A/n: Yoo! This is the new version of, "Long Live The Norisu Nine" This chapter hadn't changed much, just some spelling errors that needed to be corrected. The second chapter is where I start editing everything.
Houses burned to crisps, children screaming for their parents, parent searching for their children. A laugh is heard as chaos spreading across the village of Norrisville, The whole family of the Norisu nine dead, but one.
the Sorcerer appeared before the last Norisu with a huge grin on his face, it was a bloody battle that lasted for days it was fun while it lasted, The Sorcerer watched as the clan members fell by his hand, the anger and despair from the last Ninja caused the Sorcerer to become more stronger, the last clan member steps forward, he is badly hurt, The Sorcerer watches him as he drags himself over to him, blood emits from his leg making a huge trail behind him, he bows his head in defeat.
"I see you reached an agreement Norisu."
He held his stomach to prevent himself from bleeding anymore, but it doesn't seem to work, he will be lucky if he drops dead now and not see The Sorcerer spread any more chaos, his heart can't handle it, and hearing children cry for their parents doesn't really help either.
"I'll let you live, for a price."
"What is your price, Sorcerer?" He asked, "What do you want from me?"
"Every year a new Ninja will aid me."
His Successors were now going to suffer a horrible fate.
"Starting with you."
No.
"And then in four years, you will help me find a new Ninja.
He stood quiet as the Sorcerer waited for an answer...
...
...
He had to give an answer soon,
No, he'd rather fight.
Cue to present day Norrisville, The Sorcerer has control of the town, and completely sealed the town off from the rest of the world. A green force field prevents anyone from leaving or entering the town, people who try to escape will be severely punished and charged with treason. Curfew is at 10 o'clock, no exceptions, due to rebel activity. Anyone caught outside after hours would be punished. That does not stop people from wandering around at night, defying the Sorcerer's orders.
A lot of people in the town learned to live with it, however, there are people out there who try to rebel, it never ends well with them.
It's because of the Ninja.
The people of Norrisville did not have just one person to fear, they had two, and that was the Ninja. People described him as, "The Sorcerer's Puppet," He did everything the Sorcerer ordered him to. The Ninja was often seen at night, watching everyone to make sure they didn't disobey the rules. If they did, the Ninja will handle them and turned them in.
They were rumors that the mayor of the town, Hannibal Mcfist worked with the Sorcerer. The Sorcerer had recruited him and a scientist named Viceroy to find a Ninja every four years. It wasn't hard, they had something of the Ninja's they can use to their advantage.
"School is about to start..." Howard said, groaning. Not looking forward to starting school again, he laid down on his bed and stares at the wall. "Wonk."
"Relax Howard!" Randy gave him a small smile, "Nothing will happen."
"You always say that Cunningham, but it gets worse." Howard rolls his eyes at his friend's optimism, he is always happy, even in the worst of situations.
Randy sighs at him, "I'm just trying to help; I know everybody is on edge lately due to the chance of being chosen, they don't want to be the new Ninja, and I get it. To be honest, I'm scared too."
"And," Howard continued, "The fact that you never get to see the person again."
Randy nods sadly, "Who was it the last time?"
"Some girl, I don't remember her name."
No one knew what would happen to the Ninja after four years, rumors had it that the Sorcerer would just kill them, but that was just speculation.
"Just relax," Randy smiles at him again, he pats his back to comfort his friend, "It will be okay, I promise."
"What happens if you become the Ninja?" Howard asked.
"It won't happen."
"But what happens if you do?"
"Then I will be different, I'll make myself good."
"Promise?" Howard stood up to face Randy, "Promise me now."
"I won't turn evil."
"Good." He smiles back at him in relief.
The dreadful day has arrived, school. Silence filled the hallways of Norrisville High school. They took notice of ninth graders people crying silently, some were in groups, hugging each other thinking that this will be the last time they will ever see each other again.
"What a bunch of scary babies," Howard said.
"You would be crying too, if you were chosen to be the Ninja," Randy retorted.
The bell rings signaling the start of class, the ninth graders enter homeroom, and sat down in silence as their homeroom teacher took attendance. Once the attendance was taken there was a soft knock at the door.
Viceroy stepped in with two robo apes behind him, the robo apes were eyeing the students. As if they were scanning them.
"Hello, my name is Willem Viceroy and I am a scientist at Mcfist industries- uh," Viceroy said, when he received no response, he continued, "Right so, I'm sure you know every four years, A new Ninja is chosen to work for the Sorcerer, Now—"he stops in mid-sentence to get out a book, "This book here is to help me find the new Ninja."
The book looked familiar to Randy, he did not understand why. He had never seen the book before, so why did he have that feeling that he had seen it before? What stood out to Randy the most was the upside down nine symbol in front of the book.
Viceroy walks around the classroom, so far the book does not react to any student, he passes Howard much to his relief, Viceroy walks down towards Randy's direction, the book starts to glow.
"It seems our Ninja is close," Viceroy said.
Randy pales as Viceroy got close to him; he notices the green glow from the Nomicon getting stronger.
"I think we found our Ninja."
Viceroy puts his hand on Randy's shoulder; Randy pales and looks over at Howard who gives him a sad look.
"Come on now."
Randy remained seated on his chair, he had no intention leaving with them willingly, "Please, I don't want to be the Ninja."
He sighs and snaps his fingers, the robo apes eyes turned red. The robo ape's turned to Viceroy, awaiting orders.
"Take him," Viceroy said.
Randy pushes the desk forward as the Robot apes closes in on him, he backs up against the wall, the robot apes grab him by the arm and smashes his head to the ground. The robot apes slung Randy over its shoulders.
"I won't turn evil! I won't! I won't be like them! This isn't me! This isn't me! HOWARD!" Randy pounded his fist on the robo ape's metallic back, he thrashed and squirmed as much as he can, but it was no use.
Howard shrunk in his seat and covers his ears, not wanting to hear anymore, "I'm sorry Randy, I'm so sorry."
Howard listened to his friend's screams before it faded away, when he looked back up. His friend is gone. Howard just sat there, mumbling his apologies over and over, all eyes are on him, but he pays them no mind. The damage was done. His friend is gone forever and he did nothing to stop them.
