Special Moves:
-Flurry Sword: By pressing an attack button repeatedly, Leo can unleash a flurry of quick slashes.
-Glimmer Sword: Leo swings both swords at once to create an X-shaped energy wave. It's short-ranged, but will inflict two hits on impact instead of one.
-Shellshocker: Leo shoulder tackles his enemy before kneeing forward with one leg, then performs a spinning jump-kick to knock the enemy to another side of the arena.
-Counter: Leo crosses his swords in an "X" shape and, if his enemy attacks, he will spin around them and slash them, knocking them back.
-Roto Blade: Leo leaps into the air, spinning vertically like a wheel with his swords outstretched. This can be used to cross distances and land multiple hits before Leo lands on the ground.
-Tornado Blade: Leo spins his body in a tight pirouette with his swords outstretched. If timed right, it will neutralize projectile attacks.
Throws
FORWARD: Leo hits the opponent in the midsection with the pommel of one sword, making them double over. He then performs a spinning backhand slash that knocks them to the ground.
BACKWARD: Leo springs on the opponent's shoulders, then jumps off to perform a downward-slash at their back.
Super Moves:
-Sword of Tengu: Leo swaps his twin ninjaken for a strange and alien-looking katana. For a brief period of time, his attack strength, speed, and range increases, and he will hit twice for every one hit he lands.
-Turtle Power!!!: Leonardo gets a glint in his eye and he rushes the opponent with his swords swinging. If he lands, he will repeatedly slash the opponent a total of nine times, finishing with a diagonal slash that grounds his opponent.
FATALITIES:
-Slice 'Em Up!: Leo performs a V-shaped slash that removes the opponent's hands, leaving them with bloody stumps in their place. As the opponent stares in shock and agony, Leo performs a leaping spin-slash with his swords outstretched, causing the opponent's head to flip into the air. When Leo lands, the head lands too, followed shortly by the opponent's body.
-Leo the Impaler: Leo slashes the opponent's legs, causing them to fall on their knees, then stabs them through the chest before maneuvering around them and kicking them in the back. The opponent falls on their face, propped up by the swords, then slide down the length, the two blades protruding from their back.
Intro: A manhole cover shakes a few times, then flies off as Leonardo springs out. On landing, he draws his ninjaken swords and points the one in his right hand at his opponent.
Outro: Leo sheathes his swords, then gives a thumbs'-up before hopping down a manhole.

_________________________________________________________________________________________
Prologue: After a scouting mission with his fellow Ninja Turtles, Leonardo reported to Master Splinter of strange activity in the alleyways of New York. These activities included odd portal-like anomalies. Not wanting to risk danger to New York or the world itself, the Turtles went forth into a new world, but wound up separated in the strange world of Death Battle.
Rival Cutscene:
(Leonardo slowly makes his way down a sewer pathway)
Leonardo: Man, everyone sure wants a piece of me, don't they? I'm either very good or very lucky to make it this far...
(Leo takes another step, but suddenly staggers back as the entire sewer seems to quake)
Leo: What the shell was that?!
(The right wall just in front of him suddenly cracks as another tremor rocks the sewer. Then the wall explodes outward and Leo, following his instincts, leaps backward just as a giant fist slams onto the ground he was on moments ago)
Leo: Oh no, that'd better not be who I think it is.
(the dust settles, revealing none other than the leader of the Battletoads, Zitz)
Zitz: Well, well, I thought I heard familiar voices down here!
Leo: You again. (draws swords) Didn't you learn your lesson last time?
Zitz: I let my guard down once, turtle-boy, but that ain't happenin' again! This time, I'm beatin' you to a pulp!
Leo: I guess there's no way around it. Why don't you put your money where your mouth is, froggy (takes battle pose)?
Zitz: (puts up dukes) That's TOAD, numbskull!
Ending: Despite all odds, Leo emerged from the tournament victorious. He returned home to New York with his brothers, resulting in Splinter's approval and satisfaction. Being the one on top, Leo earned the title of "Grandmaster Shinobi" and would be a first step in the acceptance of both mutant and mutagenic alike. Even Raph was impressed (albeit begrudgingly).
