There was a faint glow coming from the right wooden pole holding the sign up. I sat down onto my knees and started digging into the ground.

"Why do you think this is gonna work?" Léa asked refusing to help at the moment.

"I don't know. We're standing next to the ninja, nothing could surprise me anymore. Not even if the sorcerer came out from this hole or if McFist was secretly spying on us," I said and realized something, "McFist is spying on us!"

"How do you know?" Abby asked.

"We escaped his trap and he knows that we know who the ninja is. He's bound to be looking for us!" I exclaimed trying to cover up the hole I just dug.

Randy groaned, "Why can't that shoob just leave me alone!?" As always, I understood where Randy was coming from but, my friends had no idea what Randy had just said.

"Ra...uh...Ninja, is there any other way we could get home?" I asked as we got away from the tracker. I called Randy the ninja just in case McFist had any other tricks up his sleeve.

"Hm...nope," Randy replied.

"Well, we came here through the tree in your backyard, right?" Léa started.

"Yeah," the other three of us replied while Randy just looked confused.

"Maybe we can get back through a tree. Or, at least, a hole near a tree."

I thought and remembered back to the episode when the past ninja trapped some stank'd kid in ice. I smiled, "Guys, I know where to go.

I found the tree that the kid ran into but there wasn't anything special about it. I assumed that, since it had actually been in an episode...you know what, scratch that. A lot of trees are seen in episodes of Randy Cunningham 9th Grade Ninja.

"Well I just discovered something," I said.

"What'd you discover?" Shayla asked.

"That I am a complete idiot," I replied.

My friends smiled but Randy looked around before slipping on his ninja mask.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I think you're onto something," He replied turning into his ninja rage.

"What are you gonna do, burn the tree down!?" I exclaimed.

"Not exactly," Randy made a green fire ring around the tree that let off strong winds. It spread rapidly pushing my friends and I back into the ground as Randy was able to keep his balance. The ring grew taller as students from different classes looked out the windows.

Randy's eyes glowed the same color as the green fire ring, glowing just as bright. The red stripes on his black ninja suit turned green and he was engulfed in a green aura.

"Uh...Ninja, I hope you don't mind me asking but, WHAT THE JUICE ARE YOU DOING!?" I exclaimed looking at the freshman in awe.

He looked down to me, his pupil-less eyes starred at me sending a cold shiver down my spine. His arms went from being folded around his back to being on either side of him. The aura disappeared and the ring exploded leaving everyone in awe.

The ninja suit was gone and there lay Randy defenseless and in his school clothes.

When I saw this I didn't know whether to panic for geek out, so I did both. I started laughing nervously as students crowded around the five of us, Howard was pushing and shoving through the crowd.

"How is this possible? The ninja is 800 years old! You're just 14, right?" Bucky questioned.

Neither of us knew exactly how to answer that. I looked at the students crowded around as I helped Randy up. Then I helped my friends up.

"Well, you see, the thing about that is...hey, who wants waffles?" I asked trying to change the subject but, sadly, I failed.

Bash looked down to his hero as if he had just found out he had a long lost twin. I knew what Bash was thinking. "Sweet cheese that shoob's the ninja."

Howard kept on denying any questions that the crowd had and Debby's memory was restored.

"I KNEW IT!" She yelled recalling her last theory before being mind-wiped.

"Wait, but you and the ninja were in the same place at the same time," Heidi reasoned.

"Uh...," Randy thought, first glancing to Howard, then glancing over to me as I stood staring at him worryingly.

Howard looked angry. I was so confused as to what exactly I was thinking. On one hand, I love these moments in shows like this but, what about Randy. I was feeling really bad for him.

A/N: Boom! Plot twist! You're welcome XD. I wanna know what your reaction would be if you were in the show and something like this had happened with Randy. Now as to what happened with the whole tree scene, you'll find out in the next chapter.
