Hi everyone! This isn't a request, but it's a really long episode oneshot! I call it an "episode oneshot" because it's really long, and it would take the same amount of time to read it as reading a real episode. This is my longest oneshot yet, with over 4000 words!

I worked really hard on this, so please, enjoy!

Randy Cunningham 9th Grade Ninja (c) Disney XD, Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas

Randy walked into class alone. Since Howard was sick, he had no reason to be early to class or anything. Yet, despite the fact that he was barely on time to class, the classroom was near empty. Randy suspected that it was because most of the other classmates had fallen ill as well.

Mr. Banner sat at his desk in the front of the class, a sour expression on his face. Now, this was not something too abnormal with the high school English teacher. However, with a look back at the past few days, you would notice something strange happening with all of the teachers. They were more... angry and hot headed.

Randy took a seat in the back of the room, not wanting to be near the wrath of an angry teacher when it happened. With a glance around the room, Randy saw two girls on the left of the classroom sitting next to each other and another boy sitting alone at the right. He also noticed Debbie Kang seated near the front, unlike the rest of them.

He frowned. Whatever was happening at Norrisville High was very strange and suspicious. Luckily for him, however, he knew the perfect person to help the school out with this problem.

~0~

Smoke suddenly erupted in the hallway of Norrisville High. The Ninja stood in its wake, not uttering a single sound in fear of being found by one of the temper-testy teachers. Ninja glanced around the usually busy hallway. Empty. Just as he expected.

He guessed that there might have been some kind of contagious sickness being passed around in school, which caused the students to be out. That would explain half of the problem, but that didn't excuse the teachers to be quick tempered.

Ninja knew the first place that he should check; the elusive teacher's lounge. He approached the door silently and jumped above the set of lockers beside the door and waited. Just as the door opened, he leaped into the room, staying above eye level to hide his presence.

The lounge room was dark; the curtains were drawn, a small bulb in the corner producing the only light source. It was a fair sized room, larger than a normal classroom, with an area in the far corner containing a few sofas for resting, and a kitchen area that had a microwave and fridge, and also a table to sit and eat at.

The weird part of the lounge, other than the obvious darkness that was hard to see in, was that there was no one in there and that it was very clean.

Ninja dropped down. So what was, Principle Slimovitz he recalled, doing in the empty lounge? He looked around, noticing that nothing looked disturbed or out of place. Maybe he had come in to rest? He strolled around the room a bit.

As he drew near the table, he noticed a slightly different colored square, and looking closer, found that it was a slip of paper. Ninja picked it up and read it.

"M13? What does that mean?" He shook his head, but pocketed the paper.

Then, done with the room, he left.

~0~

Randy walked down the hallway with his hands in his pockets and in deep thought. Everything that was happening was just weird.

Suddenly, Randy heard a pulsing sound come from his bag. He slid to the side to a random locker and pulled out the Nomicon. "Oh thank cheese, Nomicon! Please give me some advice!"

Randy opened the book and fell towards the ground. As he stood up, Randy found himself in the village that he often found himself in. A figure of a doodle ninja walked past him, heading towards a house. Randy followed the doodle in curiosity. The doodle ninja knocked on the door, and was greeted by a man from inside. They went inside, and Randy trailed in after them.

They sat at a table, and spoke; but Randy heard no words from them. The doodle ninja and the man then shook hands, and words appeared from them and floated above the table.

"Find allies within your companions." Randy blinked at the words. "Okay...?"

He suddenly heard a shout, and as he turned around, he saw a woman smack a broom into his face.

Randy sat up quickly. He tucked the Nomicon into his bag and stood up. "Find allies... in companions. Find partners? In my friends?" Randy spoke as he walked. "But... Howard's not here. So who else could help me? Companions, maybe classmates?" He stopped, and looked around where he was. Wait a second, he knew that door. Randy grinned, he did have friends, um- classmates, other than Howard after all.

"Smokebomb!"

Debbie Kang burst into a coughing fit as a strong smell filled her nose, "What the ju- Ninja?!" Her voice cracking a little.

Ninja started coughing too, "Sorry, sorry." He went to the window and opened it, releasing the gas that had accumulated in the closed room.

They paused to breathe for a moment before Debbie turned around and faced him, "So what's the news Ninja? This can't just be a friendly visit."

"Ah, Debbie Kang, as usual," Ninja smiled under his mask, "getting straight to business."

Debbie quirked an eyebrow at him, expecting more from him.

Ninja nodded in seriousness, "I'm sure you're not air headed enough to not have noticed the lack of student attendance and the growing attitude of faculty and staff."

Debbie's face became serious, "Of course not," She paused, "To be honest though, I'm glad I'm not the only one to have."

"What do you know?" Ninja asked seriously.

Debbie smirked lightly, crossing her arms, "And what makes you think I know anything?"

Ninja rolled his eyes, "You expect me to think that you, Debbie Kang, the youngest journalist on the Norrisville High Gazette Times Tribute Weekly Daily Press Chronicles online edition, do not know what is happening at school?"

"Oh, you flatter me," Debbie waved her hand in the air with a smile. She dropped her hand and grin after, "But in all seriousness, no I don't know much," She turned around to face her desk, and felt the Ninja come up beside her. "Theresa got sick yesterday and she told me that she got the flu. I called some other classmates and asked them, and they all said that they got the flu as well. So we can pass the lack of students as just a sickness, even though the time of season is not too appropriate for it." She explained.

"And the teachers?" Ninja asked eagerly.

"I'm getting there," Debbie retorted, "None of the teachers are absent, so we can say that none of them are sick. But, other than that, I don't know. I tried following a few of the teachers yesterday and earlier today, and I saw them all heading towards the stairwell. That's all," Debbie slouched in defeat.

Ninja frowned, "The stairwell, huh?"

Debbie faced him, "What do you know?"

Ninja reached into his belt and pulled out the square piece of paper, "I sneaked into the teacher's lounge earlier and found it empty. I found this slip of paper on the table in there." He put the paper on her desk.

Debbie turned around to look at it. "M13?" She hummed in thought, "That... sounds familiar," Ninja perked up, "but I can't place it at the moment."

Ninja drooped.

"Wait a second," Debbie stopped. She then stood up, and moved to the side of her office where a short cabinet was. She crouched down and opened it. Ninja watched as she dug through a few papers, then finally pulled one out from somewhere in the middle. "Aha! This!"

Ninja peered over her shoulder, "What is it?"

Debbie stood up, and Ninja stepped back to give her space. Debbie grinned, "It's not the paper itself, but where the paper came from."

Ninja blinked, "...Huh?"

Debbie waved the paper at him, "This piece of paper is a student file. It comes from level B room 4, or also known as B4 in Norrisville High."

You could see the gears moving in Ninja's head, "So, what you're saying is... that M13 is actually the M floor in the room number 13?"

Debbie nodded and crossed her arms, "Exactly."

Ninja tilted his head, "But, there are only three stories here."

Debbie paused and gaped at him in disbelief, "Yea, but that's above ground. NHS has a huge basement! Don't you know that?"

"Oh! Yea! I do, sorry I forgot," Ninja rubbed his neck. Laughing lightly in embarrassment.

Debbie shook her head and went to her desk again, "So what are we gonna do?"

Ninja tapped his chin with a finger. "I don't know. We still don't know what is wrong with the teachers. This is our only lead, so I guess we'll- wait we?"

Debbie frowned, "Yes, we. You roped me into this and I'm not going to let you go yourself now. Plus, this could be a great scoop!"

Ninja sighed, "Alright. But you have to listen to me!"

Debbie grinned excitedly and nodded. "Sure thing, Ninja!"

~0~

Ninja panted lightly as they reached the M basement level. Debbie raised an eyebrow, unimpressed, "You really need to work out more."

Ninja just waved an arm at her, "It's okay, I'm okay."

Debbie walked ahead, and pushed the door into the floor level. The level was dim and dark, but there was an obvious glow coming from a room a little down the hall.

Ninja stepped beside her, "Stay quiet." He whispered to her, earning a nod from her in response. They crept forward silently, slipping along the walls. When they got to the door, they peeked through the long window panel.

Debbie looked over the bottom of the window, and Ninja stood over her to look through the glass.

Inside the room, it looked like a replica of the teacher's lounge. However, this room was different because there was a green gas floating around the feet of the occupants. There were green lights illuminating the room, and there were strange piles of green goop plated on the tables and counter.

The room was full of teachers and staff. Some were walking around, some were standing, and a few were eating the green goop on the tables with their hands. Although, none of them seemed to be talking to anyone.

"Ew," Ninja recoiled as he saw the green goop.

"What is going on?" Debbie muttered from under him.

"This is really weird," Ninja softly said. "It seems like they're all... under some kind of brain washing. There has to be something we're missing."

Debbie glanced up at him, "But what? We can't go in there with all of them in there. And who knows, maybe someone is going to go in there? Or maybe they have cameras watching them."

Ninja opened his mouth to respond, but shut his mouth quickly. Wrapping an arm around Debbie quickly, he jumped up, above the door and above eye level. He covered Debbie's mouth to keep her shout from being too loud.

Just then, the door opened and Principle Slimovitz and Mrs. Zingwald stepped out into the dim hall and went for the stairwell to go back up.

Ninja dropped back down after a moment, and Debbie straightened herself.

"I think it's time we go back upstairs," Ninja commented.

Debbie nodded, and they both started their trek up to the main level of the building.

~0~

Debbie walked beside the Ninja in one of the main hallways upstairs. Ninja sighed from beside her, and she glanced at him, "What now?"

He shrugged, "I dunno."

Debbie stared at him for a moment longer before speaking, "Well, if you're stumped; I'm not. We should go back to the source of the problem."

Ninja paused, "So, the teacher's lounge?"

She nodded, "Yea."

"Alright! Let's go!" Ninja started running ahead.

When they got there, Ninja slipped the door open a little and checked inside. He waved his hand behind him, and both he and Debbie entered.

Debbie flicked the light switch, but it didn't work. She frowned, "Do you have some light?"

Ninja reached into his belt, "Ninja glow balls!" He handed one to her, and held one in his own hand.

"Wow," Debbie commented, walking around and observing. She walked around the kitchen area, and checked the counters. "Hey Ninja, look; there's green goop evidence on the counters," She said, as she observed the substance.

"There's some here, too," Ninja said, and Debbie turned around to see him leaning over the tabl., "So can we assume that the problem started here?"

Debbie didn't reply, instead going over to the refrigerator and opening it up. She squinted her eyes for a moment to adjust to the light coming out of the machine. Right in the line of sight was a metal serving tray with a clear plastic cover over it, half filled with green goop.

After a quick scan over the rest of the fridge, Debbie found that it was empty except for the tray. She reached into the fridge and pulled it out, placing it onto the counter, "Look, Ninja. This must have been where the teachers got it from."

Ninja came over and looked at it. Debbie observed his eyes widening and then turned herself to look at the tray.

Atop the plastic lid of the container, a small quarter sized sticker sat. Debbie leaned forward and checked it.

Debbie gasped, "McFist Industries?!" Her head spun, "What, how- why is that there?!"

Ninja didn't say anything in reply to her.

Debbie stopped and breathed for a second, "Maybe it's just the container, it's McFist brand, right Ninja?"

Her breath hitched again when she glanced at him. He looked nervous as he met her gaze. "R-right Ninja...?" Debbie's voice cracked.

Ninja closed his eyes and stepped back, "I don't know."

Debbie's eyes widened but then she frowned hard, "You don't know?! Obviously you know something!"

"I do," Ninja answered solemnly, "It's just... I don't want to bother you with it. Let's just-"

"No!" Debbie interrupted, "Ninja, if this is important, I want to know. I need to know," She clenched her fist in front of her.

They stared each other down, until Ninja backed off and sighed, "Alright, I'll tell you. Hannibal McFist and his assistant Willem Viceroy are responsible for all the robot attacks that happen in Norrisville."

Debbie gasped, "What? Why?"

"They work for an evil sorcerer who is trapped under the school. The Sorcerer can turn emotional people into monsters with his green stank. McFist and the Sorcerer made a deal, that if McFist can destroy the Ninja, then the Sorcerer will grant McFist any superpower he wishes." Ninja explained calmly.

"What? McFist is after the Ninja because he wants superpowers?" Debbie asked in shock.

Ninja nodded, "Yup."

Debbie turned and processed his words, "Oh, wow okay. I, didn't realize it was complicated like this. I don't know what to say."

Ninja shrugged, "A lot of people don't."

"But why?" Debbie questioned, "I mean, why does McFist need all the teachers at Norrisville High anyways?" She clarified.

Ninja hummed in thought, but then turned to her with mischief in his eyes, "How about we give him a visit?"

~0~

McFist lounged back in his chair, studying the screens shown before him with a grin. Things were going nicely.

"Smokebomb!"

McFist shot up, stumbling on his chair as he spun around and stood up to stare at his unwelcomed guest.

"Ninja," McFist growled.

"McFist," Ninja nodded at him. McFist took notice of the girl who was with the Ninja, but didn't say anything, "I know what you're doing."

McFist crossed his arms, "Well, I don't know what you are talking about."

Ninja raised an eyebrow, "What's that you're watching on your screen there?"

McFist's eyes widened and he left out a shout as he jumped to the keyboard of the computer, pressing a button to make all the screens turn black.

"That doesn't change anything McFist. Admit what you're doing to the students and teachers at Norrisville High and maybe I'll let you off easy!" Ninja threatened.

"I said, I don't know anything!" McFist pressed on his innocnece.

They glared at each other in silence.

The door opened from the side of their face off, a voice speaking, "The plan is coming along nicely. The students are sick, and the teachers are- Ninja?!" Viceroy came walking through the doorway and froze.

"The teachers are what, Viceroy?" Ninja asked him with a serious tone.

Viceroy started stammering and backing away.

Ninja groaned and swung his scarf out, grabbing both Viceroy and McFist. He then threw his scarf up over a rafter up in the ceiling and pulled on it, resulting in the two men to dangle with their backs to each other wrapped in the Ninja's scarf.

"Hey!"

"Until I get answers, I'm not letting you go! Now confess!" Ninja shouted.

Viceroy shuffled within his bonds. "Don't think you're getting answers from us just yet, Ninja!" Suddenly, Ninja heard a beep of a button and the doors around them shot up. "Destroy him, Robo-Apes!"

Ninja gasped and looked around, "Always with the robo-apes..." He moaned. He quickly looked around the robots surrounding him and Debbie, who was with him. He couldn't drop McFist and Viceroy, because he only just got them up there, and he didn't get any answers from them yet.

He glanced at Debbie, who had a camera in her hand and was spinning it on its strap like a nun chuck. He didn't comment.

Ninja wrapped the scarf around his left arm to secure it so it wouldn't fly out of his grip and with his right arm he grabbed his sword, "Alright, come at me, Apes!"

They came forward, and Ninja started attacking them while jumping around and slashing his sword.

He was about to stab at a robot in front of him, when another came crashing into it. He quickly looked over and saw Debbie, who just hit it with her camera.

"Won't your camera get damaged?" Ninja asked, continuing to cut through the robots.

Debbie shrugged and hit another robot, "I have extras."

Soon, the rest of the robots were destroyed, and Debbie and Ninja stood in the middle of broken robot parts.

Ninja looked over at McFist and Viceroy still hanging in the air. McFist looked a little green as he swayed in the air. Apparently, his jumping around in the fight caused his scarf to be pulled up and down as well, "Are you ready to talk now?"

McFist groaned, "N-never..."

Ninja shrugged, "Okay."

Viceroy glanced down and raised an eyebrow, "Okay?"

"Yea," Ninja nodded, "I guess I'll just have to pull out my trump card." He waved his right hand.

Debbie stepped forward, "Debbie Kang, of the Norrisville High Gazette Times Tribute Weekly Daily Press Chronicles online edition." She lifted her camera to look like she was about to take a picture, "I think that this would make a great story. How's 'Hannibal McFaker' sound to you, Ninja?"

Ninja grinned, "I think 'McDestroy the Ninja' would be better."

"You told her?!" McFist shouted in shock.

Ninja just shrugged.

Debbie Kang pulled up her camera some more.

"No! I'll talk! I'll tell you the plan!" McFist shouted.

Debbie lowered her camera.

"Viceroy!" McFist shouted, "Tell him my plan!"

"Shouldn't you tell it to them, then?" Viceroy muttered, then sighed, "The plan was to get many students ill and to mind control the teachers."

"How'd you do it?" Ninja asked.

"We sent in a sick robot, to spread germs by coughing and sneezing everywhere and on others," Viceroy cringed, "It was so icky! And we got the teachers by hosting a lunch party for them by feeding them the mind control goo. Simple." He explained.

"Why did you do it?" Ninja asked, "I thought you were after me?"

Viceroy shook his head. "You tell him," He told McFist.

"No!" McFist refused. Ninja glared at him, and he eased, "It's because..." McFist mumbled the rest.

"What?" Ninja asked.

"Because the..." He trailed off mumbling again.

"Speak up," Ninja demanded.

"IT'S BECAUSE OF THOSE HIGH SCHOOL BRATS!" McFist shouted abruptly.

"What did they do?" Debbie asked calmly.

"They laughed at him," Viceroy answered.

Ninja face-palmed, "Oh gosh."

"Are you-" Debbie started, clearly annoyed.

"No," Ninja stopped her, then looked up at McFist, "Look McFist, you can't just start attacking people because they laughed at you!"

"Who says I can't!" McFist shouted back.

Ninja lowered them both to the ground and pulled away his scarf. "How about I get them to apologize to you?"

McFist shrugged.

"Okay... then how about you give me the cure to the teachers, and then I'll get you the apology after the students are better?" Ninja tried again.

"That's the same thing," Viceroy deadpanned.

McFist threw his arms up in the air, "Fine! Viceroy, give him the cure! But I want that apology!"

Viceroy started walking away with a mutter, but then came back with a tray of purple goo. "Here it is. But at this point they would more likely eat the green goo, so," Viceroy pulled out a bottle, and sprayed the purple goo until it turned green, "there. They should eat it now." He handed the plate to Ninja, "Have them eat it, and they'll get better."

Ninja took the dish, "And the students?"

Viceroy waved him off, "A regular cold, they'll get better naturally."

Ninja nodded, "Okay." He grabbed Debbie, "Smokebomb!"

"Don't forget your end of the deal!" McFist shouted into the smoke.

"Sir, he's gone."

"I know that!"

~0~

Ninja creeped forward down the dark hallway, Debbie walking behind him normally.

"So, you're going to leave it in front of the door, knock, and wait for them to take it in and eat it. Am I right?" Debbie questioned.

Ninja froze, then slumped over. "Yea..."

Debbie smirked.

He went to the door, and placed the plate down. He knocked on the door and, grabbing Debbie, jumped up above to the ceiling.

The door opened, and Principle Slimovitz came out, looking around. He glanced down and saw the plate, then picked it up and took it inside.

Ninja jumped down and both he and Debbie peered through the door's window to see the teachers gathered around the dish, eating. Ninja pressed his hand to his mouth, feeling his stomach churn in disgust.

They watched as the green glow from their eyes disappeared, and the smoke left the room. The teachers seemed to snap out of the trance they were in, and looked around in confusion, before starting for the door.

"That's our cue!" Ninja cried, and took hold of Debbie. "Smokebomb!"

~0~

"Everybody know what to do?"

The mass of students nodded, with various "yea's" ringing out.

"Good," Ninja nodded. Most of the students of NHS came back about 2 days after Ninja and Debbie cured the teachers.

A limo suddenly pulled up in front of the school and stepped out McFist in his pressed suit.

Ninja approached him for show.

"Let's get this over with, McFist," Ninja said softly, not wanting anyone to hear it.

McFist huffed, "Yes. Let's."

McFist went up in front of the school doors, where many students of the school stood on the ground, staring up at him.

"We apologize Mister McFist," Rang out through the air.

McFist nodded and smiled, "Yes, thank you students of Norrisville High. I accept your apology. I have heard that many of you had fallen ill a few days ago, and I hope that you all feel better. Now, I must get going, so have a great day!"

He stepped off the school and went back to the limo. Before entering though, he looked up and met eyes with the Ninja, his eyes narrowing.

Ninja glared back.

McFist entered the limo and left the premises.

Ninja sighed and shook his head, pulling out a ball from his belt. "Smokebomb."

~0~

"And maybe there are things that we don't quite understand about this almost mythical hero of Norrisville."

Debbie paused her writing, hearing a loud statement coming from outside. She stood up and went to look out the window. She saw the students around McFist as they apologized to him. Debbie scowled. There was no way she would be there. She noticed the Ninja standing off to the side, watching McFist.

Debbie sighed and moved back into her room. She spotted a cup she had on her desk; McFist brand. She glowered at it, then grabbed it, dropping it into her trash bin beside her desk. She didn't need it anymore. She would get rid of all of the McFist products she owned.

She looked up, and spotted her board of the Ninja's identity. She smiled softly, and glanced at the two pictures that she still had up; one of the Ninja in a fighting stance and the other of a tall purple haired teen in her English class.

Debbie went forward and pulled the two pictures off. With one last glance at them, she ripped them in half, and slowly let them fall into the trash. She knew he was familiar, but she could also keep it a secret.
