One day the Ninja Turtles were forced to look for a new home by Baxter Stockman, his M.O.U.S.E.R.S. and Old Hob, where they came upon April O'Neil in her father's old antique shop which was observed by Angel. Since the Dragons already had unpleasant encounters with other mutants from the Foot Clan, there was a battle between the Turtles and the Dragons until Casey joined them and was able to clear up the misunderstanding. Despite some reservations Angel eventually helped the Turtles, free their father Splinter from the clutches of The Shredder, and supported them from than on against the occasional machinations of the Foot Clan.
