Hello, and welcome to Changed and Betrayed! ^_^ ... Geez that sounded weird. ANYWAY... This story shall mostly be focused around OCs, just to give you prior warning. It's set in a sort of alternate universe of the TMNT, and there will be interaction with official characters (my versions, who will be pretty close to the originals), but mainly with the Dark Turtles. :D Before I ramble more and make you disinterested... here's the first chapter. ^_^ I'll say more after this.
Wolfgang crouched by the small grave, eyes closed. Ludwig was kneeling beside him, and the younger of the two put some flowers on the grave. "Some of her friends said she liked orange lillies," said Ludwig, his voice small. Wolfgang snorted.
"Orange lillies are about hatred. Perhaps I should ask her spirit to embroider one on my jacket," he said scathingly. Ludwig seemed to shrink. "Why do we keep coming back here, Lud? It's not like coming back and giving her flowers is gonna bring her back after that monster killed her!"
"But Wolfgang-"
"Let's go." Wolfgang stood, and Ludwig carefully rearranged the flowers before also standing.
"Do you think we should leave them a note, telling them where we buried her?" Wolfgang shook his head.
"No, they'd dig her up and move her. We'd never find her again." Ludwig remained quiet, choosing not to mention that if Wolfgang didn't want to visit their mother's grave, why would he be worried about her being moved?

Pravus fumed, stomping around in the wreckage of his lab. His wife had betrayed him for those creatures, and then they had the gall to save her remains from being lost in the chaos of the lab being destroyed! He'd have to destroy them. There was no way they could be allowed to live. But there was now a problem, in trying to take the experiments from him, his wife had removed his tracking chips from them. He now had no way to quickly find them.
He paused, looking down at the twisted remains of the table where he had ended her life in front of the two experiments. Perhaps he could find them quickly. He knew for sure that the Purple Dragons were greedy, and didn't always do work for 'the Shredder'. Sometimes they'd accept jobs from other people. He smiled, adjusting his monocle. Perhaps he'd be able to retrieve the experiments after all. Didn't all fathers want to check up on their sons?

The two mutant turtles stalked into their temporary hideout, each of them skillfully dodging the red-headed crane who ran towards them, causing the bird to crash into the door, effectively shutting it. "Ow... Why'd you do that? The invisible squirrels could have got me!" As per usual, Wolfgang ignored Brad, while Ludwig gave Brad an apologetic look and hurried after his big brother.
"Lillet, found anything on Pravus's whereabouts?" Lillet, a blind wolf, shook her head.
"I cannot detect his aura anywhere near where we've been checking. However, we will find him, your future says that much."
"How much of it have you seen?"
"Not much, I have told you this before. I only know that you will meet him again."
"Do you know if I manage to kill him?" asked Wolfgang, a smirk sliding onto his face. Ludwig sighed and went over to his broken old video game system that the late Lumen Pravus had given him.
"No, your aura cannot tell me that yet." Wolfgang uttered a muffled curse and sat down on a crate.
"Will we have to move again soon?"
"No! I just finished making sure the squirrels couldn't find us here!" cried Brad. Once again, he was ignored.
"Possibly, depending on what choices you make tonight, we might have to, and we might not."
"Ya know, I really hate it when things hinge on MY choices," growled Wolfgang, getting up. "I'm gonna go bash some heads."
"What if that's the choice that makes us have to move?" asked Brad. Wolfgang leaned far into Brad's personal space, gray eyes hard.
"Then we'll just have to move. Unless you want me to stay here and bash your head?"
"N-no! That's p-perfectly fine!" said Brad, nervously laughing. "The Purple Dragons'd be happy to see you I'm sure!" Wolfgang straightened and stalked out of the warehouse, swinging his shell off and leaving it by the door.
"Hey Ludwig! Use it if someone comes by," he called. Ludwig nodded, and Brad took the discarded shell over to the younger turtle.
"Do you think he'll be okay? I still don't think it's a good idea for him to go out without his shell..."
"His ability to remove his shell did save your life last week, Brad," pointed out Lillet, blind eyes gazing at them, pinpointing their locations by their auras.
"I know, but it still unnerves me. Shouldn't turtles be unable to remove their shells or something?"
"My brother isn't a normal turtle," said Ludwig, smiling.

Wolfgang smirked as he looked at the Purple Dragons below. Taking them out would be way too easy. He sighed and shook his head, dragging his hand over his face. He needed a challenge, the dragons never stood long enough before him. But at least he got some amusement out of the exercise. He dropped down behind them, landing with a thud. Yup, he'd never get an A plus in a stealth test. "So, what are you idiots up to this time, hmm?" he asked, stepping forward, sliding his knuckle dusters on. "Something stupid that you'll be caught for almost at once as usual?"
"Perhaps you could assist us with that," said a voice. Wolfgang spun.
"Well well, I didn't expect you to be here, Hun."
"I have an offer for you," said Hun.
"And it's something only a brainless idiot would accept, isn't it?"
"No, it's something only a smart person would accept. You see, we Purple Dragons get paid very well. We know you need money, why else would some of my dragons have seen you scavenging?" Wolfgang's eyes narrowed.
"I'm not quite sure why you'd be extending this offer to me. I've been beating your gang up for a month."
"We need someone who can stand up to four nuisances who have been bothering us for far longer."
"Who would those 'nuisances' be?"
"The ninja turtles," said Hun. "If you need even more persuasion..." The Purple Dragon leader waved his hand and one of his minions passed him a suitcase, which he oppened. "In this case is ten thousand dollars that you can have as long as you agree to work for us as long as we want. Do we have a deal?" he held out his huge hand. Wolfgang hesitated.
"What's the catch in this?" he asked.
"You'd have to wear your jacket far more often, because all Purple Dragon members have a tattoo." Wolfgang sighed.
"If I come to regret this, Hun, I'm going to use my spiked knuckle dusters on your face." Hun smirked as Wolfgang shook his hand.
"Gentlemen, let us take Wolfgang for his membership tests."

Ludwig frowned, worried. "Wolfgang's been gone for an awful long time..." Lillet smiled.
"Only two hours, Ludwig. It just seems longer to you because your gaming system is broken and you cannot play your games on it."
"Yeah, I'll have to ask Wolfgang to take me to the junkyard to see if I can find anything to possibly fix it with-"
"Think fast, Ludwig!" Ludwig's hand shot up and caught a brand new DS.
"What the-? Where did you get this?"
"I bought it for you," said Wolfgang, shrugging. "I got myself a job." Brad choked on the noodles he'd managed to get.
"You what?" he squawked after he recovered.
"I got a job, what's so surprisin' about that?" asked Wolfgang, narrowing his eyes.
"It means Pravus might be able to track you down faster!" growled Brad. Wolfgang smiled slightly.
"I'll be fine." And indeed, he would be. He had discovered that Pravus had tried to bribe them into searching for him and his group, but Hun had declined after Wolfgang agreed to join. His arm was still burning and itching from receiving the tattoo. Lillet could read this from his aura, but she was loyal to him, and would say nothing unless he gave her permission, which she knew she didn't. "I got us some stuff to eat too," he said, handing out a sushi tray. Ludwig's eyes widened.
"A new DS and sushi? You're the best bro!" Wolfgang's expression softened for a moment, then hardened again and a smirk wormed its way onto his face.
"Come on and eat already, before Brad scarfs it down." Indeed, Brad was almost choking in his haste to consume the food, Lillet was having a hard time from restraining him from dumping it down his throat.

Hun smiled as he watched his Purple Dragons unloading the spoils from their latest robbery. He could tell that their newest recruit, who he had learned was named Wolfgang, was not quite happy with robbery. Hun's smile changed to a smirk as the white turtle helped unload the items. His men were still wary of Wolfgang, due to the fact that he'd clobbered all of them at least once, but they'd get over it, just as soon as they realized Wolfgang would do practically anything they asked so he could ensure the comfort of those he cared for. Hun turned, smirk still on his face. He looked forward to seeing what his men would treat Wolfgang like when they figured that out.
Should I mention that Pravus will change his plans quite a few times? O_o And should I mention that he's-
Wolfgang: THAT would be a spoiler.
Spoilsport. -_- Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this first chapter! :D I'll post the second chapter soon, and I'm working on the third. ^_^ If ya wanna see some ideas I have for future characters in this, just check out my deviantArt (IvyShadow is my name on there). :3 Read and review please! ^_^
Disclaimer: The Purple Dragons and Hun aren't owned by me, there'd be serious trouble if they were. Wolfgang, Pravus, Brad, Lillet, and Ludwig are owned by me, as is Lumen Pravus. Nintendo owns the DS, and I'm not exactly sure who I would say owns sushi... o_O
