Family is Forever

Fists of Furry: Part 2

Aria's POV:

The Lou Jitsu students bow before the cat poster.

Sara: "We can't fight them, Sensei Cat Poster. They'll kick our butts."

Splinter: "This is true. April, Aria, it is you. You must defend the honor of the Lou Jitsu way."

April: "Me, as part of the last line of defense to save the dojos?"

Splinter: "I would want no one else."

Me: "And I can think of nobody better to fight beside. Also, two against one seems unfair. How about we work as a tag team, with April taking the lead?"

Splinter & April both nod with grateful smiles as we begin training for the fight.

Splinter: "Focus, determination, and treating your opponent with honor. That is the Lou Jitsu way. First core move-block attacks with the gangly limbs of a llama. Second-the Tiger Claw! Pounce with the cunning quickness of a tiger!"

April: "Um, you know, the last line of defense could really use the Seven Deadly Vipers move. What do you say?"

{Time skip}

That evening, both dojos stand before one another at the center of a gymnasium while the Turtles cheer us from the stands while wearing hats with buns that match April's hair, Donnie holding up his phone to record the battle.

Mikey: "Yeah, go Lou Jitsu dojos!"

Kristoff: "Komodo fears nothing. So you pick your opponent, you tiny-headed teen."

Splinter: "Uh, that guy."

The blonde Komodo Dragon sitting atop a wooden crate leaps off the crate and does a karate chop to the air before flexing his muscles and ripping off his shirt.

Komodo Dragons: "Strike fast, strike hard! Oh, snap! You just picked Frank!"

April: "Aw, man. Why'd you pick Frank?"

Me: "Forget the 'why' and focus on the 'how'. As in, how the heck are we going to defeat this guy?"

Splinter: "Aria is right. You can do this, April. Remember the Lou Jitsu way-Remain focused, determined, and fight with honor."

April: "That's exactly the pep talk I needed."

Referee: "First to 3 points wins."

The referee blows the whistle, and Frank makes the first move against April. She manages to block his first four kicks, but the fifth one knocks her backward onto the ground.

Referee: "One point , Komodo!"

April: "Tag!"

Me: "On it!"

I leap forward as Frank lunges forward with more kicks and punches before he kicks me in the stomach, but I remain standing.

Referee: "2 points, Komodo!"

Raph: "You got this, A-Team!"

Komodo Dragons: "Strike fast, strike hard! When we win, we'll go for ice cream!"

April leaps forward to perform the Tiger Claw move with precision.

Referee: "One point, Lou Jitsu Dojo!"

Students: "Hot oatmeal!"

Frank punches the ground in frustration before leaping back onto his feet. He lunges forward as April tags me to perform the Lazy Llama move. I block Frank's punches, and I knee him in the stomach before he can kick me again.

Referee: "Two points, Lou Jitsu Dojo!"

Frank growls in frustration before repeatedly punching the ground until his fist is red and throbbing.

Me: "Ref, we can't fight him. He's injured."

Komodo Dragons: "Strike fast, strike hard! Frank will get X-rays on the way home!"

April: "If he's not going to quit, then I say, we call it a draw."

April & I each extend a hand for Frank to shake, but Kristoff moves to stand between us before he can do so.

Kristoff: "You smell defeat, and you grasp at straws. Komodo never accepts a tie.-*to Frank*-You know what to do."

Frank walks over to the crate and sticks his hand into it. Then, something inside the crate bites his hand, giving him superhuman strength, durability, and dark green skin.

Splinter: "What gives, van Bradford? This reeks of one of your hack movies where you cheat in the end."

Kristoff: "No shock that the Lou jitsu School teaches his signature whining."

Referee: "I'll allow it! Two points apiece. Next point wins."

Frank launches forward to attack and knocks us backward toward Splinter.

Splinter: "You know what to do, girls!"

Me: "I'm not sure if we're ready."

Splinter: "There is only one way to find out."

April & I don determined grins before turning to Frank with a warning look.

April: "Prepare for the Seven Deadly Vipers move!"

Frank's eyes widen as he stops in his tracks.

Frank: "No! Anything but that!-*kneels*-I surrender."

Kristoff: "No. No, no, no, no!"

Splinter: "Yes!"

Turtles: "Hot oatmeal!"

Referee: "Lou Jitsu Dojo wins! Sensei Cat Poster and its students get to keep their dojo."

Kristoff: "Unacceptable!"

Kristoff leaps forward to attack us, but Splinter kicks him into the crate, accidentally releasing a giant Komodo dragon yokai.

Kristoff: "Take me, my dragon."

The yokai bites Kristoff's right shoulder as its venom transforms him into a half-man half-yokai creature with green skin.

Komodo Dragons: "Strike fast, run hard! This just got super weird!"

Kristoff: "I don't know who you think you are, you tiny, hairy teen, but you and your champions are about to cross over to the Komodo side."

Splinter: "You are no match for my Seven Deadly Vipers move, dragon."

We all lunge forward to attack one another when all the lights suddenly go out. By the time they come back on Splinter, April & I have already performed the move and defeated Bradford once and for all, with him having escaped through the roof off to who-knows-where.

Leo: "Yay. You won doing the epic move we weren't able to see."

{A/N: XD; I can't help but laugh whenever I see the Turtles' faces when he says that line; Anyway, continue}

Then, I get a text from Dad on my phone, Donnie supposedly having sent him the video.

Dad: *via text* "That's my girl! Crush your enemies into the ground!"

I chuckle and send him a 'Thanks' with a heart emoji before placing my phone in my back pocket.

April: "Aw, man. He got away! But on the upside, we saved your dojo."

Splinter: "You did wonderful, girls, but dojo or not, the Lou Jitsu Way lives on with you six in every single episode...of life."
