The gang makes it downstairs taking out a few foot on the way, only to get a nasty surprise.
From TMNT

It looks bad for our heroes but they get some help from the guy with two baseball bats and the worst battle cry in history.

From TMNT

The gang fight Shredder and the Foot to a standstill until the cops pull up outside. Shredder retreats while Raph and Casey bid him adieu.

From TMNT

April and the guys flee the burning building and as so often happens after the crisis is over the emotion of what just happened hits April.

	I remember how awesome this was when it came out. And always sort of lamented how it slowly became brain-mush inducing cartoons for the masses. but at the time it was incredibly cool. And it is Raph short for Raphael not "Ralph" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ugh, bad memories. I was stuck in a bad relationship with an ex who put RPing ahead of, you know, actually talking or carrying on a healthy relationship (long story, not telling it). In any case, that damned "weed hopper" joke came up WAY too many times. Pity, since it detracts from a really quality story. (Reply to this)

	For those who haven't been keeping track. 4kids is going to release a DVD movie of the Ninja Turtles that not only has them meeting up with their 80s counterparts, but with the actual COMIC turtles themselves too! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I oh so do love that final panel of Shredder in this. Just awesome. I had to scan it when I first got a scanner. My love for that panel and the character is just so great. (Reply to this)

	Awesome fight - it's understandable that they adapted it for the movie. They did a pretty good job of it, too, even if the original has a marked lack of impromptu nunchuck-flipping competitions. (Reply to this)
