It was a dark, foggy night, when the Shredder, the leader of the Foot Clan, sent Linalee on a mission to seek out the turtles underground. Linalee was their Elite Kunoichi, with Karai second. Karai was like her sister to her, until she got mutated into a giant serpent. Linalee was raised with her, fed with her, trained with her, and she was heartbroken with Karai gone. Also, having the Shredder constantly be angry isn't fun for anyone, especially Bradford, Xever, and TigerClaw. They were his henchmen, and now it was Linalee's turn.

Shredder found Linalee behind a dumpster in Japan, and took care of her and trained her to be a Kunoichi with Karai. There were times when Karai was jealous of her skill. But they never let that get between their friendship. While Karai was in New York, Linalee look care of the Foot Clan in Japan. They had no unnecessary fighting in Japan, and Linalee always wondered what was happening in New York. Shredder visited sometimes and called to check on her. She told him that everything was going alright and that she hoped to go over to New York. Ever since the Krang has invaded, the whole troops of Foot Clan Ninjas were moved to Shredders location. He needed them for the search for Karai. Then Linalee found out the truth about Karai.

Linalee searched the sewers alone, because she could handle the mutants by herself. She heard talking down the tunnel and hide on some pipes above the tunnel archway. As they walked closer, she saw the turtles, and April O'Neil. She didn't look like a threat, but then again, Shredder didn't care about innocents.

April stopped and clutched her head. "Guys," she said. "We're not alone."

Linalee dropped down to the ground and approached them. She wore a black suit with metal plates on her shoulders, forearms, chest, thighs and calves. She hid her ninja stars and blinding powder in her left sleeve, and had her ninja foot clan fan hanging on her waist. She was relatively good looking, with her long black hair that went down all the way to her butt.

"Who are you?"Leonardo asked.

"Someone who wants to help." Linalee said. She needs to set things right, even if it means defying Shredder.

"You really think we're going to trust a Foot Clan Kunoichi? You're crazy," Raphael yelled. He lunged at her with his sies, but Linalee easily dodged and tripped him.

"I want to help. I need to find Karai, she's like a sister to me. I need her back."

"How will we know you'll not go behind our backs?"Leonardo asked.

"I promise."

"Are you serious Leo? You're trusting her?" Raphael asked angrily.

"We're going to have to trust her for now, we'll see it coming first," Donatello explained.

April smiled. "We can trust her, I sense her being honest."

"Freaky!" Mikey laughed.

"We'll talk more at the Pizzaria. Let's go." Leo started walking.

"Great, we're taking Shredders Elite Kunoichi to our SECRET PIZZERIA? This is nuts." Raphael grunted.

"I understand that you don't trust me, but I need to find Karai, even if it means going behind Shredders back. He is a coward, faking her being his daughter. I will do anything to get her back." Linalee sighed. "Please, I mean you no harm."

And then for the first time, Raphael smiled at her.
