It was a Saturday afternoon, and on the Triskelion, the Quinjet was coming in for a landing, as it touches down on the landing pad,

After landing, the cargo door opens, and exiting the Quinjet were A-Bomb, White Tiger, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee, as all five of them were covered in soot, while they looked annoyed, as they walked out of the jet.

Following them was Ninja, he had looked a little bored, who wasn't covered soot, "Aw, come on, guys, how long are you gonna give me the silent treatment?" He asked, as they ignored him, as they walked towards the Triskelion and entered it, through the main entrance doors.

Inside the large building, the soot covered teens were walking down the large lobby area, passing some S.H.I.E.L.D. personal, as they were walking towards an elevator, with Ninja following and catching up with them.

"Hey, come on, how was I supposed to know there was a gas tank under that tarp!" Ninja complained, as he didn't know about the gas tank, as he was using his fire powers around it.

A-Bomb presses the button on the wall, next to the elevator, as they were waiting for the elevator.

White Tiger turned to look at Ninja, with a cold scowl in her eyes, "Not only did you set fire to that gas tank, the explosion set fire to an apartment building next to it, destroyed half a street block and endangered lives!" Tiger yelled at him, as the elevator arrives and the doors open, as everyone walked into the elevator.

"Hey! We managed to save everyone, nobody was hurt!" Ninja argued, as he quickly walked into the elevator,

The elevator doors then closed,

As the elevator was taking the team up, they were all still upset and annoyed with Ninja,

"Aw, come on, how about this, just tell me what to do and I'll do it, seriously just tell me to do anything!" Ninja said, in hopes it would make everyone stop giving him the cold shoulder.

"Um... Grow up!" White Tiger said, annoyed as the soot covered heroine had her arms crossed, and her eyes closed,

"Anything within reason (!)" Ninja joked, as he had his right eye-brow raised,

Metabee had his arms crossed, as he had his eyes closed, and chuckled at bit, "Heh-heh, oh don't worry, Cunningham, we'll think of something..." Metabee told him, warning him at they'll think of something,

As Ninja reaches his right hand up and grabbed his mask, as he pulls it off and transforms back into Randy, while White Tiger grabbed her mask with her right hand and pulls off her mask as well.

Once the elevator reaches the lever, the doors open and the team walked out and walked down the hallway, towards Nick Fury's office.

Ava opens the door, and the first thing the team see, was Nick, Washington standing up, while a strange girl, sitting at the round table.

The girl was Caucasian and had a thin and tall build, as she looked like she was 18, with short dark green hair, but had long bangs on both sides of her face and a long low ponytail, riding down her back. She was wearing a dark red sweater vest, with a white collared shirt with a green tie on, as she was wearing a dark red shirt and had white socks with black shoes. The girl also had her eyes closed, but she turned to face the door, in the direction facing the team.

The team looked confused and awkward, at them barging in Nick's office, while he was talking with someone.

But Randy sees the girl, and he immediately turns SD, as he had a big smile and love hearts for eyes.

"WHOA, HO, HO, BABE-CITY!" SD Randy yelled out, in love, as he quickly ran over to the girl, turning back to normal and putting his left hand on the table and leaning on it, as he looked at the girl with a cool and flirty smile on his face.

"Sorry to interrupt your little chat, but I couldn't help but noticed that you are, possibly the most drop dead gorgeous girl I have ever laid my eyes on..!" Randy said to the girl, with a cool look on his face.

Wash walked over to the team, as he looked at Randy, "Does he ever stop?" He asked, annoyed at watching Randy, wondering way Randy have to flirt and hit on every girl he sees.

Ava had an un-emotionally expression on her face, as she shrugged her shoulders, "Kinda makes you wish ya had a mussel and a leash, just to keep him restraint from his impulses (!)" She said, coldly.

But the girl looked surprised, as she was looking up on Randy, "I'm sorry, but is your name Randy Cunningham?" She asked him,

Randy's flirty look then changes into a confused looked after hearing that, "Yeah, that's me..." He said, answering her question, surprised that she knows his name.

And then, the girl quickly stands up, revealing to be taller than Randy, as she had a happy and joyous smile on her face, as she looked at Randy.

"I've been searching over the Earth, just to find you..!" The girl told Randy, happy,

But then, Ava, A-Bomb, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee all were blue and all looked shocked by that.

"WHA'!?" Ava, A-Bomb, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee yelled out, on confusion and shock, as they looked shocked, with their jaws completely dropping to the floor, while Kaikaina and Metabee's faceplates dropped as well.

A girl actually searched all over the world just to find Randy,

A wide and big smile starts forming on Randy's face, as he looked at the girl, "Really..?" He said; completely over the moon at hearing that she went through all that trouble just to meet him.

The girl smiled widely, as she nodded, "My name is Kaede Nagase and I've been searching for you, Randy Cunningham..!" She said, introducing herself to Randy,

Randy was really happy, at hearing all this,

"... And now, you will come with me to the Mount Tanigawa in Japan!" Kaede finished her sentence, with a happy smile.

"The honor is all-" Randy said, only to stop in mid-sentence after just realized what she just said, as he's eyes widen in shock and realization, as he froze in place, while staring at her. "... I'm sorry, repeat that..?" He said, quickly and nervously.

"Miss Nagase is a student to a discreet but also advanced school; she came all this way to find you, Cunningham, so she could take you to it." Nick Fury explained to Randy, as he turned his head to stare at Fury, with a still frozen speechless expression on his face.

"Huh..?" Randy muttered the only word he could say,

"She explained to us that her superior wants to meet you, as a form of a diplomatic act of cultural alliance." Washington explained,

"But I'm no diplomat..." Randy said, as he looked confused and nervous,

Kaede then puts her right hand on Randy's left shoulder, which makes him turn his head and look at her, as Kaede looked at him with gentle smile on her face.

"You'll be representing your country with this diplomatic act; you think you can do it for me... Please..." Kaede asked Randy, giving him a gentle and sweet smile.

Randy just stared at the girl, frozen as his eyes, before he quickly turns around to look at A-Bomb, Ava, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee, with a wide, proud and confident smile on his face,

"Pack my bags, I'm headin' for Tokyo!" Randy yelled out, proclaiming, now on board with him going to Japan,

Kaede leaned her head to the left, as she smiled at Randy, "I've also asked if a certain person would come with us," She mentioned, as A-Bomb, Ava, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee looked at her, wondering on who she's talking about.

An hour later, at downtown Jump City, at Wildcat's Gym,

Inside, boxing in a boxing ring, was a 17 year old boy who was basically made of mummy-like bandages. He was wearing a black torn shirt with brown pants and appears to be hollow inside, he also has red eyes. The guy's name was Tuck,

As he was boxing with an old but, well build, man, as he was wearing a full body suit that was covered with black fur and the top part of his head had a mask that almost covered his entire face but his bottom jaw and chin wasn't cover, he had two small tips on the top of his head and had yellow eyes. The old hero's name was Wildcat, Ava's mentor,

While the two of them were boxing, sitting around a table, at the kitchen area,

Was a young, 16 year teenage girl with human and insect-like features such as her legs and skin. She had long bug-like legs and an olive-colored patterned exoskeleton with at least four spikes. Her most outstanding trait is her hair which was dark purple. She was wearing a small red vest with a blue-green undershirt, torn socks and an olive green plaited skirt. The girl's name was Cricket,

Sitting next to her was, a 16 year old guy, he looked human, but had squid like traits are evident and didn't have a nose. His skin has a pear tinge, his hair and hands are tentacle-like. He had dark blue eyes. He wears an orange and grey sweatshirt with the sleeves rolled back a bit, dark pants and orange sneakers. The squid like guy's name was Sqwydd,

And lastly, a 17 year old boy, the full black ninja costume and the ninja helmet with a visor, and had a katana strapped on his back, the young masked ninja was Snake Eyes.

And sitting with that, was Randy and Kaede,

"So, you want Snake to come with you to Japan for this diplomatic thing?" Cricket asked Randy and Kaede, as she and Sqwydd looked a bit unsure about this.

Kaede still had her eyes closed, as she smiled and nodded, "Yes, I think that Snake's skills will be a great added addition to this trip!" She said, happy,

Randy turned to look at Snake Eyes, with a smile, "And it'll be a great chance to get to know one another, Snake, just two bachelor ninjas, chattin up with some girls... Well, actually I'll just be chattin' up some girls..." Randy said, as he remembers that Snake Eyes has taking a vow of silence.

Sqwydd then turned to look at Cricket, "Well, it all comes down to Snake, you want it, Snake?" Sqwydd asked Snake Eyes, as the masked ninja turned to look at him and Cricket, before turning to look at Randy and Kaede.

Snake Eyes then nodded, signifying that he'll come with them to Japan.

A few hours later, back on the Triskelion Island,

Just outside of the SHED, was a Quinjet, as it had a pilot inside, prepping it for lift off.

As Snake Eyes was sitting on the one of the seats, with only no bags or luggage with him,

Kaede was standing outside, facing the entrance of the SHED, as she was waiting for Randy, as Randy walks out of the SHED, with a rolling luggage suitcase and a rucksack, while A-Bomb, Ava, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee, who were all clean from the soot, all stood outside of the SHED as they watched Randy walk to the Quinjet.

As Randy was now walked into the Quinjet's cargo hold, he puts his bags on the floor, as he turned around to look at his team, while Kaede walked in the jet, joining them,

"Try not and miss me so much!" Randy smiled at his team, sounding smug.

But A-Bomb, Ava, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee had a less than happy looks on their faces, as Ava crosses her arms and rolls her eyes at Randy.

"Oh, we'll try our best, Cunningham (!)" Ava said, coldly and sarcastically at him,

Then the Quinjet's cargo door starts to close, while Randy was waving goodbye,

"See you guys in three weeks!" Randy said to them, saying goodbye, as the Quinjet closes the door completely.

Then the Quinjet begins to take off, lifting itself off the ground and begins to fly into the sky,

As the team watched the Quinjet fly away, into the sky and disappearing into the distance, as it was now heading to Japan.

"Good, maybe now we can get a few weeks of peace and quiet." Ava said, as she turned around and walked into the SHED.

A-Bomb looked a little depressed as he turned and looked down at Metabee, as he looked up on him. "Aww, I didn't get some pay-back on Randy, with my Electro-Joke-Box 2000, I could've drove him crazy with thousands of noises, sounds and bodily functions, as it can be hooked up to the SHED's mainframe." A-Bomb said, looking sad,

As he held up a small device in his right hand, as he presses a button on it and the gag sound of a fart comes out of the device.

A-Bomb started laughing at that, "Ha-ha-ha-ha!" He laughed, as it cheered him up.

But Metabee, Julie and Kaikaina shook their heads in disgust as they turned around and walked into the SHED, while A-Bomb followed them, while he was still playing around with Electro-Joke-Box 2000, as it was making tons of sounds and noises that made him laugh.

A few days later, after arriving in Japan, having landed at an airport, Randy, Kaede and Snake Eyes took a taxi to the base of Mount Tanigawa,

As the taxi drops them off and drives away, leaving Randy, Kaede and Snake standing on the side of the road, near the start of pathway up the mountain.

Randy looked a little confused, as he looked around the area, "So, this is where you go to school?" Randy asked Kaede, as he turned to look at her.

"The campus is deep within the mountains of Tanigawa." Kaede said, as she turned and pointed her right index finger, at the mountains.

Randy and Snake looked up on the tall mountains, "Sooo, we just wait here for a helicopter or what?" Randy asked, with a calm smile on his face, as he sits down on his suitcase.

Kaede laughed at Randy's comment, thinking it was a joke. "You're funny, Randy, but it would be more honorable to trek and up the mountains." She said, with a smile.

A few hours later, now trekking up the mountain path, walking ahead was Kaede and Snake Eyes, but way behind them, was Randy, was he was now on his hands and knees, desperately crawling on the ground, as he was exhausted from walking up a mountain for hours, as he had to leave his bags and suitcase behind.

Kaede and Snake stopped walking as they turned around to let Randy have some time to catch up with them.

Randy was struggling to breathe, as he stopped crawling for a minute, "Why couldn't… (Panting)… these mountains have a cable car… (Panting)… or better yet, escalators!" Randy said, completely, as he was tried, as he paces himself.

"Don't worry, Randy, we're almost there," Kaede said to Randy, assuring him that they were close.

Randy looked up on Kaede, as he looked really exhausted, "It would be my honor... to pass out!" Randy said, as he falls, face first into the ground,

Snake Eyes then grabbed Randy's shoulders and helps him back on his feet, as Kaede smiled as she turned around and walked towards a small waterfall, and goes around it.

Randy quickly changed his tried expression to a look of surprise as he and Snake turned their head to look at each other, before the two of them quickly walked to the waterfall, and goes around it, to follow Kaede.

On the other side of the waterfall, Randy and Snake Eyes walked into a small cave, which leads to a bright end.

Once they reaches Kaede, they saw, from a far, an ancient Japanese monastery, sitting on top of a mountain, while there was a rope bridge, that connected from the entrance all the way to where Kaede, Randy and Snake Eyes were standing.

"Check... it... out..." Randy said, completely speechless,

Within the monastery, there was warriors sparring with Shinai or bamboo swords, training in martial arts, in ninja weapons and meditating.

Now walking through the entrance, Kaede, Randy and Snake Eyes walked into the monastery, while Randy looked amazed at what he was seeing.

"So is this like a public school?" Randy asked, as he turned his head to look at Kaede,

"Randy Cunningham, we have awaited your arrival..." A voice was heard, which gets Randy's attention,

Randy looked around, to see way that voice came from, Kaede then tapped in on the shoulder, making him look at her, as she points her right index finger down, as Randy then looked down.

As he then saw, standing before them, was a small, knee-high, frog like alien, who was light baby blue, and big wide blue eyes. He was wearing a white hat that shrouds, he had a symbol on his hat, which was a red, four pronged shuriken. He was donning a ninja mask that covered his mouth and sheath for his Katana, which was strapped to his back.

Randy looked at the small alien, looked confused,

"... I am Sensei Dororo..." The small blue, frog like, ninja alien introduced himself,

Then Dororo then turned around and began to walk, with Randy, Kaede and Snake Eyes followed the small ninja sensei.

"Tiger Lily is no ordinary school; we are a secret training ground for the ancient art of ninjutsu." Dororo said, as he stopped and turned around, to look up on the trio.

Randy looked all over the place, as he looked completely speechless, "Whoa... An secret ninja school!" He said, in amazement,

Only to quickly snap out of it, as he looked a little concerned, "Now, wait, is it like a public secret ninja school?" Randy asked Dororo, as he looked down at him.

While Dororo just stood there, looking at Randy, with the contemplating on what Randy just said.

Meanwhile, back at Jump City, and at the Triskelion Island, inside the SHED,

Ava, Metabee, A-Bomb and Kaikaina were sitting on the couch, in the living room area, as Ava was reading a book, and A-Bomb, Metabee, Kaikaina was watching TV,

In the kitchen, Julie was pouring some dog kibble into Chomp's bowl, as within the second Julie stopped pouring, the baby triceratops immediately starts eating the kibble, as Julie happily smiles at seeing her pet eat his food.

She then walked out of the kitchen and walked over to the living room area, and then sits on the floor, leaning her back on the couch, as she watches TV with her friends.

"Now this is nice, Cunningham's gone and it's been nothing but complete peace, quiet and serenity." Ava said, as she had a gentle smile on her face, as she read her book.

"It is much nicer; I can leave my magazines out in the open, without Randy takin' them, just to gawk at the women swimsuit sections." Julie added, as she looked up and looked at Ava with a smile.

"And I can do my ping-pong ball trick, without Randy staring at me, and looking gasped while I do it!" Kaikaina mentioned, in a happy tone.

A-Bomb smiled, as he nodded, "Heh, yeah..." But then, he quickly turned to looked at her with a shocked expression, with his eyes widen, "... Wait, what?"

Metabee then raised up his arms, as he had a relaxed looked in his eyes, "Ahhh, yeah, it's gonna be a nice, Randy-free week..!" He said, as he was relaxed and puts his hands over the back of his head, he lays back.

But then, from out of nowhere, the sound of a chirping noise was heard, which immediately gets everyone's attention, as A-Bomb, Ava, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee all lifted up their heads at the sound of the chirping.

"What's that is somebody choking on a whistle?" Kaikaina asked, quickly, as she looked around.

Julie then stands up and looked at Kaikaina, "It's just a cicada, Kai," She told her, as she looked around, as the chirping was still going.

Ava closed her eyes, as she shook her head, as she looked annoyed, "Aw, I hate the sounds those bugs make, their chirpings are so annoying!" She complained, as she puts her book down and she and A-Bomb stands up.

A-Bomb then gets down on his knees and looks under the couch, "And then they just fly into your house in the summer with their disgusting little insects wings, while your sleeping and-" A-Bomb stopped talking, mid-sentence, as his eyes widen, as the sound was still going.

Metabee then gets up and stands on the couch, as he looked at his friends, "Guys, it's just a bug,"

Ava then looked at Metabee, "Bee's right, we should just wait for that cicada to just fly out of the SHED." She told her friends,

As A-Bomb, Julie and Kaikaina nodded, while the sound of cicada chirping was still going, and not stopping.

Meanwhile, back in Japan, in the monastery, Randy, Snake Eyes and Kaede were standing under a Japanese pavilion, with Dororo standing before the rest of the students, as they were kneed down, facing their Master,

"Our school has a long and honored history; it was founded in the year 515 AD by the great ninja warrior, Espio The Chameleon..." Dororo said to his students, as he raised his right arm up, to show the statue of Espio The Chameleon.

Randy looked amazed at now knowing the fact that Espio founded the school,

"...Who carved this monastery from the mountain using only this sword..." Dororo said, as he turns to the right and then lifted up a thin box at Randy and opens it,

Revealing a katana with a hilt wrapped in red cloth and a golden tsuba with indentions at the four corners, as it was in its scabbard which was charcoal-black.

"... Harusame, the Sword of Light," Dororo finished talking,

As Randy stares at the katana, as he lifted up his right hand, and moves it to touch the sword,

"No!" A yell was heard from within the students,

Which quickly makes Randy pulls his right hand back, away from Harusame, as he looked nervous, "What?!" Randy yelled, looking a bit scared.

Then a student stands up, he was a young 17 year old man, who was wearing a palm green, sleeveless martial art gi, as his arms had tattoos of a scorpion tail running up them, he had a mask over his head, with yellow lens where his eyes are and a part of the mask that was cut open for his mouth. Attached to his back, was a small scythe, that was attached to a retractable coil,

The young warrior glares at Randy,

"You say too much, Master Dororo, he is an outsider!" The guy said, pointing his right index finger at Randy, as he looked at him, angrily.

Randy then looked at the angry guy, as he smiled nervously, as he held his hands up. "Aw nah, man, it's cool, I'm way good at keepin' secrets..." Randy said, until he shrugged his shoulders, and started to rub his hands together, with a sneaky smile on his face. "... Unless, you know, it's something really juicy."

Dororo then looked at the angry guy, with a serious look in his eyes, "Scorpion, your rudeness dishonors us all." Dororo told the guy, in a serious tone, whose name was actually Scorpion.

"But, Sensei..." Scorpion said, as he looked concerned,

"I warn you, do not dishonor yourself further," Dororo warned his student,

Scorpion then walked into the pavilion, and turned to face Randy, with shameful look on his face.

"Honor guest, I must beg your forgiveness." Scorpion said to Randy, as he bows his head in apology.

Randy then looked at Scorpion, as he had a bit of a calm expression, "Hey, dude, don't worry, with Randy Cunningham, it's nothing but love all around!" Randy said, assuring him that there was nothing to apologize for, as Randy smiled,

As Kaede then finally opens her eyes, revealing a light haze color, as she looked at Randy, and had a smile on her face,

As Randy sees her and smiled back,

A few hours later, it was now night, and inside the monastery, Kaeda was leading Randy and Snake Eyes down the hall, until she stopped and then places her right hand on a screen door and slides it open, revealing a small room.

"This will be your room," Kaede said, with her eyes closed again, and smiling, as Randy and Snake walked into the small room, to inspect it.

Randy then walked over to the walls, and runs his right hand down it, as he looked at it. "Sooo, does the bed flip out from the wall or something?" Randy asked, as he looked a bit confused, as there weren't any beds for him and Snake Eyes to sleep on in the room.

Kaede puts her right hand on her mouth, as she laughed, "Your beds are right there, Randy," Kaede said, as she pointed her right index finger at the floor, that Randy and Snake was standing on.

Signifying that they'll be sleeping on the floor, as it had a soft surface, Snake Eyes then sits down on the floor, crossing his legs, as he immediately knew how this worked.

"You should sleep, Randy, wake-up and class is at 4:00 sharp." Kaede told Randy, as he then laid down on the floor,

As he looked at her, as he lied, "Four... In the afternoon... (Yawn) Yeah, that sounds doable..." Randy said, as he puts his hands behind his head, as he closes his eyes, unaware that she means 4:00 AM in the morning.

Kaede only laughed, as she begins to slide the screen, to close it, "You're funny, Randy, good night," Kaede said, as she closes the screen door completely,

As Randy and Snake Eyes begins to sleep,

Now outside, Kaede was walking across the school, to go to her room,

But, outside of Tiger Lily, on top of one of the mountains near it, standing on top of it, was a group of masked robot ninjas in black costumes, as they were staring at the ninja school, from a far the gang of robot ninjas were a part of the Foot Clan, an evil ninja clan.

But, walking up to the edge of the mountain, was a woman, with jet black hair that ended at her shoulders, demonic yellow eyes, as she was wearing a shoulder guards on both shoulders, pink wrist protectors, a pink armored corset top, and wearing black pants, with a pink thin, loincloth, with a small skull on the belt. As she was also wearing a pink mask that covered her mouth and nose,

This woman name was Mileena, and she stood over the edge of the mountain, as she was glaring at Tiger Lily, with a dark and brooding look in her eyes.

The next morning, a monk banged a large gong, which makes an extremely large sound that went all round Tiger Lily.

In Randy and Snake's room, Randy was in his PJ and fast asleep, until the loud sound of the gong quickly woke him up, as he sprung up and sat up, looked really drowsy.

"Hey, ya, wha, wha..!" Randy said, as his eye-lids were trying to stay open,

Outside of the room, Randy then walks through the screen door, ripping through it, without even trying to slide it.

Some of the other students were quickly running down the hall, while Randy looked at the passing students, as he was a bit more wake now, while he looked a bit confused.

Now outside of the monastery, the class had begun, while Randy and Snake Eyes were running out, with Randy hopping on his left leg, trying to get his right shoe on his foot.

While Dororo was standing in-front of his students, who were all in a square formation,

"Today we begin with the dragon course, be quick, and be silent. Go!" Dororo told his students, as they all quickly went off to do it,

Randy watched, looking a bit helpless, as he didn't know what to do, as the students were all running around. "Hey, wait up!" Randy said,

But then, Dororo quickly jumped up and landed in front of Randy, quickly getting his attention, as he looked down at the alien frog, ninja master.

"That reminds me, Randy; I need you to give me your Ninja mask." Dororo requested of Randy, which shocks him,

"What!?" Randy yelled out, looking shocked and confused,

Dororo looked up on Randy, "Randy, I know that the Ninja mask grants you the speed, stealth and the traits of a ninja, but you will have to learn that, in some situations, you must not rely on the mask, and begin to rely on the man behind the mask." Dororo explained to Randy,

Randy looked at him, with a bit of a hesitating look, before he gives in and reaches his right hand into his pants side pocket and takes out his Ninja mask, he then gives it to Dororo, who takes it,

And then Dororo performs a hang sign and then a huge blast of smoke, explodes around him, as the smoke cleared, Dororo was gone.

Randy looked around and then decided to run up to join some of the students, but a leg comes in and trips Randy's right leg, causing him to fall over and land, face first into a mud puddle.

As it was revealed that it was Scorpion, who tripped him down, as he smiled deviously at the fallen Randy. "Welcome to Tiger Lily, outsider!" Scorpion told Randy, with a smug smile, as he walks off,

While Randy lifted his face from the mud, with an angered and cold scowl on his face.

Randy was now wearing a white training gi, as he and Snake Eyes walked over and saw a class, that had Kaede was in,

As she was now out of her sweater vest and shirt and now in a maroon, sleeveless training gi, as she had bandages on both her forearms, as she had them on her legs, as she was wearing Chinese sandals.

As she, and the other students, all did a pose, and then, they blended in to their surroundings, as if they disappeared.

Randy gasped in amazement, as that was so cool; but then, Snake Eyes did the same pose and immediately blended in to his surroundings.

Randy looked and sees a potted plant, and then did the pose, while grabbing the plant and holds in over his face, as he was falling to blend into his surroundings.

While Dororo stood next to Randy, as he tried in blend in and failing, epically.

Next, a chef was standing in front of a line of students, who were all holding chopsticks, as she was holding a tray full of sushi,

One student steps forward and quickly swung his chopsticks down, as the chef quickly moves the tray, to make him miss, but the student manages to grab a piece of sushi with his chopsticks, to his delight, as he walked on.

As Kaede steps forward and quickly swings her chopsticks down, as the chef quickly moves the tray again, but Kaede grabbed a piece of sushi, and holds it up, as she smiled proudly.

In the line, Randy was standing in-front of Snake Eyes, as Randy was leaning his head to the side, to get a good look at the front, as he was now starting to get the gist of how it worked, he had to snatch the sushi from off the tray.

As the line moved on, and Randy now reached the front, Randy walked up to the chef, as he held his chopsticks with both hands.

Randy then quickly started to swings his chopsticks, all over the place, to grab one piece of sushi, but the chef was too fast for him, as she swiftly moves the tray around, evading all of Randy swings, he stopped to catch his breath, before quickly starting again, and swings as fast as he could.

Randy then stopped, as he drops his arms and frowns in defeat,

Snake Eyes then stepped in, as he was holding his chopsticks in his right hand and then, with four quick swipes of his chopsticks, as the chef quickly moved the tray, Snake Eye then held up his chopsticks, which had four pieces of sushi, poked through with his chopsticks.

Randy was widen eyed, as his jaw was dropped, at seeing Snake managing to snatch four pieces of sushi, when Randy couldn't even get one.

Snake Eyes and the chef then bowed to each other, in respect, which only made Randy quickly get a look of annoyance,

The next class was meditation, as a few of the other students, were sitting on the ground, with their legs crossed, and in deep state of meditation, while Kaede, Snake Eyes and Randy were meditation with them.

Until Randy tilted over to the left and falls asleep, as Kaede and Snake turned to look at the sleeping Randy,

The next class, the students were chopping small logs of wood with their bare hands, as they were chopping them in half.

Kaede then raised her right hand up and tosses it down at a log, chopping it in half,

Randy was standing next to her, as he was observing Kaede, as he quickly knew what do to, as he turned and saw something he could chop in half.

Randy then start to run, at full speed, before leaping up and sticking his left foot out and his foot hits a tree, as he lands on his feet, looking proud,

But then, the tree breaks in half and the top falls towards the monastery, falling on top of it and destroying a good half of it.

After the dust cleared, Randy looked a bit nervous on destroying half of the monastery, while Scorpion laughed at Randy for his blunder, as Dororo had a bit of a disapproving look in his eyes.

Next, Randy and Scorpion were sparring with bo staffs,

As they then toss their staffs and both of them collides, until Scorpion lifted his staff over his head and swung it down, but Randy quickly lifted his staff over his head, and blocks his attack, before Scorpion pulls his staff back and swung it down, towards Randy's legs, only to have Randy, quickly reacting by blocking the attack with his staff.

Randy then tosses his staff down, as Scorpion quickly blocked it, before Scorpion swung his staff at Randy's feet, in a attempt to swipe his legs, but Randy quickly jumped up, dodging Scorpion's attack, as he landed on his feet, Randy then lunges his staff at Scorpion, who quickly jump up and flipped over Randy's head, as he landed behind him, on his feet.

Then, Scorpion began to spin his bo staff, with great speed, as he was spinning it around, before stopping, as he glares coldly at Randy.

Randy looked a bit impressed by that, but he then had a confident smiled, as he quickly began to spin his bo staff, only faster than Scorpion, as he spinning the staff all around his body, until his quickly stops,

But unfortunately for him, all that spinning, the bo staff got caught on his gi, which ripped in off, before Randy stopped, as he was now wearing nothing but his blue spotted underwear,

Randy looked down, and his smile quickly disappears, as he now looked horrified at seeing himself, in his underwear in public.

"Aw, man! In Japan!" Randy cried put in embarrassment, as he puts his staff in-front of him, as he closed his eyes in humiliation.

As Kaede couldn't help but laugh a little at the underwear wearing Randy, while Snake Eyes crossed his arms and shook his head,

One week later, back in Jump City, on the Triskelion island, inside the SHED,

The sound of the cicada chirping was still going, as it has stopped once,

In the living room area, Ava was sitting on the couch, as she eyes were closed, gritting her teeth, and had her hands covering her ears, as the non-stop chirping was getting on her nerves.

"This is crazy, that bug hasn't stop chirping for a week!" Julie complained, as she walked to the living room area, with her hands covering her ears.

While A-Bomb, Metabee and Kaikaina was looking all over the Shed, trying to find the cicada, as Kaikaina was looking upstairs and A-Bomb and Metabee were searching the kitchen.

As A-Bomb was kneeling on the floor, with Metabee, on his back, looking over his left shoulder, as A-Bomb opens one of the cupboards, under the sink, as he checks inside, but the cicada wasn't in there.

"Not in here," A-Bomb said, looking disappointed,

"Grrr! That's it!" Ava yelled out, as she had it, as she gets off the couch and stands up, "T-AI, GET IN HERE!" Ava yelled out, as she held her head up,

As T-AI's holographic projection appears, as she stood in-front of Ava and Julie, 'Yes?' T-AI asked Ava, as she looked a bit concerned on why she yelled out to call her.

Ava puts her hands on her hips, as she gave the hologram a deadly serious, look, "T-AI, I want a full scan of the entirety of the SHED, scan for anything of insect origin." Ava ordered T-AI, wanting her to scan for the cicada, so she could find it.

T-AI then nodded, as she lifted up her head, 'Beginning scan, now,' She said, as she began her scan,

Kaikaina then walked down the stairs and walked over to the living room area, while A-Bomb and Metabee walked out of the kitchen, with Metabee, who was off of A-Bomb's back, and the two of them walked over to the couch to join their friends.

Ava then turned to look at Julie, Kaikaina, A-Bomb and Metabee, "There, in a few seconds, T-AI will have found that cicada, then we can get rid of it and then put this annoying chirping to rest." Ava said, as she had a gentle smile on her face, which made every looked happy,

'There are no signs of insect within the SHED,' T-AI said, as she finished her scans,

Then everybody turned around and looked at the hologram, with looks of shock, "WHAT!?" They yelled out, at the same time, with shock and confusion,

"But... But there has to be cicada in here, how else this there chirping!" Metabee yelled out in confused,

But T-AI closed her eyes, as she shook her head, 'I did a full scan of the whole SHED, there were no detections of any cicada or any other insect life at all.' T-AI explained,

Julie groan with great depression, as the chirping was still going, "We'll never get any sleep if that thing still chirping!" Julie cried, in frustration,

Kaikaina then raised up her right hand, getting everyone's attention, "I think we all know what to do to find this bug..." Kaikaina said, calmly, before she quickly pulls her twin blasters from their holsters on her belt and turned around and aimed them at the wall. "SMASH THE PLACE AND WE SMASH THE BUG WITH IT!" She screamed, out,

As Kaikaina started shooting at the wall, tearing it apart, as she ran towards it,

A-Bomb, Ava, Julie, Metabee and T-AI just stared at her, with confused look on their faces, but Metabee then gets a calm look in his eyes, as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, her plan's not that crazy," He mentioned, as Kaikaina plan to smash up the SHED and in turn, smash the cicada along with it wasn't that crazy,

Meanwhile, back in Japan, in Tiger Lily, it was now night, and after a hard and painful day of training, Randy was struggling to walk, with him beaten, bruised and stiff, sore muscles.

But Kaede had her hands on his back, helping him walk,

"Ow, ow, owwww! Not so fast!" Randy told Kaede, as he was in pain, as they stopped, as he looked at Kaede, "K, maybe I ain't cut out of this 'Ninja school' thing, I mean, I can do anything a ninja can, when I'm wearing my Ninja mask, but without, I'm just... a normal guy..." Randy said, explaining the reason he can do all the things he does this because the Ninja mask gives him, his ninja ability and powers.

Kaede had a look of concern for Randy, "I know it's been harder for you than Snake Eyes." She mentioned, as she and Randy turned to see Snake Eyes,

As the black masked ninja was on his knees, under a tree, in a deep trance of meditation, but then, Snake Eyes' head tilted up as he then, quickly stood up and unsheathe his katana from the scabbard on his back and then, with great speed, the masked ninja leaped up, towards the tree branches.

In mid-air, Snake Eyes then slashed and swung his katana at the apples that were on the branches around him, with great speed, and with those slashes, slices every apple off their branches.

Snake Eyes lands on his feet, sheathe his sword back into its scabbard, as the apples lands around him, as it them falling apart into apple slices upon impact, as Snake Eyes get back down on his knees and continued with his meditation.

Kaede then looked back at Randy, "But you shouldn't just give up, Randy, like Sensei Dororo would say, 'Even the mighty river was once a stream'." Kaede said, quoting of what Dororo said to her, as she smiled at Randy.

But Randy was less than convinced, as he frowned, "But I'm just a little trickle..." Randy said, depressed, as he and Kaede kept walking, towards the monastery.

Now inside the monastery, Randy and Kaede was walking down the hall, to Randy and Snake's room,

"You shouldn't put yourself down like that, 'cause you don't believe in yourself," Kaede said as they stopped walking as they were outside of Randy and Snake's door. "I believe in you," Kaede said, with a happy smile,

As she then give Randy a hug of motivation, which catches Randy by surprise, as his face had a shock expression and his eyes were widened, from Kaede's hug.

Kaede then released Randy from the hug, as she smiled at him, "Good night," Kaede said, as she turned around to walk away, leaving Randy standing there.

As he's shocked expression then changed into a calm and cool look, as he was happy that a beautiful and hot 18 year girl hugged him and said she believes in him. "Ahhh, that's what I'm talkin' about..." Randy said, with a smug and cool smile on his face,

As Randy then turned to his door and slides the screen door, as he then entered his room, and closed the door behind him,

Inside the room, Randy's shadow was seen from outside, as he was pumping his fists in the air,

"YEEAAAAH-HA! I LOVE THIS PLACE!" Randy yelled out in happiness,

A few hours later, as all of the students were in their room, sleeping,

Outside, by the walls that was surrounding Tiger Lily, a couple of grappling hooks were tossed from the other side and hooked on to the top, and climbing over the wall, into the school, was Mileena, as a few Footbots climbed over as well, as they walked towards the main monastery.

Mileena then stopped, as she pointed her right index finger at the monastery, as the Footbots then quickly and silently sprinted inside the building, while Mileena had an evil look in her eyes,

Meanwhile, inside Randy and Snake Eyes' room, Randy was in his PJ, as he was laying on the floor, with a blanket over him, while Snake Eyes was sitting on the floor, with his legs crossed, while Randy smiled at the silent, masked ninja.

"Ah, Snake, I'm tellin' ya, I'm gonna sleep like a baby tonight!" Randy told Snake Eyes, with a big smile on his face.

Snake Eyes just looked at him, before Randy sees him look at him, as Randy quickly sits up and gives Snake Eyes, an annoyed expression.

"And before you think it, NO! I don't mean waking up every two hours, hugging myself, while I cry for my mommy!" Randy pointed out, as he lies back on the floor, as he and Snake was now about to fall asleep.

But then, a bell was being rung, while quickly wakes Randy up, as he gets up and ran through the screen door again, as he was half asleep.

"Eh, wha... I'm up, I'm up! Alright, first to dragon course! I'm there!" Randy said, as his eyes were closed, as he was half asleep, as he ran down the hall, as he thinks it was the training bell, as Snake Eyes was following him.

Now outside, in the middle of the school, Randy was now wake, and still in his PJ, as he and Snake Eyes looked around, wondering where everyone was, as the bell was still ringing.

"Where the juice is everyone?" Randy asked, as he looked confused,

But then, running up to Randy and Snake Eyes, was Kaede, as she had a look of shock on her face,

"It's the alarm, someone stole the Harusame!" Kaede told Randy and Snake, as they turned to look at the ninja girl,

Randy gasped in shock, that someone stole the sacred katana,

The next day, it was the afternoon, as sitting on a bench was Dororo, as he had the case that the Harusame was in, before it was taken.

Walking up from behind the alien frog ninja master was Randy, as he was in his training gi, as he had a concerned look on his face.

"Randy, sit," Dororo told Randy, in a calm tone of voice,

Randy then walked over and sat down, next to Dororo, as he looked at him, "Look, if this is about the damages to the school..." Randy said, looking a bit worried,

"I wish for your help in recovering the Harusame." Dororo told Randy, as he turned his head to look up to him,

Randy now looked confused, "Wait, my help? Sensei, I don't know if you notice, I've been literally flunking every class since I got here." Randy mentioned, as he didn't know why Dororo wanted him to get the katana back.

Dororo then gets off the bench as he turned to face Randy, "The Harusame is no ordinary katana, in the wrong hands, it could be very dangerous." Dororo explained to him, as he reaches his right hand over the top and pulls out something from inside the case.

The thing was a shuriken, with an insignia of a right foot on the face of it,

Randy gets off the bench and knees down and takes the shuriken from Dororo, as he takes a good look at it, and Randy quickly recognized the insignia.

"The Foot Clan, they were the ones who stole it!" Randy said, with a serious look on his face, as he stands up,

"With the Harusame in their positions, the Foot Clan, their now more powerful than ever before, the katana in the wrong hand I fear for us all." Dororo mentioned to Randy,

"And when there's the Foot that means Mileena's in on it..." Randy said, looking serious,

Dororo then looked up on Randy, "You were not chosen to come to Tiger Lily just for you to train... Espio, the ninja master who founded our school, had an ally who would later be a great hero himself, he would gain a mask that would grant him great powers, as he would be known as the Ninja." Dororo explained,

Which made Randy widen his eyes in surprise, as he looked at him, "What? Wait, are you talking about... The First Ninja..?" He said, as he looked amazed, as the First Ninja was the one who started the age of The Ninja, with the Ninja mask being passed down from generation to generation, all the way down to Randy.

"With the help of the First Ninja, using forging and magic, the Harusame was created, since then there have been many individuals who have been exposed to the mystical Ninja mask power... Many before you and with it, ending at... You... Randy, you and the Harusame are connected by destiny." Dororo explained to Randy,

While Randy looked extremely conflicted on how he plays a part in all this,

"This is gotta be a mistake, Sensei; I can't even get a one stinkin' piece of sushi from the ninja lunch lady without my Ninja mask, look, I wish I could help." Randy said, as he looked concerned,

"Randy, fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of your choosing, but I cannot force you to go, do as your heart tells you." Dororo tells him,

While Randy looked a bit worried, "Can you hear it, too?" He said,

A few hours later, in Randy's room, Randy had finished packing up his things, as Snake Eyes was standing outside, waiting for him,

"Excess Fringing are totally out and so am I," Randy said, as he hung his bag over his right shoulder, "Come on, Snake," He said,

As Randy walks out of his room, and he and Snake Eyes started walking,

Walking to the entrance of Tiger Lily, Randy and Snake Eyes were now standing by it, as they looked around,

"Kaede?" Randy said, as he looked for Kaede, as he wants to say goodbye to her before he and Snake leaves.

"I am saddened to say that Kaede is missing." Dororo said, as he walked up to the two of them.

Randy and Snake Eyes then turned t and looked down at the alien frog, with Randy having a shock look on his face,

"Missing?! Missing, how?" Randy said, concerned for Kaede,

"Since you refused to the task of recovering the Harusame, she seized the honor." Dororo told them,

Now, standing before the trail that lead up the mountain, Randy, Snake Eyes and Dororo were standing at the foot of the trail, as there were many footprints on the ground.

"Her footprints, the ground here tells the story... a great struggle, many warriors..." Dororo said,

"... And only one Kaede..." Randy finished, looking serious, knowing that Kaede was ambushed by Foot bots and was she was taken up the mountain.

Dororo looked up at the sunset between some mountains, as he shielded his eyes with his right hand, "The hour grows late, Randy. You have a plane to catch." He mentioned to Randy, reminding him that he was about to leave.

But Randy had a deadly serious look on his face, as he turned to look at Snake Eyes, "I'm gonna miss that plane." He said, proclaiming that he wasn't leaving if a friend of his was in danger.

Quickly returning to Tiger Lily, Randy was now in his room, as he opens a closet, and sees a black ninja uniform, as he grabbed it, and puts it on.

After Randy finished putting on his ninja suit, he turned to look at his bag, as he sees the Ninja mask, sitting inside, he looked at him, knowing that if he had that, he could easily defeat Mileena and the Foot and save Kaede.

But he remember that Kaede said that she believe in him, that he could be a great ninja without his Ninja mask, if she believe in him, it was time that Randy start believing in himself.

As Randy picks up his bag and puts it in the closet, closing it, with Ninja mask inside.

Randy quickly puts a normal ninja mask over his head, as he grabbed a bo staff and turned to look at Snake Eyes,

"Come on, Snake, let's go kick some ninja-bot butt!" Randy said, as he had a serious look in his eyes,

As Randy quickly jumped out of his room, performing perfect spinning with his staff, but it was ruined, when Randy pulled his staff up and accidentally hits himself in the face.

"OW!" Randy yelled out in pain, as he had his eyes closed in pain, as he lowers his staff in his left hand, as he puts his right hand on where the staff hit him on his face.

Now outside, Randy and Snake Eyes were running towards the entrance,

"Outsider, wait!" Scorpion said, as he ran up to them, as they stopped and sees him,

Randy had an annoyed look in his eyes, as he reaches his right hand over his head and pulls off his ninja mask, as he looked at Scorpion. "Look, dude, I really don't have time for your attitude right now." Randy told him, looking serious,

Scorpion had a calm expression on his face, "Allow me the honor of going with you." He said, as he bowed to Randy,

Randy now had a bit of a calculating look on his face, "Well, I'm suppose we could need someone who knows the area." He said, before quickly getting a serious look on his face again.

"But let's get one thing straight, when it comes to saving the beautiful, hot girl and sweeping her off her feet and winning her affections, you leave that honor to me, got it?" Randy told Scorpion, as he wanted to be the one to save Kaede and sweep her off her feet and make her fall for him.

Scorpion sighed, "As you wish, outsider, as you wish..." He said, as he, Randy and Snake Eyes all begin to run, leaving Tiger Lily and now heading to the mountain.

A few hours later, now getting to a higher point of the mountain, Randy, Snake Eyes and Scorpion were now at a snow point, as they followed up the trail.

The trio was now walking down the path, as there were many pools of steaming hot water.

Randy takes a look at the pools of hot water, "Man, up here, you could either get frostbite or heat stroke..." Randy said, as the heat of the steaming pools were making him sweat a bit,

"Volcanic hot springs, many seek their healing abilities." Scorpion tells Randy, as he and Randy stopped walking,

Snake Eyes walked over to one of the pools and looked at the steaming water, and sees his reflection in it, as some bubbles were around it.

Scorpion took a good look at the trail, "I'll scout out ahead and see how far this trail leads." Scorpion told Randy, as he then turned to give him a serious look, "Watch my back." He told him,

Randy quickly leaped up, jumping over Scorpion and lands on the snowy ground, as he held his bo staff, "Consider it watched, dude!" Randy said, as he spun his staff over his head, and then hits the branch of a tree.

As the tree shakes, Randy stood there, with a serious scowl on his face, as he held his staff over his head, but then, a large amount of snow falls off the tree and fall on Randy.

"Outh!" Randy said, as his serious scowl quickly changed into a surprised look, as his eyes were widen,

As Randy still stood there, covered in a ton of snow, Scorpion walked passed him, with a bit of a disappointed frown on his face as he avoided eye contact with Randy.

But as Scorpion was now gone, hiding behind some snow, was a couple of Footbots, as they sees, the unaware Randy and Snake Eyes,

Randy then steps out of the snow, shaking some snow off of himself, "Snake! Sna-" Randy was calling out for Snake Eyes, but as he's eyes were opened, Randy looked around himself and to his shock. He was surrounded by Footbots.

"Aw, Mount Fuji!" Randy complained in annoyance,

As the Footbots leaps out to attack Randy, but Randy quickly swings his bo staff behind him, and hits a Footbot, knocking it away from him,

"Why am I always getting attacked by things that wanna kill me? Why can't I ever be attacked by ninja-loving, bikini wearing, Swedish supermodels?!" Randy yelled out, complaining, as he kept fighting the ninja robots.

As Randy tosses his staff upward, to block a Footbot's kick, and knocking it away, as Randy quickly swung the staff backwards, which hits another Footbot, that was about to attack Randy from behind, was knocked back, as Randy then leaps up and jumps over another Footbot, dodging its attack.

As Randy lands, with his hands, and quickly ducked his body down, dodging two Footbots, as they leaped up and tackled into each other,

Randy then gets back up and manages to block punch, kick and blow with his staff, with great speed and reflexes, Randy was then about to attack a Footbot, as he then held up his bo staff, but another one came up from behind him and grabbed on to his staff as well, quickly acting, Randy jumped up, and delivers a double kick to the Footbot in-front of him and he flips over the Footbot that was behind him, and lands perfectly, and swings his staff up, swinging the Footbot with it, which made it let go and was sent flying.

Randy then began to spin his staff around, perfectly, before finishing with a battle pose,

Randy then looked down and sees himself, as he then smiled, "Hey, not too shabby! Check me out!" Randy said, looking cocky, as the ninja training was actually sunk in, as he was amazed and impressed that he was about to fend off with Footbots, without the help of his Ninja mask.

But Randy then looked around and he then gashed in shock, as he was now surrounded by more Footbots, as Randy looked around, with a slightly scared look on his face, as he couldn't fight all of them.

But then, from up above, Snake Eyes falls from the air and lands his feet on Randy's back, which knocks Randy down, as he lands, face first into the snow, as Snake quickly unsheathe his katana and with great speed, he slashes it all around the surrounding Footbots, as he swung his katana at a full 360, he then sheathe his sword back into scabbard, slowly.

And when he puts it back completely, all the surrounding Footbots upper bodies were falling off their lower bodies, as the sliced in half robots were now destroyed and falling into the snowy ground.

With the Footbots destroyed, Snake Eyes then gets off of Randy, as he pushes himself back up on his feet, as he was covered in snow, as he had an annoyed look on his face, as he stared at Snake Eyes.

"Phooy!" Randy spat out some snow that got in his mouth, as he kept staring coldly (A/N: No pun intended) at Snake. "I understand the vow of silence, man, but seriously, give a guy an little warning, before you land on him!" Randy told Snake Eyes, as shook off the snow.

"Outsider, this way!" The sound of Scorpion's voice get Randy and Snake's attention, as the two of them looked up and sees Scorpion, as he was standing on top of a hill,

Now making it into the mountain, Randy, Snake Eyes and Scorpion were now inside the mountain, as they were in a cave that was illuminated by rivers of molten lava, as they were walking, Randy took a good look at the river of lava.

The trio then stopped once they reached a fork in the road, as they come across two individual tunnels that splits off from each other in different directions.

Scorpion turned to look at Randy and Snake Eyes, "We'll cover more ground if we split up," He told the two, as he walked on, into one of the tunnels,

Randy and Snake Eyes turn to look at each other, before the two of them then walked into the other tunnel.

As they walked deeper into the tunnel, the echo of an evil laughter quickly gets their attention, as they both quickly got into a readied stance, as they were prepared for a fight.

Randy and Snake Eyes then followed the sound of the laughter, until the reach a corner, as they two of them, peaks their heads over it, to look at where the laughing was coming from.

They see, from a far, Mileena, as she was standing on a tall rock, holding up the Harusame, as she had a large group of Footbots all around her, as she laughed evilly,

"At last... the ultimate weapon is where it belongs!" Mileena said, joyous, as she then takes the Harusame, and with one, powerful swing, she slashed the katana at a large rock, which slices it, clean in half, as a demonstration of the Harusame.

Without Mileena or the Footbots knowing, Randy and Snake Eyes sneak up and quickly gets behind another rock, to get a better look,

"Randy, Snake!" The sound of Kaede's voice was heard, as Randy and Snake Eyes turned and saw Kaede, as she was tied up to a stalagmite, with some chains, as she was facing them, smiling as she was happy to see them.

Randy and Snake Eyes quickly sneaked over to her, as Snake Eyes unsheathe his katana and with one quickly slash, he breaks Kaede's chains, freeing her, Randy helps her on her feet.

"Come on, we gotta find Scorpion and make a plan to get the Harusame back!" Randy told Kaede, as he was about to run off to do that,

But Kaede was shocked to hear that, "Scorpion?! No, he was the one who told Mileena the location of the Harusame, he betrayed us!" Kaede explained to Randy, as she had a disgusted frown on her face, as she crosses her arms.

But Randy looked confused on what she just said, being told that Scorpion is working with Mileena. "What, but he is the one who led us down here...! So, that means this whole thing was..."

"A trap!" The sound of Mileena's voice finished Randy's sentence, as Randy, Kaede and Snake Eyes all turned and saw that Mileena was standing before them, with the Footbots, as Scorpion was leaning on a wall, with a smug grin on his face.

"Sorry, outsider (!)" Scorpion told Randy, as he smiled evilly, proud of himself for leading Randy and Snake Eyes into a trap.

Then the Footbots surrounded Randy, Kaede and Snake Eyes, cornering them, as Mileena was walking up to them,

"You and I are the only people who possess the power to control the Harusame, but after I kill you ...there will be only me..." Mileena told Randy, darkly, as she held up the Harusame.

As Randy looked a little scared on what was happening right now,

A few hours later,

Randy and Kaede was now in a steel cage, that was being hanged over a pool of lava, as the cage was being held by a chain, while Snake Eyes was in his own separate cage, as he was on his knees and in a deep meditation.

Standing on the ground near the lava, was Mileena, as she had the Harusame tied to her belt, as she stares at her caged captives. "I believe we're now at the moment of me, watching you dip and burn to nothing (!)" Mileena told them, in a mocking tone of voice,

As she turned to look at Scorpion, who was near a crank wheel, that was connected to the chains that was holding Randy, Kaede and Snake Eyes' cages. Scorpion then started to turn the wheel, which started to lower Randy, Kaede and Snake Eyes down, towards the lava.

Randy was holding on to his bars, as he had a nervous look on his face, as he needed to think of something to get him, Kaede and Snake Eyes free or they're as good as dead, quickly thinking off the top of his head, Randy turned to look at Scorpion.

"You should really think about what you're doing, Scorpion, this could be a really bad career choice for you, man." Randy said to Scorpion, with a look of concerned.

Scorpion stopped turning the wheel, which stopped the cages from being lowered, as he looked at Randy, with a suspicious look on his face. "How, so, outsider?" He asked him, as he wanted to know why he would say that.

"I mean how's this gonna look on your transcripts? You know; all this evil henchmen stuff is seriously gonna effect your credible and keep you from gettin' into a good ninja college." Randy tells him, which makes Scorpion have a look of realization as he was right.

Scorpion then turned to look at Mileena, with a bit of a worried look, "But I was hoping the gain early admission..." He said, as he was hoping to get applied earlier in the year for college.

But Mileena had a bit of annoyed looked in her eyes, as she then rolled them, "Don't worry, I'll write you a letter of recommendation…" She said to Scorpion, as she walked towards the caged heroes, as she stopped and looked at them. "…By then I'll have led an army of ninja into battle under the power of the Harusame!" Mileena yelled, as takes the katana out and held it up in her right hand, "The world will bow to me, making me its supreme ruler!"

Mileena started laughing evilly, while Scorpion continued to turn the wheel, which lowers Randy, Kaede and Snake Eyes' cages down to the lava.

As the bottom of Randy and Kaede's cage now touches the lava, which made the metal steam,

Randy looked annoyed, "Oh, she thinks she's a smart dictator..!" Randy said, annoyed, as he turned to look at Kaede,

Kaede hung her head in shame, as she was sadden, "I'm sorry it's going to end like this, Randy…" She said, ashamed.

Randy then lean his head towards her, as he gave Kaede a confident smile, "It's not over yet, K. I'm like a cat with nine lives…" He said, as he was moving his body around like a martial artist, as Randy quickly moved in and grabbed on to the cage's bars, as he kept smiling, "I- Owwww!" Randy was about to say something but was cut off, as he had a look of pain.

As Randy quickly let's go of the bars and started hopping on his left foot, as he held up his right foot, his shoe was on fire, due to it touching the molten lava, that as spreading on the floor. "Owwwwww! Hot! Hot! Ow! Hot! Hot!" Randy yelled in pain, while Kaede looked worried,

Randy was blowing on the fire on his right foot, which extinguished it, with the fire out, Randy sighs in relief, as he sets his foot down, puts on a straight face. "As I was saying, I may have failed every class in Tiger Lily…" Randy said, before quickly walking to the bars and grabbing on to them, with a confident smile.

"Mileena didn't know she caged up someone who aced every class!" Randy smiled,

Inside of Snake Eyes' cage, his head quickly tiled up, as he then, with one powerful right chop, he breaks the bars to his cage and he leaps out, towards the ground, as he quickly moved in and reaches Mileena, as he grabbed the Harusame from her belt and pulled off of her.

Mileena quickly turned and saw Snake Eyes take the katana, "The Harusame!" She yelled in shock, as her eye were widen in shock,

As Snake Eyes then unsheathe his katana and then held both his katana in his left hand and the Harusame in his right, as he was duel wielding both swords, prepare for a fight,

"That ninja has mastered the teachings of Tiger Lily! Footbots, get him!" Mileena yelled out, ordering the Footbots, as they charges in, at Snake Eyes,

Snake quickly leap into battle, as he swung his right katana down, slicing off the head of one Footbot, as he lands and performs a roll, and when he gets back up, he jumped up and delivers a double foot kick, hitting another Footbot in the chest, knocking it back, Snake Eyes then sees three more Footbots, surrounding him, as he then quickly, holding up the blades of both swords and spinning in a full 360 spin, he slices the Footbots to pieces.

"Uh, Snake, don't wanna rush ya, but we're runnin' out of cage over here!" Randy complained, as he and Kaede were holding themselves up with the bars, as a good half of the cage was in the lava, as the cage was still being lowered.

With most of the Footbots sliced to pieces, Snake Eyes then quickly sprints to the crank wheel, but only to have Scorpion stand in-front of it, as he was ready for a fight with Snake Eyes, as he held a bo staff.

But when Snake reaches him, he quickly delivers an upper slash with both swords, slicing Scorpion's staff in half, leaving him staring at his sliced staff, as he looked speechless, only to have him look up and see Snake Eyes, who leaps out and delivers a right kick, hitting him square in the face, knocking him down to the ground.

Snake then quickly ran to the crack wheel and quickly starts turning it the other way, which pulls Randy and Kaede's cage up, away from the lava, just when they were so close to touching the lava, as half of the cage was gone, due to it being melted.

Snake Eyes then quickly ran to the wall and jumped up at it, and lands his feet on it, as he jumps off of it, towards Randy and Kaede's cage and raised up the Harusame, and swings it down at the cage, breaking it into pieces, as Randy, Kaede and Snake Eyes falls to the ground, landing on it safely.

Snake Eyes then hands the Harusame to Randy, as he takes it and smiles at Snake Eyes, "Good job, buddy!" Randy complimented him, as Snake Eyes lifted up his right hand and gave Randy a thumbs-up.

Randy then held the katana with both hands, as he had a smug smile on his face, as he looked at Mileena, "Ha! Who's da' Ninja, Now (?)" He told her, mocking her.

Mileena growled with anger, "They must not escape!" She yelled out, as the rest of the Footbots charges in, to attack the trio.

Kaede quickly reached her hands behind her, and pulled out kunais and held them in-between her fingers and swiftly tossing, the kunais and fly and hits the Footbots, all in the head, breaking and causing them to shut off.

Snake Eyes turned and looked at a wall, he quickly ran up to it, and with one powerful slash, Snake slashes the wall, with his katana, which causes lava to pour out of the slash.

The lava was pour, spreading quickly; Mileena looks around and sees that lava started to burst out from the other wall, she turned and she and the rest of the Footbots, quickly leaps up and lands on top of a tall rock, as the lava was now all over the ground.

As the lava was pour from everywhere and rising, Kaede quickly grabbed Randy's shoulder and she, Snake Eyes and Randy quickly ran, to the exit, just managing to escape, while Mileena watches them escape, as she narrows her eyes, in rage.

Now escaping out of the mountain, Randy, Kaede and Snake Eyes, as they looked down at the downward slope,

"They'll be coming for us; we won't be able to reach the bottom of the mountain with them behind us." Kaede said, looking worried,

Randy then held up the Harumaru, as he gets any idea. "Let's see what this sacred sword can do," He said, as he quickly walked up to a large rock and starts slashing the katana at it, breaking and slicing it apart, until there was nothing but a bit, wide dish.

Randy and Snake Eyes then both lifted it up and moved it towards the edge, Randy then turn to look at Kaede, "Get on," He told her, as he, Snake and Kaede quickly gets on the dish, as it tilted down and quickly slid down the mountain, as great speeds.

The trio was sliding down the mountain, avoiding trees, rocks and making narrow curve turnings, from a far; they see a bridge made out of ice, up head, as it was over a bottomless gorge.

"The ice bridge, we'll be home-free once we cross it!" Kaede said, as she held on to the dish,

But unknown to them, at the ice bridge, was Scorpion, who sees them coming, and quickly turned to look at the ice bridge, and with one strong right kick, hitting the bridge, it cranks and breaks apart, as all the pieces falls into the bottomless gorge.

Still sliding towards it, Randy and Kaede gasped in shock, as now see the bridge destroyed, and that they were still heading towards the gorge, the trio then quickly shifted their weight and the dish lost its balance, as Randy, Kaede and Snake Eyes fall of it and lands safely in the snow, but Randy also dropped the Harumaru, as the katana lands on the snow.

Randy was laying, face first, in the snow, as he lifted up his head, and sees the Harumaru, just near him, but then a shadow appear and shades him, as Randy turned his head and looked up, standing before him was Mileena and Scorpion.

"I grow impatient! Give me the katana, and I may let you live long enough to see me conquer the Earth!" Mileena told Randy, coldly threating him,

But Randy only glared at her, as he quickly gets up, "Never..." He told her, as he quickly picks up the Harumaru and holds it with both hands, as he had a confident and smug smile on his face. "There is no way you gonna get your hands on this sword, nuh-uh, nope, no way, no happen, not no way, not no-"

But then Scorpion swung his left hand and smacks the Harumaru out of Randy's hands, as it hits the ground and starts to slide downward, towards the gorge, Randy and Scorpion sees this and they both quickly ran after it, while also shoving each other as they ran, the Harumaru reaches the edge of the gorge and falls off it, just before Randy and Scorpion leapt out to grab it.

The Harumaru falls into the bottomless gorge and disappears into the dark abyss.

"The Harumaru!" Mileena screamed in shock, as she ran to the edge and falls to her knees, putting her hands on the back of her head, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" She screamed out at the fact of the Harumaru was now gone.

Mileena then turned to face Randy, as she was breathing heavily, as her eyes were filled with total, blinding rage, as she was angered that it was Randy's fault.

Randy sees how angry Mileena was, he quickly gets back up on his feet, and had a nervous smile on his face, "OK, you got good reasons to be angry, I'd be pretty steamed too if I lost my own tool of world domination over a bottomless gorge as well, but I just wanna point out that HE was the one who knocked it out of my hands, so in realty, HE did it!" Randy said, as he pointed his left index finger at Scorpion, trying to pin the blame on him.

Mileena was growling with rage, "KILL THEM ALL!" She screamed out, ordering the Footbots,

The Footbots was ready to attack Randy, Kaede and Snake Eyes, but before they could attack, a sound of a horn was heard, which gets the attention of everyone, as they turned to look up a hill, on top of the hill, was Dororo and the rest of the ninja students, as he was blowing a war-horn.

Kaede opens her eyes, as she smiled broadly at see them, "Sensei Dororo!" She said, as they were here to help them,

At seeing Dororo and the rest of the students, Randy started doing a victory dance, as he smiled smugly.

Randy: Aw, yeah! We bad! Yo' sad! We bad! Yo' sad!

Mileena watches Randy dance around her, which annoyed her greatly, "Let's just BRING IT! SHALL WE?!" She screamed in rage, as her right eye was now twitching with irritation.

Then, all the students charges in to battle the Footbots, as they were all fighting each other,

While Mileena takes out two dual welding sais and charges at Dororo, as the Ninja sensei quickly drew out his Katana and quickly leaps out at her, as they blades clashed with each other, as they pushed each other back, before Dororo leaps up again and his and Mileena's blades clash again.

A group of Footbots were charge towards Kaede, who quickly jumped up and lands her right foot on one Footbot's face, as she then begins to run across their faces, until she reached the last Footbot, and then performs a somersault and lands behind them, then Kaede reaches her right hand around her back, and pulls out something for out of her belt, as it was a giant, four bladed shuriken, that was bigger the Kaede, as she held it behind her, holding it with her right hand.

Kaede then begin to spin her back around, swinging the giant shuriken in a horizontal angle, as she spun around a high speed, until she tosses go of the shuriken at the group of Footbots, as it was spinning an extremely fast, as it reaches and the blades cuts and slices all the Footbots to pieces, as it flew into them, destroying them.

The giant shuriken then flew upward and falls to the ground, as Kaede quickly catches it before it could hit the ground, as she held it behind her.

Meanwhile, Randy and Scorpion was fight each other, one on one, as Randy had a serious scowl on his face, as he and Scorpion stared at each other, as Scorpion was spinning his scythe on it's rope in his right hand.

"Face it, outsider, without your Ninja mask, you are nothing!" Scorpion told Randy, as he smiled mockingly,

As he then tosses his scythe at Randy, but Randy dodged by tilting his head to the left, as he kept that scowl on his face, Scorpion then pulls his scythe back and then tosses it at him, as Randy quickly ducked backward, dodging it, then Scorpion pulls his scythe back again and then lifted up his left foot and tosses a kick at him, but Randy quickly ducked down and crouched on his knees, as he swung his right leg, swiping Scorpion's legs, which knocks him down to the ground, as Randy quickly does a kip up and gets back on his feet.

Randy then does a battle stance, as he looked at Scorpion, "Sometime, you gotta rely on the man behind the mask..." Randy told Scorpion, to intimate him.

Scorpion gritted his teeth in anger, as he then leaps out, to tackle Randy, but Randy quickly ducked under him and plants both hands under his belly and lifted him up with all his strength, as he then tosses Scorpion, sending him tumbling and ending up with him, on his belly, under a edge of a small cliff to a small hill, that had icicles on the top.

Randy then closed his eyes, as he took a deep breath, as he concentrate his Chi in his whole body, into his right fist, as he lifted it up and aimed it at the ground, "Randy… Punch!" Randy yelled out, as he sends his fist down, smashing it to the ground, which caused the ground to shake from it.

This made the icicles on the underbelly of the cliff shake and fall off, landing on the ground, falling around Scorpion, making an ice based jail.

Randy walked up to his defeat foe, as Scorpion looked up at Randy, as he had an accomplished smile.

"Ha-haa! It was my honour to defeat you!" Randy said, as he bowed at Scorpion, as he then turns SD, as he then gives a big grin on his face, as he held up his right hand, making the peace sign.

Mileena looked around and sees that near half of the Footbots were destroyed, and if the fight kept going, she'll be the only one lift to fight them.

"Retreat!" Mileena told the Footbots, as she and they begin to run away, running up the hills and disappearing on the other side.

After the battle was finished, and Scorpion was taking to S.H.I.E.L.D. custody, Randy, Snake Eyes, Kaede, Dororo and the rest of the students were walking across the rope bridge to Tiger Lily, as it was now dawn.

As they were walking, Randy turned to look down at Dororo, "Sensei, I'm sorry that I failed to get the Harumaru, not to mention, lose it." Randy said, looking ashamed for his failure.

But Dororo stopped walking, as he turned to look up on Randy, "Randy, as long as your heart with always be a messenger of light and good, the Harumaru will return to you," Dororo tells Randy, as he turned to hold up his right hand at the mountains, "Call it back to you."

Randy looked confused at being told that he has the power to call the Harumaru back to him, walked over to the ropes. "Call it? But, I mean, how...?" Randy was about to ask how he could do it, but stopped as he realized that he was the one who had to figure it out.

Randy then smiled broadly, as he held both his arms out, "Uh… Here Harumaru, (Whistles) here boy!" Randy said, threating the Katana was a dog.

But then, the wind starts blowing into Randy, as he squinted his eyes, at the wind, but then, from the mountains, flying towards them, was the Harumaru, as it was flying towards Randy, as he closed his eyes and smiled, as if he was at perfect peace and connection to the universe.

But when the Harumaru reaches Randy, instant of flying into his hands, the katana flies passed him, snagging on to Randy's ninja uniform, ripping it off him, revealing Randy's underwear, as he quickly looked down in shock.

As the Harumaru kept flying, until it smashes into the walls of Tiger Lily, smashing through it, destroying the walls completely.

Randy then quickly covered himself, as he smiled with embarrassment, "Aw, my bad! I can pay for that, really, go ahead and just put that on my tab…" Randy said, as he smiled awkwardly.

Two weeks later, the time had come for Randy and Snake Eyes to leave Tiger Lily and return to Jump City.

As Randy was wearing his normal clothes again, and he, Snake Eyes and Dororo were standing at the entrance of the school.

Dororo was holding a case, which had the Harumaru inside, "You have done a great gratitude, Randy Cunningham, and Tiger Lily will always remember you as a warrior hero." Dororo told Randy, with gratitude in his voice.

Randy smiled, as he pumped his right fist, "Aw, yeah! Just wait 'til the guys back home, hears about this!" Randy said, as he was gonna tell his friends that he saved the world and he hoped that'll make them quit giving him the cold shoulder.

"But the true nature of the ninja school must be kept secret." Dororo told Randy,

Which made him stop smiling and replace it with a confused look on his face, "What?" He said,

"You must never tell anyone of your adventure here, not ever." Dororo told Randy, sounding serious,

Randy looked disappointed, "Aw… man…" He said, as he frowned,

"We should get going." The sound of Kaede's voice was heard, as Randy and Snake Eyes turned and saw Kaede, as she was wearing her normal clothes and had some bags with her

Randy looked confused on why she was wearing her normal clothes and had bags, "Uh, what's going on?" He asked,

"Kaede had decided that she wishes to go with you, back to Jump City, to join your team." Dororo tells Randy, which catches him by surprise.

Kaede smiled, "After the three weeks we've been together, I realized that I've got a vibe telling me that you and your friends are where the real fun is, I mean… If you let me," Kaede said, asking to join S.P.D.

Randy stared at her for a minute, before smiling, "Yeah, totally!" He said, as he was excited about another girl joining the team.

Kaede smiled widely, "And I hope you'll teach me some new moves as well." She said,

Randy chuckled a bit, "Hey, come on, you've got a ton of experience, K." Randy said, as he smiled,

"Well, you only have a year of experience then me," Kaede mentioned,

Randy smiled lowered at bit, as he was getting confused, "Heh… What'd you mean by that..?" He asked,

"Cause you're a year older than me, I am only 15, after all." Kaede tells Randy, saying her age.

Randy's smile completely drops to a shocked look, as his eyes widen in shock at hearing Kaede say that she's 15 years old, even though she have the body of an 18 year old.

"Wha, WHAT?!" Randy said, looking completely stupefied,

A few days later, after the trip back to Jump City, Snake Eyes returned back to Wildcat's Gym,

Randy and Kaede were now on the on the Triskelion island, the two of them were walking to the SHED.

"Trust me, K, you're gonna love it here." Randy said to Kaede, as they reached the SHED.

But to their shock, inside the SHED, the whole place was trashed, walls were smashed up, the furnace was wrecked, Randy and Kaede steps in, looking around, while the sound of the cicada chirping was going on.

"WHO GOES THERE?!" The yell of Julie's voice was heard, which made Randy and Kaede jump a bit, as they see, Julie, Kaikaina, Ava and Metabee, emerging from the shadows.

Julie and Ava's hair were completely frazzled, as both of them looked completely sleep deprived,

Randy looked confused on what was going on, "What the juice happened here?"

Ava chuckled like a lunatic, "Heh-heh-heh… Chirp, chirp, chirp, three… weeks… of non-stop… chirping… chirping makes it difficult… TO GET SOME SLEEP!" Ava screamed out, as she had her hands gripping her face, as her right eye was twitching.

Randy and Kaede looked a bit scared on seeing Julie, Ava and Metabee act crazed, due to the cicada chirping kept them from getting any sleep for three weeks, while Julie was blinking, completely out of sync.

Then, A-Bomb was walking down the stairs, as he sees Randy, he immediately smiled, as he ran down stairs, "Randy… I wanted to pull a prank on you… f-for three weeks… And… and you're gonna stay here and… take it…" A-Bomb told Randy, as he was extremely sleepily, while Randy looked confused on what A-Bomb was talking about.

A-Bomb then quickly ran into the kitchen and picked up the trashcan and dug his right hand into it, as he was looking for something.

A-Bomb then took out his Electro-Joke-Box 2000 out of the trash, as he puts the trashcan down; he takes a look at it, only to have a look of confusion, as the Electro-Joke-Box 2000 was on and active.

A-Bomb then walked out of the kitchen and looked at his friends, "Hey, my Electro-Joke-Box 2000 is still on..." A-Bomb said, as he presses a button on it, switching it off.

And in doing that, the cicada chirping finally stopped, which immediately gets Ava, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee's attention, as the chirping hade finally stopped.

"Had the chirping stopped or have I been blessed with deafness..?" Kaikaina asked, sounding confused and hopeful.

"What's that noise..?" Julie asked, looking scared,

"That's… silences…" Metabee said, looking amazed,

But Ava slowly turned and looked at A-Bomb, who was still holding the Electro-Joke-Box 2000, she then immediately puts it together that it was the Electro-Joke-Box 2000 that was making the chirping sounds, that was the reason they couldn't find the cicada.

Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee turned to look at A-Bomb as well, as he looked a bit nervous.

"Uh… heh-heh… I must've… forgot I left the Electro-Joke-Box on… my bad… Heh-heh…" A-Bomb smiled nervously, that the whole time in the past three weeks; the chirping was all because A-Bomb left the Electro-Joke-Box 2000 on.

But Ava, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee were large as they were covered with darkness, as a dark red background was behind them, as their eyes were glowing with a bright and demonic look, as they hawked down at a scared looking A-Bomb.

They were angered that the whole time, they have been looking, tearing up the SHED, losing a ton of sleep and nearly going out of their minds, all because A-Bomb forgot he left his Joke Box on.

"Rick…" Ava, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee all said, in perfect sync, in a dark and threating tone of voice.

A-Bomb looked really scared, as he lifted up his right finger, "Anyone up for pizza..?" He said, hoping.

But, Ava, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee all leaps out and attacked A-Bomb, beating the ever living tar out of him, in a clouded ball of fury and violences.

While Randy and Kaede just stood there, watching A-Bomb get beat up, until Randy turned to look at Kaede, and gave her a smile, "Like I said, you're gonna love it here." Randy told her,

As Kaede turned to look at Randy, before giving him a smile back, as she happily embraces her new home, as a member of S.P.D.

(Author's notes- do ya see a pattern here, I do... took long that I wanted but just happy it's done. favorite, comment and review please)

(PS: YES, YES, I know that I changed up this episode and replaced Scythe with Scorpion, especially when this episode it, GOD, who knows how old, but I've be getting a bad tic in the back of my brain, telling me that Scorpion is better, I felt like Randy needed a ninja rival, who both can clash in future episodes, and looking back at Scorpion's character, I felt like it was a better opinion, and plus, Scorpion voiced by Dante Basco, so that a HUGE thumbs up for me!
