...Mutagen that turned us all into what we are now.
What!? Why would you do that!?
'Cause if you mutate a mutant, you get a super mutant!
Or a pile of goo on the sidewalk.
Either way, it's an improvement.
Guys, this is huge. Whoever kidnapped those people are somehow connected to what happened to us 15 years ago.
[in disbelief] How many times have I told you not to skateboard in the lair?!
[missing the point] None, Sensei.
[annoyed] I shouldn't have to tell you!
(As they get up) You're right, Sensei. We definitely should have known better—
(The Turtles glare at Mikey before bowing their heads in disappointment)
(Disappointed) —and we deserve to be punished. Eh, some.
(Sternly gets up in Leo's face while stroking his thin beard) And what do you think would be a fitting punishment?
(Nervous, looking at his brothers, who whistle innocently) Well, uh, we… we should clean up our mess? [Splinter folds his arms] And then.... think about what we did.
TTurtles
(Muttering quickly together) Yeah. Sounds about right. We were wrong. Wouldn't want to do too much. No worries.
(Testing them) What about being grounded for a week?
(Hesitant) Oh, I'm not sure that's-
(Quickly trying to escape it) I'm cool with the thinking.
(Anxious) Really, that's not necessary.
(Dismissive) Maybe next time.
(Angry) YOU'RE GROUNDED FOR A WEEK!
(The Turtles groan in defeat as the skateboard ramp collapses behind them, leaving an even bigger mess.)
They saw something, but they don't know what.
JJoan
[on TV] And that "something" seemed to be four human-sized mutant turtles.
At least she doesn't know they're ninjas.
JJoan
[on TV] And they appeared to be carrying ninja weapons.
Or that they're named after artists?
JJoan
[on TV] Furthermore, they may also be…
[turns off the TV, annoyed] Oh, doesn't she ever shut up?
[angrily, turns on his sons] How could you all be so careless!? Secrecy is the most important rule of the ninja, and you have broken it! You four are forbidden from leaving the lair!
[shocked, enraged] What!? You can't hold that sloppy escape against us! We got slimed with toxic puke!
But, Sensei, if that pile of muck took us down, you know he's dangerous.
Which means we need to be out there looking for him.
[angrily] No! Until I decide I can trust you to watch yourselves, you will remain here, grounded! [storms off as The Turtles disappointed at this.]
Oh, yeah. Crognard marathon.
[Throws his staff at the television set] And no TV!
(After their beloved sensei and father figure is ruthlessly murdered by Shredder)
April (clutches her head and groans): AGHHH!!!
(Unleashes a pale yellow wave of pure psionic energy that knocks Shredder back, out of sheer rage and grief)
Shredder, what have you done!?
Hamato Yoshi is finished! The Earth can be destroyed for all I care! I have finally won!
