Chapter 7

Hey guys! I just wanted to clarify that there will be Mikanda and Kick. I apologize if I did not make that clear to you guys!

(Kim's Pov)

I stood there staring at the ninja suite that I was holding in front of me. 'Was this some sort of Halloween costume or something? 'I asked myself. I laughed at the thought of Amanda celebrating on Halloween; she was never the kind of person that liked to dress up in costumes. I on the other hand did not mind it at all, but then again we are two totally different people. As I let a my brain wonder into a rabbit trail of thoughts for a few moments more, I was soon brought back to awareness of this whole situation when I had to ask myself 'Why would Amanda have this suite, if she does not dress up in costumes?' I feel like this whole trip had been joined with one whole twist of confusion and commotion. I needed to find out what was going on and soon.

(Amanda's Pov)

'Was this really happening?' I asked myself. I couldn't help but wonder and wish that this was all a bad dream, and that my imagination had gotten the best of me. Though sad to say this was actually happing, this was not a dream, nor was it a prank, and I am at loss of words say, and knowledge of what to do to. Just moments ago I was brought to the attention of one video that could change our point of view of everything that would have something to do with us fighting crime.

Moments earlier:

Once Mike and I had made our way down the layer, Mike dragged me over to the video screen and showed me a video that Jelly face himself had sent to us. Now usually this video would just be a normal video that gave us information and possible a hint to what he was a planning and where he was, but this was no ordinary vide. This video had proven Mike's instincts were correct about jelly face being stronger, more powerful and most of all angrier than ever. There was no doubt in my mind that it was going to take more than just 3 ninjas to stop him. We needed help, but who could join us to stop the madness that was invading the city? In the video Jelly face's voice thundered with emotion as he growled out the worrisome words to us, and surprising to say he was disguised as me.

"In case you all are wondering why I sent this video to you, I personally wanted to warn you about the strength that I have gained because of the torment that you put me through. As our battle goes on I can guarantee that you will soon regret putting me in those gruesome prisons. You just wait and see, I am stronger this time, and you could say that I have partnered up with… friends that I think you will enjoy meeting. Oh If were you I would do everything in my power to keep my family members safe. "Jelly face said with a desire for revenge that was clearly welling deep inside of him.

Suddenly, with a snap or the fingers, the video was over.

I was worried, what if we could not defeat him? What would happen to them, if we could not put him back in jail? I soon became more worried by the second, I was letting my enemy's words get the best of me and that was not ok. There was one thing for sure though…Jelly face was going to be defeated. I was going to make sure of it.

"So people, what do we do? How are we going to fight this guy… and win?" Owen wonders with curiosity.

"Well there is no doubt about it, we need someone to help us fight this guy…but who would be willing help us and keep our secret?" Mike asks us.

Seconds went by, and somehow I was reminded that Kim was a black belt in karate. Maybe I could convince them to allow Kim to help us if she agrees to not tell anyone.

"Hey, my sister is a black belt in Karate, maybe she could help us." I informed in a hopeful voice.

"As much of a help that you think that will be Amanda, we need someone stronger, some one that has a reputation for fighting crime, and winning. We need a ninja that goes by the name of the Starship knight." Holo-gramps replies to me in a serious tone.

"Oh yeah, I have heard of him! Rumor has it that this dude has taken on seven of the most dangerous people in the whole world!" Owen exclaimed in excitement.

"Um… who exactly is he? I mean do we even know who this guy is, or if he will help us?" I questioned them.

"We do know who he is, for a true ninja will not reveal his or her Identity to anyone. As for him helping us I do not know if he will be willing to help us, for he prefers to work alone. He is our only option if we want jelly face and his new crew to be stopped. I am sorry Amanda, but even though your sister may be as good as you say she is, we cannot risk putting her in that kind of danger. We have to go with the starship ninja, and that is final." Holo-gramps stated

"Grandpa is right; Jelly face already threatened all of our families. Having Kim join us to defeat him would be a dumb move on our part" Mike told me.

I stayed silent, for I knew that they were right. I could not, be willing to put my own sister in that kind of danger, if something were to happen to her I don't know what I would do with myself. I had to keep my crime fighting life to myself, but that was going to be hard. My sister and I never kept secrets from each other, we never had to, but this job takes great responsibility.

"Fine, I guess you guys are right, but do we even know how to get in touch with this guy?" I asked them.

"Well, not exactly….. But we could find a way." Mike responded as if trying to keep my hopes up.

"Great…. Just great, we have no way of contacting him and he may be our only choice. "I replied back in disappointment.

"Do not give up just yet Amanda; I might have one way that we could contact him." Holo-gramps told me.

Before I could reply to anything, I was interrupted by Owen as he took a step forward right beside me.

"And how is that gramps?" I asked him in suspicion.

"You guys already knew that before Mike could handle this kind of responsibility, I was the ninja that kept this city safe out of trouble. What you did not know is that I was called the war strong ninja and that on one of the last nights that I fought for this city's safety, I had the privilege of being able to team up with the Star. Somehow, I was able to gain his trust. He told me that if ever I needed help, to contact him. He had programed a contact button in my computer system that would let him know that I needed his help. All you guys need to do is press that button and he would come." Holo-gramps explained

"Oh so it's like you have him on speed dial. That is AWSOME!" Owen exclaimed in excitement.

"Well… what are we waiting for? Let's call The Star." Mike said enthusiastically.

"Before you do anything, you need to know a few things. First when you call him it might take him a while to respond, so you must be patient. What you also need to know is that although this guy might help you guys; it is hard to gain his trust. You guys must do as he says and treat him with respect, but do not under any circumstances reveal your identity to him." Grandpa said with a serious tone in his voice.

"We understand grandpa, now where is this button?" I asked him.

"The button is a blue button located on the main computer controls. It is supposed to say help, on it." He clarified.

Owen, mike and I walked over to the computer's main controls and began to look for that same blue button that mike's grandpa had described just moments earlier. Soon enough, we came across a blue help button. Owen gently pressed my and against in, after he had pressed it, the button soon lit up, and began to flash. The message had been sent.

"Found it, and I already pressed it. The starship knight should be receiving our message soon." Owen confirmed

"Good job team, now go get some rest. You three are going to need it." Grandpa advised us before he disappeared.

"Ok, well I should really get home. My sister is probably wondering what is taking so long, and I don't want her to get suspicious" I remarked while I started to make my way out of the layer.

"Amanda, wait up! Let me walk you out, it's the least I could do since we kind of ruined your time with your sister." He said nervously as he gave me a half smile.

I was flattered; these were the moments when mike showed qualities of a true gentleman, and I quite liked it. To be honest, mike had always been there for me, even when I may not have deserved it. He was always the one to make my day a whole brighter, just by doing little things like offering to walk me out. I-

"Amanda, are you ok? Hello?" Mike asked in a worried tone in his voice.

Great! Just great I completely embarrassed myself!

"Um… yeah, I am fine. I just have a lot on my mind that's all." I said before giving him a half smile.

"Oh, well alright, well lets go I will walk you to your car." He responded while walking beside me.

Minutes went by, and soon enough I was at my car, and getting ready to go home. Before I had the chance to leave, I was stopped once again, by mike who was giving a sympathetic look before he began to speak.

"Look Amanda, I know that it is hard not worrying about your family being in danger, but they are going to be alright. I will make sure that no harm comes to any of families I just don't want you to be too stressed out." He said trying to comfort me.

I gave him a reassuring smile, before I reached out and gave him a hug. I felt so thankful to be able to know him.

"Thanks Mike, you always know what to say at the right time." I replied back to him, as a get in to my car.

"Well goodnight mike, I'll see you tomorrow." I told him with a half- way cheerful tone.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow. I will call you if I get any response from The Star" He informed me, as I began to turn on my car.

With that, I was gone. I don't really know what to make of this whole situation, but what I do know is that I am going to ready to protect those around me. I can handle Jelly face threatening me, but when it comes to me and my family, I will do anything I can do to protect them. Jelly face had better watch out, because whatever he and his little partners in crime have planned for us is going to be put to an end. He can be sure of that…

(Kim's pov)

Well, it's been over an hour and a half since Amanda has been gone. How long does it take to fix a dumb mistake for a biology project?! … If that is really what she was doing. She is hiding something, but what could it be? Hmmmm…..

(The Star's pov)

I was finally alone. Trouble had stopped calling my name, and now I am back in my layer. It not easy you know, having to juggle my life during my day and my life as a ninja. I was looking over my day, and all the things that I have accomplished today, it was like I was in my own world. Suddenly I was awoken from my world; I had gotten a help message from my good friend the war strong ninja. I was soon becoming worried for my friend who might have been in trouble, until I had remembered the night that I had found out that he had died. If he couldn't have pressed it, then who could be I know is that I am going to find out.I am determined. Well, it looks like I am going to have to go to Empire city sooner than I thought...

So, who is the starship ninja? How do you think Amanda will react when she finds out that Kim found her ninja suite? Will Kim find out about Amanda's ninja life?
