The Turtles are teleported back to Earth with Professor Honeycutt by the Utroms and they're reunited with Master Splinter. The Utroms take the Turtles and Splinter to the oracle pod chamber, a virtual reality simulation that chronicles historical events. Inside the chamber, the Turtles are transported to feudal era Japan where they learn of the Utroms crash-landing on Earth. It is here, they encounter an early incarnation of the Foot Clan led by a look-alike of The Shredder.
