Hey new chapter! Again so sorry, but this time I'm sorry cuz I feel like this is shorter than the last haha anywho this one's a big info dump hmmm
Again I have school now and its taken a lot of my time and left me drained, but I did my best and I hope it was okay.
"I felt it within him just a night ago….it's time" Evil Randy said opening his glowing red eyes.
~[line break]~ ~[line break]~ ~[line break]~
"Ninja, I have already told you the story of your future self's fall three time now, I cannot tell you more than I did last night when you asked" Future Nomicon said to Randy in first ninja's voice. "You absorbed the Tengu's power. That is all I can tell you"
"I know…" Randy replied in a criss-cross apple sauce sitting position. "It just feels like we're missing something, I want to make sure I understand everything before I jump to conclusions"
The nomicon chuckled. "Like you usually did back in my youth?"
Randy smiled. "Okay I'll admit I'm not the sharpest ninja ring in the sash, but…"
"I believe you once jumped to a conclusion and ended up giving your classmate Julian the powerball"
"Nooot one of my better moments" Randy replied jokingly.
"While you often nearly drove me to almost ripping my own pages out…I will admit it was..fun"
Randy smiled at the future nomicon. It felt nice to talk to it like this especially after everything it has been through.
"Alright let's get back to business. There's been something bugging me about the story you keep saying 'absorbed' the tengu's power…what do you mean? Like did I release it and let it try and possess me? Evil me said it tried but he beat it" Randy said, knowing he couldn't keep chatting it up with Henry's nomicon forever, it would lose power soon and it wouldn't be able to stay active for long.
"It is unlikely that he released it, the Tengu seems to have grown attached to Weinerman the second it was released it would have ignored you completely and looked for Weinerman, as we discovered during your sophomore year during one of your battles" The nomicon replied.
"Wait so how did I get the Tengu to try and possess me?" Randy inquired.
"Ah, it seems I neglected to tell you, you see what you did was…."

"Just because we let him off the hook last time, doesn't mean he can leave whenever he wants!" Henry said annoyed, he stomped angrily into the school's hallway where Howard(not ninja) had just called them and told them to meet him and Randy there at school. "He's still on probation!"
"Probation sounds a little too harsh, makes it sounds like he was a criminal" Ninja Howard remarked. "How about we say he was grounded instead?"
"Because then it sounds too light, ya wad" Mac said.
"You're a wad!" Ninja Howard shot back.
"You wanna go Weinerman!?"
"Bring it Antfee!"
While the two boys' bickered first ninja spoke up, unfortunately only Henry seemed to have heard him. "Regardless I am curious as to what they called us here for"
Henry kicked open the door to Mr smith's metal shop class, and first ninja's face seemed to say 'was that necessary?'
Henry turned his head to Howard who was sitting beside a shloomped in Randy. "Okay Randy, you're still —"
"Grounded"
"On probation"
"You wanna go Antfee!? I'll fight you!"
"You can't take this Weinerman!"
"—not off the hook" Henry continued. Howard kicked Randy's unconscious body, he expected that it would do nothing, he did not expect Randy to jolt upright the life back in his eyes, Howard jumped back.
"—that is shansty! I can't believe future me would—oh hey guys, you're here" Randy said composing himself.
"Randy what is this about?" First ninja asked. "We were just beginning to trust you again, I assume that you must have an extremely important reason for risking that?"
"I do…" Randy said. "I think I know how we can beat Evil Randy…..we combine the masks"
Despite the room being empty of any bugs, you could hear crickets in the background which complemented the team of ninja's exasperated faces, all but first ninja who had a look of astonishment.
"Buddy…" Howard said with a dry voice. "I think—"
"How did you know about that?" First ninja questioned seriously.
"I spent the whole night last night talking to the messenger, Mr Smith and Henry's nomicon, that's how I know about it" Randy said. "I know that the messenger theorized that we could get more tengu feathers and combine them with the mask making it even stronger, right?
"Yes" First ninja sighed. "By doing so we would increase the mask's power to new heights, and by substituting more feathers for the masks we have here we would quintuple the power of whoever used it"
"Are you guys for real?!" Henry said, hostility in his voice. "Last time we let him 'power up' he nearly blew up a hotel full of people!"
Randy stared at henry, a heavy look on his eyes. Everyone except the two Howards took Henry's words seriously.
"Henry, I know what I did…it was wrong and I'm trying to make up for it now" Randy said genuine sincerity in his voice. "You were mad because I didn't trust you guys enough to tell you my plan, that's what I'm doing now, if you guys don't think I should do this I won't, I trust you guys. As for the endanger other people's lives, you won't have to worry about that…no one's life will be at risk except mine"
"He's right" First ninja said. "The reason I never brought up this method before was because there is a high chance the user trying to get that much power would be overwhelmed and his mind shattered, effectively killing him. And at the time the cost outweighed the benefit if I were to try it"
"But now it doesn't…"Randy said, conviction in his eyes. "If it goes wrong, I'll die and all this…everything that's happened...it'll be over"
"What the juice Cunningham!" Howard yelled angrily. "I just stopped you from doing yourself in yesterday! And now you want to do it again!?"
"No, because it's not gonna end like that" Randy said with confidence. "I'm done doubting myself and looking at the bad side, I'm gonna start believing in myself and do what I've always done, kick evil's butt!"
"It ain't gonna be that simple either" A voice said from the back of the room, the voice coming from none other than S. Ward Smith who was standing next to the messenger. Smith had currently just said what he said to a wall, and the messenger had to help his blind friend face the direction of the ninjas.
"How…long have you been there?" Ninja Howard questioned, a little creeped out.
"The whole time" The messenger said in his gruff voice.
"Honestly, it was like watching a teeny-booper soap opera" Smith noted using his cane as he walked forward. "You kids with your bottled up emotions and dysfunctional friend-teams"
"I doubt a lot of soap-operas have to deal with the forces of darkness taking over the world" Henry grumbled.
"As I was saying" Smith said ignoring Henry. "It ain't gonna be that simple ninja, It's not just mixing the masks together and slappin it on your dace boy, it's taking the power outta the masks and bonding it with your body"
"It takes someone with an unshakable will to ignore the pain of bonding pure energy to your body" The messenger continued Smiths explanation. "But even then it is easy to get lost in it, to merge with this power would send your mind to a higher plane, you would need another person to guide you through it using the art of telepathy. One mind to beat the pain and find your conviction another to help guide you back to us"
"Still, I think its best shot we have" Randy said not backing down. "If we do it right then I'll be just as strong as evil me, and if it doesn't, well that's that. But I need your support, if you don't think I should then I won't"
"You…have shown a lot of growth today Randy" First ninja said. "You are righting the mistakes you made in the past and growing. I am proud of you, seeing that determination in your eyes to do what is right, it reminded me of my brothers. So if this is what you believe is the right path, you have my support"
"Thanks first ninja" Randy said smiling at him. "But there is someone else's support I really need right now"
Randy walked up to Henry and looked him in the eye. "Henry…please, I need you to trust me again"
"No" Henry replied in an incredulous expression on his face.
"Wow, okay. Just, just like that. Not uh not gonna like think on it for a bit?" Randy said not expecting that. "Because like, I felt like a mood going on there and it was building and then you just—"
"Look I can see where you're coming from" Henry said sighing. "But….I know the stories they tell about you, they still tell it in the future and people talk about it like it happened yesterday and the fear in their eyes was so intense. You destroyed a huge part of the city, you've hurt my teacher to the point that it can only stay active for a few hours at best…you took out Mr Weinerman and….Maybe I'm just mad that I wasn't there to stop you"
Randy starred at Henry's sad eyes in silence, he warily put his hand up and placed it on Henry's shoulder.
"I'm sorry" Was all he could say.
"And I know I have trust issues because I don't have a lot of friends, and I know that it's not fair for me to treat you this way because I've seen what a good person you are at least the now you and I'm….I'm just scared, I'm so scared that I can feel it deep inside me, do you know what that's like?" Henry said, looking down at the ground a heavy look in his eyes.
"Better than anyone" Randy said honestly. "So help me….help me fix everything I've done, help me do it the right way. I want you to be the one who guides me back"
"What?!" Henry said extremely confused. "Are you for real? You do know I could just let you die right?"
"I know" Randy said. "But I trust you"
Henry was speechless for a second, then he sighed. "Fine, you win. I'm for it. When do we start?"
"Right now!" Randy exclaimed.
"Now now?" The other ninjas and Howard questioned.
"Now now!" Randy confirmed.
Just as Randy said that the secret door to S. Ward Smith's smithy opened up revealing his sacred fire pit. But instead of coal and fire there was glowing blue water as clear as the sky instead.
"Okay here is my plan" Randy said, digging into his pockets and bringing out a thumb drive. "Howard I need you to bring this to Heidi and get her to put it on her show, make sure she broadcasts it to ALL of norrisville right away, it's a recording of me as the ninja telling everyone to evacuate the city, if me and evil me fight, weeell let's just say Mcfist is gonna have a lot of new buildings to build. While me, Henry and Mr Smith stay here, the rest of you help evacuate the city. Then once I'm all powered up I'm gonna go find evil me and kick his honkin butt!"
"Hmmm, good plan" Smith noted. "Except you gotta big hole in it boy. Once you try to merge with the suits power it'll send up a huge energy signal that's basically a 'I'm here!' sign"
"Wonk!" Randy cursed.
"Then…." First ninja said piping up for the first time in a while. "I will stay at the school gates and stall him as long as I can"
"First ninja that's crazy!" Randy yelled.
"You won't have your mask!" Henry added. "You'll be powerless"
"Yeah dude he'll crush you!" Howard said.
"Like a bug" ninja Howard added.
"Thank you for those words of encouragement" First ninja said in a deadpan. "But I have training and he can't kill me remember?"
"First ninja…" Randy said wanting to stop him but knowing he couldn't.
"I'm only doing what my brothers would have done…and what all of you would too" First ninja said.
"WAIT!" Mac Antfee said piping up for the first time. "I have a totally emotional reason for not wanting this plan to happen too!"
Everyone just starred seriously at Mac with eyes softened waiting for his explantion.
"I don't.." Mac said softly. "Like having my maaaassk, I hate not having it, I hate hate hate it" Mac whined and began throwing a tantrum. Everyone just stared at him with dead expressions of unamusement.
Just then Henry's nomicon buzzed. Henry opened it shloomped in and after a few seconds shloomped back out.
"Nomicon says it has away to buy you guys even more time. But…" Henry said, a worried look on his face. "….I don't like it"
~[line break]~ ~[line break]~ ~[line break]~
The streets of norrisville were in panic as everybody scrambled to get themselves out of the city. As the citizens ran in droves the jumbotron on one of the buildings played Heidi Weinerman's extra special breaking news me-cast episode again.
"Hey norrisville pees it your girl hizzle dizzle with a special video from my super-sweet-because-he-got-me-exclusive-footage-of-the-ninja brother Howard, it's a vid of the towns very own hero, the ninja! Giving out a special message to all of us"
Heidi played the video and there stood the ninja at the center of the screen, looking extremely serious.
"People of norrisville, I have a request that's of the upmost importance. LEAVE NORRISVILLE RIGHT NOW" The ninja said sternly. "Your lives are in danger, I am about to fight a being unlike anything I have ever faced before and I'm not sure that I can win. Mcfist our gracious town gazillionare would be more than glad to carry the majority of you in his hovercraft to safety—"
You could still practically hear Mcfist shouting in rage at the ninja now as hundreds of people flocked to him.
"—and norrisville, this might be the last time you ever see me, so I just want you to that it has been an honour protecting you. And never forget 'Hope is the light that vanquishes all shadows', never stop hoping for the best norrisville"
The video fizzed out as Heidi was left there speechless, without saying a word she began packing her stuff from her studio and bolted then the video went black.
~[line break]~ ~[line break]~ ~[line break]~
Something came crashing down at the edge of norrisville, that something being Evil Randy. His wings returned to his back as he stood and began walking towards norrisville. With his enhanced senses he saw and heard all of the ninjas warning, and honestly he thought it was stupid, he thought that this showed how weak the ninja was, if he needed to send people away to protect them that only meant he didn't have the power to do it right. But that wasn't why he came down, it was because he sensed a huge energy spike, which could only lead him to the conclusion that it was past him, getting ready to fight.
'Looks like the kid's ready to brawl!' The second voice in Evil Randy's head exclaimed. 'I say we give em one!'
'Nooooooooo!' The third voice in his head said back. 'What if they have another trap?! What-what if they use the powerball again!'
But Evil Randy paid no heed to them and simply tuned them out. He looked towards the city as he began flying slow and low towards it he stopped when he entered norrisville. There seemed to be a blockade of Mcfist bots, bots of all shapes and sizes, tanks, robo apes and small hovercrafts blocked his path. Seems like even Mcfist can get cautious if old pajama face is scared.
"Been a while since I took down some robots…hehe" Evil Randy chuckled darkly. Nothing, nothing! Was going to get in his way now, he was so close, so close to taking it all back. So close to getting what he deserved. First he'd have to get thru these bionic buffoons then take care of his younger self, a walk in the park to him really.
"So, let's get started"
Woooh. We are in FIC FINALE ZONE well this was a fun story me and risingdiablo had been workin on for a while and just wanted it out there. What will happen next? Will Randy be able to stop his evil self? Will his hours of listening to the future nomicon pay off? Will the ending satisfy you guys? We'll just have to wait and see!
Don't forget to review! And also don't forget to support the show anyway u can so we can get our season 3!
