-Present-

The ninja turned to see two teenage boys standing in a corner of the lobby. One had pitch black raven hair and sky blue eyes, and the shorter one had black hair with dark green highlights.

"Why…uh, I mean, who are you guys? Aren't students supposed to be out of school and have vocation?"

"No use pretending Randy, we know you still have your memories." One of the boy replied.

"Uh…, what? Who's Randy? I don't know what you are talking about." The ninja just looked away to prevent eye contact, without noticing one of the boy disappeared.

Suddenly an invisible hand snatched the ninja's mask, and yanked it from his face. A mess of purple-ish hair fell out of it and the face of Randy Cunningham revealed.

"Danny you shoob…" The purple-haired teen muttered.

"We had been waiting for you the whole night! We don't have patience to play with your stupid identity game!" Jake yelled angrily, with dark circles clearly seen around his eyes.

Randy frowned and felt like defeated. "How do you guys know?"

"One, we are not idiots. You are really a bad liar, don't you know that?" Jake replied.

"Two, we saw you putting back the Nomicon SO NATURALLY, as if you own it. If you were really mind-wiped, you won't consider it as yours." Danny replied and gave back the ninja mask to Randy.

"Aw man…" Randy sighed. He realized that he could not hide anything from his biffers, especially these two.

"We know you have a reason to hide the fact, so we came here to wait for your answer." Danny put a hand on Randy's shoulder. "So do you mind telling us?"

"Alright then…" Randy cleared his throat. "I come here for a mission. And my mission is to integrate with the Tengu."

"What?" The other two teens just dropped their jaws.

Randy nodded. "The Nomicon said that since I knew how to use the power of Tengu to fight the Sorcerer in the 13th Century, it thought my power MAY BE great enough to overcome the Tengu's."

"But why do you have to do so?" Jake questioned.

"Because as long as the Tengu is trapped in the school, there is still a threat to the safety of the whole town, so a ninja must stand up to integrate and overcome the power of Tengu, so that the threat can be solved forever. And since I am considered as the strongest ninja ever, I am responsible for this." Randy replied.

"What will happen if you cannot overcome the power?"

"I don't know. Maybe… I will be possessed just like Howard." Randy just gave out a nervous chuckle.

"What?! You don't really have to do this, right?"

"No, I have to do this. I AM THE NINJA." Randy said with determination.

"Just give it up, Jake. As Randy is so determined, we should not bother him. Instead…" Danny took out a camera from his pocket. "We are here to witness your final mission. And we will take photos, so that we can remind you how awesome you were."

"Thanks pals." Randy was so thankful that he could have such great buddies, then he just recognized that how silly and shameful he was to try to hide something from them.

"Okay, let's do this." Randy said, walking towards the Carp's Eye of the mosaic of a fish on the floor. He put on the ninja mask and brought out a sai to break the stone.
