Chapter 3

The next day during study hall, Randy and Howard stood in a line, having a conversation.

"And that…Cunningham is why you never volunteer at a museum," said Howard. "Because if there's anything I learned from that wonk experience, it's that there's nothing more embarrassing than being fired for attempting a resurrection spell on a mummy to jumpstart the zombie apocalypse."

"Well, it's all for the better," said Randy. "I mean, as bruce as a zombie apocalypse would be, we're so not ready for one yet."

"Yeah, I guess you're right," said Howard.

The line suddenly moved up a step.

"Hey, do you remember why we're in this line?" asked Howard.

Suddenly, Theresa Fowler, who had been standing in front of Randy and Howard, turned around.

"Hey, Randy," said Theresa as she looked at him flirtatiously. "I didn't know you were going on the Mystery Shack trip."

"Oh yeah, the Gravity Falls trip," said Randy. "Yeah, Howard and I are definitely going. I assume this is the line to sign up."

Theresa nodded. "Yeah. But I heard that there are monsters in Gravity Falls. Do you believe those rumors?"

"Oh, not really," said Randy. "But if there are, I'm sure that I… I mean The Ninja can handle some small town Sasquatch."

"But what if he doesn't go on the trip?" asked Theresa.

"Oh, I have a feeling he'll go," said Randy.

Theresa then turned back around because it was her turn to sign up for the trip. Once she was finished, Howard and Randy stepped up to the sign up table that Dipper and Mabel were sitting at.

"T'sup guys," said Randy as he reached into his satchel for the money. "How's your great uncle?"

"The doctor ordered him to rest, so we have to run the sign up table today," said Dipper. "Oh, and by the way, I need to talk to you about the…you know what."

Suddenly, Randy's Nomicon glowed.

"Ooh, pretty light," said Mabel.

"Oh, that's just the Ninja Nomicon," said Randy. "It's a magical book that every Ninja gets and whenever it calls, it usually gives me advice or teaches me some shoob-tastic powers!"

Howard sighed. "Alas, the enemy calls you away again."

"Yeah, Howard doesn't really like the Nomicon, because I usually have to answer it right away, and I'm always with him when that happens," said Randy. "So I'll have to speak to you about whatever you wanted to talk about after I get out of the Nomicon."

Randy walked over to a nearby corner, opened the Nomicon, and was transported inside of it.

Once Randy landed, he saw a Ninja drawing walking towards a cottage. Once he was there, The Ninja drawing pulled off his mask and entered the cottage.

Suddenly, a warrior hopped out from behind a nearby bush and lit the cottage on fire.

The smoke that rose from the flames formed the following message.

WHEN THE ENEMY KNOWS YOUR SECRET

ALL WILL BE LOST

After reading the phrase aloud, Randy thought for a second. "Wait, are you saying that Dipper and Mabel are the enemy?"

Suddenly, a hole opened at Randy's feet and he was pulled out of the Nomicon.

Meanwhile, at a local Norrisville restaurant, McFist and Viceroy were walking to an empty table when they heard someone mutter, "I hate that stupid Ninja."

McFist gasped. "Did you hear that? Someone shares our hatred for The Ninja!"

"It came from over there." Viceroy pointed to a table where a small kid wearing a blue tuxedo sat, angrily glaring at a laptop.

"Ugh, he's just a kid," said McFist.

"Yeah, but sometimes kids can have the brightest ideas," said Viceroy. "And that may give us the leverage we need to finally defeat The Ninja."

McFist and Viceroy went over to the kid's table and seated themselves there.

"What do you guys want?" asked the kid.

"We overheard you saying you hated the Ninja," said McFist.

"And if you hate him that much, then maybe the three of us can help each other out," finished Viceroy.

The kid smiled evilly. "Okay, I'm not opposed to alliances. My name is Gideon Gleeful and I was visiting Norrisville High School yesterday to try to convince the students to take a summer trip to the Tent of Telepathy in Gravity Falls. But after I was humiliated, I lost consciousness, and the next thing I know, this purple haired kid came up to me and told me that The Ninja had broken my staff that I had brought with me."

"Tough break," said McFist. "But what was so special about that staff?"

"If The Ninja had known how much power the staff could hold, he wouldn't have broken it," said Gideon darkly. "But luckily, I wore my Tent of Telepathy pin that is secretly a tiny camera. Once the feed from the camera pin downloads to my laptop, I'll see exactly why The Ninja broke it."

As if on cue, the laptop dinged.

"Well, let's see what we got here." Gideon clicked on an icon and turned the computer in a way that McFist and Viceroy could see it too.

The screen showed the fight between The Ninja and Gideon the Gorilla from the camera pin's point of view.

"I'm bored," said McFist.

Then, the screen showed Gideon the Gorilla throw his staff at the Ninja and just barely miss.

"Aw, you almost had him!" said McFist.

On the screen, The Ninja walked away from the wall and the mask was pulled off, revealing his secret identity.

"Stop the video!" said McFist and Viceroy simultaneously.

Gideon did as he was told. "Why?"

"This video is incredible!" said Viceroy. "Do you realize what we can do with this?"

"I might," said Gideon.

"Of course I do," said McFist. He pulled at his shirt collar nervously. "But you…uh you should probably explain it so that we know that we're on the same plan…"

Viceroy sighed. "This video shows The Ninja's secret identity! Once we can identify who that kid is, we'll have the upper hand and we can finally defeat The Ninja. He won't even stand a chance."

"Of course I knew that," lied McFist.

"But what about my staff?" asked Gideon.

"Don't worry, I know someone who can fix it," said Viceroy. "Or should I say…enchant it."

Gideon smiled evilly. "I like the sound of that."
