Heya readers! So Sorry about the late upload, I had terrible case of writer's block!
I know you all want to know what will happen to our heroes in Mortal Kombat so here's the trial of Donatello!
Chapter Seven
Donatello's Trial
Shang Tsung looked upon the remaining reptiles, Splinter and Raiden then clapped his hands.
"Enough of this fear for your disobedient member" he barked.
Splinter bared his teeth and the others glared at the sorcerer who again did nothing but smile a cruel smile.
"The next combatant" Shang Tsung said "Is Donatello"
Donatello gulped and took out his bo staff.
"Remember my son" said Splinter "Do not hesitate! These combatants will show no mercy on you if you don't throw more offence, don't give them a chance to kill you"
Donatello bowed to Splinter understanding him.
"Yes Master" he said.
He turned to the platform arena and took a deep breath; he then walked up to it and gripped his staff ready to fight.
Shang Tsung smirked then clapped his hands to announce the combatant to fight Donatello.
As he clapped his hands, a monk ninja appeared and produced a long chain with a sharp dagger on one end and a large round ball on the other end.
Donatello gulped as he stared at the chain.
The Monk prepared to swing his chain as he stared Donatello down; Donatello held his staff up and looked up at Shang Tsung as he barked "FIGHT!"
Donatello gritted his teeth as he saw the Monk lift his ball chain and start swinging it around above his head.
Donatello bit his lip as he wondered how he was going to fight this monk without getting knocked out by the ball on the end of the chain.
The others were worried to, Mona gripped Raphael's hands and Michelangelo stood close to Splinter as they watched the brainy turtle try and look for an opening.
After a few seconds the monk swung his ball at Donatello who ducked and began to wave his staff at the monk.
The monk swung the ball around trying to hit Donatello with it, but Donatello was able to see where the ball was aiming and used his bo staff to hit the ball back like hitting a baseball!
"Well hit Donny!" cheered Michelangelo.
The monk glared and threw his ball at him again but the turtle bent over backwards to avoid it and landed onto his shell before doing a jump kick at the monk who fell backwards.
Donatello then jumped up and ran over to the monk to hit him with his staff, but the monk used his chain to block the staff and kick Donatello back.
Donatello stumbled backwards then saw the monk use the razor sharp knife at the end of the chain and swing it around.
Donatello again tried to avoid the knife but as he dodged one strike, he yelped in pain as he felt the sharp weapon cut his arm.
Everyone winced in fear as Donatello inspected his slashed arm.
As he did he saw the monk aim his chain at him and before he could move, the monk wrapped his chain around the turtle's neck and pulled him to the ground.
"Donny!" cried Mona, Raphael and Michelangelo together in fear.
"My son!" cried Splinter.
Raiden gasped in horror as the monk pulled Donatello towards him like dragging a dog and began trying to strangle him!
Shang Tsung smirked as he saw Donatello being pulled into a submissive position.
"First turtle down" he smiled evilly.
"FINISH HIM!" he growled.
The Monk then began to pull hard on the chain trying to strangle Donatello who had grabbed both ends of the chain and tried to loosen them but to no avail.
"No!" cried Mona "Donny!"
Donatello looked across to his terrified family as they watched him about to get slaughtered by the monk.
Looking at them and thinking of Leonardo his survival instinct returned and he saw his bo staff laying not far from his knees.
Quick as a flash he grabbed it and thrust it towards one of the monk's knees causing it to shatter and bend backwards!
The Monk gave a roar of pain and let go of the chain, Donatello then saw his chance and shoved the end of the staff against the Monk's face and hit it at a certain angle causing him to break his neck and kill him.
Everyone stared in horror as the monk collapsed to the ground dead and Donatello picked himself up pulling the chain off from around his neck and letting it drop to the ground.
He looked up at Shang Tsung who looked rather angry at the turtle was able to survive despite being brought to his knees.
The other turtles, Mona and Splinter wanted to run over and embrace Donatello after witnessing a lucky escape but they had to wait until Donatello had completed his second round.
"A lucky escape Donatello" snarled Shang Tsung "But will you be able to survive against your next opponent?"
Donatello gripped his staff and looked across the arena to wait for his next opponent.
No sooner had he done so that he saw a Tarkaten warrior appear snarling and drooling.
"Shit" he whispered under his breath "This won't be easy"
He looked across to his family who began giving him looks of encouragement and Splinter mouthed to him to attack more.
"You got to attack this one Don!" said Raphael "That monster won't show an ounce of mercy!"
"Those Tarkaten warriors make the Foot look like sissy pussies!" commented Michelangelo causing Splinter to whack him with his stick and berate him for using foul language.
Donatello licked his lips and narrowed his eyes ready and focused as he watched the Tarkaten drool and snarl at him waiting for Shang Tsung command to stat the fight.
"FIGHT!" Shang Tsung barked.
Then at once the Tarkaten went for Donatello who twirled his Bo staff and began hoping around ready to leap over the Tarkaten's head.
As soon as the savage monster went for him, Donatello used his staff as a vaulting pole to lift himself and somersault over its head.
Then letting himself land behind the Tarkaten he lifted his staff and thrust it backwards causing the end to hit the Tarkaten in the back.
Everyone cheered for Donatello then gasped as the Tarkaten turned around and snarled before shooting it's blades out of its arms.
Donatello felt his heart pound in fear as he looked at the blades and compared them to his wooden staff.
Seeing how sharp they were he knew they could cut through the wood like butter.
The others noticed the look on Donatello's face and they also felt scared.
"He's nervous" said Raiden "Wood against sharp Tarkaten metal is a bad match"
"No shit Sherlock" said Raphael under his breath.
Splinter bit his lip and gripped his walking stick as he stared at his terrified son.
Donatello stared the Tarkaten down and licked his lips in determination.
He then stepped towards the Tarkaten and began to run at him, the Tarkaten roared and slashed its blades.
Donatello then focused as he waited for an opening to attack.
The Tarkaten then opened up his arms to perform some sort of slashing move above Donatello's head intending to behead him.
Seeing his chance Donatello thrust his staff at the Tarkaten's chest causing him to fly backwards.
Donatello then reached into his belt and pulled out some shruikun stars.
The Tarkaten recovered from being hit by the staff and charged at Donatello again but Donatello threw the stars at him causing the savage fighter to be impaled in his shoulders and chest.
Screaming in agony at being impaled by the razor sharp stars, the Tarkaten stopped end in his tracks giving Donatello the chance to run at him with his staff and thrust it up at his jaw breaking it and several teeth!
Donatello then pulled out a tiny kunai knife from his belt and stabbed the Tarkaten in forehead thus impaling it through the brain!
Everyone gasped as Donatello kicked the Tarkaten back and it fell to the ground dead as a doornail.
Shang Tsung stared down at the brainy turtle as he spun his staff around before resting it on his back.
"Interesting performance" he said clapping his hands "Congratulations Donatello" he said "You will fight in the main tournament for Earthrealm"
Donatello glared at the sorcerer then walked over to his family who all surrounded him and congratulated him.
"Well done my son" said Splinter "You have shown you can be fierce in offense"
Everyone agreed, they had seen Donatello aggressive in fights against the foot and Purple Dragons but that was rare due to the brainy turtle's gentle nature.
"And now for our final contestant" said Shang Tsung clapping his hands.
Everyone looked up at the sorcerer as he looked down at the group.
"Splinter..."
Whoa! That was a close shave for Donatello! But now Splinter's trial is next! How will he fair? Find out in the next chapter!
