The Morning After I Was Struck By God
I woke up with a massive hangover, in my bed, which was very surprising, since when I touched that weird helmet, I was halfway across town. But, somehow, here I was and I felt like crap, like a great weight was weighing me down. Then, I heard voices inside my own head, ones I had never heard before.
”Ah.. he’s finally awake. I was worried that I would remain stuck in a unconscious mind.”
The first voice, it sounded creepy as hell. And then came a second voice, which sounded like a smoker after too much smoking.
“Yes. Now, at long last, I can finally have my vengeance against my enemies as the one, true Shredder.”
“You imposter.. I am the true Shredder here. You are nothing but a slimy monster impersonating me.”
The two voices in my head started arguing back and forth, and it really wasn’t helping the ache in my head, and was only making it worse. After a few more seconds of this, I had to finally step in.
“Will both of you shut up?! I have a hangover from touching that helmet last night, and both of you strangers’ arguing is not helping matters. Also, who the hell are you two and why are you in my head?” I demanded.
Both voices were surprised and growled, but calmed down after several seconds.
”My apologies. I see the Saki family trait for intolerance on incompetence clearly in this one. I am Oroku Saki, from the 4th Century A.D. I am the one who is known as the original, the one true Shredder, granted immortality and power by a Tengu whose physical form I defeated by my own hand. I was then defeated by my former teammates now turned enemies months later, and imprisoned and the two artifacts that had granted my power separated from me. Imprisoned inside the tomb, I spent centuries amassing my army from the afterlife until my loyal heralds freed me so I could try to take vengeance upon the world. Key word being try here. Instead, I was defeated again and cut in half and killed by a man I did not know, who seemingly appeared from medallions on the reptiles’ necks. Yet, it appears that I have been given life again, well.. technically.”
After Saki finished speaking, it was the turn of the alien.
”Greetings, I am Chr’ell, a former resident of the Utrom Homeworld, named after the species I am a part of. For reasons that I had never and never will tell, I despised my fellow Utroms, particularly Mortu, but that hatred came after he captured me after I managed to cause the deaths of millions on other worlds in the galaxy. On the way back to the Utrom Homeworld, I escaped and sabotaged Mortu’s ship and it crash landed on Earth. Stealing the first Utrom exo-suit, I disguised myself as a human, learning the ways of Ninjitsu before taking on the identity of the Shredder in the year 1004. Attacking the Utroms, I encountered 5 strange creatures who allied themselves with the Utroms and defeating me using the weapon I had created hours before it was used against me, the Sword Of Tengu. I would not see them again until my quest of destroying my pursuers and the human guardians they trained had lasted practically 1,000 years into the future. Those 5 creatures would reappear in the year 2003, and so began an ongoing fight between me and this freaks which eventually ended up with me getting sentenced to banishment on an ice asteroid by my hated species. But that was only temporary, for somehow my counterpart from another dimension managed to retrieve me and through the aid of my adopted daughter Karai, I was able to avoid death by dissection. I was then awakened to the fact that there existed a whole multiverse of ninja turtles and shredders, so being the being I am, I tried to destroy all ninja turtles, nearly destroying the multiverse in the process, before I got first hit with exploding shruikens and then disintegrated by a large laser from the Technodrome. Like the one whose identity I stole, fate has decided to give me life once more, albeit inside your brain, Mr…”
I spoke to them mentally.
“Hayden Saki. The only child and only member of the current generation of the Saki family in this world. So since I have you two in my head and..”
I paused, noticing that crimson red and black and orange caped suit of armor with a gauntlet and blades propped up in my closet.
“..that suit of armor inside my closet, what does that mean?”
The answer I got would change my entire life forever.
”You are now the present being in this world to take up the mantle of the Shredder.”
I was now the person that took the identity of a name that was already synonymous with death, destruction, and evil in another dimension, about to start the rest of my current Freshman year in the school that is my old school Crystal Prep’s rival.
Lord, help me please.
Canterlot High - First Day, Part 1
Walking up to the steps of Canterlot High, it seemed surreal that I would be going to the school that formerly, I had to consider my rival.
“I will admit, this school is remarkably different from schools I’ve seen in Japan and New York City” Chrell remarked inside my mind as I walked up the stairs into the school. Saki seemed to agree with him. I paid no heed to what they were saying as I walked into the main office and sat down.
“So are you Hayden Saki?” the clerk at the desk asked me. I gave a firm nod.
“Okay, young man. Your guide will be here to see you shortly.” She then turned to the intercom and spoke into it.
“Sunset Shimmer, please report to the front office.”
I took time to reflect on the name of my apparent guide to the school, as much as I could while Saki and Chrell sort of bickered.
”I will admit, even though being stuck in here is boring, it does give me a new perspective on how the mortals I used to look down on lived, even if I’m in the future in another dimension.”
”Bah! Enough sitting around! You should be razing this place to the ground!”
I had to snap back at Chrell for that mentally.
“Are you nuts?! I’m not going to go to jail on my first day here for burning down Canterlot High, Chrell! Pipe down, man, and let me do what I need to do! This is a school, not a war zone” I said inside my mind, causing Chrell to go silent just as the door opened and my guide stepped in.
