CH:40 Game Plan

Over the next few days we had quite the schedule. In the morning we would train with Sensei before breakfast. Then after we ate, I would do a healing session on Casey, while one of the turtles went to check out the Purple Dragons headquarters. After he got back, we would have a group meditation in the dojo. Once I recharged enough energy I would try to do another smaller healing session on Casey before dinner. Although, I would usually pass out right after we ate. But, while I am resting, another turtle would go check out the dragons HQ once more before everyone else would hit the sack. Within three days Casey was fully healed, we have a full layout of the dragon's building and my energy pool even increased in size quite a bit from the extreme use.

As I'm laying in bed thinking about the last few days, I hear a large crash in the main chamber followed by some maniacal laughter.

I raise my eyebrow as I jump out of my bed and head over to my clothes, wondering what in the world those boys are getting up to. I just throw on black lacey bra and matching panties, with a black long sleeve shirt and some black stretchy pants that I've modified with a perfect sized hole for my tail. With their tight high waist these are the only pants I have that don't actually need a belt. And, stars! Are they ever comfortable!

I'm slipping on my ninja mask while I walk through Donny's lab to find out what is causing the ruckus. But what I see makes me freeze on the spot.

Casey is upside-down on a pile of broken wood that use to be a small table and chairs while uncontrollably laughing. Raph is standing across from him almost on his knees, holding his sides laughing incredibly hard. While the other three Turtles are standing a little bit off to the side falling over themselves in laughter.

Feeling like I'm missing out I couldn't help but ask, "Did I miss a good joke?" Getting all their attention.

As all the other Turtles are trying to gain their composure Donny speaks up first explaining, "It appears that after the substantial beating Casey got from the dragons, his nerve endings are shocked and he can't really feel pain anymore. So we were just putting it through a few tests." Giggling slightly maniacally as he finishes his explanation.

Jones jumps up like nothing happened, "Next, how 'bout ya throw me into a wall?!" He practically screams at Raph, insanely excited.

I shake my head at their antics and take a deep breath to try and calm myself before I express my frustrations, "Look, I didn't just spend the last three days in extreme exhaustion just for you to go hurting yourself on purpose. We have a job to do, or did you all forget that already?" This makes the room almost turn cold as the turtles immediately stop laughing and get serious, while Casey is starting to fume in anger.

With a red face, Jones comes stomping towards me and sticks a finger at my chest, "If ya didn't just heal me, than I'd be laying a beat down on ya."

I just smerk at him, "You could try." Making Raph chuckle as the turtles walk up to Casey and I.

"Look, Ying is right. Now that Casey is better, it's the perfect time to start putting our plan into place." Leo states with the electric spark of excitement in his shockingly blue eyes.

"But not before breakfast!" Mikey yells before he runs off to the kitchen, easing all the tension in the room with us following behind.

As we're gobbling down the waffles that Mikey quickly whipped up, Sensei looks around the table suspiciously before saying, "It's not very like all of you to be eating so quietly. Normally I have to go to the dojo in order to think straight after listening to all of you yell over each other." He finishes with a stroke of his beard.

We all instantly stop and look at each other and swallow hard in unison, before Leo speaks up, "Well Sensei, we were going to get ready for the mission after breakfast." As we all start eating again, eyes filled with excitement.

Master Splinter picks up his tea and just before he takes a sip he says, "Not before morning training." Then takes a nice slow sip to fill the silence as we all stop eating again for a moment, continuing very slowly this time.

After we all cleaned the kitchen in record-breaking time with our perfected clean-up teamwork, everyone but Casey is in the dojo. After calling April down so she didn't miss the "special" training he went and sulked on the couch, playing some of Mikey's games to pass the time.

In the dojo, the turtles, April and I are kneeling in a row, with Sensei slowly walking back and forth in front as he explains, "Today we are going to look into Chi. It's internal energy, the essence of life. It moves inside us, and it flows through our bodies. Gives us power from within and I believe that all of you have innate abilities yet to unlock."

Leo asks in shock, "All of us, Sensei?"

Master Splinter just nods his head making Leo grin like a child. I couldn't help but giggle as I've never seen Mr. Serious look so adorablely innocent before.

Mikey snaps me out of my thoughts as he yells, "Like superheroes?!" Making the rats left ear twitch in annoyance from all the interruptions.

Then Raph asked, "But Sensei, how do we use 'em?"

I cleared my throat and pointed out, "Actually those weapons I made you might help with that." Everyone looked at me egear to learn more. So, with a smile I continued, "I sensed chi in all of you guys a long time ago, so I decided to make those weapons into Chi amplifiers, powered by Talvian crystals. They should help with your training as well as they give you something to focus on. And Donny, once you figure out how to control your staff with your Chi, you'll be able to fully utilize all of the nanotech that I stored inside it." The turtles all look at their weapons with new admiration and sparkling eyes.

Sensei nodded his head slightly as he stroked his beard mumbling, "I thought I could sense power resonating from these weapons." Then he cleared his throat before directing us into a stance. "It's all about focus and energy but physically manifesting it. It's expressing your Chi, your own life energy, through sheer force of will. All things are possible when mind, body and spirit are balanced and harnessed to complete the same task. All you have to do is concentrate. Focus on your weapon as an extension of your own body and begin your katas."

We practiced for about 2 hours before Sensei let us go. Each turtle was able to make their weapons glow slightly, matching their colors, but were unable to fully manifest their Chi. April had it the hardest as she doesn't have an amplifier and this was the easiest for me as that's how I use my abilities. But I focused on attempting to hover off the ground by a few inches throughout the training session, 'I so want to be able ta fly someday soon, but this is a lot harder then I thought and quite draining on my energy reserves.'

After training, as I'm trying to think of a way to fly that won't cost me so much energy April walks up and asks, "Hey Ying, I don't know how else to ask this so I'm just going to come out and say it. Would you mind making me a weapon that can help me focus my Chi after you guys come back from the mission?" She finishes by giving me the puppy dog look and as her neon green eyes sparkle at me I can't help but give in.

I scratch the base of my horn as I agree, "Sure thing. When I get back we will chat about what kind of weapon you would like." I flash a fang as I give her a smirk and walk away to start prepping for the mission.

Once night falls, the Turtles, Casey and I are crouching on top of the building across the street from the hideout.

After looking through some binoculars for a moment Leo turns around and faces us, "Okay we have a few options, we could sneak in through the vents and drop down on them from the rafters in the ceiling. Or, we can get the jump on a few of the Dragons before they enter to steal their clothes and walk in through the front door." After thinking for a quick moment he looks at me and asks, "How many are we dealing with?"

I look across the road and focus on the energy within the abandoned warehouse. Which is not very abandoned considering it's literally full of people. I could only see one bare spot in the middle. "Ah boss, we got a problem. It looks like a lot more then what you guys have described before. It's a full house down there." I finished focusing back on Leo.

Casey now looking through the binoculars points out, "It must be they're freaking initiation night or something by the amount of scum just pouring in through their front door."

Donny suggests as he is holding his chin, "If that is the case then I think the front door is our best option. With all the new faces, they won't recognize us and it should be pretty easy to get our hands on some clothes. Plus if we can blend in, then it'll be a lot easier to figure out what's going on."

I think for a moment before I suggest, "I think that I will still go in through the vents on the roof. After all it's pretty hard to hide these horns and tail. That way in case you guys get in over your head I can attempt to even the odds, so to speak."

Earning a satisfying nod from Leo, "That's a good idea. It's always best to have some backup in case we need a plan B."

"Alright, can we go bash some heads in now or what?" Casey asks out of impatience making Raph crack his knuckles in agreement.

With a bit of a chuckle we jump down the escape ladder and go find us some idiots to leave naked on the street as we put our plan in motion.
