So it's been over a week since McFist and I had our 'little talk' and I think I'm ready to take on the Sorcerer. I have to go alone; I can't risk Howard and Katy getting hurt. But I can't just go up to them and say that I'm going to go destroy the Sorcerer. I have to leave them; I'll leave them a letter explaining to them why I went without them; and if I die in the process of it, to just stay where they are. I don't want them to die trying to save Norrisville because I couldn't. I'll need to leave first thing in the morning. "Cunningham!" Howard yells at me while I was thinking. He must have been yelling my name for over seven minutes now. I look at him, "Are you okay? Is something bugging you bro?"
"Nah, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired from training last night. That's all." He shrugs and begins to head back into his room. "Oh hey, do you know if Katy has come out of her room yet? She's been so antisocial since the 'Dylan thing'."
He shakes his head "Nope, don't worry Cunningham; I'm sure that she'll come out of there sooner or later."
I smile at Howard, "Yeah, I guess you're right. I mean its not like she can spend the rest of her life in there. Right." Howard rolls his eyes. Maybe I should leave now. I mean Howard is going to be spending his day in his room trying to figure out how I can improve my training, and I'm pretty sure that Katy isn't going to be coming out of her room any time soon. So as soon as I hear Howard shut his door I jump up from the couch and grab the mask and leave the letter on the counter for Howard and Katy. I head back to where I was once held as a prisoner by the Sorcerer. I swoop down the vent where I escaped from. I was back where it started; it ends here. Today is the day that I take down the Sorcerer; that I at least try to trap him back down here. And to keep him here for the rest of my high school years. I put the mask over my face and yell, "All right Sorcerer, I'm here now. Let's settle this."
A green fog comes out from a pipe and comes over to me. It swirls all around circling me. The frog starts to swirl about five feet away from me. As the fog clears up, I can see that it is the Sorcerer. I grab my sword from my suit and ready myself. The fog finally clears up; the Sorcerer gives me an evil grin, "Young boy, the first ninja couldn't defeat me. He managed to trap me down here; but you're just a mere fourteen year old. You're not even matured yet; you still laugh and play and put those you love the most in danger. What makes you think that you'll be able to even lay a hand on me?"
"That's the thing, I don't know if I'm going to defeat you; but it's worth a shot. You may think that I'm an immature shoob now; but I've learned from my mistakes. And now, I'm putting what I learned to good use."
The Sorcerer just looks at me and finally says to me, "Well if you want to try to defeat me go right ahead boy. No ones stopping you!" I run towards him with my sword ready to stab him in his gut. Before I can even give him a paper cut, he pulls a sword of his own out of his sleeve. Our swords were now being used like shields. I was leaning over his trying to get him to drop it. He suddenly gets a burst of strength and I'm thrown onto the ground. "You poor boy, I almost feel sorry for how weak you are. But you are wearing the mask and you should have a little more strength from it, I guess you're just giving up." He lifts his sword in the air, "I should just put you out of your misery." He brings it down toward me and I roll out of the way.
I jump to my feet and throw a ninja ring at him. It only slices the side of his face, it was like a paper cut. He touched the cut with his hand then looks at his hand and then me with shock. "You're going to die now child!" He runs up to me I throw tripping balls at him but no use. I lift up my sword, closed my eyes, and just swung. I hear an aching screech; I open my eyes to see that I had sliced the Sorcerer in his stomach. He fell onto his knees and became unconscious. I dropped my sword onto the ground in surprise that I had actually done it. I defeated the Sorcerer. I fell on my knees.
"Cunningham we-" I look up to see Howard and Katy staring at me with weapons in their hands. "You-you did it? You killed him? We won!"
"Howard, he's not dead; he's just unconscious. Randy sliced him." Katy looks up at me, "So what are you going to do now?"
"He's going to be locked up back down here where he can't hurt anyone else. I know you think that it would be best to kill him; but you guys know I would never have the guts to kill anyone. I'll attach the ancient chains back onto him and everyone will be de-stanked." And after I put those chains on the Sorcerer, McFist would lose his power that the Sorcerer had given him. I pull out the Nomicon and am sucked inside; it shows me how to lock the Sorcerer back up using the art of medal. I come back into reality and do the art of medal as quickly as possible. The Sorcerer was back to being chained up underneath the school. "I have to let everyone know that everything is okay. That we can re-build Norrisville. I have to go to the highest building that hasn't been destroyed yet."
Howard and Katy think, "McFist Industries!" Howard says very loudly.
I nod to them, "Okay let's go."
We quickly run toward McFist industries and I get us to the top of the building. "You guys stay inside, I don't want anyone to recognize me by just seeing you two. Please." They look at each other then back at me and nod. I walk to the edge of the building; I look down at what was once Norrisville. "Citizens of Norrisville, I know you may think that I left you all to defend for yourselves; but I promise you all that if I ever did such a thing I would kill myself." I start to see people peeking out of the windows and doors of buildings, "It was my duty to protect you all; to keep you all safe no matter what. But six months ago, I failed that duty. I was trapped; the Sorcerer kept me as his prisoner. But I have now defeated him; he is no longer the ruler of Norrisville. Norrisville is now free!" I now see a huge crowd of people gathering around the building, "I'm sorry that I let you all down; I will never make that mistake of disappointing you all ever again. I am from now and forever; the ninja of Norrisville." Everyone cheers and claps with excitement and happiness. Everything is going to be back to normal.
