The Ninja Turtles silently patrolled the rooftops of New York, the night wind blowing their bandanas as they watched the streets for trouble. Everything seemed peaceful but they knew to never let their guard down.

Leonardo heard a faint rustling behind him, barely a whisper in the darkness. Before he could react, he felt a strong pressure around his neck. A short rope tightened tightly, and he was dragged backwards, falling to his knees. A female figure had launched herself at his shell, holding him with her legs as the rope choked Leonardo with every passing second.

“Leo!” Raphael shouted, turning quickly at the sight of his brother in trouble.

Leonardo desperately tried to free himself, his hands struggling to get rid of the rope. The woman dodged every attempt. Her legs were firmly gripped to his plastron, immobilizing him.

“Are you surprised, turtle?” the woman muttered. "I've waited a long time for this."

With his strength weakening, Leonardo tried to reach for the katanas, but he couldn't break free. His brothers prepared to intervene, but the woman's precision and ability to maneuver over Leonardo made any movement difficult.

As Leonardo struggled to breathe, he managed to use all his strength to change his tactics. With a quick movement of his arms, he grabbed the woman by the thighs and, in an unexpected twist, lifted her above his head. She clung even tighter to her position, with her legs around Leonardo's shell and her body close to his face, involuntarily pressing him into an uncomfortable position.

Leonardo felt the woman's closeness, her firm thighs on his shoulders and her uneven breathing. Although his instinct was to break free as soon as possible, the physical closeness disconcerted him for an instant. But he couldn't allow himself to hesitate; he was in the middle of a fight for his life.

"Leo, let her go!" Raphael shouted, confused by the strange position they were in.
