Alright first chapter here we go. Sorta action heavy, okay not sorta, is actually really action heavy.


"And remember, the future is yours!"

With that, Randy and Howard exited the gym, where a mandatory seminar for all freshmen was being held.

Students groaned and loud exhales of relief filled the gym and everyone began to leave.

"Man Cunningham, The future really is mine! I can JUST feel the inspiration running through me." Howard said. "Or maybe that's just gas? No nope, definitely inspiration."

"Howard, how can you be inspired?" Randy replied. "You slept through the whole seminar."

"Oh yeah…..What was that seminar about again?" Howard holds his chin in fake thought.

"Um…" Randy started looking around until he spotted a poster for the seminar they just attended. "Here we go, it says 'Laying the groundwork for your future" or "How to not make all the wrong choices". "

"Ohhhhhh, consider me uninspired then, who cares about that junk." Howard said, mocking the seminars message, they were freshmen, they didn't have to worry about this stuff yet.

"Right yeah, haha what kind of shoob worries about that? hehe." Randy said sweating, he would never admit it but he was actually worried about his own future. Just then the Nomicon started vibrating in his backpack filling the air around it with a familiar red glow and a familiar groan from Howard.

"Just one second Howard, see ya." He said as he dashed off, leaving Howard to do an eye roll and continue walking to the cafeteria.

Randy ran into an open locker and closed the door. While cramped he opened the ancient book of ninja wisdom and with an 'oof' he was shloomped in. As he fell through the patterns of Japanese textures and art he landed on a dirt road where he saw a doodle ninja standing at a fork in the road. The ninja contemplated the two roads in front of him he started shaking his head in disappointment at both roads, clearly not happy with where either led. The Nomicon's words of wisdom materialized above the ninja, of which randy read out loud.

"The limited paths presented ahead is not the paths a ninja should consider."

Randy said aloud. He thought on it, a look of confusion melting into realization as he believed that he figured the riddle out.

"So you're saying that I shouldn't consider or even think about my future since my 'paths' ahead are still limited because I'm still a freshman!" he said excitedly. "Thanks Nomicon, always telling me what I need to hear when I need to hear it."

The Nomicon said nothing and just shot him out of the pages of the ancient book. Randy woke with yelp as the owner of the locker he was currently in just stared at him. Imagine finding someone asleep with his eyes open in your locker? Randy stood up and dusted himself off and stared awkwardly at the owner of the locker, trying to think of an excuse.

"I was um.. looking-uh for my contact lenses." Randy said chuckling nervously, "I found it though, couldn't read my Japanese book without it, uh yeah I'll go with that."

The other student was about to protest when the school intercom came alive and principal Slimovitz voice began talking.

"Mr. Randy Cunningham, would you please report to the principal's office."

"Welp, it was great talking to you." Randy said patting the other student on the shoulder. "But gotta go."

Randy marched to the principal's office, wondering why he was being called. As he neared the principal's office, Miss Wickwhacker and Senora Jorge were there trying to look through the crack in the door, talking like excited school girls. They spotted Randy and moved aside to let him enter.

"Mr. Cunningham, remember to tell him that you were my favorite student." Senora Jorge said. Leaving Randy confused as that clearly wasn't the case during her lessons.

"Actually I think you need to schedule a private meeting for me with him, to discuss your grades." Miss Wickwhacker said above Senora Jorge. Which also confused Randy because he had no classes with her.

Randy entered the office and saw principal Slimovitz batting his eyes at another person seated whose back was to Randy.

"That's a very nice tie—Ah Randy, there you are" Principal Slimovitz said noting Randy's arrival. "Your Father is here to see you."

Randy's stared in confusion at what he just heard, his father? That's not possible! The man stood and faced Randy, finally giving Randy a view of this impostors face. Randy stumbled back at what he saw, this man looked a lot like Randy, a few differences being his face being longer, Randy's roundness being replaced with a squarer shape, and his right eyebrow also had a small scar on it. He wore a long black trench coat that ended mid shin, he wore a white polo shirt underneath with a black tie around his neck, and his pants were simple black jeans. He looked more like an aged up clone of Randy rather that his father.

"Ah yes, my son, there you are." Randy's fake father said. "We have some important family business to attend to, so I'm afraid I'll be pulling him out of school for the day"

"Of course," Principal Slimovitz said. "And don't be afraid to call me for any questions about your son or anything else."

Randy was pulled by this strange man out of the room still too confused to say anything. The man simply smiled at the teachers who tried to talk to him. He walked away looking rather disturbed from all the flirting those teachers attempted on him.

"That felt so wrong," The man said, as they made their way through the hallway.

"That felt wrong?" Randy said finally realizing that he couldn't just let himself be taken by this weirdo, stranger danger and all that. "Who are you? And why are you pretending to be my father?"

The man said nothing and just continued pulling and shoving Randy towards the exit. Randy was getting a really bad feeling from this guy, he started moving his hand instinctively to his back pocket to get the mask.

"If you pull that mask out of your back pocket you'll regret it." The man said ominously.

"Wha-what?!" Randy said in panic. How did this guys know about the mask? He must be talking about something else. "What mask may you be referring to?"

"The ninja mask, Ninja."

Randy swallowed hard, suddenly he realized just how much of a threat this guys was. He knew who Randy was! Randy began struggling to get free of the man's vice like grip, but to no avail he was way stronger than he looked.

"Stop struggling." The man sneered. "You're a lot rowdier than I remember, maybe I should take the mask just in case."

"No!" Randy said as the man grabbed the mask from Randy's pocket. Randy grabbed the other end and the two began trying to pull the mask away from the other, well to say they were both trying was incorrect, more like Randy was pulling with all his might while the man simple held on to the mask unmoving.

"I'm losing my patience, kid." The man said, His eyes began glowing blood red making Randy's own eyes expand in fear. "Now let me—"

The man was cut off as his eyes stopped glowing, he let go of the mask and jumped backwards with superhuman speed just dodging a sharp metal object that nearly hit him square in the temple.

Randy looked at the object that was meant for the man who was trying to take him. Randy stared at the object in confusion as he seemed to be doing a lot lately. The object was unmistakable as Randy has used it countless times, it was a ninja ring. But that wasn't possible, only the ninja can use the ninja rings.

The man looked to where the ninja ring was thrown from and Randy followed his line of sight to see a figure clad in black standing on top of the school shed with the sun behind him.

"What the juice?" Randy exclaimed as the figure jumped into the air; did a twist and landed in front of Randy.

There stood the Ninja. "'But I'm the ninja?!' Randy thought, clearly this ninja had a few differences from Randy's own suit but overall it resembled the ninja too much for it to be an impostor.

"Didn't your mom ever teach you not to steal from teenagers?" The Ninja said.

"Didn't your mother ever teach you not to pick fights you knew you couldn't handle!" The man said enraged.

"Yup, good thing I never listen though." The Ninja said as he dashed towards his opponent.

The Ninja threw a flurry of ninja rings as he ran towards the man, the man dodged them easily and caught the last one throwing it back with enough force to let it pierce a bus and come out the other side, luckily the ninja jumped and spun in the air to dodge and used the momentum of the spin to deliver a heel kick aimed at the man's head. The man blocked it but before he could counter the Ninja pulled back his foot and threw a punch which the man also blocked. The fight went on like that for a few seconds, the Ninja on the offensive throwing a ruthless barrage of punches and kicks which the man dodged and blocked effortlessly.

"Let's see you block this!" The ninja said, rearing his hand back and allowing blue energy and wind to gather around it. "NINJA AIR FIST!"

By using the airfist at such a close distance the impact created a mini explosion of energy. Once the smoke cleared the Ninja's face fell as he saw the man simply caught his fist unharmed by the attack.

"My turn." The man said, an evil grin creeping onto his face. He threw the Ninja and flew through the air and crashed into a certain principal's car.

"That's at least 25 times now," Randy winced at the damaged car. Now, he started to feel bad for the principle. He almost forgot the intense fight in front of him.

"So, you followed me to the past, ha?" The man said walking towards the Ninja. "Now what? Did you think you were just gonna beat me just like that?"

"That was kind of the plan," The ninja said standing with a grunt and shaky legs, he wasn't gonna admit it to this psycho but he was really scared right now. "Besides, I don't know what you plan to do here in the past, but I know I'm gonna put a stop to it."

"Wait, wait wait! you guys are from the future?" Randy said finally getting over the shock of the fight he just witnessed, the very one sided fight might he add. "What the juice? That means you're the future Ninja but you came to stop this bad guy who also came from the future?" Randy pointed at the older man in shock.

"Yeah, you figure that out all on your own Sherlock?" The future Ninja shot sarcastically. "Anyway, if I were you I'd get out of here right now kid—wait.." The Ninja went still and blinked at Randy.

"What?" Randy asked.

The future ninja finally noticed the kid he just saved, no doubt about it, this kid was the very man he came here to stop.

"You can't be…but then what does he need you for?" The future ninja said in confusion, a small gasp of air was heard from his mouth.

"I don't know?" Randy replied extremely confused now. "And what do you mean I can't be? I can't be what? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Ugh, how dense was I as a kid?!" The man said interjecting, obviously annoyed. "Hello?! The eyes, the hair, I am you from the future!"

The realization hit randy like a sledgehammer to the gut. Him? That was honkin him?! He looked at the future ninja's own face confirming Randy's worries. He knew he was worrying about his future and making the wrong choices but this was ridiculous, he turned into some super powered villain when he grew up?!

The future Ninja took advantage of Evil Randy's distraction and took out two black balls from his sash/belt.

"Ninja boom balls!" He yelled, hurling them at Evil Randy.

Evil Randy noticed too late, he was able to swat one away but the other one detonated in his face momentarily blinding him. The other one landed too close to present Randy and blew up sending him a few feet away from where he was standing.

Randy just lied there on the pavement, not minding the fight that continued between his apparent future self and the future ninja, he was still in too much shock to do anything. He was in so much shock he didn't notice the blood dripping out of his mouth or the wounds he gained from the boom ball's explosion.

"How?"

The future Ninja was still also trying to wrap his head around the fact that the kid lying on the pavement was the same man who would one day kill Mr. Weinerman and commit more atrocities. But he couldn't get distracted now, he had to use older Randy's temporary blindness to his advantage.

"Ninja Electro balls!" He yelled as he threw the balls at Evil Randy's feet, instantly shocking him.

Evil Randy howled in pain and glared at the ninja. Evil Randy then proceeded to scan the area and spotted a school bus full of kids moving down the pavement, and a nasty smile came unto his face. He dashed to the bus at amazing speeds, he lifted it.

"Sorry Ninja! looks like you have a bus to catch." Evil Randy said, hurling the bus at the ninja.

At that moment in the cafeteria, Howard Weinerman felt the sudden urge to yell out 'LAME!'

The future Ninja's eyes went wide at the incoming bus. He couldn't just blow it up, there were kids in there! He began charging his fists with energy.

"Ninja air fists!" he yelled, however the air fists didn't release from his hand and stayed attached. He used the air fist energy to catch the bus, he tried to keep his balance but a spike of black energy shot by Evil Randy stabbed his feet pinning him to the ground, he yelped in pain but did not let go of the bus, in fear of dropping it.

"Looks like this ride is a bus-t! I should have just asked my mother to pick me up from school zing!" Bucky said inside the bus.

"Ugh, shut up!" the future ninja said.

"Well well well, what do we have here?" Evil Randy smugness was apparent on his face as he walked to where future ninja was trapped. "Normally, I'd kill you right now, but you have been a real pain in my side, so I'm gonna enjoy beating you, but just remember if you drop the bus the kids inside might get hurt."

"Do your worst, you shoob." The future ninja snarled.

Randy finally snapped out of his hazy thoughts and watched in horror as his evil self sauntered over intending to beat the future ninja to death. Randy didn't get it, not at all, future self? Future ninjas? He didn't understand any of this at all. But he couldn't let that stop him, He couldn't let that distract him from his job. He slammed his fists into the ground and pushed himself up, blood trickling from his lower lip, he had a job to do and that job was protecting the innocent from anyone who would do them harm, that included himself. It was not the time to be stand in the background and let this crazy man do what he pleased.

He rushed at his evil future self who still had his attention on the future ninja, pulling the mask over his face and ignoring the pain. The mask had only just finished wrapping around his arm but he used that arm to land a solid blow on Evil Randy's face sending him skidding down the floor. The future Ninja stared in shock at what just happened, Evil Randy held his face in more confusion than pain, and Randy stood in a battle stance fully suited and finally entering the fray.

"I don't care how I got to be as messed up as you, I'm not even sure I believe it, but I don't care about any of that right now!" Randy said. "What I do care about is you trying to hurt people and I'm not gonna let that happen!"

The future Ninja looked down at his feet, the blow from Randy must have distracted Evil Randy enough for him to lose control of the energy spikes. Future Ninja placed the bus down and the kids inside ran out in fear, luckily none of them had seen Randy suit up.

"Okay kid, I'll go high you go low," Randy said to future ninja. "We'll take on this shoob together"

The future ninja was still on the fence about trusting this guy, well he did kill Howard, he will at least. The younger ninja weighed his options, but right now they had a better chance at beating Evil Randy together, so he reluctantly nodded.

Randy jumped in the air and threw a barrage of ninja rings, while future Ninja came in low and threw another air fist. Evil Randy was too busy dodging the ninja rings to notice the air fist hitting him square in the chest, pushing him back. As both boys reached Evil Randy they went into an all-out fist fight, Evil Randy couldn't keep up with both of them at the same time, he couldn't block all of their attacks and was being pelted in punches and kicks.

"Stop, stop! STOP!" he yelled, an explosion of fire erupting from his body pushing both boys away. "You wanna go?! Let's go!"

Black wrapping similar to the ones the ninja mask used came out of Evil Randy's arm and formed a giant fist in the air that mimicked Evil Randy's own fist. He threw down the giant fist at the boys who braced for impact, but looked on in confusion when the fist dissolved into harmless feathers as it hit them.

"Am I always this disappointing in the future?" Randy said.

Evil Randy staggered a bit and knelt down, he looked extremely tired future ninja noted. Then future ninja realized why Evil Randy's attack failed.

"Mr. Weinerman's Device…" Future ninja muttered.

"What?" Randy asked. "What about Howard? and why did you just call him 'Mr'?"

"Mr. Weinerman used a machine meant to drain your energy in the future," Future ninja explained. "We thought it malfunctioned, it must have worked! Well.. partly, anyway."

Evil Randy knew he didn't have much left in the tank, he'd need to rest to recharge. "Dammit" he muttered. This was not part of the plan.

"I'll have to finish this some other time'. He looked around for something to distract these nuisances while he left to fight another day, he spotted the empty bus he used earlier, that'll do.

The clothes he was wearing now dissolved into black wrappings and formed his usual shirtless ninja get up, but this time huge black wings sprouted from his back. He flew to the bus and set it on fire with his remaining energy then once again he lifted it and chucked, but this time he was aiming for the school full of students.

"It's been fun playing with you kids, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to fly." He said as he began his flight away from the school. Future Ninja wasn't about to let this happen, he was about to make a run to catch Evil Randy, no way was he letting him go now, he was so close. But he stopped when Randy grabbed a hold of future ninja's scarf pulling him back.

"What the juice are you doing?" Future Ninja snapped. "Why are you trying to stop me?! I should have known you were working with him!"

"Calm down,kid!" Randy said pulling future ninja and rushing towards the airborne bus. "We'll get him later, right now we have to stop the bus!"

Future Ninja was startled and ashamed of himself by having to be reminded of that.

Randy and future Ninja charged their air fist and used them the same way future ninja had earlier, they held onto the bus trying to stop it but it was forcing them back, their heels being pushed through the ground. Future Ninja let go with one hand and charged it with orange energy this time, Randy stared at future ninja's fist.

"Ninja meteor hammer!" He yelled as he punched the bus and blasted a hole through it with the pure force of the punch. It finally stopped.

Both ninjas panted, out of breath.

"Okay, you HAVE got to show me how to do that move."

-[Line Break]-

"What the juice, Cunningham? You become evil? And you kill me?!" Howard exclaimed, him and Randy having been informed of the situation by future ninja. "See this is why you don't leave me to eat lunch alone! You turn evil and kill me!"

"To be fair," Future ninja interjects; "He probably knew that if he succeeds in changing the past future you probably won't be dead...maybe."

"Oh that makes me feel so much better," Howard said sarcastically.

"Look future ninj, we need to stop him, I mean me—whatever," Randy said frustrated and clearly disturbed by his future self's actions. "What's the plan? How do we stop him?"

"I…don't actually know." Future ninja replied, "I was actually gonna wing it."

"Wow great plan, are all ninjas like this in the future?" Howard said mockingly. "You know what, Cunningham would have done the same thing"

"Hey!" Randy said. "Wait…no you're probably right."

"Looks like it's up to me Howard Weinerman, certified mastermind once again to save the day and come up with a plan!" Howard exclaimed then proceeded to think harder than he has ever thought before.

They waited in silence for a few minutes, with Howard's face scrunched up with concentration and sweat coming down his face the two ninjas couldn't help but wonder if he actually was coming up with a plan. They leaned in closer waiting for Howard's plan to finish forming, as they leaned in extra close they were met with a 'toot' sound and disgusting smell that came from Howard.

"Haaa! that was a good one" Howard said relieved.

"What the juice, Howard?" Randy said gagging.

"Not cool." Future Ninja said. "I thought you said you'd come up with a plan?"

"Hey! That's not my fault! I don't know enough about the bad guy to make a plan." Howard countered. "Like wasn't there that saying, knowing your enemy was half the burrito?"

"Battle." Randy corrected. "But I think you have a point there."

"Thank you." Howard said smugly.

"We don't know enough about future me," Randy said looking at future ninja. "Why…why did I turn evil?"

"I don't know, either." The younger boy shook his head.. "Mr. Weinerman never liked talking about it, it's the same with the Nomicon, so again we know nothing."

Just then future Ninja's Nomicon started buzzing and glowing. Randy and Future ninja made eye contact both thinking the same thing.

"Looks like that's about to change." Randy said.

First chapter outta the way, next chapter's gonna be exposition, we're finally gonna see why rando turns evil and why he is such a jerk now, well more of a jerk than usual.


and again thanks for reading :)
