The League of App Games 4
The Dark Wizard was lounging in a chair when a henchman ran in.
"My Lord, we just sa... AAARGH!" he said, as the wizard turned him into a small pile of ash with a bolt of lightning.
"On second thought, I should have waited until he finished his sentence first", said the wizard, flicking some red powder onto the ash. The ash turned into a small frog.
"You were saying?" he asked.
"We just saw something on the M.E.R.M.A.I.D.*" said the frog. "It appears to be a small ship. However, it somehow seems to resist our Thaumissiles".
"What?" said the Wizard.
The magical missiles kept coming as the small ship the team had rented sped towards the castle. However, these missiles were no match for Tappi Bear's reflexes and Red Beard's axe-throwing skills, as every one of them was either sliced in two by the axe or knocked away by Tappi's nunchaku.
As they got close to the castle, two Zombarians pulled on ropes that raised a large Y-shaped piece of wood with elastic between the ends.

The Wizard actually laughed when he saw what it was.
"A huge slingshot?" he said. "They really are getting desperate!"
"Shall I deal with them?" asked a sinister silhoette in the corner of the room.
"No, that won't be necessary", said the Wizard.
The Zombarians pulled back the catapult with a green Boomerang Bird sitting in it. They fired it over the top of the castle, where it opened its beak to whirl round and crash through the unshielded base of the castle on the opposite side.
"We have our entry point", said Richard, as the Zombotron helmsman of the boat swerved into the gap in the base.
Once inside, they tied a rope to The Doodler and allowed him to jump up the inside of the castle's base. After he reached the first floor, the others climbed the rope and entered the castle.
"This is preposterous!" cried the wizard. "Get me the Ninja Quartet!"
"You called?" said a French-accented voice. Four figures seemed to have entered the room, though no-one was sure how and when.
"Ah, the Ninja Quartet", said the Wizard. "Deal with them!"
As Red Beard reached the top of the rope, four figures dropped down from above.
"I am the Ninjump Ninja!" said a black silhouette in a red headband.
"I am the Parachute Ninja!" said a yellow ball in a black ninja mask.
"I am ze Urban Ninja!" said a short man in a dark blue full-body outfit that left only his eyes and nose visible.
"And I am the Fruit Ninja!" said a fourth voice. No-one could see where the voice was coming from though.
"And together we are..."
"THE NINJA QUARTET!" they cried in unison.
"I'm not even going to comment on this one", said Richard.
