Chapter 3: Lasers and Lightning. What the juice?
Previously, the ninja became the Fire Dragon Guardian and what's next? Just read on...
The next day...
After the first few periods in school, "Gee, Cunningham, I heard our next class is physics!"
"Yeah and we will be doing the electrical circuits as our practical! That will be so bruce! Because it's our first practical lesson. Don't you think Howard?"
"Oh yeah! You get to play around the stuff!"
"Speaking of which, Howard, do you wanna play with fire?"
"No thanks Cunningham! But..." he then pointed at Bucky and gave Randy the thumbs-up. Smirking and snickering in agreement, Randy snapped his fingers igniting a small fire on his finger and carefully, he walked towards Bucky who is sitting with Flute girl(Why is it that the producers don't give her a real name? That's kinda stupid if you ask me), Stevens, Pradeep and Rachel who are his bandmates in the Norrisville High Marching Band. As soon as he's near, Randy put the small fire on Bucky's pants and zipped back to where Howard was. "This is going to end hilariously." said Howard as he tried not to laugh hard.
At the table, Bucky and his friends are chatting when, "Hey, do you smell something?" asked Flute Girl.
"Yeah, smells like smoke but where's it coming from?" stated Rachel.
That's when Pradeep sniffed a bit and saw Bucky's pants on fire. "Is it just me or is your pants on fire?" he asked.
"What are you talking about?" Bucky asked back as he looked to his pants and somehow, "AAAAAHHHHHHH!" He ran around the cafeteria screaming, shrieking and hollering hysterically making the entire school roar with laughter. It got worse when Bucky put it out. "Oh, that's better. Zing!" Not for long...
"HEY! You're sitting on my pot full of cream of chicken!" The lunch lady shouted. To top it off, it's still being cooked. Now that she said it, Bucky looked around and was so horrified at what he did that he ran around in pain and finally threw himself out of the window breaking his body. The whole laughed so hard that some of them are shedding tears of laughter even Randy and Howard.
"One single strip of fire."
"Twice the pain and humour!" They then continued laughing all the way to class.
At McFist Industries...
"VICEROY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"
"Making a robot Hannibal."
"WHAT KIND OF ROBOT?"
"Well, the Sorcerer gave me some ideas for it and besides, he'll do the ninja business while we do his work."
"Well I know that because I sent the excavation team to the mountains to find what the Sorcerer needs and what does the robot do?"
"Easy, it can manipulate light energy, fires laser beams, make holographic images and teleports at any location at it's own choosing."
"So it is designed to be a photokinetic eh? BUT HOW IS IT GONNA DEFEAT THE NINJA NOW THAT HE"S A PYROKINETIC?"
"Well you shall see for yourself as I send this new toy by package."
Back at school...
Randy and Howard went to work on the experiment. "This is kinda challenging. Don't you think?"
"Oh come on! It's a piece of cake if the wires don't get tangled up on my hands but still, rest assure Cunningham." Howard then tried to unravel them but, "Harder than it looks."
"Oh, come on! It's never takes that long." But it got worse when the wires are tied up on Howard's hands. "Looks like I have to do all this myself." sighed Randy as he set to work.
Meanwhile...
Drinking a cup of coffee, Principal Slimovitz was lazily around by reading a newspaper and at the same time, gaming on his comptuer. "I can't believe Ninjatana Warrior just levelled up! How can I catch up in no time?"(To make things worse, you all remember in the previous chapter that I wrote his misery over his car right? LOL) He complained as he peeped at the article which has the picture of Green Lantern capturing Goldface, Gentleman Ghost and Sonar with his power ring. After that, he plans to go for a walk but as he exit his office, "Oof!" He tripped over a package. "A delivery? Well it's my lucky day." He said as if he's been cheered up so he opened the package and "KA-CHING!" Out popped the robot and it fired barrages of laser all over the place. One of them even hit his car creating a massive explosion. "Not again! I spent billions to fix it after what happened in the previous chapter! Oh, why?" (Don't care. LOL!) Plus, he hit the alarm.
Back at class...
"Alright Howard, I've set up circuit as you instructed and now all we need to do is untangle the wires off your hands. Right?" All of a sudden, "Attention students!" Evacuation is authorized for the school is being attacked by a photokinetic robot that's cutting the school down!" the announcement was made. "What the juice?" Randy exclaimed as he got trampled and crushed by the students evacuating the place. Standing up, "Well Howard, That will have to wait because I'm gonna bring in some firepower!" declared Randy as he took out his ninja mask, put it on and a flaming aura surround his body, transforming him into..."Yeah, yeah we all know in the last chapter." Howard interrupted as Randy disappeared within the fire. "Now can somebody untangle the wires off my hands!?" Howard demanded as he made it worse.
Meanwhile, the robot is shooting lots of laser in the hallway when, "Smokebomb!" The Fire Dragon Guardian made his appearance! "I'll just melt the metal out of you. Inferno Blaze!" The guardian fired waves of fire from his katana but, "EOW!"(That's the sound of the robot teleporting), "What the juice! Where did it go?" That's when, "EOW! POW!" Knocked from behind! Looking up, "Teleportation huh, Okay, Photokinetic, let's see if you can avoid my Flame Halo!" Unleashing a tornado of fire around his body, the guardian surged forward but the robot keeps teleporting while he chases him only when it teleported behind him, "Gotcha! Pyro Punch!" But..."SHEW! SHEW SHEW!"(that's the sound of the robot duplicating himself into holographic clones) "No way! What the juice?(my favourite catchphrase if you ask me.) Which is the real robot?", "Duh ninja, it's the one without a shadow!" Howard called out as he emerged from the classroom with the electrical wires still tangled on his hands. "Just gimme a second." Randy called out as he tried something foolish. "E-nee, Me-nee, Miney-VEEOW!" A laser beam hit the guardian square and he was blasted off to...
Before we continue, we hit the McFist Industry first. Ok?
"Haha! All the teleporting the robot's doing is wearing the ninja down."
"Moreover, he's wasting his firepower and tiring himself slow and steady as the battle rages on."
"While waiting Viceroy, let's get some doughnuts."
"Why not? Besides by the time we got back, the ninja is defeated fair and square big time."
Ok, back to school...
Somehow, Smith is still in his metalshop drinking coffee and working on the tools when, "CRASH!", "What is the meaning of this?"
"Sorry Mr Smith but I-" he stopped to dodge another laser beam as the robot and his holographic images advanced towards him. "Outnumbered I presume?"
"Yeah, just let me focus on finding the real one please." he begged as he dodged more laser beams. "Oh for Pete's sake, ninja! I told you it's the one with the shadow. Duh!" Howard called out as he appeared from where the guardian crashed through. "Hey buddy, can you stop calling me ninja because I'm a guardian now and thanks for the info." The guardian called out as he fired a fireball on the real robot damaging it. "Finally!" No, it's not the guardian. It's Howard because he finally untangled the wires off his hands but as the battle rages on, the robot tried to kick him but unintentionally, "Howard. Watch out!" Too late as Howard looked up and "KICK!" he crashed onto an electric circuit breaker and was zapped big time but also, when the robot unintentionally kicked him, he gripped it's foot to resist it. Moreover, the robot is being electrocuted. "This does not look good." Randy exclaimed. Smith even shook his head.
"ZAP!"(that sounds like it came from the place where the swords are being crafted. Right?)
"What the juice? Howard, how come you're able to resist the electricity even though you're being shocked real hard?"
"I don't know. Why did you ask me?"
"Also, what is that sound I just heard?" Smith wondered until an electrical current flowed through a circuit and in front of everyone, it reshaped itself into a...
"No way,another katana!"
"It turns out your friend is being chosen by the weapon itself!"
"And how did you know even though you're blind?"
"I might be blind but I can barely sense my surroundings."
As for Howard, "Well if you say the weapon chose me, well here goes nothing." Howard grabbed the katana and a lightning bolt struck him from the sky. In an instant zap, "Now that's the cheese Howard." Howard looked around himself complaining. "Seriously, yellow is not my favourite colour but still, it suits my element because I have electrokinesis." he added without a problem as the robot stood up and fired more laser beams. "Let's do this buddy." said Randy. "No problem, the Lightning Dragon Guardian is ready to serve." replied Howard. Then the duo engaged.
First, the robot duplicated into it's holographic clones and fired laser beams together. "Howard, make your move!" Randy called out. "No problem. Thunder Punch!" Howard unleashed electrical power on his fist and punched the real robot directly for he already knew which is the real one. "Score one for the Lightning Dragon Guardian!" Randy called out as he used his Pyro Punch on the robot again. "And score 2 for the Fire Dragon Guardian." Howard called out as he used another move. "Electrocution!" He fired an electric blast from his hand hitting the robot square. but the robot isn't done and starts teleporting all over the place to confuse them and at the same time, shoot more laser beams each time he teleports. The duo tried to hit it hard but it gets more challenging as anticipated. "Hold on Cunningham, I got a plan! Keep him busy for a while." Howard suggested as he walked to the circuit breaker and self-transform into living electricity by travelling through it!
"Some of the Dragon Guardians have different abilities like for instance, you are immune to fire while your friend can travel through wires." Smith described. "Like me?" That's when Livewire from Justice League appeared out of nowhere. "What the juice? I think you're in the wrong cartoon." Randy explained to her as he continue to dodge even more laser beams. "Oh sorry." apologized Livewire as she turned into living electricity and left the area.(Ironic or what? LOL!)Just then, Howard reappeared from above the lights and, "Quick Zap!" He touched the robot(which just teleported above him)shocking it greatly. "Works like a joy buzzer!" he then joined Randy. "Why don't you finish it buddy?" Howard liked the idea so, "Let's finish this with one shot! Lightning Bolt!" Howard formed a ball of electricity and fired a powerful bolt of lightning at the robot blowing it into pieces. "Now that's the cheese and it's so bruce! Howard." Randy exclaimed. The duo then fist punch each other to celebrate their victory.
Now back to the McFist Industry...
When McFist and Viceroy returned from buying doughnuts, 'Impossible Viceroy! How did the robot get demolished that quickly?!"
"I can't explain since it was the Sorcerer's idea though."
"Then let's just forget it and plan our next move. So want a doughnut?
"I want some!" Instantly, Homer Simpson appeared out of nowhere and, "Hey! You're in the wrong cartoon!" Viceroy called out as he drew a laser pistol and "BDEW!" shot Homer down. "Nice shot." complimented McFist. LOL!
Later back at school now that everything is back to normal. Sheesh...
"I underestimated your friend now that the electrokinetic has been chosen by the weapon and recruited by you. Nice job." praised Smith. Randy nodded in agreement as Howard added. "Not only that, I finally got what I wanted and it's so bruce!"
"Now that's the cheese Howard! We're now the Dragon Guardians. The 2 of us only and there's more to meet than meets the eye for soon, I will recruit a few more to join our cause!" While Randy and Howard are celebrating by juggling fireballs and lightning balls, Smith revealed something. "Just recently, the McFist Industry has began their excavation activities in the mountains and I fear this might happen."
"And why is this so important?" asked Randy.
"Like I said before, if one shard or fragment falls into the wrong hands, Darkness will rise." But what they didn't know that is while they're having their discussion, a silhouetted figure appeared laughing quietly and saying: "A great dark power I must seek. Soon, it will be mine!" The figure then disappeared.
Howard got what he wanted and who will be next to become a Dragon Guardian? Chapter 4 coming soon...
