Welcome back, everyone. Enjoy and review.
The Mastermind
"You aren't Hannibal McFist…" uttered the Ninja. "But the person you should be shouldn't be around anymore either!"
The false McFist beamed and clasped his hands together. "Ninja, you are quite correct."
Randy could not believe what had happened next. Since when did this sort of thing happen? Hannibal McFist had transformed into the Sorcerer, who had rejoined with his good half and passed on. What was going on here? This did not make any sense.
This wasn't possible. There had to be some sort of… Of course, it wasn't real at all. All Randy had to do was wake up!
Leaping off the roof of the building, the Ninja closed his eyes and hoped that he was correct about this. If he wasn't, then there was going to be a mess on the ground in the Ninja costume.
When Randy had awakened, it took him a moment to realize where he was. He was in some sort of lab, strapped to a table and standing over him a lean, middle-aged black man with glasses: Willem Viceroy III. Following McFist's arrest, Viceroy had gone into hiding to avoid the law. Given his boss's arrest and, following a later adventure, death, it stood to reason that Viceroy would come seeking revenge. Viceroy may have worked for the paycheck, but Randy had pretty much cost him his paycheck.
"Well, well, Ninja, have a nice sleep?" Viceroy gave a chuckle. "Or perhaps, I should call you by your real name? The toying with your unconscious mind was fun, but the time for fun and games is over…" Snatching the mask from the Ninja's head, he finished the sentence with: "Randy Cunningham!"
"Viceroy!" Randy exclaimed, his eyes narrowed before asking: "Really, you decided to hide out here in Foreland Agitation? It's a bit cliché, isn't it? The first place any Norrisville criminal or supervillain went to go into hiding is Foreland Agitation."
"You know what else is cliché? Tying a victim to train tracks where they will be run over. Is that how you want to go? Because I am perfectly fine with switching my plan of giving you the living death of lobotomization to just plain killing you!"
"Uh, so… What then?"
"What then?" Viceroy gave a chuckle, before answering: "I will marry my girlfriend Ruth, find some other megalomaniac to work for, maybe somewhere else, I'm feeling either Australia, Borneo or New Zealand and you…" The scientist grin most sinisterly. "You will be spending your lobotomized existence as my guinea pig."
Well, that was certainly a good time to make a mental note to never come between a mad scientist and his paycheck. Now Randy could only wonder one simple thing.
How was he going to get out of this?
