Another restless night in New York City.
The mutant brothers leap across the rooftops, hunting down their target.
"Leo, where's that scientist—what's his name again?!"
Raphael asked in frustration.
"He's nearby. Keep it down,"
Leonardo, the leader of the Ninja Turtles, whispered back.
CRASH!
"Ha! Gotcha, Baxter Stockman!"
Michelangelo shouted.
"Actually, his name is Dexter Backsman,"
corrected Donatello, the smartest of the brothers.
"Don't get smart with me, Don,"
grumbled Raphael.
"Whatever his name is, grab him!"
Leonardo commanded.
"My name is Baxter Stockman! Why can't you remember that?!"
yelled the dark-skinned villain.
A short fight breaks out. The Ninja Turtles quickly gain the upper hand.
The scientist retreats, beaten.
Back at home, the brothers sit around a steaming pizza, recounting their victory to Master Splinter.
Meanwhile, in Shredder's fortress...
The scientist is dragged before Oroku Saki, also known as Shredder.
"You failed..."
Shredder said in a cold, quiet voice.
"I'm sorry, my lord. Give me one more chance..."
Baxter begged.
"I've given you enough chances."
"Please!"
"I'll give you until my son arrives. If you fail again, I'll turn you into a monster like those turtles."
Shredder dismissed him.
Baxter leaves in a panic.
Shredder turns to his daughter, Karai.
"Karai, find those turtles."
he ordered.
"Yes, Father."
