Queen of the Dragons
Chapter I: It Starts

By: Michelle



Mei Pieh Chi rushed to her father's side as she saw him get knocked down from a blast. It came from the mirror. Just an hour earlier, her father was telling her about the mirror before her.

The mirror was powerful; basically, it was no ordinary looking glass. This mirror was enchanted. Inside, it held evil dragons that once tried to destroy all human life on earth.

She, herself, was not a human. In fact, she was a turtle. She was a 17 year old, 5'2", shaman turtle. Well, she wasn't a shaman yet, but she planned to become one someday.

But now, she felt like she was nothing. Here she was, kneeing next to her father, a human named Chung I. He had always protected her from the world of humans, but she could not protect him from the world of dragons. Now, here he was dying before her eyes and she could do nothing.

The Dragon Lord kept looking at Mei Pieh. He knew she was not a human or a shaman. She was weak. She was his gateway to freedom.

"There will be another to defeat you." The dying Chung declared.

"Good." The Dragon Lord looked at Mei Pieh again. "Send your pretty daughter."

***********************************

The alarm went off in the old sewer den. They were under attack.

Twenty or so Foot soldiers ran through their hidden home. Well, it wasn't hidden any more

The Turtles grabbed their weapons and began to fight. The Foot put up quite a fight, but only enough to give them a few bruises. Still, it was one hell of a fight.

The Turtles fought well; their master would be proud. They fought with discipline and smarts. The Foot fought with anger and hatred.

The leader in charge of the Foot saw how bad the Turtles were beating them. He knew they would loose. He knew the Shredder would be angry. He called for a retreat, only to report to the Shredder what failures they were.

The four brothers began to boast about how they beat the shit out of Shredder's army. They laughed it off thinking everything was the greatest. Little did they know, something was wrong.

***********************************

The Dragon Lord assembled the Rank. He was ready to return back to earth. His plan had worked.

He laughed out loud and glanced at the Ninja rat he captured. Soon, she will come. Soon, she would come. Soon, he will be free.

***********************************

Mei Pieh Chi listened as her father said his last few words. Then, he closed his eyes. He was gone and she was all alone.

Chung I last wish was for her to go to America to save his friend, Splinter. She could not
do that though. She was hurting so bad. Her father was gone. Her father was gone.

***********************************

"What's wrong with him?" Leonardo questioned his wiser younger brother.

"I don't know. I can't wake him up." He replied

The turtles surrounded their master. What was wrong? Was he sick? Was he dying? They didn't know. They didn't know what to do. Something was wrong with their father and they could do nothing.

************************************

"Tonight, we will send out the entire Foot clan. The turtles will be crushed tonight." The Shredder excited his Ninja. "Tonight, the turtles will crumble."

The Foot gathered around him and began to cheer. "Shredder! Shredder!"

**************************************

Mei Pieh Chi pulled a sheet over father's body. She would give him a proper burial tomorrow.
It was late and she was tired. Her eyes burned from the tears she was crying.

She laid on the floor in her room, placing herself face down on the floor. She cried. She cried until she could cry no more. She cried herself to sleep.

In her sleep, she dreamed of a strange place. A place of fire. A place of darkness. The place scared her as she walked around. She felt like she was being watched.

He was watching. The Dragon Lord was watching her. He was waiting for her arrival. Finally, he and his family would be free.

She continued to walk around. She heard faint cries for help. Chung I's friend, she thought to herself. Then, a creature appeared before her.

She knew who he was. He was the Dragon Lord. He was the murderer of her father.

She stopped walking. He only stood a mere 5 feet from her. His eyes were red. He wore heavy armor and had a large sword. On his shoulder, a smaller dragon watched her also. She could feel his hatred. He was pure evil.

"Welcome Shinobi." Dragon Lord said to her. "I'm so glad you could join us."

She backed up in fear and turned to run.

"After her, follow her to freedom."

She could hear the dragons chasing after her. The Dragon Lord wasn't far from her. She ran and ran. Then, she looked back. She looked at his face and he gave her a wicked smile. Then, she tripped and he stood in front of her.

Her heart raced. She was so afraid. She looked up and saw his armored boots. Then, she saw him.

She jumped in her sleep. She was only dreaming. She lifted her head up to prove herself wrong, but he stood in front of her. He was there in her room. This time, she was not dreaming.
