To the End of the Shinobis!
Chapter XIII: The Lesser of Two Evils

By: Michelle



Splinter looked around at his pupils. He had to give them a warning. "If the Dragon Lord is bringing together an army, he will soon strike."

"But, why bring one member out every few days." Donatello questioned.

"You haven't noticed this until now." The wise old rat replied.

"Yeah, but..."

"That is why." Splinter knew he had to tell them. "This morning I felt a disturbance that awoke me."

"What type of disterbance sensei?" leonardo asked.

Venus and Raphael looked at Splinter. They hoped he didn't mean them.

"A feeling of evil entering the world." Splinter looked at Venus and Raphael who had panicking looks on their faces. "I felt it this morning and when you and Donatello told me about the situation at hand."

Venus and Raphael sighed with relief.

"I also saw a vision. It was of the Dragon Lrod and a female dragon."

Venus knew what Splinter was going to be leading into.

"The female dragon was purely evil, but she seemed to be the lesser of the two evils. They walked side by side. Nearly everything in their path was destroyed." Splinter twitched his nose. "I fear that if this dragon is reunited with the Dragon Lord, the consequences will be disasteous."

"You mean if they mate or whatever dragons do to have babies or whatnot." Michaelangelo asked with curiousity.

Venus answered him. "That's impossible. They can't mate. They would not be able to have offspring."

"Why?"

"I think Splinter saw Dragon Lord's sister." Venus responded.

"Teh Dragon Lord has a sister." Leonardo was surprised to hear that.

"Yes. He also has a son and three daughters."

Splinter was surprised on how much Venus had learned about the dragons without his help. "Where did you learn this from Venus?"

"From my scrolls."

"May I please see them."

"Yes." Venus jumped up and gather the scrolls from her room.

Tashina sat and thought. Another vision came to her. She smiled at what she saw. She saw her new enemies in the park and riding around the city. Obviously, they had not taken their master's device.

Out of all of them, she could see Mei Pieh clearly. She knew their was something about her getting close to her lover that made her worry. She wanted to know. She needed to know. If only she could get closer.

It was hard for her to predict sometimes, especially if she didn't know what she was looking for. For instace, when she walked by her niece, Kat, she saw her brother throw her out the door of the palace. It would be less than a year when this would happen.

If she could see Mei Pieh and her lover in person, she could definetly she their future together. It was the only way.

After Venus explain to them the meanings of her scrolls, Splinter gave them all a warning. "I would prefer it best, not for any of you to go out tonight."

They all looked around with disappointed looks on their faces. They all agreed it was best to listen to their master's orders and never tried to argue.

Michaelangelo went back to his room. He wasn't going to stay in tonight. He and Mondo Gecko had a show to do. He thought to himself. Besides, his fans needed him.

Raphael and Venus walked into the practice room. They needed to talk, but they didn't want an audience. They both secretly agreed that they were going to go out anyway to talk together.

Leonardo went back to his room and picked up a book to read. He knew some of his brothers weren't going to listen to Splinter's orders. He thought to himself, 'Guess, I'm gonna have to keep track of them toninght.'

Doantello went back into the lab. All that talk about majic mirrors and spells gave him a headache. He sat at his computer and decide to keep researching the dragons. Maybe he could map out the building they lived in. That would be a great advantaage one day to have a map of the building.
