Angel: Here it is, the final special and episodes of the series...I hadn't done a story this big since TMNT 2003, so it's kind of weird that I'm finishing a 100 episode series. Code Lyoko came close, but missed that by only one. But I definitely had fun writing the series. I'm just grateful that you guys enjoyed it as much as I did. Thank you to all who read it from episode one till now, and who favorited, who followed, and for reviewing!

One thing I did not have fun with were the first few reviews, asking me to put Randy with Theresa...I understand that a bunch of people ship them, but in no way should I be asked to change shipping Randy and Amy just to satisfy other people. Nor should you spam authors just to get something you want. If you wanna rewrite this story to have Randy and Theresa shipped, go ahead and do it, but if it's taking away from this one word-for-word, then...you know, obviously don't XD Other than that, I loved reading everyone's opinions.

Also, this is the first time I've ever seen the special ever since it aired. I did not watch it when I was rewatching the series for this story, because I wanted to keep it special.

Norrisville is now very dark given the recent events, with Kunoichi and Ninja standing on top of McFist Industries. They wouldn't have gone there if the roof didn't have the best view of the city overall. Kunoichi takes a deep breath, trying to focus herself. She never thought she'd see the city in this state, especially when she's only been here for a year. True, she visited several times, but never did she think it'd look like something out of a horror movie.

"Where are you, Evil Cyborg Julian? Where...are...you?" Ninja questions ominously, narrowing his eyes.

"Were those dramatic pauses really needed?" Kunoichi crosses her arms.

"Considering we don't know where Evil Julian or the real one is, yeah!" He turns to her and she sighs at the reminder.

"There's been no trace of the real Julian, and no one remembers seeing him at all after the trip to Snow-Klahoma..." She's spent the last several days searching for the real Julian, but nothing. No leads, no witnesses, no accounts of his whereabouts in town. It's like the real Julian had disappeared from Norrisville entirely. Ninja's phone suddenly rings and she gives him a 'really' look.

"Uh..."

He answers Howard's phone call. "Hey, Cunningham, I came by so you could walk me to school, and, uh, well, we got a problem! Wait, is Smith with you?"

"Yeah," Ninja glances at her.

"Put me on speaker!"

He shrugs after debating it and does so. "WE GOT A PROBLEM!" Howard reiterates loudly, both of them covering their ears. Luckily Kunoichi's hair saves his phone before it could get damaged. Ninja takes it back from her as she looks over his shoulder at his phone.

"Is it Evil Julian?!"

"It's worse!" Howard's eyes widen in horror.

"Howard, Evil Julian has all the power balls. We're not coming down from here until we find him! And preferably after I kick his butt for all the times he's tried to kidnap Ames!" He punches his hands together with narrowed eyes.

"If we don't find him soon, he's gonna shoob the entire city!" Kunoichi nods in agreement with him...on finding Ghoulian, not the butt kicking part. "But don't you think you're taking this a little too personal with Evil Julian?"

"Personal? What? No!" Ninja laughs it off with a nervous look in his eyes. "I mean, all he did was try to force my girlfriend to be his queen for eternity multiple times. And the real Julian still has a crush on you, which I'm not okay with. Personal, it's anything but personal."

She raises a brow at his response and then turns to his phone. "Okay then...Sorry Howard, but whatever it is, it's gonna have to wait. Stopping Evil Julian is the only thing on our agenda right now."

"Ohh...in that case: It's Evil Julian! He's here!"

"We're on our way!" Ninja declares, hanging up. He grabs Kunoichi in his arms bridal style, sliding down the wall.

"You know, you can put me down. I can get down a building," She states to him, his scarf and her hair flying.

"I know, but you love it when I carry you," He nuzzles her nose lovingly and she scoffs.

"Yeah, sure." She blushes to herself at his gesture as he smirks behind his mask. Kunoichi sees his look and pinches her nose. "If I admit it, will you stop?"

"No, I actually love it," He then looks away with a small pout. "Why are you even still looking for Julian, anyway?"

"We're heroes, Ninja. And heroes don't leave people in danger. Wouldn't it hurt to know that Julian could be hurt and no one's there to help him? I don't like him the way he likes me, but it's not fair to him to leave him trapped wherever he is. And I bet you that Ghoulian is behind it like the selfish person he is," She crosses her arms with an angry look. "We can't just ignore his absence, can we?"

"...Yeah, I see your point," He sighs a little. "But I don't like it."

"You'll see that it's the right thing to do," She pats his cheek softly.

"Where are you, Ninja and Kunoichi?" McFist asks as he glares out his window. "Where...are...you?" He even uses the same dramatic pauses as his enemy in the exact same way.

Viceroy walks in to give him some news. "Sir, I finished installing the monster alarm at Norrisville High."

"So?" McFist wonders in disinterest. Unless there was a monster that was successful in destroying his enemies, he usually didn't bat an eye everytime they showed up at the school.

"So next time a monster attacks, we'll know," Viceroy explains to him.

"So?"

"So where there's monster, there's Ninja and Kunoichi," The evil scientist tries again to make the point clear. "Mm?"

"When the alarm goes off...we'll capture the Ninja and Kunoichi!"

Viceroy pinches his nose in disbelief as he leaves the office. "I'm a genius!" McFist exclaims and then glares. "Gonna find you, Ninja and Kunoichi. Gonna...find...you."

He's so focused on this that he doesn't even bat an eye when his enemies slide past his window.

Ninja leaps onto a roof, flipping so that they land next to Howard. He places his partner gently onto the floor, glancing around.

"Alright, Evil Julian, time to... Evil Julian?" Ninja and Kunoichi are both confused to find that he's not even in the area. "Hey, where's Evil Julian?"

"Oh yeah. No, he's not here," Howard simply answers and Kunoichi balls up her fists in anger.

"HOWARD!" They both exclaim at him.

"What gives?!" Kunoichi demands to the boy. "You can't just falsely call us over to hang out when we have Ninja and Kunoichi business! If you haven't noticed, one of our enemies now has the capability of destroying the city, not even that, the WORLD! Not to mention that we still have a missing boy to look for!"

"There is nothing more important than finding Evil Julian and stopping him before he takes over the universe!" Ninja panics to him. Howard directs both of them to Randy's house and they both gasp.

Because Gene is putting up a sign on the lawn.

A for sale sign.

"Is that a-"

"It is," Howard answers him quickly.

"Are we-"

"You are! Cunningham, you're moving!" Howard explains, and Ninja reacts by fainting. Kunoichi places her hands on her heart as it's moving fast. She could only look at the sign in horror as her worst nightmare has come true. She didn't fear the possible outcome of one of them moving until today, and she wasn't even aware that it was something she feared.

Some water is splashed over Randy. "Ah! Drowning!" He sits up to look at Howard and Amy, who has taken her mask off. "Why'd you throw water on me?! How'd I get to my room?!" He then looks down and sees that he's not wearing his regular pants. "These are not the pants I put on this morning."

"That's not important right now!" Howard exclaims at him.

"But...these pants are not the pants I put on," The taller boy insists, as they look like something he'd wear to a disco party.

"I overheard your parents," The shorter boy changes the subject. "You're moving tomorrow!"

"I'm moving tomorrow?!" Randy holds his head in a panic.

"What?! They can't do that, can they? And not even telling him?" Amy opens her mouth in shock. Either he was too busy finding Evil Julian for him to not notice somehow, or they didn't bother to tell him at all. Even when she was moving, her parents wouldn't have waited that long to actually tell her about it.

"They can't do that because we are not gonna let that happen!" Howard stops Randy from fainting again. He then starts going through Randy's closet. "Pack a bag. You can hide out at my house!"

Randy glances down at his bag, which has the Nomicon and mask in it. Amy must've taken it off him and helped Howard get into his room. He takes the mask and grips it, looking towards Amy.

"I can't do that."

"Oh, you're right, it's the first place they'll look," Howard turns around to him. "...Ah! We'll get an apartment! Smith's parents can pay for it, they've got the money."

"If I'm moving tomorrow, we have to stop Evil Julian today," Randy murmurs to Amy.

"I'm thinking a two bed, two bath on the West Side," Howard explains as they glance out the window. "Pool'd be a plus, but no jacuz? That's a deal breaker."

They crawl out the window and Randy rolls into the bush, Amy wincing. She glances behind her and slides down the roof. She grips onto the gutter and gently swings into the bush. Both of them transform behind it and emerge as Ninja and Kunoichi. He glances at her, noticing her sad expression.

"Don't worry, we'll find the real Julian and stop him."

"But Ran, you're moving. And on such short notice..." Kunoichi rubs her arm with a frown on her face. They didn't really discuss whether or not they'd be in a long-distance relationship because they didn't think either of them would move. It wouldn't have made sense for Amy to move again if she had started out a new freshmen student. And Randy has lived in Norrisville ever since he was born, so they had just never discussed it.

"We can video chat, text, call," He places his hands on her shoulders. "Just because I'm moving doesn't mean we can't make this work!"

"We both know that a long-distance relationship isn't our style," Kunoichi sighs a bit.

"But it can be! Relax, even if I'm not here, I'll always be with you," He smiles and she's about to speak up when he stands. "If I was amassing my power, where would I hide?"

Kunoichi tries not to burst into tears right then and there. She doesn't want a long-distance relationship, they almost never work. She'd never get to actually see him everyday or to hold him or kiss him. And she isn't ready to lose him so soon...but if she tells him that, she might break his heart. Even though it's hurting her that he's moving, and he's not even considering her feelings on this...

Ninja takes a look around, seeing his neighbor. "Hey-ya Ninja and Kunoichi!"

"The sewer!" He sees the manhole on the road. "That has to be it!"

Thunder strikes and they look up to see Mt. Chuck glowing green. "Or Mt. Chuck...is another option."

Kunoichi snaps out of it, hoping that she can get used to the long-distance thing the more she puts it off. She has other things to focus on right now. And maybe it'd make him happy if she just accepts it as is...

They both head for the volcano.

"And, yes, you guys are gonna have to cover all the rent. And utilities. And food. But I'll bring the bean bag!" Howard's eyes widen as he grabs it. "Also, can I borrow your bean bag?" He then realizes that neither of them are in the room. "Guys? Guys? Guys?!"

The duo reach the top, landing on the green substance. Oddly, it's closing off the volcano, and it was definitely not there before.

"Ninja Hand Drill!" Ninja stabs the drill into the surface, struggling to make a dent. Kunoichi glances around, wondering if that's the only option to get in. Ninja groans as he's not making much progress, stretching his arm. Once he tries again, he has to rub his hands to finally do it once more and break in. He peeks through the tiny hole to see Ghoulian with an open portal to the Land of Shadows.

"Come to me, my minions! Together we will plunge this world into darkness! So begins my reign of shadow!" He declares, alarming Ninja all the way from the top.

"Evil Julian!" Kunoichi gasps once she hears him say the name. "Not on our honkin' watch. We gotta stop him? But how? How? Huh. How to stop Evil Julian...?"

"It's gonna be next to impossible to pull it off. He's got all of the power balls now," Kunoichi crosses her arms.

Their Nomicons hum from their suits and they take them out. "Thank cheese, Nomicon! I got nothing. Please tell us you got something."

They flip their pages, falling onto them once they're shloomped in.

The two fall into a crater, crawling out of it. They're surrounded by dozens of craters, big or small. "What the juice?" Randy murmurs in confusion and they stand up. They look towards one of the craters to see a flashback of Catfish Booray finding one of the power balls.

"What we got here?"

The next memory is of Evil Julian splitting from his normal self when Ninja was saving him at his birthday party.

"What do I want from me?"

They see Julian get split up and Amy gasps.

"Freedom. Here, take my hand," Evil Julian grabs onto Julian's arm in the bathroom while Randy was in the Nomicon at the time. Julian tries to get him to let go.

"No, let me go!"

Randy and Amy both gasp this time. "Ohh, so that's what happened to him in the bathroom! When we went to Snow-Kalhoma. That's why he was so spooked!"

"Woof. Sure are a lot of lowlights here. You got any highlights in these holes?"

"Oh my god," Amy groans at the joke, rolling her eyes. "Never say that again..."

Ghoulian places a power ball into his chest and then the holes show Randy's mistakes before and after Evil Julian came along.

"Fine, yes, I get it, I've shoobed up a lot! Just tell us how to beat Evil Julian! Tell us what to do!"

"What he means is, we need some guidance," Amy corrects, hoping he'll calm down a little. Steam comes out of the ground to form the advice.

"When facing an unbeatable enemy, seek an unlikely ally. That's not a plan! That doesn't even make seeeense!" He falls into a crater while saying that last sentence.

The two lift up their heads from the books. "Unlikely ally. Where am I gonna find-" Ninja's phone rings, interrupting them. He takes out his phone and gasps. Howard's contact picture is a disgusting one of him eating a hamburger in a very messy way. "Howard! Of course! He's totally unlikely!"

"Howard? Really? I'm not too sure about that one, he's always helped us reluctantly. And what's he even going to do?" Kunoichi responds, but he answers the call anyway.

"Real cool, Cunningham," Howard remarks once the call gets through. "We were supposed to run away together! You and Smith totally ditched me, didn't you?"

"Listen, I need you to get to Mt. Chuck as fast as you can," Ninja tells him urgently.

"You wanna run away to Mt. Chuck?" Howard chuckles a little. "I mean, it's a little rustic for my taste, but if the utilities are included, it could work!" Ninja gives a blank look that Howard is still on this, even though it's not happening. "Alright, don't sign anything til I get there!"

"Does he really think that you could buy Mt. Chuck to live in?" Kunoichi rolls her eyes. "Ninja, that's just wasting time, I don't think Howard's going to be of any help."

"Just trust me, I got this," He gestures to himself. "Just like we got this long-distance thing down."

She frowns and Ninja goes back to peek inside the volcano. However, Ghoulian is no longer inside.

"Huh? Where'd he go?"

"He's right behind you, Ninja!" A voice speaks up from behind and then he wraps around an arm around Kunoichi's neck, lifting her from the ground. She yelps, struggling to get away from him.

"H'oh boy. Ah!" Ghoulian attacks him and he falls inside.

"Ninja!" Kunoichi yells and Ghoulian falls as well, dragging her with him. "No!" Ninja lands on the platform while she and Ghoulian land a few feet away.

"We've played this game before, Ninja! You cannot win!"

"Oh, I'm not doing it alone. We got unlikely help on the way," Ninja gets onto his feet.

Howard in the meantime is at the bus stop with a bored look on his face. "It's usually here by now," He complains, waiting for the bus. "Late...bus." He then picks up his phone and dials Kat.

"Hello?"

"Hey Kat, kinda have to bail on the hangout today! It's an emergency!" He says quickly into the phone.

"What kind of emergency?" She asks casually while sitting at her desk at home.

"Cunningham's moving and he asked me to live at Mt. Chuck with Smith!"

She gasps sharply upon hearing the news. "Moving?! Amy must be devastated."

"No, she's moving in with us. Gotta sign the papers, bye!"

He hangs up and she looks down at the phone in confusion.

Ninja flips away three times from attacks by Ghoulian. Kunoichi cartwheels, throwing Ghoulian onto the ground in one swift motion. He reaches out to grab her, but she backflips away from him.

"My army is coming, Ninja!"

"Yeah? Well, we got backup, too!" Ninja brags to him. "And my backup is gonna kick yo backup's butt!" He gets hit in the stomach by a blast.

Kunoichi rolls her eyes as he's giving Howard way too much credit, so Ninja was kind of asking for that one.

The bus doors open in front of Howard. "Is this the Crosstown?"

A wa-wa trumpet is then heard. "Oh, the 23 goes crosstown."

Then there's another trumpet sound. "Fifteen minutes? Yeah, I can wait 15 minutes. I'm in no rush." The bus then takes off without him.

Ghoulian giggles evilly as a monster comes out of the Land of Shadows.

"What...the juice...is that?!" Ninja asks from the ground.

"The first of many!" Ghoulian answers and the monster grabs the two. It lifts Ninja over his mouth while holding out Kunoichi to Ghoulian. She moves as far away from him as possible. "My soldier is hungry!"

"No, don't hurt him!" Kunoichi pleads, distracting Ninja to slice both tentacles off.

"Hi-ya!" The two land side-by-side. "I guarantee you my soldier is hungrier than your soldier!" He chuckles at the joke, his partner facepalming. That might've been a joke considering Howard's appetite, but if it was, it was a bad joke at that.

Howard stands at the Museum of Silt, using the vending machine. "Money goes in the slot, slot spits it out. Taking out the dollar and tryin' to flatten it out," He sings to himself while messing around with the dollar. "Put it back in the slot..." he picks some Tater Chocos, but one of them gets stuck while trying to get out. "Aw, a hangar?!"

He starts shaking the thing. "Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme!"

The monster smacks the duo and they slide backwards a bit. It lunges for them, but they dash out of the way. Ninja runs up a wall and jumps on its head, distracting the monster long enough to get sweep-kicked by Kunoichi. They run to another wall.

"H'oh, boy."

It grabs the two by the tentacles again, spinning around Ninja and throwing him into a rock wall. He falls onto the ground just as Howard comes in with his snack. He pants from the long walk inside, eating the rest of the Tater Chocos.

"Getting here...was so hard. A loft?" He glances around the volcano. "Ah, I had not considered that."

"This is getting old," Kunoichi mutters, both at this running away thing and getting snagged by the monster. She manages to free herself, landing on her feet as she rushes over.

"Howard, thank cheese! Nomicons said to beat Evil Julian, we need an unlikely ally. I'm thinking you flank him from the left-"

"What the juice are you talkin'?" Howard raises a brow in confusion.

"You're gonna help me defeat Evil Julian," Ninja gestures to the evil cyborg and then Howard sees the approaching monster.

"Are you out of your honkin' mind?! What makes you think I can help you two fight this thing!"

"But the Nomicon said-" Ninja pulls the two out of the way as the monster punches the wall instead of them. The three hide behind a rock.

"Newsflash! Nomicons don't know shoob!" Howard retorts, earning a smack to the back of the head by Kunoichi.

"I told you it wasn't him," Kunoichi pinches her nose.

"B-B-B-But we fought the Sorcerer together," Ninja protests to him.

"Oh, yeah, okay, cool, good idea. You got the Tengu/Wastrila Stone? Because, uh, last time you two turned me into a bird demon, which gave me the power to be useful in a situation like this!" Howard yells at the hero.

"And even then, it wouldn't be enough because Evil Julian's got the sorcerer balls in his possession," Kunoichi drags a hand down her face.

"Right, right, right, yeah. No, I kinda forgot about that..."

Before either Kunoichi or Howard could argue, the rock breaks into pieces behind them. The monster roars behind them, Ninja pulling them away. Evil Julian laughs evilly at this.

"Now destroy the boys! Bring Amelia to me!"

The monster prepares a blue fireball, the three ducking out of the way. "Run! Run!" Ninja urges them and they do so.

"What's it look like I'm doing?!" The shorter boy calls out.

Ghoulian then summons more monsters from the portal. "Yes! Yes! Oh, yes!"

The monster continues shooting flames, some of them getting too close for Howard's liking. "Ninja! It's getting hot back here!"

"Ninja Cheese Snag!" He grabs a cheese stalactite from the ceiling and Howard grabs onto his waist. Kunoichi grabs one with her hair and the two swing into the air. "We're gonna make it!"

Ghoulian then hits the two methods of support, breaking them. The three fall into a heap on the ground.

"We didn't make it," Howard states obviously and Kunoichi facepalms from underneath Ninja.

"Yeah, I caught that, buddy," Ninja replies in pain.

"Enough!" Ghoulian shouts, getting their attention. "Give up, Ninja!"

"Never!" Ninja declares, getting onto his feet and pulling out his sais. "You're gonna have to destroy us."

Kunoichi spins her nunchucks into her hands, glaring at their enemy.

"As you wish." Ghoulian directs his power to his hands and Howard gasps. The monster growls at them a little and Ghoulian fires a green energy beam. Howard yelps and ducks his head.

"Yep. Okay, I'm not doing this," He then makes a break for it.

The monster and Ghoulian both attack at the same time, Howard pulling both of them towards the portal.

"No, no, no! What are you doing, what are you doing?!" Ninja exclaims at their friend.

"Howard, don't, that's the-"

They get sucked into the portal before Kunoichi could finish that sentence, the two powers clashing together. Ghoulian laughs evilly once the three are gone.

"They have doomed themselves! And now nothing will stand in my way! This is Amelia's punishment for oppressing me! So, where was I?" He giggles evilly, about to use his powers of the portal, but they short out. Then the portal to the Land of Shadows starts to shrink. "No!" He taps on the power ball from his chest, gasping in horror to see the portal completely disappearing. "No! If I am to bring forth my army, I must gather more power!"

Howard throws water both onto Kunoichi and Ninja this time, waking both of them up. "What happened? What happened?" Ninja asks in a panic, glancing around rapidly.

"Well, the good news is we're alive, I think," Howard states as he's standing over them, their environment looking different. Kunoichi squeezes her hair dry next to Ninja.

"I do not like that tone right about now," She murmurs skeptically, glancing at her partner, and he was thinking the same thing.

"What's the bad news?" Ninja wonders knowingly, not liking where this is going.

"You guys might wanna see for yourself."

They sit up to realize why, both of them gasping. "H'oh boy." They're in a yellow sky, surrounded mostly by rocks or statues, and really not much of anything else. No signs of people either, and it seems like the rocks go on for miles.

"For the record, I wanted an apartment on the West Side," Howard points out. "Not a floating rock in the Land of Shadows!"

"Hey, you pulled us in here, Howard, not the other way around!" Kunoichi accuses him.

"Well, it was either that or getting our butts kicked!" He retorts back to her. "You're welcome."

"I never said thank you! And I don't want to."

"But I wouldn't have had to if you didn't rely on me to stop those things!" The shorter boy crosses his arms.

"I didn't believe it one bit, but noooo. He insisted that the unlikely ally was you," Kunoichi gestures to Ninja. He stretches out his suit a little.

"Why is my suit wet?"

"Oh, yeah," Howard chuckles as he holds up a hose. "I squirted you two with this hose." It's not a hose, however, given that it moves. Then it grows wings attached to a bat and flies away, causing both of them to scream.

"Stupid Land of Shadows," Ninja mutters at this.

"No wonder why the Sorceress hates it here," Kunoichi glances around in exploration. The other two start doing the same.

"There must be a portal here somewhere, or a wormhole, or a warp zone. Yeah, warp zone, that sounds right. Right, Kuno?"

"I'd like to believe it, since a powerful entity managed to escape it somehow. But I don't know the layout of this place..." Kunoichi sighs a bit, as having little to no knowledge of the Land of Shadows puts them at a disadvantage.

"There's nothing here," Howard gestures around them. "Just a bunch of rocks, and pebbles, and Julian."

"Julian?!" The two exclaim, rushing over to him. Ninja starts shaking the shorter boy.

"Wait, Evil Julian or Good Julian?"

Julian giggles as he's floating on a rock that's moving and he waves to them. Both boys have not-so-pleased looks on their faces. Kunoichi, however, is shocked to see him here of all places. Then again, given his evil self, she should suspend her disbelief just a little bit.

"Annoying Julian," Howard corrects them and both of them get elbowed by the only girl.

"Ow!"

"Guys, he's probably been here ever since Snow-Klahoma, Evil Julian must've thrown him in here. They switched places and no one was the wiser besides us," She explains to them. "Plus, at least we know that he's actually alive."

"...Ugggh, I hate it when you're right sometimes," Ninja groans at her and she smiles at him.

"Hello!" Julian greets them. "Looks like my rock wants to go this way. Well, lovely seeing you!"

"And now we're neighbors with Julian," Howard complains, stepping over to the edge.

"And yet I have you for a neighbor," Kunoichi crosses her arms, pointing at him knowingly. "So now you know how I feel on a daily basis."

"I do?" He asks in confusion as he's unaware that he's actually a bad neighbor. He sneaks into her house all the time, he steals her food, he uses her bathroom a lot. And he sometimes used to call her at times when she's busy to complain about Randy, whether she's listening or not. "You know this is all your fault, right?"

Ninja groans, throwing his scarf. Kunoichi throws her hair and swings past them. Ninja grabs onto Howard while following her. She swings upwards and lands on Julian's rock, followed by the boys.

"Oh my!" The goth boy turns to them in surprise. He stands up, a bit flustered. "Sorry about the mess. We weren't expecting company."

"We?" Ninja raises a brow in confusion.

"I thought you were alone here," Kunoichi tilts her head.

"Where are my manners? Kunoichi, Ninja, Howard, meet Tyler," He holds up the gargoyle head that was used to replace the power ball on Julian's birthday. The trio quickly glance between each other and him. Julian puts the head to his head. "Don't talk like that around our guests. Do you want them to leave? I-I'm so sorry. He's such a grump."

"Oh...wow," Kunoichi sweats awkwardly, leaning in towards Ninja. "I think all the isolation has gotten to his head..."

"Snacksies!" He pops up between them and holds up rocks in his hands. "I hope no one's stalactose intolerant!" He giggles and starts licking them as if they're delicious...

"Eww..." Howard pulls his friends towards him. "We gotta find that warp zone."

"Finding a warp zone in here is gonna be impossible..." Kunoichi comments as she looks towards just more rocks and pebbles.

Meanwhile, back in Norrisville, Ghoulian rides his monster out of Mt. Chuck, laughing evilly.

The students at the school are just walking around chit-chatting when the wall is burst open by Ghoulian. "Greetings, former classmates!" He announces and they all gasp. "This is the part where you scream."

They all run away screaming as cued, and all of this is near a vent. The Sorcerer puts a hand to his ear as he listens.

"My, my. I haven't tasted terror like this in quite some time!" He sends some stank through a pipe in the ceiling, and because the students are scared, they get surrounded by stank. Ghoulian giggles as he directs the stank to him. He laughs as lightning strikes from his body, a thunderstorm brewing.

An alarm beeps as Viceroy is doing something in his lab. He groans at the sound of it, lifting up his mask.

"This thing won't stop squawking!" McFist jumps around, holding a device.

"Sir, that's the monster alarm!" Viceroy calls out to him.

"Why is it squawking?!"

"There's a monster at the school!"

They sound louder than the alarm, which is a feat in itself.

"Oh, there's a monster at the—what are we standing here listening to this thing squawk for? Let's roll!"
