TMNG (Book 1)

Enemy of My Enemy

The Lotus Ninjas stood on a building rooftop under a night sky. Lee was peering through the binoculars at the TCRI building, Ella sat on the edge of the rooftop with her arms crossed over her chest, Ellie sat cross-legged on the ground while playing an app game on her L-Phone, and Donna stared at her L-phone with boredom.

"Well, there's nothing happening at TCRI." Lee reported as she lowered the binoculars down.

"Not yet anyway." Donna pointed out.

"We've been sitting here for hours and the Kraang still haven't released their evil scheme." Ellie said.

"You got something, Donna?" Ella asked.

"According to the Kraang storage device that I decrypted, the Kraang scouting ship is coming through the portal tonight." Donna explained.

"Okay, so we all have to stay alert at any cost." Lee said sternly.

"Yeah, whatever's going on here must be pretty important then."

The Lotus Ninjas spun around to the source of that familiar voice. They saw the Shadow Clan ninja Kage walking out the portal made of dark energy as it disappeared right behind him. Kage stood in front of the mystic kunoichis with a smug face.

"Kage, I'm really not in a mood to play with you right now." Lee said as she placed her hand on her right hip.

"You're not, but I am." Kage smirked.

Kage constructed a tanto sword made of dark energy in his hand and charged forward towards Lee, who swiftly constructed a katana sword made of water and blocked Kage's tanto sword that made her step away from her sisters.

"We don't have time for this right now." Lee said impatiently. "Girls!"

Ella, Ellie, and Donna instantly summoned their elemental magic in their fighting stances. Kage forced Lee's water katana aside that made the blue mystic back away.

"You really know how to make a guy feel fun." Kage said with a smirk. "But relax, girls. I'm not here to fight."

"You're not?" Ellie asked in confusion.

"I'm here to chat with you." Kage said with a smirk. He pointed his dark tanto sword at Donna. "I heard the geeky one mention the Kraang. Care to tell me?"

"None of your business, Kage!" Lee retorted.

"And I prefer studious than geeky!" Donna snapped.

"Aw, c'mon, spill it. I'm in the mode for some fun." Kage said.

"Look, we're trying to stop an alien invasion right now." Ella snapped impatiently. "So, do all of us a favor and back off!"

Then suddenly, Kage's smug smile faded away by the words "alien invasion" coming out of Ella's mouth.

"An alien invasion?" Kage exclaimed with a serious tone. "Are you joking, right?"

Suddenly, the five mystics saw a purple light flashing from the opening door on the top of the TCRI building. A freaky weird ship came floating out the building. It has a round metallic silver main body with three short tentacles sprouting from the belly and a strange-looking dark neon pink eye in the center of the main body.

"Nope. We're not." Ellie said.

"Oh, this can't be good." Lee commented.

Even Kage stared with a hint of fear in his wide eyes as the Kraang ship came floating straight towards the mystics.

"Do you have a plan for fighting that thing?" Kage asked.

"Just one." Lee said nervously. "Run!"
