Mother Mercy turned us into slaves ever since she appeared in a glowing ball of light descending from the skies, with her mirages and enchantments and her heavily armed consort.
They were bounty hunters, genetic modified mutants created to exterminate all naturally free born peanuts. Peanuts Assassins!
The day they arrived is etched on my mind, so many butchered, bellies opened, and Mother Mercy smiling complacently at the scene, while most of my family was agonizing.
Young as I was, I could sense they fed from our sorrow, they basked in it. They made me sick.
I have been a slave ever since, but I made a vow, to never forget that image and take revenge, and I have trained ever since, waiting for the right time.
I may well be the only ninja peanut left in the world but I'll make butter of them, you'll see.
