"You ain't gonna get away with this Hun!" Casey growled as Purple Dragons dragged him and April through their head quarters to some holding cells. They threw April in first as Hun grabbed the shoulder of the Dragon that held Casey. He smiled as the Dragon let go, tossing Casey's weakened body to Hun. He pushed him back as Casey stumbled to the ground, before picking up his head and running towards the large man. April ran forward to stop him as the cell doors slammed in her face.

"No! Don't hurt him!" She cried as Hun punched Casey in the gut. His breath getting knocked out of his lungs as he fell to his knees hugging his arms around his stomach.

"You're pathetic Jones. Always was, always will be." Hun said in a low tone as he grabbed Casey by the back of his jacket, tossing his body into the cell with April. "Don't worry, I'm sure your freaks will be here soon." He chuckled as his Dragons joined in, following their Master down the hallway.

"Babe, are you alright?" April asked running to Casey's side as he nodded his head slowly. She lifted his chin, turning his face to make sure there weren't any bruises. Her face dropped as she noticed blood dripping from his lip, taking a piece of her shirt and ripping it off she pressed her finger to the cut gently.

"I'm sorry…" He said softly as she shook her head.

"It wasn't your fault."

"I should have gotten there sooner."

"Either way Case, we would have been taken." She sighed sitting back on her heels as Casey took the small piece of fabric from her. "And, we'll hide out, like we always do and most likely will again in the near future. But, it's worth it for them." She said with a small smile.

"Yeah, those toads owe us big time." He said narrowing his eyes as April chuckled pushing his dark hair out of his face and leaning forward with a smile kiss on his cheek.


Jade and Leonardo slowly walked the edge of the docks as they neared the Purple Dragon's headquarters.

"You sure this is it?" She whispered in her ear piece to Jacqueline who was on the other side of the docks.

"Yes." She growled back at her older sister. "I told ya like ten times, Jesus Christ." She said kneeling down behind a crate as Raphael looked around the area to make sure they were well hidden.

"Will you two quit arguing?" Fiona said over her ear piece as her and Michelangelo watched over head from a roof top. "You're startin' to give me a rash." She sighed as Lexine rolled her eyes standing on a neighboring roof top with Donatello leaning against the ledge.

"So, we doing this or are we just going to make ourselves more known to them and get caught so we can join April?" Donnie growled as Lexi sighed shaking her head.

"Great…"

"What?" Donnie asked narrowing his eyes as she crossed her arms turning towards him.

"Nothing, just stay focused Gadget." She said before running off the side of the building and flipping into a crouching position in the alleyway. She looked over head as Fiona went invisible climbing down the fire escape and appearing next to her sister.

Jade and Leonardo nodded to the second eldest across the way as they both slowly stood on their feet, moving around the large crate on the docks. They met in the middle as Raphael and Leonardo walked behind their girls as Jacqueline lit a small flame to her finger. Jade furrowed her brow slowly as she turned on a heel looking behind Raphael and Leonardo as they slowly arched their eye ridges. She held up a hand to stop them as they did, slowly turning their heads over their shoulders to follow her gaze.

Karai stood on the roof top ledge over looking the Dragon Headquarters with a smile as she jumped down into the darkness of the alleyway. She saw Jade from a distance as the girl must have picked up on her. She pressed her back tightly to the cold bricks behind her as she saw the eyes of the two eldest turtles fall on her. She knew Leonardo wouldn't take a second guess to come walking into the dark that cloaked her body in its shadows.

"What is it?" Leo asked slowly turned towards Jade's line of sight as she walked forward, passing him. He followed her slowly as she kept her brow crinkled in concentration trying to reach out with her powers. She felt the twins with Mikey and Don nearby, but something else, closer. She felt her heart beat start to race as she turned towards Leonardo.

"Someone's been following us." She broadcasted throughout her siblings and turtles as Jac walked forward, extinguishing her flame.

Karai sucked in her breath, keeping herself completely silent as she watched Jade's body inch closer. She knew as soon as they caught a slight glimpse, she'd be exposed. She slowly slid her body down towards the opposite opening of the alleyway.

"Whada ya say Jay?" Jac asked as Jade shrugged.

"It's a threat, just can't put a finger on who or what…" She said as a sigh left her lips. "We have to focus on the matter at hand." She turned back toward the headquarters as Leo nodded. Raphael and Jac nodded slowly as they followed Jade closer to the building.

"Are you four in place?" Leo asked through his ear piece to the youngest.

"Yeah, Leo we're set." Lexine said as she smirked over at her twin as Fiona smiled back.

"We'll give you the signal when it's all clear and then get the Battle Shell and met us outside. We'll take a quickest route too…"

"Yeah, yeah Leo, we know. We've went over it." Donnie said over his ear piece as his brother furrowed his brow in response looking over at Raphael who's expression widened.

"Donnie I…"

"Just get in and out, like you two always seem to do. Not bothered by needing our help." Donnie said cutting off his brother as Leo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Let's go." Leo said clicking off his side of the ear piece, walking ahead as Jade followed with a sigh.

"Donnie, bro are you askin' for Leo to kick your shell?" Mikey asked as his smarty brother shook his head, crossing his arms over his plastron.

"We're the backup Mikey! We stand back while those two get the glory, get the fight. It's not fair and they know it."

"Leo's tryin' to keep us…"

"Leo's worse than Raph! He just wants to be the in spotlight constantly so he can be our 'fearless leader'." Donnie said waving his hands around to the words. "He says he hates that nickname when secretly he embraces it because it means he gets the attention. He fixes the problems; he is our leader while we're his teammates cast aside while he takes all our credit when our credit is due!" He glared ahead of him as Fiona's eyes widened slowly arching her brow as she looked from Donnie in front of her to Mikey who sat behind her. Lexine tilted her head slightly in question as she waited for him to finish.

"You're unbelievable." She said as Donnie snapped his head towards her.

"What?"

"You think so little of your own brother who saved your life more than enough times. Your older brother who loves you, cares about you and your well being more than he cares about himself?!" Donnie turned his head back towards the water in a scoff.

"Yeah, he's so caring then…"

"Shut up Donnie." Mikey snapped as he got to his feet. Donnie smirked looking towards his little brother.

"Make me Mikey." He said taunting his brother with an arched eye ridge as Mikey scrunched his face and growled, letting his chucks fall from his belt. Fiona stood up putting a force field around the both of them as Donnie smirked from outside it.

"Mike, that's not Donnie. Well, it is…It's just the fear talking. Just, don't make it worse." She said cupping his cheek in her hand as he sighed nodding his head and slowly slipping his chucks back into his belt.

"What a wonderful sentiment." Karai's voice said as she walked out of the darkness. Lexine turned quickly as Donnie slid his bo from his belt on his shell, bracing it before himself as he took a side step to cover Lexi.


"Yo Fearless, you wanna speed this up." Raphael growled softly behind his brother as Leo short a glaring look back at him. They slowly moved along the air ducts of the Headquarters, searching for the room where they were keeping April and Casey.

"If we go too fast, we will make more noise than necessary." Leo said leading them as he looked through a passing grate.

"You're right." Raph said in a shrug as Leo sighed shaking his head.

"Ya know Raph, this would just go easier if…Wait…What?" Leo said stopping and turning towards his brother.

"You're right." Raph said with an arch brow. "Your actin' like I never agreed with ya before."

"Y-You…Never have…" Leo said slowly as Raph rolled his eyes.

"Well Jesus Leo, you want a fuckin' cookie or somethin'? Keep goin'." Raph said with a glare shoving Leo's shoulder to push him forward. Leo furrowed his brow, turning back slowly as he lead them back in the direction he was heading.

"Are we sure that Donnie shut down the security?" Jade asked as Leo nodded his head.

"He said he did from the Battle Shell, he said the encryption of the fire walls wasn't hard to figure out."

"Whatever that means." Jac mumbled.

"Hey wait…you hear that?" Leo asked in a soft tone as everyone stopped listening carefully. Jade closed her eyes placing her palm downs on the cold metal of the duct reaching out with her powers as she felt April's soft essence surround her. She smirked.

"They're right below us." Jade whispered. She backed up slowly as Jac looked over her shoulder in confusion.

"What you doin'?" She asked as Jade smiled as she pointed down to a grate that was right under her knees. She lifted it up and dropped down, cautiously looking around as she heard and felt nothing. She sighed to herself looking up and motioning for Jac to follow.

Jade closed her eyes concentrating on the image of a Purple Dragon as she opened her eyes to Jac giving her a thumbs up.

"Nice threads." She snorted as Jade looked down at her clothing. Raphael and Leonardo jumped down next as Leo saw her, placing a hand to the hilt of his katanas. "Whoa easy there killa, it's Jay."

"It'll be easier." She shrugged as she walked past him with a large Purple Dragon tattoo on her upper bicep, ripped baggy blue jeans with a tank top that came up inches below the bottom of her breasts with a black bra showing slightly and a large leather jacket with ripped off sleeves draped over her. Raph arched a brow as Jac smacked him hard in the plastron with her metal hand. He leaned forward a bit as he glared at her.

"What?" He asked gruffly as she glared at him. She pointed her finger at him as the tip was glowing red, turning and following her sister.

"You three stay here. I'll go and see if I can get their watchers to take a break. When they come your way…"

"Take care of 'em, we got it." Jac said in a wink as Raph smirked.

"Be careful." Leo said grazing her arm gently. She smiled nodding her head and turning the corner. She cleared her throat, hardening her walk as she kicked a chair out next to the sleeping Dragon. He snorted back a snore sitting upright in his chair as he glared over at Jade. She smirked leaning over him.

"Hun said it's your break sleepin' beauty." She said trying to regain her thick Boston accent back. He arched an eye brow to her slowly before shrugging and getting up. She took his chair as looked over at Casey who glared at her, with a sleeping April on his lap. She gave a small smug smirk before hearing the smacks and thuds of flesh hitting flesh around the corner.

Jade closed her eyes taking a slow breath as she dropped her image, taking back her normal one as her clothes she was wearing before formed back on her body. Casey's eyes widened as he slid April's head from his lap and stood up going to the bars.

"Jade! I…"

"Sh…" She said placing a finger to her lips.

"Right…" He whispered as she opened the door with her powers for him. Casey smiled turning and picking April up in his arms as the three others turned the corner.

"You got 'em?" Raph asked as Jade nodded. "Good, let's get the shell outta here!" He said as she furrowed her brow as Jac and Leo came running past her and Casey. Raphael followed as Jade nodded for Casey to follow them. He hoisted April up higher in his arms as he followed the others, leaving Jade in the small hallway taking a stance.

"Jade, c'mon!" Leo yelled from around the corner when he noticed she wasn't following.

"I'll hold 'em off!" She yelled back as he growled turning on a heel.

"Get them outta here!" Leo yelled at his brother and Jac as they nodded guiding Casey and April who stirred in the commotion towards the nearest exit.

Leonardo slid to a stop, sliding his katanas from their strap as he stood next to his girlfriend in a stance. She kept a concentrated face, waiting for the Dragons hearing their pounding feet on the cement.

The first wave was easily deflected as Jade shoved them back with her powers, throwing out her other arm towards them as she brought one back. Leonardo spun his body in a kick, sending a Dragon that broke through hard against the walls in the small corridor.

"We don't have time for this!" Leo yelled as his katana stopped a crow bar coming at him as he jumped and kicked the Dragon off him, sending him back into more that fell to the ground. Jade guided a Dragon's fist under her bicep as she held him there, twisting his wrist as she brought her knee up into his stomach. He let out a grunt falling forward as she lifted his body, tossing it over her shoulder.

"Fine!" She yelled back, dodging a bat and catching it in her hand, using her powers to lessen the blow. "Let's…Go!" She said taking the bat and smacking it across the Dragon's face. Leo took off first as she pushed more Dragon's that charged at them back, building up her powers as they flew further backwards.

The two eldest ran as they made it outside. Jade focused on her sister as she brought her and Leo to the end of the dock behind a large crate. Casey and April crouched behind it was Jac and Raph both jumped out to the leaders approaching. Raph sighed dropping his weapons as Jac put her fists down.

"You two alright?" Raph asked as Leo nodded his head crossing his arms over his chest.

"What the hell was that about?" He asked towards Jade, glaring down at her as she crouched beside Casey placing a hand on April's head. She furrowed her brow looking up at him.

"What?"

"You thought you were just gonna take them on your own?" He said stepping closer to her as she dusted the sand from her pants and stood.

"I was protecting you guys. I could have held them off."

"For how long?"

"Long enough." She said crossing her arms.

"What is something…You could have gotten into trouble and then what?" He asked as his voice rose with irritation. She narrowed her eyes shaking her head as she felt the cool breeze from the ocean brush against her sweat slicked face.

"Leo, I did what I had to." She said softening her voice as he shook his head walking past her towards the water, nudging her shoulder as he went. She rolled her eyes in another sigh as she went back to April's side.

"What was that about?" She asked in a tired voice as Jade just smirked.

"It's the fear serum, not Leo. He is always the one in control and able to keep himself calm, he doesn't have that anymore so his fears the things he thinks about to himself and suppresses to be something not to worry about he expresses now. Usually loudly." She chuckled a little.

"Csae, you alright man?" Raph asked with an arched eye ridge as Casey nodded his head, running his hand through his black hair as it blew in the wind. Raph sighed looking over towards his brother before walking over to him.

"Donnie and Mikey aren't responding." Leo said darkly with narrowed eyes towards the black ocean. Raph furrowed his brow, clicking on his ear piece and waiting a moment while nothing came back but static. "We hafta get out of here before more Dragon's come out." He sighed as Raph nodded.

"You alright though?" He asked in a softer tone that made Leo's brow furrow slowly before turning his head towards his red clad brother.

"Y-yeah Raph…I'm good." He said still wearing the same expression as Raph smirked a little clapping a hand on his brother's shoulder as it was removed slowly as his normal expression took over his face.

"Well, good." He said harshly before turning back towards the crates. Leo rolled his eyes following his brother.

"The girls aren't responding." Jade said with a worried look over her face as Raph turned towards Leo.

"Well, they wouldn't would they?" A familiar voice said from the shadows as Jade turned slowly. She heard muffled voices, high pitches and distressed as she felt her sisters hurt wrists as if the rope was wrapped around her own. She grabbed at her wrists as Jacqueline did the same in a slight hiss of pain. "Come with me, and your little siblings won't be harmed." Karai said shoving the twins forward as a black cloth dug into their mouths, and tears streamed down Fiona's face.
