Training p2

Brianna giggled as she watched the battle, and Lily who had been in the room had been traveling along the rim until she joined her on her side, "Donny seems to have a great amount of Wind in his possession, she nudged the Neko who blushed. She herself looked at Donatello and Leonardo, 'They're doubled up for elements,' she murmured telepathically to Rachel and felt a tick that was caused because of Matt. She winced and rubbed her temple. Physical power couldn't get out, but if one on the outside was linked even for a second with another, it could get through she realized.

"That's wonderful!" Sammy and Rachel said together, one glaring at the red-ninja while the other was pretty much happy that someone had another element that was exactly his. Rachel looked at the fire before noticing the Sai. Sammy realized her plan and used his own fire to make it harder to get out. She merely glared when a loud pop sounded.

"Oh damn!" Matt growled, "Next time, concentrate on the ground!"

"She would have gotten out anyway, Mattie. If you were paying attention she wouldn't have." Electric found where she was and immediately attacked her.

She didn't have time to brace herself or anything since she wasn't concentrating so she got injured and shocked/burned. She sat up shakily and shook her head. 'Looks like Sam's tag-teaming with Raph and Electric…damn!' Another loud pop and she was gone from the middle only to have Electric and Sam attack each other since they both tried to get her at the same time. Laughter rang and she was pretty close to where Matt was.

Matt smirked, and threw a mental knife at her which was blocked by a mental barrier and a snap of a wave since Rae managed to get her concentration back. She jumped away from her and attacked Don and Leo, only doing exactly what Electric and Sam did only using her powers instead of splitting herself into two (as if that was possible) She made a clapping-motion and the waves came from both ends. Don grabbed Leo and they both landed on one of the metal bars. She pouted but realized that she still had another person to deal with. 'Oh god, he's not going to forgive me for this.' She thought as she took the ki that mingled from the clapping motion and threw them at Raphael, like whirl-wind of energy.

"Yo, hey, no!" Raph raised his hands to protect his face, but to his shock the Earth shot up and swallowed the attack before settling back down again as he lowered his arms, "Whoa…" He knew he had something that dealt with Earth, and this was awesomely cool.

"Alright, Raph," Bria laughed and waved her hand. The Sai wiggled from the ground and flew to their owner who took them and set them back in his belt. "Hey, sis, it's Donny's turn!" she called.

"I'm just attacked randomly girl." Rachel teased just as Matt took the advantage and attacked her using a knife. Rachel grabbed her wrist but wasn't paying attention and got nicked across the cheek since Matt used her other hand to switch. She loosened her grip by mistake, but she ducked and swiped her legs from underneath the girl and jumped back, right into Donny. They both crashed and went down. Only Donny managed to stay up while Rachel went down to the ground.

"That was uncool!" Rachel snapped, she got up and did a slight spin, arm movement and spreading her legs apart. The Ki was sharp like a knife, like a scythe actually. Donny concentrated really hard on his hand and tossed it at the incoming ki. Instead of wind it was water. The ki and the water didn't mix at all, and water overcame the ki making disappear with a sounding snap. Rachel spun around in shock, knowing only water and ki could make the sound unless she was teleporting.

Using her shocked state, Electric came up behind her and tried to grab her, but she was quicker this time. She kicked him exactly how she kicked Leo back when she got really mad at him for breaking her sister's heart. Leonardo could only wince when he saw that, 'I know that feeling all too well.' He unconsciously touched his cheek, before deciding to help the electric-wielder out. He disappeared using the water he newly found and used the earth to hold her still. Unfortunately their close-ups attacks were as deadly as the far long-ranged ones. It only lasted a while until Leo almost landed a punch at her when she 'snapped' away. Unfortunately on her end, he punched using water. Water with ki equaled big time electric shock. She let out a scream as she popped back. She was down on her knees hugging herself. She was soaked. "Damn it!" She made an arm wave with her fist enclosed, but Matt immediately 'nicked' her mentally, breaking her concentration. She glared but then realized that Sammy was right behind her. She did a back kick like how her sister and friend taught her, but Sam was fast.

He grabbed her ankle and just burnt her enough to make her scream. He was about to let her go and hold her down by force, but was immediately kicked and then smacked, since her punch would have done a little bit more damage to them both. He dropped her ankle and she once again snapped away, only feeling a bit of shocks instead the whole thing like before. She tossed her wet hair and concentrated another attack to go against Leo.

He was so paying for that.

Raph frowned and moved closer to Rachel. He felt the larger hits she was taking, and since Leo and Rae were rivals, if he felt the battle was getting out of hand he would deal with either's glares and huffs and put up a barrier.

Bria frowned. She hadn't seen her sister or Leo glare at each other before, and knew for sure hate and love ran the same fine line for them. She shifted uncomfortably, however; at least Raph could do something to stop them if something went bad. All she would be able to do would be to yell at them to quit.

Rachel attacked Leonardo full on, not bothering with powers, but that was a mistake on her end. He used water and made sure the attack wouldn't just bind back but also hit her. Her kick hit the water and while it was tossed aside, the water squeezed her leg hard enough to warn her that it would just take a small movement to break it. She 'snapped' away, ignoring the pain and got behind Leo. Close range, she knew her attack would be deadly. She did an arm movement and just as she punched him, some her ki went all around him. Now he knew how it felt when she got hit.

Matt decided that it was time to just pretend to be on Leo's side. She 'nicked' Rachel just enough to warn her that she still had everyone else as an opponent. However her nick made Rae get distracted which revolved into Leo tossing her aside, he momentarily forgot that she was a little incapable. Luckily she caught herself. She did another arm motion, and was about to unleash it when Matt disappeared and reappeared before her. Now it was mind-vs-mind.

Matt kept nicking her mentally while attacking her with everything she had, kicks, punches; she even managed to land a few 'telepathic' attacks. However Rae fought back, trying to keep all mental barriers up and defenses while she defended the outward punches and kicks. She jumped away and once again disappeared just as she did back at the HQ.

She nicked Matt's ankle and reappeared on a different spot, right at the metal pole. Electric was the closest to her and shot a few of his long-range attacks at her. Rachel quickly jumped out of the way, but landed right where Sammy was. It turned into a martial-art contest as soon as it was able to, but Donatello – being an automatic peacemaker – summoned a bit of water and threw it at the both of them, and then he 'cooled' them off using wind. Rachel let out a scream while Sammy was growling in frustration as he jumped away from the wind. Her fingers did a snap and Don had to block himself with another wind attack since he forgot that she too could do long range.

She quickly turned her attention back on Raphael and Leonardo and did a full spin completed with her leg coming up just two inches off the ground, she stomped her foot when the spin was completed. Leo and Raphael just blocked it with the earth, but Leo realized immediately that it was just a distraction. She was once more after the blue-clad ninja.

"You still hate me don't you?" Leo growled at her, as he managed to block one of her punches and her blocking his. Both of them were up close.

Rachel just smirked, "Hate's a very strong word." She swiped her leg at his; her balance was now tittering since she tried to knock him over. However, he managed to block it. Now she was at his mercy. They both growled at one another.

Sammy reached over to Don and Raph, "This is interesting. Sparks are flying."

"They hate each other with a downright passion." Electric said. He noticed that the girl-clad boy had fainted. "Looks like Rae got tired of being nicked. Matt's down for the count…"

"Does she use lethal poisons during training?" Don asked, wondering if his sister-in-law was that ruthless.

"Nah, not unless they can shape-shift," Sammy and Electric said together.

"That's the only time she uses it. Funny how shape-shifters lower the lethalness of the poison; dramatically actually," Sam explained.

Leo unceremoniously let her go and kicked her on the upper side. He jumped away, knowing that he couldn't go all out on her since she was incapable, but it didn't seem like she was going to care much. Right when he jumped away she also got by him. It was just like a replay of what happened when she came home from her date with Raphael. Only they both were using their powers as well as they were using martial arts. Leonardo was defending himself with earth while attacking with water, but she was dodging the water attacks and still attacked. When they got close, it was a show of the fanciest moves. Kicks, punches, wind whirls of color.

They both broke apart and they went at each other using their powers. Even though Leo's newly discovered his and she had more practiced with hers, they both were at neck and neck. Leo knew that he was going to have to face the consequence sooner or later for keeping up the powers even though he didn't use them at all until now. Rae on the other hand was completely ignoring about what her limits were. The warning Raph gave was just fogged over. They both went at each other until they got close enough to start using martial arts. It was becoming a pattern. Got too close they kicked and punched each other, if they were far away, they went all out on the powers. The people that were just watching and had been practicing just stopped to watch the dramatic scene unfold.

"What do you expect? Leo's mad because she made him loose Mikey, she's mad because he's being selfish," Electric said, "Or at least that's what I'm getting."

"Since when have you been a girl?" Sammy asked Electric.

"I have a girlfriend you know!" He puffed up, cheeks bright red.

"White and red do not mix. You look pink." Sam said raising an eyebrow.

"Shut the helk up fire-cracker!" Electric hit his own friend and they had a playful battle going on. Swearing and laughing at one another as they attacked and blocked.

"They're getting out of hand…" Donatello muttered as he watched Rae do another complicated movement only to result in her getting wet again. "We should stop before one of them decides to kill one another."

"Ok, that's it," Raphael and Brianna both hissed at the same time. They glanced at one another and had the same thought of 'stop the fight'. Raph disappeared in a whirl of smoke and then reappeared the same way in front of Bria. He caught and ripped a ward ignoring the shock it gave him, and she used her ki to slice the rope. He motioned to the others to back against the walls, and then used his fire to poof and get Matt before joining them.

Bria was hurting majorly because she was connected to both of them, but she ignored all of it as she summer-saluted and flipped over to them to get better momentum. She then used it to do a round-house kick, "ENOUGH!" she cried as either foot hit her loved one's in the chests and sent them flying into opposite walls across the training room. She skidded and rolled to a stop and ended on her side.

Bria coughed and rubbed her eyes of the dirt and mud in her eyes. "Haven't done that in a while…" she muttered to herself. After she could finally see, she stood up and walked over to her mate. She wrapped her arms around his neck, sat in his lap, and forced him to sit back down after he attempted to get up and was just about to go after Rachel again, "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" she was now breathing heavily, and she had only done that one move. Her energy was at complete zero and she knew exactly why.

"Rachel?!" Raph jumped up and ran over to his Lifebonded, "Rae? Rachel, are you alright? Stupid question, but I'm asking anyway…" He wrapped his arms around her and held her there, "Rae, please…" he whispered and concern made him bite his lip.

She was upset and hurt. She was pale and felt like she was going to faint, but her anger was what was making her forget. Rae wanted to attack, but she knew that in her condition Leo would only have to hit her once and she would be knocked out and quickly. She hadn't done those attacks for a long time, nor had she gotten used to be being attacked by others. She leaned into Raphael's body, fighting off the need to sleep, fighting it off, and glaring at Leo dangerously. Leo returned the favor as well. "I'm alright, I'm fine." She murmured to her love. This was the second time their fight had been stopped. Tears burned in her eyes. It just fed that anger even more. 'I'll win next time.' She thought to herself, 'Next time…'

"Sorry," Leo murmured in apology to Bria, "The fight is pointless now.

That only made Rae angry she opened her mouth to shout or to scream, but she couldn't. She already wasted so much energy on her attacks and blocks. She closed her mouth and kept her anger inside. Swearing at her all the while, "It is." She echoed, but her meaning was underlined. "Let's just forfeit, we can continue this any other time."

Leo just merely nodded, knowing that she was going to have to wait.

"There won't be a next time until every danger is passed," Bria said sharply and stood swiftly shoving Leo back on purpose in the process. Because she was so close for a few seconds and Leo was still livid, she felt it all through their connection. "Unless you want to kill each other now as well as precious things between us all and this war, then go ahead! If I thought that this burning hate between the both of you was this powerful, I wouldn't have stopped the fucking fight!" She roared at them, wiping her eyes angrily before hurrying away.

Raph frowned deeply and gripped Rachel a bit tighter, burying his face in her hair. He knew she was lying about being alright, and it hurt him badly as well as make him worry more, but he didn't know what to say so he just left it alone. If she felt it great, then maybe she'd think twice, but if she didn't he would leave it be.

Rachel could feel it. His worry and his pain… She nuzzled him slightly, leaning in a bit more. 'I hurt you…' She felt terrible. She didn't realize that she had been hurting her own. 'I'm sorry, Raph. I'm sorry…' She held on to him. She also knew she hurt her sister, but she was gone, so she couldn't voice what she wanted to say. She just bit back a whimper and hid in her lover's arms.

Leo stood up and chased after Bria, when he found her, he caught her. "Listen, Bria, I'm sorry. I hurt you during and after the fight. I don't want to be the one that ruins everything, including the war. I just…didn't realize that I still didn't get her forgiveness, for hurting you, if that was what the fight was about. If it wasn't and she's mad at me for something else, then I guess I'm going to have to earn it all over again." He sighed, "I didn't realize I was hurting you as well. I suppose I hurt Raph too while I was at it. Damn, I'm so stupid."

Raphael sighed with shaky breath, "Let's go rest," he murmured and picked her up bridal-style. He almost dropped her, but his stubborn side kicked in and he gripped her tight, "I will take care of you," he promised and then left the training room, taking the long way around to avoid Leonardo and Bria. Once successfully to the stairs, he took her up to their room and laid her down, "I love you, and will always take care of you."

Brianna wiped her eyes repeatedly and sobs escaped her. Her words as she spoke broke in many places, "If anyone has that cat-like fault of grudges, it's Rachel, Leo. She never forgets things, hardly forgives them. I don't forget things, but I do forgive them. That's one major difference between us." She ran her hand through her hair and tried to take a breath, but she was so wound up, "Andy and Mikey isn't the only empathic people," she said, "It wasn't all about the hurt to me. She thought you were being selfish, and what I got from you was you were still mad at her for letting Mikey get captured."

"I am mad at her about that, but I wouldn't attack her because of it." Leonardo replied, frowning slightly. "I knew she still was mad at me though." He paused, "Bria, I am sorry, about all of this. I should have known that she would still be mad at me, I'm sure this fight only fueled her anger even more. I should stop egging her on."

She still fought back her sleepiness to murmur, "I love you too, you don't always—" Rachel lost the fight with sleep and closed her eyes. Dreaming of nothing…

Bria wiped her eyes and reached for a hug, wrapping her arms around Leo, "It's alright," she murmured and buried her face in his chest.

Raphael smiled sadly and joined her. Sleep was stubborn for a while, so he just settled on combing his fingers through Rachel's hair and cuddling against her.

Leo gently hugged her back, soothing her as the best he could. He knew what Bria said was all true, and he was glad that he was forgiven. He tightened his grip and carefully teleported them away from the stairs since he didn't' want to block them. Once they were in a comfortable environment, his grip loosened and he gently nuzzled her neck.

He was glad this fight was over.
