The TMNT and tmnt-related characters are all property of Peter Laird, Kevin
Eastman, and Mirage Studios. I do not claim to own them and am only writing
a fanfic containing their characters. Any additional characters are
completely original and my own creations. Please review and give me
your comments on the new chapter and thanks for reading.
Now You know
"Hey, Raph what are you doing here?"
Raph turned and finally saw that John had been standing there for a while.
"Oh, John what's up? I've been over here doing nothing most day really. I was bored so I came here to grind and ride. What are you doing down in the sewers anyway?"
"I need you to take me to the lair to talk to you and the others about something big."
They walked to the lair and silence and saw that Donatello, Michelangelo, and Leonardo weren't doing much. Don, who had just got up from his workbench, noticed John and Raph first.
"Hi, John how are you doing and what brings you to our humble abode."
"I'm fine, but I need to speak to you all."
Hearing this Leo and Mikey stopped what they were doing and came right over.
"Ok so what's going on?" Leo asked.
"The Black Lotus is beginning to recruit again."
"Is that really such a big deal?" Mikey broached.
"It just seems weird to me that they would start anything up again so soon after we took out their top men, they should still be licking their wounds now not taking action."
"What do you think caused them started recruiting?" Don probed.
"There are most likely only two reasons, the first is that they may have concocted a plan to defeat us or have someone who can beat us. They probably have some reason not to worry about us, because they would have stayed in hiding longer if they hadn't improved since the last time we fought. My second guess would be that a leader gave directions to begin recruiting, so Kagemi Ryu is probably back."
"Damn, I thought we broke up the Lotus for good." Mikey said.
"If the Black Lotus is growing stronger we will have to be wary," Leo warned.
"This isn't good for the students at my dojo either..."
"We have an even bigger worry than their strength, I mean with John on our side now, how are we gonna find the Black Lotus command center this time?" Donatello asked.
"We will just have to wait until we get some clues to help us." Leonardo said.
"All right I'm going to head home, if I hear anything new I'll let you know."
"Hey, John wait. Take this with you." Don said.
He went over to his workbench and grabbed his latest invention. John looked at, but didn't understand what it was for.
"What is it?"
"It's a portable communication that allows instantaneous contact among anyone else who has one. I've only got two done so far, but the rest should be ready sometime soon. It can also be used as a telephone or radio and can even be used to search the Internet. Also it's equipped with a tracer and can self-destruct if needed. Use it to call us with any info that isn't worth a trip here."
"Thanks, Don I really appreciate it."
"No prob."
"Uh, by the way what is it called anyway?"
"I call it the S-Link, that's is short for Sewer Link.
As John walked away with his S-Link the turtles noticed that there sensei had been standing there listening.
"Sensei, how long have you been standing there?" Don asked as he and the others bowed.
"Long enough to hear everything. I had suspected that an evil as great as the Black Lotus would not be defeated so easily. The Black Lotus may be even more of a threat now than they were before, after all a wounded fox is more dangerous than a jackal. You will need to trust in your skills in order to stop the evil influence the Lotus are attempting to gain on the youth. However you should not let thoughts of the Black Lotus predominate your sleep. Rest well my sons you have a long road ahead of you."
