Chapter 4: I Thought We Were Going Back In Time
"Okay, Howard. Here's what we're going to do," Randy says explaining the instructions, "we are going to go back to when I put the mask in the fire, and retrieve the mask. Then we come back to this era, and stop the Sorcerer from creating too much chaos, and break free."
"Sounds simple. Sweet, just how I like things," Howard replies.
The two hop into the McTimeTravel, and set in the right year. They wait, for a minute or so, and they come out of the McTimeTravel machine, with Randy gasping for fresh air.
"What the juice, Howard? I can't believe you went to the bathroom in the McTimeTravel! AGAIN! And this time, you KNEW it wasn't really a porta-potty!" Randy says angrily. "Okay. Now if we can just…" he trails off when he realizes it isn't the 13th century. "Uh, Howard, you did punch in the right numbers, right?"
"Yeah, I know I did. But do you know what year it is now?" Howard asks.
"No, but if we can just find some newspapers, or a computer or something-" Randy gets cut off when a futuristic car is thrown at them. "What the juice? Who threw that?"
"Uh, Cunningham, I think you mean what," Howard replies.
"Oh boy! And I don't even have the mask! Wait, if we're in the future, we just need to find the current Ninja! Well, if there was a successor after me…" Randy trails off.
"Maybe we should find our older selves," Howard says in a sarcastic tone.
"Howard! Your a genius! We need to find us!" Randy exclaims.
"Just so you know, I was joking,"
They search all over town asking the few left people if they know where a Randy Cunningham and a Howard Wienerman live. They find out where they live, and go to them. Randy goes to himself, and Howard goes to himself, so they can go to future Randy.
-a few minutes later-
"Wait. So you're saying you're trying to find the Ninja!? Ha! Good luck with that!" future Randy tells them.
"Yeah, I'm going to give you us, I guess, a hint. You never get it back...We both remember this, that's why I was already at Randy's house…" future Howard whispers to the two teens.
"Wait, so the Sorcerer is free, and there's no way to stop him!? Ugh! Great, just great!" teen Randy says.
"We never said there wasn't a way to stop him," future Randy says with a smile.
