Chapter 23: Twin Battle

Tai Lung looked at Musaki and Zeke straight in the eye and they're showing no fear or mercy in one of them. They're starting to fight him and Musaki was ready for fight Tai Lung as well as Zeke. Tai Lung snarled at them and they drew their weapons towards him. Tai Lung fiercely started to run towards him and flies through him, but Musaki used his anti-gravity lean on the other side and Tai Lung landed on the ground, missing him by an inch.

Musaki looked at him and put out his sais and asked, "What are you gonna do about it?"

Tai Lung was completely ticked about it and that got him even more mad and tried to do it again, but this time Musaki ducked and punched him in the stomach, which sent him flying through the air. He grabbed on a tree branch and flew towards him and kicked him in the face with his feet.

Musaki rolled on the ground and laid there for a while, groaning heavily. He walked over to him and snickered maliciously and said, "This is the end for you, Musaki."

Musaki opened his eyes to see Tai Lung coming at him and he puts out his claws to scratch him, but he was stopped by a simple bite on the tail. He screamed in pain and he turned around to see Zeke behind him. He growled angrily and said, "Well, I see that this is the first and last time you'll ever fight with me."

"When you mess with my brother, you're messing with me and you do not want to mess with Zeke."

"Well, Zeke. You should eat your words."

He drew his nunchuks and started swinging them around and spun around in the air and got down on the ground and crouched down, combat-style. He said, "You wanna piece of me? Come and get some, punk."

Tai Lung snarled at him and ran towards him and Zeke went in and slugged him in the face with his knuckles. Musaki got up from the ground with his sais still in his hands and began to partake of the fighting. He saw Tai Lung punching Zeke and kicking him down on the ground. He comes towards him and plans to scratch him. Musaki wanted to prevent this from happening and when he got close to him, he screamed, "LEAVE MY BROTHER ALONE!"

He ran towards him and got on his back and knock him out. Tai Lung grabbed his hands to make him get off, but Musaki held on to his shoulders and kicked him nonstop, then he grabbed his hands and flipped him to the ground harder. After that, he slammed him into a tree and banged his head on a branch.

Shifu and Splinter were watching all this come alive in front of their very eyes and they were amazed with their amazing fighting skills. They stood there in awe and Splinter said, "Those are some students you taught them."

Shifu nodded his head and agreed with what he said. He turned to Splinter and said, "They are like my own sons."

All of a sudden, Musaki unleashes a blue and yellow orb from behind the mountain and swung it around Tai Lung and violent kicked him in the face and slammed him to the ground. There was this white sky filling across the palace and surrounded them all over. After that, it was all over. Musaki panted heavily and saw Tai Lung laying there. He walked slowly to him, to make sure he was knocked out cold. He looked into his face and out of nowhere, his orange eyes opened up quickly and he grabbed Musaki's hand, laughing maniacally.

He turned to him and asked, "Did you really think you were going to take me down? Now, it's my turn."

He picked up both Musaki and Zeke and planned to throw them out of the mountain. Everyone was stunned and shocked to see this coming and they were trying to put a stop to it to protect them.

"Put them down now!" Shifu shouted.

"Can it, old man! You had your chance! These two will never live to see tomorrow!" Tai Lung shouted.

"You cannot do this! They're just kids!" Splinter exclaimed.

"Oh, what do you know? You're just an old rat who doesn't know everything!"

Hearing this drove Splinter insane in his membrane. He growled softly and then, after that, he started screaming loudly and out of control about that comment. He fiercely ran up to Tai Lung and kicked him on the back, which he lets go of both Musaki and Zeke, but they hung on to each other on the mountain. Splinter ran up towards them and said, "Hold on, I am coming for you."

Tai Lung kicked Splinter in the face and he fell down to the ground, with a heavy grunt.

"Sensei!" the turtles shouted.

All the turtles ran towards their master with only a few bruises and scratches on him. He opened his eyes and saw them all together, surrounding him. Mikey asked, "You all right, sensei?"

Splinter sighed heavily and said, "Yes, Michaelangelo."

Raph turned to Tai Lung and said, "Hey! You mess with our master, you mess with us! Who the shell do you think you are?"

"Who am I? I am Tai Lung, supposedly to become the Dragon Warrior!"

"I think you 'supposedly' lost your head and half of your marbles!"

"Your arrogance is completely obliterating."

"Why don't you say it to my face, then? I'll obliterate that face of yours!"

"I'd like to see you try, after I take care of these brats."

Tai Lung turned to Musaki and Zeke, who are still holding on to the ground, trying not to let go, but Tai Lung raised his hands in the air with his claws out. Musaki's eyes widened bigger as he sees this coming and just when he was done for...

Out of nowhere, everyone heard a battle cry;

"Atomic Freeze!"

The superpower freezed Tai Lung and held him totally still. They saw a shadow figure appear out of nowhere and came for Musaki and Zeke. He looked down and Musaki only recognized him.

"Ichi?"

"Yeah, who else could it be?"

Muskai chuckled softly and said, "I figured you could come for us."

"Need some help?"

"Please? We're hanging on here."

Ichi reached his hand to the air and all of a sudden, Zeke was floating in the air and Musaki let go of the mountain and flew across the air and gently landed back to the ground. Zeke was completely happy and so was Musaki that their lives were saved. Musaki turned to Ichi and said, "Thanks, man."

"Don't mention it."

Soon after, they heard a on the ice and Tai Lung bursted out of the ice and he snarled, with his breath in an icy-snow breath out of his mouth. He snarled and turned to Ichi and said, "You! What are you doing here?"

"Kicking your butt, that's what I'm doing!"

"This does not involve you, so beat it!"

"You're gonna have to make me."

With that, Musaki, Ichi and Zeke were in combat, taking down Tai Lung with every punch, kick, shove and push combined with awesome powers coming out of there. The turtles helped Splinter get up and Shifu walked towards them and they all saw the fighting go on. Splinter looked at the young dog and asked, "Who is that?"

"That is Ichi. He used to live here and he's been like another son to me." Shifu answered.

"Where did that kid come from?" asked Raph.

"He was from Japan."

All the turtles and Splinter were surprised and asked, "He was?"

"Oh, yeah."

"I feel like we should take him down, just you and me." Splinter said.

Shifu looked at him and asked, "Are you up for it?"

"Are you?"

Both of them looked at each other and they looked at Tai Lung and decided tht they should give it a go. They both ran into Tai Lung and kicked him in the back. They looked at Musaki, Zeke and Ichi and Shifu told him, "We will handle this."

"Really?" asked Zeke.

"You all did amazing. Now, we're gonna finish him by ourselves."

"As you wish. Let's go, guys." Musaki said.

They all went back and Splinter stopped Ichi and said, "That was an amazing power."

Ichi chuckled and said, "Thanks."

Tai Lung got up and he saw Splinter and Shifu standing there and he snarled at both of them and asked, "You want a piece of me?"

"We're here to finish you once and for all." Shifu said.

"Well, so be it."

Okay, how cool is that? Hope Tan-Tan Tanuki is cool with bringing Ichi along for it! Stick around for more!
