I don't own Randy Cunningham 9th grade ninja in any way, shape, or form
I wish I wasn't this stubborn. If I wasn't then I would be willing to ask the Nomicon and Time Mel if they could switch back. I can't do that though because that requires telling Randy I was wrong. I won't do that until we switch back. Now that I think about it, this is kinda like switching powers except we still have our powers, but we don't have the one who can tell us how to use them. I still think switching powers or weapons is worse than switching bodies, me and one of my best friends have this debate about which is worse. Anyway, that's beside the point, I mostly miss Time Mel because she makes me feel less lonely. Because I need to constantly be going to different worlds, I keep ending up being alone most of the time aside from the people I team up with. Time Mel gives me someone to talk to even if there's no one else around me. Right now, it's the worst time because it's the weekend. Sure, I hang with Randy and Howard, but if Randy and I aren't fighting robots or monsters, I kinda feel like I'm third wheeling. I mean I wouldn't even consider Howard my friend, I mean I always try to be as nice as possible he just always pushes my buttons, and makes me lose my temper. I try not to get angry, and I warned both of them at the beginning not to push me, but he always keeps making me want to rip him apart. Like right now, he's saying all this stupid stuff, and bringing up all my screw ups this week, normally Randy would be chewing him out by now, but he hasn't said anything yet. I brought it up, telling him that he could do better than Howard as a friend, but he just said that he acknowledged that Howard was being a jerk but that I was overreacting. Then Howard said something that went too far. I mentioned to them before that someone that I cared a lot about in a past incarnation was killed because of me, just because I existed. That was the first thing to ever break me, it caused me to get a temper and cause my self-blame issues. Howard said that he could understand why she got killed. I could tell that Randy told him that what he said crossed the line, but I ran as soon as I heard Howard say that. I was upset yes, but I mostly ran because I knew I might've attacked Howard if I didn't. This wasn't how it's supposed to happen, Randy was supposed to stand up for me, he's my partner, but as always, he took Howard's side over mine.
I ran until I was curtain that no one would be able to find me. I didn't want to talk to Randy right at that moment. At that moment the Nomicon decided to butt in. I was tempted to just ignore it, but I did need the company right now. I shloomped in and I saw a doodle ninja fighting a doodle dragon. The dragon surrounded the ninja with fire. The ninja tried to put it out by spinning a bo staff, but it ended up lighting on fire too. The ninja then threw his bo staff at the dragon, but it hit the fireproof scales, not the more vulnerable exposed neck. The dragon picked up the ninja throwing him into a lake, then words appeared above the lake "'a ninja should not let the heat of the moment distract them from the battle at hand' I-I think I get that. I shouldn't let my anger cloud my judgement, b-but Howard's the one that went too far this time." I told it. After that the dragon threw me into the lake as well and I came back to reality. I started thinking that maybe I should find Randy to calmly talk to him about what just happened. I was about to start looking for him, but then my time vibes, which is my energy vibrating to warn me of danger, started going crazy. I tensed up and started looking for what might've been the cause of this. To be honest I was scared mostly because I was alone, why do I always have to run into the creepy alleys? I could feel my heart drop when I saw who caused my energy to react. I didn't think I was ever going to see this guy again; I didn't even know how it was possible for him to be here right now. "Y-you, you can't be here. This, this isn't possible." I said in fear. "You're surprised, Time Master? I did say I would come back for you." he responded taking a step closer. I flinched back immediately aiming my energy at him "d-don't come any closer, Autar, I'm, I'm not scared to use my energy anymore." I said while shaking. I've had nightmares about this guy coming back for a long time. Before him, I would be fine with the idea of splitting up, but something happened involving him that now scares me from doing that. Autar is a scientist that had captured me and experimented on me for three days before my friends found me. He also happens be a descendent to one of the people who caused to forget everything before the medallions existed. He's supposed to be locked up on my earth, he shouldn't be here. Autar kept getting closer to me, and for some reason I couldn't get my energy fire no matter how hard I tried. I started to stagger backwards not wanting this guy to touch me. I ended up backing into a wall, and he grabbed my arm which caused my energy to disappear. I look at him in absolute horror because that shouldn't be possible. He seemed to know what I was thinking because he smiled creepily "you think I would do tests on a medallion master without some contingences in place to make sure they don't attack me?" he asked rhetorically "I injected you with un-detectable nanobots, so small that no normal microscope would able to see them, designed to prevent you from inflicting any harm on me." this was terrifying, that means I am incapable of getting out of this without help. I know it's wishful thinking, but somewhere deep inside I want to find out Randy followed me and will get me out of this situation.
He made me remove anything I had that could contact anyone else. Because I'm good with tech, I had a lot. The only thing I could think of to help me get away is somehow distracting Autar, and using my agility to get to the rooftops. The only problem is that he's standing only a few centimetres in front of me, he'd grab me before I'd even get a chance. Once I was done with that, he grabbed my arms and put them into these really durable cuffs, made with the same material he used last time. I can't break them, and I can't go intangible through them. All I need is an opportunity to run, while I'm cornered, I can't do anything, but if I'm out in the open I might be able to get away. As Autar was pulling me out, I noticed that the Nomicon was still on the ground. I completely forgot to put it away when my time vibes activated, that means not only do I not have my friends with me, but I also don't even have my temporary mentor. I would give up anything to just have Time Mel with me, I just hope nothing too bad happens... who am I kidding, I know something really bad is going to happen. Especially since Autar hasn't let go of me at all since we left that means there's no chance to run. I'm snapped out of my thoughts when he speaks to me "wow, I can't believe you've been quiet this how time, what happened to all your quips from before?" he whispered laughing at me. I looked away not wanting to show him how scared I was. He stopped walking and grabbed my chin to made me look at him "now, now Time Master, don't think you get to ignore me after everything. Get used to this, you don't have anyone who can save you this time." he threatened. I still kept silent for a few minutes, but then I noticed that he was not letting go of my chin. I knew he wants me to respond "and what do you expect me to say, you think I'm just going to make jokes about how you affected me, pretending that I've moved on and no longer terrified. News flash, I only do that when I know that I can defend myself, if I can't hurt you then what's the point?" I snapped at him. He looked angry at me and I tried to move away, but then he decided to keep going and I relaxed. It looked like we were about to go somewhere more populated, but I knew he wasn't stupid, he's crazy but not stupid, I knew that he had another route in mind. The was a keypad on the wall, and he put in a code which I paid attention to just in case it would help me. After that, part of the wall opened up, and I saw stairs going down. This makes me wonder how long he's been here just waiting to get this all ready. He leads me down the stairs, and I kept looking at my only chance of freedom slip away. We got to where I guessed my cell would be, and he threw me in. There was nothing in it other than some equipment I rather not go into detail on, I guess he'd use the stuff to torture me later. He then grabbed a chain, and connected on end to the wall, and the other end to the cuffs. I guess he did that to make sure I couldn't run because I wouldn't be able to hurt him so he wouldn't need to keep a distance. He then just left me there, that's just rude, he captured me for the second time and he just leaves me alone in a cell. I guess I'm going to have to entertain myself until I find out what's going to happen to me.
I started pacing around the cell as much I could with being chained to the wall. I already tried pulling at the chain, but it seems to be as durable as the cuffs. I thought it would at least snap off the wall. I started thinking about what if someone other than Randy finds the nomicon, what would happen if some else finds it and discovers who the ninja is, way to go Time Master. After I would say 20 minutes Autar returned, and disconnected the chain from the wall, but instead of pulling the chain, he pulled the cuffs directly. I was taken to a place that reminded me of a conference room, but it only had one chair with a bunch of green smoke in front of it. Wait a minute, green smoke, that's not smoke, that's stank. I realised that the Sorcerer might find out who I am, and through me the ninja too. Not only that, he could tell McFist, and he'd constantly send robots after me. I started to struggle as much as I could to get away, but because I can't hurt Autar, it feels like I'm not struggling at all. He noticed and turned back to me "relax Time Master, I made sure he would not reveal your identity to anyone else, nor would he attack you directly if you somehow manage to escape." he told me. It weirded me out because it seemed like he was protecting me, and I gave him a shocked look. "don't think for a second I'm doing this because I care, not a chance Time Master, I just don't want any competition." he said in response to my confusion. He chained me between the chair and the stank, not letting me use the chair, then again it did look too comfy for it to be for a captive. Next thing I knew the Sorcerer's face appeared through the stank. I moved as far away from him as the chain allowed me, thinking maybe he'd believe I'm a normal person, and beat Autar for me. The Sorcerer looked confused when he saw me making me believe it was working, but unfortunately, I think he saw the medallion "the Time Master is a child, Autar, are you telling me the one who has helped the ninja thwart my plans is a mere child?" he shouted. Autar, who has taken the seat behind me, pushed me forward with his foot "yes, she appears young, but she has been alive for longer than either of us. Medallion masters are semi-mortal, so when they die, they regenerate." Autar told him. I saw the Sorcerer smile "if this works, this will destroy the ninja and finally free me. This will be the best revenge." he said gleefully. I am starting to really get annoyed with the two of them talking around me. "if this is about the ninja, what does this have to do with me?" I asked reminding them of my existence. The two of them started evilly laughing together "you really have no idea what will happen, do you Time Master?" the Sorcerer said menacingly. "of course I don't know, scientist junior here didn't do the 'I'm evil blah, blah' speech, then just locked me in a cell for 20 minutes. Let me guess, you're gonna do the speech now then I'll figure out how to escape, and take you both down with the knowledge I'll possess. That's how it usually goes down." I mockingly responded. I saw Autar grab something that looked like a syringe, and jabbed it in the back of my neck. "close, except you won't be escaping." he told me, but it sounded all fuzzy. My vision started diming then I blacked out.
When I came to, I noticed something was different. I was back in my cell, but something felt different. I tried to get up, but I couldn't no matter how hard I tried. After a moment of struggling to move, my body just moved on its own. Wait a minute, am I not in control of myself, but I feel like me. I could also make subtle movements. I don't know what Autar did to me, but it can't be good. As soon as I thought of him, he walked in. I felt my body charge at him, only stopping because of the chain "what have you done to me!?" I yelled, but I didn't yell it. I would've messed with him by trying to have a civilised conversation about this. "oh, I separated your mind from your body, or should I say your body from your mind since only the body can communicate with me." he answered. That means I'm just the mind, does that mean that the body with only react through emotions or is it- "change me back right now!" did I just interrupt myself? I guess I wouldn't know what I'm thinking right now. "not going to happen Time Master, you see we're trying to get stank into you, but because you're an off-worlder and a medallion master, there are side effects in doing this." Autar explained. Are they trying to stank me? There's got to be a way to stop "you can't stank me, and I will never do what you want." it's really hard to complete a chain of thought when I keep interrupting myself. "oh, I know physically altering your body isn't possible, but you would react primarily on your anger. All I have to do is convince you to attack the ninja, and no rational thought would be able to stop you." he continued. He's probably right, when I get angry, I don't think rationally, or think at all. Randy's in danger if I can't link back with my body. Right now, I just hope my body doesn't do anything "I'll never betray Randy" stupid... why did I have to say that? now Autar knows who Randy is. Randy is going to kill me for my body being an idiot, I feel like I am looking through Howard's because of that "the ninja will know it's not me fully, he would know how to get me back. When I do, I'll throw you back to my earth maybe in prehistoric times" I know it's fun to annoy the bad guys, but there's a time and a place, and this is neither of those. I don't want my body to get angrier to be on the safe side. "your mind is probably screaming at you right now." YES I AM YOU SHOOB "revealing who the ninja is and pushing me, there's no way it could be happy. I also know that Randy won't be thinking of helping, don't you think he would've by now if he still cared. He's probably more interested in siding with the idiot." wait, this means that he already knew Randy was the ninja, I mean it would make sense since Autar had to of been here awhile, he's probably been watching me. He kept saying bad things to my body about Randy, and making me (my body) angrier at him. I figured out how to beat him awhile back, I couldn't attack him directly so what if I made something else hit him. My body wasn't thinking of that at all, and at its last moment before breaking it tried attacking him and I'm just wanting to be in control again... oh this is what the nomicon was referring to. I was released, but my body was fully intending on taking Randy down, and I can't do anything to stop it.
Time for another yearly update, to be honest I kind of forgot that I hadn't wrote anything for this story until about a week ago. I'm also planning on doing a backstory for Autar in the future, but because of the fact that the Time Master is a time traveller I want to give people reading my fics the feeling of time traveling. All fics that I make would also take place in the same universe, just on different worlds.
