Yes, pizza sounds very appetizing right now. With pepperoni. And karma.

So much danger, never wanted this for them.
Splinter, I cannot meditate with you muttering like that. Besides my butt has fallen asleep.
My apologies, Ancient One. But the Ninja Tribunal troubles me more each day, I cannot allow their foolish judgment to cost me my family. Not again.
Your sons are capable, sort of.
Um, hello we're like five feet away. How about showing a little tack.
Master Splinter, when you say the Ninja Tribunal cost you your family. What are you talking about?
I am talking about my beloved Master Yoshi and of a time in the past. Yoshi-san was a guardian then, pledged to protect the Utroms. He came to alist the Ninja Tribunal's aid.
(In a flashback where Yoshi and Ancient One are visiting the Tribunal)
Yoshi was my prized pupil and he assisted on becoming a guardian.
YYoshi
My lords, we must form an alliance. The Shredder's threat is beyond imagining!
CChikara
This alien bug imposter you called the Shredder, it's nothing to us. He is not the real Shredder!
YYoshi
Do not underestimate him, he may even the channel the evil of the one you fear.
KKon
This distraction, we must remain vigilance against the return of the True Shredder.
Masters, please reconsider.
KKon
We have spoken, go now and trouble us no more.
The mighty Ninja Tribunal ignored my master's warnings. And because of the Tribunal's call in difference, one of the countless victims of the Utrom Shredder would be my Master Yoshi. And the Tribunal did nothing.
(In a flashback where the Utrom Shredder had slain Master Yoshi)
Nothing, have the Tribunal heeded Yoshi. My master might be alive today.
(Splinter sheds a tear)
The Tribunal sees a bigger picture than we do, Splinter. At least I hope they do.
Is anybody going to tell us what the shell is going on here?
Real Shredder, True Shredder, Utrom Shredder.
How many Shredders are there?
My sons, it is time you know the true story of how this all began. Of an evil darker than all evils, a primal force of malevolence that was and is the Original Shredder.
No one really knows what level of the dark depths spawned him.
(The story begins in Yamato, Ancient Japan)
But back in the year 300 AD in Yamato. The Shredder rose from some foul stinking pit, in the form of a terrible tengu.
(People are running as the Shredder Tengu destroys everything in its path)
An demon that had but one goal to subjugate the world and to turn it into his own personal empire, ruled in agony and destruction.
(In the Lap of the Gods temple)
The Shredder Tengu spread his evil everywhere, he seems unstoppable. There were five great warriors in Japan in that time. Their courage and their victories were legendary.
And you young punts already have the honor of meeting them. There was Hisomi. Chikara.
Juto.
Kon. And perhaps the most skilled and ambitious of them all, Oroku Saki.
Saki, Shredder's fake human identity. He was real?
Don't interrupt, Leonardo. Just listen, so these five great warriors were summoned before the Emperor, who informed them. They were the world's last hope.
Whoa, no pressure or anything.
(The Emperor shows them their enchanted armors)
The Empire's greatest craftsmen had forged armor for the warriors. Special armor engraved with protective spells and talismans of purity. Armor they will soon wear into battle against the evil Shredder Tengu.
(The five warriors went out to battle the Shredder)
This fight overwhelming them, they refused to give up. They have vowed to fight until the very end.
Saki's attacks were the most savage, the most damaging.
(The battle was victorious when Oroku Saki delivered the final blow)
OSOroku Saki
I am Oroku Saki, demon! Let my name be the last sound you hear!
It was he who finished the demon.
(A celebration of the five warriors begins)
The Emperor held a great celebration and decree that the warriors would be known as the Five Dragons. There could be no higher honor.
He awarded them their own banner. The Three-Toed Sign of the Dragon, but the celebration was premature.
(Back in the battle was Saki was about to finish the demon)
Saki's battle with the Tengu had been spot on law of the physical plane.
OSOroku Saki
I am Oroku Saki, demon!
STShredder Tengu
There is greatest in you warrior, I can make you a god among these insects. Every wish fulfilled, every dream made real. You can rule all, have all, just around me inside your soul. And the world will be yours!
The demon's words ignited some dark part of Saki, he accepted the offer.
(The demon's spirit is transferring into Saki's body)
Invisibly, the Shredder's evil spirit merged with Saki's so as even as the warrior landed the final blow. The tengu was only an empty vessel. The dark spirit of the Shredder had filled Oroku Saki and now he was host to the greatest evil the world had ever known.
(Oroku Saki laughs evilly)
Oroku Saki's betrayal plunged Japan into an age of darkness. The malevolent essence of the Shredder swelled within him and all around him. There's seem no limit to the evil of which he was capable.
(The Shredder use his powers to destroy Japan and build an impenetrable stronghold)
