1 The History of Turtle

Ok. Let me get this straight. Turtle is over 1000 years old, can talk, and fight.AND EVERYONE'S OK WITH THIS??? It's a turtle for crying out loud! I wrote this story to explain how he became what he is. So here goes.

Turtle was born on an island in a sunny part of the world. He was enjoying the first sunrays ever to warm his back, when man came. There were huge vibrations in the ground and his family (all 7546 of them) were running (well, hobbling and fumbling.whatever the hell turtles do to get away from danger) to the safety of the sea. Turtle did his best to get away, but he and 4 of his siblings (three boys and a girl) were swept up in a huge brown sack. All that Turtle heard from then on was a strange human sound. The sound of giggling.

Turtle was taken to a science lab in America for being tested on. He and his siblings were brutally treated with chemicals being poured into and over them. (The female of his siblings was forced to have a sex change during this ordeal). After a while, the turtles were forgotten about and eventually thrown out into a sewer. Here they began to mutate and change as a result of the continuous supply of chemicals. The only one to see this amazing sight was an old rat. (Sound familiar?) The old rat looked after them and taught them to be ninjas. But although their strength was incredible, one of the creatures was not able to stand on his hind legs. This one did not take on human form, but had changed into just a huge turtle. They were all able to speak, but the other turtles decided that it wasn't going to work out so they dumped him in an ocean somewhere.

Turtle was very upset. He drifted from place to place, aimlessly, everyone hating him because he was different. One day he got caught up in a net and brought aboard a ship with a large pile of fish. He stayed there as the ship travelled to Japan; little did he know that his life would be changed forever. (Even though it was already, what with all the chemicals and stuff..but oh well). He managed to escape the ship by talking to the captain and freaking them all out. From then on, he met Master Roshi, and learned about dragonballs and so on. For some reason, (probably because Roshi was too distracted with otherthings i.e. women) the fact that this turtle was as tall as his leg and could talk never bothered him. During his travels, he became very wise and turned into the turtle that we all know and *cough* love.
