[edit] Voice-Over Introduction

[edit] Part One

Leonardo: The roar of the crowds, the smell of the greasepaint, the death defying thrill of the high-wire. Trust me, this is no circus and if you think it's tough for a Turtle to walk a tightrope, try four. If we fall, we're pavement paint, but if we make it, we just may finally find our missing Master Splinter. We also might learn the answer to a secret that's plagued us our entire lives—how and why we became Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

[edit] Part Two

Raphael: Here's what happened so far, try and keep up. After we wiped the floor with Shredder and his Foot fungus, we realized someone had taken Master Splinter. I tell you, we turned this city upside down looking for him, but he was nowhere. Then Donny had a thought.

Donatello: What about the Guardians? If you think about it, right after Splinter disappeared, they disappeared.

Raphael: So we lured one of the Guardians into a conversation.

Raphael: Our Master's missing, we intend to find him.

Raphael: We knew the guy had answers, but he wouldn't talk, so we planted a Turtle tracker on him. We shadowed him into this plain-looking building and knew we'd need help getting inside. We got Casey to create a diversion by going nutso in the lobby.

Casey Jones: Now I wanna see the head geek or I'm gonna take this place apart!

Raphael: He was a natural choice. And this allowed April to sneak into the security control room to deactivate the alarm sensors. She found us the only way in way up on the ninth floor.

Donatello: Some kind of hologram.

Raphael: But as usual, nothing ever goes as planned.

Donatello: Mikey wait.

Michelangelo: Whoa...uh oh. Yow!

Donatello: Mikey...

Donatello/Michelangelo: Ahhh!
