HHidrala
Who enters the realm seeking audience with Hidrala, supreme ruler of the Daagon?
Uh, greetings, Supreme Ruler. My name is Leonardo and these are my companions.
Michelangelo
What up? [Raphael hits him]
We come bearing the sigil of the Utrom. We seek the fragment of the Back-Hole Generator that you have in your possession.
HHidrala
The Utrom entrusted the fragment to me, giving Hidrala ultimate say over it. Are you truly worthy to claim a device of such devastating power? Who among you is leader? [Leonardo steps forward] You? You are a mere child. How are you worthy?
We may be young, but we have fought huge battles, saved whole planets! And on top of everything else, we saw the destruction of our world.
We've been given a second chance to save Earth. We're gonna destroy the Black-Hole Generator.
HHidrala
Ha! It cannot be destroyed. Why do you think it was hidden away?
If you keep it, the Triceratons will find it. They'll tear your kingdom apart to get it.
HHidrala
If you desire the fragment, you must face Cthuga, an ancient beast that obeys only me. If you are indeed worthy, it will sense this and let you take it freely. If you are not, it will devour you whole.
How are we gonna take down the black-hole generator if its invulnerable to everything?
There is a way, but the entire Heart of Darkness must be destroyed. Not a single piece must remain.
What's wrong, Professor? I can sense you wanna tell us something.
My friends, I must confess something to you. Something I couldn't reveal until you got to know we better as a humanoid, uh, android.
What are you talking about, Fugi-dude?
You see, it was not the Kraang who invented the Black-Hole generator. It was...I who created it.
RMRaph, Mikey, Casey, and April
What!?
Michelangelo
It doesn't make sense!
I originally developed the black-hole generator as an energy source. But when Kraang Sub-Prime offered a huge price to buy it, I gave in. I was greedy. I didn't care what they wanted to use it for. It was all about money, all about financing my research. And then I realized what a terrible mistake I made. I mean, seriously, come on! They're the Kraang!
I get it now. He said the only way to destroy the Black-hole generator is a combination of fusion and dark matter.
The ship runs on dark matter and the Fugitoid is powered by a fusion core.
That's why he wanted us off the ship. He didn't want to steal it. He's...sacrificing himself.
Michelangelo
NO! Fugitoid, don't do it!!
It has to be this way, my friends. If you had known my intent, you would have tried to stop me. And for that, I thank you. Let it be known, that you are my friends. And I love you all.
I'm tired of training with kid gloves. No one's pulling punches out there. Why should we do it in here? (Pushes Leo away)
Teishi, because you are brothers and your goal here is to train.
(groans) Sensei, why do you always stick up for Leo? I'm the only one who takes training seriously. The rest of 'em are just goofing off all the time.
(Raph throws a ninja star at Donnie's juice container)
(mimics) "No one appreciates me." Back on the "Everyone loves Leo" routine? Get some new material, you big baby.
Raph That's it! If you guys don't want to take this as seriously as I do, then I quit! I'm done! Through! Adios!
(Raph storms out of the lair)
How many times has he quit the team now?
You have a brilliant mind, Donatello. Yet you see a fire and try to put it out with gasoline. You are growing up, my sons, and you must become more mature. One day I will not be around to remind you of your foibles.
Michelangelo
Is foible that dangly thing that hangs at the back of my throat?
Foible means "weakness of character," shell brain!
Master, you've made it through the worst of the worst. And we're never gonna let-
Everything isn't permanent, Leonardo. You cannot expect anything to last forever, even...family.
Join me, my sons. For tonight I have something special to share with you.
Young Michelangelo
Ooh. Presents, Sensei?
I wanna know more about Japan, Master Splinter.
Not tonight, Leonardo. I have told you before of how we all came to be together. But I have not told you everything. After finding you in a pet store one afternoon I bumped into a mysterious stranger. I followed him, only to have my curiosity...undermined. In the struggle that followed we were all exposed to a strange substance...changing us forever, turning us into very unique beings. Our journey together has not been an easy one. But it could not have happened without fate, courage, and great purpose. The world we live in is very dangerous. We have many enemies in the city above. My duty is to teach you all I know. One day, you will need to choose your own destiny. But tonight, I want to tell you the rest of our story.
