When Baxter Stockman has been arrested, the turtles and April O'Neil go to his old workshop to take his van and re-build it and use it to find the Technodrome. The workshop is on the highest floor in its building, they first have to push the van upstairs to take it to the workshop.
Meanwhile inside the Technodrome, under New York City, Krang reminds The Shredder that Shredder once again failed to destroy the TMNT, and Krang demands a "body". Krang mentions about Dimension X, which gives Shredder an idea to get new weapons from Dimension X to destroy the turtles and Splinter. When Krang warns Shredder not to open the recently completed "Transdimensional Portal" to Dimension X for fear of what might come through, Shredder does not listen.
The turtles and April have re-built Baxter Stockman's van into the "Turtle Van". It has modern equipment to help the turtles to track Shredder and the Technodrome. As they leave the workshop, drive the van downstairs and out into the street.
Back in the Technodrome, Shredder pushes the bottoms to open the Transdimensional Portal to Dimension X. As the Transdimensional Portal opens, three teenage Neutrinos in flying cars come through, chased by a flying jeep piloted by two of Krang's Stone Warriors, General Trag and Lieutenant Granitor. Bebop and Rocksteady use their guns to fire upon the Stone Warriors. The Neutrinos blow a hole on the Technodrome and escape, but the Stone Warriors crash and the Shredder asks them if they work for Krang, and they tell him that they do so. Bebop and Rocksteady stop fire upon the Stone Warriors. The Stone Warriors countiniue to chase the Neutrinos.
When the turtles and April drive in the city, the Turtles have tracked the Technodrome. It is under the World Trade Center. Suddenly, the Neutrinos arrive through a subway station. The turtles and April believe that this has to do with Shredder, and they begin to pursue the neutrinos.
The two Stone Warriors continue to pursuit the Neutrinos inside the Technodrome and meet Krang without a body. When Krang learns that his Stone Warriors are pursing the Neutrinos, Krang blames the Shredder for the neutrinos arrival on Earth, and say that the Neutrinos are juvenile delinquents from Dimension X who hate war and love fun.
The turtles and April continue their pursuit of the Neutrinos while Shredder tell the Stone Warriors that they can use a Techno-Rover in their chase of the Neutrinos.
Meanwhile on the street of New York City, the turtles use the catapult on the Turtle Van to jump op and capture the Neutrinos and force them to go down to the streets. After talking, the turtles learn that the Neutrinos not work for the Shredder. They go to CLOWN TIME FOOD AND GAMES EMPORIUM to eat pizza and play arcade games. The Neutrinos talk about the war in Dimnesion X. April is worried about what can come from Dimension X, when the building is leveled by a missile attack from the Stone Warriors. The turtles jump inside the Turtle Van the neutrinos jump into the flying cars. The neutrinos shoot their laser guns towards Stone Warriors. Leonardo uses his katana swords from the opened car window to destroy the wheels at the Techno-Rover. This allows the turtles, April and the Neutrinos to escape before the police arrive. The Stone Warriors retreat back to the Technodrome, but first they release a "weather satellite", with one difference: while other weather satellite gives weather prognosis, this one "makes weather". Within two hours time, the "weather satellite" will create a storm that will level the city.
Back in the turtles sewer lair, the Neutrinos tell Splinter about Krang and the Stone Warriors. They say that Krang was banished from Dimension X, lost his body and is now just a brain. Splinter and the turtles conclude that this is the same brain that Michaelangelo encountered when they defeated Baxter Stockmans mousers. Splinter also ow realizes where Shredder has been getting his advanced technology: Dimension X. He fears that Krang will bring his Stone Warriors to Earth. The Neutrinos and the Turtles agree to team-up in an effort to send Krang and the Stone Warriors back to Dimension X.
Up on the streets, it's snowing in June. The Neutrinos suspect that it is the result of Krangs "weather satellite," and they, together with the turtles and April, go back to the Technodrome. When arriving in the Technodrome, they find the Transdimensional Portal. Donatello and Leonardo stay near the Transdimensional Portal and Michaelangelo, Raphael and the Neutrinos search for Krang. Before Donatello and Leonardo can figure out how to open the operate the Transdimensional Portal, Bebop, Rocksteady and some Foot robots arrive.
Meanwhile, the Stone Warriors are shooting at Michaelangelo, Raphael and the Neutrinos, who are riding in the Neutrino's flying car. The turtles later destroy the Foot robots, defeat Bebop and Rocksteady, and send the Stone Warriors back to Dimension X. The neutrinos then go home to Dimension X, but leave one of their flying cars (star mobile) to the turtles. But before the Shredder can confront Shredder, they become distracted by the effects of Krangs "weather satellite" outside/upside. When the turtles return their attention back to Shredder, he is gone. Insteady, the turtles to go back up to the surface and save the city, and decide to get their revenge on Shredder for another time.
Up on the streets, the "weather satellite" is to destroy the city. The turtles use the star mobile to fly near the "weather satellite" and try to fire upon the "weather satellite" by using the star mobile's lasers. When it does not work, Leonardo jump out of the star mobile and uses his katana swords to cut the "weather satellite" in two halves, destroying it and saving the city. The other turtles pilot the star mobile so Leonardo can land in the star mobiles seats.
Back in the Technodrome, Shredder agrees to give Krang a "body" so Krang himself can destroy the turtles. Krang agrees.
Back at the turtles' sewer Lair, April reads from a book with the story "The Tortoise and the Hare" as Donatello, Michaelangelo, and Raphael drift asleep. Leonardo enters the room, cleaning his katana sword and suggests that they need their rest, vowing to find Shredder on the morrow.
