CHAPTER 3: THE NINJA TRIBUNAL AND THE PEARL OF JADE.
"Welcome to the Lap Of The Gods!" Yuto said with powerful voice.
"We have called you here because there's an enemy that wants to take all the fragments of the Pearl Of Jade" Kan continued.
"THE PEARL OF JADE?" Donnie said surprised.
"Yes. If this enemy manages to take all the pieces, it'll be the end for us all. He is much stronger than we expected and you are the warriors that we need for this task." Chikara said, taking 6 golden medallions and threw them in the air. Everyone took a medallion each. They were beautifully decorated with patterns and with a red stone in the middle.
"These are the medallions that will help you in finding your chi, the true strength of your souls, which will make you much stronger."
"WAIT A SECOND!" Mikey shouted. "What's the Pearl of Jade?" Donnie sighed irritated. How couldn't he know that? But he realized that not everyone in the hall knew what the pearl was, so he explained:
"The Pearl of Jade is a very strong pearl that can grant any wish you say. Because it was so powerful, the Ninja Tribunal divided it in four big fragments, one for every temple of the elements. The pieces themselves are strong even if they are parted, and if they are gathered and during the night of the thousand stars thrown in the Moon Fountain, your wish will last forever instead of one day!"
"But…which enemy will we face?"
"It's Nisshoku."
"What? Wasn't he exiled?" Splinter said.
"Yes, but somehow he's back now and want to take our place. He wants to gather the fragments and that's what you have to help us with: protect the temples of the elements. It's important that each of you Turtles find your chi again and that you humans too…" He turned towards Julie and April. "Try to find yours too, if you manage to."
"Toady there is the Festival Of The Memories, that will be celebrated near the Temple Of Fire. You can celebrate too, but be careful and focused; Nisshoku has very powerful helpers on his side."
"What's the Festival Of The Memories?" April and Julie asked Raph.
"It's a party were you celebrate all the good memories of this year and those which will come. Then you celebrate the dead, lighting a lantern for them. You light another too to make a wish. It's a famous party in this dimension, they hope that the lanterns with the wishes come to the ancestors in heaven so they can make it come true, but I don't think it works. And the other should go to the dead person you lighted it to."
"Oh, it sounds funny!" April said excited.
"Splinter used to go there with his wife Sheng! It must be awesome! I can't wait!" Mikey said happily.
"Yep, it will surely be fantastic!" Julie said. She couldn't wait too!
