Hey guys, its Sparky with a braaannndd new story! Well it was supposed to be written last year but had no time and *sheepishly* I forgot. Anyway, this story was inspired by The Dragons Clutches by DiamondHeart31 who I have permission from to write my own version of their story. Anyway, Casey do the disclaimer.

Casey: Sparky doesn't own TMNT or any of the characters used.

Me: I hope you all enjoy please remember to read and review

Casey Jones, the vigilante skull masked hockey guy was upset. Everyone thought he was dumb, that all he did was flirt with April and yell at the top off his lungs while getting in the way of Donnie working on his inventions. Ok, sure he did do that but he was much more, he wasn't a complete idiot, he did help with the invention of the turtle racer to defeat the speed demon. April was cool but he wasn't head over heels with her, or Karai for that matter, it was all an act. He wasn't some idiot who got kept back a year in high school, he was actually a couple of months older than Mikey which made him the second youngest but due to him being quite tall every assumed otherwise. Now, why act like this? Well that's what you're going to find out soon enough but this is the story of when everyone saw him for who he was.

The team were all out on patrol. Leo with Donnie, Mikey with April and Casey with Raph. Donnie and April both sighed in relief, Donnie glad April wouldn't be left alone with Casey and April glad to be with Mikey rather than Casey. As for Casey, he fists bumped with Raph and the set off, clear instructions from Leo telling them where to go and to alert the others on their T phones should they encounter anyone. Soon enough Raph and Casey were surrounded by foot bots having the time of their lives smashing them up to pieces. "Im gonna get more than you Raphy!" Yelled Casey swinging his bat and hockey stick, taking out three foot bots. "You're dreamin Jones!" Yelled the red masked turtle as he sprang into action taking as many as he could. Suddenly Xever jumped down along with Bebop and Rocksteady "Great more freaks!" Said Casey and charged at them but his hockey stick instantly shattered on contact of the rhino's horn "ha take that little boy" said Rocksteady and they both fought though it was more one sided. Raph meanwhile was caught up in fighting the fish and the pig. Pulling out his phone he alerted Leo, puts phone away and twirls his sai's. "I've had just about enough of you Fish face" Ignoring the annoyed yell off "Its Xever!" He tackled him and cut off his metal legs stopping him from moving and leaving him looking exactly what he was, a fish out of water.

Turning his attention to the pig, he realised was not in sight. "Raph" Looking up he saw his brothers and April but no Casey. Leo face palmed "Raph go help Casey" Raph found his human friend fighting both Bebop and Rocksteady and doing not so good against them, he swung out with his tazer but they seemed to doge it and were throwing him around like a doll (or action figure as Leo called it). Throwing his shuriken at both idiots they fled and he helped up Casey "C'mon Casey let's get you fixed up." With that they went back to the lair and sat down drinking hot chocolate as Casey went to clean himself up. "I can't believe he got thrashed by two of the weakest enemies ever, Tigerclaw I understand but seriously he wasn't even fighting" Said Leo breaking the silence. "He beat the foot bots, as much as I did and he held his own pretty well" Said Raph angrily trying to defend his friend. "And he wasn't raised like us Leo, to be ninja's" than April spoke "Neither did I yet I can hold my own in a fight." "She's right, he's just interested in flirting" Said Karai. "Hey Casey's awesome dudes!" Interrupted Mikey but was met with laughter by Donnie "That guy? The same guy who can't even pass school and look after his family during the invasion."

Unknown to them the topic off their conversation could hear everything that they said and he felt his heart break, tears in his eyes. Looking away he saw Splinter, the disappointment on the old ninja's face and he ran, ran and ran to go home, or at least he would have if he wasn't ambushed by Purple dragons. "Well if it isn't the punk" Turning around Casey saw the last person he wanted to see right now. "Hun." Splinter tried to call out to stop Casey. He had herd everything and was very disappointed in his children, yes to him all of them were his children and all he could do know was ask his dear wife Tang Shen to watch over their son.

So, how was it? Stay tuned for more XXX Sparky
