Michaelangelo, Mondo Gecko, and Mai Li ran towards Raphael and Venus, when they were stopped by Tashina.

"Where do you think you're going?" Tashina created two balls of fire in the palms of her hands.

"Shit." Michaelangelo exclaimed as the three dove to the floor to dodge the fiery blast.

Dragon Lord gave his son and the Rank warriors an evil look. He watched as three fearful dragons switched to his side.

"That's right my warriors. Join me and be free. Stay with Bitoku and you will all be tried for treason." Dragon Lord growled.

To Bitoku's surprise, the rest of the Rank betrayed him because of their fear of the Dragon Lord. Dragon Lord opened a gateway to his palace and sent them to Kurai.

Dragon Lord's sword flew back into his hand. "You want to challenge ME. SO BE IT." He yelled as he attacked his son.

****************************************

Raphael and Venus saw that the Dragon Lord was distracted.

"We need to get free while we can." Raphael began to fight with the bonds again.

Venus began to fight, but she knew it was no use. "There is no way we can get free."

"Can't you use a spell or something?" Raphael questioned. "I don't know any to over power Dragon Lord's spell."

"There must be some way to get free."

Donatello handed Leonardo his tracker. He snuck up behind the invisible intruder and swung hoping her would hit the attacker.

Kat felt something hit her on the back and she fell on the floor. She lost all her concentration, making her visible to Leonardo, Donatello, and Splinter.

She felt the spot on her back where Donatello hit her. It hurt like hell as she stood up to face them.

Donatello spun his bo around and got in a fighting stance.
