Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Forever Family (Original Trilogy Part 3)

Casey Jones

(The thugs stopped their jeep in the middle of the jungle, they slowly got out their guns and scanned the road ahead, there was no one there, the leader could have swore he heard something, suddenly a sharp projectile pierced the tire on their jeep and it scared the hell out of them, one thug lost his composure and yelled as he fired into the trees scaring all sorts of animals)

Leader: "Idiot! Idiot!"

(The thug stopped firing and took a step back when he was tripped by a green log..only it wasn't a log, it was a leg, suddenly a shadowy figure pounced upon the thugs, slicing through their guns with swift precision, kicking the other thug down leaving only the leader still standing)

(The leader panicked and drew his knife)

Leader: "What are you?"

Leonardo: "Trust me when I tell you, you don't want to do this."

(The leader charged him and Leo assumed a defensive stance, effortlessly disarming the man and giving him a swift uppercut knocking him flat on his back)

(And within a moment Leonardo had disappeared)

(New York City)

(It had been a year, a whole year and Leo hadn't come back, in his absence the family began to drift apart, they weren't a team any more, they were fractured and broken, Raph and Mikey had found a new place to live in the sewers and had over time made it into a decent replacement of the old lair with none of the memories that would have haunted them had they attempted to fix up their old home, Donnie on the other hand had moved in with April and it seemed to be working out well for them, April was completely happy to have Raph and Mikey stay with them but Raph had insisted that he and Mikey get out of their way and give them space and so here they were, one big happy family..not)

(Mikey and Raph didn't see a lot of each other, when Mikey was around Raph was asleep and when Raph was awake, Mikey was out, the turtles hadn't fought as a team at all since their escape from The Shredder 1 year ago, each of them knew Shredder would be back sooner or later and they also knew they were doomed without Leo, even Raph knew that, deep down Raph missed his brother, he'd never admit it and he hated that he did, but Raph wanted Leo to come home and put this broken family back together and yet at the same time Raph couldn't be more mad at him, not only for everything that happened last year but for leaving more than anything, Raph felt abandoned and lost without Leo, his feelings couldn't be more conflicted and so Raph took out his frustration on any and all low life street goons he came across, tonight being a perfect example of that)

Purple Dragon Thug: "What da hell kinda costume is that?!"

Raphael: "Aww what's sa matter chump? Never gotten ya butt kicked by a ninja turtle before? Allow me to give ya a proper demonstration."

(Raph attacked and pummeled the group of purple dragon gang members, despite his anger and frustration Raph fought with his natural skill and ninjitsu techniques, not trying to hurt them too badly just knock some sense into them, ever since Raph had slaughtered that group of Foot Ninja last year Raph had felt extremely horrified and guilty about how far he'd gone and so Raph vowed to be a better warrior, not only for his own sake but to honor the memory of Master Splinter, Raphael fought with honor from now on)

(When the purple dragons were knocked down the conscious ones ran off)

Raph: "C'mon. We were just gettin started."

(Suddenly a shadow fell in the alley around the corner and a mysterious figure started beating on the fleeing dragons)

Raph: "What the shell?"

(Raph spied on the scene from behind a dumpster and watched as a crazy guy with long hair and a hockey mask beat up the purple dragons with sports equipment, he used a hockey stick, a baseball bat and a golf club as weapons and carried them in a hockey bag on his back)

Raph: "That guy's outta control."

(Raph kicked the hockey mask wearing lunatic into a wall and turned to the dragons)

Raph: "Boo."

(The remaining dragons that could still walk scurried away)

Casey Jones: "Aw man they're gettin away! Stay out of my business freak!" (He punched Raph in the face knocking him on his shell) "You can run purple dragons but you can't hide from Casey Jones! Goongala!"

Raph: "What in the Shell?"

(Raph blocked Casey from pursuing the thugs)

Raph: "Whoa there buddy. I think they got the point."

Casey: "I told you ta get outta my way and leave me alone but since your ears don't seem to be working I think I'll have ta get my point across a whole nother way."

(Casey took out two baseball bats and twirled them)

(Raph's eyes narrowed, he didn't know what was up with this guy but he knew he made a prime candidate for a good butt whoopin, Raph took out his sais)

Raph: "Fine. Play ball."

Casey: "You got it Greenie!"

(The two ran at each other and clashed)

(Despite Casey's ferocity Raph still managed to take him on pretty easily, within seconds Raph had Casey knocked on the ground)

Raph: "Listen pal I think we're on the same side here. You just need to learn to control yourself, take it easy."

(Raph was well aware of the irony of him of all people giving this advice)

Casey: "You know what? You're right. You show me the error of my ways. Not! Fore!" (Casey knocked Raph down with a swing of his golf club)

Casey: "Nice try sucker! You wanna rematch? Come by Central Park Friday night!"

(With that Casey Jones sped away on a motercycle)

Raph: "Count on it."

(There was a knock on the door of the apartment, April answered it)

April: "Mikey. Hey!" (She gave him a hug) "I didn't know you were stopping by."

Mikey: "Yeah I just stopped by to drop off this whatchamacallit thingy Donnie wanted."

(He handed her the do hickey)

April: "Oh well I'm sure he'll appreciate it. Thanks Mike."

Mikey: "No prob. Well I guess I'll get going now.."

April: "Donatello! Your brother's here!"

(Mikey looked at April questioningly)

Don: "Huh? Oh Mikey. What uh..what are you doing here?"

Mikey: "I thought..I came by to give you this thing you asked me about."

(April shows Donnie the tool)

Don: "Oh..huh. That's weird. I didn't ask for that."

Mikey: "Oh. Okay then. Sorry for uh..barging in. I'll uh..head out now.."

April: "Mikey wait."

(Mikey turned back)

April: "We were just gonna put on a movie with dinner. Why don't you join us?"

(Mikey looked confused and opened his mouth to make an excuse when Donnie cut him off)

Don: "I ordered pizza."

(A huge wide smile formed on Mikey's face, a smile that belonged there but hadn't been there for a long time)

(Without another word Mikey bolted into the apartment and leapt onto the couch excitedly, April and Don laughed happy to have Mikey around again)

April: "Should I call Raph?"

Mikey: "Oh don't bother he's probably still fast asleep."

(Above the city Raphael was perched on a water tower, the breeze flowing through his bandanna making it flap in the wind)

Raph: "Bro..I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything I said. And..for everything I didn't say. We need you back...I need you back. Where are you Leo?"
