Chapter VIII: Studies

Donatello got on his computer after practice.
"Let's see what the Dragon Lord is up to." He said as he pulled up his 'Turtlefied Eye in the Sky'. "Kinda quiet. Let's get a population count."
Donatello looked carefully at the number on the screen. "Population of 92." He looked again. "That can't be right. Maybe it miss counted, it should be 91 like yesterday."
"92 again." Donatello stared at the screen and thought to himself. He picked up his journal and looked at all the records he had on the dragons.
-----September 22, 1997------38
-----December 16, 1997-------43
-----February 19, 1998---------49
-----June 23, 1998-------------52
------October 7, 1998----------55
------January 30, 1999---------61
------May 3, 1999-------------65
------August 28, 1999---------67
------November 13, 1999------72
------March 8, 2000-----------78
------June 7, 2000-------------81
------October 3, 2000---------91
------October 4, 2000---------91
------October 5, 2000---------91
Donatello looked over his records and back to the screen. The dragons were increasing in population. How could he have missed it?
"LEO!"

After Venus finished her talk with Splinter, she returned to her room. She sat down on a mat in the corner of her room and began to meditate.
It was hard for her to concentrate though. Raphael was out and it worried her. She couldn't keep her mind off of him. She knew this was not necessarily a good thing. Being so much with Raphael was causing her to lack in her studies.
She pulled out one of her scrolls and began to look over it. It was old and very delicate. She read the symbols; it was the story of the Rise and Fall of the Dragon Lord.
*******************************
Raphael parked his bike in the garage and began to make his way home. He had been pressuring Venus lately, but he didn't mean to. It was hard for them not to resist one another. Venus was obviously stronger at this than he was.
He thought about what Splinter had said about slowing down their relationship because he feared the Dragon Lord was up to something. Splinter was always right. He wonder what caused this feeling.
*******************************
Dragon Lord sat on his throne and looked carefully at his daughter. What did she do now?
Obviously something in her studies he thought as he glanced over to her tutor.
"My lord," The tutor approached him. "Your daughter constantly disrupts my teachings and continuously argues with me. First...."
The Dragon Lord interrupted her and turned to his daughter Kat. "Kat" His daughter looked him strait in the eye. "What did you do?"
"Alls I said was that it is foolish to learn a language that is no longer used."
Dragon Lord sighed. He felt a headache coming on. "I want you to learn every dialect of Chinese, the English language, and the languages of the clans of Asia."
Kat rolled her eyes. "I still don't see why." She began to get an attitude. "I can see why we must learn English. It is the language of this country. I see why we have to learn some dialects of Chinese. BUT, I don't see why we have to learn the language of the clans of Asia."
"Because I said so and you will do what I say."
"Father, the clans of Asia no longer exist. Why should I have to learn their language? They are dead and so is their language. Its pointless."
"Lao chi. San shirei kinalachu." Dragon Lord said to his daughter.
"What?" She looked at him in confusion.
"If you would learn the language, you would know." Dragon Lord thought for a moment. "The Shinobi would know."
"The Shinobi. That's what this was about." She threw her hands up in the air. "It's always about the Shinobi."
Kat stormed up to her room and Dragon Lord was ready to follow after to beat the shit out of her. Before he could get up from the throne, he was stopped by the tutor.
*******************************
"LEO!"
Leonardo raced in the room. "What? What happened?"
"Look at this."
Leonardo looked over Donatello's records of the dragons. "Yeah, so."
"Look again." Donatello pointed to the rising numbers. "The dragons are rising in number."
Leonardo looked at the records again. Donatello was right. He sat down. How could they not have noticed? But they did. They did notice it. The Rank they fought was larger than what they first encountered over 3 years ago.
