Angel: I took one look at this episode and I knew that it would be the hardest one to write, not even The Brawn Also Rises came close to this one. This episode was kind of hard for me, since it's based off 80s animation, which I was not exposed to at all during my childhood. I was born in the late 90s, so by the time I started watching cartoons, most of the 80s shows from that decade weren't airing anymore. That goes for early 90s stuff too that didn't carry over into the 2000s, btw. Either they weren't airing or if I had watched it, I don't remember. I didn't even know about the 80s Ninja Turtles until like 2013. That's how unaware I am of 80s stuff XD And yes, that means I did miss out on the 80s Ninja Turtles, Ducktales...at least half of Scooby Doo stuff lol. I didn't have any clue about Thundercats even, and this episode is practically based on that. Not that Thundercats is even my favorite show in the world anyway. Name any popular 80s cartoon that lasted into the 90s, and I can answer with certainty that I've had no nostalgia there.
I tried my best, though, despite that...and the TV show is just sooo cheesy.
If you were wondering, passed my final last week with an A! Still waiting on grades to come out though, and those are due today...
The very first picture Yellowdrake26 did on DeviantArt, which is the cover picture for this story, reached over a thousand views!
Howard is contacting Randy and Amy in a three-way call. He groans impatiently in his room. "Cunningham, Smith, where are you?!" He complains just as the two rush down the stairs.
"We're here!" Randy slips and falls down the stairs. Amy gasps at him a little as he lands on the floor. "We're here!"
"Took ya two long enough," The smaller boy rushed over to them. Randy reaches out his hand so Howard can help him up, but he just grabs a box from Randy's bag instead. Amy rolls her eyes and he crosses his arms.
"We had to hit three stories to find Pepper-peno McSquiddles," The taller boy explains. "Each! So make 'em..." His mouth opens as he gasps to find Howard throwing them into his mouth. "Last. I just said make 'em last. You just shoved them in. You just shoved them all in," Amy helps him up and she leans into his ear.
"Don't worry, I managed to find some more boxes downtown."
"Ugh! I knew they were downtown just like you guessed! Downtown always has them!" He whines, but then it turns into a smile as she gives him a box. Randy pulls out a diaper as Amy takes out more snacks from her own bag.
"Howard, Ames, for the next 24 hours, no bathroom breaks, no Ninja-ing, it's just us, you, and-"
Howard turns on the TV as the couple sit down next to him. A logo appears on screen. "Rorg! Hero of A Past!"
A cheesy-looking TV show from the 80s plays, with the hero Rorg facing his nemesis, Commander Boneface. "Chillaxia will never succumb to your evil, Commander Boneface," He clashes his sword with Boneface's staff.
"Don't be so sure, Rorg," He cackles evilly before his magic summons a kangaroo-like dinosaur. It jumps forward and tackles Rorg onto the ground. "You don't take an army to defeat my Kanga-saur, Rorg," He cackles again as the Kanga-saur jumps onto Rorg multiple times.
"How about this arm-y?" He holds up his arm, punching the Kanga-saur into the sky.
"You got 'em, Rorg!" Socks, his sidekick, appears while riding a robot ostrich. A girl with wild white hair is flying next to him. She has a pink leotard and pink boots, along with a pink gem on her forehead. Her name is Winona, and she's the magical one of the trio. The two land on both sides of Rorg, watching as the Kanga-saur lands in front of them. It fires a flaming orb at them, but Rorg jumps over it. "Shockazam!"
"Abra-tastic, Rorg!" Winona compliments him.
Viceroy groans in his office, a blanket around him. There are various used tissues underneath the screen and near him. He blows his nose into a tissue, which then lands on the TV screen in front of him. McFist appears on the screen a few seconds later.
"We got it, you're sick! Quit milking it!" He shouts at him.
"Milking it?" The scientist stuffs a tissue up his nose. "You're lucky I even came to work today," His voice sounds sickly as well.
"Did you? Did you come to work today, Viceroy?" McFist mocks him. "I see you sitting there. But I don't see any robots getting built!"
Viceroy bends down and grabs his cup of tea. "How am I supposed to think of a new robot when my head's full of mucus?" He asks him.
"You're not going anywhere until you build me a ninja/kunoichi destroying robot!" McFist yells at him, hanging up. Rorg comes back on.
"I hop you're prepared to be destroyed, Kanga-saur!"
This gives Viceroy an idea. "Kanga-saur, hmm," He taps his chin. "Sounds Ninja-destroying to me," He laughs evilly, hacking up some coughs.
The three watch as Commander Boneface fires some magic from his staff. "Me thinks it's time to banish, thee!" Rorg calls out to his friends.
"Do it on the snappity, Rorg. Mid-day feast is about to pop!" Socks informs him.
"By the power of my right arm, I'm holding my sword up!" Rorg kneels and holds up his sword, light surrounding him. Winona spreads flames to his sword and he aims it at some rocks. They hit the Kanga-saur, some of the rocks getting into its pouch.
"That buster's packing ouch in the pouch."
The Kanga-saur then explodes, Winona placing her hands on her hips.
"Your kangaroo days have just hopped over, Boneface!" She declares to him.
"Nooooo!" He exclaims before he turns around and leaves, but it looks like he's shuffling.
"Rock 'em sock 'em!" Socks, Winona, and Rorg fist-bump each other. The citizens around them cheer.
"Rorg! Hero of A Past!" The announcer states, the trio appearing on a PSA. The three are holding glasses of milk.
"Always drink your milk."
"Calcium is good for the bones!" Winona clicks her teeth with a wink.
"Shockazam, kids," Socks grins and they clink glasses together. Then Heidi's broadcast interrupts the marathon.
"Hoozer Doozer here, with an important news announcement. A monster's rampizzling through downtizzle."
Randy gasps sharply and Amy is about to stand up when Howard leans forward, dragging her back down. "No, no! You can't leave!" He also tackles Randy so that they're trapped.
"Don't worry, I'm not. At least not until the Rorg-athon is over," Randy tells him to his relief.
"One of us is gonna have to go, Ran," Amy grabs her arm back from Howard. "We can't just save the city whenever we feel like it. You stay here, I'll go deal with the robot." She stands up and walks off. Running footsteps are heard behind her.
"Oh no you don't!" Howard grabs her leg from behind, causing her to fall onto the ground.
"Howard!" She sits up to glare at him.
"We are not a duo anymore," He gestures to himself and Randy. "We're a trio! So you're gonna sit right there and watch!" He places her back down next to her boyfriend, earning an annoyed look from the brunette.
"It's not that I don't want to be here, but Norrisville needs at least one of us. You think Ran stayed at home while I was too sick to go out once? No! He went anyway!"
"Technically, he tricked me and it wouldn't have happened if he didn't ask McFist to send a robot to the school," Randy points out to her. "But Ames is right, we can't just do sit here and watch Rorg."
"We can and we are!" Howard replies stubbornly.
"I'll be with you delivering all the deadly deets," Heidi gestures to flames behind her and then looks back with a panicked look. "Looks like the Rorg-athon is Rorg-ath-off."
Howard gasps sharply at this news, grabbing Randy's shirt. Amy stands up, dusting herself off. "Get downtizzle, stop that bot and make it quizzle!"
"But-"
"I said quizzle!" Howard shouts, crossing his arms with a pout. He looks to Amy, who just holds up her hands in defense. Randy stands up, goes to her, takes off his diaper, and then runs after her.
A car is thrown at a building, where another one is already stuck in a window. Citizens run off screaming and the duo appear in front of the building in a pink/red smokebomb.
"Smokebomb!"
They're starting right at a robotic Kanga-saur. "Kanga-saur?" Ninja asks in surprise. The robot roars at them. "What the Rorg?"
"Obviously Viceroy built it, but I'm not sure if it's coincidence or if he just ran out of ideas," She glances at him. The Kanga-saur leaps forward, kicking them into the building. They end up crashing through the building, ending up in one of the cars. Ninja emerges from the trunk in one while Kunoichi kicks open the window of another. She lets down her hair and slides back down onto the sidewalk. Ninja jumps and lands besides her, the Kanga-saur jumping over their heads. It swings its tail and sends them flying. They jump on various rocks, both of them holding onto various parts of white hair. Ninja swings from a flag pole, going back to the robot and kicking it into a wall. He lands in front of the robot as Kunoichi lands in front of him.
She starts tying her hair back up just as Ninja gets a phone call from Howard. "What is taking so long?" He complains to his best friend.
"You're not going to believe this, but we're fighting a Kanga-saur!" Ninja exclaims in awe.
"Like from Rorg? Are you sure?" Howard questions, raising a brow. The Kanga-saur roars right behind Kunoichi, her braid flying past her head. She has a wide-eyed look and turns around, only to get her hair grabbed between its legs. It starts using her like a yo-yo.
"Absolutely positive!" She calls out, and then it throws her into Ninja before he could do anything. They land next to a meter, the Kanga-saur hopping over to them.
"Then just fill its pouch and get back here!" Howard demands him. "That's what Rorg did."
"Can I have that?" Kunoichi holds out her hand and he puts the phone in her hand. "Hey, Howard? Not sure if you know this. Listen to me, buddy. But uh...WE'RE NOT RORG AND WINONA!"
He winces at the screaming and Ninja takes the phone back. "She has a point. This isn't a cartoon."
"Okay, then do your thing."
The Kanga-saur jumps and stomps on the meter. Thankfully they're not hurt by it and Ninja throws up a pink ball.
"Ninja-Expanding-Stuff-Bomb!" He throws it into the pouch, and the bomb explodes, defeating the Kanga-saur. An explosion occurs, but Kunoichi's hair had saved from the blast. The white hair falls around the two and she sits on her knees, looking at him.
"Huh."
"Wow, that...that worked," Ninja is also surprised by that solution.
"Was it my thing? Is that what worked?" Howard asks in excitement.
"Totally worked!" Ninja cheers, helping the girl up. "A smo-boom!" The two disappear from the streets.
Viceroy, who hadn't seen what happened, closes his briefcase. He sighs in relief and is about to leave when McFist appears on screen again.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Viceroy groans, turning around. "You said once I built you a Ninja/Kunoichi-destroying robot, I could go home."
"What I meant to say was, 'You're not going anywhere until you destroy the Ninja and Kunoichi!' Also, you got a little booger," He hangs up and Viceroy glances to his nose, which does have a booger seeping out. He groans, wiping his nose with his sleeve.
Once the two have returned back to Howard's room, the Rorg-a-thon is airing again.
"By the elders of Kaaruth, I command thee to follow me!" Rorg is using a red cloth like when a bullfighter would entice a bull.
The three are facing a bull-mime, which is pulling forward invisible rope to chase Rorg. "Mime to put an end to this." He waves the cape and the mime leaps forward after pretending to be in a box. "A-ha-ha!" Rorg moves away and the mime rolls onto his feet. He attacks again and Rorg pulls out his sword. "It's slice knowing you, Mime-o-taur," Winona holds it place with her magic and Rorg slices it out of existence.
"Silent but dead. Shockazam!"
"It was cutting to know you, Mime-o-taur," Winona salutes a little.
The crowd cheers again. "Yay!"
"Rorg! Hero of A Past!"
Howard laughs, pumping his fist. "Shockazam! I'm sure there's people out there who watch this for Rorg, but me, I'm a Socko man."
"I can see that," Randy comments to him.
"And Winona is kind of lame with her catchphrases, but I like the fact that she's magical."
Randy gasps sharply, hugging the girl. "I can see that too! Your hair is technically magic!"
"It does what it wants, but I wouldn't say that's magic. More like part of the suit," Amy waves it off.
"Hold the Rorg, Ween-amis," Heidi interrupts the marathon again, and this time, she's at Charlie Clucker's. "Robo-rage at Charlie Cluckers! Ninja and Kunoichi better poof, pronto," She glances over her shoulder at an actual Mime-o-taur. "Mime's running out!"
"Is that a Mime-o-taur?" Howard's eyes shine at it.
"What the juice? First Rorg fights a Kanga-saur and a Kanga-saur attacks. Then Rorg fights a Mime-o-taur and a Mime-o-taur attacks?" Randy gasps in realization. "Do you know what this means?"
"...Cartoon monsters are escaping their TV prisons and rampaging!" Howard holds his head in a panic.
"What? No," Amy stops and thinks. "Well, there was that time Brock Octane jumped out of the Grave Puncher movie in 7-D...but no, that's not it."
"Hmm, could be, could be. Or maybe Viceroy's coping his monsters from the Rorg marathon!" Randy exclaims at Howard.
"Eh, I like mine better," Howard crosses his arms.
"But why would Viceroy make the robots if they're easier to defeat?" Amy rubs her chin.
"If I'm right, and I'm pretty sure I am, we already know how to beat this thing!"
The Nomicons buzz nearby and Randy takes his book. "Ah, no need for the shloomp, Nomicon. We got this."
They vibrate again and Amy gives him a look. "You really want a repeat of the last time you didn't go in?"
"...No, I do not," He cringes at the reminder and opens the book. Amy opens hers and they fall onto the ground once they're shloomped. They fall through the sky, screaming before he lands on the ground face-first. Amy lands on top of hay in a cart, blinking down at Randy. They turn to a snake hissing at a dog.
"To defeat your enemy, you must know which enemy you are fighting," The advice directs the arrow to the snake, Doodle Ninja and Doodle Kunoichi appearing. They pull the snake out of the ground, but it was actually belonging to a dragon. The snake-tail laughs at the two. "We know exactly which enemy we're fighting. The Mime-o-taur! Rorg, episode 67. Criminal Mimes."
"I wouldn't go too far to read into the fact we're facing a robot inspired from the episode," Amy raises a brow at him.
The dragon breathes fire onto them to vloomp them out. Howard picks up a stray McSquiddle from the ground when the two sit up.
"BRB, Big H. We gotta go get our Ninja on. Rorg-style."
Amy stifles a laugh, following after Randy.
"Oh, I wanna go Rorg-style," Howard complains, crossing his arms. He glances at a blue helmet, some glitter, and a yellow string. "Hmm, idea..." Then he eats the McSquiddle.
People run out of the restaurant screaming while two employees are hiding behind the counter. The Mime-o-taur breaks the chicken head off the prop.
"Smokebomb!" Ninja and Kunoichi appear on top of a booth. "Hold it right there, Mime-o-taur. I mean, wait a second. Halt! By the elders of Kaaruth, I command thee!"
"Oh man," Kunoichi giggles, pinching her nose.
The Mime-o-taur pretends to be in a box.
"Wow, that is really convincing!" Ninja steps up to him and Kunoichi holds out a hand.
"Ninja, wait!"
He appears right next to the robot. "Wait, are you really trapped in a box?"
The robot then punches him into Kunoichi and they both hit the wall. The two land on a table and Ninja sits up.
"He mimed me! He mimed me so good!"
"This is why I said to wait..." Kunoichi murmurs weakly, holding her head. He gasps as he snaps out of it, both of them jumping in opposite directions. The Mime-o-taur crashes into the booth and Kunoichi lands behind it, glancing at her partner.
"If this thing's really like the Rorg monster, all we have to do is..." Ninja holds his scarf like a cloth. The Mime-o-taur drags a leg against the floor, jumping towards them. "Slice knowing ya! Kuno!"
She takes out her fans and tosses them, cutting off the legs. Then Ninja slices the robot in half, the defeated robot landing nearby as Kunoichi catches her fans.
"Silent but dead."
Their eyes widen at the voice, and they turn towards the entrance. They see smoke, and he glances down at the girl. A horn honks and Howard emerges riding a scooter. He's wearing an outfit similar to Socko's.
"Shockazam!" He skids to a stop in front of them.
"What the Socko?" The two ask in unison, shocked to see him like this.
"Ninja, Kunoichi, it's me, Howard," He lifts up the goggles from his helmet.
"We know it's you," Ninja steps up to him. "You can't be here, it's dangerous."
"So I should go?" Howard wonders, pointing towards outside.
"Ehh, Howard's not really in any danger since we're here," Kunoichi points out to her boyfriend.
"Well, point, it's not actually dangerous. Viceroy's just copying Rorg monsters, and we know how to beat 'em," Ninja agrees, gesturing to themselves.
"You know, eventually Viceroy's gonna catch on and make a robot that we can't beat. Why he's making Rorg monsters for robots, I'll never understand..."
"So I should stay?" Howard wonders again, glancing between the two.
"But if anyone knew you were you, they'd know we're us!"
"But only one other person knows about us, and no one's gonna deduce that we're us with him around," Kunoichi gestures to herself, blinking. "Trust me, that logic makes sense in some capacity," She points at Howard after a few seconds.
"Oh, so I should go?" Howard asks for the third time.
"But no one's gonna recognize you in that fantastic Socko costume."
"Oh, it's definitely Socko-like," Kunoichi nods in agreement with him.
"So you're saying..."
"Howard, we be getting our Rorg on!" Ninja wraps his arms around the two.
"Shockazam, Ninja and Kunoichi!"
The two fist bump.
Rorg
Hero of a Past
Viceroy wipes his nose and gets to working on another robot so he can finally go home. He watches as Rorg rips off the tentacle of a rock-spider.
By the power of his right arm
Winona blasts it away with her magic, Socko doing some air guitar.
Ninja pulls off the arm of the same monster as a robot, Kunoichi knocking it away with her hair.
He'll stop evil with a blast from his sword
Viceroy puts on a vapo-mask over his face to make him look more evil.
And now the search is up
Next is a creature with lightning for spikes. Rorg throws a rock in front of a waterfall, spraying it. Winona traps it in a bubble and then the creature is gone.
It's a warrior from the future
Socko dances around.
Shock-a Shockazam
Ninja breaks open a water tank to splash the robot with, Kunoichi trapping it with her hair. Then it explodes and her eyes widen as her hair fails, with no robot to be seen.
Howard dances around as Ninja stands heroically.
He's Rorg
Hero of a Past
Viceroy tugs on his hair in frustration, and it stays like that, looking like freaky pigtails.
Rorg steps on the head of a creature he's just defeated. Winona stands a few feet behind him, her hair flowing to her side. Her hands are on her hips. "By the power of my right arm..."
"I'm holding my sword up!" Ninja is in the same pose as Rorg from the show, and same thing goes for Kunoichi with Winona. Her scarf flows to her left as Howard drives around.
"Mmm," Viceroy's eyes look crazed before they narrow. "Well, well. Ninja and Kunoichi are Rorg fans," He watches the two posing from his spot, letting out a cough. A tissue with mucus on it falls in front of his feet.
"What are you muttering about?" McFist asks him from behind. Viceroy lets out evil laughter, turning around and coughing. McFist yells in alarm as he sees what staying here sick has done to his employee. And he's only now feeling like he may have made a mistake doing that. Viceroy cackles evilly, scratching his cheek.
"Whoa, hey! Came down to yell at you, but now I'm thinking...ooh, maybe you should pack it up. Pack it. Over and out."
"Oh, I'm not going anywhere," Viceroy pulls him forward, even though he got what he wanted this entire time. But now, it's more than just not being able to go home. He won't stop until the two are actually destroyed. "They think they're onto me, but I'm onto them. All I have to do is flip the script!" He lets out another cackle, and he's now acting like McFist, if not even worse.
"I'm gonna...slowly back out of here," McFist himself feels creeped out by this new side of Viceroy, backing away and shuffling out the door.
"Chillaxia will be mine!" Commander Boneface declares from the TV show.
"At last!" He and Viceroy say in unison, both of them cackling in the same manner. Viceroy coughs after a few seconds.
Some people walk out of the McFist-a-Plex before screaming up ahead. In front of them is a spider-like robot with fingers for legs. They run off screaming as it approaches the building.
"Smokebomb!" Ninja and Kunoichi emerge, holding their signature weapons. "Ho, there, Tar-Hand-Tula. Unhand that McFist-a-Plex."
"Yeah! Important...people work there," Kunoichi smiles in embarrassment. She just hopes that it won't get damaged, since she's the assistant manager for the movie theater...
The Tar-Hand-Tula roars at the two before Howard drives up. He skids to a stop near the duo.
"Sorry I'm late, guys. Missed the light," He lifts up the goggles, both of them annoyed at this explanation. "And once you miss one-"
"Worry not, Socko," Ninja interrupts him. "We were just about to fell this foul, fingered fiend!"
"Ohh, Ninja, what are you doing?" Howard stops his friends before they could do anything. "This is the Tar-hand-Tula episode."
"Right, right," Ninja says in realization, Howard grinning proudly. "Attack-nophobia, where Socko defeats the monster!"
"Oh, I can't believe it. My first solo monster fight!" Howard fanboys at this.
"You so got this," Ninja encourages the obese boy. "All you gotta do is tickle his belly and his finger legs will fall right off."
"Then it's wam-bam shock-a-zam, and we're clinking cartons of two percent."
The three fist bump and they watch Howard run off to defeat the monster. "I still think you're underestimating Viceroy. Eventually he's gonna change it up," Kunoichi raises a brow, crossing her arms.
"You kidding? He's probably given up by now," Ninja waves it off.
"Well, for one, he'd only make so many Rorg robots before he catches on that they haven't come close to defeating us. You'd think that if I was him, I would make generally easy robots from a cartoon to defeat? And if he's a fan too, why would he even continue making them?"
"I dunno," He shrugs at her. "He's probably just bored."
"Given some of his duds, that would make some sense, but most of those dull robots were because of someone else," Kunoichi glances away in thought. "Maybe he's just sick from a cold and it's affecting his brain so much that he's become Commander Boneface."
"You really think so?" The boy asks his partner in surprise.
"It's only a theory. After all, he made a time machine out of a porta-potty just because his boss wanted him to for...I assume reasons."
"Huh. Well, even if it is true, we know how to defeat this one!" He gestures to the Tar-Hand-Tula and she gives an uncertain hum. She had a small feeling that they weren't dealing with the same exact enemy from the TV show.
Howard reaches out and tickles the Tar-Hand-Tula. "Shockazam!" However, nothing really happens, the robot turning around with a roar. "Hm? Shockazam!" He tickles the belly again, and drool lands on him. "Okay, why isn't this working?"
"I don't know," Ninja shrugs at him.
"You thought you could beat me at my own game, but it's my game," Viceroy jerks a thumb to himself. "And I'll cheat if I want to!" He cackles evilly as the Tar-Hand-Tula crawls over and grabs Howard.
"Ah! Why is this happening?"
"Maybe you didn't tickle him right?" Ninja calls out.
"You saying I don't know how to tickle? I know how to tickle," Howard defends himself.
"Nah, just let me do it!" Ninja throws his scarf to tickle it. "Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle."
The robot fires lasers and Kunoichi yelps as she rolls out of the way. It hits a streetlight and Kunoichi looks back to the remains in shock.
"Tar-Hand-Tula doesn't have lasers!"
Ninja dodges another one and Tar-Hand-Tula drops Howard. Kunoichi throws her hair to catch him and he lands safely. He yelps as the robot walks past him, turning around and firing.
"Oh, no."
He's hit with a web that sticks him to the wall. "You know, this would be funny—if it was happening to someone else!"
"That wasn't in the show!" Ninja shouts while the two are running. "It wasn't in the show!"
"Do you now understand that this isn't a cartoon?!" Kunoichi exclaims while running up a wall. Tar-Hand-Tula fires a web at her, but she flips out of the way. Ninja hides behind Slimovitz's car, which gets blasted into pieces.
"That wasn't in the show either! Ninja, Kunoichi, what is going on?" Howard demands them and the robot focuses his attention on him.
"What is going on? This was supposed to be easy. We knew how to beat it," Ninja holds his head in a panic as Kunoichi lands next to him. The advice appears from the front of the movie theater. "To defeat your enemy, you must know which enemy you are fighting."
"Could you doodle a little faster?" Howard yells at them from his spot as the robot is getting closer to him.
"We thought we were fighting Rorg's enemies, but we're fighting my enemies!" Ninja gestures to himself and his partner. Howard lets out a scared yell as the Tar-Hand-Tula is getting closer.
"Ah, guys!"
"Viceroy knew we knew," Ninja rubs his chin. "So he knew if he flipped the script we wouldn't know. We gotta unflip the script!" He grips his scarf, glancing at Kunoichi. "And how would we do that?"
"I'll make this easy for you," She places a hand on his shoulder. "We fight the robots like we always have!"
Howard screams as the robot grabs him. Ninja grabs one finger while Kunoichi grabs the other with her hair.
"Ninja Unflip The Script!" They run backwards while pulling, moving the robot away from Howard. It starts firing webs at the two. "Ninja Web Dodge! Ninja Web Dodge!" The two jump back and forth to avoid them. They jump into the air and Ninja gets hit, getting stuck between the buildings. Kunoichi gasps and then she gets hit from behind, landing on the ground. She grits her teeth while trying to break free, the Tar-Hand-Tula walking up to Ninja. He hisses and Viceroy laughs, only to cough. He sips some tea and continues laughing.
Kunoichi's hair lifts up, pulling the girl free. Ninja activates his Tengu Fire to break himself free, jumping away as the spider robot lunges forward. He crashes into the wall next to Howard, who goes over to him. Then he turns and runs away screaming before getting stuck to the wall again. The spider-robot steps onto Ninja's chest, and he looks up to see a prop hanging from the ceiling.
"Kuno!" He points up to it and she throws her hair, grabbing it. She then pulls it off and it goes flying, the boot prop stomping the robot to destruction. The purple goo left behind lands on Kunoichi and she groans in disgust.
Howard gasps, remembering that Ninja was in the same area, but he emerges a few seconds later, landing next to his partner.
"None of that was in the show."
Ninja pulls out his sword and cuts Howard free. "From now on, we watch cartoons. We don't live them."
"Shockazam," Howard says in agreement.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go wash this off..." Kunoichi looks at herself.
"Smokebomb," Ninja throws it and Howard coughs, waving his hands once they're gone. He lifts up the goggles to see his ride and gets on. He then drives off on his scooter.
"NOOOOOOOO!" Viceroy cries out in dismay. McFist peeks in from the door.
"Listen, I'm not feeling so hot. Probably nothing, but better safe than sorry, right? So, I'm gonna bug out..." He zips away from the door and Viceroy lets out a few cries at his defeat.
"By the power of my right arm, I'm holding my sword!" Rorg declares as the episode ends.
Randy, Amy, and Howard are sitting next to each other, holding cartons of milk. "Always drink your milk, kids."
"Shockazam!" Randy exclaims and Amy winks.
"Calcium is good for the bones!" They clink cartons and take a sip in unison with their straws.
