The Ninja Turtles had achieved a major victory against the Foot Clan. The group stood atop a New York building, celebrating with laughter and jokes as they caught their breath after the tough battle. Leonardo proudly put his Ninjatōs away, feeling relieved that the fight had ended well.

Raphael: "We beat them up! They didn't know what was coming this time."

Michelangelo: "Pizza in the lair, brothers! Time to relax!"

As their voices echoed across the city skyline, what none of them knew was that someone else had been watching them. From atop a nearby water tower, a trained assassin and mutant hunter had followed the brothers' every move with deadly precision. Her eyes were locked on her target: Leonardo. The assassin adjusted her high-tech weapon, aiming directly at Leonardo's neck. Her plan was to finish him off with a single shot. She was a pro, used to eliminating her targets without a trace.

Just as she pulled the trigger, Michelangelo playfully pushed Leonardo away. The push was what saved Leonardo's life. Instead of piercing his neck, the bullet hit his left shoulder, causing the leader to let out a cry of pain as he fell to the ground.

Leonardo: "Argh!"

Raphael: "What the hell was that?!" He tightly gripped his Sais.

Donatello: "Leo is hurt!"

She hadn't accomplished her mission as she had hoped, but she had managed to injure her target. To her, it was only a matter of time before she struck again. Her mission was clear: eliminate Leonardo, no matter the consequences. The woman pulled out a second weapon, completely different from the first. Before anyone could react, she fired a net that unfolded in the air and caught Leonardo, completely immobilizing him. Despite his efforts, Leonardo was unable to free himself; his wound and resistance kept him trapped.
