flute music]

- Bye, Ancient One. - Don't forget to write.

What are you talking about? You can't even read yet.

Oh yeah.

Well, my friends, I suppose that this is it.

Safe journey, Splinter son.

Until we meet again, Ancient One.

[gasps] Guys, look!

- [all gasp] - There it is again!

It's the ghost--

Following the Ancient One.

What are you going on about?

Master Splinter, we see a ghost, we really do.

He's like, right there!

Master Splinter, can't you see him? He's right there!

I see nothing, my sons. [sniffs]

But there is a dark scent in the air.

Come, let us see that no harm befalls the Ancient One.

[suspenseful orchestral music]

[door creaks open]

[door opens]

[click]

Dark masters,

the Ancient One has finally led me to the Ninja Tribunal monastery.

Excellent!

The amulet we have granted you will cloak your presence there.

You will remain invisible to all who encounter you.

Masters...

the four kame children resisted the amulet spell.

They were able to see me.

What if-- [scream]

You need not concern yourself with children.

They are powerless.

Find the pool of sorrow, part its waters with the amulet's energy.

Beneath it lie the master's gauntlet, helmet, and sarcophagus.

Use them to fulfill your only purpose for existence.

Resurrect the one, true Shredder!

Yes, raise our master from his long sleep,

so that he may once again

rule in limitless power over all the world.

[low strings]

We did not send for you.

Why are you here, young one?

My masters, I bring grievous news.

My adopted son, Hamato Yoshi, has been slain

by the alien bug falsely bearing the medal of the Shredder.

We know.

You...know?

It is as it must be.

If I may, masters--

Do you question our judgment?

[gasps]

No.

Never.

All is as it must be.

If there is nothing of consequence you wish to share, leave us.

We have no need of you.

[ominous music]

[all gasping]

Huh?

[nervous giggle]

What are you doing here?

The children have seen a phantom stalking you.

The same ghost that they encountered at your home.

We followed to see that you came to no harm.

[gasps]

[suspenseful music]

[hovering sound]

There it goes now!

[Ancient One] I see nothing.

Nor do I,

but there is a presence in the air.

Something is not right.

He's headed for the house over there!

The Pool of Sorrow!

The artifacts.

Curse me for a donkey's bottom!

What?

Come. We must make haste.

Hurry.

[evil gasp]

[growls]

The artifacts.

At long last, I can fulfill my mission and resurrect the Shredder.

There he is!

He's right by that glove.

The gauntlet? I still see nothing.

But his boney butt is right there.

[gasping in fear]

You will pay for your interference, little kame.

[shrieks]

[growl]

[crying in fear]

[roars]

Look out!

But we see nothing, my sons.

[roars]

[cries]

Sensei!

Mister Splinter, no!

[cries]

He's got them both!

I warned you meddlesome brats.

Watch as your masters perish!

[evil laughter]

Master!

No!

Don't hurt him!

- Get away! - Stop it you boneheaded freak.

[evil laughter]

[battle music]

What?

[moans of pain]

Well, look what I see.

Hey, nice shot, little kame.

[groaning]

Now that the playing field has been leveled, phantom.

Let's see just how scary you really are.

[effort]

[smacks]

[fighting effort]

[groan of pain]

[growling]

[grunting]

[effort]

Argh!

[growling]

[cheering]

Ancient One, look.

His magic is failing. Let's end this.

[grunting]

You are finished!

[cries]

[cheering]

[effort]

[cheering]

Yeah, go Splinter! [laughter]

You destroyed him.

You're the best.

- Way to go, dad. - Sweet shell-kickin' action.

Well done, young one.

You have crushed a bone demon.

Only with the help of Splinter son

and his young turtle ninja.

We sensed the Foot mystics would strike to retrieve the artifacts,

but knew not when. Their cunning is boundless.

We owe you thanks, rodent.

You and your kame children.

Masters, how is it that the children could see the demon,

yet we could not?

The amulet it wore blinded the wise and worldly.

Only those pure of heart, children, were immune to its powers.

[giggling]

Still, not all children would resist its magic.

These four are unique. You have to watch them for the future.

[playing]

However, at present, their knowledge of this night is a danger to them,

and to us.

Their minds must be relieved of these memories.

I suppose.

Be purged.

[all gasping]

My portal!

Wait.

Splinter, before you go,

I have something for your little ones.

Ninja masks?

[groaning]

[giggling]

[mumbling]

[electric guitar theme]

Enough foolishness.

Enter the portal.

Good-bye, little kame.

Good-bye, Splinter son.

Take care of yourselves.

Wow.

To think we've been to Japan and met the Tribunal when we were just kids.

Yes, my sons.

And even though you were very small,

you helped win a very big victory.

And we'll do it again.

We will find a way to defeat the Shredder.

All of us.

I hope you're right, masters.

I hope you're right.
