Next chapter for this story. Let's find out who these mystery people are.
The group awakened. The Informant had been up all night waiting to see if the invisible foes would show themselves. They never did. He had checked to see about the invisible bridge. His suspisions were correct. He had just barely been able to save himself. He said, "Our first course of action will be to travel one an a half miles south." They all nodded in agreement as they broke camp. After they broke camp, they headed south.
The Informant was keeping his eyes and ears open, as he had cammanded the ninjas to do. They were all a little tense because of the way the Informant was walking. He kept on looking around. Some of them tried to get their mind off of it by looking into the canyon. All they seen was a long ways to a mist and who knew how far that ws afterwards. The Informant suddenly stopped. Nobody knew why He then whispered,"Ninjas, be ready." They were all in front of the Masters and their friends from the other two groups. They stood ready for anything. Then, several arrows came at them. The ninjas caught and blocked every one of them. They then ran into the forest. All you coul hear were hits and screams. Then, some blood splattered out of the forest. The Informant led the ninjas out. He was also holding one of the attackers. He then said,"What they have in stealth, they lose in accuracy. That is why so many arrows were shot at once, with the hope at least one would hit." The boar just growled at them. The Informant then said,"Are you with the group that captured DB?" The boar chuckled and said,"So he was captured. They must hve found a different route." The Informant then pressed the boar to the ground and asked,"What is the name of your group?" The boar replied,"It's called,'go eat mud.' Do you really think I would tell you anything?" The Informant chuckled evily. He then said,"Ninjas know more ways to torture somebody than anyone thought possible. And half of them are just a sloooow and paaaiiiinful death. Now, will we be doing this the easy way, or the hard way?" The boar said,"Nothing will make me talk." The Informant then drug him into the woods with the other ninjas following. At first you hear... laughing. Then you hear screams of pain, getting louder after each break. You then hear the boar saying,"OKAY, OKAY! I"LL TELL YOU! JUST PLEASE STOP!" The ninjas came out with the boar who now was even more beaten up than someone thought possible. The boar first words were,"I would rather clean the master's tent before going through that. The name of the organization is,'The Ancient Ones.' We are all about tradition in everything. Even fighting. The reason we captured, the one you call, DB is because kung fu is known as a forbidden art to us because it was not here early enough. We wanted you to come with those masters, so we could kill you. We did not expect you to bring ninjas, whom we will also want to wipe out." The Informant then asked,"How many are in your group? Also, if you don;t want answer, we'll pick up where we left off." The boar cringed and said,"We are about ten thousand strong. Our leaer is able to beat them all by himself." The Informant then asked,"How many were sent after DB?" The boar replied,"Twenty of our best men. We knew at least some of them would die, but we would die for our master." The Informant finally asked,"Who is your master?" The boar said,"I would die before I told you his name." The Informant then said,"Alright, more torture." The boar was drug screaming into the forest.
The masters had taken a seat as they listened to the loud screaming that was heard in the forest. This had gone on most of the day. It was already late afternoon. A ninja then came out and said,"This is the information he has given us: The ninjas can defeat their master, but we will need everyone else to fight the army. We still cannot figure out how DB was captured by them. We also know that they exsist without the knowledge of the Babylonian king, which we can use to our advantage. We can tell the Babylonian king and hopefully, he will send part of his army to help. The only reason he wouldn't is if they are under attach or are attacking someplace. They would most likely be attacking Isreal, which is right now Jerusalem and Judah. They would be attacking Judah. You don't need to know that. This is all we know. The part about how the Babylonian king not knowing can be useful and where they would be attacking is all things we already knew. I'm going back to help continue the torture." As soon as he left, the screams started again. Master Shifu said,"Well, I guess, when we get to Babylon, we will speak with the king. Hopefully, he will not be busy." The ninjas then came out with the boar even more beaten up than he was before. You could barely tell what he was. The Informant said,"The leaders name is, the Traitor." Shifu gasped. The ninjas were all looking down. Shifu then said,"How did he survive?!" The Informant shook his head and said,"I don't know. Even in our dimension, he has died several times, or so we thought. We could never keep him in captivity. We have evn seen him die by having his head sliced off. We have only one solution, but we do not know any of the holy warriors besides DB. We will have to try to capture him and free DB to defeat him." Shifu nodded in agreement. He then said,"We should camp here. How far have we traveled?" The Informant said,"We have another half mile to go. It is a good thing that we are here." He then walked over to the cliff and threw the boar over. Everyone but the ninjas were looking at him. He said,"I wanted to put him out of his misery. It was a mercy killing." Everyone then went back to setting up camp. The ninjas again got the firewood.
The next morning, Everyone was up with the sun. They immediatly headed to the bridge. The informant said,"They put a bridge at the widest point in a canyon. Who thought of that one? Okay, half the ninjas will go first, then it will be lightest to heaviest, with the other half of the ninjas going last." The first half of the ninjas went across very fast, disppearing into the mist surrounding the bridge. They just barely heard the Informant yell,"Okay, we are across!" Then, all the small masters went across swiftly. Then they started getting heavier. The last master made it across without a problem. Then, the other half of the ninjas ran to the other side.
The rest of the journey was without a problem. They reached the capital of the Babylonian Empire. The Informant asked a villager,"Excuse me, where is the palace for the emperor?" The villager just walked off. The informant decided they needed to go to the bazaar.
There were many different shops that were open along the streets of the bazaar. The ninjas all broke up and went into different shops asking the same question. The others were all standing there in the middle of the bustle of the bazaar. There were so many differsnt species that they had never seen before. The ninjas all came out and said,"We were given strange looks and people running away." Shifu said,"I see." They then heard screaming and seen a camel that was in the grasp of a wolf. The wolf said,"Finally! I can get a great ransom for the daughter of the emperor!" He then laughe das he started dragging her away. Gaurds started to charge him, but he said,"Come any closer and I'll slice her throat!" One of the ninjas took his bow and an arrow. He was aiming for the wolf in an area that would injure him, hopefully enough to let go. He let go and had a direct hit, but he didn't let go. Th informant then took out a blow tube and a dart. He aimed right above the arrow. Another direct hit. The wolf died seconds after. The Informant said,"Venom of a green mamba, also called the two step snake." Then, everyone looked at them. The princess came to them and said,"Which one of you saved my life?" The informant knelt one one knee and said,"It twas me milady." The princess chuckled and said,"Thank you. You shall all be honored guests at the palace tonight." The Informant replied while standing up,"Thank you very much. We were actually looking for the palace to speak with the emperor, your father." The princess asked,"Why?" Shifu answered,"One of my pupils was captured and taken to this land. We are here to ask for help in taking down the group that did it. The group is also unknown to him." The princess asked,"Where do you come from?" Storming ox said,"China." The princess said,"Oh, my. He must be very valuble to you." Shifu replied,"All my students are this valuble to me." The princess said,"Very well. Come with me." They all followed her. She led them to the palace.
The palace was beautifully decorated. It had more gold and silver than anyone thought possible. Everyone was looking around. The Informant said,"This place is the second most beautiful place I've seen. It is almost like a second heaven. The ceiling had a golden camel in it. It had silver on the hump, along with rubies and saphires and several other gems. They were treated to a huge feast. After the feast, the emperor started by saying,"I am grateful for your presence and for saving my daughter. So, you were wanting my help to take down a group that is below my knowledge?" The Informant replied,"Yes. We were hoping you could spare some soldiers to help us take them out." The Emperor asked,"About how many do you think you would need?" The group fell silent. Simba said,"Well, maybe nine thousand."
I know Simba hasn't been very active, but I have kind of forgotten about him. I will try to make him more active. Now, will the emperor send the soldiers or not? Find out next chapter.
