Sorry for the delay, I was working on Sword Quest because I love the Blacksmith but I was having trouble making a good episode so I settled with Nukid on the Block. Hope Y'all enjoy!
It was another day at Norrisville High, Randy and Howard were going to their Home Ec. class. (I swear it feels like Randy and Howard are taking more classes their freshmen year then I did when I was in high school.)
"This is big, Cunningham. First day of Home Ec. This is going to make us have class-fecta!"
"You have told me about this "class-fecta" several times on our way to school today. I don't get it. What's it about?"
"We are partners in Science, gym, Spanish, and lunch. Once we are baking buddings, ee will have freshman class-fecta! The first freshmen at Norrisville High to do so!" Howard told him excitedly.
Flute Girl walked by the two and told them, "You guys are idiots." Then she walked away.
Randy didn't understand the need for being partners in everything. They were only together in every class because the school thought he was a normal 15-year-old from Japan who lives with his aunt. However, Howard seemed excited about this so he should be too. They fist-bumped and did a weird dance before walking to their class.
Before entering the classroom, Howard opened his backpack and pulled out two chefs' hats and they had their names on them. "I took the liberty, hope you don't mind."
"Those are awesome! How did you get something like that?" Randy asked him.
"I have my ways."
Howard opened the door and told Randy, "After you, Chef Cunningham."
"Oh, no, no, no. Chef Weinerman, I insist."
The two tried to enter the room at the same time but they struggled to get in, but they did get in eventually. They walked to their desk as Mrs. Driscoll did announcements through Mr. Driscoll. "Greetings, fellow foodies."
"Mr. D's teaching a few classes, so he can take me on a tan line optional cruise." She then whispered to the students, "Don't tell him I know, it's supposed to be a surprise."
"That skeleton's gonna teach us how to cook?" Morgan asked. (Morgan is the dance team captain.)
"Well, she sure isn't. Look at me. I'm all bones!" Mr. Driscoll told her.
Bucky laughed at the joke. "Delicious zing, Mr. D."
"Before picking your baking buddies, I'd like to introduce our foreign exchange student. But your oven mitts together for the new kid, Franz Nukid."
Mr. and Mrs. Driscoll stared at the door and waited for Franz to enter the room. However, they were startled when they heard him say, "I am Franz. I was just enrolled in your education factory. Hallo." The class stayed quiet at Franz. To them, he seemed a little weird. "Now you say, "Hallo"." He held his finger out to the classroom and they all awkwardly said hello back to him.
"Hello."
"Hi."
"Or something."
"That was excellent "hallo"." Franz told them.
"That guys is so weird. What is up with that shoobtastic hat?" Howard asked Randy as Franz walked to an empty seat. Howard's hat deflated as Franz waved at them.
"Howard, he's new. Give him a chance. He's from Germany so his hat is probably something they wear where he is from. Course, I haven't been to Germany. I'm from Japan so being in America is probably weird for him, I know it was for me. Besides, not everybody has it as locked down as we do," Randy told him as they did air fist bumps.
"Let's get rolling. Time to pick your baking buddies," Mr. Diskcoll announced. Howard was bouncing up and down on his seat, he was ready to achieve freshmen class fecta. However, that excitement was about to go away as the Nomicon started to glow in Randy's backpack. Randy took off his hat and picked up his backpack.
"What are you doing?" Howard asked him.
"Ninja Nomicon. It's important."
"Nothing is more important than the class-fecta."
"Howard, just tell Mr. D we're partners. I don't have to be there for that. Right?"
Randy opened his backpack and was about to take the Nomicon out but Howard grabbed it first. "Just wait two seconds., buddy up with me, then go into the book."
"Howard, give me my master."
"No."
"Give me my master." The two fought over the Nomicon for a while.
"The class-fecta!"
"The class-fecta isn't a real thing!" Howard gasped as he let go of the Nomicon causing Randy to fall off of his chair. "I'm the Ninja. I have been the Ninja for over 800 years. It's my duty, but I would expect you to understand what it means to have a duty," Randy told him as he stood up.
"One, haha, duty. And, two... How dare you?" Howard crossed his arms and turned his back to Randy.
"Whatever." Randy crawled into the cupboard.
Randy was sitting on a scroll. "What the juice, Nomicon? Howard is so wrong on this one. Right?"
The most dangerous enemy often wears the mask of an ally.
Randy watched as a drawing of two ninjas were talking with each other but the ninja in brown threw a smoke bomb at the red ninja and the two started to fight.
"Master. Howard is my friend, sure, we fight and we just had a fight but he isn't an enemy." The two ninjas stared at Randy and Randy just asked nervously, "What's up?" They used their laser eyes to cut a hole under him and he fell down.
Randy returned to his body and hit his head on the top of the cabinet. "I will just look in the cabinet for the dill weed," Randy heard Franz say.
'Franz? What is he doing over here?'
Franz opened the door to the cabinet Randy was in and Randy fell out. "Hey, you found the dill weed," Howard told him.
"Hallo," Franz said as he stuck his finger in Randy's face. That's when Randy noticed that Franz was wearing his hat and his name was crossed out.
Randy pulled Howard to the side and asked, "Howard, why is Nukid, the new kid, wearing my hat?"
"What new kid? Oh, you mean my baking buddy, Franz!"
"Hallo. Now you say, Hallo," Franz said intruding on their conversation.
"You just blew the class-fecta on that guy?"
"Ho-ho! Looks who suddenly gives a squirt about the class-fecta."
An oven bell dinging took them away from their conversation. "Howard, the buns are ready, yah?" Franz told him as he took the buns out of the oven.
"Excuse me. I have buns to butter."
Howard proceeded to butter then buns with Franz meanwhile, Randy tried to hold in his frustration with Howard. No, he didn't care about the class-fecta but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about Howard. Eventually, Howard would get over his frustrations with him doing his duty of being the Ninja, he normally did.
In McFist Industries, a bunny, koala, and a weasel were in a small playpen hugging each other, playing, and looking cute. Viceroy was humming to himself as he picked up the weasel to look at it.
"What's with all the fuzz, Viceroy?" McFist asked as he walked into Viceroy's lab.
"Mother told me these shorts were too short."
McFist cringed at the sight of Viceroy's short shorts and his very hairy legs. "And I was talking about them." McFist gestured to the cute animals in the playpen.
"Oh, that. That's my latest plan to take down the Ninja." Viceroy returned the weasel to the playpen then he walked over to his computer.
"It doesn't seem very deadly," McFist mumbled to himself.
"It's the exact opposite of deadly," Viceroy told him as he put his lab coat on. He summoned his small robot which came flying in a heartbeat. The robot started to show several images as Viceroy was talking, "Through genetic engineering, I extracted the adorability of a bunny, the naiveté of a koala, and the weaselyness of a weasel. Then I encoded it into a robotic exchange student." The final image that the robot showed was of Franz Nukid.
McFist yawned. "I'm sorry. I must've checked out during the part where you talked about destroying the Ninja!"
"He's not a destroy-bot, he's a befriend-bot."
"Hallo," Franz said as he waved.
"Thanks to his extremely high LQ, or lovability quotient, my robot will have no trouble collecting voice samples from every student at Norrisville." An X-Ray of Franz showed that he has a mic in his index finger which is connected to his robotic brain. Viceroy snapped his fingers and a video of the Ninja showed itself. "Then we compare the voices to the sample we have on file for the Ninja."
"Say hello to my ninja eye poke! Say hello to my ninja eye poke!"
"Once we find a match we'll know who the Ninja is," Viceroy explained as McFist was petting the koala.
"And then we'll destroy him?" McFist asked with excitement in his voice.
"And then we destroy him."
"Ooh! This is my best plan yet!" McFist started shaking his hands in excitement which scared the koala half to death.
"Please, sir. You're scaring the koala." Viceroy grabbed the koala and returned him to the playpen.
Back at Norrisville, it's lunchtime and everyone was enjoying themselves. Bucky was sitting with his friends and was laughing. Flute Girl was talking with Theresa. "Makes me think some people can't..." Howard walked into the lunchroom, shoving past other students with Franz behind him. "...the way they say they can."
The group noticed the two approach them. "I'm Franz Nukid. Hallo, now you say, "Hallo"." Franz shoved his finger in Bucky's face.
"Uh! Oh, me? Hello?"
In Franz's robot brain, he analyzed Bucky's voice and it was not a match to the Ninja's voice.
"Excellent "hallo." You win!"
"I do? Hooray! I can't help but love this guy." Everyone laughed as Franz and Howard sat down.
"Howard, I wanted to talk about what happened... FRANZ!" Franz was sitting in front of next to Juggo and in front of Flute Girl. "Why is Nukid sitting in my seat?" Randy asked him.
"Oh, this is awkward. My ex- lunch partner just caught me with my new lunch partner. Franz is teaching us a fascinating game from his homeland. So Bruce!"
"Now you say "hallo"," Franz told Flute Girl.
"Hallo. Was that okay?"
"Okay? It was excellent "hallo"." Everyone laughed in amusement at Franz but Randy was not amused at all.
"Lunch partner?! I asked you what that even meant yesterday and you just said, someone who eats lunch with me. All of us eat lunch together, so how is Franz your new lunch partner? And game from his homeland? I'm from Japan. How have you never asked me anything about games from my homeland? How could you replace me with that guy?"
"Hey! You were busy with your big, fat, hairy old duty. But me not understand duty, me stupid. Me just want friend to eat with."
"I am not acting like the enemy here. Maybe my master was right! You are the enemy!"
"Well, maybe you should have lunch with your master!" Howard took Franz's hat and put it on his head. "I'm gonna go abuse my friend Franz's exchange student discount at the snack cart."
Randy and Howard were taken out of their fight when they heard Bash shout, "Hey! What are you supposed to be, huh? Tell me!" They turned around and saw Bash and Franz.
'Oh, man. This isn't going to be good,' Randy thought to himself.
Everyone gasped in fear at their school bully but Franz didn't even flinch. Juggo was so nervous, he was chewing on Julien's nails.
Bash did a threatening gesture with his fist and hand while Franz just said, "I am Franz Nukid. Hallo. Now you say "hallo"." Randy facepalmed himself. He knew Franz was from another country like him but even he knew when to back down from someone bigger than you until he got to know whether or not that they were a threat.
Bash just looked confused then just said, "Ha-llo."
"That was excellent "hallo." You win!"
"Yeah! I win. Ha! I love this guy. I don't know why, but I love him! Come here you little munchkin!" Bash gave Franz a noogie as everyone in the whole class cheered loudly.
Now Randy was confused. Bash rarely likes anyone he first meets. He didn't even like Randy when they first met. 'I wonder... my master may not approve of my friendship with Howard but he was never considered an enemy not even Akihito was considered an enemy. Mac Antfee was an enemy but not Howard. I wonder if it's Franz. Everyone liked him in a heartbeat with no fear. Sure, he seems nice but he keeps shoving his finger in everyone's face... I wonder.'
As Randy was thinking to himself, everyone in the cafeteria was doing the same thing Franz was doing, saying hallo and shoving their finger in someone's face. Someone nearly shoved their own finger in Randy's face and he almost flipped them on their back. 'Okay, this has gone on long enough. I have met people and creatures from all around the world and I have never seen someone do what Franz is doing.'
Annoyed with what everyone is doing and curious about Franz, he walked over to him, ready to confront him about everything.
"Check, one, two. Two. Check, check." Franz checked his mic and once Randy approached him and said, "Oh, hallo! Now you say "Hallo"."
"Franz, are you sure you're from Germany? I've met people from Germany and I've never seen a tradition of people shoving their finger in someone's face. We don't even do that in Japan. If it a part of your countries culture then maybe you should shove your finger in everyone's face and ask them to see "Hallo" to everyone. Besides, I know we can share Howard as a friend, he just needs to get over this "class-fecta" thing."
In Franz's robotic brain, he analyzed Randy's hello to his recording of the Ninja. "Say hello to my ninja eye poke." Ninja Idenifided.
"Hallo, Ninja."
Randy's stomach dropped at what Franz said. "What did you just say?"
"I said, hello, Ninja."
Randy gasped. 'How did he find out?!'
Back in Viceroy's lab, McFist was watching the computer that transmitted data from Franz. He was petting the bunny while waiting for any information about the Ninja's identity. "Ninja identified."
"WHO IS IT?!" McFist asked the computer after throwing the rabbit.
"Ninja identified."
"I heard you the first time, who is it?" McFist shouted as he shook the computer hard.
"Ninja identified."
"Who is the ninja?"
"Ninja identi...fied." McFist punched the computer shutting it down completely. McFist knew he was in trouble one he removed his fist from the broken computer screen.
Viceroy ran into the room and shouted, "I just got an alert! The Ninja's been..." Viceroy saw the destroyed computer screen and MfFist reading a magazine that clearly belonged to his wife. "Oh, Hannibal, you didn't."
"It was like this when I found it..." McFist threw the magazine away from him and shouted, "Send the chainsaw werewolves to retrieve Franz."
"But I can rebuild the Franz later..."
"SEND IN THE CHAINSAW WEREWOLVES!"
Back at school, Randy was trying to convince Franz that he wasn't the Ninja. "But I'm not the Ninja. I'm just a normal 14-year-old from Japan who lives with his Aunt."
Howard walked by at this time, which made the situation worse. "But you are the Ninja, I know this."
Howard spit out the food in his mouth then said, "You told Franz? I can't believe you're trying to jack my BFF."
"Howard, I didn't tell him anything! He just figured it out somehow," Randy shouted at him then turned back to Franz and told him, "Franz, okay? You can't tell anybody."
"But I must, it is my duty."
Howard laughed. "Ah, duty."
A red laser made a circle through the ceiling and a mechanical claw pulled it off revealing McFist's airship. By this time, all the other students fled in fear as chainsaw werewolves came down to get Franz.
"Oh, hallo."
"Take him to McFist."
One of the werewolves grabbed Franz and they started to flee. "They're Franz-napping him!"
"McFist can force him to give up my true identity. This kid doesn't know how much trouble he's in." Randy ran into a bathroom then quickly ran out the moment he saw that he entered the girl's room. "Sorry!" He ran to the boy's bathroom and put on his ninja suit. Randy took out three ninja ring the moment he got out of the bathroom. "NINJA RINGS!" Randy threw the rings causing the werewolves to fall to the ground. Franz got up off the floor and walked away from the fight. Clearly, they were not happy with their plans being foiled so they got ready to attack him.
Randy threw his sais at two of the werewolves but the other one used his rocket feet to fly towards Randy. Randy watched the flying pattern of the werewolf and once he flew towards Randy, he jumped up and landed on the werewolf. He forced the werewolf to crashed near the lunch lady who dropped her pot of chili which melted the poor robot like liquid metal. Randy looked at the lunch lady who just shrugged like this was normal. Some chili had gotten up in the air and landed on Franz's face.
Randy walked over to him and told him, "See, Franz. This is why you shouldn't know my secret. It puts you in danger."
Franz turned around revealing his half-robot face. "No, Ninja. It's you who is in danger."
"You're a robot?" Randy and Howard said shocked.
"The most dangerous enemy often wears the mask of an ally. You're the enemy my master was warning me about."
Howard cleared his throat then asked, "Anything you'd like to say to me?" Before Randy could retort Franz punched him hard enough to make him flew across the room and land on a table.
Viceroy took the chewed gum from his mouth and used it to fix a wire. With some pipes, wires, plutonium, and the bunny running on a wheel, Viceroy had fixed the computer. "There. We can still download the Ninja's true identity." Viceroy waited in suspense before pushing the button.
"Well push it!"
Viceroy pushed the button and the data from Franz started to upload.
Randy jumped off the table and took out his Manrikigusari as Franz ran toward him with inhuman speed. Franz used his arms to block Randy's attack from his spinning Manrikigusari, his fake skin started to peel off and he watched as McFist was getting his data. "McFist is uploading my data. I win!"
Franz grabbed the Manrikigusari and threw him through another door that leads to one of the more dangerous rooms in the school. Randy looked down at the hot boiling chili beneath him. 'Luckily, I can die but man, healing will take weeks even with the Art of Heal.
Franz charged through the room with no hesitation and was ready to kill Randy. "Goodbye, Ninja!" Franz tried to push Randy into the vat of chili and in the process, he was also choking him. "Now you say goodbye."
"Hey, Nukid."
Franz turned around and Howard hit him with a metal lunch tray. His face was imprinted into the tray and Franz asked, "Hello, Howard. What are you doing?"
Howard backed up in fear as Franz walked closer to him. "I wouldn't expect you to understand this 'cause you're a robot, but I also have a duty as a friend. Also, haha, duty."
Once Randy managed to get himself up, he grabbed Franz with his scarf and threw him down into the boiling chili. As Franz melted away, all he kept saying was "hallo" until he was gone.
"Well, I guess you have to know the difference between your Franz and your enemies," Randy joked.
Howard didn't laugh though, "Ugh, too soon, Ninja, too soon."
Viceroy and McFist waited in front of the computer to get the identity of the Ninja. "The Ninja's identity is..." Seconds before the results could show itself, the connection was lost. "Transmission terminated." Then the computer shut down.
In anger, McFist accidentally started to crush the weasel in his hand. "Sir, please release the weasel." Viceroy grabbed the weasel and left McFist alone.
The next day in Home Ec. class, Randy and Howard were making a cake. "Howard, I may not get the whole "class-fecta" thing, and just because I don't think it's all that important, it matters to you so I should care. I've been the ninja for over 800 years and I've never had other responsibilities like this: going to school, doing homework, and being friends with you. But I realized something, I have two duties. My ninja duty and a best friend duty."
Howard looked like he was holding in his laughter but Randy told him, "No, you can laugh. I did say "duty" a lot."
"You did! You said it like 100 times! It was awesome!" Howard slammed down the mixing bowl in excitement.
"Hey, so what do you say? Baking buddies?" Howard smiled and handed Randy back his chef's hat which had Franz's name crossed out and Randy's name back on it. Randy put it on. "CLASS-FECTA!" The oven dinged and Howard took out the tray that he smashed Franz's face into. Randy put a small dot of red icing into the cake's eye and as Flute Girl walked by she told them, "You guys are idiots." Then she walked away.
Okay, that's it for now. Again sorry for the late update, school is keeping me busy and my schedule is crazy. Until then, don't forget to fav, follow, and review, please. Bye! :)
