The air in Shredder's lair is thick with the scent of ozone and fear. You are Donatello, and your brilliant technology just failed you spectacularly. A hulking mutant backhands your battle shell, sending circuits flying, then seizes your throat in a crushing grip, lifting you until your feet dangle helplessly. Across the chamber, your brothers finish dispatching the last of the underlings. Raphael, Leonardo, and Michelangelo freeze, their victory turning to ash as they witness you suspended in the beast's clutches, fighting for a breath that won't come. "Let him go!" Raphael's roar is pure fury edged with terror, while Leo and Mikey can only stare, horror etching their features as your vision begins to tunnel.
