Nine tailed mutant legend

[Sharingan_Warrior5693]

Extremly odd story line but still good. Come on man you just had to let Sasuke get captured like that? He could have owned all those knights.

Nine Tailed Mutant Legend

CHP 9: Truth or dare?





Kitana enters her bedroom, to see the bed empty. She looks over at the opened window. She walks over to it, where her curtains blow back and forth. She looks out of it, down at the many trees and mountains.

“Be careful Subzero.” She whispers.

Raphael swims in a lake to cool off, and to remove the paint from his body. He does not spend much time in the pool of water before getting out. He gets out and begins running through the forest. An arrow comes out of nowhere, heading fast at him. The turtle dodges the weapon pulling out his Sais, turning around. Someone jumps out of a nearby bush, shooting three more green arrows at him. He dodges one of them, and slashes the other two to the ground. Raphael looks over at the person with anger.

“Who the shell are you? And why are you trying to kill me?” Raph asks, impatient.

“I am Night Wolf. You have trespassed against my territory, and will have to die. I know your one of the invaders.” Night Wolf says, putting another arrow into his bow.

Raphael jumps out of the way of the speeding arrow, putting himself behind a tree.

“Look you crazy man, I’m one of the good guys!” Raphael yells, from behind a tree.

Night Wolf ignores him, shooting more arrows to try and get him out from hiding. Raphael runs around a few trees and logs, getting behind Night Wolf. He punches the Mortal Kombat fighter to the ground. His bow falls to the ground, but he gets back up to face Raph. He puts his two Sais onto his belt, putting his fist up. He throws a kick at Night Wolf who grabs it. He jumps up kicking Night Wolf in the face, with his free leg. Both fighters jump back at the same time.

“Listen to me Night Wolf, before one of us does something he regrets. I’m not one of the invaders; they are after me as well.” Raphael explains.

“I’ve never seen you in my life, so I find it hard to believe you. I’ll give you a chance to run; I’d rather not kill you.” Night Wolf replies.

Raphael pulls the two Sais off of his belt.

“Bad decision my friend.” Raph replies.

The two jump at each other, only to have Raph knocked to the ground by an energy blast. Night Wolf looks around to see knights, surrounding the two of them. Night Wolf runs over to pick up his bow, but only to have it blasted in half.

“You must be Night Wolf. Stay out of our way, our only objective is to take full control of this planet. The turtle is the one we want dead.” The Knight tells.

Raphael gets up, running next to Night Wolf.

“What do you say we kick these guy’s butts?!” Raph asks.

Night Wolf smiles as they get shell to back. The two fight off the knights who surround them. They are greatly out numbered. Raphael blocks the knight’s blades with each of his Sais. The two continue to fight the invaders for a few more minuets, as they fall back. They are knocked all over the place. Suddenly a few knights are frozen in place. The knights turn around to see the ninja in blue and black.

“Subzero! How do you still posses your ability to freeze? I heard Azun had already taken care of you.” A knight asks.

Subzero jumps over and shatters the bodies of the knights he froze in place. He turns to the others after doing so.

“My abilities can’t simply be taken away, like that.” Subzero replies.

He does a front flip into the air, landing in the middle of them. Raphael and Night Wolf join him. The three of them fight against the knights together.

Shalion Temple

Zatanna lays in the bed with her eyes closed, just thinking. She can hear the door being unlocked and sits up, using her magic to fix her hair a bit. Sonya enters the room, sitting at the end of the bed.

“How are you doing? My name is Sonya, Batman sent me up here to check on you.” Sonya says.

Zatanna smiles at her, but at the same time uses her magic to place her hat on top of her head.

“Hi Sonya, I’m Zatanna. I feel just fine, maybe a bit tired though.” Zatanna tells.

The two of them sit in the room talking. Batman, Kung Lao and Liu Kang all train together. Liu jumps into the air, bicycle kicking Batman into a wall. He quickly turns around and uppercuts Kung Lao. The Shalion fighter lands on his feet, facing Liu. Batman stands behind him.

“I’d say that is enough, you were impressive Liu. But now I want you both to go against me.” Batman says.

The Dark knight takes off his utility belt, and throws it to the side. He walks over to the middle of the room, with Liu and Kung Lao standing on both sides of him. The three of them stand in silence, with the entrance door opening. Leonardo steps in, sitting down in a chair.

“Begin, Come at me hard!” Batman says, breaking the silence.

Both Liu Kang and Kung Lao charge him at the same time. Bats jumps into the air as they both throw punches, Liu and Kung Lao stop before there fists end up in each others face. The two look up to see him gliding down, as he kicks them both to the ground. Quickly they are both up and attacking him! He blocks a kick from Liu, but is knocked over by a punch from Kung Lao. He is back up quickly, grabbing a punch from Kung Lao. He twists his arm around, and throws him into Liu, who jumps out of the way. Batman ducks down, as Liu performs a flying kick.

“Wow, the three of them are really good. They all seem to have different fighting styles, nothing like my bros and I.” Leonardo says to himself.

Kung Lao throws a shuriken at Batman, which is cut in half by the blades on his gauntlets. He grabs Liu by his arm and shoulder throwing him to the floor. Kung Lao comes from behind grabbing him by his cape, and swinging him around. Batman is thrown into a chair, which breaks on impact. Kung Lao rubs his hands together, as Batman gets up.

“Time! That is about it. For a big guy like yourself, you sure can move fast. What are you like 6’4?” Liu asks.

“Actually I’m just 6’2. Let’s move on, are you ready Kung Lao your up?” Batman asks.

Liu Kang looks over at Leonardo.

“How about two vs. two? Leonardo and I against the two of you. Weapons will be aloud this time.” Liu suggest.

Batman walks over to his utility belt, and puts it back on. Leo gets up, walking over to the middle of the room standing next to Liu. Batman and Kung Lao stand in front of the two. Everything is silent for a little bit.

“I’m ready, let’s do this.” Leo says, pulling out his Kitana swords.

Leonardo jumps up and begins his attack on Kung Lao, while Liu Kang and Batman fight. Many minutes go by as the four of them train. Inside of Batman’s room Spiderman, Zatanna, Sonya, Naruto, and Johnny Cage talk.

“Hey guys, I have an idea of something that we could do that is entertaining! Have you guys heard of Truth or Dare?” Naruto asks.

Everyone looks at him as if he were crazy.

“You must be joking right? That game is for little kids.” Sonya says.

“Trust me guys it will be fun, just play one round at least. If you don’t like it, we can be done.” Naruto tells.

There all quite not knowing what to say.

“I’m in, it’s not like it will kill anyone.” Spiderman says.

Everyone else agrees to play, and they begin.

Miles away

Subzero, Raphael, and Night Wolf have defeated all of the Knights. Night Wolf limps a bit, holding his sprained arm. The three of them make there way to Night Wolfs hideout. Night Wolf digs into his refrigerator offering Raph and Subzero drinks. Subzero declines, with Raphael accepting.

“Thanks a lot pal, I needed an energy boost.” Raphael says.

Night Wolf walks into a back room. He wraps bandages around his arm. Subzero turns to Raphael.

“Can you tell me why those knights are after you? And where you came from?” Subzero asks.

Raph takes a deep breath.

“These guys are after my DNA, or whoever it is they work for. I followed them through this dimension, and that is how I ended up here. Unlike most of the guys there after, they can take my brothers and I dead or alive.” Raphael tells.

“So you have brothers, that’s interesting. I’m assuming you all got separated.” Subzero adds.

Night Wolf re enters the room.

“So what are we going to do to stop the knights? I for one have no clue, there are just so many of them.” Night Wolf says.

“You stay here; I’m going to take the green guy back to the Lin Kuei temple with me. I have a few things to do, before meeting up with the rest of earth’s defenders.” Subzero tells.

Night Wolf sits down in a nearby couch.

“I just hope we can stop those guys in there path. What they are planning to do doesn’t sound good.” Raph adds.

The turtle follows Subzero out of the door. The two of them make there way to the tree tops, jumping from branch to branch. The Lin Kuei warrior and ninja are fast paced. Subzero leads the way.

“So Subzero where did you learn that awesome freezing technique?” Raph asks, doing a front flip onto another tree. Both fighters move fast, not messing up. Subzero creates an ice slide, to keep him from falling. He slides down, leaping up onto a tree.

“It’s a natural talent of mine.” He answers with pride.

Subzero and Raphael continue to jump forward, as a missile speeds toward them, they jump out of the way. The missile passes between them both. They jump from the tree tops, landing in front of a robot. Subzero identifies the cyborg as Cyrax.

“What a treat you actually survived, Azun has sent me to help eliminate all threats. Both you and the turtle must be dealt with.” Cyrax tells.

He shoots a green net at the two of them. Both fighters dodge it.

“Let’s kick the shell out of this guy.” Raphael says, pulling out his weapons.

From the surrounding trees, two more cyborgs pop out. They stand next to Cyrax, ready to attack the two. Subzero identifies them as smoke and Sektor.

“I guess I spoke to soon.” Raph says.

[raphaeltmnt]

The robots shoot missiles out of there chest at the same time. Subzero freezes one of them, while Raph jumps out of the way of another one. It explodes into a tree. The turtle kicks off a tree slamming himself into Sektor. The two of them begin fighting. Sektor and Raphael kick each other in the face at the same time. There both knocked back. Smoke watches at the side, as Cyrax begins his attack on Subzero. Cyrax throws a series of punches at Subzero, which are blocked. Subzero hook kicks him close to his neck area. Raph cuts into Sektor, as oil shoots in his face.

“It looks like your having an oil leak, I doubt you last long.” Raphael says.

Sektor does a back flip, kicking him in the face. He goes a few feet into the air, landing on his shell. A few minutes go by, with the four of them still fighting. Smoke stands at the side, stating to get agitated. He studies Subzero and Raphael move for move.

“If the two of them do not hurry and finish this, I’ll step in and do it myself.” He thinks, while watching.

The robot records the fight, saving it into his memory core. Subzero punches into and pulls something off of Cyrax’s back. The Cyborg immediately falls to the dirt, with his hands reaching for his head area. Subzero looks down at the fallen fighter, who seems to be confused.

“What happened, where am I?” Cyrax asks.

Subzero realizes what is going on. He turns over to Raphael, only to be hit into a bush by smoke.

“Raphael, these cyborgs are being controlled!! You must destroy the device on the bottom part of his shoulder!” Subzero yells.

Subzero jumps up and fights with smoke instantly. Raphael jumps over Sektor, stabbing a sai into him. The robot falls to his knees, while Raphael makes his way over to Subzero. One of them fights him from the front, and the other from the back. Subzero and Raph kick him in the head at the same time. The turtle slashes a sai into him.

“That should take care of him, let’s get out of here so we don’t have to stay here and explain.” Raphael suggests.

“Agreed, we don’t want this little event here to cause anything else.” He responds.

The two of them run, making there way to the tree tops once again. Over thirty more minutes pass. Raphael and Subzero arrive at the Lin Kuei temple.

Shalion Temple

“The truth is I was some what the guy older boys picked on, until I finally got to high school.” Johnny Cage tells.

“Alright this will be the last one. Zatanna, truth or Dare?” Naruto asks.

She seems to be spaced out, until she is tapped on the shoulder by Johnny. Zee looks at everyone around her.

“Ok I choose dare.”

Sonya sits up on the bed.

“Let’s make this last one interesting. I want you to kiss Spiderman for ten seconds.” She says evilly.

Sweat runs down Peters face behind his mask. Zatanna blushes while smiling. She looks over at Spidy, who looks the opposite direction. The intensity in the room builds up. He finally turns to her, lifting his mask up past his mouth. Zatanna moves on her knees across the bed, to get to him. She wraps her arms around his neck, bringing her lips to his. Their lips collide and his hands make there way up and down her back. Her tongue rubs against his lips; he reacts by opening his mouth allowing her to enter. The two kiss passionately. Naruto watches on the side with wide eyes! Time goes by with the three of them watching.

“That’s enough you two; it’s almost been a minute.” Sonya says, pulling Zatanna off of the wall crawler.

Spidy takes deep breaths attempting to catch his breath. Zatanna moves up, sitting down at the edge of the bed. She looks over at a wall.

“This was fun you guys, but can you all promise this will stay between us. I think it’s better if Batman doesn’t find out about these events.” Zee almost whispers.

“If that’s what you want, we can all keep a secret.” Johnny says.

The others in the room agree to it. Zatanna turns to all of them and smiles. Spiderman pulls his mask down over his mouth.

“That would be a funny site to see, Batman playing truth or dare. That wouldn’t happen in a million years.” Spidy says aloud.

Naruto and Zatanna laugh a little bit at the thought. Johnny stands up stretching.

“Let’s all head downstairs; I’m sure Liu will make us something to eat.” He suggest

The group follows Cage outside of the room. Inside the training room, Leonardo swings his swords at Batman, which he blocks with his gauntlets. Liu Kang swings Kung Lao around, throwing him into a wall. Batman sees this throwing a batarang at Liu, hitting him across the head. The shalion fighter turns around to face the Dark knight, only to see him kicked to the ground by Leo. Liu Kang gets back up, performing a flying kick which sends Kung Lao into Leo. Bats gets up, siding by Liu. Kung Lao gets up as well putting his hat on.

“This was a good session, but if we are to fully be ready for the invaders, we should rest.” He suggests.

Batman attempts to speak but a blast of electricity appears before them all.

“The four of you need to come with me right now! The outsiders are destroying villages, killing the men and children.” Raiden shouts.

Liu and the group grab onto him, as he transports them all. They re appear on a battle field, the site of flames and the smell of dead bodies is present. Raiden leaves the four of them, returning to the elder gods.

“Alright let’s go in guys, try not to get separated.” Leonardo says.

Kung Lao kicks down the entrance door to the village, which was partly already in flames. The sound of screams and cries can be heard throughout the village. Kung Lao runs over to fight two knights who have just beheaded a man. Liu jumps over a burning carriage, going after a knight about to execute a group of teenage boys. Batman runs over smashing into a burning wall of a cottage, where the many screams of children can be heard.

“This just can’t get any easier.” Leo says, shaking his head.

The turtle runs over to a couple of knights, who are hanging men from burning trees. A knight picks up a burning log, swinging it around in an attempt to hit Liu Kang. The knight is taken down, and Liu does the same to many others.

Shalion Temple

Jax, Sonya, and Zatanna enter the training room. The two girls turn around to look at him.

“Why are the two of you looking at me like that? This is where they were; maybe they went outside for fresh air.” Jax tries to explain.

The three of them are out of the room, as quickly as they got in.

On the

Battle field

Batman makes his way into a burning room, where three children cry in the corner of a wall.

“All of you come to me right now!” Batman yells, putting his hand out.

There all shocked at the situation and don’t move at all. Batman sweats from the heat of the flames. Part of the roof comes down on bats, he falls to the ground. He quickly pulls himself out of the burning rubble, running over to the children. Wrapping his cape around them, he pulls out his grapple gun shooting it outside. The wiring wraps around a tree, pulling him and the kids out. Leonardo sword fights with a few knights. He cuts the fingers off of one of them.

“Kill that *******!” The knight yells in pain.

Leo jumps over the knights, stabbing his sword into him. All across the village, some knights retreat with the woman of the village. They ride away on horses. The three children run from Batman, crying and yelling for there parents. A knight retreats on his horse, Kung Lao seeing this takes off his hat. He throws it like a boomerang, cutting off the knight’s head. His dead carcass falls off of the horse and into a puddle of mud. The shalion fighter catches his hat and puts it back on. Liu finishes un tying the young men.

“Can any of you tell me how this all started.” He asks.

A knight tries to attack Liu from behind, but he reacts quickly sliding out of the way. Liu uppercuts the knight, and kicks him into a pile of burning wood. Batman and Leonardo brutally beat on a group of knights. Liu Kang turns around to see the group of boys running. The earth realm protectors fight off the knights for a little while longer, before the battle is finally over. The four of them look around, to see dead villagers, dead knights, and a destroyed village.

“Look over there; it looks like he might be alive.” Leo says, pointing.

A little boy lays in the dirt bloody and beat down, but still alive. The group makes there way over to him. Batman bends down, putting the kid in his arms.

“Hey boy, can you hear me? Can you tell us what happened?” Batman asks.

The others stand behind him. The kid’s eyes slowly open. He tries to talk, but coughs blood onto the ground.

[raphaeltmnt]

“Th the guy’s i i in black armor ca came out, kill killing everyone. Th they took al.. all the women, an and killing the res rest of us.” He struggles to say.

“Why?!” Why did they take the woman, and kill everyone else?!” Batman asks, yelling a bit.

The boy begins to fade out, but the dark knight shakes him. Trying to keep him alive, even if it is just a bit longer. His eyes open again.

“They sai ss said something about re.. reproduction.” He tells.

Batman’s eyes close as his head goes down; he knows exactly what is happening. Liu Kangs fist are clinched, with anger. The boy looks up at bats.

“Can you dd do me a favor, please sa save my sister Chika? I wat wa watched both my parents d die today, she i is th the only one le le left.” He says his last words, as his head falls back.

Batman’s eyes open, as a tear falls out.

“I promise boy.” He says with much emotion.

It begins to rain; Kung Lao places his hand on bats shoulder.

“There is nothing more we can do here, we must go.” He tells.

Batman spots a nearby blanket that was only partly burnt. He sets the boy on the ground, wrapping the blanket over his body. He then walks up next to the others.

“I guess it’s time we go after them, there are a few horses on that hill top. We can use them as our transportation.” Batman says.

“I can’t believe there using the woman as sex slaves, this is unacceptable. We must catch up with them quick.” Liu says.

Kung Lao leads them all to the horses.

Lin Kuei Temple

Raphael sits at a table with Subzero, the grand master, and a few other Lin Kuei ninjas. The group talks about what they can do to stop the invasion.

“Raphael son, do you have any idea where there main base might be located?” One of the Link Kuei members asks.

“Nope, I don’t have a clue. Theses guys randomly came out of nowhere wanting to kill and take my DNA.” Raphael responds.

The grand master calls for everyone’s attention.

“As for now, I’m going to send Tokie, Raphael, and Subzero to find there hideout. But before my decision is final, I would like to see you spar in the ring with a few of the Lin Kuei’s best.” The grand master tells Raph.

He smiles at the challenge sitting back in his chair.

“I’m ready, bring it on” He replies.

He thinks it better not to mention his captured brothers at the moment; he knows the time will come for that.

To Be Continue.

Nine Tailed Mutant Legend

CHP10: Discovery




Liu Kang and the group ride through an open field. The horses gallop at high speeds.

"We should keep to this path, we will run into them. I just hope we're not too late." Kung Lao says.

Not even two seconds pass, and they are surrounded by a group of familiar foes, who come out of the trees to their side. The invaders sit on the tops of black horses.

"Hey you Civilians over there, stop right where you are!!"

The wind plus the speed they are moving at, blows Batman's cape at an upward position.

"Why don't you murderer's try and catch us, all you have done is create sadness and pain to the people of this world!" Kung Lao yells back.

The evil beings speed up, putting themselves next to the earth defenders. Leonardo holds on tight, reaching back in his sheath for a sword. Batman does the same, while reaching into his utility belt.

"You ingrates will be forced into submission!"

Liu leaps to the side, kicking one of them onto the ground tumbling. He now rides on the horse of the knight. Batman pulls out a batarang, throwing it to his side. The projectile hits another of them in the head, causing him to fall onto the field. The remaining guy realizing his defeat retreats going the other way. Leo looks back at the retreating character.

"Thank goodness there were only three of them; I don't know how many of them we could have taken, especially in this position." Kung Lao says.

The four of them continue on their path, hoping to catch and stop another group of the outsiders. Raphael steps into the ring cracking his knuckles. He looks outside of the ring to see a group of Lin Kuei fighters cheering. The surrounding walls in the room are covered with Japanese décor. In front of Raph, two of his opponents step in.

"Do your best Raphael son; I don't expect you to defeat them both. However I would like to see you take one of them down." The grand master tells.

The turtle steps forward, moving to the middle of the ring. His opponents do the same.

"So what's you're guess? Do you think this green guy will even beat one of them?"

"This mutant obviously is not from around here, I doubt he can take either of those two veterans."

Two of the members talk among each other. Subzero stands next to the grand master with crossed arms.

"You may begin; this will be a three minute match. I don't want either of you holding back on him." The grand master tells.

Both men nod, before turning to the turtle. The fight begins with one of them jumping over and kicking him in the back of his shell. Raph spins to the side, keeping himself from falling. The other ninja throws shurikens in his direction, noticing it instantly dodges them. One of them pulls out a staff while the other reveals a long blade. Raphael too pulls out his weapons. The staff comes at him in great speed and force. He jumps and slides out of the way of it. While doing this he kicks the weapon out of the wielder's hand. He turns just in time to block the blade of the approaching sword. He slashes the ninja on the arm, but is kneed in the stomach. The other Lin Kuei fighter from behind, kicks him to the ground. Showing no weakness, Raphael jumps right back up.

"Impressive, he isn't too bad. Let's just see how long he can keep it up." The grand master says.

Time passes by with the turtle sparring against some of the Lin Kuei's best. One of them tackles Raphael onto the ground, punching him viscously. He kicks the ninja into the air, after the few seconds of the punishment he took. Raphael jumps up running over to the ninja, throwing a series of punches and kicks on him. He ends it by upper cutting him out of the ring. The Lin Kuei member falls unconscious on the cement floor. The group of ninja's watching are clapping and cheering. Raphael smiles while turning to his remaining opponent.

"Un believable, maybe you should have had him fight against me. I'm curious to where he learned his techniques from." Subzero says.

"This turtle creature hasn't disappointed, let's see what he does with the amount of time that is left."

The Lin Kuei fighter kicks into Raphael who falls back a bit, but once again catches himself. The ninja attempt's to round house kick Raph across the face, but only to have it blocked. The turtle counter's it by throwing in a knife hand, which is blocked by the ninja. Both wanting to end the fight, pull there fists back gaining power. They slam there fists into the other's face. Both fall onto the ring floor. There seems to be no movement from either of them for a moment. That is short lived, as one of them slowly gets to there feet. The crowds of ninjas are loud and cheering, standing before them is Raphael! Both Subzero and the grand master stand shocked.

"I can't believe that turtle guy won, and not only that! But he K.O.'d them both! A ninja says in the group.

The grand master looks at the time, to see that forty seconds remained.

"You put on quite a show Raphael son, now step out of the ring and come this way."

Raph heads over to Subzero and the grandmaster.

"I would like to ask you a question. Who is your sensei? Surely you didn't learn that type of material arts on your own?" The grand master asks.

"It's actually a really long story, but I was trained by my Master Splinter. I can explain it to you later if you'd like, but for now we should focus on the mission."

The grand master looks over at Subzero, and then back at Raphael. He places a hand on both their shoulders.

"I guess your right, and I have made my decision. The two of you along with Tokie, will be the three I will send out. The three of you will begin your journey as quickly as now."

The grand master calls over the Lin Kuei member, as the four of them exit the room. They are given utilities and maps, before leaving.

Miles away

Batman pushes on a huge gate, which leads to an enormous castle. The dark knight enters with the others at his side. They walk across a field, making there way up some golden steps. Kung Lao places a hand on Batman's shoulder, pulling back on his cape slightly.

"We don't even know if they are inside. If we have made a mistake, we have a chance of being imprisoned for trespassing."

Bat's thinks about the Shalion fighter's prediction before turning around.

"That is why we will get in un noticed. If you're that concerned, you can wait out here, while the rest of us go in."

"I'm not worried, I just wanted to be sure you are aware of that."

The group back up from the castle.

"The best way for us to enter, is to find an opening on the rooftop. I want you all to grab hold of me." Batman tells.

They do as they are asked, while the caped crusader grapples them up. They walk slowly and carefully, making sure that none of them falls. The group walks over to a part of the roof that is stable.

"I think it best that the four of us split up, in groups of two. It will lower our chances of being noticed." Liu suggests.

"Good thinking, we need to lower our chances in definite, especially if this is one of their head quarters." Batman adds.

The dark knight digs into his utility belt, pulling out three devices.

"I want you all to wear these close to your ears, just incase we get separated somehow."

The three of them take the gadgets from him.

"What about you, how are we to keep contact with you if something happens?" Leonardo asks.

"I have one that is built into my cowl." He replies with half a smile.

The four of them stand silent, looking down at the many fields. Cows and horses can be seen galloping, or chewing on the dark grass. The warriors observe them for a while.

"It's time we head inside. Remember that if this is one of their bases, we get in and out. They would out number us by too great a margin." Batman tells.

The four split up, with Kung Lao traveling with Liu to the left. Batman lasers a window open, as he and Leo jump in. The room is filled with dust, and spider webs stretch among the walls. Leonardo walks over to a bookshelf, rubbing his hand across the top shelf of novels. He clears the dust off to read a few of the titles. Batman looks at the many lamps, which are covered in web.

"This must be the adic, judging by the surroundings." Leo says.

Batman picks up a picture, wiping the dust off it. He studies the image.

"I'm going to agree with you, it would seem they keep their antiques up in this place. This picture is of a passed king, which leads me to believe the invaders are not here."

"Maybe so, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't take a look around. After all, their trail seemed to have stopped in front of this place."

The turtle walks over to a spot in the room, pulling on a chain that pulls a board out of the ground. Fresh air enters the room; Leo looks down to see a hallway. Both He and the dark knight jump down. They move along with extreme caution. Liu and Kung Lao walk side by side, in a hall that get's its light from the torches on the wall. Stacked up against the walls are silver armor's, and paintings.

[raphaeltmnt]

"I would imagine the people in this place would get depressed sometimes. Just look around, there are hardly any window's to let in some light." Liu complains.

"I don't know, but this place creeps me out a bit. We need to hurry up and see what is going on in this place, and get out.

The sound of footsteps can be heard ahead, the two-shalion fighters are quick to hide behind a statue. Kung Lao peaks his head out to get a glimpse. His eyes widen at what he sees. He puts his head back in, looking over at Liu.

"What is it?! Tell me what you saw?!"

"We need to contact batman, it's the knights they're here. They must have taken down the leaders of this palace."

Kung Lao fidgets with the device in his ear, trying to figure out how to work it. After pressing two buttons, the dark knight and Leo are notified. Both Leo and Batman look at statues that are made of clay.

"What is it; did the two of you find something?" Batman asks quietly.

"I don't know if the two of you discovered them, but the invaders are here! You don't have to ask me if I'm sure, I'm positive it's them."

"Good find, but we can't leave just yet. We need to find out why they are here, from what I have seen this castle is ran by citizens. I want you and Liu Kang to stay hidden, and try to locate the main room. Leo and I will do the same, Batman out.

The transition is ended, as Kung Lao turns over to Liu.

"Let's follow them down that hall, but slowly."

Both of them stand up, walking down the hall. A huge door can be seen, with a lot of sound behind it. Both of them walk over, putting an ear up next to it. So that they can hear what is going on.

"Everything seems to be going good, Klenk will be proud!! Our master's dream will finally become a reality."

"So the women of this planet, will be taken back to ours? Or will they be held at our bases, here in this world."

"It depends; they are picked at random where they will go. You need not worry about that, our main focus should be on accomplishing the mission."

Liu and Kung Lao stand there for a bit, listening to them talk back and forth. They are both surprised, as they are pushed into the room. The two of them were to slow to react. From the ground, the shalion fighters look up at the tyrants.

"I found these two spying outside of the door. I'm assuming they've heard a lot and should be dealt with!!"

The group of villains looks down on the two, who try and stay calm. Showing no fear, both shalion monks stand.

"I don't know how the two of you got in here, but this is not acceptable! I want the two of you to follow me."

Kung Lao almost protests, but Liu gives him the look to go along with it. Glass from the ceiling comes crashing in! They all look up to see the caped crusader gliding down. Leonardo comes sliding down a rope. Batman kicks the leader of the group, as he comes down.

"They aren't going anywhere with you! And what have you done to the citizens of this palace?!"

The knight gets up wiping the blood from his mouth while smiling at bats.

"All of the un cooperative beings were killed, as for the others that is strictly private. Both the king and Queen were executed for not following our King's rules."

"I don't know what kind of sick people you are, what is the name that your leader goes by? If he is so great and powerful, why doesn't he do things himself?" Kung Lao asks.

"Our king goes by Klenk, and never speak of him like that again!! I will cut your tongue out and feed it to the mosquitoes! Enough with the questions, the four of you will be disposed of this instant!"

The earth defenders get back to back. Leonardo takes out one of his swords, while Batman pulls out two batarangs. Liu looks down to see he did not come prepared, forgetting his nun chuck. Just as they are about to be attacked, the group of villains are electrified! Liu Kang looks to his side to see Raiden.

"I'm not sure whose rules you're all following, but this is a planet of peace. Is it power what your leader seeks, destroying the lives of innocents is not power! Nor I or the protectors of this planet will let you succeed!"

"Big words old man, but at this point we've already won. Alright gentle men, kill them all." A knight tells.

Raiden performs his torpedo glide, knocking a few of them into a wall. Batman grabs Liu Kang by his wrists swinging him around; he throws the Shalion fighter into the air. While up high, he performs his bicycle kick into the face of a knight. Raiden grabs another one of them shocking the dark warrior. Leonardo turns to Kung Lao, as the two of them fight a group of knights.

"I just have one question, how did you and Liu get discovered?" Leo asks, dodging a speeding blade.

"These guy's caught us off guard; I will make sure that doesn't happen again." Kung Lao replies kicking one of them across the room.

Batman elbows a knight into Raiden's direction who uppercuts him. Liu Kang shoots his dragon fire at a few of them. They are knocked over, but most of them get right back up. The surrounding doors bust open, with more of them pouring in.

"What is this, like two hundred to four?!" Leo says a bit nervous.

Raiden looks around to see them quickly being out numbered. He fires off a few lightning bolts to clear a path.

"All of you grab hold of me!"

Liu Kang and the others jump over the many knights, grabbing hold of Raiden. There all teleported away. The knights look around confused on what happened to them. Raiden and the others re appear in front of a temple. A slight wind blows to the east.

"What is this place?" Leo asks.

"I want the four of you to wait outside here. Inside is the elder gods, I have one last meeting with them. It shouldn't take to long, so I want you all to be patient."

Raiden steps forward entering, with the four of them standing in place. Leonardo spots a huge rock, walking over and sitting on it. Kung Lao sits down next to him, while Liu Kang and Batman stand next to them. They give there devices back to Batman.

"I'm really starting to wonder how many of them there are, we could be in deep trouble. I'm not saying we can't win, there is always a way to come out on top. Things just seem to be getting tougher." Bats tells.

"I think it's time we go after them, from where ever there coming from. The longer we stay here, the more of them continue to come." Kung Lao says.

"That would be dangerous; we would be too out numbered. We need to come up with some sort of plan." Liu Kang tells.

The four of them sit there for over an hour, and when Raiden doesn't show up they begin training with each other. Many hours go by and Raiden finally exits. He comes out to see the four of them meditating. He looks up at the sky to see the sun setting behind the clouds. Raiden speaks bringing them all out of there Transition.

"I'm sorry, but that took much longer than I thought it would. Let's head back to the shalion temple now."

They all get up, as Raiden takes them all back to the shalion temple.

Subzero, Raphael, and Tokie walk around a lake. The three hold maps, as they continue walking toward substantial mountains. Raiden returns with the others into the training room. The room looks the same way they left it. The thunder god leaves them once again, through bright electricity. The four of them head into the back room to get cleaned up. The group takes there time, finishing at about the same time. Bruce throws his bat suit into a washing machine, putting on some clothes. Liu and Kung Lao do the same, and the four of them exit the back room.

"Your suit should be clean within the next thirty minutes." Kung Lao tells.

"No problem, I'll just get it tomorrow I will be turning in early. Leonardo and I will be going to recover his brothers first thing in the morning; I want the two of you to just focus on the invaders."

"How do you know that it isn't them, who have them captive?" Liu asks.

"I don't, but this will be a two man job no questions asked."

Everyone is quite until the entrance to the training room opens, as Spiderman and Naruto enter. Bruce shakes his head realizing the mistake he made.

"What the heck! Bruce Wayne, what is he doing here?! And what happened to Batman?!" Spiderman asks.

He looks around confused, and can see a smile grow on the billionaire's face. Spiderman almost laughs at this.

[raphaeltmnt]

"Are you serious, a guy like you is Batman?! I find that hard to believe, you seem so bright and cherry on TV. Do you have a split personality or something?"

"The questions can wait till later; we just got back and are tired. There is a lot that needs to be done tomorrow." Bruce responds.

"Speaking of that, where were you guy's all day? We tried looking for you, but gave up after an hour." Naruto asks.

"As I said before, questions can be answered later."

As Bruce heads to the door, Zatanna enters with two Ice cream cones. She is surprised to see him not as Batman. She attempts to say something but is cut off by him. He exits the room.

"What's wrong with him, he sure is in a bad mood?" She asks.

"I think he's probably just tired, I think it's time we all turn in. We have a lot to do tomorrow. The three of you can split yourselves up, and sleep in a room with either Batman or Naruto." Liu tells.

He exits the room as well, with Kung Lao following him.

"I guess the two of you can share the room with Naruto, I'll kick it with bats." Leo suggests.

"Thanks but no thanks; I want to share a room with him. I have a few questions to ask that guy any way." Spiderman replies.

"If that's what you want, than I'm fine with it. Why don't we all head upstairs. So are Jax, Johnny, and Sonya still here?" Leo asks.

"They actually left a few hours ago." Naruto tells.

Zatanna hands one of the cones to Naruto, while she begins licking on the other. They follow Leonardo as he exits the room. The leaf village ninja leads them up to his room unlocking the door. Spiderman walks across the hall knocking on a door. Bruce slightly opens it.

"What is it you want?!"

Spidy can hear the agitation in his tone.

"Believe it or not, I'm now your official room mate!" He says cheerfully.

"Are you serious? I don't know how that is going to work out; there is just one minor problem."

"Let me have it, whatever it is I'm sure we can work it out."

Zatanna walks behind Spidy with a smirk on her face, pulling off his mask!

"Problem solved, he is Peter Parker you can let him in now. Sleep well you two." She says walking back across the room, into Naruto's room.

"Come on in Peter." Bruce says, fully opening the door.

Spidy walks in with a frown on his face.

"There is no need to pout; she just made the situation easier. If I wanted to, I could have figured out who you were on my own. I'll let you have the bed; I don't mind sleeping on the ground."

Bruce throws Spidy some shorts to sleep in; similar to the one's he wears. He throws a couple of blankets onto the ground creating a comforter, and lays his head down over a pillow. Peter gets un dressed turning off the lights and getting into the bed. He stares up at the wall for a bit, feeling restless.

"Hey Bruce, do you think you could tell me the story of how you became Batman? What motivated you to do such a thing, I had no idea a rich boy like you would fight crime? I'm not tired at all."

All Peter gets from him is a grunt.

"Take my advice Parker, look up at the ceiling and count as many bats as you can. That will make you tired." Bruce finally replies.

Peter laughs at his some what lame joke. Not another word is said as the two of them fall asleep eventually. Time passes through the night.

Something startles Peter, which awakens him. He can feel the breath of someone up against his lips. His first thought is Bruce!!

"What the heck are you doi…"

A finger is placed on his lips to keep him quite.

"It's ok Peter it's just me."

As his eyes get use to the darkness, he can see that it is Zatanna. He sits up a bit, looking her up and down. She wears a long white tea shirt.

"What are you doing in here Zee?" He asks whispering.

Her leg crosses over as she rubs her foot against one of his legs. His heart rate speeds up!!

"I can't stop thinking about the kiss we had earlier, there is something about you that I like."

"I like you a lot to Zee, but we hardly even know each other. I think it's best that we just stay friends for now."

"You're not rejecting me are you; I can make all your dreams come true."

She now rubs her hand up against his chest. Peter backs up from her a bit.

"I thought Bruce locked the door, how did you get in here?"

"Duh I used my magic."

"Look Zee, even if we were going to do anything Bruce would wake up. Come on now, he is Batman."

"That is where you are wrong."

With the snap of a finger, head phones appear on Bruce's ears with a force field around it.

"He won't be able to hear a thing through those. What's wrong Pete do I not turn you on?"

Zatanna moves over sitting on top of him and removing her shirt, to reveal her bra. She leans on him, pushing his back onto the bed.

"Just tell me if you want me, I can make this a night to remember!"

"I'm sorry Zee, but I just can't. I guess I failed to mention there is another woman in my life. I would have told you earlier, but I didn't think things would go this far."

Zatanna gets off of him putting her shirt back on, and getting rid of the head phones. She looks over at him.

"I'm so sorry about this Peter, please forgive me. Let's pretend this never happened. Good night."

She gets out of the bed stepping over Bruce and opening the door, closing it behind her. Peter lays down thinking before falling asleep again.

Nine Tailed Mutant Legend

CHP 11: Wanted revenge






Three characters walk through a forest, equipped with numerous resources. The wind blows steadily as they advance further in. One out of the three holds a map open, following a certain conduit.

"So how does your boss figure their foundation is precisely at this point?"

"He is not 100% sure Raphael, but we need to check this place. Say this isn't what we are looking for, Maybe we will find it in the process." Subzero tells.

Raph nods as a form of response, looking back down on the map Tokie holds. Both Raphael and Tokie are kicked to the ground by Subzero, who jumps out of the way. Arrows and shurikens come storming in to the area! Both Raph and Tokie kick off of each other, sending the other airborne going opposite directions. This makes it so they aren't pierced by the blades. Both are speedily on their feet, looking up to see many ninjas jumping out of the surrounding trees. Raphael's teeth grind together, realizing the ambush.

"Well if it isn't Subzero and his Comrades, the three of you are in un charted province and should leave!"

Subzero looks up to see a familiar smiling man!

"Azun, you had some nerve coming to the Lin Kuei a while back and disturbing the peace! You just made our job easier; we were actually looking for your base and or bases." Subzero says.

Azun smiles as he jumps down from a tree, landing in front of them. His ninjas do not attack, seemingly waiting for orders to be given to them.

"I could just have my group of assassins here finish the three of you off, but there would be no fun in that. The three of you will have the chance of battling against demon squad!"

Azun pulls out a diamond looking object, chanting a long phrase causing it to glow and produce a ringing sound. Large amounts of energy build as three different colors of flames come out of the strange diamond. The flames after some time form into three women! Raphael's eyes widen as he steps back.

"What the shell is this! Is this some sort of deception?"

"There is no deception turtle freak, what you see hear is no allusion. Don't be alarmed by their beauty, they are deadly warriors. I will begin by telling you a little bit about them, not that it will help your chances of defeating them."

Azun takes a deep breath before beginning. Subzero takes this opportunity to step forward next to his two allies.

"First their names are Kayla, Mia, and Quila who were all raised by their parents in a village back on my home planet. By the orders of our planets leader, that village was to be burnt to the ground. That is exactly what happened, except for seven survivors. The three of them were in the group of these survivors."

Azun is cut off hearing the grunt of Raph; he turns to the turtle smiling.

"What kind of people are you? Your master should be over thrown; I'm surprised he hasn't been assassinated yet."

"I appreciate your pitiable opinion and possibility, but he is surrounded by his many followers. As I was saying they were three of the survivors, at the ages of seven, three, and six they were easily brainwashed as you would say. The three of them were taken to one of our kingdoms most skilled training camps, and taught the most intricate material arts. That was fifteen years ago, these three ladies have become irreconcilable fighters!"

"I don't care who they are, or the training they went through! They will not defeat the three of us." Subzero tells, putting a fist in the air.

Quila licks her orifice crossing her arms. Kayla is the youngest of them, with pink hair and green eyes. Mia is the second to oldest, with light blue hair and golden eyes. Quila is the oldest of them, with orange hair and ocean blue eyes.

"I wouldn't be so sure honey; you men always think everything is so easy when it comes to us women." Quila says.

Subzero attempts to say something, but stops within mid sentence.

"Alright gentle men; this is how the whole thing is going to work. I'm going to split the three of you up throughout this forest, and you will each fight one on one against the demon squad members."

Having an adequate amount of the cir****tances, Subzero runs forward in an attempt to strike Azun, but is zapped along with Tokie and Raphael.

Subzero lies on the wet grass, getting up slowly looking optimistic at the full moon. Everything seems to be silent, except the sound of the wind blowing the leaves around. He looks up in time to see Quila coming down on him, grabbing her by the shoulder he throws her into a nearby tree. The woman laughs as she gets up.

"It humors me how you strive so hard, and just to contemplate it, will be all for nothing!" Quila says.

"I can clearly see that you are a very talkative individual, let us see if you can back your terminology up." Subzero replies.

She pulls out two hand grenades throwing them his direction; these projectiles are frozen solid before even reaching him. Quila bends down, pulling two knives out of her boots. She runs at Subzero, as the skirmish begins. She knees Subzero in his private area, as a reaction his eyes amplify. He punches her across the countenance, falling back a bit it leaves a little more interval between the two of them.

"Oh please hit me like that again, I just like the feel of it." She says seductively.

Subzero now shows a face of huge misunderstanding! He performs his ice slide which knocks her even further back. This time she ends up on the ground. Quila gets up quickly, hoping onto Subzero she jumps off his shoulders into the tree tops.

"Come on sweetie; let's see if you can catch me." Quila tells, daring him to follow.

Subzero shakes his head while mumbling beneath his breath. He grabs onto a vine making his approach into the tree. The sounds of her laughter can be heard, not knowing her exact position he continues going up. Subzero finally spots her humming the tune of a song, sitting cross legged.

"Are you going to come out of that spot, or am I going to be left with using brutal force?"

She looks up at him with a smirk on her face.

"That is totally up to you lover. I would prefer you pull me out with your big strong arms."

Now Subzero closes his eyes while shaking his head. He decides not to reply to her comment. Quila notices that he is not fully on guard, so she takes the chance to stab a knife into his left shoulder. Only after jumping up!

Subzero yells out in agony, pulling the blade out dropping it down. The two of them begin fighting; throwing punches and kicks onto each other. Some of which that are blocked. Jumping from tree top to tree top, the two of them continue their battle.

Raphael holds both Sai's in hand, being very vigilant of his surroundings. Raphael's eyes narrow as his adversary steps from behind a tree in front of him.

"So which one of them are you?"

"I'm Kayla green man, but don't let my name full you. I'm nothing like a kind person; your wretched existence will be over before long." Kayla tells.

The two of them step forward, running at each other. Kayla carries with her a golden staff. She whacks Raph across the facade as he falls to the dirt. He doesn't get up entirely, just sitting up to observe her. He looks into her dark green eyes, and then at her short pink hair following her sexy body!

"Why are you doing this?" Raph asks.

She looks down at him, not sure what exactly his question is regarding.

"Pardon, but are you asking me why I am trying to eradicate you? Shouldn't that be comprehensible to you already?"

The turtle gets entirely off of the ground standing tall. He puts his weapons to his side, indicating to her that he does not desire to combat.

"No, that is not what I'm talking about; I would like to know why you are fighting for a man like Azun? You heard him yourself, his leader burned down your village! You were probably too young to even reminisce." Raph tells.

She pauses for a few moments in relation to his words.

"That is none of your anxiety, besides I don't have a say in the matter. Women and children back where I come from do not query that of our leaders. That is the job of the men!"

She swings her staff at him again, but he is quick to block it with a Sai. He uses this opportunity to kick her back. He performs a flying kick, which sends her departing the opposite direction into a c****er of flowers. She puts her hand within her bra, pulling out a gun and shooting at Raphael. He ducks for cover behind an adjoining tree. Staying close to the ground, he creeps around dozens of bushes trying to get closer to her without being seen. He finally jumps up throwing a Sai which knocks the weapon out of her hand. She turns to him as he steps out of a bush.

[raphaeltmnt]

"We don't have to do this Kayla; there is absolutely no meaning to this fight. We would be killing each other for no reason, don't you understand? Just think about it, if it weren't for them you would still have your family."

"Klenk is the one responsible for the destruction of my village! I don't know what you are trying to accomplish with your soft words." Kayla replies.

"What part of that do you not understand, Azun along with his fighters work for that man! You don't have to; it's your choice if you want freedom and independence.

Kayla steps forward ready to attack, but freezes in place with so many thoughts and emotions going through her head. She stands in place thinking for a few seconds. Something that she had not experienced in forever occurs, she finds herself with tears in her eyes. Raphael walks toward her.

"Stay the hell back!" She demands.

He watches in place as tears fall from her eyes, and down onto her cheeks.

"Don't you understand now just how wrong this is, they used you Kayla. It's not too late for you to turn things around."

In a burst of anger, she charges Raphael knocking him onto the ground he lands on the back of his shell. She runs off into the darkness in tears. Raph gets up walking over to retrieve his other Sai. Looking up at the moon light, he feels ghastly for Kayla.

"I hope she makes it ok." Raph finally says to himself.

Tokie begins to feel a bit of frustration, not being able to locate any of the Demon squad members. This is short lived as he notices a hissing sound coming from his back side. He turns around to see Mia leaning up against a tree. She sticks her tongue out at him, this surprises him. Her tongue resembles that similar of a snake!

"I think it's time that you and I get this show started." Mia tells.

Both she and Tokie draw out swords and begin. Subzero continues to fight with Quila in the tree tops, the two of them move rapidly. The sound of Kayla's tears catch both their attention. Quila punches Subzero to the side.

"Why is that little ***** crying, hopefully she didn't do anything imprudent!"

Quila leaves Subzero, who watches her retreat after Kayla.

"Wow so that's it, she's just going to leave just like that." Subzero says to himself.

Tokie's sword is sliced in half, as Mia throws her blade to the side. She puts her fist up, punching him across the face. Tokie jumps back, as she blows fire from her mouth! She leaps into the air, kicking the Lin Kuei fighter onto the ground. She walks over slowly getting on top of him. She takes off the makes which covers his face.

"Oh my you sure are a cute one, tell me what is it like to stare the person in the eyes who kills you seconds before?"

"You tell me, you're the one who is going to die?" Tokie replies.

She places her hands on his chest as she laughs aloud.

"Let me ask you; are you good at sucking face?" Mia asks.

"What?"

She brings her face down to his, pressing her lips up against his! His mouth opens trying to say something, but she uses this opportunity as her tongue enters. She holds him down as she kisses him roughly! Venom from inside her mouth is inserted into his. She stops after a few seconds, sitting up on his dead body. She licks her lips with a smile on her face.

"To bad I had to kill this one, he had a good taste."

She gets up off of him, and retreats into the darkness. Moments later, Raphael and Subzero enter the area. Coming from different parts of the forest, the two of them look down at his dead body. His lips have increased great size, covered in venom. Raph shakes his head at the sight of this.

"I'm sorry to say Subzero, but your boy Tokie got jacked up!"

Subzero bends down, putting the mask back on the face of his fallen colleague.

"Quila was not the one who did this, so which of them was it that you fought against?" Subzero asks.

"We didn't actually fight; I tried to explain to Kayla that this whole thing was unnecessary. She went off in tears, but I can tell she has a lot of good in her heart. Maybe if I see her again, just Maybe I can possibly show her a path."

Subzero picks up a rock, crushing it in his hand.

"That leaves only Mia! She will pay for this, but our main focus is to be on the invaders for now. Obviously Azun is one of their leaders, but he is not the king of their world. We must be on the right path, or we wouldn't have encountered Azun and his assemblage."

Subzero digs into Tokie's provisions, pulling out another map and standing.

"Come Raphael son, we must continue our mission. We will set up camp after about another mile." Subzero tells.

Both ninjas continue their journey through the gloominess. A great deal of time passes as the demon squad members arrive at Azun's temporary castle.

"I'm glad to see that you all made it back in one piece, so did you exterminate Subzero and his cohorts?"

Kayla steps forward with her head downward.

"I'm sorry Azun but it is my fault that Subzero and the turtle creature still live. I promise that if you give us another chance we will finish them off."

Azun steps forward, slapping Kayla across the face as she falls to the ground. Mia giggles at the side, trying to keep herself from laughing. Azun kicks her in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her. He then picks her up by her hair, spitting in her face he punches her back onto the ground.

"That is enough; she said it wouldn't happen again!" Quila yells stepping forward.

[raphaeltmnt]

"You know I don't tolerate failure Kayla, don't you dare let this happen again! Get your pitiful *** up and go get cleaned up! I don't want you in my presence!" Azun demands ignoring Quila.

Quila helps Kayla to her feet, as the fighter leaves the room on her own.

"Now that she is gone, I want the two of you up in my bedroom ASAP. I'm feeling in the mood, and want the two of you to satisfy my needs, am I understood?"

Mia walks over to his side, rubbing up against him.

"Don't worry darling, it will be our pleasure. Just give us ten minutes, so that we can slip into something more comfortable.

Mia walks over next to Quila wrapping her arm around hers; both women wink at Azun as they exit the room. He smiles while heading up the stairs to his room. Within the shower, Kayla thinks hard about what the mutant fighter had said to her earlier. Come to think of it, she didn't even get his name! Time passes while Azun waits under the sheets entirely nude. Quila is the first to enter wearing only a small tea shirt that reveals her belly and everything below! She makes her way over into the bead and under the sheets. While smiling she spreads her legs apart, as Azun gets on top of her. The two of them begin kissing passionately.

Within the forest, Raphael and Subzero have stopped for the night and sit over a fire at their camp site. The turtle throws a few more logs into it, to get larger conflagration. Both warriors sit back in stillness for a bit.

"Azun is nothing but a pretty boy, who steals the abilities of fighters and uses it as his own. I can assure you, I'm going to enjoy pulling his heart out of his chest!" Subzero breaks the silence.

Raphael's eyes widen a bit at the Lin Kuei fighter's viciousness.

"I don't know about the whole pulling out heart stuff, but he will be stopped."

Raph opens up his sleeping bag while staring into the flames of the fire. So many things go through his mind, this instant. The two of them eventually fall sound asleep, snoozing over the fire.

Shalion Temple

A few hours have passed, with the sun escalating in excess of the colossal mountains. Its dim light is enough to awaken Bruce, A.K.A. the dark knight. Doing his best not to wake Peter, he gets up slowly moving around unhurriedly. He swiftly exits the room, making his way down the many stairs to the training room. He recovers his bat suit from there, and suits up. As he puts on his utility belt, someone approaches him from behind. He turns approximately to see Kung Lao.

"What is it you are doing up so early? You should still be asleep, getting your rest." Batman asks.

"Liu and I spoke with each other after you turned in, and decided that I should travel along with you and Leo. Just incase the invaders are the one's who hold his brothers." Kung Lao tells.

Batman crosses his arms while looking up at nothing in particular.

"I guess that will be fine, let us try and find them quick so that we can focus on the real quandary."

Just than, the entrance door to the training room opens. A shalion monk enters, walking over to the two of them.

"Good morning Kung Lao and outsider. Are there any weapons I can get for you before your departure Kung Lao?"

"No thanks Isazkie, I'm already taken care of. However, you can inform the workers in the cafeteria to have breakfast ready for our guest as well as Liu when they awake." Kung Lao replies.

"No dilemma, it's done."

Isazkie exits the room subsequently.

"You can meet me in the front of the temple, I'll go wake Leonardo and we'll meet you there." Batman tells.

Both men exit the room, going there separate ways. Batman walks up the many stairs, making his way over to the room across from his. He just walks straight in, as the door is unlocked. Looking in the bed, he can see Naruto sleeping on one side and Zatanna on the other. Leo sleeps on the ground with a c****er of covers. Batman taps him twice, before he awakes. He sits up stretching and yawning.

"Well, I guess this means it is time to go. Hopefully we are successful in finding them." Leo says.

The turtle gets up stretching and heading over to grab his weapons. When he turns back around, he catches Batman staring down on Zatanna.

"Do you have a thing for her?" Leo asks whispering.

Batman turns to him grinning.

"Certainly not, let's get going we have a lot of ground to cover."

Leo follows the dark knight out of the room, as the two of them go down the many steps. The two of them exit the premises, meeting up with Kung Lao in the front. The three of them exit the front gates together. Leonardo and Kung Lao carry bags, filled with useful equipment and maps.

"I need you to give me the replicate device, of what your brothers have as well." Batman tells.

Leo hands his cell shell over to Batman, who connects it to another device out of his utility belt. It takes over a minute, but they do get a location. Kung Lao takes a good look at it, having an idea on where they might be.

"I'm not positive, but based from our stand point and that one I would say your brothers are in Tarkaden territory! They are a very brutal unit of warriors, and we must be careful if that is who holds them."

"It shouldn't be a problem if we stick to stealth, judging by the distance we will get there by night fall unless we find some sort of transportation." Batman acknowledges.

Miles away within a Castle, Azun sleeps soundly. A knock can be heard from his front door, which awakes him. He grunts, a bit angered that his sleep was disturbed.

"Who is it?" He asked frantic.

"It's me Micly; I have some info for you. But it's not tremendously significant, so it can wait for later if you'd like."

"Get lost." Azun replies.

Both Mia and Quila lay asleep, completely nude on both sides of Azun's chest. A few hours pass by, with Kung Lao, Batman, and Leo taking a break in front of a lake. They look up at the water fall, and the clear beautiful colored water.

"The two of you can sit back and watch as I get us breakfast. I don't think the two of you ever knew back at the temple my nick name is fish man! That is because I am grand at catching fish." Kung Lao tells.

Leonardo shakes his head, not believing the shalion fighter. Kung Lao opens up his bag, getting out some bate and fishing net. Kung Lao throws his bate into the lake, sitting back with Leo and Batman on a large rock waiting.

Shalion temple

Naruto wakes up, looking over to his back side to see that Zatanna is gone. The leaf village ninja sits up looking down on the ground to see folded up blankets. Leonardo had left as well. Naruto gets dressed, making up the bed and heading down to the main room afterward. When entering the kitchen, sitting at one table is Liu, Peter, and Zatanna.

"Good morning everyone, what happened to the others?"

"Maybe you forgot, but they went on a mission earlier this morning. We probably won't see them for another two days possibly." Liu tells.

Zatanna and peter catch glimpses, but she turns away from him instantly.

"Come on and sit down Naruto, they will have your breakfast on the table for you in just a few minute." Liu tells.

Naruto takes a seat next to Liu, as the two of them talk, Zee and Peter are silent.
