"So Bishop, you have been the guy behind managing the entire city?" Michelangelo curiously asked the Utrom in the heavy exosuit.

"Yes, Michealangelo. And vast stretches of the surrounding land as well. Initially after the Mutagen Bomb explosion, I was all by myself. But many EPF survived and it wasn't long before we managed to meet again. We came together and resurrected our organisation, and I was appointed the President to rule over the various Mutants who came to like us and wanted us to protect them. We may have had a hard time, but we will not stop protecting the earth, just like the old days." Bishop said in response.

"Its good to have you back, Bishop." Leonardo said with a smile on his face as he placed his giant hand on the even bigger metallic shoulder that Bishop's giant robot body possessed.

"You too, Leonardo." Bishop said in response as the group of six continued to walk through the city, with various mutants curiously observing them. Normally, Bishop wouldn't freely walk among his people, due to his daily routine causing him to be busy, but this was a special case. He was finally re-united with the four turtles whom he had known for so long. This meant a lot to him.

"Never thought that you'd be the president of an entire nation someday." Donatello said to the Utrom. "Do you ever get Mutants trying to threaten and take over the city?"

"Yes, Donatello. There is no shortage of Mutants trying to threaten our way of life." Bishop said in response. "But our armies our strong, and our cause is just. No matter how hard they try, they will never have the power to actually defeat us. Our weapons and technology far outwit anything they have in store for us."

"You never know, it's a rough world out there. I've seen a lot when it was just me and Don." Raphael added as he continued to walk through the city along with Bishop and his family.

"Tell me about it. Until I met you guys, life was savage out there. My whole family had been wiped out, and some days, I did not feel like carrying on." Mira said in response to the conversation.

"We are now your family, Mira." Leonardo said in response as the Mutant Meerkat sat on his shoulder for comfort. Being extra-ordinarily large, Leonardo had absolutely no problem walking while Mira sat on his shoulder.

"Who else survived?" Bishop asked the turtles.

"Well, there's Ice-Cream Kitty and Chompy. Ice-Cream Kitty is young and frozen as ever, despite how hot it gets, but Chompy is much bigger than I ever imagined." Michelangelo said in response cheerfully as he loved both pets, as did all of the brothers. "But other than that, naddah. We haven't met a single soul whom we recognized from the old days."

"Interesting." Bishop said in response.

"What about you Bishop? I'm sure you might've come across some familiar faces from the past." Donatello asked the Utrom.

"Not too many Donatello, but there are certainly faces from the past whom I recognize." Bishop said in response to the robotic turtle.

And Just as he said this, Bishop instantly went into high-alert mode as he sensed a threat nearby.

"Get your weapons ready." Bishop said with no delay. The turtles and the surrounding EPF soldiers complied with no hesitation.

"What is it?" Raphael asked the Utrom.

"They're here." Bishop said in response, not specificying who it was. And it didn't for his question to remain unanswered, for two giant Mutants were soon charging for our group of heroes, having snuck into the city somehow.

The two mutants were extremely large and burly, covered in intimidating armour that only reinforced their thick hides. One was a Blood-Red Bull with the horns that was were almost as long as his arms, while the other was a mole who could dig into the ground so fast, that it gave the illusion of him turning invisible.

"Groundchuck have you right where he want you, old Bishop!" The bull said with rage induced excitement in his voice as he charged for the Utrom warrior like a bullet.

Bishop stood his ground as the Bull got closer, not flinching in the least. He then used his powerful robotic hands to grab the terrifying Mutant by the horns, holding his ground while the Bull tried his best to get him off his feet.

Bishop may have had a firm hold on one Mutant, but that still left the other for the turtles and the EPF soldiers to deal with. The giant Mole wasted no time in digging his way underground picking off the EPF soldiers one by one, sucking them into the sandy earth. He kept this up at a remarkably quick pace, until only the turtles and Mira were left to fend for themselves.

"Come on, Ninjas. We can take this freak." Leonardo said as he clenched his fists in preparation.

Just as he said this, he felt himself being dragged by two giant hands that firmly latched onto his feet.

The other turtles and Mira quickly responded by attacking the pair of hands, but every time it let go, it only went onto grab another turtles' feet.

The turtles were getting exhausted, and knew they had to come up with a solution quickly. The giant mutant mole had the advantage in speed, so they obviously couldn't outpace him, so had to use some other method. At this point, it was only Mira's high speed that matched the mole, which was keeping the group afloat.

But before the Giant Mutant Mole could secure his victory, Bishop fired his powerful laser blaster into the sand, scoring a direct hit. Having already incapacitated the bull, Bishop was now free again and effortlessly took care of his companion, using his powerful grip to drag the now unconscious mole from the ground.

"Who are these guys?" Michelangelo asked, just widely staring at them and still short of breath from his encounter.

"Foot Mutants, always trying to attack us. These two in particular have been a nuisance. They call themselves Groundchuck and Dirtbag." Bishop said in response.

"That's my job, naming Mutants!" Michelangelo added, a bit irritated.

"The Foot, huh?" Leonardo remarked. "Never thought that those guys would stick around for this long."

"I never did either Leonardo." Bishop replied. "But they are here, and there are far too many of them. It was during Shinigami's reign of terror 50 years ago, that she had many of her Foot soldiers experimented upon with Mutagen. Although her death had stopped things for a while, this army of mutants remained in the shadows, re-emerging after the bomb."

"Then it seems their friends might just be dropping by to say hello." Raphael said as he looked into the distance.'

"We have to step up our game, guys." Donatello said in response. "If one mutant gave us so much trouble, just imagine an entire army of these guys."

"Don't worry turtles. I know you still have it, after all those stories you told me." Mira said in response, her voice full of optimism "You just gotta focus, and you'll be super ninjas, just like the old days."

"You know what, she's right." Leonardo said in response as he looked at his brothers. "All we need are our weapons, and our spirits, and there is nothing we can't overcome."

"I can get that arranged for." Bishop added. "It won't take long for the locals to make your replicas of your old weapons."

"Thanks Bishop." Leonardo said in response.

"I can hear the Foot coming now." Michelangelo said as he focused on his hearing with his eyes closed. "This is our chance to show them what us turtles are made of!"

"Booyakasha." Raphael said to himself with a slight smile on his face, as he, his brothers, Mira and Bishop prepared for the epic battle that was about to come upon them.

Meanwhile, having finished his conversation with Leonardo, Bishop then looked upon the two unconscious mutants, Groundchuck and Dirtbag, while the turtles and Mira were busy in their own banter. Looking at them, Bishop's facial expressions seemed to express that he had idea, although nobody knew what that idea was. Bishop then spoke to one of his EPF soldiers:

"Take both of these Mutants to the maximum security prison, and not the one inside the city. I want Groundchuck and Dirtbag to be locked away beyond our borders." Bishop said to his loyal follower.

"But sir, that's only for the absolute worst of criminals. These two aren't even that dangerous." The EPF soldier said in response.

"That is not a request, soldier. It's an order." Bishop added, with a tone of authority present in his voice.

"Yes, master." The EPF soldier replied in hesitation, with him and his fellow soldiers using their strength to carry the two unconscious Mutants away from the city, where they would be locked away.

"And now, the Foot shall know my true power." Bishop said to himself, as he ensured that he was sufficiently equipped for the battle that lay ahead.
