Raph stood in front of a man wearing a white hocky mask, blue hair, tracksuit pants, and a red tank top and on his back was a golf bag filled with different types of sport gear. In his hands he spun around two baseball bats, glaring angrily at Raph with the intent to fight and bring him down
RAPHAEL: I guess you could call it fate but I finally met someone as angry as I am and he was really making me mad.
Raph glared back and pulled out his own weapons and spun them around in his hands and held them ready to fight.
My name is Raphael and the bozo in the hockey mask is about to find out just how angry I can be!
Raph roared in anger and charged at the man….
MEET CASEY JONES
Raph grunted as he was tossed right into a pile of boxes by Mikey. The two were having a brawl and Mikey was smirking as he was winning.
"Ha! Nice fall Raphael. Just come on back if you want some more of that" Mikey challenged.
Raph growled as he stood up and ripped the box right off his head and then said, "You had it Mikey!"
"Bro or no you've got to go" He finished in determination and then jumped in the air and delivered a reverse punch but Mikey dodged it and mocked, "Good reverse punch"
Raph then tried delivering a series of roundhouse kicks but Mikey ducked and rolled out of the way before the kicks could even touch him and said, "Nice round house kicks too Raph"
Master Splinter, Donnie, Leo and Donnie walked over to watch the fight as Mikey flipped over Raph as he tried to deliver a dragon punch.
"Not a bad dragon punch either but your just a little too slow!" Mikey teased as he dodged another punch from Raph and then slapped him away on his shell. "Actually much too slow"
Raph's anger only raised higher, he growled and then ran up to Mikey and managed to knock him right into the wall with a hard punch. The others started looking at the two in concern as Raph let out a roar of anger and charged at Mikey again, Mikey dodged left and right to avoid the punches Raph was throwing at him and then Mikey flipped over him and flipped to the other side.
"You think you're better than me?! Do you?!" Raph roared as he charged at Mikey again.
Mikey grabbed Raph by his hands and the two struggled against each other for a few seconds before Mikey smirked and tripped Raph over right into a table which smashed to pieces on impact as he said, "No you're just too cocky Raph!"
Mikey turned to the others and said as he raised his hands in victory, "Winner and still champion, Michelangelo"
He was unaware that Raph was now angrier and he stood up holding a pipe in his hand. The other's eyes widened in shock as Raph growled, "No…you….you….."
He then jumped in the air and kicked Mikey to ground, pinning him down. Mikey's eyes widened in fear and he shouted as he held his hands up, "RAPH WAIT! WAIT!"
Raph growled as he raised the pipe in the air and then brought it down to hit Mikey with it, Danny quickly ran over and shielded Mikey from the strike and then Leo grabbed Raph's arm and shouted, "Raphael! Have you lost your mind?!"
"You okay Mikey?" Donnie asked their younger brother in concern. Danny then shouted, "What were you thinking Raph?! You could've seriously hurt him!"
Raph stopped glaring and his eyes widened as he panted heavily. He dropped the pipe in his hand and then said in regret as he covered his face with his hand, "I….Leo….Mikey I….."
Leo let go of his arm as Donnie helped Mikey up. Master Splinter placed a hand on Raph's shoulder and said, "Ah my son so angry. Rage is a monster that will destroy you from within. Raphael a true warrior finds balance in all things"
Raph stood up. He couldn't bear to look at any of his brothers after what he almost just did and then stuttered as he ran out of the lair, "Master Splinter I….I….I gotta get some air"
Mikey was about to go after him but Master Splinter stopped him and shook his head, knowing that Raph needed some time alone to sort things out.
Raph ran out onto a rooftop and he couldn't contain the anger inside him anymore and let out a roar of anger and then shouted into the sky, "WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!"
At an old apartment building a man with blue hair, a red tank top and blue tracksuit pants was sitting in his living room lifting a dumbbell as he watched the news. The reporter announced, "And in other news more sightings of a vigilante wearing a hockey mask are being reported in connection to several brutal attacks on the notorious Purple Dragons gang, alleged to have underworld connections"
The man glared at the TV after hearing that sentence and hissed, "Purple Dragon scum"
A flashback of flames appeared in his eyes. A building was on fire and the one behind it was a large men and several other Purple Dragon gang members. The man glared at him as he laughed.
The man stood up and said, "Somebody's gotta stop those Purple Dragons"
He walked over to the table and placed a hockey mask that was sitting on it on his face and said with determination and anger, "Someone's gotta make them pay!"
He walked over and picked up a golf bag filled with different sports equipment and then pulled out a hockey stick and finished, "And they will. They'll all pay because Casey Jones is on the job!"
A woman was walking down the street heading home, she looked nervous as she saw a man wearing a Purple Dragons symbol on his vest and turned into an alleyway. The man smirked at the woman with interest and began to follow her.
The woman continued to walk down the alley but then stopped and gasped in fear as she came face to face with two other Purple Dragon members. She began to back up and was about to leave but only to find her escape blocked by the third member.
"Oh no" The woman whispered fearfully. The leader whose name was Spike then said, "Hand over the purse sweet thing and we promise not to hurt you too much"
They were unaware that Raph was watching them from the roof he was standing on and said, "Man these guys picked the wrong night to tick me off"
Spike snatched the purse of the woman and then suddenly they all heard someone shout, "Purple Dragons! Come out and play!"
They turned to see Casey Jones standing there in his hockey mask, carrying a hockey stick in one hand and a trash can lid in the other like a shield. Spike then said, "It's that whacko in the hockey mask. Let's get him!"
All three of the gang members charged right at Casey. Raph watched them with interest and said, "This is gonna be good"
He watched as Casey took out all three of them and knocked them to the ground with both the hockey stick and the trash can lid in merely five seconds! Casey then walked up to the one he just knocked down and then raised his weapon high as he sneered, "No mercy scum! I'm putting you punks out of business permanently!"
That's when Raph drew the line knowing that he was about to take things way too far. He jumped down and grabbed Casey's arm and held it back as he said, "Woah! Easy there cowboy! They're down! You stopped them, you did good! Now take it easy"
Casey pulled his arm free just as the Purple Dragons stood back up and ran away screaming, "Let's get out of here!"
"Oh man! They're getting away" Casey groaned. He then turned to Raph and punched him hard in the face as he roared, "Stay out of my business freak!"
Raph grunted in pain as he landed on the ground. Casey then ran after the Purple Dragons while shouting, "You can run Purple Dragons but you can't hide from Casey Jones!"
Raph stood up and picked up the woman's purse and said as he held it out for her, "Sorry about all this. Here's your purse Ma' me"
The woman became really freaked out and snatched her purse away. She then shouted as she ran away, "Keep away from you lizard thing! Keep away!"
Raph growled for a second and then ran off to find the vigilante. He ran through the alleyways and then stopped as he heard the sounds of someone getting hurt and the shouts, "STOP! / WE GIVE UP!"
He turned and looked behind the wall to find Casey beating up the same guys' with his hockey stick, showing no mercy to their pleas. He then shouted as he picked up Spike, "You've stolen your last purse dog breath!"
"Unbelievable! This guy just won't quit" Raph muttered.
He then ran out of the shadows and kicked Casey away from Spike. Spike and the others then ran off as Raph said, "I told you to cool it!"
"Yeah? And I told you to stay out of my way" Casey sneered as he stood back up and stood in a fighting position. "But since your ears don't seem to be working, I'm gonna have to get my point across a whole other way"
Meanwhile in the lair while Donnie was working on something at his work desk, Mikey held a picture of a design he made for the armoured car. He then explained, "See Don we can have our very own Battle Shell. I even got a name for it; I call it the Battle Shell. I've got it all figured out! Turbo boosters, double action traction, cool secret thingy shooting out the back….we should be tricking out the armoured car"
"By we you mean me and I don't have the time" Donnie said as he stopped welding for a moment. He then said as he crumbled the picture and threw it away, "There's too much to do around here and besides where would we keep the thing?"
Mikey picked up the picture and pleaded, "We can find a place. Just think about overhauling the wheels. Please! Please, please, please! Did I mention you're my favourite turtle?"
"Shhhh!" They heard Splinter exclaim. They turned to see Danny and Leo doing training with Splinter who was holding two wooden planks in his hands. "Leonardo and Daniel are working on perfecting their ninjustu skills"
He then furrowed his eyebrows at them and finished, "Perhaps something you two should consider"
He turned back to Leo and Danny and then instructed Danny, "Daniel leaping split kick!"
Danny leapt in the air and then delivered a powerful split kick at the wooden boards and broke them in half, he then landed on the ground. Splinter nodded and then picked up another two wooden boards and then said, "Leonardo your turn. Leaping split kick!"
Leo leapt in the air and although his kick was powerful it didn't break the planks. He landed and then groaned in disappointment. Splinter placed his hand on his shoulder and said encouragingly, "Try again my son. It will come with practice"
"Donatello. Donatello. If you build it we will ride in turtle style" Mikey pleaded again.
Donnie shook his head and then said as he gave Mikey a sign that 'SEWER SWEET SEWER', "Here motor mouth make yourself useful and hang this up someplace nice"
Mikey groaned and held the sign and just frowned in disappointment.
Back in the alley Raph and Casey continued to circle each other while Raph tried to reason with the crazy vigilante.
"Listen I'm trying to tell you something here but you're really working on my last nerve" Raph tried.
"Is that right?" Casey asked sarcastically and then tried hitting Raph with his hockey stick but Raph jumped and avoided the swing.
"Look I think you're trying to do the right thing but you're going about it all wrong" Raph said as he dodged another swing. "You gotta get control of yourself"
But Casey wasn't having any of it, "Look freak boy if you're protecting these Purple Dragon Scum then you're in my way and you're going down too"
He tried to hit him again but Raph moved out of the way. He then growled, "Hockey season's over"
He jumped up and then kicked the hockey stick right out of Casey's hands. Casey then pulled out two baseball bats from his golf bag and exclaimed, "Yeah? Well baseball is in season and so are you, you freaking, freaking weirdo! Batter up!"
"Fine! Play ball!" Raph retorted back and then pulled out his sais and with a growl of anger, he charged at Casey and the two began to fight each other.
Mikey held the sign in place on the small nail at the brick wall, he then began to hammer it but the nail wouldn't go through the wall. He tried again but the result was the same, he whined in frustration and continued to wack the nail with the hammer.
"What's this wall made of?!" Mikey exclaimed as continued to pound on the nail.
He then stopped and saw he only managed to bend the nail. He then left for a second and came back with a larger nail and a sledge hammer and snickered, "Alright tough guy! Let's dance!"
He place the nail on the wall and then slammed it right into the wall. He then adjusted the sign and smiled that he had completed his task but then suddenly the crack in the wall became larger and before he could do anything the entire wall fell apart and revealed a large blue stone door.
"Uh guys? Look what I found" Mikey called out alerting the others of his discovery.
They all came over and looked at it. Donnie then said, "It's a door of some kind"
"Be careful" Leo whispered.
"Why are we whispering?" Mikey asked. The others looked at him with a glare but he just shrugged.
Donnie placed his hand on the door and it suddenly opened unleashing some smoke that had a really foul smell causing everyone to cringe in disgust. Danny then exclaimed, "Whew! That really reeks"
Mikey then joked, "Don't look at me my brother. Remember he who smelt it dealt it"
Once the smoke cleared they all entered the room and then the walls began to glow along with a whole line of crystals along the top. Danny then said as he pointed to the crystals, "Hey Mikey and I found a bunch of these crystals while we were cleaning up the lair but they were all broken though"
"Where's the power source in this room? I don't see any wires" Donnie wondered.
Suddenly the doors shut locking them in and the room shook a little and then they felt like they were moving like it was some kind of elevator. Leo then asked, "Hey are we moving?"
Casey roared as he charged at Raph with his baseball bats, Raph used one of his sais to block the strike and held it there as he tried once more to get through to him, "Hey you gotta listen to me. You're angry. I can understand that believe me but what if you go too far? What if you grab the wrong guy? Get yourself into real trouble?"
Casey then wacked Raph hard in the stomach and sent him straight to the wall. He then said, "I got my reasons for doing what I do and they got nothing to do with you"
He then tried to hit him again but Raph blocked the strike and then kicked him away and then yelled as he stood up, "Fine! All you wanna do is fight?! Let's fight!"
Casey then quickly delivered another hard blow with a baseball bat sending Raph crashing into some trash cans. Raph sat up and his anger flared up and before Casey could do anything in a fit of rage Raph kicked him right into the wall.
Casey fell to the ground and then Raph ripped off his hockey mask to reveal the same fiery anger and rage Raph had shown when he almost hurt Mikey during their fight. Raph then stopped and gasped, "What am I doing?"
He calmed down and then said as he helped Casey up unaware that Casey had secretly grabbed his golf club, "We're on the same side. We shouldn't be fighting. We both just need to get a hold of ourselves, take it easy and chill"
Casey put on a fake look of regret as he picked up his hockey mask and said, "You know you're right. You've shown me the error of my ways…."
He then smirked and said as he whacked Raph dead on with the club, "Not! FORE!"
Raph hit the ground hard. Casey then laughed, "I can't believe you fell for that"
He then ran off, Raph got up and began to chase after him hoping to get through to him before he did something really bad.
In an old warehouse the strange elevator rose from the ground and then door opened, they walked out of the chamber and looked around the new setting. Mikey then asked, "Where the shell are we?"
Donnie walked over to the garage door and opened it up to reveal they were now street level. Donnie then concluded, "So the weird glowing chamber brings us up to street level"
Master Splinter sniffed the air and said, "This warehouse has been abandoned for many, many years"
"Either way this place could be very useful for us" Danny suggested.
"Great space but it needs something" Mikey said and then started wondering. "Bathtub? No. Kitchenette? No"
He then smiled and said, "I know! A supped up Battle Shell will be perfect right here. No wait over here is the perfect place to keep the supped up Battle Shell. No wait here!"
Leo smirked and said as Donnie closed the warehouse door, "I think he's trying to tell you something Donnie"
Raph had lost sight of the vigilante and started going through every alley looking for him. He then muttered as he came to another alley, "I know that big dope is around here somewhere"
He entered the alley way and stayed alert in case Casey tried a sneak attack, suddenly the sound of a bike was heard and before he could do anything Casey drove right up to him and tripped him over with the hockey stick.
He then stopped and yelled, "I got more where that came from freak boy! You want a rematch? Check me out Friday night Central Park! Adios loser!"
He then revved the bike and drove off. Raph shouted, "Come back here you…."
But it was too late and he gave up and sighed, "Ah nuts!"
As Casey drove off, he was unaware that Spike was watching the whole thing from another nearby alley way. He came out of hiding and then dialled a number on his phone and said as soon as someone answered, "Yo Dragon Face! It's that guy! The one with the hockey mask. He's been fighting with some weirdo in a bug costume and I know where he'll be on Friday night"
"I want that hockey mask vigilante's head on a plate" Dragon Face's voice replied. "Put everybody on alert. Everybody. This guy has been messing with our business for months. It's time we started messing with him"
They returned back to the lair in the chamber and then exit it as Leo said, "I don't know who could've built this thing but if we're going to use it we're going to need safety precautions and extra security up at the warehouse"
"Piece of pie" Donnie commented since he was a techno genius. Mikey then smacked his lips with hunger and said, "Piece of pizza pie"
They then heard the door open and turned to see Raph walking towards them. Mikey then said, "Welcome home Raph"
They then noticed a bruise on him and then Mikey said, "Man! You look like you got the shell kicked out of you"
"Yeah it's a long story" Raph said as he continued to look down. "But first I-I wanted to apologise. Mikey I'm sorry I got so out of control earlier. Guys I'm really sorry"
Mikey smiled and playfully punched his shoulder as he said, "Hey don't sweat it bro"
Leo smirked in surprise and asked, "Okay who are you and what have you done with our brother Raphael?"
"Let's just say I had a chance to think about the way I've been acting. I'll fill you in over dinner" Raph said. Mikey beamed and said, "Dinner? Now you're talking my language"
Raph chuckled and playfully punched him as he asked sarcastically, "What language is that Mikey? Nitwit?"
"HA HA! Listen to the funny mutant" Mikey retorted back as he punched him back.
A couple of hours later Raph had explained to the others what had happened when he went topside. They were heading for the door when Danny whispered, "I don't know Raph. Maybe we should tell Master Splinter about this"
"And have him stop us from going topside? We have to find that vigilante whack bag and stop him for his own good" Raph said unaware that Splinter was watching and listening in on them. "He's not a bad guy just a little misguided"
Master Splinter switched the lights on and they cringed that they had been caught. Master Splinter cleared his throat and continued to frown at them. Mikey the exclaimed, "Busted!"
A few minutes later after explaining everything to Master Splinter he then scolded them, "How many times have I told you not to sneak up to the surface?"
Mikey then asked Donnie, "This month?"
"Five hundred and twelve actually" Donnie answered.
Master Splinter then continued, "It is dangerous for you to go about openly in the world above. Danny unlike you when you're in your human form, your brothers they cannot simply walk amongst the humans. They will not accept who and what you are. It is as the great Sage and warrior Kenji Hashimoro once said 'why walk when you can ride'"
They all looked at him in confusion and then Raph asked, "Come again?"
Splinter simply smiled and then led them to the elevator that led to the warehouse and said, "Take the truck"
They all smiled glad everything worked out and headed inside the chamber. It took them to the warehouse and the door opened to reveal that the armoured car had been moved there. Raph then said, "Alright we got until Friday night to make this bad boy turtle ready"
"Let's get to work" Donnie said.
Over the next four days they had all worked hard and non-stop on the armoured car, taking it apart and then putting it back together, welding and spray painting it until finally on Friday night they all stopped and looked at the now fully finished Battle Shell.
"Now this is a ride" Raph said impressed.
"You ain't seen nothing yet. Let's roll!" Donnie said and they all got inside their new ride.
Once they were all buckled up, Donnie activated the turbo boosters and zoomed out of the warehouse after the doors opened and drove down the street at top speed heading for Central Park.
Casey drove down and headed into Central Park on his motor cycle unaware that a Purple Dragon saw him. He pulled out his phone and called Dragon Face and said, "I got him Dragon Face. He's in the park"
"We're on our way. He ain't getting gout of that park not on two foot anyway" Dragon Face replied.
Donnie drove past Central Park and said, "And on your left is Central Park. Eight hundred and forty three acres of landscape beauty in the centre of the city"
"Wait! There he is!" Raph called out as Casey passed them on his motorcycle. Raph got out of his seat and said, "Floor it Don. Keep up with him"
"You go get him Raph. I whipped up something special for you. It's in the back" Donnie said as he pointed to the back.
Raph walked to the back and smiled at the sight of a red motorcycle. Donnie then said, "Like it? I call it the Shell Cycle"
Raph picked up the helmet and put it on and said, "Donatello you are the turtle"
He revved up the bike and then sped right through the opened doors and speeded right past them and headed into Central Park. Casey heard the sound of Raph coming and speeded up to try and keep in front of him. Raph however caught up with him on the side.
"Hey hot shot slow it down!" Raph called out.
But Casey continued to speed through the park, turning corners to try and lose Raph but Raph caught up back with him and called out, "Pull over!"
But he showed no signs he was gonna pull over. Raph then went to the other side and pulled on his brakes as he repeated, "I said pull over!"
Casey yelled as he was flung right off his bike and fell to the ground. Raph pulled over near him and then said with a grin, "Time for a little shell shock"
He then sped right up to Casey and jumped off his bike, knocking him back down to the ground and watched as the Shell Cycle slowed down and fell to the ground sideways. Casey ground and removed his helmet and then said, "I can't believe I just got my butt kicked by some giant frog"
Raph removed his helmet and corrected, "Turtle"
"Whatever" Casey snapped. Raph then said as he held out his hand to help him up, "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"
"Save it! You don't know what you're talking about" Casey said as he accepted his hand and got back up.
"Try me" Raph said.
Casey lifted up his mask and then told his story, "Well a long time ago when I was a kid, some young punks we're shaking my dad down for protection money. They were Purple Dragons and when he didn't pay they torched our store"
FLASHBACK
A young Casey Jones raised his fists up at the Purple Dragons as they walked up to him, behind them was his father's store burning in flames.
The leader grabbed Casey by the shirt and lifted him off the ground and said with a smirk, "You tell your old man punk next time pay up or else!"
He then shoved him to the ground and the Purple Dragons left, leaving Casey to watch as his father's store burned down in flames
Casey wiped the tears from his eyes from the painful memory. He then face Raph again and snapped, "So don't tell me how to deal with Purple Dragons"
"Just be careful" Raph cautioned. "Your anger can take you down and make you act just like them. My father once told me a true warrior finds balance in all things"
Casey smiled and asked, "Balance huh?"
"Well you know as much balance as a couple of hot headed whack bags like us can manage" Raph said as he crossed his arms.
"Me? You're the only whack bag around here Doc" Casey pointed out with a slight chuckle.
"Hey I'm not half as crazy as you" Raph retorted back as he playfully punched his shoulder.
"Sorry but for a little green dude you are totally nuts" Casey said as he returned the punch.
"Yeah well I'm not the one running around in the hockey mask" Raph retorted back with a smirk. Casey raised his eyebrow and said with a proud grin, "I gotta protect my good looks. I'm saving this face for Hollywood"
"Well isn't this romantic?" The sarcastic voice of Dragon Face said and they both turned and found themselves surrounded by a circle of Purple Dragons bearing weapons of pipes, chains, clubs and hammers.
"So when you said I would go too far and get myself into trouble, you meant something like this?" Casey asked as he realised that Raph was right all along.
Before the Purple Dragons attacked them, the Battle Shell swerved right up to them and they moved out of the way as it parked. The doors opened and Leo, Donnie, Mikey and Danny all jumped out and stood in front of Casey along with Raph ready to fight.
"Friends of yours?" Casey asked.
"Brothers actually" Raph corrected as Danny changed into his ghost form and then they all pulled out their weapons.
"I can see the family resemblance" Casey said. Mikey then said, "I'm the pretty one"
Raph pulled out his sais and stood ready with his brothers and then Casey put his hockey mask back on and the pulled out his hockey stick.
They all then charged at each other, Donnie and Mikey whacked two of them away with their weapons, Danny shielded himself from a blow from one of them with an ecto shield coming from behind him and then roundhouse kicked him right in the face and sent him right into the ground. Casey and Raph stood back to back and whacked a couple of them away after blocking strikes.
Leo put his swords away just as two of them charged at him from the front and back and he jumped in the air and did a perfect split kick. He smiled and called out, "Guys! Check it out! I got my split kick right!"
"I missed it!" Raph said as he punched away another Purple Dragon. "Let me see it again!"
Leo did another split kick on another two Purple Dragons. Danny then called out after blasting away another Purple Dragon, "One more time Leo. I didn't get a chance to see it"
Leo did it again to another two Purple Dragons and Danny called out, "That was awesome bro!"
"I give you ten!" Casey said as he, Raph and Danny held up all their fingers to give him a score. Leo smirked and asked before elbowed a Purple Dragon right in the stomach from behind him, "Hey Raph only a six?"
"Bro it's all I got" Raph said with a laugh before catching a fist of a Purple Dragon and then kicking him away.
They continued to fight the Purple Dragons and knocking them down. Dragon Face then faced Leo who had his swords out and with a few swiped Leo cut the pipe into three pieces and it fell apart. Before Dragon Face could do anything else, Leo leapt and delivered a powerful kick right into his stomach and sent him straight to the ground where he lay unconscious with all the other Purple Dragons.
Casey lifted his hockey mask as Raph said, "I know I'm gonna regret this but I'm glad I met you crazy man"
"Me too green dough" Casey said with a smile. "And you know something? I'm starting to see what you're all about"
"Oh you mean about balance and self-control?" Raph asked.
"Nah! I mean that you're a green mutant freak" Casey said with a chuckle and then nudged Raph on the shoulder. "But I like ya"
Raph nudged him back and then the two kept nudging each other and before they knew it, they were both on the ground wrestling each other. The others looked at them strangely as they continued and then Danny said, "Great now we got two hot heads on the team. Just what we need"
"He's your brother" Leo said to Mikey. Mikey shook his head and said, "Oh no! He's your brother"
"Absolutely your brother" Leo retorted back with his hands on his hips and then three of them continued to watch the two hot heads wrestle with each other.
