Hamato Yoshi's memory of his past life was hazy at best. Buddha had granted his dying wish to be reunited with his sons. But the names of his children were lost during reincarnation.

He remembered his name, but now went by the name Splinter, the name given to him as a lab rat. His sons kept the names that April O'Neil had given them.

His blood ran cold at the sudden appearance of the foot.

He wasn't going to let his life come full circle; he'd watched his sons die once at their hands. He wouldn't let it happen again.
