CHP 12: Continued journey











Evading the speeding blade which approaches the fighter, he counters attacks with a special move. The challenger either had the move read, or was quick moving out of the ice blasts conduit. Leaping high into the air, the mutated turtle recovers his weapon, turning to his challenger Subzero. The sun can barely be seen through the firmament filled with clouds. A sense of urgency can be felt within both Raphael and Subzero. The Lin Kuei fighter ends the practice session.

"We have a long voyage before restoring order and light to this realm. If you and I fail, we'll have to depend on the remainder of earth realm's protectors." Subzero tells.

The turtle from another dimension paces back and forth, with something in mind.

"Don't you think it would be smart if we joined up with this planets defense?" Raphael turns to Subzero. "The two of us against all of them, is just plain suicide."

Subzero bends down picking up a rock, and chucking it into the lake. It skips across the lakes exterior before plummeting into the darkness of the foundation.

"Things will work out for the best this way." Subzero turns from Raph looking into the clouds. "Besides if we can somehow locate the brains of this operation, we can put an end to this whole ordeal."

Raphael thinks of their chances of accomplishing that, smiling at the long shot.

"We've spent enough time here; it's time for us to advance on." Subzero says.

The two of them gather up their supplies, continuing on the set destination.

"I wonder if we are goanna get any rain." Raph looks up at the somewhat gray clouds. "It wouldn't be so bad, but it is much less hassle traveling when it is dry."

The two ninjas pass through deep into the woods.

Miles away

Batman, Leo, and Kung Lao make their way onto a dirt road. Leo chews and swallows what is left of his meal.

"So how much longer do you think it will be until we reach this place?" Leo asks.

The caped crusader looks down at the device to see them progressing toward their set point.

"If we keep at this pace, we should disembark in another three to five hours." Batman puts the device back into his utility belt. "Let's hope your brothers have not been debilitated."

"Whatever the case may be with all this, one thing is certain." Kung Lao takes a deep breath, looking at the growing flowers located at the side of the road. "We need to recover them so that we can return our attention back to the real issue."

There is no reply from the dark knight or Leo, as it is clear they fully agree.

"We might be jumping the gun a bit, we don't know if they're actually being held captive." Batman suggests.

Kung Lao along with Leonardo put some thought into the possibility.

"That is possible." Leo shakes his head, with an almost certain face. "But in a place this far away from home, my brothers wouldn't have just left like that. Someone must be holding them."

Walking in silence, none out of the three say a thing. It isn't much longer before the duo comes across a bridge which is guarded by a strange creature. Leonardo turns to Kung Lao.

"So I'm sure you're familiar with guys like this right?" The turtle whispers.

A smirk forms on the face of Kung Lao.

"To be honest I've never seen a species resembling this." Kung Lao takes a closer look at the being. "Maybe it's just that I haven't been getting out enough, but I'm positive he is not from around here."

Batman conclusively pulls the tracking device out of his utility belt, surprised at what he discovers. It's something they didn't anticipate, something that didn't even show up on their maps!

"How can this be, is this some type of allusion?" The dark knight asks himself.

The creature guarding the bridge stands in place not making a move, he keeps his full attention on Batman and company.

"Get over here right now, the two of you should see this." The ninja and shalion fighter side up next to Batman. "According to this, if we cross this thirty ft long bridge we can cut off close to two and a half hours." Batman tells.

A sigh of relief can be felt between them all. Kung Lao clears his throat taking a step forward.

"Hello sir how are you doing today?" Kung Lao rubs his chin while smiling. "Would it be possible for you to kindly step aside, so my buddies and I can go through?"

The monstrous creature steps up a bit with crossed arms.

"None shall pass without three thousand Yin." The individual speaks in a deep tone. "However there is an alternative."

It is now the creature who smiles. He appears with flaking purple skin wearing a silver helmet, and is suited up in silver armor. He carries on him a sword and several daggers.

"So what's the alternative?" Batman finally asks.

The creature lets out a bizarre chuckle, which causes Leo and Kung Lao to exchange glances.

"Well it's really quite straightforward, one out of you three needs to demonstrate to me that you are a true warrior and I'll let you all pass for free." The creature laughs again. "Also my name is Gerldlax, and that is what you all will address me by."

"Alright listen up you two, just stand by and wait till this is all over." Batman glares at both his allies. "Don't try and jump in, I will have this all wrapped up as quickly as possible."

Kung Lao turns to bats with a slight frown.

"Hold on a sec, you didn't even ask if I wanted to handle this. Honestly, I wouldn't mind getting my hands dirty right about now."

"Well so what's it going to be!" Gerldlax yells out.

"We aren't here to have fun, if you haven't already forgotten. Just let me handle this." Batman replies.

Kung Lao doesn't dispute, watching Batman step up.

"We don't have much time, so if you are ready lets begin."

The Dark Knight follows his geared up opponent onto the bridge, who takes them to the middle section. The two back up a bit from one another leaving some space between them.

"Lets begin!"

The creature throws out four boomerangs which Batman dodges.

Shalion Temple

Peter strides in the halls of the shalion temple, with Liu showing him around. Zatanna enters the work out area to see Naruto vanquishing two of his clones.

"So how are you feeling right now?" Naruto turns over to Zee. "Earlier this morning you seemed to be upset."

Zatanna looks up at him puzzled, trying to show a face that she is staggered at what he just said. She walks over to a chair sitting in it backwards looking up at the leaf village ninja.

"I'm actually quite fine." Zatanna rests her chin on the chair's top. "What makes you think that?"

Naruto shows a face of concern, and could hear it through her voice that she wasn't telling the truth. He walks over to a nearby fountain, taking a sip of water, before returning to the middle section of the room.

"I guess we can just forget about it." Naruto bends down stretching. "It's not really a big deal any how."

Batman glides above Gerldlax kicking him three ft back. The creature gets up, swinging his sword back and forth at the caped crusader. Batman blocks a few of the blows with his gauntlets, while moving out of the blades path.

"I guess I failed to mention this can end in one of us dead!"

Batman jumps back a bit, throwing a few batarangs. Gerldlax slices them all up, except for one that comes around hitting him in the back of his head. Batman takes this opportunity and punches him to the ground.

"Had enough yet, this fight is pointless. Why don't you just let us through?" Batman suggests.

Gerldlax jumps up instantly, grabbing Batman by his neck and throwing him off the bridge to a 250 ft fall! Gerldlax turns over to Kung Lao and Leo.

"Looks like the two of you will have to take the long way around." Gerldlax says laughing.

Just as Gerldlax is about to revolve away, he is kicked off of the bridge by Batman who swings holding on firmly to his grapple gun. Taking the wiring off of a statue on the bridge, Batman shoots the grapple gun catching Gerldlax by his ankle as he falls. The Dark Knight quickly pulls him up.

"What a great counter, you're a true warrior with much proficiency. As I promised, you and your friends may go through."

The Dark knight looks over at his allies who approach them.

"Have a safe crossing." Gerldlax tells.

"We will, but that all depends on what's ahead." Batman replies.

Both Kung Lao and Leonardo make it to Batman's side, and continue their journey down and off of the bridge. They enter into a swamp jungle looking vicinity.

"Hopefully that guy back there is the last of our set backs." Leo looks up into the trees to see Monkey's and other animal life. "Let's just try and get there in one piece."

Raphael along with Subzero walks side by side surrounded by mountains and trees.

"I wonder why your master didn't send more Lin Kuei fighters along with us on this mission." Raph says.

"That is because most of them are still in training." Subzero replies.

Shalion Temple

Liu returns with Peter to the main area in the shrine.

"Hopefully that gives you a good example, of how my home is. If you'd like, I can show you other parts of it later in the day." Liu tells.

"Yeah that sounds like a plan, I'd really like that." Peter walks over picking up a glass and feeling it with water. "Hopefully Batman and the others will return before long."

Zatanna enters the room coming from the training room. She looks up to see Liu Kang and Peter. Not saying a word she walks pass them both. Liu looks over at Peter perplexed.

"She seems to be very moody; I wonder what's bugging her." Liu says.

"I don't know, but I think I should probably go and talk with her." Peter replies.

Parker goes after zee down the hall quickly catching up to her.

"Look I'm really sorry about last night, please don't be disconcert." Peter places a hand on her shoulder. "Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"

As Zatanna turns to face Peter, the screams of children can be heard from the temple front. Their attention is taken away from each other instantly. The two of them sprint down a few halls making it to the front door, and exiting. Liu Kang, Naruto and the temple leaders stand before Azun and a cluster of his minions.

"Good afternoon, sorry too just barge in like this." Azun laughs observing the petrified civilians. "But all the women will be coming with me, and as far as the rest of you that all depends."
