There will be three chapters based on Silent Punch, Deadly Punch.
Randy was kind of disappointed that Howard had a family event and couldn't hang out, but there was always tomorrow.
Howard seemed kind of tense and jumpy and it had worried him. Maybe he was just upset that they couldn't hang out. Randy figured that was the reason.
Maybe after I get the Smoke bombs, I could just hang out with The Sorcerer. Oh my Cheese! I almost forgot to visit The Sorcerer!
He quickly put on his mask and hurried to the basement.
"H-hey S-sorcerer." Randy panted.
"Ninja." He said with a nod.
"L-listen. I-I have something t-to do so I can't stay long, but Howard is busy with a family thing today. So, maybe after I get more smokebombs, we can hang out?"
"I suppose so...how did you run out of smokebombs exactly. From what I can tell, there are quite a lot of them. Hundreds, maybe thousands of them." The Sorcerer said.
"Well, the amount is kinda deceiving." Randy laughed a bit nervously.
The Sorcerer stared at him.
"...Okay, I wasted a lot of them!" Randy admitted. "But, they were fun to use."
"Why do you need them? The little Norrsiville Ninja isn't stealthy enough to get away without them?" The Sorcerer teased, slightly.
Randy frowned,annoyed. "Anyways, I have to get more. I'll come back later."
He then left the lair.
…...
It had been a rough night and honestly, Randy didn't think it would take so long. But, McFist just had to choose the SkunkPine tree for his party. The worst part of the night though was when he found out Howard's dad's company had been bought out by McFist. Luckily Howard had helped and was forgiven.
The two of them were heading to Randy's house to watch some movies, when Randy remembered something.
"Uh...Howard, g-go to my house and I'll be there in a bit. I-I have to go do something real quick." Randy said, gripping onto the mask in his pocket.
Howard looked a little hurt. He thought Randy would be thrilled, that they could have their movie marathon. "O-okay, Cunningham."
"Thanks, buddy." Randy said, and hurried towards the school.
As Howard started to Randy's house he thought of what he could possibly be doing. The idea of him visiting The Sorcerer didn't seem to cross his mind. Was he still mad that his dad's company was bought by McFist?
He held onto that thought for a while, up to the point where he started believing it.
Yeah...why else would he leave so fast!? Maybe he was going to ditch him and not come back to his house for the rest of the night in hopes he'd leave before he got back.
Stupid Cunningham! If he wants to play that way, I'll play that way! I'll wait in his room the whole night if I have to! Then I'll give that no good shoob a yelling!
He decided to think of things he hated about Randy to fuel his anger.
He's always NNSing on me, wanting to spend time with The Sorcerer than with me! He cheats at Grave Puncher, even though he says he doesn't, he does! I hate that shoob so much!
When Howard got to Randy's house he went inside.
"Oh, hello Howard." Randy's mother greeted. She'd gotten used to Howard not knocking before he went into their house. It had become just a normal,everyday thing. She hadn't noticed Howard and her son's declining friendship. She just assumed after school Randy hung out with Howard at his house.
"Hi." Howard grumbled as he climbed the stairs to Randy's room.
He slammed open the door and to his surprise, Randy was there.
"Hi, Howard." Randy greeted. He had gotten the movie set up, snacks out and everything needed to have a movie marathon.
Howard didn't say anything and sat next to him. Randy noticed he looked upset.
"What's wrong?"
"I didn't think you'd be here when I got here." Howard said.
"What?" Randy asked.
"I thought you were still mad about my dad or scared, or something! And that you were going to abandon me."
Randy looked hurt. "Howard..you're my best friend! I'd never abandon you. I just had to tell The Sorcerer something."
"Oh.." Howard felt guilty.
"Can we watch movies now?" Randy asked. "I've been looking forward to this."
"Sure, Cunningham."
