Chapter 2: Ambush
The teen turned around and saw a ninja standing there.
"Whatchu talkin' 'bout 'our' trap?" the teen questioned the ninja.
"We have you surrounded," the ninja replied.
"The only thing tha' is surroundin' us are these…Ow! Wha' the…?" the teen just got struck in the right arm by a ninja star. He pulled it out, and blood dripped out from his arm. "Where did tha' come from?"
After the teen said that, a group of ninjas dropped down and surrounded the teen. Another group surrounded the tiger.
"You're coming with us," said the ninja.
"N' if I don't?" the teen retorted.
"We'll make you," the ninja replied.
"If it's a throw-down y'all want, then you'll get a throw-down," the teen said, getting into a fighting stance.
The ninjas began their attack on the teen and the tiger. In the teen's battle, two ninjas from either side threw ninja stars, and the teen bent backwards as the ninja stars flew over him, heading toward the two ninjas.
"Keanu, eat your own heart out," the teen said as he stood back up.
However, the two ninjas dodged before the ninja stars struck them. A few ninjas charged at the teen at the same time. One reached out to grab the teen's arm, but the teen dodged just in time to strike the ninja in the face with his elbow, knocking the ninja down for a moment. He crouched down to the ground and did a spinning low kick, tripping three more to the ground. He jumped to his feet.
A ninja unsheathed a katana and charged at the teen. The teen saw the ninja just as it swung down on the teen. He nearly missed the swing of the katana, but the ninja was slightly faster as it quickly swung back up and struck the teen in the chest with the blade. The teen screamed in pain and fell to his knees, clutching his chest as blood spewed out of the opening and stained his t-shirt to a darker shade of red. The teen slowly rose to his feet, panting slowly and glaring at the surrounding ninjas.
"Did you have enough?" the ninja asked, smirking at the injured teen.
"Are you…havin'…fun…makin' clichés?" the teen said breathlessly, glaring at the ninja.
"Don't worry. This will all be over soon," the ninja replied as he threw some kunai in the teen's direction.
Due to loss of blood, the teen couldn't dodge them fast enough and some of the kunai struck him in the arms, legs, and the chest. Again he screamed in pain and dropped to the ground. He tried to get back up but collapsed to the ground, sending the kunai deeper into his body. He cried out again. His panting increased, and his vision began to get blurry. With a significant amount of blood already loss, he lost consciousness and blacked out.
"One down and one more to go," the ninja said. He turned to the others in his group. "Let's get his body."
In Ice Blaze's battle, the white tiger brought forth a struggle as the ninjas made futile attempts to stick a syringe into the tiger. The tiger did a donkey kick with his hind legs at two ninjas that were behind him in their chests, sending them flying toward a tree and knocking them unconscious. He scratched a few more, but he failed to land a swipe at the female ninja, who was faster than every other ninja in the group.
The female ninja was slightly faster than the tiger, and she held a syringe that was filled with a tranquilizing fluid that will knock the tiger out. She evaded the tiger's strike with ease and jumped to his right side and stuck the syringe into the white tiger's neck.
Ice Blaze roared as the needle made contact with his skin and began to stagger around. His vision of the surrounding area blurred. He blacked out and collapsed to the ground.
"Nighty night, kitty," said the female ninja with a smug look on her face, even though her face was covered up. She looked at the others in her group, who were mildly injured. "Let's get this tiger and the two unconscious ones."
Once the two groups of ninjas regrouped, they hauled the teen and the white tiger to a clearing. The ninjas placed the two on the ground. The male head ninja grabbed a communicator and spoke into.
"Khalil," began the ninja. "This is Takato. We have the targets."
"Excellent," an African American voice replied. "I got the location of your communicator. We'll be comin' there in a moment."
"Okay," Takato responded and looked at the female head ninja. "Khalil said he'll be here in a moment, Ayame."
Ayame nodded her head. A few moments later, a military helicopter made its descent to the ground. The helicopter was pitch-black in color with white lettering on the sides. The letters on the side spelled: GEN-PAR Inc. The left side of the helicopter slid open, and a male African American teenager stepped out. The teen featured a well built body with cornrows and dark skin. He wore a black short sleeve t-shirt that says, "People think I'm crazy", black baggy jeans, and black skateboard shoes.
"I see you were able to get 'em down n' out," said the teen.
"The human gave my group some minor problems, but we were able to knock him out, Khalil," Takato said.
"I told you he was goin' to put up a fight," replied Khalil as looked at the unconscious teen on the ground and noticed the blood. "Shoot, you even bloodied him up some too. Good job."
"I aim to please," Takato replied as he bowed.
"Suck up," muttered a ninja.
"I heard that," Takato said, shooting the other ninja a look.
"Let's get these two into the helicopter and head back to base," Ayame said with her arms crossed.
One group of ninjas grabbed the unconscious teen and the tranquilized white tiger and dragged them toward the helicopter. Once the two were loaded into the helicopter, the ninjas got situated, and Khalil got into the pilot's seat. He pushed a button to close the door. He pressed another button to start up the helicopter. The rotors came to life, and the aircraft lifted off. The helicopter turned right and flew off into the horizon.
