Chapter 4

When Howard arrived at Mrs. Cunningham's house he could see that some of the lights were still on so she must be in, Howard ran to the front door a yanked it open, he ignored Mrs. Cunningham's angry screaming a bolted towards the basement.

As he stomped down the old stairs he could hear Mrs. Cunningham's footsteps heading toward the door.

Without another thought he dashed into the maze looking for that faint glow which was the Ninja's room...


After running for about 20 minutes Howard finally saw the Ninja's room, he ran inside to find the Ninja sleeping on his bed without his mask on. Howard could now see that he had dark purple hair, and fair skin. His forehead had a damp cloth on it and his chest and stomach were covered bandages.

"Ninja?" Howard mumbled but received no reply.

Howard just sat there by his side waiting for him to wake up...


When Ninja woke up the first thing he noticed was that nearly every part of his body burned in pain. The last thing he remembered was that he had smokebombed into his home and called Lucy for help before everything went black.

Now he was covered in bandages, but that's not all he could someone breathing next to him!

He panicked and shot up out of bed only to feel an avalanche of pain hit him everywhere, before he could do anything a pair of hands grabbed him and carefully lead him back to the bed."Careful dude." A voice said next him.

"H-Howard?" Ninja groaned.

"Yep buddy." Howard smiled, but that smile quickly vanished and replaced with a worried frown. "How you feeling?" He asked as he changed the damp cloth. "Sore." Was all Ninja said."Lucy says you should be back to fighting monsters in at least a week, and I know the perfect thing to do till then." Howard smirked.

"What?" Ninja asked.

"You can come to school, I've already talked about it with Lucy and see thinks it'd be great!" Howard exclaimed, but Ninja wasn't so sure. "But I can't read or write English."He frowned."No problem, at school they have speciel English classes for foren students and Lucy and I could teach you when you get home." Howard suggested.

"O-OK." Ninja said a little uneasy.

"But we still need to give you a name, I mean, they can't call you Ninja." Howard said and began to think of a name."How about 'Randy'?"Ninja thought with a smile."Randy Cunningham?"Howard thought about it for a moment.

"I love it!" He shouted.

"And I could buy you some normal clothes to wear." Lucy smiled from the door nearly giving Howard a heart attack ."Sure..." 'Randy' yawned before drifting back to sleep...


"Time for you to go home Howard."

Lucy said as she started to change Randy's bandages. "Sure thing." Howard grabbed his bag and headed home...
