CH:41 Fallen Angel

After the turtles and Casey are all suited up and weapons hidden, we split. The guys casually walking through the front door, flashing the three fingered salute to get in.

I sneak around the building to find a way onto the roof, without any luck. So I don't waist any more time and just focus really hard, charging the muscles in my legs full of energy for a super jump. Coming in for a hard landing on top the building. As a last stitch of effort to be silent, I attempted to catch myself in a hover a few inches off the concrete, like I did in training. It kind of worked, slowing my acceleration and allowing me to land very softly with a roll. 'Like a ninja do', I couldn't help but think to myself with a grin under my mask as I head towards the closest vent and shimmy my way through.

In no time at all I'm on the inside. While staying concealed within the shadows of the ceiling, I start looking for the turtles in their disguises. I quickly spot their oversized jackets hanging out in the back as they look over the crowd. Since I've noticed there is no one to close around them, I decided to call Leo's T-phone to let him know I'm in position.

Leo picks up barley letting it ring, "Ying?"

"Hey Leo, I'm in the rafters." I respond just as quick.

Leo gives a sigh of relief, "Okay everyone take note, we've got exits there and there." Pointing at where they entered from and the garage door in the back of the building. "Guards are posted around the perimeter and everyone looks pretty well armed, so can we try to avoid a fight."

As Casey and the other Turtles just stare at him I say, "Really, Leo?"

He sighs, "Ya, right.. What was I thinking."

Donny takes the phone from Leo and asks, "Hey Ying, do you see any power cables up there? When all shell goes sideways it would be nice to have the upper hand."

I give a quick look around at the light fixtures, "No dice compadre, it looks like everything is wired straight into the metal beams. But I do have a fair arsenal of throwing stars that would work for the light bulbs."

With a grin he says, "That will do nicely."

Leo takes the phone back, "Just stay out of sight for now and don't show yourself until you have taken care of those lights... and stay safe." He kind of whispers the last three words before quickly hanging up the phone. Raph gives him a bit of a side eye before the mood shifts in the building, drawing everyone's attention.

A huge man walks onto the wrestling ring in the middle of the building. Almost 7ft tall and basically a walking land mass of muscle with a long thin blonde ponytail. His black muscle shirt and jeans really make his tattoos stand out. He has a huge purple dragon tattoo covering his one arm and the Foot Clan symbol on his other shoulder. With a closer look I can see a small but deep scratch-like scar on his jawline.

As he holds a mic up to his mouth I look down at the turtles to see them barley holding Casey back.

"Purple Dragons! Tonight's cage match championship will determine who gets to go up against my number two and if you win, then you can take her place as the new number two! But first we should get this initiation underway." The whole crowd screams and yells with anticipation as the cage gets lowered while the big brute of a man walks off the stage.

A loud MC takes over the mic, "Now who's ready to r-r-rumble for a shot to take down HEX and take her place as the NEW NUMBER TWO!!! Come on! Come on! Come on! There has got to be more takers than that, the honer of the Dragon is at stake here!"

I look back down at my guys as it looks like Leo is giving a plan. 'Man I need to talk to Donny about some ear pieces or something... This on my own shit sucks...' as I grumble to myself I noticed that Raphael is heading towards the cage. Leo, Mikey and Casey spread out through the crowd and Donny heads towards a back room. I think for a moment, 'Raph is probably going to make sure that all eyes stay on the cage. While Donny is probably going to look for some kind of computer or something to find any information. And the other three are probably looking for that huge man that made Casey so angry.'

While I finish up my inner monologue the MC continues his narration, "A new initiate enters the competition, let's show him how purple dragons treat newbies!" As the door of the cage closes Raph gets surrounded by nine guys and a serious brawl commences making an uproar of cheering explode from the crowd.

As I look through the crowd I notice that Mikey and Leo are stealthfully and silently taking out the security guards without anyone noticing but I completely lost sight of Casey. Before I can really look for Jones though a commotion from the cage draws my attention. As I look up at it I notice that most of the gang members now have bats and crowbars.

'Time to get this show on the road.' I think to myself as I move to a better spot so I have direct line of sight to most of the light fixtures. As I get three throwing stars between my fingers almost ready to throw them, I'm a tad to late. One of the Dragon brutes grabbed the clothes on Raph's chest, lifting him off his feet and giving him a good shake, flinging him out of the clothes and into the bars on the far side of the cage.

Shouts can be heard from the crowd, "Hey!" "What the..." "It's one of those kung fu frogs!" "It's a leaping lizard!"

This ticks Raph of even more then being tossed around like a rag doll as he shouts out, "We are TURTLES!! Don't any of you roids-for-brains know a turtle when you see one?!"

At this point that giant man comes back onto the stage. With a growl in his voice he says, "Word is that you and your buddies have been disrespecting the dragon all over the city."

Raph turns towards him and gets down into a fighting stance, "Finally a challenge."

"I'm so going to enjoy ripping your shell off." The brute says right before he charges at Raph.

'No time like the present.' I think as I start whipping the throwing stars at each light. Hitting them almost perfectly, surprising myself with my accuracy. As each light ruptures the crowd gets showered with sparks and the room falls to darkness.

My T-phone starts to vibrate and I answer it before it rings as to not give my position away.

Donny's voice is on the other side, "Ying, what happened? The lights started going out."

"Raph needed some cover, you should hurry up though. I think your brothers are going to need some help."

With a "Roger, Roger", He goes to end the call. But before he hangs up I hear a young woman ask, "What the fuck are you doing in here--"

At the sound of her voice, the thought of Casey's old wounds and the description of the person that gave them to him flash through my mind. So hurrying, I go back to smashing all the lights before I rush off in the direction that Donny went.

As I drop to the ground and run to the office door I pray to the stars that everyone else will be fine till I get back.

I kick the door in to see a black and blue Donny, on his knees grasping at his throat to get air. While this tiny 19 year old bitch, with long braided purple pigtails that went down almost to the floor, has a whip wrapped around Don's throat and her foot on his chest to make it tighter.

With a snarl, a jump and a twist, she looks up just in time to see my boot meet her face, knocking her to the floor in an instant. I quickly turn back to Donny to get the tight rope off his neck.

While gasping for air he spits out, "She is so... Young and... Feisty! ...I... She caught me off guard..." He finishes kind of blushing a bit.

As I throw his arm over my shoulder to take his weight I say, "No worries D, let's just get you out of here." And we head for the door.

Just before we walk through the threshold, I hear a snap of a whip and pain through my tail. As she wraps the whip around the base of my tail she starts giggling maniacally and gives it a good yank, throwing me into the ceiling. I come down even harder as she gives the whip another good yank. Before I can come out of my dazed and confused state from being thrown around like a rag doll, she comes up and spartan kicks me into Donny. Sending us flying through the door into the main area.

As I shake my head and jump to my feet I can't help but mumble, "She is ruthless."

With a creepy giggle she steps out of the office with the light behind her being the only light in the building, it illuminates her silhouette and the sides of her face perfectly. "And here I thought you would be a challenge but talk about a let down, pfffft!" Then her giggle turns more into a maniacal cackle.

Casey comes out of the crowd and slowly takes a few steps towards her, "Angel? Is that you?!"

She turns to face him causing more light to spill across her face, "Who the fuck told you that name?!"

Casey removes his mask pushing it up on top of his head and says, "It's me sis. Casey Jones. I came looking for you to take you home."

I see a flash that goes through her eyes before it disappears just as fast, "Pfffft! Ha Ha HA! News flash dick-weed, I. AM. HOME!"

"Wait... THIS is your sister?! Man you got some serious family issues!" I couldn't help but blurt out at Casey.

She screams like a banshee, "Lies! The dragons are my only family! And my name is HEX!!" Before she tries to use her whip again.

Casey steps between us with both his black baseball bats displayed in each hand. He looks over his shoulder at me and says, "Go. Get Donny somewhere safe. It's time I have a little family reunion." Then looks back at the little Tramp and yells, "Goongala!" Right before she flicks her whip, he jumps at her swinging his bats.

As I watch him fight for a short moment I couldn't help but mumble, "He is bold for being so squishy, does he know he is mostly water?"

While I help him over to the wall close to the door Donny chuckles a bit before saying, "He is a bit more exuberant than most humans, I guess."

After I set Donny down, I stand up straight and look around the crowd to see which turtle I should help first. Although, before I can even spot them all, Raph gets an insanely hard kick to his chest by that Brute. Shell first, he comes crashing through the cage bars, flying across the building and smashing into the wall next to me. Causing a large shell-like dent with multiple cracks in the concrete wall. Raph slumps to the ground unconscious, practically looking dead... And apon seeing this I loose all control unlike anything before...
