<div class="floatleft">(http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/350/1/4/footninja_by_jennyverse-d8a4zt4.jpg)</div>The Foot Clan warrior with his weapons already drawn didn't hesitate to vault into action, charging at Donatello. The orders had been to bring them in alive, but alive didn't mean unharmed, if they intended to put up a fight. Of course, kunai were a poor match-up against a bo staff. In the hands of a skilled martial artist, the bo staff offered far superior reach to weapons like the kunai. They were still better than trying to fight unarmed against either Donatello or Michaelangelo, but the ninja's best chance was attacking quickly, before the quieter Donatello could raise a proper defense. Of course, if she managed to ward off the initial attack, the Foot Clan ninja was in serious trouble.<br/><br/>Inwardly, the rookie bemoaned not having had more time to work out tactics with his counterpart. Ideally, that charge would have been a feint, blocking Donatello from seeing the incoming attack until the ninja who'd entered melee fell aside and his kusarigama's weighted end had delivered a punishing blow to her stomach. But being the new recruit, he hadn't had the time to develop the same rapport he was sure their opponents had. If, in truth, the duo were as good as he was, as good as their leader was, well... that teamwork could prove to be the defeat of the Foot Clan's squad. For now, he lurked in the periphery, looking for a chance when Donatello might let her guard down, enough to let him strike, either at her... or at the exposed rear of her more exuberant partner, Michaelangelo.
