Angel: I was one of the unfortunate people to have a power outage today because of Hurricane Zeta, so that's the main reason why I updated so late. It kept coming back and then shutting down twice for a very short period of time. This is the third time it's been back on, and it better stay that way! *points to fuse box accusingly* You better stay on, bitch XD Sorry for cursing, but it's deserved this time!

There's also a very significant scene reminiscent of a certain couple from Miraculous in this episode *wiggles fingers together* Heh heh heh!

Ninja holds out his hand. "Smoke bomb!" He and Kunoichi are standing in the catwalks of the school auditorium. Ninja laughs as the two fall, dispersing the smoke once they land. They hold out their hands, letting the crowd cheer for them. The curtain behind them moves to reveal Howard and Heidi. Heidi is at a desk while Howard is sitting in a chair.

"Welcome to the 800th Annual Norrisville Ninja Day, and our first Kunoichi day since the year of 1985!" Heidi announces, pumping her fists. The two run around, giving high-fives to the front of the crowd. Kunoichi waves to them with a smile on her face.

"I'm your host, hey-yo, Heidi Weinerman," She gestures to herself. "With me, because my mom said I had to, is Howard," She rolls her eyes.

"Double Dip!" He exclaims and Heidi leans in towards him.

"Nobody even remembers that. And give it up for the Bucky Hensletter orchestra," She gestures to Bucky on the triangle, who's humming a tune. "Now pound your palms for Norrisville's favorite hero duo, the Ninja and Kunoichi!"

They wave as they walk past her desk, and Ninja gestures Howard to move. He moves to the rightmost seat and the two sit side-by-side.

"Love you, Ninja and Kunoichi!"

"And I love you!" Ninja points to whoever shouted that, causing Kunoichi to chuckle.

"Thank you!" Kunoichi calls out to him. Ninja runs up to the crowd again and she rolls her eyes in amusement.

"It's an all-dizzle cele-brizzle of N-Ville's resident bacon savers!"

"Look at them up, peacocking like they deserve this!" McFist grunts, gesturing to the TV screen he's watching this on.

"We totally deserve this!" Ninja hollers as he's crowd-surfing. Kunoichi is doing the same as she smiles, waving to the students.

"Ninja and Kunoichi Day! They're so busy buying their own hype they'll never see us coming," McFist pushes away the screen. "How's it going down there, Viceroy?"

His pants are made out of robotic armor with white, yellow, and red accents. Viceroy is just putting the finishing touches.

"Done. You're welded into your pants," He lifts up his goggles with a tiny smile.

"So...if I said I had to pee-"

Viceroy puts a belt around him and presses a button, forming the upper part of the armor. There's a yellow lightning bolt over the chestplate. "I'd say don't," He places a hand on McFist's shoulder. The Sorcerer suddenly appears, startling both of them.

"McFist, why have you summoned me?" He demands the business man.

"We're just about to kick off my latest plan," McFist steps forward with a grin. "I call it...what do I call it?"

"Operation Replace the Ninja and Kunoichi With Lucius O'Thunderpunch So the Students of Norrisville Will Abandon Them and Put Their Faith in the Wrong Hero thus Rendering them Helpless When the Sorcerer Strikes While Also Driving a Wedge Between Ninja and Kunoichi," Viceroy explains, holding an arm for the armor. The robo-ape glances at him, giving his boss a look.

Both McFist and the Sorcerer are silent at the...long and unnecessary name.

"I don't know, it feels a little wordy," McFist taps his chin.

"I like it," The Sorcerer grins and this changes McFist's tune.

"I love it! Suit me up!" He holds out his hands, and his left arm goes through the piece of arm. The right arm is a little bit harder since it's robotic, but the robo-ape eventually gets it through. McFist beams before the head is placed over him. He looks at his body, punching the ground. "Now we're talking!"

The Sorcerer grins while Viceroy claps his hands.

Footage of the Ninja and Kunoichi is being played of their moves and fights. "This isn't only about me," Ninja brags, gesturing to himself. "I mean, I couldn't save you if you didn't always need saving. And I couldn't have done it without my partner, Kuno!"

The crowd gasps as Heidi smiles. "Double dip!" Howard shakes their shoulders.

"It's super obvi that you and Kuno are very close!"

"Close biffers, yes," Kunoichi glances at Ninja with a smile.

"We do still have to keep our bruce identities a secret," Ninja grins, hands behind his back.

"So a lot of your fans think of you as a couple!" Kunoichi and Ninja flinch at Heidi's exclamation.

"What?!" Both of them shout in surprise. Howard chuckles to himself.

"It'd be pretty hard not to."

"Shut up!" The two hiss at their friend.

"But it is obvious!"

"Stop talking!" Kunoichi points at him.

"So can you confirm that you two are totally a Ninja couple in front of everyone on Ninja and Kunoichi Day?" Heidi smiles at the cheering students. Kunoichi glances between her and the crowd, feeling nervous. It is true that she does have...feelings for Randy and the Ninja, but they were still friends first. She definitely doesn't wanna jeopardize that. It might be her and Ninja's day, but it was definitely not the time to really discuss stuff like that.

"W-We're obviously...not," Kunoichi chuckles awkwardly, feeling like sinking into the floor. "I mean, that's such a personal question."

"Yeah! Um, let's get back to celebrating our accomplishments as heroes!" Ninja decides to change the subject.

"Okay, I get the picture," Heidi smiles a bit in amusement, and they're both relieved she didn't heckle them. "Ninja, Kunoichi, you can not be any Brucer which is why..." She points to the principal approaching, and he's holding a plague in his hand.

"The Ninja of the Year award goes to..." Ninja crosses his fingers, looking at Howard in excitement. Suddenly a chainsaw robot appears behind the crowd and the principal points at it. "Giant robot!"

The crowd gasps as they turn to look at it. "What? Giant robot? But he wasn't even nominated!" Ninja protests and Kunoichi shakes her head.

"No, giant robot!" She points up ahead at the robot.

"Oh," His eyes widen in realization. The robot slices off lamp posts. "We're on it!" Ninja grabs Kunoichi's hand and they run past the principal. "Keep that plaque warm for me, P-Slimmy." Then they run off the stage.

"I hate it when the students call me that. But when you say it, Ninja, it just works. Kunoichi, can you call me P-Slimmy too?" He clasps his hands with a pleading look. The two stop in their tracks as she looks over her shoulder.

"Ooh, I mean, we do have a robot to deal with..."

"Oh come on," Ninja elbows her with a grin. "You know you wanna."

"Okay...P-Slimmy," She says with an amused smile. They jump over the students together.

"You go, Ninja and Kunoichi!"

They jump off Bash's head in unison. "Yeah, Ninja and Kunoichi stepped on my head!" He cheers at this. They take out their weapons as they leap towards the robot. Ninja grabs the neck with his chain sickle and they're about to battle it when missiles hit the robot out of nowhere. This causes both of them to fall. Kunoichi rolls to a stop nearby as they both look up.

"What the missile?" Ninja holds his head, and they look up towards the stage to see McFist in his armor.

"I know you could've handled that, Ninja and Kunoichi," He speaks with a robotic voice so that nobody recognizes him. "Just thought I'd lend a hand...cannon." His hand cannons turn back into arms.

"Mysterious hero zing!" Bucky grins at him.

"And you are...?" Ninja asks as the partners walk up to him quizzically.

"Lucius O'Thunderpunch, at your service!" Two cannons appear from his back, firing into the air. Confetti falls around everyone and they cheer.

"What kinda...?" Kunoichi murmurs in puzzlement.

"Lucius O'Thunderpunch, that's not a real name," Ninja shakes his head in denial.

"Why it must be, it's all over these pre-shrunk vintage tees," The cannons still on his back fire t-shirts. They all have 'I've been Thunder Punched!' all over them, along with Lucius' face. Ninja and Kunoichi jump onto the stage.

"Hey, so you probably don't know this, but it's kind of our day," Ninja points to him and Kunoichi. "Her first one since, you know, there hasn't been a Kunoichi in a long time to have one!"

"Oh, right, here, have a hat," He places a Thunder Punched hat on both of their heads. Kunoichi takes it off to read the print. He then faces the crowd to take in the glory.

"Can we get back to Ninja and Kunoichi Day?" Ninja walks up to Principal Slimovitz. "I believe we were in the middle of accepting a beautiful plaque."

"Viceroy, initiate phase 2," McFist whispers into the intercom.

"Coming right up, or should I say down?" Viceroy snickers at the joke, but McFist doesn't look so amused. Suddenly, a flaming comet falls from the sky somehow, causing the crowd to gasp.

"That's a honkin' comet!" Heidi shouts, pointing up at it.

"This one's an old favorite of mine," Ninja moves his hands around while Kunoichi takes out her hair. "Ninja Air Fist."

"O'Thunderpunch Comet Stopper," Lucius fires a huge blast from his blaster that appeared on his back, causing a massive explosion. McSquiddles fall down from the blast of the comet, which is what it was made out of.

"He saved us, with flavor!" Bash calls out from the crowd.

"Uh, thanks," Ninja approaches him on stage, Kunoichi staring at Lucius suspiciously. At the back of her mind, she couldn't help but wonder just where he came from... "But we had that."

"Ooh, sorry. Just trying to help," He shrugs cluelessly.

"I don't need help. I'm the Ninja," Ninja states, pointing to himself. He flinches nervously once he sees Kunoichi's crossed arms and glare towards only him. "N-Not that I hate being a team. I don't! I meant, I don't need anyone's help but yours!"

"Looked like you needed help," Howard calls out unhelpfully from his chair. He throws a McSquiddle into his mouth.

"Look, whatever happened, happened," Kunoichi interjects to her partner, hands on her hips. "At least other heroes are doing their share in Norrisville. It means we inspired someone to help out these people like us!" She gestures to the crowd, who cheers for her opinion.

"Ooh, why thank you, Kuno," Lucius bows to her, McFist grinning that she's supposedly on his side.

"Look, I don't know who you are or where you came from, but Norrisville already has heroes, us! And no one else calls her Kuno," Ninja brags to him.

"Hey, buddy, we're all on the same team, eh, buddy," He wraps an arm around Nina and gives him a noogie. "Maybe you should listen to your partner here."

"We are not a team!" Ninja pushes him away and Kunoichi pulls him away slightly by the arm.

"Ninja, calm down."

But he accidentally set off Lucius' cannon and it hits the principal's car, destroying it into bits. "Ninja, you blew up my car!" Principal Slimovitz exclaims in disbelief.

"But I—it was his!" Ninja groans out of frustration.

"He's really sorry," Kunoichi glances at Ninja.

"Don't worry. I'll fix it," Something falls out of his chest and into his hand. He throws it at the car, turning it back to the way it was, all shiny and it even looks new.

"Oh wow," Kunoichi blinks while Ninja glares in jealousy.

"Good as new, Slim-diggity," Lucius places his hands on his hips.

"I like that even better than P-slims," He comments to Ninja's ire. He groans, watching Lucius giving high-fives to the crowd.

"Ninja, don't do anything you'll regret," Kunoichi whispers to him and he turns to her.

"Why are you defending him?"

"Whoa, whoa, hey," She recoils back in slight shock. "I'm not defending him. I'm only saying that it's good that there are other heroes. Because whether we work well together or not, we also have to be civil about this kind of thing. Or else we'll be seen in a bad light. You wouldn't want that, would you?"

"Until today, we didn't even have worry about this kind of thing!" He mutters as he watches Lucius run around. "Will you stop that? It's not your day, it's my day!"

The crowd gasps at what he said, Kunoichi looking at him wide-eyed. She covers her mouth in disbelief and his eyes widen at her look. "I-I meant our! I totally wanna share it with you and not soak up the glory myself!"

"Ah, not with that attitude, it isn't," Principal Slimovitz looks at him in disapproval. "I present the Ninja of the Year plaque to...Lucius O'Thunderpunch!"

"Ooh!" He takes it with excitement.

"Oh, but he's not even a Ninja!" Ninja stammers, pointing at him.

"No plaque necessary. For me, it's not about that," Lucius uses his laser eyes on the plaque so he can put it on his chest. "For me, it's about free fro-yo!" He fires the fro-yo cannon at the students, hitting their faces with it.

Ninja scoffs, shaking his head. "No one's gonna fall for that." He then sees Howard's mouth in the cannon. "Howard!" The cannon fires, sending Howard flying. "I protect this school every honkin' day. These people love me—I mean, us! No way O'Thunderpunch is stealing my thunder—our!"

Kunoichi stays silent, her arms still crossed. "I-I mean us..."

"Newsflash, he doesn't," O'Thunderpunch tells her and Ninja growls at him.

"You know what, I'm gonna make this whole lot easier for you," She tells her so-called partner and turns around, walking off stage.

"Kuno, wait!" He runs after her, and she doesn't listen to him.


A fire extinguisher robot is sent to the school to cause chaos, firing ironically flames at all the students.

"Come on, Ames, you know I didn't mean it," Randy stammers to the silent Amy outside the gym. "You're great! You deserve the glory too. We gotta go!"

"You can handle this yourself," She places her hands on her hips. "You wanted all the glory, and now you can earn it on your own!"

"But I can't do it without you! You mean much more to me than all...that..." He glances away sheepishly and she can still by his look at he still wants the people to love only him. She shakes her head and stomps off. He groans, sagging his shoulders.

"Smoke bomb!" He appears and lands in front of the robot, prepared to stop it. However, it gets frozen right in front of him. "What the juice?" He asks in confusion before it's punched to pieces by Lucius O'Thunderpunch.

"Thunderpunch!"

"Did somebody say snow cone?" He turns one pile of ice into pink, cones appearing on the pile. He holds one up, shining his plaque still on his chest.

"Pretty sure nobody said snow cone," Ninja says to the cheering crowd that ignores him. Howard walks up to him.

"Nobody didn't say it," He grins up at his friend. "You got tooti-fruity in that thing, O'T.P?" He walks up to the robot giving out the snow cones.

"Oh! He is stealing my thunder!" Ninja stomps his foot.


"Come on...!" Randy complains to Amy in the library. She's doing some of her homework. "I need your help!"

"So I can get more people to love only you?" She asks thinly, a hand on her cheek.

"You didn't even doubt this until O'Thunderpunch came along," He holds up his hands in disbelief. "Do you really think I'm in this just so you can get me more glory? It's Ninja Day! I mean Ninja and Kunoichi Day, why do I keep doing that?"

"Gee, I don't know, Ran," She retorts, closing her book and walking away. "But if that's the case between us, then maybe Norrisville doesn't need the Kunoichi anymore."

"What?!" He whispers in horror, holding his head.

Amy steps into the girls' bathroom and sighs, pulling out her Kunoichi Nomicon. "What do I have to do, Kunoichi Nomicon? I can't take it with my partner taking me for granted anymore," An annoyed look hits her face. "And everyone seems to be preferring O'Thunderpunch...I was glad about other heroes, but not if people like his fro-yos and car fixing and snow cones."

She watched Heidi's newscast for that last one. The book sucks her inside and she falls onto the ground.

Once she gets back on her feet, she sees two doodle Ninjas battling an enemy. When they defeat him together, they put their weapons down.

"When the Kunoichi is no longer needed, the Kunoichi shall lay down her tessen."

"Fine by me! They can have Lucius O'Thunderpunch," She crosses her arms and is sucked out of the book. She stuffs her book into her purse and leaves the bathroom, hoping she can find a place to get rid of the mask.


"Smoke bomb!" He lands near the parking lot, where there's a bull robot running around flipping off cars. Ninja looks to his empty side and sighs. "Listen, I'm kinda at odds with my partner right now, so let's just make this quick. Let's do this."

"Whoa! Hey!" To his confusion, Lucius is riding the bull robot. "Look out! Hey hey! Hey, I think that's eight seconds." Everyone around him watches and then he throws around some of his merchandise.

"I got a beach towel!" A girl screams giddily.

"What a boss key ring! I wish I had keys."

"I got keys!" Bucky holds up some. Lucius rips off the head and kicks it into the sky, and it disappears. "He's way ahead of you, Ninja. Decapitation zing!"

Ninja walks away from the scene with an annoyed look on his face. "I can't believe it. O'Thunderpunch stole my o'thunder," He mutters to himself. "And not just mine, but because of me, my partner is gone. I should go and apologize to her."

"Aw, Ninja, where are you going? I was just about to engage Karaoke Mode!" Speakers appear on him and he plays music, dancing around. "I thought you were with your partner. Or did she wimp out because she doesn't have what it takes to be the Kunoichi?"

Ninja clenches his fists at this, whipping around to him. "Hey, you don't know what you're talking about! My partner is the most important thing to me about being the Ninja! She deserved her own day and I shouldn't take her for granted! I don't deserve to have her by my side, but since you like him so much, let him protect you. I'm outta here!" Ninja smoke bombs away, to the delight of McFist.

"Viceroy, it worked! He's gone! The Ninja's throwing in the scarf!"

Viceroy clears his throat as he walks up to the glass that they use to communicate with the Sorcerer. "Uh, hello?" He knocks on the glass. "Mr. Sorcerer?"

He appears in seconds. "What is it?!"

"The school is all yours," Viceroy reports to him.

"Tell McFist to find the most vulnerable student and crush him!" The Sorcerer demands to the evil scientist, cackling evilly as he disappears. Viceroy turns to the screen that's connected to McFist's Lucius armor.

"He said-"

"I HEARD HIM!" McFist screams and the screen lifts up.

"Um, Mr. O'Thunderpunch," Bucky speaks up timidly, holding his triangle. "Will you sign my triangle?"

"You've got it, kid!" He snatches the instrument and then bends it to Bucky's horror. He tosses it into the band member's hand. Lucius just laughs at him.

"You made it a straight angle!"

Amy closes her locker and hears a beep from her phone. She looks at it and sees a new video from Heidi's channel. She presses play to watch it and stares at it in shock.

"Huh?"


"Stupid O'Thunderpunch!" Randy grumbles as he's alone, standing in front of the shed. "Stupid Norrisville! Stupid not wanting the Ninja around anymore." He opens up the door and walks inside, sagging his shoulders. "I don't get it, Ninja Nomicon," He pulls out the book from his hoodie. "They're supposed to be celebrating me, not Limpy O'Blunderdork." He slides onto the ground, opening up the book.

He falls out into the open and lands on the grass. The first thing he sees is a doodle Ninja and Kunoichi facing a dragon. They jump around and stab in the back, and then they place their weapons down.

"When the Ninja is no longer needed, the Ninja shall lay down his sword. So that's it, they decide they don't need me anymore and I'm done? You realize how wonk that is?"

The dragon comes around and breathes fire on him.

When he wakes up, it's raining over him. He stands up, looking at his mask in his hand. He's holding an umbrella in the other, which he found in the shed. "They don't want a Ninja," He lifts up the lid to the garbage can and puts the mask inside. "They don't have a Ninja." He walks away dejectedly. Amy is much better off without him as a partner, anyway.

He's about to leave when he notices the brunette exiting the school, looking up at the rain. She holds out a hand to feel the raindrops and sighs wearily. She didn't even think it was going to rain so she didn't think to bring an umbrella...just another addition to her day.

"Ames...Ames!" He runs over to her and she stares at him. "Look, I'm so sorry-"

"You're forgiven," She interrupts, smiling softly. He blinks in surprise at her mood, thinking that he was dreaming.

"I-I am? I mean, I am!" He cheers and she giggles. "But wait, what made you change your mind?"

"I heard what you said about me over Heidi's new video. She filmed the whole thing..." She smiles, putting a hand to her heart. "Thank you, Ran. Given dumb O'Thunderpunch, I shouldn't have taken it so personally. I should've been there to help you."

"It's fine, I deserved it," He puts a hand in his pocket. "You...wanna go to the Game Hole with me? I could use a friend right about now."

"But it's raining," She looks up at the sky as her hair is getting wet.

"We can share this one!" He holds out the umbrella, still holding onto it. She looks up at him and they share eye contact (A/N: Umbrella scene, anyone?). Amy slowly reaches out, slightly hesitant. He nods at her and she grabs hold of the umbrella so that both of them are holding it. She walks down the steps and joins his side. He sends her a small weak smile and she returns the sentiment.

Both of them walk off together underneath the umbrella, both of them with a new respect for each other.


However, the depressed mood is still in the air as Randy is playing Tug Tug Press and Amy is playing Robo-Whale. "You threw the mask away?!" Howard exclaims at Randy.

"They don't care about the Ninja or the Kunoichi, they have O'Thunderpunch now," Randy retorts back.

"They don't need either of us, so we don't need the masks anymore," Amy states while looking at her screen.

"What'd you do with yours?" Randy glances at her.

"Trashcan in the Game Hole's dumpster. I threw it in there when I went to the bathroom," She replies while pressing a button.

"So you guys are quitting?!" Howard demands the two of them. "What happens when Norrisville needs you?" He gestures to the city.

"O'Thunderpunch will handle it."

"And besides, he seems to handle things faster," Amy rolls her eyes.

"Get ready for to Tug Tug Press." They turn their attention back to the games.


Monster Bucky is terrorizing students outside the school as they run around in a panic. A storm has brewed as Monster Bucky chases some kids around.

"Run for your li-" Principal Slimovitz bumps into Lucius, who is too busy playing a game to really notice or care. "Why aren't you handling this?!"

"Turning into a monster was his idea," Lucius says dismissively. "O'Thunderpunch out!" He swag walks away from the school.

"But...we gave you a plaque," The principal murmurs in disappointment. "I'm so disappointed." Then stank approaches the man to turn him into a shark-like monster. The Sorcerer is laughing evilly, stank swirling around him in his lair.

"After centuries in this wretched hole, my chaos will set. Me. Free!"


Amy and Randy focus on the games, and therefore haven't noticed what's happened outside. Howard, however, has as he's looking out the window.

"Uh...guys?" Howard glances at them.

"Hold on, we've gotta press. Or is it tug?"

"Press," Amy replies to him without even looking. Randy moves the stick, and he loses the game.

"You tugged your last luck." His player gets kicked by a donkey. Randy groans and moves away from the machine.

"I knew it was press. And you didn't even have to look up!" He turns to the brunette, who loses her game.

"True, but I'm not a pro at video games," She states as she steps back.

"Uh, before you two start a new game, I think you should know there's a stank-nado over the school!" Howard points out the window, where they can see the school and the large green tornado over it.

"I'm sure O'Thunderpunch has it all under control," Randy rolls his eyes, crossing his arms.

"Yeah, he'll love this," Amy scoffs, waving it off. "So what game should we play next?"

"Neither of you are gonna do anything just because he wonked all over your Ninja and Kunoichi Day?" Howard asks in disbelief. Usually this line of questioning was the other way around, but if he has to knock some sense into his friends, then so be it.

"They gave him Ninja of the Year! Howard, not a ninja!"

"And you saw how he handled those robots," Amy gestures to outside. "This should be no problem for him."

"But that's the point! He's just some guy who gives out awesome free stuff. But he's not a ninja, you guys are."

"They don't want us," Randy narrows his eyes slightly.

"Who cares! They need you."

Greg turns into the word need and they both gasp. They look to their game screens.

When the Ninja/Kunoichi is no longer needed...

They walk up to the window in realization. "I thought I had to lay down my sword because I wasn't needed. Turns out I just wasn't wanted."

"Me neither..." Amy murmurs as they look at the stank-nado.

"We haven't been wanted lots of times," Howard points out to them. "We're freshmen! You should really be used to this by now."

"I'm thinking maybe we shouldn't have thrown our Ninja masks away," Randy looks away sheepishly.

"Another shoob move on our part," Amy facepalms herself.

"Yes, that was really stupid. You should know better, Smith, you're the smart one!"

"Hey, he was stealing our thunder," She defends herself, eyes wide. "Wait a minute." She whips around to the stank-nado. "That guy just conveniently happened to appear today of all days. But he wouldn't do that unless-"

"Unless he wanted to steal our thunder and then make them not want us!" Randy gasps, pointing at her. They both glare towards the window. "That evil shoob!"

"Whatever, now let's get them back!" Howard clenches his fist. Randy takes Amy's hand and runs forward to the back. They slide to a stop and Amy grabs her mask from a dumpster, gagging at how dirty it looks.


Monster Bucky is holding a school bus while the three have arrived at the school. The unstanked students run right past them.

"They so need me," Randy smirks before a bus is thrown at them. "Whoa!" It lands right in front of them, on fire.

"Cunningham, mask!"

Randy runs to the garbage can and throws away the lid. He digs inside for it. "This school needs the Ninja!" He pulls out the dirty mask with a banana peel on top of it. He groans at the sight of it and Amy gags, covering her mouth. "I'm gonna throw up."

"You're the shoob who threw it away," Howard points out to him. "And not to mention...you two are still holding hands," He grins, pointing at the two of them. They look at their interlocked hands and blush.

"Ah, um..."

"Well, we..."

"Let's just go," Randy opens the door and Amy goes in first. They transform in the shed and jump out as the Ninja and Kunoichi. "Oh, schnasty!" He removes the banana peel, jumping towards Monster Slimovitz. He throws his own car away so that it explodes and they land in front of him.

"Ah, yeah, okay!" They punch him in the face and then Ninja gets caught in Monster Flute Girl's mouth. Kunoichi pulls on the ties from her hair, letting it out. She throws it around Ninja's waist and pulls him out safely. They jump and kick her to the ground.

Monster Bucky roars and Ninja punches him in the face. Kunoichi grabs his leg and trips him. Ninja gets kicked by the ground by Monster Julian, surrounded by the two monsters. He whistles to Kunoichi, who front flips to his side.

"Double Ninja Kick!" They jump up into the air and kick one monster each. They land and dodge swipes from both monsters. Kunoichi grabs Monster Julian's leg and then throws him into Monster Bucky.

"Hey thanks," Ninja grins at her and she smiles, giving a thumbs up.

"All in a Kunoichi's work."

Ninja then looks up, stiffening. "Uh oh." He pulls Kunoichi out of the way as Monster Dave lands, punching the ground instead. "Bring it on!" They both get into fighting stances.

He extends his arms to attack, and they latch onto his right arm. When it goes back to him, he gets a punch to the face.

"Boom!" He falls onto the grass.

"O'Thunderpunch!" They find him shining his plaque on the steps.

"Ninja, Kunoichi, what are you doing here?" He asks them casually.

"There's a mass stanking going on," Ninja informs him. "Why aren't you stopping it?"

"I don't feel like it," He shrugs carelessly.

"What?!" Kunoichi exclaims at the so-called hero. "Are you crazy?"

"Don't feel like it? Heroes don't get to not feel like it," Ninja berates him.

"Who said I was a hero?" He gets into their faces. He then opens up his cannon and fires shirts on them.

"Okay," Ninja takes off the shirt in annoyance as Kunoichi gasps.

"I knew it! You're no hero!" She points at him furiously. "You're a fake!"

"Oops! Sorry, wrong cannon," A bigger cannon appears and Ninja takes Kunoichi into his arms, jumping away as he yelps. He puts her down, only for them to dodge incoming missiles. He fires another one and it flies right past them.

"Ninja Missile Snatch!" They snatch it away with their scarves and direct it back to Lucius. He tumbles and lands on the ground, the plaque sliding to their feet. Ninja picks it up.

"We bailed on the school. And you? Well, you're a jerktastic shoob." The doodles point to the plaque. "Looks like nobody's getting Ninja of the Year this year." He throws it into the air. "Kuno, now!"

"Kuno plaque Slash!" She throws her fan at it, slicing it in half. The stank is released from it and all the monsters turn back to normal.

"NINJA! KUNOICHI!" The Sorcerer shouts at the top of his lungs.

"I thought you don't do that," Ninja smirks at her behind the mask.

"I dunno, it's kind of growing on me," She shrugs at him with an amused look.

"Wow! So...that happened," Lucius replies slowly as they're all staring at him. "Yeah, just...glad you're all okay."

"That guy's no hero," Howard points at him from the crowd. "He didn't do anything. Ninja and Kunoichi saved the day."

"And he yelled at me," Bucky glares at the fake hero.

"He didn't give two hoots about us during that monster attack," Principal Slimovitz places his hands on his hips.

"Yeah!"

"We love you, Ninja and Kunoichi!"

"Whoa, hey, look at the time," He looks at a watch that doesn't exist. "I'm gonna jetpack!" He flies away, leaving behind tacos.

"It's okay, you can eat the tacos," Ninja declares, earning cheers from everyone.

"Yay! Tacos!"

Ninja picks up the plaque pieces, handing them to Kunoichi. "Here. You deserve this more than I do."

She smiles and kisses his cheek. "No...we do," She hands him the other half and he smiles back lovingly.

Howard is sitting on a pile of tacos while eating one. Ninja and Kunoichi walk up to him. "Thanks, man. I got so caught up in wanting to be wanted, I forgot what it meant to be needed and to have a good partner."

"What? All I heard was me chewing," He holds up his taco.

"Smoke bomb, buddy. Smoke bomb," Ninja drops it and they leave, making a silent vow to stay partners...

And not to let anything like this happen again!
