"Appear!" The ninja shouted. In a puff of red smoke, he was where he wasn't before. On top of the lunchroom table. He wore a skintight suit that had short sleeves and shorts on the end. On the sleeves was a jagged red stripe that reached the end and on each of the shorts was a single red stripe circling the shorts. The belt he wore was made of red fabric and it stuck to him like it was super glue. The was one large one and a small one above the small one that reached just up to his pecs. On his legs were red tights that cut off about two inches above his ankle where his black boots were and on his arms were gloves that crossed between red and black and stopped as red on the end with the hand being fingerless gloves.
The student body cheered as the ninja stared straight at the monster: a student that had gotten jealous when his girlfriend dumped him for another guy. "Your reign of terror on this cafeteria is about to end! And on French Fryday? Really? Do you want me to lose all my french fry privileges?" The ninja angrily declared. He brought out his sword and shouted, "Prepare to taste blade; just like how I should be tasting french fries!" He flipped off the table and landed with his sword behind him and then shot up into the air and side-kicked the monster in the head, leaving it dazed. The ninja landed on the ground. "Now what's making him evil?" He wondered aloud. He scrutinized the body, scanning for any possible items. "Hmm…" He took too long and was sent flying into the wall by a foot that knocked the wind out of him. "Wow!" He coughed out. "That was painful!" The monster neared him, as the students at the table next to the wall cowered in fear and scampered away like cockroaches fleeing from the light. "VANISH!" the ninja shouted and in a puff of red smoke disappeared from everyone's sight. The monster looked around in confusion until he heard, "APPEAR!" And felt something on top of his head.
The ninja was standing on his head, sword in hand, with the tip of the blade on his forehead. The monster swatted at him, but the ninja just avoided his attacks. He used his scarf as a grapple onto one of the lights and hovered mid air in front of the monster. "Hi." He waved. The monster tried to swat him onto his face like a fly but the ninja let go and the monster slapped itself. "What is making this kid evil?" He thought. "Maybe it's the picture!" He thought, looking at the picture in the monster's hands. "Well, that took me long enough to find out." He jumped onto the monster's stomach that was knocked down and tried yanking it from its grasp. "It's hold is….too tight! I...can't...get...it free!" The ninja collapsed and landed on the stomach of the monster which grabbed him off of the ground and slammed him into a table getting his mask dirty with ketchup.
Before the monster lifted him off of the ground, the ninja grabbed a french fry and swiped off the ketchup with it and ate it quickly. "French fries." He sighed in glee. It didn't last long. The ninja was launched into the hallway, landing at the feet of his sister. "Hey sis." he said. "Hey, Ninja." He answered. The ninja's sister knew his secret identity so he didn't have to hid it from her. He flipped to his feet and reached for his sword, but to his despair it was still in the lunchroom. The monster emerged from the lunchroom, destroying the plaster wall that kept it intact. The ninja blocked a cinder block that was chucked at him and he grabbed his sister by the shoulder and quickly shoved her into the elevator. "Get the Ninja Nomicon! Now! It's in my locker!"
He brought out his sais and announced, "Sai, every day, it's the same thing." A cowering kid in the corner laughed. The ninja leapt from the ground and launched his scarf at the monster's waist. " I'm back!" His sister shouted. "Great! Hold on one sec." It wrapped around it and he swung himself in circles before kicking the monster to the ground and pinning it's arms with his sais. "Okay, keep him entertained while I go in." His sister looked angry. "Ninja, you want me to stay here with that?" She asked. "Hannah, look. I don't ask you for much. Just do me this one solid." She groaned and opened the book. The ninja's existence was sucked into the book as his body went limp. She kicked his side and gently stepped on his hand. "Stupid ninja."
The ninja landed as his secret identity, Phil Trafford. He looked up to see what the Nomicon had for him this time. "'If the ninja does not take his time, he will rush.' Oh that's great, Nomicon. Could you help me out there? That monster is something. The Nomicon sent his existence back out to his body where his side and hand ached. "Ow! Did you kick me?" He asked and Hannah chuckled. "You're going to hear it when we get home." He whispered angrily.
"Okay, freakshow! Let's go!" He shouted as he did a flip over the monster. "Catch me if you can!" He booked it back into the cafeteria, the monster hunting him down. He took a quick detour to yank his sword out of the ground that resulted in almost getting bashed into the ground next to it and lured it outside. It faced him in rage and threw a punch at him only to be deflect it and have its arm sliced off by the blade. "Thank god, that arm was annoying as hell." Suddenly a piercing siren grabbed everyone's attention. The principal was standing on a large crate and had a bullhorn. "Attention everyone! Is this thing on? Hello? Hello?" A screech came out of it that even made the ninja and the monster stop. "Hello! Despite the monster attack, it is still a school day. All students are to return to their classes effective immediately. AKA NOW!" He shouted. He proceeded to step off the crate and herd the students back into the school.
"No! I have a serious test next period and I CANNOT miss it." The ninja said fear striking him in the gut. Or maybe that was the strike the monster gave him. "Okay, yep! I am NOT done with you. Yet." The ninja said before spiking off the ground and knocking the monster to the ground. He dragged it with his superhuman strength into the shed and locked it. The janitor turned the corner to grab something but the ninja stopped him. "Yeah, you don't want to go in there. Major monster alert." He told it. The janitor nodded and whistled as he went in the opposite direction. "Okay, I have a test with Mrs. Bates and she's right by Mr. Andrews so if I want to get there…" The ninja began. He sprinted full speed at the building, snatching his sword along the way. With a strong grunt, he flipped onto the building and onto the second story. He climbed in through a window to notice the class was staring at him. "Uh...official ninja business. I have to...inspect the halls." He said before rushing out. He popped his head back in, "Oh, and you won't see me because I'm a ninja. Sneaky is my thing." He bolted it down the hallway, taking off his mask in the process. He stuffed it in his shirt pocket and stopped at his locker to grab his books and then went to Mrs. Bates' room. He noticed the class staring at him and his sister in the back mouthing the word "Monster." He replied, "Shed." She grew infuriated and he swore she turned redder than his suit. Mrs. Bates placed the test on his desk and the rules were as soon as you finished a test, you could leave and roam the halls. Phil answered every question as quickly as he could without even thinking about the answers and turned it in. He burst out the door and ran to his locker, stuffing his stuff in and giving a snarky comment to the buzzing book.
Suddenly, a school bus destroyed the wall beside him and smashed into the one next to him. Since he had become the ninja, his reflexes enhanced, with or without the suit so he narrowly avoided it. He saw the tranquil in the bus driver's' eyes and was puzzled. If he had been thrown thirty feet off the ground into a school hallway while inside of a school bus, he'd be shaken to the max. He looked out of the gaping hole in the wall and saw that the monster had escape and was terrorizing the janitor from earlier. You just can't listen, can you? He groaned. He lined up at the end of the wall and sprinted out the hole and quickly pulled the mask over his head. The suit magically wrapped around his body as he landed on the ground. He threw a smoke bomb at the ground and struck a wicked pose. "APPEAR!" The look of relief washed over the faces of the victims while the look of fury burned in the retinas of the monster. The ninja brought out his chain-sickle and launched it at the monster. The monster retaliated by wrapping it around his arm and dragging the ninja closer to him. "Nope! Not today!" The ninja flipped over the monster and swing him in circles until the picture fluttered out of his hands and floated slowly to the ground. The ninja let go of the chain-sickle and unsheathed his sword from where ever it came from and severed the image in half. The two halves floated to the ground as the monster recovered and threw the chain-sickle at the ninja.
He jumped and caught it mid air. "I don't get it. What is going to turn him back?" He wondered. Scribbles floated into his vision encrypting the same thing the Nomicon said earlier. "If the ninja does not take his time, he will rush. But what does that have to do with my situation?" The monster jerked its arm, knocking the ninja to the ground. He eyed the two halves and saw that it was of a picture of his friend. "Melany? She didn't tell me she was seeing him." Suddenly flashbacks of her talking about her boyfriend taking their relationship too fast fluttered into his mind. "Oh…" He said. "Wait. She said he was taking it too fast! He was rushing the relationship! That's why she dumped him! But if he takes it slow…" The ninja jumped off of the ground and to his feet before standing straight up. "Heyo, monster!" The angry creature growled at him, saliva splattering all over his suit. "Disgusting." He said wiping it off of his face. "You want Melany? I'll take you to Melany! Or better yet, I'll bring her to you! Just wait here." He was about to jump back into the school when the monster barked at him like a dog. "I dunno, count flowers or something."
The ninja emerged from the hole he had exited and dashed down the hallways to the classroom Melany was in and knocked lightly on the door. No answer. He could hear the feisty monster getting restless out there so he knocked harder. No answer. The monster roared and he heard the smashing of a car. "GOD DAMN IT!" He shouted. He burst into the room and angrily cried, "If someone knocks on the freaking door ANSWER THE FREAKING DOOR!" He shouted at the teacher before grabbing melany's wrist and dragging her out the door. "Ninja?" She asked. "What's going on?" She asked.
"You're going to help me defeat a monster." He answered. "Really?" She shouted with glee. "Do I get to punch it, kick it, and throw weapons at it?" She asked before the ninja grabbed her by the waist and leapt off of the edge of the hole the monster made and only answered when they touched the ground. "No, you're going to give it a second chance." He answered, letting go of her. "Wait, what?" She asked. "That monster is your ex-boyfriend. You said that he rushed the relationship. You have to tell him the truth and that has to return his original form." Melany looked at him as if he were the monster. "Oh, just do it!" The ninja shouted. Melany raised her hands in defense and walked up to the monster. "Eric?" She started. The monster looked at her and whimpered. "Hi, it's me, Melany. I know that you're all...monster, but could you cut that out? Look, you're a great guy and all, and I appreciate everything you've done for me, the only problem is you're rushing our relationship. I mean, you mentioned kids the other day! Kids! So, I'll be willing to give you another chance if you just chill with the future and focus on the now."
The monster began to gesticulate randomly and then a bright green swirl surrounded its body. The monster began to shrink into a human again and his previously sliced arm reformed into a human arm. The tall figure took her hands and smiled. "Okay, that sounds great. But I'm just saying, Maya would be a great name for our daughter." He said. Melany's smile faded and she began to walk away. "This is why I broke up with you." She said. Eric slumped in defeat. "But, I agree, it would be adorable. Little baby Maya."
The ninja wretched and threw down a smoke bomb. "VANISH!" He shouted, disappearing in the smoke. He appeared in the boys bathroom and yanked off the mask, putting it in his shirt pocket. He left the bathroom and ran to Science class where he was told to go back to Mrs. Bates' class. He went back where he found out that he had failed. "What? How did this happen?" He screamed looking at the large F on his paper. The scribbles reappeared and Phil realized why he had failed. "I rushed the test." He said. "Jeez, Nomicon, predicting the future much?" He asked. "I'm going to have to call your parents." Mrs. Bates said. "Well, don't rush it." Phil responded and winced as soon as he said it.
