Arrival in Reinkani

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

A few days later, down at Canterlot High, the Rainbooms were waiting in front of the statue. With them were Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, A.K.A, Canterlot Movie Club, or the CMC. Together with them were two members of the Rock N Beats, Melody and Sweetheart.

“Thanks again for letting us come with you to Reinkani,” Applebloom thanked her sister.

“No prob, Sugercube,” Applejack replied.

“And thank you for inviting us,” Melody said to them.

“No problem. Too bad the other Rock N Beats are too busy right now,” Rainbow Dash pointed out.

“I'm very excited to see what inspiration this country will give my next line,” Rarity said excitedly.

“And I can't wait to see the wonderful animals that live there,” Fluttershy said, again expressing her love for animals.

“It would be so fascinating to see the history and culture of Reinkani. As well as seeing the royal coronation,” Twilight said with enthusiasm.

“And I'm looking forward to the party!” Pinkie excitedly said as she unleashed her party cannon.

Soon, the Turtles arrived, along with their allies April, Casey, Karai, Shinigami, and Keno. Their friend Gabby Rivera was also with them.

“We're here, yo,” Mikey pointed out.

“Hey guys,” Sunset said. “Ready to see Reinkani?”

“Sure are,” Leo said.

“Hope Reinkani is ready for Casey Jones,” Casey smirked.

“Nice of you to warn them,” Gabby teased Casey.

“Hey, Gabby,” Pinkie said to their friend.

“Hola, guys,” Gabby said.

“You’re joining us?” Rainbow asked.

“Of course. I got time, and I wouldn’t mind seeing a new place,” Gabby explained.

“Are the others not coming?” Fluttershy asked, noticing the absence of some of their friend.

“Buffy’s gone to Milan for a fashion show with her parents,” April explained.

Rarity then pouted, “Lucky.”

“Caitlyn's working on a story, and Zach's helping her,” Raph told them.

“What kind of story?” Scootaloo asked.

“She's gathering evidence of Chris Bradford's activities with Shredder and the Foot and gonna expose him for what he truly was,” Raph said with a smirk.

“Payback, boy!” Mikey pumped up as he fist-bumped Raph.

“Glad to know people will learn the truth about him,” Rainbow said.

And Carter and Angel had to see their grandparents,” April explained.

“Max’s being dragged to a yoga retreat by his mom,” Casey explained.

“Pervis is with his dad,” Leo explained. “Walks is taking him on a ride on one of the Utrom Stealth ships.”

“And Hana's still on that Asian trip with her dad,” Karai explained. “She even recently met up with the monks.”

“That's nice,” Fluttershy said.

“Oh, well, it's too bad they couldn't come,” Rarity said.

“We'll be sure to send them photos,” Applejack suggested.

Just then, Chompy appeared on Raph's shoulder, and Rainbow took the little alien turtle in her hands.

“Hey, Chompster, you ready to see Reinkani?” Rainbow asked the little turtle. The little turtle squealed in delight.

“Hey, Mikey, you're not bringing Ice Cream Kitty?” Pinkie asked.

“Nah, the heat over there would be too much for her,” Mikey told her.

“Hope she doesn’t throw any Lair parties,” Casey joked.

Pinkie then popped up next to him, “Uh, a Lair Party? Why wasn't I invited!?”

“I think Casey was joking,” Gabby clarified.

Pinkie shrugged.

“So, how’re we getting there?” Scootaloo asked.

“Are we using the portal projector to get there, Donnie?” Sunset asked.

“Actually, Yod said that the Queen arranged a jet for us to take us to the east coast of India, and then we got on a boat to take us to the country,” Rainbow explained.

“A private jet, sweet,” Casey exclaimed.

“Talk about arriving in style,” Rarity excitedly said.

“They know how to treat their guests,” Keno said.

Twilight then realised something as she turned to the turtles. “Wait, you guys don’t have passports!”

The others worried that the turtles couldn't legally leave the country because they didn’t have passports. But the turtles didn’t seem worried.

“Don't worry, dudes. We do have passports,” Mikey told them. Donnie then showed them passports with their holographic human disguise photos on them. "Courtesy of Miss Nowhere.”

“The woman may be a pain, but she was kind enough to give these to us,” Raph told them.

“Anyway, gang, the Jet is picking us up from the Airport, so we better get moving,” Leo said.

The turtles got into the Shellraiser, the Allies got into the party wagon, and the Rainbooms and young ninjas got into their tour bus. With Leo, Casey and Applejack each taking the wheel, they set off towards the airport.

Applejack drove to the nearby airport. Once they arrived, the turtles activated their hologram disguises and entered the airport.

Once they approached the front desk, Rainbow showed the receptionist the invitation, who got up.

“Please follow me,” the receptionist said.

The Ninjas followed the lady towards the outside as they approached a plane carrier, where a man was waiting for them. There was also a big plane there, which impressed them.

“Sweet plane,” Mikey said.

“It's no spy plane, but still tiene buena pinta,” Gabby said.

“I can't wait to ride in it,” Sweetie Belle said excitedly.

The receptionist left, leaving the Ninjas with the man.

“Greetings, I will be your pilot on this trip,

So, they got onto the plane, which looked luxurious inside. They all took their seats and fastened their seatbelts. Just then, the speakers heard a voice on the plain.

“This is your main pilot speaking. Before we take off, let me follow some instructions for your safety...” The pilot went through the basic instructions in case of an emergency. Some of them paid attention, while others were bored. Finally, the pilot finished: “On behalf of the Reinkani Royal Family, we hope you enjoy your flight.”

The plane began to take off. Sweetheart was nervous because she wasn’t used to flying, but Fluttershy could calm her down.

The flight was seventeen hours. During this time, the gang did things to keep them occupied. Mikey read his comic books. Twilight also read some books she brought while Rainbow Dash was reading Darin Do, while she tried to contain her excitement and nervousness about seeing Yod again. The CMC, Sweetheart and Melody watched a movie on Sweetie Belle's laptop. Casey, Keno and Gabby were playing a video game on their handheld devices. Leo and Karai were quietly meditating despite being in a crowded aeroplane. Raph tried to nap, but to no avail, as Mikey and Pinkie Pie annoyed him. Donnie was working on some projects in his notebook. Rarity was working on some designs, hoping the trip would inspire her. Applejack and Pinkie Pie were playing a game of cards, with Pinkie not understanding the game. Spike was sleeping very comfortably on one of the seats. Safe to say, the plane ride wasn't all that delightful.

When they finally reached their destination and landed, the gang were eager to get out. Once out, they were all stretching and feeling stiff.

“Finally, I thought that flight would never end,” Raph said as he cracked his back.

Casey stretched his arms. “I don't think I've ever been on a plane ride that long before.”

“I don't know, guys; I found it very comfortable,” Spike said, feeling chirpy after rest.

“Well, dogs can sleep comfortably wherever,” Rainbow pointed out while stretching.

“Anyway, we're off now,” Leo pointed out.

The gang looked at their surroundings to see the country they landed in.

“Whoa, so this is Reinkani?” Mikey asked.

“Actually, no, we're in Eastern India,” Twilight explained.

“Why not just fly it straight to Reinkani?” Scootaloo asked.

“Don't tell us we must hop on another plane,” Raph groaned.

“No, Raph. Reinkani doesn't have an Airport of its own since there isn't room for one,” Donnie explained. “So, we're gonna take a boat.”

“Ooh, a boat ride!” Pinkie said excitedly.

“A much more peaceful way to travel,” Rarity said in relief.

The gang headed to the docks, where a big boat awaited them. They all got on and rode across the water.

“Such lovely ocean,” Fluttershy said.

“It is,” April agreed.

“Nicer than being on that plane,” Rainbow said.

“Oh look, are those dolphins?” Mikey piped up.

They looked to see the dolphin swimming past them.

“It is a dolphin,” Fluttershy said.

“Oooh,” The CMC, Melody and Sweetheart said in amazement.

“This is the life,” Keno said.

“Well, don’t get too comfy,” Twilight told him. “We’ll be arriving in Reinkani soon.”

“Ooh, I can see the Island!” Sweetie Belle said in excitement.

“So that’s Reinkani?” Scootaloo asked.

“Looks like a nice island,” Mikey said.

“All right guys, we’re about to doc,” Leo said.

The boat parked right next to a dock. The gang exited the ship and approached the jeeps placed for them. Waiting in front of them was Yod Nyaa. Rainbow instantly blushed when she saw him.

“Yod,” Rainbow meekly said as she saw her crush.

Yod was no better. “Hi.”

The two stared at each other in silence, completely forgetting the other’s presence. They all chuckled and grinned at the two. Finally, General Yalimi broke the silence.

“You froze,” General Yalimi said to the prince. Yod instantly snapped out of it and greeted everyone else.

“Welcome to Reinkani,” Yod greeted the others as he shook Leo's hand. “It's an honour to have the Hamato Clan with us.”

“Thank you for inviting us,” Leo replied.

“This country is beautiful,” April said in amazement.

“Thank you, young lady,” General Yalimi said as she greeted them.

“This is General Yalimi, Reinkani's top General,” Yod introduced the woman beside him.

“Greetings, young ones. The Royal Family may have invited you, but that doesn't mean I instantly trust you,” Yalimi declared, which made the others uneasy.

“She's a bit weary of strangers,” Yod explained.

“Yeah, I get how she feels,” Raph admitted, knowing his history with new people.

“Well then, let us take you to the palace,” Yod declared.

Everyone got into a jeep, with Yod taking the wheel behind one and Yalimi taking the wheel behind the other. Rainbow sat in the front seat next to Yod, while Leo sat shotgun with Yalimi. They drove through the jungle of Reinkani, seeing mostly trees and plants. They also saw a few animals in the forest, like monkeys, birds, and ocelots, which Fluttershy adored. They passed a few farms in the country, which Applejack and Applebloom admired due to their farm back home.

“Those sure are some mighty crops,” Applejack said.

“The farmers sure know how to grow ‘em,” Applebloom pointed out.

They continued driving until they then approached a city.

“Welcome to the main capital of Reinkani, Pohzi,” Yod introduced the city. It looked like an eastern village, with a few vehicles, many marketplaces, and a castle in the distance.

The two jeeps pulled up beside a statue, and everyone got out.

“I thought you'd like to walk the rest of the way,” Yod offered.

“That would be great, thank you,” Leo thanked the young warrior.

The gang walked through the streets, looking at many of the shops.

“This reminds me of the village set from the Darin Do movie,” Rainbow pointed out. “Only real.”

“Of course, Rainbow, this is any normal Middle Eastern village,” Twilight pointed out. But then she noticed something. “Except... that crate is hovering by itself.”

The gang looked to see a crate on a trolley, but the trolley was hovering instead of having wheels. They were dumbfounded by this.

“How is that possible?” Donnie asked.

“I'm afraid that is classified information at the moment,” Yalimi told them. The gang looked at Yod, who had a solemn look on his face.

“I'm sorry, guys, but I'm not inclined to explain at the moment. But I'm sure Grandmother will allow it once I get her permission,” Yod explained.

They continued walking, admiring the city.

Mikey then noticed a fenced area in the distance with guards at the entrance.

“Hey, Yod, what's over there?” Mikey asked, pointing towards the fence.

“That fence is blocking the people to one of Reinkani's greatest mistakes,” Yalimi explained.

“Greatest mistake?” April asked.

“Something that almost cost us everything,” Yalimi ominously said. “So that area is forbidden.”

“Understood, General,” Leo respected.

The gang continued walking when Mikey noticed something that made the party turtle gasp, “Dudes, look at the statue.”

There was a statue in the centre, a statue of the Hamato Clan symbol. The ninjas were in shock that their clan symbol was being displayed.

“Is that the Hamato Clan symbol?” Sunset asked.

“Our clan symbol?” Leo inquired in shock.

The others were surprised as well.

“Yes, it is,” Yod confirmed.

“Why's there a statue of our Clan symbol in Town?” Donnie asked.

“It’s a dedication to the Hamato Clan for helping us in our time of need,” Yod explained.

“Well, it wasn't much,” Rainbow said, feeling a bit cocky.

“I'm not talking about Seattle. I'm talking from around thirty years ago,” Yod said.

“Thirty years ago!?!” the ninjas said in shock.

“How? We never heard about this?” Sunset said.

“My family and I will explain in the castle,” Yod told them.

“Step lively, we don't want to keep them waiting,” Yalimi said as the group pressed on.

The gang arrived at the Royal Palace. They were awestruck when they saw it up close.

“Amazing,” April said.

“Divine,” Rarity said in awe.

“Now that's a sweet palace,” Mikey said.

“That's the Royal Palace,” Yod explained.

Everyone approached the Palace and entered inside. They were in the courtyard as they approached the entrance to a hallway. But before the gang could enter, Yod stopped them.

“Before we go in, we must take off our shoes before we enter, as it is a sign of respect,” Yod told them as he removed his shoes and placed them in a special box.

So the gang took off their shoes. Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, April, Shini, Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle were barefooted, while the others wore socks.

“Good thing I got that wonderful pedicure before coming here,” Rarity said.

They put their shoes in special boxes.

Mikey then noticed, “Uh guys, we don't really have shoes to put away.”

They were in holograph disguises, so they couldn't remove their shoes. But they didn't want to be disrespectful.

“Actually, you can lose the disguise,” Yod told them, much to their surprise. “My family and the Royal Staff are sworn to secrecy. The staff have been told that you turtles would be...”

“Giant mutant turtles,” Raph rhetorically asked.

“Different, but you are guests of the Royal family. So they are to be respectful,” Yod told them.

“But as long as you respect them as well,” Yalimi said, not wanting any disrespect from them towards anyone.

The others agreed.

“Now follow me; my family's been waiting for you.” Yod led them down the halls to see the Royal Family.
