Sarcophagus Ruckus
Summary: Randy accidentally gets trapped inside an Egyptian sarcophagus during a battle against a thief at the museum. But this sarcophagus is not like other sarcophaguses though.
A/N: A little help from Stinkfly3
A/N: Before you guys start yelling at me for getting Randy's phobia wrong or start questioning me where I was, let me tell you that I sorta did get Randy's phobia wrong and should've stick with the chicken phobia which is canon in "McFear Factor", but I decided to make his fear of sarcophaguses a second phobia. I got this headcanon that Randy has two phobias and this story is going to have some sort of continuity nod from "McFear Factor". As for where I was, I was at the dentist one day, getting all of my wisdom teeth out. Gotta say it hurts like hell during the aftermath. Anyway, on with the show-er ... story!
It was just another day at the Cunningham residence. Like most other days, Howard and Randy are usually seen playing Grave Puncher games throughout the entire day. But not this time. Today, Howard is seen playing video games alone, gaining a lot of points and getting into higher levels. Randy on the other hand, was sitting on the couch, the Nomicon opened on his lap. His body was as stiff as a mummy and his sapphire eyes were as blank as dead. If you'd ask anybody in this room what the juice Randy is doing while in an awkward position, let's just say that Randy's undergoing another training session with the Nomicon.
Inside the 800-year old book, Randy, while wearing the ninja suit but without the mask, was at the dojo training with Nomicon, in her human form. The Sapphire Ankh was wrapped around his neck, glowing a calm sapphire.
"Concentrate." Nomicon informed Randy as her arms moved to form a colorless triange beam with glowing red outlines in the air. "Try to create a triange beam with the Sapphire Ankh."
"Got it." Randy replied as his arms proceeds to form a colorless triange beam with glowing blue outlines in the air while using the Sapphire Ankh. Unfortunately, by the time Randy's hand makes it to the second point, he flinched, causing the unfinished triangle beam to disappear in front of him. Randy senses Nomicon giving him a disapproving look. "Sorry."
Randy tries again for the second time. This time, he made it to the third point whern all three points of the triangle beam change into blue scarabs in the form of hieroglyphics. Nomicon is impressed.
"Very good, Randy. Now try to concentrate on getting the target." Nomicon shows Randy his target - a dummy version of Mac Antfee. "Do not let anything distract you."
Randy nods as he attemps to lock his target with his triangle beam. Before he could do anything else, Randy felt something grabbing him, like a rope. With his eyes off the target, Randy decided to see what was grabbing him and it had given him quite a fright - a bandage, usually found in ancient mummies, buried in sarcophaguses, began to wrap around his arm within seconds. Randy flinched as he quickly grabs his sword from his arsenal and cut the bandage off of him before it could do anything else on him. His complete triange beam quickly disappears by the time Randy recovers from his sudden fright. This time, Nomicon looks concerned as she tries to comfort him with deep concern.
"Randy, you must not let anything distract you in order to master the powers of the Blue Scarab."
"I'm sorry, Nomicon." Randy apologizes. "I tried not to get distracted, but it's my stupid phobia that's getting the best of me, aside from my fear of chickens ... and roosters. How am I suppose to learn the powers of the Blue Scarab if my phobia keeps bugging me?"
"Randy, there is nothing for you to fear about, but the fear that is inside you. If this fear of yours is a living thing, I'd suggest embracing it like you did with the chickens, but that's just my theory."
Before Randy could say anything else, he gets sent back into the real world where he almost scared Howard to death.
"Geez, Cunningham!" Howard yepled. "You nearly scared me to death whenever you wake up from the Nomicon."
Randy scratches his head. "Sorry."
"So, what was Nomicon teaching you anyway?" Howard decided to change the subject.
"Some new powers which are so bruce!" Randy replied cheerfully before his expression changed into a sad one. "Except there's one thing that's keeping me from mastering it."
Howard becomes curious. "What one thing? A stupid riddle you have to learn?"
"No, it's not one of Nomicon's riddles."
"Then what?" Howard grew impatient.
Randy looks away. "I ... I don't think you'd want to know about it. It's kinda ... personal."
"Cunningham, stop trying to avoid this conversation. We're best friends, and best friends never keep secrets from each other."
Randy raised an eyebrow.
"I"m your best friend and I cared about you. Whatever it is that's troubling you, please let me help you."
Randy takes a deep breath. His sapphire eyes were locked on Howard's hazel eyes. "It's my phobia."
"Your what?" Howard became confused. Randy facepalms.
"My phobia is what's keeping me from mastering my new powers. Howard, I don't just have a fear of chickens ... and roosters. I have feretrophobia."
Howard became more confused. "Ferewhatywhat?"
"I have a fear of sarcophaguses!" Randy yelled out a straight answer.
"Ooooh ... I don't get it."
Randy facepalms again. "You don't know what a sarcophagus is, do you?"
Howard smiles. "Nope."
"A sarcophagus is what the ancient Egyptians used to bury mummies in them. Y'know, you really should pay more attention to History class."
"No, you really should be playing Grave Punchers with me. Ever since Cindy and Bobby had to go to Mellowbrook for a family visit and Sierra went to visit her grandmother in New Orleans, there's like nothing to do here until tomorrow!"
"Howard, there's like a lot of things we could do here while Cindy, Bobby and Sierra are away, aside from playing Grave Punchers all day." Randy told Howard.
"Such as?"
"I heard there's a new Japanese exhibit at the museum today, so I thought we'd go there and check it out." Randy said excitedly.
Howard frowns. "Do I have to learn boring thing in there."
Randy smirks. "Unless we're in a field trip there, you don't have to learn a thing or two."
Howard turns off the TV and walks out from the door. "Alright, you convinced me. Let's go."

"Now, as you look to your left, you'll see some ancient Japanese armour, mostly found during the Heian period." the tour guide said to a group of visitors, Randy and Howard included, as the tour guide escorts them through the Japanese exhibit. The room was very tall, walls coated in rich crimson paint with gold and silver marble pillars lining the wals, a glass dome on the ceiling that bathes the marbled floor. Glass exhibit boxes were located all around the room, displaying old jars, art and other valuable objects "Anyway, as you look to your right, you'll see paintings and ancient artifacts that belongs to ninjas back in ancient times."
"Does it have to do with the Norrisville ninja?" a little boy asked the tour guide.
The tour guide smiles. "No it has nothing to do with the Norrisville ninja, but good question though. Anyway, the very first ninja since the beginning of time was called shinobi."
"What does shinobi mean anyway?" Howard asked the tour guide.
"It means to steal away and to forbear. Further on, the title ninja has sometimes been attributed retrospectively to the semi-legendary 4th century Prince Yamato Takeru." the tour guide continued. "When he was very young, Yamato Takeru disguied himself as a charming maiden and then killed two chiefs of the Kumaso people. But these records of him take place at a very early stage of Japanes history, so they aren't exactly connected to the shinobo of later accounts."
Before the tour guide could continue any further, the alarm system went off. Those who were on the tour panicked and whimper in cowardance, all but Randy and Howard for some reasons. Not knowing what to do next, Randy and Howard saw an African-American security guard running up to the tour guide and the visitors. "There's been a robbery somewhere in the museum, so I'll have to ask you and the others to come with me at once until we can get rid of the situation."
The tour guide and the visitors nod as almost everyone followed the security guard. Only Howard and Randy are left standing in the now-empty exhibit. Randy quietly pulls out the ninjs mask from his knapsack. Howard lets out a smile. "We're gonna catch the thief, right?"
"Yep." Randy replied as he puts on the mask and quickly turns into the ninja. "One question. Where the thief?"
Right on cue, the blonde, muscular thief - complete with a simple black jacket, a grey T-shirt, a pair of black pants and a black wool mask shows his face to the ninja and Howard, with a sack of stolen priceless artifacts hauled over his shoulders. For the first few minutes, the ninja studies the thief's features which made Howard grow impatient.
"Would you just go fight him already!?" Howard yelled at the ninja.
The ninja sighs as he pulls out his nun-chucks and proceeds to attack the thief. The thief however pulls out a gun.
"You better smarten up, kid." the thief warned the ninja. "Or else you'll be a dead ninja."
The ninja didn't say anything as he lets himself disappear into the wall, shocking both the thief and Howard. Neither of them noticed the ninja reappearing behind the thief. Before the thief could react, the ninja attacks him with his nun-chucks. The thief returns the favor by punching the ninja in the face, causing the ninja to fall onto the floor. With the ninja down, the thief makes his escape to the Egyptian exhibit. The ninja gets back up to his feet and starts chasing the thief to the Egyptian exhibit. The room was very tall, walls coated in rich sapphire paint with gold marble pillars lining the wals, a glass dome on the ceiling that bathes the marbled floor. Glass exhibit boxes were located all around the room, displaying old jars, art and other valuable objects. At the core center of the room lays a large, wide but rather ... strange sarcophagus that seems opened. Since when do sarcophaguses have green and grey paint instead of the original colors of ancient times? The ninja flinched a little upon seeing the sarcophagus, his fear coming back to him a little.
He couldn't see the thief anywhere, but he was certain that the thief is hiding somewhere in the room.
Focus. The ninja thought at he scans the room. Green and yellow pen arrows point at one of the Egyptian vases. Binjo.
The ninja tries to sneak up on the confirmed vase in hopes of catching the thief. But the thief slips away before the ninja could catch him, causing the ninja to fumble into the ground. The ninja then sees the thief standing next to the opened sarcophagus. He lungs at the thief who slips out of the way within the last second, causing the ninja to fall into the opened sarcophagus and lose consciousness upon hitting his head into the coffin's stone floor. The thief had more than enough time to lock the ninja inside the sarcophagus by closing the lid, making sure the ninja doesn't escape while the thief makes his getaway. The strange metal locks apperar onto the sarcophagus and glowed a rather strange light of green. He fails to notice Howard witnessing the whole thing. By the time Howard came into the exhibit, the thief made his escape up to the dome with a rope and he was long gone.
"Ninja!" Howard cried as he ran up to the enclosed sarcophagus where the ninja is. He tries to pry the lid open, but it was no use. The metal locks had the sarcophagus shut tight. "Hang in there, buddy."
Howard proceeds to try again. Unfortunately for him, he fails to notice the security guard, the same one that escorted both the tour guide and the visitors out from the Japanese exhibit, coming inside the Egyptian exhibit. He saw Howard trying to pry the sarcophagus open. He shook his head as he approaches the ginger and placed his bulky hand on the boy's shoulder, causing the boy to yelp in fear.
"You were supposed to come with me with the others until this whole robbery is taken cared of." the security guard told Howard as he drags him out of the Egyptian exhibit.
"But my friend's trapped in there. I can't leave him there like that." Howard pleaded. The security guard sighs as he and Howard are finally out of the Egyptian exhibit.
"Kids with their silly mummy stories nowadays. You oughta see a psychiatrist, boy."

Inside the enclosed sarcophagus, the ninja regains his consciousness. He looks at his surroundings - small confined spaces with little or no air, then it hit him. His feretrophobia is coming back to him, the same way his fear of chickens came back to him when he got captured by McFist before. He starts to feel panicked within seconds. He needs to get out of that sarcophagus. He gets into his kneeling position and starts pushing the sarcophagus' lid open, but no matter how strong he is with the ninja suit on, the lid won't budge. He tries again with his sais, but to no avail. He was about to use other weapons to break the lid open, but knowing just how valuable the sarcophagus is, he doesn't have the heart to break the lid into pieces in order to get out. Finally, he stops trying, lies down on his back and shifts into a more comfortable position, like a person having his eternal sleep inside a coffin. He still panics though.
Okay, don't panic. the ninja told himself as he stops panicking. It won't get you out of this mess.
Come to think of it, the ninja had learned a thing or two on surviving this kind of situation in science class, when they have to learn about the human body or something. The more he paniced, the more likely he is to not survive.
How do I get out of this without panicking myself?
Then something hits him.
The iPhone!
The ninja quickly grabs his iPhone out of his arsenal and turns it on. He was about to call Howard to get him out, only to find out that the battery is almost out. He cursed as he turns the phone off and puts it back into his arsenal. He returns to lying down on his back, his arms crossed in anger.
Okay, the iPhone's low on battery, and I can't break the lid open without getting arrested. Now what?
To conquer your fear, you must embrace your fear. The Nomicon's advice played through the ninja's mind. The same one that is used to help him get over his other fear of chickens ... and roosters. Then it hits him.
If he continues to panic, the situation he's in will get worsen and he'll most likely never get out of the sarcophagus or conquer his fear. If he stays calm, he'll conquer his fear of sarcophaguses, just like how he conquered his fear of chickens ... and roosters. He sits up a little, careful not to hit his head on the lid. His hand went behind his back, mainly to reach for his arsensal. This was very hard to do so when you're trapped inside a stone box that has small, confined spaces with little or no air to breathe into. After few seconds of not being able to find something in his arsenal, he finally found the Sapphire Ankh.
There is nothing for you to fear about, but the fear that is inside you. Nomicon's words played through the ninja's mind.
"If my feretrophobia is inside me, maybe I can let that all out." The ninja silently told himself as he looks at the Sapphire Ankh. "All I have to do is keep calm and meditate. It's like being a mummy, except I'm not wrapped up in bandage gauze and I'm not actually dead yet."
The ninja puts the Sapphire Ankh around his neck and returns to lying down on his back, this time, his arms are crossed in a similar manner, much like how ancient mummies crossed their arms - right over left, the left hand clasping onto the right shoulder while the right hand remains relaxed and pronate on the left shoulder. He closes his eyes and makes slow, even breaths, as if he is meditating. The Sapphire Ankh glowed like a heart beat, its rhythm matching the ninja's breathing.
Keep calm ... The ninja thought as he continues on meditating. ... and meditate on.

Meanwhile, Howard is at the lobby room with the other museum visitors. The security guard kept watch while standing at the doorway. So far during his stay, there has been nothing in here that seems interesting, except old folks talking, kids acting like brats and a really overweight guy eating doughnuts. Aside from the fact that the lobby room seems pretty nice - tall walls coated in rich beige paint with gold marble pillars lining the wals, three windows on the left wall (the doorway's left) in which the sun bathes the marbled floor, a dozen black leather couches located on the left and right walls, a flat screen TV located on the wall that is facing the doorway and a couple of magazine lying on the glass table - Howard wasn't interested. He seems more focused on how to get out of the lobby room and rescue Randy before he dies of suffocation while trapped inside the sarcophagus.
Cunningham needs me. Howard thought as he looks for an escape route. He won't survive in there. I can feel it.
After long thirty seconds of finding an escape route, Howard finds one - the air vent. While both the security guard and the visitors are distracted by their normal routines, Howard prys open the air vent's gateway and despite admitting that he's chubby, gets inside the air vent, all without getting his big butt stuck in the opening. He follows the vent's one-way route, until he stumbles onto two different directions in front of him. One of them has to lead Howard into the Egyptian exhibit, but which one's which?
Curse those air vents. Howard thought as he tries unsuccessfully to pick a route. How will I know which one's which?
Green and blue pen arrows point at the route on the right. Howard smiles as he proceeds to continue on his way through the route on the right. "Thank you, Nomicon."
Five minutes later, Howard found the vent's gateway to the Egyptian exhibit. He looks around to see if there's someone in the room. None. So far so good. Howard opens up the gateway and he is now standing in the empty Egyptian exhibit. The enclosed sarcophagus where the ninja is locked in hasn't changed or moved one bit. Howard slowly approaches towards the sarcophagus.
"Psst, ninja?" Howard whispered to get the ninja's attention from the inside. "Ninja, can you hear me?"
No answer.
"C'mon ninja, wake up." Howard cried as he shakes the sarcophagus. "Quit being a dead shoob and answer me already!"
Still no answer. Unbeknownst to him, the ninja is still meditating inside, trying to keep calm and relaxed. He had yet to open his eyes until he heard Howard's voice from the outside of his stone prison. Howard's voice broke the ninja's meditating process as he opens his eyes, but does not change his current position - still lying on his back and his arms still crossed like a mummy.
"Howard?" the ninja spoke to his friend from the other side. "Is that you?"
"Finally you noticed!" Howard's complaint was heard from the outside. "What's with you being a dead mummy? I tried speaking to you, twice!"
"Sorry about that." the ninja apologized. "I'm kinda conquering my fear of sarcophaguses."
"Right!" Howard spots the janitor's closet just across from the doorway. This gives him an idea. He proceeds to leave the sarcophagus alone as he heads towards the janitor's closet. "Don't go anywhere until I can find something to get you out of there. Hopefully there's something I can use to get rid of those weird metal locks."
"You do realized that I'm inside the sarcophagus, you know that?" the ninja replied before resuming on what he was doing before - meditating.
Howard was lucky that the janitor of the museum didn't lock the closet after using it. When he gets inside, he saw useful and useless items - brooms, mops, keys, buckets, toolboxes and so much more. One item caught Howard's attention - the crowbar. "This'll work."
Howard grabs the crowbar from the shelf and goes back to the Egyptian exhibit, except the muesum director is already inside with two robo-apes who are both holding the sarcophagus - the one the ninja is locked in. Howard had more than enough time to hid behind one of the vases as he listens to the museum director's conversation with the two robo-apes.
"You sure McFist want you apes to remove this sarcophagus from the museum?" the museum director asked the robo-apes. "Not that I have no idea about its apperance, its history and all, but I'm most uncertain of this."
"Not to worry, sir. We'll take good care of it." one of the robo-apes replied. "We're just going to take it to McFist Industries to keep it away from the thief until further notice."
"Think of it as a weekly check-up." the other robo-ape replied. "We're just going to see what's wrong with it and we'll let you know if this sarcophagus is valuable or not."
"Fair enough." the museum director is now convinced. "Take it away."
Howard watched in horror as the robo-apes haul the sarcophagus out of the Egyptian exhibit. Without thinking, Howard follows them until the robo-apes are outside of the museum where he sees a grey delivery truck with the McFist logo on it. Careful not to get caught, Howard hid behind a pile of trash cans as he sees the robo-apes carefully hauling the sarcophagus inside the cargo. Just then, one of the robo-apes' iPhone went off. The robo-ape checks his iPhone where he sees a video of an impatient McFist.
"Well?" McFist asked impatiently.
"We got the ninja." the robo-ape informed McFist from the other line. "That plan of yours worked like a charm."
He and the other robo-ape failed to noticed Howard getting inside the cargo with a crowbar and (unsuccessfully) tries to pry the sarcophagus open again.
On the other line, McFist is squealing and screaming like a pleased spoiled brat. "YES! Bring him to me at once! NOW!"
"With pleasure sir." the robo-ape clicked the line dead.
Back inside the cargo, Howard continues to pry the sarcophagus open until he heard metal footsteps coming closer. He immediately stops prying the lid open and quickly hid behind a pile of boxes, hoping that the robo-apes wouldn't see him. He sits still and kept himself quiet as the robo-apes came closer. Unfortunately for him, Howard made a squeaky fart which caught the robo-apes' attention. One of them spotted Howard hiding behind a pile of boxes, so he walks up to the box and grabs Howard off the ground by the shirt.
"Hey kid, go home!" the robo-ape told Howard as he throws the ginger out of the cargo. "This is private business."
As soon as Howard is thrown out of the cargo, the robo-apes closed the cargo shut and get inside the truck and start the engine, leaving Howard to watch helplessly as the truck drives off to its destination - McFist Industries.
"I hope he's alright." Howard said sadly before his watch goes off. He proceeds to walk his way towards McCafe. "Right now, I need ice-cream."

"Viceroy, that plan of yours really worked for once." McFist spoke to Viceroy as the two robo-apes hauled the sarcophagus into McFist's office - the same sarcophagus that the ninja is trapped in. "How did you come up with that?"
"It's simple, Hannibal." Viceroy explained his plan. "All I did to trap the ninja was create an Egyptian sarcophagus with metal locks in it that only I can unlock."
Just then, the thief, the same blonde, muscular thief - complete with a simple black jacket, a grey T-shirt, a pair of black pants and a black wool mask enters the office and made his way towards Viceroy. McFist finds himself being uncomfortabe with the thief. "What's with the cat burglar?"
"He's a robotic android that I created, much like how I created Franz Nukid a while ago." Viceroy explains the thief's presence as the face of the thief opens to reveal an android that is hiding behind the mask. "I created him to stage a robbery at the museum which in turn the ninja would show up to stop him, but he didn't realized that the thief's main motive for the both of us is to lure the ninja into a trap that was ultimately succeeded."
"YES!" McFist cried in victory before facing Viceroy. "OPEN UP THE STONE BOX!"
Viceroy nodded as he pulls out a remote from his pockets and pushed the red button, causing the metal locks on the sarcophagus to disappear as the two robo-apes carefully remove the lid from the sarcophagus. Inside the sarcophagus was the ninja who somehow appears to be dead, but actually he is meditating, though no one in the room knew about that. His arms are crossed in a similar manner, much like how ancient mummies crossed their arms - right over left, the left hand clasping onto the right shoulder while the right hand remains relaxed and pronate on the left shoulder. His sapphire eyes are closed, fallen into a deep slumber. The Sapphire Ankh glowed like a heart beat. Both McFist and Viceroy were shocked and surprised at the same time. They'd expect to see the ninja looking at them in shock or sprinting out of the sarcophagus, but all they got was the ninja being peacefully dead, not knowing that he is very much alive and is meditating in a calm way.
"Viceroy! Why is the ninja dead?" McFist asked Viceroy in an annoyed tone. "Not that I cared about him being alive and all, but why does he have his arms crossed like a dead mummy in Egypt?"
Viceroy examines the ninja's presence. Sure the ninja looks dead from a distance, and he had his arms crossed like a mummy, but when Viceroy took a closer look, he knew instantly that the ninja wasn't dead - the Sapphire Ankh said so because you could tell that it's glowing much like a heart beat. Plus, he could hear the ninja's soft, almost silent breathing. "The ninja's not dead."
"WHAT?" McFist jolted upon hearing what Viceroy had told him. His face almost went red. "If he's not dead, they why does he look dead?"
"Looks to me that he's in some sort of meditation process." Viceroy explained, feeling rather impressed at what the ninja did during his imprisonment in the sarcophagus.
"Well, snap him out of it!" McFist demanded like a spoiled brat.
"I could, but then he'll know what we're up to and he'll try to escape. The best thing we could do is leave him to his meditation while we imprison him in a large glass tube that I've installed for this occasion. It'll be strong and powerful enough to render all of his weapons useless, including the Ninja Air Fist. And then, we'll destory him."
McFist laughs evilly with Viceroy's clever plan. "Set up glass! We've got good news for the sorcerer, and soon I'll get the superpower of my choosing!"
Viceroy smiles as he pulls out another remote from his pockets and pressed the red button. Instantly, the ceiling doors open to reveal a large glass tube coming down towards the sarcophagus where the ninja is. It successfully traps both the sarcophagus and the ninja inside upon touching the floor. McFist and Viceroy were smiling evilling at their end results.
"Let's go get a coffee break, Viceroy." McFist said to Viceroy as both villains leave the office. "And then we'll destroy the ninja forever!"
After the villains left to get some coffee, the office became empty - the ninja left alone meditating inside the sarcophagus while now imprisoned in a glass tube. After few seconds of silence, the ninja finally opened his eyes. For the first time since he was trapped in the sarcophagus for who knows how long he's been there, the ninja made a small discovery after meditating for a while. The sarcophagus' lid was removed and he's no longer in the museum.
Did Howard remove the lid while I was meditating? the ninja thought as he, for the first time in a while, gets out of the sarcophagus.
The ninja looks at his surroundings. He was inside McFist's office, actually he's inside a rather large glass tube. Not far from the tube was the thief, his face removed to reveal what's behind the mask - an android. The feeling of discomfort sank into the ninja's body and it sank even lower when McFist and Viceroy returned from their coffee break. The ninja's eyes widen in shock. McFist and Viceroy let out smug smiles when they saw the ninja awaken from his meditation and knowing the fact that he is trapped.
"How do you like your new prison, ninja?" McFist asked the ninja with such smug from his face.
The ninja crossed his arms. "Trapping me in a sarcophagus at the museum and bringing me here seems new."
McFist's smile grew more smugged. "Yes. But you're trapped inside a glass tube that is powerful and strong enough to render all of your weapons, Air Fist included, useless! HA!"
The ninja was surprised, but he lets out a smirk that is hidden under the mask. He moves his arms to form a colorless triange beam with glowing blue outlines in the air while using the Sapphire Ankh. He made it to the third point whern all three points of the triangle beam change into blue scarabs in the form of hieroglyphics. With the complete triangle, the ninja locks his target - the glass.
"NINJA BLUE SCARAB!" the ninja shouted as the triangle shout out a sapphire blue beam at the glass, creating a hole on the glass. Within seconds, the ninja escapes through the hole, surprising and shocking his enemies.
"GET HIM!" McFist cried as a horde of robo-apes appear out of nowhere and surrounded the ninja. The ninja lets the Sapphire Ankh generate a powerful spherical field around him, allowing the ninja to release powerful sapphire energy waves at the robo-apes, knocking all of the at once.
"Sorry McFist, but better luck next time." the ninja told McFist as he pulls out a smoke bomb, throws it on the ground and disappears into thin air. "SMOKE BOMB!"
"I hate this plan." McFist muttered in anger.

At Randy's tree-house, Howard is seen playing video games alone again, gaining a lot of points and getting into higher levels when the ninja shows up through the window. He lands on the floor, takes off his mask and turns backs into Randy Cunningham.
"So what happened at McFist Industries?" Howard asked Randy, not bothering to look at him nor take his eyes off the game.
"The usual - McFist wants to destroy me, I defeat him and that's about it." Randy replied.
"What about the sarcophagus?"
"Part of McFist's plan to capture me." Randy smirks. "Y'know during my time on conquering my fear of sarcophaguses, I noticed the McFist logo painted inside the sarcophagus which sorta makes a lot of sense."
"Well I'm glad you're okay. I could've go to McFist Industries to rescue you, but ice-cream's more important. Hope you'd understand."
Randy smiled, but it grew into a wicked grin when Randy unplugs the TV, causing Howard to scream in agony.
"More important that your best friend, huh?"
Howard grumbles. From now on, Howard would stop underestimating his ninja friend.

Extra Scene:
Back at the museum, the security guard had noticed that Howard escaped from the lobby room. All he did ws scream in agony, drop his hat onto the floor, stepped on it and walk away from the lobby room.
"Man I hate my job."
