"Sir can I leave now? I think I've seen enough." I guess the guilt got to Viceroy sooner than I thought. At least there will be one less person to see me die. McFist doesn't even have time to answer him, by the time he does, Viceroy is already out the door.
I lift up my head to look at my bro and tell him, "I'm sorry Howard, and I'm such a shoob. This is all my fault."
"Cunningham, this isn't your fault. You were doing exactly what you had to do as the ninja. You were trying to protect everyone." I feel horrible, this wasn't supposed to happen. None of this was. I have to pay for my mistakes; I have to let McFist kill me.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Enough with the heart warming talk. It's time I put you in your place kid!" McFist pulled out a remote with a red button on it and he pressed it. I am released from the platform, and fall to the ground. I get up and try to look for another exit. All there was, was the big door that was behind McFist.
"Come on Cunningham! I know you can kick this shoob's butt. You know you can!" I give Howard a glance and tell him,
"Howard shut u-" McFist punches me right in the gut, and I am thrown across the room, and slam into the wall.
"Hey! I wasn't ready!" I yell at McFist.
"Oh well, pay attention next time!"
I get up and try to look for anything I could use to defend myself with. All there was was my mask that was all the way on the other side of the room. If I can get my mask, then I can grab Howard, and we can both get out of here. McFist begins to charge toward me with his robotic arm in the air, I as well start to do the same thing. Right when McFist is about to punch me, I slide right underneath him, sliding all the way to my mask. I quickly put my mask on.
"I'm not going to fight you McFist. I wouldn't fight you, even if my life depended on it." I know McFist is a bad guy, but I still wouldn't fight him. He's just trying to get revenge on me. But that's the past, if I can just convince him that the past is the past, and that he needs to focus on his future.
"I don't need to fight you, I just need you dead! Once you're dead, I will finally get my powers. And all of Norrisville will be doomed!"
"McFist, I know I've caused you a lot of stress. And that you want to get rid of me because of that, but you can't keep thinking about the past, and how you can change it. You have to start planning on your future." I'm hoping that McFist will start to see things my way, are the right way.
"This has nothing to do with all the stress you've given me. This is about me getting the power of my choice!" I could see that McFist was beginning to become impatience. I got to get Howard and me out of here, and fast. I looked around for a window and there was a huge one right behind Howard and the two-robo apes. I sprint toward Howard, and I grab him by his shirt and I quickly sprint out of there. It wasn't my best landing, but at least we were out of the building.
"Dude, are you okay? Did he do anything to you?" I ask Howard sounding very concerned.
"Cunningham I'm fine! He didn't even bother with me until he wanted me to watch him destroy you. I warned him that you were going to kick his honkin butt! But are you okay man? I mean, he just showed all of Norrisville your identity." I forgot all about that. What's the point of me keeping my mask on, everyone all ready knows my secret any ways. I take off the mask and put my head down in shame.
"Yeah I'm fine. But I really screwed up big time man. This is wonk. What should I do Howard?"
"THE NOMICON! We forgot the Nomicon bro!" Howard and I both look at each other in shock. The building I had just escaped from is now the building I have to break into.
"I can't go back to get it. Not yet. I have to prepare myself."
"So I guess no Grave Puncher this weekend? That's okay man; the Nomicon means a lot to you bro. I'm going to help you get it back." I look at my best bud and smile at him. Even though we weren't going to hang out at my house playing Grave Puncher, at least we were going to kick butt together.
