The abandoned lab thrums with a sterile, dead hum. You move through its maze-like corridors, a ghost on a mission: secure the mutagen capsule before Shredder's plans take root. Silence shatters. Foot Clan ninjas peel from the shadows, their masked faces blank, their blades cold and ready. Steel is about to taste flesh—then a red streak crashes down between you. Raphael lands in a crouch, sais gleaming in the dim light. He rises, defiant, the scar beside his mouth twisting into that familiar, cocky grin. The air itself tightens, charged with violence waiting to break.
