"I saw this on Gravity Falls once," I said. I then put my feet on the metal bars behind me holding my chains to my hands. I pushed against the metal and the chains broke with a loud snap.

My friends looked at me with shock. Randy and Howard's expressions showed that they were expecting that to happen. I got up onto my feet and Randy did the same thing as i did. My friends then did the same and soon Howard did too, with a little bit of hesitation.

"Now how are we gonna get out of this cage?" Abby asked.

"I have no idea," I admitted.

"Of course," Howard whispered to himself.

"Hey, don't say that. I'm sure we'll find a way," I said. I'll be honest, I didn't remember Howard being quite so moody in the series. I should have expected that response from him.

I saw Shayla look over to the other Norrisville citizens who were out cold in the same cage as us. "Maybe they can help us," she said. We all looked over to them but they didn't seem too willing to help. Especially since they're knocked out.

"I don't think they can help us when they're unconscious," Randy pointed out.

"Maybe they have something on them that could help," Lea suggested.

"Okay, I am not gonna search through every person's belongings until I can find something that could possibly DESTROY METAL!" Howard yelled getting frustrated. I admitted, he did have a point. I don't think anyone just carries around some sort of metal cutter-thingy.

"I wish Tpoh were here," I said to myself.

"What?" Abby asked.

"Sorry, Avatar refrence," I shrugged sheepishly. Before any more "fun" conversations could go on we heard a loud roar. It sounded familiar but not in an animal way. In more of a villainous cry sort of way.

"What the juice?" Randy asked what I was thinking.

"That sounded like the sorcerer. But why would he be in danger? The ninja's the only one who can stop him," I said and then realized something. "Oh my ninja! Randy, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" I exclaimed.

"Depends, are you thinking about how this same situation reminds you of a weird moment in a video game you played three years ago?" Randy asked.

"What? No. How do you...never mind. I think one of the past ninjas are helping you!" I replied kinda surprised at Randy's response.

"Who do you think it could be?" Randy questioned. I shrugged as a response. I had no idea.

We all waited for about 30 seconds thinking about it, and by we I mean Randy, Howard, and I. The only things my friends knew about the show were either what I had told them or what they had found out in the past couple days.

I then gasped, "Do you think it could be...?" I looked right at Randy.

"Maybe," Randy finished. We all stood in silence before Howard spoke up.

"Okay, what the juice are you two talking about?" He asked.

"Mac Antfee is the only ninja I can think about besides first ninja, who's trapped in the Nomicon, and Nomi, who isn't even confirmed to exist," I said/

"Nomi?" Everyone asked in unison.

"I'll explain later. For now, we gotta get free," I said and then thought of something, "Randy, can I see your phone?" I asked.

"Sure but I don't have-"

"Thanks," I cut Randy off as I snatched the phone from his hands. "It's time for everyone to meet momma bear," I smiled. I looked through Randy's contacts until I found one labeled 'mom'. Then I called her.

"Hello?"

"Hi, mom, it's...uh...Randy," I tried to do my best male voice I could.

"Hi, sweetie. Are you okay? Why aren't you home?"

"I'm trapped in a cage somewhere at Norrisville High. Some big meanie locked me here after knocking my friends and me out! I need your help!"

"I'm on my way," I heard her say stiffly. I knew she was angry and, knowing that moms were overprotective when needed, I knew she would be able to break us out of here.

"What the heck did you just do?" Abby asked.

"I got Randy's mom to come save us. Nothing is more powerful than momma bear," I smiled. Sure, not all moms are like that but Randy seemed like he grew up in a good enough household to assume his mom is like this.

Randy sighed and sat down. "What's the matter?" I asked, turning my attention towards him.

"I failed," Randy replied, his voice full of regret and sorrow.

"You're kidding me, right?" Howard asked.

"No. I'm not kidding, Howard. The sorcerer's free, the Nomicon's gone, and I destroyed the ninja suit. We're all doomed and it's all my fault!" Randy buried his head into his knees.

I looked over to my friends before awkwardly sitting next to Randy, "You haven't failed yet. There's still hope," I said and Randy sniffled before looking up to me. His eyes were glistening slightly.

"How can you be sure?" He asked.

"Someone once told me that hope comes from the ones you care about the most. Well, Howard's here and you're mom's coming. Those are just two people you care about," I said. I have no idea how I came up with that. I looked to Randy as he wiped his eyes before, unexpectingly, hugging me. My eyes widened and I had no idea what to do. The only other guy who had hugged me are my family. That's it. Yeah, I'm lonely. I awkwardly patted him on the back a couple times before he released himself from the hug, which I was still surprised about, and stood back up.

I stood up too and then heard a clang of metal chiming against the floor.

"What the juice?" I asked. We all looked out of our cage and saw someone who I assumed was Randy's mom.

She got out a bobby pin and picked the lock. We all got out and thanked her. Howard saw the door on the floor and looked at it with shock.

"Randy, your mom is so honking bruce."

"I know," Randy smiled. We all walked out of the room in awkward silence.

"So, Randy. I wanna talk to you about something," Randy's mom spoke up.

"What?" Randy asked.

"There's this interesting rumor going around about you being the Norrisville Ninja. I want the truth, young man, and I want it fast."

When I heard this I was shocked. I knew news traveled fast but this is ridiculous.

A/N: So yeah, late update. My only excuse is Christmas and my dad's birthday (which is on Christmas Eve)
