Nomi Norisu: Thanks and I hope this story continues to be awesome to you!
NinjaCookieEater: Yea, Howard and Nomicon, Whoo! Puff power!
IHaveNoName and IDC: O.o ... I don't know what to make of this, do you have an alter ego? Glad you liked it, IHave...?
Guest: Thanks, the updating is commencing.
Howard gasped at the Nomicon that was walking around the short hallway that held his and Randy's locker, as he assessed the situation of the chaotic school. He quickly snapped out of his stupor on the grumpy teen.
"Wait a sec, you're not the nomicon! You look nothing like the first ninja." The red-head sighed in exasperation at having to waste time explaining something.
"No, I don't look anything like the first ninja because the Nomicon isn't the first ninja, it is the compilation of 200 hundred ninjas' wisdom over the past 800 years. I am the embodiment, the reincarnation of all said wisdom." The black and red clad ninja said as patiently as he could. When he finished explaining, he looked over to Howard to see what he thought of this... only to see him picking his nails.
"Oh, sorry, I zoned out there, started sounding like History." Howard chuckled the last part of the sentence. The Nomicon's lower eye-lid twitched before he spun away from him, walking towards the exit of the school. Howard gave a start then ran to catch up to him.
"Hey, where you going?!" He asked, matching his steps.
"I have to stop the Sorcerer from gaining too much power. He may have got the ninja, but he's not free yet. After doing some chaos control, I'll move on to freeing the Ninja from their grasp."
"Alright, I'm coming with you."
"No." He said firmly while slightly picking up the speed in his step.
"What, why?"
"I don't need someone like you distracting me." He said, stopping to face Howard, who was obviously not going to stop following him.
"What? I don't distr-"
"You know, none of this would've happened if it weren't for you." He accused.
"-gasp- Why would you-!"
"The ninja would have properly finished his training and maybe took it more seriously if you weren't always telling him to ignore me, or I'm being paranoid, or to hang out with you and neglect his duties as a Ninja!" He fumed. Then he turned away once more with a flourish of his cape, leaving Howard with his mouth hanging wide open. He grumbled, closing his mouth. He really didn't like the Nomicon. He ran to catch up again.
"Well, I'm helping anyways!" He said with finality. The Nomicon rolled his eyes.
"And why would I let you-" He started in a demeaning tone of voice.
"Because he's my friend! That's more than why you can say you're helping." He huffed. That stopped the Nomicon for a minute. He scoffed slightly.
"yea right, we're friends..." He said under his breathe. Howard stopped and faced to him.
"What was that?" the Nomicon blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed he had to try and justify something, even to himself.
"Nothing!" He snapped. He raised his hood to cover everything on his face except his eyes. "Hope you can keep up." He said, narrowing his eyes. He pushed off the nearest wall and flipped up out a hole in the hallway. Howard ran underneath the opening and looked up. "NO FAIR!"
McFist gasped and flailed around like a little girl when the Ninja flipped into the robot's compartment.
"Yes! Yes, Viceroy, I got the ninja! This is so Bruce!" He flipped out to his friend. His smile soon fell as a silver blade stabbed through the air and rested beside McFist's ear. He yelped and jumped onto Viceroy, who caught him.
"McFist." The ninja spat out as though ready to enter combat. His eyes were no longer over shadowed with green from the Sorcerer's power, but his irises glowed green instead of the usual violet hue.
"Viceroy?" Mcfist asked, as the ninja stood in the drawn sword position, seeming to wait for a response.
"Er, well, remember when I told you he should still have some consciousness left, but will take orders? Well, this is his consciousness to do good, so now... give him some orders."
McFist looked back at him skeptically but then cautiously climbed off Viceroy. "Er... Ninja. Stand down." Randy's eyes narrowed out of frustration, but he stood straight and put the sword back from wherever he gets it from. But his eyes never fogged back over.
"Is... is he ok?" McFist asked, still sensing the hostile vibe from the Ninja in their confined space.
"Er, yea, he won't attack again." Viceroy said, shrugging it off, and turning back to the controls nonchalantly. McFist just kept an eye on the stationary ninja on the way back.
They eventually got back to McFist's tower and the Ninja followed after the two obediently, they entered his main office and McFist wasted no time calling up the Sorcerer. When the image came up, the old wrinkly man was being circled by his flying orbs of power, with stank coming in and out. The ninja gasped as his eyes shifted to blue, seeing all the chaos and power the Sorcerer was reaping. He turned around and looked out the over viewing window to see the gray clouds gathering.
"Is that the NINJA!?" The Sorcerer said with glee from the screen. Randy turned around with a glare.
"You won't get away with this-!" He growled, starting to pull out his sword. He didn't find any comfort when what he got in return was a knowing, wicked smile.
"Stop." He said firmly. The ninja went wide eyes as his body stiffened in the familiar feeling. He found himself slowly putting his sword away, and his irises flushed green.
"Bow before me." He said evilly, grinning. His eyes hazed over with green as he walked forward ahead of McFist and Viceroy and bowed before the Sorcerer's image. The Sorcerer looked towards the two behind him.
"Un-Mask him. I want to know the one who will be facing his defeat soon. When I get out of here..." He chuckled evilly. "He's coming in." They stepped forward, but McFist was the one who placed a hand under his chin. He gave Viceroy a hesitant look, but pulled it off, revealing his purple disheveled hair. The Sorcerer laughed evilly at the triumph he felt.
"I'll be free soon from all chaos going on right now. When that happens, you'll get your reward, Viceroy, for I'll be powerful enough!" He cheered.
"Actually..." Viceroy started in his usual tone. "McFist is the one who received the ninja. Technically I couldn't do it." The Sorcerer raised an eyebrow.
"Explain."
"I'll do you one better and demonstrate." Viceroy said, starting to walk a ways from the ninja. He turned back around. "Ninja, here." He said in his best commanding voice. The most he did was look in his direction before looking back to McFist and the Sorcerer as if looking for authorization. "Now you call, Hannible." Viceroy said with a wave of his hand.
"Oh, er... Here, ninja." He said uncertainly. The ninja stood and walked to him. standing behind him like a second in command. The Sorcerer's face lit with realization as Hannible stood nervously.
"I see. then McFist... deserves the reward for the capturing of the ninja and my release. I guess." He grumbled. "Now! We need more Chaos, those kids at the school aren't enough, let's show all of Norrisville that the ninja is their enemy!"
"Should we keep the mask off?"" McFist asked.
"No, they won't recognize him like that. Put his mask on and send him out to town to be evil." He said with a menacing smile. The two nodded and moved out the room as the Sorcerer on the screen faded away.
The Nomicon took survey of the school, seeing most students getting stanked from the fact that their ninja wasn't present.
"Well, then I just have to show them their ninja's still here." He said, pulling up the mask covering his hair and mouth. He was preparing to jump off the building when he heard groaning behind him. He whirled around and moved into a defensive fighting position. He saw orange hair and was prepared to attack when a hand shot up and a gasping wheezing Howard pulled himself onto the roof. The Nomicon rolled his eyes and turned back around preparing to jump off the roof again.
"You know,... if we're... going to work... together..." He gave another wheezing cough. "I'm not calling you Nomicon!" That stopped him in his tracks. He faced Howard again.
"And why wouldn't you call me that?" He seethed.
"Because, calling you Nomicon just reminds me you're that stupid book. And you being a human is weird, so you can't have the same name!" The Nomicon face-palmed.
"And what makes you think we're working together?" He asked, waving a n exasperated hand. Howard gave a smug grin.
"Well, you said I needed to keep up, and since I obviously did, we're working together." He chuckled. The Nomicon gave a frustrated groan, and turned around and jumped off the building.
"Hey!" He shouted after the ninja. "I'm calling you Nomi!" He shouted after grumpily. He stood there for a second before starting his descent from the building. "It's a good thing I always keep up with Cunningham or this would be impossible." He muttered under his breathe.
Nomi landed on the ground in front of the school, and the stanked monsters faced him. Then about 3/4 of the monsters became de-stanked.
"Ninja!" "Alright, you're back!" "We're saved!" The students shouted out. The other still monsters came rushing at him. He pulled out his sword and swiped at the first student's art project, and he was de-stanked.
"Oh, thanks ninja!" He shouted, as Nomicon moved for the next guy. Howard just came huffing out the building after coming down from the roof.
"No!... You're suppose to shout... ninja slash!" He shouted after the Nomicon.
"Kindly be quiet." He said in the midst of de-stanking 3 more students. Then they heard a scream in the direction of the city.
"Oh no!" Nomi whispered to himself and made to take off when Howard jumped onto his foot, latching on to his leg like a child.
"Take me with you! I want to help get my friend back! Take. Me!" He demanded. Nomi grunted and tried to shake him off.
"No!" Howard groaned. Nomi rolled his eyes, then looked down at the teen at his foot.
"Fine."
"Yes!" He cheered getting off. Then Nomi swung his scarf around and swung away. "hey!" He shouted. Then the scarf came and wrapped around Howard's foot, and he was airborne.
"Woah! Hey!" He shouted. He hit a billboard as he was being pulled then he hit the ground next to Nomi's standing form.
"Oops." He said mischievously.
"You did that on purpose!" He accused standing up.
"And?" He challenged. Howard just pouted and they focused their attention to the scene in the city then gasped. The ninja was atop a McFist robot that was leading a whole bunch of other monsters. People in town were getting stanked left and right.
"Oh no." The Nomicon whispered. He knew the Ninja was in danger and it's why he came out to help, but he didn't know it'd be this bad. "If this keeps up, the Sorcerer will be out very soon! I thought we could stop the Sorcerer first then get Randy, but it seems he has to be the first priority." Nomi told Howard.
"Well, duh, I thought that was the plan all along!"
"Listen, try to get through to Randy, he seemed to be stanked by the look in his eyes, but seeing as he's not a monster, it can't be that bad. I need to do some damage control." He said, then flipped off.
"W-wait! But he's... on top of monsters." He grumbled the last part as Nomi was nowhere in earshot to pretend to care anymore. "Ok, RC, I'm coming... don't hurt me." He whimpered the last part as he began to get closer to Randy without getting detected by monsters.
He climbed a piece of building rubble so he was leveled with Randy and began trying to speak to him.
"Hey, Cunningham! You know you tried to cut me down earlier and I don't think you apologized. A meal at McFlubbusters should do the trick." He called out. The ninja turned it's cold green flushed eyes towards him, and Howard flinched, when Randy's face softened up. His green hazed eyes cleared up until it was just his irises that were green.
"Oh, Buddy, I'm... so sorry about that. But... the Sorcerer, I can't stop him this time... I'm sorry for everything I might-"
"No! I don't want to hear that! You're the NINJA! You're suppose to fight for us! Not against us!" He scolded. Nomi, who had de-stanked a couple more civilians saw talking was working. He flipped over to Howard.
"Ninja, remember your training. A ninja must never endanger the innocent, but he must always defend the defenseless. Stay grounded, do not waiver." He said, holding onto a near by pole. The ninja held up his hands to his head and shook it out.
"Yes... Yea, you're right! I'm the Ninja! And I kick evil's butt!" He shouted, then did a flip in the air and came down with his sword drawn, stabbing the robot he was riding.
"Yeah!" Howard and Nomi cheered out, and Nomi flipped away to help Randy fight the monsters. Up in a McFist aircraft, Viceroy witnessed an alarm going off.
"Uh, sir, the robot that the ninja was on... it's been destroyed."
"What!? Who destroyed it?!" MCfist shouted.
"Um..." Viceroy checked the robot footage. "The ninja."
"WHAT! Viceroy, you already gave me all the credit for the ninja, FIX IT NOW SO I DON'T GET IN TROUBLE FOR HIM!" He commanded.
"It must be the environment he's in. It might be too chaotic for him, and he wants to protect. The best thing we can do right now is call him back!" He advised.
"Alright." McFist said going over to the air-con. "Ninja! Return!" He yelled out to the air. Viceroy began steering the ship closer to the ground so it'd be easier for the Ninja to get on the ship. Back on the ground, Nomi witnessed the Ninja bend down to one knee after he cut down another robot.
"Ninja, what's wrong!" He yelled, jumping over to him and covering him from surrounding monsters. Howard, who was hiding near-by, came out to Randy.
"Dude, you ok?" He asked, bending down next to him and rubbing his back. Randy looked up and Howard saw his irises were green again.
"I'm fine. I can do this. I can fight it!" He growled out, then he jumped up and turned around, attacking another robot ferociously. "I'll just use my aggresion on these robots and tire myself out."
"That's not advised." The Nomicon said worriedly. Randy turned towards him then squinted.
"Wait who the juice are you?" Nomi blushed slightly at the embarrassment that he didn't introduce himself.
"Now's not the time for explaining, so just take my word that I am the NinjaNomicon." The Ninja's mouth fell open (Unseen because of the mask) and Howard started chuckling.
"I call him Nomi." The Nomicon glared at him sharply while Howard kept laughing. Then Randy swooned again.
"Nin-" Nomi started, but then saw the airship coming in their direction.
"Ninja! Come here!" He heard McFist's voice ring out the ship.
"We've got to hid him!" Nomi told Howard, and they both grabbed an arm and tried dragging him away.
"Ninja!" McFist yelled out angrily, and the Ninja flipped out their grasp, turning the sword in their direction.
"No!" Howard yelled as he backed up. Nomi pulled out his sword for defense but kept the pleading look in his eye that Randy wouldn't do this. The Ninja gave a quick glance behind him to see how close the ship was and flipped backwards into the open cargo hold.
"Randy!" "Ninja!" They yelled out as the ship turned to leave.
"Hey, are you trying to reveal his identity?!" Nomi snapped at Howard.
"What, that is not the issue right now!" Nomi faced back in the direction of the ship. He knew that, he was just frustrated right now and was just being passive aggressive.
"Well, save you Randy." He whispered to himself and turned back towards Howard.
"Listen, if we're to save Randy... we have to work together." Howard's mouth hung open. Then he angrily replied.
"I ALREADY SAID THAT!"
