HAHA guess who back?! Well sorry for leaving you with a cliff hanger guys, couldn't be helped that time.
"does this mean you won't do it again?"
Shhhhh, I cant promise that buddy
Instead of the normal black strips of cloth that wrapped Randy's body, was a dark green sludge that poured out from the mask and covered his entire body. To Randy Cunningham the pain was intense, it felt as if the green gunk was melting his skin but instead of pouring of the green gunk merged with his body forming a green and black version of the suit. Randy screamed in pain as the suit melded with his body, as he widened his jaw the mask's mouth guard tore also merged with his lips, revealing that his teeth had turned a sickly shade of yellow. Randy stopped screaming and stood crookedly, he turned his head up to show his now revealed mouth twisted in a devious grin, his eyes had no pupils but they glowed a bright white light. As he stood the cracked powerball regained its light and healed its crack, it then started floating in mid-air and began circling Randy like a moon orbiting a planet. He stood there ominously twisted grin and all, his lanky green figure resembling that of an ancient dark sorcerer.
Evil Randy has been scared before, as is the nature of his deeply rooted paranoia, but at least then he could hide it. Now the fear was clear as day on his face, the grin, the eyes, the echo in Randy's voice. It all reminded him so much of the very being that drove him to resort to using the tengu's power in the first place, the very being that taught him that pure evil must be destroyed no matter what or who he had to sacrifice, the very being who once almost took his life. Evil Randy held his hand out and a sword handle grew out of his palm, he used his other hand to pull it all the way out, he held out a red bladed, black handle sword.
Randy just cackled and held out his hand in the shape of a gun and pointed it at Evil Randy.
"Hands up. You have a sword but I have a gun" Randy said, an ominous reverberation in his voice as if two people were talking at the same time.
Evil Randy just sneered at him and took a step.
"Bang" Randy said folding his thumb, imitating a gunshot with his hand. Without warning the powerball that was orbiting Randy shot at Evil Randy like a bullet. Evil Randy barely dodged using his sword to block the ball from scrapping him, but his attention was focused on the ball so he had no way of seeing Randy come out of nowhere and tackling him sending them both flying at the speed of a bullet train towards the school. As they tussled in the air Evil Randy was able to get a hold of Randy and threw him full force at the school causing Randy to crash through the walls and into the main hall. Evil Randy flew after him.
"Soooo….Thats bad" Ninja Howard commented, getting up from the crater with Ma, the one he and mac were unconscious in a while ago.
"Yup" Howard agreed.
"That idiot!" Henry said punching the ground and getting up. "Why would he do something this stupid?!"
"Desperation, probably" First ninja said. "Are you sure you can keep up with us?"
"Blind or not you guys are gonna need all the help you can get to stop both Randy's" Henry said.
-[line break]- -[line break]- -[line break]-
The student body erupted in screams as something came crashing through the walls. Everybody stood hesitantly as the smoke cleared and someone emerged from the clearing smoke. The students gasped at the current look of their towns once guardian.
"Ninja?" One Theresa Fowler asked frightened.
The ninja turned still with that disgusting grin and reached out towards her. But before he could touch her another figure crashed through the walls and tackled Randy out the other side of the school sending them hurling towards the town.
As they flew Evil Randy pushed Randy to the ground letting Randy's back be scrapped by the street. Evil Randy then began punching Randy right in the face.
"Looks like *punch* I'm gonna *punch* have to beat *punch* some sense back into you!" Evil Randy said continuing to deck Randy.
"I can feel it" Randy said ignoring the pain. "Your fear…..fear turns to helplessness, helplessness turns into irrationality…irrationality turns INTO CHAOS!"
Randy grabbed Evil Randy's wings and turned their controlled flight into a directionless spiral. They both crashed into the local gas station causing it to explode sending either flying in opposite directions from each other. The people creamed and fled as the two super powered beings began to get back up.
They eyed each other from their ends of the road. Like an old western standoff, both clenched their fists waiting for the other to make the first move. Randy moved in dash first causing Evil Randy to block. The collision of an unstoppable force and an unmovable object caused a shockwave that shattered all the glass windows in the area.
Evil Randy and Randy wrestled in a fury of hand to hand combat attacks. Evil Randy grappled Randy and threw him across the street, Evil Randy then energized his feet activating his ninja commit sprint, and before Randy skidded to a halt Evil Randy was already behind him and sent him flying again. Randy crashed into a fire hydrant, he got back up and rolled his shoulders then began taking running leaps each getting higher. This confused Evil Randy as he knew he could dodge easily, but when Randy came crashing down on the earth with a huge amount of force he realized he wasn't trying to attack he was trying to cause an earthquake. Before Evil Randy to get his wings in the air Randy slammed into the air causing a quake that made the street flow like a lake when a pebble had been dropped in it. The chunks of earth moving and the violent shaking caught Evil Randy off balance giving Randy the chance to sock him right in the face.
Evil Randy fell back and clenched his jaw. Randy just cackled and motioned his hands in the 'bring it on' gesture. Evil Randy charged like an angry bull. Randy just side stepped as Evil Randy crashed into the local bank and straight into the vault causing it to dent. He panted and looked up as Randy crashed through the ceiling.
"You're weak" He said as Evil Randy stared daggers at him. "Unsure of yourself...afraid"
"Raaaargh!" Evil Randy roared as he took flight straight at Randy, even doing a barrel roll. He tackled his to the street once again. Evil Randy backed up and hovered in the air, Watching as Randy got back up.
"Plus you're at a disadvantage" Randy chuckled as he wiped the blood from his lips. "You can't kill me, but I CAN KILL YOU!"
The powerball orbiting Randy began firing concentrated energy from it like a machine gun that fired lasers instead of bullets. Evil Randy dodged and weaved, he flew towards Randy still gracefully out manoeuvring the laser, and he twisted and picked up Randy by the back of his scarf, he pulled Randy high in the air and in front of him. He punched Randy on the chest so hard it sent Randy zooming towards one of the local parking lots. Cars, trucks and vans erupted in explosions and flames as Randy's body collided with them.
As Evil Randy lowered himself back down to the street he began contemplating on his next move. 'He's right though. I can't kill him, so I'm at a huge handicap, the smart thing to do right now is retreat'
The team of ninjas smoke bombed in as Evil Randy turned to face them. The party of ninjas plus Howard stared Evil Randy down, as Evil Randy did the same to them.
"Oh truck…." Howard said.
"Language" First ninja scolded.
"No I meant literal truck!" He said pointing to the sky. A 16 wheeler truck covered in green flames came flying through the air and crashed into Evil Randy knocking him into the Mchotel across the street.
Randy came shortly after, the green flames at his back giving him an ominous shadow. Randy opened his palm to his side and the powerball flew towards it. The powerball began absorbing loads of stank energy, preparing for a big attack. He continued his slow walk towards the Mchotel, fear taking over his former friends faces.
"No! There are innocent people in that building!" First ninja said dashing towards Randy. Randy swatted him away like nothing. Mac and Henry used their chain sickles to grab hold of Randy, but Randy's superior strength outmatched them as he pulled the chains throwing them.
"Cunningham no!" Ninja Howard said grabbing onto Randy's arm, Once again Randy shoved him away. First ninja and Henry grabbed onto him once again, Randy head butted first ninja sending him to the ground then he kicked Henry in the gut sending him flying. Randy raised his arm to aim the attack as Ninja Howard tried to intervene by jumping on Randy's back, Randy grabbed him by the face and threw him. The Powerball was glowing with intense green light as he aimed it right at the building. But just as he was about to fire the not ninja Howard stepped in front of him.
"Cunningham….Don't do this bro" Howard said choking. "C'mon, I want my bro bac—"
He was interrupted as Randy backhanded Howard sending him flying into a building wall, Howard gasped at the impact and fell unconscious.
Randy just cackled maniacally the powerball gained more and more energy. Randy just kept on laughing and laughing unaware of the events happening around him. Evil Randy stirred and began to regain consciousness.
All the ninjas were huddled around Howard. They were busy trying to help him as he would not wake up.
"He's not breathing!" First ninja said.
Henry closed his eyes then opened them rage burning within. He wasn't gonna let Mr. Weinerman die again.
He walked over to Randy who continued to charge his powerball and laugh wickedly. Still so unaware or simply apathetic to the events around him. That is until Henry spoke.
"You hurt Howard, Randy" Henry said from behind Randy.
Randy turned his head in confusion. His face once filled with evil glee replaced with confusion mixed with concern.
"You hurt Howard!" Henry continued. "You hurt your best friend! The guy who's been with you through it all!"
Evil Randy noticed Randy's distraction and flew out of there. Shifting a worried glance to everything unfolding, but luckily this did not ruin his plans completely yet.
Randy turned his gaze to where first ninja, Mac, Ninja Howard and Howard were. He saw them all frantic, first ninja panicky pumping Howard's chest with his hands, trying to restart his heart.
"I know you wanted to beat this guy…." Henry said turning his back towards Randy. "But I didn't think you'd be willing to sacrifice you're 'best friend' to do it"
With that Randy lowered his arm and the powerball lost all its energy. Randy stared at his hand and grit his teeth. He pulled the mask off his face, he swore he could feel pieces of his own skin coming off too, but he ignored the pain, there was something much more important, he had to bare it, he had too.
With a final tug he ripped the mask off his face as the suit turned back into sludge that fell off his body. The chaos energy from the mask released and returned to the powerball. But Randy paid no mind to it the second it was off, he dashed and slid on his n=knee's next to Howard. Watching as first ninja pumped Howard's heart relentlessly trying to restart it.
"C'mon…" First ninja said after each pump. "C'mon!"
Randy bit his lip as it began quivering. Tears pricking his eyes. He looked at the mask in his hands again, he had an idea. He forced the mask back onto his face.
"Move" He said as he took first ninja's place and placed his hands above Howard's heart. "C'mon big H, come back to me bro….please.
Randy gathered the weakest amount of ninja energy he could and released the weakest version of airfist possible onto Howard's chest. The impact caused Howards body to jolt, but then nothing. Randy laid his head on Howard's chest ready to cry as the other ninjas bowed their heads.
But then Randy heard something, it was faint, but it was there. Randy activated his super senses and listened, he heard a faint beat. He looked to the others relief in his eyes as he heard the beating grow louder. Suddenly Howard had a fit of coughing, Randy clutched his hand and patted Howards back as he coughed. The ninjas had never been so relieved.
As Randy sighed, wiping the tears from his eyes. He felt cold metal at his throat.
Suddenly the air was silent as Henry stood to Randy's left suited up and holding his sword to Randy's throat.
"Henry, what are you doing?" First ninja questioned, deep concern on his face.
"Making the difficult decision" Henry said. "If you die now, that you will never exist"
Randy gulped as Henry tightened his grip around the blade's handle.
"Henry stop this, this instant!" First ninja commanded.
"The nomicon said so…" Henry said. "Maybe it wasn't talking to you Randy, maybe it was talking to me. The ninja must make the difficult choices…even if he doesn't agree with them"
First ninja moved like lightning, using a palm strike to knock the sword out of Henry's hand. Henry backed up and held his wrist with his other hand, the determination never leaving his face.
"I-I get why you're mad okay…" Randy said, his voice cracking. "But I thought this was the only way—"
"No you don't get it!" Henry said. "Sweet cheese you don't get why we're mad at you! We're mad because you didn't trust us enough to let us in on you little back-up plan! We're mad because you thought it was necessary to endanger all of us and every civilian in norrisville just to win!"
Randy flinched from Henry's verbal assault that left Randy feeling like the worst person on earth. Randy shut his eyes and bit his lip as Henry continued.
"But you know what the worst part…is." Henry said, looking at the ground. "…For a second, I thought that you were my friend, that maybe all those, stories…of how ruthless and bad you were, I thought they were wrong when I got to hang out with you…But in the end, you acted just like he would. You were willing to sacrifice anything and anyone to be stronger, and I feel so stupid for believing otherwise"
That felt like a direct blow to Randy's heart. Henry turned to leave as the other ninja's took his lead. Mac picked up Howards still unconscious body and they all left Randy to sit there, all except first ninja.
"First ninja" Randy said choking on his words as tears began to fall. "You gotta understand, I had no other choi—"
"I understand why you did what you did, ninja" First ninja said his back turned. "What I do not understand is where is the ninja who would not give up hope even when he stared the sorcerer in the face, where is the ninja who showed me that there is always hope…"
Randy began quietly sobbing.
"Did you ever notice that out of our entire team of ninjas…You were the only one I addressed as 'ninja'?" first ninja said turning and walking towards Randy. "It was a sign of respect, a sign of gratitude to you the boy who showed me what it meant to be a hero, I just wonder…..what had happened to that boy. Meet us back at Doug's….Goodbye, Randy"
First ninja took Randy's mask and walked away. Leaving Randy alone with the overwhelming weight of his feelings of sadness.
