Leonardo looked at Raph. He thought for a moment and then said. "You're right Raph, we all deserve an explanation from these Tribunals before we go any further. This is way too similar to when Shredder tryed to get me to join him." Leo gnashed his teeth together just think about it.

The blue Tribunal walked near Leonardo and Raph. "Very well then..... I just hope that what I am about to say does not cloud your thinking. This Tribunal is the last of the original Foot Clan. Long ago, when that Utrom killed the real Oroku Saki and took over, everything took a turn for the worst. Although, I can't imagine that the events could have been less tainted, becasue the real Oroku Saki was becoming more corrupt as the days went by. He had become overly power hungry in that he knew he would live forever.
He had found a fountain of youth. We had all thought that such a well was only a legend. Allas, it was indeed real, and Saki shared this with me and the other 3 Tribunals. We are all immortal, unable to age. However, this did not mean we could not be killed. As I learned of the now immortal Saki's plans to try and enslave all of Japan for his bididng, the other Tribunals and I were planning on stopping him trough a battle. Before this happened the Utrom arrived with a very powerful sword, known as "the Sword of Tengu." He killed the real Oroku Saki and posed as him, taking over the Foot Clan. His power was too much for us, so the other Tribunals and I fled, going into hiding for years. There was nothing we could do.
Now the Mystics, arriving from the land known as New York are free. They have arrived here in Japan searching for any traces of the real Oroku Saki. If they find even the area where he was killed, they will attepmt to use their powers to bring him back to life. I'm not sure they have prefected this art, but if they have, and if they succed the world shall be doomed. Not only will they bring him back to life, but their plan involves the fussion of them all into one, maybe even unstoppable, being."

All of this information at once was almost too much for Leonardo's mind. His mouth was wide open. All he could say was "I understand......" Even now he was still unsure if he could completely trust the Tribunal or not. By this time they had finaly reached the temple. The other Tribunals came to the front of the line. They took gems from their cloaks and placed each one in a different slot. The door to the temple opened. "Follow us" the blue Tribunal told everyone.
