Sorry it took so long guys i kinda perfectionist, and RL is getting in my way a bit Please Enjoy

After a day and a half of travel from their small village to Tokyo Taranna and the other Lotus Dragons departed the boat and were released for a couple hours of fun, before their flight was to leave. Taranna picked her way to the temple district and knelt before a temple to the four dragons;generally a Chinese legend Taranna knew it better than any of the others at the dojo but she had her reasons for that. She Rose bowed and continued onward stopping a few other temples out of respect. She headed for the market next but never made it. She was stopped by a younger student and told master young wanted her. She nodded and turned towards the airport with a sigh.

Taranna stopped and bowed to her teacher;his smile made her uneasy it was the face he used before bad news was given. Her heart broke as her told her she would be traveling in a private plane her parents sent. But she hid the heartbreak and nodded taking her bags and fallowing the older gray haired man standing beside her teacher. Master Young patted her shoulder softly as she stepped beside him then away to the small white plane waiting at the terminal he could see her heart brake even if she tried to hide it.

Elsewhere in their home region another dojo readied for their departure as well,the students of the Shadow Dragon Dojo focused intently on their training,bearing the pain from their teacher should that misstep in a Kata, or should the stronger of a sparring pair make a single mistake allowing his weaker counterpart to take advantage of it. Master Shade was not at all like Master Young he demanded perfection; not your best perfection in every aspect. Many students had met their end under him, and still others pushed their ranks to his demands.

He towered above his students a massive man standing at least 6 foot tall with pitch black eyes and ebony hair. His karategi was crimson with black trim two dragons adorned the left breast a Crimson dragon bearing claws & fangs and behind it a shadow of it's self. Always at his side unless traveling in public he wore a dagger black sheathed with a dragon handle and crimson tassels that gave the appearance of blood trickling down the handle.

Each student wore the same symbol crimson & shadow dragons on purely crimson karategi's. Very Few looked as if they had ever done anything but train muscles rippled unbelievably under those karategi's. Their faces showed no emotion only determination. They were the rivals of the Lotus Dragons and had been for far longer than any knew or remembered. He walked the perfect lines and bark orders as the elite team prepared for their departure.

As the oriental teams prepared in their own ways, for the coming tournament the atmosphere across the sea was similar with the other 10 teams preparing in their own ways. The other teams came from varied places, including Crossworld City, Mariner Bay, Silver Hills & of course Angel Grove among others.

Tommy oliver was by far the most interested in the preparations he'd been the one who had working it out to have the tournament here in the first a place in hopes that The champions would come to defend the title he wanted to see them again in person as he had when he was younger and traveling.

Of course he still wouldn't know if they were even coming until tomorrow at the opening ceremonies when the final list was reveled to them but still even the possibility was enough to overexcite him to a point he nearly took of his spar partners head; had Jason Scott Not Ducked at just the right time he may have had a rather large headache.

"Whoa watch it bro, we're sparing here not trying to kill each other Tommy." He Chuckled and shook his head "Maybe we better call it a day."

"Yeah I think your right Jason." He laughed bowed and headed to change. As did Jason Before they joined Kimberly,Billy,Zach & Trini at a table for a round of smoothies knowing little of what lay in the future for them and all of Angel Grove.
