Teenage Mutant Kung Fu Turtles M1 Ch8

Chapter 8:
A little man with a big threat

"Dragon Warrior.  Dragon Warrior."  The people cheered as the four carried their carriers up the stairs with relative ease.  Once their field leader kicked the front doors open he and the other four carried the creatures the rest of the way in.

"Thanks for the work out guys.  Think you guys can take this with you."  The blue masked one said after all of the geese stepped off.  The feathered friends did not say anything they all just picked up the carrier and ran off.

"Hey!  Hey wait!  I want to ---."  Michelangelo shouted when he saw them leave and tried to stop him, but Donatello and Raphael slammed the doors on his face.  "OW!  That hurt, but I still want to ride on that.  Come on bros. open the doors, please."  The orange clad one whimpered to the duo who only shook their heads.

"Mikey, where do you think we were heading when we dropped them off?"  The purple clad on questioned his brother since he knew the youngest thought of these five as the Justice Force and those guys had a base of their own.

"The Sacred Hall of Warriors, where else?"  The brother said and questioned before he realized his own comment and decided to look around and saw that the hall that they were in had the gear he always wanted to see.  "Look at this place."  The naïve brother said to the others as they started to walk away from the big wooden doors.

"Master Flying Rhino's armor."  Donnie said as he looked at the craftsmanship at the armor until a voice shouted something else right in his ear.

"With authentic battle damage!"  Mikey shouted that out of excitement before getting backhanded by the brainiac.  As he rubbed his aching noggin the turtle saw that the oldest was looking at another good piece of metal.

The Sword of Heroes, said to be so sharp you can cut yourself just by looking at it."  Leo said aloud not knowing that the other three were behind him as he said that.  The eldest of the four did not know if that was a bluff or fact since after his time with the Tribunal he never ruled out the impossible nor did the big fan because of his statement.

"OW!"  Mikey shouted as he felt something cut his finger in a paper cut thin, but it still hurt.  To try to ignore the cut the young teen looked around and saw something else that he liked.

"The invisible Trident of Destiny!"  The jokester shouted at an empty container.  Donatello wanted to know just how his brother saw something that was invisible.  Despite the training they got from their masters he often had a bad style of using traditional logic for various questions.
"Mikey, if its invisible how do you know that it's there?"  The purple turtle questioned, but got no reply.  "Michelangelo, hello?"  He questioned while waving an arm before his brother, but still got no answer.  He then grabbed his staff, ready to wake his bro up until he saw something that he had seen in the valley.

"I've only seen copies of this painting."  The book smart turtle said as he walked over to a bull hero painting.  The group soon began looking at certain things even though that Raph found a different display the most interesting - twin swords hanging over a chest containing four shuriken throwing stars and a ring weapon.

'Normally I'd insult the ring, but since we've soon the gear and the damage the four can do I don't feel like saying anything.'  The angered one thought while also remembering the one time his brother used stars was against the Mokusei-no-Bushis along with the explosive kind that his inter-dimensional brothers had.  "Kinda wish I had one a those right now."  Raphael muttered as he heard his brother jump around all excited like while gawking at the other stuff.

"No Way!"  The youngest of the four mouthed before rushing over to a fancy vase at the end of the hall.  "The Legendary Urn of Whispering Warriors.  Said to contain the souls of the entire Tenshu Army."  The fan-boy said as he got up right at it.  The other three stopped what they were looking at and saw that the klutz was near a different piece of priceless artwork.

"Maybe he won't break it.  I mean he was able to keep his trophy safe for a while."  The leader said to the other two as they were heading over.

"Yeah, even though I told him that I knew exactly where he should shove it."  The ticked turtle said to the older.  They all knew that Raphael hated hearing about his win the most.

"Hello."  The fourth said at the urn.

"Have you finished sight-seeing?"  A voice said which made the gullible one believe that it was the urn itself.

"Sorry, I should have come to see you first."  The humanoid said in an apologetic tone as he took a couple of steps back.  He was so sorry that he failed to notice his bros coming to him or their smirking faces.

"My patience is wearing thin."  The voice said to the four.  The one that was staring at the container seemed a little confused by the sentence.

"Well, I mean, it's not like you were going anywhere."  Mikey said to the spirit container; still not seeing his brother or their faces.

"Would you turn around?"  The voice said in a slightly irritated tone.

"Sure."  The fourth of four said with a shrug and turned to a indoor pond where he saw a red panda glaring at him.  "How's it going?"  The turtle questioned before looking back at the relic before him.  "How do you get 5,000...Master Shifu!"  The young teen questioned and then shouted once he realized who he just spoke to.  When he turned to apologize for ignoring the Kung Fu master his shell tapped the pedestal hard enough to cause the urn to fall.

"Busted!"  Raphael said aloud with a big grin on his face as he watched the terror stricken brother and the ticked off teacher.

"Uh…I didn't do it.  It was Raph, he broke it."  The comedian said aloud before getting slapped in the back of the head which caused him to add, "OW!"  The older brother decided to add to his earlier warning.

"Can it, Mikey."  He said in a low voice before pointing over to the master.

"I---I mean I'm gonna fix this."  The nunchuck handler said before going onto his hands and knees.  "Do you have some…glue?"  He questioned while putting the pieces in a big pile while trying to not listen to the ghostly wails as he did it, but as he did not listen to them he also did not notice the pedestal land on his hand.  "Ow, what is it with people hurting my head?"  He questioned after the attack.  The other three looked at Shifu to see what he had to say about them being here.

"So you four are the Dragon Warrior, hmm?"  He questioned the group.  After hearing the question Michelangelo stood up beside his brothers.

"Well, I guess we are."  Leonardo said to the long tailed man.

"Wrong!"  The older man said to them in an angered tone which caused the orange one to flinch, and the red one to smirk coldly.  "You are not the Dragon Warrior.  You will never be the Dragon Warrior until…you have learned the secret of the Dragon Scroll."  He belittled and instructed to the four, hoping to throw them off this task early so one of the others can be the REAL Dragon Warrior.

"So, you gonna tell us how we gettin that scroll?"  Raphael questioned while reaching for one of his Sais before hearing the youngest add to his comment.

"Do we use a ladder, Ooh or maybe a trampoline - those are cool.  Or maybe we should use the best trick…"  The speed Acolyte started to speak, but was interrupted before he could finish.

"You think it's that easy?"  Shifu questioned after a soft chuckle before adding, "That I'll just hand you four the secret to limitless power!"  The comment caused the slacker to open his mouth when he needed to keep it shut.

"No, I…"  The orange humanoid started to say not hearing the blue humanoid whisper.

"Just stop talking."  But he and the other three heard did hear their soon to be latest sensei.

"One must first master the highest level of kung fu.  And that is clearly impossible if that one someone like you."  He said and began to look around the four of them to get a better look at them.

"Someone like me?"  The big mouth questioned as he watched the short animal walk around his brothers and himself.  Donatello and Leonardo stood at attention, and the red furred one saw nothing wrong with them.  Raphael just sneered at the teacher since he was getting bored; this, in a way, reminded him of one of his first students.  Then he came to the fourth one.

"You brothers seem good, but there is only one thing that is wrong with you."  Shifu said as he looked up at the orange turtle.  "You're utter disregard to personal hygiene."  He explained to the confused teen.

"Hey, now that's a little uncalled for Shifu."  Mikey said while trying to convince the man that he did have good cleanliness habits.

"Don't stand so close I can smell you're breath."  The panda class creature said while gesturing the new guy to do as he asked.

"Listen, the older fellow turtle said that I…"  Michelangelo started to speak with and extended index finger, but that was when Shifu took said finger with two of his.  "The Wuxi Finger Hold.  Not the Wuxi Finger Hold!"  The brother begged to the experienced fighter.

"Oh, you know this hold?"  Shifu questioned to the klutz of the four while seeming a bit interested about that.

"Developed by Master Wuxi in the Third Dynasty.  Yes, we do."  Leonardo answered for his brother who seemed a little terrified since he knew the end result.

"Then you four should know what happens when I flex my pinky."  The teacher questioned with his other fingers still having a firm grip on the turtle's one finger.

"No, No!"  Mikey said in a groveling tone while gesturing with his free hand that he did not want the mammal to do what he was wanting to do.

"You know the hardest part of this?"  Shifu questioned in a threatening way to the victim.

"Uh-uh."  The turtle said while shaking his head in a horizontal fashion while not losing sight of his outstretched finger.

"The hardest part is cleaning up afterwards."  The elder said to the teen, vaguely explaining to the youth what the end result is.

"Okay, just take it easy, Shifu."  Mikey said in a nearly petrified tone.

"Now closely turtles, all of you, Oogway may have picked you four, but when I'm through with all of you, I promise you, you all are going to wish that he hadn't!  Are we clear?"  He shouted at them and the questioned calmly to them.

"Yeah.  We're clear.  We are so clear."  Michelangelo said still worried that he was going to feel the effects of the Wuxi Finger Hold.

"Good, I can't wait to get started."  Shifu said in evil pleasure until the red one spoke.

"If you're through making Mikey wet himself let's get started before I get too bored."  Raphael said in an angered tone before walking off causing Shifu to get a little angrier than he already was.
