## History

### Background

It all started when the Turtles encountered a strange ninja group called the Foot Clan. One night, the Foot Clan stole a strange and powerful sword from the New York museum called the Sword of Tengu using a specially designed glove which the Turtles tried to stop. Although the Foot Clan got away with the sword, the Turtles got some of their clothing with their symbol on it and presented it to Master Splinter who knew right away who they were but kept it secret for their safety. The sword was later given the the Foot Clan's leader, Oroku Saki who planned to use it to hunt down and find certain enemies of his. When the Foot Clan tried to use it, the Turtles stopped them and got both the sword and the glove which was needed to hold it. The Turtles then gave the sword to Splinter who decided to hold onto it for safe keeping. However, the Foot Clan managed to find a strange exoskeleton within the city's river which was proof that the Saki's enemies were in the city and Saki was reported about the Turtles who he believed might have been working for his enemies. So he sent two of his followers to find and destroy them. Which were his most devoted follower, Hun who was the leader of a street gang called the Purple Dragons and Dr. Baxter Stockman who was a brilliant inventor and scientist that would often get his body parts taken away whenever he failed. With help from the Purple Dragons and some invisible Foot Tech Ninjas that Stockman was able to design by studying a fraction of the mysterious exoskeleton, Hun was able to capture Raphael and he and Stockman interrogated him about Shredder's enemies on a Foot Clan boat. But Raphael didn't know who they were talking about and escaped which Hun let so Raphael could lead the Foot Tech Ninja to the other Turtles. But the Turtles were able to beat them using special googles Donatello made to find the Foot Tech Ninjas. But Hun reported to Saki that the Turtles were not in league with his enemies so Saki decided to use the Turtles to help find them. He sent Leonardo a message using the Foot Ninjas, telling him to meet up at an old warehouse. When Leonardo arrived, Saki greeted him and offered Leonardo a place on the Foot Clan to help him fight his enemies which he claimed were a great evil. He even gave Leonardo a special sword and told him meet up with him tomorrow night for an answer. However, the other Turtles followed Leonardo and witnessed his encounter with Saki then they confronted him about it. So Leonardo talk to Splinter about the Foot Clan and revealed to the Turtles about how he known who they were and who Saki was as he had gone by another name called the Shredder. Splinter then revealed to them that Shredder and the Foot Clan were the ones who killed his master, Hamato Yoshi while interrogating him for the whereabouts of Shredder's enemies before Splinter and the Turtles were mutated. He also reveals that Shredder wasn't fighting evil, he was evil and that Splinter kept secret about both him and the Foot for the Turtles safety. The Turtles later met up with the Foot Clan on the roof of the warehouse where Leonardo rejected Saki's invitation. Then they fought off the Foot Ninjas and Hun and defeated them all but then more Foot Ninjas arrived along with Saki in his Shredder armor.

The Turtles fought them off but during the fight, the roof of the warehouse got set on fire. Then later, the Turtles became scattered so Shredder sent the Foot Ninjas to find them. But the Turtles were able to regroup and defeated the Foot Ninjas with help from Master Splinter with Leonardo getting help from a mysterious warrior called a Guardian. Later, they let the Shredder and the Foot Clan find them, fought them off, and defeated them again with Splinter defeating Shredder.But then one day, the Foot Clan started searching the sewers for the Turtles and Splinters which forced them to leave and stay with their human friend, April O'Neil for a while. However, while Leonardo was out training the Foot Clan ambushed and chased him then Shredder arrived and beat Leonardo bad with his Foot Elite. He then threw him back into April's place injured, destroyed Leonardo's swords, then he and the Foot Clan attacked the place. The Turtles and Splinter fought them off to protect Leonardo then they all tried to make their escape with help from April but then the Foot Elite arrived. The Turtles fought them off but the both Hun and Shredder showed up and outnumbered the all until the Turtles other human friend, Casey Jones arrived and helped them out by fighting off the Foot Elite on his motorcycle. Eventually, everyone retreated to a closet then when the police arrived, Shredder ordered the Foot Clan to evacuate while he sealed the Turtles, Splinter, April, and Casey in the closet, set the whole building on fire, and broke open a gas pipe to kill them all in a huge explosion. However, they all managed to escape outback before the explosion could happen then they all left the city for Casey's old farmhouse in the country to rest and heal up. Meanwhile, Shredder needed proof that the Turtles were dead so Stockman volunteered to find the proof for him and in return Shredder would allow Stockman full access of the exoskeleton. But while searching the wreckage of April's place with his Mousers, Stockman couldn't find any proof that the Turtles and their friends were gone so he instead faked some evidence using an withered scarf to make it look like Raphael's mask which fooled Shredder enough to let Stockman full access to the exoskeleton but Stockman had other plans for it. Eventually, Leonardo was able to heal up and make himself new swords then the Turtles, Splinter, April, and Casey all went back to the city to take down Shredder. They all snuck back into sewers and the lair after the Foot Clan had left the place due to Shredder believing that the Turtles are dead. As a result, the Turtles decided to launch a surprise attack on the Foot Clan's headquarters.

### The Battle

With help from April, Donatello is able to hack into the Foot Clan headquarters to find out the layout of the Foot Clan headquarters. Then the Turtles and Splinter leave for the place in their tricked out armored car, the Battle Shell and take the Sword of Tengu with them. While April stays behind to help coordinate them from the lair along with Casey who stays to protect April. The Turtles storm into the place with the Battle Shell and fight off every Foot Ninja they come across. They even use the Battle Shell to take out some laser but Hun beats them using a bomb but when he looks into the Battle Shell he finds the Turtles and Splinter gone. Because the Battle Shell was actually being controlled remotely by Donatello as a distraction so the Turtles and Splinter could sneak into the headquarters through the pipes. After they get in, April uploads a virus to jam the Foot Clan's internal communications network so they can't contact each other just as Hun reports to Shredder about the Battle Shell and how it belongs to the Turtles which makes Shredder realize that the Turtles are alive and that Stockman tricked him. Later, the Turtles and Splinter get into the Foot Clan's control room where they fight off the Foot Ninjas there then after they defeat them, Donatello hooks into the foot Clan's computer network and has April download all the remote access codes to the headquarters so they can have full access to all of the rooms in it. The Turtles and Splinter then escape through a vent and end up in a Foot Clan vehicle garage where they are attack by some Foot Tech Ninjas. But Raphael fights them off by using one of the Foot Clan's own flying vehicles but then one of them attacks using a Foot Clan tank. The Turtles and Splinters are able to defeat the Foot Tech Ninjas and head up to the next floor through a hole in the celling caused by the fight where they find a Foot Clan genetics lab. Suddenly, three mutant Shredder clones emerge from some tubes from the lab. The Turtles and Splinter fight them off and defeat them then they head up through a secret elevator that April found but the Clones go after them so the Turtles and Splinter head up the elevator shaft and cut the cables to the elevator which causes them to lose the clones and make it to a mysterious floor level. After making through a hallway of traps, the Turtles and Splinter find a strange a foggy room where they are attack by five elemental mystic ninjas who use the power of Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Metal. The Turtles try to fight them off but they were no match against them until Splinter takes the Sword and Tengu without the glove and uses it to defeat the Foot Mystics by using their own elements against each other. But in the process of using the sword without the glove, Splinter's hands were injured but he and the Turtles continue on to face the Shredder. April then finds another private elevator that takes them straight to the top of the Foot Clan headquarters where Shredder is. The Turtles are confronted by the Shredder, Hun, and the Foot Elite then they fight off the Foot Elite and Hun. But suddenly, Stockman appears out through the floor in a giant high tech cybernetic mech suit where Shredder believes Stockman will use to fight the Turtles and Splinter. However, Stockman reveals that he didn't built the mech suit to help Shredder but to destroy him as revenge for cutting off his body parts and the Turtles and Splinter for getting in the way. Stockman attacks everyone around using the weapons on his mech suit which seems unstoppable and is able to beat Shredder then faces off against the Turtles and Splinter. But every time they find a way to beat Stockman and prepare to face the Shredder, Stockman would just return because of the many additions he made to the mech suit until Donatello defeats him by blowing him up using one of his suit own weapons against him. With Stockman gone, the Turtles and Splinter fight off Shredder but during the fight, Splinter gets injured but Leonardo is able to get him to safety then goes to help the other Turtles fight off Shredder. Leonardo then puts on the glove and wields the Sword of Tengu against the Shredder so Shredder sends out his Foot Ninja to attack the Turtles while Leonardo faces off against the Shredder and the Foot Elite. The Turtles are able to defeat both the Foot Ninjas and the Foot Elite but Leonardo loses the Sword of Tengu, a fire starts, and then Shredder sends out more Foot Ninjas until the Guardian who helped Leonardo before arrives along with other Guardians. The Guardians fight off the Foot Ninjas but Shredder gets the Sword of Tengu which powers him up. The Turtles fight off Shredder and Leonardo is able to get back the Sword of Tengu which he uses to defeat Shredder by cutting his head off with it just as the Guardians defeat the Foot Ninjas. After the Guardians leave, the Turtles use the Sword of Tengu on the weapon from Stockman's mech suit to fry up everything in the Foot Clan headquarters which destroys the Sword of Tengu in the process.

### Aftermath

With the Turtles thinking that Shredder is gone, they go to get Master Splinter find that he has mysteriously disappeared and left behind his walking stick. The Turtles then leave on a Foot Clan helicopter when the authorities arrive then they go to find Splinter. However, what the Turtles didn't know was that somehow the Shredder survived his apparent decapitation and gets his cut off head back. Soon the Turtles would find out that Splinter was taken by the Guardian who were working for Shredder's enemies which were a group of squid-like aliens called the Utroms. But when the Turtles tried to get Splinter back they were teleported into space where they got caught up in the Triceraton-Federation War then they were teleported back to Earth by the Utroms where they and Splinter explained everything to them. But then the Shredder and the Foot Clan returned in the Attack on TCRI and tried to destroy the Utrom but the Turtles saved them and even learned about the Shredder's true identity as well. Turtles would still continue on to fight the Shredder and the Foot Clan even after they had set up a new mansion-like headquarters until the Final Shredder Battle.
