The Weapons Test
The 12 year old turtles were in the dojo waiting for Splinter. They had been training with ninja weapons for the past two months and were each looking forward to getting a ninja weapon assigned to them.
Just then, Splinter entered the dojo and the turtles formed a line. Splinter had the turtles work on katas and weapons practice for the next half hour.
"We will do the weapons test an hour after dinner later," Splinter said. "You may do as you wish in the lair and you may not take any of the weapons from the dojo."
The turtles nodded in agreement. Then they bowed to Splinter and raced out of the dojo.
After dinner, the turtles were hanging out in the entertainment area. Raph decided to have Mikey do a favor for him.
"Mikey, I need you to do me a favor."
"What is it, Raph?"
"I want you to get the sais from the dojo and bring them to me so I can practice with them."
Donny and Leo were shocked by what they just heard. They couldn't believe that Raph was trying to get Mikey to break a serious rule.
"No, Raph, I won't do it," Mikey said firmly and Donny and Leo were relieved.
"You're such a baby," Raph said angrily.
"I'm not a baby," Mikey said, the floodgates opening.
"Raph, that was completely uncalled for!" Leo said sharply.
"He's the biggest baby in the world!" Raph retorted.
"STOP CALLING ME A BABY!" Mikey screamed and then latched onto Donny and broke down completely. Donny wrapped his arms around Mikey and gently rubbed his shell.
Realizing that he went too far, Raph went over to Mikey, put a hand on his shoulder, and said, "Sorry, Mikey."
Mikey pushed Raph away and screamed, "GO AWAY! DON'T TOUCH ME!"
Mikey buried his face in Donny's shoulder and broke down completely again. Raph stood there as he watched Donny try to calm Mikey down.
Just then, Splinter entered wanting to know what was going on. Leo spilled out the whole story and Mikey and Donny released each other.
"The four of you have to respect each other," Splinter said. "All of you have different strengths and weaknesses which can be used against your enemies and to help each other out when needed. Also, it is time for your weapons test. Please report to the dojo while I gather the necessary items."
The turtles headed for the dojo and waited for Splinter. Several minutes later, Splinter entered with a big box and put in on the floor. He opened it and there were katanas, sais, bos, and nunchucks inside. The turtles waited patiently for the test to begin.
