OK, ready?

Spoiler:

Set in the midst of "City at War", we get the story of a young man named Tomi going on his initiation trial to join the Foot. His mother disapproves, as his father was a Foot soldier killed in duty, and would rather him use his talents and pursue a career in music; however, young Tomi is eager to join the ranks of the Foot, since it is "family tradition."

He dons his fathers gear and sets off for his first adventure with the brotherhood. Once at the location he is briefed that tonight they will be ambushing their foes, whom they have been spying on.

Unbeknownst to the Foot, though, is the Turtles have been tracking them as well. Keeping one step ahead of the Foot, the guys set themselves up for confrontation on a rooftop. Raph gets antsy wanting to kick some ass -er, Foot, Leo and Don keep busy on reconaissance, while Mike keeps an eye out for danger.

The moment of truth for the new recruits occur as their leader commands them to strike! They pour over the rooftop's edges and the battle ensues. Leo tells the guys not to get too overconfident although they are up against rookies, while Don and Mike pop a few heads. The climax happens when Raph is up against two soldiers - Tomi and an unnamed sentry. Two others ambush Raph and hold him as one commands Tomi to kill the beast. Tomi is somewhat in a daze in awe and wonderment as to what these creatures are but quickly snaps to his senses and charges toward Raph with his sword held high. Raph throws the two Foot soldiers pinning him down over his head. Mike calls out for Raph to look behind him and he rolls to the side just in time to miss being sliced in half! The young Foot then takes another slice through the air as Raph ducks and comes up, delivering the fatal blow to Tomi's chest.

Afterward Leo sends out the command to scatter, and the Turtles disappear thanks to Mikey finally getting to use a smoke bomb. Later the Foot soldiers gather around Tomi's lifeless body, the only casualty in their latest skirmish with the "abominations". Two soldiers deliver his corpse, in a bodybag, to his mother's apartment and lie him on the floor. They tell her he died in battle with honor, like his father. Then the cycle begins anew as Tomi's little brother vows to his sobbing mom that he'll "get the guy that did this to Tomi."
