Usagi "Ryaaahhh!" Bandits "!" Bandits "Eeyahhh--!" Bandit A "💀" Usagi "Eh?" Woman A "Thank you, Usagi-san!" Man A "Thank you!" |
Page 4[]
Usagi "Do I know you?" Woman B "No, but we knew you would rescue us!" Man B "This section of the road is infested with bandits..." Man A "...But the old one assured us that you would protect us on our pilgrimage to the eighty-eight shrines." Usagi " "The old one"?" Man B "He is expecting you..." Man A "...In the cave in the green grotto." |

Usagi "He's waiting for me, huh? Well, this is a mystery too intriguing to be ignored." Man B "Boy, that was exciting, but the old one assured us that we would be safe for the remainder of our journey." [Soon.] Usagi "Eh--?" RUMMMBBB Usagi "Earthquake!" |
Page 6[]
RRRUUMMMMMBBBLLLLL... Usagi "{Phew!} It's subsiding!" Usagi "It wasn't a very big one, but they have been occurring a lot more often lately." Usagi "That must be the cave!" Kakera "You're late!" Usagi "Who?" |
Page 7[]
Usagi "Kakera-sensei*!" [*UY Saga #1 'Shades of Green'] Kakera "As I said--you're late!" Usagi "I did not know I was expected." Kakera "I require your help once again, Usagi." Usagi "Oh?" Kakera "I carry a most valuable object, which I must deliver to Tashima Shrine." Kakera "But there is one who knows of my mission and would stop me!" Usagi "So you require a yojimbo**!" [**Bodyguard.] |
Page 8[]
Kakera "I fear, though, that your skills alone are no match for this one. You will need companions!" Kakera "You know who I mean." Usagi "And I know what you need." [And so...] Usagi "Fortunately, we're in a grotto." SPLASH! Usagi "Ha!" Usagi "Got one!" Soon... Usagi "I got them, Kakera-sensei!" Kakera "Lay them out." |

Leonardo "<Where are we?!>" Donatello "<What's going on?>" Donnie "<Whoa--! A giant rat!>" Michelangelo "<Take a look at that bunny!>" Leo "<Defense positions!>" Usagi "What are they saying?" |
Page 12[]
Raph "<Well, the best defense is a strong offense!>" Leo "<Raph--wait!>" Raph "Floo--!" WHACK! Raph "Ow!" Mikey "<Raph--!>" Raph "Uhh--!" |
Page 13[]
Raph "<That bunny looks like you could take him out with a pizza to his face-->" Raph "<But that rat--!>" Leo "<Get the rat! I'll take the rabbit!>" Usagi "Leo--don't you recognize me? It's Usagi!" TANGG! Leo "<Mikey's the only one of us who speaks Japanese, but it's obvious you're some kind of mutant baddie!>" Usagi "You are not the Leo I know!" Usagi "Are you a demon who has possessed him?" |
Page 14[]
Usagi "What have you done to my friend, Leo?" Leo "<So, you're better with the sword than you look, eh, long ears?>" TANG! TANK! TANG! Usagi "How can one so bulky be so agile?" TANG! TANG! TANG! TANG! TANG! TANG! TANG! TANG! TANG! TANG! TANG! TANG! TANG! TANG! TANG! TANG! TANG! Usagi & Leo "Hhiiyaaahhhhh" |
Page 15[]
Kakera "Stop!" Leo "Huh?" Usagi "Eh--?" Kakera "You are my turtles... But from a different reality than the last time I called you forth." Leo "Hey, the rat is speaking English!" Usagi "No, he continues to speak my language." Leo "Hey--! I can understand you too! What has that rat done to us?" Leo "You said you called us." Leo "Why?" Kakera "Time is short. I will tell you everything as we journey." |
Page 16[]
[And so...] Tokage "Eep!" Usagi "What is this object we must deliver to Kashima Shrine?" Donnie "Yeah, can we see it, or is it too mystical for our ordinary eyes?" Kakera "No, I can show it to you." Kakera "Behold!" Donnie "{Gasp!}" Mikey "{Gasp!}" Leo "{Gasp!}" Raph "{Gasp!}" Usagi "{Gasp!}" Mikey "Wait a minute--!" Raph "It's a rock!" Kakera "No ordinary rock. If we do not complete our task our entire land will be destroyed!" Kakera "I will explain." |
Page 17[]
Kakera "A giant catfish named Namazu lives in the bowls of the Earth under our land. Any movement, even a swish of its tail, will cause disruptions--earthquakes--on the surface." [Countless centuries ago, the great deity, Kashima-no-Okami, the god of thunder, fought the great creature.] [The land was nearly torn apart by the struggle...] [But Kashima finally subdued Namazu, trapping it under a massive rock called Kanameishi.] |
Page 18[]
[A part of the Kanameishi is exposed on the grounds of Kashima Jingu.] effect-1 "BAKADOON!" Kakera "During a dispute among the gods, Kashima hurled down a bolt that broke off a piece of the sacred rock." Kakera "Because of that, the Kanameishi's power has gradually diminished..." Kakera "...While Namazu's strength has increased until now where he has the power to destroy the country above him." Kakera "The fragment has passed through many hands..." Kakera "...Eventually coming into my possession." |
Page 19[]
Kakera "We must continue on now." Kakera "The fish gains more strength each day. Earthquakes occur more frequently." Kakera "Soon Namazu will break free of the capstone completely..." Kakera "...And tear this land apart!" Donnie "Unbelievable!" Mikey "You said it! A giant catfish?! You've got to be joking!" Usagi "No! He's right!" Usagi "There have been more earthquakes in recent times! We must repair the stone!" Kakera "The route will be perilous!" |
Page 20[]
Donnie "I'm sure it's nothing we can't handle." Mikey "Cool it, Don. This whole world is new to us." Usagi "What is this danger you say we will face?" Kakera "Our opponent is a gaunt figure of unimaginable evil who deludes himself into believing he is a servant of the ten thousand gods of our land." Kakera "Do you know of whom I speak?" Usagi "Jei!" Bandit "Is that them?" Jei "Yes." |
Page 21[]
Bandit H "That long-eared samurai fights like a demon!" Jei "I'll take care of him. The others, though, are unknown to me." Bandit I "They look tough!" Bandit J "{Feh!} They're no match for all of us!" Jei "I gathered together all you brigands in this area. Your numbers should be more than enough to overwhelm those strangers." Bandit J "You promised us treasures beyond our imagination. They don't look like they are carrying anything of value." Jei "Not all treasures are tangible." Bandit J "Well, we want to become rich! So far you've given us nothing but empty promises." Jei "I am an emissary of the gods. They send me forth to destroy evil in this land." |
Page 22[]
Jei "This country is on the verge of destruction. If there is no more land, there is no more evil. That is why we must stop them." Jei "You help me do the work of the gods!" Bandit J "You're insane! I'm leaving! Who's coming with me?" Jei "No one leaves!" Jei "Haaah-- Gyahh!" SHOOP! Bandit J "!" Bandit J "Ah·ah·ah·gaaaaahhhh" |
Page 23[]
Bandit J "💀" Jei "If you will not follow me through greed---" Jei "--you will follow me through fear." Jei "Will anyone else leave?" Jei "I thought not." Jei "Come on." Jei "We must arrive at Kashima Shrine before they do." |
Page 24[]
[Later.] Raph "It looks like we've arrived." Kakera "Yes. Kashima Shrine." Donnie "Wow! Impressive!" Raph "That was pretty easy." Leo "Yeah. I thought it would have been a lot more difficult." Mikey "Yeah, with the fate of the country and all that." Donnie "It's actually a bit of a let-down." Kakera "What's that?" Mikey "Uh-oh! We spoke too soon!" Jei "Heh! Heh! Heh!" Bandits "Hhiiyaaahhh!" |
Page 25[]
Raph "Hiyah!" Bandit K "Gloof!" Bandit L "!" Bandit M "Augh!" Kakera "Kanameishi!" Bandit N "Ow!" Bandit O "Gluck!" Bandit P "Gurk!" Jei "Heh! Heh!" Bandit Q "Gahh!" |
Page 26[]
Usagi "Jei--the blade of the gods!" Leo "He's the leader of this bunch? He doesn't look like much!" Bandit R "Gurk!" BONK! Bandit S "Flooo!" |
Page 27[]
Kakera "Get out of my way!" Leo "He's father than I thought!" Leo "He's taking on the both of us with ease!" Kakera "I must hurry!" RRRRRRRR RRRRRR Donnie "What?!" Mikey "Earthquake!" Mikey "It's the big one!" |

MMMBBBBLLLLEEEEEEEE-- Leo "Usagi!" Jei "Heh! heh! heh!" Kakera "<indecipherable>" |

Jei "Heh! heh! heh!" Kakera "<indecipherable>" Leo "Usagi!" Leo "I've got your back!" Jei "Ha!" WOK! Usagi "Uh--!" |
Page 33[]
TANG! TANG! TANG! TANG! TANG! TANG! TANG! Usagi "....." CHOK "" Leo "Ow!" Jei "Kakera..." Kakera "<indecipherable>" |
Page 34[]
Leo "Uh..." Usagi "Jei--!" Jei "Heh, heh, heh!" Kakera "<indecipherable>" Leo "No!" Jei "Hyah!" Kakera "Ten*!" [*Heaven] |

BAKADOON! FLOOOOMM! SWISHHH--! |
Page 37[]
Usagi "....." SCURRY! SCURRY! "" Usagi "Hmmm...?" Usagi "Yuck! Spider!" Usagi "I hate spiders!" Spider "Yow!" Mikey "You guys all right?" Leo "Yeah. I think so." Usagi "Where's Kakera-sensei?" Kakera "Here." Mikey "It looks like all the baddies ran off--those that were still able to, that is!" Usagi "Your hand--!" Kakera "Don't worry. It will heal." Kakera "I hope." |
Page 38[]
Leo "What happened to the stone?" Kakera "It plunged itself deeper into the Earth, pinning Namazu all the more securely. That small bit is all that is exposed on the surface now." Donnie "And that broken spear is all that's left of Jei, huh?" Donnie "Good riddance." Leo "So, the country is safe? The danger is past?" Kakera "Yes. Thanks to all of you." Kakera "Now there is no need for the four of you to remain." Leo "I don't know. I'd like to explore this land a bit." Kakera "That will be for another time." |
Page 39[]
[And so...] Leo "You're all right, Usagi! I hope we meet again." Usagi "As do I. I would like to test my skills against yours!" Leo "I'm looking forward to it, buddy!" Leo (I like this guy's confidence! I can learn a lot from him in leading my brothers.) Kakera "Hyah!" Kakera "Ku! Chi! Ka! Sui! Fu!" Kakera "Kamé!" Grotto Turtle "?" |

Usagi "Where did they go?" Kakera "Back to where they are needed." Usagi "I had better get you guys to a pond." Usagi "Thank you for saving my country." Usagi "Farewell, Kakera-sensei." Kakera "Farewell, Usagi-san." Kakera "...Until I need you again." |
