I was lying down next to the most amazing, most perfect girl I had ever met. But why was she so drawn to me? Why did I trust her now? She was working for McFist, but maybe she was forced to do it. But she did tell me about her mother, she said that I was the only person she ever told about her. I don't care anymore; I just got my best bro back. I have the most amazing girl ever in my life. But McFist is still out to get me, and now that Katy knows my secret, she's in even more danger than she ever was back at McFist industries.
"Kaitlin, you know it's going to be dangerous for you to be around me. I don't want to lose you, if I ever did I don't know what I'd do." She sits up and looks at me.
"Randy, you're starting to sound like my father. You know I just came out of my house of prison, I was homeschooled there my whole life. Just because my dad thought I couldn't defend myself. This is a new chance for me to prove that I'm not defenseless, that I can fight for myself. I know you love me Randy, but now I'm a part of this battle. I'm going to be in danger whether I'm with you or not. We're in this battle together Randy." I look at her and smile. She was right, even if I did stop seeing her, she would still be in danger of McFist.
"You're right Katy. I'm so sorry you got caught up in this mess. And now it's just you, Howard, and me against McFist and the Sorcerer. I'm going to need to teach you a few strategies on being able to fight."
"Oh, no need for that. My father signed me up for karate when I was six. And now I'm a full out black belt. Trust me Randy." We both get up and walk to my house. When we get there I find Howard in my room playing Grave Puncher. I walk up to him and I scream in his ear. I scared the juice out of him.
"Cunningham, why would you do that? Oh hey Katy." Howard waves to Katy. She waves back to him.
"Howard I need the mask back."
"Wait, does she know?"
"Yes Howard, Kaitlin knows I'm the ninja. Now can I please have the mask back." I pull my hand out for the mask and Howard puts the mask in my hand. I take and put it into my book bag. "Howard, know that Kaitlin knows my secret, we're all going to need to work together. Something tells me that the Sorcerer is cooking something up that's going to have a gallon of evil in it."
"Alright Cunningham, you're right. Don't worry bro, I've got your back."
"Me too." Kaitlin says as she puts a hand on my shoulder.
"Thanks you guys. It means a lot to me that you guys help me out with this."
The three of us walk to school together the next day. As we're walking I notice that Howard is being quiet. I ask him what's wrong, but he says that it's nothing. That I don't need to worry about it. Katy and me were both holding hands while we were walking. Katy looked amazing as usual. I just couldn't get over that she was dating me, I mean it's not like I don't like it. I just can't believe that I have a girlfriend, especially a girlfriend like Katy.
As the school day went by, nothing happened. It was just the usual. No stanked students, no robo-apes. Nothing. Until it was sixth period. A big whole was made in the ceiling, five robo-apes cam from above. They surrounded Katy, Howard, and me.
"You guys better go. I'll take care of them." I tell Howard and Katy.
"No Randy! We're in this together. Remember?" Katy says to me as I'm trying to push them out of the way. Katy was right; I did say that we were in this together. No matter what. Before I can agree with Katy, my book bag I snatched from my hand and was now in the hands of a robo-ape.
"Hey! That's mine." I yell at the robo-ape.
"You won't be needing this anymore. Grab him." The robo-apes begin to walk toward me, but Katy is able to stop two of them.
"Go Randy! Run!" Katy yells as she tried to keep the robo-apes rom passing her. I begin to run for my life. I look next to me and see Howard running next to me.
"Cunningham, I need to tell you something."
"Now? What's so important Howard that you decide to tell me now?"
"McFist killed Kaitlin's mother!" I stop in my tracks, the robo-apes were long gone. I look at Howard and ask him how he knew about Kaitlin's mother.
"When McFist kidnapped the both of us, he kept me in his office. I was snooping around his files and found the name Lily BreakWood. The name just popped out at me so I looked through the file. It was a file that McFist made by himself. He kidnapped Katy and her mom when she was three. He let Katy go, but he killed her mother. I didn't know that it was Katy's mom until I just thought of it this morning. Katy's mom apparently owed McFist money, and she never paid him back. That's why he killed her." It a moment for me to take it all in. McFist had darkness in his blood, he always will. He murdered a three year olds mother. He needs to pay for what he did.
"I was the only person Katy had ever told about her mother. She's going to be so heart broken when she finds out what really happened to her mother. This is too much Howard; I can't take all of this sadness anymore. I need to-" Before I can finish, I am swiped up from my feet, I was in the hands a robo-ape. "Howard! You and Katy need to find a place to hide. I'll come and find you guys when I have the chance." The robo-ape grabs a robe that was hanging from another hole in the ceiling. The robo-ape grabs onto it, and we are pulled up into a craft. I watch as the robo-apes rummage through my book bag while another robo-ape holds onto me.
"Here it is," A robo-ape takes out my mask and the Nomicon. "Take these to McFist." The robo-ape hands it to another one, and it walks away with my one way of escaping.
