With the numerous attacks by mutants all over the city, local eccentric billionaire A. J. Howard has hired Dirk Savage, a professional mutant hunter to capture all the mutants. The Turtles are enraged by Dirk Savage, but Splinter advises them that an enemy might come to their aid. However, this is just a ploy, because as it turns out, A. J. is a mutant. The first part of his plan is for him to turn the captured mutants as his personal soldiers, then he wants to convert all humans into mutants. When the Turtles learn of this, they need to enlist Dirk Savage's help to defeat Howard. Together the Turtles and Dirk Savage foil A.J. Howard's plan to enslave New York City.
