Okay, woah. Told ya I'd try and update sooner! Haha and I deliver(I mean it wasn't super fast haha but it was def shorter than the last hiatus(I cant believe I just called it a hiatus))
Okay on to the next chap, the last stand part 2!
Evil Randy cracked his knuckles as he stared directly at the small army of robots and vehicles advancing on him.
"Ahhhh, this takes me back man" Evil Randy said. "The hordes of Mcfist bots coming in over to be destroyed. Looks like Mcfist still doesn't know when to quit"
One of the giant hoverships suddenly shot a missile at Evil Randy, and it was coming in hot. Evil Randy held out his palm to meet the head of the giant missile. It detonated in his hand temporarily shrouding him in a giant explosion. From the explosion he emerged having jumped an insane height, he met the hovership head on and barreled straight through into the cockpit, a gruesome metallic scream the last thing heard from the robotic pilot. The hovership came crashing down on the army as they scrambled to move out of the way, a good chunk of them were lost in the crash. Evil Randy emerged from the wreckage an evil grin on his face.
"Who's next?"
~[line break}~~[line break}~~[line break}~
"Walk into the pool ninja" Smith said.
"Just walk into the pool?" Randy questioned, having removed his shirt. He starred at the pool which was once S. Ward Smiths sacred fire place.
"Just walk into the pool" Smith clarified.
"Just walk into it" Randy said to himself.
"Just get in the dang pool already boy!" Smith said losing patience.
"Alright!" Randy said putting his hands between him and Mr Smith. He walked slowly near the pool as Mr Smith began chanting some Japanese magic spells. Randy looked to first ninja.
"To be completely honest….I'm kinda scared" Randy said to his senior ninja.
"Well..you are very brave for doing this despite that fear" First ninja said praising Randy. "Just remember if you feel like you're getting overwhelmed just clear your mind, suck in your gut and…release"
"Pffft ha" Randy snickered. "I can't wait to tell Howard you did a fart joke"
"I didn't?"
"Then what was that from?" Randy questioned.
"It is…the feeling I get when I use the dragon fist" First ninja explained.
"Alright" Randy said, holding back the urge to tell him that that sounded a lot like what a fart would feel like.
"Okay…You rea—"Henry was about to ask, before he bumped his right knee hard into one of S. Ward smith's swords. "Dangit! Sonnova a shoob!"
"Woah there" Randy and first ninja came to his side. "How'd you not see that sword?"
"Blind" Henry said dryly. "Dude I'm blind on my right side remember? Like really it happened a few days ago?"
"Ohhh" Randy said embarrassed. "Hehe, totally...forgot, sorry about that"
Henry just rolled his eyes and motioned for the pool. Randy nodded first at Henry then at first ninja.
He had wanted to walk into the pool slowly and dramatically, however he had not expected that the pool would be so hot, causing him to fall face first into said pool. Boy was he glad that everyone else had already left to help evacuate, so only first ninja, Smith and Henry saw his epic failure.
"Sorry ninja, but it's gonna hurt a lot more after this…" Smith said as he dropped the five ninja masks into the pool, they fizzled and as if they were being drained the red accents on them seemed to drip out of the masks and merge with the water. Suddenly all at once the red water rushed around Randy's body and stuck to him. The moment they touched Randy's body he felt pain unlike anything he had ever felt before.
Randy made aunhuman howls of pain. He thrashed and convulsed in the water, he screamed non-stop as the raw energy surrounded his body. He clawed at his chest as if trying to tear it off, but the energy was becoming part of him. His pupils rolled back into his head, but even with his eyes lifeless he continued to scream and squirm in pain.
"Alright you other boy" Smith said snapping his fingers at Henry. "The nomicon taught you how to use art of telepathy right? Well it be safer if you connected to him right now"
"Remember Henry, focus" First ninja encouraged.
Henry knelt just above the head of the pool. He ran the nomicon's crash course on art of telepathy through his head again and again. He waved his hand in gestures for a bit then moved them in a circular motion above Randy's body. He closed his eyes and grunted in exertion, 'Okay connect with him, feel his thoughts, connect with Randy's thoughts….hnnggg' he thought to himself remembering the nomicon's key instructions were "connect with him"
Henry grunted and shook his head, he scrunched up his face until it was red with exertion, then he opened his eyes a horrified look in them.
"I can't do it…" He said fear gripping him.
~[line break}~~[line break}~~[line break}~
Robots began running in terror as Randy plowed through them like a tornado. He summoned a huge amount of feathers that flew in the air and formed a giant fist that mimicked his own fist. He brought it crashing down on the robots causing a massive tremor. As soon as some of them got up he zipped in front of them one by one, almost as if he was teleporting, tearing one a part then zipping to the next with his commit sprint.
"Oh this is fun" Evil Randy said. "But unfortunately I have an appointment 14 years in the making. And none of you tincans are getting in my way!"
A large McTank tried to ram him but Evil Randy with a grunt stopped it in its tracks, he picked up the tank by its canon and used it as a bat crushing all those in his way. The closer he got to the energy signal the more excited he got, he was so close now, nothing could stop him.
The robots tried to shoot him with everything they had, unfortunately to no avail. Their bullet ricocheted of him harmlessly, in some cases they even bounced off and hit their comrades. Evil Randy grew black feathers out of his arm, he then swung his arm throwing them and hitting 40 robots accurately on the head.
"Boom" He said as the feathers detonated like bombs, destroying the 40 bots and damaging others. The explosion illuminated Evil Randy from the back making him twenty times more intimidating then he already was. The Robots began to flee in terror, but Evil Randy had no intentions of leaving any survivors.
There were only a few bots left when he was done, he just needed to dismantle them and he'd be so close to the energy signal, he could finally get everything he deserved.
~[line break}~~[line break}~~[line break}~
"I-I can't do it…" Henry repeated, looking horrified. "Why can't I do it?!"
"Try again!" First ninja urged, looking at Randy writhing in pain. "Do it now!"
"I can't!" Henry argued. "I don't even know how to 'connect' to him! First ninja you do it!"
"I can't! I don't know how!" First ninja said. "I don't know that move, you were taught weren't you?"
"Yeah, but I don't understand!" Henry said. "How do I connect with him!?"
"Calm down" First ninja said, there was still some time before they 'needed' Henry to guide Randy back, but time was short, Evil Randy could appear any minute. "Think about what connecting to him means"
"Okay" Henry said breathing in and breathing out slowly. "Okay…"
~[line break}~~[line break}~~[line break}~
Evil Randy ripped the head off the last bot that blocked his path. As the motor oil splattered on his face, he paid no mind and simply continued to walk.
He was extremely close to the energy signal now. Just a few houses to go through.
~[line break}~~[line break}~~[line break}~
'Alright connect, what does it mean to connect to someone…'Henry asked himself. He opened his eyes slowly in realization.
"I have to understand him…." Henry said aloud. He simply got confused looks from Smith and first ninja. "I need to feel like he does, to have a feeling we've both felt before"
But what was that feeling?
~[line break}~~[line break}~~[line break}~
After breaking through the houses in front of him he arrived at his destination. Evil Randy smiled evilly, he should have known they'd be hiding here. He jumped as high as he could…
~[line break}~~[line break}~~[line break}~
Fear…
Randy said it himself, he knew the fear Henry had felt. He knew what it was like, and that would be their bridge. Henry closed his eyes again he felt it, a connection, it was faint but he latched on to it.
~[line break}~~[line break}~~[line break}~
Evil Randy crashed through the roof smiling maniacally at the fact he had finally reached his prey. But his twisted glee morphed into a face of confusion.
~[line break}~~[line break}~~[line break}~
Suddenly Henry's and Randy's eyes both opened at the same time, both glowing a bright white.
"He did it!" First ninja said in pride.
"Yeah, but he ain't the only one…." Smith said downcast. "I can feel it…that nomicon from the future? Its plan worked, it was able to hide our energy signal and guide that monster to it instead of us…"
First ninjas eyes became tense, Henry's nomicon's plan worked perfectly but, they all knew the fate that awaited the book that had once sealed Evil Randy away for 14 years.
"….I should go now" First ninja said seriously, preparing to stand guard outside. "We don't know how long it will be able to keep him occupied…"
~[line break}~~[line break}~~[line break}~
Evil Randy sneered in disgust at what he saw. There he was in his old house in his old room, and there on the small table he once owned was the nomicon.
"Ugh, of course, it had to be you" Evil Randy sauntered over to the book. His hand once again turned black and his nails grew to a red pointed claw, then his claws ignited in flames, it would be so easy to simply set the book a blaze right now, but for whatever reason he didn't. Instead the flames disappeared and he punctured the book with his index claw filling the book with his own energy.
A sort of ethereal being projected out of the book in a gasp. As if a ghost it was almost see-through, it wore a Japanese kimono that was black with red accents, but its face was odd. Its face, well it would be more accurate to say faces, for its face kept switching between different people, every new face diverse and different, at some instances his face shifted between Mac, Randy and first ninja. The being looked at its hand as if it were the first time ever having one, it looked around until it settled on Evil Randy. No matter how many faces it went through the one constant were the sad eyes that looked upon its once pupil.
"Where is the boy?" Evil Randy questioned. "Tell me so that you can be useful before I burn you"
"I—"It was a bit startled at its own voice, expected considering it was the first time it had ever heard its new voice, it seemed to be an echo as if multiple voices were talking at the same time. "I, believe you already know that I will tell you nothing"
Evil Randy grumbled, but he never released his finger from the book. "Then you're useless to me"
Evil Randy was about to reignite his claws when he noticed the nomicons hard eyes staring at him.
Evil Randy sneered. "Go on let it out, I know you're mad at me, probably not as mad as I am at you but still…"
"I'm not mad…" The nomicon said. "I'm just…Disappointed in you"
Evil Randy's face scrunched up in rage. "You're disappointed in me? YOU'RE DISAPPOINTED IN ME!? THAT'S JUST IT ISN'T IT! I'LL NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH WILL I!?"
The nomicon starred confused at his outburst.
"WHO WAS THE ONE WHO SHOWED ME VISION OF THE SORCERERS ESCAPE?! WHO IS THE ONE WHO DROVE ALL THAT DANGER AND FEAR INTO MY SKULL?!" Evil Randy questioned.
"Wait…" Nomicon said.
"I TRAINED UNTIL MY BONES CRACKED FOR YOU! FOR YOUR MISSION! FOR ALL OF THIS!"
"I didn't—"
"I BECAME A DEMON TO STOP THAT DEMON BECAUSE OF YOUR MISSION! I STOPPED TRYING TO BE A NORMAL KID FOR YOU! HAVING THE TENGU IN ME HAS SHOWN ME JUST HOW DANGEROUS THE WORLD REALLY IS EVEN WITHOUT THE SORCERER! MY MIND HAS BEEN OPENED TO WHAT THIS WORLD REALLY NEEDS! AND I CAN DO IT NOMICON! I KNOW I CAN! I CAN DO IT IF YOU JUST LET ME HAVE THIS DO OVER! BUT NONE OF YOU CAN SEE THAT!"
"I never!—"
"AND NOW?! NOW I'M DOING EVERYTHING YOU WANTED! I'M NOT GOING TO BE A MESS UP ANYMORE! I'M FINALLY TAKING RESPONSIBILITY OF MY POWERS! I'M TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY! I'M FINALLY WHAT YOU WANTED ME TO BE!"
"Stop!"
"I'M FINALLY A SOLDIER! WILLING TO DO EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING TO KEEP THE WORLD SAFE!"
"BUT I NEVER WANTED THAT FROM YOU!" Nomicon said finally raising its voice above Evil Randy's, it covered its ever changing face with its wrists and shook its head. "I never….wanted this, I thought I did, I thought it was needed, but I….was wrong ninja, oh god I was so wrong"
Evil Randy was in complete shock and confusion at what he was seeing, there was the nomicon telling him it was wrong.
"If I-I ever made you feel like a mess up...If I ever made you feel like you were anything less than the hero you were..." The nomicon said its many faces twisted in sorrow. "I am sorry ninja"
'Don't say it' Evil Randy thought tears pricking his eyes.
"I…. have always been so proud of you ninja…"the nomicon continued tears falling from its face for the first time in its existence. "And I am sorry for making you this, I am sorry for pushing you into this, I am so sorry….."
Evil Randy bit his lip as the tears fell from his eyes, a look of sorrow and regret flashing them for the briefest of moments. He shut them hard then opened them with steely determination. "I don't want your apologies…"
The claw that was connected to the book set on fire burning the book as it stayed connected to his hand. "I. WANT. MY. DO-OVER!"
With that the nomicon looked sadly on its last vision being that of its former pupils face, twisted into a face he no longer recognized, a face filled with nothing but rage and ill intent.
Evil Randy just stood there as his former mentor continued to burn. With the nomicon's interference out of the way he could clearly sense the true energy signal coming from the school. But he could not force himself to move from that spot, just as he could not force himself to move a few days ago, this was the second time, the second time he had killed one of his best friends and just as the first he for the life of him could not understand why his tears would not stop falling.
~[line break}~~[line break}~~[line break}~
Henry gasped as if he had awoken from drowning. 'What the juice?' he thought to himself. It was an odd sensation as if he was there but he wasn't actually there. He looked ahead of him and there was…Randy! He floated over to Randy and saw Randy wasn't the only person there. Randy was in the middle of nine older people, all wearing intricate Japanese clothing. Their faces were extremely disturbing as if they could not settle on one they constantly switched faces every moment. 'Honkin weird' Henry thought, but there was something he noticed all of them had, the symbol of the norisu nine was sewn onto each of the nine members clothes all varying in places the symbol was attached to. Who were these people? Why were they here? What were they doing to Randy? These were the questions that went through Henry's head.
"You have no norisu blood in you?" The head of the nine members accused. "Ahh no matter, I suspect out bloodline died out long ago, let the test begin"
'Test?' Henry asked in his head seemingly unable to ask a loud. The head member clapped his hands together three times and out of nowhere a bright white light enveloped both Randy and Henry….
Another chapter done, idk maybe I'll get this done in 2-3 more and we will reach the epic finale(well epic is subjective haha…sigh)
I actually wanted to make this longer by adding Randy's trial but I realized that might mess up the pacing and u guys need time to digest what happened here even if it wasn't much haha.
Anyway don't forget to review and support the official show however u can : )
