Chapter 4 Casey VS. Splinter
As Casey left the Dojo he was determined to take Splinter down no matter what. Meanwhile down in the sewers Splinter was in the middle of a training session with his oldest adopted son Leonardo. "Once again Leonardo you have done well in your training" Splinter told him. "Thank you Sensei" Leo said as he bowed to his Sensei/Father in respect. While Splinter and Leo continued training Leonardo's three younger brothers were doing something else. Michelangelo the youngest brother was reading comic books in his room. Raphael and Donatello were in Donatello's lab because Donnie needed help with an experiment. "Donnie you know I'm not good at all of this Science stuff. Why would you want my help?" Raph asked his younger brother. "Because Leo is busy training with Master Splinter and every time I ask Mikey to help he ends up making a mess" answered Donnie as he finished with what he was doing. "You make a pretty good point. What do you want me to do?" Raph questioned while recalling the messes Mikey somehow manages to create for Donnie whenever they were in the lab together. "I created a soda that will never lose its fizz and I know how much you like cola so try some" answered Donnie as he offered Raph the drink he created. "Ok but this better not cause any strange side effects otherwise I'm kicking your shell" Raph said as he took the drink that Donnie created and drank it. "Not bad Donnie you may have created my new favorite drink" Raph exclaimed. All of a sudden Raph started to feel funny. "Raph are you ok?" Donnie asked as he noticed Raph was walking kind of funny. "Donnie what was in that drink you gave me?" questioned Raph. Donnie went over his notes and realized he made a mistake. "OMG I got my formula for the perfect cola and the youth syrum mixed up. I think you're going to turn into a…." before Donnie could finish his sentence Raph was turned into a toddler and was crying very loud.
"Donatello what is going on?" Master Splinter asked when he came into Donnie's lab to see what was wrong. "I thought I made a new kind of soda that won't lose its fizz because I accidently got my notes mixed up with an experimental syrum for youth. I can't believe it worked!" Donnie explained to Splinter. "My son you're very intelligent I give you that but turning your brother into a baby was irresponsible" Splinter pointed out. "I hope you'll be able to tur him back to normal. "Yes Sensei I'll get started right away and I'm sorry" said Donnie. "Mistakes happen now give me Raphael. I haven't held a baby in years" Splinter said as Donnie handed baby Raph to him. "Am I going to be a baby forever?!" asked Raph. "I doubt it if your brother can reverse what happened" Splinter answered. "Leonardo it seems that I need to get some supplies because of what happened to your brother Raphael. You're in charge until I get back." "Yes Sensei but what happened to Raph?" Leo asked when he saw Raphael as a small child and Donnie explained to Leo what happened. "It has been many years since I needed to find supplies for a young child" Splinter thought to himself as he went up to the surface. While Splinter was searching for supplies unaware to him Casey wasn't that far behind and was ready to fight. "That must be the rat who took my mother from me. I will end his miserable life once and for all" Casey said to himself as he followed Splinter around the City. "I feel like somebody is following me. Show yourself!" Splinter called out and all of a sudden Casey came out of the shadows and was ready to fight. "Who are you and why are you attacking me!?" "My name is Casey Jones. I'm the son of your sworn enemy Oroku Saki aka the Shredder and I'm here to put an end to you!"Answered Casey as he and Splinter their battle.
While Splinter was fighting Casey he wondered why the young ninja would want to battle him until the bitter end. As the fight continued Splinter noticed that Casey looked pale and sick. "Mr. Jones why do you want to fight me? I've done nothing towards you" Splinter pointed out. "I want to fight you because I want to put an end to you just like you put an end to my mother. 23 years ago you killed my mother because she protected me from you that way I could live. My father told me how you tried to satisfied your salvage appetite by trying to get to me. After my mother died Shredder took me in and trained me for many years. Now that I know that the monster who killed my mother is still alive I can get my revenge and end your miserable life myself!" declared Casey as he went at full speed swinging his sword. "Mr. Jones what Shredder told you were all lies. I know that I'm a giant rat but I would never want to consume people" Splinter told Casey as he did his best to dodge Casey. "That is a lie! My father would never lie to me and even if he did why would he say such a cruel and disturbing thing?!" Casey stated. "Because Shredder is evil and twisted. He is willing to get anyone to do what he wants" Splinter answered. "No I don't believe you!" Casey screamed but before he could strike at Splinter Casey fainted. Splinter was relieved that the fight was over. He went to check on Casey and found out that he was burning up. "This poor young man is gravely ill. I must take him back with me and treat him until he well again. Hopefully I can convince him that I'm not the enemy" Splinter stated as he grabbed the supplies he gathered and carried Casey all the way home.
