Suddenly, the electricity caused a massive flash of light, and when it cleared, Kenshin was now in April's clothing! "...KAPPA!" he screamed, reaching for his sword.
The others blinked with wide eyes, doing a bit of a double-take.
"NO WAY!" Patch gasped with wide eyes.
"What was that he said?" Mo blinked with an eyebrow raise. "Kappa? As in Kappa Mikey?"
"I don't think so." Atticus said to his girlfriend.
April soon appeared just where Kenshin was, now standing beside Kintarō in Kenshin's clothes. A man walked by, taking a long look at April as he suddenly stopped in his tracks. April then screamed suddenly while the man screamed too.
"Ohayo gozaimasu." Splinter soon spoke to the new stranger.
Kenshin soon cried out before he then suddenly passed out from the excitement.
"You have that effect on people, don't you, Master?" Don remarked to Splinter.
"Mm... Out cold." Splinter replied from where he sat.
"What in the name of unholy abominations is going on here?" Cherry groaned.
"A better question would be, how did that guy get into April's pants?" asked Mikey.
Lionel smirked at the camera. "Must Be a Bobsheaux~!" he exclaimed, as a digitized fanfare played.
"We better get him lying down and comfortable." Atticus suggested as he carried Kenshin and went to lie him down somewhere comfortable.
"We should probably get some snacks too," Cherry said. "I know I could use a little comfort food in a situation like this."
"I just wonder where April went?" Patch pouted.
"More like when she went to," Lionel stated. "But snacks are a good idea."
"All right, when did April go?" Atticus then asked.
"Just now, didn't you see her?" Cherry replied.
Atticus and Patch both rolled their eyes as Cherry smirked. They soon helped Kenshin sit down as they got some snacks, deciding to share some with each other and to also give to their new friend if he wanted some.
"Wakey-Wakey... Wakey..." Mikey said, waving the fedora in Kenshin's face to wake him up after his fainting spell. "Hey, guys do these clothes look familiar to you?" he then asked the others.
"You could say that, yeah." Cherry replied as she ate some chicken wings.
"Wake up. Wake up, weird-looking James Dean dude." Mikey told Kenshin as his eyes began to flutter.
"Oh, look... He's waking up." Mo noted.
As soon as Kenshin's eyes focused, he backed off in shock. "KAPPA!" he exclaimed in terror.
"Kappa?" asked Don. "No thanks, not before breakfast."
"What's a kappa?" asked Mikey.
The others looked at Cherry as she had a huge knowledge of mythology and the creatures.
"A kappa is a hungry river demon from Japan," Cherry replied. "The only way to defeat is to make it bow. I guess he thinks that you guys are kappas." he then said to the Ninja Turtles.
"She is correct," Splinter added as Kenshin shifted focus onto him. "Though some were good and some were very bad."
"Ohh..." Mikey then nodded, now understanding, and so did the others who didn't know.
"Demons." Kenshin soon spoke again.
"Hey! He speaks English!" Leo noted.
"Where's he from anyways?" Don asked.
"Considering he said 'kappa', I guess he's from Japan himself." Atticus guessed.
"And because this is a kids' flick, of course he speaks English!" Raph noted to the camera.
"We just gotta know what happened to April and where-" Patch began before Lionel had a certain look in his eye before he finished that sentence a little differently. "And when."
"It seems the scepter has magic powers and somehow transported them both through time." Splinter advised.
"Hold on, dudes. If April's back in feudal Japan, does that mean we, like, have to ride that scepter back through time to get her?" Mikey spoke up.
"Turtles in Time?" Atticus shrugged.
"You're hilarious." Cherry deadpanned.
"You have no choice, my son," Splinter replied before looking at the group. "Perhaps you should go along too."
"Probably better than standing here like a bunch of lazily added in extras who contribute nothing to the plot." Cherry snarked.
"Exactement!" Lionel replied. "Now all we need is a way to get back in time!"
"Well, we might know a time traveler..." said Mikey.
"Hmm... Is that a fact?" Mo asked the turtles thoughtfully and hopefully.
"Oh, this should be good." Cherry said with a small smirk.
"Yup," Mike nodded. "Her name's Renet; she comes from somewhere or other, and she's a time sorceress in training."
"Good to know." Atticus said.
"Very well then, let's see this Renet." Cherry suggested.
"There's one problem with that," said Leo. "She usually shows up when we least expect it."
"Like if there's some time disturbance..." started Don, before he was interrupted by a crackling ball of blue energy. "Like that."
The ball of energy finally burst open to reveal a young woman in strange-looking clothes and a headpiece. "Hey, guys!" she exclaimed. "Heyyyy, Mikey~" she cooed to the orange-clad turtle.
Mike covered his face to hide his blushing. "...Yo, Renet." he replied.
The group glanced at each other before looking back at this woman who came into the room.
"Oh... You have some new friends?" Renet asked once she saw the group.
"Hey." Atticus smiled and waved.
"It's kind of a long story, but we'll get into that later." Mike replied.
"Yes, the turtles tell us that you can help us out in our very unique and peculiar situation." Mo suggested.
"Sure...what is it?" asked Renet.
Lionel pulled Kenshin forth, and Renet scanned him with her Time Scepter. "Ohhh... This guy is from the Sengoku period of Japan," Renet read. "And that was the period when the Timekeepers Society was formed! But this was supposed to be an artifact in our museum of time travel! How could somebody have gotten this back to 1603?"
"No clue." Atticus shrugged.
"Looks like it's time to do some research," Mo suggested. "Cherry, get your laptop, because I know you have it."
Cherry rolled her eyes before she grabbed her backpack and dumped out the contents, consisting of a dream journal, her adventure scrapbook, her Equestrian medallion, and finally her laptop.
"Get crackin'!" Mo smiled at Cherry.
"Yeah, yeah..." Cherry rolled her eyes before opening up her laptop and typed away as needed.
"Clearly April and Kenshin must've been holding the Scepters at the same time," Lionel theorized. "Perhaps some sort of conjunction occurred that triggered its chrono-displacement abilities and supercharged it with warp energy, thus swapping out the two people in different time periods who held the scepter!"
"Hmm... That's an interesting way to look at it." Patch commented.
"Interesting... A talking dog." Renta said to Patch.
"Heh... Funny story about that," Patch smiled bashfully. "At least you're not freaking out or wondering if you're hearing things."
"Some of my best friends are human-sized talking turtles, I think I'm fine." Renta smirked.
"Hm... Fair point." Patch smirked back.
"Well, Lionel, you seem to be right so far," Cherry said as she was on her laptop. "There's something else here though."
"What does it say?" Atticus asked his best friend.
"The switch will only work under one condition," Cherry replied before asking, "You know what that is?"
"Tuesdays?" Leo guessed, shrugging.
"Groundhog's Day?" Raph added.
"No, no, no!" Cherry groaned at them.
"Great." Don grumbled as his brothers didn't know.
"It will only work if the magic travelers each have the same weight." Kenshin informed.
"He's right." Cherry added.
"So if two people held onto it in the feudal era, they'd be swapped with two people holding it at the same time in the present!" Lionel spoke up. "But at least we've got Renet to get us back in time."
"That might make our job just a little bit easier." Cherry added.
"It would be my pleasure." Renet nodded to the group.
"Cool," Atticus smiled. "We'll get April back in... No time." he then smirked as he tried to make a joke.
The others just glanced at him.
"...Get it?" Atticus smiled nervously. "...Because April's back in time and we should go... Back in..."
The others just kept looking at him funny.
"...I'll stop talking now." Atticus then said, coughing sheepishly.
"Please do," Cherry replied. "And I'm asking nicely."
Atticus grinned nervously, stepping backwards awkwardly.
"Anyway, thank you for your help, Renet," Cherry then told the strange woman. "Also, it's very nice to meet you."
"Likewise, you're pretty cool too!" Renet replied with a smile.
Cherry gave a small nod of her head and small half-smile back.
"So, does anyone have a plan yet?" Mo asked. "We gotta get April back soon."
"Well, we can track the chronotons left behind by the Time Scepter," Renet explained. "And of course, we can follow her back in time!"
"All right then," Mo nodded. "Hopefully it works."
"You seem to be an expert," Cherry added to Renet. "At least... I hope that you are."
"Sure I am!" Renet said as she tapped some things into the Time Scepter's computer, before it started warming up.
"Step back, dudes," Mikey said as he jumped into the room, laughing. "I just brought us some heavy artillery!"
A certain man was soon shown as he followed the orange-banded turtle down into the room.
"Casey!" Cherry and her friends greeted.
"Donny!" Casey called out to the purple-banded turtle.
"Long time!" Donny answered, putting his hand up.
"Leo, how's it going?" Casey asked the blue-banded turtle.
"Hey, Casey, welcome back." Leo smiled and nodded.
"Hey, Raph, how'd your brain implant go, good?" Casey soon asked the red-banded turtle.
"What?" Raph's eyes widened before they suddenly narrowed.
"Funny," Casey chuckled as he was just joking around before seeing Cherry and the others. "And you guys are here too? That's pretty sweet."
"Welcome back," Patch waved. "We're about to head back... In time!"
Casey chuckled. "The little talking puppy dog cracks me up every time." he then said to himself.
"Oh, sure, talking turtles is fine, but it's funny when I talk." Patch rolled his eyes.
"It's cuz you're a cute little puppy wuppy~" Cherry smirked at the Dalmatian.
"Hmph." Patch firmly pouted in response.
"All right, Casey, since you're here, you can stay here with Master Splinter while we travel to save April." Atticus suggested.
"Whoa, what?!" Casey asked. "You mean I don't even get to be part'a the action?!"
"I think Atticus is right," Raph replied. "Someone needs to stay here in case the Time Bandit decides to flip out. If it ain't too much of an inconvenience."
Master Splinter sent Casey a look as he looked around.
"...It would be a serious honor." Casey decided.
"So glad that you understand," Cherry approved. "All right, we better get going. The sooner the better." she then suggested to the others about going back in time.
"Okay, let's go!" Mo declared as she and the others held onto the Time Scepter, before a time doorway opened nearby.
"It is time to go, my sons," Splinter nodded. "Donatello, we shall wait by the scepter every 12 hours as you have instructed."
"Correct, Master Splinter, but the space-time continuum will be out of phase after 60 hours." Don replied.
"Wait a second. Time-out," Casey spoke up. "What does all that mean in American?"
"If we don't come back in two and a half days, we're turtle soup." Don then explained to him.
"Whoa!" The other turtles and Atticus gasped.
"Bummer." Casey then remarked.
"Yes, I imagine that it would be," Cherry nodded. "Now let's get going."
"Do you know how to fight?" Patch asked Cherry.
"I'm a little bit rusty, but I should be fine if I remember some of my training with a certain Dark Knight," Cherry advised. "As well as a possible Warrior girl."
"Good, good!" Lionel beamed.
"The scepter will be in the temple which means you will be replaced by four priests." Splinter told the turtles.
"What about us?" Cherry asked.
"It might be complicated and different for you." Splinter replied.
"Nothing to it." Raph replied as he and the others got ready.
"Now we must please try to hurry," Kenshin urged the others. "Mitsu and Kintarō in great danger."
"Mits-who?" Patch asked.
Yes, Mitsu. She is the woman who leads the rebellion against my father," Kenshin explained. "She's brave and bold like The Great Warrior of Northern Wei who slew a creature called the Yaoguai before saving a princess put under a sleeping curse and a prince put under a beastly curse. She is the most courageous and beautiful woman-" he then added, seeming to get lost in a tangent about Mitsu.
"Yeah, we get the picture," Raph interrupted impatiently. "Can we go now? Enough Mitsu already." he then asked.
"No offense, we just got no time to waste, ironically since we're traveling through time." Atticus said to Kenshin apologetically.
"Yeah, we'll help you and your friends." Cherry added.
"That's what we get for leaving a crappy old-school model of the Time Scepter in the present day..." Renet shrugged. "But come on! The portal's opened, and it's waiting!"
"All right, gang, let's get going." Cherry told the others.
"Right!" The rest of the group agreed.
"Let's go, Mikey." Leo said as they got ready, though their brother was missing.
The others looked around before finding Mikey as he wore a pair of shorts while dancing to the hula before he saw that he had an audience. "What?" he then asked, seeing their stares.
"Why are you wearing shorts?" Don asked Mikey.
"Kenshin switched with April and got her clothes." Mikey stated the obvious.
"...Yeah, and grass is green and water is wet." Cherry retorted.
"So this is for whoever comes through in my place, so they won't arrive bare-butt naked." Mikey explained then.
"Ohh..." The others then said, now understanding.
"I got three more pairs." Mikey offered to his brothers then.
"No! We have no time for this scientific debate." Splinter scolded.
"Yes, Master," Leo nodded before bowing to the rat maturely. "Come on, guys, let's go." he then told the others.
"Don't gotta tell me twice." Atticus remarked.
"All right, this inscription says, 'Open wide the gates of time'... From someone named RS?" Cherry informed, reading aloud before shrugging from below the instructions.
"My friend and I met this powerful wizard who makes deals and gives you whatever you want, but at a price." Kenshin replied.
"Hmm... That sounds dangerous," Cherry said. "Probably the cost of you being sent away from home and your friend after he helped you guys out. Whoever this RS guy is, he sounds like a conman."
"Go with care, my sons and adventurous children, and return with swiftness." Splinter advised the turtles and the adventure group.
"Can do, Chief!" Renet declared as she and the others stepped through the vortex.
The others yelped out as they went through the timestream with Renet's help, leaving Splinter, Casey, and Kenshin back at home.
"Make sure your tray tables are in their full upright positions!" Mikey called out.
"Hang on to your shells, dudes!" Raph added.
"Hold onto your butts!" Cherry called out, taking a cue from Jurassic Park.
And at that, the Ninja Turtles and the group disappeared and four Japanese men took their place.
"This is very bad," Kenshin told the others. "They are not four priests. They are my father's honor guard."
The men muttered to themselves, feeling very confused and scared.
"The scepter was not in the temple." Splinter realized.
"There must have been a battle." Kenshin guessed.
"I knew it," Casey groaned. "I'm missing all the fun."
MEANWHILE, IN ANCIENT JAPAN...
With a crackle of lightning, the Turtles, Renet, and Alpha Brigade re-materialized, with the fearsome foursome clad in samurais' armor...and all of them on horseback!
"Where are the priests?!" called Leo. "Where's the temple?!"
"Talk about your Quantum Leap!" Donny exclaimed.
"I guess something got lost in translation." Cherry commented.
"Well, at least you guys made it here too." Donny said to them.
"Yeah. Thank goodness for that." Atticus added in agreement.
"Hey, dudes, check it out!" Mikey called out as they rode along. "We're in 'Shogun'!"
"Haven't seen that one before..." Lionel noted as the horses kept on galloping.
"Where are the brakes on this thing?!" Renet yelped as she was having some trouble getting her horse to slow down.
"How did we get these clothes?" asked Leo.
"You guys must've swapped with whoever was wearing those!" Atticus called. "And from what you're wearing, I don't think they were priests!"
"Definitely not!" Mo agreed with her boyfriend.
"This is gonna be chaotic," Cherry said nervously. "Not to mention that even though my parents love horses, I'm a little bad with horses myself."
"It's okay, Cherry!" Atticus called out. "Just keep your eyes on the horse! I had to learn that from your dad before one of my solo adventures!"
Cherry whimpered nervously and tried to keep her horse under control, but it kept running off as it seemed to be just as scared as she was while the Turtles had even worse trouble with their horses. While the new group from the future had trouble with their horses, the people there continued to fight. Someone on their own horse, wearing a mask to conceal their face watched Cherry's trouble and soon sent their horse right after the perky goth to help her out before she would get seriously hurt. Nearly the rest of the group's horses came to a small pond before stopping and they fell in and splashed into the water, though Mikey wasn't so lucky, as his horse was still riding away with him.
"I think I swallowed a frog," Donny groaned once he got out of the water. "Hope it wasn't an ancestor."
"Uh-oh!" Mo exclaimed. "We'd better go after rawhide over there."
"Well, at least the time travel worked." Leo said as he looked around the others.
"Ugh! We're here five minutes, and already we lost, one brother, that goth girl, the magic scepter-" Raph began to complain.
"Our dignity." Donny quickly added.
"And no April!" Raph then concluded before groaning.
"Hey, where are Mikey and Cherry?" Donny suddenly asked before looking around.
"Last time I saw them, they were doing this..." Leo replied before flailing his arms out and freaking out.
"Jeez, what else could happen?" Raph complained.
"We better go find and help Michelangelo and Cherry." Atticus suggested.
"Hopefully we'll be able to." Mo added.
"Help! Somebody help me!" Cherry cried out as her horse was still riding out of control.
The masked stranger mounted their horse, still going after Cherry's runaway horse, chasing the perky goth down as she screamed all the while.
"Come on, please, stop! Help me! Oh!" Cherry grunted and panicked, having tears of fear in her eyes. "Help! Help me! Please help me!"
The masker stranger rode by and soon held out their hand to the perky goth.
"Who... Who are you?" Cherry asked.
The stranger didn't say anything and just kept their hand out for her to grab onto for her life.
Cherry gulped, having no other option, and soon grabbed the stranger's hand and was pulled onto the stranger's horse before suddenly stopping and the perky goth grunted as she fell on the ground. "Whoa... You saved my life..." she said wearily.
"Are you all right?'" The stranger asked.
"Yes... But I think I may never ride a horse or go on another adventure like this ever again." Cherry replied.
"Nonsense. The only way to overcome fear is to face it," The stranger scoffed before removing their mask, showing a rather feminine face with long dark hair and almond eyes, smiling warmly down at the perky goth, revealing to be a woman. "If I hadn't overcome my fears, I would've lost the war and Lancelot never would've trusted me."
"...You seem familiar somehow." Cherry said as she looked at the woman curiously.
"...Really?" asked the mysterious woman.
"Yeah..." Cherry nodded. "What is your name?"
"Mulan," The woman replied. "Hua Mulan."
"No way..." Cherry whispered to herself in amazement.
"Cherry!" The others called out as they were riding over on their own horses.
Cherry looked over before waving. "Guys!" she then called out.
"Oh, Cherry," Atticus smiled, relieved. "Thank goodness you're okay."
"Yeah," Cherry nodded. "Though I had a little help. This... Would be Mulan."
"Mulan?" The others asked, a bit shocked and surprised.
"Pleasure to meet you," Mulan replied, not understanding their surprised reactions at first. "Yes, I know, I'm a woman, but I'm not going to let that stop me, especially since I fight for something worth fighting for, especially in protecting those who I'm assigned to from my boss, Sir Lancelot."
The others smiled sheepishly as that wasn't why they were surprised, but didn't say anything.
"I was summoned to help Lord Norinaga during this terrible war, so I left my home in China and came as quickly as I could," Mulan then told them. "You don't seem to be from around here either."
"You'd be right about that," Lionel replied. "We're on a mission to help find our friend, and get everyone back to where they're needed."
"So I see," Mulan nodded. "I won't get in your way, but I think that you could probably use a little help."
"That might be a good idea," Atticus smiled knowingly. "Would you mind helping us, Mulan?"
"Not at all," Mulan smiled back. "I've slain worse beasts than those rebels in Norinaga's home, so it would be my greatest honor to help you all in our shared journey."
"All right! Teaming up with Mulan!" Cherry approved, giving herself a high-five.
"Sweet!" Lionel replied.
"Now if only we could find Michelangelo." Atticus then said.
"A friend of yours?" Mulan guessed.
"Well... Yeah, more or less," Cherry nodded. "You haven't happened to had seen anyone else go haywire on a runaway horse, did you?"
"I'm afraid I haven't, but I can help you look for him if you would like my help." Mulan replied calmly.
"It would be most appreciated." Atticus told her.
"All right, let's go find this friend of yours," Mulan replied before facing Cherry. "Until you learn how to properly ride, I think you should ride my horse with me for the time being."
"Uh... Yes... Yes, ma'am..." Cherry nodded bashfully.
Everyone else soon got themselves ready as needed on their own horses.
"Khan! Yídòng!" Mulan called as she put her mask back on, tightening the reins on her horse once they were settled as Cherry hugged Mulan's waist to be secure.
And so, Mulan's horse neighed before riding off with her and the others following so that they could go and find Mikey.
MEANWHILE...
"Good horsey! Good horsey!" Mikey said nervously before his helmet came down, covering his eyes. "Who turned out the lights? I think I saw this on 'Bonanza' once." he then said, still riding on his horse on the wrong side.
Someone was hiding in the tree and suddenly whacked Mikey with the branch in her hand, sending the turtle right off of his horse and he fell flat on the ground and The Time Scepter went flying in the air before landing on the ground next. The stranger who clubbed Mikey came out of hiding to check out the situation, as several others arrived. As they got a good look at Mikey, his helmet fell off, revealing his face.
"Kappa...!" exclaimed one of the others, as the strange woman drew a knife.
Mikey just let out a groan, and collapsed. The woman then spoke to the ones all around her. The group gathered around the fallen turtle, keeping a close eye on him as they joined her sides. Once gathered around at a safe distance, the people soon crowded Mikey, picking him up, and got ready to go and take him away. The woman soon found the Time Scepter and decided to collect it as well before they left the scene.
Meanwhile, Mulan and the others continued to travel a bit.
"I just hope we can find Michelangelo and April." Cherry said.
"Same here." Mo and Patch agreed.
"Is April one of your lost loves?" Mulan asked the group.
"Uh... Well... Not mine anyway..." Cherry replied bashfully.
"Believe me... I've felt the pain and burden of a lost love," Mulan replied before looking away as a tear rolled down her cheek. "There was someone I felt very close to and would do anything to protect that person... Keeping that poor, innocent soul by my side and never let that person get hurt... But alas, as they say, if you truly love someone, you should let them be set free... No matter how painful it is on the inside for your end before you can say anything meaningful." she then said, heaving a shaky sigh as something from her past still hurt her when she talked about love.
"We're sorry you had to endure that." said Patch.
"Yeah." Atticus nodded.
"It's all right," Mulan said before deeply sighing. "I just regret I never got to express my feelings sooner and I know that those two will be happier with each other than with me getting involved. That moment hurt worse than any battle scars that people like Shan Yu or Yaoguai could ever mark on me."
The others frowned as they felt a little bad for Mulan.
"Now come along," Mulan then said. "I'll help get you back to your friends."
"Right!" Lionel declared. "Let's boogaloo!"
"Boogaloo?" Mulan asked out of confusion.
"Just another way to say let's get out of here." Cherry replied.
"Well... Okay." Mulan then said before shrugging.
They walked around for a bit before they soon found three familiar faces.
"Hey! Guys!" Cherry called out.
The three strangers turned around, but were then shown to be the three Ninja Turtles.
"I thought that was you!" Cherry smirked.
"Ah... Hey, guys," Raph replied. "You haven't seen Mikey around, have ya?"
"No, sorry," Cherry said. "I guess he's still missing, but we found some extra help."
"This is Mulan," said Lionel. "And she's gonna lend a hand!"
Mulan nodded and waved her hand.
"Oh, uh, cool," Raph replied. "We might need all the help that we can get."
"Hopefully we can find your brother soon," Cherry suggested. "Surely we can get through. Especially since you're replaced as Norinaga's Honor Guards."
"His palace is up ahead," Mulan told them as she pointed over. "Just blend in and maybe we can find someone else you know, also, don't tell them that I'm a woman. I hope you understand." she then said as she put her face-concealing mask back on which made her voice deeper so she would be convincing as a male soldier.
"Got it." Lionel replied as he proceeded to disguise himself and the others as samurai guards.
"Keep going," Mulan nodded. "We're almost there."
They soon came along as it was starting to get dark while Mulan disguised herself, but someone like Lord Norinaga would know who she was by her secret identity. Many others were walking along the royal grounds and luckily, no one saw anything suspicious so far.
"So far this disguise has worked, but we're turtles and a bunch of kids, not Honor Guards." Leo said to the others.
"Thanks for pointing that out, Leonardo," Cherry spoke up. "That would explain the large shell on your backs."
"Well, you don't have to be so sarcastic." Leo complained to her.
"Well, I'm sorry, Leonardo, but that's my nature." Cherry retorted.
"Hey, I kinda like this girl." Raph chuckled.
"You would." Leo remarked, rolling his eyes.
The other Honor Guards soon walked in or rode in on horseback.
"You see, Walker, we do not need your help," Lord Norinaga said to the visitor into his land. "We're victorious without your guns. Today my Honor Guard carried my own secret weapon."
"Really? Well, that's very good news." Walker replied.
"And what of the help you asked from China?" Kintarō asked the man in charge.
"That will be different," Norinaga replied. "The Great Warrior of China has slain beasts from many lands and is unstoppable. Perhaps I could make a proposition with him to stay with us rather than go back home after the war is over."
"If we'll survive if we keep going about it your way." Kintarō murmured a bit.
Norinaga took a look around, though noticed something missing. "Where are my Honor Guards?" he then asked, looking around before finding one man from the crowd and pointed at him sharply. "YOU! Murata, find my Honor Guards! Yes! Now! Right away!"
Murata bowed to him and soon walked off before he soon looked around and found the group. "You! Come here. Now!" he then demanded.
"You think he's talking to us?" Attucus asked the others in his group.
"No, I think he's talking to the other group dressed as Honor Guards." Cherry snarked before they came to see Murata.
"I told you these outfits would get us into trouble." Raph grumbled as they followed after Murata.
"Let's go. Blend in." Donny said tothe others.
"Yeah, right." Raph snorted.
"This is it," Mulan told the group. "Don't show any sign of weakness."
"Right." The others nodded, as they headed down the hall to the meeting room.
Mulan nodded to them as she walked with them.
"They're coming!" Murata called out. "They're behind the wagon!"
"Step aside!" Lord Norinaga commanded.
The wagon was soon brought in by different men, though the Turtles and the adventure group were nowhere to be found.
"Where are they?" Murata asked before looking nervous. "Uh-oh..."
"Go! Idiot!" Lord Norinaga glared sharply.
"Hai!" Murata replied, bowing respectively before dashing off, then called out to the other men.
"It's very impressive, my lord." Walker said to Lord Norinaga.
"This is very bad." Lord Norinaga muttered before running off.
