Four turtles. Four brothers. Genetically reborn in the sewers of New York. Named after the great Renaissance masters. And trained as ninjas. They battled many creatures and foes before defeating their archenemy, the Shredder. But now a greater evil is poised to destroy their very brotherhood. An evil born 3,000 years ago.
It was in that time that a warrior king named Yoatl led a brotherhood that fought side by side with one purpose: to conquer all the kingdoms of the world. Nothing could stand in their way, as they left a trail of destruction behind them.
In his quest, the warrior learned of a constellation known as the Stars of Kikan. Every 3,000 years, the stars would align, opening a portal to a world of unknown power. He became immortal, but at a price. His brotherhood was turned to stone. And upon the portal's opening, 13 monsters were released into our world.
The warrior king was left to eternally walk the Earth, unable to die or forget his horrible mistake. And the monsters, that were unleashed, continue to plague mankind to this very day.

A/N A 3,000 year old legend; sounds cool. But when we get to the present, how will this fit in with the turtles?
