Synopsis:<\/p>\n
Leo intro voiceover: “The Purple Dragon gang has us trapped in a dead-end alley. The only way out… is through them.” (This basic scene repeats itself later in the main action).<\/p>\n
The TMNT are enduring another one of Splinter\u2019s training sessions in the old lair. All is going as usual until the lair starts to shake and crumble. Suddenly, a horde of Mousers burst through a wall. A big battle ensues between the mechanical menaces and our heroes. Just when it looks like the Turtles have defeated the Mousers, there is a cave-in in the lair that separates the TMNT from Master Splinter.<\/p>\n
The Turtles communicate with Splinter via Shell-Cell, and agree to rendezvous in another part of the sewer system. On the way to the rendezvous point, the TMNT are forced to go above ground, and in so doing interrupt a Purple Dragon robbery. During the course of this side adventure, Raph manages to get locked inside the Dragon\u2019s Armored Truck. The rest of the guys can only watch and follow as Raphael gets hauled off with the loot.<\/p>\n
By taking rooftop shortcuts the other three Turtles are able to see where the truck stops to unload. The ninjas drop down, dispatch a couple of Dragons and free Raph. But, just as they are about to make their exit, the TMNT are surrounded by a number of Dragons and Foot Soldiers. A battle royal occurs in the alley outside the Dragon warehouse. The Turtles do just fine, but the bad guy reinforcements just keep coming. Therefore, the mutants decide to “borrow” the armored truck and get the shell out of there.<\/p>\n
After ditching the truck in an abandoned sewer tunnel, the TMNT finally rendezvous with Splinter, who has a discovery to share with them. The Sensei has stumbled across an old abandoned chamber in the sewer system, and has decided this will be their new home and HQ. After inspecting the cavernous space, the Turtles couldn\u2019t agree more, and we leave them as they are beginning to make things tidy for living.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
