New chap! Did I mention that the new women dyed their hair green, pink, purple, white, mint green, and blue? If not (I know I didn't), then here it is now! Enjoy this (Another filler) chap! I'm stalling to not do fights! (PS, sorry for late update; one of my idiot family members shut down the computer before I saved this)

Leo followed his counterpart and Ue-Sama towards the drink bar that Usagi was waiting for them at. He briefly wondered where Mike and Mikey were, but something (someone...?) told him that they were fine and probably stuffing themselves with pizza again. Mike was sure to lose his title if he was too tired and stuffed to fight.

They arrived and Leo sat at the end of their row, which went Usagi, Ue-Sama, Leonardo, and then him, looking around at the tables that other contestants and spotting his previous contestant. She flashed him a smile and he looked away, his eyes flashing black once again. He grabbed his head with one hand and looked at the bartender, who was holding a pad and waiting for him to order.

"Um, do you have anything that helps headaches?" he asked, hoping this guy had a multi-universal translator.

The bartender nodded. "It does not taste delicious, I warn you."

"As long as it'll get rid 'a my headache, I'm down," Leo muttered, laying his head on the counter and not noticing as Usagi kept glancing concernedly at him. The bartender came back a few minutes later with a brown liquid, saying something about not asking what was in it. Leo nodded and took his head off the counter for a second to take a sip. He grimaced at the taste as he signed a paper saying that the bartender wouldn't be blamed for anything like puking or weakness.

The blue-clad turtle accidentally belched, and Leonardo looked at his counterpart with a baffled expression. Leo gave an fake apologetic smile. "Sorry, man. I think I just drank tar (Anyone get it? Anyone? Movie?)."

Leonardo nodded and returned to his conversation with Usagi. Leo's headache was dulling considerably, though, even though it still lingered. The girl rubbed her sword, a spark of sadistic-ness in her eye.

Usagi, once Ue-Sama was happy talking with just Leonardo, went over to Leo. "My friend, are you feeling OK?"

Leo sighed as he pushed his drink away a little bit. "Yeah, I'm really fine. I'm so fine, I'm drinking the most disgusting drink in the 10 dimensions because I like it.

Usagi smiled. "My friend, what is wrong?"

"Oh, nothing. It's just a headache."

Usagi raised an eye-ridge. "Really, Leon- em, Leo. I will never get used to that... Really, my friend, is it someone that you fought?"

Leo was trying to make the words form in his mouth that it was his opponent, but something was stopping him. Usagi could've sworn that his friend's eyes literally darkened, but they immediately switched back. He hummed and looked around as Leonardo tried to form words. He saw a brunette girl rubbing her sword with a drink in front of her, and she was obviously trying not to look suspicious.

Usagi hummed again and turned back to Leo. "Does she have anything to do with it?" he asked, subtly gesturing to her with his head. Leo tried to nod, but he only succeeded in bowing his head. Usagi took it as a yes.

"OK, what does she have to do with it?" Usagi asked.

Leo put his head on the counter, covering it with his arms. He could swear that his vision from around his face where light was getting in was darkening even though he wasn't moving a muscle.

The brunette girl tried as hard as she could to not look suspicious. But that damned rabbit was trying to ruin everything! She rubbed her sword harder with every word the rabbit spoke, the indentations glowing.

Raphael kept behind his brother and their counterparts as they went to pick up Mike and Mikey, and keeping an ear out for the announcement for the next round. He was trying to fight the headache that was tormenting him, but nothing was working. They all passed Leonardo, Ue-Sama, Leo, and Usagi, and Usagi wave politely at him before returning to his conversation with Leo, who has his head buried under his arms. Raphael guessed that his brother's counterpart probably had a headache, too, judging on the brown liquid he spotted next to the turtle that looked a lot like the stuff Splinter had told them helped with headaches.

He met up with his brother and his counterpart and gave his brother a noogie, causing Mike to squeal in protest. "Uncle! UNCLE!"

Raph smiled and high-fived his brother, who, even if still a bit sad, had an impossibly big smile on as he chewed on the last of his jellybean, anchovy and jalapeño pizza. Raph smiled bigger as he looked around, but then his eyes widened. "I'll be right back."

He ran away from his brothers and friends and met up with his pre-lims opponent, the Salamandrian. "Hey! Hey, wait up!"

The Salamandrian stopped and turned to see her previous opponent. "Hello, Raphael.:

Raph skidded to a stop. "Hi, uh," he trailed off.

"Oh, I am Orahkkagrath. Please, Raphael, how do you know Y'Gythba?" Orahkkagrath asked.

"Um, I met her in space, obviously. We all crashed on a very cold moon. I think it was the Moon of Thalos or something like that."

Orahkkagrath's eyes lit up in recognition. "Ah, yes! She told me of that adventure and how she met a lover. She has not really stopped talking about you."

"Is she here?"

"No, she opted to go on a mission instead. She probably did not expect you to be here," Orahkkagrath answered.

Raph visibly deflated. "That's OK-"

"Contestants, please report to the main battling area!" the Daimyo's voice rang out.

Raph gasped. "I've gotta go! Bye!"

Orahkkagrath smiled and waved as Raph ran with his company to the main battle area while she made her way to the audience's seats.

I'm sorry that took forever! It would've been done yesterday. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me and do not hate MEEEEE! Review, rant, flame, check out my community, vote on my poll, and give me questions and dares for my Q & A! BYE!
