Chapter 25 Learning how to use Raphael's Sai's
April arrived right away after school to the lair to see her friends and Sensei. She wanted to get a head start on continuing her training on learning how to use another one of the turtle's weapons. "Hello everyone I'm ready to continue my training" April said with much enthusiasm. "Which one of my sons will you like to be your training partner for today?" Asked Splinter. "I choose Raphael" April exclaimed. Raph heard April wanted to train with him today and was up for the challenge. Both Raph and April headed to the Dojo together and Raph told April, "Don't except this to be easy April." "Don't worry I won't Raph" April told him. Before Raph began his lesson with April he gave her a demonstration and explained a little bit on what his Sai's are, "A Sai is known as a dagger with two sharp prongs that curve outside the handle. They are used for blocking attacks and trapping. Sai's are usually used in pairs which is how I'm going to be teaching you today." Raph went to his weapons closet and took a pair of Sai's for April to use. "Are you ready April?" Raph asked her which April answered, "Yes." Both Raph and April took their positions at different corners of the Dojo before they came running at each other blocking each other's attacks. "Not bad April. You seemed to know what you are doing" Raph said as he and April continued to go at each other."
April managed to knock one of Raph's sai's out of his hand and Raph did the same thing to April. "It seems that each of us only has one Sai left" April stated. "That is correct" said Raph. "Let's see who can knock the other' Sai out of who's hand first." Then April exclaimed, "BRING IT ON!" As she charged at Raph head on. The duel between Raph and April went on for a little while until April got the upper hand and knocked Raph's Sai out of his hand." "Wow April that was impressive" Raph told her. "Thanks Raph. That means a lot and you were right this lesson wasn't easy but it was interesting" April told him before they both bowed to each other in respect. "I'm impressed as well April" Said Master Splinter. "Raphael you did a good job teaching April how to use your Sai's." "Thanks Sensei" Raph said to Splinter. "Want to go another round April?" Raph asked her which she answered, "Defiantly." Raph and April did another round of sparring practice and Splinter observed. Once again Raph and April managed to knock a Sai from each other's hands before finishing their duel. Raph managed to knock the other Sai out of April's hand ending the match. "You almost had me April" exclaimed Raph. "You were going all out until I made my move." "I try" said April.
"If you ever want another training session on how to use my Sai's I'm up for it if you are" Raph told April which she said, "Sure why not. I'll let you know." April decided to do her homework in the lair with Donnie because she has a lot of homework and some of it she needed Donnie's help with what she didn't understand. When April and Donnie were finished she said, "Thanks for the help Donnie. I would have never gotten all of this done without you." "You're welcome April" said Donnie. As April said bye to her friends when she left the lair Donnie thought to himself, "I look forward to when it's my turn to train April." Nothing would make this ninja who wears a purple mask and is crazy smart happier than to train with the girl who he has been crushing on since they first met.
