Chapter 1
Episode 1: Fathers and Sons
(It's night time. A Japanese style home sits in what looks like a grove of cherry trees. The yard is decorated with stone statues, a snow covered mountain sits in the background. Inside the house, upstairs. A large candle light room is shown, a yin and yang banner hangs on the far wall. Columns are on the left side. Lying on the floor, four cots are occupied by four familiar turtle tots. Lori is flat on her stomach, snoring. Luna lays on her back, sucking her thumb. Lynn mumbles in her sleep. On the last cot, Luan lies awake, holding her blanket close. She looks around worriedly, obviously scared of something despite the candle light.)
Young Luan: (narrating) My older sisters are always teasing me, cause I'm still scared of the dark. I can't help it! Sometimes I think I see real spooky stuff at night…
(On the wall opposite her, a red glow appears. Luan looks at it terrified.)
Young Luan: ..like the Boogieman or monsters…or scary , skeleton-faced Ghost men!
(As she says this a creature that fits the last description phased out off the wall. It looks like a skeletal version of Chandler, with a red aura around him, wearing a tattered black and red cloak and a red, glowing amulet around his neck. Luan sits up and cries in terror, waking her sisters. The faces also grow fearful when they notice the entity, obviously seeing it as well.)
Young Luan: But tonight I'm pretty sure my sister's are just as scared as me! And whatever that red, bat-winged, floating nasty thing is. It's so not helping my fear of the dark!
(The four girl-turtle hybrids crawl to be next to each other. They hug and whimper in fear as the terrifying creature advanced menacingly on them.)
…
( The scene zooms away from the outline of the city. The letters TMNL are shown overlooking the city as an announcing voice begins singing the theme song.)
Announcing voice: (singing) Teenage Mutant Ninja Louds!
Turtles counted off! 1! 2! 3! 4! Turtles! Mutant chain reaction!
Turtles! Living underground! Turtles! Never let us down!
Turtles! Ninjitsu action! Turtles! It's a shell of a town!
Turtles counted off!
1! Lorinardo's always in control!
2! The wise girl is Luanangelo!
3! Lunatello she's the brains of the bunch!
4! Count on Lynnpheal to throw the first punch!
I love being a! I love being a! I love being a turtle!
Turtles counted off! 1! 2! 3! 4! Turtles! There's no one better! Turtles!
Female voice: Watch out for Shredder!
Turtles! Their like no others! Turtles!
Those teenage sisters!
1! 2! 3! 4! 1! 2! 3! 4! Teenage Mutant Ninja Louds!
(The Turtles land on a roof. They draw their weapons and charge as the title echoes. A large friendly title appears on a green background with the Loud turtles as silhouettes stand behind it, posing.)
Announcing voice: Teenage Mutant Ninja Louds!
…...
(A shot of the moon in a lightning sky is shown. A second title appears.)
Fathers and Sons
(The camera pans down to a shot of the street below. Lightning flashes, a building is shown with the name being 2nd Time Around. In Ronnie Anne's apartment, Lynn and Lori stares out the window at the city. Lincoln , Pop-Pop, wearing a wide hat and a red open shirt, and Luan sit on the floor. Lincoln and Pop-Pop meditate while Luan appear to be thinking deeply. On the sofa, Carol lies injured and unconscious. Luna and Ronnie Anne are over her.)
Luna: Shredder really beat the Shell out of Carol, my people. (stammers) I…I…don't know if she'll make it.
(Pop-Pop considers this.)
Pop-Pop: All we can do is wait…and prepare for the battle to come.
(Lori walks over to them. Instead of her usual Katanas, on her back is a mystical looking sword, with a small blade coming out from the end of the hilt.)
Lori: ( kneels beside them) Masters, we don't stand a chance against this…mystic Shredder. You should have seen him. It's impossible.
Lincoln: (opens his eyes) My daughter, you four have faced impossible odds in the past. And just like David facing Goliath, you over came the challenge.
(Lincoln looks at Pop-Pop with an amused expression.)
Lincoln: Pop-Pop, do you remember when I brought them to your home in Japan? Years and years ago?
Pop-Pop: (chuckles) How could I forget? They were such a pain!
Turtles: (looks at the two masters, offended) Hey!
Luan: (confused) Wait…years and years ago?
Luna: (to Lincoln) What are you talking about, dude?
(Lincoln begins to tell the tale.)
Lincoln: Long ago , just after my beloved master, Lynn Loud Sr's passing away. I took you all on a long journey to Japan...
(Flashback to a steamer leaving the harbor of New York. The turtles are shown in the cargo hold. They appear to be around five or six years old, and don't have their trademark masks, but can still be told apart by hair color, style, voices and scale color. Lori and Luna play in a open container of straw. Luan lays on the floor, drawing on a piece of paper. Lynn walks around.)
Lori and Luna: (in the container) Whee!
(Lynn comes over to Luan and grabs the orange crayon she was using. They wrestle for it until Lynn loses her balance and slams into a small box holding the crayon.)
Lynn: Ha! Ha!
Luan: (whiny) Come on Lynn, give it back.
Lynn: (taunting) What? This?
(In front of Luan's eyes, Lynn takes the crayon in both hands and snaps it in half. Luan's eyes immediately fill with tears and she starts crying. In the container, Luna surfaces from the straw and lays on her back, and starts making straw angels. Lori comes up and throws straw in the air whimsically. This goes on until Lincoln comes out from behind a another crate.)
Lincoln: (urgent) Girls. (He shushes them and gives them a signal they recognize as lay low. It was then they heard footsteps approaching. Realizing someone is coming, Luna and Lori duck back under the straw. Lynn hides behind a crate, Luan hurries behind the straw container Lori and Luna are in and hides her face with the papers. Not a moment to soon, a security guard that looks like Sergio appears and shines a flashlight around. Seeing nothing he shrugs and continues on his way.)
(As soon as he's gone, the turtles come out of hiding. Lincoln emerges from behind his own crate, holding a white ,ornate urn.)
Lincoln: (narrating) You see, through great difficulty, I had managed to procure my Master, Lynn Loud Sr's ashes… and I was determined to honor his wish that he be buried in the land of his birth, and next to the home of his sensei and adoptive father. Pop-Pop, the ancient one…
(Time passes, the steamer pulls into harbor in Japan.)
Lincoln: It took all my skills as a ninja to keep is from detection. But we made it.
(The house from the beginning of the episode is shown. In addition to the trees and statues in the yard. There are also a large fountain and meditating pool in the back yard. Pop-Pop, wearing the same wide hat and open red shirt, but having a long, narrow , forked beard to go with his moustache. And his hair styled in a long tail. He is gathering laundry from a line, while humming softly. He takes a piece from the line , deposites it in the basket and takes another piece off. Lincoln, holding the urn, and the turtles stand behind it.)
Pop-Pop: (startled) Ah!
Lincoln: (respectful bow) Pop-Pop. It's a great honor to…
Pop-Pop: (interrupting) Back! Shoo! Begone! I have no time for a rat monsters mischief today!
(Pop-Pop turns around and begins folding the laundry in the basket.)
Lincoln: (to Pop-Pop) Wise one, please. I know I must look strange, since you saw me last. I'm Lincoln.
(Lori, Lynn and Luna decided to run off around the yard and start playing after all that time in the cargo hold. Luan stays at Lincoln's side as Pop-Pop stares at the Rat-boy hybrid in wonder.)
Pop-Pop: Lincoln? Lincoln!? You are the rat Lynn and Rita Shen kept as a pet. (about his current state) How!?
Lincoln: It's a long and strange tale, I've gone through changes…
(Behind him, the other three turtles run around chasing each other. Lincoln continues.)
Lincoln: …Since Master Lynn Loud Sr…since he…
(Lincoln becomes melancholy.)
Pop-Pop: (imploring) Since Lynn what? How is my Lynn?
Lincoln: (sad) I'm sorry. He has been slain…
(Pop-Pop's face becomes horrified.)
Lincoln:…His life was taken. (coldly) By the Shredder.
(At the name, in the background a groan is heard. Luan looks around confused.)
Pop-Pop: (disbelief) No! This can not be! (walks a short distance and falls to his knees in grief) No! No! (to Lincoln) This tragedy would not have happened if Lynn had heeded my wishes. To stay in Japan and join the tribunal!
Lincoln: (hard) As I recall, the Ninja tribunal are to blame. (scowls) They were asked to fight the Utrom Shredder and did nothing! (regretful) Perhaps Lynn Sr would still be alive today, if the Ninja tribunal hadn't been so dismissive.
(At that moment, Lynn runs up and taps Luan's shoulder.)
Lynn: Tag! Your it!
Luan: (laughing) No way Lynn!
(The turtles run around playing tag. In the shadows of the bushes the skeletal version of Chandler from earlier appears and creeps along the vegetation. He hides behind a stone decoration beside a bush. The turtles run close by, laughing. Lynn stops as she looks over and sees a skeletal hand peeking around the decoration. The other three run over.)
Lynn: (makes a T sign with her hands) Whoa, guys. Time out. (She walks closer to investigate) There's a man in the bushes over there.
(The other three look at where she is and see the hand.)
Luan: What do you think he's doing?
Luna: (shrugs) Mabye the Dudes lost or something?
Lynn: (calling) Hey Mister!
(Chandlers head is briefly seen before hiding again. Lynn stares at this as the other three exchange a confused look. Chandler suddenly lunges into view snarling. The turtles are terrified by the noise. A second later their scrambling away screaming in terror. They run to Lincoln, who still talking to Pop-Pop.)
Luan: (terrified) It's the Boogieman!
(Lynn tugs on Lincoln's sleeve.)
Lynn: There's a ghost!
Luna: He's a Skeleton!
Lori: Come quick!
Lincoln: Hold on. Quiet please. One at a time, Lori?
Lori: Master Lincoln, there's a scary man in that bush. (points to the bush in question)
(Lincoln gets up and heads over to the bush. He parts the branches and looks around suspicious, seeing nothing he turns around.)
Lincoln: (shrugs) I see nothing here.
Luan: (trembling) But he was right there!
Lincoln: (kneels to their level) I am sorry. (holds his arms open) Come here.
(The turtles eagerly pile into his calming embrace.)
Lincoln: (to Pop-Pop) They've had long journey.
(Pop-Pop is silent for a moment. He looks over at where Lincoln had placed the urn holding Lynn Sr's ashes.)
Pop-Pop: (to Lincoln, sincere) As have you, and I truly appreciate your coming all this way on my behalf. (Puts his hand on Lincoln's shoulder) Lincoln-san, we both loved Lynn Sr, very much. Let us pay our last respects and lay him to rest next to the woman he loved.
(From his spot in the branches of a cherry tree, the Skeleton Chandler watches the group. As the sun sets, six figures kneel on a hill in final respects to the man who had a lasting influence on their lives.)
(Later at night, in the candle lit room from the prologue the four turtles are lying on their cots. Lori, Lynn and Luna are sleeping soundly. But Luan still seems upset from earlier. Just like the beginning of this chapter, a red glow appears on the wall opposite Luan. Luan sits up in fright as the spectral, skeleton Chandler phases out of the wall. Luan sits up and cries in terror, waking the other three girl-turtle hybrids. As the entity approaches them menacingly, the four crawl to be beside each other. They hug each other whimpering as the skeloten ghost stops before them.)
Chandler: (shushes them)Silence, little kames …if you scream…(sadistically) I'll eat your souls!
(Lori, Lynn, Luna and Luan whimper even more in fear at this, their eyes brimming will tears. As one they all look at each other.)
(One second later.)
All turtles: (bursting through the paper door) AHHHHHHHHHH!
(Lincoln is downstairs, meditating when the sounds of screaming reaches his ears. He turns and rises to see the four running down the stairs, whimpering with tear filled eyes. Lincoln reaches the stairs and kneels down as Lori wraps her arms around him. Luna, Lynn and Luan aren't far behind. They bury their heads in his fur, shaking.)
Lynn: (terrified) Lincoln!
Lincoln: (calmly) Shhh. It's all right. All right little ones. It's all right now.
(Lincoln thinks the four just had a nightmare. He looks up as Pop-Pop enters from another room.)
Lincoln: My apologies, Pop-Pop. They aren't used to sleeping by themselves just yet. (to the turtles) Come along, girls. (comforting) I'll stay with you.
(Lincoln ushers the girls back upstairs. Though still shaken, the promise of their Sensei staying with them appears to calm them considerably. Pop-Pop watches the five mutants head upstairs.)
Pop-Pop: Hmmmph. (his face softens with a fond smile) Kids.
(Pop-Pop turns and walks back where he came from.)
(The night passes without further scares or incidents. When the sun rises Lincoln and the turtle tots prepare to leave. They all exit the gate, Pop-Pop included.)
Lori: Bye, ancient one.
Luan: Don't forget to write!
Lynn: (bewildered) What are you talking about? You can't even read yet?
Luan: (remembers) Oh yeah.
Pop-Pop: Well my friends, I guess here's where we part…
(Pop-Pop and Lincoln face each other and bow respectfully.)
Pop-Pop:…Safe journeys, Lincoln-san.
Lincoln: Till we meet again, Pop-Pop.
(Pop-Pop turns and walks down the road I the opposite direction. Lincoln and the turtles head in the other direction. They don't get far before Luna looks back and sees Chandler following after Pop-Pop! Luna instantly gets afraid.)
Luna: Dudes look! It's back!
(Lincoln, Lori, Lynn and Luan turn around swiftly. The turtles see the ghost.)
Lynn: It's the ghost!
Lori: Following the ancient one!
Lincoln: (kneeling and staring) What are you going on about?
Lori: Master Lincoln! We see a ghost! We really do!
Lynn: (points) He's like, right there!
(Lincoln stares hard in the same direction, all he can see is Pop-Pop walking away.)
Luan: (desperate) Master Lincoln! Can't you see him? He's right there!
Lincoln: I see nothing, my daughters… (Lincoln sniffs the air. His expression hardens.)
Lincoln:… But there is a dark scent in the air. (to Lori, Lynn, Luna and Luan) Come on, let's follow Pop-Pop, just to see no harm befalls him.
(Pop-Pop is out of sight by now. The five mutants head in the direction he was headed.)
(A little while later, Pop-Pop arrives at a village that appears to be situated on a tree like rock formation. The gate is a open dragon statues mouth. Behind Pop-Pop, The Chandler skeleton ghost follows at a distance. Pop-Pop stops before the door and makes a sign with his hands, the doors open. Pop-Pop heads inside, Chandler follows. Once inside Chandler slips away and observes as Pop-Pop enter a building with Jade doors. Once Pop-Pop is gone, Chandler kneels on the ground and speaks to his amulet.)
Chandler: Dark masters…
(The amulet glows bright red as five visions of armored warriors. Each held a staff. One had metal armor. Another brown, one was shiny, another blue and the last was red and on fire. Their faces were covered. A red aura surrounds them. These are the Foot mystic's.)
Chandler:… Pop-Pop the ancient one has finally lead me to the Ninja tribunal monastery.
Fire Foot mystic: (Boy Lynn's voice) Excellent! The amulet we have given you will cloak your presence there.
Metal Foot mystic: (Luke's voice) You shall remain invisible to all you encounter there.
Chandler: (slightly worried) Masters, the four Kame children resisted the amulets power. They were able to see me! What if-
(Chandler is cut off as the Wind Foot mystic sends a strong blast of wind his way.)
Wind Foot mystic: (Lane's voice, stern) You needn't worry yourself with children! They are powerless!
Metal Foot mystic: Find the pool of sorrow. Part it's waters with the amulets energies.
Earth Foot mystic: (Lar's voice) Beneath it lies the Master's gauntlet, helmet and sarcophagus.
Water Foot mystic: (Loki's voice) Use them to fulfill the only reason a worthless being like you exists. (dramatic) Resurrect the one, true Shredder!
(In the background, the groan from earlier is heard. The mystic's and Chandler look around in surprise.)
Metal Foot mystic: Huh, weird.
Water Foot mystic: Happens every time someone says his name.
Fire Foot mystic: (relieved) Oh, good I thought it was just me.
Wind Foot mystic: Anyway, raise our Master from his long sleep! So that he may once again rule in limitless power! Over all the world!
…
(Inside the Jade gated building, Pop-Pop sits before four figures seated on high thrones with an empty fifth. One is Superintendent Chen wearing green. Another is Officer Schoffner wearing blue robes, next is Stanley Chang wearing grey . Last is the Supermarket manager wearing black and yellow robes. )
Chen: We did not send for you. Why are you here, young one?
Pop-Pop: (respectful) My Masters, I bring grievous news. (sad) My adopted son, Lynn Loud Sr has been slain. (anger) By the alien bug falsely bearing the mantle of the Shredder.
Stanley Chang: (anticlimactic) Yeah, we know.
Pop-Pop: (surprised) You…know?!
Schoffner: It is… as it must be.
Pop-Pop: (struggling to keep himself calm) If I may, Masters…
Chen: (challenging) Do you question our judgement?
(Pop-Pop's anger simmers down as he becomes nervous.)
Pop-Pop: (stammers) Uhhh, ….No. Never.
Schoffner: All is as it must be.
Chen: (bored) If you have nothing of consequence to share with us…leave. We have no need of you.
Pop-Pop: (in his head) Damn, and they're good guys?
(Pop-Pop gets up and heads to the door. Halfway, he stops and turns to them, before continuing on. He stops before the door. It suddenly opens on it's own, that is what he thought until he saw Lori, Lynn, Luna and Luan sprawled on the ground at his feet. Behind them stood Lincoln. The Turtles smile nervously.)
Pop-Pop: (baffled) Wha?...What are you all doing here?
Lincoln: The girls say they saw a phantom stalking you. The same ghost they claim they saw at your home. We followed you to make sure you came to no harm.
(The turtles start to pick themselves up. Lynn looks behind her and points something out fearfully. Chandler is shown walking around holding the amulet up as he serches for his goal.)
Lynn: There he goes now!
(Everyone turns around. Lincoln and Pop-Pop look and see nothing.)
Pop-Pop: I don't see anything?
(Lincoln frowns . He didn't either, but his turtles seeing something like this multiple times couldn't be nothing.)
Lincoln: (suspicious) Nor do I…but there's a presence here…(intense) Something is not right!
Lynn: (points again) He's heading for that house over there!
(The house she is referring to is next to the gates. Pop-Pop becomes aghast as he realized which house it was.)
Pop-Pop: The pool of sorrow! The artifacts! Curse me for a donkeys bottom!
Lincoln: (confused) Wait, what?
Pop-Pop: It's a saying around here. (to everyone) Come! We must make haste.
(Pop-Pop leads the way towards the house. The others follow.)
Pop-Pop: Hurry!
(Having made his way inside, Chandler approaches a pool full of green water, fed by small waterfalls from the wall. He raises the amulet and a beam of red energy shoots from it and strikes the water. The water parts revealing a long flight of stone steps leading down. Chandler smiles and heads down. At the bottom is a war room. Three artifacts are arranged. Two, a helmet and a bladed gauntlet sit on pedestals, while the third is a sarcophagus. All three glow with a yellow aura.)
Chandler: (awed) Finally! The artifacts! At long last I can fulfill my mission and resurrect the one true Shredder.
(He looks upwards, expecting the groan. Nothing happened.)
Chandler: Huh.
(Chandler approaches the pedastal holding the gauntlet. A voice stops him.)
Luna: There he is! (Chandler turns to see Lincoln, Pop-Pop and the turtles standing at the bottom of the stairs.) He's right by that sharp glove!
Pop-Pop: (aghast) The gauntlet!? (looks around) But I still don't see nothing.
Lynn: (not understanding how they couldn't see) But his ugly, boney butt is right there.
(Chandler stares daggers at the turtles. They cower in fear.)
Chandler: (furious) You will pay for your interference!...Little Kames!
(A red aura surrounds him as he drops to all fours. His robes vanish. A pair of bat like wings sprout from his shoulders, his neck extends, as two more Chandler heads appear on either side.)
(The turtles become even more afraid at this terrible visage. The cower behind Lincoln.)
Luan: (terrified) Look out!
Lincoln: (baffled) But… we see nothing, my daughter's.
(The two secondary Chandler heads lash out. One grabs Lincoln and the second, Pop-Pop, though to the reader it looks like they are lifted up by nothing. The turtles are horrified as Lincoln is taken away from them, Luan even tried to hold on to his robe, but was unfortunately not strong enough.)
Lori, Lynn and Luan: (scared) Sensei!
Luna: Master Lincoln! No!
(Chandler brings the two sensei's to him and tightens his grip.)
Luna: (devestated) He's got them both, dudes!
Chandler: (sadistic) I warned you meddlesome brats! Now watch as your Masters perish!
(Holding the two before him, The monster tightens his grip even further, Lincoln and Pop-Pop are limp in his grasp! The turtles fall to knees, tears in their eyes.)
Luna: Master!
Lori: (crying) No! Don't hurt him!
Chandler: (laughs I sadistic euphoria) Their suffering will be great. (slams them both against the floor, electing a groan from both, showing their still alive.) But to you four, I promise it will be much worse!
(The turtles are still crying. When suddenly Lori stops and seizes a nearby stone and hurls it.)
Lori: (enraged in her head) I've literally had it with this bully!
(The rock hits Chandler in the forehead of his center head. He is briefly surprised, then grows angry.)
Chandler: (enraged) You dare!?
(A change over comes over the turtles. Desperate to save their mentor and Pop-Pop. They all pick up rocks and start throwing them at the entity.)
Luna: (angry) Cut it out!
Lori: (angry) Leave them alone!
Luan: (angry) Get away!
Lynn: (angry) Stop it! You bone headed freak!
(Chandler just laughs under the pitiful attack.)
Chandler: (sarcastic) Ow! Oh please! Mercy!
(Just then, Luna holding a rock so big she had to use two hands to carry it. Pulling back with her missile, she launches it. The rock soars through the air and strikes Chandler's amulet. Cracks appear as the amulet begins to shatter, bursts of red energy shoots from it. Chandler looks down shocked.)
Chandler: (shocked) What!
(Chandler drops Lincoln and Pop-Pop in surprise. The two sensei's start to recover. A burst of energy strikes the wall, leaving a crater. Then the air shimmers as Chandler comes into view. The two masters fully recover and rise, and stare as they can now see the phantom.)
Pop-Pop: (about Chandler) Well, well lookie what I see. (to Luna) Hey! Way to take it to him, little kame!
(Luna smiles bashfully and runs the back of her head. Pop-Pop approaches Chandlerand cracks his knuckles.)
Pop-Pop: Well, now that the playing field level, Phantom. How's about we see how scary you really are?
(Chandler readies himself. He suddenly lashes out with two of his heads, but Pop-Pop is too fast, moving with impossible speed and agility for a man of his age, he dodges the attack effortlessly and kicks out twice. Chandler is thrown with impossible force into the wall, destroying the right wing. Lincoln follows by leaping forward and delivers a powerful downward swing with his walking stick, breaking off the left wing. Chandler roars in agony. His rightmost head lashes out hoping to catch him off guard. But Lincoln is apparently anticipating it. He blocks with his cane and rips the head free, under the neck is a bony serpent body. Lincoln tears his cane and evades a snap from the head, before swinging himself, shattering the head in a single blow. The leftmost head tries to attack Pop-Pop, who leaps aside. The head tries again with a similar result. Pop-Pop then jumps up and lands on the skull, shattering it as well, leaving Chandler with his original head.)
Turtles: (cheering) Yeah! Way to go! That's the way to do it!
(With the lose of his wings and heads, Chandler writhes in agony as he reverts to his original form.)
Lincoln: Pop-Pop! Look!
Pop-Pop: (serious) His powers failing. Let's end it!
(While Chandler was recovering, Pop-Pop flips over and seizes his left arm. Lincoln hurries over and seized his right. Together they force him to his knees. Lincoln twists his grip sharply, ripping Chandler's arm off.)
Lincoln: You are finished ghoul! (looks at the reader) And this ain't even the darkest episode.
(Pop-Pop rips Chandler's remaining arm off, then kicks Chandler in the back, throwing him forward. Chandler lands on the sarcophagus. He rises and turns just in time for both Lincoln and Pop-Pop to deliver the final blow will a flying double kick in the face. Lincoln and Pop-Pop land as Chandler crashes to the ground hard enough to crack it. He raises his head slightly as cracks cover his face and his eyes roll into his sockets and vanish. Chandler's head sinks to the floor. He is dead.)
(Relieved that he's okay, Lori, Lynn, Luna and Luan excitedly run over to embrace him, though Lynn does stop long enough to kick a rock a the dead Chandler. The turtles embrace Lincoln.)
Lori: Yay! Master Lincoln!
Lynn: You destroyed him!
Luan: You're the best!
Luna: Way to go, Dad! Sweet shell kicking action!
(Pop-Pop joins the happy family. Suddenly a powerful voice breaks into the moment.)
Chen's voice: Well done, Young one!...
(Chen, Schoffner and Stanley Chang float down from the ceiling, having seen the entire battle.)
Chen: You've crushed a bone demon.
Pop-Pop: (humbly) Only will the help of Lincoln-san and his young turtle ninjas.
Stanley Chang: We've long suspected the Foot mystic's would strike in an attempt to retrieve the artifacts…but we did not know when. Their cunning is boundless.
Schoffner: (to Lincoln) We owe you thanks rodent. You and your Kame children.
(Pop-Pop looks over the turtles investigating the dead bone demon, something didn't add up.)
Pop-Pop: (to the tribunal) Masters, how could they see the don? But Lincoln and I could not?
Chen: (awnsers as if knowing all along) The amulet it was wearing blinded the wise and world-weary to his presence. Only those pure of heart, Children, were immune to it's powers.
(Over by the carcass, Lynn and Luan start kicking it.)
Lynn: (confident) Not so terrifying now! Are ya!?
(Schoffner turns her gaze to the turtles.)
Schoffner: Still, not all children would resist its magic. These four are…unique. We will have to watch them…for the future.
(Lynn and Luan's kicking stirs up a cloud of dust.)
Luan: (coughs)
Lynn: (laughs)
Stanley Chang: I agree. (grave) However, at present, their knowledge of this night is a danger..to them…and to us..their minds must be relieved of these memories.
Lincoln: (uncertain) I…guess.
(Stanley Chang floats down in front of the turtles. The four look at him cconfused .)
Stanley Chang: (commanding) Be Purged!
(Instantly the four pairs of eyes glow briefly, before the return to normal. The four turtles start mumbling and giggling in a confused manner.)
Schoffner: Allow us to speed you on your way. (waves her hand and a swirling vortex appears before the turtles and Lincoln. On the other side, they see their hideout in the sewers.)
Lincoln: (happy) My burrow.
Pop-Pop: (remembers something) Wait Lincoln-san, before you go. (steps up to Lincoln and from his inner shirt pocket he pulls out four colored piece of cloth. Ones blue, another is red, a third, purple and the last one is orange.) I found these in my house and I thought they'd be perfect for your little turtle ninjas
(Lincoln realizes what they are. He grins.)
Lincoln: Ninja masks!
(Pop-Pop steps over to the giggly, stumbling turtles.)
Pop-Pop: Let's see. (ties the purple one over Luna's eyes) Rocking and cool purple for you.
(Ties the blue around Lori's head.)
Pop-Pop: Calm and resourceful blue for you. (sees he's tied it sideways so Lori couldn't see, he hastily rightens it, chuckling sheepishly) Whoops.
(Over Luan's eyes go the orange one)
Pop-Pop: For you, fun-loving orange.
(Lastly over Lynn's go the red.)
Pop-Pop: And brave and protective red.
(As he and Lincoln step back to admire the turtles with their nee masks, heroic and inspiring music is heard in the background.)
Pop-Pop: (confused) Wait, what was that?
Lincoln: Not sure, but I think this is the first mission of one of the the most successful and popular teams ever created.
Chen: (annoyed) All right, enough foolishness! (to Lincoln) Enter the portal.
(Lincoln and the turtles enter the portal.)
Pop-Pop: Goodbye Lincoln-san. Goodbye little Kames. (the vortex vanishes) Take care of yourselves.
(Back in the present)
Luna: (awe) Wow!
Luan: Man. We were adorable!
Lori: (smiles) To think, we've been to Japan and met the tribunal when we were just kids.
Lincoln: (fondly) Yes, even though you were very small, you helped win a very big victory.
Pop-Pop: (confident) And we'll do it again! We will find a way to take it to the Shredder! All of is!
(Her smile failing, Lori gets up.)
Lori: I hope your right, masters. I literally do.
(Lori turns to stare out the window at the darkening sky.)
There you all have it. First in my TMNT Loud House retellings. Treated you to Turtle tots cause come on! They are adorable.
