2nd Transmission [Video]
[The screen flickered for a second before turning on. It showed Donnie in his room, having moved enough things out of the way that his bo staff wouldn't hit it. He was moving through a few katas, moving his staff expertly and quickly through various moves that only a highly skilled ninja could follow. He may not be in his world anymore, but he was in some world that could have some kind of danger appear any second. He needed to be prepared for anything.
You've been playing with your stick all day, when are you gonna quit? It's boring to watch you after the first hour?
Look Kamemon, I have to train. If I don;t my ninja skills will get rusty, and while I'm here I certainly don't want that happening. Besides I do this on a daily basis at home, this is just what I do.
Ugh, fine. I'm just gonna keep playing with your D-Terminal until your done.
...Your what? You didn't turn anything on, did you?
Ugh... no. [Well except the camera, but who would watch something as boring as a fifteen-year-old humanized turtle play with a giant stick?]

It is difficult to shake old habits. I was considering finding a way to maintain my training myself. I may not be able to utilize some of my abilities, but I can at least maintain my hand-to-hand that I have been working on.
But whyyyy do you need to?
It's just the principle of the matter, Gizamon. I cannot speak for Donnie, but I am used to a certain degree of fighting and sometimes those fights were against opponents much stronger than myself. I have also seen those without powers take down super powered opponents so I know that it is possible.
Yeah! But you guys just don't get how powerful some of the digimon out there can be. They can blow you up without a second thought or eat you in one bite and still have room for ten more!
[Kaldur just shakes his head. It seems he and Gizamon can not reach an understanding on this.]
Would you like someone to train with?
no subject
What's the matter Donnie? Afraid that you'll get your butt kicked?
Of course not!
no subject
It's not going to help. But you've stopped listening to me about that haven't you? [Pause, she smirks.] But I bet you could beat the turtle guy at least.
no subject
See? You ARE afraid of getting beaten! Can you even fight without your stick?
Kamemon, I've had fifteen years of martial arts training with and without a bo staff. Yes, I can fight without my staff!
Sure you can, keep telling yourself that.
no subject
What? You guys want to fight. It will show us who can beat the other.
It is not about beating each other, it is about maintaining our ability to fight OTHER opponents.
[Decides to direct conversation to Donnie.] That is a considerable amount of practice. You might even be more skilled than my friend Robin. It will be interesting to see.
no subject
Ugh, I give up... [Sits and pouts]
