A/N: I OWN NOTHING BUT MY CHARACTERS!

~Third Person P.O.V~

It was lunch time at Norrisville high and the many students there were sitting down and enjoying their mashed potatoes.

Or at least they tried to.

A strong beat rang through the cafeteria causing everything in the room to shake and cause difficulties to the students trying to eat.

The source of it all was Bash and his crew in the middle of a rap battle.

"Oh, yeah! I'm rappin' I'm saying words while that guy makes funny mouth sounds Rap, yeah, beat that! "

Bash shouted the last part at his opponent, Rudd Rhymez, who just coolly nodded his head at his Mixmaster, Tiny Timmy Scratch it, who started to play a beat.

Rhymez picked up a microphone. "Your rhymes is cold and runny, sad and unfunny Like this plate of mashed potatoes,-" He picked a plate of mashed potatoes and dumped it on Hayden, who didn't seem to mind. "-make a kid sick to his tummy."

Rhymez then drops the mic in victory causing everyone watching to cheer.

"What happened?" Bash asked oblivious. "Did we win?"

Rachel, who was sitting a little ways from the battle, sighed in relief. "Thank cheese that's over. Good battle but glad Bash's group finally shuts up. Right Riley."

She didn't get a reply back.

"Riley?"

Looking over at her friend, she sighed in frustration at the sight of the red head fast asleep over her history book, again.

"Seriously?"


~Inside the Ninja/Kunoichi Nomicon~

Inside the two ancient books, our two heroes were trying to memorize a new attack.

"Okay, its waver then favor."

"Right."

"And Earth Attack is at the end."

"It should be..."

"OK, OK. I got it." Randy takes a breath and glances at Riley as they both stand on different rock columns; their speech appearing in the air. "Ready?"

"Yeah." Riley nodded before staring the spell. "Stay grounded, do not waver. The dirt itself will pay you a favor-"

Randy picked up, though looking unsure. " To stop...uh..your enemies-"

A harsh sound rang through the air stopping them and the two teens watched as enemies was scribbled out and replaced with foes.

Randy smacked his forehead in frustration. "Agh! I knew it was foes. So close."

"Take it from the top?" Riley suggested.

Randy nods while taking a breath and this time they spoke together. "Stay grounded, do not waver. The dirt itself will pay you a favor. To stop your foes and hold them back, harness the soil for an Earth attack."

The two teens yelped in surprise when they suddenly felt their rock columns shack a bit.

Glancing at each other then back at their columns, grins started forming on their faces as they both began moving their columns in different directions.

"So honkin' Bruce!" Randy exclaimed happily while Riley just giggled in excitement.

When Randy said this, letters started flying through the air before forming a message in front of the two teens.

-Words can be more powerful than the sword.-

Being a large fan of reading, Riley nodded in agreement with the lesson.

Randy on the other hand was skeptic. "Words, really? 'Cause I've never stabbed a robo-lizard with a word."

Randy's column did a sharp shake at this comment that made Riley shake her head. "You'd be surprised what a few words can do."

"Yeah well.." Randy regains his balance to look at his partner. "Till I see it then I'll believe it."

This time both columns started shacking and the two were pushed out of the books.

~Back Outside~


~Riley's P.O.V.~

"-ley! Riley!"

"Wha-" I shot up at the sound of my name. "What? Who? Huh?"

When I got my brain back into focus, I see Rachel across from me with her arms crossed and eyebrow quirked.

"Enjoy your nap?"

Laughing nervously, I stuffed the Nomicon back into my bag. "Sorry, studying time went on a little later than usual."

"Must have been really late for you to be able to sleep through a very loud rap battle."

"Really?" I acted surprised. "Wow. Well at least the battles over."

"Yeah." I notice Rachell's eyes flicker to the side. "But it looks like new battle just started."

"Hm?" Turning my head to see what she was talking about only to feel myself stiffen as I watch a familiar 'math book' fly through the air and land in Rudd Rhymez's mashed potatoes and cover his hoodie in the substance.

DANG IT RANDY!

Since our table was close to Rhymez's, I was able to hear what he was saying.

"Aww." Rhymez groaned. "I was just about to get my drink on and my snack on."

"Looks like the snack's on you. What-what!" Timmy teased.

"Not cool, Tiny Timmy Scratch-It." Rhymez chide as he picked up the 'math book' from his lunch.

I then notice Randy and Howard make their way over to the rapper.

"Hey, Rhymez. Randy Cunningham. 9th grader." Randy introduced himself. "Listen, I'm so sorry about your hoodie, but that's my book."

"Your book?" Rhymez repeated starting to look angry.

"Uh-huh. Sure is." Randy confirmed while rubbing the back of his head. "See, my friend Howard-"

Howard cuts Randy off and shoved him aside looking like a fanboy. "That's me. Howard Weinerman. Big fan. BTW, any openings in your posse?"

Randy rolled his eyes and pulled Howard back. "What I'm trying to say, that's my book on your tray."

That was apparently the wrong thing to say because Rhymez immediately got in Randy's face. "First you splatter me, then you rhyme at me?"

Randy quickly backtracks. "No, that wasn't supposed to be a rhyme. And I said I was sorry I covered you with slime."

I cringed slightly at the sound of gasps and oohing from the people watching.

Randy realizes his mistake and cringed. "Ahh! Accident. That was an accident."

Rhymez was literally shaking in rage. "Ooh, it is on like kettle corn. You want your book? You're gonna have to battle me for it."

I facepalmed.

"Yeah! Battle him, son." Howard echoed while lifting Rhymez arm acting like a hype man.

Rhymez took his arm back. "You ain't in my crew."

"Right..." Howard shuffled away awkwardly.

"Amphitheater." Rhymez glared at Randy. "Ten minutes, punk!"

Everyone gasped.

"Rap battle!" Tinny Timmy announced to the now cheering cafeteria. "What-what!"

"And when we're through, won't be nothin' left of your crew." Rhymez mocked before noticing that Howard had slid up next to him looking cheerful. "FYI. You're in his crew."

Glancing at Tiny Timmy, I gagged slightly at the sight of him stuffing the 'math book' in the front brim of his pants.

Ninja Nomicon will most definitely have a few choice words with Randy when this is all over.

Groaning from the building headache I felt, I got up from my seat and walked over to the two bros as Rhymez and his crew walked away.

Coming up behind Randy, I threw an arm around his shoulder and spoke in a casual tone. "So, Cunningham why's your book with someone else and not you. Again."

Randy flinched slightly in my grip before answering. "H-hey! Hey! This time it was not my fault. Howard took it and wouldn't give it back!"

My head snapped towards the shorter boy who immediately scrambled for an excuse. "W-well I only took the stupid book was he was to busy Nin- OW!"

Howard hoped on one foot while clutching the other after I stomped on it when Rachel starting walking over.

"Because learning is very important Weinerman." I said firmly while taking the conversation away from certain Ninja topics.

"That true. And I'm sure Randy has to pay for that book." Rachel said before looking at Randy. "Sorry about your math book Randy."

I let him go as he groaned into his hands. " What am I going to do?"

Placing a hand on his shoulder, I said. "For now, try and win that rap battle." I then whispered softly. "And if things get dicey we'll try and steal it later."

Randy just moans sadly in response.


~Third Person's P.O.V.~

"What up, 'N' to the "V' to the Double 'LE'?" Heidi greeted her watchers as she stood on the stage of the Amphitheater. "Hizzle-dizzle me-casting live from Word War One."

Randy and Howard walked down the path of parted students, waving.

"Maybe I should just Ninja out and steal the book back before the battle.." Randy suggested.

"No." Howard shot the idea down as he waved at the crowd. "If we don't show, we lose all the cred we have, which might I remind you, is no cred. We will have negative cred."

"Give it up for the future losers-" Heidi introduces them as they climb on stage. "-my brothetic brother Howard and his bestie Rudy."

'Seriously? Its Randy.' Riley corrected to herself from her position in the crowd.

Heidi covers her mic as she asks her brother under her breath. "What's the name of your crew?"

"Uh...we're uh ...2 Live Shoob."

"2 Live Shoob?!" Randy and Heidi repeated baffled.

"Yeah, it sounded cooler in my head." Howard admitted.

The sound of a mic drew everyone's attention to Rhymez as he started the match. "Aw, yeah. It's Rhymez times. Scratch it, Scratch-It." Tiny Timmy scratched some records. "You think you got mad flow, but you don't, bro. Drop the mike, let me go on with the show"

Randy fumbled slightly when catching the mic Rhymez threw at him.

Seeing his friend a little tense, Howard took the mic and attempted to sike Rhymez out. Awkwardly. "Yeah, Uh yeah. 2 Live Shoob up in this piece. You want the rhymes? You c-can't handle the rhymes of-Randy Cunningham." He then quickly shoves the mic into Randy's hands. "Here you go, buddy. I got 'em all warmed up for you."

Stepping back as Randy stepped forward; the purple haired teen gulped as he looked at the large crowd.

Riley couldn't help but bite her lip in worry as she watched Randy fidget.

"Uh My name is Randy and I'm here to say Uh..."

"What are you here to say?" Howard whispered as Randy faltered.

"I don't know!" Randy stressed while sweating. "I'm blanking out."

"Then why did you say, You're here to say?" Howard berated. "We're dying up here."

Randy felt himself sweat more in panic as his eyes darted around. Once landing on Riley who was watching him in worry.

While the gesture was sweet it also left a wave of humiliation in his gut for the fact his crush was seeing choke in front of the whole school.

And Heidi's commentary wasn't helping at all.

"And showing you the opposite of how it's done, it's 2 Shoobs Lose."

Glancing at his math book/Nomicon still inside Tiny Timmy's pants who was surrounded by Rhymez and the rest of his crew.

Doodles appeared in his vison as he remembered the Nomicon's lesson from earlier.

-Words can be more powerful than the sword.-

"OK, I hear you, Nomicon." Randy took a deep breath before facing Rhymez with determination. "Here we go- Yo yo-yo yo. Stay grounded, do not waver, The dirt itself will pay you a favor. To stop your foes and hold them back Harness the soil for an Earth attack!"

Riley's smile that bloomed on her face in the beginning of the rap slowly fell off her face and was replaced with a look of panic as she listened to the lyrics.

The crowd cheered making Randy and Howard smile.

"Keep going." Howard urged.

"That's all there is."

"Then make something up. Flow, Cunningham. Flow!"

"Uh OK, yeah." Randy thinks for a moment. "You thought I was defeated, overheated But I'm coming back with my Earth attack-"

Riley felt a small sudden tremor and started whipping her head around for the source.

"-Slithering, sliding, making you squirm You so small, you look up to a..." Randy trails off thinking and looks at his friend. "Howard, what rhymes with squirm?"

Howard opened his moth to answer when something catches his eye off stage and he points at it in shock. "Worm."

"Oh, worm, that's great." Randy nods not noticing his friend's distress and glares victoriously at Rhymez. "Worm! Yes! In your face, Rhymez. That just happened."

A sudden loud roar halted Randy's victory gloating as a gigantic monstrous worm burst out of the ground.

"Worm!" Heidi screamed as she recorded it bringing everyone's attention to it.

"Crud." Riley hissed under her breath before pushing through the panicking crowd to find a place to suit up.

"Oh, that's what it meant by powerful." Randy realized as Howard shot him a confused look.

Tiny Timmy then stood in front of bros and snatched the mic out of Randy's hand and held his 'math book' in the other. "I wanted to give you your book back, but I can't. Because you're a buster. And you rhyme like a buster, Buster."

The moment he finished the monster worm shot by while eating Tiny Timmy.

But before it could dive back into the ground, a familiar black and blue tessen hit the monster on the head.

Reeling back from the blow, the monster growled and turn it's head towards it's attacker.

The few remaining people in the area turn to look as well and to their relief saw their heroine in blue on top of the Amphitheater.

"Alright ugly, spit out the disk jockey and I might make your butt kicking a little less painful."

The giant worm just growled and dove back into the earth while closing the whole behind it.

"Oh come on!" Kunoichi jumped down to where the worm fled with Randy, Howard, Ryhmez and his crew following.

"It ate the Nomi-"

"Ahem!" Kunoichi loudly cleared her throat.

"-uh my math book." Randy quickly corrected. "And Timmy. That's bad too."

"No, not Timmy." Ryhmez fell to his knees in sorrow. "He was probably gonna graduate this year." He looks at Kunoichi pleadingly. "Your gonna save him right!"

"Don't worry." Kunoichi placed a comforting hand on the rapper's shoulder. "Ninja and I will rescue your friend."

Kunoichi sees out of the corner of her, Howard walking over and standing there awkwardly.

She thought he was trying to find a way to comfort the rapper.

Until he opened his mouth.

"I can't help noticing there's an opening in your posse."

The female Ninja was quick in holding back an angry Rhymez as Randy came over and dragged Howard away. "Just think about it. That's all I'm asking. "

After calming the rapper down, Kunoichi went over to Randy and Howard to join their conversation.

"Where'd that worm come from?" Howard asked out loud. "McFist? The Sorcerer?"

"Could be, could be," Randy nodded before trailing off nervously. "but I think maybe I caused it."

"Of course you caused it!" Kunoichi lectured making Randy flinch. "Seriously Randy, what were you thinking? Using the Earth Attack spell in a rap battle! A spell we still haven't fully figured out!"

"I choked!" Randy wined while pacing. "I thought of the first rhyme that came into my head."

"Yo, Cunningham." Ryhmez and his crew came over to the three. "Don't even think you won, son. You're lucky that worm came to the show, bro. You'll pay when we get Timmy back, Jack."

"Rhymez," Randy stressed looking done with everything. "Can you stop rhyming for, like, one second?"

Rhymez doesn't listen. "Nothing can shut off my rhymes. I do it all the times."

"Okay how about we al-" Another tremor interrupts Kunoichi's peace making and the monster worm shot of the ground, knocking Kunoichi, Randy, and Howard off their feet, under Ryhmez and his crew taking them into the air.

"Somebody turn in my book report-!" Rhymez screamed out before he and his crew were eaten.

The monster then retreated back into its hole letting the three teenagers left behind to peer down the hole.

"Uh Cunningham, why did it just eat Rhymez and his crew?" Howard asked his friend.

"I think it's defending me 'cause I conjured it." Randy eyes then widen in realization. "Oh, so that's the Earth attack."

"Well that answers a few questions." Kunoichi commented.

Howard slaps his forehead. "You really shoobed it this time."

"Me? " Randy gaped offended. "You're the one who lost the Nomicon in the first place."

"Which I'm still mad at." Kunoichi said glaring at Howard.

Howard ignored the glare and said. "Yes, but everything that happened after that is your fault."

Another, but shorter, tremor shacked the ground for a moment allowing Kunoichi to catch on. "Uh guys..."

"You got an entire rap crew swallowed by a giant worm." Howard continued ignoring Kunoichi and the slight lump of earth forming behind him.

"Guys..."

Thankfully Randy did notice. "Howard, stop yelling at me. The worm, remember?"

Right on que, the worm burst out of the ground behind the shorter teen making him turn around in panic as the monster growled at him.

"No, no, no, no, we're not fighting." Howard tried to explain. "This is just a thing we do. We're pals."

The worm obviously didn't care as it dived down towards Howard with its mouth open.

Quick to react, Kunoichi was able to pull Howard away in time.

"It won't attack me," Randy said keeping his eyes on the descending worm. "So just stay close and you'll be fine." Turning to look at Howard, he sees his friend doing the exact opposite of what he said with the worm right on his tail.

Randy screamed when he saw the worm get ahold of Howard and quickly pulled out his mask. "Oh! Nobody eats my crew." Jumping into a smaller hole, he suited up and jumped towards the monster with his partner right behind him just as the worm started retreating back into the earth.

Wrapping an arm around Kunoichi's waste, Ninja used his scarf to grab ahold of the monster. "Ninja worm snag."

The monster worm dragged the two deep into the earth before stopping making the two heroes land on the ground harshly.

Spitting Howard out, the worm disappears into one of the caves it created.

"Well, that was great." Howard said sarcastically as he stood up and dusted himself off. "Good thing I'm not allergic to dust. Oh, wait, I am allergic to dust." He sneezes. "This should be a fun afternoon."

"Really?" Ninja expressed annoyed as he and Kunoichi came over to Howard. "Are you trying to get attacked by a worm?"

"Oh, right." Howard the sneezed on Ninja making the two heroes flinch back in disgust. "Sorry. Sorry. Sorry."

A sudden wail made the three jump.

Taking out a glow ball, Kunoichi carefully rolled it in the direction of the sound to reveal a cowering Tiny Timmy.

Seeing he had non-threating company, he started babbling pitifully. "Big worm-just swallowed me up. Big worm-What-what!"

The three friends shared an awkward glance between them.

Rhymez and the rest of his crew popped out from behind Tiny Timmy. Rhymez separated from the group to grab Ninja's shoulders and shakes him. "Get us outta here now!"

With another rumble of the earth, and Rhymez's screaming, the worm came back and quickly dived towards Rhymez, eating him again.

"Time to put this worm on a hook." Ninja said as both he and his partner pulled out a chain sickle just as the monster came back.

Rushing forward, the two jumped into the air just as the worm made a lunge for them and quickly used their chain sickles to hook the worm from the back of its neck and cut the monster straight down the middle.

This allowed Rhymez to tumble out and quickly scurry back to his friends.

Before the two heroes could do their celibatory high five, the worm put itself back together, turned to them, and roared.

"What the juice?!" Ninja and Kunoichi gasped.

"Didn't work, guys!" Howard called out from his position.

The worm turned it's head towards the smaller teen and snapped its jaws.

Howard quickly backtracked. "I mean, big thumbs up from this side of the cave."

The Nomicon's lesson from before rang in the heroes ears.

-Words can be more powerful than the sword.-

Ninja's eyes widen with an idea. "Earth attack! If using worm in my rap made you, then To stop your foes and hold them back, harness the soil for an Earth attack. Time's getting tight, so gimme a hand." Ninja scoops up some sand. "To win this fight, I need warriors of sand!"

Ninja throws the sand and everyone watched in amazement as the clumps of sand turn into ninjas. "Those are sand ninjas. I call 'em Sandjas. Just made that up." Ninja took out his sword with the sandjas doing the same. "Kuno you try."

"Uh okay..." Kunoichi closed her eyes for a moment thinking. "To stop your foes and hold them back, harness the soil for an Earth attack. Hard to attack without a block, I am in need of guardians of rock!"

Stomping her foot, two samurais made of solid rocks popped out of the ground standing at the ready, weapons drawn.

Flicking out her tessens, Kunoichi, Ninja, and their earth warriors simultaneously attacked the worm. Slashing it repeatedly into pieces.

But their attacks were for nothing as the two heroes watched in frustration as the worm put it's self back together.

Ninja throws his hands up in irritation. "It keeps putting himself back together!"

Kunoichi watched sandjas and rock samurais continue to attack the worm and noticed how small bits of sand were breaking off the worm. "What if the pieces were too small to put back together? But how would we...?"

"I think I got it. Just follow my lead." Ninja reassured before looking at their makeshift earth team. "OK, Sandjas and Rock Samurai, not sure what this is gonna do, but Earth warrior cyclone attack!"

Catching on quickly, Kunoichi copied her partners movements as the sandjas and rock samurai turned into glowing dust that quickly wrapped around the worm and quickly destroyed it.

Everyone coughed and sneezed as the dust settled to show nothing but a pile that was once the monster worm.

"Looks like the early Ninja got the worm, huh?"

Kunoichi groaned and facepalmed at her partner's terrible joke.

Howard, who came to stand next to them, shrugged. "That didn't really work."

Kunoichi and Ninja now turned their attention to earth creations. "Thank you, noble Sandjas. You can go now. You're done Earth attacking."

"Thank you rock samurais." Kunoichi bowed a bit in thanks.

The sandjas hive fived before disappearing while the rock samurais bowed back before doing the same.

Howard quirked an eyebrow when he saw this. "Hey, one question. If the Sandjas and Rock samurai listen to you, why didn't you just tell the worm to stop?"

That made the two heroes pause.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"... Smoke bomb!"


~Riley's P.O.V~

I was sitting next to Howard in front of the amphitheater after everything settled back to normal.

"I got my book back." Randy said as he walked up to us showing his 'math book'. "All Rhymez wanted was a non-rhyming apology. And I have to dry clean his hoodie. You know, I learned a valuable lesson today. Ninja spells are not to be used in freestyle rap battles."

"It amazes me that you had to learn that lesson." Howard commented.

"Agreed." I said nodding my head. "That hopefully wont happen again."

I made sure to send Randy a pointed stare that he chuckled nervously at. "Never again."

"Yo, C, we gonna do this or what?" Looking up surprised, I see Rhymez looking down at us from the stage.

"Did you get us in the posse?" Howard asked Randy looking excited.

Randy just laughed slyly. "Better."

"Give it up for Rhymez and the Yo-Men, featuring 30 Seconds to Math." Rhymez said to the audience.

An excited smile grew on my face as the boys jumped to their feet.

"You know how I got eaten by a giant worm? You're forgiven. What-what!"

Randy and Howard quickly ran up to the stage grabbing their respective instruments and started playing.

Still smiling, I nodded my head to the beat as Randy and Rhymez preformed.

Rhymez- "Back in black-"

Randy- "On the attack-"

Rhymez- "On fire so hot,-"

Both- "it'll singe a ninja!"

'Randy might not be the smartest guy out there but he can definitely keep a girl on their toes.'
