I guess you could say that I'm having a bad hair day...
Casey Jones was currently upside down on a metal X. He was covered in bruises and he was not happy.
...and a bad head day, and a bad neck day, and a bad shoulder day, and a bad pretty much everything right down to my pinky toe day.
Just below Casey, Hun walked into the cage. He grabbed a mic and pumped his fist at the surrounding crowd of thugs. Casey was then lowered down to where Hun is standing.
That walking landmass down there, I have him to thank for my current full-body makeover.
"Tonight's cage match championship will determine which team will win the honor of ridding the Purple Dragons of our most hated enemy." The confused Purple Dragons looked at each other confused then one of them asked, "Huh? I don't get it. Who's that guy?" Huh then put Casey's mask on his face and this caused all the Purple Dragons to get riled up. "It's the vigilante!"
But somehow, I get the feeling it's about to get a whole lot worse.
It was night time in New York and as everyone knows, trouble happens. Two Purple Dragons came out of an alleyway with crowbars in their hands. They looked at each other and smirked as they lifted up the metal door revealing a window to a jewelry store. The leader, who had a light green mohawk and a small light green beard, smirked as he walked up to a teenage girl with side ponytails. "Clutch time, Angel." He picked up a brick off the ground and told her, "Think you got the juice to be a Purple Dragon?" He handed her the brick and she smirked. "Oh, yeah. I got the juice." She threw the brick at the window and it broke.
The Dragons went inside and started to rob the place of its goods and money from the register. "Nice work, kid," The leader told Angel. Some of the Purple Dragons laughed as they walked out of the small store with their stolen items. "One more test and you're in," He told her as he handed her a bag filled with money.
The Leader walked out of the store and looked around the alley to see if anyone was around. When he saw no one, he gestured for everyone to come out. "Psst!" The leader turned around to see who was behind and before he knew it, a foot kicked him in the face causing him to fly into the Purple Dragons except for Angel. "See guys and gal, you never know what kind of fun you're gonna find on the old nightly training run," Mikey said as he was spinning his nunchucks. All the turtles had their weapons out and Casey was with them as well.
"Now class, who can tell me what he did wrong?" Leo asked as he pointed at the Purple Dragon leader. "You mean besides being a badly dressed, law-breaking, good-for-nothing low life street punk," Raph said as he spun one of his sais. The leader growled angrily then said, "Bust 'em up, Dragons!" The Purple Dragons ran towards the turtles and Casey while the leader ran inside the small store to protect himself. Casey jumped in the air and hit a Purple Dragon with his hockey stick. Angel just watched as the other dragons were getting beaten up.
"When are these dragons goons gonna learn?" Leo asked as he kicked a dragon with his foot knocking him out. "Green beats purple every time!" Mikey said as he spun his nunchucks and hit a dragon into the wall also knocking him out. Angel even moved out of the way so she wouldn't get hit. Raph then did a split kick, knocking out two more Purple Dragons then said as he spun his sais, "They'll all be black and blue by the time I'm finished with them."
Getting a little to freaked out and scared for his safety, Angel ran off in a different part of the alley but Donna saw her, "Boys, we've got a runner!"
"Don't worry, it's coming!" Raph said as he hit the surrounding dragons trying to attack him.
'I don't know who they are or what they are but I'm getting out of here!' Angel thought to herself as she ran. She quickly turned around to see if someone was chasing her but what she didn't expect was someone was already waiting for her. She ran into Casey who was ready to attack her. "Goin' somewhere?"
Once he got a good look at her, he said in a shocked voice, "Angel?" She quickly got up and continued to run as another Purple Dragon came from behind to attack Casey but he failed to since Casey got to him first and knocked him out but throwing him towards the wall. Angel soon tried to climb the fence to get away but Casey was able to catch up with her by grabbing her foot. "Let go of me, creep!" She tried to kick him to make him go away but Casey tried to calm her down, "Angel wait! It's me, Casey!" He removed his mask, showing her his face which calmed her down.
"Casey?" She jumped off the fence then asked him, "What are you doing here?"
"Stopping you from making the biggest mistake of your life!" Casey told her. "What? The Purple Dragons? Huh, no, they're my posse, my family," She told him calmly. "But you got real family at home." She turned around and just shrugged her shoulders. "Yeah, well, who asked you loser?! If I want to be a Purple Dragon, it's my own business!" She told him as she turned around angrily at him. "Until you stop breakin' the law, then it's my business," Casey told her as he took out one of his hockey sticks.
She then picked up the bag of money and told him, "Yeah, well, I don't see no badge on you!"
"And I don't see no dragon on you, not yet." Casey then put his hockey stick away and told Angel, "So, why don't you quit while you still got a chance?"
Angel told him angrily, "I ain't quitin' nothing. Tonight was my first test, tomorrow I pass my initiation, and then I'm gonna wear my dragon with pride." Angel started to walk away but Casey still tried to convince her to not become a Purple Dragon, so he followed her. "That dragon comes with a price. You don't know what you're gettin' yourself mixed up in."
Angel then thought of a way to get Casey off her back. "Yeah, maybe you're right!" She hit Casey with the sack of money hard then she climbed over the fence. "But I can still take care of myself!" Then she was gone.
At this time, the turtles came over to see what had taken Casey so long. "Casey, what happened? Who was that girl?" Casey stood up and looked off in the direction that Angel ran. "Her name's Angel. I know her from the neighborhood. I promised her grandma I'd keep an eye on her. Keep her out of trouble."
"So, she's a Purple Dragon?" Leo asked knowing what he and his brothers and sister would have to do if she was a Purple Dragon.
"Not if I can help it," Casey said with a determined look on his face. 'I will never allow her to make the worst mistake of her life. Not on my watch.'
Later that night, Casey had gone to a known Purple Dragon hang out. He was in a long brown detective jacket and walking down the sidewalk as if he was one of the Purple Dragons. He watched from the other side of the fence carefully as two Purple Dragons did a three-finger salute and the guard did the same, which gave the two dragons access to the hideout. 'Man, even Mikey could come up with a better hand signal than that, and he only has three fingers.'
Casey walked up to the guard and showed the three-fingered salute which allowed him access inside the abandoned building which had been turned into a wrestling match. Two dragons were even fighting it out as everyone in the audience cheered loudly for them. Eventually, a man wearing an orange shirt was hit with a crowbar hard and was knocked out of the ring. Several Dragons carried him out. "Is the initiate worthy of the Dragon?" The audience booed loudly signaling that the new guy was not worthy of getting a Purple Dragon tattoo.
Casey just shook his head in disgust. 'I can't let this happen to Angel. I just can't.'
"Let's bring on the next initiate, give it up for Angel!" Casey watched in horror as everyone cheered for her as she entered the ring. "Does she have what it takes to call herself a Purple Dragon?!" Suddenly, two men who were much bigger than Angel jumped into the ring and they were ready to fight her. "Oh, geez!" Casey said with a bad feeling in his stomach.
The man with blue hair tried to hit Angel but she dodged the attack with ease and hit him with her feet. Then she jumped in front of the man with iron boxing gloves and orange sunglasses and she fought with like it was nothing but what she didn't know was that the man with blue hair was behind her and he had a crowbar in his hands ready to attack him.
Casey got closer to the fighting ring and had soon had enough, "That's it." He put his hockey mask and took out his baseball bat and was ready to defend Angel. Casey ran up and jumped inside the fighting ring and shouted, "Angel, behind you!" The man with blue hair gasped as Casey hit him hard with the baseball bat. "Huh!" Angel turned around for a quick second then kicked the other guy she was fighting.
"What are you doing here?!" She asked clearly angry with him. "Your new posse was just about to cave your head in!" Casey told her. It was clear that the Purple Dragons were not happy with Casey's sudden appearance. Several dragons even entered the ring to fight off both Casey and Angel. "Come on! I'm getting you outta here!"
Suddenly, Casey was punched hard by none other than Hun. He picked Casey up by his head and he struggled to make him let go. "Hello, Jones. Long time no see," Hun said with a smirk on his face.
'How did he...?' Casey thought to himself but Hun says, "Think I don't know that's you under that mask, Jones. I've got eyes and ears all over this town." Hun threw Casey against the ropes of the wrestling ring hard. Casey fell to the ground in the ring and determined to attack Hun and save Angel, he picked up his bat and tried to attack Hun. This attack failed as Hun grabbed the bat and breaks it in two.
As this was going on, the other Purple Dragons were cheering loudly but Angel just watched in horror. 'What have I done?' She went behind the crowd and ran off to hide.
Eventually, Hun knocked Casey out and told the other dragons, "Lock up this piece of garbage. We'll play some more with him later."
Down in the sewers, in the turtles home, Donna was working on a new system for the Battle Shell. With her blowtorch and screwdriver, she was working in quiet until Mikey came by and asked, "Whatcha doing, Donna?"
She turned off her blowtorch and moved her goggles above her head, "I'm working on a remote control system of the battle shell."
"Sweet!" Mikey said as he touched the machine that Donna was working on. She smacked his head away as she continued to work on the Battle Shell with her screwdriver. "OW!"
"No touching, Mikey. These are highly sophisticated sensors when they receive a remote, they'll safely guide the shell to the signals point of origin."
As Donna was explaining how the remote control would work, Mikey was looking at everything on her work desk. He looked at the blueprint first then he found the remote. "And this is the remote dohickey?"
"Correct, but don't do anything with it. It's not finished yet so please don't..." It was already too late, Mikey had pressed a button on the remote. "Uhh... you were going to tell me not to press this, right?"
Donna quickly jumped out of the way of the moving Battle Shell and watched in horror as it drove towards Raph who jumped out of the way but his punching bag was crush by the car and soon it drove towards Leo and Splinter. Thinking quickly, Leo dropped the book he was reading and grabbed Splinter. "Excuse me, Sensei!" Leo saved himself and Splinter just in the nick of time but not before the chair, table, and the couch was destroyed by the Battle Shell. Donna grabbed her blueprints and her lamp and jumped out of the way. Mikey was still shaking in his shell so Donna had to grab Mikey and pulled him out of the way before the Battle Shell crashed into the wall crushing her desk.
Splinter walked over to Donna and said, "Donatella, your Battle Shell is a marvel of engineering, a true testament to your incredible mechanical skills and I never want to see it in our home again." He finished with his arms crossed and Donna looking at Mikey with an annoyed look. "Oops." Donna hit Mikey in the head. 'You made this mess, little bro and you better help clean it.'
Back at the Purple Dragon's base, Casey was trying to free himself from the chains but was proving to be unsuccessful. "Listen up, hairballs! It's gonna take a lot more than chains to break down Casey Jones! Do you hear me?! I won't rest until every last one of you dragon clowns is behind bars or pushing up daisies!"
Hun chuckled evilly as he approached the cell that Casey was trapped in. "Big words, vigilante. I ever tell you how much fun I had burning down your father's store when you were a kid."
"Least I had a father, Punk."
Hun grabbed Casey by the scruff of his shirt and told him. "Laugh now, sucker. Cuz tonight, the Dragons are having a Smackdown contest and you're surprised, whoever wins gets to wax your sorry butt once and for all." Hun dropped Casey to the ground and left him alone.
'Great, now what? I can't contact Raph or anyone else in his family.' A sound takes Casey out of his thoughts so he looks towards the sound and sees a foot kick through the ceiling tile and Angel jumped out. "Angel?"
Angel took a lock pick out of her pocket and was going to open the cell door. "I heard the whole thing, Casey. I'm so sorry I got you into this mess. I'm gonna get you out, I swear." She tried to pick the lock for a few minutes but she failed. She threw the pick and buried her face in her hands. "I can't do it. This is all my fault."
She started to cry and Casey began to comfort her as best as she could. "It's all right, Angel. Don't worry." Angel wiped the tears from her face and asked, "Casey what are we gonna do?"
"Listen to me, I have some friends who can help, real good friends. Go to the abandoned warehouse corner of Eastman and Laird, ask for Raphael, hurry." Angel ran off to follow Casey's instructions and get the help Casey needs before it's too late."
It took her a while, but Angel finally made it to the abandoned warehouse on the corner of Eastman lair. 'Did Casey make friends with some homeless dudes? No one has been at this place in years but if Casey says that help is here than I'm gonna trust him on that.' She walked to the boarded window and shouted, "Raphael. Raphael!"
There was no answer so Angel walked away from the window and began to look around. "This is Eastman and Laird, right?" The sound of the garage door opening startled Angel and she turned around four giant turtles with a huge truck. "Whoa!"
One of the turtles walked forward and said, "All right, kid. This had better be good."
Donna was currently driving the Battle Shell to Casey's location and Angel was in awe of the turtles. "I knew Casey hung out with some weird dudes, but you guys are off the charts."
"No way am I going out like this. Tell me people don't really dress this way," Raph said in disbelief. "It's a good look for you, Raph. Kind of a.. hip-hop, car burglar, stormtrooper thing. HAHA!"
"Don't laugh, green boy. You're next," Angel told Mikey as she handed him some clothes as well.
Donna parked the Battle Shellnear a nearby alley and this allowed her the opportunity to get her the human disguise on as well.
Angel lead them to the Purple Dragon base and told them, "Just be cool and follow my lead." Angel walked to the entrance and used her hand to show three fingers and each turtle did the same. "Good thing it's only a three-fingered salute," Mikey joked.
The turtles and Angel were able to sneak around the Purple Draongs as if they were always members. "Yesh, it's like we walked into an ugly convention," Mikey commented.
"Hey, then you must feel right at home, Mikey," Raph joked.
"Boys, knock it off. We need to blend in." Donna crossed her arm and Raph and Mikey did the same soon after. "You really want to look like a Purple Dragons, try and get your butt kicked by a ninja turtle." Raph and Mikey fist-bumped as he agreed. "I'm down with that."
The dragons were fighting and cheering as Leo was making a plan in his head. Onc he had a plan, he told his brothers and sister. "Okay, guys, take note, we got exits there and there," Leo gestured to the exits to the north and south of them. "Guards posted around the perimeter, everyone is pretty heavily armed, so can we try and avoid a fight?"
Donna, Raph, and Mikey looked at each other and Donna told him, "Leo, I'm pretty sure that we are going to cause a fight within ten minutes or less, at least."
"Right, what was I thinking?"
A cage went down over the wrestling ring and Hun was in the center ring. "Tonight's cage match championship will determine which team will win the honor of ridding the Purple Dragons of our most hated enemy." Casey was lowered down closer to Hun as he was talking.
"Lousy thugs, I've got your most hated enemy right here!" Raph took out his sais and twirled them in his hands but Leo stopped him from doing anything. "Easy, Raph. Let's not blow our cover just yet."
Hun put Casey's hockey mask on, causing the Purple Dragons to cheer even louder. Hun left the cage and the announcer said, "So, who's ready to battle it out for a shot at the vigilante?!" More Purple Dragons cheered as a small crowd of them went into the cage. "Come on, come on, there's gotta be more takers than that! The order of the Dragon is at stake here!"
"We need to get Casey down from there, but how are we gonna get him down from there?"
"I know how to get to the catwalk," Angel told them.
"Go with her, nothing fancy, just stick to the shadows and cut him loose," Leo told her and Mikey.
"Fine, freeing Casey is going to be a girl's job with just one Mikey."
"What are you two going to do?" Mikey asked Leo. Leo looked at the cage and saw the spotlight. "We'll make sure that spotlight says on the cage. Now, go!"
So, Donna, Mikey, and Angel went to free Casey while Leo and Raph went to be the distraction. "Last chance to rage in the cage! Any takers?! Any takers at all?!
Raph and Leo went into the wrestling ring and Raph asked, "Is this gonna work?"
"You know a better way to buy some time? Besides, you need the practice."
"Moi?" Raph asked shocked. The two walked into the cage and the announcer said, "Two new initiates have entered the competition!" The Purple Dragons in the cage looked at Leo and Raph as if they were fresh dog meat. "Let's show 'em how Purple Dragons treat newbies!"
As the crowd was cheering, Angel, Mikey, and Donna were on the catwalk, quietly making their way to free Casey. Donna and Mikey had their weapons out and Donna saw that there were two guards. The three got down low and Donna said, "We just need to take out those two goons without drawing too much attention."
"Any bright ideas?" Mikey asked. Donna looked around and saw the spotlight. "Yeah, a real bright idea."
As Donna was making her plan to free Casey on the catwalk, Leo and Raph were defeating each of the Purple Dragons in the cage. Raph jumped on one wall of the cage when a Purple Dragon was chasing him ran into the wall and fell to the ground unconscious. Leo kicked one with a crowbar and Raph kicked another one who was about to attack Leo. Raph dodged the attacks from one that came from behind and punched him a few times until he fell unconscious.
Leo was soon back to with Raph and said, "Okay, Raph, maybe you're a little unclear on the whole concept of buying time. We still gotta leave a few of them... STANDING!" Leo kicked the last guy hard and it was soon evident that they were the only ones left. "Sorry."
Up on the catwalk, the two guards were watching the fight from above until Angel said, "Psst. Hey, guys." They looked at her and she said, "Lights on!" She turned on the spotlight, blinding both of them which gave Donna and Mikey the advantage to knock both of them out. Mikey actually hit one so hard, he almost fell off the catwalk but Angel saved him. "Lights out."
Now with the guards knocked out, Angel, Donna, and Mikey went to free Casey. "Angel, thanks for dropping by and you brought company."
"You're very lucky that we trusted Angel since she knew Raph's name. Besides, someone has to save your butt, Casey?" Donna told him as she used the lever to bring Casey closer to them. Once he was above the catwalk, she used her bö staff to open the shackles holding him. Angel and Mikey helped him down and Mikey got his mask off. Casey groaned as he tried to level the blood back to his body. "I brought you a present," Mikey told him bringing out a bat which caused Casey to smile and a tear to fall down his left eye.
Down on the ground, the Purple Dragons were cheering for Leo and Raph since they were beating every Purple Dragon that challenged them. Hun and his second-in-command were watching them carefully and Hun was suspicious of them. 'No newbies can fight like that. They are either spies or idiots. Also, their moves are familiar but where have I seen them?'
Leo skidded on the ground dodging another attack for two Purple Dragons. He stood up from his spot, straighten up his clothes, and told Raph when he came closer to them, he said, "Jeez, I can barely move in this stuff. What is the deal with humans and clothes?"
Raph knocked out the Purple Dragon that he was fighting, turned to Leo, and said, "You ever seen a human in his skivvies? Trust me, it ain't a pretty sight." All of a sudden, a big Purple Dragon grabbed Raph by the scruff of his jacket, spun him around, and threw him so hard his clothes came off his him. Everyone gasped at the sight of Raph. "Hey, it's one of those kung-fu lizards!" Hun tensed in his spot and said, "Oh no."
Raph stood up and corrected as he took off his sunglasses, "Turtles. TUR-TLES! Don't any of you lamebrains know a turtle when you see one?" This riled up the crowd even more and the one in the cage came to and tried to attack Raph but failed as Raph did a flip in the air and kicked him hard. "Raph, I think the biology lessons are the least of our problems right now."
Hun forced the cage door open with just his bare strength, Hun walked towards Leo and Raph with an angry expression on his face. Raph walked up to him first and blocked a punch from him. "YOU!" Hun said clearly remembering the trouble Raph caused for him. "What's the matter, lard-butt? Still mad I walked out on your little Q&A?"
Hun grabbed Raph by the shoulders and held him up against the cage wall. "In case you haven't noticed, reptile, that time I let you escape!" As Hun was talking, Leo took if his human clothes and said, "Hate to break up the tearful reunion!" He jumped in the air, landed on Hun's shoulders, and hit him hard enough to make him let Raph go.
"Dragons, get 'em!"
All the Purple Dragons got up from their seats with weapons in hand, ready to fight the turtles. Now, Donna and Mikey have taken off their human clothes and jumped off the catwalk and to the ground. "What'd I say? Ten minutes or less we'd cause a fight."
"Sorry, dudes. Fan appreciation day is next week." Three Purple Dragons jumped to attack Mikey and Donna but they defeated all of them.
In the cage, Raph was fighting Hun. He was kicking him a bunch then started to punch him. "Do me a favor! Be a cooperative little mountain and just goooo...!" Hun hit Raph hard enough to push him back and caused a dent in the cage. "...down," Raph said a bit weakly. Hun started to approach Raph, ready to finish him off but Leo stopped him by cutting a loose part of the cage with his katana which caused it to fall on Hun, which only stopped him long enough for Leo to help Raph. Hun lifted the loose cage part like a feather and threw it at Leo and Raph.
"Come on, Mikey. Our bros need a hand." Donna and Mikey jumped into the cage and kicked Hun hard into the cage causing another side to bend. Hun stood up and Mikey said, "Don't look now, but Tiny still wants to dance." Tired and angry with the turtles for the last time, Hun used his bare strength to pick up the edge of the cage and make it collapse on all of them. As Leo was freeing himself from a part of the broken cage, Hun grabbed both of Leo's katanas from his back. Hun lifted the swords over his head and just before he attacked them, Casey tapped his back. Hun turned to him confused. Casey beat his bat in his hand then he swung his bat hard enough to fly Hun across the room and into the stands. Raph gave him a thumbs up.
The rest of the Purple Dragons started to surround them with all kinds of weapons in their hands. "Take us out of here, Donna."
"Don't worry. I have just what the doctor ordered." Donna brought out her remote and pressed a button on it. "Oh, taxi!" Mikey shouted while waving his hand. After he said that, the Battle Shell came busting in through the garage door which caused many Purple Dragons to flee in fear.
"About time that thing busted somebody else's place for a change," Raph said then Leo opened the side door and everyone went inside except for Angel and Casey. Casey stood over a knocked out Hun and it was obvious that he was ready for revenge. "This one's for my dad!" Casey was about to kill Hun but Angel quickly stopped him. She shoved him and Casey asked confused, "Angel, what are you doing?!"
"Stopping you from making the biggest mistake of your life!" At first, Casey was a bit upset but then he realized that killing Hun wasn't the answer. He smiled at her and said, "Thanks."
"Hey, what are friends for?" Angel told him. The two went into the Battle Shell then it drove away into the night.
Later that night, the turtles drove Angel back home. Casey walked her up since the turtles had to remain out of sight and they didn't want to scare her grandma. Casey knocked on the door and the door opened soon after. "Angel?" Her grandmother said in surprise. "Grandma!" The two hugged happily. "Told you I'd keep an eye on her."
Angel's grandma hugged him as well. "Thank you, Casey. Thank you for bringing back my Angel." The turtles looked at each happily knowing that they reunited a family tonight and had one less Purple Dragon to fight. "Now, I've got a pie fresh out of the oven and I insist you come and join us." Casey gave them a thumbs up just as the door closed.
"Pie? Yo, Case, how about introducing grandma to your friends?" Mikey asked. Raph put an arm around Mikey and said, "Forget it, Mikey. We're ninja, we stick in the shadows."
"The unsung heroes of the urban jungle," Leo told him as Raph helped him in the Battle Shell. "We are the silent protectors of the way of Bushido." Donna turned the key and started to drive back home. "So, what kind of pie you think it was?" Raph slapped Mikey on the back of his head. "OW! What?!"
I am so sorry for the late update. I've been so crazy busy, it's not even funny. But just a heads up, I am fine. Everyone, please remain calm in this time of crisis. I know that everyone is scared and I am as well but panicking will not work. Panic will just make things worse. Everyone, please remain safe and healthy by washing your hands diligently and being careful to NOT touch your face, eyes, nose, or mouth. It's especially hard for me. My college has already taken measures by extending spring break and having all classes be online until further notice. (Sorry to all you high schoolers out there) Thank you for reading and I will see you all next time in Garbage-man. Bye! :)
