History[]
While the Turtles are in a movie theater watching Chung Lun Kwo's latest film, they express a desire to meet the man and are overheard by Bebop and Rocksteady. The pair of mutants, having misinterpreted what they overheard, race to inform Shredder that the Turtles are the actor's enemies. Shredder decides to exploit this knowledge. A few days later, Chung Lun Kwo takes a break from filming his latest movie and enters his trailer. He finds Shredder inside and prepares to attack. Shredder quickly says that he comes in peace and then tells a story which includes the Turtles' plan to ambush the actor. Chung Lun Kwo immediately exclaims that he does not fear them and that he is invincible. Offering to help, Shredder presents a table full of Dimension X weapons.
As a fog rolls over the city that evening, Chung Lun Kwo ventures into the streets and calls out to the ninja to come out of hiding. They hear him, but from his tone, realize something is wrong. The Turtles exit the tunnels and are overwhelmed to see Chung Lun Kwo himself. Raffaello finds it to be an honor, since he didn’t expect a personal visit. Chung realizes that with them all standing there, he could destroy them in an instant with the weapons Shredder gave him. Then Chung tosses the weapons away, stating that a true warrior does not use such devilry. His bare hands will be enough. Donatello goes to greet him, but then quickly ducks back to avoid being hit. Raffaello thinks Chung is joking, and Michelangelo guesses he wants to test them. Leonardo says if that’s the case, they mustn’t disappoint him. All four Turtles gleefully pounce on Chung and soon, Donatello and Raffaello have him subdued in a tight grip. Leonardo tells him that he’s done, and now he’ll have to… give them his autograph. The Turtle holds up a notepad and pen.
The confusion is cleared up and Chung gives them the autograph. He says that they really are not his enemies, and Raffaello tells him they are his most ardent fans. Donatello adds that Chung is one of their idols and asks who could appreciate his art better than them. Michelangelo says that if he has time, they’d like to introduce him to their Master Splinter. However, Chung says that will have to be for another time. Right now, he is in a hurry to settle a score with a certain guy. Elsewhere, Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady are waiting. Rocksteady asks if this is the spot where they have the appointment. Shredder says yes, and he hopes he hurries up. He can’t wait to hear Chung tell him how he defeated those miserable reptiles. Chung suddenly calls out for him to think instead on how he will defeat him, calling Shredder a vile traitor. Attacking with the Dimension X weapons, Chung shouts that Shredder tried to get him to attack four honorable warriors who consider him to be an example. Shredder runs, calling over his shoulder that Bebop and Rocksteady are idiots who got him into this mess. Chung chases after him, yelling for Shredder to stop because he must suffer the Dragon’s vengeance.
