Here comes the fourth episode…
(Manhattan, NY – unknown time)
It was a nice, clear night sky and everything was calm and peaceful. Well, almost.
It was Vigilante night and this guy was ready for action. He was wearing a white hockey mask to cover up his identity, a red singlet, blue tracksuit pants, light brown bandage on his left forearm, light brown gloves with yellow protective pads on it and dark blue shoes. He also carries a golf bag where he has all different sorts of weapons that he can swing with: golf clubs, baseball bats, steel pipes and his personal favourite – the hockey stick. He has shoulder-length dark black hair with blue eyes as he puts on his tough guy act and stared down at his foe.
The red turtle was bringing up-to-date to the viewer's for the night.
"I guess you could call it fate,"
The hockey masked figure was now twirling two baseball bats in his hand as he faces his opponent tonight: A red humanoid turtle armed with ninja weapons.
"but I've finally met somebody as angry as I am, and he was really making me mad."
The turtle himself pulled out his twin Sai and twirling them in his hands as he and the hockey mask wearing sneer their eyes at each other; ready for a fight.
"My name is Raphael, and the bozo in the hockey mask is about to find out just how angry I can be!"
With this Mexican stand-off, someone has got to make the first move. And it was no-one other than the ninja Turtle himself as he charges forward; letting out his own battle cry.
(In the Lair, Manhattan NY – 6:30pm)
It has one busy and exciting month for the teens when they did their first mission against Stockman and his crazy robots and adding Miss April O'Neil to the team. With a new human in the group, the family of ninjas can rely on April as she promise them that she would never tell anyone about them, not even her family. Well, excerpt about the girl who is clearly a human, of course.
The Turtles were thrilled to have a human friend especially for the young kunoichi who has finally met a human for the first time in her life and she couldn't be any happier.
Knowing them, they are going to need more than just one human friend in tow which tonight is going to be special for a certain turtle.
That certain turtle was in the middle of a sparring match with his younger brother who, unfortunately to the red turtle, was winning as the older sibling was thrown back into boxes.
Mikey dusted his hands as he walks up to his hothead brother. "Nice fall, Raphael. Just come on back if you want some more of that." He mocks the fallen turtle as he regains his senses, gets up and takes a box off his head. Angry as ever, he bitterly throws the box to side and points at the cocky turtle.
"You've had it, Mikey." The red turtle warned his younger brother. But the orange turtle spits on his fist and wipes it on his chest. "Bro or no, you got to go!"
Raph jumps up and throws a punch to the head but Mikey easily dodges it. "Good reverse punch." Raph tries throws in a few kicks but the orange turtle easily dodges it as well. "Nice roundhouse kick too, Raph." He added before Raph throws in a couple more punches which Mikey easily dodges them he does flip over the red turtle who so close of tackling his little brother to the ground. They both stand up and face each other. During the entire brawl, Master Splinter, Leo, Don and Sally were viewing the match under a watchful eye; hoping one of them doesn't get hurt.
"Not a bad dragon punch either," Raph charges in with a punch and again, Mikey dodges it. "But you're just a little too SLOW!" Mikey whacks the turtle in the shell hard which caused him to stumble forward and crashes into the platform in front of him. "Actually, MUCH too slow."
Ok, now he's pushing it too hard. Raph couldn't take much of this as he charges forward and deliver a nasty punch to the chest which ACTUALLY causes Mikey to fall on his shell and slide into the lower part and hit his head. Mikey sits up a little and rubs a part of his noggin where it hurts.
With his entire family watching, they couldn't help feeling that maybe Mikey was taking a bit too far of teasing Raph. Especially in a sparring because they know only one person is going to left standing and something tells them that it isn't going to be Mikey.
"This is not going to end well." Sally said to her family; hoping that one of them will be ok. They look over to see Raph charged at his brother again. As Mikey sees his brother coming, Raph throws in another punch to the head. Mikey dodges it. The red turtle delivers a kick as well. Mikey dodges it - again.
Raph does another punch but Mikey was too smart to read his moves as he dodges it for the third time. He then does a couple backflips to extend his distance between him and his brother. Raph couldn't help feeling that he was getting tired and is losing this fight.
No. He can't lose this fight; especially against his younger brother. He was supposed to be the strongest ninja out of all his family.
"You think you're better than me?! DO YOU?!" Raph bellows as he charges at his brother again once more and has now locked arms in a test of strength. Usually, a smart person would have just shut up by now but unfortunately, Mikey does not fall under that category.
"No. You're just too cocky, Raph." Mikey gloats as he turns and throws his older brother into a table and chair; destroying them into pieces. The red turtle regain himself as he watches his brother who was last one left standing.
He can't believe it. He lost! To his little brother. It was so humiliating for him. But that wasn't going to let him walk away with a win so easily. He looks over to see a steel pipe on his right. He picks it up and gets up as he looks on to his cocky brother.
The orange turtle walks over to the rest of the family; triumph about his latest victory. "Winner and still champion: Michelangelo!" Unaware of what his older brother was going to do with him but his siblings doing in which they became very anxious as they are prepare to witness the next moment.
"No. No. You YOU!" Raph growls as he leaps up in the air; heading straight for Mikey!
"MIKEY! WATCH OUT!" Sally cried out but Mikey didn't need her warning when he turned around and was kicked to ground by Raph who lands on the orange turtle as he prepares to strike him with the pipe!
Fear has now taken over his face as Mikey was prepared to meet his doom. "Raph! Raph!" He begs at his brother for mercy as he takes cover of his face with his hands. "Wait! WAIT!" But the red turtle ignores the orange turtle as he was ready to strike him.
But in a split second, Leo manages to grabs Raph's arm; halting his attack from going any further. "RAPHAEL, HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?" the blue turtle barked at his brother for his vicious act.
"You okay, Mikey?" Don asked the orange turtle who slightly removed his hands away from his face to see that Raph hasn't attack him yet.
Sally grabs the steel pipe away from Raph's grasp with a mad expression. "What were you thinking, Raph? You could've killed him!" Sally yelled at the red turtle.
The red turtle starts to breathe; heavily as Leo release his arm and crosses his in disappointment. Realising what he was about to do, the angry look on his face was simply washed away and was replaced with shame. "I... Leo...Sal…Mikey, I..." He couldn't say anything else as he placed his hand on his forehead. Don carefully pulls Mikey away from Raph as the young turtle regains himself from the attack. Master Splinter walks up to the red turtle and places his paw on his shoulder.
"Ah my son, so angry." The rat speaks as the turtle looks up to his father. "Rage is a monster that will destroy you from within. Raphael, a true warrior finds balance in all things." Splinter advises him as he stands up. Regretful of what he did, he couldn't face his brother and sister like this.
"Master Splinter, I... Uh, I... I-I got-I gotta get some air." And with that, he ran out of the Lair; feeling ashamed and confused. Feeling responsible that he is the one who pushed his brother, Mikey decided to after him but the rat master has halted him; assuring him and the others that Raph needs so time alone.
(On an unknown building, Manhattan, NY – 6:32pm)
The sun has completely set in the horizon as a certain red turtle has busted out through the entrance to the roof and walks to the ledge and looks down at the streets below him.
He couldn't believe what he has almost done. He nearly killed his little brother.
With a pipe.
He didn't realise how dangerous his rage can be until now. Like his father said, a true ninja should be able to balance in all things. Unfortunately for him, if he still carries the biggest rage that he burden, he never will be. He has shamed himself. Not just him but his family as well.
There was only one question on his mind that he needs to be let out. He takes a deep breath and growls to himself as he slams his fist into his chest and overlooks the city
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!?" he bellows at the top of his lungs the unanswered question.
Look like the red turtle has angry problems that he just cannot get rid of…
(In a different building not far from here, Manhattan, NY – 6:32pm)
…but he is not the only one who has anger problems. Not far from where the turtle is standing, there lived another guy whom Raph is going to butt heads with. With a baby crying from the room below, drapes were flying out of the open window on a cool night breeze. Inside the apartment, there was a large skylight that brings out most of the night sky which makes the room bright enough without the use for electricity. With the different kinds of weights lying about, everyone can pretty much tell that this works out for a living or possibly for a reason. His motorcycle was nicely seated against the pillar that holds up the ceiling and also where his Speed Bag is bolted down. Near his weights is his golf bag that is filled with anything that this fighter can swing - golf clubs, baseball bats, steel pipes and his personal favourite – the hockey stick. He has his Punching Bag hanged up near his entertainment section.
The fighter himself was busy watching the news while lifting a Dumbell with his left arm. He has shoulder-length dark black hair with blue eyes and was wearing a red singlet, blue tracksuit pants, light brown bandage on his left forearm, light brown gloves with yellow protective pads on it and dark blue shoes. He continues curling the weight while watching the news.
"And in other news, more sightings of a vigilante wearing a hockey mask are being reported in connection with several brutal attacks on the notorious Purple Dragons gang, alleged to have underworld connections."
When the reporter mentions the name of the gang, which was enough to make the man's blood boil as he narrows his eyes in disgust.
"Purple Dragon scum." He sneers; full of hatred. The man right here had dealings with the Purple Dragon before in his life; back when he was just a kid…
(Manhattan, NY – Years ago)
…as a kid, he has witness in front of him the building on fire. He then witness several gangsters walking out of the building and have approached him. The gang looks like normal teenagers – teenagers who grew up in the wrong crowd; especially, their leader, the one who he despises more than anyone. He was a tall muscle-bound man wearing a black singlet, black pants, a purple headband, purple belt and black shoes. But his loud voice and features of a purple dragon tattoo on his left arm, a gold earring on his left ear and long blond hair that was tucked in his bandana was enough for kid to know who he is.
Hun.
The same Hun whom the kid has placed a personal vendetta on him since that faithful accident which caused him to turn his life into a mask-wearing street Vigilante.
(Manhattan, NY – Present Time)
As he has comes back to the present from memorising his past, he knows what he has got to do. He has been doing this for months now and he isn't afraid on anything. With fire in his eyes, he gets out of his chair.
"Somebody's gotta stop those Purple Dragons." He said as he walks over to a nearby coffee table where a hockey mask was placed. He place the mask on his face, pulls the band that was attached to the mask over his head and rest it behind his head. He then turns around and walks up to where his golf bag and holds his fists out. "Somebody's gotta make them pay." He then grabs his golf bag that contains his 'weapons' and flings the strap over his shoulder. He goes up to a mirror as he pulls out his very own trusted hockey stick. He looks to the mirror as he twirls it around. "And they will!" He stops turning his stick and turns around holding his weapon in his fighting position. "They'll all pay! 'Cause Casey Jones is on the job!"
The Casey Jones is everyone's friendly neighbour Vigilante…
(On the streets, Manhattan, NY – 6:39pm)
…and his first job of the night is not too far from where he or the red turtle are standing. At a nearby street, a young woman was walking on the streets. She was on her way home from work when she decided to take a shortcut through the alley. Before she turns around the corner, she looks over with a worried look to see a street thug with spiky orange hair and orange goatee; leaning up against a wall next to it while chewing on a toothpick. He was wearing a green t-shirt with a black vest that has the picture of a Purple Dragon on each side, his goggles are seated on his forehead, black finger-less gloves with green cuffs, grey pants, a black belt and black shoes. The woman walks into the dark alley as the Purple Dragon continues to watch her. He looks to his left and right to make sure that there are no witnesses. The thug tosses the used toothpick and walks in behind. Look like the woman has made a terrible mistake.
She continues to walk down through with a fearful look on her face as she clutches onto her bag. She looks around to see if the thug has follow her into the alley but didn't have time when she notices two more thugs who were hiding in the shadows, in front of her. One of them appears to have his head painted entirely blue, his purple hair is like a Mohawk style, a black singlet with a grey t-shirt underneath it, red suspenders that is attached to his green pants with the Purple Dragon picture, a brown belt, black boots with purple laces and brown bandage on his wrist. The other thug is shorter than the other thug who wears a brown cap that goes sideways with a purple bandana underneath it, a white shirt with purple sleeve and a yellow sash that goes around his mid waist with the picture of a Purple Dragon, grey pants and white sneakers with blue stripe on the sides.
The thugs snicker as they approach her. The young women was now terrified as she was trapped. She slowly backs away from the scary people. Unfortunately, she couldn't go any further when walks right into the thug from before. She looks up to see him and then turns back to see the other two.
"Oh no…" she whimpered as they surround her.
"Hand over the purse, sweet thing, and we promise not to hurt you…too much." The thug advises their captive as the two thugs snicker once more. But they shouldn't laugh right now because a certain turtle was watching the entire scene as he sits on a nearby fire-escape. He was already mad once, he doesn't need to be mad again.
"Man, these guys picked the wrong night to tick me off." Raph said to himself. With two thugs holds the women by the arm as the third one grabs the purse out of her hands. They were about to bring more harm to her when they were interrupted by a special guest.
"Purple Dragons!" The thug looks behind him to see the guy in the hockey mask that was at the other end of the alley. He was banging his hockey stick against a trash can lid as he got his attention. "Come out and play!" he announce in a creepy sing-along voice as he walks towards them.
The thugs knew who this guy was. He's the guy who caused the gang a tough time with for months now. The thug pointed at him. "It's that wacko with the hockey mask! Let's get him!" he order his gang as they forget about the lady charged towards the Vigilante; ready for a beat down.
The red turtle was still on the fire escape. "Looks like this is gonna be good." Look like Raph going to have to sit this one out as he begins to enjoy the show.
The spikey punk throws the first punch but the Vigilante was smart enough the dodge the attack and strikes him down with the trash can lid. The blue-faced thug comes at him, but the fighter knocks him down with his hockey stick. He then drops the lid and holds his stick in both of his hand as he turns around to sees the sideways hat thug. He didn't have time to dodge him as the Vigilante knocks him down with his hockey stick as well. The fight was over but not for him. The Vigilante walks up to the third thug.
"No mercy, scum. I'm putting you punks outta business! Permanently!" he snarled at the thug as he lifted his hockey stick up in the air; preparing to hit the thug. Raph couldn't believe what he was seeing. This was just like what happen to him when he preparing to knock the lights out of his little brother, Mikey. For good. He couldn't let somebody else do the same mistake that he almost did before.
"That guy's outta control." He said as he jumps off the fire escape and lands behind the guy. "Whoa!" he cried out and just like what his other brother, Leo, did to stop him before, he did the same thing: he locks his arm around the arm that holds the weapon.
"Hey!" the fighter yelps. He looks around to see that he was surprised to see a green costume freak that has got hold of his arm. But he decided to ignore it as he struggles out of his grip.
"Easy there, cowboy. They're down! You stopped them! You did good! Now, take it easy." Raph calmly advise him as he breaks free from the turtle grip. He backs up from the ninja with his hockey stick at ready. He now has his focus on the mutant freak but was directed when the thugs took the opportunity to get up and decided to make a run for it.
"I'm outta here!" cried out one of the thugs.
"Come on! Let's get outta here!" yelled out the other one as the three thugs escape with their own lives while the two fighters and the lady watch them go.
The Vigilante couldn't believe it. The freak has directed him long enough for the creeps to get away. Now, he was fluming mad. "Aw man, they're getting away!" he ranted. He turns to the turtle with pretty much the angriest look on his face. If you don't count the mask cover it. "Stay outta my business, freak!" he delivers a heavy punch to the face of the turtle as it flings him back. With the mutant down, the Vigilante went after the thugs. "You can run, Purple Dragons, but you can't hide from Casey Jones!"
As he regains from the punch, Raph tries to go after the man but he was too quick plus he was a bit dizzy from the impact. He looks down to see the purse in front, picks it up and sees the lady nearby. Figure it must belong to her. As he approaches her, she could believe what a night she just had; first she was nearly robbed by thugs, then she was saved by mask-wearing street fighter and then this green costume man shows up.
"Sorry about all this. Here's your purse, ma'am." He apologise to her as he offers back her purse. The young women's eyes went so big, she couldn't believe that green creature spoke. But instead of a simple thank you, Raph gets this. She quickly grabs her purse and quickly backs away from him.
"Keep away from me, you-you lizard-thing! Keep away!" She shrieked and then, she runs away. Well, so much for appreciation. Maybe, they weren't ready to meet more humans yet. The red turtle signs and goes off in the same in the same direction where the street fighter who calls himself Casey Jones and the Purple Dragons thugs. He runs through a couple of different alleys to find them but he must have lost when he gave back the lady's purse. Great, so much for finding the guy who has anger issues. He was about to do a big search around the neighbour when he heard the sound of a trash can knocked over, followed by grunts. Well, that was easy. The turtle follows to the source and finds the same guy is viciously beating up the thugs with his hockey stick. Raph couldn't believe this. This guy; this Casey Jones shows no mercy. Like him. He continues to watch the fight as the thugs begged for pity from him.
"You've stolen your last purse, dog breath!" he bitterly barked at the thugs.
"Unbelievable. This guy just won't quit." He said to himself. He knows that beating up bad guys was the new way to cool off for him but the way that Casey Jones does, it was just too inhuman. He has no self-control. The hockey-masked man grabs the spiky haired thug by the collar and raised his hockey stick at him. Just as he was about to knock the light out of the punk for good, Raph quickly comes around the corner and does an aerial kick which cause Jones to drop the thug and falls to the ground. With the street fighter occupied, the thugs began to make a run for it.
"I told you to cool it, pal." Raph warned the hockey-masked man who steadily gets up while holding his hockey stick in front of him. Look like the turtle just won't listen and has already pushed him to edge as he gets ready for round two.
"Yeah? And I told you to stay outta my way, but since your ears don't seem to be working," he swings his hockey stick at the turtle but he misses it as Raph lean back a little to avoid getting hit. "I'm gonna have to get my point across a whole 'nother way." He finishes talking as he points his stick at Raph before he makes his move.
(In the Lair, Manhattan NY – 6:41pm)
It's been more than 10 minutes since the hothead turtle left the Lair after the action he nearly pulled off.
With the turtles and Splinter occupied with their own time, Sally was sitting on her bed in her room where she was in deep thought. Not only because of Raph's behaviour. But also the symbol on the garb that she found on the night of her birthday when she and her brother were fighting against those ninjas. As she looks at the icon, for the past month now, she has been wondering where she has seen this and when. And does it have some kind of connection to her past and what ever happen to her family before then. With all these questions rattle up in her brain, she decided to do some training. That always clears her head. She carefully placed the garb in her diary, closes it up and puts it back in her drawer as she closes it up.
She walks out of her room and looks over the ledge. She sees her brother, Mikey drawing up something that she can't quite see in the living section. Properly something that has to do with Superheroes from those comic books he has been reading. Sally didn't mind reading book like that. She just prefers reading Manga than comic books.
Across from him is Donnie who was at his workplace making modification to the Lair to make it more…adjustable. When it comes to technology, Don was pretty much the man…or turtle to know and how. She then looks over to the centre of the Lair to see her big brother and best friend, Leo with their father, Master Splinter, holding two pieces of plank wood; preparing for training.
With one turtle missing from the Lair, she couldn't help but feel worried about him. She swings her left foot in front of her right as she leans her left shoulder onto the side of the pillar next to her while crossing her arms together. She looks as she is deep in thought for the second time. She had never seen Raph this angry before. Sure, he's angry all the time but not like this. She just hope that he doesn't get into too much trouble while he is up there
"Hey, Sal!"
"Hmm?" She comes back to reality as she looks up to find the blue turtle waving her hand to get her attention.
"You up for some training?"
Sally puts on a pleased smile and she jumps from the ledge, does a front flip and lands gracefully with her knees bent. She strengthens her knees and dusted off her hands from touching the floor.
"You just read my mind!" She walks up to them as she stretches her arms in the air. The two of them proceed to do some stretching. While Sally was sitting on the ground as she stretches her right leg with her left leg curled into her, she looks over to see Don, now joined by her younger brother who was showing his picture.
From the orange turtle point of view, he has drawn up something that will help them cruised around the streets of the Big Apple. In his picture what appears to be a green truck; very similar to the one that they "found" when they went up to the surface for the first time with two grey satellites coming out from the roof, grey wheels and grey headlights. With this idea in mind, Mikey couldn't help but show this to Don who was busy wielding with his custom-made goggles on.
"See Don, we can have our very own Battle Shell." Mikey explained to his idea to him. "I've even got a name for it. I call it The Battle Shell!"
Don was still wielding; trying to concentration on his work while Mikey continues to explain his ideas to add to the truck. "I've got it all figured out. Turbo-boosters, double-action traction, cool secret…thingies shooting out the back. We should be tricking out the armoured car!"
"By "we", you mean me." Don halts his wielding and faces his younger brother. "And I don't have the time. There's too much to do around here." He places down his hand-held wielding touch, grabs the picture out of the orange turtle's hand, crumples it up and tosses it onto the ground. "Besides, where would we keep the thing?" he asked as he goes back to work.
Mikey goes onto his knee and picks up the crumble-up paper. "We could find a place. Just think of overhauling the wheels. Please? Please please please please?" Then, Mikey came up with something that will hopefully change his mind. "Did I mention you're my favourite turtle?"
Don was about to tell his brother to back off of him but the rat already bet him to it. "Ssshhh." They turned to see Master Splinter who was holding up two pieces of plank wood whom is with Leo and Sally in the middle of the Lair. The rat has got their attention as he faces them.
"Leonardo and Salvadora are working on perfecting their Ninjutsu skills. Perhaps something you two should consider?" he said as he turns his attention to his other children who were patience waiting for their Sensei.
"Leonardo, leaping split-kick!" Leo jumps up and attempts the move, but as soon his feet touches the planks, the rat flings him back and lands gently on the ground. The blue turtle lets out a frustrated sign; failing to perfect the move. The rat drops the planks, walks up to his son and placed a paw on his shoulder.
"Try again, my son. It will come with practice." He advises Leo. "But first…" He goes back to his position and holds up the planks. This time, it was Sally's turn.
"Salvadora, leaping spilt-kick!"
The young kunoichi nods to Splinter and did what she was told to do. She jumps up and slams both her feet into planks which caused the planks to split in half and sends the top half flying across the lair. After perfecting the move, Sally lands softly on the ground.
"Well done, Salvadora." Splinter acknowledges his daughter's success. Sally stands up straight and bows to her master. Leo crosses his arms in disappointment. He couldn't believe that his little sister perfected the move in one go and he didn't. Even though when someone else is better than him in training, the blue turtle gets all upset about it. He couldn't help it. He is usually the one who is always better than everyone else when it comes to Martial Arts – excerpts for superpowers. That's Sally department.
The young kunoichi looks over to the moody turtle that has his arms crossed. At times, when he freaks out, it usually gets under her skin. Other than that, she did felt bad for him. She crosses her arms over and playfully nudged him in the arm with a reassure look. "Don't worry, Leo. You'll get it right." She assures him as he acknowledges smiles at her. They resume their training again.
Back to the other two turtles, Mikey goes at it again but this time, he puts on an impression of their father while holding the picture in his brother's face. "Donatello. Donatello. If you build it, we will ride." Then he goes back to his normal voice as he pas his picture to his brother. "In turtle-style!"
Don looks at the picture, put it down on his table and looks at his brother; hoping for an answer. But he came up with something else. He goes to the other side and grabs something.
"Here, motor-mouth. Make yourself useful." The brainy turtle said as he passes him a hammer and the "Sewer Sweet Sewer" sign to Mikey; hopefully to get him occupied so he can get back to work. The orange turtle just sadly moans.
"Hang this up someplace nice." Don orders as he gets back to work. Mikey couldn't help but be disappointed that his brother was not on the ball with him but his takes the sign and hammer. But it will be not for long for him when he comes back to bug his older brother again.
(On the streets, Manhattan, NY – 6:43pm)
The two hotheads are still in the alley as they started to circle each other.
"Listen, I'm trying to tell you something here, but you're really working on my last nerve." Raph said as he continues to watch the young man like a hawk.
"Is that right?" Casey than does three swings at the turtle's head; trying to make him angrier but Raph ducks each one of them as he tries to keep his own angry under control.
"Look. I think you're trying to do the right thing, but you're going about it all wrong. You gotta get control of yourself." Raph advises Casey but the hockey-masked dude would not still listen. It was like the red turtle was talking to another version of himself.
Casey aims his hockey stick at the mutant. "Look, freak boy, if you're protecting these Purple Dragon scum, then you're in my way, and you're going down too!" He cautions the ninjas as he brings down his weapon onto him but Raph easily dodges it.
"Hockey season's over." Raph spins in the air and kicks the hockey stick right out of Casey's hands. But he was prepared for this.
"Yeah? Well baseball's in season!" Casey said as he pulls out two baseball bats from his golf bag and holds them in a cross. "And so are you, you freaky, freakin' weirdo!" The hockey masked dude was now twirling two baseball bats in his hand. "Batter up!" He then holds them in a fighting position.
Look like hockey boy is taking no for answer. "Fine! Play ball!" The red turtle declared as he pulls out his twin Sai and twirling them in his hands. They circle each other before the ninja Turtle himself charges forward; letting out his own battle cry.
(In the Lair, Manhattan NY – 6:43pm)
After search for a perfect place to hang the picture, Mikey holds the sign by the string. With the sign at the position, Mikey grabs the nail from his mouth since his hands were full and holds the nail in the wall with the picture hanging about. He takes the first hit but the nail didn't budge. Ok, that was weird. It should have gone through. He tried again. He hammers the nail in again but it was not going in. Ok, now he was getting annoyed. He lets out an irritated groan as he starts hammering it in; hopefully for the nail to go through this time.
As she finishes perfecting her split kick, she looks over to see her little brother having trouble hammering the wall. She went over to him to see if he needs any help.
"Not going through?" she joked but Mikey kept on hammering.
"Not really. What's this wall made of?" he wonders as he keeps hammering in until he breaks the nail. "Huh?" he gasped at he looks at the bunted nail. They couldn't believe it. The nail wasn't going through the wall. This has got to be one tough wall. Trying to find another solution, Sally placed her finger to her chin and thinks for a second. She clicks her fingers.
"Hang on a second, Mike. I got an idea." She replied as she walks away from the turtle and the wall and comes back with a bigger nail and a sledgehammer.
"Ok, now try." She advises as she hands it over to the turtle who was overjoyed to get something that will get the job done.
He then faces the wall as he spins the sledgehammer around. "Alright, tough guy. Hehehe." He said; putting on a weird voice on. Sally just rolls her eyes. "Let's dance!" He puts the nail in the recent made hole and with one hit; he successfully nails the sign to the wall. He fixes up the sign to make it straight.
"Perfect!" Sally exclaimed with a smile but that smile went away when the wall starts shaking.
"Uh oh." Mikey muttered as the wall starts to crumble. To avoid getting into trouble, he quickly passes the sledgehammer back to Sally. "Nice going, Sal." Mikey blamed his older sister who just glares at him but their cover their eyes to avoid the dust coming into their eyes. Luckily, a portion of the wall comes apart, revealing something that the two teens would not believe. It was a blue door that it is grafted with two big light blue swirls going diagonal.
"Uh guys. Looky what we found." Mikey called out to his family as Don, Leo, and Splinter joins them. They were stunned to see something in their new home.
Sally couldn't help but stare at the door with amazement. "Whoa..." she gasped at the craftsmanship. To be honest, when they first came here, she felt some kind of power all around the Lair. Maybe this door had some kind of connection to what she has sense.
"It's a door of some kind." Don whisper as he comes closer to the door with his entire family right behind him.
"Be careful." Leo also whisper in caution to his brother.
"Why are we whispering?" Mikey quietly asked. Sally just face palmed herself as Don and Leo just looked at him. The orange turtle just simply shrugs as they turned back to the door.
The purple turtle himself carefully placed his hand on the door which opens it by touch. But to their horror, it released a foul smelling gas. Everyone has to block their noses to avoid the vulgar smoke. "Whew! That's some stank." Don said waves his hand in front of his face.
"Don't look at me, my brother. Remember, he who smelled it, dealt it." Mikey quote the classic gas jokes.
"And he who denied it, supplied it." Sally added which earns a glare from the turtle as a little payback. On full alert, they all walked into the room.
As they enter, the markings on the wall began to glow which again, stunned the ninjas as they look around. The room began to light up revealing the same kind of wall, similar to ones in their lair. They all looked up to see a big crystal hanging up from the ceiling. Mikey then realized he had seen them before. So did Sally.
"Hey! I found a bunch of these crystals while I was cleaning up the Lair. They were all broken though." Mikey revealed to the gang.
"Same here. I founded a couple of them in my room too." Sally admits.
Don was looking near the door to see if there is a switch but so far, nothing. The brainy turtle was speechless about this new… area. "Where's the power source for this room? I don't see any wires or—" he was then interrupted when the door closes in behind him! The ninjas were trapped inside as the room starts to shake.
The blue turtle was the first one to look up. "Hey, are we...moving?"
(On the streets, Manhattan, NY – 6:44pm)
The brawl has already started as Casey comes charging in with two of his bats. He swings the bat on his left for the first strike but Raph manages to block it with his Sai. Casey tries to push him bat
"Hey, you gotta listen to me. You're angry. I can understand that; believe me, but what if you grab the wrong guy? What if you go too far and get yourself in real trouble?" Raph tries to reason with Casey but it would not go through to him. He yanks his bat back, swings it and knocks the turtle flying into a wall. The hocket mask rebel now towers over the ninja; holding his bats up high above his head.
"I got my reasons for doing what I do, and they got nothing to do with you!" Casey replied to the mutant as he swings both his bats down onto Raph's head but the red ninja manages to block the attack; saving his head. Since all this talking wasn't working, he was really getting ticked off now.
"Fine, all you wanna do is fight?" he pushed the bats to the side, jumps up and kicks the rebel back which causes him to lose his grip on the bats. The hothead turtle himself then walks over to him with his weapon at ready. "Let's fight!"
But Raph didn't have time to react when Casey manages to grab on of his bats and knocks the ninja back into the trashcans. Now, the red ninja was really angry…and smelly. Just as Casey pulled out his golf club, Raph quickly jumps up and kicks him into a wall; causing him to drop his weapon. Preparing to finish off his opponent, he walks up to him and ripped the mask off of him. Casey becomes shocked that his identity is revealed but quickly reverts back to his threatening expression. But the turtle is the one who becomes shocked. He realised that he was about to do the same thing that he did earlier that night. First, his brother and now…this guy whom he just met. Raph takes a second to regain himself again and comes back to reality.
"Wha... What am I doing? We're on the same side. We shouldn't be fighting." He helps Casey up but Raph was too busy talking to notice that Casey picks up his golf club. "We both just need to get ahold of ourselves, take it easy, chill." He gives Casey back his mask.
"You know, you're right." He agreed with the turtle and then bows his head and closed his eyes. "You've shown me the error of my ways." Just when things were started to go the ninja's way, Mr. Jones here has something to say.
"Not! Fore!" He whacks Raph with the golf club and sends him flying into the garage…again. He laughs at his amusement and at how gullible the reptile can be. "I can't believe you fell for that!"
With that, he runs away. Raph couldn't believe it. He thought he has changed the dude's mind but instead, he played into a trick. He picks himself up and begins to chase him.
(On the surface, Manhattan, NY – 6:45pm)
What seems to be an abandoned-looking building; perhaps a warehouse that is filled with all the out-dated furniture, machines and other things lying around. But if anyone was in here, they would not expect what was going to happen here.
A portion of the floor opens up which smoke emitters out of it and the floor begins to split up. Rising out of the floor was a large blue stone chamber with light blue lines all around it; simlair to the door in the lair.
The door flips open, revealing four mutants and a human whom just exit the "room". They were stunned to find out that they were not in the Lair anymore but somewhere else.
"Where the shell are we?" Mikey quietly wonders as he and the other look around.
Don goes over to a large steel door and opens it. It turns out that they are on the surface. Everyone else goes over to where the brainy turtle is and looks out to the street.
"So, the weird glowing chamber brings us up to street level?" Don asked.
"Looks like it." Sally replies.
To make sure it was safe, Splinter walks around whilst sniffing the area. "Hmm. This warehouse has been abandoned for many, many years." He said.
"Great space. But it needs something." He simply placed his hand on his chin as he begins to thinks. "Hm. Bathtub? No. Kitchenette? Nuh uh." Then, he came up with something. An idea that he had earlier. "I know! A suited up Battle Shell would be perfect right here!" he points to the space on his right but he points to another space instead as Don and Leo looked at each other. "No, no, right here is the perfect spot to keep the suited up Battle Shell!" He walks away to another space in the room. "No, no here!"
Leo and Sally looked at each other and nodded. "I think he's trying to tell you something, Donnie." Leo said to his brainy brother who closed the door; killing out the light.
(On the streets, Manhattan, NY – 6:46pm)
The red turtle was running through the different kind of alleyways; looking for the runaway rebel. He comes to a halt when he gets to a blocked off alley; hoping he was trapped down here.
"I know that big dope is around here somewhere." The ninja muttered as his journey into the alleys.
He just wishes Sally was with him. She has the ability to sense any living thing within a mile away. He could really use her help right now. Fortunately for the turtle, Casey was not far from him but he has a trick up his sleeve like the last time.
When the turtle continues to look around, a light what appears to be coming from a headlight of a motorcycle which it is making the noise appears at the other end of an alley. The rider was Casey himself as he holds out his hockey stick on the floor. Unfortunately, the turtle was blinded by the light and didn't have time to react when Casey floored on the pedal of the motorcycle and trips Raph up with his hockey stick by the foot. The poor turtle then fall onto his shell as the human comes to a halt on his bike and face the mutant; holding his stick in the air.
"Come back here you..!" But it was too late, Casey Jones was already. Besides, the red turtle was already too tired to chase him anyway. "Ah nuts…"
"I got more where that came from, freak boy! You want a rematch!? Check me out Friday night, Central Park! Adios, LOSER!" he requested a fight as he begins to rev up his motorcycle. Oh, there is no-way that Raph is going to lose him. He quickly gets up and proceeds to chase him.
As Casey rides away from the alley and into the night, the spiky haired thug from before; appears behind another alley and makes a phone call. He stayed behind and watches the entire scene and manages to get enough details that he needs to alert his boss.
"Yo, Dragon Face. It's that guy. The one with the hockey mask. He was fighting with some weirdo in a bug costume, and I know where he'll be on Friday night."
Right now at an unknown warehouse, a man was standing up with his foot sitting on a box was on the phone with thug. He was standing next to a pool table on one side and a big pile of boxes on the other. The door of the warehouse is wide open and there is only one light one in the ceiling. He is wearing a black t-shirt with a grey vest with two purple "T" on the front, black finger-less gloves with knuckles braces and grey cuffs with metal spikes attached to it, a belt leather belt with a grey belt buckle, black pants with purple flames on it and black boots with grey laces. Most of his head is bald but he does have light green hair that is tied up in a tight ponytail and light green goatee. His face is mostly covered up a big dragon tattoo that goes around his neck as well.
The one on the phone with the thug is known as Dragon Face and he is that current leader of the Purple Dragons. Unfortunately, the last leader was seen with a certain someone and actually cost him his life.
"I want that hockey mask wearing vigilante's head on a plate. Put everybody on alert. Everybody. This guy's been messing with our business for months. It's time we started messing with him." He order his men.
Look like Raph has to hurry and try to reason with the hockey-masked man or else Casey here is going to have some major beaten.
(In the Lair, Manhattan NY – 6:46pm)
Realizing the area above them was abandoned and the "new room" was an elevator, they decided to use it easy access to the surface level. It has also come to a conclusion that Don will use the armoured truck as transportation; thus making a certain turtle happy and decided to leave the vehicle in the warehouse.
They used their new elevator to arrive back to the Lair. The door then opened up; showing the three Turtles, a human and a rat.
"I don't know who could have built this thing, but if we're going to use it, we're going to need safety precautions and extra security up in the warehouse." Leo concluded as they exit the elevator which closed up behind them.
Sally looks over to her techy brother on her right. "Think you can do, Don?" she asked the brainy turtle.
Don had no trouble answering this. "Piece of pie." He confidently answers.
"Mmmm. Piece of pizza pie." Mikey admirably said as he begins to daydream about two of his favourite combination of food.
They then hear the doors closed and look over to see a worn-out turtle who has just returned from blowing off steam approaching. Gee, what has he run into? "Welcome home, Raph. Man, you look like you got the shell kicked out of you."
Sally takes a good look at the red turtle that got something on his mind and she pretty much knows what. "You got something to say, Raph?" she asked; crossing her arms over and with a raised eyebrow.
The red turtle halts in front of family as he begins to speak. "Yeah, it's a long story. But first I... I-I wanted to apologize." He then looks at his younger brother. "Mikey, I'm sorry I got so outta control earlier." He then looks back to the rest of the family. "Guys, I'm really sorry." Raph then hangs his head; ashamed of what he did and admits his mistakes.
But the orange turtle wasn't angry with his brother as he puts one hand on Raph's shoulder and punches him in the arm with the other. "Hey, don't sweat it, bro." Mikey acknowledges his brother. Good thing Mikey can forgive his family member straight away.
Leo was the next one to speak up. "Alright." He then points to Raph. "Who are you, and what have you done with our brother Raphael?" he comically asked. Sally just rolled her eyes at her brother's remark.
"Let's just say I had a chance to think about the way I've been acting." He clarified to his family. He looks at Mikey. "I'll fill you in over dinner."
"Dinner? Now you're talking my language." Mikey agreed.
Leo, Don, Sally and Splinter all walked to the kitchen as Raph playfully whacks him over the head. "What language is that, Mikey? Nit-wit?" he asked.
"Ha ha. Listen to the funny mutants." The orange turtle sarcastically replied and whacks him back as they walked off to the kitchen to join their family.
"I…don't know, Raph. We should probably tell Master Splinter." Leo advises his brother.
With the hothead turtle all cooled down for now, the family can all enjoy a nice night but the night wasn't completely over when the turtle himself wakes up his brothers and sister in attempt to sneak out to find this Casey Jones and set him straight. With three of his siblings all in favour, Leo was not so sure as they walked across the lair and head straight for the main door.
"And have him stop us from going topside? We have to find that vigilante whack bag and stop him. For his own good. He's not a bad guy. Just a little misguided." Raph explained to his siblings; hopefully to understand.
"He's right, Leo. And plus, you worry too much. What Sensei doesn't know won't hurt, right?" Sally reassures him. "Besides, I have been aching for a little topside action in a while now."
The Turtles doesn't realize that Splinter is watching them the whole time but Sally does. Without the guys looking, she halts and looks over to her right; almost seeing the rat that was standing near a pillar. The young kunoichi holds her hand out for her brother.
"Uh, guys…" Sally didn't have time to finish when Splinter turns on the lights from the switch.
Sally closes her eyes and brings her hand back. "Oh, boy." She muttered to herself.
The Turtles and Sally turned to see the frustrated rat that had his paw on the light switch. Ok, he was not looking happy to find his children sneak out without his permission.
"Ahem." He questioned to his children.
"Busted." Mikey muttered. Busted indeed.
"How many times have I told you not to sneak up to the surface?" he sternly asked.
The orange turtle turned to his smart brother. "This month?"
"512, actually." Don answered. That didn't help at all.
"Uh…make that 513. I…wanted to go to hang out with April. Plus, there was this bookstore that had the big sale on." Sally admits. Still didn't help.
Splinter walks towards them. "It is dangerous for you to go about openly in the world above. You cannot simply walk amongst the humans." But Sally, getting frustrated by the second, can. "They will not accept who and what you are." Well, for the guys but not for Sally. "It is as the great sage and warrior Kenji Hashimura once said:" He then holds out his finger in the air. "Why walk when you can ride?"
Ok, now the teens were confused. Sally and Raph looked at each other in confusion "Come again?" Raph asked; titling his head to the side. The rat calmly smiles at them. Wait a minute. Sally knows that smile. She could not believe it. He has finally trusts his children to go up to the surface; as long as they don't get spotted which Sally is absolutely ok with it.
The elevator opens up for the teens as they entered it. "Take the truck." The rat advises them. Thrilled teenager looks at her father and bows to him.
"Arigato, Sensei." She acknowledges him for his permission as the door closed in front of them.
The teens arrived inside the warehouse via the elevator as the door opened up for them and turned their attention to the armoured car that was parked nearby. Before they find the Vigilante, they have a mission to do.
"Alright, we got until Friday night to make this bad boy turtle-ready." Raph announced to his siblings.
The brainy turtle walks in front of him. "Let's get to work!" Don declared.
The teens are now on a mission. They all worked nonstop customising the armoured truck into their very own Battle Shell. With the engineers at work, they will surely have the greatest and awesome vehicle ready in no time.
With Leo and Raph got a sledgehammer each, they started banging the sides away. Don got his wielding on as he turns on his hand-held wielding torch. Sally used her strength to use a special tool to cut the steel that is needed for the truck and sanded them out. The new set of wheels was put on. Mikey brought a spray can as he aimed the can at the side, cover his nose and sprayed the vehicle. Don was back to wielding as he had his goggles on and was wielding down the side for the finishing touch.
After a couple of days of hard work, they have finally finished the Battle Shell!
They all stepped back to admire their work. "Now this is a ride." Raph said. The new Battle Shell was a lot different from the outside than the armoured truck did. With the entire green coat all over the truck, there were special orange compartments that contain rocket missises, the window rim and the front part of the truck are silver steel, extra headlights were placed on top of the truck and instead for four wheels, this puppy was driving on six!
Inside the truck has the two seats but also a couple extras in the back that are placed near the built-in satellite with a communication station, navigation system and weaponry system that are online and ready to roll. The teens were absoulty pleased with their success.
Don pulled off his goggles. "You ain't seen nothing yet. Let's roll!" They all hoped into the Battle Shell and buckle up. Don flicks on a few switches and starts up the truck as the Turbo boosters kicks in. The steel door opens up and then the Battle Shell takes off from the warehouse and makes a sharp left turn into the streets.
Not far from here, Casey Jones was riding on his motorcycle as he arrived at Central Park and takes the turn into the park. As soon as he turned, he was then spotted by a Purple Dragon thug with blue hair who was hiding in the alley just across from the park and makes a call to Dragon Face.
"I got him, Dragon Face. He's in the park." He answered.
"We're on our way. He ain't getting outta that park. Not on two feet anyway." The boss confirms.
A few seconds later after the call, the Battle Shell also arrives at the park with the brainy turtle not only as a driver but also as a tour guide. Mikey was sitting in the front seat with him on the passage seat. Leo and Sally were right behind them who were sitting in their seats which leaves Raph standing up with his arms crossed over as he was aching to find Casey and reason with him.
"...and on your left is Central Park, 843 acres of landscaped beauty in the center of the city."
Sally then sense something that was coming up beside them looks over to her left and sees a dude on a bike.
"Who's that?" she wonders to herself. Raph then looked out the window as well and see what she sees. It was him! It was Casey Jones and right on time. He goes up to the window to get a better look but accidently pushes his little sister's head who earns a little yelp when her face connected with her knees. Ouch!
"Wait! There he is!" he cried out. They excerpt for Sally all looked out the window and see the dude that Raph was telling his family about. Casey was now overtaking and was going faster. The red turtle moves up to the front; thus removing his hand from Sally's head. The poor girl rubs her face her right hand. She was definitely not happy. Leo wanted to make sure she was ok but with the gloomy look on her face, it was better to ask later rather than now because he does not want to get on her bad side.
"You could have yelled out instead of sending my face into my KNEES!" she exclaimed. Judging by that reaction, Leo knows she is ok.
"Floor it, Don! Keep up with him!" he barked at the driver but the purple turtle had another surprise.
"You go get him, Raph." He replied as he points behind him. "I've whipped up something special for you. It's in the back."
Raph looks behind and did what his brother told him. As he walks past the back seat, he earns a whack in the back of the head from his sister who was peeved off because of what he did to her. Raph was about to slap the living daylights out of her but decided to ignore it and goes to the back sees a red motorcycle and a red helmet.
"Like it? I call it "The Shell Cycle"!" Don announced as Raph picks up the helmet with a pleased look on his face. Look like Don had made this while they were building the Battle Shell.
Raph puts on his helmet and starts up his new wheels. "Donatello, you are the turtle!" he acknowledges his brother's achievements as Don and Mikey looked at each other. Raph rides the Shell Cycle out of the Battle Shell as the door fling open and lands on the streets. He revs the throttle and raced down the streets right pass the Battle Shell and makes a sharp right turn into the park as his family finds another way into the park.
Casey was still cruising in the park; waiting for the mutant to show off and he did as the hockey-masked dude looks behind and sees the ninja has arrived. He decided to make this a challenge as he hits the throttle and speeds up trying to outrun the turtle. But Raph proved him wrong as he accelerates and manages to catches up to him.
"Hey Hotshot! Slow it down!" Raph yelled out to him but Casey ignores him as he speeds up and the turtle does the same thing. They make a sharp left into one street and then sharp right turn into another. No matter how fast Casey was going, he just can't seem to lose the turtle that was easily keeping up with him and riding up to his right. "Pull over!" he cried out again. Casey continues to speed up but Raph decided to stop as he catches up to him on his left. "I said pull over!" What he did was absolutely crazy. He forcefully grabs holds of the clutch which slams the front brakes on and sends Casey flying forward. He then lands on the ground, uninjured, with his weapons from his golf bags scattered everywhere and his bike skidded on the ground barely missed the rider.
Raph comes to stop as he skids his bike just a couple yards from Casey. He looks up to see the dude was regaining himself from the crash.
"Time for a little shell-shock." He said as he speeds towards Casey. As he comes closer to him, he jumps off his bike and tackles Casey to the ground. The turtle rolls off Casey and watches the Shell Cycle as it comes to a complete stop and fall down on its side. He then looks back at Casey who still trying to recover from the two crashes that he just had.
He opens his eyes and rubs his head. "Ugh, I can't believe I just got my butt kicked by some giant frog." He whined as he looks up to see the mutant who just took off his helmet.
"Turtle." Raph corrected.
Casey quickly sits up. "Whatever." He grumpily said.
"Look, I'm no fan of the Purple Dragons either. I'll help you take them down, but we gotta exercise just a little restraint." He replies as he holds out his hand to help the hockey-masked dude.
Although they just met, Casey was starting to trust him as he accepts his hand and the turtle helps him up. "Save it. You don't know what you're talking about." Casey countered.
"Try me." Raph calmly replies. Ok, Casey has got to admit. He like the turtle's guts. Since he came all this way to reason with him, maybe he should tell him why. He removes his hockey mask away from his face and placed it on his head as he begins to explain.
"Well, a long time ago when I was a kid,…"
(Manhattan, NY – Flashback)
The young Casey Jones was watching a burning building as the goons who were responsible for the cause.
"Some young punks were shaking my dad down for protection money. They were Purple Dragons."
The Purple Dragons thugs than came up to the kid.
"When he didn't pay, they torched our store."
The biggest thug of them all was their leader – Hun. As Casey takes up a fighting stance; ready to make him pay. But the giant grabs the kid by the shirt and shoves him up to his face and pokes him in the chest.
"You tell your old man, punk, next time pay up or else." He warned as he easily picks up the young Casey and drops him on the ground before he walks off with his goons; leaving the poor kid to watch his father's store burn to the ground. The young Casey Jones watches the burning building as tears were escaping through his eyes and fire in his eyes.
(Central Park, Manhattan, NY – 10:39pm)
The story finish with Casey's back was turned away from the turtle who listening in on his story. Casey had the same fire in his eyes. He then closes his eyes as he sheds a tear. Ever since then, he has now placed a personal vendetta on the Purple Dragon; especially Hun. Now, Raph knows the reason of why he has business with the Purple Dragons. He wipes his tears away before turning to face the turtle.
"So don't tell me how to deal with Purple Dragons!" Casey sneered at him. The turtle walks up to him.
"Just be careful." He then he placed his finger on his chest; over his heart. "Your anger could take you down. Make you act just like them." He advises him. Casey was starting to get what he actually meant. Never let your anger takes over your life. "My…father once told me a true warrior finds balance in all things."
Casey simply crosses his arms over as he starts to take interest of the advice that the turtle was giving him. "Balance, huh?"
"Well, you know, as much balance as a couple of hot-headed whack-bags like us can manage." He replies as he crosses his arms over.
"Me?" Casey question as he perks a smile and points at the turtle. "You're the only whack-bag around here, Doc."
"Hey, I'm not half as crazy as you." He quipped as he punches Casey in the arm.
"Sorry, but for a little green dude, you are totally nuts." Casey remarked as he punches back to Raph.
"Yeah, well I'm not the one running around in a hockey mask." Raph points out.
"I gotta protect my good looks. I'm saving this face for Hollywood." Casey explained as he gesture to his face.
"Well, isn't this romantic."
The two hotheads quickly turn heads to find themselves surrounded. By Purple Dragons and look like they're have unfinished business with them since the last time they met as they brought out their weapons. The leader of the gang, Dragon Face, approaches them with a steel pipe in hand as he does a light tap against his right hand.
"So, when you said I'd go too far, get myself into trouble, you meant something like this?" Casey posed the theory of the consequences of messing with the wrong crowd. They looked back to the surrounded thugs who are closing in on them.
Raph dropped his helmet and puts his dukes up. "Something like it."
The Purple Dragon was still closing in on the rebel; ready to make them pay but they were interrupted by oncoming headlights. It was the Battle Shell and just in a nick of time as it rolled in at the last second. The sudden appearance of the rocking out truck has caused the thugs to scatter excerpt for the two rebels. As the Battle Shell comes to a complete stop, out comes backup. Leo, Mikey, Don and Sally enter through the back door and joined their brother and Casey in the fight.
Casey was a bit surprised to see three more of the red mutant and a human here which it was not a big surprised. "Friends of yours?" Casey asked Raph.
"Siblings actually." Raph answered as his brothers and sister pulled out their weapons.
Casey looked at the human girl with them and raised an eyebrow at Raph.
"Long story." Raph added.
"Well other than that, I can see the family resemblance." Casey said as it took a second to believe that he was not dreaming.
"I'm the pretty one." Replied the goofy turtle whom looks up to the tall human.
Sally rolled her eyes as she "Yeah whatever, Mikey." She joked as she does on slash in the air as she is ready to brawl. The Purple Dragons were stunned to see more fighters have joined the battle but they don't care, they still want to take them down. They continue to walk towards the rebels and their new backup. Raph pulls out his twin Sais, twirls them around and holds them in two directions; one going up and the other pointing down. Casey steps out in front, pull his mask down and draws out his hockey stick and sets it on the ground as he and the ninjas have team up together to take on the Purple Dragons.
The thugs have charged forward at the trained ninjas which it is absolute the rookies mistake ever when Mikey and Don dodges the first attack from two thugs and whacks them back. Raph and Casey took care of two more that jumped at them but the ninja and the Vigilante knocks them back. Sally was dealing with two more thugs as the one behind her tries to hit her with his chain but the young kunoichi use her Kodachi and slashes the weapons into pieces and does sweep-kick at the legs; bring the thug down and does a backward kick into the other thug.
For Leo, he is surrounded by a number of thugs. Before he takes them down, he gets an idea. He decided to try out the leaping split kick that he has being practising to perfected. He sheathes his swords back into his gauntlets and waited for two guys to approach him. Once they are close, he jumps up and kicks them away. He has perfected his leaping split-kick!
"Guys, check it out! I got my split kick right!" he called out to Raph, Sally and Casey who were nearby fighting the thugs.
"You did?" Sally cried out; missing the opportunity to see if he wasn't joking.
"I missed it!" Before Raph can ask him, a thug tries to punch him but missed his luck and the turtle kicks him away. He then back to his brother. "Let me see it again!"
Leo was gladly to do it again as two more thugs charge in and the blue turtle did another split-kick. Sally was now smiling and was thrilled for the turtle. She knew he can do it. It just takes time. But Raph didn't have a chance to look at it the second time when another thug distracted him who swings a pipe on his head but the red turtle blocks the attack with his twin Sais and kicks him away.
"One more time!" Raph asked as he promises to see it this time. Leo didn't complain as he does one final split-kick two more thugs.
"You see, Leo. I told you, you would get it." Sally assures her best friend as she puts her Kodachi away.
"Haha! Saw that one!" he believed as he puts away his twin Sais and holds up all six fingers.
"I give you a ten!" Casey said as he and Sally holds up ten fingers.
"Hey, Raph, only a six?" he asked as he elbows a thug who was behind him in the stomach.
"Bro, it's all I got!" He replies as he blocks an oncoming punch and kicks him away.
"Plus the four toes on your feet's and that make a ten to me." Sally added as she blocks a thug's kick and manages to kick him in his support leg which sends him down and does a side kick into his chest which sends him flying.
Mikey whacks his Nunchakus at one and Casey uses his hockey stick to hit another. All that was left was Dragon Face as Leo confronts him. It was leader against leader as the swords and pipe went everywhere. Leo does a couple of quick slashes against the pipe which falls apart.
"Uh oh." He gulped. Dragon Face was definitely in trouble as he saw the incoming blue turtle whom jumps up and delivers an aerial kick which knocks him into the rest of his gang who were all knocked out and lay defeated on the pavement of the park.
"Nice work, Leo." Sally congrats the blue turtle.
With the battle settle, the red turtle looks up to his new human friend who removed his mask and placed it on his head. "I know I'm gonna regret saying this, but I'm glad I met you, crazy man." He admits.
Casey looks at him with a smile. "Me too, Green Dome, and you know something? I'm starting to see what you're all about." He then puts a hand on Raph's shoulder.
"Oh you mean about balance? Self-control?" Raph said; hoping that Casey has learnt a thing today. But unfortunately, that was not the case.
"Nah, I mean that you're a green mutant freak." He laughs and punches Raph in the arm. "But I like you."
Casey and Raph start laughing and punching each other. Casey tackles Raph down and they continue to fight while Leo, Mikey, Don and Sally look on. Someone has got to break up the fight but no-one had the guts to do it. They just stand there and watch the fight.
Sally looks to the blue turtle. "Well, he's your brother. Do something." Sally replied.
But look like the leader does not want to do it. "No way." Leo then looks at Mikey. "He's your brother."
"No no, he's YOUR brother." Mikey argues; stating he does not want to end the fight that has his hothead brother involved.
"Absolutely, YOUR brother." Leo gestures to Don. No matter who going to break up the fight, they all know with a new member to the team, their adventures have just started.
With new allies in the TMNT group, the ninjas' adventures have already just getting started. More surprises are heading your way as the story continues. So, find out next time in:
The Saint's Hope: Nano
Author's Notes: Hey! Sorry for the late update. Again. Reason? Well, it was my cousin's 13th birthday and didn't get back until 10 and I was just nearly finishes with the story but now, with that's done, I can get started with the next chapter.
Also, my relatives came down again this week again and they will be back.
Nothing much to say…Oh! Almost forgot. I'm also doing drama at the moment and I manage to get one of the lead roles for our end of the year play! YIPPEEE! And I'm also working on two days which could cause a friction in the time of writing my stories but I see what I can do. So I hope you'll understand that if I'm late, I blame work but I need the hours and the money. I'm saving up for my trip to china for my 21st and either an iPad or iPad Mini. Which one do you think is best? You tell me.
So, remember to review and add me or the story to favourites. Love to hear more from my fans! Sayonara!
Until we meet again,
