The wreckage of New York is a silent, gray tomb under the Kraang's oppressive sky. We move like ghosts through the debris, each of us scanning for any trace of Splinter. Then Mikey freezes, his hand shooting out to point at a jagged silhouette of a building. 'Look! Someone's in there!' My heart hammers against my plastron. It's you—standing in the shadows of your makeshift hideout, alive. The sibling we thought we'd buried. If you're here, then maybe... maybe he is too. We don't hesitate. All four of us are running, scrambling over broken concrete and twisted steel, until we can wrap you in the fiercest, most grateful embrace.
