Chapter 14
After calming down from his fear mode and pulled out his last tear, Ron gave Karai a deep kiss as smiled while doing it. When they pull apart from kissing, Zoey came in with her coloring book as she wanted to show them her coloring.
"Hey, big brother and sister, I want to show you my coloring and." Zoey stopped talking as she see her brother had a few tears running down his face. "Ron are you ok?." she ask. Then Ron said wiping his tear away as Karai let go of him. "I'm fine Zoey. The reason why my eyes are watery is because how bad Karai feet smells." as he hold his nose while chuckling at bit.
Karai just playfully slapped him on the arm and chuckle as well. "Stop saying that Ron. Besides you like it my smelly feet anyway." she said getting up from the couch and went over to the gifts that was given to them on their wedding day, while Zoey shrug her shoulders and went back to coloring in her room.
"Babe what are you doing?." Ron ask walking over to her and grab a seat at the table. "What does it look what I'm doing?. We are going to open our wedding presents, starting with this." she said seating down and started opening the gift. As she open the present it was a beautiful expensive black vase, with a red Japanese writhing. "Huh. It says peace and harmony." said Ron picking it up and placing the vase on the counter.
"Alright, an we both have a card and gift from our best friend. Shinigami." Karai said with a big smile on her face. Ron looked at Karai with a blank expression on his face as he said "Let me guess. Pot head send us some weed, didn't she?." Karai dropped her smile after hearing what Ron just said as she got a little bit upset about it.
"Ron just because her grandparents own a smoke shop in Japan, it doesn't mean that Shinigami smoke weed." This was the usual stuff that Karai was use to between Ron and Shinigami, such as seeing them going at it by getting at each others throats over silly things, and not to mention arguing over the tv remote.
Ron was in the fridge and pulled out some milk and ice cream to make a milkshake for himself and Karai. "Babe. I know you don't come over to my place when my grandfather was still around like almost everyday. But our friend Shinigami always come over and always smoking the joint." he said mixing the milk and ice cream together in the blender.
"Oh don't say that about Shinigami, Ron. She has a medical prescription for taking it." said Karai as she began reading the card, as Ron rolled his eyes as he remembered how Shinigami constantly smoke marijuana.
(FlashbackAt the book store dusting off some dust on the counter, Ron was cleaning up the store to give it's clean as the door swung open. The person that came in was Shinigami who was wearing a black t-shirt that had a picture of a old school Godzilla, and black shorts and long silk socks.
"Good even Ron, how's it hanging?." she ask seating on top of the check out counter. "Girl get your butt off the counter. I just got done cleaning it." said Ron, hatting to deal with Shinigami and rather spend time with his girlfriend. Shinigami began to laugh after that as she got off the counter, as she started walking up the steps.
"Hey, hey, hey. Where do you think your going?." he ask. "Isn't obvious Ron?. I want to play some 2K with my best buddy." she said singing it. With a sigh as he closed the door and lock it, Ron went up the steps to his room where Shinigami was seating in his computer chair.
"Fine here's your controller and let's begin." as Ron turned on the console, and while doing so, Shinigami took out a small piece of paper and then took out a small bag of weed, and begin pouring some on the paper. As Ron was playing the game with Shinigami, she was rolling the paper up and then started lighting it.
Then instantly Ron started smelling the stuff and immediately turned around, and saw Shinigami taking a puff and coughing a little. "Ah, no, no, no!. Shinigami don't you smoke up in my grandfather's house!." said Ron pausing the game and got mad. Shingami said blowing some smoke "Come on Ron lighten up would ya?. This is not a hand made drug it's all natural. This baby came from the ground!."
"I don't give a crap Shinigami it's still a drug. Now, put it out!." said Ron, being serious about it. In defeat, Shinigami said "Fine you win Ron. I'll put it out as soon as, I smoke another puff!." With being said Shinigami ran out of the room smoking the joint as fast as she can, as Ron was trying to catch her.
"Shinigami you pot head!." he yelled jumping over the table, as Shinigami went under the table and said "This is my medical prescription Ron. And you know this man." "Girl you liar. You may fool Karai with that crap but, you can't fool me." Suddenly the smoke sprinklers went off after getting the touch of the smoke, as the sprinklers started sprinkling water everywhere.
This cause them to stop doing what they were doing an getting wet in the process. "Now, look what you just did!." said Shinigami as her little roll was wet and soggy, as Ron just huffed and wish he had seen this one coming. (End Flashback)
Rolling her eyes and pushed Ron at the kitchen, Karai said "Ron why don't you just chill in the living room, while I fix us some milkshake." Then Ron said "Well, I was going to make it for us but, since you insist then fine then." As Ron went back into the living room, Karai begin mixing the stuff together and begin turning on the blender and turn it off to give a taste check.
"Mmmmm, it's good but too good. It needs a little bit more flavor." she said to herself as she went into the fridge and pulled out her favorite ingredient. "Sweet pickles." she said dropping at least two pickles in the blender. When the pickles were blended with the shake, Karai then pour it into two cups and put straws in both of them.
She then came into the living room with a grin as she handed Ron his cup, and took a seat. "Um, Karai?. Why is our milkshakes got a green blend to it?." he ask looking at his cup. "Don't know if you drink it ninja dumpling." she said drinking her milkshake. With a shrug he took a slurp of his milkshake an spit it back out into cup, as Ron put the cup down.
"Girl why did you add pickles in our milkshake?!. God, it taste disgusting." he said still tasting the flavor. "Cause Ron it's delicious!. I call it pickle milkshake." said Karai drinking her nasty combination, and then drink Ron's. Then after finishing her's and Ron's drink, she did a big burp that had the pickle aroma smell. "Next time, I'm making our milkshake's. Something is really wrong with you babe." said Ron.
Then Karai who was smiling at about as she said "Oh, whatever Ron you'll get the taste of it sooner or later. Well, I better get things ready for New Years tonight, because after that it's back to work." So, as the day became night time the three were waiting for the count down, as they were eating dinner together as a family.
"You know, my New Year's resolution is to get good grades this year and stay up late." said Zoey eating her cookie dough ice cream, as Karai said "My resolution is to spend time with my little sister and my husband." Ron put his cup down as he said "Well girls, my resolution is to be the best guy that you need me to be." Karai put her hand on Ron's hand and said "You're already the best guy Ron. That what makes me love you more."
Before Ron can say something to his wife, Zoey said "The count down is starting!." As they heard the people on the tv begin to count down the last seconds of the year, as everyone said "Happy New Year!." After Karai put a very sleepy Zoey in her bed, she went to the kitchen to brew some hot tea with a dash of sweet honey and pushed the mug towards Ron.
"I don't want no tea babe. But thanks anyway." Ron said picking up the mug, as Karai said "It's not just for drinking Ron, it will help you sleep better." Ron put his mug down and then smile at his wife and said "Thanks baby. I just hope this will keep me from having my nightmare." "I hope so too Ronnie kens, cause I need you mentally and physically prepared for the plan."
This made Ron stop drinking his tea and dare himself to ask. "Karai what plan?." Karai smile evily as she said "Father have told me on the day of our wedding that, the Kranng is shipping in some worms that produces mutagen so they can send us some mutagen. And we're going to set up a trap for Splinter by, capturing the turtles in which that's Tiger Claw's part while we are going to shoot a blow dart at Splinter and take him back into the hideout."
Ron didn't say a word when hearing the plan as he already felt the ease of worry and fear of betrayal but didn't show it in front of Karai, as she was waiting for a response. "That sounds awesome Kit Kat. Don't worry about a thing cause the Black Dragon is ready to conquer." he said winking. Karai was glad to hear it as she kissed him, and said "That's how my husband should sound!. I see you in bed ninja dumpling."
When she left the kitchen and leaving Ron by himself, he rereally didn't want go through with the plan but he has to. Cause now he is married to Karai and he is next leader of the Foot Clan, when Shredder steps down one day. So he really have no other way to get through this and hope that his private secret want get out tomorrow night.
After done drinking his tea, he went to bed as he started dreaming another nightmare once again. In the dojo he was surrounded in a black fog as he heard a sword being dragged across the floor, and coming out of the fog was a version of himself wearing his all black ninja gear, but only difference was that this Ron had red glowing eyes.
"Who the heck are you!?." Ron said in his fighting stance ready to fight. Then the other Ron said in a strong voice. "I'm you but way better, stronger, and dangerous that you could ever be." as he threw the sword in front of Ron. "Pick it up!. The only way of getting out of here is through me. In other words only one of us will walk out of here alive."
Ron picked up the sword with a strong grip and said "Bring it on demon." Then the evil Ron pulled out his sword and charged at Ron, as they both begin trading blades. Ron jumped over his evil encounter and drop kicked him, but the evil version of himself got back up and jump on top of Ron with his sword in hand.
Ron immediately blocked the hit of the blade with his, as the demon Ron pushed him back and tripped him backwards causing him to land on the floor. "You're weak and pathetic." said the evil Ron getting ready to stab Ron, but he quickly dodge it as the blade stabbed the floor and got stuck.
With quick thinking an took the opportunity at hand, Ron went behind his evil version and grabbed hold of him. "It suplex time!." he said as he through him over, and over again. The evil Ron stopped getting suplex as he flipped him over hard, making Ron feel the pain and then he was dragged all over the floor and threw him across the room.
"You throw like a little girl. Are you sure you're me?." said Ron being smart as the evil Ron grabbed him by the throat and push him up against the wall. "I show you what pain really feels like Ron." he said throwing him down on to the ground, and super kick him across the room.
Ron was trying to get up but the evil version of himself jumped on top of him with pressure. "Ahhhhh!." he yelled in agony. Then what make things worst the evil Ron stumped his hands hard and then stumped his head hard to the ground. "I can't move. I can't get up." said Ron feeling the pain and tears falling down.
"Your not worthy of being called the Black Dragon, I am." said evil Ron walking over to his sword that was still stuck in the floor, as he continued talking. "You're not strong enough, your not even a real ninja like me. And when this is over I will take your place and be the real brother to Zoey." At that moment right there, Ron manage to lift himself up after hearing that and said "No you want. You are not going any near my baby sister."
The evil Ron pulled out his sword to look at it for a bit, as said not paying attention to what's behind him. With a evil smile the dark Ron said "And I can't wait to kiss, cuddle, and sleep that hot wife of yours too." That stroke Ron's motivation big time as he got super angry as he and finally managed to get right back up, as the evil Ron turned around as he immediately got speared by Ron making him drop his sword.
Ron quickly grabbed his sword as the evil Ron got up as his red eyes were glowing, but then he was stabbed in the chest by the original Ron who was huffing as he said "Don't you ever, ever talk about my wife like that. And for your information me, there can be only one Black Dragon and that's me."
The evil Ron red eyes became black as he vanished into a black fog, then everything went dark. Ron finally woke up and this time he felt good an better. He looked down at Karai as she was sleeping peacefully, in which made him smile as he planted a kiss on her cheek.
Then he got out of the bed and headed to Zoey's room as she too was sleeping peacefully as well, as Ron place a kiss on her head and walked. Ron then went to the fridge to grab a water bottle as he grab a seat, and begin drinking his water.
He looked at his window as he seen the bright lights of the city, and then looked at his bracelet as it looking nice as he went back to drinking his water. He remembered what his grandpa have told him when he was learning the ancient skills of martial arts, and that was to be prepared for anything and don't be scared of the out come of it.
An that's what Ron is going to do as he was physically ready for the mission at hand but, he wasn't mentally ready for it. "God, please help me." he said continuing looking at the city of New York.
