 HEY, KID, YOU'RE 
 A LONG WAY 
 FROM NICKTOONS! 

Some TMNT stuff was always meant for grownups.

Mashima was a Foot Mystic who was, along with The Shredder clone, the main antagonist of the Worms of Madness storyline, and a helpful force in The Bait.

History[]

Mashima was present at the Turtles' cremation of Oroku Saki, casting the start of a spell that would help him enact revenge on the Turtles. He took a worm from Saki's corpse and took it back with him. He then swallowed it, allowing him to mystically meld with the entire colony. Meanwhile, Saki's severed head was eaten by a shark swimming in the harbor.

Now merged with the shark, Saki headed to the sewers, ambushed the Turtles, and took Splinter captive. Saki took Splinter back to the industrial district, insisting on Saki taking over the rat's body instead of just killing him like he wanted. The Turtles, transported and empowered by Pai-Doth Noor, interrupted the ceremony, freeing Splinter, and causing disruption in Mashima's spell. In his last moments of clarity, Saki grabbed Mashima into himself, and fell into the harbor.

Some time later, Splinter sensed some vile presence from the ocean, as well as nearby. Casey Jones suddenly runs in and declares that the Foot Clan had kidnapped Shadow. The two of them race to rescue Jones' daughter. As they corner the Foot, the Shark Shredder clone arrives, with Mashima's consciousness inside. Mashima, however, finds Saki's actions deplorable and dishonorable, as he means to harm an innocent child. Mashima and Splinter join minds so that the former can hold back the Shredder's control. With Saki under psychic assault, Jones thrashes the Shredder, and the three of them together put an end to Saki once and for all. As Mashima is dying as well, he asks Splinter for forgiveness, and Splinter accepts.
