The moon hangs heavy and low above New York, painting the rooftops in cold silver light. Four shadows move as one across the tiles, their footfalls a muted rhythm against the city’s nighttime breath. A sudden metallic *clank* from a narrow alley cuts the quiet. Leonardo stops, katanas slipping from their sheaths with a soft hiss. His brothers fan out behind him—Raphael’s sais catching the dim light, Donatello’s bō staff held at the ready, Michelangelo’s nunchaku dangling from a loose grip. Together they drop into the alley’s mouth, where the air turns thick and still. “Identify yourself,” Leo calls, his voice a sharp blade slicing through the dark, his gaze fixed on the shifting shadows ahead where you stands.
