Randy opened the ancient book of ninja wisdom and was quickly sucked into it. Randy flew through several drawings of monsters and ancient warriors and eventually landed in the middle of the Shadow Warrior's forest.
Randy looked around as he felt a pair of eyes looking at him from the shadows of the trees.
"Rosalyn, I know you're there." said Randy as Rosalyn slowly emerged from the shadows.
"It seems that you need my assistance. What is it that you need?" asked Rosalyn smiling as she drew closer to Randy.
"We've recovered the Necronomicon, but we need to get it to undo the mess that McFist started." said Randy
Rosalyn tapped her chin in thought. Rosalyn was deep in thought, not because she couldn't translate it but because she needed the book in her hands.
"I understand your problem. I can translate the book and find the correct incantation. However, there is the small issue that I am currently without a physical body, which I need in order for the evil book not to consume me." explained Rosalyn
"Then you can borrow my body, given that you return it afterwards." offered Randy
Rosalyn chuckled a bit as she then hugged Randy in teasing manner.
"Oh Randy, thank you for your offering. You certainly are a prime example of a young warrior and every woman would be happy to have your body." said Rosalyn as she felt around Randy's arm.
"Oh, um, thanks." said Randy staggeringly with a blush.
"But you'll need your body to face off against the hoards of darkness that'll be attacked to the Necronomicon. Besides I need a body that has the right kind of equipment. If you get my meaning." said Rosalyn letting go of Randy.
Back outside the Ninjanomicon everyone was waiting for Randy to come out, but Heidi was still wrapping her mind around it.
"How long does this usually take?" asked Heidi
"Depends from time to time, but he will get out in a bit." said Gothetta
"Just don't look at the book and everything will be fine." said Howard as he looked out the window.
Heidi out of curiosity moved Randy's head and peered into the Ninjanomicon. Shortly afterwards she got sucked inside it as well and then fell over.
"She looked into the book didn't she?" asked Howard
"Yep." responded Phanty
"Dang it." said Howard tiered.
Heidi plummeted to the bottom of the ancient book of ninja knowledge, right where Randy and Rosalyn were talking.
"Ok, I'll go talk to Gothetta or Lady Kryptina and see if they are alright with it." said Randy right before Heidi dropped down behind him.
Both Randy and Rosalyn turned around to see Heidi groaning in pain.
"Or, there is always the chance that someone will fall from the sky and fix all our problems." said Rosalyn
Randy helped Heidi up and she soon began to scream. Heidi frantically began looking side to side as she sprang to her feet. Heidi quickly got behind Randy and began pointing around in fear.
"Where am I?! What is this place?! Who is she?!" screamed Heidi pointing at Rosalyn.
"Well in that order. You are inside the Ninjanomicon, the ancient book of ninja where I learn and train to become a ninja. And last but not least, she is Rosalyn a vampire spirit who is going to help us fix this mess." said Randy
"Ms. Weinerman, I presume? A pleasure." said Rosalyn with Heidi nodding.
Heidi got a good showing Rosalyn's fangs causing her to hide behind Randy.
"Heidi. Since when do vampires live in a ninja book?" asked Heidi.
"I recently moved here from my previous living accommodations. You know, it is quite funny that you would drop in at this very moment." said Rosalyn.
"Why is that?" asked Heidi being weary of Rosalyn's intentions.
"Heidi, Rosalyn can translate the Necronomicon. That means that she can find the passage that can send all the skeletons and demons back to wherever they came from. But she needs a host body, because she is technically a ghost." explained Randy
"And then you just dropped by." added Rosalyn
"You want to borrow my body?" asked Heidi shaking.
"I promise to give it back. Look honey, I know you have no reason to trust me and I'm aware that you don't fully trust vampires given past experiences but you must help us. Randy will need his body to fight once the army of darkness picks up on the book. But it is up to you." said Rosalyn
Heidi stayed silent trying to figure out what to do. If what she said was true then they would need Randy to be in a full on fighting mode. But what could ensure her that Rosalyn was going to give her back her body.
"How do I know you'll keep your end of the bargain?" asked Randy
"How about this? After the army is defeated, Randy, you will personally bring me back here, and then you'll take Heidi out of here. Does that sound good?" asked Rosalyn
"Fine. Just no funny business with my body." said Heidi with a sigh
Randy was taken by surprise. He did not expect Heidi to agree so easily to Rosalyn's plan.
"Are you sure? This isn't like borrowing a dress or a pair of shoes." said Rosalyn
"You said it yourself, time is of the essence. The faster you stop the skeletons the faster I get my body back, and this becomes a memory. So let's do it." said Heidi
Randy looked at Heidi and understood that she was not backing down from this decision. That was one of the few things that Randy admired of Heidi, not only sticking to her decisions but also being stubborn when she knew things had to happen.
"Alright, I'll be back as soon as I can. Ready Rosalyn?" asked Randy as he held out his arm to Rosalyn.
Rosalyn wrapped her arm around Randy's arm.
"Lead the way young man." said Rosalyn as they both flew out of the book.
A second later Randy got up from the floor and took a deep breath.
Everyone turned to face Randy pulled out his mask.
"Randy, are you alright?" asked Gothetta going to Randy's side
"I'm alright. Don't worry." said Randy giving Gothetta a kiss on the cheek.
"What happened?" asked Howard
"Rosalyn is going to help us, but we kinda made a deal with her." said Randy as 'Heidi' got back up.
"Oh, I've missed this." said Rosalyn through Heidi's body as she pulled her hair back. "You never miss a physical body so much until you no longer have one."
"Wait, is she?" asked Gothetta pointing at Heidi.
"Yeah." responded Randy
"And Heidi was alright with this?" asked Gothetta
"After we explained the situation to her, she was." said Rosalyn cracking her fingers.
"Wow, now this is getting creepy." said Phantasma
"Wait, are you Rosalyn Eremia? The Dark Scholar?" asked Lady Kryptina
"It has been a long time since anyone has called me that. But yes, that would be me. I would say in the flesh but that's not the case." said Rosalyn
"Weren't you supposedly imprisoned for your crime?" asked Lady Kryptina
"Wait, what?!" asked Randy
"How do you think my spirit became entrapped in the book. Now let's get this monster bash started." said Rosalyn as Gothetta handed her the Necronomicon.
Rosalyn went to the table and then turned towards Randy and the rest of the group.
"Listen up everyone, as soon as I start the hoards of the dead will be drawn to us. I will need you to give me time to find the incantation and cast it. Do you think you can do that?" asked Rosalyn
Randy put on the ninja mask and was quickly wrapped on his suit. Howard loaded up his laser gun. And Phanty pulled out a baseball bat. The vampire students began to boarder up the windows and the doors, only leaving some open spaces for Howard to fire back.
"I think we can manage." said Phanty floating down to the group.
"Just asking. Time to begin." said Rosalyn
Rosalyn turned back to the book and opened it. Once the book was open there was a pulse that went through the entire city.
On another part of Norrisville, the army of Darkness was causing havoc only to stop once they felt the pulse pass them.
Deadite Nomi-Randy stopped himself mid-swing and then turned to the source of the pulse.
"My lord. We've all felt the attraction of the book." said one of the skeleton soldiers.
"What are you waiting for then? Lead me to it!" ordered the Deadite.
The skeletons and zombies turned towards the source of the pulse and began chasing it.
Deadite Nomi-Randy reeled his dark zombie horse and began galloping towards the Necronomicon.
"Move forwar-" began the Deadite only for his jaw to come loose.
Deadite Nomi-Randy put it back on.
"Move forwar-" tried Deadite Nomi-Randy only to have the same result occur.
With a grunt Deadite Nomi-Randy put his jaw back in place.
"Just go." said Deadite Nomi-Randy with an angry pout.
Back in the mansion, Randy stood on the top of the roof with his sword drawn. Far in the distance he could see the army of skeletons making their way towards him and the mansion.
"I hope that Rosalyn gets that incantation quickly." said Randy
Just then the army of skeletons got within shooting distance of Howard.
"Now!" called out Randy
Howard opened one of the windows and opened fire with highest busting laser. The laser struck some of the skeletons causing them to explode with a screech.
"Take that you undead goons!" called out Howard getting ready for another shot.
Just then some of the skeletons pulled out their bows and arrows. They pulled back on their strings and let the arrows fly towards the house.
Randy jumped from the roof to the street avoiding and blocking the arrows with his sword and Howard ducked for protection.
"You still alive Howard?" asked Randy from the street
"Yeah, what do you think!" called out Howard from the mansion.
Randy turned to face the remaining skeletal warriors and quickly spotted his Deadite doppelgänger chuckling in the back.
Randy narrowed his eyes and gripped his sword with a warrior's intent. Just then Randy was surrounded by robo-apes, which was something that he didn't expect.
"Ninja, you are to come with us." ordered the leader ape.
"Um, I'm kinda busy." said Randy as he pointed to the army of skeletons behind them.
The robot-apes turned around and noticed the army.
The Army of Darkness charged at Randy and robo-apes with weapons drawn and out for blood. Randy jumped over the robo-apes and began to fight off the skeletal army.
The robo-apes began fighting against the army of darkness smashing and bashing them, but the army quickly began to overwhelm them.
Howard got back to shooting at the army with his laser gun but they were moving around so much that he couldn't hit them as often. Phanty joined in the fight by swinging her baseball bat as she flew over the skeletons.
Randy ducked under one of the sword swings and then he sliced the skeletal warrior in half. He then charged at the next undead pile of bones and air kicked it in the face. Randy spun around just in time to only be graced by an enemy spear. Randy grabbed hold of the spear and snapped it with the butt of his sword.
Randy was about to attack when suddenly the army of skeletons began to morph, giving them faces of people. Randy stepped back fearing that he might hurt any of them. They began to claw at Randy, pulling him back and beating him with their bony fists. Randy managed to see how the skeletons were slowly making their way towards the mansion. Randy then heard Deadite Nomi-Randy laughing.
"The book shall be mine." cheered Deadite Nomi-Randy.
Randy felt a tug of despair as he looked into the dead eyes of the army of darkness. Just then when he looked deep into their eyes Randy saw his own reflection which quickly turned into the one of his master.
"Do not be afraid. We forge our own destiny." said the reflection of the First Ninja.
With those words echoing in his mind, Randy called upon his fiery spirit. His suit turned red and bursted with a flare of power. Randy jumped high with the Ninja Rage mode at full throttle. Randy's flames engulfed his sword as Randy proceeded to slice the army of darkness into ribbons.
Randy slashed and chopped the skeletons, no longer being affected by their illusions. Randy diagonally sliced one of the skeletons causing it to shriek in pain. Randy punched one of the skeletons square of in the face and then kicked another skeleton warrior in the chest.
The army was easily being over taken by Randy causing Deadite Nomi-Randy to flinch as he felt every attack.
Back inside the mansion Rosalyn had already gone through half of the Necronomicon but the constant explosions were not making things any easier.
"Can't you translate faster?" asked Gothetta as she pushed the door shut.
"I'm a bit rusty and the explosions are not making it easy. Also patience is a virtue." said Rosalyn as she turned the page.
"Not now it isn't." said Phanty as she bashed another skull with her baseball bat.
Rosalyn turned another page as she kept on translating the pages of the book. She turned another page and there she found the passage that she was looking for.
"Found it!" said Rosalyn
"Then start translating!" said Lady Kryptina
Rosalyn began her translation.
Back outside the fight was turning in the favor of Randy and his allies. Countless charred remains of the skeletal warriors laid on the street and the grounds of the mansion.
Randy lifted a skeleton warrior over his head and then dropped it over his knee shattering its spine.
"That's the last of 'em." said Randy before a loud horse neigh.
Randy turned to see Deadite Nomi-Randy charging at him with his undead horse and large saber. Randy rolled to the side avoiding the slice from his enemy.
The Deadite turned his horse and charged one more time with a haunting hiss. Deadite Nomi-Randy lifted his blade ready to attack once more.
Randy ran up to his evil twin with his sword drawn. Just as he was inches from the undead horse, Randy jumped over it. Randy turned his body as the right opening showed itself and landed a rolling kick on Deadite Nomi-Randy's face. The Deadite fell from the horse but rolled back to his feet and held up his orochi sword.
"Time for you to die." said Deadite Nomi-Randy
"Let's dance freak." said Randy charging at his evil twin.
Randy and the deadite clashed swords sending sparks flying. Both warriors clashed over and over again, their swords not willing to give an inch to each other.
Randy stepped back to allow his opponent to leave himself open. Just as Randy was about to cut off his opponent's arm, Nomi-Randy blocked his sword with his own.
The Deadite Nomi-Randy got close to Randy and backhanded him in the face. Randy jumped up to the roof of the mansion while throwing his ninja razor disks. The Deadite blocked the disks with the length of his sword and then jumped after Randy.
Both Randy and Deadite Nomi-Randy landed on the rooftop. Randy rushed at the Deadite and clashed swords with him once more pushing him back. The Deadite spun around on his heels attempting to cut Randy in two, but Randy jumped back and skid to a halt.
Randy went on the attack once more, Randy ran with his sword by his side. Deadite Nomi-Randy charged at Randy once more. They both swung his swords at each other. Both blades clashed creating sparks. Randy continued on swinging his sword over and over again forcing the Deadite to block and parry the attacks. Randy thrusted his sword forward, but this allowed the Deadite to make his move.
Deadite Nomi-Randy rolled over Randy's back and snatched his scarf. Deadite Nomi-Randy kicked and then pulled Randy back with his scarf causing Randy to lose his footing.
Randy was barely able to dodge the deadite's attack. Randy ducked and moved underneath the sword swings but the corrupted Nomi-Randy kept pulling him back with his scarf. Randy spun around and swept his leg underneath the deadite's legs making him fall and let go of Randy's scarf.
Deadite Nomi-Randy grunted as he got back up only to be met with a punch to the face. Randy punched the deadite again and again, forcing it back to the edge of the roof. Before the undead manifestation could be thrown off the roof it pulled back and swung his sword at Randy forcing him back.
"Why can't you just die already?" asked Deadite Nomi-Randy with pieces of flesh coming off of his face.
Just before Randy could respond to the deadite's words, an incantation could be heard coming from the inside of the mansion.
"Kanda, Nosferatu, Mortis, Kanda." began the incantation
The Deadite Nomi-Randy began to shriek in pain as its flesh began to boil.
Randy saw this and pulled out the Kandarian dagger and prepared to strike at the undead creature.
"Kanda, Atum, Verada, Kanda, Mortis, Nos-feratos Allo Memnon Kanda." continued the incantation
All the remaining warriors and skeletal remains began to scream and shriek in pain. A white vapor smoke began to come out of the remains and began to circle around Deadite Nomi-Randy.
The Deadite Nomi-Randy was now nothing more than a walking burning skeleton with a black heart.
"Kanda Samonda Roba Areda, Gyes Ian Dy En-Zeen. Nos-Feratos Amen-non Ak-adeem! Gizrai! Kanda!" continued the incantation
Randy pierced the remaining heart with the ancient dagger. The foul demon of the ancient times shrieked in pain as a large dark portal appeared above it and swallowed him whole.
A large explosion resonated through the sky, knocking back Randy and shattering the windows of the mansion. Randy groaned on the roof as the night sky became clear and the evil disappeared.
Just then a bat and Phanty appeared above him.
"What the?" asked Randy
The bat transformed into Gothetta and she held his head with both hands.
"We really need to stop meeting like this." said Gothetta
"Yeah, people are gonna talk." said Randy
"Bah, let them. You are officially my favorite couple!" said Phanty
Howard then opened one of the openings to the roof with Rosalyn right behind him.
"Cunningham, you still alive?" asked Howard
Randy turned his head.
"What do you think?" asked Randy completely exhausted.
