Howdy folks, things are heating up now, this chapter's action packed with Purple Dragon mayhem. But never fear, Casey's here to save the day…sort of. So put on your hockey mask, and breakout into the night, it's time for another chapter of TMNT Those Who Tell Lie!


They were perched on a window on the second floor of the building. They peeked inside to find members of the Purple Dragon gang. There was a crowd of people surrounding about a dozen other members. The ones surrounded by the crowd were significantly younger, except for one. The man was tall and thick, he looked like a giant among them. He had blond hair that was tied back, and on his muscle bond arm was the gang's symbol. It was a long fire breathing purple dragon that rapped around him. His powerful voice easily shouted over the roaring crowd. Raphael and Casey recognized him immediately. It was Hun, the leader of the Purple Dragons. Casey had first seen him when he was a boy, the day his father died, back than he was just another member, but now he has risen as the leader.

"Do you think this kid has what it takes to become a Purple Dragon?" Hun shouted.

The crowd was wild and brutal. They screamed for blood. And Angel, who was right in the middle of it, raised her fist in triumph. She had a confident smirk on her face. The energy of the crowd filled her with adrenaline. She was ready to fight anyone that came her way.

The initiation was a test of endurance and fighting skills. The new members would face each other in an anything goes battle. Angel was first to fight against another member, it was another boy her age. They faced each other in silence, the crowd shouted louder and louder. They began to circle, each still facing the other. Then, in an instant, they attacked. It didn't matter to them when their knuckles would throb by the powerful force of their attacks. All they wanted was to bring the other down. She struck fast and hard. Angel's opponent didn't feel it right away when her fist struck his nose, breaking the bone. It wasn't until he fell back that he realized he was losing the fight. The adrenaline rushing threw him muted the pain. However his world was spinning. Every attempt he made to plant his feet firmly on the ground failed him. Angel knocked him down with another strike, ending the match.

They cheered for her, and she shouted with them. She was ready for the next one. But the one she struck down wasn't ready to move on just yet. As she turned from him, he reached into his pocket. He pulled out a switchblade and charged towards her, but before he could complete his attack he fell down to the ground. Angel turned around to see her fallen attacker. Something had struck his leg. The weapon was a heavy brick, and it didn't come from anyone in the crowd. Before anyone could figure out who it was, the lights above them burst leaving everything in darkness. Confusion took hold and Angel felt someone taking her away from the crowd. Suddenly the people around her were gone.


Casey was carrying Angel and ran into an alley way that hid him from the Purple Dragons. He let her go and she turned to face him. She saw the masked man whom everyone was looking for. Right in front of her the enemy of the Purple Dragons. She was about to attack him, but he pulled his mask off revealing his face. Her eyes widened when she saw him.

"Casey! Just what do you think you are doing here?" she said.

"Stopping you from making the biggest mistake of your life," he told her. "Angel you have no idea what you're getting into!"

"This has nothing to do with you! How did you even manage to get me out of there?"

"You can thank me for that." Raphael emerged from the shadows, much to Angel's surprise.

"You brought your friends to babysit me, Casey? I'm not a kid any more. You won't be looking over me!"

Angel quickly slipped past them. She rushed though the maze of buildings as they followed close.

"Where are you going?" Casey shouted.

In a split second she turned behind a building and disappeared. They had lost her. Raphael and Casey split up to cover more ground. There were Purple Dragon members in the area, so they both had to stay hidden. Casey pulled his mask back on and searched for her. He thought she might have gone back to the Purple Dragons. However, he decided to check the buildings themselves. He used the back and alleyway entrances to not attract attention, but most of them were locked. At last, one door opened. The room was dark, but from the few streams of light coming from outside he saw someone. Sure enough, Angel was there. She was standing with her back to him. Her fist were clinched tightly besides her. She was looking down at the ground, just waiting for him. He approached her.

"Angel," he said softly. "I don't know what made you think of coming here, but I gotta know why. I've known you all my life and I wanna know why you would throw your life away for these thugs?"

"I'm not throwing my life away, they're my family." She said.

"What? Angel you got real family at home," Casey said.

He was going to pull his mask up a second time, but then he heard laughter from the room. The lights were switched on to reveal Hun.

"I can't believe it. Right in front of me the nameless vigilante." He smirked. "Guess you're in, girly. You can fight and you brought us our enemy."

"She's not going anywhere with you!" Casey moved into a fighting stance.

Hun cracked his knuckles and laughed.

"I've been waiting for this for a long time." He charged at Casey and tackled him down.

Casey tried to dodge, but was pinned down before he knew it. His shoulders were grabbed and shaken repeatedly, causing his head to hit the concert floor. Hun stood up and pulled Casey up with him, as he did. Seeing her close friend being hurt, Angel instinctively tackled him down to defend Casey. It was enough to throw him off balance, causing him to stumble. Her surprise attack didn't give her much of an advantage; he then knocked her down with a kick. He regained his balance and attempted to attack her again, but Casey jumped on his back and rapped his arms around his neck.

"Get out of here and find Raph!" He managed to say before Hun reached over and flipped him to the ground.

Angel heard the sound of Casey's weapons bounce off the ground. She didn't look back. She had to find help. In a panic she burst through the doors and ran thorough the alleyways in search for Raphael.

Casey was having the fight of his life. Even though he was feeling dizzy, he picked up a bat and swung at Hun. He connected the weapon as many times as possible, trying to keep the upper hand. If Hun were to lead the fight, it was over for Casey. Compared to Hun, he was too small. Then as he swung again, a miscalculation made him miss. Instead of Hun, the wooden bat hit the ground splitting at the tip. Pieces of wood went flying into the air and scattered. Hun took hold of the bat and pulled Casey toward him. As he was pulling, he used his other hand to punch him across his cheek. Even with the mask, Casey felt it. His powerful strikes kept coming. Hun pulled on his hair and slammed his head to the ground. He continued this motion like a savage angry beast. Casey stopped fighting; he fell limp while Hun was still holding his hair. Hun laughed.

"Now to see who you really are."


Angel couldn't find Raphael. The night was dark and she was afraid of shouting his name. She didn't want to attract the other Dragons. She turned onto another alleyway and finally found Raphael.

"Raphael!" she said.

"Hey there you are," Raphael said. "Listen you gotta get o-"

He was cut off.

"Yeah I know whatever. Raphael, Casey's in trouble Hun's got to him!" she said.

She quickly grasped his hand and led him towards Casey. "He's fighting with him right now. We can't take him on our own!"

Angel led the way back to the building where Casey was fighting with Hun. They burst through the door. They found Hun reaching over Casey, ready to remove his mask. Raphael quickly launched at Hun, throwing him off balance. Casey didn't move from the ground. Angel ran up to him.

"Wake up! Come on move!" she shouted.

"Hmm…huh? What the- where's Raph?" Casey heard a loud battle cry and the sound of Hun crashing against the floor. "Oh never mind, found him."

"Casey, we have to move, get out of here before the rest of the Purple Dragons find us." She supported him by his shoulders so he could get on his feet.

His head was spinning, but he couldn't leave Raphael to fight Hun on his own. He pushed himself off from Angel and attempted to join the fight.

"Don't worry… buddy," he was struggling to speak. "I'm here to help-"

He collapsed before he could finish his words. Though still conscious, he was struggling to move. Once again Angel helped him to his feet.

From the corner of his eye Raphael saw how Casey struggled to move. He had to buy him enough time to escape, so he kept fighting. Even with all his years of training, fighting against someone as massive as Hun was a struggle to say the least. He was three times the size of Raphael, and his punches where more powerful. Raphael, however, could take the hits. Pain was secondary; Casey's and Angel's safety was priority.

For a while Raphael had the upper-hand, but in a split second Hun took over the fight. Hun seeing that he was losing, quickly reached for one of Casey's weapon's and swung at his stomach. Hun proceeded to attack him with the weapon. Caught off guard, Raphael failed to dodge his attacks. Angel was already near the door when she saw Raphael fall. She gently lowered Casey into a setting position by the door.

"Sorry Casey, this won't take long," she told him.

She reached for Casey's golf club and ran over to Hun. He didn't see when Angel ran behind him and struck him with the weapon. Hun felt a flash of pain and fell to the ground.

It took a minute for Raphael to realize what had occurred.

"Wow," he said. "Good job Angel."

"Think nothing of it, now come on, let's get out of here."

Angel and Raphael made their way to Casey. Casey's arms reached around their shoulders in order to be carried back to the alleyway. They ran as fast as they could from the scene. They took most of his weight. If it wasn't for the throbbing headache, he would have felt as if he were gliding down the street.

"He's in really bad shape," Raphael said. "And I ain't feelin' too good myself."

"We're home free, just as long as we don't run into the Purple Dragons."

Raphael saw some people hiding in the shadows. For a second he thought he had imaged it, he quickly looked back and confirmed what he saw. There was a group of men following them, too agile to be the common gang members they face.

" We're being followed, pickup the pace here."

"Raph, what are you talking about?"

Before they knew it, they were surrounded by three men dressed in black.

"Where the hell did these guys come from?" Angel said, surprised by their sudden appearance.

They didn't say a word, they only attacked. The men took hold of them. Raphael was pinned against a wall of the building. The man twisted his arm to his back. He had an iron grip. Angel struggled, but was pinned to the ground as Casey fell besides her. Casey was too weak to fight back, and Angel's attempts to break free were meaningless. Only Raphael was able to break away from them. He than went after the other two who were taking Casey and Angel. He was able to break them free for a moment. Angel quickly took Casey and aided him to a hiding place. Raphael provided the necessary distraction. He struck their heads between their eyes, temporarily blinding them. They ran for cover as the fallen men regrouped. They hide in another building, and from a window they saw that there were more of them. Raphael couldn't believe his eye's when he saw them. Dressed in black, each of them with a weapon strapped to their backs. He knew they were looking for him, but he couldn't figure out why. He looked at Casey and wondered if the men were working for Hun. Regardless of the reason, they were being pursued.

They were in enemy territory, with dozens of men on their trail, and Casey was down for the count. It was then that Raphael decided it was time to call for back up. He pulled out his cell phone and began to dial.

"What are you doing?" Angel asked.

"Calling in our reinforcement, if Leo can't get us out of here then I don't know who will."

Thanks for reading !

I guess I'll take this opportunity to replay to last chapter's comments. Since it was only three I think it's okay to answer them here, I'll continue doing this unless I get more reviews (here's hoping but it's for fun anyway) or am too busy to add a long author's note. First of all thank you for reading this, it's much appreciated.

For Poisoned Dark Angel's comments.

Don't worry Donny's going to get his chance to kick some tail. And as for Raph and Leo sharing a room, hey not all of us are lucky enough to have our own room during high school, though I wish I did =). Me and my sibling had a relationship like Raph and Leo, if we somehow managed to not kill each other, than so can they, I hope. Besides it's fun to watch them fight :-) .

I can safely say that yeah the turtle's personalities or at least their counterpart's personalities, are going to be explored more deeply in the upcoming chapters. Since this is an AU fic, their character and motivations for being how they are, are much different than the shows. (Raph's fiery temper, and Leo's role as leader for example) So as the story goes on there's going to be some history revealed about the AU turtles. Oh and Yes Shredder and Kari do have a role in this.

WOW that reply was a lot longer than I thought it would be =/

Thanks for the review, lol siblings are a handful. But I always loved Don and Mikey's relationship in the show, lol they are both so lighthearted when compared to Leo and Raph.

Thank you all for reading! if you can reveiw, i wanna hear what u think!
