Team Mutant Ninja Clan

The night floated by quite slowly as the early morning brought in a nice clear blue sky. Not a sound could be heard, not even throughout the hall ways. Minutes later Mikey and Donatello were awoken to the sound of something slamming against there door. This noise continued down the hall as the object hit the other doors.

“That must be our wake up all.” Donatello said as he got out of bed and walked over as he swung his Bo staff over his shoulders.

Mikey looked over at the clock as it read 6:47 A.M.

“Why did they wake us up so early, Mortal Kombat doesn’t begin until ten.” Mikey complained.

“How do you know when the tournament begins, and what is Mortal Kombat?” Donatello asked as he looked back.

Mikey got up and walked over to the counter and handed Donatello the scroll. Don looked over it as he began to speak.

“Mortal Kombat, that’s a catchy name.” Donatello spoke.

“What happen to it just being called Martial Arts tournament.” Michelangelo said.

“I don’t know, I say we go find out why they woke us up after all they must have a reason.” Donatello said.

Donatello slid the rock to the side as they walked into the hall. The two of them caught a glimpse of Itachi walking down the hall as someone bumped into Mikey. The two of them turned around to see Raphael.

“Oh hey Raph, I thought it was someone else.” Mikey said.

“Sorry about that, sometimes it’s a little hard to see in these halls.” Raph said as the three of them walked down the hall.

As they got near the end of the hall light came into view as they walked out of the small temple to the out doors. There were flags on a pole with a dragon symbol on them. The grass was cut short; in the distance a great deal of trees can be spotted. To there left a perfect view of the ocean can be seen from there high view. They then looked straight ahead to see a large table filled with all kinds of different breakfast foods. Mikey immediately runs over to the table to check out the many choices. Donatello walks over and joins him. Raph looked around as something came to mind.

“Where did Itachi go?” Raph thought as more of the fighters came out for breakfast.

An hour and something went by and still no sign of Itachi and to top things off, Leonardo was missing as well. Mikey and Naruto were sitting in a corner after just finishing there 5th’s, Donatello was practicing with his Bo staff, Sasuke was standing up against a tree as he stares up at the sky, Neji stands alone stretching out his muscles, Splinter and Casey are talking with some of the other combatants, and Raphael schemes the whole area as he comes up to a tree to here a voice.

“There’s no need to be searching around, your brother Leonardo is fine.” A voice said from up in the tree.

Raph looked up to catch a clear view of Itachi.

“What have you done with him?!” Raph yelled as he pulled out his sai’s.

“I haven’t done anything to him; I only wish to fight him.” Itachi responded.

“Yah I bet you do, how do if I know you didn’t cheap shot him while he was a sleep and hid his body?” Raphael asked.

“That wouldn’t prove anything. As much as your brother interests me, you Raphael, you interest me even more then he does.” Itachi said as he continued to stare into the distance.

It took Raphael a few seconds to take what Itachi just said in.

“Don’t worry Leonardo will be here.” Itachi said.

Raph put his sai’s away as he turned to walk away.

“Just make sure you win your first matches, because after I defeat your brother your next.” Itachi said as Raph walked off towards Donatello’s direction.

“So have you spotted Leo yet?” Don asked.

“Don’t worry Leo will show up.” Raph said as he took a seat on the grass.

By this time Naruto and Mikey began to look over there challengers.

“How it’s looking the only guy’s we have to worry about are Sasuke, Neji, Itachi, your brothers, and that guy over there.” Naruto said as he pointed over to a big buff dude.

“He looks big and dumb to me, I’d take him out of the equation.” Michelangelo said.

“I wouldn’t judge anyone by their appearances for they may look over at you and feel the same.” Neji said as he approached the two.

“You know he’s right, stereotyping can be your ultimate down fall.” A guy said as he walked up to the three of them.

He had long black hair and didn’t wear a shirt. He had on a red head band, pants that are black with a red line that goes down them.

“And you are?” Neji asked.

“My name is Liu Kang, and you three are?” Liu Kang asked.

“I’m Neji, this is Michelangelo, and that is Naruto.” Neji said as the two of them shook hands.

“It is a great pleasure to meet you three, I am the current champion of Mortal Kombat.” Liu Kang said giving them a little background information.

“Sweet, I Michelangelo challenge you to a fight.” Mikey said as he leaped to his feet.

“I accept, but nows not a good time.” Liu Kang replied.

“Why not?” Mikey asked.

“The tournament is about to begin.” Liu Kang pointed out.

Seconds later Shang Tsung stood up on a stand as he began to speak.

“Finally it is the moment you have all been waiting for, who you will fight for the first round. The matches will begin in fourteen minutes.” Shang Tsung said as he walked down from the stand and pinned a large bracket onto the wall.

Everyone walked over to look at it accept for Itachi. Naruto looked up to see his was one of the first matches, he was going against a guy named Venomous Fangs. Mikey looked to see who he was fighting against, to his surprise it was a ninja named Keino. Don looked down the list to see that he was up against a street fighter named Jake. Sasuke was very disappointed to see he wasn’t against Itachi, Sasuke’s first match pit’s him up against an android called black steel, who wears a full body armor of black steal. Sasuke then looks down the bracket to see that Itachi is up against the world champion of boxing who is called Buster of bones. Casey and Splinter look on the bracket to see they are up against two different well trained martial artists. Neji rolled his eyes at who he was up against, a rookie ninja. Raphael then stepped forward as he took a look at the bracket, His first match was up against a fighter named Nazz. He looked down the list; if Leo and Itachi win there first two matches they will have to fight each other.

“How this list looks it seems our little group will advance past the first round, but then I really don’t know much about those turtle guy’s and the other two.” Sasuke said to himself.

“Ah, they might as well give me my win, this Keino guy doesn’t stand a chance against these guns.” Mikey said as he flexed.

“Don’t get over confident, anything could happen.” Liu Kang said.

“Since you’re the champion and all shouldn’t you know who’s all good?” Naruto asked.

“Well I suppose I do to a certain degree, I could give you two a few pointers when going up against a few of these guy’s.” Liu Kang said.

“That would really help.” Naruto said.

“Alright I’ll tell you.” Liu Kang said.

He pointed out a few of the fighters, one of them who was dressed in a ninja like suite of blue and black. His name is Subzero, he warned the two of them when in close combat to be aware that he has the ability to freeze. He then pointed over to a guy with a different type of ninja outfit who had two swords. His name is Scorpion Liu Kang pointed out, he informed them that Scorpion possesses fire abilities.

“Those are two of the fighters you should be careful of. I’m surprised that none of Shang Tsung’s followers are in this tournament.” Liu Kang said.

“Shang Tsung has followers?” Naruto asked

“Yes, and there suppose to be here to fight for him.” Liu Kang said.

“What do you mean, what does he get out of it if his friends win?” Mikey asked.

“Yah, I thought this tournament was to prove who the best is. Besides why would he be any part of the fighting if he is hosting the thing?” Naruto asked while adding in.

“There’s more to it then just proving yourself, if none of us earth fighters doesn’t win this tournament we all face a bigger threat.” Liu Kang said.

“Like what?” Naruto asked.

“It’s nothing to worry about at this moment, let’s just focus on wining.” Liu Kang said knowing they weren’t ready to here what this whole tournament was really about.

Michelangelo and Naruto thought about what Liu had just said for the next few seconds as Shang Tsung began to make an announcement.

“I’m sorry to keep all of you waiting, it is now time to begin the first five matches. All five matches will begin at the same time, just in a different arena.” Shang Tsung explained.

Naruto gulped, as he knew he was third on the list. He was also excited at the same time. Shang Tsung slowly read off the first five matches. To his surprise Naruto’s name wasn’t called. He had gone down the list and randomly picked. The matches he called out,

Jax Vs Leolel

Ermac VS James the slasher

Sasuke Uchiha VS Black Steel

Kenshi VS Mark

Johnny Cage VS Lisa

“Interesting, Johnny Cage is up.” Liu Kang said.

“You know him?” Neji asked.

“Sure do were actually friends, why do you ask?” Liu Kang asked.

“He’s actually my room mate, I’m very interested to see what he’s capable of.” Neji said.

“Don’t you want to check out Sasuke’s match?” Naruto asked.

“Already know the results, I’d rather check out Johnny’s match.” Neji said.

“So you guy’s know this Sasuke guy, which one of the fighters is he.” Liu Kang said as he put a hand over his eyes and looked through the noisy and large crowd.

“He’s right over there.” Mikey pointed.

“He doesn’t look like much but then I really don’t know what he’s capable of.” Liu Kang thought to himself.

“See you around Neji, I want to see how your friend fights.” Liu Kang said as he, Mikey, and Naruto walked over to Sasuke.

“Hey Sasuke, you better win.” Naruto said.

Sasuke just looked up and glanced at him. Seconds later Shang Tsung walked up to Sasuke with Black Steel close behind.

“You two follow me.” Shang Tsung said.

“Hey would it be ok if we watched?” Mikey asked as Shang Tsung turned to look at him.

“What kind of creature is this, it will be very interesting to see what this one can do.” Shang Tsung thought to himself.

“That will be fine as long as you don’t interfere.” Shang Tsung said.

“You won’t have any problems from us.” Mikey said as they began walking.

They walked through what appeared to be a small cave and out the back as they approached a ring made out of stones filled with sand in the middle. Sasuke and Black Steel entered the ring.

“We’ll wait a few minutes, I’m quite sure there will be more spectators then just you three.” Shang Tsung said.

Sure enough more people began to show up as they crowded around the ring.

“Just watching Sasuke about to begin his match makes me want to have my turn sooner.” Naruto said to himself.

“Alright let round one, begin!” Shang Tsung shouted.

Sasuke stood there in silence, as did Black Steel who stood almost seven feet tall. Black Steel made the first move by pulling out a long golden sword as he charged toward Sasuke.

“If I can I will try not to use any chakra against this guy, I have to save my energy for later matches.” Sasuke said to himself as he got into a fighting stance.

“Prepare yourself for death SasukeUchiha!!” Black Steel said as he came within a few feet of him.

As Black Steel swung his sword Sasuke ducked under him while kicking him into the air.

“Now I’ve got him.” Sasuke said.

“That’s it.” Naruto said.

Sasuke lunged into the air going up past Black Steel as he made a knife hand as he bashed it through Black Steel’s chest. Sasuke landed on his feet as Black Steel landed slam down on his back.

“Incredible.” Liu Kang whispered.

“Yay Sasuke.” Naruto thought to himself.

Everyone was in dead silence as Sasuke made his way out of the ring. As he was about to step out Black Steels body began to move. Sasuke turned around as Black Steel stood to his feet.

“You humans really think all your matches are that easy.” Black Steel said as he put on a smirk.

“No way that’s cheap, Sasuke should have finished him.” Naruto said as he angrily clenching his fists.

“I almost scared to think about what else this dude is capable of.” Mikey added on.

“The match is over, it was over when Sasuke made an opening.” Liu Kang said.

“What!, you mean Sasuke lost?” Naruto asked in confusion.

“Watch the match is about to end.” Liu Kang said.

“Now it’s my turn.” Black Steel said as he began to swing his sword around as he raced over toward Sasuke who put on a smile.

Not even a second later the top of Black Steels body exploded as pieces flew all over the place.

“Sasuke wins, fatality.” Shang Tsung says as he sits up from his seat.

“That Uchiha guy got lucky.” A guy said from somewhere in the crowd.

“I don’t know about that but he’s kind of cute.” A woman said from in the distance.

“I don’t get it what just happened?” Naruto asked.

“Think back to when Sasuke busted him open.” Liu Kang said.

“Yah I remember so what, what does that have to do with Black Steel exploding?” Naruto asked.

“Not only did Sasuke jab his hand through him he also took this time to plant two ninja shuriken explosives into him.” Liu Kang explained.

“Wow what a clever move, I guess I better take a few tips.” Mikey said.

Sasuke slowly walked out of the ring as Naruto stepped in front of him.

“I’m looking forward to our rematch.” Naruto said.

Sasuke looked over at him.

“Just make sure you win.” Sasuke replied.

They all headed back to the ring to see Johnny Cage standing at the side of the ring stretching his arm.

“Hey Johnny, when does your match start?” Liu Kang asked.

“It’s already over.” Neji said.

“Let’s just hope my next match isn’t as disappointing.” Johnny said.

“Alright, let us begin the next matches.” Shang Tsung said as he read them off.

Donatello VS Jake

Michelangelo VS Keino

Buster of bones VS Itachi Uchiha

Phantom white mask VS Leonardo

Subzero VS Icemini

Neji Hyuga VS Diamond Doom

“Great another Uchiha guy, let’s hope he’s as interesting.” A guy said from in the audience with excitement.

“Um, I wonder why there are six matches instead of five.” Neji thought to himself.

“Oh great, how come my match has to be so soon.” Mikey complained as he walked off to another ring.

“Quit your complaining, besides I’m up first.” Donatello said as Mikey walked off.

Donatello got into the ring as he looked over at his opponent. Jake had a long brown Mohawk, a green jacket with tears in it, a spiky wrist band on his left arm, wore some dusty old brown pants, and had on what appeard to be some cowboy boots.

“Let’s get it on lizard man.” Jake said as he pulled out a whip out of nowhere.

“The names Donatello, remember it.” Dony said as he pulled out his Bo staff.

“Round 1, fight!” Shang Tsung yelled out.

Jake lashed his whip over at Don who simply ducked and grabbed the whip yanking it out of Jakes grasp. Don threw the whip out of the ring as Jake pulled out a gun.

“How cheap, since when were guns allowed in a tournament?” Naruto asked.

“They are, is just like a ninja using a shuriken.” Liu Kang said replying to his question.

“Don’t worry, we ninja turtles have taken down many guys that use guns.” Raph said.

Jake began firing rounds as Don ran around the ring dodging him.

“You can’t run from me for long.” Jake said as something hit him from behind.

Jake fell to the ground unconscious.

“Nice Dony used his staff as a projectile having it bounce off of the pole, thus making it fly back hitting his opponent.” Raph said.

“Donatello wins, flawless victory.” Shang Tsung said.

“Yah Donatello!” Naruto cheered.

“Yet another boring match, let’s hope things get interesting.” Neji said to himself.

They looked to there right to see Mikey approaching them with a big smile.

“Well, welll, it looks like someone won there match.” Don said as he greeted his brother.

“Actually thankfully the guy didn’t show up, they said he went missing last night.” Mikey said.

“Lucky for you.” Raph said under his breath.

“Alright next match, Itachi Uchiha VS Buster of bones, would the two of you enter the ring?” Shang Tsung asked.

Itachi dropped down from the tree as he slowly made his way to the ring. Itachi entered the ring to see a tall black guy who stood about six foot four and had on black boxing gloves, black and white shorts, and black boots.

“Round one, fight!” Shang Tsung said.

“I don’t know why everyone’s so hyped about you Uchiha guys, I mean what kind of fag ears an over sized black and red robe?” Buster of bones asked.

Itachi didn’t reply.

“So you’re a quite one, now I will bust all of your bones.” He yelled as he started swinging at Itachi who dodged his blows.

After about two minutes of this the Buster of bones stepped back to catch his breath.

“I guess you’re a little better then I thought, I guess I’ll have to knock it up a notch.” Buster of bones said.

“How confident of you, out of breath and still thinking you have a chance and yet I haven’t even used a breath of my energy.” Itachi said.

“You’ll see, now die.” Buster of bones yelled as he raced over at Itachi who lifted his right foot and kicked Buster of bones in the neck.

Buster of bones fell to the ground.

“Is it over, did Itachi win?” Mikey asked.

Shang Tsung walked over to the laying body as he felt his neck.

“It seems the Buster of bones’s neck has been busted, Itachi Uchiha wins.”

The crowd began to cheer.

“Can these matches get anymore low budget.” Raph speaked out.

“I don’t know it looks like Leo’s up next.” Don said.

“Next match, Phantom White Mask VS Leonardo.” Shang Tsung said.

A guy with a long white cape on with a white tuxedo on, with white shoes, and a white mask enters the ring as he pulls out a sword.

“That must be the Phantom guy but where’s Leonardo.” Casey said.

Raph looked over at Itachi who glimpsed back.

“He’ll be here.” Raph said.

Ten minutes pass by.

“If Leonardo doesn’t show up in the next minute he is disqualified.” Shang Tsung said.

“Come on Leo where are you, hurry up.” Mikey said as he dropped to his knees and begged babyishly.

“Don’t worry he’ll be here.” Raph said.

A minute goes by.

“We’ve waited long enough, Leo is now.” Shang Tsung began as Raph yelled out.

“Leo where the shell are you!!!” Raph yelled as he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder.

“Settle down Raph you can take out all of your anger when it is your turn to fight.”

Raph turned around to see it was Leo.

“It’s about time.” Sasuke said with a smirk.

“I presume you must be Leonardo.” Shang Tsung said.

“Yah that would be me, sorry if I kept you waiting.” Leo said as he walked over to Neji.

“Neji whatever you do don’t use any of your attacks using chakra.” Leo said.

“Why not?” Neji asked.

“Trust me.” Leo replied.

“Got it.” Neji said.

Leo then looked over at his opponent standing in the ring who had a large smile on. Leo just shrugged and stepped into the ring.

“Round 1, fight!!” Shang Tsung yelled.

To be continued.
