A/N: I don't own Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja or any other shows mentioned

Chapter One: Calling All Killers

Hannibal slammed his robotic fist down onto his desk in anger as he watched yet another one of his top scientist be destroyed by the Ninja. It was getting redundant, now matter what type of machine the hero Norrisville would be able overcome his creation and destroy it and he knew that the Sorcerer's patience was wearing even thinner with every failure. As he sat at his desk, grumbling in anger at the sight before him, Viceroy stepped into his office with a fresh cup of coffee in his hand.

"So let me guess: the Ninja destroyed the Taratultron?" the mad scientist asked in an unimpressed tone "How am I not surprised?"

"You said that it was unstoppable Viceroy!" his employer shouted in rage

"You said it was unstoppable Hannibal" the inventor sharply corrected "I told you it was just a prototype, but you said and I quote 'I don't care Viceroy, make it fight the Ninja now!'"

"Oh what's the use, whatever we throw at the Ninja he just figures out how to destroy it!" the evil business groaned as he face palmed "It's like he's learned how destroy all of our robots just by looking at them!"

It was then that his right hand man had an idea pop into his head, true the Ninja was starting to anticipate any and all machines he created, but their where others ways to get the job and the best part was they wouldn't have to do a thing.

"A thought just came to me Hannibal" he began as he approached "What if we had someone else destroy the Ninja for us?"

"You mean like hire someone? Absolutely not!" Mcfist snapped back "I'm not paying a bunch of trigger happy yahoos to go after the Ninja and cause property damage that I'll have to pay for in the process!"

"Have you got any better ideas?" Viceroy questioned, narrowing his eyes as he did "Besides, I'm suggesting that we put a hit out on the Ninja and only pay the one that does him in"

"Eh I don't know Viceroy, I'm still not completely sold on the whole thing" Hannibal mused "I mean how much would it take to get people interested?"

"Oh I'd say around…a billion dollars" the mad scientist surmised

Upon hearing this, the evil businessman's whole body stiffened as he clutched his chest began to gag dramatically as he fell back further into his chair. Rather call for help; Viceroy merely rolled his eyes at his employer's melodramatics and waited for him to be done.

"And just what was that?" he asked off-handily

"That was me having a mini mcstroke after hearing that amount of money you just suggested!" Hannibal exclaimed "There is no way on this earth that I'd shell out that much to some gun for hire, even if they killed the Ninja!"

"You wanna try saying that to the Sorcerer when he comes calling?" Viceroy mentioned, motioning to their master's viewing screen

""I mean this was all my plan!" Hannibal cheered

Viceroy merely facepalmed and sighed deeply, it was too early in the day to deal with this.

"Spread the word all over the net Viceroy! A billion dollar bounty on the Ninja for one week only!" he ordered "I don't care who does it, I don't care how it's done, but I want that little pest's head brought to me before the week's over!"

"Why just a week?" the evil geniuses inquired

"I want to have this to have good turnout and nothing says good turnout like the promise of fleeting money" Hannibal explained

"That's pretty clever of you Hannibal" his right hand man complemented "I'm actuality impressed"

"I know, I am to" his boss replied happily with a smile

With that, Viceroy went off to send the message throughout the world, leaving Hannibal alone to chuckle darkly at what he hoped would be the Ninja's demise.

Copper Canyon

It was hard to accumulate a large amount of money for research and development for toxic chemicals; it was harder to get money for said research and development when you were a hulking multination of a mentally unstable scientist who was a known criminal. That very problem plagued Dr. Octavius Xander, however while searching the internet for cheap chemicals he came across a site that was offering a massive amount of money for the death of hero known as the Ninja in a town called Norrisville. Now Xander was by no means a killer for hire, but the money that was being offered was more then enough to help him cover his research.

"I know it's a completely beneath me fishy, but we need the money to help with our work" he said to the plastic fish with a bowler hat on in the bowl sitting next to him in his lair "Pack your bags fishy, were headed to Norrisville"

He then sucked up the plastic fish into his tank and began his journey to slay this Ninja and collect the reward.

Megadale

Dr. Xander wasn't the only one who was in desperate need of funding for their evil schemes, their was a villain in Megadale the required money for his own wicked inventions, however the city's protector whom he once admired was constantly getting in his way, so when he heard about the ridiculous amount of cash that was being put out for the Ninja's head, he jumped at the chance to try to take his shot at hero. He quickly gathered up a few items here and there for the long ride to Norrisville and bolted out the door of his lair to win big.

"This is going to be fun" he said to himself as he created an ice slide "Lookout Norrisville, because winter is coming early!"

Fair City

When the girl first heard about the hit on the Norrisville Ninja, she scoffed at the chump change the anonymous client was offering, her family had triple what this person was offering. So the girl shrugged it off at first, however the more she thought about it, the more she began to fret; what if someone other then her killed the Ninja? Then they would be the best hero killer in the world and that was something she could not allow. So it was for that reason and that reason alone that she decided to go after the hero of Norrisville.

"After all, I'm the best" she thought to herself with a dark smirk on her face

Amity Park

Money was not the reason for the hunter to take the contract on the Ninja's head; it was for the thrill of the hunt. He had heard whispers of the Ninja's skills over the years and longed to test his strength to see if he was a worthy trophy, it was high time he did that, considering that he was not among the living anymore, besides he wanted to hunt something other then that pesky ghost-child for a change.

"Let us see if you are a challenge for me Ninja" the hunter said as he flew upwards into the sky

Townsville

While the hunter was in for sport, the woman was in it for just the money, like the hunter she had heard tales about the Ninja, but she had enemies of her own to deal with, however it would be nice to battle someone who couldn't punch her through a brick wall. After gathering up a few things she needed for the trip (such as shampoo, a curling iron and a hairnet) she was out the door of her lair and ready to kill this so called great hero.

"You better watch yourself Ninja, because here I come" she said with a wicked laugh

Unknown location

The time the word loyalty ever came up the mercenary was when he added 'the highest bidder' to the end of the sentence, so when he heard about the billion dollar bounty on some Ninja in a town he never heard of, he jumped at the chance to ditch the commander and his insane plans for a little while to make some extra cash in his pocket. So after gathering up his weapons, he 'borrowed' one the commander's boats and charted a course back to the states.

"You best watch you back mate, 'cause I'm about to put a knife through it!" he declared in an Australian accent

Unknown Location

The second the boy say the price on the Ninja's head, he instantly spat out the root beer onto the computer screen. With that kind of money he could build better robots a hundred times over, he had to put his mark on the contract before either Ashley or that fat ninja found out. He summoned up his machines and was out of his base in less than ten minutes, ready to bring down the hero and claim the prize for himself; he might be able to also finally prove himself to his idol after he slew the Ninja.

"Let's role out Jack-Bots!" he commanded his machines as he activated his heli-backpack

Miracle City

"Young lady, we are criminals, not bounty hunters"

"But mom, this turn out is a billion dollars, how can we say no?"

"The girl has a point Carmelita; this could be our big break"

"I don't know, it just seems so….under us"

"Come on mom please! Please! Please!"

"Alright, but this trip better be worth the gas I'm going to have spend on the way there"

"Yay! Oh thank you mother!"

"Well what are we waiting for ladies; let's go kill us a Ninja!"

Unknown Island Base

The young woman rolled her eyes at rather stupid plane her boss had cooked up. Like the others, they to had heard about the billion dollar bounty, but rather then head out together to slay the ninja, the woman employer got the bright idea to just send her to the job.

"So you want to me to go to Norrisville alone, bust my ass trying to kill a Ninja and then bring back all that prize money back here?" his right hand woman asked

"Uh, yes" he absent mindedly replied

"Yeah no, that's not happening" she answered him sharply

"I'd go with you, but someone's got to watch the base in case certain annoying red-head decides to drop in" the mad doctor explained "Besides I have utmost faith in you"

"Whatever doc, but I'm so getting half of that reward money" she informed him as she left the base to begin her mission

"I agree to no such terms!" he shouted back

New York, the west side

When the news of the job reached New York, a brother/sister team of assassins where more then pleased with the thought of skinning someone alive for money was more then enough incentive to head out to Norrisville now that their previous boss had gone the straight and narrow.

"You do realize that they'll be more then likely be others who are going to be after the Ninja right?" the young man asked his psychotic sibling

"Good, I could use a body count" she answered as her cybernetic arm morphed into a buzzsaw

New York, the east side

While some set out to kill the Ninja for either money, sport or for their own reasons, there was one group who their hats into the fray for another motive. When the infamous Foot Clan received word of the Ninja's bounty their leader decided it was the perfect chance to take the hero of Norrisville's most prized treasure: the NinjaNomicon. He wanted to unlock the ancient books secrets and use it for his own dark goals, however he was already embroiled in a war with his arch-rivals and his four sons, so like the mad scientist, he would emissaries of his own carry out his will.

"Once you arrive in Norrsiville, seek out the Ninja and crush him" the leader of the Foot Clan ordered his minions "then bring me the NinjaNomicon"

"Of course master" one of his two warriors replied who looked like a wolf-like creature

"And know this, if you do not return with the book, then do not return at all" their master continued as he popped out his wrist blades to get the point across "If you value your lives…"

"We will not fail you!" his second warrior, an eel like creature with robot legs quickly answered

"Good, now go…." He commanded them darkly, to which they both did

And so the stage was set as the players were taking their places for what was sure to be the greatest battle in the entire history of the Ninja's long lasting legacy, a battle that the current Ninja may not be able to walk away from.
