No one's suggested any names for my fanfic series, so seriously people, if you have an idea, tell me, good, bad, REALLY bad, I'll take 'em all.
I do not own Grojband or Randy Cunningham.
Chapter 14
McFist's Office
Randy faced the robo-apes, waiting for one of them to make to first move. He was glad Corey had left because now he could focus all his attention on defeating McFist without having to worry about his friend.
One of the robots finally moved, launching itself at the Ninja with superhuman speed. Randy dodged it, bringing his sword down through the robots neck and severing the head as it flew past. He turned back toward the others just in time to see them reared up for attack as well.
"Hurry up and get him," the sorcerer yelled. Randy shot a glare at his immortal enemy, irritated that his figure was only an illusion and he couldn't defeat him right there and then. But Randy would rather have the sorcerer locked up than out, spreading havoc and chaos.
McFist, too, glared up at his business partner. "We're trying. Capture the Ninja!" The robo-apes obeyed their boss and all came at Randy at once.
Randy fought back as hard as he could slicing, punching, and kicking anything he could land a hit on. He fought as hard as he could, trying to at least bye some time for Corey to get Laney and Theresa out.
As the last robo-ape fell to the ground, Randy looked up into the eyes of his enemy. He was panting and wheezing, trying to get a decent breathe of air. The suit increased his fighting ability and stamina, but underneath he was still human and that human was running out of strength to keep fighting.
He laughed, stood up straight, trying to appear unphased, and said, "Is that all you got?" As soon as the word left his mouth he mentally slapped himself. Why did he have to say that?
And just as he feared, McFist gave him an evil smirk before pressing the intercom button on his desk and saying, "Send in all the others."
Randy waited expecting the door to open and reveal dozens of other robots, but a mechanical voice answered McFist through the intercom. "What about the prisoners?"
McFist rolled his eyes angrily. "Forget about them and come to my office to get the Ninja!"
Randy felt his emotions mix when the voice didn't respond. He was relieved that his friends wouldn't have to deal with any problems, but he was afraid he wouldn't make it past another army of robots. He was tired and his muscles were screaming in agony. It wasn't likely that he would make it out of the office.
But even if Randy was scared, he excepted his fate. He had excepted it the day he became the Ninja and he knew there was no going back now. It was the job of the Ninja to protect the people of Norrisville, even if some of the people he was protecting weren't even from Norrisville.
The door slammed open and Randy instantly took a fighting stance, facing to robots. They stormed in and Randy didn't stand a chance. Before he could even land the first blow, three robo-apes had him pinned to the ground and one was reaching toward his head, about to grab the Ninja mask.
Randy squirmed around trying to escape, but the more he struggled, the more robo-apes came and held him down. He barely registered McFist make his way through he crowd of of metal to have a front row seat to the Ninja's unveiling.
Randy shut his eyes tight and prayed that something would happen to stop the robot from taking off the mask. But no miracle came. He felt the fabric of the mask being lifted off of his face and he could see the light from the suit retracting back into the mask through his eyelids.
He heard a horrible laugh opened his eyes to glare up at a chuckling McFist. "So this is the face of my enemy," he said instructing his robots to let Randy go except for two of them. Randy stood up keeping his head down in an attempt to keep his identity a secret from the sorcerer, at least.
"Alright," McFist said once he was done laughing, "kill him." Randy's eyes widened and he glanced up behind his messy hair to see a robo-ape heading toward him with his hand replaced with a blade. He started to panic as it came closer.
When to robot was only about three feet away, Randy finally came up with a plan in his head. The two robo-apes were only holding onto his arms, leaving his legs free to do whatever. He smirked and jump/ kicked as high as he could, knocking the head of the robo-ape with blade clean off.
As he kept flying through the air, he realized that he was actually performing a front-flip. His smirk only grew as he wrapped his arms around the robot arms holding him, tearing them off when he finally landed back on his feet.
He kept his head down while he headed for McFist's desk, forming a better plan as he went. He jumped on the desk and waited for the robo-apes to surround the desk. He picked out the one that was holding his mask and counted down in his head.
"3...2...1...NOW!"
He leapt off the desk and landed on one of the robo-apes heads. He balanced himself before hopping to the next one, just barely missing the hands that reached up to grab him.
"Come on," he thought and internally jumped for joy when the robot holding his mask reached up to grab him, as well. It held up both hands, as if forgetting he was holding the 800 year old mask.
Randy dodged the hands and finally he landed on the head of the robo-ape and snatched his mask out of its hand as he jumped to the next one.
He continued robot-hopping until he got to the edge of the group. He jumped high in the air and slipped the Ninja mask back on over his head. The red light enveloped him and the black and red ribbons crawled down his body, until he was, once again, the Ninja.
He landed on the ground and didn't even look back before taking off toward the stairs. He figured it was a bad idea to go to the elevator so he found the door to the stairs and ducked inside, immediately running down them, taking three at a time.
After three floors, he chanced a glance up and saw robo-apes were still following him, but they were falling behind. Randy took out a smoke-bomb and threw it behind him, hoping to confuse the robots or at least delay them.
He spotted an air vent ten feet above the ground and grabbed the metal plate on the front with his 'ninja scarf'. He pulled it off and jumped inside, pulling his pulling the metal with him and covering up the square hole with it again.
He lied down as flat as he could and watched as the smoke dissipated. He almost laughed at the confused looks the robo-apes were giving each other, but he stopped himself just as McFist came down the stairwell, screaming at his robots.
"Where is he?" One of the robo-apes looked at him and shrugged it's metal shoulders, only to have it's head caved in by McFist's metal arm. "Find him and those other teens and bring them back to my office to be disposed of!"
McFist walked off and the robots slip, some following their boss and the others continued down the stairs. Randy remained as silent as possible until all the robots were gone.
He turned himself around and crawled through the vent. He knew the vent was almost as dangerous, if not more so, than the rest of the building, but he didn't care at the moment. All he knew was that he had to find his friends and get them out before McFist found them.
He crawled until he found the first air duct, right above a hallway. He kicked it out and jumped down landing gracefully on the tiled floor. He heard a squeak behind him and he swiftly turned around to come face to face with Corey, Theresa, and Laney.
"Ninja," Theresa said, letting her smile seep into her voice. Corey and Laney both sighed in relief and Randy smiled, glad that he had an amazing stroke of luck, for once.
"We need to get out of here," he said seriously, grabbing Theresa by the arm and pulling her with him as he ran. Corey and Laney followed him without question.
"So what happened after you left the office," Randy asked Corey.
Corey stared forward as they ran and replied, "I went back to the cell block and found the girls. I got them out and we ran, but when we got to the elevator, a bunch of robots came out. I thought we were done for, but then they just took off. We went up the elevator, but we ended up on the wrong floor and when we tried to get back down to the ground floor the elevator wouldn't work." Corey stopped as they checked around a corner. "What about you?"
Randy bit his lip and glanced at his three friends. Theresa didn't know about the Ninja thing so it was hard to explain it to her and Randy didn't want his friends to worry more than they already were.
"Ninja," Laney said, concern in her eyes, "what happened?"
Randy sighed and finally said, "McFist found out my identity." Corey's eyes widened in shock and Laney's hands came up to cover her mouth. He continued, "But that's the least of our worries right now. We have to find a way out of her fast or else we're toast."
I mean it people! Let me know about your ideas for the series name.
