I have a new poll up. Just so you know, next chapter comes after I get results from the poll.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own TMNT.


(flashback (one week before Sewer Sweet Sewer), cut to Ninja Tribunal monastery)

Five figures were gathered in the oratory of the Ninja Tribunal monastery. All five seats on the "stage" were occupied. Floating 5 feet above the pond that was directly in front of them is a levitating vertical disk of water. This water had served a mystical TV which was currently being used to watch a meeting that gave the five forces of nature an ominous feeling. The levitating TV began draining back into the pond once the evil television program had come to an end, courtesy of "Shredder and His Foot".

"Chikara, what do you make of this?" inquired Kon, the Ninjutsu Master of Spirit as he turned toward the glowing green-eyed master. Although it was a question, it sounded more like a statement.

"It seems the Evil One has escaped our grasp silently and cheated death once again," Chikara replied with a hollow chuckle that contained no traces of amusement. "However, this time, he has not laid dormant for 17 centuries, but instead a few years. Yet, his power seems to be growning in his dormancy, even if it is at a very slow pace."

"True," continued the red-eyed midget master, "But, however, this is not what worries me. It is his potential to expand his power beyond known measures. His power is slightly growning, but it is his potential to secure his reign once he conquers it that has increased exponentially. No doubt caused by the recent factors that have started popping up in different places in the world," he said with a disappointed shake of the head. "His capability and command advanced minions as seen here is also disturbing."

"Our current acolytes themselves aren't enough. We need more acolytes capable of manipulating chi," concluded Juto. Hisomi nodded.

"When the time comes, we shall all summon our acolytes. You," Kon said, turning to the short one, "shall summon the Turtles. Hisomi, you shall summon Adam and Joi. Juto, you shall summon Feraji and Tora. I shall summon...HER." His silver eyes glowed.

They all sat cross-legged in their chairs and began meditating. Chi swirled all around them, and they all began hovering to one of five spots along the circumference of the lake/pond. All their eyes glowed immensely, and two figures slowly blurred into the lake/pond. One wearing black and grey, and the other wearing black and blue. Both of them showed impressive stealth skills, and were blending into the night.

"The journey begins again. The wheel turns once more!"


Don't you just LOVE the cliffhangers? This is the new and re-edited version. Like I said before, the results of the poll influence were this story's going. The story is going to stay in flashback mode (still a couple of weeks before the first chapter) for the next couple chapters.
