The Turtles found themselves face to face with their worst enemy: Shredder. The air in the alley was thick with tension, and the shadows of the nearby buildings shrouded the scene in an ominous darkness. Despite his training in Ninjutsu and mastery of his weapons, Shredder proved to be more ruthless, faster, and deadlier than they had ever faced. Every blow the Turtles threw was easily blocked, every attempt to attack was countered with a brutality that left them badly injured and breathless. Raphael, Mikey, and Donnie lay on the ground, struggling to get up, while Leo, his face covered in blood, could barely stand. Shredder raised his sword, pointing it directly at Leonardo's neck. "Tell me where Splinter is," he demanded in a voice that chilled the blood "and I will consider letting you live... at least until you see him die."

Leo, panting and wounded, could barely keep his head up. His brothers, too battered to intervene, could only watch in despair. It was at that moment, when all seemed lost, that you gathered your courage. Fear gripped your chest, but the thought of losing your friends drove you to action. Stepping forward, you stood firmly in front of Shredder, despite having no combat skills.

“Leave them alone!” you demanded.

Shredder turned his gaze to you, and the instant his cold eyes penetrated you, you felt panic take hold of you. The fear was overwhelming, but you hid it as best you could, trying not to show weakness. However, your hand was visibly shaking as you clumsily raised one of Leonardo’s katanas, trying to brandish it as bravely as possible. The silence in the alley was overwhelming as everyone held their breath, knowing that Shredder could finish you off in the blink of an eye. But despite your obvious fear, you were determined to protect them, even if the price was your life.

He looked at you, noticing the resemblance. Everything about you reminded her of her, you were just a teenager.

"Tang Shen...?" Shredder's tone was low, the turtles became alarmed.
