I'm Alive! Well sort of! anyways I have one other fic I am working on so stay tune!

"I failed you Nomicon."

Randy gripped his mask and took it off his face, he kept walking down the path to the dojo where he would often meditate at, Four years have passed and the only thing he could do was keep the Sorcerer at bay, he felt like a failure, he tried to achieve the Nomicon's expectations, but failed. At least, that's what he thinks. This is his last day of being the Ninja; he must pass on the mask to somebody else. It will be hard to move on; he will miss being "The Ninja" he would have to return to his normal wonky life, he had recently turned 18 and is not far from graduating High school, he knew the time was coming but he didn't know that Four years would go by so quickly, he doesn't even know if he could give the Nomicon up so easily, he had been through so much with the book.

Randy had spent all his time in The Nomicon, he wanted to spend every last moment with it before giving the book up, He had begged the Nomicon for an additional year, but the Nomicon had rejected his request saying it wouldn't be fair for the next potential Ninja. Randy entered the Dojo; he sat on the ground and closed his eyes. He could hear the wind blowing outside; it gave him a peace of mind. The Dojo's door closed shut interrupting his peace, he opened his eyes, he could see the tengu bird staring at him, Its black and red tail feathers reminds him of the suit, it's dark red eyes staring at him.

Blue lettering appeared in front of him, he looked up to see what the Nomicon had to say:

"Remember me and smile."

"Wonk Nomicon, what are you trying to do? Make me cry again?"

"Look back at your accomplishments."

"What accomplishments? I failed." Randy said sadly.

For the first the time ever, The Nomicon felt regret for leaving the Ninja, for the past 800 year it was quite normal to be passed down to one Ninja after another, the book never felt anything. Why should it? None of the Ninja's ever impressed it, until now. Randy had the true heart of the Ninja, but it must follow the rules the first Ninja had given the book, it must move on.

"You've learned so fast, no other Ninja has unlocked the skills you possess now."

"I failed you; I failed to stop the Sorcerer."

"You kept him at bay and that is more than enough for the next Ninja to-"

"And what happens if the Next Ninja fails huh?!" Randy shouted at the Nomicon, rudely interrupting it, "What if the Next Ninja leads Norrisville to its downfall?!"

The Nomicon remained silent, the book can sense Randy's anger, his face is towards the floor, fists shaking in anger.

"I am sorry Ninja, but your time is up. Now you must listen carefully to my instructions."

Randy looks up at the text

"You must meet someone at Norrisville High school before nightfall tomorrow, He will seek you out so you must wait patiently for him, from there you must give up the mask and I to him without hesitation, do you understand?"

A blue arrow pointed at "before Nightfall" proceeded by a circle circling around the word.

"Don't be late Ninja."

"I'll miss you Nomicon."

Randy is sucked out of the book; he could've sworn he saw the Nomicon wrote, "I'll miss you too."

Randy's vision was blurry for a second before he finally regained his sight, his best friend Howard is kneeling down to his level waving his hand in front of his face.

"Cunningham? You okay bro?"

Randy swats his hand away and gets up, "Yeah I am fine."

"So any dice? did the book give you an additional year?" Howard asked excited.

"No, I have to give the book back to some stranger."

"You don't know who this person is?"

Randy shakes his head, "Not a clue."

"So why give the mask and the book to somebody you dont even know?"

"Because I trust the Nomicon, has it ever wronged me before?"

"Yeah, when it told you a ninja cannot have friends.

"Okay maybe that one time, but it hasnt wronged me since."

Randy grabs his mask and puts it on his face, the bindings safetly wraps itself around his body.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to be the Ninja once last time," He grinned under his mask, "You comin' bro?"

I have mixed feelings about this fic, but thats probably because I am in a meh mood, but anyways I hope I didnt make Randy too OOC, If so, I can re-do this.

I'll fix grammar mistakes later. Bye for now!

Ps: ONE MORE CHAPTER TO GO.
