Mayhem.

And likewise Splinter makes no comment either, even if his amused and his whiskers and tail flicked and twitched and he smothers a low chuckle in a ahem. 

Well she was a pretty young woman so he couldn't blame his son for being momentarily distracted.

He moves with them, impressed this time, Leo had most of his brothers complete attentions, and they were moving. 

As usual there was a bit too much force behind Raph's and Mikey had to slow himself and Don focus but they were pretty close.

Ooooh she looks up sheepishly she hadn't meant to cause a freeze - but she smiles watching the turtles with a sigh and slips an arm about Elena and Liam drawing the little turtle into the softness of both of them, " woooow it's like a sort of dancing on its own isn't it?" soft and low to the children.

they were so cute and sitting behaved for the moment, when they became restless she would move them.

Don appreciates the assist from his brothers.  That actually does help. If he had been teased as he'd expected, he'd probably be a wreck right now. He's still having trouble focusing, but since he's desperately trying to despite the myriad of distractions, it's actually sort of coming across about his normal level of focus. Which, admittedly isn't the best. At least not in the dojo. About half way through, he finds stride and is able to block out their observers and bring his attention to the kata.

And Leo is thankful too! He'll even allow that as passable, and let them move onto something else.

"Raph, a little too much there, and Mikey you need to watch the tempo. Don, focus. All the way through. It's nit picky. They did fine. He then turned to the visiting Donnie and Mikey.


Are you two ready?"

Their formation falls apart as the bigger turtles get it together, Erica pulled Liam closer, he sank into the warmth  and softness of Elena and his brother immediately piled closer too, a bit clumsily because they were also watching the big turtles with wide eyes and mouths.

A grin and giggle and Erica abandons the book and translations again whilst helping the little guys resettle about herself and Elena - 

Liam and Elena on one side Randal and Malcolm on her other and Duncan made himself comfortable on her lap, she siiiighs amused and glad to cuddle them, and fine she was more than pleased to just watch the big turtles.

Donnie and Mikey watched, awed in their own right of course, unlike the other interdimensional turtles these guys actually seemed to know what they were doing.

they both had began stretching watching these definitely more buff versions of themselves -

this was advanced katas Donnie could tell.

And like his counterpart already Donnie knew he shared the 'technique is sound' but 'focus is not' though he was putting on serious Donnie face.

This meant nictating eyelids were sliding up into place and the friendly buzzing talkative mode that was his usual self was gone.

This Leonardo like his own probably felt being distracted by a girl was a problem. And it was... but his Leonardo also turned it into Donnie's greatest strength.

Now when he practiced and sparred Donnie would imagine he was protecting April, from his brothers, from the Mighty Mutanimals when they trained with them - and he had fought Karai and Shinigami in the past to defend his beloved red haired kunoichi so when it came to katas and sparring with them he could revisit the fear of losing her feelings and find that 'zone' between his thoughts ... He would be strong as the mountain for April. Every time. Even in simple movement exercises like now.

He and Mikey bent at the waist when this Leo came over to them.

Both responding at the same time " Hai Sensei!"

Straightening and beginning the routine they'd seen, less hesitation this time or need to correct himself this time because as he stretched Donnie had slowly gone through the stances. Though perhaps a tad slower than the buffer versions of themselves.

Mikey was excited he couldn't sit  - uh stand still - hopping from foot to foot and grinning at Donnie from time to time - gaze moving about the lair and eyeing the rat with longing and sadness... the pretty brunette with a cheeky wink and the kids with that anime huge eyes muffling squeeees -

And seeming not to pay even a forth of the attention Donnie was to the buffer turtles katas. 

When this Leonardo came over though he was ready and bent with his own brother, " Hai Sensei." 'evil eyes' on and he had the first few moves wrong because unlike Donnie he was looking elsewhere - but he picked it up quickly.

Leo nodded as they came to the end of their kata. It was far from clean, but not a bad attempt for having seen it once. If it had been his brothers, he would make them do it again for several reasons, though the most obvious had been that Mikey had only been paying a tiny bit of attention and had missed a good chunk of it entirely. Which... was not surprising, but definitely amusing, and not unlike his own Mikey. It's not unlike what he would have expected of his own brothers a couple years ago if they had been in the same position.

If he had been surprised by the white eyes, he hadn't shown it, and he could hear Don whisper something to Mikey and Raph just before the other turtles began.

"I won't make you do it again because you're guests, and it's new.

Leo considered his options at this point. Normally he liked to put a little more time into katas... Maybe he would. Especially since Don seemed to be a little chatty. As he turned, he looked at his purple masked brother. Though he had missed the actual words, he knew Don had been the one speaking. He didn't anticipate any problems with this particular kata. It was advanced as well, but his brothers knew it well, and if Leo wasn't very much mistaken, they sort of liked this one.

Turning to his brothers, Leo called out a second kata. One they've done before, but it was good to keep up on this sort of thing. He wouldn't make their guests perform the second one. Afterward, they could move into sparring.

Don had grinned when the counterparts had used their nictitating membranes. He whispered to Mikey and Raph, despite Master Splinter's close proximity. He couldn't help himself. They'd just been talking about these the other day! Or was it yesterday... The past few days had sort of all blended together in his mind.

"Look, they use their nictitating membranes."

Normally, he probably would have teased his brothers for now knowing how many eyelids they had, but they'd helped him refocus instead of making things harder just a moment ago, so Don kept the teasing out of his comment in return.

He watched as they performed their kata. Don actually learned a lot more from watching someone else do the kata than he learned from verbal corrections. That was part of what he liked about being in the middle of their line. he could see both Mikey and Raph, and how they worked through the katas.

There is a slight sheepish look as Leo eyes him for the talking. He'd been busted. He knew it.  And it's not as hard to focus through the kata this time. Don is pretty sure Leo called this one because he trusted them to do it right with all the observers watching. Now that he's actually a little removed from the goings on at the transition from the kids training to their own, Don is better able to focus in this kata, and it's clean

Erica thought the nictating eyelids were damned cool. Especially as the eager clapping little boys put theirs up too!

EEEEe!

then - she had to herd them out in a little group because they were beginning to become restless watching wanting to copy and squirming and tugging on each other and Elena was chatty - so she shushed them and lead the out of the dojo - hoping she might catch the end of the big turtles training after rumbling little bellies were sated and kids were playing quietly. Or as quietly as children could.

First the noisy play - as she set about making dinner. Something filling cause she hadn't seen the turtles eat lunch though she knew the kids had.

Or they be howling for food by now -

And so she let the kids play forte under the kitchen table and with the chairs as she filled the lair with cooking. A simple carbonara. Cause pasta was always a hit with children. No fighting on vegies either, she let them have washed, slightly warmed vegies to chew on whilst waiting to chew on.

It was a pleasing sight watching the guests as well as his sons work along side him. He switched easily through the stances, smooth and unhurried but with that speed that came with practice and precision. 

A unseen grin as the girl seem to tire of the kids crawling all over her, she certainly seem to like watching them - but he could smell the cooking some time after and was glad she had made her way out with them they had the weapons training and sparring to go.

Raphael tried to take it in this time.

Again marvelling a little even when the kids left and the young woman he still didn't feel the need to push back against Leo's nit picking though he did maaaaybe pull off a subtle middle finger salute in the middle of one of his forceful moves. But it was less heart felt than usual.

And Don's whisperings made him grin and nod, but he manages to pretend he hadn't and look serious when their leader shot a look this way.

and boy was he sniffing a little at the air - looking forward to thoroughly earning that dinner with these advanced moves and sparring. hoping weapons would come out now babies were for the  moment out of sight.

Donnie grins and almost fumbles then - but corrects his over eager step and pulls him mind back to the task at hand of katas.

And Leo didn't ask them but they repeated anyways and this time moving to join the line well sort of at the end and in the sort of shape as the bottom of the l so they could watch more moves and given them a go.

usually both would have loved the chance to not train but their Leo would want them to learn as much as they can and Donnie had asked to join in so they could work out too.

Mike had laughed under his breath and grinned at Don, " I know that's pretty danged cool right?" whispering back then grinning innocently at Leo, this felt much more normal a sensession and it would go on like this for some time - then switch up the kata - he was focusing, even witht he offered distraction of his and Don's young looking counterparts working along with them. they seemed quiet advanced to along their training, though this latest kata seemed a little trickier - 

then again they were working from watching mostly. 

Not to mention it was so damned cool that Splinter was practicing with them!

" weapons training this time?" he wonders out loud - okay he might attract a Leo look himself but he hoped some weapons training -

mmmm that smelled good whatever it was.

Mikey nodded at Leo but like Donnie moved to join in and keep going, shaking his head through a kata and saying, " oooh no my Leo said -" he stands up straight for a moment thought a kata and best impersonation of Captain Ryan and his own Leo. 

" Mikey whilst you are there you will behave, listen to Donnie, the other me and make sure you and Donnie be helpful around their lair, respectful to their Sensei and friends and learn as much as you can or no cooking for a month.' 

Impersonation over and back into the katas with a shudder and gasp.

the horror of being banned from the kitchen.

Away from Ice Cream Kitty!

Leo would probably have scolded Mikey under normal circumstances, but this time it was a fair question. The kids seemed to be off with Erica and from the sound of it, she had things covered.

"Yes, Mikey. Weapons."

He then responded to the other Michelangelo.

"Well, in that case, I should make you do 50 flips for insubordination and speaking out of turn." Leo smirked, "But I won't because I would rather see you with your weapons. Mike, Mikey, let's see what you've got. Don, Donnie. You too." There was enough space in the dojo for two sparring matches. Three would be a little crazy though. And Leo wants to see these other turtles in action.

It wasn't often that Don got to go up against someone else who had actually made the bo his own weapon. Once upon a time, the occasional Foot goon, but they hadn't really been anymore skilled with the weapon than say Raph was.  Don and his brothers were all capable with each others weapons and several others, but they were far more skilled with their specialties.

Don pulled his bo out, and gave it a quick spin, before getting into position where Leo had gestured. He had watched their counterparts in the kata, and they were quite skilled. It was going to be an interesting match.

Mikey first looked alarmed, cause damn it he sounded like his Leo!

" we are never letting you and our Leo hang out or we will be all buff ninja in no time!' then he grins and turns to eye the bigger Mike. [color:4142=ff6600]" alright the Big M you better bring your A team game for all this..." 

Mikey himself was sort of bouncing on the spot... this was going to be fun!

" Big M? huh I like it -" Mike grins and turns to the smaller guy. He'd been in this villain take down game not to underestimate the small innocent oh so cuteness of his own counterpart. 

" bring it on Lil M." 

He sniffed the air but now was not the time to be distracted by yummy smells. Nope.

Time to give a beat down! " we can make this interesting - here you have one of my chucks and I yours." holding out one of his beloved nunchucku grinning. " Annnnnd I think with all that's going on our Leo's will probably get hang time so might as well accept it." A grin at his own Leo.

Splinter chuckles and moves back a bit away from the main fighting area watching and approving the pair off and coming tot he end of his kata tale curling about his feet. " I will request a leave Sensei. And go and help our guest out." 

He had the strength and stamina to keep going but there was small enough room as it was for the sparring of all these turtles and he could stay a little longer.

then again he had meant it entirely when he said Leonardo would have full leadership. and this was a good chance to proof he meant it, and an excuse to come back with pre bath and bed time of the children to watch the end of training and see how it went. And of course watch with the young woman and soon to be sleepy little ones.

but he waits for the all clear first.

His earlier chattiness was stifled, though he managed a half grin at Mikey's words and Leo's response to them. His 'evil eyes' still up and a nods as Leo proposed sparring partners. Donnie pulling his staff from it's usual spot and like Don giving it an experimental twirling and whirling his staff.

There was a grin at Don - this was as new to him too, barely any used a bo and the times his brothers had tried it had been a disaster they were not good with each others weapons.

Mind it could be a disaster for Donnie a lot of the times too his six foot staff with it's hidden blade had a happen of being blasted and burnt.

Or sometimes Raph would lose his temper and snap it over his knee.

" bet you could show me a few new moves." he invited his counterpart with a small nod of his head and readies himself. And he is pleased with his own less chatty, deeper, stiller tone.

In the zone.

Raph grins at Leo, " you should probably make him do the flips anyways..." he tells his brother as he moves away from the line to clear the way for the two sparring partners and elbowing Leo.

A little surprised at Splinter requesting a pardon, but he supposed it was the next step in leadership and it didn't stir his jealousy as usual. Maybe a little. But he didn't feel the urge to needle Leo or start a fight between them.

What the heck had those kids done to him? 

He sniffs the air and grins, " sure you just don't wanna have some of what ever that is with the little ones?" he teases their father then Leo with a " you and me after these boozoos right to show em how it's really done?"

Oh wrong. That felt so wrong when Master Splinter called him Sensei.

”Of course, Master Splinter.” also weird.

When Master Splinter leaves, Leo visibly relaxes. He hadn’t realized he was so tense. Between “Master Splinter the Student” and their observers, he supposed there was reason he might have reason to be somewhat tense.

Both the Donnies and the Mikeys actually seemed eager to spar with each other. That was a nice switch. Don and Mikey didn’t typically complain per se, but they were almost never eager like this.

He laughed as Raph suggested making Mikey flip anyway.

”Oh, if he’s anything like our dear brother, I am sure there will be plenty of other opportunities.”

He called a start to the sparring match as Raph teased their father, and grinned at the question.

“You know it. Though, I’m tempted to see if I can make the other Mikey squirm.”

The smaller turtle was quick, and seemed as unpredictable as, if not more so than, his own.

”Only one way to find out.” Don grinned, sure there’s plenty to learn himself. He shifted to a ready position, he likes starting out on defense, and waits for Donnie to make the first move. The fun disappears, mostly, and he’s focused now.

He’s feeling good, and will be on top of his game.

Half a grin and he steps forward -



Normally Donnie was not an aggressor, but for this sparring he would, discovering quickly they were reasonably well matched, well somewhat the Don had more experience on him and strength.



Donnie had a little more agility given his own shell was more flexibly and maybe his focus on protecting his not even here girlfirend added extra fire to his sparring.




Counterpart had the upper hand but donnie was not giving ground or up!




And enjoying it, actually pretty much nailing the katas and moves he'd been taught with his own brothers, and getting the newer ones he'd only practiced once or twice here only half right and losing ground in those moments.




the last and a better block move with his staff he was learning from Don!

Mikey grins, " allll right!" he agrees holding out one of his chucks and holding a hand out for one of Mike's.



And discovering pretty quick Mike's Nunchaku did not include Kusarigama chain or a hidden switch blade. And also giving Mike a moment to learn that about his own, not telling him though.
He was unable to stay still even in these moments of just looking and sniffing and touching the familiar but unfamiliar weapon.


Then his moves became more pronounced, more ready, at Leo's call to start launching an attack that was less Ninjitsu and more capoeira in style aiming to swipe the legs out from under his opponent from the get go.

Splinter chuckles and hopes Leo learns to relax more into this role. the rat would always be there for him, but no longer at least in the martial arts side of things above him in the pecking order.



Somewhat more levelled as far as the clan and matters went, though Splinters was more advisory role there now.



Even more so now he was Ratpa!


He thanked Leonardo and told Raphael 'absolutely' and slowly leaves the young men to the practice the afternoon would turn to evening and they would have to eat, get kids to bed and head out on Kraang Missions, but for the moment practice!

" oooh coool" Mike found this other chuck lengthened in his hands and the blade! - his grin becoming decidedly mischievous as he skips the chain twice - eeeeping when the smaller cute Mikey moves!



His own speed and agility at least saving him from going shell down!
And much like the Donnie's he learned fast he had experience on his counterpart, and was stronger - but damned if the little guys wasn't all over the place at once! and used even more dance moves that Mike himself employed, though that cute little hope and arms up he learn from Elena's ballet definitely saved him from shell down a few times.

Raphael sniggers waving away their dad and at Leo's words, " I am hoping you do - maybe make ours squirm at the same time." he puts in hopefully and watches with an approving 'hum' the two sparring pairs, impressed, it seemed Don was actually on form and focused and well he wasn't sure about the younger one but he was holding his own.



Blinking at the speed of the Mikey but pretty sure their own orange speed demon could handle it.


" any wages of which turtle ends up on his shell first?" He asks his brother in blue grinning at him, this was an uncommon, not rare but uncommon, moment for them, standing side by side in the sparring arena no jabs or jibes or pointed remarks, snarks or jerkiness. No name calling...




Just actual brotherly teasing and joshing about their other brothers, even the interdimensional ones!

Once the match began, Don is more than willing to become the aggressor. And he recognizes that block. Nice.

And just because he can, after some time as passed, he switches styles completely. Transitioning from the sharp Japanese use of the staff that Master Splinter started teaching him long ago to a more 'flowery' Chinese-based style. He wants to see what the other turtle does. Though he's pretty sure the adjustment will be made quickly! And he would be a little surprised if the other turtle doesn't use some similar moves himself.

This was something he mostly managed to pick up on his own, though. Since it wasn't a technique Master Splinter really knew, his use is at least in part created through much trial and error. He normally has a little of this semi-Chinese style in his own personal technique, but he had pretty much kept that to himself up to this point. No longer.

Leo relax? Surely you jest? He's a good candidate for a stress induced heart attack at 40. He has mixed feelings about this new role he seems to be taking, and only once Master Splinter has fully left the room, and is long gone, does he look toward the door he had left through. Briefly. He doesn't dwell on it. At least not at the moment.

He is very happy with these pairings. It's a good match, and he can tell all involved have learned something from this. And so has he! He grins at Raph. He doesn't have a guess who's going down first. These are good matches. He's not going to do a 2 on 1 match, though it could be fun... Not right now, but Raph has planted the little seed in his head. Two Mikeys would be intense. Could be fun.

"I don't know. It's sort of fun watching Mikey get a taste of his own medicine though." Leo laughed softly.

Oh, and Don is switching styles. That could get interesting. He nudges Raph and draws his attention to that match.

The switch in style sets Donnie behind his counterpart, and he is truly surprised by this. He wasn't an expert in styles of Earth three of course but the tempo and flow and stances all entirely changed so he was of course only guessing there was a shift in the style.

Maybe to a whol other discipline!

So... he counters with his own shift in style, not one he was particularly proud of though, it was more quarter staff styling but it did so far prevent him going shell down!

Not proud of it because the moves were medieval knight - ish had less finesse in is opinion than the florally designs his counterparts staff was now doing but effective none the less for that!

For now!

Okay what the/ how exactly did he end up with tightie whities on?!?!?!?!

" these are not even cleaaaaan!" he whines - but at least his double also somehow ended up inside a hoodie so big he looked like a ten year old trying to wear her dad's clothes - hah!

And this weird sparring just escalated from there! he found himself enjoying the extra reach the chains gave him - mindful to not hit Don or Donnie - and the speed at which they moved! Him in there oooh god what was splotched on all over these human undies! and why were they men's human undies?! ...

why were their human undies?!?!!

" I'll have you know I washed those last week!"

Flip! out of the way of that foot! and throw the end of his chuck at Mike!

" with soap!"

hurried dodge as the Mikey sends the end and Mikey tries to bring the swing back into play but it mostly reeling it in!

" in the bathtub with me!"

it still counted!

He was sure...

And boy was it hard to be serious when he was wearing this! " this looks like a cocktail hoodie dress!"

Watching the Mikey's - indeed own medicine - 

He grins feeling Leo's nudge and turns his attention to the Donnies, wowing he hadn't seen those moves from their own Don before - had he? really?

nah Raphael didn't think so -but they were sweet! " yeah Don break out some new mooooves." Approvingly though not familiar with the style, his, if he had to switch styles was wrestling.

- then turning to look at the Mikeys... plural and holding back snorts of laughter - how the heck? hooow?

He long ago learned to ignore other matches, but... the one behind them is pretty hard to ignore! Still... he's managing.

There's almost a grin when the quarterstaff moves come out. He's not entirely sure what the origin is, but he saw the shift.

And Don switches again, this time to his normal style, which combines the two styles. It's not an equal blend, and is heavy on the Japanese style he was taught, but every once in awhile that second technique comes into play. He likes that it can be harder for an opponent to track that second end of the weapon.

Over here, blocking your strike with this end of the bo. Do you know where the other end is? Because it's coming in low.

Leo is now frowning at the Mikey match. Where had all the CLOTHES come from?! And Ewwwwwww!

"That's disgusting, Mikey." He called out regarding the 'washing' of the undies.

Goodness they were fast. No wonder Mikey had done so well in the Battle Nexus. He's not telling Mikey that though. No need to bring that up again. No one wants to hear the aftermath.

Leo then responds to Raph's call out to Don.

"I've seen him use those moves." Leo informed Raph. "He’s been figuring out that style with Master Splinter for a couple years now. It’s sort of incorporated it into his own. Though I'm not sure I've seen him put that much together at a time and fully switch like that. Usually it's a little here a little there."

Nope Donnie could track it, but quarter staffing was great for blocking and side to side it was not good or quick agile a style enough to match the lower end and block it. He tried but missed and was not prepared for the knock or trip.

Though he was managing to keep the crazy of the Mikey's distraction out of his mind and was still focused.

But was aware even as he went to correct his move to catch the lower end of Don's staff that he was probably a pace behind and might end up on his shell or at least bo less or with a knee knocked of stability. Hopefully no tail whack cause those hurt!

Less than what it would if he were a human getting knocked in that region. But near enough.

" yeah see grooosssss - and by the way why are these mens undies!?" Well maybe not? perhaps things were different in the alternate universe?

He was assuming.

And it seemed the two of them had the same thought, whipping the long chain chucks around at the same moment and both dodging out of the way and somehow ending up plastron to plastron.

In a all out grapple of course Mike was assured he could defeat his smaller opponent quiet easily but before they could brace and try it out - the chucks swung all the way around completing their arcs and wrapping about the two turtles.


They topple sideways.

Whoa! 

With his chucks wrapped about them and Mike's chucks flinging away in some unknown directions Mikey wriggls trying to loosen the chains face to face with his counterpart and shrugging, " Is not disgusting or gross... collectable! their comfy! and I don't discriminate I collect all sorts of undies!" ooookay maybe he shouldn't have mentioned that.

And eyeing Mike - they continue their sparring by - " and this is not over I'll up the pong you out Mike - urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp!"


" all underwear? - why are you collection human - ewww! take that back! brrrrrrruuuurp!"


Belching in each others faces.

Raph nods, grinning, " still that's damned cool, now I have seen some of the styling I might actually pick it up more." 

Maybe, he was not reknown for noticing much during a battle or even sparring, his usual methods was to take blows and barrel the opponent over with brute strength, but he would at least give it a go. 

trying not to laugh at the Mikey's and also wondering himself about the smaller Mikey's obsession with human underwear, which the lil guy admitted to quiet easily.

And letting go a bellow of laughter when both Mikey's were taken down by their own combined efforts. Down but not out apparently as it dissolved into a battle of the smelly breaths, oy vie. " let me guess flips for both of them now?" totally grinning, so very amused.

Donatello2003 wrote:Don will not tail whack intentionally, he is aiming to sweep legs out, or at least put him off balance.

Leo called a halt to the sparring session. Mostly because the Mikeys were getting out of hand. But the Donnies are done too, one way or another.

”Mikeys, 50 flips. Once you figure out how to get out of there. And put the underwear away.” Leo looks pained. Like the end of that match physically hurt to watch. He’s pinching the space between his eyes and shaking his head.

”Come on Raph, we’re up.”

His response was too slow and he did go down, flat on his shell and head in the worst possible place!

Between the two Mikeys!

" ack! bluergh ooooh my mouth was open and everything!" he eeeps in disgust hurriedly sitting up from between the heads of his brother and his counterpart maybe a tad greener than he should be in the face and glad his nictating eyelids were up or that would surely have stung his eyes!

Hearing Leo's call to the end of the match and slowly finding his way to his feet again, his bo staff had clattered to the ground and the blade jutted out the end. He moves to pick it up and get the blade retracted. Grinning at Don, " good sparring." he had enjoyed that. Moving to clear the space for Leo and Raph gathering up one of Mike's errant nunchaku as he moves.

Mike twisted and as the chain tightened on him, Mikey felt there was some give in his area and thus slipped free like an eel, pouting up at the Leo, " aw come on I thought we'd have points for ingenuity there..." amused by the Donnie and patting him on his shell, " sorry Dee." bending to pick up the other nunchaku of his counterpart and then kneeling to help unroll him from the chains, twisting the end of his chuck as he unwinds and curls the chain back up inside the hollowed out fake wood metal tube until it was at normal length and repeating with the other.

And offering a hand down to Mike to help him to his feet. Pulling the hoodie off and offering it back to his counterpart, " got a spot to do these flips?" he wondered if there was a specific place or if just go anywhere that wasn't in the way of the soon to be sparring pair.

" good job Don," clapping himon his shell as his leaner counterpart got back to his feet, laughing a bit at the guys misfortune of landing in the smell zone.

I crack knuckles at Leo's announcement it was our turn and grin at the older bro, " bring it on Leo." though waved the Mikey's aside, " that wall is fine but keep it tight, don't land between Leo and I or you may end up in a spar match you don't wanna be in." twirling sai to drive the point home as the tips gleamed and winked in the light.


Moving lightly from foot to foot, in position and ready focusing on Leo waiting ready to pounce.

Ack! Don returns his bo to his back and hurries to offer his counterpart a hand up out of the mass of Mikeys. Because... groossssss... The Mikeys themselves though... they're on their own. They got themselves into this tangle, they can get themselves out.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to knock you into them!" Because no one wants a Mikey belch in their face. And two is clearly worse.

"Thanks. You too. You adapt really quickly." Like crazy quickly! Don is decidedly slower to pick up a new move, but Donnie was definitely on top of that. It had actually been kind of fun. Sparring with his brothers over and over again gets a little boring.  It was neat to have a new person to spar with.

"I knew there was something weird about your weapon!" Don laughed as he noticed the naginata blade and watched Donnie retract it. "Very cool. You should have used that."

He glanced over his as his brother clapped his shoulder. "Thanks, Raph."

She'd left the kitchen with it's forte full of eating children and funnily enough Ratpa there to enjoy the meal of creamy cheesy pasta and little garlic dinner rolls.

To lean against the door watching the last of the battles, quiet though not wanting to interrupt, silent giggles therefore at the two orange clad turtles.

Impressed by the two in purple and now curious about the possible show between blue and red. 

Remaining quiet though to not alert any to her presence. Though she had a feeling Leo probably sensed her and she wasn't aware she would come with the smell of food and herself.

Ooops might have gotten that one in the wrong face... 

then he grunts a little as a wriggle made the chains constrict and tighten. though he wasn't in danger of being short of breath yet, and he watches Mikey move, glad for the help out of the bindings.

Finally pulling off the tightie whities and offering them back to Mikey with a chuckle. " I'll concede that one to you Mikey you got out of those chains before I did. though I agree we shouldn't be made to flip, stink can be an incredible ninja weapon..." he chuckles and shakes his head, it was no good to pursue negociating with Leo over number of flips though ... he always just ended up with more... " no specific wall but Raph's right over there will do." and now away from burp zone he was more aware of the girl.

Oh he'd faintly picked up on her being there for sometime but had been too focused on the sparring to really note her. Well one can still show off with flips.

" come on mini me." taking back his nunchaku with thanks and watching Mikey put his away too. " I have got to upgrade my chucks." amused leading the way over tot he flip out area.

Aha his favourite pair of undies!

He takes them and the hoodie and stuffs them both back into the pocket they had been pulled out of in the sparring. Nodding and sniggering a bit.

following Mike over to the space indicated, beginning the flips but forgetting to count somewhere around ten.
