I knew that things were going to change for me in Norrisville. That instead seeing the ninja fighting robots and monsters, everyone would be seeing me. But Howard and me have been walking for thirty minutes now, and no one is acting out of the ordinary. They're acting like I don't even exist. Something just wasn't right. I have to figure out what it is right after I get the Nomicon.
"Hey Cunningham, shouldn't everyone be crowding around you by now? I mean your secret is out now."
"I know it's strange. But I can't let it bother me. We have to focus on the task at hand. We have to figure out how we're going to get the Nomicon. We need get back to my house and get some gear for you Howard." I was also keeping another secret from Howard. When we were little kids, we played in my tree house in my backyard all the time. But we haven't been in it together ever since Grave Puncher came out. Now that I'm the ninja, I thought it might be a good idea to keep some weapons in our tree house incase I ever lost the mask.
"Wait, why are we going to your house? I don't need that any kind of to kick butt, all I need are these two bad boys!" Howard pulls up both his hands in the shape of a fist. Yeah, Howards definitely going to need some gear.
"Just follow me Howard. You remember our old tree house we used to always play in?"
"Yeah. Why?" Howard is now a bit confused. Well I wouldn't blame him. I mean it does seem pretty stupid to bring up our old childhood hang out when we're right in the middle of trying to figure out how to get the Nomicon back.
"Come up. I'll show you, this is the cheese Howard. Trust me." I begin to climb up the ladder to our old hang out. I look down when I'm all the way at the top to see Howard finally coming up to see what all the fuss was about. When we get up there, Howard is speechless. With a bunch of grabbling hooks on one side, and nun-chucks on the other. Not to mention I had a couple of swords right over by the window.
"Oh…My…Juice! This is so bruce Cunningham. I am so going to kick some serious butt with these. And the best part about it is that we're going to be kicking butt together! Alright Cunningham, lets go get the Nomicon back." Howard couldn't wait to try out all of his weapons I was letting him borrow. He's not going to keep them, but I'm just going to tell him that I need them back after we get the Nomicon back.
"Are you sure you want to do this bro? I mean if something happens to you man, you know I'm going to have to kill McFist, right?"
"Yeah I know you wouldn't do that bro. You're the ninja, you're my best friend, and you're better than that." Howard begins to climb down the ladder with his new gear with him. And when we get to the bottom, he says one more thing to me before we go on our most dangerous mission yet, "By the way Cunningham, if something does happen to me and you do decide to kill McFist. I'm going to haunt you Cunningham. So promise me you won't kill McFist if I die." I start to think about what it would be like if Howard haunted me. He'd probably be farting in my face while I'm asleep, or pants me while I'm at school. And I really don't think I want to be getting ghost fart in my sleep and getting pantsed during school every day.
"Okay, I promise that if you die, I won't kill McFist." I hope that nothing happens to Howard while we're there. Because if something does happen to him, I don't think that I could be able to control myself from killing McFist.
