Dear diary. On Friday I had a job, a fiancee, a home, and a life that made sense. Then I found an injured girl bleeding on the pavement, and I tried to be a Good Samaritan.

"There's an old saying that "no good deed goes unpunished". Well, we thought we did a whole lot of good that time we eliminated the Shredder. And... that... other time we eliminated the Shredder. And... the time after that. Am I forgetting one? The point is: now, with Shredder out of the picture, the Mob, the Foot and the Purple Dragons are all duking it out for control of his empire.

Still, we had to do something. So, we tracked down the reminiscent of the Foot's rundown flophouse. We were about to take them down when this big, honking robot shows up and starts shooting up the whole place! So much for our good deed."
— Michelangelo Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003, "City at War (2)"
