Chapter 26: Let's get ready for battle
An hour went by as the four teenagers got prepared for their first battle.
Ray looked up at the box she had in front of her, it had a note on it from her mom.
"Mom...." Ray opened the box and it was a ring, not a wedding ring but more like a class ring.
Ray smiled and slipped the ring on her finger.
"Ray? What are you looking at?"
"Mom's class ring, she said it was for me in the note" Ray smiled and looked at the ring.
"Aw, well, what does the note say?"
"It said, ' Whenever you look at this ring, think of me. My eternal flame ' She used to call me Eternal Flame?" Ray smiled. Raph nodded and ruffled her hair.
Ray grabbed her leather jacket when Raph handed her a case.
"What's this, pops?" Ray looked at him, confused.
Raph smiled and opened the case, there were 2 sai's identical to his but the handles were bright red and had a black ribbon wrapped around it with small freshly cut rubies on the end of it.
"I was saving these until you were old enough, I think you're ready now" He said and smiled.
Ray gasped and grabbed the sai's,"Whoa"
"You like them?"
"I love them, pops!" He smiled and ruffled her hair.
Leah put on her jacket and saw Leo, "Dad? What's up?"
"I have something I want to give you"
"Oh? What is it?" She looked at him.
"Well.." he started and showed her a box. "This is for you"
Leah opened the box and saw a beautiful tanto blade with the handle ocean theme.
"I was hoping to wait but now seems like a better time to give it to you" he finished.
Leah smiled and hugged him,"Thanks dad" then she realized it had her mother's initials on it, "This was moms?"
"Yeah.. I kept it so.. I could pass it on to you"
"I love it, dad!" Leah smiled.
"You're welcome"
Aubrey grabbed her bag and put her boots on.
"Hey Aubrey? You got a second?"
"Yeah, Papa?"
"I have something for you"
"What is it?" Aubrey walked over to him. Donnie smiled and handed her a box.
"Open it, I think you'll like what's inside"
Aubrey opened the box and it was a metallic boa staff, it had a purple ribbon around it with the Hamato Clan symbol stitched on it.
She gasped,"This is for me?"
"Mmm hmm!" He nodded and smiled.
"It's beautiful" Donnie looked at her and smiled
"You're mother wanted me to give that to you on your 15th birthday" he told her with a sad smile.
"Mama? But, how did she know-" Donnie cut her off.
"Your mother had a... talent for seeing into the future, so.. this was something she wanted me to give you"
"I will do my best, papa! I will make her proud" Aubrey smiled but deep down worry and fear consumed her.
Serafina sat down in front of Mikey, he was trying to put her hair up in pigtails.
"Hey, Monkey?" Mikey said, he finally finished putting her hair up.
"Yeah, Pop-Sicle? Are you finished?" Serafina looked up and he was holding a case.
"I'm finished! But here is something special!" Mikey smiled and opened the case, it was a set of dual nunchaku.
The handles were pink, and had a flower stitched onto his handle.
Serafina gasped and smiled, "For me?!" Mikey smiled and nodded as she grabbed the weapons and smiled.
"Thank you! I love them so much, Pop-Sicle!!" Sera hugged him tightly and Mikey hugged back just as tight.
"Sera, come on!" Leah was at the front of the lair with Ray and Aubrey.
"Coming, Lele!" Sera pulled away and ran over to them.
Leo walked up the end of the stairs and Leah bowed down, then gestured that the others follow her out of the lair.
"Be safe..." Leo mumbled. Raph patted him on the back, reassuring him that this was for the best.
