Chapter Four is done! First action scene by the ninja. I hope it looks good.

Enjoy!


Class was boring for both Randy and Howard. Terri spent most of his working on watching some of his fellow students. He found himself running through his data, pulling up a bit on his creators. Seemed McFist had a brother named Terry. He had heard Viceroy say last night McFist had commented that he should have chosen another name. Viceroy seemed to like the name, and since coming here, Terri had heard some say it sounded like a superhero name or something from a comic. He had not read a comic, but he knew the just of what they were. Books where they focused more on the art. The stories could be simple or deep, depending on what you read. Assignments were easy, and soon he was in his next class with Howard and Randy. The two were a pair of as Viceroy would say, goofs. He watched as the two joked and messed around while the teacher had her back turned. Terri found himself becoming interested, his AI system adapting and evolving still. Soon, he could not help but smile, or even laugh a bit, as the two did something foolish.

Randy smiled, class having ended, "so, the three of us...lunch?"

"Totally" Howard elbowed Terri, "you have got to sit with us."

Terri smiled, leaning against the lockers in a casual manner, "sure, might be fun."

He had relaxed more, as he got comfortable with his surroundings and communicating.

"This is so bruce" Howard laughed, "who would have known we'd meet a guy who is totally the cheese today."

"Looks like Howard has taken a liking to you" Randy laughed.

"What" Howard looked, "he laughs at our jokes, he is a total wiz and yet not a total shoob or nerd. I think we can work with this."

Terri laughed, "this city's lingo is quite...interesting."

"Oh, you have not seen anything yet" Howard smirked.

Randy slid an arm around Terri's shoulder once more, as he waved a hand dramatically out in front of them, "stick with us, and you'll be sailing through this school and city with ease."

"With you two" Terri looked at him.

"Sure" Randy nodded, "what are friends for."

Terri paused, "friends...?"

Howard and Randy looked at him, then busted out in laughter at his clueless look.

"Ah, classic humor" Howard said, "you'd think he'd never had friends before."

Terri smiled, brushing it off as a joke, but inside his AI and emotional bank was changing. This was what it meant to have friends? This was good...it would allow him to blend in more. At the same time...he kind of...liked it. The three of them walked towards the lunch room, when Heidi slipped in their way.

"Time for an update!" the camera immediately on Terri, "so, how are you doing with your first day at Norrisville High?"

Randy and Howard rolled their eyes. Terri glanced at them, to back at the camera.

"It's been good so far, met some great people" he smiled.

"Awe, hear that guys, we're making a good impression so far!" Heidi smiled, "so then, it's lunch time, any idea on who you will be joining?"

"Actually" Howard and Randy moved over, "he'll be with us."

Heidi put a hand on her hip, "still with these two?"

Terri nodded, "they have been nice, and so have you..."

He took her hand, giving a kiss to the back of it in a way that his data told him was good.

A blush spread over Heidi's cheeks, "oh my...seems we have a gentleman at our school."

Howard rolled his eyes, nudging Heidi away, "alright, don't ruin him. Lets go."

He proceeded into the lunchroom, followed by Randy and Terri. as they passed, people said hi and welcomed Terri to the school. Randy and Howard began pointing out who belonged to what social group. After slipping through the line, they moved to a table to sit. Terri looked at his food and paused. As an android, he did not have to consume food at all. Viceroy had fitted him with an artificial stomach, to give the illusion of such however. It would be a bit odd if he never ate. The food would sit there to be removed later. He was not looking forward to figuring out how that worked. He paused, looking forward to? He was actually emotionally not looking forward to it. His emotions were indeed evolving, along with his brain. He then remembered, Viceroy had told him of the attack at lunch. He sighed, and Randy looked up at him.

"You ok?" he asked.

Terri looked up at him, Howard busy stuffing his face as usual.

"Yeah...sorry" he nodded.

"Hey! New kid!" Bash came marching over to the table.

"Oh no" Randy watched.

Bash stopped before Terri, looking him over, "you hanging with these two losers...must be one yourself to?"

Terri raised an eyebrow, was he asking that? Bash crossed his arms, his two lackies by his side.

"I am nothing of the sort, though I am sure you are the one who would be smart enough to figure that out" he said.

Howard snickered, Bash sending him a glare. He gripped the front of Terri's shirt, pulling him up out of his seat a bit.

"You mocking me?" he glared.

"No, I was complimenting you actually" Terri smiled, "the esteemed step son of the great idol of the city is indeed an idol himself."

Bash blinked, slowly letting him go, "really? Yea...I knew that."

He smiled, brushing his hair back. Randy and Howard were both trying not to laugh. They could see the subtle sarcasm in Terri's words, but Bash was eating it up. He slapped Terri on the back of the shoulder.

"You're alright bud" he said, "don't screw it up."

With that he walked away with his friends. As soon as he was out of earshot, both Howard and Randy busted into laughter.

"Dude! You totally just talked circles around him" Howard laughed.

"Flattery is the best way to avoid troubles with people of his...special quallities" Terri said, Viceroy had also told him that, finding such things out when dealing with McFist.

Randy wiped a tear out of his eye, "ah, man, you are to good."

Terri smiled, relaxing a bit when the wall near them exploded. Several chainsaw werewolves stood in the gaping hole. Students screamed, and began running out of the cafeteria.

Randy stood, "Howard, get Terri out of here, I'll go ger help."

Of course, Randy was going to go ninja on these dogs. He turned, running out to find a place to change. Howard grabbed Terri's arm, pulling him out of the room. Terri looked back, before he paused hearing a voice.

"Smoke bomb!" in a flash of smoke Randy as the ninja appeared.

Terri paused, and Howard looked at him.

"Come on, we got to get out" he said.

"That is the ninja?" Terri said.

Howard nodded, "yup, the Norrisville Ninja...you havn't seen him in action before have you?"

"No...do you mind?" he looked at Howard.

Howard saw no trouble in it, pulling him into a closet nearby.

"As long as we stay out of the way, we should be safe" he said.

Terri nodded, but he was already watching the scene.

"You flea bags have really got to stop coming around" Randy said, "how many times have I kicked your tails now?"

The wolves moved forward, one raising its chainsaw arm to bring down on him. He flipped backwards in time to miss it. The table was cut in half, and Randy landed safely away.

"Hungry?" Randy picked up some trays that were nearby, tossing them in the faces of the wolves.

As the wolves dug at the food, he slipped out his sword. He moved forward, aiming for the closest one to him.

"Ninja slice!" he brought the sword through the center of the wolf and it split in half, "awe ya, who's next?"

A wolf by him jumped at him, he lifted the sword and blocked the chainsaw from harming him. He jumped, turning his body to deliver a kick to the wolf. It was sent back across the cafeteria into a third not to far away. He smiled below the mask, before preparing another attack.

"Ninja throwing stars" in rapid succession, he through a series of silver stars at another wolf within the room.

It sparked, before it fell over and exploded.

"Good robots are so hard to come by these days" Randy mocked, as the two he had thrown together growled at him.

The two charged ar once, him moving towards them at the same time. At the last moment, he dropped to his knees and slid. His blade out, he sliced through their legs, which made them fall to the floor. He stood, smiling. Placing the point of his sword on the floor, he leaned on the hilt.

"Whoops, sword limbo is never a good idea" he watched them attempt to get up.

It was simple to see he had won, gotten the best of the Chainsaw Werewolves. Terri watched, his moves and his mannerisms. He made a note of it all, recording it all still as he had been all day. So this was the ninja in action. His eyes glowed a bit, he could take him easily.

"That was so bruce!" Howard said, snapping Terri out of it.

His eyes quickly reverted to normal, and he looked down at the smaller male. He pushed open the door, as students appeared cheering for the ninja, who bowed.

"Thank you. Thank you, a-smoke bomb!" in a flash of smoke, Randy as the ninja vanished.

Moments later, Randy as himself came sliding into the room, an arm around both Terri and Howard.

"There you guys are" he covered for himself, since Terri did not know he was the ninja, "I was looking for you."

"We hid in the closet" Howard smirked.

"Mmhmm, possibly next time find some place...oh I don't know...manlier?" Randy teased.

"Hey, a closet can be so manly" Howard countered.

The three of them were laughing. Principal Slimovitz came in with a megaphone.

"Due to the monster attack, we are allowing classes to be cut short today as we get repairs done and make sure the campus is safe for all our students."

"Yush!" Randy said, fist pumping the air.

Howard nodded, "now we can totally show Terri around town!"

Randy paused, "uh...we do have an assignment due remember?"

Howard sighed, "oh come on..not this again..."

Randy rolled his eyes, "we don't even know if it is alright with his parents."

Howard nodded, sighing himself.

Randy turned to Terri, "lets exchange numbers. We'll study a bit, then text you later if you want to hang out. If your parents say yes, we can show you around town for a bit."

"This is going to be so cheesy bruce" Howard was excited, ignoring the work part.

Terri nodded, and they traded numbers with him. Howard and Randy waved, leaving to go get their things and get studying so they could hang out. Terri glanced at the scene that had just taken place frowning. He turned away walking down the hall. Dialing Viceroy, he informed him the day had been cut short.
