Chapter I
Part 1
The young well-built man stood by the big circle window and stared out at the red colored planet with three pale green moons. He was dressed in a black uniform with three diagonal, purple stripes, angling from the right side of his chest to his left hip, with the gold Loggan rank-badge attached to his left chest. He was deeply lost in his own thoughts. Suddenly, he heard a fizzing noise, as the door opened and footsteps entered. He didn't move. A younger, half-Asian, man dressed in the same uniform, with a dark blue badge, with a gold stripe in the middle, entered the room.
"Master Shredder!" The man stated, as he entered and saluted, touching his chest with his right fist and then touching the right side of his forehead with his fingertips.
"Yes, Kenjiro." Shredder answered, without moving.
"Lord Krang wants to speak with you, sir."
"O.K."
"Has something happened, sir? The mission was successful, we haven't any casualties. I think it is time for relaxation. Isn't it, Master?" Kenjiro said.
"Yes it is." His superior uttered, his voice monotone. "If that's all, you can leave."
Kenjiro saluted again and then left the corridor of the Loggan Force space base.
"Why he is still so serious, so emotionless? Dr. Alvin knows the answer, certainly, he must know it." Kenjiro pondered. "I must ask him, now!" He thought, as he stepped towards the sick bay.
" Oh, Kenjiro, I 'm just leaving. Have you a problem?" Dr. Alvin Steward asked familiarly.
"Hmmm.... I want to ask you.....Are you free, now?" Kenjiro said.
Dr. Alvin nodded.
"I want to speak about Master Shredder! How long have you known him, Alvin?" Kenjiro asked.
"About 5 years. Why are you asking me?"
"You know, Alvin, I would like to know more about him, and his past. Why he is still so closed, without emotions at all? When we're fighting, some mortal mission or so, he always keeps calm, cool and collected. It seems like nothing could surprise him or get him jittery. He can look directly into the eyes of death without blinking. We all admire him for it. To keep calm in extreme situations, it's the basic rule of how to survive and win. ....But in his case.....I have known him for three years and I have never heard him laughing. Sometimes, it seems, I see pain in his eyes. ...So I want to ask you...." Kenjiro stared at Alvin and expected some explanation.
"Yes, I understand what you are asking. You are right! But he is your .... our, superior, and you aren't permitted to look through his personnel folder, without his permission. I'm sorry, Kenjiro..."
"Yes, that's clear, but I only want to know what effected him so much, as to leave him so cold, alone! No secret or confidential information."
"There is no privileged or secret information in there, but private information, and if he likes, he would tell you. And besides, I'm a doctor, I have to respect the privacy of my patients!"
"Alvin, please, he'll never tell me anything about……you know. I want to help him, if it's possible. I owe him my life! I'm his personal assistant but he's more than just my boss. I absolutely trust him and he trusts me, I hope. I have to know why he's so.....so.... so unhappy." Kenjiro urged Dr. Alvin.
" Ohhh .... Kenjiro, I would like but......" Alvin was thinking, very deeply.
"On the other hand, he has never strictly told me not to speak with anybody about this story. Come with me to my room, now!"
Dr. Alvin and Kenjiro left the sick bay and entered the elevator.
In Alvin's room, Kenjiro sat down in the armchair.
"Computer! Dr. Alvin Steward to engineer Baxter Stockman." Alvin set communication channel online.
"Yes, Alvin." Baxter answered.
"Baxter, are you free now?"
"Yes, what do you need, Alvin?"
"Please, come to my room, now!"
"Why?"
"You'll see."
"O.K. I'm leaving now."
Alvin went to the front of the replicator.
"Would you like a cup of tee, Kenjiro." Alvin asked, as he looked over his shoulder.
"Yes, thank you."
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"Come in Baxter! " Alvin exclaimed.
"Computer! Three cups of tea." Alvin commanded.
Baxter entered the room and sat down in the armchair.
"Baxter, Kenjiro wants to listen to the old story about our Boss's past."
"Yes, it is a very sad story, Kenjiro. Do you think, it is a good idea to speak about it, Alvin?" Baxter asked, of his old friend.
"Yes, I hope! He wants to hear it and I have no reason not to let him hear it.
"O.K. So...." Baxter nodded. And Alvin started narration.
" The story started more than 6 years ago. I know this part, from narration only, because Baxter and I joined the Loggans about 7 month later. So, Kenjiro. ....." Alvin paused for a second and tried to recall what happened in the past. "Lord Krang had crushed his space ship on the Earth, directly into the Blue Lake in Japan. Just at this time, when the Lord Krang had the accident, I suppose, an 18-year-old man with hardly broken heart, was sitting on the banks of the Blue Lake. His name was Oroku Saki."
"With hardly broken heart?" Kenjiro interrupted Alvin.
"Yes, Saki, the young man, had studied ninjitsu, at the Hamato Yoshi School, near the mountain lake. One day, a beautiful young Grecian girl came to visit her remote relations and family friends of her rich, very rich family. She had lived in Japan several times studying the Japanese language and their customs. In this time she was 15 years old. One nice day, she rode, on horseback, around the Blue Lake. Suddenly, in this time, a 17-year-old boy appeared directly in front of her, and it caused her horse to run away, and she fell. The boy helped her back onto her feet, and fell in love with her and she with him. It had to be a very nice time for both of them. They loved each other very much, not only platonic love, of course. But one day, in July, they forgot to be careful and so they were caught together .... making love..... by Master Hamato Yoshi, in the honorable dojo, that was assigned for meditations only. They were in very big trouble, as this was a major trespass. Especially, as it was in Japan, and honor means everything there. Antea was her name and she was only 15 years old. So she had to immediately leave Japan and return home, to Athens. And Saki has never seen her again."
"He has never seen her again?" Kenjiro interrupted Alvin. "She forgot him, she didn't send him any letters?"
"Don't interrupt me Kenjiro, and listen to me." Alvin yelled.
"Saki supposed that her mother forbade her to contact him because he was only a poor Asian orphan and her family was very, very wealthy. He dreamed he would come one day for Antea, at Dorisanthos' residence, in Athens, inside a luxury limousine, and carry her away to his residence, which was nearby the sea, and then he would marry her. Maybe he was just dreaming about it when Krang's damaged spaceship landed. Krang was in big trouble, of course, as he didn't know anything about Earth, ....especially about the police. You can imagine, what would happen if an alien spaceship were to land in your back yard. So Saki saved Lord Krang's life, as he helped him. Krang swore to him that he would become very rich and would be the most powerful man in the Earth, if he helped Krang to return to Krang's home planet called Loggos, inside the Loggan empire, and would work for Krang, as 'Raxor of Loggan', commander of the Loggan armed forces. Saki agreed. But he was interested in only one thing ..... person, Antea. 16 months later, with Baxter's help, he opened the interspace portal and Krang returned home and kept his promise. And now, Baxter, please continue." Alvin finished the first part of the narration.
"So. Oroku Saki, in this time already Master Shredder, 'Raxor of Loggan', didn't want anything except to find his beloved Antea Dorisanthos. It was to be my assignment. It wasn't difficult to find the Dorisanthos' residence in Athens, but to find Antea, that was a very difficult problem. I found out that Antea had been in a deadly plane accident as, she flew home from Japan, by private plane. Airport operators recorded only a short emergency message and a few minutes later; her plane disappeared from radar somewhere above the Sea of Japan. Rescue personal never found anything. Any cause, ...her body, ...plane wreckage, ......anything. I studied all radar and navigational systems' records to determine what really happened and who or what caused the accident, but without success." Baxter sadly groaned.
"It's terrible." Kenjiro said quietly.
"Yes, it was terrible. Saki was very sickened when he found this out. He believed his life lost all sense. He wished only one thing, to die. He wasn't interested in anything. I was totally helpless. I really didn't know how to help him." Alvin sighs.
"He had decided to die, as he was ready to commit seppuku. But at the last moment, Lord Krang contacted him, and told him if he really wanted to die, so there were a better, more useful, and no less honored, way that he could finish his life; to die in battle with the Loggan Empire's enemies. Actually, he agreed. That is your answer, why he has no fear of death." Alvin finished the story.
"Ohhh, no. You think he is still in love with Antea? She had to be a very ..... very un-usual girl. I really wish I could have known her." Kenjiro added.
"Thank you, Alvin and Baxter, for this very unusual story." Kenjiro left Alvin's room and went to his own, thinking very deeply about the story.
===
Saki sat on his bed, he was dreaming about Antea. She was very a very beautiful girl, with long curly blond hair and big green eyes. She was small, only 160 cm tall, tender-looking, kitten like, but in reality, she was a very strong persistent warrior. She was very intelligent, too. She spoke many languages, visited many countries from whole word and studied several different styles of the martial arts. Her mother, Daneila Dorisanthos, had prepared her to be a diplomat. Daneila taught her daughter to solve problems by using her brain, but also to use her fighting skills, if it became necessary. In Japan, Antea experienced real love first time there and spent much of her time with Saki. He promised her his love forever and presented her with a jewel. It was a symbol of harmony, made of white and yellow gold with two small white and yellow colored diamonds, which was used as dots in the middle of opposite colored parts of the symbol. Between the diamonds was an engraved portrait of a dragon. The symbol was hung on a gold chain. It was his only remembrance of his mother. Antea gave him an armlet, made of a special leather, gold wires and several small emeralds, which was set into the letter Alpha. And promised him: "Let our tracks lead us wherever the wind might blow. But the true Love of hearts will bring our bodies back together, my Love." He believed her.
Now, he has this armlet on his left arm and he is having very dark thoughts of why Lady Death took Antea out of his life and then she erased his name from her list.
"Master Shredder, there are problems in Alteris III, is your Elite Alfa-team ready to go?" A strange voice suddenly broke into his dreaming.
"Yes, of course." Saki answered. "Computer! White alert to E.A.I Alfa-Team!" He commanded. 15 minutes later, all the elite ninjas, from Alfa-Team, were ready. They then entered the space cruiser and left, to fight and die for the Loggan Empire.
===
A young, humanoid, female sat by the table eating dinner, caressing a strange animal which looked something like a cross between a cat and a squirrel, with curly fur. Her pet was dressed in protective gear. It protected her from personal threats but she could use it for attacking, too.
"Shaggee, are you still hungry, or what, ..... we must go soon!" The female told her pet. Shaggee growled and look up at her humanoid partner.
"O.K. ... O.K. ... nothing has happened. I just ........"
"Exzor! Exzor! Ohhh... you are here....." A strange awful-looking creature screamed as it came upon the humanoid female.
"Hello, Grappa.... Something wrong or what! " Exzor looked up at Grappa.
"Yes ..... something is wrong.....Loggan troublemakers came to Alteris III and it became a hell hole there." Grappa said.
"Yes, I can well imagine it, but why are you telling this to me, now?" Exzor asked.
"Exzor, there are my friends ... and ... you have the best equipped and best armed spaceship what I know of."
" Yeah, thanks."
"So you could go there and help them against the Loggans." Grappa beseeched Exzor.
"Ohhh ... Grappa ... To help your friends??? .... I'm not a benefit organization or anything of the sorts! I'm a hired hunter. ......And ....To go against the Loggan forces?? ... For what??? You are a fool."
"Exzor .. please ...visit them only ..... and take my two good fiends away. Their ship is being repaired and they can't leave the planet .... And if the Loggans caught them ....."
"O.K., maybe .....I'll take away your two friends only .... Nothing more, NO suicide mission or any other action to be taken! Is that understood?"
"Thank you, thank you .... thank you Exzor ......"
" Stop, Grappa .... I will give you some advice. If you had to pay, you wouldn't be giving me your thanks. So Shaggee, let's go." Exzor left the pub and went towards the docks, where her spaceship was located.
"Hi, Terry, everything O.K.? ...Unstick your ass. Course Alteris III!" Exzor addressed the deck computer of her spaceship, "named" ExaTerr.
"Everything if O.K. .... Wait a few seconds ... until the dock control computer kisses me, so we can leave." Terry answered familiarly.
The ship left the space base and went to Alteris III.
