The Truth about Chen's Noodle House

The Second to go down

Four elemental fighters went down that day. Gravity, nature, smoke and earth lost. Chen was especially excited to have one of the ninjas out of the tournament.

Later that night when everyone was heading off to their rooms, Kai was stopped once again. "Master Chen wants to speak with you." Clouse glared, who had a tissue crammed up his nose from the incident earlier. "Again?!" Kai groaned. "What does he want now?!" Clouse sneered at the red ninja. "Go, NOW!" His deep voice echoed through the hallways. "Okay, okay!" Kai rolled his eyes and walked off to find Chen.

Kai rounded a corner when he found Chen walking straight towards him. The older man approached the young ninja. "Kai...I hope you've kept your mouth shut today." Kai narrowed his eyes and lost his temper again. "Chill out, old timer! I haven't told a single soul today and I won't!"

"You better watch that attitude of yours, Kai. You had some nerve punching Clouse earlier today! That was unnecessary!" Chen snapped. The brunette crossed his arms and looked away. The two kept quiet and just awkwardly stood in the hallway. A sudden voice then called out, breaking the silence. "Master Chen, you're needed down in the factory at once!" Zugu announced.

"Very well then. Kai, you get to bed and rest up." He said in a fatherly tone. Kai obeyed the man and walked away, swearing under his breath. He entered his room and slammed the heavy doors shut. The fire master sprinted out onto his balcony to see if Skylor was out there as well. He was in luck. She smiled when she saw Kai. "Hey." She gave him a warm smile. "Congratulations on passing." Kai blushed a little. "Heh thanks! I-I'm a little scared though...I have something to tell you. It's about Master Chen."

Chen entered the factory in a fit of rage. "Is he ready yet?!" He screamed. Zugu ran over to his master. "Yes sir. It's time." Hidden on the side of the conveyor belt was a small lever. He flipped it, opening a trap door underneath. Zugu climbed down a metal ladder and waited at the bottom for the man to follow him. Chen slowly climbed down the old ladder and flipped a switch, turning on the lights on the ceiling one at a time, slowly lighting up the long hallway up ahead of them. The lights were dim and a few flickered as they walked by. They reached the end and Zugu rammed a rusty key into the lock on the left door. He gave it a sharp turn and pushed it open. They were greeted by the odor of rotting flesh. A few guards were already inside. "Master Chen, we have the master of gravity ready for you." Krait turned on the small light above Gravis's head. Gravis was already strapped down to the metal rack. His body was still. A single bullet hole was easily visible on his bare chest. Blood oozed out of the wound and streamed down onto the floor. Krait held a single gun in his hands and held it close. "Karlof was quite a handful so we made it easier this time."

"You may have the honors, Master Chen." Zugu pushed the metal cart with the tray on top beside the naked limp body. Chen let out a squeal of delight. "After the job is finished, bring this body to the furnace like you did with the master of metal." He smirked as he picked up a sharp scalpel. "As for the next elemental fighter, I request the master of earth!"
