Having A Day Off (Open)

[Dr. Zachary Smith]

Mano chuckled shaking his head at the pair.

"Well at least life is never dull and boring around here." said Mano.

He smirked as things seemed to calm down. He heard Sage

"You really don't want to make her mad again do you? She has a pet tiger and she can fight. I'd be more worried if she ever got a weapon. She'd probably hurt you before Aladdin or any of her friends. And there's also Maleficent. From what I hear they're practically best friends now. So keep going and you might end up angering powerful sorceress who can turn into a dragon. I wouldn't want to be you right now." said Mano.

Mano blushed a little at Jasmine's words.

"I grew up in the rain forest so I was always close to nature. And then I got the ring of heart that allowed me to talk with them. But I don't know why Zira or Scar like me now. They didn't even pay attention to me before. I hope they don't like me they way they like a steak" said Mano.

He shuddered at the thought.

Jasmine nodded calming down.

"I'm glad you will. And well Aladdin and my other friends wouldn't be happy about it. But I can take care of myself." said Jasmine.

She paused as Mano stood up for her mentioning Rajah and Maleficent and she smirked.

"He's right you know. It's a good thing I didn't bring Rajah with me. He's a good friend. He's very loyal and very protective." said Jasmine.

She paused at Sage's words and nodded.

"Yes we can be friends. Although it is nice to see I still haven't lost my touch with my glaring." said Jasmine.

She chuckled. She paused glancing back at Mano seeing Zira and Scar keeping looking over at them.

"You know you have a way with animals. I didn't expect those two to like anyone. I'm the one who gave Scar the matching scar on his other eye so he probably doesn't like me that much." said Jasmine.

Scar paused listening to her. He frowned as she said she wished he'd told her sooner.

"That's funny. I could have sworn I told you. I guess it must have slipped my mind. Well no matter you know now. And we should begin plans to take care of Sarafina as well. She hasn't been out in the battlefield in a long time so we should prepare in case she shows up again at a battle." said Scar.

Dr. Smith listened to him.

"I see. Then we will do what we can for him." said Mechakara.

Smith smiled as Rodney agreed magic wasn't something to be feared.

"I understand the nature to fear it. But you see as much as I hate magic it's like any other tool. Like weapons, guns, or inventions. They can be used by us or against us. But you shouldn't fear it or them. We will take the other armies down soon enough. It will just take more time than we originally thought." said Smith.

Smith paused listening as Rodney agreed with him.

"Then this isn't good. We must talk to Dark Heart. Get her to see reason. Get Mechakara and Insano and the others to help. She's no match for Facilier. She's in no shape to go after Facilier. Plus he's probably angry about Mechakara hurting him during your escape. Which means he could take it out on Dark Heart." said Smith.

He paused as Rodney hugged him and Smith hugged him back.

"It's fine. It's a hug. It's what friends do. Although you should make sure you only hug your friends. But you should keep an eye on their mood. If they're happy they won't mind. If they're sad it could cheer them up. But if they're mad they may not want you to hug them." said Smith.

Natasha grinned.

"Your velcome. Seeing Leonardo work for you would be quite fun. And he's clearly fought the other turtles here in the war. He probably knows his brother's move and splinter's moves even better than the two of you." said Natasha.

Natasha nodded.

"Yes. Three of the turtles and Splinter are there. Leonardo's on Facilier's side last I checked. So all your enemies are here. You know perhaps you should consider keeping that turtle around. He could be a good warrior for this army. Even if you take out the turtles and splinter there are still other powerful warriors we must take out as well. If and when you decide to kill it should be after the war's over and we won. At least that's my suggestion anyway." said Natasha.

Natasha nodded.

"I guess so. It probably only exists in my world. But there could be other versions I suppose. I may never know though. But I do hope I can one day take out Rocky and Bullwinkle." said Natasha.

Natasha paused looking at Karai and smiled at her.

"Perhaps. The moose and squirrel are pretty tough though. I've tried to stab them, blow them up, drown them, you name it. And they always get away and ruin our plans. My boss Fearless Leader wasn't very happy about it. Several times he nearly killed my partner Boris and me four failures but we talked him out of it. I just hope Boris is ok alone back there." said Natasha.

Natasha nodded to Karai.

"Yes. We can begin soon. Perhaps tomorrow if you like. Today was a day off for us all to relax. Let's enjoy it while we can. We're not likely to have a whole day off in a very long time." said Natasha.

[Rodney Antwiler]

Sage nodded at both Jasmine's threats and Mano's. He gulped at the mentions of Rajah "Yeah, I don't want to be mauled by a tiger, as awesome as it looks it probably is really painful. So I think I'm going to back off for the sake of my health and safety" He then nodded meekly as Jasmine offered to be friends but was pleased to see that her glare worked. He shrugged "Yeah. It's scary. I guess you gave the perfect definition to "looks that could kill"" He then turned to Mano who explained his powers with animals "Seeing they don't look hungry I doubt they find you appetizing. I think they genuinely like you"

"Good. Mechakara deserves peace from his fear. I feel guilty for not being able to understand it completely" Rodney sighed sadly, feeling bad. To be honest, Rodney genuinely liked Seven's father not only because he allowed her to be with Rodney but because he was a good father, a good warrior and a smart individual. Rodney felt bad for his girlfriend's father and considered mechakara to be a friend he cared about. Thanks to Insano's reprogramming, Rodney was blessed to feel more love for seven than he already did, if that was even possible, and to feel compassion and empathy for others.

"I understand. Magic, although not your favorite use of tool, is still a thing that we can use beneficially. It is just the people I should be aware of. Yet my systems still feel negative about them. It is something I must conquer but eventually I will um, as they say, get over it. Thank you for your advice and patience, good Dr. Smith" Rodney responded, a soft smile on his features. The smile was incredibly shy but it was a start.

"I concur to everything you said. We will talk to both Insano and Mechakara and some others to make a meeting with DarkHeart to stop her. She, as much as I understand her feelings, is not thinking clearly and needs to be aware of her own personal safety. Facilier or Rita could harm her, malachite is still injured so he is least likely but rita and facilier are in perfect condition. They can kill her if they wanted" Rodney said frighteningly. He didn't want anything to happen to the older girl. If anything did, it would affect them emotionally and physically in the war. His love would be distraught. Lesser numbers meant less chances of winning. Besides, DarkHeart deserved a better way to solve the issue.

"Very well. This is good to learn! I am understanding it now. Only hug when they want you too or when they feel certain emotions. If they do not want them, do not give a hug. That is good. I am glad you are alright with this" Rodney said optimistically. Hugging smith seemed easy to do and it felt nice, maybe he should do it more often. He smiled as smith hugged him back. "This feels nice, Dr. I like hugs"

"Excellent. Most excellent. Leonardo will soon be in my grasp and the rat along with his other brood will fall in my hands by Leonardo's weapons" Shredder chuckled evilly. He then listened more to Natasha's words and responded patiently "Your suggestion is wise, Natasha. I will definitely consider it. Leonardo has potential and now that he is vulnerable I can take his potential and use it for my own purposes. I suppose I can spare him for the use he gives and let him destroy the rest, and when he realizes his family's dead, I will kill him with that last thought" He chuckled again, looking down at his blades.

"You will. All you require is patience. Your enemies should at least know they were fools to challenge you" Shredder confirmed as Natasha mentioned bullwinkle and rocky again.

"Hmm. It appears difficult but everyone has a weakness and your enemies are no exception. We will find a way to destroy them I assure you. As for your partner, if he should ever come to this place, he is welcome to join us if you wish it. More people aware of the war means more potential and use to our army" Karai said calmly, seeing Shredder nod in approval.

"Tomorrow sounds like a wonderful time. Today we can enjoy ourselves. Perhaps my father and I can tell us about our successful lives if you wish. So you can get to know us even more than you already do" Karai said with a cheerful grin.

“Did you?” Zira racked her brain for the details of such a conversation, but she came up with nothing. “I don’t remember us talking about that.”

“I guess it must have slipped my mind. Well no matter you know now.”

“I suppose you’re right,” Zira murmured reluctantly.

Scar quickly changed subjects, talking about what they should do to Sarafina. Whatever further discontent the former queen had been feeling was gone in an instant. Her red eyes narrowed in rage.

“She’s probably too afraid to show her face on the battlefield, the little coward,” Zira sneered. She would expect nothing less from Sarafina.
