(Next to convince, Nudge. Sorry if it sucks).

Nudge awoke alone in a Forrest. She looked around, and saw only a sword in front of her. She picked it up, and asked, "What is going on here?" She heard a noise.

She readied her sword, and prepared to strike. Out of nowhere came four ninja, dressed in red robes, trying to attack her. She somehow knew, how to block their attacks. They tried to punch her, she blocked the punch. She defended herself, and struck at pressure points. This shocked her, that she knew what to do. She was beating ninja. She never thought she could do that. Soon enough, they were beaten, and she ran ahead. Grasping the sword like a life line, she soon spread her wings, and flew. In her way, were robots. Cobra symbols on them. She took the sword, and sliced them up. She kept surprising her self. She knew what to do, without any formal training. As if it were in her blood.

Soon, she got to her destination. But it was blocked, by Storm Shadow. He took out his sword, and prepared to strike Nudge. The two were in an epic sword battle. Somehow, Nudge had defended herself, perfectly. Soon, she struck Storm Shadow while his guard was down. Soon, the Leader of the Red Arashikage Ninja clan, was on his back. Defeated. Nudge stopped him from getting up.

Storm Shadow said, in a surprising amount of pride, "Very skilled. No doubt from years of fighting. Untrained, undisciplined, and tacky. But, with some help, you will be perfect. Even better than myself."

Nudge took her blade to Storm Shadow's face, "Who are you. What do you want with us?" She had been tied up, no idea where the Flock was, and no Max to help out.

Storm Shadow said, "I am Storm Shadow. Leader of the Arashikage Ninja clan. I don't work for Cobra, but I have an alliance with them." He got up, slowly as to not trigger Nudge. He looked her in the eye, and took off his mask. He said to her, "More importantly.." He put his hands on her shoulders, "I am your father."

Nudge dropped her sword. She looked at the man, and was shocked beyond belief. This man, who'd kidnapped and attacked her, was her father? But it made sense. He was a ninja, and she'd beaten ninja. He had the same hair and eyes as she did. However, he was quite, while she was a motormouth.

She asked him, "If you're my father, why did you attack me? Where are we?"

Storm Shadow smiled, "We are home. The Arashikage Temple, in Tokyo Japan. I attacked you, to test your strength. To make sure that you ready. Ready to become one of us." He showed her everything. The history of the Arashikage clan, all in one book.

Nudge asked, in fear and curiosity, "Then, what about my mother? Where is she? Why are you just now talking to me?" She looked the ninja in his eyes, "Didn't she.. Love me?"

The ninja leader kneeled down, and hugged the young girl. He said, "She did. As did I. Neither of us, wanted to leave you. I left one day, only to return home to horror." He shook as he remembered, "My home destroyed, and the woman I loved dead. Dead, by a self-inflicted wound, from my own sword." He soon became angered, "I looked everywhere for you. I didn't care what I had to do. I was restoring my family. I searched for hours, until I lost hope. I realized something. The culprits left footprints. They took you."

He punched the wall. He said, "Then, I became colder. More hardened. I don't care anymore." He looked to his daughter, and said, "I just want you, to be here. At home. Where I need you. I provide you, a choice."

Nudge asked, "What choice?" First, kidnapping. Then, attacking. Now, a mysterious choice? What was the plan?

Storm Shadow said, "Soon, Cobra intends to rule the world. They will let the Arashikage, rule over Japan. The choice, either you may join us.. Or you, can live in the new world as another." He looked down in utter sadness, "You may have, a normal life. Never to see me, again." He left, "I'll give you time to think about it."

Nudge, who'd usually been a motormouth, was quite. Entirely mute by this revelation. She didn't know how to react. Now she had a choice. Either be normal, or never see her father again. Who could choose? She fell in fear, and had no idea what to do.
