Angel: For those who read everything I write and are interested in knowing, the movie for Rise of the TMNT is coming out next year. There's no hints that this would continue the show, since social media from the crew is not really...pointing towards that idea. It seems like the movie might be the end of the show. And with the way that Nickelodeon has mistreated most of their shows, Rise of TMNT unfortunately might as well be in that category.

Everyone knows that Nick kills off shows that aren't as successful as Spongebob by putting them on Nicktoons or delaying the release of episodes in general. And that is the main reason I don't feel good about Rise of the TMNT's future. Well, that, and the fact that Nick literally cut season 2 halfway through its production, even though other episodes were already in production. Literally they had like six weeks to get the finale out, which is the worst thing you could do to a show.

If they were planning to bring it back by doing the movie, I'd have a little more faith, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

This is why I keep my faith in Disney-for the most part. And I say that because they rejected a Varian spinoff.

Howard, Amy, and Randy are at the Laze-a-rena today. She would've stayed home, but Howard insisted on her coming since they apparently needed her brains to 'win the prize easily.' He lets out a scream as he and a dejected Randy exit the building, followed by Amy. All of them are wearing laser tag vests over their clothes.

"How do we keep losing all of our tickets?" Howard complains to the two.

"Cause we keep betting them on laser tag," Randy gestures to the closed doors. "And we're wonk at laser tag!"

"Smith, you were supposed to be helping us, but with your advice, it's like you wonked us up even more!" Howard points up at her. "This is all your fault!"

"Whaaaaaat?!" She asks angrily, narrowing her eyes. "I can give you advice or you can suck at laser tag for the rest of your life! I am not being blamed for that."

"Relax, I don't blame you," Randy tries to assure her, placing a hand on her shoulder. He then turns to glare at Howard. "Howard, pointing fingers at her isn't gonna solve anything. Even with her on our side, it wouldn't have been enough to guarantee a win."

"Well it's clearly not our fault!" Howard groans, pinching his nose. "She's the only one in our team that's actually good! She failed to project that onto us so that we could win."

"Are you even hearing yourself right now?" Amy has a blank look on her face. "Look, I'm not happy about the losses either. I really want the alternative prize for myself..." She pouts a little.

"Whatever," He grumbles at her. "How many do we have left?"

"Counting the one I found under the urinal, that makes one," He holds up a dirty ticket in a small plastic bag. Amy gags at it, turning away and covering her mouth.

"Why would you take it?" She murmurs in disbelief and disgust.

"Aw! We'll never get the Mega-Prize!" Howard whines, turning away and crossing his arms. Flute Girl peeks outside.

"Hey, losers, thanks for the tickets," She holds up the winnings and Howard fires his laser blaster at her out of annoyance. However, she goes right back inside and he misses, emphasizing how bad the two are at laser tag.

"All I've ever wanted since I saw it 20 minutes ago is the Mega-Prize!" Howard gestures to inside.

"Same-sies...besides a balloon from Ames." She rolls her eyes in amusement as Randy wiggles his brows expectantly. Sometimes they'll ask her to make them balloon animals whenever they're bored, but his requests are definitely...unique. She's working on a little something for him, though, since there was so many things to choose from. "So what can we do?"

"I dunno. It's not like we can just go in there and try to-" Howard is muffled out by a screaming girl swinging past them from behind, having been grabbed by something. Randy and Amy glance behind him to follow the line of direction. The two swing to the right as Howard continues talking, seemingly not aware of what's going on behind him. "Then we'd be stuck raising a talking parrot and those things live for like 30 years!"

"What?" The two ask in confusion.

"How did we get from the Mega-Prize to a talking parrot?" Amy raises a brow. She wasn't paying attention since she got distracted.

"I mean, I guess you-" He continues, the screaming continuing behind them. Randy picks at his ear, glancing behind him. "But it'd probably burn up on re-entry anyway."

"What are you talking about?" Randy finally decides to ask.

"Have you not heard a word I've said?" Howard asks in disbelief.

"No!" The two roll their eyes.

"There's a screaming girl—Goink!" Randy finally realizes that they shouldn't even be standing here right now. "Screaming girl!"

They run off to go transform, Howard crossing his arms. "Nice! Leave me to figure everything out!"

Kunoichi then comes back. "By the way, you're repeating what you said earlier when we get back."

He grumbles as he watches her take off.


A large robo-gorilla is holding a woman by the hand. "Smoke bomb!" A cloud of red and pink appears as the partners stand in front of them.

"Time for some gorilla warfare!"

Before Kunoichi could complain, they get punched into a window, leaving cracks in the glass. Kunoichi's braid is a mess behind her as she groans next to him.

"Totally deserved that!"

"You definitely did," Kunoichi agrees painfully. They get punched again, leaving only debris. The robo-gorilla looks around in confusion before the duo land behind it.

"Ninja Chain-Sickle!" Ninja throws his chain while Kunoichi throws her hair. Both weapons capture the arm that's not holding the girl, getting pulled back in unison.

"Whoa!"

The robo-gorilla spins them around until they smack heads together hard. "Ouch!" Kunoichi rubs her forehead. Then he releases them and they fall onto the street hard. The girl continues screaming as the robo-gorilla charges forward.

"Ninja Air Fist!" They fire them at the same time, punching the robo-gorilla in the face. The girl goes flying out of his hand and Ninja catches her in his arms. Kunoichi looks a bit irritated by it as he puts her down, but she's still screaming. Ninja groans at her and his partner hums skeptically. Something about this was weird...

Ninja groans after a few more seconds of screaming. "Would you please stop screaming?" She then finally stops and he sags his shoulders in relief. "Oh, thank you."

She turns her head around to reveal that she's a robot, and they can tell by her face. "Wait a second, you're not a girl. You're a robot!"

"Thank god, because I would've maimed her if she started hitting on you or something like that," Kunoichi wipes off her forehead in relief.

She lets out another scream before opening her mouth and spraying weird pink-green goo at them. Kunoichi yelps in alarm as they hold out their hands, pushing it towards her mouth. She keeps spraying it, sending them backwards as they try to get it off.

"Schnasty!"

She then self-destructs, the rest of the goo landing on them, covering their suits in it. "What the juice? She gooed us!" Ninja complains as Kunoichi looks over herself, frowning at her hair.

"My hair just had to be a weapon from the suit, this stuff is gonna give my hair problems tonight..."

Before they could even get it off, the goo from both suits suddenly disappears on its own. "What the double juice? Is this some kind of prank? Huh?" He looks around for anyone to fess up. "One of you guys? Is someone prank...is anybody pranking us?"

"Mm, Viceroy's not really into pranking," Kunoichi shakes her head.

"How do you know it's him?" He turns to her in confusion.

"Who else do we know makes robots in Norrisville?" She gestures to the robo-gorilla.

"True," He agrees with her.

McFist chuckles as he and Viceroy were watching the fight from a screen. "That was some kind of prank!" McFist grins with glee.

"It wasn't a prank!" Viceroy corrects him, pulling up the image of their enemies covered in the goo. "That's tracking dye. Now we can track the Ninja and Kunoichi anywhere. And wherever the Ninja goes, she follows!"

"Ooh! Play it again! Play it again!" McFist slams down his fists with a wide smile, acting like a kid in a candy store.

Viceroy groans in defeat, playing the part where the two get hit with the tracking dye. He lets out a laugh, holding his stomach and wiggling his legs.


Howard groans back at the Laze-a-rena. "I don't know how, and I don't know when," He shakes his head as he looks up. "But you will be mine. Mega-Prize!" The Mega-Prize is just a giant picture of a large ticket. "Enormous, unpocket-able." He takes out the one Randy found underneath the urinal. "Oh, you make me sick."

Randy and Amy come running back in. "You'll never guess what happened!"

"It was so weird..." Amy rubs her chin.

"Ninja suits, lame jokes, fighty, fighty, smoke bomb," Howard says quickly, narrowing his eyes.

"No! Well, no yeah, you nailed it. But also, for some reason the ape tricked us into lowering our defenses so robogirl could goo us!" Randy gestures to himself and his girlfriend.

"Which I'm still trying to figure out why, by the way," Amy holds up a finger.

"See, all I heard was: I don't have a plan to win the Mega-Prize!" Howard shouts, pointing up at them. The brunette gives him a look of annoyance, pushing his finger away. Randy rubs his chin as he thinks of an idea. The trio appear in doodle form, along with laser guns and pictures of the Ninja and Kunoichi. Then it's of the three with the Mega-Prize in glee.

"Or maybe I do! Everybody thinks we're wonk at laser tag," Randy pauses, glancing at Amy. "Well, maybe not Ames. Their guards are down! We'll challenge 'em again, I Ninja out and...pew!"

"Use the Ninja suit?" Howard asks him skeptically. "That's genius!"

"That's not genius, we call it cheating," Amy narrows her eyes, crossing her arms. "If you use the suit, how is everyone else supposed to get a fair chance in the game?"

"Us losing? NOT FAIR!" Howard gets into her face and she pushes him away.

"Fine, go ahead and cheat, but I'm not being a part of it," She holds up her hands, walking off to enter a match.

"Hey Amy, we'll play you for 400 tickets," Theresa calls out, joined by Debbie. "We hear you're really good."

"Deal," The girl smirks in amusement, no longer worried about Theresa. She decided not too long ago to not hold whatever the Sorceress did against her, since she didn't want to do it. And Amy would rather make friends, not enemies at this point.

She lets the two girls go first, looking over her shoulder to the boys. "Just so you know, you're gonna regret this."

"Ooh, we're so scared," The obese boy mocks as she rolls her eyes, stepping through. "Can you believe her?"

"Well..." Randy glances away sheepishly.

"You believe her?!" Howard exclaims in disbelief.

"She's my girlfriend, it's not like I don't trust her. But then again...The Mega Prize!" His eyes shine at it.

"Yeah!" Howard cheers and they share their signature handshake, firing off their laser guns at the end. The Ninja Nomicon flashes and he groans.

"Ah. Knew it," He complains at this.

"Always hated that idea," Howard sags his shoulders. Randy takes out the book, waving to his friend. "Vloomp ya on the flippity!" He lands on a seat as he goes inside the book. Amy's Nomicon flashes and she goes into a hiding spot.

"For the record, if this is about Ran cheating, I completely agree with you," Amy states as she opens the book, getting shloomped in. Her head hits the back of the platform, drool escaping from her mouth.

The two roll to a stop on grass near flames. Randy sits on his knees, Amy doing the same. "Uhh...listen, I know what you're gonna say, but I have to Ninja out to win the Mega-Prize! It's framed! I'd do it if it was a giant panda bear to win for Ames!"

"That's sweet, but at the same time, I still wouldn't want you to cheat for it," She crosses her arms, raising an eyebrow.

The flames give out a message, with doodles of the Ninja and Kunoichi meditating. "A true Ninja is always victorious," Randy reads, pumping his fist. "Yes! Victorious! At laser tag! True Ninja! Finally, Nomicon, we're on the same page! And you thought it was gonna say the opposite," Randy nudges the girl.

"Bad," She simply comments on his decision before they're vloomped out.

Randy leans in towards Howard with a big grin. "Guess what: Nomicon's on board!"

"If it's in, I'm out!" Howard declares, gesturing to the doors and about to leave.

"But we can get the Mega-Prize," Randy offers with a small smile.

"Back in!" The boy turns back around with a big smile. Randy gasps as he sees Bucky and Flute Girl approaching.

"What's that, Howard? You got 500 more tickets?" Randy asks casually, causing Flute Girl to freeze.

"I didn't say-" Randy covers Howard's mouth with his hand.

"I couldn't help but overhear," Flute Girl starts off smugly. "You have 500 tickets. Care to make another wager?" She flips through some tickets in her hands.

"I don't know. Give us a sec, would ya?" He walks off with Howard, smirking at his plan.

"Cunningham, we don't have 500 tickets!" Howard hisses at him.

"But they don't know that, right? A secret?" Randy raises a brow knowingly, hoping Howard will get the hint.

"Ohhh," Howard catches on. "The classic pretend to have tickets when you don't." He has a sly look on his face, chuckling. "Why didn't you tell me we're running the Uncle Sledge?"

"How is he by the way?" Randy asks casually.

"Good," Howard smiles a little. "He got his yard privileges back."

"Hmm," The taller boy hums in approval. They wait a few seconds before turning back around to Flute Girl and Bucky. "Hey, we're in."

"Hope you do better than blast time. You stink at laser tag zing!"


In the arena, the two are sneaking around, ready to blast their opponents again and win. "Cunningham, where are you? I'm lost and vulnerable!" Howard calls out, Flute Girl narrowing her eyes with a victorious smile. She points forward to a model of Charlie Clucker, because of course Howard would hide behind there...

Amy is handed her winnings of 400 tickets from the girls, 200 each. She shakes hands with them when she hears her boyfriend's voice.

"Don't call out! They'll track you!" Randy shouts, chuckling to himself and pulling out his mask. He backs away to go transform, waving the mask. "Ninja time~!"

"Ugh," Amy silently rolls her eyes to herself.

"Uh, what are they doing?" Debbie raises a brow, looking behind the brunette for the voices.

"Being shoobs as usual," Is all the girl replies with. It's days like these that she wonders how she's still friends with Howard for encouraging this, but Randy is being worse. Then again, she did agree to be his girlfriend for other reasons...

Once the transformation is complete, a signal is activated from McFist's office. "It's the Ninja!" Viceroy announces with a smile. "The Kunoichi can't be too far away! Thanks to my tracking dye, we can track them!" He chortles evilly, but McFist is watching his enemies get splashed with the dye in their faces to really notice or care.

"It's even funnier in slo-mo!" He grins widely as the two scream in slow motion, causing him to laugh. Ninja peeks around the corner as Bucky and Flute Girl are sneaking up on Howard. He jumps down, landing behind the two.

"Hey Weinerdoof," Flute Girl calls out, thinking they have the upper hand.

"Oh, there you are," Randy speaks up once he's taken off the suit, pointing his laser gun at them.

"What the juice?" Bucky asks in shock.

"No honkin' way!" Flute Girl exclaims in disbelief. Both of them are hit and Bucky dramatically falls, coughing as his hand slide downs her arm. She gives a small blank look at him.

"Like pew-ing fish in a barrel, right, Bucky?" Randy jokes, spinning his laser gun in his hand.

Bucky sighs from the floor. "Underestimated our opponents, zing!"

Howard holds out a hand to Flute Girl. "Tick me five-hundo."

She grunts in defeat, giving him 250. "This is totally unacceptable! It's not fair!" She walks away dejectedly.

Bucky sighs wearily as he approaches Howard. "If I must," He gives up his half and walks after his friend sadly. Randy strolls up to his friend, actually looking guilty.

"I feel terrible...that we didn't think of this sooner!" He exclaims happily with a big smile.

"Let's do it again, let's do it again!" Howard shouts rapidly, jumping up and down.

Amy raises a brow as the two schoolmates exit the arena. She pinches her nose, feeling bad for them. Obviously she can't do anything about it since they won't listen, but that doesn't mean they should've tricked Flute Girl and Bucky...

"Sorry you lost," Amy frowns in sympathy.

"It's okay...hey, you wanna play us?" Bucky asks her and she perks up.

"Sure, why not? We'll see who's really good at laser tag."

"Watch out for her tactics, Bucky," Flute Girl whispers to her. "I heard she's hard to beat."


The signal disappears and Viceroy yelps at it being gone. "The Ninja's gone! And I didn't have time to pinpoint his location!"

McFist is still watching the video. "Thinkin' of putting this bad boy on ShoobTobe. You feelin' that?"

Viceroy turns back to the screen since he has important things to focus on. "If he pops up again, I can triangulate it down to a city block-" The video interrupts his thinking. His eyes widen before he shoots his boss a tiny glare.

"Probably get Pick of the Week."


"500 tickets?" Pradeep asks the boys, who had approached him and his partner next. "Pradeep don't charge his battery pack for less than a thousand, baby."

"Oh, okay," Randy is holding a bunch of tickets in his left hand. "Then should we make it a thousand?" He holds up 500 tickets that was hiding in his other hand.

"I would charge my battery pack for that," Pradeep nods eagerly in agreement.

He and his partner charge in, Howard and Randy joining together at the entrance. Randy has his mask ready as they both smirk.

"It's Ninja O'Clock!" He then lets out a groan. "How do you or Smith not feel stupid saying that?"

"I don't know," Randy shrugs at him. "Ames doesn't say it as much as I do. Kinda like how she doesn't announce her attack every single time."

He puts on his mask as they run in.


The signal goes off again. "Ooo! The Ninja's back! Still no Kunoichi..." He squints his eyes as he doesn't see her signal. "But we'll get her eventually!"

McFist is in the process of uploading the video to Shoob Tube when his computer screens all turn blue. He grunts in dismay. "My screen's gone!"

The signal disappears yet again. "The Ninja's gone!"

Then McFist's screens pop back up. "Hey, screen's back!"

Viceroy turns back to his own screens in annoyance. "A lil' worried about your screen, you didn't know I'm here," He grumbles to himself in a sassy tone.


Randy chuckles as he's leading away a dejected Pradeep. "The important thing is we had fun. Oh, and gimme your tickets," He snatches them away, Pradeep walking past with a sad groan. Randy giggles greedily. "Oh, ticket, ticket, ticket!"

Pradeep approaches Amy, offering her to play and she nods in agreement with a smile.

Howard walks up to Randy, followed by Theresa and Debbie. "Cunningham, go time! Andale!"

"Oh!" Randy chuckles eagerly.

Just like the previous two times, Howard fakes being caught, the Ninja swoops in, and then Randy takes them out of the game.

Ninja's signal disappears with Viceroy, frustrating him.

Amy gets approached by people who lost from Randy and Howard, and agrees to play with them fairly. Word has been getting around that she's alone, so she thought that was the reason why people want to play her. But it's actually because they want a fair match since they're getting the sense that something was off with the boys beating them. Sometimes she wins, sometimes she loses, but Amy is a good sport, so she didn't mind the occasional loss.

Both boys are talking up people to play with them.

McFist is watching his new video, as he edited it to give off different backgrounds and pictures while the two are being sprayed.

Braden and Buttermaker give up their tickets to the boys, who throw up their tickets happily. They silently stay in that winning pose, the other two glancing at each other awkwardly.

Viceroy finally pinpoints Ninja's location. "Got him! Ninja's at the Laze-A-Rena! And wherever he is, the Kunoichi must be near!"

McFist shushes him as he's on the phone.

"Just need to pick the right robot..." Viceroy puts down a book where he has pictures of all his robots. He settles on a duo of robots. "Lazer-Bots! Yay!"

"Keep it down!" McFist turns around to glare at him. "I'm on with Tech Support. Uh, yes," He holds up a screen that's entirely blue. "Screen keeps going blue."

"Next time the Ninja and Kunoichi show: pew, pew," Viceroy mimics shooting a laser gun.

"Ooo! That's great!" McFist stands up with a smile. "She's connecting me with her supervisor."

Viceroy looks slightly irritated as he seems to be the only one focusing on capturing their enemies today.

Dozens of tickets are dropped on the counter in front of the employee. "Five thousand tickets! One-"

"Mega-Prize!" The two boys exclaim in unison. She's about to get it down when something above her gets their attention. They didn't notice it until just now for some reason, but there's a super mega prize, and it's twice as big as the mega one.

"Howard! Super Mega-Prize?"

"I thought it was a myth!" Howard murmurs in awe. "And we only need 2,000 more tickets!"

"Howard, wait," Randy places a hand on his shoulder, walking away from the counter. "Are we being greedy? Maybe we should stop."

They take one look at each other and bust out laughing.

"Oh, maybe we should stop! Ho ho, you're killing me, Cunningham..."

"You should stop!"

They turn around to see Amy standing there with a deep frown, holding at least 3,000 tickets in her hands. "Don't bite off more than you can chew. You may think you're getting away with it, but it ends now. Call this off!"

"Or what?" Howard challenges her.

"Or I tell everyone the truth. Well, most of it."

"Ames," Randy chuckles, stepping forward and wrapping an arm around her. "It's only one last time and then we're done! I swear! Once the prize is safe at home, we'll tell everyone."

"That's not-"

"We just need one last pair of shoobs to hustle..." Howard glances around. They look towards Amy, who steps back with a glare.

"I won this fair and square, I'm not giving you my tickets."

The Lazer-Bots step in, the male one having a garbage can stuck in his right foot. He slowly turns to the boys.

"Well, what have we here?"

"Looks like about 2,000 tickets..." Howard gives a smug look. Amy narrows her eyes as they walk past her.

The signal appears from Viceroy's screen again. "Circle's back, baby! It is on!" He pumps a fist. McFist hums while on hold.

The bots step into the arena, Howard stepping out of hiding. "Oh no, you've found me!" He dances around to mock them, Ninja landing on a platform.

"Hello super mega prize!" He rubs his hands together.

They look up and Howard glances at them in confusion. They walk right past him to zero in on Ninja thanks to the tracking dye. They point their laser guns at him and fire. He screams and jumps out of the way just in time.

"What the juice?" He looks up at the top to see it slightly melted, barely dodging the other ones.

"Get ready to eat Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, shoobs!" Howard points his laser gun at them. He fires at them, but because they're robots, the vests don't really work. Their heads turn around without them moving their bodies. "Your vests don't work. Laser foul!"

"Ninja Snatch!" Ninja snatches a post and swings, getting Howard out of harm's way from a laser. Howard lands roughly as Ninja lands in front of him, narrowing his eyes.

"Real lasers? Unbelievable! These guys aren't playing fair!" Howard whines at this.

"I don't think they're playing at all!" Ninja exclaims, reaching for his phone. "Gotta contact Ames!"

Before he can contact her, the female robot fires next, and he uses his sword to dodge them. The last one hits her face, Howard gasping sharply as she turns away. She lifts up her head to reveal her robotic face, both of them screaming. They go into hiding.

"Lazer-Bots! McFist must have sent them. But why?" He rubs his chin. Howard gasps sharply.

"He's after the Super-Mega Prize!"

Ninja glances at him. "Or...and I'm just saying or...he's after the Ninja and Kunoichi."

A blast occurs right behind him, leaving behind a massive hole.

"I'm outta here!" Howard makes a break for it, running past the lasers.

"Howard, warn the others on your way out!" Ninja calls out, his phone getting blasted. "Ah! And get Ames!"

"Yeah, if it comes up!" Howard calls back.

"No...warn them!" His friend reiterates. "And I need my partner!"

"Alright, okay," Howard stops short, skidding to a stop as he sees Amy, and with all the other players behind her. They don't look happy with him one bit. "Hey guys, you don't wanna go in there. There's robots firing real lasers."

Amy's eyes widen at his explanation. "Wait, what? Well, then where's-?"

"Yeah, right, Howard," Flute Girl rolls her eyes. "You hustled us! Amy told us the truth, now give us back our tickets."

"You traitor!" Howard points at the brunette accusingly.

"I had to, Howard. You weren't playing fair the whole time while I was," Amy jerks a thumb to herself. "It just goes to show that you can't get what you want by cheating!"

He glances around nervously and then turns around, running off. "Blast him!" Flute Girl declares, everyone else charging in. Amy glances around to make sure no one is looking before she runs off to go transform.

Ninja jumps around from lasers, Howard skidding around a corner to hide.

Everyone stops short as a laser is fired. "Those are real lasers!" Flute Girl exclaims in shock. Kunoichi crawls up to the ceiling from the front door.

"Told ya," Howard mutters at her, the people screaming and running in the opposite direction. The exit gets sealed off.

"I don't wanna die! Too scared to zing, zing!" A laser goes off, destroying the feather on top of Bucky's hat. Another one destroys their hiding spot and Kunoichi lands in front of them, unleashing her hair to dodge the projectiles. Luckily over time, her hair has gotten more durable.

"Kuno!" He smiles in relief at her.

"So, here's my first question...what the juice is goin-" Her eyes widen as a laser is coming for her.

Ninja jumps in front of her, deflecting the laser using a rock. Kunoichi holds out her fan to him and he takes it, throwing it to get rid of the other laser.

"Quick, young laserman, get them out of harm's way!" Ninja declares to Howard.

"You got it. Everybody follow me!" He gestures them forward, but no one follows. They glance at each other and Howard grunts, sagging his shoulders. "Ninja says!"

They run off and he walks behind them, nearly getting hit by a laser from behind. They run over to a hiding spot and Kunoichi leaps, landing next to her partner.

"Ninja Make Em Think We're Going This Way When We're Really Going That Way!" The two rush over to a wall, jumping off it in opposite directions. However, they get targeted anyway. They roll to a stop a few feet away from each other, both of them shocked.

"No robots have ever done that before!" She exclaims at this.

"Wha...what the juice? How'd you know where we-" The robots scan them and they notice that the dye is still on their suits. "Oh, the goo from the girl! It wasn't a prank! It's tracking dye!"

"Which they wouldn't have used to get here if you hadn't kept using the suit! Viceroy must've pinpointed your location, but didn't have the time to track you until now," Kunoichi glares, hands on her hips. "Do you have any idea-" Ninja yelps and grabs her bridal style, jumping to a higher platform as the next laser fires, emitting flames. He puts her down safely and she dusts herself off. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. If I hadn't suited up to win at laser tag, McFist couldn't have tracked me! And I wouldn't have put everyone, including you, in danger! You were right, I shouldn't have cheated..."

"Aww," Her eyes soften at him. "But...if it makes you feel better, they would've tracked us at any time. So it wasn't like we could avoid it..."

"It does a little..."

Some flames rise up, getting their attention as they see the advice. "A true Ninja is always victorious. Well, this doesn't feel victorious!"

Kunoichi moves his head down so that they can dodge another projectile. The two jump and land on a high point of the arena, the words true ninja flashing. "Ohhh, I don't need to be victorious to be a true Ninja. I need to be a true Ninja to be victorious!"

"LOOK OUT!" Kunoichi pulls him out of the way, a huge blast occurring where they were standing. The debris lands first and then they fall on top of it.

"If putting on the suit got me into this..." He glances to a robot, who turns around and fires. They jump into the air together. "Then we need to..."

They slide down a structure. "Ninja Mid-air De-Suit!" They shout in unison, using the tube to take off their masks and emerge as their normal selves. He heads for the male robot while she heads for the female one. They place the masks on the two, transforming them into the Ninja and Kunoichi. The female turns around to him and they fire at the same time, taking each other out. Randy hugs Amy close to shield her from the explosions.

"Those weren't the true us, and since the dye was still on the suits, they didn't know the difference," Amy smirks down at them, getting their masks back from the pile of destroyed robots.

"YES!" Howard cheers, pumping his fists as he joins them. "Good job!"

"Thanks, buddy," Randy smiles down at him.

"No, you're supposed to say 'good job,' cause I did such a good job warning those guys."

"After they knew about what you did, mind you," Amy crosses her arms.

"Not so fast," Flute Girl speaks up, getting their attention. "Hand over those tickets you hustled from us." Everyone's pointing their laser gun at the duo and Howard glares at Amy.

"Smith ratted us out..."

"Bonk," Randy pouts at this and he smiles nervously at his girlfriend. "Ames, wanna stick up for us? The two boys that you love dearly?"

"Not the word I'd use to describe right now," She deadpans at him. "This is what you deserve, so I'm not touching this one."

They back away slowly and then take off into a run. They approach the model of the Van Dam, where there's a sudden drop. They gasp up ahead, glancing at each other as the group is approaching. The boys skid to a stop at the edge, cringing at the supposedly drop. They glance at each other and Randy holds out his hand. Howard takes it and they both jump...though it's not that big of a fall as they're lying there on the ground.

Flute Girl scoffs at them. "You guys are idiots."

Viceroy's computer powers down and he groans. "Oh! We were so close!"

"So close? We did it!" McFist cheers at the uploaded video. "I'm sittin' on Three Thumbs Up on here."

The scientist groans and walks off. "Ooo, now it's four! Five! I'm blowin' up!"


Everyone cheers as they take away the super mega prize past the boys and Amy.

"So wonk! No tickets! No super mega prize! No nothing!" Howard complains, glaring up at the brunette. "I blame you!"

"Okay," She deadpans, not really caring at this point. He'll calm down eventually once he reaches her house, since she has a bunch of snacks.

"Where are your tickets anyway?!"

"I gave them up to the guys so they could have the prize," Amy points to where they left. "I don't need it, and they deserved it after what you two put them through."

Howard growls slightly, clenching his fists. "Now what're we gonna do today?"

"Well, I'm going home to wash the goo out of my Ninja suit," Randy walks off.

"Same, and my hair, ugh," Amy scrunches up her nose as she remembers that.

"...Yeah, I guess I could watch that," Howard walks after him.

"Hey Amy!"

She glances over her shoulder as Bucky and Flute Girl come up to her, surrounded by everyone else. "Well, we wanted to tell you thanks for telling us the truth, and for giving us your tickets to get the mega prize!"

"No problem," Amy waves it off with a small smile. "You guys earned it by just having fun."

"But you were the only one who was consistent on fairness!" Pradeep holds up a finger.

"So we decided to pitch in some extra tickets to give you this as thanks," Debbie holds out a large stuffed panda bear, which is the alternative prize. Amy gasps sharply as the boys stare at her, mouths wide open in disbelief.

"You guys! Thanks! That's really nice of you," She smiles at everyone, taking the panda bear. "Enjoy your prize!"

"You deserved something too. Bye," Flute Girl waves as they leave. Amy hugs her prize, walking past the boys.

"Norrisville has some really nice people," She smiles happily, failing to notice their looks. Randy then closes his mouth.

"Yeah, that's fair..." He agrees in defeat, walking after her.


He later gasps as he sees a balloon of the Ninja, held out to him by Amy. "So Bruce! Is this what you were working on for me?!"

"Well, yeah," She smiles a bit. "I was gonna do a bouquet of flowers, but this is much better."

"You can give me whatever you want, Ames," He smiles softly, taking the balloon from her. "Thanks! Maybe one day I should give one of the Kunoichi."

"Oh boy," She sweats a little, knowing that he'll probably mess it up a bunch of times...
