Chapter 6: Parents with Issues
…..Randy's Room...
Randy sits on the floor of his bedroom, he has a controler his hands and looks concentrated to the tv screen. On the tv screen is the game Grave Puncher 5 seeing and left above, a smaller display with a gaming Howard at the video chat. Both of them are pressing with pushing buttons and turning their joysticks. "Come on!...Almost ... "says Randy tensed as his character runs to a huge grave and punched it non stop..
"This time we must succeed! Valentine said that with the double Combo karate kick mega fist cheat...You absolutely can beat the final boss! " says Howard also busy with punching the grave.
"Lets hope it for us own sake... "says Randy and nods to Howard. "Ready?"
Howard nods and sighs deeply. ''LET'S DO THIS!'' shouted he.
"Double Combo Karate Kick Mega Fist!"calling they as they presses the buttons of their controllers as two lunatics. The two characters jumps up and shapes all doubling himself, making with their hands a huge boks glove and shooting it with a karate chop that goes off to a huge gravestone. If the four gloves touch the stone one by one, there seems to be a bright white light ... and nothing else. Both guys look expectantly to the screen.
"What happen?! Did we won?! "calls Howard strained.
When on tv screen "Level Compled! You win this game! "appears, cheering the guys hard.
"Epic! We played GP5 out! Finally! "says Randy satisfied with two fists in the air.
"Yes, it took longer than expected ... stupid boss...We already played the other GP games out…" says Howard amazed as he holds his hand in pointing to the screen. Randy grins and points to his screen to say something curious."But now we're ready for.,"
" GRAVE PUCNHER 13: THE RISE OF THE CEMENTRY VAMPIRE!"sreams both happy.
"Friday October 30th he finally comes out!"says Randy happy and shakes his fists with a ''CAN'T WAIT FOR IT!'' look on his face.
"The Halloween Edition! Only 100 examples and we are one of those 100! "Howard says really agitated.
Randy nods and looks away from the screen when he in a corner of his room, the nomicon sees glowing. Howard looked in the same direction as him and groans as he sees the stupid book.
"Ahh! And if that stupid book ruined our chance to get the GP13 limed edition ...Get that book a single trip down ... in my underpants! "says Howard irritated. Randy smiles a little nervous at him as he holds his hand in the front of him to calm Howard down.
"Rellax ... that doesn't happen ...Besides, Now I finally understand what the nomicon meant with The ones you care, the ones you hurt the most.. " says Randy as he scratched the back of his neck. Howard cocked an eyebrown when he heard this.
"It toke you a whole week to figure that out?" asks he with low hanging eyes to show Randy his sarcastic.
"Well ...Yeah?" answered Randy a little hesitate.
Howard face-palmed and give him a dumb look."Don't say that you didn't know at who you care about!" calls he at Randy, let him think about it.
"Well ...My mom, dad, you, maybe Nikki, Theresa or your... " counts he out loud and it's cut off by Howard.
"Wow Wow wait...Fowler? Valentine?" asks he confused. Randy holds up his shoulders and give him a questioning look. ''Yes? Why? There are more girls I care about...like your sister.'' says he as he moves his browns up and down with a grin on his face. Howard's cheeks turned green and try to hold his vomit in. ''Arggg...DUDE! THAT'S GROSS!'' shouted he out, let Randy more laughing.
"Hey, do you remember that project of Health Class?" says he to try to change the subject.
"What?...with those babies?"
Randy nods as Howard remember more things that happen that week.
"And that Mcfist has hanging all the Christmas decorations up in October! And you get shoot in your..." tells Howard thoughful to come up with more things, but is cut off by a irritated Randy.
"Shouldn't I tell the whole story?!" says he irritated by the fact that Howard wanna tell HIS story. Howard holds his hands in front of him with a ''Go Ahead!'' experssion on his face. Randy nods in satisfied at his biffer. "Thanks ... it all started last week..." starts Randy as he images the last week in his mind.
...A week ago..
Randy ride with his bike quiet alone along a row houses, with a full equipped dark blue satchel on his back he drives towards the school. A strong wind blowing there today and our favorite purple haired hero kicks firmly.
After a few minutes driving along, a yellow bus with "School Bus" on the front of it, past him by. Randy looks up and sees that the bus is full of a crowded charge with school kids.
The purple haired laughs to himself. "One good thing about a bike, not fighting the school bus crowd..." says he satisfied as he stills ride on his bike. If he ever comes closer to the school, he begins to smell something. "That ...That smells like a ... something is burning?!... and ... oil?!...Oh boy.. "
When he parked his bike in the bike rack and has shrugged off his helmet, he sees a row of several burning cars including those of the Principal. "Poor P-Slimo...That's the fifth time ... in two days ...Who did this? "
Huge footsteps sounding behind him and come even closer to him. As the object blocked the sun and shows his form in the shadow, Randy starts to think about the form and construction of "the thing" behind him. "That looks very familiar ... don't say it...don't say it..." said he thoughtfully. "Uhm ... "
As "the thing" comes to a stand, there sounds a hard cry ... a kind of ... clucking sound that's heard about Norrisville High and replayed over the whole city. Randy stiffens when he hears this cry and begins to get nervous traits. "Oh no ... I recognize that sound of thousands.."He says and turns careful. Panicky he looks at a mechanical design built of ... a huge chicken.
"A giant chicken!"He calls with a frightened panicky tone in his voice. The mechanical chicken walks quietly along against him while Randy tries to keep calm in the meantime. "Okay Cunningham ... you have be closed in a dome with twelve chickens ... ridden on a big rooster ... and survived The Cluck Fest ... so you can do it!"He says and takes the mask from his jack. He give it one look and sigh before he hide between some burning cares and put it on his face.
The robot chick walks step for step towards the school building. Clucking he begins to pick in the cars, as if it were some crumbs of bread. At the flagpole where the school flag of Norrisville High flies in the cool morning wind, is a second player studying the robot chicken carefully. "Finally ...I Am looking for you this whole morning. "says a girls voice.
A blue piece lap wraps itself around the pole, the girl walks some backwards before she run towards the egde of the roof. The blue fabric let loose by the pole and the girl falls right to the robot.
''Ninja Chicken...What the Juice?! "she hears a guys voice saying before she falls against him and both are created equal with the ground. The ninja groans when he fells the person above him on his back and looks slow up. He looked surprised at the person. ''Guardian?!...Is that you?"' asks he to make sure it's her.
The girl goes off him and offers him a hand. The ninja ''Whoops. ... My bad ... sorry hot shot... ' "she says as she pulls the ninja up. The ninja looks at her with a worried face. ' ' Is ... all is well with you? "' The guardian looks at him asking with a smile. ''Uh yeah ... why not? " asks she with an expression on her face that she has no idea what he's talking about. I can't tell him that I was the girl he saved out the frozen lake, it will ruin our temporary partnership and...oh yeah...HE WANNA KNOW THAT I'M JUST A 14 YEAR OLD GIRL THAT JUST WEAR TIGHTS! Maybe he gets also an idea who I am because I don't wear my mouth mask...AND WHAT SHOULD IT?! I CAN'T HANDLE IT ANYMORE! I CAN'T ALMOST BREATHE WITH THAT THING! HOW DO HE DO IT? HIS WHOLE FACE IS COVERED WITH HIS MASK!
The ninja rubbed the back of his head and looked up in the sky, thinking for a good answer on her question. ''Because ... well ... after ...uhhhh...I-I-I haven't seen you two days..." says he a little nervous and smiles also nervous as he let out a sigh. I can't tell her that I know who she is, it will ruin our temporary partnership and our friendship. As she wanna know who I am, SHE WANNA KNOW THAT I'M JUST A 15 YEAR OLD BOY WEAR A BLACK PJ AND A FRIEND WHO DON'T TRUST HER WITH HIS SECRET!
The guardian nods and looked at him with a blank look and a sly grin. ''Ohhh, I get it already ...You've missed me!" calls she as she points to him grinning. The ninja shakes his head a little and starts confused at her. ''What?''' says heas the gaurdian still laugh.
''You missed me, didn't you?! ADMITE! ADMITE!'' calls she laughing as she still pointing at him and jumps up and down. The ninja smiles under his mask and didn't look at her. ''Well ... ' " says he as he wanna admite he missed her, but both heroes scares when a giant robot chicken egg approaches to them and the ninja pushes their just in time away. Both hit the ground as the egg explodes a little further, in the woods near the school and close to the swamp.
The feeling of this explosion, let the ground shaking into the deepest depth.
Under this soil, an underground study room shakes heavily because of that. Some books falls out of the bookcase and the trapped person in this room, opens quick her eyes and get out of her grunting trans. Angry, looks a few dark purple irrisen around her before they go in the direction of the old dusty office. ' ' WHAT SHALL WE GET NOW?' " calls she and reaches her hand out to the crystal ball that stays on the desk. ''SHOW ME THE GUARDIAN!" calls she.
The crystal ball shows her the images what's above her all going on. In the ball sees she the ninja and guardian, facing the same robot chicken. The ninja nods to the guardian and both make some arm movements.
''NINJA TENGU FIREBALL!'' screams the ninja.
''GUARDIAN DRAGON ICEBALL!" screams the guardian.
A twist of fire and ice goes in the direction of the robot before it collapses. Both heroes cheer and give each other a high five. When the head of the chicken falls into the hands of the ninja, he throws this fast away and looks at it with a frightened look in his eyes. The guardian looks at him questioningly as she shakes her head before the crystal stops shinning.
Thinking looks the wife to the crystal ball before she walks towards it. ' ' Hmm ...What a shame. All that metal that can used for other things... ' "she says and picks up a book from one of the nearest bookcase that stands by the desk. She watching the pages fast before she pressure looks to one with interesting. ' ' Just what I was looking for ...Time to rise an old friend of me…''she says with an evil grin on her face. She puts her left hand on the crystal ball and speaks unintelligible words whispering out.
' ' What happened? ' "says the guardian asking if she see the ninja still looking afraided at the head of the chicken. The ninja realizes now what she meant and coughs before he looked at her. ''Uhm ... that was a reaction ... the head was hot ... so.."' says he to explain his nervous and scared reaction.
''Hm.." says the guardian unbelievable. If you don't know better, you should think that the ninja is a little afraid of chickens...
Both don't know or see behind their the moving pieces metal of the robot remains together. The moving metal disappears behind some burning cars, but not without a sound. The ninja and guardian look behind and see something move. In a quick response , the guardian takes the medallion out of her suit.
''Guardian Heart Ray!" calls she and shoots a blue beam of light, in the direction of the unknown object. ''Uhm ... Do you think it was necessary?'' asks she with a hesitant feeling as she looked at the ninja.
He shrugs his shoulders and put his hands on his hips. ''Probably not ... I think it can't give any problems, don't you think GP?"' answered he.
''GP?"' asks the guardian and sese that the ninja ,despite he wearing the mask, grins to her.
''Guardian Partner ...Since you called me Hot Shot ... too much?"' asks he, still with a grin on his face.
''No, no! It sounds good to me!" answered she enthusiastic about her little nickname he give her.
The ninja and guardian watch scare at the same time as they looking behind them when they hear the school bell. "I'll see you later hot shot!"says the guardian.
"I'll see you later GP!"says the ninja.
Both give each other one last look before they turn around and each run another side. Hidden behind the burning chunks of cars and a secluded slaughter robot chicken, the head is picked up by a mechanical robot hand from something or someone. One of the robotic fingers change to a USB stick and pulls it into the head of the chicken. Information is loaded and downloaded into the unknown object until a screen appears in the eyes of the chicken with "Downloading compled"on it.
The hand throws the head with a hard swing away and opens a built-in wrist screen and starts ticking. After a few seconds of computer bleeps, a picture of the ninja shows and words appears above the photo in red color with"Destroy"on it. The hand continued ticking and a another picture appears, this time one of the guardian. Above this picture are words shows in green color with"Keep Alive" on it.
"Understood mistress .." says a male voice and goes up in the smoke.
...In the School...
Nicole opens quick the back door of the school and starts running through the hall. When she want the bend the corner, she bumped into someone and both shrink back against the ground. She shakes her head a little bit to get the dizzy feeling out her mind and looked surprised as she sees the person who she just hit. "" Hey ... What's going on? '"She asks delivers when she sees the person with a sad look.
A few halls away, Randy runs through the doors of the hall, and takes a sprint. Panting and searching he runs past the doors of premises. "Health Class..Health Class ..." he said aloud and grins when he sees the class at the end of the corridor. "Yes !" says he pleased. But the enthusiasm is soon over when he get surprised by a second latecomer and both collide with each other. Randy looks blurred to the person, a person who isn't a stranger from him... his best friend Howard. Howard rubs against his head before he looks at Randy.
"Watch it Shoob!" calling the boys. Angry they look at each other, until the door of the classroom opens.
"Cunningham! Weinerman!"yelled a female voice in the doorway, both boys looked up and sees Mrs. Wickwhacker standing in the doorway. With both hands on her hips, she looks at the boys angrily. "Congratulations, You two late comers are paired up for a special health sciences project ... I now pronounce you man, woman and child ... .." she says, and throws a baby doll to them. They both catch up and look at each other, still upset with the doll in their hands.
"I'm so not kissing the bride ..." Randy says rolling his eyes before he looks at Howard.
"What makes you think you can?" Said Howard as he looks at him sour.
Both boys realize after a few seconds what they saided and look wide eyed at each other. Shivering, they try to get the image out of their heads. "Shnasty !" calling both.
"And Why I'm the wife ?! YOU always acting as a chicken as it becomes to chicks!" says Howard first angry but later grins he sly at the word joke he made about his biffer. Randy rolled his eyes as reaction on this lame joke and give a look.
"Because I have a duty!..AND YOU HAVEN'T A DUTY!" calls he very serious, but let the ginger haired chuckled about his reaction.
"DUTY!...YOU SAY DUTY! TWO TIMES! HAHAHAHAHA..." says Howard and burst into laugher. Mrs. Wickwhacker didn't get the joke and points into the classroom. ''GO TO YOUR DESKS! SIT AND LISTEN!'' shouted she angry.
Both boys nods quick in agree and salute to the woman. " YES MA'AM!" calls both at the same time and walks quick into the classroom. In the classroom is everyone sitting in a boy-girl couple with also a baby doll like them. Randy and Howard sit down at they desks and look to each other.
"Why are we the only ... Guy couple?" says Randy as Howard holds up his shoulders. "It just surprise me..and as I look good ... I don't even see Fowler and Valentine either .. '" says Howard before Mrs. Wickwhacker continued her lesson.
"This health class project, learn you students something about responsibility ... the upcoming week, you ..." says Mrs. Wickwhacker, but is interrupted by two girls who coming running out the door of the classroom. "VALENTINE! FOWLER! WHERE ARE YOU TWO COMING FROM SO LATE?!" calls she.
Nicole beckons the Miss to come some closer to her, as Mrs. Wickwhacker stands close by Nicole, she whisper something ,that's inaudible for the other students, in her ear. Nodding, she looks at Theresa and back to Nicole. "Okay ... that seems like a good reason ... Uhm ... a couple of the same gendre again... I suggest that one of you girls going to work together with one of those two gentlemen there .." says Mrs. Wickwhacker as she points to Randy and Howard.
"I claim Valentine!" exclaims Howard if he stands up and points to her. He gets a group of eyes on him from the whole class who looked questioning at him, including those of Mrs. Wickwhacker and Nicole.
Nicole looks at him quizzically, as if he sees her as the last chicken wing. "Agree? ... I think? ... Should I be flattered or insulted ?!" asks she whispering at Theresa who stands at her left side.
Theresa shrugs. "I have know idea ..." whispers she back.
"Good! Ms. Valentine is paired with Mr. Wienerman and Ms. Fowler is paired with Mr. Cunningham ... Here's your baby .." she says, and gives a baby doll at Theresa. Slightly blushing she looks forward before sundry along with Nicole for their desks. Together they sit in front of Randy and Howard.
"What I wanted to tell you is that you the next week take care for a baby doll as parents... at the end of the week you get a grade for this project and this will count on your final grade .." tells Mrs. Wickwhacker.
"Oh boy .." say Randy and Nicole simultaneously, knowing it will be start to pass this class as you have also an important duty.
"Well ... meet your new responsibilities for the next week .." says she before she sits down at her desk to do some paper work.
As the class starting chatting with each other, Theresa and Nicole turn both around to look at the boys. Nicole is the first one who started a conversation with them.
"So ... why you wanted me as your partner?" Asks Nicole if she points to Howard. "You aren't in love with me right?!"
"What?! Gross! You aren't my type! And besides ... Cunningham and you are already project partners in Biology ..." explain Howard as he points to Randy.
Nicole nods. "Good point... okay ... Project Valenman .." she says, and gives him a high five.
Randy and Theresa look at each other. "And we are team Fowlham, right Theresa?" Says Randy. Theresa smiles and nods. "It'll be fun .." she says, and let Randy smile.
Nicole looks from Theresa to Randy and escape a small smile. Resa shall be happy with Randy as her partner...Wonder how this project will continue...I have to pass this class.
"Why are you girls so late in class?" asks Randy curious at the excuse the girls have. This question let Theresa flushing and Nicole looks at him seriously. "A better question is ... why were you guys the only guy couple?" asks she with a grin.
Randy and Howard give each other a look in silence before they looking at Nicole. "Touche .." says they at the same time.
When the bell rings, the two groups walking out the class. Group FowlHam stands near the classdoor. "Shall I keep the doll with me?" Asks Theresa if she carried the baby doll in her hands. Randy nods. "Sure .."
Theresa smiles and nods before she walks away. "I'll see you at chemistry .." says she a little waving with her left hand.
"I'll see you then .." says Randy before he goes to Howard and Nicole who holding a conversation.
"It seems better to me that I hold the doll with me .." hear he Nicole saying and sees that she puts the doll in her backpack. Howard moans at this and sees Randy standing next to Nicole with a questioning look.
"Ah come on! Hey Cunningham! Tell her that I am responsible enough to fit on a doll .." says Howard sulking as he points to Nicole with his right hand. Nicole turns around to see Randy and wait for his answer.
"Howard isn't responsible enough to fit on a doll." said Randy as Nicole looks at him.
"YOU SEE! I... wait a minute .." says Howard as he recognize what Randy just said and sees Nicole laughing about it.
"Question, how is the project layout between you two?" asks she Randy as he puts on her shoulder and lying some forward to say something in her ear. "I wish you luck .." whispers he, let the chocolate haired nodding.
"Clear, very clear..." says she will she shakes her head by thinking about what Howard will, can or shall do...or won''t, can't or shouldn't do. She feels that Randy's hand is still on her shoulder and turns to him to see a worried look in his sapphire blue eyes. Nicole looked blank at him before he starts to speak. '''Are you all right? After...you know...I-I-I don't hear anything of you...Lindsey texted that you're fine, but I-I-I w-wanna call you...But I-I-I w-wasn't s-s-sure if y-y-you w-wanna..." says he stuttered. He stops with talking as he hear Nicole's chuckle and smiles at him.
''Hey, it's okay Ran...Lindsey told me everything... "" she says as she still sees his worried face. He give her a small nod as he looked down to the ground with both hands in his jeans pockets. She looked a little thoughful to say something more as she puts her right arm around Randy's shoulders. Surprised he looked up to see that she give him a warm smile."Thank you ... that you are so worried about me….and not only now but also the last two days...and not only you but also Howard...'' tells she as she give Howard a nod. Howard give her a nervous look and grin. ''WH-H-HAT-T-T-T...I didn't worry about you...I-I-I...WHAT DID WESTER TOLD YOU?!'' calls he irritated as he points to Nicole as threat.
The girl smiles sly as she puts her other hand on her hip. ''She told me, and these are her words not me, that married couple Wienerham really really really making care about me...And I was just like...AWHHH, YOU GUYS REALLY CARE ABOUT ME!'' tells she with a warm and emotional tune in her voice. ''Thats so shweet...''
''OFCOURSE WE DID! YOU WAS HYPOTHERMIA!'' calls Howard amazed and worried. Randy and Nicole cocked both an eyebrown and looked at him with a grin on their face. ''So, you did care..''says the girl.
Howard rolled his eyes before he raised an eyebrown and give her a smile. ''Maybe a little bit..'' admite he.
Nicole smiles wide as she let her arm go from Randy. ''Well, I must be honest...I watched some videos on my laptop, just out of boring, and...I laughed my ass off of those ones we three made in the McIce Salon...I litterly cried of laugh of the one that you're balancing a spoon on your nose and made funny faces and you put a straw at each corner of your mouth and pretended you were a walrus! HAHAHAHAHA! THE FACES OF THOSE PEOPLE BEHIND...PRICELESS!HAHAHAHAH..." tells Nicole will she laughing so hard that her stomach hurts.
Both boys grinning proudly as they heard a familiar voice calling for someone... and approaching them.
''NIKKI!'' shouted a blonde girl and jumps on the back of Nicole. Staggering stands Nicole on her legs before she let them both fall to the ground. The brunette is firmly embraced by the blonde who reciprocates her gently. " You're back! My best sis forever and after that ... is honkin back! '" exclaims the blonde happy. Grinning nervously watching the brunette to the students who pass through their with questioning glances.
'We'll give you two some time alone ...' "says Howard when he and Randy carefully and slowly walking backwards away from the girls. Nicole rolled her eyes and looks smiling to her best friend. "It's also nice to see you too Linnie ... " says Nicole as Lindsey release her.
"" I see you guys at chemistry ... AND I HOLD THE BABY WITH ME! " shouts she at the boys and their put their hands up before they handle the bend.
"It seems to going good with her since ...you know .." says Howard.
Randy nods. "Fortunately ..." he says as they walk together to Howard's locker. "Now I know ... well, we know..that she is the guardian, I see her in a other way .."
"You mean, you don't see her as THE guardian anymore, but just as Valentine .." explains Howard and give his friend a look that he just nailed it.
Randy nods in agree. "She looked early so familiar to me... And chances are quite high that the Socerer and also Mcfist going after her..and they might come even earlier after her true identity than mine! '' calls he a little panic.
Howard looked up from his locker and give Randy a serious look. ''Cunningham, you know as the best that Mcfist after all those months when you're the ninja doesn't have any one time unmasked ... why would the identity of the guardian within…. 8 weeks? Let we say, since the guardian is here around, will be unmasked?""
Randy looks silently ahead before Howard just beginning to realize. "" You're worried about Valentine!"
"" What! ... Well, no ... it's not ... It's not that I-I-I ...Yes ... and that isn't also one of the reason why I haven't telling her yet.. "
" Because she will worried too towards you...Like you doing now?" says Howard as he raised an eyebrown as he sees Randy nodding.
"Exactly, and that can lead to unnecessary anxiety and we going into trouble with that.."
"DON'T DO IT ALSO!..Come on, it's Weenie Wendseday .."
Randy's body starts to shake by this though. "Thats worse than Taco Thuesday .."
"I know ... but I still eat it .."
The girls finally stands up from the ground. Nicole cleaned her jeans a little with her hands. "Good to see you back at school ... How are you?" asks Lindsey as she puts her satchel around her body.
"Fine ..." says Nicole as she puts her backpack a little up on her left shoulder. Lindsey looks at her and sees that she is not entirely fair. "And?" asks she, waiting for more.
To her surprise, Nicole grabs her by both shoulders and pulls her some bite to her. "Dreams aren't real, weren't they? You see it! I should have listen to myself and haven't to go out of the innocent!" whispers Nicole a little angry.
Lindsey give her a glance as Nicole try to say that's all her fault. "Who told you to listen to me anyway?! On the way to the emergency room, your mom began to ask some questions to me , like… how this could have happened to you!" whispers Lindsey irritated back.
Nicole looks startled to Lindsey and let her go. "What ... what did you say?" asks she as she don't look at her in the eyes. Lindsey closed her eyes and sigh before she looked at Nicole again.
"I said I didn't know of anything ..." answered she honest. Nicole's eyes wide and looked up to see Lindsey, who holds up her shoulders and smile a little bit.
Nicole smiles back and puts a hand on Lindsey's shoulder. "Thanks sis..." says she relief and thankful.
"No pro sis ..." says Lindsey back and give her a small hug.
"You know ... the day after the incident, the Guide show me something .." says Nicole as she let Lindsey go and she picks up the book out her bag. "And I think you don't believe what it said .." says she as she looked for the right page.
"What do you mean by that..." says Lindsey as she suddenly get the book to her face. She grabs it and starts to read it a little out loud.
"The guardian cannot tell anyone about her true identity ... AND HERE COMES THE BOOK WITH THIS AFTER WEEKS?! WE FOUND IT TOGETHER! I WAS THERE FROM THE BEGINNING!" calls Lindsey angry to the 1000 year old book. Nicole puts her right hand on her left shoulder to calm her down.
"Rellax...I didn't care about that...Ignore it, I can trust you and that we hold this a secret between you and me...but that isn't even the most important part what's on this page...Keep reading .."
"There are people who would loved to get to know the identity of a hero or heroine. The enemy of the ninja has teamed up with some allies, with the aim to verify the identity of the ninja…and perhaps soon also the one of the guardian ... Sooo? "
" Keep reading ... "
" One of the identity of these enemies are ... WTJ ?! No ... no ... it cannot be ... "says Lindsey shocked and looks at Nicole." Is this true? " says she unsure.
" I don't know ... I don't even know how this man looks like!" exclaims Nicole.
"Hannibal Mcfist?! A bad guy?! Don't believe it ... He is the most beloved man in town! How can he hate the ninja ?!" says Lindsey as she give the Guide back at Nicole.
" How should I know?!" says Nicole as she puts the Guide in her backpack.
" WHO HAS HERE A GUIDE?!" exclaimed Lindsey as she points to the backpack.
Both girls staring at the ground before Nicole starts to speak." Other subject ... mom told me...that the ninja saved me? "says she asking.
Lindsey nods." Yeah ... and he seemed rather ... deliver ... deliver quite as if he cares about you or something .. " says she thoughful.
Nicole smiles and looks at her." Sure .. . " says she unbelievable as she sqeezes her eyes a little bit.
" I MEAN IT!" shouted Lindsey.
" Alright, I believe you .. "says Nicole as she walks away from her and let her standing blank.
" You don't believe me, do you?" says she as she holds her arms akimo.
" Yes, yes that's right .. "she says laughing and makes Lindsey moaning from frustration behind Nicole's back.
"I HATE YOU!" exclaims Lindsey irritated.
"I LOVE YOU TOO!'' says Nicole smiling.
…..Meanwhile at McFist Industrie….
In the office of the big boss Hannibal Mcfist, are he, his scientist Viceroy in a meeting with the Socerer. and "Why fails every plan to get the ninja?!" yells angrily the Socerer to Mcfist and Viceroy. The whole office and the glass tube are shaking by his yelling. The two men looked a little scared before the shaking stops.
"Yes Viceroy! How can this happen?" Shouts Mcfist towards the man in the lavender labcoat. Viceroy puts a hand on his hips and looks Mcfist quizzically. "Excuse me, but mommy says to me that nobody is perfect .." says he sassy.
"Silence! This takes me way too long!" exclaims The Socerer, looked angry and irritated. Mcfist bends some backwards to Viceroy. "He's been locked up for 800 years ... and now it all suddenly takes way too long .." whispers he against Viceroy.
The socerer looked up and watching them with malice. "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"
Mcfist and Viceroy stiffen by this. "NOTHING!.." say they simultaneously.
"I will the ninja destroyed ... and his girlfriend too!" exclaims he angry before they catch the three men their attention.
The three men look at or behind them when they hear tinkle of glass. In the front of the broken office window, stands a mechanical built form of a human body, kneeling in front of them. The robotic unknown thing is going to stand on both "legs" and looks at the men face to face.
" Amazing ... Absolutly Amazing .." says Viceroy admiringly at the creation. The creation seems to be a robotic young man in early twenties, , he wears a large metal black hat (like the one as Zorro), black jack and underneath dark gray shirt, dark brown pants and black shoes.
"Is this the latest robot which you told me about?" says Mcfist questioning and curious at the thing.
"Actually ... It isn't from me ..." said Viceroy and looks Hannibal with a puzzled look.
"You mean you haven't made this ?!" exclaims he.
In response to this demand, the creation shoots a powerful fire beam at them, they shrink back. "Is this an answer to your question?" hear they above expectations, a human male voice.
"Do you think that taste of clothing is my choice? ... Uh ... The Cow Boy Zorro look is soooo last barbecue season ..." says Viceroy with his right hand on his hip while he takes his left hand until he was in a "talk to the hand" position and what moves his head back when he says "sooo".
"Silence!" exclaims The Socerer and both men turn to him. "Tell ... what are you?" asks he.
The creation step slightly forward and stand to the left of Viceroy. "Not a what ... but who ... I'm The Hunter ... My mistress has aroused me to life to hunt on the Guardian."
"Guardian!?" The three men say surprised. The Hunter opens his wrist screen and let the gentlemen see a holographic image of the guardian.
"Ah ... The guardian ... Let's just talk about it ..." says the Socerer with interesse and a evil grin on his face. The Hunter closes his wrist screen and the hologram disappears. "I listen .." says he a little curious about the man's intentions and laugh sly and evil.
….Chemistry Class...
"Wait wait wait...What was the reason you want to be a single mom?!" says Nicole surprised and asking for Lindsey questioningly while she shakes her baby pink bag gently back and forth like a fool. Both sitting on their desks with around them random and known classmates who are also chatting.
"Hey ... Mrs. W promised me an extra point if I cared for the baby doll as a singlemother .." says Lindsey proud as she looked at Nicole with closed eyes. Nicole cocked an eyebrown in question. "And that extra point you need…. is because ?" asks she.
Lindsey sighs deeply and beckons Nicole to come some closer to her. Questioning and curious she bends over Lindsey, who starts to whisper something in her ear. When she is finished, Nicole looks at her with a hand to her mouth. "No ... honkin ... way ..." says Nicole laughing an looked at her unbelievable.
"Yes ... this ... honkin ... way ..." says Lindsey as she crossed her arms at the same time.
Nicole's shoulders begin to shake and small giggle sounds escaping from her mouth. "How did Mark exactly get the rocket ..."
"I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!" said Lindsey angrily as she cuts Nicole off. Nicole keep laughing and laughing about the funny story.
"This is awesome .." says she as if the hilarious thing is that she has ever heard. She makes some gun noises before she literally falling on the floor of laughing.
Lindsey looks frustrated for herself and growls. " I shouldn't tell you..." says she as she face-palmed.
"Sorry Linds ... .but this is awesome ... piew piew ... ... ... hahahahhahaha." laughs Nicole under her desk, let the blond shaking her head.
Further away of them, sits Randy in the front of Howard and after Theresa. Theresa turns around and looks at him. "Uhm ... Randy ... I have after Chemstry, Twirl team practrice ... Would you like to apply Junior?" asks she slightly blushing.
Randy smiles and nods. "Sure! '" says he as Theresa hands him gently the doll. "" Come to Daddy ... "" Randy says and hears someone behind him grinning.
"" You start to bonding with it ... face it ..' "says Howard grinning.
Randy rolls his eyes and looks up when he hears mechanical footsteps walking outside the classroom, at the same time Nicole heard someone escape a cry of frustration outside, but it sounded more like a roar of chaos. Both stand and stabbing their hand. "Can I use the bathroom ?! 'calling them at the same time and look at each other quizzically. Mrs. Driscoll looks at Randy to Nicole and back.
"" Uhm ... both of you? .. only one of you can go ..'' says Mrs. Driscoll as she watched the boy and girl.
'' I was First!'' calls Randy.
''Ever heard of ladies first?' "says Nicole questioning as she raised an eyebrown.
"IT'S AN EMERGENCY!" shouted he.
"SAME STORY HERE!" shouted she back.
"If I don't go fast, things will happen ..." says Randy threatening as he points at her.
"And if I don't go fast, there happen other things that you ,as a boy, doesn't want to know ... '' says Nicole as threatening as she also points at him.
Some male students shaking their head in gross, to get this image out of there mind.
'' I STILL DON'T WANNA KNOW IT!''yells Randy by this shnasty though as he holds his hands on his head.
'' Seriously?! You guys hold a discussion about who may go first to the bathroom!? '"says Howard surprised.
''Please ... let them both go..For me and the whole class sake.. '"says Lindsey pleaded.
Mrs. Driscoll sees aslo a few other students nodding in agree with Lindsey. Mrs. Driscoll let out a sigh with closed eyes before she looked at the boy and girl. Go ...' "she says, and the two races at the same time out of the classroom.
"" Thanks ... "" say a few students before she continued with her lesson.
...Outside...
Outside of the school building, the ninja stands on the roof of the school and look at the surroundings. Everything seems to look peaceful, until he sees near the border. Between the swamp and Norrisville High, a robot-like figure walking around aimlessly." What's that dude doing? '" says he out loud. In his peripheral vision, he sees the guardian standing next to him.
"" I have no idea, but we try to figure out ... '"she says, determined and beckons him towards the swamp. The ninja look with a questionable sense of her before she gives him a little push. "" Hello? ... Hahah ... Shall we go? "She asks as she lets her belt wrapping around the tree that state in the front of them. The ninja gives a small nod before he let his scarf wrapping around the same tree and jump together of the roof.
At the edge of the swamp, state the Hunter to a halt. The sound of a computer call let the robot hand come up and opens a screen from his wrist. The picture is black, but the hearing is clear. ''Hunter ... What is your position? ...' "Asks the voice of Viceroy. "
" I'm close to the appointed place ... "" says he as he looked up to check the area.
"" I have you in my sights ... The ninja is close to you ... ""
"" Good ... "" says the Hunter with a sly smile.
The ninja and guardian view their unknown figure from a small reprimand. The guardian is at the right side of the ninja and wants to take action, but the ninja stops her and grabs her by her left arm. '' What!? '"whispers she.
" This is too easy ... let me just do this .. '"says the ninja confident and stands up. The guardian looks after him before she grabs him by his scarf and pulled him back towards her. ''Hey!... why are you doing that ?!'' exclaims he.
''I was wondering ... if…if I can beat this robot alone… " says she as she looked at him a little nervous and hopeful.
The ninja looks at her questioningly as she looking at him with hopeful pleading large bright blue eyes. The look of this pleading eyes gives him in a flash, a reminder of last week, when these same eyes looked at him weak, tired and anxious.
''Ninjaaa ! Heeelllppp !'' hears he her voice screaming for help.
The ninja violently shakes his head to get this memory out of his mind. " Sorry ... but I think that is ... .too dangerous. ... ""
The Guardian holds her right hand over her mouth and starts to giggle. "" Are you serious about that? ... Youre must be kidding me ... ""
"" No, I'm serious! We doing this together or I do this by my own ... ""
"" What ?! Why ?! ''
'' Because…I don't want you to be hurt... ''
'' Why do you even care?!''
The Hunter turns around when he hears two voices behind him, the way of talking seems to be a discussion. He walks and follows the sound of this confrontation until he sees the two quarrelsome. Surprised he looks at these two retreaded people and brings his wrist toward his mouth. "" I have the ninja and the guardian in sight ... .it's time for plan B ... ""
"Why I can't do this alone?! Why are you so worried about unnecessary!" says she a little angry.
"Because, I don't wanna get you in life danger again!" exclaims he.
"What do you mean with AGAIN ?!" says she asking and confused.
Both suddenly see four metal poles from the ground and emits an electrical charge. "IT'S A TRAP!" shouted the guardian shocked.
"Oh no ... this isn't good ..." said the ninja aloud. The four poles create a force field around them and shoot an electrically charged beam at their off. Both cry out in pain, until they go to the ground. The guardian is the first loss of consciousness, the ninja just saw a flying ship above their, before everything goes black for him too.
...Moments later...
Both slowly open their eyes after a while. Painfully, they get up and grab similar to main. When they do, they see that they are both handcuffed to a wrist. The guardian is the first who touches this handcuff and gets a shock of this. "Ouch! Cheese ..." she says and shakes her hand, some smoke vapor comes of her hand.
"We shouldn't touch that .." said the ninja and stands up. The guardian should follow his example and walks after him.
"Where are we?" asks she as they see that They're both trapped in a huge glass dome. Furthermore, their environment dark and mechanical sounds of machine and electricity is heard.
"You probably ask yourself why you are here .." hear they a male voice saying through a kind of intercom. They both look up and see a glass cubicle depend in the front of their. The guardian feels bite confused when she sees the man with the robot arm. "Hannibal Mcfist!" She says, surprised.
"Very good ninja! I, Hannibal Mcfist!" "Guardian" "What?" Says Mcfist and looks down to the ninja. "Guardian, she is called the guardian! She isn't a ninja," says the ninja offensive. "Oh sorry about that, but we know just her real name yet… .." hear them say a second male voice.
"Viceroy .." said the ninja grim.
"Viceroy! ... What is .." says Nicole, looking more confused. She turns around and pulls the ninja with her. "What is this place?" She yells. She turned back to the ninja half staggered to his feet. She points to Mcfist and Viceroy behind the glass in front of them. "Who are they ?!" And then she puts her arms toward the ground. "What's going on here!" She cries and let the ninja make a somersault to him on his back late countries.
Randy gets up and looks at her. "Okay, in order .." he says and gives the room with his arms. "This is Mcfist Industry ..." He points to the men and let her lean a bit. "Thats beloved man Hannibal Mcfist with the evil genius William Viceroy .." They both laugh satisfied with their performance. "And other for you ... dislocating my shoulder ..." he says as he rubbing his right shoulder. The guardian sees this and laughs with a nervous laugh. "We are destroying like parasites ..." said the ninja as he points to the bad allies with his hand.
The guardian hereby startled and looks at him disappointed. "So ... They are the allies of the Socerer?" asks she as The ninja nods.
"But they seem to me ..." says she as the ninja cut her off.
"A Shoob and a robot builder who think it's Christmas in October?" said the ninja as he points to the decorations around them. Christmas wreaths on a few doors, some Christmas garlands here and there ... a huge Christmas star above them.
The guardian looks surprised."Huh, I didn't see that coming ..."
''What one snow day could do with you...'' says the ninja as he shakes his head a little.
Above them, the two men hear the conversation between the ninja and guardian. Viceroy looks Mcfist to. "I told you we should hang the Halloween decoration"
"Shut up Viceroy! Now we have the ninja and his girlfriend ... We finally get that necklace from that ... ninja girl?" says Mcfist asking as he sees Viceroy shakes his head. "Guardian..sir .." answered he.
Both look up when they hear the sound of….baby crying? "What is .." they say, and look down. The ninja looks at the yellow backpack on his back where the sound comes from.
"Oh boy ... not now ... I have fed this thing half an hour ago .." he says, mumbling into the backpack. The Guardian looks at him quizzically, but soon also hear she a baby crying coming from her ice blue backpack. "No ... please ... Mommy's busy .." mumbled she, while she begin to sway the backpack gently."Go back to sleep .."
The Hunter looks questioningly at the two heroes that moving busy their backpacks back and forth. "Is that a ninja thing? '" He says as his wrist watch goes off. He covers his hand over the watch to damp the sound and walks carefully out of sight.
"" Do you have a plan? "asks the guardian busy swaying with her backpack. The ninja sighs deeply in and out. "" I'm thinking ... .I'm thinking ... ""
Under the howl, he looks around. The guardian looks with him and together they see a small opening in the dome. Both grinning broadly at each other.
"" Is that such a ninja thing? '"asks Mcfist. Viceroy listens attentively when he still hears some baby crying." "It sounds like a baby doll ... it looks like the ninja and his partner are busy with being a parent for a Health Class project ... "" "" Yikes ... that project ... '
Behind one of the machines in the room, is the Hunter hidden and looks with interest at the screen of his wrist. Long time no seeing Hunter ... Do you like youre temporary host body? Grinning, he starts ticking. Yes I do, I got the guardian ... but ... .she looks ... she looks different ...
…..Norrisville High….
In addition of the school are students chatting and relaxing. One of this students is Lindsey, with the baby doll in her arms. She picks up a small toy bottle of milk and put it into the mouth of the doll. "" Do you want your Milkie? ... Oh ... Oh does you? ... '"She says cheerfully and giggling. Howard walks just at that moment out of one of the doors of the school and looks at her when she makes fun with the doll. ''Pfff ... .and then she calls me and Cunningham ''a bunch of kids''...' "he says and walks toward her. 'Hey ... .Wester .. "
Lindsey looks at the doll when she sees Howard standing in the front of her. 'What's up Wienerman? ""
"" Have you seen Cunningham... or Valentine? ""
Lindsey shakes her head. "" No, I haven't seen them since Chemistery ... ""
Howard nods. Both silent pondering what could be happened with their best friends, but soon they shrug their shoulders as a sign that it will go well with their ... .He/She is after all the ninja / guardian ... right?
"" Why? Do you worry? .. '"She asks with a grin. Howard shakes his head violently. "" No ... Just wondering ... Other subject, you know it's just a doll right? ""
Lindsey looks at him quizzically and surprised. 'What's that suppost to mean? ""
"" Youre bonding with it, aren't you? ... ""
"" Whaaaat ... .Noooo ... I am sooo not bonding with this ... .thing ...' "she says nervously and grins.
Howard raised an eyebrow. 'Is…just ... .a ... .doll ... ""
"" Don't you have your own doll?''
''Valentine has the doll ... ""
"" That makes sense ... You're unresponsible! ..''
' "I am responsible! .. '
"" What do you mean you have soccer practice ?! You should pay attention to the doll! ""
Howard and Lindsey turns around, they see two students from their Health Class arguing with one of them the doll in her arms. "" Me? You should care of the doll ?! ''
'' I have to go the swim team! I cannot keep the doll with me .. ""
Howard grins with a sly look in his eyes, he turns to Lindsey and pointing with his hand to the couple. "'Let me show you. ..." Lindsey looks after Howard when he walks towards the couple.
The two students look silently at each other with an irritated look in their eyes. 'Hay, I heard youre confronsation and I think I may have a solution for your child care dilemma ...' "says Howard and sees the couple look at each other questioningly.
…..Mcfist Industries…
Gently roll the ninja one of his ninja balls to the hole. He and the guardian watch in silence how the ball explodes and makes a passage for them. ''Ladies First ...'"says the ninja as he makes a hand gesture to the passage. The guardian rolls smiling with her eyes. ''Let's get out of here quickly, before those shoobs get something in the gate ... "says she in hurry.
While the ninja and guardian both run from the glass dome, Viceroy shakes his head when he sees the painful face of Mcfist. 'And that's why I hate Health Class ..' 'says Mcfist as he finished his story. Viceroy nods in understanding.' 'Hm ..Thts the reason why you haven't started yet with children. "
"Have you noticed that the ninja and his girlfriend ... stopped talking ..'' says Mcfist thoughful as he hear nothing but silence under them. Both men look towards the glass dome…. and find it empty.
"THE NINJA AND HIS GIRLFRIEND ARE ESCAPED! HUNTER! GET THEM!" yells Mcfist over the intercom. Viceroy press the red button in the front of him and let a siren going off throughout the building. The eyes of the Hunter glow green and begins running. "I must keep the guardian alive ... and destroy the ninja ..." he repeats.
In the long hall of the large industrial building, the two partners ..excuse… temporary partners ... run to find an exit and shove off. "This part of the building don't look familiair to me..." said the ninja racing while looking around him. "Then you know as much as me .." said the guardian and suddenly stops running as she sees something familiar to her and also the ninja. "Youre ninja sword! ... maybe it can loosen the collars .." she says as she bends down to grab it.
The ninja is startled when he sees near the sword, a transparent line is spinning. "No, don't do it! It's probably a.." he says, but he see the guardian has already pulled the sword. Near the walls, appear small cannons that shooting a rain of small arrows towards the ninja and guardian. The ninja dive together with the guardian to the ground and avoid it. "Boobytrap..You know... This even surprise me that THIS is the work of the Hunter.'' says the ninja as a ''KNOW IT ALL!''.
The guardian shakes her head and stands up when she hears something coming approaching them. "Get up, someone's coming .." she says as she looks at the ninja and suddenly sees what the reason is that he cannot get up. The ninja looks at himself with a painful look (and with a unseeing painful sight) to his butt where one of the arrows is in it. "... I... can't ... move ..." he says and falls paralyzes flat on the ground.
The light of their's surface is in the shadow of the Hunter that gauges their hands over. "Anesthetic Darts, The effect is temporary .."
Racing, pulls the guardian the ninja forward with her, through the building while the Hunter their follow closely. The ninja looks embarrassed for himself while his face is occasionally hit by the ground. "Well on the bright side..She is stronger than she looks..."
…..Norrisville High…
A smiling Howard walks with two times five strollers from the school. Satisfied he walks along by two girls who looking at him quizzically and worried when they checking all those baby dolls and strollers out. The girls look at each other quizzically. "Shouldn't we ..." asks Theresa.
"I'm afraid so, come on Resa .." says Lindsey reluctantly and both walk after the boy. The girls are at one on each side of him. "Say hey Wienerman, Aren't you going a little too far with your," I'm responsible enough to fit a doll!" point?" says Lindsey questioning.
"Are you crazy ?! It's not even the main reason! This whole baby day care is a real gold mine! Even Bash payed me! ... And believe me ... His doll is my favorite .." answered Howard as Lindsey rolled with her eyes, while she actually slap herself in her face."That I haven't come with this though .." she whispers frustration, but let this thought quickly way to a surprised impression. 'Wait a sec ... How can you have a day care without a license?' '
' 'Wester please, nobody even cares about that ..' ' says Howard.
' 'What if Mrs.W comes after this?' "Asks Theresa.
" That will not really happen ... .Who's responsible?... Me! "" says Howard as he points to himself proud and wide smiling.
" He hanging a way too long with Randy .. '"says Lindsey while she holds her index finger at her head and taps on it. Theresa shrugs. "" Where is Randy anyway? ... And Nicole, I also haven't seen them for a while .. '' '
'Uhhmmm ... 'said Howard and Lindsey together and try to come with an original excuse.
''Cunningham is at home ... ""answered Howard.
"" Nicole is suffering from ... .you know .. the P-thing..' 'whispers Lindsey and sees Theresa nod that she get her clue.
"Me too ... "" answered the purple haired girl.
Lindsey nods. ''Why don't you try to call him? ... "" suggest she.
"" B-b-but I-I-I ... I-I don't have his number.'' says Theresa soft.
Lindsey grabs her cellphone and types something on it. She keeps her mobile in the front of Theresa, while Howard give her a surprised look. "" How do you get Cunningham's number? '" asks he as Theresa types the number over from Lindsey's mobile.
Lindsey shrugs. "" I don't know ... I have everyone's number ... Even those of Bash ... ""
""Hmmm...Interesting...Can I get his number? '' asks Howard as Lindsey looked him amazed.
'' Why would you want it? '' asks she as she's looking to find his number before she hold her mobile in the front of him.
'' Oh just ... .for in case.'' says Howard as he types Bash's number over. As he's done, he looked up and checked the baby in one of Lindsey's arms. ''Uhhhh...Did you put some lipstick and eye powder on your baby?'' says he confused.
Theresa looks also to Lindsey and the baby, who were bubblegum pink lipstick and blue gray eye powder on the face.
Lindsey hide the baby doll quickly in her bag. ''Noooo...''says she whispering.
Howard and Theresa look at each other with a quizzically look before they looking at her.
Lindsey groans in frustration before she give them a glance.''Yessss...'' admite she but sticked out her tongue in response she didn't care.
….Mcfist Industries...
''Are they still behind us? "Asks the ninja, still lying under the ground. The guardian turns quickly before she looks forward again. "" Yes ... and they've brought friends! "" answered she a little panic.
Behind their, run ten robot apes and the Hunter, the distance becomes smaller when the guardian hasn't almost no energy to run. "" I ... can't ... almost ... running ...anymore ... '"she says tired.
To their left, they approach a large open hall. She didn't hesitate and runs in this hall. When this corridor half away dead end, they come to a stop and they appear to be at the top of the building industry. Both look from the ledge down, which seems to be essentially infinite depth from the top to the main level. Left and right are they surrounds by robot apes, and in the middle of their the Hunter. "There is no way out .." says Hunter as he is his arm cannon loading.
The Guardian looks at their depth and with a serious look at it. "There is one way out .. " says the guardian if she steps closer to the edge.
"Wait! You do not understand..Don't I have..." says the ninja before he falls down with the guardian. The Hunter and robot apes looking after their fall. "Wow ... I didn't see that coming .." says Ali. "Hey, we'll go get a can of oil?" says another robot ape. Loud, happy and unintelligible talking robots walk the path ... except the Hunter that his sight sharper set and zooming out.
The ninja and guardian still fall until the guardian grap the end of her belt. She strap up and swings forward. The belt is going longer and grabs one of the factory tubes. With a pretty bow, they sway towards a ventilator shaft and both fall in it. The Hunter is floating near the shaft, and looks around him. "You cannot hide forever for me, I will find you .."
The ninja and guardian fall just out of the shaft, both lying flat on the ground and sighs. "Next time ... I want a softer landing .." said the guardian as stretches her back and then gets up with the ninja.
The ninja moves his arms up and down, as this works he starts to do this with his legs the same. Smiling under his mask he stands on his both feet. "I can move again ... Thanks for the save back ..." says he and let The guardian smile.
"No pro ninjaBro….But... How are we gonna lose these things?" She says as she points to the handcuffs that their connecting with each other. "And where are we?" She asks as she indicates the area by her hand.
"I think we are in the lab of Viceroy .." said the ninja as he looks all the science around them."How do you know?" asks the guardian as she follows him across the room. "The part evil genius?"
The guardian facepalmed. "Noticed .." she says, and sighs deeply. The ninja looks at her when he hears that sigh and with certain facial expression that goes, he sees that there is something wrong with her. "Whats wrong?" asked he.
The guardian shakes her head. "Nothing .." answered she soft as she looked down at the floor.
Now she didn't wear her mouth mask, The ninja can clearly see that there is something going on with the girl...but she don't wanna tell it. The ninja give her pitty look and lies his free hand on her shoulder to comfort her. Slowly, the guardian looked up and faced him. "When a woman says that, there is something going on.." hear she the ninja saying. She can see that he give her a small smile under his mask.
The Guardian escape a little smile as she sigh. He's good..."Then you know women very well .." says she smiling.
"Hey, I live with one.." says he a little laughing.
"Huh?" says she confused with a raised eyebrown, but sees his head shaking.
"Nothing ... tell me ...What's the thing what makes you so upset?" asks he as they walk slowly forward.
"Well...It's because...Because...I have a feeling that this whole Hunter thing is my fault ... If I hadn't hit the chicken robot with the Heart of Aigle..Then this wasn't happened .."tells she with a sad face. She looked a little surprised as she sees the ninja shakes his head.
"I don't think the Heart of Aigle has something to do with this... "said the ninja as his hand reaches for a piece of metal lying on a random table. "This looks like the situation when Ther..I mean, that girl I don't know was stanked .." said the ninja quickly when the guardian give him a quizzical look. Luckily for him, she cannot see that he has a nervous expression. The ninja strikes with the piece of metal on the handcuffs while the guardian thinks. "" If that is true ... then ... then ... .then The Hunter is the work of The Shadow Witch! "" calls the guardian.
The lump of metal broke into the hands of the ninja, he let it drop and both hear a buzz coming from the handcuffs. From the two wrist cuffs, a ray is shooting out and form an image. On the scherm is the Hunter to see with a grinning look. 'Greetings little heroes ... you chase and hunt like animals is a lot of fun ... but also tiring ... so I want to make a deal with you... you give yourself over and I don't this backpacks ... right here ..' "says the Hunter and show both backpacks where baby crying comes out. Both heroes gasp. "" We have to go back! "" called they and look at each other quizzically.
'''Though I have no idea why that doll is so important ... "" he says and grins nervously.
...Howard's house...
Howard is just walking on the driveway of his house where the garage door is open, he walks into the garage with the strollers where it is filled with boxes full of some material. 'Howie ... Howie is that you?' calls a male voice from the other side. "" Yes dad! What's up? "" answered Howard.
"" Your mom needs some help! Can you go? ""exclaimed Mort.
Howard sigh. ''Fine!'' exclaimed he back. Reluctantly he walks into the house and leave the strollers unattended.
On the driveway, a truck driving slowly back towards the garage. Mort comes out the house, to the side of the truck and walked up to see two robot apes come from the mounted platform. "" We will collect the materials for .. '"says the first robot ape. "
" Ah! Thats Great! The boxes standing in the garage ... Need some help? "asks Mort.
''No thanks, we can handle it ..' "says the second, and both pack a box on. Mort nods and walks satisfied the house in, he hadn't seen that one of the robot apes, impulse the strollers and slowly began to move….in the direction of the truck.
After 10 minutes, the truck starts and drives of the driveway. At that same moment comes Howard the garage in, caught up with toys milk bottles and diapers. 'Okay ... time to clean and fed ...' "he says with his hands full and looks slightly slanted for himself to see the strollers. In fright, he let the stuff fall out of his hands when he sees that the strollers ... .be disappeared. 'What ..the Juice?! My babies! Where are my babies! '"He calls reports and lets himself fall to his knees with a disappointed look.
Behind his back, his father past him by. Mort walks quickly back when he sees Howard sitting on his knees and surrounded with toys milk bottles and diapers. Satisfied looks he around and nods towards the experience of space garage. "" Ah ... That looks like the good old days ... Now the boxes are picked up and brought to Mcfist Industry…Can we finally put the car back in the garage... ""
Howard begins slowly something to realize and turns quickly around. "" Did you just say that there were boxes brought to Mcfist Industries?!''
Mort nods. 'Yes ... but why ..'
Howard runs with no answer to the garage on the way to Mcfist Industries. His father looks after him and holds a hand to his mouth. ''Okay ...but be home at dinner!'' shouted he after him.
….Mcfist Industries ...
The truck was driven through the gate of Mcfist Industry. In the building, the car comes to a stop and the doors opened. The boxes are loading out by a pair of robot apes and put them down near a machine, where the material is destroyed, melted and fixed. The next to the machine, is the Hunter waiting along with a group of robot apes and above their in a cabin Mcfist and Viceroy. Impatient tap the Hunter with his foot on the ground, in this position, they are standing a few minutes after the message. ''They should be here minutes ago... Where are those two?... "
Hidden behind a large keypad, watch the ninja and guardian, the enemy from a distance. "" Do you remember what the plan is? "asks the ninja and sees the guardian looking with a determined look in her eyes. ''Lets get this battle started ... " answered she.
Grinning, they nod at each other before the ninja throws a smoke bomb. The red smoke flares further into space and let the Hunter and robot apes cough. ''Man ... that smells so shnasty ... What is this?' "Says the Hunter aloud. When the smoke clears, the ninja and guardian stand near the enemy and run to their backpacks while the enemy is still distracted.
The Hunter is the first one who notice the two and shoot a fireball off to them. The ninja and guardian just grab their backpacks in time and dive down so as to avoid the fireball. When a rain of fire coming at them, the ninja nods to the guardian. "'Go High!" "The ninja makes his scarf to a factory coiled tubing while the guardian does this with her belt. Both are pulled up and dodging the rain of fire. If they hang up, they hang near the cabin where they see Mcfist and Viceroy. With a grin, they waving to them what makes Mcfist furious.
'Shoot them DOWN !' he shouts that the ground vibrate under him. If the robot apes standing in a certain position, the guardian get the idea. "'Go Low ...'" she says, nodding to the robots. The ninja nods grinning when he sees what she meant. Both synchronous swaying forward and backward. If they have enough momentum, they swing down towards the enemy.
'It's going down! "" calls a robot ape and points to them as they approach them. The ninja and guardian both pushing with their feet the robot apes, knocked them like a bunch of bowling pins.
"'I'm yelling Boom Ball!' calls the ninja and throws a ball to the tree toppled robots. In a blast of fire, the pieces of robot flying around.
'You better move!' "exclaims the guardian. Both land safely on the ground and give each other a high five.
'You better land! Ha, I think we finally get this team work thing done .. '"says the ninja satisfied. In all enthousaistme, they will be seized by the hand buoy and held up in the air. The two pairs of blue eyes looking straight into those of the Hunter, which does not look too happy. "" Now I'm sick of both of you!'' exclaims he.
…..Above Them...
"" Yeah! Destory them !" yells Mcfist.
The Hunter turns around when he hears Mcfist saying that. ''The deal was that the ninja will destroyed ... but the guardian is my..and she stays alive .. ""
The ninja moans. 'Seriously ... I should be killed and she stay alive? ... Thats so wonk! " says he unfair.
"" I still want to know what those things are in the back packs ...' 'said the Hunter when he hold them up with his other hand. 'It's not the bag, but what is in it ..' "says the Guardian.
"And let me say this dude ... .your a horrible mother ... "" says the ninja.
When the men anxiously awaited what the Hunter is going to do, they hear a rinning of a phone. 'Ahhhh ! NOT NOW ! 'screams Mcfist angry and press a black button for him. 'What ?!' '
' ' ... There is a boy who says ...' ' says a female robot voice.
' 'WHERE ARE MY BABIES?! ""says a boy voice that sounds through space.
The ninja and guardian watching interrogative as they recognize the voice of the boy. 'Howard!?' "they said surprised.
''Babies ... we have not babies ... "" says Viceroy minded.
'' They are taken together with the boxes of material... from Mort Wienerman!" yells the boy.
"'Let the guy in ..."says Mcfist finally.
The ninja looks at the guardian. 'Do something ..' ' whispers he.
' 'Noticed ..' 'says she as she takes with her free hand the Heart from her cole scarf. Smiling slyly, she looks at the back of the Hunter. The medallion hums and buzzes faster.
''Guardian Heart Ray!'"she calls and shoot the ray towards him. The Hunter leaves the handcuff off and fall against the machine. A huge clap sounds and a cream cloud is released.
''Nice shot ..' "says surprises the ninja.
"Thanks ...''says the guardian with a wide smile on her face.
There is a bang sound and the mechanical body of the Hunter, pops apart. The hat flies up and pieces of metal flying their direction, and also rolling a metal shaped key towards them. The ninja stoops and picks it up. He holds the key above the handcuffed and with one click, attack the handcuffs on their wrists off. Satisfied they rubbing their wrists and smiling.
''Lets get out of this piece of dump ..' 'says the guardian.
' 'Let me handle this ... .Le Smoke Bomb ... "" says he and disappears along with the guardian in the smoke.
'No ... No ... No ... I hate them ... BOTH!' " shouts Mcfist and looks along with Viceroy when the hat of the Hunter lands at the handle and the weight of this thing, it switches the speed from normal to super fast. The machine starts spinning while the orange haired boy walk quickly into the cabine.
''So ... where are .." says Howard as he walked into the room. Mcfist and Viceroy shocked watching the speeded up beaten machine. Howard gapsed when he sees the machine slowly raids a row of strollers and falls down into it., Howard falls on his knees as he looking at the ceiling. With his hands in his hair, he yells."" NOOOOO! '''
His scream echoing throughout the entire building, on the roof of Mcfist Industry, are the ninja and guardian. They look at each other when they hear the scream and shrug their shoulders. The Guardian looks doubtful at the baby doll in her arms. The doll has some black spots on the face, but is also still intact. "At least it stops crying .." said the guardian with a chil voice. "How's your one?"
"The same ... I hope Theresa not kill me .."said the ninja the last part inaudible.
The Guardian looks at him and gives him a small smile. "Thank you for what you saided to me ... I thought that being a temporary partner was super cool ... but I didn't know that it was so heavy and hard to be one .."
"Hey ... I was just as you in the beginning, it's normal ... I can handle it now..and you soon too. "says he friendly.
"I hope so ... Now I wanna get as far as possible away from this place ... I want to go home .." says she as she shows their area with her hands in the air.
"If you insist .." said the ninja and picks out his torso a little ice blue ball. When he sees that the guardian stares into the distance, he throws the ball to her on the ground. Out the ball come a small white cloud and going towards her face.
When she inhale this cloud, she grabs her head and begins to waver on her legs. "I feel so ... sleepy .." she says and closes her eyes. The ninja grabs her before she falls and smiles. "Ninja sleep ball ... Still useful .." he says as he picks up the guardian bride-style. "Now we gonna do it in my way .." he says, and jumps off the roof. In the distance, he jumps from building to building until it stops and sprint the last part unseen.
(...)
The ninja stops and looks from the roof into an almond-colored house with sapphire blue roof tiles. "Home sweet home .." he says and sees that there is a window open. Smiling grabs his scarf, wrapping it on a branch of chestnut tree. "Ninja bedroom pendulum." he says and swings from the roof down and back up towards the open window.
At the highest point let the scarf off the tree and jumps the ninja in the bedroom with the guardian in his arms. "Awesome .." he says as he looks at the room. "This seems to me that this is your room, Nikki .." he whispers when he sees what typical teenage stuff girls like make-up, magazines and other stuff.
The ninja lies the guardian carefully on the bed. "Okay ... How do you turn back into Nicole Valentine?" He says quizzically as he looks searchingly. The cole scarf shows a little blue light before it grows bigger, the ninja covered his eyes and sees the guardian turns slowly back into Nicole Valentine. ''Ah ... so that's how she doing it ...' "he says and laughs.
""Now I have to get out of here before she... "" he says as he walks to the window and stops when he sees some picture frames on her desk. He cannot resist and walking up to them and watch. What strikes on him, is that one of the lists ...has a little candle standing in the front of it. ''Oh man…''says he as he picks the list up. On the frame is Nicole seeing with two male figures, she wears her hair in a ponytail and an red white uniform with a dog logo with A.H letters on it. Around her neck is a medaillon placed and in her right hand she holds a hockey stick. The oldest man has his hand lying on her left shoulder, the young man has his hand lying on Nicole's right shoulder and give the thumps up. Randy can read of the males faces that there are proud of her. ''No way...Nikki plays hockey?!...I never saw that coming...I wonder who those men are...Maybe they are her borther and father...but why is there a candle standing in the front of this happy family pic?''
Randy hears and sees Nicole yawning. Hurriedly, he looks around and set the list back to his place. In a quick response, he hides behind the purple bean that stands in her room and puts his mask off while Nicole opens her eyes and rubs it.
"What ... Who's there?" She says, while red circles of Norisu Nine symbols fade away in the corner of her eye. She goes to sit on her knees at the edge of her bed and looks expectantly at her bean.
"Uhm .." she heard a boy's voice say, and looks surprised when she sees Randy. "The door was open and I ... I was wondering if everything was okay ... and you still had my jacket ..." says Randy pensive and smiling. You're soo smart Cunningham.
Nicole gives him a little smile and nods, but looked still amazed at him. "Sure ... I'll get it for you .." she says as she stands up from her bed and walks to her warerobe. As she opens the warerobe to loom for Randy's jacket, Randy walks towards her desk. "Got it .." she says as she holds the dark green jacket in her hands. She sees that Randy look to the picture frames on her desk.
She walks to him and stands beside him. Smiling, she looks and grabs the middle light blue frame. In the photo is Nicole seeing in the middle with two boys to her left and two girls to her right. The brown-haired boy shows his both arms resting on the shoulders of the dark blond boy and Nicole. The brownie-haired girl has her arms wrapped around both of the arms of the hazelnut-haired girl and Nicole. "These four shoobs are the best friends I could ever ask for ... We were a really good team..and friends."
"Do Linds knows that you have more ''best'' friends?" asks Randy and sees Nicole laugh.
"She knows them. When she was staying with me in Angeles Hills, we hanging also out with them. They know that Lindsey is very important to me ... She and I complement each other perfectly... just like you and Howard ..."
Randy smiles and looks at the other photos. In a pink frame is a photograph of Nicole and Lindsey with "Best Friends" on it. In an emerald green frame sits a picture with Nicole and the two girls from Angeles, in a black frame is a picture with Nicole, the man and an older boy. Randy asked her nothing about the candle in the front of this pic or something of the man and boy on it. Nicole can see Randy is staring at this frame and picks it up.
''You're asking yourself ''Why the juice has she a candle placed by this pic?!'' don't you?'' asks she as see she Randy looking at her surprise.
''Uhmm...Yeah...?'' asked he soft. '
Nicole shakes her head and cocked an eyebrown. ''Well...It stands there for a reason...but...I-I don't wanna talk about it...Not yet...Okay?''
Randy sees some worry in her eyes as she looks at the older man, he knows there is something and it's something personal Nicole don't wanna talk about...maybe with Lindsey, but not with him...yet.
''You're playing hockey?'' asked he her to change the subject as Nicole lies the frame back at his place. She nods and smiles proud. ''Yeah...I was one of the first girls who started playing it in Middle School...It was hard, rude...but sooo amazing...Much people don't think that girls can play hockey, but then you don't know me and my girls...''
'''Oh my ninja, THAT'S BRUCE!'' exclaims Randy out of nowhere.
Nicole smiles wide. ''Yeah...But since Norrisville High hasn't a hockey team, I don't play anymore.''
Randy nod in response as he also checks the rest of her photo frames. In a dark blue frame is Nicole sitting with the two boys and a red frame is a picture of Nicole and only the brown-haired boy. Randy grabs it and shows him to Nicole. He sees the corners of Nicole's mouth raising and grabs the list of him. "Simon .." she says with a smile.
Randy looks at her uncomfortably. "Uhm ... Who is Simon?" asked he curious.
Nicole laughs at his question. "Sorry ... Simon is just the greatest guy I ever met... he is my BB.."
"BB, is he your...uhh...bold boyfriend?" asks Randy curious. Nicole looks at him questioningly. "Why do you want to know that?"
Randy looks at her in horror and see her burst into laughter. "Oh man! Your face! Priceless! Hahahah ... Hahhaha..Huh…But seriously ... No way, He is not my boyfriend ..." says as she smiles sly at him as Randy looks at her expectantly.
"Simon is my Best Bro..." explains she as she put the photo frame back to her desk.
"You miss him, don't you?" asks he as she still stare at the photo and see her nodded.
"Yes...and also the others ... I'm sorry that I occasionally do or say things to you, like we're best friends for years ... but you remind me so much of Siem..and after..." she says, and begins to shut suddenly...If she can't find other words to tell him what she wanna tell him.
Randy lies his left hand on her right shoulder to comfort her. "Hey, it's okay ... It's one of the things that makes you so bruce..You're a type of girl that can and wants to be just friends...And I'm glad to say that she's my Sis.''
Nicole looks at him with a cocked eyebrown. "'I'm your Sis?" asks she unsure.
"Yeah ... I-I-I mean i-if you d-don't w-want..." stuttered Randy nervous before he hear Nicole laughing.
"Ofcourse I will! It's cool Bro!" she says, smiling.
Randy smiles back and holding a fist in the front of her. Grinning she give it a look before she thrust her fist against his.
"I think I'll go home, my mom is probably worried ... Thanks anyway." He says as he holds his hoodie for him.
"Thanks again, you're saved my cheese .." she says and they both laugh. "Hey..before you go ... I wanted to know something .." says she as she looks for something.
Randy looks at her questioningly and she suddenly sees that the baby doll in front of her with some black soot stains on it. "Do you think Howard will be mad?" asks she nervous.
Randy raised an eyebrown and looked thoughful at the doll. ''Uuuhmmmm...He will probably say that you aren't more responsible for the doll as he...''
Nicole moans and throw the doll on her bed. ''I'm toast..''
….The next Day...
"CUNNINGHAM! FOWLER! VALENTINE! Cunningham!" cries the voice of Mrs. Wickwhacker, which sounds also outside the school. In class she is standing with the two baby dolls in her hands who both have black spots all over the face. "You're dolls are a disgraced! ... But seeing it's not a part of a candle..I giving you guys a B -..." she says as the whole class is seeing with a leftover wax for them.
Randy and Theresa smiling broadly at each other while Nicole doing a little and quick happy dance. "Wester .." begins Mrs. Wickwhacker again when she looks at Lindsey. "For showing parents skills and ... suck a good taste of make-up .."
Lindsey grins nervously.
"I beworder you a .. A." tells she and let Lindsey steps happy with her feet on the ground and hugs the pop dearly.
"AND FOR YOU, MISTER DAYCARE! .." yells Mrs. Wickwhacker threateningly against Howard that begins to swallow.
...Moments later...
For the school is a group of students waiting in the line, at the beginning of this row is Howard with a stack of money in his hands. He gives every boy-girl couple one by one with pain and difficulty a note bands stack. Some moments later, If everbody has his money back and Howard stays there with empty hands, he takes a deep breath and sits down on a bare steps. Two pairs of legs come to him standing on each side of him and bags down. At Howard's left side is Randy and on the right Nicole. Both lay a hand on his shoulder.
"It was the best thing you could do buddy .." said Randy encouraging. "And look it on the bright side ... You still got a B - .." says Nicole laughing and sees Randy nod.
"That's the spirit ... Come…Shall we celebrate our B- at the Game Hole and we, thank cheese, still are a kid?" says he to cheer him up. Howard gets up and looks at his best friend. "Oh yeah!" exclaims he.
"Do you wanna come with us Nikki?" asks Randy and sees that she shakes her head.
"No, you guys go ahead ... I need to help Mrs. Wickwhacker with Lindsey to give the baby doll back .." says she as she points to the front door of the school from behind.
"IS JUST A DOLL!" the boys say in unison and stand on.
"Maybe another time?" asks Nicole and sees both boys nod in agree.
"Cool .." says Randy and holds his clenches fist for Nicole. Howard looks at him quizzically before he looks at Nicole and also ... clenched a fist to her. The girl smiles and punch with both her fists to the boys before theyrunning away from her and leave the school.
…..Present...
"And that's why I now understand the nomicon .." finished Randy his story and looked satisfied at Howard.
Howard nodded in understanding. "Uhu ... I get it ... but ... one more thing ... what Fowler had to do with it ?!" asks Howard a little curious.
"Well ..." said Randy with a hard face.
... A week ago ... 15 minutes before Health Class...
Theresa walks quietly down the hall, with a smile on her mouth and spinning baton in her right hand ... everything seems normal. "I wonder what Randy wanted to tell me ..." she says as she in the main hall to the stairs. Randy comes slowly down the stairs with his backpack near his chest. "Heyyyyy Theresa" says he as normal as possible.
Theresa turns around and steps some back when Randy stands so close to her. "Hey Randy! ... Are you ready for Health Class?"
Randy nods. "Yeah ... Health Class ... about that .."
"Randy ... why do you hold your backpack so close to you? ... And where is junior?" Says Theresa with a questioning look in her eyes and gave facial expression.
"Yeah ... Junior ... Junior is ..."
"Junior is ... what?"
Randy sighs deeply. Theresa is looking at him, she see that he wants to say something, but cannot articulate. "Say it ..." says she.
"Uh ... okay ..." said Randy as he cautiously opened his backpack.
Theresa scares and let her baton falling to the ground. "Randy ... what ... what happened?" She asks as she sees the baby doll spots. Randy scratches behind the back of his head and looks at her guilty. "It's my fault ... I wasn't looking well and then ... well ... that ... I'm sorry ... Later in the class… I will telling Mrs. Wickwhacker that this is my fault and you haven't nothing to do with this ... I would that you get a bad grade thanks to me…"
Theresa looks up the doll and gives him a smile. "Randy ... I ... That's ... very sweet of you .." says Theresa surprised and looks at him shyly.
Randy gets embarrassed shrug. "What shall I say? I care about my family ..."
...Present...
Howard chuckles. "Smooth ..." he says while trying to stay serious.
"Shut up ..."says Randy will he rolled his eyes.
..In the underground study room...
Satisfied caresses the Shadow Witch the crystal ball and looks up when a black fabric flares and a person appears before her. Grinning, she looks with her dark purple eyes to some dark green eyes. "" You've done very good work Hunter ... "" "
" It's been too long since we saw each other for the last, my queen ... " says he as he bowns in the front of her. The Shadow Witch smiles at this name and blows black dust at him.
The Hunter grins, his eyes begin to get a neon purple glow, before they change back to his normal dark green color. "" I have discovered something ... I think Kaida don't remember who I am ... and maybe who you are ... '' '' Then I think it's a good time we invite her to a small reuine ... and I have a plan….and you… my amazing Hunter ... gonna help me ... "
In the shadow changes the Hunter into something unknown. The Shadow Witch looks at him and smiled when she sees his form. "" The ninja is constant around her ... what we gonna do with him? ""
"" Don't worry, this is exclusive to our Kaida .. '
DONE! So…Did you notice something?...Yeah?...No?...Shall I tell it?...
This chapter was...a parody of...The episode Life Lessons from Danny Phantom! Well Yeah!
My first parody...and believe me...it isn't my last!
The reason why I use Mrs. Wickwhacker as the Health Teacher instate of Mrs. Driscoll (I saw the episod my Bologna after I wrote this), is because she reminds me of the Gym/Health Teacher from Danny Phantom...so thats why...
And a little bit Fowlham! Some fans in the house?
