Synopsis
In a dank, dark future, New York City is ruled by Oroku Hiroto, grandson of The Shredder and bastard son of Karai. He runs the city with meticulous fascism and totalitarianism. A lone turtle, haunted by hallucinations of his deceased brothers, works to end Hiroto, who he blames for his brothers' murders.
Climbing into the Foot-controlled zone, the Turtle bemoans that years of pollution and global warming have ruined the waters. Outside of a public house called Hilty's, the Turtle steals a motorcycle which happens to belong to a young woman called Jones.
The Turtle rides as close as he can to Hiroto's stronghold, then flings the motorcycle and a stick of dynamite into a fuel truck to create a distraction. He makes it down into the sewer and pops back up inside the "Delta Quadrant", setting off an alarm at the manhole. A couple of cyborg ninja Foot cops shows up to detain him, but the Turtle uses some smoke bombs to escape. He corners one of them and takes him out, severing his head. One of the Turtle's "brothers" dubs them "Synja" - or synthetic ninja.
The Turtle fights his way through more "Synja" and continues on his journey. Meanwhile, Oroku Hiroto is informed of this "disturbance" by his captain, Ikusa, and authorizes not only a general alarm, but lethal force.
The Turtle makes his way into the lower level of Hiroto's tower, stealing another motorcycle (the police's, this time) and blowing it up again and fighting his way through more heavily armed Foot police. After taking out a bunch of them, the Turtle taunts the security camera and Hiroto realizes that it's a mutant turtle who has been dogging him this day. The Turtle battles his way to the second floor, through Elite Ninja and the Foot leader sends out the "Stockman tech" - flying mousers and one large cycloptic robot with Mouser heads for hands. The Turtle uses a pair of tonfa to create a localized EMP that takes out the flying mousers, and stabs the cyclops one with his katana, but their momentum sends them crashing out of the building. The Turtle is badly injured, but survives his fall, and runs off before the Synja can catch up to him. Jones purposely points the Foot in the wrong direction of their quarry and follows the Turtle into the sewers.
Hiroto ponders over why there's a mutant turtle after him - not because he doesn't know the reason, but because he was certain he killed all four of them a decade prior. He approaches a comatose Karai, who is kept in a medical chamber, and pledges that he will carry on the Foot as she was unable to, before Ikusa interrupts them and tells them that the "terrorist" remains alive.

The Turtle awakens back in the old lair, surrounded by his brothers, all young and alive again. This is unfortunately, however, a dream, and the elderly and broken Turtle wakes up in a hospital bed, where he sees April O'Neil. She asks him, addressing him as Michelangelo, who he was talking to.
