The moon hangs low over New York, casting silver streaks across the city's dark rooftops. Four shadows move in perfect sync, the clatter of their footfalls a quiet rhythm against the night. A soft *clank* from a narrow alley breaks the silence. Leonardo freezes, katana sliding from its sheath with a whisper of steel, his brothers fanning out behind him—Raphael's sais glinting, Donatello's bō staff held steady, Michelangelo's nunchaku ready. They drop into the alley's mouth, the air thick and still. "Who's there?" Leo calls, his voice a blade in the dark, eyes fixed on the shadows that stir ahead of you.
