Ok. I don't if you're meant to do disclaimer on every chapter but I haven't done it since the first one so I guess I'd better redo it. Disclaimer: I don't own the 3 ninjas or Grandpa. Wish I did. Kira's mine tho. (

In the lair of the mutiny

"Is the port hole ready? Are you sure you've got the details right? Well you'd better be sure or it's your head that will pay the price!"

"Yes sir, I mean, my lord."

"And make sure the guards are stationed correctly and that they know what they are doing."

"Yes my lord."

"Good. We open the porthole in 5 minutes. Dismissed."

The gong rang through the still night and the pairs sprang into action.

Colt waved the flashlight around, trying to find their first clue while Kira stood on guard. A triumphant 'yes' from Colt told her that he had found the clue. He shoved a piece of paper under her nose. 'In summer I dress in the finest of robes but in winter I am stripped bare.'

Colt snorted. "What kind of clue is that?!"

Kira shrugged. "Beats me."

They stared blankly at the clue, wondering what on earth it meant. Suddenly, a yell split the air. Colt jumped violently and Kira froze, eyes wide. After a few minutes, silence was restored.

"What on earth was that?"

"I don't know. It didn't sound good anyway."

"Oh, you think?"

"Yea, I think. You don't though."

Colt looked at Kira in surprise. No one had ever smart mouthed him back like that. "I don't what?"

"Think. I think, you don't." Kira grinned mischievously at him, before bursting into laughter at Colt's face. "Humph, let's get going anyway."

The gong rang through the night and the pairs sprang into action.

Tum Tum sucked on a twizzler while Rocky squinted into the darkness, trying to see the other pair.

"Tum Tum, I'm going up the tree to get a better view."

"Ok, I'm coming up with you."

"Fine, but be quiet."

The two clambered up the tree swiftly and silently, When they reached a decent height Rocky found a good look out spot and stood ready. Tum Tum sat on a lump in the tree and digged in his pocket for more food.

"Rats, I dropped my twizzler." Tum Tum stuck his hand underneath and groped for his twizzler. All of a sudden he felt a brass buckle. "Hey! I think I found something."

"Tum Tum!"

"I felt a brass buckle and-"

"You what?"

"I felt a brass bu-"

Rocky jumped over to where Tum Tum was sitting and brushed away the branches. When he saw the chest his eyes lit up. "You found it Tum! You found the chest! Now all we have to do is wait for them."

"Cool! Can I open them and see what the weapons are?"

"No, we have to wait."

"Please."

"Oh alright. Just a peek."

"Cool."

Tum Tum fumbled with the buckles and heaved the heavy lid open. Rocky looked over his shoulder but instead of the expected weapons he saw a murky something whirling inside. Tum Tum looked confused but he stuck in his hand and let out an ear-shattering yell. "ROCKY!" Rocky grabbed onto Tum Tum's arm but felt himself being drawn in. He grunted at tried to pull harder. All of a sudden the chest gave mighty heave and they were both pulled in and the chest snapped shut.
