The next night, when he hung out with Don, no one else wanted to do a junkyard run with him and Randall went with him to hang out and to see what things Don found so useful from the smelly place.

It happened to be the junkyard where some other human friends were, homeless ones, the Professor and others.

Randall had vanished. Don was talking to them.

Don told them he was there with a friend, though he was shy around new humans.

"I would love to meet him." The Professor said.

"Randall, the Professor is a friend. He won't hurt you. Neither will any of the others." Don said. "Come on."

"You're sure?"

The humans heard a voice they had never heard before.

"Yes. They've been our friends for a few years now. You can show yourself." Don said.

Randall appeared to them.

"Wow. That is amazing." The Professor said. "You must be a chameleon?"

"Maybe." Randall said hesitantly.

"He has some chameleon and gecko qualities." Don said.

The older man noticed Randall's fingers after the turtle mentioned it. "The fingers and toes resemble gecko and tree frog toes. Good for climbing surfaces."

"Yeah, I can do that too." Randall said.

"How long have you known Donatello?"

"A few months."

"It is nice to know you, Randall." The Professor stuck out a hand.

To Randall, this human seemed like an okay one. He gave him his upper right hand.

"Randall Boggs." Randall said.

"What about calling you Randy for short?" One other guy asked.

"No thanks. I hate that nickname."

"Okay."

"Well, we need to grab some things before we leave, Professor." Don said.

"It was nice to meet you, Randall." The Professor said.

"Yeah, likewise."

Don and Randall began to go to the junkyard to get some things they needed.

"See, that wasn't so bad, was it?" Don asked.

"No."

"Can I ask why you don't like that nickname?" Don asked.

"I used to let people call me that when I was younger. But after my fraternity made me see things in a darker way, and with being humiliated in the Scare Games, I vowed I wasn't going to let others call me that again. It seemed like a kid's name anyway." Randall explained.

"A lot of older people call them Randy for short when they have the name of Randall."

"Yeah, but they allow it. I don't. So just don't."

"Alright. I just needed to know why you didn't like it."

"Now you know."

They got what they needed and went back to the lair without incident, but little did they know that they had been watched by some ninjas. Randall had been seen.

…

A video of the lizard with the smart purple masked turtle was shown to the Shredder and Hun, and Stockman. He sure would be an interesting subject to study.

"He sure doesn't seem like any ordinary lizard." The ninja said.

"Of course he isn't. The next time you see that lizard, bring him to me!" Shredder ordered.

The ninjas started to get prepared for the lizard's capture.

….

Over the course of a couple weeks, the Foot clan was watching for the turtles, and they often saw the turtles, but the lizard wasn't always with them. He was with them a couple times a week.

The night of the biggest encounter of all was when all the guys were out and Casey was with them.

Leo ordered everyone break into pairs. Don and Mikey went west, Raph and Casey went south, and Leo had Randall come with him. He wanted to teach him some more about sensing his surroundings, so he wanted to be alone with him. They headed north.

Randall had gained more trust back even from Leo since he had helped assist his father against Bishop.

They went a few blocks before Leo pulled up and had Randall try to practice sensing anything.

"All I can sense is noisy traffic and still some humans outside." Randall said.

"We really should have you start to fight with weapons soon too, should it ever be needed." Leo said.

"I use my body."

"I know, but it might not always work that way."

"I know how to use other things to my advantage when needed, Leonardo." Randall said.

"Shh!" Leo suddenly perked up and told him for quiet.

"What?"

Then a bunch of Foot ninja appeared.

"Foot ninjas!" Leo said. He instantly took out his katanas.

Randall saw that there was a bunch of them. He knew he could handle one at a time, but this many, of over thirty was not good odds for him alone. But he was sure Leo could help handle them, with the way he fought.

"Have you faced this many before?" Randall asked.

"Yes, and more." Leo replied.

They both braced for a fight. Randall backed close to Leo's back.

The ninjas jumped over to their rooftop.

On instinct, Randall couldn't help but vanish. It shocked the ninjas how he disappeared. They slashed around.

Randall had gotten down on all eights and moved away from the fight. He flashed a smile to himself to see that they couldn't find him.

Leo's swords clashed with ninja swords. He saw Randall had vanished. Without weapons, he couldn't help but know that the lizard would move away.

But the ones that seemed to be looking for something were obviously looking for him. They weren't targeting Leo, but the turtle had his own hands full.

Randall saw that he could use this to his advantage, take care of the ones that were looking for him.

He pounced on some of them and tripped some up. There were only like ten that were after him, but using his invisibility, he managed to beat them. He even threw weapons from knocked down ones into some of the standing ones, sending them down too.

Then there was a cry of pain, as Leo had been cut on one his right bicep. Then his left thigh.

The pain didn't distract Leo for long. He kept on fighting. But his cries had made Randall hold still for a moment.

Then the huge giant man, Hun, appeared, by breaking down a door from a staircase entrance.

Randall saw that this human was not normal. He was a freak among them. More like a gorilla than a human. He had seen him before, with the Purple Dragons.

Hun faced off against Leonardo. "Where's your friend, Turtle?" Hun demanded.

Leo was breathing hard. Pain and blood loss were beginning to get to him. "I don't know what you're talking about." Leo said.

"Don't lie to us, Turtle. We know you have a lizard friend with you. We saw him!"

Randall now knew they were wanting him. He grinned. They could have him. In his own way.

There were some more attacks on Leo and the ninjas could see the turtle was tiring. Then Hun stepped in and at one moment, he hit Leo in the head, causing his head to fly back, and then he was hit in the chest, making him to go flying into the wall.

Leo's cry of pain was evident. That did it!

Some ninjas came and got Leo to his feet by force, grabbing his arms and restraining them. Hun was coming forward, ready to pound him.

Then, there was an, "OW!" A ninja cried out and let go. He held one of his legs.

Then there was another.

There had been four ninjas holding onto Leo. Two were now off him. They didn't know what was going on.

Hun saw the ninjas weren't doing their job and the Shredder would have a field day with them if they failed him.

A third ninja cried out and let go, and that gave Leo the stability he needed to get loose and he began fighting again. And he pressed his shell cell distress button, alerting the others. The numbers were getting bigger.

Hun tried once again to defeat the turtle. This time he got Leo in the plastron, knocking him down to his knees.

Hun was ready to kill poor Leo, as he managed to look up at him as the giant human was right above him.

Leo wanted to take him so badly, like he had many other times, but this time, blood loss was getting to him. His blood was soaking the rooftop. He panted hard from his blow to his plastron, his chest to be exact.

But then, Hun felt movement on his back and he jumped about, but then he felt something that he had never felt before. He felt something scaly like get around his neck.

Leo watched as Hun was now pawing up around his neck area.

Hun was struggling to breathe as whatever it was, got tighter.

Leo wondered what Randall was doing that made the giant man grip around his throat. Surely his arms weren't doing it.

Randall squeezed his body to the tightest he could get his middle. And within just some many seconds, the big human went down onto his stomach, and there was a SNAP!

Leo couldn't believe what he had just seen. The rest of the ninjas were in shock too. Hun had been fighting something he couldn't see.

The rest of the turtles and Casey then showed up to fight off the rest of the ninjas. Randall then appeared by the body of Hun when the rest of the ninjas were being taken care of.

Leo was glad his brothers had shown up, but then he looked up at Randall, who was approaching him.

"Donatello! I need your bag!" Randall called out to the smart turtle.

Don had enough time to take his duffel bag off and tossed it across the roof.

Randall caught it and he unzipped it. "Let's get these bandaged." He said.

"Randall, you- killed Hun?" Leo asked, stunned.

"I couldn't let him kill you. I've seen how he's the most mean of all of them." Randall said, "and he was going to do you in if I didn't do something."

Randall knew that Hun had been like the equivalent size of his old rival, Sullivan. He had nearly done him in once. But certain things had prevented it from happening. But now, Randall had made the kill. But he had done it to save someone versus just hating someone. Hun had deserved it.

Randall soon had Leo's wounds bound up just when his brothers and Casey got over to them, wanting to help. The lizard had helped Leo to his feet. His katanas were back in his sheaths.

There were unconscious ninjas everywhere, but the most shocking thing to see was Hun, lying on the ground, dead.

The others were all looking at Hun's body in shock.

"He's dead. I felt and heard his neck snap." Randall said.

They all looked over at Randall. He had killed the leader of the Purple Dragons and was the Shredder's right hand man. He had been a hard one to ever really fight before.

"He saved my life." Leo said. "Hun was going to kill me if Randall hadn't intervened."

"How did you kill that behemoth?" Casey asked.

"I can use my body like a snake's coils." Randall said.

With his elastic body that they knew he had, it wouldn't have been hard to use nearly like a snake's coils.

"We should get Leo back to the lair to patch up those wounds." Don said.

Raph took over helping Leo to stand. "I gotcha, bro."

"Thanks, Randall." Leo said.

"Welcome."

The turtles, Randall, and Casey went back to the lair.

….

When the Foot later showed up to collect their wounded, they found Hun was dead. There were weird marks around his neck, looking like scales.

That lizard had such a gift of invisibility that it made him dangerous. He had made a kill.

When Shredder heard of the lizard killing his second in command man, he was furious.

"That lizard will pay for this!" Shredder growled.

The ninjas agreed. Hun had often been their biggest backup against their enemies. Now he was gone. And there would need to be a new leader in charge of the Purple Dragons.

The Foot would need to be better prepared to face him to avenge Hun.

….

At the lair, after Leo's wounds had been stitched and bound up again, there was a celebration that at least one deadly enemy was out of the way and for what Randall had done for Leonardo.

For the family, it was amazing Randall, who almost appeared as a delicate lizard, had taken down one of their deadliest enemies. This was the biggest victory thanks to his invisibility.

Splinter was most proud of Randall too. But he had to say something. "Randall, I am most grateful for you having saved Leonardo."

"Thanks, Splinter." Randall said.

"But I do have to give a word of caution, my friend. The Foot ninja are not going to let this deed go unpunished. They will want to seek revenge against you for what you did. They are relentless. They adapt. It's the ninja's nature. And if you ever see the Shredder, he will be your deadliest enemy, as he is covered in armor." Splinter explained.

"I've only seen the ninjas. Never this Shredder that you talk about." Randall said.

"He's your worst nightmare." Raph said.

"His armor is covered by many sharp hooks and his left hand has the longest spikes on them of all. He even used them to kill Master Splinter's sensei, Master Yoshi." Don said.

"I'm sorry, Splinter." Randall said.

"Thank you."

Randall couldn't help but remember all the times back in his former world as a scarer, that he had threatened Fungus with being put through the door shredder. And now, here he was in the human world where there really was an enemy called the Shredder.

"And don't forget that we found out the Shredder may look human to many, but he's not." Mikey said.

"He's an evil little Utrom." Don said.

Randall had never heard of an Utrom before. Well, the turtles and Leatherhead had told him about them, but they were mostly peaceful. All but the one who played the Shredder.

Randall knew that he might meet this enemy one day, but until then, he would just live his life as normally as possible. And right now, his life was pretty good. He was finally being recognized for something good.

He had friends praising him. He was being treated like one of the family and not an outsider. His special abilities had saved them more than one of them since he had been here.

All this was the most respect Randall had had in a long time.

That night, he did stay in the lair too, on the mattress that would be there just for when he stayed over. He didn't really have any nightmare about the kill he had done. He felt proud of himself for killing someone who had actually deserved it, and it was for protecting the ones that cared about him.
