DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN RANDY CUNNINGHAM 9TH GRADE NINJA NOR LIFE AND TIMES OF JUNIPER LEE
"So what's the plan?" June asked the Ninja. Assuming that he came up with something which is why he seems so confident.
"Here's the plan, I beat this fool with punches!" Brock Octane announced charging straight at Ghoulian. Needless to say, once Brock got close enough, Ghoulian simply flicked him away like an old booger. Sending him flying face first into a tree.
"No not the face! It's my bread and butter. I'm a celebrity, I can't afford to look ugly. MAKEUP!" Brock cried as he ran off covering his barely bruised noggin.
"He seemed so much cooler in the movies," Ninja said rather disappointingly.
"That's Hollywood for yah. Everything is fake." Monroe preached.
"Uh guys we still have a giant spider dragon thing to deal with," June reminded them.
"Right," Ninja getting back into to the task at hand.
"So what now?" June asked.
"Yeah I got nothing. I was just going to hit him until he falls!" the Ninja replied as he jumped into action.
"Huh unexpected but surprisingly I'm okay with that," June shrugged as she jumped in after Randy.
"Ninja Rings! Ninja Boom Balls! Ninja Hot Balls! Ninja Cold Balls! Ninja Electro Balls! Ninja Bee Balls!" the Ninja called out as he threw every piece of weapon he had at Ghoulian. Ghoulian naturally tried to block them but was succumbed to the multiple effects of the different balls. The Hot balls bursting into flames on his arms, the cold balls freezing his legs, the electro balls shocking his chest, the boom balls exploding everywhere around him, and the bees swarming around Ghoulian's face. Not wanting to let Randy have all the fun, June using two Shock Stones, blasted at Ghoulian as well. Since the LARPers thought that this was all part of the game, any use of real magic could easily be explained as special effects. Unfortunately despite their best efforts, all their attacks seem only to annoy the big monster.
"ENOUGH!" Ghoulian screamed breaking free of the ice created by the Ninja's Cold Balls. "I will destroy you all!" Ghoulian's wings disappeared and were replaced by over a dozen bladed tentacles.
"Oh boy," both June and Randy groaned as the tentacles started swarming around them. Thanks to their speed and agility, they were able to dodge and block the attacks, but that was all they could do. June and the Ninja stood back to back in order to help protect each other from the onslaught. "Just borrowing this," June said reaching in to the Ninja's pockets and pulling out a long black staff to help her defend herself from the tentacles.
"Help yourself," Ninja replied. "Ninja Sword," the Ninja drawing out his own sword. However one of the tentacles slapped it right out of his hands. "Alright, Ninja Sais," he tried again with sais. This time he managed to hold on to his weapons for a few seconds longer, but ultimately, he also lost them. "Ninja Eskrima." Pulling out these two black rods. After losing his eskrimas, the Ninja pulls out the strange multi-bladed weapon he first brought out on detention island and accidentally sold to Viceroy. "Ninja I still have no idea what this is but at least now I know how to us it." Remembering the button that Viceroy's Roboninja pressed, the blades all snapped into form a duel ended saber.
"A folding lance," June identified.
"It's called a folding lance?" Ninja said disbelief examining his weapon. "Works for me. Folding Lance, Folding Lance, Folding Lance." Ninja kept calling out as he started twirling the folding lance around, knocking back all the tentacles back.
As the battle raged on, fatigue started to kick in and the two heroes began to tire out. Resulting in them getting knocked back by the tentacles. "It's over for you," Ghoulian gloated.
"That it! I'm ending this." June said pulling out her banishing stone again.
"No wait!" Ninja pleaded.
"We don't have any other choice. We gave it our all, but he's too strong for us. If we don't banish him now, the world may be doomed." June argued.
"No there has to be a way," Ninja insisted.
"Are you kidding me? After a beating like that, we're just lucky to be alive!" June snapped.
"Lucky to be alive," Ninja pondered. "Luck? That's it!" The Ninja grabbed hold of June and held her close.
"Um what are you doing?" June blushed at having Randy hugging her.
"Aw, are the heroes trying to have a romantic moment before the end?" Ghoulian snickered.
"Laugh all you want Ghoulian, but your luck has run out." the Ninja declared throwing a small bag up in the air.
"Isn't that..." June recognizing the bag.
"Ninja pouch slice," Ninja using his folding lance to slice open the bag showering both heroes with what's left of the lucky salt potion. Now Randy is no longer cursed, the powder will now increase his and June's already immense luck factor. Tipping the scales in their favor.
"I don't know what you're planning Ninja, but your time is up." Ghoulian taking one step forward, one of his spider legs stepped on a banana peel causing the giant monster to slip and fall. "What just happen?" Ghoulian puzzled at what just happened.
"Luck is falling to our side," the Ninja joked.
"Really," June groaned. She couldn't believe that he just cracked such a stupid joke.
"Come on now, we've got to hit him while he's down!" the Ninja reminded her, going into Rage Mode setting his ninja suit ablaze with Tengu Fire. "Ninja Tengu Fire Ball!" Ninja throwing a fire ball at Ghoulian just as he was getting back up.
"Alrighty then," June twirled the ninja staff she was borrowing, using it to whack away the tentacles as she advanced on Ghoulian. Which she found rather pointless since the tentacles would have missed her regardless.
Ghoulian tried his best to attack the two heroes but something always got in his way. Like when he was about to punch the Ninja, one of the Ninja's bees flew into his eye causing him to flinch. Giving the Ninja the opening he needed to punch Ghoulian in the stomach instead. Then when Ghoulian tried to blast June with his energy breath, which she successfully dodged. The beam struck the ground triggering a geyser eruption that splashed water up in Ghoulian's face. Ghoulian roared with frustration trying to wipe his face as the two heroes continued to wail on him.
"This isn't working," June said after doing a round house kick.
"How can you say that? Can you see all the hits we've been scoring? Ninja Haymaker." the Ninja gloated as he did a series of rapid punches on Ghoulian's chest. While that attack manage to knocked him back, it didn't knock him out.
"Yes but he haven't taken him down yet, and the powder won't last forever." June reminded him.
"Right, we need to hit him harder. If only I knew how to do that dragon punch." Ninja Pondered.
"You mean that one technique where you throw an energy dragon?" June asked remembering the move she did earlier.
"That's the one," Ninja confirmed.
"Alright just follow my moves," June instructed as she started doing a series of katas with the Ninja mimicking her moves.
"I'll get you for that!" Ghoulian swore as he unleashed another round of tentacle attacks. But as luck would have it, the movements of the kata allowed them to avoid getting hit by the tentacles without missing a step.
"NINJA DRAGON PUNCH!" both June and Ninja called out as they both threw a flaming energy dragon, the Ninja's was red and yellow while June's was pink and white, at Ghoulian. Ghoulian tried to dodge them but one of his legs got stuck on some bubble gum, resulting in him getting hit by both dragons. The sheer force of the duel attack sent Ghoulian falling on his back, and because of his spider anatomy he couldn't get back up right away. Seeing her chance, June ran up to the downed monster pulling out a magic wand and rammed it straight into Ghoulian's stomach. Activating the wand, June injected a huge amount of good magic into the giant monster causing him to vomit all the magic he stole from the other monsters of Orchid Bay forcing him back into his human form. In addition it also dispelled the stank on his army causing them to revert back to monsters as well.
"Hey were did those guys go?" a LARPer asked seeing as how the demon army just disappeared under a strange fog. Of course being monsters meant that once again they were being shielded from human eyes by the veil.
"The Demon King has been defeated," another declared pointing at the last place anyone saw Ghoulian.
"He must have taken his army back with him to the underworld," another cheered.
"Then victory is ours!" Brock Octane cheered returning with his make up artist still working to cover his shiner.
"VICTORY! VICTORY! VICTORY!" all the LARPers chanted in celebration.
A few feet away from the festivities, the Ninja smoke bombed away along with his friends and Ghoulian. Once safe at a remote area, he removed his mask turning back to Randy, while June collapse from exhaustion. The two were sharing a friendly laugh together, proud of the fact that they succeeded beyond all odds. "Well you did it," Monroe praised.
"Yeah but now what are we going to do with him?" June asked directing at Ghoulian's unconscious body.
"I have a few ideas, but I still say we should banish him," Monroe suggested.
"No I need him to bring Ghoulian I mean the real Julian back," Randy insisted.
Monroe was about to object but June shook her head. "Alright, I suppose I can give you a book of dark magic. It may help you, but at the cost of your soul." Monroe warned complete with a flashlight effects.
"Wow dramatic much," Randy criticized.
"Tell me about it," June agreed.
"Ah man did we miss all the fun?" Ray-Ray complained as he ran up to his sister.
"Ray-Ray." June smiled, happy to see her brother.
"Ray-Ray where's Howard?" Randy asked.
"Over here," Howard huffed as he struggled to walk over to them. "Do you have any idea of how far it is from here to the game center?"
"I don't know about half a mile?" June figured.
"Maybe, but there's not a single snack machine in between!" Howard complained.
"We had to go back so that he could buy some choco-chips." Ray-Ray griped, blaming that for the reason they missed the most epic fight to happen in a long time.
"And I still say totally worth it," Howard now stuffing his face with snacks. "Oh hey you beat Ghoulian." Howard just now noticing Ghoulian on the ground.
"Come on I'll tell you all about it," June promised as she helped Randy lift up Ghoulian. As the heroes carried their prisoner back to the house, June and Randy recounted every detail of the battle.
