Chapter ten is done and now up! Time to get into some more action lol.

Enjoy and review!

The next day at school was great for all three of them. The school was abuzz with talk about the party. People made comments and said hello as they passed, even in class teachers had a hard time keeping the whispers silent. Randy had completely forgotten about the Nomicon's warnings, Howard taking advantage of the status to play it cool, a pair of shades over his eyes. Terri gained attention from many of the people there, girls giggled and waved as they passed.

"Man this is so wonk" Howard said as they walked Terri up front before lunch, "lunch would have been the perfect time to be the center of attention, and you have a dentist appointment."

"We will miss you buddy" Randy said, being dramatic and teasing.

Terri chuckled, "I'll see you guys tomorrow."

"Or later" Randy said, "if your feeling up to it, I thought we could hit the movies."

Howard smiled, "we could totally watch Brain Crushers!"

Terri had never heard of the movie, but gave a nod to them. He waved, before heading out the door to where Viceroy as Mr. Morgan waited in the car.

"Alright" Viceroy said, switching off his disguise as they got far enough away from the school, "ready for the plan?"

Terri nodded, tossing his back into the back seat.

"As we speak, a rhino bot is preparing to be released" Viceroy turned the corner.

"A rhino?" Terri raised an eyebrow.

Viceroy sighed, "Hannibal's been watching his nature shows again. Anyways, the robot will be released across from the school. As it rampages, the ninja will of course be drawn out to stop it and protect the students."

Terri nodded, watching as they continued on towards the large pyramid like building of McFist Industries.

"Once the ninja seems to have the situation under control, you will get to step in and take it from there" Viceroy glanced at him, "do not let your guard down. This is what you were programmed and trained for."

"Yes sir" Terri understood the importance behind his words.

Even though this was just a field test, a first engaging of the ninja, it was his time to show McFist that this mission was not a total failure. A hand was placed on his shoulder, Terri looked over at Viceroy.

"I have faith in you, this will be simple for you" he smiled.

They parked, stepping out to go inside. Robo apes followed them to the elevator, which took them up to the office where McFist stood looking out the window.

"Almost show time" he said, smiling as he looked at the school in the distance.

"Hannibal and I will be monitoring from here" Viceroy informed Terri, the two walking over.

"Yeah, we'll be watching" McFist said turning, "so you better not screw it up!"

Terri gave a light bow, "I will not fail."

His mannerism seemed to make McFist smile, few regarding him by actually bowing to him. Viceroy smiled, Terri had become quite good in being able to flatter people, and on McFist, flattery got people far.

"Time to suit up" Viceroy said, "you ready?"

Terri nodded, his expression turning more serious. He lifted his hand, the red mark that McFist had seen on the day he had been revealed appeared and began to glow red. With a flash of light, the one who stand before them once more bared a resemblance to the tengu form of the ninja.

"Do your best" Viceroy smiled.

Terri nodded, before a familiar ball appeared in his hand. Tossing it onto the floor, a cloud of smoke appeared. As it cleared, he was gone. McFist walked over to his desk, slamming a hand down on a red button there, which released the rhino robot from its' pen.

"Have you ever noticed how curly fries look a lot like pig tails?" Howard commented from the table.

"Well that is a nice image" Randy raised an eyebrow.

"Trying to make conversation" Howard said, "we turned in our report today, kind of making me nervous."

"I am sure it was fine" Randy smiled, "just be glad she decided to not embarrass us with actually presenting it to the class."

"I wonder how T's appointment is going" Howard rested his head on his hand.

"Awe, you like him" Randy laughed.

Howard glared a bit, "duh, he's our friend...besides, I'm not the one who first only got to want to know him cause Theressa thought he was cute."

Randy sighed, "that was so not the reason...but even if it was, I am glad we did."

Howard nodded, "he's a bruce guy, definitely best biffer material."

"Totally" Randy smiled agreeing.

"Which brings us back to the question of would you ever consider...telling him?" Howard asked.

Randy frowned, "we've been over this...you wern't even supposed to know at first. The more people who know, the more dangerous it can get."

"So that's a no?" Howard raised an eyebrow.

"I didn't say that" Randy said slowly.

"So it is a yes?" Howard smiled.

"Ugh, would you stop bugging about that already?" Randy took a drink of his milk.

"All I'm saying, is that having another friend to cover for you and help that you can trust might not be so bad" Howard bit into another fry.

Randy rolled his eyes, when a loud crash outside caught their attention. Students moved to the windows, to see what looked like a large robotic rhino.

"Know what time it is?" Randy said quietly by Howard.

Howard sighed, rolling his eyes, "ninja o'clock."

Randy smiled, and took off out of the lunch room.

"Smoke bomb!" in a puff of smoke, Randy appeared near the rampaging rhino, "did someone call for a ninja?"

The rhino turned its head in his direction and snorted. Lowering its' head, it pawed at the ground with its large foot. With another snort, it charged at him. Randy jumped, flipping out of the way, before pulling a weapon from his suit.

"Ninja chainsicle" he threw it at the robot, the chain wrapping around the horn, "uh-oh."

The rhino continued to run, yanking on the chain. He was forced along with it, flying through the air after the robot. It suddenly slid to a halt, turning to face him. Dropping the end of the chain, he quickly pulled out his sword.

"Ninja slice!" he swung as he met the rhino, landing a ways away from it.

The rhino turned, its' horn sliding off to fall onto the ground. It glared, not happy with that at all. It once more charged at him, an idea coming to him from the battle with the chainsaw werewolves the other day. He moved forward towards the rampaging robot. It swerved a bit towards him, and he dropped to his knees sliding once more as he held out the blade to catch the robots feet. They were more solid though, so despite a deep cut in them, they managed to hold on. It once more slid to a stop, turning to charge at him.

"Oh come on" he sighed, before he looked at the legs.

They were sparking, one strong enough attack might cause them to snap. He smiled, throwing his scarf towards a lamp post that was not far away. He pulled himself out of the way, moving around the post as the rhino slowed itself and tried to turn.

"Ninja rhino kick" he said, slamming his feet into the side of the rhino.

It roared, tipping slightly. The strain on the legs to much, causing them to snap. It fell hard, sliding a bit on the ground.

"Ah, ha, that's what I'm talking about" he smiled under his mask, students cheering from across the street at the school.

He turned to wave, before something slammed hard into his back, sending him flying forward. He hit the ground, sliding hard along it which made him flinch. He slowly sat up after coming to a stop, rubbing his head.

"Ow" he shook his head, slowly turning to look at what had hit him, he half expected to see the rhino had gotten up.

Instead, standing before him was something he never expected. A figure that was dressed in a very familiar red ninja suit with black detailing on it. He knew it well, red eyes upon him, sent a chill down his spine. It couldn't be...the tengu ninja form?

"What the juice?!"
