== Plot ==
Agents from the Techno-Cosmic Research Institute are on a mission to kill Baxter Stockman and steal something that he created: mutagen. The leader of the TCRI Agents, Spider Bytez, a muscular and tough man, tells the agents that the mutagen is capable of merging an animal with a human. Spider Bytez tells the agents to break in, kill Stockman, and steal a vial of a green substance. As the agents broke in, they found Baxter Stockman growing mutagen. Before the agents could shoot their laser weapons at them, Baxter made a deal with them. He would give them the mutagen, and Baxter would be home free. Spider Bytes tells the Agents to hold their fire, he has a "better idea". Spider Bytez says to "take him to Shredder." One of the Agents uses his stun weapon to knock Baxter out. The agents pick Baxter's unconscious body up. Baxter's hand still gripped a vial of mutagen, but he drops the vial. The agents don't notice. The vial rolls over into a storm drain. No one, not even Dr. Stockman himself, could have predicted the chain of reactions that held on that day.
Eleven years later, four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles grabbed their ninja weapons - Nunchucks, sai, staff, swords - and set out on a night raid. Moments later, in a dark alley, Leonardo, the leader of the four brothers, pulled out a very ancient-looking scroll. The scroll has a list of -- GROCERIES. The Turtles all have one job to do. As they stealthily infiltrate the grocery store, they steal everything they need for groceries for Master Splinter. Leonardo says to head back, Master Splinter is waiting for them. Michelangelo says they could go to a movie. The Turtles are all down for the movie (except Leonardo who reluctantly comes). They go see an outdoor movie: Mean Girls. The Turtles watch from a distance on a billboard. Michelangelo thinks it's hilarious. Raphael thinks it's boring because there's not enough action. Donatello likes it but says he hates it to impress his brothers. Leonardo just stares at a pretty teenage girl (who is later revealed to be April O'Neil). After the movie is over, Leo is really worried and says that they have to go home now. The rest of the Turtles say "fine!", and call their brother a buzzkill.
When they sneak into the sewer lair, trying not to wake their father up, Splinter immediately turns on a lamp and catches them. The Turtles make up excuses for being out late but Splinter doesn't buy it. Leonardo admits that they went to a movie with a human, and Splinter is disgusted. Splinter hates humans. Splinter threatens to tell the Turtles "the story". The Turtles wine and groan, saying that it's so depressing and how they'd rather eat their own claws. Splinter says he will tell them the long version because they're being so whiney. And so, the origin is revealed:
