"HERE THEY COME...SCATTER BOYS!"
"We got ya freaks...."
"These guys are young, but no weaklings. In fact they are quite skilled from their brawls on the streets. We however are better."
"We hit them with ninja fast kicks, and strikes that leave them dazed."
"Using their own alley against them, Mike takes care of several on his own."
A defeated gang.
"Once we defeat the thugs, we head off to our home. The only place safe for us. We leave the Police to clean up the mess. As we head to the one place that even we feel free........THE SEWER....
"Once in our home we begin to relax. Mike enjoys a pizza while Raph listens to some music. Myself and Don discuss the battle, which awakes our master....
"You have battled my sons....."
"Yes master. We fought well, and won."
"Ah but now you must learn the Wu Guai De Zhe Xue....The Way of the Turtle...."
"Master Splinter we did as you have tought us. We battled evil. And tonight we have victory..."
"We can only chose to be moral when we are free Leonardo. Tonight you battled simple criminals. However evil is among us. The force of evil is only as strong as your willingness to surrender. Its time I explain your pasts to you...I knew this day would come...You will learn of my life and how you came to be...."
"Twas many many years ago......some fifteen or more, when it all began....In my homeland of Osaka, Japan. There was a great martial arts master. Who led the most elite ninja fighting group in all the world...The Foot Clan...."
"I was a pet rat, of my master Hamato Yoshi. He in fact enjoyed me as a pet because I mocked his martial arts. Little did he know I was learning the ways of the ninja."
"There was another warrior who was of equal skill of Hamato Yoshi. He however was tainted with greed. Oroku Saki. The two however were the top two students in their training, and often sparred with one another. I watched their battles from my cage and learned the best traits of both. However I also learnd of their mutual downfall...."
"Tang Shen....A beautiful young woman. Both tried to win her. But from the start, she loved only one. My master Hamato Yoshi. Eventually this drove Oroku Saki crazy. To the point where he was fired from his duties in the Foot Clan. He blamed Yoshi, and vowed that if he couldn't have Tang Shen...Then no one could. He left Japan for many years, while Teng Shen and Hamato Yoshi married. In his time away Oroku Saki became known as a underworld leader of criminal ninjas. He was called simply The Shedder. Shredder is the hideous, gruesome name he earned by using his violent fist daggers to destroy several innocent people."
"After several years of plotting his revenge against my master, Shedder returned to Osaka one dark night. While Hamato Yoshi was gone, Shedder broke in and killed Tang Shen. Hanging her. He left her body so that my master would find her, and he did shortly after midnight. However Shedder had worse plans as he attacked the grieving Hamato Yoshi. Killing him, extracting his revenge."
"Not yet complete with his reign of terror, Oroku Saki found and challenged the master of the Foot Clan. This time as the Shedder, he was able to defeat and slay the leader of the Clan. This low life came to power when he betrayed his training and his master, and took over the Foot Clan. Changing them from great protectors of the ninjitsu way, to evil ninjas bent on harming peace."
"Master we can defeat this Shedder. I know we can."
"Yes Leonardo. With your bright futures ahead of you, you must defeat him. Avenge my master. Shedder knows that I still exist, and has been plotting my demise for many years. It is time you end this battle once and for all...For the sake of mankind. Go my turtles...Find Saki...and kill him...."
