Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Strike of the Dragon

Part 2

NOTICE!

Yes, this is an update about part 3 and yes, I'm still horrible at jokes. I want to apologize for the tardiness on this story. Things got a whole lot busier than we'd anticipated. Part 3 is being worked on, I can promise you that.

Believe it or not, I've had to go back and re-edit a lot of it because there was far too much to clutter. After finishing the rough draft there were more than 40 chapters and I knew that was too much. So I'm having to shave it down.

On top of all that, Ravyne is busy with her own projects so editing this is taking her some extra time too.

I appreciate the patience from everyone and I do sincerely apologize for the wait.

And a SUPER big thank you to all our reviewers and readers who have favorited the story as well.

On that note, I will be changing up the story a bit in the way I have been writing it.

I'm going to go down a different path and bring in a bit more darker tones.

The next segment is going to bring about a much more, in-depth touch to Raphael and Ryu's relationship but also tear it apart as well.

A member of the turtle team is leaving while a new addition will be joining, adding strain and at the same time opening doors.

I hope this new path will bring in more readers and reviews that will both help better the story and bring in new ideas as to what you guys would like to see in Part 3 in the future.

I do hope that I can make it to Part 4 so that I can truly let my real ideas come to light because I have so much back story and darkness I want to reveal from Ryu's past life.

Here are two sneak previews of what is to come in Part 3 which has finally been titled:

TMNT: Call of the Dragon

"You've leaving?!"

"I have to. They've called me back; said it was an emergency."

"What kind of emergency?"

"They didn't say."

"That's not a good enough reason!"

"Does there need to be for them? I'm going home."

They share a sideways glance before turning back in horror, jabbing a finger at each other.

"You're leaving me here with…that?!" they shout together.

"What is it?"

"He," comes the sharp correction.

"What is HE then?" shoots back the sarcastic remark.

"I don't know! Why don't you ask him?"

"I don't speak gecko."

"I'm not a gecko."

"See? He's not a gecko."

They spin back, dumbstruck.

"Wait, what?!"

Thanks again

from both of us,

-Katt B.
