“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003 TV series, season 3)”

“This marks the debut appearance of Casey Jones' widowed mother Mrs. Jones.
Donatello: (Narrating) Warning: the stunts you are about to witness are done by professional maniacs. Do not attempt this yourself. Do not stand up in an open vehicle traveling at speeds upwards of 90 miles per hour. If an eighteen-wheeler driven by a crazed wacko is trying to run you off the road, do not continue to agitate said crazed wacko! And, most importantly, do not attempt to disarm a thermo-nuclear device in the back of aforementioned eighteen-wheeler... that is, unless you want to kiss your shell goodbye!”

“This marks the debut appearance of Touch and Go.
Raphael: (Narrating) There's an old saying that goes something like, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." You'd think that after the city had been torn to pieces by warring aliens from outer space, maybe people would be a little more open-minded about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles living in their own back yard. Think again.
Thug #1: Over here! That freaky alien! He's over here!
Thug #2: Let's tear him to pieces!
Raphael: (Narrating) Ain't it nice to see that some things never change?”

“This marks the debut appearance of Renet, Savanti Romero and Lord Simultaneous
Renet: (Narrating) Being an apprentice timestress in the 79th level of Null Time can kind of get boring. But, since I swiped my boss's Time Scepter, its been like totally rad. I hooked up with these cute little green bald guys. They call themselves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which is kinda catchy, you know. And right now, I'm really glad these little green guys are tagging along because it looks like this day is gonna get crazier and crazier. Or worse.
Michelangelo: Welcome to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle motel, where giant killer roaches check in...
Raphael: But they don't check out.
Leonardo: [retrieves his sword] Come on, let's keep moving.”

“This marks the debut appearance of Nobody and Ruffington.
Nobody: (Narrating) [After stopping the bank robbers] Who am I? I might just be a glimmer of hope for a lost city. I'm the kind of guy cops would thank if they knew I existed. But they don't. Who am I? I'm Nobody.
Felon: Who-who are you? Who are you, man?!
Narrator: Who am I? I might just be a glimmer of hope for a lost city. I'm the guy the cops would thank if they knew I existed, but they don't. Who am I? I'm Nobody.
[Meanwhile, Hun has returned to Foot headquarters to meet with Oroku Saki / Shredder. Floating alongside Hun in his stasis tube is the brain of Baxter Stockman.]
Hun: You wish to see me, Master?
Oroku Saki: Hun, what is happening with your mission?
Hun: Uh, Ruffington’s using his fishery to warehouse the weapons until they’re loaded onto our barge. Then…
Oroku Saki: Silence! This matter is completely out of control. Stockman has already tapped into Ruffington’s security system.
Hun: Oh, has he?
Baxter Stockman: Well, you know me, always happy to lend a hand. [He floats over to a control panel and activates several monitors. They show what is happening inside the fishery warehouse.]
Hun: The turtles?!
Oroku Saki: I do not tolerate failure.
Hun: I’m on it, sir. [He presses a button on his phone.] I have a job for you. Prime Fishery Warehouse. Now. I’ll meet you there.
Oroku Saki: [smacks the phone out of his hand.] No, you stay here. And you had better hope it goes well.”

“This episode takes place in a 3-decade apocalyptic alternate future.
Karai: Attention servants of the Shredder, your Lord and Master will now address you.
The Shredder: For those of you who are still living under the illusion that you will have freedom, know this: My armies have exterminated the last pockets of resistance and I now control the entire planet. The traitorous Utrom scientists I have captured are completing a colossal transmat device. With it, I will send forth my armies and enslave the stars, one world after another. There is no hope. There is only the Shredder.
Karai: Remember, the Shredder is always watching.
Donatello: Mikey! Your... your arm! What happened to your arm?
Future Michelangelo: You're the one that's got some questions to answer! Where the shell have you been all these years?!
Don: "All these years"?
Future Mikey: You've been gone over 30 years, Donatello.
Don: "30 years"?! It can't be!
Future Mikey: Can be, and is! We thought you were dead... How the shell could you just abandon us like that?!
Don: I didn't. I'd never abandon you guys. One minute we were all in the lair together, the next minute I woke up here. I don't know how.
Future Mikey: So, the Turtle with the big brain doesn't have all the answers. Who would have thunk it?
Future Karai: I beg you. Leave this place or you will force me to do that which my duty commands.
Future Leonardo: Not this time, Karai! This time you have to make a choice! [blasted by Footbots and gravely wounded, which Karai reluctantly takes advantage of to run him through with her katana]
Future Karai: Forgive, Leonardo.
Future April O'Neil: Karai, end of the line. [shoots her with her missile launcher]
Future Karai: Master, I am finished.
Donatello: My brothers. My poor brothers. This world, this future... it's a nightmare.
Future April O'Neil: It was a nightmare, Don, but you managed to finally save us from this darkness. There is always hope.”

“This marks the seventh appearance of Karai and is the debut appearance of apprentice scientist Dr. Chaplin.
Donatello: (Narrating) Ever get the feeling that things are not exactly what they seem? Take this Triceraton tri-base. It seems to be a space invader but it's really just another casualty, still lying around from the recent alien attack. Then there's Oroku Saki a.k.a. The Shredder. He seems to be using his fortune to rebuild New York. But he's really more interest in cleaning all this leftover alien technology for himself. Lastly, these eight foot tall Amazons. They seem to want to slice us into itty, bitty turtle pieces. Okay, they really do want to slice us into itty, bitty turtle pieces.
Shredder: Open.
[The bust splits in half and Shredder steps inside. It closes and an interior shot shows that it is a disguised elevator. It takes him to a lower level command center. Hun, Karai, and Baxter Stockman are waiting for him.]
Shredder: Report.
Hun: Master, please forgive my earlier interruption, but I thought you’d want to know we encountered the turtles near the Central Park salvage operation.
Shredder: [grabs his wrist and twists it and Hun grunts in pain. he drops him to his knees.] You are not to be seen or heard while I conduct our legitimate business, is that clear?
Hun: Yes, Master. [Shredder releases him.]
Shredder: Now, as for the turtles, they must not be allowed to interfere with my plans.
Dr. Chaplin: I give you...the Footbots!
Karai: Do I detect a resemblance?
Dr. Chaplin: They're a tribute to you. You don't mind, do you? It's because you're so perfect.
Leonardo: No! They fight like Karai.
Donatello: You mean Karai trained these Footbots?
Leo: I don't know.
[Karai pulls up alongside the turtles and stops. As she looks at them, she hears Shredder’s voice in her earpiece.]
The Shredder: [on cellphone] Karai, what about the Turtles!? Have they been captured, destroyed?
[She and Leonardo stare at one another.]
Karai: No, my lord. I'm afraid they... got away. [She speeds off.]
Michelangelo: What, she couldn't give us a lift?
Raphael: Shut up and swim!”

“The TMNT haven’t seen the last of Ch’rell/Utrom Shredder until Turtles Forever.
The Shredder: (Narrating) For almost a millennia, I have been marooned on this pitiful mudball, but I have spent my time well... I have built my empire, with one goal in mind: revenge. All that time I have plotted to cross the universe and finally conquer the hated Utrom homeworld. And... worlds beyond. But there are those who would stop me, such as Agent Bishop, and the accursed turtles... and their rat master. But now, my starcruiser is complete.
Karai: The Shredder and I are leaving
Shredder: (Narrating) I say, "Let my enemies come". Today, I return to the stars, and the Shredder will not be stopped!
Leonardo: We have to jump for it!
Raphael: Come on!
Karai: My master was leaving! It did not have to be this way! [nearly falls, but Leonardo saves her by catching her hand] You are too kind, Leonardo. Much too kind!
[About to finish off a gravely wounded Leo]
The Shredder: Now we end this! [prevented from throwing the final blow by Karai]
Karai: You have defeated them, my Lord. Leave them in their dishonor.
The Shredder: Karai, you go too far. [drops Leonardo on the floor and then backhands Karai. She hits the catwalk outside the power core room on her back.]
Karai: Aah!
The Shredder: You dishonor me!! [punches her, causing her to fall backward, The missile hits the starship and rocks it.] What!? Chaplin, what is happening up there!? Chaplin!? [He runs for the door to the power core room, but it slides shut in front of him, locking him out.] Dr. Chaplin, get this door open now!
[Meanwhile, the turtles are groaning and trying to rise as Shredder continues banging on the door.]
Michelangelo: Man, my everything hurts.
Leonardo: [pulls himself up using the maintenance panel as a brace.] The Shredder’s trying to get back in. He’ll finish us for sure. How’s Master Splinter?
[Donatello crawls over to him. Splinter is lying on his back.]
Splinter: My sons, I am sorry.
Leonardo: [squats down next to Donatello.] No, Sensei, it’s our fault, we couldn’t stop him. We failed. We failed the Utroms, Master Yoshi, we failed you. I failed you.
Raphael: So that’s it? Shredder wins?
Michelangelo: It’s not like we’re in any shape to stop him.
Leonardo: Unless... You know... [looks back at the power core.] That’s a lot of energy.
Raphael: In the wrong hands...
Michelangelo: It would make a pretty big bang.
Donatello: We’d never survive.
Leonardo: But neither would the Shredder. We could end this.
Splinter: No, my sons, I could never ask you to...
Michelangelo: [uses a railing to rise to his feet.] It’s okay, Sensei. We know the score.
Raphael: If we don’t stop the Shredder now...
Donatello: Millions of innocent beings throughout the galaxy will suffer at his hands.
Leonardo: It’s all right, Father, we’re all agreed.
Splinter: Then let us finish this, together.
Donatello: [picks up the damaged tech tab and walks back to the maintenance panel with it.] Come on, Professor, be okay. Be okay.
Honeycutt/Fugitoid: [The picture on the tech tab fluctuates with static lines, and he image appears, vanishes and reappears.] Donatello, what...
Donatello: Professor, we need you to overload the power core.
Professor Honeycutt: But that would cause an explosion of great magnitude and... Oh, I see. I feared the situation was hopeless, but I understand. I am with you to the end. Here we go then. [Donatello slides him into the panel.] Overload in five, four... [The turtles brace themselves.] three... two... one.
[The power core room door slides open and Shredder’s eyes widen.]
Shredder: No!
[Donatello runs as the power core explodes, flinging him into the air.]
Council of Three: Mortu, we close in on Honeycutt’s signal. But we sense that the destruction of the evil one’s ship is imminent.
Council 1: We can delay no longer.
Council 2: Prepare the exo-suits...
Council 3: And transmat aboard immediately.
Utrom: Commander, all is in order.
Mortu: Agreed, to the transmat now! And activate the stasis bubble immediately.
[A beam from the Utrom ship hits Shredder’s starship and encases it in a stasis bubble. Everything inside the starship freezes in place, leaving the turtles and Splinter suspended in mid-air. A pair of Utroms in exo-suits transmat into the power core room.]
Utrom: Mr. Mortu, sir, collapse of the stasis bubble is imminent. It will not hold.
Mortu: Transmat the Turtles and Master Splinter to the infirmary immediately. Send Professor Honeycutt to our main laboratories. [The Utrom takes the tech tab out of the maintenance panel. Nearby, both Shredder and Karai are also frozen in mid-run.] Send this scum to the holding cells, [Dr. Chaplin is frozen on the flight deck.] along with their accomplice on the bridge.
Utrom: Yes, sir. Transmatting now.
[Everyone transmats off of the starship just before the stasis bubble disappears. Explosions rip the starship apart. On the helicopter, Bishop receives a report about the starship.]
Soldier: Target destroyed, sir. Scanning the wreckage. No survivors, sir.
Baxter Stockman: The Shredder, destroyed? It’s too good to be true. For once in my life, I’m-I’m speechless.
Agent Bishop: Stockman, you’ve been very useful. This could be the start of a mutually beneficial partnership.
[Across the screen appears “Utrom Homeworld Galaxy Theta”. Pan down into a domed building. Inside the large chamber of the Utrom High Council , hundreds of sentient alien species appear overhead on a holographic screen to view the proceedings. A platform rises from the floor in the center of the room. On it, held in place by a pair of tractor beams, is Ch’rell, still inside the exo-suit. Another platform rises. On it, in shackles, are Karai and Dr. Chaplin. She looks over to the next platform to rise. Standing on it are the turtles, Splinter, and the Fugitoid, now housed in a new robotic body. Splinter has burns over his body and the turtles are heavily bandaged. Michelangelo has casts on both legs and uses crutches. Spotlights suddenly flash on, one for each of the seven members of the Utrom High Council.]
Utrom High Council Leader: Hail and peace to all sentient beings. In the name of the great lawgiver, Matthes Arles, this tribunal is now called to order. We sit in judgment over Ch'rell, for war crimes and atrocities committed throughout the galaxy. Ch'rell, also known as Torrinon, Kako Naso, Duke Acureds, Oroku Saki, and the Shredder. [The tractor beams force Ch’rell out of his exo-suit.] Prepare to face the following charges. [Blue beams disintegrate the exo-suit. An image of a planet appears on a large screen.] Let it be known that as Dolphette has testified, [A picture of Dolphette is shown.] you did willingly launch an attack on the planet Enethone. [There is a replay of scenes of that attack.] Over one million innocent inhabitants perished. [Another alien image appears, along with a different planet.] And as Wan-ran Otho has proven, you incited and funded a civil war on Eno II [Scenes of the warfare play.] in an effort to mine their raw minerals without restriction. 3.2 million perished. Finally, your crimes against the Utrom homeworld include multiple attempts to take control of the government through an illegal and violent coup. [Karai lowers her head.] We will now commune upon the verdict.
[The council members close their eyes. A chanting sound can be heard as everyone waits. All of the council members open their eyes and speak together.]
Utrom High Council: In the name of the great lawgiver, this tribunal finds you, Ch'rell... guilty!
Ch'rell: [shocked] What?! [anger] Arrrrgh!
Dr. Chaplin: Ouch.
Utrom High Council Leader: Ch'rell, you are hereby sentenced to eternal exile on the ice asteroid Mor Gal Tal. [Karai gasps]
Ch'rell: You are not fit to judge me! I am the Shredder! I am invincible! [The blue beams hit him and the tractor beams vanish. he struggles.] I... I... No!... NOOOOOOOO! [His body is pulled, flattened, and then vanishes.]
Utrom High Council Leader: May your actions haunt you forever.
Mortu: As for the Shredder's comrades, they shall be returned to Earth and handed over to the proper authorities. [The platform on which Karai and Dr. Chaplin are standing lowers.]
Karai: This is not what I wanted, Leonardo! This is not what I wanted!!
[The floor closes over them.]
Mortu: We all owe you a debt of gratitude. The Shredder has finally been brought to justice.
Leonardo: Is it really over?
Raphael: No more Shredder?
Splinter: Yes, my sons. My master Yoshi's spirit can finally rest in peace. The Shredder... is finished.
[Ch'rell is shown on one of the many ice asteroids]
Ch'rell: [screaming in rage] NOOOOO! NOOOOOOOO!!! AAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!”
