You will be Mondo Gecko

Chapter 8

Darkness...

... That's all he could see.

Even for a moment he thought that he had already passed to the spiritual plane, but the cold and the headache that invaded him gave him the indication that this was not the case.

He had no idea what had been thrown in his face, but he knew that it was the cause of his complete loss of consciousness.

Soon voices in the distance slowly brought him back to reality. He could only hear the incomprehensible words of two people talking to each other, like babbling and other strange noises.

"All the cages are ready, sir. The cargo wagons will be arriving soon"

Slowly and with difficulty he opened his eyes, seeing blurry silhouettes of yokais in front of him. He noticed that he was still locked in a horrible metal cage, but it didn't seem to be the same one in which he was locked a while ago in that abandoned mine.

"Mr. X will arrive as in.... Huh? Sir! The turtle is waking up!!

Mikey started to struggle to get up, but only managed to sit down on the cold floor of the cage. He still had the effect of that strange glowing powder. He proceeded to rub his eyes with his hands, hoping to clear his very cloudy and blurry vision. He felt like he had slept for a long time and still felt somewhat groggy.

"I see you've woken up, little orange"

That voice made his eyes open to their fullest capacity, finding the huge Yukon wolf in front of him. It was looking at him with a mischievous grin, as if it were a hunter watching its next prey. Mikey quickly backed away from him, until he came to meet his back against the other end of the cage, unable to back away any further. After everything he had heard about this guy, he wasn't going to trust this one at all.

"Well, apparently you're still afraid of me" said the older one calmly, while raising an eyebrow.

"How did I get here, w-where am I, what is this place?" Asked the turtle, as he looked around fearfully "Who are you? What do you want from me?!"

"Hey hey, calm down. You're making me dizzy with so many questions at once" Complained the older one, and then crossed his arms, having a serious posture "You're in one of our warehouses. This will be your temporary stay until our boss gets whatever he wants from you"

Michelangelo saw with fear that place, so cold and dark where he was. He smelled a very peculiar aroma in the air, but it was not pleasant at all. After observing his surroundings, Mikey again turned to see the wolf standing in front of him.

"What do you want from me? I don't have any money or anything of value"

"We never said we wanted money. Mr. X isn't interested in that sort of thing right now" the young adult explained with disinterest "Any other questions? I don't have all night, kiddo"

The orange ninja became nervous, as he didn't know what the guy would be capable of doing to him if he "played" too much with his patience.

He was thinking about what to ask the wolf, until in a few seconds the image of his "friend" being electrocuted and knocked out by his kidnappers came to his mind, making him look everywhere in his search, without success.

Soon he turned his totally worried gaze to the older one, to dare to give his so crucial question.

"Where is Mondo?"

"Mondo? Who is that?" Asked the wolf in confusion, but soon the memory of who the turtle called that way, when the turtle had been trapped in the mine, came to him "Ahh You mean Jason?"
