To the End of the Shinobis!
Chapter XVIII: Flashes and Feelings
By: Michelle
Dragon Lord and Tashina awaited for the return of the Rank.
"They will be here shortly, brother. Have alittle faith in me." Tashina assured her brother.
"They had better." He replied to her.
Moments later, the doors to the throne room were opened. Kurai came in holding his head up high. Members of the Rank came in after him, carrying Venus and Raphael.
"My Lord." Kurai bowed and stepped aside as the Rank left Venus and Raphael for the Dragon Lord.
Dragon Lord stood up and walked down from his throne and observed the two unconscious turtles. "Well done."
Tashina walked down and joined him. She awaited his approval.
Dragon Lord knew what she wanted. "You have my permission, Kurai, to take my sister as your wife." He watched as to two met and kissed one another.

"What is that Donnie?" Leonardo questioned even though he knew what it was.
"It's a small needle. I'm not sure what it contains." Donatello observed the needle closer. "It looks like it contents weren't completely injected."
"Do you know what its contents were?"
"It's hard to tell. I'll have to analyze it at the lab." Donatello answered his brother.
Leonardo sighed. What if it was a poison? They didn't have time to waste if it was. "What ever it is, it was probably used on Raph and Venus? We can't just stand around here all day."
"I need to get to the lab. I want to check it out." Donatello insisted. "Plus I made some maps of the Dragon Lord building. That's where the Rank have taken them." Donatello pointed out on his Eye in the Sky.
"OK. Me and you will go back to the lair to get the maps, find out what this thing is, and tell Splinter." Leonardo insisted.
"What about us?" Michaelangelo asked.
"You and Mondo take the boards and head to the Dragon Lord's place." Leonardo instructed. "Wait outside and see if you can spot Venus or Raph through one of the windows." Leonardo pulled two binoculars out of the Hummer. "We will meet you across the street from the building."
"OK." Michaelangelo replied taking the binoculars from his brother.
*****************************************
Dragon Lord paced around Venus and Raphael while his sister and the Rank leader held each other tight. Finally, the Shinobi clan would end he thought to himself.
"Tashina." Dragon Lord called for his sister as he crouched down in-between Venus and Raphael.
"Yes." Tashina broke apart from her lover and stood in front of him.
Dragon Lord grabbed Venus' hand and Raphael's hand and stood up. "Show me their future if they were to live."
"You are too weak for this task you ask me." Tashina worried. "It is best not to use magic with your ill condition."
"I said SHOW ME." He growled at her.
"If you insist, My Lord" She grabbed on her brother's hands which held Raphael's and Venus'. Then, she began to chant.
**********************************************
"Do you see anything?" Michaelangelo asked Mondo Gecko.
"Nope, most of the windows are shut."
"Let's move to another spot." Michaelangelo suggested.
They moved further down and looked into an open window.
"I see them." Mondo announced.
"Where?"
"Here." Mondo Gecko helped Michaelangelo find the window he was looking in.
The two observed the Dragon Lord and Tashina holding hands together and holding Raphael and Venus' hands.
"What the?"
***********************************
"Hurry up Donnie!" Leonardo shouted after he told Splinter what happen. Splinter and Leonardo walked into the lab.
"Got it." Donatello announced. "It's a sleeping potion."
Thank the gods Splinter thought to himself. "My sons, I fear you must hurry."
"We are sensei. I feel it to." Leonardo told Splinter. "Donnie you got the maps?"
"Hold on." Donatello walked over to his computer and grabbed all the maps on his desk except one. He looked down at the one he missed. It was the floor which held the Dragon Lord's bedroom. He stood there and studied it.
"Come on Donnie." Leonardo rushed over to him. "What's the hold up?"
"I have an idea." Donatello looked up at Leonardo then back down at the map. He grabbed it "Let's go."
"What's your idea?"
"I'll tell you when we meet Mikey and Mondo."
The two rushed out the lair and headed towards the Dragon Lord's place.
*******************************************
Dragon Lord began to chant along with his sister. He felt his energy drain from his body as he saw the flashes.
R
youth
red bandanna turtle
powerful in the ways of the Shinobis
himself
his body lay motionless on the ground
death filled the air
Dragon Lord could no longer withstand the drain of energy from his body. He broke apart from his sister and fell to the floor.
"Majesty." Kurai rushed to his lord's side.
"Ryu." Tashina joined him at his side.
Dragon Lord looked around the room. Everything was spinning. These flashes, he thought to himself. What did they mean? He sat up and began to relax.
"I told you, Ryu, that this wasn't a good idea, especially in your condition." Tashina said as she and Kurai helped him to him to his throne.
He sat on his throne for a few minutes in silence as he waited for his strength to return. He looked at Raphael's motionless body on the floor. Could the Shinobi be teaching him to become a shaman? He couldn't risk that chance.
"Kill him." The Dragon Lord said to Kurai. He was unaware that Dr. Quease was hiding in the shadows.
Kurai took an ax displayed on the walls and walked over to Raphael. He raised the ax ready to slice his head off.
"WAIT!" The wacky doctor cried.
Dragon Lord turned with anger. Who dare challenge his orders? He then watched Dr. Quease come out of his hiding spot.
"My lord." Dr. Quease dared. "You promised me that once the two were captured that I may have the male for experimentations."
Dragon Lord snarled. He did promise Dr. Quease one of the turtles for dissection. "Fine. You may have him, but I want him dead before you start your experiments."
"But..."
"No buts. I want him dead."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Dr. Quease replied. The turtle will be dead, but after the experimentations, he thought to himself.
Dragon Lord signaled for the Rank to bring Raphael to the Quease's lab.
"I don't trust him." Tashina said as she watched Dr., Quease leave. "You must kill the human."
*****************************************
When Donatello and Leonardo met up with Michaelangelo and Mondo Gecko, they heard everything that went on.
"They were holding hands."
"They were chanting or something."
"Then, Dragon Lord fell to the ground."
"Some dragons helped him to the throne."
"Raphael almost got his head chopped off."
"Then some weirdo human stopped him."
"It was Dr. Quease."
"Then, he and some dragons took Raph somewhere."
Leonardo heard enough of Mikey and Mondo's tale. "Alright." He paused. "Donnie, can you tell me where Raph is."
"He's in Dr. Quease's lab. Venus is in the throne room."
Leonardo sighed. He knew they had do get in the Dragon Lord place. But how? What about the idea Donatello said he had. "Donatello. In the lair you told me you had an idea."
"OH, yes." Donatello remembered. "I was thinking we enter through the Dragon Lord's room."
The two turtles and the lizard looked at him as if he was insane.
"Let me explain." Donatello said as he pulled out the map.
