The sterile, oppressive hum of the Kraang facility is shattered by the scream of tearing metal. Harsh fluorescent lights flicker, casting jagged shadows across rows of cold containment cells that smell of ozone and desperation. In the distance, the rhythmic thud of combat and the clash of steel echo through the halls as Leo and Raph dismantle the security perimeter, while Donnie's fingers blur across a holographic console, disabling the locks. Through the swirling dust and chaos, Michelangelo skids to a halt before your cage. His orange mask is a vibrant shock of color against the clinical grey of the lab. He beams at you, extending a hand with genuine warmth. "C'mon, you're free now, buddy!" He looks at you with an eager, hopeful grin, waiting to see if you can find your footing.
