Secret

Chapter 4 - Mafia and Guns

"Pirates! You used to kill people for a living! Were you out of your damn mind! " viper shouted.

"Look, I did some things in my past that you guys might not have agreed with but to me it was natural, it was normal. My mother is a pirate, my adoptive father is a pirate, I was a pirate since I was two years of age," Crane explained, not realising that he still had his Jamaican accent.

"Look, I for one will be ok with Crane's past... but just quit the Jamaican accent Crane, it is freaking me out!" Mantis had said, not saying everything he knew but the others did not know that yet.

"Mantis is right," Shifu agreed," now let us go to the kitchen for a nice cup of Chinese tea," After the two new feline students had said goodbye to their mothers, they had gone to the kitchen to drink the tea that Viper kindly made. After this, the three new students had settled in. It was soon night and everyone followed their master into the training hall.

"Now, Mia," Shifu had said turning to the young lioness. He pointed at the training dummy and continued, "Try to hit the dummy as far back as you can,"

Mia had given it her best shot, kicking it seven feet backwards! Everyone was impressed. When Kitty had tried kicking the dummy, she had actually managed to kick it ten feet backwards! Everyone was amazed...all except Shifu.

"You must fight with strength, not with anger," Shifu had commented.

Kitty had bowed to her master and whispered to herself in anger," Bummer,"

All of a sudden...BANG!!!!! ... the doors flung open. Behind them were three tiger cubs. They were holding...GUNS! One held in each hand. They were massive, black guns! The cub on the far left was much more mature and taller than the others. She wore baggy black trousers and a black and white vest with short sleeves which allowed her belly to show. It had a design on in but it was too dark to make it out. They could tell this cub was female. What was very strange was that she did not have a plain, white beard, but a dark orange beard.

The cub in the middle was male and quite young but he did not look like a person you should mess with. He also had a dark orange beard. He wore baggy black trousers, like the tigress on his left. He wore a dark green top with a golden, star design.

The last of the cubs was a female and seemed to be the youngest of the three – she did not seem to be dangerous at all, except for her eyes - the irises were red and fiery, they seemed familiar to Mantis. You could see her very clearly as the moonlight that was let in from the open doors was shining on her. She wore a deep red dress with short sleeves. The skirt part of her dress was cut in half right down the middle, which allowed her laced tipped leggings to be visible. They were the same colour as her dress. She had a lighter beard than the other two. She smiled at the students of the jade palace. They could see her ivory sharp teeth shining in the moonlight. Her canines were especially long. Po gulped.

They heard what sounded like a number of whips hitting the floor behind them they turned around. They were not whips, but ropes. Ropes that emerged from large holes that were cut in the roof. They had prepared this well. A variety of animals slid swiftly down the ropes – monkeys, jaguars, tigers, frogs, panthers, crows, even bunnies. They all had black, thick suits and red masks. They all had a gun, each very different. None of the students dared to attack them. They knew that a gun would kill them in an instant. These intruders seemed to be professionals, but who were they exactly? They heard a sound from the entrance. Everyone turned their heads round to the three tiger cubs. The cubs had made their way to an elderly tree viper with blue flowers on her ears. She said in a strong foreign accent,

"You are probably wondering who we are? Yes? Well, we are the Mafia. Afraid? You should be. We will take all your valuables except your most valuable item which seems to be the Sword of Heroes. Now...," The elderly tree viper slithered silently forward into a patch of moonlight. Viper's eyes widened and she shrieked,

"Mum!"

A/N: OMG! Viper's mum in the Mafia! What U think? R&R!!
