Pirate Penguin and Ninja Chicken were leaving the nearby Pizza Parlor after a good lunch.

"I just noticed, you've eaten twice now, and I thought you were playing this so you could eat," said Pirate Penguin.

"You just noticed that?" asked Ninja Chicken.

"Why are you still playing?" asked Pirate Penguin.

"After Round 1, I just wanted to prove my ninja awesomeness by beating you again. After Round 2, I couldn't believe you eat me so I'm going to beat you this time," said Ninja Chicken.

"Okay. So what do you want to do for Round 3?" asked Pirate Penguin.

"All we've done is childish games so far, so let's kick it up a notch," said Ninja Chicken.

"There are only two notches to go up after that. Are you sure you want to use it now?" asked Pirate Penguin.

"Yup."

"Okay, what do you have in mind?"

"Sword fight."

"You don't have a sword, and the last time we tried to get you one from Steve's Sword Store, we broke both of the ninja-style ones."

"True, but I also have these spiky fellas."

Ninja Chicken held up a shuriken.

"That's not a sword, that's a pizza cutter. Did you steal it from the parlor? Don't you know that's what pirates do, and not ninjas?"

"This isn't a pizza cutter, it's a slicey ninja star. Also known as a shuriken, which means 'sword hidden in the hand.'"


Author's Note: It's true! Look it up.


Well, Pizza Cutter or not, my sword as the advantage of giganticness!" said Pirate Penguin as he picked up his sword.

"Well MY sword can be thrown," said Ninja Chicken as he threw the shuriken at PP's belt.

After that, his belt came off.

"I'm naked!" screamed Pirate Penguin.

"Relax, you still have your hat," said Ninja Chicken.

"Oh, good," said Pirate Penguin.

"Well, then let's do a sword fight," said Ninja Chicken.

"Right," said Pirate Penguin.

"How about we have it at your place? There's a lot of stuff that we can break at my home," said Ninja Chicken.

"How about we have it in a volcano? Or on an Airplane?" asked Pirate Penguin.

"How about in a wrestling arena? First one to fall off loses," said Ninja Chicken.

"I'd Prefer-"

Ninja Chicken held his shuriken against PP's neck.

"You call that threatening?" asked Pirate Penguin.

Then NC held a potato chip bag he stole from PP's belt over a trash can and held his shuriken against the bottom half of it.

"Okay, okay! We'll have it in a wrestling arena," said Pirate Penguin.


Later, PP and NC went over to the local wrestling arena to find it being used for a wrestling match.

"Who hosts a wrestling match in a wrestling arena?" asked Pirate Penguin.

"I'll pretend I didn't hear that. But anyway, wanna try the playground then? It will be much more challenging than the huge area the wrestling arena has," said Ninja Chicken.

"Not as exciting as a swordfight in a volcano, but it could still prove I'm a better swordfighter than someone without an actual sword," said Pirate Penguin.

"Okay, here we are," said Ninja Chicken as he pointed at the playground with kids on it.

"SCRAM!" said Pirate Penguin.

All the kids looked at PP and ran off.

"Why did you make them all run away?" asked Ninja Chicken.

"Don't you know how much it would cramp my style if someone actually saw us swordfighting in a playground?" asked Pirate Penguin.

"Fair enough," said Ninja Chicken as he got on one end of a playsystem in the playground.

"Same rules as before, first one to touch the mulch loses," said Ninja Chicken as he pulled out two shrunken. "Now let this be our final battle!"

"Wait, you were serious about that? I thought you were kidding, no way this can be our final battle, I wanna do a Round 4!" said Pirate Penguin.

"Then let this be our non-final battle!" said Ninja Chicken.

Pirate Penguin grabbed his sword from his belt, which made it fall down again.

After putting it back on and tightening it, Pirate Penguin and Ninja Chicken went on into mortal combat as they ran toward each other with their weapons in hand.

Ninja Chicken had tried to use his sword to push PP off the playsystem several times, but only to have been blocked by his sword.

Then NC tried something else. He jumped backwards, at the edge of the playsystem and threw one of his shrunken at Pirate Penguin.

He ducked, and it bounced around the walls of the other end of the playsystem until it came back to Ninja Chicken and pushed him down a slide.

"Curse my lightning quick throwing!" said Ninja Chicken as he fell down the slide.

Luckily, NC grabbed the edges of the slide before he touched the ground.

Pirate Penguin came down the slide with his sword sticking out at Ninja Chicken.


But with lightning quick reflexes, Ninja Chicken hopped out of the way and onto the nearby teeter-totter.

But Pirate Penguin used his sword as a pole vault pole and landed on the teeter-totter.

After getting his balance back, PP pointed his sword at NC.

"NC, you've been a bad matey. And like all bad mateys, you must walk the plank!" said Pirate Penguin.

"Not if the plank kicks you off first!" said Ninja Chicken as he hopped over Pirate Penguin and landed on the higher side of the teeter-totter, launching Pirate Penguin through the air.


But he used his hook to grab onto the monkey bars he flew by.

"Hmmm, Pirate Penguin's gotten better at swordfighting. Perhaps those swordfighting books at the library actually taught him something besides he'd rather watch TV," thought Ninja Chicken.

Ninja Chicken follow Pirate Penguin and jumped on the monkey bars, where he used his shuriken to cut at PP while he did the same with his sword.

Then Pirate Penguin saw Ninja Chicken's hand hanging from the monkey bars and tried slashing his sword at it.

"NC, let me show you the best advantage of having a hook for a hand," said Pirate Penguin as Ninja Chicken tried to use his shuriken on Pirate Penguin's hook hand.

"It doesn't let go of things, no matter how hard you try to hurt it," said Pirate Penguin, as he was about to hit NC's last finger that was on the bar.

Then Ninja Chicken hit PP's sword with a shuriken, causing it to fly out of PP's hands for a moment before he could grab it.

Before he grabbed it, NC snuck through the space between his monkey bar and the next.

"That also means your hook hand won't let go of my shuriken as I try to pick you up by it," said Ninja Chicken.

He picked up PP's hook hand with the hole in his shuriken, and threw him off of the monkey bars with it. "And man, you really need to lose weight."


Pirate Penguin landed on the swingset.

Ninja Chicken followed him and he jumped on the swing next to him.

As they swung back and forth, their weapons clanged against each other, with neither one of them winning.

"So you decided to kick me off the monkey bars, eh? Well 2 can play at that game," said Pirate Penguin as he cut the chains on NC's swing, sending NC's swing sailing through the air due to the force he generated swinging.

But he landed o the merry-go-round, luckily.

"Two indeed," said Ninja Chicken as he threw two more shuriken, one for each of PP's chains.

After PP landed on the merry-go-round, he and NC stood on opposite sides of it.

"I sense a pattern here," said Ninja Chicken.

"No more changes in battle area," said Pirate Penguin. "This ends now."

"I couldn't agree more," said Ninja Chicken as he took his shuriken and ran over to PP, but Pirate Penguin had spun the merry-go-round so Ninja Chicken nearly walked off the edge of it.

The merry-go-round was spinning so fast, Ninja Chicken needed to hold onto the railings to fight PP.

But every time NC tried to walk over to him, he just hit NC with his sword so he fell back.

Then Ninja Chicken remembered how before the first round, he cut Pirate Penguin's sword in half while he tried to chop him.

"What a dummy I am for not thinking of this earlier. PP's idiocy must be rubbing off on me," thought Ninja Chicken.

Then NC ran up to Pirate Penguin and when he tried to hit NC with his sword, he cut the top half off, then bounced off of PP's fat belly to the middle of the merry-go-round where he used his shuriken to detach the base of the merry-go-round to the rest of it, so it stopped spinning.

Once that happened, Ninja Chicken threw a shuriken at Pirate Penguin's belly and he fell off of the merry-go-round and touched the ground.

"Game over! I win!" said Ninja Chicken as he helped Pirate Penguin up.

"Aw, %#$," said Pirate Penguin as he glued his sword together with gloo brand glue.

"I gotta say, you have gotten better with swords, my frenemy," said Ninja Chicken.

"I gotta say, I know that," said Pirate Penguin.

"Wanna go over to the arcade before we decide Round 4?" asked Ninja Chicken.

"Yeah dude," said Pirate Penguin.
