There have been many tales of glorious warfare, of despotic slavery and of superiority complexes in this forum that I have seen.
For now, I decided to attempt another approach.
This is the story of how some Turtles, banished from their ancient homeworld, strive to return home and settle the score with the neglectful precursors that removed them in the first place...Humanity.
But I am already ahead of myself, let me begin at the moment of abandonment....

It was warm. That he still remembered. A warm, watery darkness had surrounded him for quite some time.
He still remembered some weird two-legged rosy thing stuffing him into this darkness after capturing him, even if he did not know why.
But he didn't worry about that yet. He had more than enough time, and things were pleasant so far.
He could still bite himself out if he got bored, hungry, or both.
Around his dark abode, he heard loud noises. Probably more of those rosy things? He briefly wondered what they were planning to do with him.
An even louder noise made the others be quiet. It roared on and on, things that he did not understand. The noises from the others became cheerier, more motivated. He wondered if that was his fault.
Suddenly, his captor opened his prison and grabbed him by his shell. raising him high above it's head, it roared something more specific, something he would later learn to understand through technology not his own.
"DEATH TO THE PRESIDENT! FREEDOM TO AMERICA!" the Human roared, then he was thrown through the air, towards another Human with a ridiculous mane, whose pitiful jaws fell open as he approached. Almost as if it wanted to snap him, in a delicious twist of the usual process.
"Grand Alpha? they are waiting for you..." he heard another voice grumble next to him, and the Alpha Turtle opened it's eyes to look at his second, a fellow Snapping Turtle such as him.
He shook his mighty head and snapped at him, more out of habit than genuine hostility.
The second understood the gesture, bowed his head and made a step back while the Alpha stood up and walked slowly towards the window.
Back then, he had been naught but a tool, but now...
He opened the window and looked upon the masses of fellow ascended Snapping Turtles on the shore, looking up to their Alpha.
Now he had a planet of followers...nay, brothers. And they knew what their goal was.
"Citizens of the Nation of Turtles!" He bellowed and raised his thick, somewhat stubby arms. The people cheered until he and his troops surrounding them called them back to order.
"WE have been waiting for this day for over a hundred years! The day we would achieve the knowledge we need.
The Day we achieve the technology we need.
The Day we can finally Start our VENGEANCE upon those that wronged us!"
Another frenetic bout of jubilation as he pointed towards the starships nearby, waiting for liftoff.
"Citizens! No...My Brethren!" He took in a deep breath of the salty air of this planet. "It is time...to end our exile from Earth! LIFT OFF, BROTHERS!" He waved at the ships, and after an endless three seconds, the infernal sound of starting Thrusters exploded over the masses as the Corvettes threw themselves into the air into the higher orbit of Turtlania.
This was their fate...
This was their destiny...
And they would stop at nothing to eradicate the Humans.
That was his will, thought the Alpha. That was what Trumpeater, the Glorious Alpha Turtle of this decade, and all his people wanted.
A stellar Nation and Earth.
