~Woohoo! reply no. 600!~
*Everything was blurry, and she wazsnt sure where she was. Then the pain hit her like a brick wall.*

*groan* Oooohhhhhhhhhh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucck.....

*Voices started to come clear, and she opened her eyes again. She looked up into the faces of Kali and Splinter. She tried to move, but gentle hands stopped her.*

Wh-what happened to me? *another stab of pain* oowww... I hurt all over...

Sp: Shhhh...you must not move. You were severely burned by the shower water. We brought you in here about an hour ago.

An hour?! Ah man...So how bad is it?

**Kali** · 03-28-2002, 03:36 PM

Not too bad. You should feel better soon. It was the shock that did you in. *pats her hand* And Don wants you to know that he is very sorry.

*Splinter nods* You were very lucky. The water got even hotter after you got out. If you hadn't gotten out of the way, it would have been worse.

**Machias Banshee** · 03-28-2002, 03:41 PM

Yeah, real lucky...Man, I just wanna get out of bed and get something to drink...and tell Don its alright.

**Kali** · 03-28-2002, 03:45 PM

*Splinter shakes his head* I'm afraid you will not be getting out of bed for a few days. We can get you water if you want.

*stands up* I'll get it, and I'll give Don your message too. *leaves the room and is immediately surrounded by the others*

Mike: Is she okay?

Yes, she just woke up, you can go in and she her. Be careful though. *she sees Don's guilty face* And Machias doesn't blame you, Don.

Don: It was still my fault.

**Machias Banshee** · 03-28-2002, 03:50 PM

*Machias stirred anxiously in her bed, not knowing what to say to Splinter. If she'd get questioned about the jokes, or whatnot, she didnt know. She did feel a bit tired tho...*

I'm getting a little sleepy...

Sp: That is all right. *brings the blankets up around her neck.* Sleep well, child. We will be here if you need us...
*He looked at her face one last time before he left the room. He paused to look at the bruise on her face that had came from the fight not that long ago. His faced scrinched in concern, and then he left the room, finding his other students waiting for him.*

**Kali** · 03-28-2002, 03:57 PM

Don: So, she's going to be okay, right?

Splinter: She will make a full recovery. Provided that she gets plenty of bedrest and does not exert herself.

Man, restricted to bed, I know how that feels.

*Splinter looks at his students* Machias is sleeping at the moment. Do not disturb her, but keep an ear out and don't let her move around too much. That balm will only work if she keeps still. *turns and walks away* Kali, I must speak with you about something.

Okay. *follows Splinter out into one of the adjoining rooms*

**Machias Banshee** · 03-28-2002, 04:00 PM

~ooohhh, youre in trouble!!~

*mike snuck into the room, and went to look at his girlfriend. Don, however, went back to his room, still feeling guilty about what happened to Machias.*

*Splinter closed the door behind him and motioned for Kali to sit.*

**Kali** · 03-28-2002, 04:06 PM

~I'm NOT in trouble!

~

Yes, sensei?

*Splinter sits down with Kali on the floor* First, I am worried about Machias. The bruise on her face doesn't look like it's healing properly.

Do you know how a dinosaur bruise is supposed to heal?

*Splinter blinks* I am still worried.

And?

Splinter: I also believe you are at a level in your training to start private lessons. I did it with all my sons as well. You've learned all the basics, and now it's time to personalize your style.

Wow, you really think so?

~See? Gotta go, see ya~

**Machias Banshee** · 03-28-2002, 04:09 PM

~Figures, you get private lessons! just wait til im back on my feet! See ya later!~

**Kali** · 03-28-2002, 06:54 PM

*Splinter nodded* It's difficult to work on one's individual strengths and weaknesses in a group environment.

Oh. Wait, weaknesses?!?

*Splinter smiled* Do not be offended. After all, we all have weaknesses, it's what makes us who we are.

Even you?

Splinter: Even me.

**Machias Banshee** · 03-28-2002, 07:05 PM

~awwww....teenage naked girls who take showers with him!

~

*Machias started to stir, finding friendly green face in front of her. She yawned and smiled.*

Mike: Hey dudette, how ya feelin'?

NOt too bad...i feel like i got a full body sunburn. Where's everyone?

**Kali** · 03-28-2002, 07:13 PM

~Oh shut up!

~

*Mike grinned* Well, uh, I'm not sure. I know sensei's talking with Kali, and Don's in his room, but the others could be anywhere. Oh, here's the water you wanted. *hands her a glass of water*

**Kali thought for a moment* Okay, so when do these lessons start?

Splinter: Tomorrow, after regular practice.

You mean I still have to do group practice, too!?!

*Splinter looks at her seriously* Yes.

Just checking.

**Machias Banshee** · 03-28-2002, 07:24 PM

~hehehe...hey, he saw me too!~
*Machias sat up, albeit painfully. She accepted the water, and drank half of it before giving the glass back to Mike.*

Thanks Mike, that really--

*Suddenly, Machias screamed out in pain, in a voice alien to her normal voice. She started to shake, and her body started to change. She lost more of her human characteristics, and her voice grew rougher and rougher.*

Mike: Machias, what's happen--

*machias rose from her bed, something orange staining the blankets. She leapt from the bed, completely in Raptor form. No longer did she have her normal 'morph' looks. Everything human about her was gone. She growled at the turtle before her and let out a metallic screech before darting out of the room.*

~Am i screwed up or what? dont answer that...

~

**Kali** · 03-28-2002, 07:32 PM

*Kali and Splinter jumped at the sounds. They were out in the hall in a second. So were Leo, Raph, and Don. They were shocked to see the raptor dart out of Machias' room*

Oh my God! Machias, is that you?

*Raph pulled Kali back* Stay back!

*Don slipped into the bedroom where Mike was still in shock* Mike? MIKE! What happened?

**Machias Banshee** · 03-28-2002, 07:36 PM

~Im shocked~! No rude comment?~
Mike: Jeezum crow....My girlfriend just turned into a raptor! What the hell do you think?!?!?!

*They both ran out to the hall where the now fully raptorized Machias stood, hissing and tapping her sickle claws anxiously.*

Don: We gotta stop her somehow, but without us getting hurt in the process...

**Kali** · 03-28-2002, 07:41 PM

~Oh, fine! You're really screwed up. Happy now?~

Raph: Maybe we can trap her in a room.

Leo: Mike, Don, grab some rope or chain weapons from the dojo. Nothing with a blade.

*the two nodded and went off without being noticed, like the ninja they are*

This is going to be difficult.

Splinter: Machias, can you understand me? We're going to try and help you.

**Machias Banshee** · 03-28-2002, 07:44 PM

~You didnt have to be so mean!

Just kidding...~

*Machias cocked her head to the side, looking at the creature before her. In a quick flash, she swiped at his arm and then fled down the hall, looking feverishly for an escape. She soon saw a door and ran towards it like a speeding train...*

**Kali** · 03-28-2002, 07:52 PM

Sensei! *catches Splinter as he falls back, clutching his bleeding arm*

Splinter: After her. You must make sure she doesn't hurt anyone.

Raph: Oh, the girl's gonna pay for that!

Raph! She's scared, don't hurt her either.

Leo: We'll try, but if there's no other way...

**Mike and Don froze holding manriki gusari and kusarigama when the raptor burst into the dojo*

Mike: Oh ****!

**Machias Banshee** · 03-28-2002, 08:01 PM

~a whattie and a whattie? I dont understand! brain overload!~
*The raptor skidded to a halt, blood dripping from her claws. The two turtles looked at her nervously.*

Don: Do we wanna know where that blood came from?

Mike: Uh, nice dinosaur, we aren't going to hurt you...

*mike inched closer, the raptor raising her head higher, her eyes focusing on the indivdual in front of her.*

Don: Wait, Mike, she might think you're trying to hurt her or something. I remember her mentioning something about the female of the species. Dang it, i cant remember it...!

*Mike slowly backed away from her, making sure to move in slow steady movements. The raptor lowered her head to normal height, and sniffed the air. She looked around, her eyes widening and thinning as she scanned the room. She snorted once in their direction and then moved from the room, seeing a ray of light from the door to the outside world.*

**Kali** · 03-28-2002, 08:09 PM

~Yes! Fear my knowledge of ninja weapons! Bwahahahahaha! They are a three-foot chain weighted at both ends, and a long weighted chain attached to a sickle (which he wasn't going to use), respectively. ~

*Leo and Raph ran into the dojo just as Machias ran out*

Raph: Don't just stand there! We have to catch her!

**Kali helped Splinter stand and brought him into Machias' room, where the first aid kit was* Don't worry, sensei, I'll get you patched up.

Splinter: I'm more worried about what could have happened to Machias. *then he noticed the orange stuff on Machias' sheets* Hmmm...
