Randy was exhausted. Having to take down Stanked Bucky was harder than he thought it would be.
All he wanted to do was go home and sleep, but he wasn't sure if he could after learning what The Sorcerer's stank could do. He figured he'd look around a bit and make sure nothing else got stanked..that is if other things could get stanked. He shuddered at the thought of a stanked chicken.
He gently slid on his mask and looked around the school, occasionally hiding in case someone was watching.
He sighed as he sat on top of a locker. Nothing had caught his sight as anything suspicious. He'd wasted hours of sleep for a stupid suspicion he had!
Randy was about to hop down for the locker when he heard a scurrying sound. He froze for a second and scanned the area.
His eyes caught sight of a rat.
He sighed in annoyance. His paranoia was acting up and it wasn't good for him. The rat stared at him and cocked it's head to the side. It seemed to be thinking before scurrying off.
"Have fun dealing with the janitor, buddy." Randy said sarcastically to the rodent. Then he paused. "Wait..I protect the school...do I protect the animals here too?"
He thought for a moment more, his thinking starting to lean towards going home and sleeping. However it seemed like his body acted on his own when he followed the rat.
"Come here little guy!" Randy said as he followed it into the basement.
The Ninja paused when he saw an eery green glow ahead. The rat ran towards it.
This caught him off guard and he followed it again.
He paused behind a wall when he heard a smooth voice say "There you are..."
Randy felt stiff and cold, his heart beat fast.
"Why would you leave me alone in these chains?" The voice continued.
Randy's head became sore as he broke out in a cold swear.
"Did you find him?" The Sorcerer asked. There was a moment of silence. "I meant the ninja you dumb rodent!"
Randy felt his muscles relax when he figured out the voice wasn't talking to him.
Wait...rodent?
Randy peeked behind the wall to see what was going on.
The rat was there, squeaking his little lungs out in someone's hand.
A green hand.
Randy broke out in a cold sweat again. Could this be the Sorcerer? He looked so similar to the drawings the Nomicon had shown him.
His breath became heavy and fear boiled up inside of him. The Ninja managed to escape without being caught and hurried home.
Randy took off the mask and panted in fear and from all the running. His heart pounded heavily against his ribcage and it ached.
All he wanted to do now was sleep. Before he could lay down however, he saw a flash of red.
Randy annoyingly sighed and picked up the Nomicon. He sloompd inside it and was greeted with:
Curiosity may give you the knowledge you seek, but it can also cause great pain.
Randy looked at the words curiously. "Knowledge...Pain...I don't...I-I mean...What!?"
The Nomicon kicked him out. Randy pouted a bit before snuggling into his bed to sleep.
