oh, my shoulder.

My spleen.

This place needed a skylight.

This is why we need jetpacks.

- okay, any more bright ideas?

- How about this?

When this is over,

I'm totally calling the architect.

Wait a minute. How did something

that big just disappear? It doesn't-

Dude, it's the cops.

Raph. Raph!

oh, yeah. The turtles

are back, dudes.

I give us a 10 for style,

an eight for skill...

...and a two for stealth.

What seems to be the problem?

The problem is that we were hired

to merely patrol the city...

...and report anything

strange to you.

You never said anything

about monsters.

Now, I'm sorry that your illustrious

group have been reduced to hired guns...

...but I believe we

made a deal, Karai.

And I expect you to honor it.

You do understand honor,

don't you?

So how did we fare?

My, my, my. And what

is your name?

Were there any problems, general?

None, my lord.

Then show these fools

how a true warrior acts.

Keep them on schedule

in completing their task.

We do not need any help.

Nevertheless, Karai, I trust

my family more than I trust you.

You may be the eyes and ears,

but they are the muscle.

They will help you gather the

remaining 12 of these abominations...

...so we can finally see

our birthrights fulfilled.

It's going to be quite a party.

Dudes, did anyone get the license plate

of that thing that hit us last night?

My head.

okay, that was just weird. I mean,

first the Foot, then that hideous monster.

Yeah. It looked like your mom, dude.

Yeah, that would make her

your mom too, doofus.

Yeah, whatever.

Keep laughing.

Last night was an embarrassment.

I'll tell you what's embarrassing.

You can't follow a single order.

oh, how cute.

You've been back for five minutes...

...and now you're schooling us

on your master plan?

okay, so this is my fault now,

huh, Raph?

I'm the only one

that has to be responsible?

Hey, you're the trained

master, not me.

Dudes, can it.

Here comes Splinter.

Good morning, my sons.

- Good morning, sensei.

- Sup?

Every ninja's day should start

with a healthy breakfast.

It fills me with pride

to see you boys together again.

If anyone needs me,

I'll be watching my stories.

- Hothead.

- Splinter Jr.

Cody is going to break up

with Donna. I just know it.

We interrupt the Gilmore Girls

for this special news report.

Monsters loose in the city?

Strange reports are coming in

about an incident...

...that sounds like something

out of science fiction.

Boys!

Leonardo,

I am most disappointed in you.

You are the eldest

of your brothers.

I was counting on you to bring

order to the chaos of this family.

This is why I have forbidden

any surface activity.

We cannot return to the surface

to fight evil...

...if we continue

to fight each other.

But Master Splinter,

how can I be expected to do so-

There are no excuses when you

are the leader, my student.

We have to go out and find

who's responsible for this.

There ain't no other solution.

Save the brute-vigilante junk

for that Nightwatchman.

- Nightwatcher.

- Nightwatcher.

Yeah, whatever.

I'm going out.

Witnesses say

there are holes in the floors...

...as if something or someone had just

blasted straight down through them...

...leaving authorities

scratching their heads.

Well, at least some people

care about justice these days.

Hey, Casey.

- Raph?

- Meet me on the roof, okay?

What is it?

The roof. You know what

the roof is, don't you?

Pushy sidekick.

We've gotten this image

in from an amateur cameraman...

...and I do stress "amateur. "

Casey, come look at this.

Be safe.

What's this all about, Raph?

We got bigger things to worry

about than criminals.

Like what?

Come on.

I think we lost it.

It's gotta be around

here somewhere.

I don't think so.

What's going on, Raph?

Did I mention

we ran into a monster last night?

No, you kind of failed to tell me

about that one, buddy.

You do know I only have

a wooden bat, don't you?

The Foot? I thought

they were history.

And now we got walking statues?

You got a plan for those?

Yeah. Hey, those are

a first for me too.

And who knows?

These guys might be friendly.

Friendly.

Wait a second. Those statues look-

Witnesses.

Watch out.

I don't feel so good.

That can't be good.

That's just rude.

Hey, wait up.

- Raph?

- Come here.

- What, you never heard of smoke pellets?

- Warn me next time.

I got allergies.

Come on.

That's the second mask this week.

They'll never find us in here.

Stay with me, now.

We'll be out of here soon.

No.

And I thought Girl Scouts

were pushy.

Some people just

can't take a hint.

This is the police. You on the roof,

put your hands behind your...

What is that? Tommy,

you see this?

Yeah, you better run.

I gotta hand it to you, Raph...

...you sure know how

to show a lady a good time.

Raph?

oh, no. I gotta get you

someplace safe, pal.

My compliments to the chef.

Anyone for dessert?

- No.

- Yes.

Cowabunga Carl Party Services.

Cowabunga, dude.

- Raph's hurt. You need to get over here.

- Slow down, April.

- What happened to Raph?

- I don't know. He's unconscious.

We'll be right there.

Leo. You came back.

Leo.

Sorry the reunion

isn't under better circumstances.

Nice pad, kids.

oh, hey, Raph.

Well, his vital signs

seem to be okay.

Pupil dilation is normal.

Some sort of stone.

Probably obsidian, I think.

Well, is he gonna be all right?

You're still here?

Go back to your jungle.

Well, at least

his personality's still intact.

And there's an engraving on it.

Looks South American.

That's your department, April.

Would it help if I told you that those

statues you collected for Winters...

...were shooting these things

at me and Raph?

"The legend of Yoatl. "

It can't be.

It was just a myth...

...a scary story the locals

told kids around a campfire.

Whoa, what are you talking about?

They say 3000 years ago,

some great warrior...

...actually found a portal

to another dimension.

And when the portal opened...

...the energy from it

gave the warrior eternal life.

But it also turned his

generals to stone.

What if this warrior

just kept living forever?

He would spend

the rest of his days in regret...

...spending all of his riches

and all of his power...

...to find a way

to revive his stone generals.

Maybe, just maybe...

...he's built a new empire.

But, hey, like I said,

it's just a myth.

If you ask me, guys, this has

Winters' name written all over it.

- How do you figure that, Donnie?

- Yeah.

Because this has Winters' name

written all over it.

Now I know who to thank

for this shot in the arm.

So where do we find this guy

and his stone jokers?

We're not going

until we get Splinter's blessing.

You're gonna quote a rulebook to me

that you ain't been following for a year?

If you got something you wanna

get off your shell, now's the time.

But I'm not gonna stand here and

debate Splinter's orders with you.
