The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have simply ended a war that has spanned the many years solely to seek out themselves proper in the midst of a brand new one. The upcoming elections in Mutant City are being preceded by a significant political rally to drum up assist for anybody aside from the Mutanimals, and that has hit one of many Turtles’ oldest villains like a ton of bricks. Previous Hob has slowly been coming round to the concept his outdated techniques simply do not work anymore, to the purpose that his newfound self-awareness may even see him rebranded as one thing of a hero. Sadly, the Mutanimals themselves don’t have any intention of following go well with, and one in every of Hob’s most trusted lieutenants has simply determined that it is time for a violent regime change.

All the Turtles are on edge in anticipation of the upcoming rally and the chance that one thing may go flawed. Between Mayor Stockman’s current assault on April O’Neil and the overwhelming assist for Sally Pleasure’s anti-Mutanimals platform, there are many causes for the Splinter Clan to be on excessive alert.

Dozens of Mutanimal enforcers start to march in the direction of the middle of city, a lot to Previous Hob’s shock, contemplating the chief of the Mutanimals by no means ordered an assault. Herman the hermit crab informs Hob that his lieutenant, Man Ray, was really the one who gave the order, which Herman and the others assumed had come from the highest. An enraged Hob can solely hope that his enforcers will return to headquarters when referred to as again, an unlikely state of affairs contemplating that the rally quickly devolves into all-out battle between the Mutanimals and the Turtles.

This state of affairs is not only a slight in opposition to Hob on Man Ray’s half, however extra doubtless an efficient usurping of his throne. Hob has definitely been main the Mutanimals in a distinct course recently, or at the least maintaining them on a shorter leash than standard whereas he involves phrases with what it really means to be the unhealthy man. His current displays of empathy and compassion have been small in comparison with the atrocities he has dedicated up to now, though that does not take away from the significance of his efforts to be higher.

If the remainder of Mutant City’s residents cannot separate him from what the Mutanimals are doing now, that fame may very properly be one which he by no means has any hope of escaping.

On the identical time, this may very well be Hob’s likelihood to face in opposition to the violent mutants which have stepped out from beneath his purview. If he does, even Sally Pleasure may have the ability to see the glimmer of heroism hiding behind Hob’s gruff exterior.
