Wooh, this one i kinda had a block to get over, hehe


"Wha-where am I" Randy said cracking an eye open, the last thing he remembered was being dragged off by a big red thing. He attempted to move but he felt something hindering his movements, he looked down and saw that he was tied to a chair. He began thrashing to try and get free, to no avail.

"Want to leave already?" A voice said in the darkness ahead of Randy. "But you just got here"

The speaker stepped out of the shadows and stood in front of Randy. "Evil Randy" Randy seethed.

"Evil Randy? Seriously?" Evil Randy said wryly.

"I call em like I see em" Randy replied. "And right now I see a honking villain"

"Villain? I think that's a matter of perspective"

"Whatever you shoob" Randy said doing an eye-roll. "Let me out of this chair, so I can give you a butt whooping"

"Let yourself out of the chair" Evil Randy said, causing Randy to raise an eyebrow. "Try it, imagine yourself free from your chair"

Randy looked pensively at him for a second then closed his eyes and tried it. When he opened his eyes he looked down to see himself standing and the chair and restraints nowhere in sight, he did a double take just to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.

"Something like a dream right?" Evil Randy said. "Well close to one at least, we're sharing a mindscape right now kid, right now our physical bodies are unconscious on a cave floor. Art of telepathy will make my explanation much easier"

"Explanation?" Randy said, still a little weirded-out by this whole art of telepathy thing. "Ohhh, this is the part where you do a dumb monologue and explain your evil plan right?"

"I wouldn't call it a monologue so much as a form of persuasion" Evil Randy replied. "A sales pitch to get your help, if you will"

"My help?" Randy asked curiously.

"Yes, you see…..I need you for a do over"

"Aagh!" Future ninja yelled in pain as the Oni's iron club hit him, luckily he dodged enough for it not to break any of his bones. Future ninja was having an extremely difficult time fighting this thing, not only did it outmatch him in raw strength its skin was as hard as rock, the only thing that had kept him alive so far was the fact that it was much slower than him, but he would slip up eventually and that would be the end.

"Just beat the thing so we can rescue Cunningham already!" Howard said from behind one of the bookcases there at the library where the battle was currently happening. "You are getting pwned out there"

"Not helping!" Future ninja snapped back. As much as he hated to admit it Howard was right he was getting pwned and he needed to end this fast, there was no telling what Evil Randy could do to Randy.

Future ninja attacked again relentlessly, but all for naught as the Oni showed no signs of pain, it turned and its hair got in future ninja's face temporarily distracting him, then out of nowhere the Oni backhanded future ninja so hard he crashed into the wall and made a small crater. Future ninja was in a lot of pain, luckily he didn't feel like anything was broken yet, he looked up to glare at the Oni but all the Oni did was smirk, the smugness in its eyes made future ninjas blood boil.

"Ohohhooo, you are gonna regret that" He charged his fist with orange energy. Ninja meteor hammer was his strongest ninja power, but it also took a huge strain on his stamina so he was warned to use it sparingly, unfortunately when future ninja gets angry all warnings are thrown out the window.

The Oni tried to crush future ninja with its club, but future ninja dodged and closed the distance between his fist and the Oni's face.

"Ninja meteor hammer!" Future ninja yelled as his fist slammed into the Oni's ugly mug. The Oni was sent flying through the library and crashed into the wall breaking it, then breaking two more as he was still soaring. A few students and staff looked through the holes to see who just launched a red hairy creature through their rooms.

"What?! Whaattt, that what you get, don't step up to me son!" Future ninja gloated loudly moving his hands around in the air.

Howard would just looked at future ninja with a brow raised. Future ninja noticed Howards stare and coughed into his fist a little embarrassed by how he acted, he suddenly staggered back the exhaustion from using the meteor hammer twice in the same day setting in.

"Well *pant* that's *pant* taken care of" Future ninja remarked.

"Uhhhh" Howard replied pointing at where the Oni landed, it was getting back up!

"Oh c'mon!"

-[line break]- -[line break]- -[line break]-

"A do over?" Randy asked confused.

"Yes, a do over" Evil Randy answered. Suddenly the dark room they were standing in changed rearranging and transforming into another place, one Randy recognized extremely well, the school halls.

But something was different, everything was on fire, holes littered the school walls, and there crawling to the eye of eternity was a lone boy whose body looked beaten and broken.

"I'm sure the nomicon has shown you my story" Evil Randy continued. "And I need to tell you, I do feel guilt for the decision I made that day. The casualties I may have caused"

"Guilt?" Randy said. "You honking caused as much damage as the sorcerer when you fought! Hundreds of people died!"

Evil Randy looked at him with an emotionless expression. "Yes, and that's why I need your help, I still, I still wasn't strong enough, but with you I can be, I can do it right"

"I-I don't understand" Randy said, a creepy feeling going down his spine.

"The tengu has given me all of its powers" Evil Randy said, the scenery transforming again to them floating right above the eye of eternity. "That includes possession"

Randy's eyes bulged in fear and shock.

"Think about it" Evil Randy continued, an unsettling look on his eyes. "I take over you, then I use you to absorb the tengu of this time. Imagine it I would have twice the power I have now, the sorcerer wouldn't stand a chance, all the death and destruction that happened in the future, and they would be erased from history! Don't you see boy, you could help me save the world! And it doesn't have to end there, imagine with all that power we could protect the world from anything! Ghosts? Gone, Secret society of monsters? No longer a problem, Aliens? Would they even stand a chance?"

Randy was scared, he was extremely scared right now, but he couldn't help but hope for something like that, a world where he no longer has to be scared of anything hurting anyone ever again…..or hurting him ever again.

"B-but if you possess me? What happens…to me?" Randy asked, dismissing all his previous thoughts when he realized what being possessed might mean for him.

"…Sacrifices must be made to ensure the future, even the nomicon knew that"

Future ninja shakily held up his fists as the Blue goliath stalked towards him, he wasn't sure he could take anymore punishment. His knees were like jelly, his lungs were on fire and black dots littered his vision. The Oni broke into a run, future ninja panicked and jumped, he searched his belt and threw a ninja flash ball at the Oni's eyes blinding it. Unfortunately that wasn't enough as the Oni's still punched future ninja while blinded. Future ninja fell but his mask got caught on a piece of debris pulling it off him, leaving him suit less and face down on the floor.

Howard stared at the back of future ninjas now uncovered head, then he looked at the Oni who was regaining its sight. For some reason the Oni stated looking around confused, as if it was searching for something, then it howard figured it out. 'It's looking for the ninja!' Howard thought.

Future ninja came too and felt his face for his mask, he started looking around and spotted it on the debris. As he was about to reach for it Howard grabbed future ninjas hand and shook his head mouthing the word 'no'. Future ninja pouted, and Howard glared at him.

Howard and future ninja held their breath as the Oni stood over them, growling and staring them down. The Oni the shrugged and walked away, out of the building. Howard and future ninja let their breath out, and slumped down, leaning on each other.

"Thanks" Future ninja sighed.

"Don't mention it" Howard replied. "Except to all your friends in the future, that I saved the ninja"

Future ninja rolled his eyes. "That thing will probably lead us to Randy if we follow it"

"Right" Howard said. "But are you sure you can go? That thing wonked you up real bad"

"I'm fine"

"If you say so"

As future ninja tried to stand up he nearly fell over, Howard caught him and looked at him disapprovingly.

"Okay so maybe I'm not fine" Future ninja said. "But right now I'm the only chance you have at getting your friend back"

"…fine" Howard said. "But this is a straight rescue mission, you barely handled one of those things, even with Cunningham I'm pretty sure it'll take more than two ninjas to take them down"

"OK" Future ninja said, considering Howard's words.

Howard handed future ninja his mask and watched as the ancient fabric covered the boy's body. Howard looked at future ninja then looked away.

"What?" Future ninja asked curiously.

"Nothing I just wasn't expecting you to have brown hair under there" Howard answered, shrugging.

-[line break]- -[line break]- -[line break]-

"You can't do that!" Randy said. He felt sick, this guy was going to kill him, well not kill more like completely take over his life.

"Self-preservation" Evil Randy said. "It's understandable, even I felt it back when I had no choice but to use the tengu's power, but this….this is what we signed up for isn't it? To protect everyone"

"You don't want to protect everyone!" Randy spat back. "You want to control everyone!"

"Maybe" Evil Randy replied. "But did you ever stop to think that maybe control is the only way to protect everyone?"

Randy had no answer for that.

"You have to think farther ahead now, Randy" Evil Randy said. "You beat a monster or robot today, so what? Another one pops up the next. More robots, more monster more….more brushes with death. This is your chance kid, to make a better world, for everyone, you'll be gone, but everyone will be safe, no more monsters, no more robots, no more sorcerers. Make the right choice"

"I-I can't be a part of this" Randy said, it was extremely tempting, but self-preservation was outweighing everything on his mind right now. "I just can't"

"Then this is what you are condemning norrisville and the world to" Evil Randy said, a hard look on his face.

The floor below Randy cracked with green light streaming through, the floor gave away and Randy fell onto a pillar that was high enough for him to see where this mindscape had brought him. What he saw made his stomach lurch, the city of norrisville was on fire, building all broken and destroyed the sky a sickening red and the moon had a green tint to it reminding Randy of the sorcerer's powerballs.

"Your fault…..your fault…your fault!" Randy heard chanting coming from bellow his pillar where he saw everyone he knew or ever knew now a monster all chanting, blaming, telling him that this was all his fault. The pillar collapsed and he fell into the sea of monsters who grabbed at him dragging him deeper and deeper into their depths, all while he could hear the sorcerer's maniacal laughter in the distance.

"no..no" Randy said, as he fought to stay above the monsters.

"There are only two paths kid" Evil Randy said as he hovered over Randy. "My way or this one"

"NO!" Randy said as Evil Randy used his foot to push Randy under.

Randy woke up on the cave floor in a gasp, clutching at his throat and searching his body for any signs of the struggle he had just been through. He looked around remembering this cave, the very cave the sorceress was in. He even noticed the portal from the land of shadows was open again, and provided the only illumination in the cave.

Evil Randy was sitting across from Randy staring at him.

"Th-this doesn't change anything" Randy said hoping the traumatic experience he just went through wouldn't invade his thoughts right now. He needed to sound braver than he actually felt. "I won't let you do this!"

"Let me?" Evil Randy chuckled. "You seem to be under the impression that I need your permission. I will take over you when all my power returns whether you like it or not. I was only trying to persuade you out of mercy, I wanted you to choose to die honourably with a purpose, but instead you chose to be selfish, putting yourself above everyone else in norrisville. Pathetic"

Randy had a look of hurt on his face, he looked away trying to dismiss what his evil future self said. But a small voice in his head was telling him that it was true.

"And you two can come out now, I could sense you the second you entered following that big buffoon" Evil Randy said, pointing his thumb at the blue Oni.

Future ninja and Howard came out from behind a rock, they waited to see how everything turned out, unsure of what to do when they noticed Randy and Evil Randy unconscious and unmoving, and they had hoped that maybe Evil Randy would leave at some point giving them a chance to rescue Randy.

"I suppose you're here to help him" Evil Randy said pointing at Randy and using his other hand to get something from his pocket and tossing it at Randy. "You'll need this"

Randy, future ninja and Howard stared in confusion at the object that he threw at Randy. It was Randy's ninja mask.

"Why would you give me this?" Randy asked, taking the mask. It increased their chances of survival, why would Evil Randy be willing to do that?

"Because" Evil Randy explained, as he moved to the back of the cave and sat. "You'll need it if you're going to survive this"

Suddenly from the cave celling Oni's fell from where they were hiding. Instantly filling the cave, and instantly filling Randy, Howard and future ninja's faces with dread.

"What?" Evil Randy cackled. "You didn't think I just left the portal open to be used as a lamp did you? The kid and I had been out for hours, that more than enough time to regenerate enough power to pull out more Oni's while keeping out anything a little more dangerous"

Randy slipped on the mask and ran to stand next to Howard and future ninja, they gulped and adopted a battle stance, while Howard hid behind a rock.

"So…Let's begin" Evil Randy said snapping his fingers cueing the Oni's to charge.
