Hey everybody! I can't believe I'm past 30 reviews! And on chapter "11" on top of it! As promised, here's the final part of "The Siege On Nomicon" arc. It was fun writing this and I hope you enjoyed as much reading it.

A fated battle between two similar rivals strikes down.

Chapter ten: The siege on nomicon city- part IV

War raged across the nomicon dimension; locked on combat, both the Yokai serving Max and the ninjas allied with the Yokai rebels crossed swords, claws and tentacles with each other. Howard was doing well burning down the ground Yokai, but was having quite a hard time thanks to the archers and the enemy's Ryujin dragons. As one of them flew towards him with his razor sharp tail ready to strike, but Howard took out his cleaver sword and with a fire slash he sliced the dragon in half, causing it to explode in shadows, to Howard's surprise, the same thing happened with all the enemies in Max's Yokai army. "Weird…" but his train of thoughts was cut thin as a cloud of magical arrows was shot at him from the enemy's reinforcements on the Flying Nomicon city. Howard sent out as many razor Tengu feathers as he could to counter the arrows and blocked those which fell on him using his wings, but the Tengu Shogun could only block about 90% of the giant cloud, the other 10% fell down on the battlefield, killing many of the Yokai rebels and some of the ninjas, but claiming the lives of the enemy's troops as well "Those bastards! They're willing to sacrifice their own members as well!?" said Howard. Enraged, the mighty Tengu Shogun made a titanic fireball using quite a bit of his energy, and sent it towards the archers, burning them all and creating a mixed cloud of smoke and shadows. "You better end this fast, Cunningham".


Meanwhile, Randy and Johan were riding on Drake, who swiftly and quickly dodged the enemy's attacks, long-ranged and short-ranged, while getting some small backup from both the ninjas on his back. As they breached the gates of the Japanese castle in the middle of the floating city, they were greeted by two Kongō-Yasha myō-ō who were serving as the guards of the palace. "Go, I'll take care of these monsters myself" said Drake as the two ninjas stepped down from his bike and the Ryujin straightened upwards, looking really intimidating "WYou better not die here, ye sea rat!" said Johan running away with Randy while waving his scimitar in the air as a sign of greeting "Heh, you can't possibly think the mighty Drake will perish here" he said to himself as he breathed fire at the two multi limbed giants. Randy and Johan ran until they reached a room that seemed like a mix between a coliseum and an opera hall, with a large pool in the middle of its arena "this is the discussion room" explained Johan "the place where all the ninjas joined in and discussed the current ninja's state, as well as giving him the necessary lessons in order for him to become the ninja, and from three years ago and up until today, the current ninja was you" he said to the amused Randy "Quite a piece of architecture, right? Or should I say, mind?" said Max as he appeared on the main terrace. He looked rather strange to Randy; the right half of his body was mechanic as he expected, but the other half resembled something that reminded Randy of the Halloween-ja suit, with the exception of his arms, which were switched. He was wearing a green hoodie with pieces of his violet-white hair showing, an orange scarf with two shredded edges was hanging from his throat and went back to his back and he wore something that looked like a Japanese demon mouth mask. By his side, was Prime ninja, chained with what seemed like shadow-chains and looked hypnotized "Prime ninja!" called Randy to him, but without an answer "Too bad, Randy, I'm afraid he's not in the mood to talk" said Max with an evil giggle.

"Max, or should I say: NomiRandy? You better get off that place before I-!"

"Wait, wait, WAIT! NOMIRANDY!? What the heck!?"

"Why are you so surprised? I told you it's someone you knew that looked similar to you"

"Yeah, but you said his name was Max! You didn't say a thing about NomiRandy!" said Randy, too mad to remember Max was there, watching them "What? There's other Max?" asked Johan, confused "Let me explain, since you both seem confused as hell" said Max as his shadow extended toward Randy and Johan without them noticing and grabbed them both "You're right, I am 'NomiRandy' (Seriously, what lame name), but I'm also Max, or rather, he's a part of me" He said, squeezing Johan even harder as he struggled "You see, when that foolish creature known as the Halloween-ja suit let his curiosity take over and released me, I consumed him and with the power that I gained, I broke free from my special jail. Then, trying to figure a way out, I met your clone Max, and absorbed him as well. His intelligence and advanced tech was more than enough to allow me to break into the Nomicon's Yokai jail and release them, as well as making a path with them and bounding their souls with mine, with every Yokai that dies in the battlefield, I grow stronger. It was fun playing games" he said while squeezing his shadows with the intent of killing them both.

"Nice try, but your shadows can't touch light!" Said Randy as he entered ninja rage mode and evaporated the chains of both him and Johan, as well as Prime Ninja's as Max lost focus for a second. In an instant, Prime ninja performed a front flip and joined the other two ninjas "Glad you're in the mood for combat, first" said Randy while feeling pretty confident now that he had the strongest ninja with him "don't get cocky, kid. Remember, this guy had the power to escape the Nomicon and now he is much stronger than before…" he said while looking at Max who just stood there and laughed at their pathetic struggles against him "Yeah, I was planning on asking you, what the hell is he…?"

"Remember that time when I tried to teach you a lesson about balance and listening to yourself?" He asked.

"Yeah…?"

"Well, in order to teach you, I made Max (or NomiRandy) out of your essence and this dimension's as well. I created the bad version of you using all of your negative emotions, but lacking any trace of positive feelings, he evolved into something else, something evil, and as you dropped him back into the Nomicon, I personally sealed him to prevent him from going back outside and cause trouble, but now he's free once again and super powered with Max's and the Halloween-ja suits essences as well!"

"Quite a background story, eh?" said Max as he extended his arm towards the trio and many shadow arms and wolves extended towards them. The three ninjas leaped in different directions, doing their best evading the shadow attacks that bounced from the walls, roofs and floor "Hah! Nice try, but your little shadows have nothing on us!" said Randy, as he burned a wave of shadow hands with a fireball "Do you really think that this is the extent of my powers?" said Max as he vanished into his own shadow and emerged from Randy's. A jet stream emerged from his shoulder and Max was about to deliver him an incredibly powerful punch from behind, if it wasn't for Johan and Prime ninja, who took the hit for him and were sent to the other side of the room. "No!" he said as he watched his two friends crash into a wall and get smashed by gravel "Good, now it's only you and me, and I have quite the grudge to settle with you" he said with a pair of glowing red eyes.

Randy activated his ninja rage to its full power and charged forwards, Max did as well and they both clashed in a blast of shadows and fire. Randy sent multiple fire kicks and blasts, and Max evaded him by shadow-stepping through different places in the room, Max sent a giant, concentrated shadow fist towards Randy and punched him into a support pillar. Randy's outfit disassembled around the mouth and he sent a huge breath of fire against him, hitting him hardly "give up, it's over" said Randy as he stood above the burnt Max, only to meet his grin "What?" he asked, and the entire room was flooded with a sea of shadows "The last one of my pathetic subordinates died, huh?" said Max as Howard celebrated with the ninjas and the rebel Yokais as he stood above the giant Ryujin he decapitated down himself "Never mind, I'll just have to destroy them all myself!" Randy was chocking from all the liquid shadows that were surrounding him and even entering his mouth, eyes and nostrils. Max, who didn't seem to get affected by it at all, was walking towards Randy slowly as he spoke: "You were quite the powerful rival, I'll give you that. You and your friends were quite the bother but now I will absorb you. Enjoy watching your friends die by my hands as a part of me!" and by that, he released an insane laugh.

Randy couldn't bear the thought of all the fighting done for nothing, he couldn't bear the thought of more of his friends and loved ones dying because of his being powerless and incapable as the ninja, no… He couldn't accept it, and he will do anything he can to make sure he saves everyone this time!

Suddenly, a surge of energy passed through Randy, red vein-like stripes spread across his suit, his eyes turned red and he felt more powerful than ever. With a flash of red light, Randy destroyed the sea of shadows and Max was blown away by the shockwave. He tried to attack him with shadows but they all faded away as they reached his powerful red aura. From the distance, Johan and Prime Ninja emerged from the gravel and watched Randy's new power "Wow!" exclaimed an astonished Johan with shiny eyes. Prime ninja, on the other hand, was shocked. "Impossible…" he said with eyes wide open in fear. "No! get away from me!" he said "Max, it's time you pay for your crimes" said Randy as he held him by his throat, pushed him against the wall and focused his energy on his fist "Nooo…!" yelled Max as Randy punched him with a punch so strong, that he destroyed the wall and caused him to explode into shadows. "It's over" he said with relief. "Indeed it is, mate. Good job!" said Johan from behind his back "Johan! Prime ninja! You are alive!" said Randy, and Prime ninja held him by his arm "Randy! Listen to me, whatever happens to you, don't you use that power EVER AGAIN! You heard me!?" "Uhhh… sure" said the confused Randy as he let him down. Suddenly, the entire city began to shake "We gotta get tha hell outta here!" said Johan too shaken to remember to forget his sailor accent "Let's go!" said Randy and they all began to ran down the halls, evading giant falling boulders and pillars "Drake!" yelled Randy as the Ryujin who stood above the guards' corpses dashed towards them and they all flew from the city.

Back on land, the three ninjas and the dragon reunited with the rest and they all watched as the city slowly descended into the valley "Nomicon city has fallen…" said Johan "What are you going to do now?" asked Howard as a minimized version of Bruce Beek stood on his shoulder "Simply, we will rebuild the city" said Prime Ninja as he turned to Mike and the other Yokai "As well as establish an alliance with all the other residents of this world"

"That's more like it!" said Mike with crossed arms as all the Yokai behind him burst in laugh "Great! I have had many ideas for decades about how to redesign the city! We'll add a generator near the river, a shopping center near the mountains and hmm hm hhhmmm…" said the enthusiastic Ninja Viceroy before his mouth was shout by Sarah and he eventually gave up. Everyone laughed and they had a feast before opening a portal and departing "It was great, meeting you Randy" said Johan "You too, but what about Helena?" he asked to Johan, who seemed to be let down and seeing this made to Randy want to punch himself "since her mother is gone I'll take care of her. Hopefully one day she'll forgive me for what I've done…" Randy rested a hand on his shoulder and said: "Don't worry, I'm sure she will" Johan smiled, shaked his hand and said: "thanks, brother". On the other side, Howard was discussing with Mike "…so how did you confuse my ridiculous disguise with your cousin?" Mike sighed and showed him a picture of his cousin, who to Howard's shock, seemed incredibly identical to Howard disguised as a Tanuki "Whoa" said Howard with his jaw open "The ironic thing is that when we first met, I actually thought he was a disguised human for a moment" said Mike as he hugged Howard, who once again felt disturbed by the feeling of his balls touching him. After a few more goodbyes, the heroes with their new birdy partner left the nomicon Dimension and fell into Howard's room.

"Shit! My parents are going to kill me for disappearing all this time!" said Randy, who suddenly realized they were in the Nomicon world for quite a long time now "Mine too!" said a desperate Howard 'Actually-' Bruce Beek started talking inside their minds until they were interrupted by the being slam opened "Howard! Today's your turn to throw the trash!" Said and angry Heidi, who was studying for her psychometric.

"Seriously!? That's what I get after disappearing for weeks!?" said an angry Howard.

"Weeks? What are you talking about, you weirdo? You and Rando were closed in your room for about half an hour" said Heidi as she closed the door behind her and went back to her room. "Half an hour!? But HOW!?" demanded a shocked Randy 'as I was about to say, time runs differently between dimensions, while two weeks passed in the Nomicon's Dimension, only half an hour passed in your dimension'. "Cool!" said both Randy and Howard as they realized they still had the weekend off and resumed their videogames.


A shadow from the Nomicon crawled out and went all the way to a dark alley, where it reformed as Max "Hahaha! Nice try, ninja! But you'll need more than that to take ME down, the moment of my revenge will come!" Said Max, before being grabbed by a robotic hand and slammed into a brick wall "What!?" he said as he tried to return into shadow from, but a weird device connected to the metallic arm of none other but Hannibal McFist sucked out his dark energy. "The moment of revenge will come, but it won't be YOUR revenge. Viceroy! Bring the blocker!" he said as Viceroy took out a weird device and he injected it into his chest. Max's eyes began to glow yellow and he himself stopped struggling "No… it will be MINE!" said Hannibal as the now zombie-like Max bowed in front of his new master.

Another one bites the dust. What is McFist plotting? And can Randy stop him before it's too late? You'll find out soon. Now I'll take a little break, cuz I really forced myself in bringing you all of these chapters so fast. Until the next time, bye!

-I'm very sorry for the re-postings, but I was just fixing some chapters right now, so yeah, sorry
