Story

• The story begins with the ninja turtles and Splinter in disguises on a secret boat that is heading to Japan for Splinter to claim control of the Foot Clan. Splinter reminds the TMNT that they will be on their own without Splinter.
• Ranmaru's mother takes Ranmaru to work at his uncle Irezumi Kanji/Tattoo's pet shop for the rest of the summer break because Ranmaru is tricking people into doing his work. Tattoo teaches Ranmaru about how to take care of the animals and how to clean up after them. Ranmaru tries to make excuses for not wanting to work. But Tattoo says that Ranmaru is just suffering from the heat.
• Sometime later, Gamera battles the Spasmosaur in the Japanese bay. During the fight Tattoo and Ranmaru get all the animals in the pet shop into the basement to bring all of them to safety, while the two of them hide in the closet. Gamera kills the Spasmosaur using his fire stream. Gamera then flies away. After that, Tattoo and Ranmaru put up all the animal pets to their areas.
• After Ranmaru returns the last escape pet to Tattoo, he hears a commotion in the alley. There he witnesses four human-sized turtles fighting robots of some kind. But then, suddenly he gets caught by a giant, talking rat wearing Japanese clothing. After the four turtles destroyed all the robots the talking rat reveals that Ranmaru was spying. Ranmaru swears to not tell anyone if the turtles don't kill him. As the turtles think about what to do with Ranmaru, the rat suggest revealing themselves since Ranmaru swears to not tell anyone. The four turtles reveal their names as Leo, Donnie, Raph, and Mikey. The giant rat mutant reveals himself as Splinter. He tells his back story when he was once a human name Hahen Ryuki who was an orphan with Oroku Saki. The two of them were taken in by a man named Himato Yoshi and trained the two of the art of ninja of the Foot Clan. One day, Hahen and Oroku fell in love with one woman. But the woman fell in love with Hahen. So out of vengeance, Oroku tried to kill both Hahen and the woman by burning them in their house. Himato was only able to save Hahen and gave him the manuscripts to the Foot Clan, just begore he died from the poison that Oroku implanted from the food Himato ate. Hearing that Oroku was heading to New York for some reason, Hahen followed him. But suddenly he was captured by robots (the same ones the turtles where fighting) and took him to a lab, with four orphan boys. An alien creature named Krang uses the mutagen to turn the four boys into mutant turtles, while turning Hahen into a mutant rat. He and the four turtles were able to escape from the lab and escaped into the sewers. There, Hahen not only renamed himself as Splinter, but also taught the four turtles his knowledge of ninjitsu. Splinter and the four turtles meet new allies and enemies, before they finally killed Oroku/Shredder. After Splinter and the TMNT told their story, they conclude that their reasons for coming to Japan is to regain control of the Foot Clan with the paper of Oroku/Shredder's conspiracy and for Splinter's right to lead the Foot Clan. Ranmaru ask Splinter and the four turtles about who would now protect New York now that Splinter and the four turtles. The four turtles reassure Ranmaru that the Mutanimals will protect New York while the four of them and Splinter are here in Japan. The four turtles and Splinter warn Ranmaru to not get involve, just before they use smoke booms and disappear. Ranmaru remembers where the Foot Clan base in Japan is located and heads towards that location to see how it turns out, just before he runs off to the location. Tatto (who was hiding from behind a wall) heard everything.
• The TMNT and Splinter arrived at Foot Clan's location, which is in a forest of some kind. Ranmaru also appears but hides behind tress to keep himself hidden. The turtles and Splinter talk to the Foot Clan council and shows them the paper of Oroku/Shredder's conspiracy. After their discussion, suddenly giant mousers appear, with Karai on top of one of them. She demands the Foot Clan council to hand over an ancient rock of some kind. But the Foot Clan council and ninjas refuse her demand. So, the Foot Clan ninjas, the TMNT, and Splinter prepare themselves for battle. While the turtles and Splinter fight Kari, the foot clan ninjas fight off the giant mousers, but having trouble fighting them due to the giant mousers' size. Then suddenly Gamera appears and fights the giant mousers. But during the giant battle, the shrine where the ancient rock is hidden in gets destroyed, revealing the ancient. Gamera notices Ranmaru hiding behind trees and protects him from the giant mousers, getting himself injured by the mousers really bad. The TMNT notices Gamera protecting Ranmuru and rescue Ranmura. Noticing that Ranmaru is safe, Gamera was able to finish of the remaining giant mousers with no problem. But he's weakened from the fight and goes down onto the ground. While the TMNT and Splinter check on Ranmaru, Kari was able to receive the ancient rock sense the Foot Clan ninjas are heavily injured and/or died from the battle against the giant mousers. Kari contacts Krang that she has redrive the ancient rock. Happy to hear the news, Krang teleports himself to where Kari is located by using his portal gate, while also bringing along Granitor and Traag to district the TMNT and Splinter. After Kari hands Krang the ancient rock Krang revels that he's just using Kari, just like how Oroku Saki was using Kari. He even shows her a hologram recording of Krang and Oroku having a conversation about Kari, which it reveals that Oroku would have no use for Kari after she served her purpose. He Kari goes on her knees and sheds tears from her eyes. Krang then reveals that he was also using Oroku for his own gain. Ranmaru heard everything that Krang said, making Ranmaru realize what he's been doing by tricking people into doing his work. Ramaru angerly rushes towards Krang. But Krang managed to retreat back to the Technodrone through the portal gate. Granitor and Traag pin down Ranmaru and force the TMNT and Splinter to surrender. But the two of them lose their guard and are grabbed by Gamera. He crushes the two rock warriors into pieces. As the TMNT and Splinter check Ranmaru he starts having concerns for Gamera. Suddenly Tatto appears and analyzes Gamera and says that Gamera needs to be at Mount Fuji to be back in full health. The Foot Clan Council recognize Tatto as a member of the Foot Clan. Tattoo explains to Ranmaru, Splinter, and the TMNT that after Oroku toke over the Foot Clan Tattoo hid himself from the Foot Clan and made his own pet shop to remain undetected. Now that Splinter is being recognized as the head of the Foot Clan by the council, he revealed himself. Donnie's detection device shows that Krang's technodrone is detected at a Japanese coastline. Leo suggests using their mech to attack the technodrone. They also allow Ranmaru and Tattoo to us their transportation devices to use them to teleport Ranmaru, Splinter, Tattoo, and Gamera to Mount Fuji, especially since the transportation devices are for "HUGE" emergencies. Kari decides to come along with Ranmaru, Splinter, Tattoo, and Gamera to Mount Fuji, since she's familiar to the secret shrine of the Foot Clan. After the five of them are transported to Mount Fuji, Donnie teleports the turtle mechs near where they're located. The TMNT rushed towards their mechs and prepare for their titanic battle against Krang.
• Back at Mount Fuji Ranmaru, Splinter, Tatto, Kari, and Gamera arrived at the secret shrine of the Foot Clan. Gamera heads towards the lava pools. Ranmaru is concerned about Gamera's wellbeing. But Tatto reassures Ranmaru that Gamera will be just fine. As the four of them look around the ruins, Kari notices some wall painting of two giant beings fighting each other. Splinter recognize the two giant beings as the Demon Shredder and Daimajin. He starts telling them the story about how in ancient times the Demon Shredder terrorize Japan. A Japanese clan used the ancient rock to create the Daimajin statue to defeat the Demon Shredder. But in order to give the statue life. a priestess offered her life so that Daimajin will come to life. Daimajin was able to kill the Demon Shredder. Daimajin not only turned back into a statue. Splinter concludes that the Japanese Clan called themselves the Foot Clan after Daimajin's giant foot, and that the Daimajin statue disappears. Kari mentions that the ancient rock is the same rock that Krang has his hands on, and that Daimajin might be somewhere near the shrine. As Splinter, Kari, and Tattoo look around the shrine from the outside, Ramaru looks around the shrine from the inside. He suddenly stumbles upon a secret entrance that only he can find for some reason. He finds himself in a volcanic cave, where he discovers the Daimajin statue, and where Gamera appears from one of the lava pools. Ranmaru asks Gamera about how to awake the Daimajin statue. Gamera looks towards the platform that's near the Daimajin statue. When Splinter, Tatoo, and Kari go back inside the shrine, they suddenly notice the hidden entrance and realize that Ramaru is missing. Back at the cave Ranmaru confess his wrongdoing to Daimajin, would offer himself to have Majin back to life. As Splinter, Kari, and Tattoo arrived at the cave, Ramaru gets absorbed by the Daimajin statue. The statue's eyes start glowing.
• Back at the technodrone at a Japanese bay, Krang talks to himself that his ancestors tried to take over Earth but were thwarted by the guardian kaiju of Earth. By now that has the ancient rock, he can create his rock titan, just before he begins the process of making his rock titan. Suddenly the alarm turns on and a screen of some kind reveals the turtles in their mechs are heading towards the technodrone. He turns on the technodrone's defenses, just before he continues creating his rock titan. The turtles where able to destroy all the technodrone's defenses. But they're too late to stop Krang, as Krang finishes creating the rock titan. Krang orders his rock titan to destroy the turtles. The TMNT have trouble fighting the rock titan in their separate mechs. So, the TMNT combined their mechs into the turtle mecha. The TMNT were able to get the upper hand against the rock titan by using the turtle mecha. But suddenly Krang merges with the rock titan, becoming the Krang Titan. He was able to get the upper hand against the turtle mecha. As things start to get grime for the TMNT. when all of a sudden, they notice Gamera flying towards them, while carrying Daimajin by the shoulders. He gently drops Daimajin on the ground and carefully puts Splinter, Tattoo, Kari, and Ranmaru on the turtle mecha's hand. The four of the go inside the cockpits where the TMNT are piloting the turtle mecha (Kari with Leo, Splinter with Donnie, Tattoo with Mikey, and Ranmaru with Raph). As Gamera, Daimajin, and everyone else in the turtle mecha get ready to fight, Krang Titan states that no one can stop him, just before they clash. Even though their battle against Titan Krang was tough, the willpower and spirit of the five of them gives them the power to destroy the body of the rock titan. Krang (still gigantic in size) tries to escape. But Gamera was able to incinerate Krang into ashes. After the battle, Daimajin starts crumbling into pieces and his spirit goes up towards the sky. Ranmaru explains to everyone that after he was absorbed into Daimajin the spirit of the Japanese priestess tells Ranmaru that his time isn't, forcing Ranmaru out of Daimajin and onto Gamera's hand. Mikey suggest that Gamera should the fifth TMNT. But the other three TMNT remind Mikey that Tokka is the fifth TMNT. Mikey decided to make Gamera as the sixth TMNT, then states that he's out of fingers. Gamera roars in triumph. Mikey thinks that it's a yes for being the sixth TMNT. Gamera flies back to Mount Fuji. Everyone says their goodbyes to Gamera.
• The epilogue shows the TMNT returning to New York in the mechs, confident that they can live without Splinter (but can still visit him on available times). Splinter, Kari, and Tattoo reestablish the Foot Clan and freed it from Oroku's influence. And Ranmaru now runs Tattoo's pet, learning to not let others do his work for them. Gamera is seen flying above the skies of Japan.
