AND SO…
Chapter 2: The legend
"This is terrible!" Ron exclaimed, as he looked into the sand where the message was written.
"You're right." Kim agreed. "Sensai and Yori might be in trouble."
"No, no that…" Ron muttered, as he picked up the Ketchup bottle. "We're out of Ketchup!"
Kim sighed as she picked up the Kimmunicator. She hit a button, and Wades face appeared on the screen.
"Kim?" He asked curiously.
"Hey, remember how you said you needed something to do?" Kim asked him.
"Yeah?"
"Well, we kinda need a ride to Japan…"

"Thanks for the ride, Mrs. Winchest!" Kim told the female balloonist as she steered the Hot-Air Balloon towards the ground.
"Oh, it was no problem at all, Kim!" Mrs. Winchest replied. "After you refilled my Balloon with air just as we were about to sail into those mountains!"
"It was no big." Kim shrugged it off. "It's really not that hard to do if you have a portable Hair-dryer! And besides it's not as if I was doing it in a hurricane."
"You're right, it was a hailstorm." Ron pointed out.
The Balloon hit the ground at the base of Mount Yamanuchi, and they got out. "Bye, kids!" They heard Mrs. Winchests voice fly away in the distance, as they waved. When she finally became nothing more than a speck in the sky, Ron turned to Kim.
"Can you handle a long journey up a tall mountain, Kim?" Ron asked with a playful smirk. "Or do I have to carry you up?"
"Not that I'm against the idea," Kim smiled slightly, handing Ron a Back-Pack. "Because truly, I would pay big money to see you carry me up a two hour climb." Suddenly, the pack she had on burst open, and a portable Jet-pack replaced it. "But I think that we could get up there faster if we used these."
Ron gazed at the his own pack, and suddenly his eyes widened, knowing what was coming next. The pack in his hands exploded, and the force of the blast sent him falling to the ground.
"Probably." Ron responded, still laying on the ground.
Kim laughed, and ignited the Jet-pack. She expertly controlled it, and hovered overtop of her boyfriend, emerald eyes sparkling playfully. "Race you to the top?"
Ron sat up, eager for the challenge. "You know it." He said, and ignited his own pack.

"I win!" Kim yelled out victoriously, as she reached the top of the mountain. Ron came sputtering after, with quite a large bump on his head.
"Yeah, well…" Ron rubbed the bump on his head. "If that tree hadn't been there, I probably would have smoked you."
Kim laughed, and looked at the secret Ninja school that Ron and Yori had talked about a long time ago.
It was not what she expected to see.
The once beautiful Yamanuchi school was now in ruins. The great walls had been crumbled, and buildings had been reduced to rubble. The only building that remained standing in perfect condition was…
The meditating room.
She heard Ron gasp behind her, and without another word, took off towards the school, as Kim followed.
The two landed in the center of the school grounds, and, with Ron taking the lead, charged inside the meditating room.
Nothing could prepare them for what they saw.
Sensai himself was lying on the ground, heavily injured by some sort of unknown weapon. And Rons Japanese friend, Yori, was sitting beside him in tears.
Yori looked at them when they ran in, and a ray of hope shone across her face. "Stoppable San!" She cried, and looked over to Kim. "Possible Chan! Sensai- Sensai is…"
Ron wasted no time. He walked over to the wise old man, with tears in his eyes. "Sensai…" He whispered.
"Stoppable San…" Sensai replied weakly, turning to face Ron.
Ron took a look at his injured elder, and then looked back at Yori. "What happened here?" He asked.
"It- It was Monkey Fist." Yori sobbed. "He attacked the school… And he had…"
"The Staff."
Everyone turned to look at Sensai. "He had… The Staff." He continued. "It… It is as we feared, Yori. The Prophecy… It is… coming true..."
For some strange reason, Yori looked horrified. "Sensai, it can't be!" She cried.
"Yori… You need to show them… The legend…" Sensai was growing weaker by the second. "Do not hesitate."
The girl looked reluctant, but obeyed nonetheless. She shook as she picked out a book from the shelf behind them, and turned to the middle of it. Inside, there were two loose pages full of words, and Yori, with a shaking hand, took them out, and handed them to Ron to read. Kim looked over his shoulder to read as well, with a sick feeling in her gut.
The Lotus Legend
A long time ago, there lived a native Tribe. The Lotus, as they called themselves, were a peaceful Tribe; They did not believe in hate or violence. This Pride was almost the death of them. One day, their village was raided, and the Lotus, with no weapons to defend themselves, had no choice but to hide, and watch their lives being taken away before them Once the raiders had left, after they burned down the village, the Lotus changed. They rebuilt their village almost to the exact detail it was before it was destroyed, but this time, four representatives were chosen: Two men, a woman, and the smartest animal in their tribe, an animal which we now call a mole rat .The representatives were trained into warriors, and at the height of their training, a magical weapon of great power was givin to each. The Lotus Blade, with the power of Transformation, was givin to the younger man, for he had a good heart, and was trusted that he would not transform the Blade into something that could be used for evil. The Lotus Mace, imbued with the power of Strength, was givin to the woman, for she had a strong heat, and was a born leader. The Lotus Claws, encrusted with the power of speed, was givin to the mole rat, for his quick thinking and agility. And finally, the Lotus Staff, with the power of invisibility, was givin to the eldest man, for he was always in the shadows, and kept to himself. These four chosen ones were the protectors of the Tribe, and together, with the Sacred weapons of the Lotus, conquered any evil that threatened them. But after every passing fight against evil, the eldest man, the keeper of the Lotus Staff, was challenged by the darkness, and finally, after a particular exhausting fight, he cracked, and started using the Lotus Staff for evil. Reluctantly, the three other heroes had no choice but to fight the older man. The eldest man, however, had gone insane; He began destroying the village he once used to protect. There was a ferocious battle, but in the end, the three heroes, exhausted, finally combined the powers of good together. The man and the woman crossed their weapons together, and the mole rat, equipped with the Claws of the Lotus, jumped on top of the fused blades. It is said that a brilliant white beam of light encircled the eldest man, and, before he was sent into the an unknown realm, he vowed revenge on the three heroes, no matter what, and a second later, he disappeared, and the Lotus Staff clattered to the ground. The village was saved, and the Tribe begged the heroes to stay, but, shamed by their failure to protect the village they loved, denied, and left the village without another word, bringing the Lotus Weapons with them.The Lotus Tribe took the Lotus Staff, and hid it in the most remote location they knew, praying that it would never see the light of day again. The three heroes, however, were never seen again, but it is said that the woman and the rat died of natural illness's, and the man with the Lotus Blade hid their weapons, while, at the same time, carved a vast monastery out of a mountain using only the Blade itself, and there, he built a secret training school for young Ninjas, in memory of his lost friends. Finally, with his work done, he placed the Lotus Blade under the guard of the school, awaiting its new master. He then disappeared forever, and as for the remaining Lotus Weapons…
They are presumed lost.
Ron read the legend with a heavy heart, almost already knowing the truth. He turned to Kim, her face white, and they both looked at Sensai and Yori.
"You must know what this means, Stoppable San." Sensai whispered to him, and he nodded grimly, and turned to Kim.
"Kim." She looked at him silently. "Listen to me." He continued. "If you don't want to be a part of this, then I won't stop you, because I do know what this means, and I'm sure you do, too."
Kim gaped at him.
"Are you serious?" She asked increduesly.
Ron looked confused, and Kim slapped her forehead.
"If this is as bad as we think it is, then there is no way I am letting you go this alone!" She exclaimed. "This is big, Ron. We're in this together, just like everything else we've been in. I am not backing out, and if this is what we have to do, then so be it." She looked him straight in the eye. "I'm here to stay, so deal with it."
Ron looked back at his girlfriend lovingly. "Alright, Kim." He turned to Sensai. "What is it we have to do, Sensai?" He asked.
"First, find the weapons." The wise old man coughed. "Before Monkey Fist does. If he finds the weapons first, then there is not much hope." He coughed again, his strength draining. "And to you, Yori…" He looked at his apprentice. "Help them. They have a long, difficult road ahead of them, and they will need all the help they can get."
Yori nodded. "I will, Sensai."
"Good." Sensai closed his eyes. "Now… Make an old mans wishes… Come true…"
And the last of the old mans strength finally left him.
Yori burst into tears, and Kim turned away, trying to hide her own tears. Ron, however, fell to his knees, tears rolling down his face.
"They will, Sensai." He whispered. "They will."
I know I'm rushing into things, and it doesn't make all that much sense, but it'll be easier to understand in the next few chapters. R&R.
