April had to go home but Randy and the other turtles were in the sewers. "So, you guys live in the sewers?" Randy asked. "Yep, Been living here for 15 years," Mikey said proudly. "Huh, better than most of the places I have lived in the past 15 years," Randy said.
They all walked in silence for a few minutes till Leo spoke up."So, you said you were a foster kid?" Randy nodded. "Yeah, I have lived in about 20 different homes since the defeat of my clan. I won't be able to explain it but your master might be able to explain some as well as well as my own." Now the turtles were confused. Randy said that his clan was gone so if they were gone then why did they need to see their master when his master should be able to teach him about his magic. "Uh, you said your clan was destroyed? So how can we meet your master?" Donnie asked confused. "Oh, sorry. My master isn't a person. He's a bit hard to explain. Like I said, once I speak with your master, then everything will be clear." Randy assured. Now the turtles were even more confused, how can a master not be a person?
After another few minutes, Randy and the turtles arrived in the turtles home. Randy looked around and smiled under his mask. "Homey." The turtles were surprised that Randy didn't complain about the smell, guess he must be used to it with his smoke-bombs.
"So, where is your master? Is he like you all?" Randy asked. The turtles all looked at each other. "In a sense," Mikey said. "Well, I can't wait to meet him."
"Master Splinter, we're home!" Leo shouted. A rat emerged from a room and Randy got into a battle stance and took his sword out. "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" All the turtles shouted. "Randy, this our Master," Leo told him. Randy put his sword away. "My sons, is this the Norisu Ninja?" He asked. "Hai, Sensei. This is Randy."
Splinter walked over to Randy and Randy was a bit nervous. 'Okay. Giant turtles, giant rats, aliens from another dimension? What is going on?' Randy thought to himself. "Randy, my name is Hamato Yoshi. Your grandfather was Nabu?" Randy flinched at his grandfather's name. "Yes, he is gone but yes," Randy told him sadly.
"Boys, perhaps an explanation is in order?" Splinter asked.
Everyone went to the dojo and sat in a circle. "So, how about you guys explain first? Who or what are you?" Randy asked. "Well, our story is unique. Many years ago, I was once human and after I lost my wife and baby daughter in Japan. I fled to America to escape the Foot Clan. After living in America for a while, I went to the pet store and purchased four baby turtles. As I was heading home, I bumped into a stranger. He felt off. I followed him into an alleyway. I stepped on a rat getting their attention. I fought them off until they dropped a strange substance which fell on me and the baby turtles. I was mutated into a rat and the four baby turtles transformed into well giant mutant turtles and later I decided to train them in martial arts and 15 years later, here we are." Randy was quite amazed. In his entire life, he never expected to meet mutants like in the comics.
"So, what about you, dude?" Mikey asked. "Yeah, we gave our story, now yours," Donnie said. Randy sighed. It wasn't easy talking about his clan. "Uhh, I might not be the best at explaining my history to you, maybe my master can," Randy said then he pulled out a red and black book with the same nine symbol on it. "Uhh, it's a book?" Raph said confused. "Not just any book, this is the Ninja Nomicon. A book that I got from my father many years ago."
"Question, how is that book your 'master'? Do you read it?" Leo asked. "Uhh, in a sense, just don't freak out, don't touch anything, and stay with me and don't leave my side," Randy told the confused turtles and Splinter. Randy opened the book and to everyone but Randy's surprise, it glowed a bright red. They felt their brains turn inside out and a second later they were falling from the sky. They all crashed on the ground except Randy and Splinter. "Don't leave my side. Things work differently here."
"Where the shell are we?!" Raph asked. "Where do you think?" Randy asked calmly. "Are we in your book?" Donnie asked still in shock. "You guessed it. Welcome to the Ninja Nomicon." Randy said proudly. Everyone now got a good look at what Randy looked like without his mask. He had purple Tyrian hair, black jeans, black tennis shoes, a red shirt with a nine on it, he even had a birthmark with a nine one his right arm, and his eyes color was the same, sapphire blue.
"This is awesome! There are dragons, and doodles everywhere!" Mikey said excitedly. "Yeah, when I was younger it was just a blank book so I doodled in it often and those doodles came out here. Nomicon, this is the Hamato Clan. They want to know our clan's history." The Nomicon glowed red then started to show the history of the Norisu Clan, it even spoke to all of them.
Centuries ago, Japan was terrorized by a monster, called the Tengu. A giant black flew through the air attacking many humans in a Japanese Village. Many were killed by the Tengu but one man sought to tame the Tengu. A man was seen walking to the lair of the Tengu. He learned that the Tengu was being controlled by a Sorcerer. A powerful being who sought to destroy all life as we know it. A green, wrinkled man was seen turning humans into monsters. Everyone gasped in fear at the sight.
The man was also a ninja warrior of the Norisu Clan. They sought to destroy all the monsters that the Sorcerer created including the Tengu. The man did not want to hurt the innocent people or the tengu so he went to fight the Sorcerer.
This battle waged for weeks, months, years, till the man won but at a price, he defeated the Sorcerer but everyone in his family was cursed with the power of the Tengu. When a child of the Norisu Clan turns 15, the power of the Tengu. If not controlled, then the Tengu takes over and all will be lost.
The story disappeared and everyone looked at Randy. "That is why I need your help. If I can't control the Tengu inside me, then I could hurt everybody." Randy told them. "Randy, that still doesn't explain what happened to your clan." Splinter told him. Randy sighed sadly. "My clan is gone. Master, can you explain?"
Another story started as images started to appear. A temple was shown with many warriors practicing magic and some were training children. "What is this place?" Donnie asked in awe. "This was my home. I come here often to see my family since I am the last living member of the Norisu Clan." They all walked to a room where they saw a man with orange hair and a woman with purple hair in their arms was a baby that looked like the man but had the eyes and hair color of the woman. "Who are these people?" Raph asked. "These were my parents." Leo then realized what Randy said. "Were?" Leo asked. He nodded.
"What happened?" Splinter asked concerned. "The Foot Clan." Fire swarmed through the area as they all heard people and children screaming. "What's going on?" Mikey asked fearfully. "The destruction of my clan. Splinter, this happened sometime after you fled to America." They all saw death and destruction. This reminded Splinter of his father telling him of the war between the Hamato Clan and the Foot Clan. Many people and children were dying. The Shredder made his appearance. "Shredder," Leo said with a distaste in his mouth. Randy's father came out in his ninja outfit. Both got their swords out and fought. They fought for what seemed like hours but Randy's father lost and was killed by the Shredder. Everyone gasped but Randy just flinched. He knew what was going to happen next but didn't want to watch.
Randy's mother came out with two katana's. "Leave, you will never find them!" She shouted. "Tell me or you will lose your life," He demanded. "Never!" She ran towards him with her twin blades they fought as well but unfortunately, Randt's mother also lost her life. Everything soon disappeared leaving only the original doodles flying around like when they first arrived. "My parent's lost thier life protecting the secrets behind our magic. Shredder needs my ninja mask and the Nomicon to complete his spell."
"But that doesn't explain what happened to you?" Donnie said. Randy sighed. "Hours before their death's my grandfather gave them a warning. Our clan will perish and perdction my grandfather makes will happen. So, my parents grabbed our oldest mask, the Nomicon, and left me at the orphanage with all those things and a note with my name and my birthday. Nothing else. I have sent from foster home to foster home for the past 15 years. Now, my magic is starting to emerge and... I'm scared. I don't want to hurt people. That's why I asked to be sent to America. I was hoping the Hamato Clan was still alive and it is. Splinter, I know that it is inconvenient but can you help train me in my magic as my clan taught you the art of healing?" Splinter was silent for a minute but smiled. "Yes, I would be honored but can we get out of here?" Randy smiled. "Yeah."
Wanted to post this earlier but I got distracted by that I mean I saw Avenger Infinity War and I wanted to wallow my sorrows in BlueBell Ice Cream since my favorite hero died, it's a war people are expected to die, but excited for the next epic Marvel. No spoilers for those who haven't seen it. Anyway, hope Y'all enjoy Randy's backstory. Don't forget to fav, follow, and review, please. See Y'all next time.
