As Grandpa, Rocky, Colt and Tum ran forward they could hear leaves rustling. "Hurry boys. There are more coming," Grandpa warned them urgently. They looked ahead and saw Grandpa's car. They were glad it was a convertible as they hopped in. Grandpa pulled out his keys and started up the car then started driving off.

"Hey I have an idea!" exclaimed Colt as he looked for something inside the mess in the front seat, "I can call Dad and tell him what's going on! You guys DO remember what happened last time we had a chance to call Dad," Colt said staring directly at Rocky. "Yeah Rocky!" Tum said with a teasing smile.

"Just call Dad!" Rocky said with a voice that hinted anger. "Okay, okay," Colt, said defensively, "Hello? Yeah Dad we're fine except for the fact that we're about to be killed by an army of ninjas. Ok I'll talk to you later. Bye."

Then as they where speeding off Rocky thought he saw someone on the road in front of them but the person faded away.

Rocky saw the person again but this time the person didn't fade. As they got closer they saw the person was a 10ft man with a mace the size of a miniature tree. "Halt!" He declared in a thunderous voice.

Grandpa gritted his teeth and sped forward trying to avoid him but the man swung his mace breaking off the front of the car. "Aww, dang!" Grandpa exclaimed as the car sputtered slowly to a halt.

"C'mon boys," Grandpa said glumly as the reluctantly came out of the car. "You will now wait here until the others come," the man said. "What's gonna happen to us?" Tum asked. The man gave a wicked grin as he looked at them. "I can't wait to find out," he then snickered.

Grandpa stood up. "No one will hurt these boys!" Grandpa said sternly. "Little man, you are old and frail what can you do to stop fate?" the giant man asked as he looked down on the old man.

He then looked at the boys and stopped at Colt who was glaring at him. "You'll do," he said picking up Colt with two fingers. He gave a sinister grin and threw Colt to the ground. The boy grunted as he struggled to get back to his feet.

"Colt!" Rocky and Tum exclaimed as they rushed to help him up. Grandpa had seen enough and looked about ready to explode. "Boys run!" he yelled as he ran at the big man. The man smiled at them. "You won't get very far because this will be all over in a few seconds."

He swung his mace at the old man trying to crush him but Grandpa was faster than he had expected. The old man had disappeared when he swung. He lifted up his mace. "Old man where are you. Come out and fight like a man." He spun his mace around and to his surprise the old man appeared on the mace. "What!" He exclaimed in surprise.

Grandpa ran on his mace and slashed wildly at the giants face. The giant growled in pain and anger. He groped blindly and finally grabbed the old man. "You will pay dearly for this!" He growled.

Grandpa stabbed into the man fingers in rage causing him to let go. The old man took advantage of the time and jumped off the man's hands twirling in the air. "I'm growing tired of this game of cat and mouse!" The giant yelled. He grabbed the old man and slammed him into the ground.

Grandpa struggled under the man's superior strength. "I have done my job to hold you off, the boys are long gone by now," Grandpa smiled grimly. "I hate you!" The man yelled then punched the old man square on the face (his fist being larger than Grandpa's face). As he was about to let the old man go the giant noticed he was still staring at him.

"You're a strange one, you're still alive! DIE!" The giant yelled spraying spittle on the old man's face. "Die, die, die!" The giant repeated as he punched the old man repeatedly. Finally he felt the man relax.

The three boys ran as fast as their tired feet would let them as they stumbled along trying to get as far away from the giant as they could. Colt being the fastest of the three was ahead of the other two. "Hey guys… I think I see something," Colt gasped as he came to a halt waiting for his brothers to catch up.

They looked ahead they saw some a huge dust cloud and it was rapidly getting closer. (It's a dust path and they're on the side of the path with all the trees). "Guys were not sure who it is so hide," Rocky said calmly. In a second they had disappeared into the foliage around them.

As the dust cloud got closer they could see there where cars inside. "Hey that's Dad!" Tum yelled jumping out of a tree. Colt materialized out of a bush and Rocky dropped on the path in front of the cars.

Their dad quickly stopped and ran up to his sons. "Are you guys okay?" Mr. Douglas asked. "Yeah dad, were fine but Grandpa's still back there!" Rocky answered. "Get in the car I'll take you guys home while the team investigates the place." They got into the car finally feeling safe as FBI agents went searching for the ninjas.

When they got home the three boys were worried about their Grandpa's safety. "Dad is Grandpa gonna be okay?" Tum asked. "Of course he will," Mr. Douglas replied sounding more confident than he felt. The phone rang and Mr. Douglas picked it up.

"Hello? You found him? Well is he okay? WHAT!" By this time the three ninjas had noticed their Dad voice rise rapidly. "He's… are you sure?" Mr. Douglas babbled. The boys crowded around their Dad with worried looks on their faces. "What does it say?" "Okay, thank you." Mr. Douglas said as he dropped the phone with a strange look on his face.

"Rocky go get your Mom," he paused "tell her its important." Rocky nodded without questioning his Dad because he had a feeling he would be hearing this news. When Rocky came back down stairs his Mom came behind. She walked into the living room smiling then noticed everyone looked serious.

"What's wrong?" She asked. "I just got a call from the investigation team at Grandpa's cabin. "Investigation team? Is that the reason why the boys came back so early?" Mrs. Douglas asked. Mr. Douglas quickly briefed her in on what happened. "Well where's Mori (grandpa)?" She question getting worried now.

"… Well that's the reason I called you down here. I don't know how to say this but Mori is…" By this time Mr. Douglas was fighting back tears. "…Mori's dead." Mr. Douglas said as he wept openly.

Mrs. Douglas' smile was immediately replaced by a look of shock then she fell to the ground and cried. The boys wept except Rocky whose face was as calm as still water. He stared into at the wall so intensely as he was in deep thought. 'I can't believe myself I could have helped him. I… I could have saved him. I've failed the test. He trusted me. I've failed him. I'm not worthy to know someone as brave as him. I will avenge him. I will avenge him! I WILL AVENGE HIM!'

The look of calmness on Rocky's face was suddenly switched with that of wild rage. The rest of the Douglas family wept for days.
