Izuku and the TMNT: Heroes Out of the Shadows

Chapter 68: The Raid Part 3: A Son's Fury/ Yokai Izuku vs Overhaul.

[Insert Soundtrack: Cocina - Aranzazu Calleja (Start: 0:18)]

Fire. One of the main things Casey remembered from that night. The fire devouring everything around the ruined pharmacy. The smoke rising, reaching the eyes of those watching from a distance in New York City. On the ground, on his knees, five-year-old Casey stared at what was left of his parents' business, his heart torn by the loss-both of the place and of his parents, who had been inside. Just ahead, Hun, still young, watched impassively. His cold eyes, devoid of any compassion, were fixed on the boy. He didn't even flinch at the flames around him. His gaze carried indifference, as if the destruction meant nothing to him.

Suddenly, the image of five-year-old Casey merged with that of the adult now standing there, wearing his hockey mask. The same gaze, once filled with sadness and shock, now brimmed with pure hatred. The target of that hatred? Hun, who stood just a few meters away, next to Overhaul and his goons.

Overhaul: "You again, the so-called Devil of New York." - He said, looking at Casey, not intimidated by the group's presence. - "How did you and your two friends get past Mimic to get here?"

Casey: "None of your business, bird-face! And stay out of it, because my business isn't with you..." - He said, once again directing his gaze toward Hun. - "It's with him!"

The tension between the two seemed almost tangible. The silence was broken once more by Hun's words, dripping with disdain.

Hun: "You really don't let things go, do you, Jones? Came all the way from New York to still try and kill me?"

Casey: "Wow, what a genius! Where'd you get such a smart conclusion like that? Unbelievable!" - He said with clear sarcasm, before becoming serious again. - "I've waited years for this, and this time... you're not escaping me anymore."

Without a hint of regret or fear, Hun merely shrugged.

Hun: "As cocky as ever. You're going to need more than that."

Overhaul: "Nemoto, Sakaki. Deal with them." - He said with a wave of his hand, clearly bored with the situation. - "Hun and I have more important things to do." - He said as both leaders turned, ready to leave.

Nemoto: "Yes, Master Overhaul."

Nemoto, one of Overhaul's henchmen, clad in a black cape, hat, and a plague doctor mask, positioned himself in front of Casey, Mondo, and Leatherhead. Hearing that they were about to escape, Casey started running towards Hun, but he quickly felt his body lose balance and fell to his knees. It was as if the world began to spin violently around him.

Mondo: "Casey?!" - He and Leatherhead were confused by what had just happened before they both began to feel the same effects.

Casey: "What the hell... What's happening?" - He asked, struggling to stand, but when he tried, he collapsed to the ground again.

Leatherhead suddenly felt liquid fall on his head. When he looked up, he saw a man laughing and drinking, clearly enjoying what he was seeing. The man was clinging to the ceiling with a mocking grin, drinking from an upside-down bottle, letting the liquid spill onto Leatherhead.

Sakaki: "Heh, what's wrong? Are you guys so drunk you can't walk straight? Got wobbly legs?" - He asked as he looked at the group, continuing to drink. - "No judgment, mine are too. That's why I don't stay on the ground."
