Everybody was sitting around the table eating pizza, and chattering about random things, when Jeslana asked Mikey something. "Hey, I don't mean to intrude, but... what's up with that room over there?" She said, nodding towards a room just beyond the kitchen. "Oh! That's the dojo! It's where we practice our awesome ninja skills!" Mikey replied, moving his arms at weird angles together. Jeslana giggled, and then looked over at Anamea. She walked over to her. "I do not!" She whispered harshly at her. "Oh come on! You know you do!" Anamea replied softly. Leo looked over at them "She does what?" He asked, looking at them quizzically. Anamea opened her mouth to say what was on her mind, but she stopped when she saw Jeslana's glare, rolled her eyes, and changed her mind. "She just said that she would like to look at the dojo you guys have." She said.
"Oh! the dojo! Sure! It's just about training time, anyways!" He said, while the others' groaned. "Great, another hour of training" Raphael said, getting up and throwing his plate in the sink. "Well, think about it this way- you now have an audience to show off to." Leo replied, walking happily towards the dojo. Raph did his best to look glum, but still perked up a bit at that thought. The boys went two-on-two,Donnie and Mikey vs. Leo and Raph. The girls lined up against the wall, with April and Casey. "Hajime." Splinter said, and the brothers raced towards each other. Leo took on Mikey by taking his arm and twisting it. Mikey took his nun-chuck and wrapped it around his ankles and pulled, bringing him down. Mikey looked up and saw Jeslana, who smiled. He smiled back, and started blushing before Leo flipped him over onto his chest and pinned his arm down over his shell. "ow! Oww! oooowwwww! Alright, Leo, alright! You got me!" He said, getting up and rubbing his shoulder, as he sat on his knees next to the girls, April and Casey.
Meanwhile, Raph was facing off with Donnie. With a couple slashes from his sais, he had split Donnie's bo-staff in half. "Oh no, not again! How does this even happen!?" He said, looking at his staff. While Donnie was distracted, Raph ran towards him and put him into a choke-hold, and he flipped him onto his chest, and then pinned him onto the mat. Donnie called uncle, and then got up weakly, walking towards the girls and sitting on his knees. "Too easy." Raph said, a smug look on his face. "Hey, how about you guys show us some of your moves. Maybe Anamea could show us some of that energy power she was talking about." Leo said, looking towards the girls. "Oh.. I... uh... I don't really... use... my powers..." She said, looking down and moving her hair to one shoulder. It went quiet very quickly, and it grew very awkward. "If you don't mid me asking... why?" Leo asked. A few moments passed, but Anamea just stared blankly at the ground She gasped just slightly, and then stammered. "I... I'd rather not say..." "Oh... I apologize." Leo said, feeling a bit awkward. "No no... it's... ok." She said. "Um... You guys go and train or fight or... whatever..." She said, bringing he knees up to her chin. "O...k then..." Raph whispered.
They had all trained (except for Anamea) for the next hour and then, they decided to watch a movie and play video games. After what realistically was about 3 hours, but what only felt like ten, Leo asked them a question. "Hey, do you guys have anywhere to go to sleep tonight? Don't you need to go home?" Anamea looked at her phone. 11:46 p.m. "Oh my god! Where did the time go? We have to get home!" She said, standing up off the couch. "Awwww! But you guy were so much fun!" Mikey said, pushing out his lower lip. "Sorry, Mikey, but being tired and having the powers we have doesn't mix with two of us... me being one of them." Jeslana said, putting on her sweater. "Yea, i know that feeling, sometimes, too." He said with a smile in return. Jeslana mad sure no one else was watching, and then brought Mikey over to the corner. "Thank you for bringing us here. If it weren't for you... i don't know what would have happened to Millana." She said, looking over at Millana and the rest of the group.
"I'm... i'm sorry about earlier in the dojo... i didn't know... i. uh..." Leo stammered "It's fine. I know that you... didn't... know... heh." Anamea said, rubbing the back of her neck,looking up at him with a slight grin on her face. "Y-yeah, heh... cool... um, well, i hope you guys gt home safely, nobody trying to mug you or anything." He said, getting a slight frown in return. "Too early for that, huh?" Leo said, wincing at her look. "Just a little... heh." She said. It was eventually time for them too leave, and Jeslana and Mikey were over in the corner. "Jeslana, we gotta go!" Radanya told her, putting her leather jacket on. "She waited until nobody was looking, and then she gave Mikey a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks." She said. His face flushed with red, and he grinned like an idiot. Jeslana raced after her friends on the subway rails, waving goodbye to the turtles, and they waved back.
The girls, April and Casey were walking down the rails, when all of a sudden, Anamea gripped her head, and fell to her knees. "AAuuUgGGhhH!" She screamed. She pulled at her hair, and her eyes burned with a bright gold, her pupils shrinking down to a pin's size, and bright yellow sparks started to come out of her fingertips. "Anamea, what's going on!?" April said, running to her side. "No... no, st-st-STOP!" She screamed. "No, not again... Anamea, snap out of it!" Radanya said, sliding onto her knees in front of her friend, shaking her shoulders.
*Going into Anamea's mind*
You can't stop this... what makes you think you can?
If I just try, i can-
there is no point in trying... your just going to fail anyways...
no, i'm not! stop saying that!
But why? Is it not true? won't you just keep failing over, and over, and over again?
won't they just keep...
dying? Dying? Dying?
Over...
and over...
and over again?
no they won't... stop it... STOP it! Stop IT! STOP IT!
*Back to reality*
"Stop it, stop it, stop it, no, no no..." Anamea whimpered crawling up into a ball. "What happened to her?" Casey asked, panicked. "This happens all the time... something... happened to her a long time ago... i'll take care of this, you guys... you go on ahead..." Radanya said to them over her shoulder, looking into Anamea's eyes, which were now turning from gold to brown and back again. "Umm... w-w-what is going on?" April asked, frozen in place. Millana calmed down, and told them what was going on. "A long time ago, something really bad happened to Anamea... it messed with her... on a really high psychological level... i'm so sorry about this..." She said, frowning. "I'd recommend that you go to your houses and just leave us here to handle this..." She said, looking at Anamea. "Are you sure there's no way either of us could help?" April asked. "There's no way any of US can help her... i'm sorry about this." Jeslana said. Anamea started to moan on the ground. "What happened?" She asked, holding her forehead in her hand "It happened again..." Radanya said, giving her room to breath. "Oh no..." Anamea said, holding her head in her hand.
