A/N thank you to clay342, Shiane Ventures, Star of Night, PeaceLover13 , and Mezza999 for reviewing my last chapter. I'm so glad everyone is enjoying my story so far and no one had a problem with me choosing Mikey to be the bad one. Here's ch 3 for you and just some FYI I changed how April and Casey meet the turtles. I figured since this was AU I could do it so there's that. Also there's some mild swearing but nothing to bad. Anyways enjoy and as always see ch 1 for disclaimer.

Ch 3 Ten Years Later

Ten years had gone by since that fateful night when Michelangelo was lost. As he had promised to himself Raphael had done really well to control his temper. But Raphael was a hothead by nature and their were times when he lost his cool. He and Leonardo especially fought. This was mostly because Raphael was jealous that Leonardo was becoming such a good ninja and his skills were more advanced that Raphael's were. But the real topper was recently when Splinter had named Leonardo the leader. Splinter had allowed his sons to go topside a few months ago when they turned 15. This was after repeated attempts by them to convince him to allow them to do so. Splinter had been reluctant to let them go because he was afraid something may happen to them. But the brown coated rat knew he couldn't keep his sons confined forever and he had faith that they were skilled enough to protect themselves. This turned out to be a very good thing because they had meet two new friends along the way. One of them was a redhead girl named April O'Neil. The other was a dark headed boy with missing front teeth named Casey Jones. They had met them when April and her dad got attacked by some thugs. Casey and the turtles both tried to save them at the same time thus how they met. Raphael had especially gotten close with Casey. The two had the same temper and the same drive when it came to stopping criminals. This wasn't always a good thing though because there had been several times in which Casey, Raphael or both had done something without thinking and had to bailed out by the others. This day was one of those days as well. Only it was just Raphael that was in over his head. There was a new criminal element in town like none had ever seen. These newest thugs weren't really thugs at all. They wore all black and had advanced ninjutsu skills. And Raphael decided he could handle these guys on his own. He had followed some of them down towards the docks where they were stealing a shipment that had just come in. "Alright," Raphael thought spinning his sais in his hands. "Time to teach these clowns a lesson." With that Raphael jumped down and using his ninja stealth he managed to get the drop on some of the criminals and took them out. But the red masked turtle had underestimated the true skill of these criminals and soon found himself outnumbered and outmatched. But Raphael wasn't about to go down without a fight. With his sais in hand Raphael charged full force at his foes and quickly took some of them down. But it seamed that the more he took down that more came in their place and Raphael soon found himself trapped. "Great," the red masked turtle thought. "Now what?" The suddenly he heard a shout, "Gongala!" Raphael looked up and saw Casey and Donatello come swooping in. Casey had his hockey stick in his hand and Donatello had his bo staff in his hand. The duo succeeded in taking down the criminals that had Raphael trapped allowing them to run. But Raphael was determined not to leave without doing what he came here to do. And that was stopping the shipment from being stolen.

"Raph what are you doing?!" Donatello shouted when Raphael ran the opposite way. "We gotta her out of here!"

"I ain't leavin' 'til I stop those clowns!" Raphael shouted. "You guys can leave if you wanna but I'm stayin'!"

"I'm with ya Raph!" Casey shouted following Raphael.

"Ugh you guys are insane!" Donatello shouted rolling his brown eyes. But the purple masked turtle followed his brother and their friend down towards the main unloading area. Once they arrived there they saw what seamed like hundreds of the black clad criminals loading the shipment of chemicals into an unmarked truck.

"There's so many of them," Donatello whispered his eyes wide.

"Well genius figure out a way we can stop 'em," Raphael said his arms crossed in front of him.

"Ok let me think," Donatello said getting out his hand held device. This was his T-phone and all the turtles along with April and Casey had them in case they needed to contact the others. After a few minutes Donatello said, "If we can over ride the dock's security system then we can overload their circuits and make the lights go out and set off the security system at the same time!"

"And by we you mean you right?" Raphael said waving his hand.

"Well yeah," Donatello said giving his brother a gap toothed grin.

"Then do it already!" Casey said impatiently. With that the trio headed to the dock's main security office. After taking down the guards Donatello approached the computer and began typing away. Raphael and Casey stood guard to make sure they weren't snuck up on. But the pair failed to notice two masked figures sneaking up on them. One was a slimmer built figure and the other one was a heavy set figure with a bulky back. The duo decided to ignore Raphael and Casey and focus on Donatello instead. Donatello was to busy working to even notice the two approaching him. But just when they were about to attack a green blur came swooping in promptly kicking the duo across the room. Donatello jerked his head up in surprise. "Leo!" he shouted. "I didn't think you were coming!"

"Well it's a good thing I did," Leonardo declared his katana blades gleaming in the moonlight. Leonardo braced himself for another attack as the criminals were getting back up and were charging towards him. But just when they were about to connect Raphael and Casey came onto the scene. Raphael tackled the bigger one while Casey took down the slimmer one. But the two easily recovered and promptly thew the red masked turtle and his dark headed friend off of them.

"Keep them away from me!" Donatello shouted still typing away. "I'm almost done here!"

"No sweat," Casey said pulling his hockey mask down. Raphael groaned and Leonardo rolled his blue eyes but neither one of them said anything. They just attacked. Raphael and Casey took on the bigger one and Leonardo took on the slimmer one. But as fast as the turtles were their opponents were just as fast. The bigger one had a pair of nunchakus in his hands while the slimmer and had katanas very similar to Leonardo's. And each used their weapons with precise accuracy. "These aren't just any thugs," Leonardo thought. "They're ninjas." Leonardo lunged at the slimmer one only to have his attack dodged causing him to stumble. Without hesitation the slimmer one kicked Leonardo hard sending him crashing to the ground. His katanas went flying across the floor. Before he could get up the slimmer one got on top of him pinning him to the ground. Holding the one of their katanas to Leonardo's throat the slimmer one spoke, "Pathetic," they said. Leonardo's eyes went wide as he realized the voice was female. "That's right I'm a girl," the slimmer one said. "And I don't know who or what you are all I know is you're going to pay for interfering with my father's business."

"You're father?" Leonardo said. Just then he heard a grunt and saw Casey and Raphael go crashing to the ground. The bigger one advanced on them and hit Casey hard with his nunchakus sending him sailing across the floor. Raphael had gotten up by now but before he could attack they heard Donatello shout, "I got it!" With that the purple masked turtle hit a final button which caused the lights to blow up all at once. Then an ear piercing alarm sounded. This got the bigger one's attention. "Come sis we've gotta get out of here!" he called.

"Right behind you," the girl called. Then she turned towards Leonardo and said, "Another time freak." With that she threw an egg shaped ball on the ground causing the room to fill with smoke. Leonardo got up coughing violently. He and his brothers and Casey exited the building only to fond all the criminals were gone. "Great just great," he muttered still coughing.

"Well at least they didn't get the stash," Casey said pointing to the truck that was still there.

"Yeah only because I slashed the tires when I came here," Leonardo snapped glaring at Casey.

"Good thinking," Raphael said

"Well someone has to think around here!" Leonardo growled his blue eyes fiery. "Because I sure as Hell know you weren't tonight Raph!"

"Leo I..." Raphael began.

"Just save it!" Leonardo shouted. "We'll talk more at the liar. Right now we need to leave before the cops get here." With that the three brothers and their friend headed back to their sewer home.

Meanwhile the two criminals had returned to their own liar. "Man Karai that really sucked," the bigger one said taking off his mask and tossing it on his bed.

"It wasn't so bad Kenshen," Karai said taking off her own mask and sitting beside her brother.

"Not so bad!" Kenshen cried out his blue eyes wide. "How can you say that?! We failed the mission. I don't know about you but I'm sure as Hell not looking forward to telling Father about this."

"We didn't fail Kenshen," Karai said putting her hand on Kenshen's shoulder. "We got this." With that Karai opened her hand and revealed a canister of the chemicals they were supposed to steal.

"Big deal," Kenshen said taking off his black cloak and tossing it beside his mask. "We were supposed to get a lot more than that."

"Well maybe when Father sees this he won't be so angry," Karai said trying to reassure her younger brother.

"I highly doubt that," Kenshen said. "You know how Father gets. But something else troubles me sis."

"Yeah those guys who interfered," Karai said with a grunt.

"Yeah them," Kenshen said. "They seamed familiar to me. And it could have been the darkness but I could swear..."

"Swear what?" Karai asked her brown eyes looking into her freckled faced brother's blue ones.

"I swear they looked just like me," Kenshen said. "They looked just like mutant turtles."

A/N well there you are folk ch 3 complete. Have you guessed who Kenshen really is? I bet you have. Hope you all enjoyed and as always please review.
