Rpg: Funny how things work out - Page 4

"Hmph."

She stood up and darted after him all the while questioning why she was doing so.

In her opinion nothing in New York could ever be like the islands, 'One of these days I really need to clear my name' she thought.

After some time of building-hopping, the Michelangelo finally stopped.

"Well, whatta yah think?" Mike said pointing to the sky. "This is one o' my fave spots in the city."

A light, brisk breeze filled the clear, autumn sky. Mike could see the North Star shinging brightly overhead.

Well, it was beautiful, she had to admit that and it made her all the more homesick too.

'I don't know why I wanna go back.' She thought, looking up at the sky, 'Theres nothing there for me any more... but still...'

She let out a quivering sigh.

((OOC: So its autumn? What month in autumn? September? Early October? I wanna know becuase Randi's a Scorpio

))

*heretic888* · 02-12-2003, 03:40 PM

"So, whatta yah think??" Mike asked with a grin.

"Its nice... I guess..." She replied, looking at at the dark water before them. "Bet you can never go wave ridin' here, can you?"

*heretic888* · 02-12-2003, 03:54 PM

"Hmmmm....." Mike replied, "I guess it depends on the time of the year...."

There was a momentary pause of silence between them.

"Hey Randi," Mike said, "can I ask you something??"

*Jade Green* · 02-12-2003, 03:59 PM

She huffed.

"Ask me anything you want." She replied, "But that doesn't mean I'll answer you."

*heretic888* · 02-12-2003, 04:01 PM

"Alright," Mike paused for a moment. "Who are you??"

*Jade Green* · 02-12-2003, 04:11 PM

"Who am I?" She demanded with not anger but surpressed annoyance, "Miranda Tezlof... why?"

*heretic888* · 02-12-2003, 09:03 PM

"No, no, no," Mike replied shaking his head with a grin. "I don't want a name. I meant, WHO are you?? What's your story??"

"What's you'res? Eye for an eye, Story for a story." She replied, "You start."

*heretic888* · 02-12-2003, 09:45 PM

"Alright," Mike laughed out, "fair enough".

Michelangelo paused for a moment and seemed to be in deep contemplation.

Michelangelo proceeds to tell Miranda his 'life story'. He told her how his Master Splinter had originally been a pet rat to the benevolent ninja master Hamato Yoshi, a respected shadow warrior among the Foot. He told her how Yoshi had had a rivalry with a selfish ninja named Oroku Nagi, with was most intense with the love of a young woman named Tang Shen. In a bitter and jealous rage, Nagi demanded Shen loved him and when she refused he began to beat her. He told her how Yoshi had killed Nagi. How Yoshi and Shen were exiled.

He told her how Nagi's young brother Oroku Saki has sworn revenge. How he had trained for years and corrupted the ninja's art to have his vengeance. How Saki had murdered Yoshi and Shen. How Splinter was forced to roam the streets and sewers to survive.

He told her about the Ultroms and their home planet of Ultromis. How they had come to earth to study human beings and of the accident that happened that night. How some form of microbial mutagen, a by-product of Ultom attempts to fuse human technology with their own, had been spilled upon the four of them as baby pet turtles. How they had fallen in the sewers. Splinter found them and was himself exposed to the mutagen.

Once their mutation had gone underway, he told Randi how Splinter raised them up to be true shadow warriors-- true ninja. Unlike Saki and Nagi, Splinter taught them to follow the true path of the ninja-- Ninpo. How they had trained in ninjutsu their entire lives. How he had named them after four Renaissance artists.

He then lastly spoke of his recent history. Of the rooftop battle with Saki, Saki revival by mystically-charged mutant worms, of Leonardo's duel with Shredder, of their battles with the Shredder Elite, and eventual pact of peace with the ninja Karai. He told her all this.

After he had finished with his rather lengthy story, Michelangelo stopped and looked right at her.

*Jade Green* · 02-12-2003, 10:39 PM

"Whhooo boy, and here I thought that my story was wierd."

She looked up at the sky tyring to think of hwere to start.

"Nearly 20 years ago, I was born to Christopher and Aeval Tezlof in Buffalo, New York. Nearly five years later, my parents died in a carcrach and I was sent to live with my aunt and Uncle in Spring texas. My uncle was glad to have me, I became his new li'l punching bag.

"About a year later, about early november I think... (I had just turned six), my school had health examinations... eyes, nose, throat, hearing and all that. They even had us take some kind of aptitude test. Didn't think anything of it of course, I assumed that All first graders took the test.

"About some time in early december, a man in a uniform came to the class and asked to see me. I can still remember what he looked like: He was tall and had blonde hair and blue eyes... his shirt was a light blue and had darker blue and gold patches on his arms and a colorful set of ribbons. His hat was blue with a gold rim..."

She knew that Mike wouldn't understand the significance of the color, but it was important to her.

"He told me that he was the head of a privite school for the exceptional and that he would be honored if I attend; he explained to me that it was a military school and so besides schooling I'd have military training as well... I had two choice, agree and get away from my uncle, or say no and continue to be his punching bag. Guess what I chose?

"Surprisingly enough, My uncle agreed to it (though my aunt was a bit reluctant) and away I went. I had no idea where I was really going, I had never heard of the benning islands but they sounded cool enough and besides, I was six.

"When we got there, they told me that they had to run a few tests to bring the 'real me' out. They said that every one at the school was special and I was going to be special too. Being only six, I believed them and when through it only to wake up days later to a... younger version of what you see before you."

She sighed.

"I could go into the science of it, and why it affected my eyes... making them turn out this way but... that would take too much time."

"After that, I reluctantly went on with my new life, taking my classes and training to be a member of the Mutant Militia. then at about 14, I became a drill instructor and met Madison, Maplewood, Rose, Daily... and... Mannings too... I worked with them for about two years and then..."

This was getting exceedingly hard for her to do.

"And then there was a war, people died and all that and afterwards I was framed for something I did not do and was forced to run for it."

*heretic888* · 02-13-2003, 12:09 AM

"Whoa," Michelangelo said with a sincere, sympathetic tone.

Damn, she's never had a real family... a family that loved her.... like Splinter and my brothers..... my God.....

"Listen, Randi, if this is getting too difficult for you, I'll understand..."

She ignored him, she didn't want his sympathy--this was why she was so reluctant to tell HER story. She quickly finished the rest of it.

"Fore the last three years I've been traveling from west to east... when I was in New Jersey, had an encounter with the... a... nevermind about that... I met Li and for the last three months she's been dragging me around."

*heretic888* · 02-13-2003, 08:15 AM

So, she started out as a human..... not like a normal turtle like my brothers and I..... Freaky.....

"So," Michelangelo said, "you've only been training under Hanaru for three months, then??"

Damn, she's even greener than I thought....

*Jade Green* · 02-13-2003, 08:24 AM

"Yeah, but thats not the only type of training I've done..." She replied, "At the base I trained in the art of Chayon Ryu since the time I got there; though why you shoulc care about my abilities is beyond me."

She then glared at him, slightly offended. "And be careful what you think, buddy, I HEARD that last part!"

The Snow... the whispers... This guy was causing her to loose her grip; she was begining to hear the snow again. She forced her self to calm down and the whispers of thoughts not her own faded away.

"Do me a favor, will you? Don't pity me or dwell something as stupid as how much 'training' I've had--unless you want to be slapped in the beak."

*heretic888* · 02-13-2003, 09:17 AM

"Ouch," Mike said with a smirk, rubbing his beak in mock imitation.

"So... tell me about this 'Chayon Ryu' of yours..."

"Tch... form of Karate made by Kim Soo--A Korean who was already a Grandmaster before he came to the states." She replied, "Chayon ryu means the Natrual way and its a study of natural bipedal movement."

Meaning, theres no comparasins to tigers or any thing else.

"He uses a mix of Karate, Tae Kwan do, Juditsu, Bushido and probably others as well. (I never really payed attention to that part). I had to stop after earning my blue belt because of circumstances beyond my control."

*heretic888* · 02-13-2003, 09:43 AM

"I see," Mike replied. "Very interesting...."
