The three master couldn't believe it. To say they were shocked would have been an understatement. They were absolutely flabbergasted. Crane's beak was wide open, making a slight creak in the process. Monkey's eyes were wide and also had his mouth open. Mantis was frozen for a few moments...then fainted.

"Uh...guys?"Viper asked, but got no response. She tilted her head to the side a bit in confusion."Did I say something wrong?"She was starting to get worried.

"How?"She looked at Mantis. He was slowly getting to, but didn't move from where he was on the ground."How...do you not know? Out of everyone. Po I would understand...but you? Your kidding right?"

She felt a little uneasy, but shook her head.

"Uh, Viper."Monkey finally managed to say."Maybe it's best if you head back to the palace..."

"What! Why?"

Crane, after adjusting his beak, decided to respond for his simian friend."Viper we...we thought you knew what...we would have never brought you along if we knew..."

"Yeah, now it's more dangerous for you then ever."Mantis said.

"I thought you said you knew the consequences of this mission?"Monkey asked.

"I do. Isn't it like all the other missions we've had? They all have consequences."

They stared at her. "This is not like the other missions Viper."Crane said.

"And the consequences are much more risky...especially for you."

Viper looked at Monkey."What do you mean, especially for me?"

"Your a girl Viper."Mantis said. After receiving a look from her, he decided to be more specific."The guys we're after are...really dangerous and your more likely to get...hurt."

She hissed threateningly at him. Mantis just realized he inadvertently called her weak. He corrected himself, before she had a chance to whack him with her tail."No! No, I didn't mean it like that! Help me out here guys!"

Monkey got in front of Mantis and tried to set things straight."What Mantis is trying to say is..."He didn't know how to continue.'How did we get in to this situation? Oh yeah, Mantis just had to talk about what those men are probably doing to those captives!'He thought and sighed.'I guess it's better now...It would've been worse later on.'

"We don't want you to have a sexual intercourse against your will Viper."

Silence...

"...Really?"Crane looked at Mantis."A sexual intercourse against your will? You couldn't have just said-"

"This is already awkward enough as it is Manti-."

"Sex."

Crane and Mantis looked at Monkey with wide eyes."We don't want you to have sex against your own will, which is also known as rape. Mantis mentioned it because it's a crime that we have to try and stop from happening. That's what our mission is."

He looked at her, hoping she understood. She looked like she did, but still a little confused.

"So...if rape is having sex against your will then..."

'Oh no.'They all thought.

"Whats sex?"She asked curiously.

"Uh..."Monkey tried to answer, but failed.

"Is it a crime?"She got closer to them.

"N-not really. Only if it's against your-"Crane was cut off by Mantis.

"If we don't leave now, not only am I going to go insane if we keep talking about this, but there is going to be a lot of women in real trouble you guys!"

"Mantis is right."Crane said quickly, wanting this conversation to end.

"Yeah lets go."Monkey said almost desperately.

As the three continued on their path, Viper still had many unanswered questions."Wait! You guys didn't-"

"We'll talk about it later Viper."

"We will?"Monkey and Mantis said in unison.

"She has to know."

"Why not now?"Viper asked, steadily catching up with them.

"It'll take too long Vi-."Crane was interrupted once again.

"Then can you show me?"

The three froze in their tracks, and fainted. Blood slowly dripping from their noses.
