More Training?! Part I
En route to LAX
Jerry is traveling to pick up his mother from the airport having left the ceremony promoting the spies.
BUZZ BUZZ
An in-dash communicator began to ring. Jerry reached over and activated the console.
"So Jerry, I hear that there are three new super spies," a shadowed figure said.
"Yes, I hope that you are ready for their arrival," Jerry replied.
"Our plans are ready for them; I only hope they are ready."
Jerry chuckled a little bit. "Is anyone ever ready for your training."
The stranger only chuckled.
"They shall be sent tomorrow," Jerry said turning off the console and coming to a stop at the airport parking lot while preparing to face his mother.
Unknown location
The same person Jerry spoke with began to address another person in the same room.
"I hope everything is ready for tomorrow."
"Yes, I have reviewed their reports and have prepared training regiments for each of them.," another voice said.
"They shall be here tomorrow, dismissed."
The Spies Villa 0900:
The spies were still asleep after the party, but they were in for a very rude awakening courtesy WOOPH. The area at the floor of each of their beds opened and the beds began to tilt upward until each of them were sliding into the transport tubes effectively waking them.
"Jerry had better have a good reason for waking us up!" screamed Clover while sliding into WOOPH HQ.
The spies landed on a padded floor and angrily looked up at a calm Jerry who simply stated "Hello, spies."
"Okay Jerry give us your best reason for bring us here and it had better be good," Alex stated.
"Yea, we were trying to get some well deserved beauty sleep," Clover said trying to arrange her hair.
"After all we went through you think that we would get some time off," Sam commented.
"Well I'm afraid that you're training is not quite complete for the time being," Jerry stated.
"WHAT!?" the three spies yelled now looking both angry and surprised.
"There is one more requirement for super spy status to be fully instated," The spies were getting ready to speak when, "and before you ask that requirement is more training under a Japanese group of martial artists. They have been training new super spies ever since WOOPH has been established."
"Why exactly do we have to begin training today?" Clover asked.
"Ya, couldn't we begin training later," Alex asked, "like maybe in two weeks; no there's a sale on then maybe two months."
"Sorry ladies, but the plans are already set, a plane shall take you to Tokyo and you must find the Manji Martial Arts Dojo," Jerry said throwing the girls a packet, "From there you shall train until you can pass their exam. I will contact you when you arrive at the dojo. Farewell for now ladies." With that Jerry did his usual wave and dropped the spies to their waiting plane.
Tokyo 0230:
The spies were walking along Tokyo streets trying to find the dojo. The spies had changed into more comfortable clothes; Sam into khaki capri pants, a white short-sleeved tee and high-heels, Clover into a skirt, button-up shirt and leather high-heel boots, and Alex into a short-sleeved tee, shorts and high-heels.
"I can't believe that no one knows where this place is," Alex said.
"I know its like no ones even heard of the place before, and I thought that Japan was like a the biggest place for martial arts movies," Clover commented.
"Actually a lot of martial arts movies are from China and Hong-Kong, but maybe we aren't looking in the right place," Sam stated.
"Well I need to rest for a while," Clover said. She spotted a small tea restaurant, and said "How about we stop for a cup of tea? Japan has like some of the best green tea in the world."
The spies were soon sitting down and waiting for their tea while wondering what to do about finding the dojo when their server came to their table.
"Ah. Welcome what can I get for you?" the waiter asked.
"Three cups of green tea, douzo." Sam said.
"Very well," the waiter said.
The waiter soon returned with their tea, " Here you are ladies."
"Arigato," the spies replied.
"Excuse me," Clover said, "but do you know were the Manji Martial Arts Dojo is? We aren't having any luck finding it."
"Why are you looking for that dojo?"
"We were hoping to get some training in, uh, self-defense there we heard it is one of the best around," Alex began.
The waiter pondered the spies for a few seconds and finally stated, "I shall get you a map to the dojo, but I must warn you they are very strict and secretive they do not let just anyone in. But I think that you will be able to join."
The spies soon received the map and began the trek to the dojo.
After a short time the spies were at the location given to them on the map, but they only saw a small clearing in the forest. "Okay according to the map the dojo should be here but," Sam said looking around a clearing near Mt. Fuji.
"Where is that dojo? I thought we followed that map to the letter," Clover exclaimed.
"Maybe we took a wrong turn, or maybe the maps wrong," Alex commented.
"No, we followed it correctly, but the map might be wrong," Sam replied.
Unbeknown to the spies someone had been watching them ever since they entered the forest, and that he was about to show himself.
"Did you guys hear that?" Alex asked, taking up a defensive stance.
"Yea, someone's here," Sam said both her and Clover taking a similar stance.
The man suddenly appeared in the middle of the of the circle the spies had made.
"Why are you here?" the man said surprising the spies causing them to turn around and face him.
The person was is a loose fitting scarlet uniform with chain-mail underneath the uniform, the rest of his clothes were of a similar color and consisting of fingerless gloves, tabi, sandals, a partial mask covering his mouth, and a headband with three kanji displayed on a small plate of metal near the center of the band..
"Who are you?" Sam asked.
"I asked first, why are you here?" the man said.
"We were sent here to train from WOOPH," Clover stated nervously. "Are you who we're supposed to meet?"
"Yes, but in order to join you need to hold your own against me," the stranger said.
