Synopsis:
Intro: Shredder
narrates as we view the recent unfolding of his plans, how he plans
to travel through space to conquer the Utroms and the rest of the galaxy.
The villain's spaceship is in the silo and begins to launch as the Turtles
and Master Splinter jump for an open bay door.
Act 1: Open as
Shredder’s ship is taking off. Splinter and three of the Turtles
jump and grab onto Donatello's legs (he was already hanging from the
open bay door, having been separated from his family by a missile that
destroyed the bridge they were all on). The Turtles and Splinter climb
their self-made "ladder" and board the vessel. Don pulls himself
up with Professor Honeycutt (downloaded onto the brainy Turtle's Tech-Tablet)
attached to his belt. As our heroes enter the ship, Chaplin monitors
them via the craft's security systems and alerts Shredder (who has been
carried inside by Karai and is now being garbed in a new, far more powerful
exo-suit) of their presence.
Still on the ground,
people are running for their lives as the mansion is destroyed by the
launching spacecraft. Leatherhead, April and Casey all get away, as
does an angry Bishop. Bishop orders his men to destroy the Shredder's
ship with missiles.
As the Turtles,
Splinter, and Honeycutt make their way to the ship’s power core,
Shredder and Karai prepare for battle. It seems Bishop’s missiles
are useless as the ship simply destroys them with lasers upon their
approach. However, Baxter Stockman constructed the defense system, and
as more missiles, Chaplin is dismayed to discover that Stockman has
disabled the security net, allowing the missile barrage to hit the ship.
We see Stockman with Bishop - the secret agent is pleased with his new
partner's work.
Act 2: As the spacecraft
shakes from missile impacts, Chaplin franticly tries to regain control
of its defense systems. The Turtles make their way to the ship's power
core, where Honeycutt informs them he’ll need time to gain access
to the controls. Don plugs the Tech-Tablet into the ship's computer
systems and the Professor gets to work. Unfortunately, just as Honeycutt
begins, Shredder and Karai arrive.
As the groups battle,
it appears that Shredder is unstoppable in his giant new exo-suit. Don
and Mike attempt to use some cut power lines to electrocute Shredder,
but the villain takes the cables from the Turtles and uses them to defeat
Master Splinter. Leonardo and Karai face off; Leo gains the upper hand
and she falls over the side of a rail. Leonardo heroically saves her
life, but Karai comments that Leonardo is too good for his own good
and renews her attack. Leo is thrown towards Shredder, who knocks the
mutant backwards into Karai’s sword, impaling him! Leonardo falls
to the ground as Raphael cries out.
Act 3: As Shredder
turns his attention to the other Turtles, more missiles hit the spaceship.
Chaplin can’t gain control of the defense controls, and the hull
begins to smolder with fresh missile holes. It seems everyone on board
will be cooked as the last two missiles speed towards them. As the torpedoes
approach, they run out of fuel and the ship escapes!
Shredder has defeated
Splinter and the Turtles and has stopped Honeycutt from hacking into
his ship. As the villain is about to finish off Leonardo, Karai intervenes
and prevents her master from delivering the finishing blow. The woman
states that Shredder has won and asks him to spare the Turtles' lives.
Shredder is enraged at her insubordination and he attacks her, sending
her flying. Shredder closes in on Karai, but before he can do anything
to her, a warhead launched from a nearby satellite hits the ship. The
impact from the explosion sends both Shredder and Karai flailing through
the entrance and the door slams down, locking them out of the power
core room. Shredder orders Chaplin to open the door, and is informed
that this will take a few minutes.
The Turtles and
Splinter realize that they can’t defeat the Shredder and decide
to use their last moments to overload the ships power core and blow
it up. Donatello plugs Honeycutt back into the ship's systems, and the
Professor dejectedly begins the overload. Chaplin gets the door back
open and Shredder runs back inside, but he's too late to prevent the
power core from overloading.
Act 4: As the ship
begins to explode, time freezes and four Utroms (including Mortu) appear.
The Utroms have placed a stasis field around the entire ship, freezing
time. The helpful aliens transport everyone off the ship just before
the stasis field collapses. With that, Shredder's ship explodes. On
Earth, Bishop and Stockman think they have won and the Shredder has
been killed.
Later, on the Utrom
homeworld inside a courtroom, the Turtles, Splinter, and Honeycutt (in
a new body) watch a group of seven Utrom judges. They hear testimony
from several alien races regarding the heinous crimes of the Shredder,
also known as Ch'rell, Torrinon, Kako Naso, Duke Acureds and Oroku Saki.
Upon hearing the testimony, the judges find Shredder guilty of all charges.
Shredder is immediately transported to his prison. Karai and Chaplin
are sent back to Earth to be handed over to the proper authorities.
With that, the Turtles and others are thanked for their help.
Cut to an icy wasteland
where the Shredder Utrom stands, crying out in rage and despair. The
camera pulls away and we discover that his prison is a frozen asteroid,
part of belt that forms an orbiting ring around an alien planet.
