A bright green light blasted through the heavens, illuminating the dark skies of the night. The clouds began to circle around the pillar of green light. Lightning crackled through the skies, getting the attention of all the inhabitants of the city. People screamed in terror as the lights started to go out and only the green spectral light as a source of light. Cars stopped working and crashed, the lamp posts shattered, and all pieces of the modern world became useless trinkets that were no longer of any use. Fog flooded the streets as the chaos of Revolta's newfound might spread like a fire through a dry grassland.
At the bottom of the light column, Revolta laughed as she reached up and grabbed the Sorcerer's Orbs of power. She wrapped the orbs around her waist, feeling the powers of the former Sorcerer coursing through her body. Any and all fatigue that plagued her body vanished, making her feel like she could take down an army single handed. She stretched her fingers, cracking her joints and letting the powers of chaos course around her.
"I can feel the powers of the darkness and chaos!" Revolta called out. "800 years worth of power swelling and festering in that rotten hole in the ground! And now it is mine to do as I desire!"
Revolta slammed all four of her hands together, channeling her new found power. A green flame between her hands was stretched, turning into something fit for the new queen of all monsters. The flames transformed into a large scepter made out of ancient wood and a large green orb at the very top.
"I dare any knight or monster hunter to come here now!" Revolta cackled, admiring her work and how she would use her brand new toy on her enemies. "I want to put my powers to the test. Let us start by turning this human city into a city meant for monsters, after all every kingdom needs a capital!" She laughed, lifting her new septer into the air like a queen in her coronation.
Randy, Gothetta and Phanty watched in awe and fear as the light pierced the sky.
"Wow, never thought I'd see something like that tonight." Phanty said.
"Revolta must've gotten the Sorcerer's Orbs. I need to stop her!" Randy said, only for Gothetta to cut him off.
"You can't just rush in there, Randy. You'll be killed. We need to regroup with the others and make a plan." Gothetta said, grabbing Randy's hand.
"We may not have enough time to wait for them. I'll go scout what's going on." Randy said, looking at Gothetta with worry. "Call Howard and tell him what's been happening. I'll keep you guys informed the best I can. Just be careful."
"I should be telling you that." Gothetta replied.
Gothetta pulled up Randy's mask enough to show his mouth. She pulled him into a deep kiss before they separated for their respective tasks.
Randy pulled down his mask before swinging his scarf towards the school.
"Come on, we've got to tell the others." Gothetta said, pulling out her phone.
"I mean, they couldn't have missed that, but yeah we've got to tell them what has happened anyway." Phanty shrugged off.
Randy made his way across the buildings, swinging towards the school. He saw the destruction and chaos happening around him as he went to the source. As he swung, he threw some Ninja balls to cover and help where he could. He used the Ninja Ice Balls to create an icy roof over people's heads, covering them from the falling glass. He used the Ninja Plant Balls to break the cars out, helping the people that were caught by their crashed cars. He wanted to stop and help more people, but if he didn't stop Revolta there would be even more hurt people. The Ninja of Norrisville turned his sights back to the school. He swung faster and faster, using the flagpoles and broken lights to increase his speed. He could feel the power sending wave after wave of malice his way. Randy couldn't deny it, this would be one of the most dangerous opponents he'd ever face.
Randy landed outside his high school, though he almost didn't recognise it. The high school had been transformed. Now the building that had seen countless monster and giant robot attacks had been turned into an ancient castle that looked more at home in the bowles of some dark forest in Europe. The walls were now made out of large heavy black stones, the windows now had green stained glass windows, the pipes now stood out of the walls like dead hands reaching out to grab any brave fool that tried to climb the walls, and the wings of the school had been made into large crooked towers. If Randy didn't know better he would've thought that he was stepping into Dracula's castle.
"Revolta really got to remodeling this place rather quickly." Randy murmured, pulling out his sword from within his suit. "I better stop her before she does this to the rest of the city."
Randy concealed himself as best as he could as he entered the transformed high school. He stuck to the shadows, avoiding the light coming from the column of green light. His eyes snapped left and right and then left again in search of enemies, but he only found empty hallways. Randy let out a sigh of somewhat relief, knowing that he was-
"Hey kid!"
Randy spun around, holding up his sword to face whoever had spotted him. But he was faced with an empty hallway.
"Am I hearing voices?" Randy thought, scratching his head. "Maybe I've gotten hit in the head a few too many times. I could use a good rest afterwards."
"Yeah, you can have that afterwards, but now you need to get your head in the game!"
Randy spun around once more, but found himself alone again.
"What the juice?" Randy said out loud.
"Stop spinning around and wasting time! You need to get a move on before the witch or her stooge finds you and kills you."
"Who are you? How did you get in my head?" Randy asked.
"Funny. You're the one wearing my feathers."
"Are you the Tengu?" Randy asked, in anger.
"Let's keep it informal, kid, Tengu will do. Now, follow my instructions and you'll be able to take care of the witch before she turns this place into her own damn castle." Tengu instructed.
"Why should I trust you?" Randy asked.
"Because you don't want the witch to kill everyone you know and to turn your city into monster central, and I don't want to spend the rest of eternity as a decoration on her wall." Tengu explained. "Now, go down this hallway and make a right at the second right passage. She hasn't made any guards but she has that vampire monster by her side."
Randy let out a breath. He didn't want to listen to the ancient demon bird, but right now the devil he knew was better than the one he didn't. He followed Tengu's instructions, keeping an eye open in case the demon bird tried anything funny. He kept going deeper and deeper, not recognizing the halls that were once where he walked past. The words of and guidance of the Tengu were his only companions, like the ones of a devilish GPS.
He kept his non-dominant hand on his phone, sending short messages to Gothetta and the rest of his friends.
"That's it, that's it. You're making some good hussle while making sure that I'm not leading you into a trap." Tengu remarked.
"Can you blame me? You don't exactly have the best track record." Randy pointed out, spotting the bright green light not far from where he stood. "But I guess you can shoot straight when you've got something to get out of things."
Randy dropped down to the floor, hoping to avoid any form of being caught or spotted. He moved to the shadows and made it to the edge, where he could see what was going on. He saw that Revolta was standing in front of the large column of green light, spinning her newly made septer like a twirling stick. She was chanting spells, making curses and calling upon all forms of chaos and magic that would grant her dominion over all the world. On the side of that empty and green colored room lay Dracula, playing around with the Tengu Eye like it was a chew toy.
"I see you're enjoying your new playmate's teeth?" Randy asked.
"I'm pretty sure that he hasn't brushed those teeth since he was resurrected. There's pieces of skin and tiny bones in his mouth. It is disgusting." Tengu pointed out. "Please kill him first before his slobber gets on me forever!"
"What is she doing?" Randy asked.
"The hell should I know?!" Tengu snapped. "My ancient Celtic is a bit rustic but all I can say is that it doesn't sound good for either of us."
Randy turned his sights to Revolta. He too couldn't understand what Revolta was saying, although if the new looks of the school and the resurrected Dracula were anything to go by, it probably wasn't something good. He had to put an end to her now before things got worse. He started channeling the power of the Ninja Tengu Fireball. He had to make this as quick and as silent as possible. If he got caught by either Revolta or Dracula he would be in trouble. His suit turned red like so many times before, but the glow was almost completely overshadowed by the green glowing pillar of light.
"Ninja Tengu Fire Ball!" Randy called out in his mind, trying to keep his presence hidden.
He fired the fire blast at Revolta, hoping to land a devastating wound. He was slightly angry with himself for attacking a woman from behind, but this was not the time to be chivalrous. He was well aware that she would not think twice to do the same thing to him if given the chance. Randy needed to stop the dangerous witch and protect the city as she would not spare the city nor any of his loved ones.
It was time to crucify her!
The fire ball traveled through the air towards Revolta. The strike was bound to hit its mark, reducing the witch to cinders. But the heat in such a cold place did not go unnoticed.
Dracula sensed the heat coming from the fireball. Dropping the stone prison that kept the Tengu, he shot out to tackle Revolta out of the way of the fireball. The fireball did some damage to the spell, dispersing it.
"What are you doing you infernal fool!" Revolta snapped, pushing Dracula off of her. "I was in the middle of my spell!"
Dracula growled before turning his sights on to where Randy stood. The resurrected vampire let out a blood shilling roar before he took to the air after Randy.
"Oh crap." Randy muttered, jumping out of the way of Dracula's attack.
Dracula landed before Randy, creating a large crater with cracks on it. He looked up and roared at Randy, recognizing him as the one that slayed him.
"Wow, and here I thought the other two got a nasty makeover. But you really got the short end of the stick in terms of monstrousness." Randy jabbed, getting into a combat stance. "Don't worry, a little off the top and you'd make a very convincing man-sized weasel."
Dracula did not like that comparison. Even in his feral and monstrous form, he could still find the pride he always had as the king of vampires. He crouched down, spreading his wings in a form of intimidation before jumping towards his new prey.
Randy jumped over Dracula, spinning her sword at the back of the vampire, leaving a nasty gash. Dracula roared in pain before spinning back and smacking Randy away with one of his massive wings. Randy landed on his feet, getting back air into his lungs. He glared at Dracula as the vampire king charged at him once more. The Ninja of Norrisville held his sword forwards before charging at the large beast. Just as they were about to clash, Dracula sprung to the air, pulling up Randy by his shoulders.
Dracula flew up into the air, digging his sharp nails into Randy's shoulders, causing him pain.
"Is this because I called you a weasel?" Randy asked, cringing at the pain. "In my defense you look less like a bat than any other furry creature with fangs!" He replied, grabbing one of the legs and slicing it off with his sword.
Dracula roared in pain, releasing Randy.
Randy adjusted himself to land on his feet, only to be blasted to the wall.
"Red Scarf. I should've known that you would scurry into my new castle to try and spoil my plans, like a rat in search of food." Revolta said, aiming her staff at Randy. "But I won't let you get even close to stopping my plans."
Randy dropped off the wall. His chest burning from the direct hit of the dark magic. He held his chest as he used his sword to push himself up. He was not having the best time of his life.
Dracula landed side by side of Revolta, holding onto his severed foot. He looked at Randy with rage, a rage that could only be described as primal and vengeful. He bared his fangs at Randy as it crawled towards him with his wings as an extra pair of arms for support.
"What can I say, I have a tendency to make a mess out of whatever evil sorcerers and witches tend to cook up." Randy said, regaining his combat stance.
"Smooth kid. Real smooth." Tengu said.
Revolta was done with tricks and words from the human.
"Bleed him dry and suck the marrow from his bones!" Revolta ordered the monstrous Dracula.
Dracula took to the air once more, baring his fangs at Randy. He dived at the Ninja from the air, forcing Randy to run out of the way. But Dracula was not alone in his attack, Revolta aimed her staff and fired at the Ninja.
Randy ducked under the swooping claws of Dracula, only to be nearly shot by Revolta. He kept running, trying to stay away from the flying blasts of magic and the flying fury of the resurrected bat. Randy swung his blade, clashing it with Dracula's fangs, keeping him at bay. But that left him open to the magic blasts of Revolta. Randy was struck on the shoulder making him stumble down on the ground.
Dracula swooped at Randy like a bird searching for food from above. Or better put like a wild bat swooping down to catch its prey before they could escape.
The Ninja of Norrisville held his wounded arm, while ducking under the swoops of Dracula. Adrenaline kicked in for Randy, helping him to keep running while avoiding the incoming was not going to last long and he didn't even have time to set up any counter attacks. He needed a distraction so that he could deal with one of them before attacking the other.
"You may have endurance, Red Scarf. But you are only human and eventually you will be mine to destroy!" Revolta called out, cackling as she fired blasts of magic. "Oh, I have missed how much fun this is! I should go out more often! Maybe I will hunt down humans once I rule this city."
Randy wanted to snap at the old witch, but he didn't have the time to do so. He needed to come up with a plan or he'd become the last Ninja of Norrisville.
"Hey, Wicked Witch of the West! Eat this!"
Revolta looked up just to see a crossbow bolt flying straight at her. She recoiled in pain as the bolt struck her in the eye. She screamed in pain as Randy looked up to see Howard aiming his crossbow with Heidi, Elsa, Phanty and Gothetta along with a girl he didn't know.
"Guys, you made it!" Randy called out, feeling great relief that his friends were there to help him.
"Randy, are you alright?!" Gothetta asked.
"I've been better, but I'm way better now that you guys are here!" Randy called back.
Just then Dracula flew at them with rage in his eyes.
But Randy didn't give the monstrous vampire king the change. He wrapped his scarf around Dracula's waist. He pulled him back, keeping it from reaching his friends.
"Not gonna happen Dracula!" Randy called out, grunting.
"This is Dracula?" Phanty asked. "Sheesh, Sibella must've gotten all the looks in the family."
"You have no idea." Gothetta added while Heidi and Winnie growled at Dracula and the wounded Revolta.
Elsa didn't wait for another remark. She punched Dracula across the face, sending him back.
"Sorry, I don't like the idea of a giant monster eating my friends." Elsa said as she and the rest of the group went down to help Randy.
Gothetta helped Randy to his feet as he finally got a chance to catch his breath.
"Got to say, she does pack a punch. What I wouldn't give to have someone like that back in Whitechapel." Winnie pointed out before her eyes landed on Revolta as she finally pulled out the bolt from her eye. "It's that bloody witch. She and I have unfinished business."
Heidi recognized the look in Winnie's eyes. She stopped the young wolf girl from jumping at the witch.
"What are ya doing?! That witch did this to me! I want to make her face look as bad on both sides!" Winnie snapped at the other female werewolf with red hair.
Howard heard the commotion, listening to the two young wolf girls growling at each other. He didn't know if he should get in between those two, but the last thing they needed was a fight between their own ranks.
"Hey, knock it off the two of you." Howard said, shoving the wolf girls apart from each other. "Let's deal with Dracula and-" He began, being the odd voice of reason only to be cut off by a vicious blood curdling scream.
The group turned to see Revolta glaring at them with a bloody bolt in her hand. She was furious and desired nothing but revenge against those that struck her. Blood was coming down from her face as her wound pumped out greenish blood from where her eye once was. She gritted her teeth as the desire of murder clouded her mind and her magic crackled from her staff and the Sorcerer's Orbs.
"I will make you all pay for this! No one makes a fool of the powerful Revolta and gets to go away alive!" Revolta screamed, firing a blast of dark magic at the group. "No mere human can stand against me without getting burnt by my rage and power!"
Randy quickly got in front of the group as the green blast of magic came at them.
"Ninja Earth Attack!" Randy called out, stomping his left foot forward, holding his arms up.
Randy's attack lifted the ground before him, creating a large wall. He put everything he had on this defense, hoping that it would hold up against the full strength of the magic. His wall was met with the blast of magic. Holding his ground he was able to keep the attack at bay for a little bit. If he played his cards right, Randy would be able to throw a counter attack against the witch.
However, Revolta would not be made to look like a fool once more, she increased the flow of her magic with a maddening roar.
The wall of earth was reduced to rubble.
The magic explosion sent the group and the Tengu Stone against the wall. They all let out diverse grunts of pain and discomfort as they slid off the wall.
Randy took the strongest of the attack by being the one at the front. He looked up as Revolta prepared for another attack. He had to do something. His wounds were making it for him to fight properly. He had to protect his friends, and the city. His hand graced the Eye of Tengu, giving him a glimmer of hope. The words of the demon bird flooded his mind.
"I will make sure this place will be your eternal grave Red Scarf, and then I shall parade your corpse throughout this land. That will let the whole world know that the age of man is over and the Age of Monsters shall commence!" Revolta's claims were enough to make sure the blood of anyone present ran cold.
Randy looked at the stone once more. It was a hard pill to swallow, but he had no other choice.
"Gothetta, get everyone out of here!" Randy called back to his girlfriend.
"Why? We just got here!" Howard snapped before his eyes landed on the Eye of Tengu. "Oh shoob me sideways."
"Randy, what are you doing?!" Gothetta asked as Randy stabbed the Eye of Tengu.
As Randy's sword plunged into the yellow colored stone, the Tengu felt the gates of his prison snapping open. He could sense it. He was free once more and he was going to spread his wings this time. The massive demonic bird came out, spreading its large black wings as the heat of his very power clashed with the green light of Revolta's magic. Tengu let out a victorious roar for his freedom, allowing his body to stretch out after centuries of confinement.
Revolta was pushed back by the ancient bird's roar.
"I really don't like this part." Howard said, expecting the bird demon to possess him once more.
However, Tengu's eyes landed on Randy. He flew up into the air before falling down on Randy. The pure power of the demon bird went into the young Ninja, causing him to scream in surprise.
"Randy!" Gothetta cried out in horror.
Randy's wounds healed up, leaving a trail of smoke as his body was encased in a bright red aura. His eyes turned black with red irises as fire came from them. His muscles expanded and strengthened as though they had been reforged by the fires that now consumed him. His mind was filled with rage as he glared at Revolta. His suit went berserk with cloth unwrapping and pulling itself together to create a new suit or trying to keep Randy's body from changing even further. Randy was now not an ordinary human. This was a creature that made the forces of chaos tremble and monsters cower in fear.
"We are in so much trouble now." Howard quietly muttered, gulping for any chance that this was a bad dream after eating too many gross snacks.
Randy let out a roar that made the entire building shake.
