Turtles And The Human (T.M.N.T 2003 Fanfiction)

Chapter 4 Meet Casey Jones

In the lair the four turtle's were training as Splinter and Takeshi observed the duels. Mikey was fighting Raph and was taunting him. "Ha! Nice fall, Raphael. Just come on back if you want some more of that." Raph got up from crushed boxes, and pulled one off of his head. Uh-eh! You've had it, Mikey. Mikey blows on his fist and rubs it against his plastron. "Bro or no, you've got to go." Raph Leaped at Mikey and swings at fist at him, which Mikey ducks.

Mikey looked at Raph. "Good reverse punch." Raph aims a sweeping kick at brother's head, but Mikey dives under his leg. He continues kicking at him, but Mikey keeps jumping away from him. "Nice roundhouse kick too, Raph. Whoa, not a bad dragon punch either, but you're just a little too slow." He smacked the back of Raph's shell and sent him careening into the wall. "Actually, much too slow." Raph groweld and ran towards him, swinging a punch that connected which sent Mikey flying backward and hitting the wall. "Oof!" and rubbed his head.

Master Splinter and Takeshi appear, both looking on as Raph growls and rushes at Mikey again. He begins kicking and punching Mikey, who effectively dodges every attempt.​ Raph looked furious. "You think you're better than me?" Mikey backflip out of reach. Raph ran at Mikey. "Do you?"​ They grapple, locking hands with their arms lifted above their heads. Raph appears very angry, but Mikey is wearing a mocking smile. "No, you're just too cocky, Raph." Mikey twists sideways and throws Raph, who lands on and shatters a table. As Raph rises, Mikey turns away from him and begins walking towards Don, Master Splinter, and Leo. "Winner and still champion, Michelangelo!"

Raph goes behind Mikey, and grabs a pipe off the floor. The others react in shock. "No, you. . . you . . . uh ahh!" He leaped at Mikey, who turned just in time to be hit in the chest and knocked back on his shell. Raph put his foot on his chest, and loomed over him with the pipe, which he held menacingly. "Raph, wait!" Mikey lifted his arms to protect his face. "Wait!" Raph lifts the pipe, growling loudly. Takeshi appeared next to Raph and trapped his arm with his own. "Raphael! Have you lost your mind?"

Donnie went to Check on Mikey. "You okay, Mikey? What were you thinking, Raph?" Raph was breathing hard and realized what he was doing. "I... Takeshi... He drops the pipe. "Mikey, I..." He clutched his face in anguish.​ Splinter​ walked to Raph and set his hand on Raphael's shoulder and his son looked up. "Ah, my son, so angry. Rage is a monster that will destroy you from within. Raphael, a true warrior, finds balance in all things." Raph Stood up. "Master Splinter, I . . I . . . uh . . . I gotta get some air."

Raph runs from the lair. Mikey starts to go after him, but Takeshi stops him. "Let him be, he needs a minute." Sometime later Mikey handed Donnie a hand drawn picture of a truck with satellite dishes mounted on top. Mikey looked excited. "See, Don, we can have our very own battle shell. I've even got a name for it, I call it the 'Battle Shell'. I got it all figured out, turbo boosters, double action traction, cool secret . . . thingies shooting out the back. We should be tricking out the armored car."

Donnie was welding something while Mikey talked. "By we, you mean me, and I don't have the time. There's too much to do around here." He then takes the picture from Mikey, wads it up and tosses it on the ground. "Besides, where would we keep the thing?"​ Michelangelo picked up the drawing. "We can find a place. Just think about overhauling the wheels. Please, please, please, please, please. Did I mention that you're my favorite turtle?"

Splinter looked at Mikey. "Shh! Leonardo is working on perfecting his ninjutsu skills. Perhaps something you two should consider. Leonardo, leaping split-kick." Takeshi held up two boards and Leo leapt Into the air. He attempts to kick them, but Is Ineffective and lands with a groan of frustration. Splinter placed a comforting hand on Leo's shoulder. "Try again, my son. It will come with practice." Takeshi looked at Leo. "Patience, Leo you will get It." Leo smiled at the two.
