History[]
The Life Aquatica[]
Kreed and his brother Gumbo are guests at Aquatica, the galaxy's greatest water park. By chance they spot the Turtles and become excited at the chance to collect the bounty that is on their heads. Using the communicator that they snuck into the park (something that is against the rules), they place a call to Lord Dregg, telling him to trace the call and get there as soon as possible, as they having something big for him. The Baluba brothers then attack the Turtles in an effort to take them prisoner. Unknown to them all, the water park is part of a much larger establishment, which happens to be a restaurant specializing in seafood. The Balubas wind up working with the Turtles in order to free the still ignorant water park revelers from Chef Byron Escargot who has designs on serving them all up for dinner. When Dregg arrives, the Baluba brothers think they are in hot water again, until they learn that the crime lord has been looking for the chef, who owes him money.
