Destruction of Turtle Trust
Raph barely could believe what he was seeing. The moment he quits checking up on Don and Mona Lisa is the very exact moment Don tries to screw around with her!
"What the HELL is going on here?!" Raph seethed through clenched teeth. Don hastily got up off Mona Lisa and started to explain. He knew it looked bad, but it wasn't what it seemed!
Sure Don liked Mona Lisa too, but he wouldn't stoop that low and take her from Raph. Besides, he had Cleo. While he verbally illustrated along with his hands, Don pointed out how that huge black wire made him trip and fall on Mona Lisa.
But Raph was too angry to believe it and his swelling ire grew stronger every passing second. After witnessing how overly friendly Don and Mona Lisa were for the past several weeks, he wasn't buying anything Don was going to say in his defense.
With his entire body trembling, Raph buried his right fist into Don's stomach, causing him to bow forward. Raph thrust his fist upward into Don's mandible, sending shooting pain throughout his jaw. Then he used his left fist to slam into Don's right eye and his little brother fell to the floor.
Mona Lisa screamed at him to stop, but Raph was so furious that he couldn't. He viciously kicked Don in the gut and sent him into a wall three feet away. He went after him and forced him up.
Raph roared his allegations at Don while the poor purple clad Turtle choked up blood and groaned in terrible pain. But through his throe, Don became angry as well and raised his leg up to kick Raph away.
"I...UGH! I...didn't...do..what you think I did!" Don struggled to say as his jaw pounded in agony. He held his eye, which he knew was turning black and blue. Mona Lisa came to his defense and shouted at Raph.
"I TOLD you that he TRIPPED! He wasn't trying to get me, Raphael! It was an ACCIDENT! I can't believe you'd beat him up over a silly misunderstanding like this! Even if he was trying to charm me, I wouldn't accept! I have feelings only for you!"
As if Mona Lisa's words slapped sense into him, Raph blinked twice as his rage was replaced with worried confusion. Had he been wrong? Was Donnie really not trying to get Mona Lisa afterall? He didn't want to be like Leo and accuse others falsely.
Too upset to speak, he left the Lair immediately. The only other times he let his rage control him like that was when he almost killed Mikey when they were teens then a few years later, Leo. Now he tried to kill Don.
What was becoming of him? He could never forgive himself if he really did kill any of his brothers. For the first time in his life, he was afraid of himself.
That unruly temper of his... It was a monster! He thought back to how Leo dejectedly stared at him after he knocked him down onto his shell with his sai poised, ready to plunge into his face.
He was so angry at Leo for leaving them...him for two years and not even writing letters on the second year. He missed him so much and it seemed like Leo didn't care.
He never told anyone, not even Splinter how he cried for weeks when Leo first left. As much as he loathed his older brother's high and mighty attitude, he still loved him fiercely.
When Leo left for that special training in Central America, Raph kept thinking about when was the last time they had fun together or hugged. He couldn't remember and that hurt him more. Leo's long absence made it worse.
What if he never came back? What if he was killed? Raph didn't say goodbye or anything to Leo when he went. Not knowing if he'd ever see his brother again was what cut into his soul the deepest.
When Leo did finally come back, Raph was beyond bitter and so sore with him that he resented him. That resentment escalated into pure blind hatred until he couldn't take it anymore.
Once they fought on that rooftop for real for the first time in their lives, Raph nearly killed his older brother. The look on Leo's face helped snap him back to his senses and Raph realized how far his rage had taken him.
Disturbed and confused, he ran away from that altercation with tears burning in his eyes. What was wrong with him?! When he made up with Leo, he thought he was back in control and that crazed sightless animosity was caged.
But that wasn't so. It came back again tonight with a dire vengeance. Raph was so lost and bewildered. How could this have happened AGAIN?
After Raph's relationship with Don improved, he felt as if he could be like how Leo was to him, but in a much better light. Don would look up to him and adore him like how Raph did to Leo (though he'd never admit such a thing or show it much either).
Instead, he hurt Don and he felt terrible from it. He already screwed up with Mikey, he couldn't mess up with Don too. He decided it would be best to wait before approaching his little brother to apologize for his misdeeds.
Leo briefly returned to the Lair to get his spare weapons when he noticed how trashed Don was. He immediately began to interrogate him and Don wrote down on a pad of paper what happened to him. Although his jaw wasn't broken, it sure felt like it and he wanted to heal faster by not talking.
"Raph did this to you? WHY?!" Leo cried, quickly getting upset. Mona Lisa came over to explain. Don was in too much pain to take her cast off so she did it herself after Don pointed to where the right tools were. She wasn't helpless afterall.
"Oh, ol' Raph thought Don was trying to steal me away from him. But what really happened was that Don tripped on that big wire over there and fell on me. Raph saw Don on top of me and he went ballistic." she explained.
Leo uttered a disgusted grunt. 'He always goes ballistic...' he thought to himself. He had a terrible desire to scold Raph to death then. He couldn't wait to really lay it into him.
"I'm going topside to look for Raph and get some supplies." Mona Lisa added, going over to where the disguises were kept. Leo protested, offering to get them for her.
But she refused. She wanted to help them since they helped her so much. It was only fair, plus she was a lizard lady, not a jellyfish. She had to find Raph afterall. He probably was getting himself into more trouble. She left moments later and Leo started to lecture Don.
He had to be reminded how important Leo's protection was and maybe now he would believe it. Though Leo was appalled that Raph beat Don up, he also viewed it as deserved punishment for his little brother not wanting Leo's supervision.
"Do you see why I need to be around watching you guys? I can't leave you alone without something bad happening!" Leo shouted, then paused as he lowered his voice.
"Don't think for a second that I don't know that you and Raph are hiding something from me either. I'll find out what it is one way or another." Leo went on and on, chiding relentlessly.
A gold ring around Leo's secondary finger on his left hand shined in the light, irritating Don once more. He had seen that stupid thing on his brother's finger for over a month now and he knew Karai had forced, er, 'given' it to Leo.
Don found it sickening. Karai didn't love Leo! How could he accept her ring and pretend to be his wife like that? She only did it to have a more 'valid' excuse to control Leo. It couldn't be official and there was no way Don would ever agree to being that witch's brother-in-law.
If they had any children, the geeky Turtle would be mortified. Why did Leo always have to succeed where Don failed? It was maddening!
Don would have to be nice to the spawn, otherwise Leo probably would label him instantly as an incredibly bad, uncaring uncle, a black sheep, or in their case, a black Turtle.
Angrily, Don wrote something on the notepad then. He wasn't going to tell him before, but after Raph's unjustified merciless beating, he was given reason to tell Leo everything that happened to him at Area 51.
Don ripped the completed note off the pad and thrust it in Leo's face. The blue clad Turtle read it and bit his tongue. Raph got Don drunk at Area 51 and inadvertently enabled Bishop to experiment on Don?
He suffered ungodly tortures at the hands of Bishop, forced to go into hyper mutation, and then hunted down. He was tortured and humiliated, treated like a lowly ignorant beast. Leo noticed the teary look in his younger brother's eyes and instantly felt terrible.
Here he was yelling and scolding him when Don had gone through horrific ordeal. No wonder he was so indifferent lately! He must have been so hurt and upset and...Leo wasn't there for him.
Feeling incredibly guilty, Leo hugged Don and understood why he didn't want to hug him back. But, it was alright. He would make it up to him by being a more open and understanding brother.
He told him so and saw a small flicker of warmth in Don's eyes for him. To cheer him up, Leo later bribed Mikey to take Don to the local museum to see the new dinosaurs exhibit.
A year's worth of Justice Force comics and chocolate ice cream was enough to get Mikey to do anything, so he happily promised to take Don to the museum once he was feeling better.
Leo would have offered to take Don himself, but he couldn't. If Karai needed help, he didn't want to be forced to leave Don behind in the museum. That wouldn't be what one would call 'making it up' to someone.
Taking on his usual role of being the responsible older brother, he helped Don to his room and went as far to tuck him into bed, which irritated Don like crazy. He waited until Leo left before he flung the covers away from his chin.
'He's doing it AGAIN! I am so sick and tired of being babied!' Don kicked his bed post, but pain forced him to give up on continuing his angry thoughts.
He sank his head into his pillow to try and sleep. Healing was what he needed to do now, not fuss over how Leo was STILL treating him like a kid.
He wondered what Mikey was doing as he overheard the muffled, yet loud crashing and booming sound effects coming from his room.
Mikey was probably playing mind-numbing video games or watching some mind-numbing flick in his room. Oh well. At least Don had a trip to the newest dinosaur exhibit to look forward to.
Downstairs, Leo was supposed to return to the skyscraper, but he stayed in living room of the Lair instead. He wanted to wait for Raph to come back so he could chew him out for getting Don into a situation like that with Bishop.
How could he be so irresponsible like that?! What if Don was killed? That was just like Raph, to be a careless hot-head. Leo felt his anger expand like a thin balloon, ready to pop any second.
But Raph never returned that night and neither did Mona Lisa. Worried that they might be in trouble again, Leo wanted to go look for them. But Karai called on his cel phone and asked him why he hadn't returned to the Foot fortress yet.
Forcing himself not to worry about them, he left a note for Mikey and Don to make sure Raph and Mona Lisa were ok and to call him.
He would have told Mikey directly, but he was playing a new video game he bought the day before and nothing could tear him away from it.
If Leo told him anything, Mikey wouldn't even realize it. He was that heavily into the game. He had said yesterday that he had a lot of fandom to catch up on and so he was doing that as much as he could before Karai summoned him to fight again.
Mikey couldn't believe how many reviews he got from his longest running fanfiction about SuperQuest since he last checked. It was practically close to six hundred reviews!
Being a part-time member of the Justice Force helped get many to read his story along with those who lived and breathed SuperQuest. Mikey was beyond pleased with his fandom base and even thought of starting up his pirate radio show again.
He nearly got busted the last time so many years ago and he decided to lay low for a while. Years have passed and his radio fans were begging him online to start it again. Mikey decided to grant their wish, as soon as Kano was destroyed.
If only the Justice Force could help them, but no. The government ordered them to disband and they went their separate ways. Some of them even lost their super powers, the reasons unknown. They couldn't help even if they wanted to now.
It was like fate didn't want the Justice Force to be around anymore. Mikey always wondered why that was. 'Fate. She is a cruel cold mistress.' Mikey thought as he typed it down as he wrote more of his fic.
"Heh heh! Cruel cold mistress... That's Karai! I could put her into my story, but name her Fate instead. And naturally her boyfriend is green and her closest lackey, a pretend hubby! Hmm... What to call big bro Leo here... I know! Peeping-Lee the Frog Prince! That's great, no one will ever figure out who they really are. HEHEEE!" Mikey laughed to himself as the SuperQuest soundtrack blasted his ears while he typed furiously with glee.
"Ooo! Ooo! New e-mails!" Mikey cried and clicked it open. Lots of them were fan mail asking for different things to be continued from fics to Mikey's radio show and his famous fan artwork series of Transformers.
One was from Angel inviting him to a costume party that was going to happen in three nights from then. He wrote back saying he would come and as a Turtle of course.
Though Mikey didn't love Angel, he did like her alright as a friend and time would tell if his heart would accept her. She was fun to be around afterall and she was always accommodating to him, trying to find the best places where they could hang out.
Like costume parties or night clubs that didn't care if you wore concealing heavy clothing, Angel was good at finding parties at such places.
While Mikey had toned down his excessive drinking habits, he was having some trouble shaking the smoking habit. Angel also had the same problem and together they made a little vow to stop the habit once and for all.
Leo heard Mikey scream loudly with joy over whatever he was watching in his room. He sighed and shook his head, looking at his cel phone. Karai wanted him back and he couldn't disappoint her.
'I can't be babysitting them all the time.' he thought, actually getting tired of playing 'mother hen'. He closed his eyes briefly and silently prayed a fast prayer to Splinter.
'Please Master. Keep my brothers safe while I'm away. Please.' At top of the stairs, he forlornly looked down the hall to his brothers' rooms for a moment and then left.
One late afternoon when Don's injuries were almost healed, April startled the geek Turtle when she came wandering into the Lair. Having not seen her for so long, he went to embrace her and she took this as a positive sign that they weren't sore at her.
"Oh, Don! It's been months since I've seen you!" April cried, hugging him back and then pulled away with a smile. She noticed his black eye and grew concerned.
"What happened to your eye, Don?"
"Oh, that was Raph's doing. It's a long story. Here, sit. I'll get you something to drink." he offered, heading for the kitchen.
"Thanks." She took a seat on the worn couch and looked around the usually quiet Lair. "Uh, where are the guys?"
"Um, I think Mikey's at a party somewhere and ever since Raph gave me this lovely black eye, he's been away. I think he's with Mona Lisa though. And Leo's helping Karai." Don said bitterly.
He didn't know that Raph had been calling Leo from pay phones, telling him not to worry and that he and Mona Lisa were fine. Leo naturally tried to scold him right there and then, but Raph had to cut him off.
He quickly told Leo that he needed to reflect on what he had done to Don and would come back when he was ready. It was an answer that eased Leo's worries, but did not stifle his desires to reprimand Raph later.
"Is something wrong?" April asked, sensing trouble from Don's disgusted tone.
He sighed and decided to fill her in, giving her the short version of what transpired the months before. He even told her about Rose and how she dumped him for being what he was.
April expressed much sympathy, which comforted Don. Her warmth empowered him to finally tell her how much he liked her when they first met. And how much Raph liked her as well.
She seemed a bit surprised to learn about these secret crushes of her long-time green friends. No wonder Don looked so happy whenever she awarded him a kiss here and there.
"You had no idea how much I felt for you, April. I used to lie awake at night thinking about you all the time." Don admitted, gazing into her eyes and touching her hand. She blushed and pulled her hand away.
"That's flattering, but I hope you don't do that anymore, Don. I'm married now." April said, avoiding his eyes. She heard him sigh in defeat.
"I know. I know. I wouldn't have been able to win you anyway. Raph had his eyes set on you and I'd easily lose to him. He'd smack me down so fast, so I gave up. But Raph had to as well. He cares about both you and Casey, so he let you go."
"I never knew..." April breathed, amazed and bit shaken. Her sweet cute 'innocent' Turtle friends had the hots for her? Well, two of them did.
"Anyway, you really hurt Raph when you accused him of harming May." Don told her, making her realize that they were still upset with her on that. "You should apologize to him personally. I don't think he ever got over it. Can't say I blame him either..."
"You're right, Don. You're right." April replied solemnly, looking down at her hands resting in her lap. She clenched her hands into fists and narrowed her eyes. She would make things right again.
"Call me when he gets back and I'll be sure to make it up to him."
"Sure, I'll do that." Don watched her get up from the couch. She paused and turned to look at him. "Donnie, thanks for telling me all this. I'm glad we're still friends."
"You'll always be special to me, April... Er, I mean us." Don added quickly, then grinned charmingly. She left with a smile on her face.
She couldn't wait to tell Casey that things were going to be patched up and there was no need to keep worrying about the guys. They were back! And they were still their friends. Friends to the end.
Spending an entire night partying and drinking caused Mikey to crash for a whole day and night. As Don got ready to go to work, he checked up on his little brother who was still laying in bed.
Don figured Mikey couldn't be that bad off if he was reading his comic books which were strewn all over his bed. "I'm going now, Mikey. If you leave the Lair, keep your cel phone on so our dear sweet older brother Leo can contact us. Ok?"
"Yeah, yeah." Mikey mumbled, thumbing through a special anniversary BugMan issue. He peeked at his older brother and gawked at his holographic purple and pink tassels dangling from his arm pads. Don's belt was also holographic, glittering with purple and pink Yin-Yang symbols
"Dude, that's some flashy stuff you get to wear. Hey! Did that Cleo lady say she needed another dancer yet? I can sure dance up a mean green storm!"
"I didn't ask her. I forgot." Don lied, not wanting to share the spotlight. Cleo might like Mikey better since he could sing too and he couldn't chance that. He wasn't about to share her with anybody. Especially not Mikey.
"Oh come on! I can thrust my hips just as good as you can! Oh please please please, Donnie! Ask her this time! PLEASE!" Mikey cried, loving to be the center of attention.
Where better to get that delicious attention than up on stage in front of many cheering adoring fans? He had to have it! He craved being in the spotlight, being hysterically reverenced. Basking in idol worship was something that made Mikey a very happy terrapin.
"Forget it, Mikey. Cleo can't afford another dancer. Besides, you don't know what else that goes along with this job." Don emphasized how there were some gay guys there that had never met a razor and were extremely hairy. And very friendly to everyone.
Mikey screamed like a girl just thinking about it. Overly hairy people always had scared him. When they were tots, Raph used to tease Mikey by pretending to be a hairball monster that would bury him alive in brown smelly hair so he could be eaten.
Don had helped Raph to make this hairy costume and Raph soaked it in stale river water for hours to get a good funky stink into it. Then Don would distract Mikey while Raph would creep up behind him and smother him in the dirty wet hair.
"Oh, shell! Ugh! GAG! Ok, ok! Screw the whole thing, I ain't interested anymore! I'm gonna just stay here in my room and read my comics where it's safe." Mikey threw his BugMan comic up to his face and shivered.
Hairy anything was a nightmare to him. Master Splinter was ok, he wasn't that overly hairy nor scary, well, most of the time. But anything else, no way. Mikey was scarred for life thanks to Raph.
Don chuckled to himself as he left the Lair. Poor Mikey. So gullible! At work, Don swayed his hips professionally in smooth motions that drove the audience wild.
The purple clad Turtle's seductive dancing was always a hit at the night club and it was something the patrons looked forward to. The glittery sparkling terrapin's sweet moves easily enticed many and word got around, causing more new people to come so they could watch him.
Enough time had passed and Cleo believed Don was good enough to be interviewed by her nephew Bradley. She invited him to come see Don that night at her townhouse. As she led him into her home, she told him someone wanted to meet him.
Taken aback by this, Don hesitated in the mud room. He wasn't keen on meeting a new human just like that. It was too late for Don to escape and when Cleo came to fetch him, he reluctantly followed her into the living room.
The moment Brad saw him, he whipped out a handful of shurikens as he took a fighting stance. "Red Foot Clan Assassin!" he shouted and threw the metal stars at Don. Cleo let out a scream of surprise.
Currently, the Foot Clan was divided into two colors; red and purple. Karai's clan was red, while Kano's was purple and red, but they simply referred it to the purple claw/foot of the dragon to signify that the Purple Dragons were associated with Kano's clan.
Don dodged the attack and tackled Brad to the plush carpet with the length of his bo up against the teen's throat. "Bradley!" Cleo shouted and yanked at Don's shoulder to get him off her nephew.
"Donatello, stop this! He is my nephew! Get off of him!"
"What?!" Don cried, but he obeyed and backed off the kid.
"Aunt Cleo, you never told me that this...'man' was one of Karai's elite assassins!" Brad shouted, feeling betrayed. "He can not be trusted!" Cleo seemed shocked at this news. She never knew that Don was with Karai's clan.
"Is this true, Don?" she asked. Karai was bad news to Cleo's side of people.
"I resigned... I don't want anything to do with Karai. She's a controlling tyrant. I hold no allegiance to her." Don said darkly and he meant it.
"Prove it then, assassin! If you have no loyalty to her clan, then you must show it by aiding OUR side. If you don't, then I will know you are nothing, but LYING Red Foot Clan scum! And then you must be killed..." Brad scowled.
"I can affirm I'm no longer with Karai." Don said, forming a plan quickly. If he could get inside of Kano's forces, he could relay whatever he discovered to his brothers and help Mikey get his revenge and end this silly war once and for all.
Unfortunately, that would be helping Karai too, but Don deemed it alright since once the war was over, then Karai would have no excuse to keep any of his brothers around as her personal slaves.
He could end all this crap once and for all. He wasn't going to be soft on Karai though. He was going to make her sorry for brainwashing Leo into being her eternal lackey and locking him into that stupid oath to make the rest of them her slaves.
"What do you want me to do to prove myself to you?" the purple clad Turtle inquired, hoping it was something he could do without making Leo believe he was a complete traitor to his terrapin brotherhood.
"Do you know of the Isotopes gang?" Brad asked, still suspicious of this Red Foot Clan assassin.
"Yes, they're the ones who killed Kelly Tulken and harass the others at Cleo's night club." Don said, figuring out quickly where this was going. "You want me to kill their leader, right?"
"Aunt Cleo, you were right. He is smart." Brad said, finally bearing a grin. Cleo beamed, happy to please her nephew. If she pleased him, then he would give Kano a good review of her. She would be greatly rewarded if things went well.
"I trust you can find the Isotopes leader without your hand being held, right?" Brad asked then.
"Duh-uhhh." Don couldn't help, but to be sassy. He didn't like people asking if he needed to be babied or not.
"Bring back proof when the job's done and then my boss will test you further. If you pass, Kano will give you your final test. After that, you'll be an elite Purple Foot Clan assassin. And I recommend you strive for that status if you want any respect from us, reptile."
Brad exited the house, leaving his aunt with Don. She gave him strange look, then sighed. Don returned the odd stare. "What it is, Cleo?"
"I... I never knew you used to work for Karai..." Cleo said, feeling uneasy around him. Karai's minions meant death for her family. Her husband and son's plane crash was caused by Karai's Foot ninja afterall...
"I didn't really ever work for her actually." Don pointed out. Cleo went on, explaining how it was Karai's men who helped kill her beloved ones. Don wanted to punish 'Little Miss Shredder' even more then. That monster!
"Don't worry, Cleo. I'll get justice for your family. It's the least I can do for you." Don said, hugging her close. While Cleo was drawn to Don's sexually appealing nature, she didn't love him like a normal person would.
She 'loved' him like how a shallow using person would. She was a very manipulating person, but didn't believe herself to be. She thought she was a decent and normal person actually.
And Don was her very good friend whom she found very profitable to keep around and she wasn't going to give him up for anything...
The next night, Don went to work as usual and after his show was over, Don went to the back rooms to get a drink when he heard a vicious beating going on in the alley outside the rear of the building.
He opened the rear exit door and turned his head to see Jesse getting a royal beat down by those stupid Isotopes gang members again.
Profat-Daddy stood back and watched as his goons Jay and Rally kicked Jesse mercilessly into a brick wall. Don employed his bo staff against their heads after knocking Profat-Daddy out of the way.
Jesse was coughing and wheezing as Don helped him up while asking him if he was alright. The man nodded his head as he shakily clung to Don for support. He was alright now that Don was there.
"You AGAIN!?" Profat-Daddy roared, taking steps to attack Don when the Turtle held up his bo out into the gut of the huge chunky man, stopping him.
"Yes, it's me. Don't you think you did enough when you slaughtered Kelly? Leave this poor man alone!" Don shouted, frowning with his eyes narrowed to thin slits. He testily eyed Jay and Rally as they slowly got back to their feet, groaning and holding their heads.
Profat-Daddy backed up a bit and Don moved his bo away, yet he was waiting for them to attack again. He would make them sorry for harming those who were weaker than them!
"Yo, Profat! Whattya want us to do to this wanna-be hero?" Rally asked, reaching into his back pocket for a switch blade. Jay began to unravel a length of heavy thick chain he had laying on a dumpster. They were going to torture Jesse with it before, but now it would have a different victim.
"Let's take 'im to The One. He'll know what to do with 'im!" Profat-Daddy bellowed, thinking he was doing the right thing. Don had to hold back a grin as he pretended to protest, beseeching for mercy.
"Oh no, NOT him! Don't take me to your dreaded butt-ugly boss! Oh dear!" Don pleaded, cowering and sounding like Professor Honeycutt perfectly. It was so much fun.
Jesse began to beg too, for Don that is. He didn't want the only guy who was sticking up for him to get wasted by The One. Profat-Daddy, Rally, and Jay were no longer interested in Jesse anymore.
They wrapped the chains around Don's hands and his neck, creating a collar. The purple clad Turtle pretended to choke for effect, which scared Jesse to death.
They dragged Don away to their shiny black sports car and sped off, peeling rubber. Jesse wished he could help, but he knew he had no power to do so. Sadly, he hobbled home, feeling horrible and guilty.
Don continued to beg and whine on purpose to get the idiots to think he really was a weakling, not the cunningly clever swift assassin of the shadows that he truly was.
Once at their dinky hideout, Don was thrown into The One's private pool hall. Needing to have the chains removed, he mind tricked The One into giving him 'one last chance at life' by competing instead of blowing his head off instantly.
Don always liked pool next to skateboarding. He was having a lot more fun than he ever did on any of Karai's stale missions. He wished he had 'changed sides' sooner.
The One liked the odds of chance and agreed. Using his keen eyesight and wit, it didn't take much for Don to get most of the balls into the pockets. The One was growing annoyed at losing and stated that he was going to just kill him anyway.
"I hope you can scream fast enough, because..." Don wasted no time reaching the other end of the pool hall where The One stood and swung his bo staff right into the guy's face, causing the leader to fall instantly to the floor.
A small spray of blood littered the pool table. For once this kill wasn't super messy. To finish the job, Don bent down to break the man's neck, an effortless task. At least he didn't have to get covered in blood for this hit.
Don slung the guy over his shoulder and left the room quietly. Despite his stealthy maneuvers, a handful of goons here and there tried to stop him.
He knocked them out instead of slaying and kept going until he was outside. Then he hopped the rooftops to where Brad had told him to bring the proof. Little did he know it was a popular hideout for Purple Dragons.
He was met with much hostility and believing he was set up, Don slaughtered the foolish Dragons that attacked him. Due to the loud commotion, Hun appeared on crutches.
"WHAT?! How'd you find this place, you freak?!" he roared, leaning on a crutch so he could throw a large metal barrel at the purple clad Turtle. "I don't care as long as I smash you flat!"
"Stop! I'm here to see Bradley Satin!" Don yelled, after he dodged the barrel. Hun paused and the other Purple Dragons around him began to laugh with the blonde long ponytailed man.
"Don't tell me YOU'RE the turncoat of Karai's clan! HAR HAR! This is too much!" Hun kept laughing until Don flung The One's carcass at him, knocking him flat on his back.
"There's your proof. I took care of the Isotopes' leader as Satin instructed me to." Don said with too much attitude for Hun to bear. First that freak throws a dead body at him, knocking him over and now he acts like he owns the whole joint!
Hun scrambled to get back on his crutches and charged at Don. He swung each crutch out like arms throwing punches. Don dodged the attacks and used his bo to send a crutch flying out of reach. He did the same with the other when Hun stupidly swung again.
Falling onto a collection of barrels, Hun held onto them for support and scowled. Kano did nothing to help with Hun's badly injured leg, where Raph bit off a huge chuck from his calf. He couldn't walk well ever since.
Infection after infection plagued the giant to no end. He was told by doctors that he may lose that leg all together if they couldn't control the infections. Hun fiercely hated those Turtles...
Still Kano expected Hun to give this purple clad Turtle a test and the giant wasn't going to give him an easy one. No, he planned to give him one of the hardest tests that possibly could get Donatello killed.
If he got butchered, then oh well. One less freak to worry about. But if he passed, then Kano could really use that Turtle to his full bestial potential...
Hun's minions retrieved his crutches and the giant changed his hostile expression to a strangely friendly one.
"Come on in and I'll give you the details for your next test..." Hun said, grinning sneakily.
