Plot[]
In the year 2044, the alien Krang has invaded the Earth and the resistance has fallen. In one final attempt, Leonardo and Michelangelo now as Masters with the rest of their family having died in the war, send their student Casey Jones back in time to stop the invasion by finding a key that allowed the Krang to come to the Earth, though it costs Leo and Mikey their lives to do so.
Casey successfully reaches the present day, two years after the defeat of the Shredder. After Leo breaks Donatello's pizza box stack record, Raphael alerts both of them and Mikey of a theft unfolding by Hypno-Potamus and Warren Stone, with the key that Casey is looking for is included with the stolen items. The Turtles manage to stop them, but the Foot ninjas arrive and claim the key. Back in the new lair, Raph and Leo get into an argument due to the latter's growing ego.
Meanwhile, Casey finds April O'Neil who knocks him out and takes him to the Turtles' lair. He then explains his mission and after mentioning the Krang, Splinter explains that they came to Earth long ago and were exiled to another realm by a band of warriors who created and used the key, which is a mystic weapon, and that they are worshiped by the Foot. The Turtles, along with April, Splinter and Casey, go after the Foot, who have managed to open the portal. Their fight against the Krang causes them to lose their mystic powers, forcing them to retreat, but Leo manages to seize the key and close the portal. To protect Leo, Raph forces him to escape while he is captured.
Afterwards, the remaining Turtles, along with Casey, go after the Krang and Raph while Splinter and April remain behind to get rid of the key. The Krang manage to find the Turtles' lair through Raph, they then parasitically possess the members of the Foot clan and sends them after the key while they prepare the portal on top of the Metro Tower, the tallest building in the city.
The Turtles and Casey are ambushed in the sub-way tunnels and get separated. Casey calls out Leo for his arrogance before they reunite with the rest of the Turtles. They then find Raph, who has been possessed by the Krang and seizes the key, the Krang then uses the key to open the portal and bring forth the Technodrome. The Krang began their attack upon New York City and easily defeat the U.S. Army.
While April, Splinter, and Casey occupy the Krang forces, the Turtles board the ship. Leo goes after Raph, while Donnie and Mikey try to seize control of the ship. They are captured, but Leo reaches out to Raph and helps him break free, and the brothers manage to regain their mystic powers. The four fight valiantly but the Krang are too strong with Mikey, Donnie and Raph thrown out of the ship during the battle. Leo forces the Krang back to their prison realm and orders Casey to close the portal, which results in the Technodrome getting cut in half from the closure and destroyed. Leo is trapped in the realm, but Mikey, Raph, and Donnie save him using Mikey's newly-developed mystic powers, leaving the Krang alone in the prison realm, preventing the future of earth being destroyed.
Sometime later, the heroes enjoy pizza on top of the Brooklyn Bridge, with Casey revealing that former Foot Clan recruit Cassandra Jones is his mother. They watch the city as it is being rebuilt and make a vow to defend it when it is needed. Afterwards, Raph tries to break Leo's pizza box stack record.
