Shenanigans Have Ensued
The Secret Quartet getting sucked into the Nomicon and shenanigans ensue.
Jake poked Randy's unresponsive head. "Do ya think he's ok?"
Danny and Adrien hovered over him.
"Maybe?" Adrien shrugged.
"He usually doesn't take this long…." Danny said. "should we go in after him?"
Jake poked him again. "I don't even know how the whole 'Nomicon' thing works, dawg."
Adrien gestured to the book, "He just looks at it. How hard can it be?"
Plagg didn't say anything as the three of them pulled the book out from under Randy's head. But he did cackle when all three of them collapsed on the ground.
One moment they were looking at the Nomicon, and the next the three boys were falling into a doodled pond.
Danny shook his head and stood up, water dripping off him. "That was…."
Adrien's head popped up out of the water, before he stood up too, "What is wrong with the physics here?!"
Jake wrung water from his jacket, "Bro. That is what you're wondering?"
The three of them walked to the shore, looking around in awe.
Adrien started to look giddy as they walked into a town like area. He ran up to a random stall where a doodled person was sitting. "Hi! We're Randy's friends from the outside!"
Jake rolled his eyes and caught up to him saying, "I don't think they can talk dude."
The doodled person had the most unimpressed look on its face.
Danny took a step back. "No but I think they can understand what we're saying."
"Sweet!" Adrien said, "So do you know where Randy is?"
The person pointed off to the side, where a path led into a forest.
The trio offered their thanks and started walking through the forest. After a minute they could hear Randy complaining loudly about something.
"This is SO not fair! Ow! Nomicon that's cheat-AH!"
Randy glared at the doodled samurai in front of him and rubbed his arm.
The samurai gestured again with its sword.
Randy gave a dramatic sigh and got back into his stance.
The samurai raised its sword and swung at him, Randy dancing out of the way. He dodged another attack and ducked under the sword. Before he could perform the disarming trick Nomicon had been trying to teach him a familiar voice yelled out, "HEY SAILOR MOON!"
Randy jerked his head around and saw his friends waving at him and the samurai kicked his legs out from under him. He fell to the ground, landing on his elbow. The sword touched his chest.
"Oh come on!" Randy whined. "I got distracted!"
The sword tip lifted from his chest and words appeared above the samurai's head.
'A Ninja in battle must not be distracted, but aware of his surroundings.'
"That makes no sense!" Randy exclaimed. "I'm supposed to focus on the fight but know everything around me? Is everything you say a riddle?"
Randy was pretty sure the samurai glared at him, despite it wearing a mask. It smacked his head with the flat of its sword.
"OW!" Randy rubbed his head. "Seriously?"
The samurai turned and walked into the trees, disappearing from sight. Randy stuck his tongue out at its back and stood up.
The three guys were wearing sheepish expressions on their face.
"Sorry." Adrien apologized.
Randy waved his hand dismissively, "Eh, Nomicon's always like that. Though it seems extra grumpy today."
The ground rumbled beneath them. Randy glared at it while the other three panicked. "Well you are!"
Jake, Adrien, and Danny were clutching each other's arms and looked around worriedly.
"The book did that?!" Danny squeaked.
"Bro you mean to tell me that it's actually conscious?" Jake asked.
Randy gave them a 'duh' look. "I complain about Nomicon all the time."
Adrien let go of Jake's arm and looked around. "Uh, I kinda thought Nomicon just lived in the book?"
Jake and Danny nodded in agreement. Danny laughed, "Wow. You got schooled by a book."
Randy shot him a look, "A book that has had eight hundred years of experience and the knowledge of hundreds of ninjas absorbed into it. You wanna have a go?"
Danny mumbled under his breath while Adrien and Jake laughed.
"Soooo…." Jake grinned, "Wanna give us a tour?"
