Fighting The Good Fight

[Elisa/Maven Of The Eventide]

Diamanda chuckled.

"I'm just teasing. Sometimes you take things too seriously." said Diamanda.

She smiled as they kept fighting. Exchanging blows.

"So you're doing ok? Well aside from this war." said Diamanda.

She chuckled again listening to him talk about reviewing terrible games.

"So nothing's new then. Well that's not as bad as some of the movies I've had to review." said Diamanda, teasing him.

XXXX

Nella grinned at him.

"Well I can't help but admire you. Your intelligence, your fighting skills, making all those inventions. But I'll stop if you want." said Nella.

She grinned as they started training. She had dodged his first attack but now their weapons clashed. She smiled at him as the force of the attack pushed her back.

"Thanks for not going too easy on me. After all I need the practice if I want to get better." said Nella.

She smiled as she broke free and swung her weapon at him knowing he'd probably block or dodge. But it was still good practice.

XXXX

"And here I thought we were friends." mocked Ruber.

He chuckled at him. Joe just didn't get it. He was stuck working for this army.

"I couldn't hurt any of you. This mark would stop me before I could do anything. But it's amusing you have a few villains in your army and you let them in. But you're so distrusting of me. A transformer, witches, a scientist, and much more. And I'm the one you're worried about. The one who can't hurt you? Any of them could betray you in an instant if they felt like it." said Ruber.

He paused looking at Joe and chuckled.

"You're right. I don't know anything about you. But the same good be said for you. Just because you saw the film I was in doesn't mean you know anything about me either." said Ruber.

Ruber smirked at him.

"You want a fight. You got it?" said Ruber.

Ruber lunged at him as their swords clashed. Perhaps this would be an interesting battle after all.

XXXX

Brock smiled glad the cat was taken care of. He turned to Hal with a grin.

"Alright. I haven't really fought much before. So this is a new experience for me like I said. But I want to help out where I can. Although I probably will most be the medic. But if I'm needed on the field I need to be able to at least defend myself." said Brock.

He smiled and charged at Hal swinging his weapon at him ready to strike.

XXXX

Elisa smiled glad Rachel took her advice. She smiled as they kept fighting. Rachel swung at her shoulder and Elisa tried to block it. But Rachel took her by surprise and stomped on her foot holding in place as she swung again. Elisa freed her foot and blocked the attack although the force of the blow pushed her back. She smiled at Rachel.

"Not bad. I'm glad you're on my side." said Elisa.

She grinned and swung her sword at her again as it clashed with Rachel's sword.

[Henry V/Hal]

"I do not!" Spoony retorted, smiling all the way, seeing Dia tease him to death. As they continued talking, they also continued to fight. He then laughed a little at Dia's joke about her movies "The stuff you watch is worse than my stuff. That's saying something" Spoony then sighed happily and nodded "Ever since getting Goggles back, I've been feeling a lot lighter" He shrugged with a grin. He felt terrific now having her back, sure it still needed its perks but he loved Goggles enough to still try and try his hardest. He then gulped "Though being Second in command now is tough. It's a lot of pressure. Do you honestly think I can do it? Be honest. Truly honest. I'm open for you to not say I can do it"
XXXX

"I actually love getting praise but stopping sounds good. Don't want you to make me arrogant now" Donny said honestly, despite the fact Nella was fooling around. He continued training with her, glad she was happy with him not going easy, this WAS training after all. Then she began to charge at him and donny dodged, knowing now he had to get serious. He then clashed again with Nella's sword with his bo and did his best to not hurt her but also to seem tougher than he wanted to be
XXXX

"Well you thought wrong" Joe snapped. Joe then got angrier at Ruber as he mocked him due to the fact that he couldn't hurt anyone and yet he was still worried about him. Well if Joe himself was a enemy that claimed to not be able to hurt anyone and forced to work for them, would you trust him? No. Absolutely not. Joe didn't care and he was tired of talking. He just wanted to shut Ruber up and win this training so he could grumble back in the house. He clashed swords harshly with Ruber and just panted, he was getting a bit tired but his anger got the better of him today. He wanted to prove Ruber wrong and show himself that he could beat someone. Anyone. Especially a former enemy.

"Take as much time as you need friend. This will be taken as slowly as you need" Hal said assuringly, aware that brock showed signs of nervousness due to the fact he just started today. He then saw Brock clash into him and Hal chuckled, amused with Brock's attempt and gently Hal pushed his staff to push brock off the colliding staffs. Hal smiled "Good start. Now be sure to dodge for I will attack too. Like right now" He grabbed his staff again and prepared to throw it down on brock but it was slow enough for brock to try and dodge. Like Hal said, he would take this as slowly as brock needed.

[Elisa/Maven Of The Eventide]

Diamanda chuckled at Spoony.

"Of course you don't." said Diamanda.

Diamanda chuckled at that.

"Yeah. Sometimes I wonder why I watch the stuff I watch. But then I wouldn't have a review show. Besides I like keeping my audience on their toes." said Diamanda.

Diamanda paused as he said he felt better with getting Goggles back. Then he mentioned being second in command was tough and asked if she thought he could do it.

"Well Snob I have respect for. He's reviews similar stuff to me. And yet we haven't done a crossover yet. I should work on that. But as for you I think you have what it takes. Plus you have something Snob didn't. That ring." said Diamanda.

She points to Ma-Ti's ring that was still on his finger. She hadn't known Ma-Ti much being one of the reviewers who hadn't interacted with him much before the war. She had gotten to know him a little since she got here though.

"I know you'll make Ma-Ti and Snob proud. I miffed they didn't choose me but I do believe you can do it." said Diamanda.

She smiled at him as waited for him to come at her again.

XXXx

Nella grinned at him.

"You're right. They'll be more time for praise later." said Nella.

She grinned as they kept going. She dodged his next attack narrowly as their staffs clashed.

"So how am I doing? I mean I know I still need some work but I'm improving right?" said Nella.

XXXX

Ruber chuckled at him.

"Temper, temper. Facilier, Ask That Guy, and the others will actually be trying to kill you. And they'll be saying a lot worse than me. And some will even have magic. If you can't even stop me what chance do you have against them." said Ruber.

He paused realizing somewhere along the line he'd started helping Joe. Perhaps the man had gained his respect after all. He grinned at that.

"You know perhaps I was wrong about you. But only this battle shall determine that." said Ruber.

He grinned as they kept fighting as they clashed swords. He swung his foot at Joe's feet trying to knock him over.

XXXX

Brock smiled at him.

"Thanks. I'm glad you're my training partner. You seem to be really good at this. It's an honor to train with you." said Brock.

Brock was shoved back by Hal as their weapons clashed and he grinned. Hal swung at him and Brock jumped to the right and dodged it. He then swung his staff at Hal trying to knock him over or at least take him by surprise.

XXXX

Elisa kept up her training match against Rachel. Rachel had definitely improved since she'd first arrived. But she was having fun. Maybe she should train with Rachel more often. She grinned and swung her staff at Rachel again.

[Deleted]

"Thanks I'm so happy to be here" Rachel said as Elisa tried to block her sword, Rachel tried to clash again with Elisa's sword. She smiled to her as Rachel blocked from if the sword will be on Rach's shoulder.

[Spoony]

Listening to Dia was easier than he assumed. Spoony actually felt better now that Dia had confidence in him. Sure she had respect for snob, they all did, but she having faith in him was a good sign. Spoony raised his sword a little to get ready but he responded "Thanks Dia. When a ruler tells me that I got what it takes, I know I can do it. You're a good friend" He then charged at her but was weary of her concentration.
XXXX

Donny smiled as the two of them focused and clashed. Donny was enjoying Nella's company more and more, if only because Donny liked to make friends. Donny listened to Nella's question and responded assuringly "Absolutely! You're doing beginning steps but like you said you'll work on it and improve. So far though you're doing well! I'm having fun actually" He chuckled before aiming a attack but he went quick enough for her to notice and try to improvise about it.
XXXXX

Joe didn't listen. He just kept training. Ruber DID have a point but his arrogance wouldn't allow him to admit it. He kept clashing and almost didn't catch the compliment. He was confused at Ruber's praise and exclaimed "Wait what?" Which unfortunately caused him to trip down onto the grass. Annoyed, and slightly amused, Joe quickly got up and his snark came to frutation with his trademark smirk "Alright. You caught me there but you won't next time" With that he aimed a clash around Ruber's side
XXXXX

"Please I have not fought for some time. You are quite the warrior yourself. I am enjoying this too. The honor is mine" Hal politely responded as the two clashed. Hal liked this boy. Brock was pretty nice from the whole team's perspective and he definitely had manners as well as cheerfulness. Hal grinned as Brock dodged his attacks but was caught slightly surprised when Brock aimed a attack at him. Sure Hal dodged it but it surprised him, and it caused the former king to chuckle in amusement "Well done young man, that surprised me. Hopefully you shall continue that trait with our enemies"

[Elisa/Maven Of The Eventide]

Elisa nodded.

"Your welcome." said Elisa.

She grinned as Rachel blocked her attack. They were bioth getting better at this. She swung her sword at her again as their swords clashed. She chuckled.

"Well at least we're having fun." said Elisa.

She grinned and jumped back before charging at her swinging a kick at her feet.

XXXX

Diamanda grinned at him.

"Well don't let it go to your head. Your ego's already big enough." teased Diamanda.

She chuckled and then he charged at her. She ducked his attack and blocked it with her own sword.

"Not bad. But you'll need to do better than that." said Diamanda.

XXXX

Nella grinned as he said she was doing well.

"Great. You think you could be my private tutor? I know you have work in the lab to do. It wouldn't have to be every day. I think I'd just feel more comfortable training with you. But if you can't I could ask Splinter or someone else to help me." said Nella.

She would still train with him today regardless and any other time he wanted to train. But if he said yes she'd look forward to their training sessions. She wanted to get stronger. She no loger had the power she had as Dark Nella. So she was vulnerable and at a huge disadvantage. She wanted to be ready to protect herself and help her friends. She then smiled as he attacked her. She dodged the attack moving to the side and grinned. She then swung her staff at him swinging at his arms.

XXXX

Ruber chuckled at the question.

"I'm surprised myself. Perhaps you're a worthy fighter after all. I'm sure I'll have my answer by the time our training session is over." said Ruber.

Ruber grinned seeing he'd tripped Joe up. Joe got up again quickly. Ruber smirked at Joe's response.

"We shall see." said Ruber.

Ruber grinned as Joe swung his sword at him. He blocked it a bit shocked that now he was having fun fighting him. He hadn't realized how much he'd missed training like this. Once he'd betrayed the knights he hadn't found anyone to challenge him. First Hal had defeated him and now Joe was quite good zs well. Perhaps they all had underestimated Critic's army. He would no longer do that. He grinned and charged at Joe swinging his sword at Joe's neck.

XXXX

Brock grinned.

"Well this is my first time really. I guess you could say I was a peaceful man and didn't really prefer fighting much. I had my Pokemon to protect me if I got into trouble but those have been stolen from me tempoarily before like I said." said Ruber.

He paused realizing the man probably didn't know what Pokemon are. He pulled out one of his Pokeballs from his pocket as it grew as he touched it.

"Pokemon are monsters in my world. We capture them in these. I have a few of them in my possession at the moment. They're sleeping at the moment but I could show you them later if you like." said Brock.

He then pocketed his Pokeball as they continued sparring. It was surprised how close he'd come to hitting Hal and was grateful he missed.

"That was too close though. I need to be more careful. Any pointers?" said Brock.

He wanted to improve his swing and his timing. Perhaps with the right practice hecould stop attacks if necessary. Something that would mostly only be needed in training but he really didn't want to hurt hal or any future opponents he trained with.

[Henry V/Hal]

"I won't, the only reason my ego's big is because I am pretty deserving of it" Spoony replied teasingly as the two continued to clash more. He then smirked as Dia praised him but said he would have to do better than what he did. "Oh trust me I will" He then aimed to swing, abeit carefully, to go clash more sword-fighting with Dia. He was enjoying himself quite a lot.

"No! I'd love to be your tutor! I'm not as great as splinter mind you but I can help! It'd be fun too!" Donny replied, quick to accept Nella's request to teach him. He wanted to be friends with nella so maybe this would get him the chance to do so. Not to mention, helping someone else would make Donny feel less guilty over his lack of actions from previous. He saw her dodge his attack and make one of her own, he dodged it but grinned as she seemed to be getting faster and more level headed with her attacks. "Nice! You nearly hit me!" Donny said cheerfully
XXXXX

Joe turned to smile slightly. He was actually starting to have fun now. Although he still didn't trust Ruber, he would've been lying if he didn't say the banter he had with him or the training wasn't fun. Joe slashed as much as he could and dodged Ruber's attack on his neck. As savage as that movement was, Joe knew villains from other sides would try that so he ignored his complaint. "OK. This is actually great. You're a good fighter. I'll give you that since you gave me that" He slashed some more
XXXXX

Hal cocked his head curiously as the boy showed him pokeballs and explained pokemon in the basic of ways. Hal smirked and responded "Perhaps you can show me them indeed. Never before I have ever heard of these things. This world is admittedly strange for me. Forgive me for stating so" He then saw Brock fight and he huffed as he fought and when he saw brock nearly hit him, Hal got the better of him and he dodged quickly. He chuckled as Brock stated that he needed to be more careful while sparring and asked for tips. "Hold your weapon fast first of all so it does not slip from your hands. Then you make sure to keep it close to you. If you feel you do not have the weapon you are not holding it properly" He grinned, and showed his hands holding his stick tightly "Just keep a tight hand young man"

[Deleted]

"Yep we does having fun" Rachel chuckled. She had more fun here rather than New York. Rachel tried to block Elisa's sword with her palm. Then Rachel swung her sword to Elisa's shoulder making Elisa bent a little if Rach could do it. But in the meantime she had fun.
