As Benny and the turtles wandered through the forest, they stumbled upon a hidden village. But something was terribly wrong. The once-vibrant village was in ruins, smoke still rising from the houses. The villagers were devastated, for they had just been raided by the fearsome Barbary Pirates, who took everything they had. Benny, feeling compassion for the villagers, decided to help them rebuild their homes and restore their joy. With the turtles following close behind, Benny approached the villagers and offered his assistance. Though skeptical at first, they saw the kindness in his eyes and allowed him to help.
