Chapter 12.
Meeting Prince Shelldon
Later on as it became night time, Leonardo was in the forest with just his cat Felix. He was thinking about what Lloyd said earlier, and this was the first time it bothered him. He then scratched the back of Felix's neck in thought.
"Meow?" meowed Felix.
"Sorry, Felix," Leonardo said to him. "I'm just thinking about what Lloyd said today...that something's gonna happen."
"Meow?" meowed Felix asking "like what?".
"He doesn't know; just...something bad," said Leonardo.
Suddenly there came the sound of crashing footsteps from somewhere deep in the forest.
"What the hey?" Leonardo cried, jumping to his feet.
The footsteps came closer and closer and Felix started hissing and growling.
"Something's coming; better go hero," said Leonardo.
But before he could, a figure came into view, it was the dark brown cloaked figure that had spied on Leonardo, Spike and Lloyd earlier and when he saw Leonardo, he bowed and said:
"Greetings Leonardo."
"Sorry, but...Do I...know you?" Leonardo asked.
"No you don't but I know you, Tony, Spike, Marianne, Lloyd, Echo and Amy," the Cloaked Figure replied.
"What do you want from me?" Leonardo asked.
"Nothing. Where is Tony, Echo, Spike, Marianne, Lloyd and Amy?" asked the Cloaked Figure.
"They're at the Anibenbow Inn where me and my cat Felix live with my parents," said Leonardo.
"Take me to them please because I have something very important to tell the seven of you," said the Cloaked Figure.
"Alright," he replied, wanting answers.
At the Anibenbow Inn Tony, Spike, Marianne, Lloyd, Echo and Amy were waiting for Leonardo and Felix to return, it was then that there was banging at the front door.
"I'll answer it," said Spike and he opened the door to find Leonardo and his cat Felix and with them was the Cloaked Figure.
"Leonardo, you and Felix are back but who's that?" Spike asked.
"I shall answer that question," said the cloaked figure and he took off his cloak to reveal a turtle wearing a white tunic, blue pants, black boots, and a red scarf.
"Are...you related to Leo?" Tony asked in awe.
"No I'm not, I am Prince Shelldon, the future ruler of the Kingdom Uqaqeosan Dynasty the peaceful Kingdom full of happy and carefree Turtles," said the Turtle.
"'Uqaqeosan...Dynasty'?" asked Lloyd.
"It is where I came from," said Prince Shelldon, "And it's in the rule of my father King Sahasi."
"But why are you here on Zoosapia for exactly?" Leonardo asked.
"I am here because the seven of you are the Chosen Seven destined to the SeptZoos," said Prince Shelldon.
"Talking about what-now?" Amy asked.
"The seven of you are the Chosen Seven destined to be the New SeptZoos," Prince Shelldon explained.
"New...SeptZoos?" asked Echo.
"Yes, seven Powerful Animal warriors that protect the universe from harm," said Prince Shelldon.
"Wow," said Leonardo.
"Sounds Amazing," said Tony.
"It sounds awesome!" said Spike.
"So will all of you come back my Kingdom with and become the new SeptZoos?" Prince Shelldon begged.
"You bet! But...how?" asked Leonardo.
"By gaining the superpowers of the original SeptZoos and the powers of the original SeptZoos are sealed inside 7 crystals," said Prince Shelldon.
"And...where are we gonna find them?" Tony asked.
"In the SeptZoos' Secret Tomb and that where is my father is waiting for us," said Prince Shelldon.
"He's guarding the tomb all by himself?" asked Echo.
"No. Something else guards the tomb but you all will see what is guarding the tomb when we arrive in Uqaqeosan Dynasty," said Prince Shelldon.
"So how do we get there?" asked Leo, wanting to help him right away.
"With these rings," said Prince Shelldon holding up a small bag full of rings, "They are ring portals. They are large gold rings and they are used as portals between locations."
"Very straight-forward," said Lloyd.
"It's time we head off to Uqaqeosan Dynasty now," said Prince Shelldon and he took a ring from out of the bag, threw it and the ring opened up to reveal a desert landscape.
"I've a bad feeling about this," Amy gulped.
"Come on," said Prince Shelldon as he step through the ring portal.
Hesitant, Leonardo, Tony, Echo, Spike, Marianne, Lloyd and Amy followed him in one by one and even Felix followed them through the ring portal too as he wanted a help Prince Shelldon take back his Kingdom too and then the ring portal closed.
