Ninja Training to the Next Level
"Thank you for answering my call on the important matter even during your training session." Nova Terron said as he is alone in the main room of the Astromancers talking to a man in a hood.
"It is no trouble at all, my old friend, you saved my life when was about to die under the fire. I'm always in your debt." The man said wearing a red kimono bowing a little.
"Just doing what any friend would for another, now I'm sure you already heard news about the newest Mysticons." Nova Terron mentioned.
"Yes, legend spoke of four young warriors battling against Necrafa and now eight new champions have taken their place." The man nodded, remembering the famous legends that everyone in the realm knows.
"Yes, four girls and four boys which why I called you here. The four male Mysticons seem to posses some skills in the art of ninjutsu." Nova Terron pulled out a magical-hologram footage of the turtle Mysticons fighting against some shadow creatures that was taken a couple days ago.
"Hmm, the way they fight shows they lack formal training, but they seem to exceed more than the basics." The hooded man commented on the turtle boys' way of fighting.
"Yes, I believe those boys have the talent to become ninjas though I don't think the training their doing will be enough when they will face bigger challenges in the near future." Nova Terron feared.
"Then say no more, I will go see and test these boys myself." The hooded man said, wanting to see them up close.
"Very good, and should you learn of their secret identity you can chose not inform for they were wise to keep that a secret from the Astromancers since we discovered the traitor Tazama working for the Spectral Hand." Nova Terron informed.
"I will keep that in mind, I'm sure the new Mysticons will keep my quite busy." The hooded man smiled as he strokes his beard.
"Just be sure to train them seriously, Malvaron is training the Mysticons in magic abilities so maybe you can also train the females too." Nova Terron suggested, but he saw that his friend is nowhere to be seen.
"Aw, the silent disappearing act, certainly a skill of a master ninja." Nova Terron chuckled.
(With the Turtles)
The turtle boys in their Mystion forms are running through the rooftops of Drake as they are doing night patrolling which is also their turn to do since their sisters did a night patrol last night, they are moving within the shadows making sure not to be seen by the public eye except Mikey likes to goof off sometime getting some attention.
"Anything, Donnie?" Leo asked.
"No sounds of any major trouble through the police scanner, and this is the last spot for our patrol, so no trouble in Drake City tonight." Donnie reported after going through his gadget that lets him see through the security cameras of the city and hacked into the police scanner.
"Oh man, I was hoping to bash some skulls in before calling in for the night." Raph upset that he didn't get to fight anyone.
"Come on, Raph, you can't always expect something to happen just because you wanted it to." Leo lectured.
"Help! That man stole my purse!" A woman shouted.
The Mysticon Ninja Turtles quickly look down on the street to see a woman on the ground probably being forced to by the runaway man in some dirty clothes with a purse in hand.
"Not what I hoped for, but better than nothing." Raph smirked before jumping down to go after the purse stealer.
"Wait, we need to be caution about what we're facing!" Leo said before he and other two go after Raph, hopefully to make sure he doesn't beat up the guy too much.
During the chase, Mikey hear his magic-cellphone going off and quickly pick it up to see it's his sister Piper calling.
"Hey Piper, what's up?" Mikey asked as he answered the magic-cellphone.
"Hey Mikey, just calling to see how's the patrolling going." Piper said.
"Well, Drake City is safe and sound and we're just about to stop a purse thief." Mikey informed.
"A purse thief, those meanies! Don't they know how important purses are to girls though I never really care about purses." Piper chuckled.
"It's still nice that you care." Mikey said.
"The next turn is a dead end, we got him." Donnie informed from the GSP map of the city.
The Mysticon Ninja turtles saw the purse thief making a left turn which is where the dead-end Donnie just mentioned.
"Nowhere to hide now, dirt bag!" Raph declared before making a sharp turn and jump to pounce the guy, except he wasn't there.
"What the…?" Raph confused and the others came becoming shock and confuse as Raph.
"Where did he go?" Leo asked.
"I don't know, we were right behind and I was about to pound the guy, but I see nothing." Raph explained, trying to figure out what's going on here.
"This doesn't make sense; this is the only path that goes here and there are no secret paths around here either." Donnie scanned the whole area, finding nothing in here that the purse thief could hide or escape to.
"Whoa, we just somehow lost the thief like he just vanished into thin air!" Mikey gasped as he is still talking on the magic-cellphone with Piper.
"For real? It's almost like that whole "stealing the purse" thing was a setup to lure you guys there for something dangerous." Piper guessed.
"Okay, okay, let's calm down and try to think this" Leo stopped his sentence when something was running across the alleyway and Leo sensed that present. "…Through."
The turtles were confused of why Leo is being quiet all the sudden until Donnie turn his head where he thought he heard fast footsteps above him, Raph thought he felt something appearing behind him and turns around only to find nothing, Mikey look around feeling a little scared about the moment that is happening right now.
"Huh, sis, I think I'm gonna have to call you back." Mikey hanged up the magic-cellphone and brought out his small scythe blades.
The others brought out their weapons too and quickly standing back to back on each other and keeping a sharp eye out for either the purse thief or whatever is here, they waited for what felt like hours when it's only been a minute.
Then Mikey nose started sniffing something in the air, finding this scent to be very familiar and look to where the smell is coming from. A sliced of pizza on a plate is sitting close to the brick wall of the alleyway and there a steam line coming out meaning the pizza was just made not too long ago.
"Hmm, a little pizza in my mouth should clear my head." Mikey said as he reaches for the pizza slice which the others finds it weird until they quickly realize something is wrong with this picture.
"Mikey, wait!" Leo ordered.
However, it was too late as Mikey as already grabbed the pizza and just when he was about to eat it a small rope appears wrapping around his face and hand tying them against each other.
"Uh oh…" Mikey said before he is pulled through a window screaming from the top of his lungs.
"Mikey!" The three turtle Mysticons gasped.
They heard some metal clashing sound meaning Mikey is fighting against the mysterious man right now and seconds later, they hurry inside to help the Mysticon Forest Ninja only to when they arrived the fight was already over and Mikey is seen laying on the ground and not moving.
"Guys… I can't… move." Mikey said as his body twitches a bit
"Donnie, how is he?" Leo asked.
"He's okay, it looks like he's been knocked out. No physical injuries either." Donnie reported.
"The guy, he was fast and just… poked me a few times… next thing I knew, I'm like this." Mikey explained what happened.
"Must be pressure point technique, we're not dealing with just an ordinary thief." Leo pointed out.
"Okay, now this guy is really starting to tick me off!" Raph angered. No one messes with his little buddy and gets away with it.
"Easy, Raph, we need to know what or who we're up against." Leo stated before turning to Donnie.
"Is he still in the building?" Leo asked.
"I'm definitely getting a reading of a person inside the building, few floors above us." Donnie informed as he looks at his scanner.
"Good, that means I can still beat the guy up." Raph said before running off to find this man.
"Wait, don't run off on your own! We need to stick together!" Leo reminded Raph that they're part of a team, but the angry turtle didn't listen and ran off.
"Damn it, Mikey, what that man did to you should be temporary. As soon as you are able to move, come to us, got it?" Leo ordered, and Mikey nodded.
Meanwhile, Raph is running through the hallways of each floor bursting into rooms to find the man but so far nothing as that only made his anger grow.
"Coward! Too scared to wrath my rage!" Raph shouted in rage trying to call out the mysterious attacker.
"Are you sure you want to fight like that?" A voice replied realizing it's the attacker.
"Be careful of how much rage you are using; it is like a fuel that burns out too quickly." The attacker lectured.
"Oh, you don't know how dangerous I can be when I'm angry." Raph stated.
"Then by all means, come and show me." The attacker dared as he appears right behind the Mysticon Fire Ninja.
Raph quickly turns around and throwing his clawed gauntlet at the unknown man who easily dodge it by stepping aside, Raph starts swinging his claws fiercely at the attacker trying to get a good hit in except he couldn't make a single scratch on the attacker as his eyes were following Raph's movements.
"You don't focus on the fight when blinded by anger, leaving yourself to be predictable." The attacker advised
He ducks under a punch and did a small pinch under Raph's arm causing the red mask wearing turtle's body to twitch around like crazy for a moment, but when the twitching stops the man is leaned down in front of Raph and sent him flying toward a wall with just two fingers.
"Two down, two to go." The man said before leaving the room.
Leo and Donnie arrived too late as they find Raph leaning against the wall in pain.
"You doing okay?" Leo asked while checking on his friend.
"I… I had him right where I want him…" Raph groaned.
"Yep, he's okay." Leo chuckled that Rpah still has his tough guy act even when beaten down.
"Leo, I just picked up more readings in the building, maybe the attacker has a friend." Donnie reported as his scanner shows a few more dots near them.
"Backup? This doesn't feel right; the guy has only been fighting us one on one and doesn't seem to be the type who needs help." Leo said, getting a bad feeling about this.
"Well, the guy is annoying I can say that much, he's been lecturing me about my anger like a schoolteacher or something." Raph mentioned.
"Okay, I think we should split up, cover more ground that way." Donnie suggested. Leo didn't like the idea of splitting as it could lead to one of them getting hurt like Mikey and Raph, but he knew the purple ninja turtle is right.
"Alright, but as soon as trouble is too much for you, call me." Leo said.
Soon, the two left Raph in that room for him to recover from his fight and split up in different directions.
Donnie went for the closest single seeing as he is getting closer probably to the mysterious attacker or the other people in the building, he soon stops himself and he reach the spot seeing himself being directly at the dot but found no one around him. Then he saw kunai flying at him and he quickly deflected them with the staff of his axe though two managed to get through piercing the scanner and destroying it.
"Hey, do you know how hard it is to make something like this from scarp?" Donnie asked angry.
"You relay too much on your tech, a ninja must always use his natural senses and trust his instinct." The attacker lectured.
Then Donnie felt smack on the back of the head, he turns around ready his axe only to see nothing as he felt two more strikes hitting him on the shoulder and side. Donnie swing his axe to try to get a one hit in except the attacker pushes the top of the axe against its owner on the chest and flip the top down for the bottom to raise hitting Donnie again up the chin. Before Donnie could any company about using his weapon against him, the attacker is now behind the smart turtle and knocked him unconscious with a karate chop on the neck.
(With Leo)
Leo soon found himself on the rooftop looking around to see if he can find either the attacker or the other people, then on instinct Leo quickly pulls out his sword to block a sneak attack from two ninjas. He got a good look at them and saw the foot symbol.
"That symbol, are you with the Foot Clan?" Leo demanded, but neither Foot Ninja responded as they try to push Leo back.
"Not in a talking mood, fine then." Leo grunted and kick the two away.
More Foot Ninja appeared surrounding Leo though he wasn't afraid of the odds and they charged at the leader turtle, Leo clashes and blocks some swords with his bow and sword while countering with his own strikes and when he saw kunai flying at him, he fires a wind arrow to knock the kunai and some of the Foot Ninja away. Leo leans down forward to avoid a slash attack from a ninja behind and kicked him away, he starts running around as the Foot Ninjas try to attack him, but the wind turtle manages to dodge them then stop at the edge of the roof. The Foot Ninjas believes that have him trapped and ready to finish him, but what they don't realize is that they're the ones who are about to be finish.
"Blow Away Evil, Wind Turtle" Leo fired the large blue turtle from his bracer blasting most of the Foot Ninja off the roof.
One Foot Ninja managed to hang on and quickly went to attack Leo while his guard was down, but he was suddenly knocked unconscious by a karate chop from the attacker.
"It would seem I don't have to test you to see your skills." The man smiled.
"Test, what are you talking about, who are you, and were you with those Foot Ninjas?" Leo demanded.
The man removed his hood revealing himself to be a humanoid rat with black, brown and white fur, with a droopy white beard, whiskers, a pink tail and a pink nose.
"Do not worry, I can promise you I am not your enemy. You may call me Master Splinter." Splinter introduced himself.
(Later, Mysticons Hideout)
"Let me get this straight, old man Terron asked you come and train us because he thinks our ninja skills aren't up to the challenge?" Raph asked as he and everyone around are sitting together and hearing Splinter's explanation.
"Yes, and it would seem you all have a long way to go." Splinter stated.
"Raphael, you temper is like a fire that must learn to focus more power."
"Michelangelo, your mind is overrun with distractions. You must be strong and calm like the forest."
"Donatello, as I said you relay too much on your mind. You must be strong like the mountain."
"Leonardo, like your sister, you must be the leader in both mind and spirit. Be like the wind, let nothing weigh you down."
"Wow, those are the wisest words I have ever heard." Piper commented.
"Thank you because I will also be training you girls in ninjutsu as well. Now, you all must rest because tomorrow's training will harder than what you know." Splinter said serious.
All eight Mysticons gulps thinking this training the new guy has in mind won't be pretty.
