Randy was currently in the middle of a training session inside the Nomicon. It was a school day but the Nomicon wanted to review a training session that he hadn't done in 700 years, climbing a waterfall. While not an easy challenge, Randy always liked to push himself and The Nomicon always did just that. Randy was almost to the top when he shouted, "HA! This is an easy challenge, Master. You're going to have to do better than..." Before Randy finished his sentence, a fish fell from the top and hit him in the face. This caused him to fall into the water below. A rock platform rose up and he spat out the water. He sat up in a meditative position and said, "Well played, master. Well played. Note to self, don't get too cocky before completing the Nomicon's challenge." To prove his point, The Nomicon dropped over two dozen fish on his head. "Well, I should get going. My next class is going to start soon so I'll see you later." Randy jumped into the water and was taken out of the Nomicon.

Randy woke up in the bathroom and Howard was in the stall next to him. "Dude, how often do you have to go into that thing?" Howard asked. "Howard, I have to go into the Nomicon when he either tells me to, when I need advice, or when I need to train."

"When not ask a McQuestion?" Howard asked. "A Mcwhat?" Randy asked confused. "Allow me to explain thanks to my new McFist pad, I have the entire internet in my pocket," Howard told him proudly. "Howard, I hardly use the internet anyway, how is this helpful to me?" Randy asked confused. "Well, if you ask it anything, then it will have an answer. McFistpad go!" Howard said as he handed Randy the McFist pad. Randy set the Nomicon right by the toilet and looked at the McFist pad. "So, I just ask it anything?"

"Pretty much," Howard answered. Randy thought to himself for a minute. "Where can I find authentic Japanese sushi?" The Mcfist pad calculated for a minute and showed for Japanese sushi places. "Wow, this is pretty bruce." Randy and Howard left the stalls. Randy washed his hands then they left the bathroom. As they left, Bash went in the stall Randy was in. "All right, Mr. Grumpy, it's me against you and one of us is getting flushed. And this time it's not gonna be me." Bash proceeded to read his comic book but a red light stopped him along with a vibrating sound. "That ain't the funny sound I'm used to hearing." Bash looked over to where he heard the sound and saw the light and found the Nomicon. "An upside down 6? Hey, I've got that same number on the back of my jersey!" He said as he picked up the Nomicon.

"Wow. I'll admit Howard. This is really cool but this can't answer every question I have." Randy handed Howard back his McFist pad. "Yes, it can. The internet has the answer to everything. It even can show us where our lockers are," Randy rolled his eyes at Howard's logic. "It can't tell you who the Ninja is." Howard was about to object but stayed quiet. "Howard, I use the Nomicon to find my answers that device can't answer."

"Like what?" Randy smiled as he reached into his bag to get the Nomicon but it wasn't in there. "No. Nonononono! It's not in my backpack! It has to be in here! Oh no, it's not in here! I have to find it!" Howard wasn't that concerned since the Nomicon has taken the fun out of Randy a few times. "Why? We have that McFist pad. Who needs some dumb book?"

"Howard, that book was made by the elders of my clan 800 years ago at the cost of their lives. It has the knowledge of all of the Norisu Clan's techniques and secrets. It's too important to lose. I may be over 800 years old but that doesn't mean I know all the secrets of my ninja clan. I have to find it! To the bathroom!" Randy ran to the bathroom and Howard said, "I'll be here." And continued to play on his McFist pad.

Randy ran as fast as he could to get the Nomicon from the bathroom before anyone could take it. 'My master is going to kill me... or worst make me hold teacups for over 24 hours.' Randy was about to enter the bathroom but Bash came out the Nomicon in his hands. "Seriously! The son of my second worst enemy has my master!" Randy groaned. He took a deep breath. He calmly walked over to Bash while dodging the oncoming students trying to leave school. "Bash! Bash, what up, bro? Hey, that book you found in the bathroom? It's actually my mas... math, math book, and, um..."

"What book?" Bash asked. Randy saw that the Nomicon was not in his hands. Randy took a calming breath. "What did you do with it?!" He shouted as he jumped onto Bash and shook him. Bash shove Randy off of him and said, "Get off of me! I gave all my books to the homework-doing kid. The one what does everybody's homework." Randy got up, dusted himself off, walked to Bash, and said confused, "Homework-doing kid? Homework-doing kid. Bucky! To the library." Then Randy ran to the library passing by Howard in the process, who was playing on his McFist pad.

Randy arrived at the library and was panting since he was out of breath. He may be an 800-year-old ninja but that didn't mean he still got exhausted and losing his master, The Nomicon, one of the last things he got from his father was putting a lot of stress on him. "Oh, that book looked like it had non-school board approved ideas in it so I gave it to the principal." Randy groaned internally then shouted, "To the principal's office!" He ran to the principal's office while passing Howard, who was still playing on his McFist pad.

Randy arrived at the Slimovitz's office and saw him shredding many books. 'Oh, please tell me he didn't.' Randy thought to himself. "Oh, that book was too big for my Word-Gobbler, I gave it to Coach Green for flamethrower practice." Randy groaned internally again and facepalmed himself. 'Why is the 21st century filled with the craziest people?!' "To the gym!" Randy ran to the gym and passed Howard, who was still playing on his McFist pad.

Randy opened the gym door and all he saw was a flamethrower's fire. He fell to his knees in despair and shouted, "Nooooooo!" Suddenly, the Nomicon appeared in front of Randy's face and he said in disbelief, "Master? Is it really you?" Randy took the book and hugged it like he hadn't seen it in years. "McFist Pad suggested I check the Lost and Found. And look who I found," Howard told him. Randy stood and said, "Okay, I'll admit technology can be helpful... sometimes." Randy and Howard were about to leave but Coach Green came from behind and took the Nomicon from Randy. "Naughty book. I put you in the Lost and Found."

"Hey, my blinky buzzy book." Just a few seconds after Coach Green took the Nomicon, Bash came by and took the Nomicon and left school. Randy ran out the school as fast as he could but it was too late. Bash was already gone and he had the Nomicon. "Ah! My Master, the Ninja Nomicon, just got into McFist's limo. I'm going to get into so much trouble."

"You know what you gotta do now, right?" Howard asked. Randy nodded and said, "Go get the Nomicon!" As Randy said that, Howard said, "Go get some ice cream!" Randy looked at him in silence and it was a look Howard knew. "Right. You Nomicon, and me ice cream. Want me to get you something?" Randy gave him a look that said, 'Seriously?'. "Oh, right, right. It'll melt. You go. Go. I'll figure out this ice cream thing." Randy got his mask out, quickly transformed and chased after the limo. He jumped from rooftop to rooftop until he got under the car and waited for the perfect moment to get out.

Now that he was inside McFist industries, Randy knew that he had to be careful to not be caught. He had to wait for the perfect opportunity to get the Nomicon back without getting caught. Randy was on the ceiling following Bash and watching him closely. "Hey, monkey," Bash said as he passed a robo-ape. "My name's Frank," The robo-ape named Frank told him. "No. Your name's ooh ooh aah aah!" Bash said as he made monkey sounds. He laughed mockingly as he walked away. He passed another robo-ape and said, "What you got there, papers?" Bash forcefully shoved the papers out of his hands and laughed at him. "Not anymore."

Another robo-ape ape came out as Bash was walking and this one was wearing a wig. "Yo, Baldy! Your sock's untied." The robo-ape looked down which proved to be a mistake when he wig slid off and Bash laughed at him. "You ain't even wearing socks." Randy rolled his eyes in annoyance. "What a shoob. I remember when most boys his age were polite, kind, and respectful to authority. Course, not every generation is perfect and I have met kids worst than Bash but he definitely tops kids who are annoyingly rude."

In Viceroy's Lab, Viceroy was preparing something that would make him very happy. "Perfect." A nice cup of tea, Viceroy drank it happily until Bash came in shouting, "Hey, guy who works for McFist. I've been looking for you." As Bash was telling Viceroy what he wanted him to do, Randy was in the vents, he moved the vent cover that was above the two and the Nomicon. 'Okay, I have to wait for them to not be looking to get my master back.'

"So you want me to cover this beautiful antique book with blinkers and buzzers? Why?" Viceroy asked confused. "I'm gonna use it as a doorstop. I like the door open when I poop," Bash told him then he left Viceroy alone. "TMI, Bash. Too much ickiness. And I won't stand for it." As Viceroy was talking, Randy used this opportunity to lower himself and grab the Nomicon. Randy was just about to snatch it but Viceroy grabbed and left his lab to go to McFist's office. "That boy can't tell me what to do. I'm a world-class evil genius. I could atomize him. I could protonize him. I could tell his step-daddy. Yep, evil genius." Viceroy smiled smugly as the elevator went up to McFist's office with Randy following from the bottom of the elevator.

"Hannibal. A word?" Viceroy asked walking into the office. "Viceroy, I'm kind of in a meeting right now. Ooh, that's a nice-looking doorstop you've got there," McFist said admiring the Nomicon. As they were talking, Randy was high on the ceiling watching everything that was happening in silence. "Silence, you fools! There is a Ninja to be destroyed."

"The Sorcerer. No honkin' way!" Randy just stared at The Sorcerer in shock. Sure, he was over 800 years old but he has never seen The Sorcerer in real life besides the drawings the Nomicon showed him and what his father told him. "Yeah, Viceroy, focus on that," McFist told him. "I'm just here about the doorstop." The Sorcerer muttered to himself as he zoomed into the book that Viceroy was showing to McFist. "That's no doorstop."

"Oh, boy. I'm in trouble." The Sorcerer studied the Nomicon and instantly knew what it was. "That's the Ninja-Nomicon!"

"And there it is. I'm going to be in a lot of trouble once I get my master back." Viceroy and McFist were now confused. They had no idea what The Sorcerer was talking about. "Eh, What's he talking about?" Viceroy just shrugged in response. "It is the Ninja's book of ancient knowledge. We can learn the secrets of his powers. And his weaknesses. And more importantly, who he is and what he looks like." Granted, The Sorcerer already knew who the Ninja was he just didn't know what he looked like since he didn't know if it was one of his brothers or his nephew and there was a good chance that he change what he looked like from time to time. "Give me that!" McFist shouted. McFist tried to open the Nomicon for several minutes by using his bare hands but nothing worked. "Sir, let me take a whack at it." McFist handed Viceroy the Nomicon. Viceroy put the Nomicon on McFist's desk, put his device between the covers, and pushed a button that started to work against the covers to open it.

"Hang in there, Master. I know you can do it. You need to be okay to punish me," Randy said. He so desperately wanted to save his master and get away from The Sorcerer, McFist, and Viceroy.

After a few more seconds of Viceroy's device trying to open the Nomicon, it broke into several pieces and the Nomicon sat unharmed. Now, annoyed with their tactics, The Sorcerer said, "Enough of this! I'll do it myself." The Sorcerer concentrated hard and Red Stank appeared all around him. The Red Stank came to his hands and he shot it out scaring McFist and freaking out Viceroy. "Is that stank? What the juice?" The Red Stank slowly went into the Nomicon and tried to pry it open. "Oh, he's stanking up the pages! Enough of that. It's Ninja time!" Randy jumped down from the ceiling right in front of The Sorcerer, McFist, and Viceroy. "Ninja?"

"Sorcerer."

"Ninja?"

"McFist."

"Hello," Viceroy said. "You've got something that belongs to me! Ninja Snatch!" Randy used his scarf to grab the Nomicon, landed, and now he needed to escape. "Destroy him!" McFist pushed a button and many robo-ape's came into the office. Randy had to get out of here. He was surrounded by some of his greatest enemies. 'I can't fight them all at once. I need to get out and fast.'

"Ha! What you don't know is that Viceroy designed my office for exactly this kind of confrontation!" McFist shouted. "Well, now he knows," Viceroy told him annoyed. McFist pushed another button on his desk and a trapdoor opened underneath Randy and one other robo-ape. They both fell into a clock like gear trap while the one robo-ape was destroyed, Randy used his scarf to get to safety. "OK, no. No, I can do this. It's just like climbing the waterfall, only this time I can't get cocky like last time." Randy jumped to a rolling beam and it was like trying to stand on a log in the water. "This is nothing like climbing the waterfall!" He jumped down to a gear-like platform and dodged a gear-like ax. "Ninja Dodge."

"You're gonna have to do better than that Ugh!" Randy got hard and fell to another gear-like platform. It rose up with a disoriented Randy saying, "I take it back. That was pretty good. You knocked me down with a big hammer."

"Get him!" Many robo-ape's landed on Randy hard. Two of them picked Randy up, held him by his arms, and dragged him closer to McFist. "I present to you the Ninja! Now, about my reward." McFist was being ignored by The Sorcerer, he was to busy being happy with the fact that the Ninja had finally been caught. "After centuries entombed in this filthy hole, I will be free, and chaos will reign."

"And my reward?" McFist asked again. The Sorcerer ignored him as he once again gathered more Red Stank and shot it at Randy. Randy tried to dodge the Red Stank by kicked the robo-apes holding him then running but was too late. The Sorcerer grabbed Randy and started to suffocate him. "My Master and father did not prepare me for this."

'This is it. I failed. I can't believe that after 800 years it's going to end like this. The Nomicon started to glow and past lessons that Randy has gotten started to appear in front of him. "A ninja must master the art of stealth. Believe in the weapon that is in the suit. Everything you've taught me is useful, everything you taught me has prepared me."
Sorcerer, I've been kicking your butt for 800 years, and I'll be kicking it for 800 more." As Randy was talking, he was preparing a ninja air kick to stop The Sorcerer. "Ninja Air Kick!" He air kicked The Sorcerer and he dropped to the ground. "What are you standing around for? Attack! He's over there."

"Conceal." Randy hid in the shadows confusing everyone. "Uh, where'd he go?" "Reveal." Randy came out of the shadows behind everyone. "Ah, now he's over there! Get him!"

"Believe in the weapon that is in the suit." Randy got two swords out and destroyed every robo-ape that tried to attack him. He jumped over McFist and Viceroy and destroyed the rest of the robo-apes in the room. Feeling angry that the ninja was winning, The Sorcerer had had enough. "Feel my wrath!" He shot out his red stank to attack Randy. 'Okay time to leave.'

"Ninja Sprint!" Randy ran out with a red stank Sorcerer following him. He was stopped by two robot mantises on both sides and he knew what he had to do. "The best way to avoid an attack is to avoid an attack." He tricked the two robot mantises into running into each other by running to one then back to the other. He continued to run from the red stank Sorcerer and as he was running, he saw Bash with a plate of cookies. "What you got there, plate of cookies?" Randy knocked the plate of cookies out of his hands. "Hey!" Bash shouted. "Not anymore," Randy knew he would probably get punished for that later but right now, it just felt good to do it besides, he was learning how to be a teenager in this century. "My eatin' circles!" The Red Stank Sorcerer passed by and caused Bash to fall down which had the watching robo-apes laughing up a storm.

It took a while but Randy finally found an exit but a metal door blocked it off. He saw one final lesson along with his tengu friend, Flare. "Ninja Tengu Fire Ball!" Randy jumped out of the window and the Red Stank Sorcerer disappeared into thin air the moment it went outside.

Back in the Cunningham House, Randy was explaining to Howard everything that happened as Howard was playing Grave Puncher. "And then I sliced through the grate, jumped out a window, caught the 2:30 cross-town bus, after asking Susan where it was, how it worked, and what I needed to do, and here I am," Randy told him. "Wow! You are hardcore, Cunningham. I would never take the bus even if I was an 800-year-old dude. You weren't the only one who had an epic afternoon. McFist Pad and I took my grave punchin' to the next level, yo. Check out these moves." Howard paused his game for a minute to show Randy his McFist pad again, set it down, and continued to play to show Randy his new moves but Randy had other ideas.

He knew that he had to accept his punishment for almost losing The Nomicon to two of his greatest enemies so he got up and walked over to the Nomicon which was sitting against the wall in the living room. "What are you doing?" Howard asked. "I have to accept my punishment for almost losing the Nomicon today. I should be back soon." He got into a meditative position and went inside the Nomicon.

He was back where he was earlier in the school day, near the waterfall that he had to climb. "Master, I am so sorry that I nearly lost you to not one but two of our greatest enemies today. I should have paid more attention to where I put you and for that, I am truly sorry." Randy bowed and waited for the inevitable. "Chīsana ninja, anata wa watashitachi no ichizoku no shinseina chishiki-sho o hobo ushinau koto ni taishite basse rarerubekidesu."(1) Randy flinched. "Shikashi, anata wa akiraka ni anata no ressun o manabimashita. Dakara, anata wa ochiru koto naku taki o 3-kai noboranakereba narimasen."(2) Randy breathe a sigh of relief. He was forgiven gracefully this time and he was never going to make the same mistake again.

Sorry, this took so long, this was supposed to go up on the 30th of December but I lost all my stinkin' work because of a stupid mistake I made! 'Takes a calming breath' But here it is and I hope Y'all enjoyed it. I will see Y'all in Hipopocalypse Now. Don't forget to fav, follow, and review, please! Bye! :)

Japanese Translations:

1. Little Ninja, you should be punished for nearly losing our clan's sacred book of knowledge.

2. But, you have clearly learned your lesson. So, you must climb the waterfall three times without falling.
