Declaration of War

Rachel bit her lip and Andrew just glanced merely over at her. He could see how pale in complexion she was. A vision? Most likely. He looked over and then said, "We're here."

"Be careful," Rachel said as she jumped down the railing onto the ground.

Raphael also jumped down, "Alright," He took out his Sai on his right side and twirled it, not wanting to risk dropping his other one and having his brother ask what was wrong, "Let's kick some Foot Ninja ass."

Rachel made just a slight move and Andrew glanced at her. Rachel looked at Andrew and then looked over at Matt. Her eyes lingered on her sister and then eyed Raphael and back to Donatello. Who was fighting Karai? She didn't know. Did she want to find out? "You can do the honors Bria. You've been here before."

Brianna chuckled softly, "As you wish," she smiled and twirled and rammed her foot in the door with a Side Kick, easily breaking it down. "Oh Karai!" she sang, "Guess who came to visit," she walked in and glanced around the room. She put her hands on her hips, "Quite a crowd you got here."

"Just for you," Karai smiled and then looked over as the others walked in, "Well, well. Nice company you have here. Ms. Sanders, Mr. Oretga, Ms. Stacy…" The three Informers just looked at her. "I guess I should have been a bit more careful. You always mentioned that you could…go against me at anytime." She smiled at them.

Rachel stared at her for a while, "You gave me that vision."

Karai just smirked and then turned to Bria, "I'm surprised you went so far to go up against me. Ms. Knight."

Brianna folded her arms, "Just for you, Karai," she answered.

"So, it was all you. Stirring up trouble and nearly getting my brother killed," Donatello stared at the woman.

Karai just shrugged, "It was exciting wasn't it?"

"Exciting?!" Bria hissed.

Hun was there, and he spoke up, "Don't you get it, pipsqueak? You were being used. She was having you train the Foot so she would be able to use them against you and your turtle friends."

Bria scowled at Karai. She forgot she had the headphones on and remembered it because she heard whispering on the other end. She closed her hunter green eyes, and Leonardo was telling her what she should say. She opened them again, and they were now burning a green fire, "Have you no honor, Karai?"

Karai glared heatedly, "Of coarse I do."

"Doesn't seem that way," Rachel muttered.

Karai glared at Rachel and then said, "You shouldn't be talking, Ms. Stacy."

Rachel glared at her but stayed silent.

"She has a point," Matt whispered to Rachel who immediately smacked her upside the head.

"I do have honor," Karai's eyes went back to Bria, "How dare you suggest that I don't."

Bria folded her arms, "Because you went back on your word. You assured me you wouldn't cause anything that would get any of them harmed. And you were using me, weren't you?"

Karai thought for a minute, "A bit. However, rest assured I'm not just using you."

Rachel's eyes narrowed, Matt got on defense and Andrew quietly shifted.

"Then what are you doing, Karai-dono?" Brianna watched her carefully.

"I don't like the looks of this…" Raphael whispered to his brother.

Karai just smirked, "I gave you my word I wouldn't harm them." She nodded over at the Informers, "I had no choice. I transferred Andrew, and upraised his paycheck. Matt was easy, wherever Andrew goes, she'd go. Not only that, her mind is also of use."

"YOU KNEW ABOUT THE TRANSFERMATION?!" Rachel yelled.

Matt and Andrew immediately stood closer just in case she was going to try to lash out.

"I did." Karai said. "Be a bit kinder and lower your voice, Ms. Stacy. Not all of us are deaf."

Raphael's eyes darkened and he gritted his teeth, "I don't like this, Don…Everything goin' downhill fast."

"I do not like it either Raph," Donatello admitted.

Karai stood up and away from the desk, "However, I didn't like the fact that it took forever for a vision to trigger. I'm surprised you didn't force yourself to See. Then again, five minutes into the future. At least the fall down the stairs worked to my benefit didn't it? I didn't plan that part at all. Luck's on my side for that."

Raph held his arm at the mention of that. It started throbbing as if on cue.

"I had to use a computer to find out your transformation." Karai sighed, "No one would tell me a thing."

"We weren't hired." Matt replied, "How did you break into the files anyway?"

"The transfer…you made up the password to the computer," Andrew realized.

"We need to work on new security gadgets, Donny," Lily said from the other end.

Donatello didn't say anything. He knew that. He glanced over at the three. Something wasn't right. Rachel was watching Karai with narrowed eyes, and the other two look like they were waiting for her to snap. 'She saw a vision…' He looked over at Karai who was smirking, 'When is it going to happen?'

"You must be cheering in your head," Rachel finally said, "You worked with us for a few months and knew exactly how we worked." She laughed and then said coldly, "The vision you gave me. It was a fake wasn't it?"

Karai blinked, "It was?"

"You thought visions would only let me see what's going to happen on one side of the story. I don't hear voices in my visions. I See what's going on around," Rachel frowned, "But it worked anyway. I accidentally fell from the railing and Raphael injured himself trying to catch me. You wanted at least both of us injured, but one of us isn't."

"You're observant."

"So when are we really fighting, Karai? I'm here on a job and it pays better than what you would ever offer," Rachel was smirking.

Karai glared heatedly at her. Sparks were flying almost.

"I don't think she's going to be fighting any of us," Matt said, "Bria looks like she's going to be the one ready to snap…" She eyed the girl.

"You tried to get my sister hurt…and Raph's injured yet again…" Brianna's eyes glared death, "Are you trying to get on my bad side? Because you don't need to…you already are."

Karai looked at her and then clicked her tongue. "It seems to me," She unsheathed her sword, "That you're against all this. That's fine. You're no longer a value."

"……Have I ever mentioned how much I hated being used?" Rachel muttered.

"Don't we all?" Matt and Andrew asked together. The trio were eying the surrounding Foot ninja.

As Karai and Brianna went to face off in the middle of the room, Hun walked over to the group. He cracked his knuckles as he faced Raphael, "It'll be fun to see how well you stand now that you don't have a shell to protect your back."

Raph looked up with a glare. He may have gained about 8 inches to his original 5ft height, but this damned mini-mountain was still just that...a mini-mountain. "Yeah, well, you look just as dumb as ever so I'll still be able to kick your ass," he growled.

"I'm also in this fight." Donatello said simply. Like hell he was going to let his brother fight alone. Rachel and Matt were tagging and Andrew was careful enough to move so the foot would attack each other if they were trying to get him in a scuffle.

Hun smirked and after they all got in their stances, the fight began.

-

In the center of the room, Bria had unsheathed her katana and switched it back to a regular blade. "I'm disappointed, Karai…I thought you could be changed. I guess not," she got in her stance and watched her opponent.

Karai smirked, "I guess not either." She twirled her katana and then said, "No holding back this time." And she charged first.

Bria let her emotions swirl to become nothin in particular and easily dodged; "Who said I ever held back against you?" she asked and swung her sword attempting to hit Karai.

Karai blocked the hit, "No one." She let the block go and dodged the hit and swung her sword in a vertical stab, hoping to cut her.

Bria grunted just a bit as her arm got a small slice and she ducked and rolled, slashing at Karai's legs. She growled…Leo's voice was ringing in her ear.

"Are you okay?" Leo asked, the growl that Bria had worried him a bit.

"Leo…" Bria gasped and dodged a strike, "I don't need you in my head right now. I'm going off-line," she ripped her headphones off while Leo was calling her name. She flicked it shut and blocked Karai's sword as she clicked it back onto her Shell Cell. She reared up and pushed Karai away and also did a horizontal slash, trying to cut her.

The slash worked. Just barely but it managed a cut. Karai went back with payback as she did a quick vertical cut. The swords clanged as they met metal to metal.

-

"Ha-ha! Sucker," Raphael grinned as he pretended to dust his hands off. Hun had just fallen with a large thud to the ground.

"Careful Raph he still could get up," Donatello replied. He twirled the Bo just slightly before resting against it, "Although it'd be amusing."

"Nah," Raph waved his hand, still grinning, "He's down for the count, Don. I used that trick Bria taught me and it 'worked like a charm' just like she said."

"Hopefully," Don looked over at Bria's and Karai's fight before glancing around at the Foot ninja. Not many where left…but what really got him was that he only saw Matt fighting, "Where's Rachel and Andrew?" He asked.

Matt managed to get over to where they were and said, "Andrew's currently stealing info, and Rachel.....I don't know. She let go of me and ran off. I wonder if she's going to do the wire trick again. Doubt it."

"If she does the wire trick, she could possibly kill Bria," Raphael frowned as he watched the two sword users duel with increasing speed and strength.

"Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow," Raph winced and pulled the headphones he had off and away from his ear. Once the high-pitched sound was gone, he put it back, "Geez, guys, what was that for?"

"Sorry, Raph," Lily said, "Leo was trying to find either yours or Donny's signal."

"He didn't do a very good job at that." Donatello said. "Why was he looking for it anyway?"

"He wants to know…" Lily was cut off by Leo.

"Bria shut off her signal. I was wondering if she was okay." Leo replied.

Raph frowned and looked to the middle of the room, "They both got pretty good cuts," he answered, "Leo, I know you're worried…but this is more than that. What's up, bro?"

"Something's not right," Leo said, "I'm not sure what it is, but I can feel it."

Right after Leo had said that Rachel cried out, "ANDY!" Matt and everyone heard a loud thud. Matt couldn't pinpoint them, but she had a feeling that Andrew was badly hurt.

"Ha-ha-ha! That'll teach you to mess with my computers!" the hyper mad scientist, Dr. Chaplain, laughed. He had a baseball bat type of contraption and it was sparking with electric shocks. Andrew was laying at his feet knocked out cold.

Rachel growled and took out a vile. "Well, I suppose I can play with you." She felt in her pocket and her eyes widen. 'This isn't happening…' She only had two needles, 'Shit. Oh well…'

Karai took the distraction as a possible upper hand and tried to cut Bria.

Brianna had broken her rule when she had turned to see what was going on. Now… as she felt Karai's katana slice at her back…

Her scream rang through the room.
