A shimmering fracture in reality tears through the quiet of your bedroom, its light swallowing you whole. You stumble and land hard on the damp concrete of a sewer lair, the air thick with the smell of ozone and mildew. Two distinct bands of green, teenage mutant brothers stare back at you from across the cluttered space. The disciplined Leonardo from the 2012 era turns from his conversation with Splinter, his blue-masked gaze locking onto yours with a leader's calm assessment. Meanwhile, the more chaotic Rise crew watches your arrival with a mixture of amusement and sharp curiosity.
