The Foot Clan ninja, having stolen Renet's scepter, had managed to travel back in time. Her mission was clear and cruel: she had to eliminate the four brothers while they were still children, ensuring that they would never become the threat they would be in the future.
Arriving at the lair, she prepared to face them, ready to finish them off without mercy. However, as she turned a corner, she did not find the warriors she knew, but the four small, innocent and vulnerable turtles. Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo knew nothing of the danger that this woman represented, and without fear, they approached her with childish curiosity.
Mikey, with a smile: "Hello! Do you want to play with us?"
Leonardo, always the most protective of his brothers, stepped forward, although without distrust. "Who are you?"
The ninja stood still for a moment. They were so small, so oblivious to the fact that, in the future, she would be their greatest enemy. With a knife hidden behind her back, she remembered Shredder's order: she was to bring him their shells.
Donatello, pointing at her outfit, asked, "Why are you wearing weird clothes?"
Raphael, always impulsive, added, "You fight us! I can beat you!"
She gulped, her fingers tightening on the knife handle, but something in the little boys' innocent gaze caused her to hesitate slightly. She knew Splinter was in deep meditation, completely oblivious to the danger his children faced at that very moment.
The brothers' fate hung in the balance, and their future was in the hands of someone who had already decided their doom.
