RPG picking up where season 4 left off!

[-Savannah-]

She decided not to follow, merley watching them leave the room with a silenced stare. After they had gone, Ana grasped the glowing, teardrop-shaped sapphire that hung around her neck. She gingerly fingered it, before murmuring, "I should practice my demonstartions for young Leonardo..."

The sea turtle walked the center of the room, closign her eyes, summoning a chant. She then clapsed her hands together, opening her eyes, revealing a piercing glow in her eyes, identical to that of her pendant that also suddenly came to "life", it shining brightly.

She open her hand, palms facing outward a sudden wall of water rising, ti rushing towards her. Ana swiftly swept her hand to the right in a slashing motion, the illusion shattering litte a billion shards of glass.

She repeated this, each time imporvig the realism of the "wave".

Leonardo was amazed at where he was. This place was beautiful, he was in awe. He followed the instructions Graysight had given him, he purified his hands and then he picked up the drumstick. He wasn't sure if he was also suppose to ring it or not, but he didn't want to mess up. He decided that maybe he was suppose to, so he rang the gong. He then entered the shrine where Graysight was.

Off in the distance, in this court yard was a mutant frog. His height and weight were close to that of Leonardo, and he wore a light blue ninja jumpsuit and a belt. At the back of his belt was his weapon of choice, his bo staff. He saw the 2 turtles enter the shrine. He did not know them, he was new to the Tribunal Temple. He had arrived their 4 days ago when one of the Tribunals had found him injured after an attack by some Foot Ninja. The Tribunal healed him and let him stay at the temple. He was just getting to know some of the others that also lived at the temple. He planned to talk to the 2 turtles when they came out of the shrine.

[Jade Green]

Randi waited for Leonardo to enter and then fell to her knees. With each action, she pasued to let him repeat it as she had. Then she bowed, placing her left hand on the ground first, then her right before she set her forehead to the ground. After this, she sat up and placed her hands together to pray. ~I'm not forcing you to pray~ She spoke to him telepathically, ~I'm merely showing you one way of self purification~

[Toonami Tom]

Leonardo heard Randi talking to him in his mind. He nodded his head to her. He decided to follow her lead. He fell to his knees and put his hands together.

**********
Outside, still in the court yard, the frog did some thinking. He decided that the 2 turtles were probably busy with something. He didn't want to disturb whatever they were doing. So whenever they did exit the shrine he wouldn't approach them to meet. He would instead wait for a later opportunity. He had heard that the Tribunals had returned with trainees, maybe one of them was being trained now? He did not want to interrupt that. He walked a few steps to his left to admire the cherry blossoms.

[Jade Green]

Randi then muttered a prayer in japanese, asking for purification of mind, and soul. Then, she fell silent for about a minute before bowing down like she had before and standing up. She looked to Leonardo saying, "Ana's waiting for us."

[Toonami Tom]

Leonardo finished praying. He then stood up, looking at Graysight. "This is such a wonderful place." he said to her.

**********
At the Foot Mystics lair the battle with the opposing Foot ninja was over. The 5 Mystics had, ofcoarse, claimed an easy victory. 20 of the the 30 ninja that followed the Mystics had died in the battle, however. "Looks like I will have to go out and find some more recruits for Shredder's army." the Earth Mystic said. The Water Mystic looked to the others saying "I'm going to go see what the progress is on Shredder's revival." He then walked down some stairs to the sub-level. There he saw the 4 human ninja, their energies being drained by a spell cast by the Mystics. In the center of the room was the 'true' Shredder. He was recieving these energies. At this point he looked like a dead Egyptian mummy, without the body wraps. He almost looked as if he was made out of brown clay.

Sabor's bio: He's member of the Tribunal for a few years. His late Master given him a pair of sun and moon daggers. His family was murder by the Foot clan of Japan. He want to get revenge on his family's killer. All around he a good guy but his a real hot head. He can't seem to control his temper.

*Arriving at the Tribunal Temple and enter the building*

[Toonami Tom]

The silver Tribunal was near the entrance when Sabor entered. "Welcome back, Sabor Khan."

[Lady Venus]

*Looks at Silver Tribunal and bows* Good to see you Master. *My tail swishing back and front.*

[Toonami Tom]

"Sabor, you should probably train and hone your skills. If our enemies have their way, there will be a major battle against a great evil soon." the silver tribunal told him.

[Jade Green]

"Some people think so, yes." Randi replied as she stood up and walked outside to slip on her sandles. "And then others, see the truth." She then started towards the archway and from there towards the doors that would lead them back inside.

[Toonami Tom]

Leonardo didn't understand..... was he not seeing the truth of this place? He followed Graysight towards the doors. "Graysight, what do you mean 'the turth'? Does this place have a bad secret or past?"

[Jade Green]

"You read too deeply in what I say." Randi observed as the doors opened for them she entered and stopped to look at him, "Or, perhaps, not deeply enough. That's for you to ponder on your own time but not right now. Ana is waiting." She turned and started down the hall.

[Toonami Tom]

Leonardo was somewhat puzzled by this. He decided to save thinking about this for later. He continued following Graysight.

**********
In the sub-level of the Foot Mystics lair the 4 human ninja that were being sapped of their life force suddenly fell to the ground. The Shredder was now no longer recieving their energies. The Shredder was still in his brown, mummy-type form. He did have eyes and teeth at least in his head. He started to walk. The 4 human ninja were all alive, only they were all very, very weak. The 'true' Shredder started walking up the stairs to the main floor of the lair. The Foot Mystics saw Shredder now walking towards them. The Wind Mystic was in shock. "He's not completely revived! I don't understand what went wrong!"

[Jade Green]

Had she confused him? Good. That was purely Randi's intention, all for good reasons, of course. She entered the training room and saw the wave, "A perfect example of an illusion, if I do say so myself. You can almost smell the salty air."

[-Savannah-]

When they had arrived once mroe, Ana was facing away from them. She did not have to turn around and see them to know they were there, she heard them approach and Graysight's comment on the realism of her wave illusion. Raising her right hand into the hair, she snapped her fingers, it shattering into millions of fragments that become suddenly invisible. She then faced them, looking sternly at the blue-cladded ninja.

"Leonardo, a quick lesson is at hand. I want you to remember what I say and what I mean by it, understood? ...Now then, these illusions that I have created can be imaged quickly in the mind. However, whenever you find something useful to you or of some meaning, grasp it, in other words, never forget what you saw or heard. Memories are of great importance in the art of Irixyu-Jon, for your illusions begin in the mind, based upon a fragment of rememberance.

Thoughts can be quickly erased, if you allow them to be--however, to keep them you must practice often, build up on memories, sights, sounds, tastes, and whatever may seem the illusion more realistic and seemingly powerful. This lesson is very important, do not underestimate whatever Graysight or I tell you."

Ana paused, before turnign towards Graysight. "Graysight, why don't you begin teaching our apprentice the basics of Chi and Psy...it shall be easier for Leonardo to understand the concepts of Irixyu-Jon if your techniques are learned first-hand."

[Toonami Tom]

Leonardo listened to what Ana had said to him. He nodded his head to her and then focused his attention to graysight. He was amazed by the incredible wave illusion he had just seen.

**********
At the Foot Mystics lair, the Mystics were thinking of what they should do. The water mystic was angery saying to his wind mystic brother "We should have never listened to you! We should have known that it would take greater life forces to completely resurrect the Shredder!" The wind mystic defended himself saying "I thought that if we used energies that were more powerful that it would be too much, that it may have caused him to explode!"

While the Mystics were talking to each other, Shredder had found his armor in a nearby case and was suiting up. He then lifted his helmet onto his head. In his complete armor, Shredder turned to the Mystics. "Stop this needless bickering at once!" he commanded them. "Yes, Master Shredder" the 5 mystics said all at once. The fire Mystic then built up the courage and walked towards Shredder. "Do you have something to say, mystic of fire?"

"Master Shredder, we have brought you back from the dead so that you may rule the world as you see fit. In the process of bringing you back, you were not completely revived. It would be best if you would allow us to find a way to rejuvinate you to your complete self." Shredder stared at the mystic. "I do not have time for that! I have returned, and that is all that matters!" The mystic protesed saying "But.... Master Shredder you are not...." Before he could finish his sentence Shredder interrupted with "Water Foot Mystic, destory this fool!" The water mystic was in shock, he reluctantly followed the order. "As you wish..... Master." and with that the fire mystic was blasted with a powerful wave of water. There was now nothing left of the mystic of fire.

"This is what happens when you challenge my rule!" the Shredder announced to the 4 Mystics that were left. "Now it is time that I put my plans into action. The plans that I was never able to accomplish so long ago."

I'll do was you command master. *Bowing once again and then walked to the Dojo.*

[Jade Green]

"Yeah, wonderful, isn't it?" Randi asked him, it was as if she was using his own words against him. "First, you meditate... There's a mat and candles over there for you to do so. I'll be back in an hour or so to check up on you. That is, if I don't decide to simply join you later." She turned and left Leonardo to it. She hoped his previous master had taught him how to meditate. Either way, she'd soon find out. Randi motioned for Ana to follow her so Leonardo could have some peace.

[-Savannah-]

Ana nodde silently to Leonardo, before following Graysight out of the room.

((Ooc: Belh. Sorry about my crappy post...))
