Randy quickly got out of the way as the black Ninja attempted to slash him with a sword that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He hid behind one of the stone slabs, only for the black Ninja to slash it in half and crumble into dust.

Just when he was about to get another blow, Randy took out the Ninja Mask and slip it over his head, transforming into the hero of Norisville. He wielded his sword just in time to shield himself from the other Ninja's blow. His adversary's eyes widened upon seeing his new form before leaping a few feet away from him.

"What's the matter?" Randy taunted while flaunting a few moves to signal his opponent that he was prepared, "Ninja got your tongue?"

The other ninja remained in complete shock and silence... only to drop his sword, rushed over to Randy and suffocating him in a big hug.

"Onii-san!" He cried gleefully.

"Onii-what?" Randy asked in confusion.

"Big brother!" The other ninja cried in response, prompting Randy to break free from his embrace in complete utter shock.

"Big brother?!" He cried in total disbelief, "Okay. So you probably been asleep for so long you lost track of time and seeing there is no such thing as a dream clock, I might as well break it to you that I..."

"What year are we?" The other ninja interrupted.

"2016. Now as I was saying..." Randy was interrupted yet again when the other ninja leaped towards the staircase where he entered. Randy eventually followed him until they were back in the entrance. He found the other ninja staring at the town with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Randy somehow felt sorry for the other ninja. The feeling intensified when the other ninja bowed his head and uttered a small sob.

"No. No." Randy rushed over to the saddened ninja and patted his back, "It's alright. How did you even get stuck there in the first place?"

The other ninja wiped a tear before turning to face him, "The Omni. A beast of pure Darkness. My brothers couldn't defeat it. Not without a... sacrifice."

"Your brothers?" Randy asked.

"The Norisu Nine." This caught Randy off guard, "The bravest and toughest warriors of all time. And I let them down all because of my selfishness."

"Oh come on." Randy patted his back, "It's not like you got jealous and teamed up with the enemy."

"To atone for that mistake, I sacrificed my life for them." The other Ninja turned his gaze back to the town, "My only regret is that I lived to tell the tale."

"Okay. You really have got to stop punching yourself in the face. I..." Randy was silenced again by the other Ninja, "All I'm saying is..."

The other ninja silenced him again. Randy could tell that something was wrong by the glint in his eyes. He followed his gaze, waiting for something to happen.

Then... a scream.

Immediately, the two Ninja leaped towards the source. They landed on top of a tree where they can see the source of the scream... children riding the Merry-Go-Round.

"I'm sorry I woke you up in a boring century." Randy apologized, slightly annoyed at his little misunderstanding. He turned to leave but his companion did not stray from the scene one bit.

Just when he was about to pull him away, his eyes widened in shock;

A driver lost control of his truck and it was heading straight for the Merry-Go-Round!

With lightning speed, Randy leaped towards the Merry-Go-Round and grabbed a kid to take him away from safety. The other Ninja was already there by the time he grabbed the kid and he already grabbed the 4 other kids to Randy's surprise.

The two leaped out of the way just as the truck collided with the ride.

The crowd cheered. But the celebration was short as the driver emerged from underneath the wreckage, screaming for help.

As it turned out, the Truck was filled with flammable oil. It suddenly caught fire. They had to take the driver away before it reached him!

Randy rushed over and whipped his red scarf at the driver in an attempt to pull him out. His companion in the meantime grabbed the truck with both hands and, with amazing strength, lifted the truck until it was high above the air, barely touching the ground.

Randy was stunned at the sight before him. There was no sign of stress and sweat on the other ninja as he lifted the truck in the air. He managed to snap out of it and pulled the driver out of the way, allowing the other ninja to throw the truck high above the sky.

The crowd cheered, but the other ninja wasn't finish. He jumped into the air... and headed straight for the truck!

Randy didn't know what happened next; He tried calling for the other Ninja. He planned to go after him. Suddenly, he heard a boom. A dark cloud followed. No other Ninja.

The crowd bowed their heads in respect while Randy fell in his knees in despair. He looked up at the sky only to catch a glimpse of something falling and landed on his arms.

The mourning turned into a revelry as the crowd cheered in joy at the other Ninja's survival. He remained in Randy's arms, coughing, as he began to leave.

"Wait." He called to the truck driver, handing him a wrapped package, "I believe this belongs to you."

Randy watched in confusion as the other Ninja handed the package to the truck driver who smiled in relief upon receiving it. There was a note on the package. It was badly burnt, but he could make out the words, "Happy Birth-".

"Thank you." The truck driver gave the other Ninja a warm smile.

Randy could tell the other Ninja gave a small smile as well as he leaped away from the cheering crowd.

"Okay. I'd like to point out that that was the shoobest stunt I have ever seen in my whole Ninja life!" Randy exclaimed. The two ninjas landed on top of Randy's house since he promised his parents he wasn't going to come home late again because of playing games with Howard (which is not always the case). The other Ninja wasn't much injured or burned, but he was a little weary from the stunt he pulled. Not to mention he got Randy worried sick because of it, "It was also the brucest stunt I ever seen, but..."

"I didn't want him to suffer the same fate I went through." The black Ninja interrupted with a sullen look on his face.

It suddenly dawned on Randy that what he did was out of empathy. I mean, how would he feel missing all the fun things with his family when he was in a 800 years coma? How did he end up in that coffin in the first place?

"So... How did you end up in this century again?" He asked.

"The Omni." He replied forlornly, "The darkest and most heartless being that ever existed. I was the youngest of my brothers. I wasn't ready to take on the family legacy, no matter how much potential I had. My brothers wanted to keep me safe until the day I come of age. Then I met... him. My brothers trapped him because he was terrorizing the village. I got there first before they could. I wanted to prove to them that I was ready, but I couldn't bear to... kill him. I set him free. In return, he trained me and showed me powerful techniques that my family never discovered before. Like this!"

The Black Ninja leaped into the air and struck a few moves before being engulfed in a ray of light. He plummeted to the ground, only to leave a large gaping hole the size of Randy's home where a row of flowers once stood.

"Oops." The Black Ninja said upon realizing he overdid it.

"Randy?"

Upon hearing his mother's voice, Randy quickly took of his Ninja Suit and headed towards the door just as his mother got out, "Did I just heard a bomb went off?"

"What bomb?" Randy smiled sheepishly as he constantly blocked his mother's view from her destroyed flower patch.

Finally having enough, Mrs. Cunningham pushed him out of the way, only to gasp in surprise.

"Randy Cunningham," Randy cringed as he prepared himself for what would probably be the most brutal of all verbal discipline. What came out instead, was a hug, "this is the most thoughtful gift a mother could ever ask for!"

Randy was shocked. He turned his gaze at the crater which was now replaced by a beautifully arranged flower bed in the image of his mother. The Black Ninja was nowhere in sight.

"Now why don't you come in for some well-deserved dessert before bed?" Mrs. Cunningham said as she entered the house.

"I'll... Catch up with you later, Mom." Randy replied. Having snapped out of his daze, he began looking for the Black Ninja. He didn't have to go far as he heard some giggling from a nearby tree.

"Randy Cunningham?" The Black Ninja appeared before Randy hanging on a branch by his feet.

"Yeah. This is the real me. Behind the Mask." Randy replied as he gestured to himself before gesturing to the restored flower beds, "Ninja Art of Healing? (Black Ninja nods) And what about that other stunt you pulled? The Shooting Star Comet Explosion Thing?"

"You could say it like that." The Black Ninja jumped off the tree to face Randy, "Never really thought much on the name."

"Never seen that move before. It was bruce-tastic!" Randy exclaimed, "Which means cool and awesome by the way. You have got to teach me that move!"

"Consider it as a favor returned for freeing me from that 800 years slumber." The Black Ninja nodded, "And since you revealed yourself to me, it seams fair to introduce the real me, Hana."

"Hana?" Randy tried to hold in a chuckle, "That sounds like a girl's name."

"I am a girl." The Black Ninja proved her point by taking off her mask, revealing a girl with braided long black hair and black eyes.

Randy stared in disbelief at the sight before him only to rub the back of his neck in embarrassment, "Wow. Guess that explains a lot. (Hana giggles) Your brothers must be really tough on you, huh?"

"They meant well." Hana mused, "If only I didn't take their actions too hard. That's why I was sealed away for 800 years after sacrificing my life for the creature I once called a friend. I thought he wanted to help me. Instead, he was using me to seek revenge on my family."

Randy felt sorry for the other Ninja. Suddenly, a bright red glow flashed.

"Sorry. I gotta take this." Randy took out the Nomicon which caught the interest of Hana.

"You mind if I borrow that?" Hana asked.

"Alright." Randy handed her the Nomicon, "I gotta warn you though; It can be really feisty. It's been passed down from Ninja to Ninja."

"My brothers made this?" Hana asked as she flipped through the pages, "Hundreds of Ninja knowledge gathered all over the years. I never even heard of these moves before. It's incredible. It's uncanny. It's... It's... Bruce-tastic."

"There you go." Randy complemented as Hana gave him back the Nomicon, "You're finally getting the ropes of this century."

"Maybe tomorrow you can show me around." Hana suggested, "Show me the things that changed over the years."

"Can do, after school." Randy agreed as he motioned for her to follow him home, "Me and my bro Howard can show you around town and then you can show me those sweet moves."

"It's a deal." Instead of going inside, Hana leaped on the roof and laid down, eyes preparing to shut, "Oyasumi, Cunningham-san."

"Huh?" Randy asked in confusion.

"Goodnight Randy." Hana translated before dozing off to sleep.

Randy smiled as he entered his house. This might be a thing for her. Besides; he didn't want to explain to his parents as to why there is a girl dressed like the Ninja sleeping in his room.

Randy laid snuggle on his bed after eating the desert rewarded by his mother. That's when he remembered the Nomicon calling to him before he gave it to Hana. It wasn't glowing anymore so he decided to stow it away when it calls again. He soon fell asleep, predicting tomorrow would be a different and more exciting day.
