"This can't be Norrisville. It just can't be." I saw in shock as I look at the town. It I'd thought that there would be monsters all over. But it really just looked like a ghost town.

Katy leads the way to where we are staying. "Well, it is. Like I said; things have changed. A lot of things have. Everyone is to fight for themselves. But there are certain town meetings, meetings on planning on destroying the ninja. Not the entire town is against the ninja, but most of it is. We have to show those people who are against the ninja that he didn't abandoned us. That he will save us."

Howard comes up to me, "We were planning on going to one of those private meetings tonight. If we can figure out what they are capable of, then we can know how safe or dangerous it will be for the ninja to reveal himself." I've never seen or heard Howard so serious about something. They were right about the meeting plan, if we figure out what everyone is planning on doing, and then we can be prepared for the worse. We finally get to our 'hideout' other known as my now abandoned old house. We enter through the back door. When I get inside, there were three mattresses on the ground in the living room. Windows were boarded shut. I go into the kitchen to find bags of chips and some canned foods.

"Why are there three mattresses? I thought it was just you and Howard." I ask my best friends.

Katy walks toward me, "Howard and I never gave up hope that you would come back. We knew that you would escape, so when you did escape you would have a bed to sleep on." I look over at my bed; there was only a pillow and a thin blanket. It wasn't much, but at least I had something to sleep on. I turn around smiling at my friends.

"Thanks for waiting for me guys. It means a lot." I stop and think for a minute. "So how do you guys get all the food and stuff you need?"

"There's an underground food market. It's underground so that if any monsters wake up, the food and everything will be safe from being crushed under the ground. We go there every month. And since money is worthless here, we have to trade things that may be worth trading." Says Howard. "Kate, I think we should get going for the meeting. Let's get the hood jackets."

"You're right Howard." Katy runs up stairs and brings down three red sweatshirt hoodies. "Here Randy, you might want to put this on. Howard and I are pretty well known here in Norrisville. We've been caught a couple of times trying to show the people the ninja is good. We need to make sure that no one recognizes us when we're in there." Katy throws me a sweatshirt. I put it on and throw the hood over my head.

"Lets go see what Norrisville thinks of the ninja now." We walk out of my old house try to be careful of where we walk. If a monster notices us, then we're dead. We finally get to the meeting. But before we go in, we are stopped by a guard. He stares at us with our heads down for a whole long minute. Then says we may go in. When we go in, I glance all around me. It was filled with people who now hated the ninja. I look forward and there is a huge stage. The room suddenly goes silent. Then a huge voice is heard around the room.

"Welcome fellow ninja destroyers. We are all here for one reason. To destroy the ninja!" The crowed begins to cheer in delight. That voice, it sounds familiar. From the darkness of the stage the man comes out and reveals himself. "I am Mac Antfee, and I am here to make all your lives better. We're going to destroy the ninja!" Mac Antfee, The 1985 ninja! I thought I ditched that shoob back at ninja camp. How did he end up here in Norrisville? "When the ninja finally comes out to try and show us that he is the good guy. What are we going to do to him?"

The crowd shouts, "We will rip him of his suit and give it to Mac Antfee! Then we shall kill the ninja!" I can't believe what I'm hearing, the people who I protected, who I thought owed there lives to me. Were trying to take my own life away. I can't take this anymore, but I have to stay if I want to show them that I never left them for myself. I stand there in that one spot listening to Mac. When it was over, I told Howard and Katy to wait outside. I go back stage to snoop around. When all of the sudden, I feel someone grab me by the shoulder. I turn around to see it was Mac Antfee. I looked at him in shock thinking he would have recognized me from ninja camp. What do you think you're doing back here? Only staff and I am aloud back here."

I panic and try to think of an excuse. "I was looking for the bathroom, and I-I got lost. Yeah, I got lost." He looks at me with a suspicious face.

"I think you need to leave kid. Because I don't like you anymore. You remind me of a student of mine that I hated. He was such a nice wad. No get out of here." I turn around and begin to walk away. As I'm walking away, I hear Mac whisper to someone, "Make sure you keep an eye on that one. He's not what he seems to be." I begin to run grabbing both Howard and Katy's hands. And we ran back to our hideout and never looked back. At least he didn't get my name. But we were still in trouble.
