Chapter 1

Crunch Time

 

Leaves were changing colors. A cool breeze had swept over the land. China looked nice this time of year. But in the hills in central China, it was green all year round. Except in winter, when everything turned white.

In the hills lay the infamous Shaolin Temple. On this autumn day, Hop, a frog, and his friend Musubi, a penguin, were sparring. Hop had mastered the renowned Drunken Boxing style while Musubi had become the expert in the Crane techniques.

"Ha ha, this time I'll beat you Musubi," said Hop.

"No you won't. I'll beat you two times in a row this week," replied Musubi.

While they were sparring, the Danji Yi Clan approached the front gate of Shaolin.

"Greetings master," said the monk at the front gate. "How may I help you?"

Tony, the leader of the Danji Yi Clan, looked down at the monk and said, "You can die." The monk looked confused. Tony killed him using the most deadliest style of Kung Fu to ever be created: Tiger style, something which he was famous for using since he was a tiger.

They continued on and soon came upon the 13 Golden Buddhas. "Creamy, Toxic. Take care of this," said Tony. They both bowed to him and turned to face the Buddhas. Creamy, a monkey, used his Drunken Monkey style. Toxic, a toad, used his invincible Toad technique.

It took only a few minutes for them to defeat the 13 Golden Buddhas. Moving on, they arrived at the main courtyard where the monks practiced and trained. The Danji Yi stumbled upon Hop and Musubi's little competition, causing them to stop.

"Whoa," said Musubi. "Who's the big ugly guy?"

"Greetings monks of Shaolin," Tony roared. "I am Tony of the Danji Yi Clan. You have just been taken over. Bow down to me and you will be spared." Everyone looked at each other with a confused look. "Very well, you leave me no choice." He looked over at his clan and said, "You know what to do." They all smiled and started to advance.

Monks approached them and attempted to fight only to be stopped and thrown back in defeat. Hop looked at Musubi and said, "This doesn't look good."

"No, it doesn't," replied Musubi. "Well, shall we?" Hop nodded. They both advanced as one and managed to defeat Blunt the elephant and Extacy the tortoise. Tony decided to step in and take them both on.

"Is he serious?" asked Musubi.

They both watched as Tony got into his ready stance. "It looks like he is," replied Hop. "And he's using the Tiger style. This could be bad."

Tony roared toward them and started lashing out at them, knocking them both down. They got back up and tried to counterattack. Unfortunately, he was too powerful for them. When they got thrown back a second time, their fellow monks jumped in front of them.

"Hop, Musubi. You two are the strongest among us. You have to get out of here so you can retake Shaolin," said one of the monks. "Go! Now! We'll keep them busy while you get away."

Hop and Musubi both looked at him, then at each other, and nodded. They got up and ran up the courtyard wall. They ran to a nearby village while the other monks held the Danji Yi Clan at bay.
