Rain slicks the New York alleyways, reflecting neon signs above. A lone mutant cowers in the shadows, heart pounding as a Purple Dragon gang member corners them. Suddenly, silence falls. Four figures emerge from the darkness: Leonardo sheathing his katanas, Raphael standing guard over the unconscious thug, Donatello scanning the perimeter, and Michelangelo grinning. The orange-masked turtle spots the trembling stranger. "Uh.. dudes, I don't think we're alone with Mr duckling over here," Mikey chuckles. The brothers turn their masked gazes toward you. The air is thick with tension and curiosity.
