Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of the reviews on the first chapter.
Enjoy. Once again...thank you.


First Combat

They had all changed their masks. All was going well, so far. You could tell Leo/mikey was still thinking it wouldn't work. Why in a million years would Master Splinter not see through this trick?

"Uh, Ra.., I mean, Donny," Two heads looked at Mikey/raph. "How the shell are we going to remember who we are supposed to act like? I can barley keep track that I'm you."

"Well, we can trash talk each other most of the day, like usual, but also take a quick look at everyone else, and the mask that's missing is yours." For some weird reason, Raph/don was more of a leader than Leo, today. He had everything worked out. Weird, huh?

Master Splinter entered the room. Surprisingly, it looked like he didn't suspect a thing. He went past all of the turtles as if this were a normal training practise. Slowly with much pride.

"My sons, I do believe we know what comes first. But today we shall swap the match ups. Michelangelo against Leonardo and Raphael against Donatello. Come. Let us begin the matches in the dojo."

Leo's eyes could have popped out of their sockets. He didn't NOTICE A THING?! However, the others were overjoyed that it was so far so good. Now the real test. Can they act like each other in the practise?

One way to find out. They all entered, took one last look at each other and began the prank of a lifetime.

Here is where we start the POVS


Raph

This is gonna be different. I have to act like Donny. He is calmer than anything and I get ticked off at everything. Aw well. At least I won't look to bad if I lose. I just wonder how Mikey's going to feel. I mean, I'm fighting him, and he looks like me. I am going to have to beat myself in a match. Well, at least this should be interesting.

Mikey is a good actor. Not great but good. He did all sorts of moves that I do as well as trash talking me, like me. With comments like,

"Aw, to fast for you Donny."

"Come on, show me whatcha got."

"That's gonna hurt in the morning."

Mikey is good, but not to good. He forgot that I am the real Raphael. I easily took him down with a good old punch in the stomach and a kick in the chest. He fell down so hard, I thought I heard something crack.

"You OK, Raphie?" I was disgusted calling myself that horrible nickname, while I helped the fake me get to his feet.

"I guess, Donnie." Mikey took my hand to get up. Like I said, he is good, but not that good. Sensei came struck down his walking stick to motion to go in our organised line. I was up first. He walked to me from the right. He always did that.

"Donatello. I have to say congratulations. This is your first winning match in the one-on-one combat. I am most impressed. Keep up the good work."

I pulled off a Donnie smile. Boy would he be surprised if he ever found out it was me under the mask. He told us to get ready for our next session. I could not wait to show off some more. This was going to be a really fun day.

Don

I can not believe I'm acting like Leo first. I mean, he always keeps a straight face and always shows off. I gonna have to be 3 times as good as usual. At least I'm up against Mikey. Wait a second. Remember that's not Mikey, that's one of my other brothers, but who. Since it can't be Mikey, it must be either Leo or Raph. Which one though? Well, I didn't have much of a choice, I had to fight him. Which ever one he was.

It started out OK. I was putting in my all, not trying to make Leo look bad and all. But I've got to hand it to him, he does have a lot of pressure on him. Every time I look at Dad, he looks at me back, like, with eyes that could pierce you, like a sword. If Leo copes with that everyday, then I would rather be me than him. Suddenly, it happened. My opponent was being extra quiet, like, quieter than a mouse quiet. Raph by now makes a whole lot of trash talk and Mikey's even worse. I was fighting the really Leo. I flinched for one second for realising this and he got the jump on me by a perfect hidden tiger attack, a move we weren't supposed to know yet, and I crashed to the floor. Lucky for me it was the end of practise. Leo/mikey helped me up, though he was to quiet for comfort. We went into our line we always did after training. Master Splinter talked to Raph and the fake-me, then it was my turn. Man did dad look mad.

"Leonardo, I am very dissapointed in you. You could have counter attaked with an upper rising block and a counterhouse backward kick. I am very dissapointed in you. I thought you would have defeated Michelangelo with ease, but now I see that you maybe aren't what I expected. I hope you are just having a bad day."

He walked over to the real Leo. Leo looked whiter than the icebergs in Antarctica in the middle of winter. He covered it up by smiling like Mikey does. I saw through the disguise, though. We left to get ready for my best subject, practising katas. Lets hope I go better in my best subject. I hope.

Mikey

This is gonna be great. I'm going as Raph and I'm facing against Donnie. I always win against Don. He is like the worst fighter of this century. He always wants the calm way out. Like, negotiating at stuff like that. He should be easy and won't take long.

This is taking much longer than I thought. Don usually goes down by now. He has blocked my every attack, even with the help of acting like my hot-headed brother. I have to agree with Raphie-boy, his hot head can come in handy in a fight. I was letting out every frustration that I kept boiled up through out the day. It felt good to let it all stream out. I felt refreshed from everything. I have got to do this more often. I love being Raphael. When I thought I had it in the bag, Don got the drop on me. He punched me in the chest and kicked me in the chest, which got me to fall to the floor. That hurt like shell. He helped me up...then I realised that only Raphie has this hard a grip. Talk about over-confidence.

Master Splinter showed that it was time to line up. After talking to the real Raph, he strolled over to me. He didn't seem at all angry or suspicious.

"Raphael. I must say I am impressed with your efforts today. I hope to see you succeed more in future."

Oh yeah, he did not suspect a thing. I motioned a thumbs up to Raphie, who returned it. When we entered our bedroom, there was only one thing on my mind.

Can we do that again? Of course, we were about to.

Leo

I can not believe this is happening. First off, Master Splinter isn't saying anything about our switch of the masks. Could it be he really doesn't notice a thing or is it sheer dumb luck making Raph's plan work. Secondly, I have to act like Mikey. MIKEY. The only thing we have in common is that, when needed, we can really be focused on anything. Only if he wants to focus that is. Who came up with this silly idea anyway? I bet father will see through our disguises. Easily.

I can not believe he hasn't noticed. I'm fighting with all my heart and soul, and yet, he still thinks I'm Mikey. I'm up against myself, a.k.a. Donnie. I know his fighting style off by heart. That, and the fact that doesn't know the first thing about how to be me, is allowing to win. I just wonder if it will be to easy. I had to do something that I knew Mikey could not do yet, and show Master Splinter that this was all a joke. I jumped and produced a hidden tiger attack. That move took me weeks to get right and I did it all on my own. Without any help. I pulled Don back to his feet. We went in line. I heard Master Splinter talk about me. I was even more ashamed then Don. That's my mask and Iam the one to receive the disappointment. Master Splinter came to me at last. I tried not to look at him.

"Michelangelo. I must say well done. You must have been paying attention in practise. You have finally achieved the hidden tiger attack. I am proud to call you my son. Now all of you, get ready for our next training session. Practising Katas."

Once again, he did not notice a thing. I decided not to fight back and did a as-best-I-could proud Mikey smile. I walked to our room in silence. By the end of today, I hope things are going to get better.


So how was that. Sorry for not updating for a while. I was on holidays.
Enjoy as always, please.
