Now it's the turtles turn to show their awesome ninja fighting skills.

Chapter 6: Ninja Skills

Later on, it was their turn to show off their ninja skills. Splinter was in front of Mikey, Leo, Raph and Donny and he told them, "Make me proud, my sons. Remember what I have taught you."

"We will not fail you, Master Splinter." Leo said.

They all bowed to him and Splinter bowed to them as well. Zuko looked at them with a smile on his face and said, "They must be lucky to have a master like him."

"Like, how lucky?" asked Musaki.

"I would say extremely lucky. I've only seen him for an hour, but it seems like forever."

"I see."

Splinter faced towards the others and said, "Tell us when."

Shifu chuckled and stared at Splinter for a while and said, "Show us what you got."

"Go!"

Leo and Raph were up first and they brought their weapons out; Leo's katana and Raph's sai. They looked at each other and started sparring with each other. Leo rises up in the air and Raph runs out of the way and goes to another direction while Leo lands on the ground with his feet. Then, Raph comes out of nowhere and got close to him with his two sai around him. He chuckled and said, "What now?"

Leo stands up and grips his katana and said, "Trust me, you don't want a piece of this."

Leo twirls around his katana and Raph kicks him in the face and walks back, but moments later, the two face off circling each other. Leo gritted his teeth and Raph lowered his eyebrows and Leo raises his katana in the air and said, "Go ahead, punk. Make my day."

"Bring it on!" Raph shouted.

Leo attempts a backflip while holding on to the katanas and Raph ran after him, leaping high in the sky and plans to kick him, but Leo grabs his foot and shoves him to the ground. Leo chuckles mischievously and said, "You ain't got nothin' on me."

"Oh, really? Funny you should say that."

Both of them came in full force and began kicking, shoving, punching and drawing their weapons at each other and everything else. Shifu looked at their fighting skills and seems to become a little impressed with their movements. He turns to Splinter and asked, "How often do you train them?"

"Almost everyday. I always teach them the art of ninja just as my master has taught me." Splinter answered.

"From the looks of this, I'd say it paid off."

Shifu turns to them and said, "Okay! I think I've seen enough."

Splinter turns to them and exclaimed, "Leonardo! Raphael!"

Hearing Splinter's voice caught their attention and turned to both Splinter and Shifu. They were almost anxious to hear what Shifu thinks of their skills as well as everyone else. Leo asked, "So, what do you think?"

"Are we good or what?" asked Raph.

"Well, considering how your master has taught you, I would say...he taught you pretty well."

They looked at each other and Leo said, "So, that means..."

"You both impressed me."

"What did everyone else think?" asked Splinter.

Po was the first to speak out and said, "I loved it! You guys were awesome! You have got to teach me some of those ninja moves. I could use them for training."

"That's if your body fat can support it." Musaki said.

He turned to Musaki and laughed sarcastically. He said, "Very funny, Lil' Saki. Wanna get a headlock?"

"You do that, and I'll give you a real headlock."

"Master Musaki, what did you think?" asked Splinter.

"If you want my opinion, I thought it was supercool the way you guys did those moves! Hopefully, I'll do some training with most of the turtles, that's as if Raph doesn't really beat the crap out of me."

"Oh, we'll see about that, won't we?"

"Zeke?"

"I'm gonna say that it was completely awesome of you guys. You have to show me your ninja skills." Zeke answered.

"Thank you very much." Leo said.

"Now, we turn to the Five." Shifu said.

Tigress looked at Raph and Leo and said to them, "Both of you are impressive. I have to say Raph stands out the most, because he's fierce, quick and so hot."

Raph chuckled softly and turned to Leo and tells him, "She wants me."

"Dude, can you not say anything that won't make me, I don't know, puke?" asked Musaki.

"You're just jealous cause I've got the hots for Tigress." Raph said.

"Puh-leeze! You can have her."

"Okay, enough. Master Crane?"

Crane walks to them and said, "Completely amazing! I can tell that we're gonna get along just fine here at the palace."

"I can't wait to see your skills in training." Leo said.

"Same here."

"Master Viper?"

"If it's all the same, I thought you two were so amazing with those moves. My favorite part is when you grabbed Leo's foot and then when you leap up in the air, it kinda makes me want to join in. I can't wait to see what you do." Viper said.

"Thank you." Leo said.

Leo stared into Viper's eyes and felt as if he's got a little crush on her, but doesn't want to show it just yet. He paid attention to the others as well and got more focused.

"Master Monkey?"

Monkey comes in front of them and said, "You have to show me those moves sometime here. It would be amazing to see what you do here at the palace."

"Can you do kung-fu?" asked Raph.

"Of course. I am very flexible, quick and also approachable."

"I'd like to see that." Leo said.

"Good."

"Master Mantis."

Mantis hopped into Monkey's shoulder and explains to them, "Guys, both of you rocked it out today, but I think Leo stands out more than you. Remember, I did tumble you first because you think I'm small. Don't think I'm small, because I can take you down in a millisecond."

"Now I'm looking forward to that." Musaki said.

Mantis chuckled and turned to Musaki and said, "I knew you would!'

"That was great. You have really impressed me." Shifu said.

"Thank you, Shifu."

Splinter looked at both of them and said, "I am proud of you both. You did not disappoint me."

"We are your best students after all."

"Next up, Michaelangelo and Donatello."

Mikey and Donny were up next and Donny feels totally ready and Mikey was a little anxious about it, but was able to recover from it as soon as they entered in front of them. Splinter looked at them and said, "Do me proud today. Michaelangelo, do not screw this up."

"Yes, sensei." Mikey said.

"I'm serious. Do not mess this up."

"Okay."

"I mean it."

"Sure."

"Seriously."

"Okay, sensei."

Splinter looked at Mikey and puts out his 'I'm watching you' movements towards his eyes. Mikey looks at Donny and asked, "Why's Splinter doing that?"

"Mikey, there are so many questions about you that I wish I wouldn't ask."

"Let's begin." Shifu said.

Splinter looked at them and exclaimed, "Go!"

Mikey and Donny faced each other and they brought out their weapons; Mikey's nunchuks and Donny's staff and bring it towards each other. Donny leaped up in the air and Mikey retreats to the other side and jumps in the air and kicks Donny in the air and lands back on his feet.

Donny comes back from the ground and runs towards him with his staff, but Mikey stops him by putting his nunchuks in front of him. They got caught in the staff, twisting around in different directions. They were both released and Mikey twirls his nunchuks around poses in a ninja-like way.

Donny chuckled and said, "See you've been training, Mikey."

"Your point, dude?" asked Mikey.

Donny stared at him and runs towards him, both clanging their weapons and Mikey does a backflip and goes behind Donny and kicks him in the back. He puts his hand on the ground and raised his nunchuks on the air and twirls them around a bit.

"Come to Mikey!"

Donny continued sparring Mikey with their weapons and also kicking, shoving and doing some supercool tricks. Shifu looked at both of them and he grew most interested in Donny and a little impressed with Mikey, almost. Shifu asked, "So, how often does Michaelangelo train?"

Splinter sighs of embarassment and covers his eyes with his hand and said, "Barely. He almost focuses on training, but mostly just does nothing."

"Really?"

"Yes. But he's physically skilled...when he wants to be."

With that in mind, Shifu told them, "Okay, I've seen quite enough."

"Michaelangelo, Donatello!" Splinter said.

They stop for a minite and turned their attention to the others. Shifu said, "Donatello...I would have to say you seem like you know a lot about ninja more. Your moves are very impressive and I can tell that you've been training a lot."

"Yes, I have."

"And it shows. Michaelangelo...you did good, though I might have to work on you for a while."

"Seriously?" asked Mikey.

"If your master is up to it."

"Of course. And I will watch you throughout."

"Master Po?"

"It's hard to tell, because I think both of you guys are awesome! Why give one of them extra training? They got all the training they need! I loved your moves!" Po exclaimed.

"Musaki?"

"Both of you guys did cool. Donny, you're cool and I'm hoping that both of us can train some and Mikey, I think you're like Po, more upbeat and somewhat goofy. But, you're an awesome ninja fighter. Like it a lot and it shows." Musaki said.

"Zeke?"

"I can honestly say, you guys did amazing. You did your thing and it impressed me a lot." Zeke said.

"Master Tigress?"

"I would say that you did pretty well. Though I have to agree with Shifu on Mikey. I do think you need a little work, but you're good." Tigress said.

"Harsh."

"Master Crane?"

"I have to agree, but then I'd be stupid to say it. Who cares? You guys were amazing! Splinter has taught you well." Crane said.

"Master Viper?"

"If there was ever time that I can train with you both, it would be as long as you guys can stay here. So, I love your moves." Viper said.

"Master Monkey?"

"I think you, me and Mikey are gonna get along just fine here and I can't wait to actually train with you all." Monkey said.

"Master Mantis?"

"Yeah, you guys did okay. It wasn't like I expected, but I like it a lot. So, I would give you guys a nine out of ten." Mantis said.

"Thank you." Donny said.

"Thanks, I think." Mikey said.

Splinter comes up to all of his sons and said, "You four did not disappoint me. I have taught you all well."

They bowed to their master and Splinter bowed to them back as well. Musaki asked, "Is that how they do it in Japan?"

"You do realize it's accustomed both here and Japan." Shifu said.

Musaki realized that Shifu was right that bowing shows respect in both Japan and China ans only scoffed and said, "Yeah, sure. I knew that."

"Oh, did you now?"

That was radically cool! Stick around for more of this story!
