Getting In p2

Luckily for the Informers it was noisy because Matt was laughing hysterically and Kimiko had to kick her to get her to shut up at the same time trying hard not to laugh. Brianna was right; she did find a good distraction. "We better keep climbing," She muttered as she tried to hide a smile.

"Lover girl," Andrew and Matt said together. Kimiko glared.

Donatello walked over to the laser gun and weighed it before doing a practice shot at one of the Foot ninja. They dropped like a stone. "Nice," he smirked, "I wasn't expecting it to be light."

At the moment, Raphael was laughing like a maniac as he went about trying to wreck the room as well as some of the Foot, though he left most of them to his purple-clad brother and Brianna.

Bria also laughed as she took out her katana. She noted some of them backing off, knowing what she was gonna do. She ran her thumb below the blade and her index and middle fingers above it. As she went along it, the area she touched started looking like it was flipping. After she finished, she held it out. Now it was a Reverse Blade Sword, "Now I can hit you as hard as I want without killing you," she grinned evilly as she twirled her blade casually.

"Jesus, your sister's sadistic," Matt said.

Kimiko blinked, "Who said she was my sister?"

"I read your file," Matt grinned, "Ms. Rachel Jay Knight."

"Oh, I'm killing you after the job is over," Kimiko muttered.

"Keep climbing damn it," Andrew hissed at the end of the line.

"We're going!" The two told him.

"Since when was your middle name Jay anyway?" Matt asked.

Kimiko sighed, "Undercover just in case."

"Ooooh," Matt said.

"Seriously, ladies, we need to climb!" Andrew groaned, "I wish I was down there and Bria up here. She could kick both of you into moving."

"WE ARE!" The two shouted. Suddenly they fell silent. Kimiko hit her head, "Oh dear god."

"Niiice," Andrew hissed, "Very nice. And you say Matt's the one that gets us all killed. You both do!"

Kimiko looked upwards where a number was easily seen as 15, "Oh god."

"Better tell Bria what a screw up we just did. We're caught now."

Andrew groaned, "God I hate you."

"Yeah well, you didn't help much," Kimiko snapped back.

"Easy now," Matt said.

Kimiko closed her eyes and Rachel tapped her headphones, "Hey, Bri?"

Bria whacked a Foot before doing a front flip onto the back of Raphael's hovercraft as he whizzed by too fast for any of the others to manage. She was so glad she didn't weigh much; otherwise the contraption would have flipped them both off.

She placed her hand over her ear piece so she could hear a bit better, "What is it?"

"There's been a slight change of plans," Rachel sighed as she rubbed her forehead, "A big change to be exact. Just to let you know that. Anyway…" She looked over at Andrew and Matt, "I'll tell you the change once you get to floor Fifteen. Good luck," She tapped her headphones and pushed the vent open.

All the ninjas were down there, waiting.

"Oh god; I hate this…" She grabbed her blowgun and a needle from her pocket and took out a vile. She lay on her stomach and dipped the tip into the vile before putting it in the gun. Blowing hard, she made the needle hit a Ninja. As they got ruffled, Matt jumped down and produced a dagger. Andrew jumped down after her. Rachel jumped down as well after an eye roll.

This was just great.

Bria grumbled something in Japanese before turning to Raphael, "Raph, take out as many as you can in one shot, send a blast through the ceiling, and then pick up Don and me. We've got to move it!" she spotted Donatello and as they flew in his direction she jumped down and took out several in one swipe of her katana. She gave him the same message.

Don nodded and did as he was told. He didn't really know what happened, but from what Brianna sounded, he knew something went wrong.

Raphael made a good shot; taking out half the ninja left in the room, and then blasted a whole in the ceiling that went up three levels. He hovered down to Bria and Don, "Hurry up!" he called and Bria got on a wing while Don got on the back, "Let's rock!" he shot up through the holes he had made just before a couple ninja could leap on.

Back at the fifteenth floor, Rachel barely could get a clear shot for the poisons, and wires were too dangerous to use at such enclosed quarters. Matt was fighting and was getting really banged up badly. As for Andrew he was getting bruises by the minute. Rachel? She was trying her best to find her footing and was using martial arts; she didn't have a Bo or anything. She needed something…

The fight dragged on for a long time but they managed to finish it. Matt was nursing badly cut up arms, and a sprained ankle. Andrew had a lot of cuts, and few bruises and Rachel was supporting a possible broken nose. Blood streamed through her fingers.

"So what's the new plan?" Matt said.

Andrew shook his head, "Who knows. Rach? You okay?" Rachel just nodded.

"Next time……" Rachel nodded over at the wire tripling, "Remind me never to get myself caught in my own trap."

"Yeah, that wasn't the best idea you ever had. Took out five…" Andrew smiled. Rachel glared.

The floor rumbled below them before a hole was blasted through it. The hovercraft floated up and landed, "I'm so glad I was counting…" Bria sighed as Raph turned the thing off, "This baby was about to go tumbling," She carefully slid off the wing and tried to gain her footing.

"It hadn't been completely tested, that's why I guess. But, I tested it for them, huh?" Raph grinned.

"Glad you did," Donatello laughed, "Don't think their going to miss it."

"…" the Informers looked at each other.

"Hey, Donny, can I keep it?" Raphael said hopefully.

"Better make sure it doesn't have a tracer and talk to Leo," Don rolled his eyes playfully.

"You're all so wonderful you know that right?" Rachel was sarcastic.

"What in the shell happened to you?" Bria stared at her sister and sent a bit of her ki to her hand, "Here, let me do a temporary healing until we get home," she walked over and gently moved Rachel's hand from her nose.

"It's fine," Rachel slapped her hand away, "Listen. We need to plan fast, healing for me can wait. Just make sure Matt didn't break anything."

"Thanks for being nice," Matt called to Rachel, "Really."

Bria sighed and tapped her finger on Rachel's nose to at least stop the bleeding and since she knew it would hurt. She went over to Matt and ran a zig-zag along the gashes and cuts so it looked like stitching, "There, that should be fine for now."

"Arigato, Bria," Matt said with a grin.

Rachel had flinched when she tapped and had to cover her mouth to stop herself from screaming. Damn it to fucking hell it hurt. She wasn't kidding either.

Andrew gently placed his hand on her shoulder. He couldn't help her, but comfort was enough. He gently let her shoulder go once she straightened up a bit.

Glaring at her sister, Rachel said, "Thanks so much."

"Your welcome," Bria answered in slight mono-tone. She hated it when Rachel refused help. She checked Matt over a bit more before she stood and turned to Andy. Raphael was checking his hovercraft from top to bottom as well as talking to Leo, and Don was rewiring it so it would run for a while longer.

All in all, they weren't in too much of a hurry. Bria had Andrew and Matt trade spots and first cleaned up a split lip, "Damn…you need some lessons in how to fight, Andrew."

"I know," Andrew said, "Usually I'm the one up in the vents. This is…the second time I had to fight I think."

"Well, if you're apart of this group you're gonna need to learn. I could teach you the basics at least," Bria offered.

Raphael covered the mic part of his headphones and looked at his brother, "Don, are you hearin' what I'm hearin'?" he asked in a whisper.

"Yeah," Don whispered back, "Leo isn't going to be happy..."

"I'd like that," Andrew smiled at Bria, "Speaking of fighting, you shouldn't get upset about her refusing help. She won't accept mine either."

"Why would she?" Matt grinned, "After all, you're the person who has to knock her out to get her to heal."

"…Can't deny that. Only when she was badly injured though," Andrew rolled his eyes. Rachel flipped them off.

Bria chuckled, "I can get her to take my help, but not usually during or right after a battle. Most of the time it works when we get home and she's too tired to argue."

"So she's changed that much?" Andrew threw a glance at the girl who was sitting down on the ground, waiting, "Interesting."

"Isn't it?" Matt asked, "You'd never guess she used to be in the country. Even her accent's gone. No trace of her home-state anywhere," she walked over and sat down right across from her, "Sad isn't it?"

"No," Rachel looked at her, "Not really."

Andrew rolled his eyes and then turned to Bria, "I guess you changed her, that's a miracle."

Bria shrugged, "I seem to have a habit of doing that. It happened once before…though in the end it didn't seem to matter a single bit."

"You never know," Andrew said carefully, "It could have mattered. Some people are just better at hiding it."

Rachel stood up wobbly, "Okay, new plan and strategy. We need one before the rest of the Foot finds out we're here. Although, that could have happened and we're being chased after as we speak. The vents may be no longer an option."

"So what do we do? We're in only a bit of good shape to fight," Matt said, "But by the time we get to the thirty ninth floor we'd be dead if not worse."

"True," Rachel said, "That's why I'm thinking."

Andrew looked at her, "What about the wires?"

"The problem with wires is three things. One, close quarters. Two you guys can get easily caught in them. Three, I don't have my wire cutters."

"Oh that's so nice," Matt muttered, "So we throw you in first and let you fight it out."

"That is an option if you wanted to get me killed," Rachel replied.

"I could…try something, but it'll take a lot of energy out of me," Brianna bit her lip as she thought.

"No," Andrew and Rachel said together at the same time. "We already have two people half-way recovered. We don't need a third," Andrew said to Brianna softly, "We can use your idea if nothing else works."

"Does the two include me or you?" Rachel said, "Because I already counted three."

"It may be the only way…" Bria glanced at the shaft and smoke was coming out of it. She snapped her fingers and a light barrier was able to cover it so it wouldn't affect them. "Elevator is disabled, vents have been gassed, the hovercraft only has enough energy to fly, and the stairs would be a deathtrap as well."

Rachel thought for a minute, "You are a genius." She looked at Brianna, "You're right. They all are deathtraps. If we even take the slightest chance in opening the door we're going to have at least a few ninja here and there."

Rachel looked upwards, "What if…we play a charade?"
