Here it is chapter 2, the explanation chapter, haha
again apologizing cuz it take me a bit to make theses, hope ya guys enjoy
Evil Randy stumbled around a dark cavern located beneath norrisville. These interconnecting tunnels beneath the town were once used as the Sorceress's base of operation, Evil Randy decided it would now be his base and refugee for the time needed to recharge all the power future Howard had taken from him.
'Dammit' He cursed internally. 'So close, I was so close, till that boy! Got in the way'
'They're probably plotting against you right now' a second voice in his head said. '14 years of suffering, planning, waiting, all wasted! Because of that stupid ninja! And Howard! We should just destroy them all!'
'No! , I can still finish my plan' He snapped back.
'No! No! No! I don't want to go back to that hole!' a third voice said, panicking. 'Or what if they finally decide to destroy us!? Then what?! I'm so scared!'
'Quiet both of you!' Evil Randy yelled at both voices silencing them. 'I can still finish my plan, I'm just going to have to rely on a little extra hands'. Realizing once again he was talking to himself, he shook his head and walked over to the hidden spring of water located there.
This was the very place the sorceress escaped and was imprisoned once again. He could sense it, this area being used so many times to open a gateway to the land of shadows has weakened the very fabric that kept both worlds apart. Even with his limited power he figure there was still a high probability he could open the gateway again. He closed his eyes and willed his remaining power into the pool, it crackled with energy and the portal opened filling the cavern with light.
'Be careful!' the third voice said again. 'You might pull out something dangerous! And you used up most of our power! We could die!'
"Shut up" Evil Randy said reaching into the portal to pull something out. Despite his harsh tone he did agree he had to be careful, if he couldn't afford to keep the portal open for long, in fear of alerting the sorceress a chance at escape once more. He caught something and pulled, he pulled out a skinny pale boy in a purple top hat.
"I'm free!" Julian said. "Thank yo—"
"Nope" Randy said dropping him back into the land of shadows, clearly disappointed with his catch. This time he felt something much heavier than Julian, he pulled harder this time. What he pulled out and threw was a huge hulking mass of red.
"An Oni?" Evil Randy said pleased. "Score"
The Oni stood, it was three times the size of a grown human, it had wild hair, and a single horn growing from its head, as for clothing it only wore a loincloth around its waste. In its hand the Oni held a giant iron club.
The Oni roared, not at Evil Randy but at the portal. 'That's right call your friends' Evil Randy thought. One more Oni climbed out looking identical to the first except having blue skin, as it exited the portal closed. Both Oni's stood together and stared menacingly at Evil Randy, Both with intense hunger in their eyes.
'These two upstarts want to eat us!? How dare they!' The second voice bellowed in Evil Randy's head. 'I say we rip off a limb or two to show them whose boss'
Evil Randy said nothing as the two Oni's started advancing, licking their lips. Evil Randy inhaled largely and let out a sickening bird of prey screech that shook the entire cavern. Both Oni's stumbled back and whimpered like frightened puppies. The looked at each other and bowed down to Evil Randy.
"Good" He said. "Now I suggest you do exactly as I say, before you become my lunch"
The Oni's whined in submission, and Randy smirked.
"Use this scent" Randy said plucking off one of his hairs and letting the Oni's get a whiff. "Find the person with this scent and bring him to me, alive, no harm is to be done to him"
The blue Oni reached out to Evil Randy.
"No not me you idiot!" Randy said slapping the Oni's hand. "A boy, a young boy, and if you encounter another ninja with a different smell…..kill him"
Both Oni's dashed out of the cavern and out of Evil Randy's sight. With them gone Randy finally crumpled and began breathing heavy, he had been officially spent, he used all the power he had, and it would take at least a day to replenish all his power. He chuckled to himself he no longer had to worry about the future ninja, An Oni was an extremely difficult thing to beat and something extremely good at doing the beating.
-[line break]-
"Oof" All three boys said as the landed within the pages of the nomicon.
"I'm convinced this stupid book gave us a rough landing on purpose" Howard said. "Why am I here anyway? Isn't this kind of stuff more your guys thing?"
"Guess it must be really serious if future nomicon wanted Howard too" Randy remarked.
Randy finally started looking around and was frightened by what he saw. The nomicons pages were faded and dull no longer vibrant, a good chunk looked charred and burned off. 'What happened here?' Randy thought.
"Wow it really let itself go over the years" Howard said looking around.
"Nomi hasn't been very strong since your time" Future ninja said.
"Why?" Randy asked.
"I will answer that" The nomicon said in first ninja's voice, again it must have been really serious if it wasn't using any doodle language. "It is the reason I brought you all here, ninjas and Howard"
"What the juice happened to me nomicon?" Randy inquired.
"To understand we must go back, or in your case forward" The nomicon said a Japanese door materializing and opening revealing something similar to a video playing within. "To Randy Cunninghams senior year, the year the fall happened"
The images began with an older looking Randy, inside the nomicon training against 5 armoured samurai's. All of them attacked at the same time, Randy dodged, blocked and dispatched them easily. A doodle ninja gave randy a thumbs up and a smile, proud of his work.
"Again" Randy said panting and exhausted. "Double them"
The doodle ninja pride in Randy was replaced with concern. And it began the training once again.
"During your 2nd year as the ninja, we had discovered that the sorcerer would finally escape within your senior year" Future Nomicon explained the flash back to Randy, Howard and future ninja. "You had become obsessed with becoming stronger, you barely slept or ate, you would skip school altogether on some days"
The flashback continued to the next scene of Randy putting his things in his locker. Howard walked by with a group of other teenagers, all laughing and enjoying everything Howard said.
"Hey bud" Howard said to Randy. "Me and the guys are gonna hit the game hole later, maybe you could actually join us this time"
"Can't" Randy said, still putting his stuff in his locker. "I have my thing I have to do"
Howard frowned. "Oh come on, you always say that, fine how about just you and me, like old times"
"I said I can't Howard" Randy said finishing and walking away. "Just keep hanging with your new bros"
"Wow that guy is such a shoob" One of Howard's posse said. "He needs to be taught how to lighten up"
"Hmm…" Howard said a grin creeping up to his face. "Yeah he does"
"What the juice was that?!" Current Howard exclaimed, extremely confused at his future self's relationship status with future Randy.
"Over the years, you and the ninja drifted apart" Future Nomicon said. "The ninja becoming obsessed with his training you two could not find the time to hang out, causing you Howard to find companionship in other people and thus raising you social standing"
"That's wonked up" Current Randy said, He could never ever see him and Howard letting their friendship go like that, but he knew what it was like to have fear push you away from everything.
The Flashback's next scene was of senior Randy sitting inside the nomicon with the spirit of first ninja. Randy looked distraught while first ninja sat there with the same stoic expression.
"First ninja, it's almost…it's almost time" Randy said to his teacher. "Do you think I'm strong enough?"
"The question is, do you think you're strong enough" First ninja answered.
Randy sat in silence staring angrily at the ground before he answered "no"
First ninja's expressionless face changed to one of sadness, he knew the toll this job was forcing on his student.
"I need more power first ninja" Randy said pleadingly. "I need more"
"I have already taught you every skill every ninja has ever known" First ninja replied.
"You haven't taught me the dragon punch"
"I cannot teach you that"
"Why not?" Randy asked in frustration, he needed all the power he could get.
"Because it is not a skill that can be taught, it is a skill that must be earned"
"Earned?! I've been training all this time! I'm pretty sure I've honking earned it!"
"You misunderstand ninja, I am not the one who decides if you have earned the right, the ancestors of norisu do"
Randy shloomped out of the nomicon in irritation. And first ninja sighed in regret.
The next day at school Randy was walking down the hallway when Howard was standing in his path.
"Howard?" Randy said irritated, still mad from his chat with the nomicon. "Not today"
"More like not any days" Howard replied with a smug grin. "So I decided to help knock that 'tude down just a smidge"
Suddenly a bucket load of paint fell on Randy, freaking him out and blinding him, then feather fell from the ceiling and attached themselves to Randy when they touched him.
"What the juice was that Howard?!" Current Randy asked, baffled at flashback Howard's prank.
"How would I know why that guy did what he did" Current Howard replied.
"Weinerman believed that playing a prank may lighten your attitude and that you would laugh it off" Future nomicon said. "Unfortunately you did not, your paranoia acted up and you believed you were being assaulted by an enemy"
The next scene was brutal, literally. Randy being blinded by the paint panicked and started attacking anyone near him, he broke 2 kids arms and shattered another's collarbone, everyone was backing away from him at this point, everyone but Howard who watched in horror as his former best friend viciously attacked anyone who got too close.
Randy rubbed the paint off his eyes and looked around him then at his own hands. He looked around again and saw Howard, his look of confusion morphing into one of anger.
"A prank? A PRANK!?" He yelled, lifting Howard by his shirt collar. "THIS WAS A PRANK!?"
"C-calm down, dude" One of the kids said, terrified. "It was a joke, f-for a couple of laughs"
"Do I look like I'm laughing!?" Randy snapped at the kid. He turned his eyes to Howard, the rage in them just itching to burst. He reared his back fist to punch Howard, and Howard shut his eyes preparing for the blow, but instead Randy just dropped him and walked out of school, his back turned to everyone. Even after his suspension for fighting was over he never came to school after that.
"With that, your friendship with Weinerman ended" Future nomicon noted.
"Wow" Howard said shamefully. "That was wonked up of me"
"I know" Randy remarked. "But it's my fault too, if I just tried to talk to you and keep our broship from falling apart this wouldn't have happened"
"If you guys are done 'making up', can nomi finish the story without you guys interrupting?" Future ninja said annoyed, finally saying something. He didn't like interrupting people or being impolite in general.
"The story is nearly at an end, Now the the fall happens" Future nomicon said. "The sorcerer had finally escaped, and to say the fight was one-sided would be an understatement, you were beaten and broken, you retreated and hid while the sorcerer spread chaos and destruction, you dragged your broken body to the school and found the eye of eternity, and you know the rest. Naturally the tengu attempted to possess you, butt by sheer willpower you overpowered the tengu and took all its power for your own"
"Wait, so I beat the tengu?" Randy said confused. "Isn't that a good thing?"
"Yes and no" Future nomicon replied. "While you were able to keep your mind, the battle for possession of it did its toll, having demons blood run rampant within a human vessel cannot do well for a human's mind, especially one that was already as paranoid and disturbed as you"
Randy, Howard and Future ninja all looked to each fearing what came next.
"The people of norrisville looked to the sky at you arrival, hoping that you would be their saviour and vanquish the sorcerer" Future nomicon continued. "They were both right and wrong"
The next scenes visibly disturbed the three boys to their core. The battle between Randy and the sorcerer was extremely violent, both intent on killing the other. What really made them sick was the fact Randy had so little regard for the innocent people around during the battle, the way his rage and blood thirst blinded him in his battle, he did not care for the building he toppled or the people unlucky enough to get caught in the crosshairs of his attacks. Randy had defeated the sorcerer, but there he stood in ruins of his city, flames lit the sky, he stood motionless and distant.
"What came next was the trial" Future nomicon said, its voice sounding hoarse. "Weinerman and I, held a trial to see if you were still you, you claimed you could control it, but we knew better, we had no choice, we decided to sentence you to the very prison that held the sorcerer, you took insult to that and attempted to attack us and corrupt the pages of the nomicon to escape"
Suddenly all the wreckage that was now the nomicons pages made more sense to the boys.
"And now you are free again, with a plan of some sorts" Future nomicon said. "I am sorry I do not have much power left in me to explain further, come back tomorrow if you require more information"
"Wait nomicon" Randy said. "What do I do about me?"
Doodle words formed in the air that read "The ninja must make the difficult choices, even if he does not agree with them"
Randy could not help but think perhaps the nomicon wanted him to end his future self's life. Meanwhile Future ninja was staring at Randy hard coming up with his own meaning of the nomicons advice.
The three boys shloomped out of the nomicon and looked to each other, hoping one of them would say something.
Randy was about to break the silence when a crash broke the library wall behind them where they were staying. They were giant figures of red and blue and before Randy or Future ninja could react one them knocked rammed in to all three of them like a bulldozer, as Randy's head was slammed into the ground, his vision began to blur, he fought to stay awake as the red one grabbed him and lifted him over its shoulder and the blue one stalked towards Howard and future ninja.
"No…." Randy croaked, before his eye lids became heavy and he let darkness take him.
