Rugrats in Japan: Chihiro Arc: Chapter 2
Angelica and Soyami!
In the temple where Susie snuck into in the Chihiro Daycare Center, a boy wearing a gold, red, and silver samurai uniform and helmet on was practicing his strikes with his sword. Just then, another boy wearing a samurai uniform appeared before Soyami.
"Soyami Senshi" the boy said.
"What news have you brought for me, this time" Soyami asked the boy?
"Tafuyumi and Jimmy have just brought new people into this center" the boy said.
"I see" Soyami said. "What are those people like"?
"They appear to be westerners" the boy answered. "However, something terrible has happened to them".
"What happened to them" Soyami asked.
"They were ambushed by Mashimi and his ninjas" The boy said, shaking. "They managed to hide, and by the time Tafuyumi and her friends defeated the ninjas, only two of the westerners were left there". "I'm not so sure about where the rest of them may be".
"Don't worry about them" Soyami assured the boy. "They should be safe right now". "Go back to your quarters".
"As you wish, your excellency" the boy said. The boy then returned to his quarters.
Soyami continued his sword training, when two samurai kids who were dragging Susie Carmichael by the arms placed her on the ground before Soyami.

"Take it easy" Susie said, annoyed.
"Soyami Senshi" The two kids said in unison.
"What is it, Haruka and Suko" Soyami asked? "I'm in the middle of training right now".
"Soyami, this girl tresspassed onto our territory without asking" Suko said.
"What" Soyami exclaimed!? "Is this true, western girl" Soyami asked Susie?
"Yes" Susie said.
"It's not nice to enter without knocking and without our permission" Soyami said. "Do you have any reason for doing so?
"I was trying to hide from a bunch of ninjas" Susie explained.
"You were trying to hide from ninjas" Soyami asked?
"Yes" Susie said.
"So you are one of the westerners who entered this daycare center" Soyami said to Susie.
"How do you know about them" Susie asked?
"I was just told about them" Soyami said. "But I don't know their names".
"I'll introduce you to them" Susie said, smiling.
"That'll have to wait for another time" Soyami said, sternly. "Right now, you have commited a dishonorable thing by sneaking into our temple".
Susie sighed. "Okay, what's my punishment"?
"Well, no punishment is necessary for you, since you were desperate to get away from those ninjas" Soyami said, smiling. "So I'll either let you off with a warning, or convince you to work for me as a samurai".
Susie gasped in amazement. "Me"? "Work as a samurai"?
"WHAT" Haruka and Suko exclaimed in shock!?
"You all heard me" Soyami said to Susie, Haruka, and Suko.
"But your excellency, she is not ready to go into battle yet" Suko protested.
"Which is why I will train her" Soyami said.
"You will" Susie asked?
"Of course" Soyami said, smiling. "We need new members in our group, because, Mashimi's number of ninjas is growing fast".
"Well, if you're counting on me to help you out, then I won't let you down" Susie said happily.
"So long as you remember Bushido and it's eight virtues" Soyami said.
"I thought there were seven virtues" Susie said.
"No". "There are eight" Soyami said.
"The virtues are honor, courage, rectitude, benevolence, respect, loyalty, and honesty" Susie said.
"Don't forget Character" Soyami said.
"I won't" Susie assured him.
"Does this mean you're in" Soyami asked?
"Yes, Soyami". "I'm in and I promise you, I will be as great a samurai as I can be" Susie said proudly.
"Then it's decided" "Soyami said, smiling. "From this day forward, you are hereby a samurai in training".
This made Susie very happy.
"Haruka"! "Suko"! "Get this westerner a samurai uniform" Soyami demanded.
"Hai" Haruka and Soyami said at the same time.

Meanwhile, Chuckie and Lil were sitting on the roof of the martial arts temple where Tafuyumi and the others were training at.
"What a view" Lil said.
"I'm kind of afraid of heights" Chuckie said, fearfully.
"Tsuruhime wouldn't want you to be afraid, would she" Lil asked?
"Oh yeah"! "Tsuruhime". "I'll show her that a coward like me can fight against bad guys" Chuckie said angrilly.
Lil and Chuckie looked down at the slaves working in the plantations, slaves being attacked by whips, slaves being paddled, and slaves being treated worse than dirt by their masters. Lil and Chuckie were shocked by this.
"This is what slaves get when they work too slowly" A voice from behind Lil and Chuckie said.
Lil and Chuckie looked behind them to see Tafuyumi walk in between them and sit down next to them.
"Tafuyumi" Chuckie said. "What are you doing here"?
"I just thought I'd sit here and watch. That's all" Tafuyumi said.
Lil, Chuckie, and Tafuyumi watched as slaves were being abused by their masters.
"Mudana is willing to go to great lengths to make sure things go her way" Tafuyumi said sadly.
"I can't believe those people would treat babies that way" Lil said angrilly.
"This is even worse than what Angelica does" Chuckie said.
"Who's Angelica" Tafuyumi asked?
"Angelica is my best friend's mean cousin who is always calling us "dumb babies"" Chuckie said.
"That is not very nice of her" Tafuyumi said.
Lil looked to the bottom right and saw a yellow haired pigtailed girl in a ninja uniform
"Speaking of 'Angelica', isn't that her over there" Lil asked?
Chuckie looked to the bottom right and saw the girl running to a temple straight ahead of her.
"Hey"! "That IS her" Chuckie said, surprised.
"And she is going to Mashimi's base" Tafuyumi said.
"Let's follow her" Lil said, in a rush.
"Wait a minute, Lil" Chuckie said. "I don't think we are ready to fight those ninjas, yet".
"Chuckie's right" Tafuyumi said. "There is still the matter of your training".
"Oh yeah" Lil realized. "But can't we just sneak in"?
"I'll send Tsuruhime to do that" Tafuyumi said.
"Tsuruhime" Chuckie grumbled.
Minutes later, Tsuruhime was running out of the temple and she ran along the rooftops until she reached Mashimi's base, which was heavily guarded by ninjas. She snuck into a window at the basement of the building, she went inside the basement and looked through a windowsill and saw Mashimi Senshi with Angelica, Big Binky, the big brother of Emma, and the McNulty siblings wearing ninja uniforms and veils and bowing before him. Alongside Mashimi was a baby girl with black hair, a ninja leotard with fishnet sleeves and leggings, and a veil on her face.
(Theme for this event: watch?v=ajShvVZrV-E)
"I am fully aware that you people are new here and have no experience being ninjas or practicing ninjutsu" Mashimi said. "But I also understand that you people are bullies". To us, bullies are valuable assets in our cause for power and power is everything". "Serving our mistress is everything".
Mashimi looked at Angelica. "Angelica, you wanted a toy car with a beeper". Mashimi then looked at Big Binky. "Big Binky, you wanted better protection for your sister after that incident with your parents". Mashimi then looked at Timmy, Ty, Todd, Terry, and Teddy. "And as for you, McNultys, you wanted your family to achieve power over everyone". Mashimi folded his arms across his chest. "All that will come to all of you, soon".
"There is but one condition to that, however" Mashimi said. "You must serve Mudana". Mashimi looked at the baby ninja girl. "Tell them what to do, Tifokana".
Tifokana nodded and looked at the bowing crowd.
"We will attack the samurai temple at midnight, tommorow when those samurai least expect it". "They will be sleeping during that time". "Don't sleep on this one, or else" Tifokana warned.
"What if the samurai skip their sleep time" Angelica asked Tifokana?
"They will be too tired to fight us" Tifokana said. "We will destroy their turf and leave them helpless".
"They will still fight us" Big Binky said.
"But Mudana still has her undead samurai army" Tifokana said to which Binky and the others gasped. "If us ninja work with them, the samurai will be outnumbered".
"That sounds like a great idea" Timmy McNulty said.
"Do you solemnly swear to serve Mudana, until you get what you want" Tifokana asked the crowd?
"FOR MUDANA" Angelica, Big Binky, and the McNultys shouted at the same time.
"That's good" Tifokana said.
Tsuruhime, upon learning their plan, and getting upset by it, rushed out of the base and back to the martial arts temple.
(End of theme)
As Binky and the McNultys went to do some ninjutsu training, Tifokana and Mashimi talked to Angelica.
"Angelica, we are very proud to have you as our comrade" Tifokana said to Angelica.
"Yes". "You do so well to serve us". Mashimi said.
"I'm just doing what your daddy wanted me to do" Angelica said to Mashimi.
"Keep up the good work" Mashimi said. "And remember about your reward".
"I don't know how I can FORGET" Angelica laughed.
"Let's go, Tifokana" Mashimi said to Tifokana.
"Okay" Tifokana said.
As Mashimi and Tifokana left Angelica, Angelica snuck out of the base and ran to a temple where some other ninja were. Angelica knocked on the door and two ninjas let her in. Angelica ran inside the temple, where a girl with blue hair and a ninja uniform with fishnet sleeves on was waiting for her. Angelica bowed her head to the girl.
"Lady Yuurikage" Angelica said.
"What news have you brought for me, Angelica" Yuurikage asked?
"Bad news" Angelica said. "Mashimi's ninjas are planning to attack the samurai temple at midnight, tommorow".
"That IS bad news" Yuurikage said. She started to worry. "Has Mashimi learned that you are a ninja spy sent by me to gather information about him and his cronies"?
"Nope" Angelica said, smiling. "He has not learned that at all".
"He trusts me completely and he should learn that I can't be trusted".
"You do realize this means that you can't get that car with the beeper". Yuurikage said sadly.
"Believe me, Yuurikage. A car with a beeper is NOT worth working for a horrible boy who works for a baby abuser". "I mean I pick on babies, but abusing babies goes way too far by my standards" "I'm not evil, you know" Angelica said.
"Um, Angelica, didn't you once tell me that you almost made a bad lady from Paris a new mommy for a kid"? Yuurikage asked Angelica? "That sounds pretty evil to me".
Angelica, feeling guilty, looked to her feet. "I know". "And I still regret what I did and I made up for it to Chuckie and ever since that day, I began to care for Chuckie a little and I made a promise to myself that I would never make the mistake of helping evil people again" Angelica said with tears running down her face.
Yuurikage smiled. "That's pretty noble of you, Angelica" She said. "Train at this place tommorow before noon". "Got it"?
Angelica looked at Yuurikage and smiled "Got it".
