~Time skip to after school!~

Of course, the school day passed by quickly. Sometimes it amazed Danny how fast the day whizzed by. Other days he wondered why they didn't go faster.

"Hmm... We haven't been attacked today yet." Randy commented.

Just as the words were said, a robotic T-Rex crashed through the school's front gates.

Danny gave Randy a look. "Really?"

"What? How was I supposed to know?"

Danny just shook his head and looked around. Thankfully it was an hour past the end of the school day. There was no one around. The group had been hanging out and talking, time just flew away from them.

"Going ghost!" "Dragon up!"

Danny's rings appeared and he changed to his ghost form after a few seconds. Jake's holographic fire dissipated as he donned his dragon form. Randy kind of just appeared in his Ninja suit, which surprised Danny, saying how over-the-top the transformation was.

"Okay, ideas?" Jake asked, ready to leap into action.

The T-Rex was waving its head around madly, destroying everything in sight. It's eyes locked onto Randy, then glanced over the entirety of The Secret Trio. It paused for a second, as if to process the information, then let out a metallic roar and charged towards the trio.

"Ehm... At least it's not destroying the school anymore?" Danny's voice was shaky. He'd never dealt with a T-Rex before.

Randy let out a battle cry and engaged the T-Rex.

~POV switch to Randy~

Randy threw out some ninja stars mid-air, then landed and looked in awe as the robot shrugged off the attack. Randy narrowed his eyes, preparing for a different kind of attack, when Jake and Danny simultaneously shot an ecto beam and pillar of fire on the same spot he threw the stars at. He glanced up and saw the duo in the air, dancing back and forth to dodge the T-Rex's sturdy head as it swung back and forth.

Randy watched and backed off, thinking for a half of a second. The damage was pissing off the robot more than doing what it was supposed to do, which was to say, damage. He threw a couple more shurikens and dodged about, shouting his attacks as per usual. He was somewhat surprised that he was the only one to do so. Just then Danny was batted to the side with a well-aimed tail swing. Randy shouted to Danny, his attention taken for a brief second.

Randy went flying. The wall dented where he landed and he stopped moving for a second to recover his breath. His vision was slightly hazy as he watched Jake get the same treatment. Jake turned human. That couldn't be good. His vision re-focused and he jumped as fast as he could to avoid the T-Rex's charge. The Ninja glanced towards Phantom, who was struggling to get up, but looked relatively uninjured. Randy took stock of the situation. It looked like he was the most sturdy, Danny a close second. Randy dodged another charge and ran over to Jake.

"Yo, buddy." Randy shook the dragon.

He was out cold. Though, he only had a couple of bruises. Probably just the shock factor. Randy turned around, noticing the charging T-Rex and glanced behind him. He took a sharp breath and stood in the way of the robot and his friend. He braced for impact, but the dino was suddenly knocked off of its feet. Randy breathed a sigh of relief as Danny appeared in the air, hand sizzling.

Danny landed and began to speak. "Okay, so our attacks do little damage but his main method of attack is charging." Randy went back to looking at the T-Rex as it got up with a whurr. "So what we have to do is distract it and keep knocking it down. I'll try to freeze it to the ground whenever possible, so that leaves you to find it's control panel and deactivate it."

"Pff, with you around, who needs the Ninja Nomicon?" Randy joked.

"You do." Danny replied with a smirk.

Randy's response was a shrug, then he jumped to the side and tossed a rock at the dino. "Hey! Ugly!" He wasn't sure if the insult would work. A second passed, then its head turned to Randy, along with its gaze.

The Ninja twitched as the robot charged once more, not moving until he saw Danny's ice beam. Randy couldn't hear properly, but he was pretty sure Danny made another ice pun. The T-Rex fell to the ground and Danny took the liberty of freezing the bot to the floor.

~POV switch to Jake~

Jake groaned as his eyes blinked open, most of the pain coming from his left arm. He looked at the hazy colors before him in confusion, then remembered that they were in the middle of a battle. He snapped back to consciousness and spotted Randy on the T-Rex's back, desperately holding onto the bucking machine. Jake caught Danny's eye and the two made eye contact. In that instant, Jake understood what Danny was doing. He winced as Randy was thrown off of the T-Rex's back. The Ninja landed right next to Jake, the wall cracked under the impact.

"Woah dude, you okay?" He remembered a few -what he assumed- seconds ago when he was sent flying with the same force and blacked out.

"Yeah, this is nothing." He grunted and stood back up, rubbing some blood from the corner of his mouth. "This thing's pretty slick. I can't get a good grip."

"What're you trying to do to it?"

"Deactivate it. The control panel is on the back of its neck."

Jake nodded and partially transformed. He had his dragon wings, tail, ears, and claws. "Leave it to me."

Randy gave Jake a distrusting look. "No offence, but you blacked out from one hit."

Jake rolled his eyes, "I have more strength than you think. Trust me, it's like, my one redeeming factor." He paused, "Minus the fact that I'm a dragon. And the fact that I'm really, really cool."

Randy raised an eyebrow, but didn't give much question. He caught Danny's attention and held up a finger, "one more time."

Danny looked worried, but nodded, and continued to dodge the T-Rex, performing the knock-down-maneuver by himself.

"Good thing it's not that smart." Randy chuckled, then grabbed Jake's shirt and took off. "Ninja-tag-team-swap-onto-monster-back!" He tossed Jake onto the back of the beast with no mercy.

"Hey!" Jake protested, then braced for the impact, the breath knocked out of him as he landed.

He shot a glance to Danny, who looked horrified at the idea of Jake going in. The dragon smirked his response, digging his claws into the back of the T-Rex. Jake struggled to stay on the T-Rex's back as it returned to its standing position, and as it realized it had a person on its back. Jake grit his teeth and dug deeper into it's reinforced skin, using all four of his limbs' claws as hooks, then his tail and wings as balance. He climbed his way to the control panel and ripped it open. He leaned down as the bot attempted a rather violent shake off. Jake was getting dizzy with all of the bucking about, but held his own and managed to maul the wires in the circuitry. The dragon continued to hold on with all of his might as the robot slowly stopped bucking, then came to a stop with the sound of escaping steam.

Jake glanced up as Danny swooped in and attempted to remove the teen from the bot. Jake took a half a second and realized his grip was preventing Danny from picking him up. Jake turned all the way human and Danny shot off, grabbing Randy, narrowly avoiding an explosion as the bot self-destructed. He landed rockily on the grass in front of the school's lawn.

The trio laid on the ground where they crash-landed, exhausted. They looked at each other as the school burst into flames and grinned.

"Hahahahaha!" Danny was the first to burst into laughter, "Dude! You're a lot stronger than you look Jake!"

"Pff, I'm nothing compared to how badass this tank was!" Jake nudged Randy.

"Ha! Don't forget who came up with the plan!" Randy nodded towards Danny.

The three laughed for a couple of minutes, then stopped when they heard mumbles.

A couple of feet away McFist was standing in front of the school, a bright pink pig on a leash.

"Pig?" Randy's mouth was covered by Danny, who grabbed Jake and turned the trio invisible.

"Gah! VICEROY!" McFist shook his fist towards the robot, which was now cinders among a school on fire. He mumbled a few things then took his phone out, "Yes? 911? There's a school on fire out here. Just thought I'd let you know." He hung up. Jake was surprised that he didn't break the phone with the way he was gripping it. "Useless robot."

Jake felt a tug on his shirt and looked over his shoulder: Danny had stood up and was trying to inch backwards. Jake stood, followed by Randy, and The Secret Trio snuck out of the scene into the city.


Badass Randy strikes! :D

Who woulda known about Jake's physical abilities?

What about Danny's cunningness?

Muhahahahhahahahahahah! More to come!
