Sorry about the last chapter being kinda like a filler, but trust me, it's getting better. Also, I've been into the old Nick cartoon El Tigre so I think after I finish this I'll do an El Tigre/ Grojband or Randy Cunningham crossover with a Manny/Frida pairing. I also might have lied about the songs I'm going to add that I came up with. I wrote one, but I can't seem to find a place to put it, so you might see it, you might not.

P.S. Dear Matt, thank you for pointing out to me that I have the wrong color for Bucky's stanked monster form. I haven't seen Bucky get stanked for quite some time, so I wasn't quite sure. Also, great idea about the whole school getting stanked, but I think I'll let you have it to write your own story with, cause I've got an idea for where this is headed, but thank you anyways!

I do not own Grojband or Randy Cunningham.

Chapter 8

At the gym, dance time~

Randy sat at a table listening as Grojband played Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. He was happy that Laney had come with him and they had gotten to hang out over dinner, but now that she was on stage playing, he was just plain bored.

He looked over at Howard, who was successfully flirting with Debbie Kang. She was blushing and giggling about something he had just said.

"Great," he thought. "Howard didn't even come with a date and he's having more fun than I am." Randy slammed his head against the table and listened as the band started the next song. He didn't know how long he stayed like that, but he was startled by a hand on his shoulder.

He jumped slightly and looked up to see Theresa Fowler standing over him with a worried look on her face.

"Are you okay, Randy," she said, her voice laced with concern.

Randy smiled up at her and nodded. "Yeah," he said, "just getting a little bored with my date on stage the whole time."

Theresa's eyes widened with shock. "I didn't know you came with the girl with red hair," she said looking up at Laney, then back to Randy.

"Yeah," he said rubbing the back of his neck. It hadn't really occurred to him how special his situation was; coming to the dance with an almost rockstar.

"I guess it would get kinda boring, huh," she said with her usual smile and optimistic attitude.

Randy nodded then said, "How about you? Where's your date?"

Theresa suddenly found her shoes very interesting as she said, "I didn't come with anybody. Nobody asked me."

Randy mentally facepalmed himself. How could he have said something so insensitive?! That was when Randy got a good look at Theresa. She looked very… pretty tonight. She was wearing a red, sleeveless cocktail dress that ruffled out at the bottom and a black line of ribbon that went around her waist. A small star-shaped broach was pinned to the black ribbon a little to the left. She had on black high-heeled shoes and her hair was up in its usual style, but a black bow was tied around the ponytail.

"It's hard to believe that no one asked you," Randy said mostly to himself, but it didn't go unnoticed by Theresa.

"Thanks," she said smiling back up at him.

Randy and Theresa sat at that table and talked about random, little things. Randy was actually starting to have fun, until it was ruined by an ear-piercing scream, followed by the sound of the crashing debris from part of the ceiling coming down as a McFist robot plowed it's way into the gym.

Randy didn't think, he simply acted on his instincts. He jumped up from the table and ran to the boy's restroom, digging in his pocket for the ninja mask as he ran. Once in the bathroom, he pulled the ninja mask on and let the strands of black and red fabric cover his body before bursting back out into the gymnasium.

He watched at the robot scanned the gym, almost as if looking for something. He watched at the robots head stopped moving, looking straight at the stage where Grojband stood staring in shock. The arm of the robot started reaching for the four frightened teens.

Randy's eyes widened with worry and shock. "Or someone," he thought grimly. "More like four someones." Randy took out his ninja sword and prepared for battle. "But why would McFist want to go after Grojband? It doesn't make any sense."

Randy jumped onto the robots outstretched arm and brought the sword down, cutting part of the arm. The giant metal monster twitched and glitched due to the wires in the arm being severed from the sorce of power. He sprinted down the arm landing right in front of the band.

"Listen," he said directing their attention to him, "you four have to get out of here. The robot's after you for some reason, so you have either leave or hide."

Kin and Kon waisted no time, rushing to the stands and hiding underneath them. Corey and Laney hesitated, giving Randy an apprehensive look.

"I'll be fine," Randy said, trying to reasure his friends. Before they even had time to argue the robot arm reached down once again aiming for the two friends. They ran off, in different directions Laney heading for the girl's bathroom and Corey ducked under a snack table that had managed to stay undamaged.

Randy turned his full attention to the robot, ready to tear it apart like every other one he fought, but he was unprepared to see that the robot's severed wires where now attached again, giving the robot control of it's arm once again.

He threw himself at the metal contraption slicing and slashing, but everytime he hit it and cut, the wires would come back together and fix itself. It didn't even seem to notice that the ninja was even there at all. In fact, it was heading somewhere.

Randy turned around to see that the robot was heading straight for the girl's restroom, where Laney had just went to hide moments before.

Cold fear gripped Randy's heart as he realized that Laney was the last one to hide, so she was the one the robot had set it's sight on. It was going after Laney and it wasn't stopping.

In the girl's restroom

Laney ran through the bathroom door, closing it behind her as quickly as possible. She looked around and realized that running into the bathroom was not the smartest idea. There was nowhere to hide except in the stalls.

She took a deep breathe and went to the first stall. She opened it, but stopped at a scream was released from a girl a red cocktail dress that was already in there. She was crouched on top of the toilet bowl with her arms over her head in fear.

"Relax," Laney said quickly entering the stall and locking it behind her. "I'm just here to hide." She stood up on the toilet seat with the girl and tried to give her a reassuring smile even though she was shaking with fear.

The girl nodded and looked Laney up and down. "Hey," she said after a moment. "You're the girl from the band that came here with Randy."

Laney nodded, but quickly stopped after hearing a rather large "BOOM" from outside the room. She listened closely for anymore sounds of battle, but it was silent. It was like that for a few moments and the only sound that was heard was the two girls' breathing.

Laney let out a sigh of relief, but quickly sucked it back in when the wall came crashing down, the robot and the ninja behind the wreckage.

Laney tried to make herself seem smaller inside the stall, but it didn't work. The door to the stall was ripped off it's hinges by the robot who was looking straight at her. It's large hand reached out for her and she looked over to her left to see the ninja trapped under a large piece of wall that had fallen on him.

Randy was struggling to free himself from his temporary prison. Laney couldn't do anything. She was frozen with fear of the impending doom that was soon to befall her.

"Look out," she heard the girl next to her shout and she flung herself toward Laney, probably in an attempt to push her out of the way, but that plan went horribly wrong. Instead of getting Laney out of way, all it did was drag her into it.

They both let out a scream as the robot lifted them into the air. Laney looked around frantically, trying to find a way to get out of it's grip. But before she could find anything, she felt her body leave the robots grasp and landing inside a large metal cage located in the robot's torso.

The girl next her let out an "oof" as she landed with her. Once they both regained their senses, they rushed to the bars of the cage and started sceaming.

The robot turned and started to head back toward the hole it had made in the ceiling, tossing the girls back and forth in their jail. Once it was at the entrance it had made, Laney could see what looked like a flying saucer floating about the school.

The robot reached up it's arm and it's hand acted as a grappling hook, shooting out of the arm and up until it hit the space-craft. Once the hand was hooked, it started to real up the rest of the body.

The girl next to Laney screamed, but Laney did the only thing she could think of. She screamed the name of the person she trusted more than anyone to come and save her.

"COREY!"

Cliffhanger...
