A new year, a new ninja week has arrived! With the new hero spider gal around competition for the ninja of the day plaque was fierce. The ninja had stood proudly on the railings while spider gal was hanging over the ceiling. Once the ninja has dropped his smoke bomb however, the show had started! "Smoke bomb!" The ninja said proudly as a puff of red smoke filled the ring while he used his scarf to make his debut more flashy. The curtains rose and at a talk show setting Howard and his older sister Heidi, a tall and slender woman, having orange hair like her brothers, deep blue eyes, and a beauty mark on her left cheek. And wearing a cream-colored shirt, the sleeves ending at her elbows, with red on the collar, sleeves, and bottom alongside a red bracelet on her right arm, a dark brown skirt, long white socks, and red dress shoes.

"What up H hub, welcome to the 801rst ninja week celebration, joining me because my mom said I had to. My brother Howard!" She announced, everyone cheered as the ninja bowed in honor of his special day. "And now give a big hand for the Bucky hensletter orchestra now with added effects!" Bucky alongside flute girl and Dave played their instruments with pride. "Now let's give Norrisville's hometown hero a big hand: the ninja!" The ninja strolled around with pride celebrating his big day. "Thank you, I know! I'm awesome!" "Technically he isn't the only hero in town now!" Everyone looked up in awe hearing a familiar voice. "Now let's give an even bigger hand to the new hero in town, the eight legged vigilante: the spectacular spider gal!" The aforementioned spider swung around with her webs and backflipped into one of the chairs. "Salutations Heidi, double dip!" Howard giggled at his gossip nickname, "and you said that nobody remembers that!" He said proudly. Heidi rolled her eyes. "Let's give it up for N-vile's resident bacon savers!"

At mcfist industries, the two villains watched the little celebration in disgust. "It was bad enough that the ninja acted like a total showoff but spider gal's just milking it! I mean look at her!" Mcfist complained. "I'm totally milking it!" "Ninja week, last year My plan was a total disaster!" "I guess you could say it got O'thunderpunched!" Viceroy gagged. "JUST FINISH YOUR NEW CREATION!" "Mcfist!" The sorcerer growled, appearing from his tube. "Why have you awoken me from my slumber?" "We decided to revamp my O'thunderpunch plan!" Mcfist explained. "Right because it went sooo well the last time!" The sorcerer replied sarcastically. "Relax, it's gonna be a lot different than before, right viceroy?" Mcfist assured. "Something like that…."

Viceroy then pulled from the sheets a new robot: its body was green with a large purple cape with an eclipse-like symbol on one side, and a galaxy setting on the other with a popped collar and golden eye brochures holding it together. The arms had multiple ritualistic symbols alongside golden gauntlets on the wrists. The chest had a similar symbol to the cape, but was more star-like and had an eye in the center and a golden eye belt on the waist. The hands had eyes in their palms while the back one had a sun and the other hand was a moon as well as shoulder guards that resembled the beings. But the most noticeable thing was its head, it was a large sphere with mist swirling around on the inside and a giant red slit making it look like a giant eyeball. "I call him: mysterio!"

"Why does he have a bubble for a head?" Mcfist asked, confused. "It's a crystal ball!" Viceroy corrected. "Anyway, mysterio is built with holographic projectors in his eyes as well as a hallucinogenic gas that makes his illusions appear real!" "And I presume that you are dressing in that outfit, mcfist!" "God no! The O'thunderpunch suit was like wearing a straight jacket!" Mcfist retaliated. "It took a chainsaw to get me out of it!" "If you're not gonna play mysterio then who?" The two looked at the sorcerer smugly. "Why are we looking at the sorcerer viceroy?" Mcfist asked, confused. "I'm saying that the sorcerer will play mysterio, that way he fools the people of NHS into abandoning their heroes in order to leave them helpless when he strikes!" Viceroy explained. "Interesting, except there's one little problem…" The sorcerer replied, "how can I be mysterio and trick the school… WHEN I'VE BEEN TRAPPED IN A HOLE FOR 800 YEARS!?"

"I knew you were gonna say something like that!" Viceroy answered and pulled out a small device and placed it on the tube. "This will allow you to control mysterio from your hole with ease!" From his hole the sorcerer rose his arms in the air to which the robot did as well. The evil wizard grinned at this accomplishment. "Interesting…." He spoke, noticing that the robot was mimicking his voice but was deeper and more slyly. "Did I also mention that it also has a microphone and voice filter to disguise yourself from the ninja and spider gal?" Viceroy chuckled smugly. "This will be most interesting…." The sorcerer commented sinisterly. "Ninja, spider gal, prepare to meet the invisible wrath of MYSTERIO!"

The celebration continued showcasing the ninja and spider gal's best moments fighting the forces of evil. "Of course while I may be new to town I couldn't save you if you guys didn't need saving, ain't that right ninja?" "Just be careful spider gal, a wise man once said, 'when the ninja is no longer needed, the ninja shall lay down his sword'!" The ninja replied, "I understood like half of that, but I say… bring out the plaque!" Principal Slimovitz then arrived with a plaque in his hands. "The ninja of the year award goes to… THE SHOCKER!" Everyone screamed as the shocker attacked the school. "Oh come on shocker? But the guy wasn't even on the ballot!" Spider gal complained before the ninja pulled her head forward. "Ooh… yeah we're on it!" The two dashed through the scene and surrounded the gauntlet armed criminal. "Herman! Long time no…" suddenly a gust of green gas surrounded the three, they looked around the fog before it surrounded the shocker and wrapped around him like a burrito. "What just happened?" Spider gal freaked out.

"I know you two could've handled that…." The ninja and spider gal turned around seeing someone dressed in a green sorcerer like outfit with a large sphere for a head. "Just thought I'd lend a hand!" Suddenly a bunch of hands appeared around the figure's body. "Riiight and uh who are you?" Spider gal asked, confused. "I am MYSTERIO!" "Mysterio?" "Yeah that sounds like the name for a cheesy magician!" Mysterio gasped. "You dare call the great Mysterio a magician?!" "Is something wrong with that?" Spider gal asked. "FOOLS! The great Mysterio is not a simple illusionist playing parlor tricks and birthday parties!" Mysterio retaliated, "the great Mysterio is the master of THE ARCANE ARTS!" "Really cuz it looks like 'the great Mysterio' is the master of talking about himself in the third person!" Spider gal replied irritated, everyone else booed her. "Not cool spider gal!" Slimovitz said with disappointment. "Oh come on! Sure he stopped the shocker but it's not like he's stealing our thunder!"

The next few attacks had been filled with multiple robots and monsters. Both of which, spider gal and the ninja were on the scene but were interrupted by mysterio. "Oh man he IS stealing our thunder!"

Meanwhile at mcfist industries, the two villains noticed that the sorcerer had a disturbed look on his face. "Is everything ok?" "No, I've got this bizarre tingly feeling in my chest!" The sorcerer gagged, "is… is this what being good is like?! I think I'm gonna be sick!"

At the genetics lab, Theresa had felt anger over the whole 'mysterio' thing. "I see that there's a new hero in town…." Dr Connors said worriedly. "You got that right doc, what's up with this mysterio creep just showing up out of nowhere and stealing my spotlight!?" "Now Theresa, you don't need fame to be known in this world!" Dr Connors assured. "You have already done enough as spider gal to do that!" "It's not just that, he's stealing my fights!" Theresa growled. "It's like he's trying to replace me!" "I'm sure he's got good intentions…." "You know what… he can have the city!" Dr Connors gasped. "You can't be serious! You're spider gal!" "Not any more…."

Outside Theresa looked at her costume and then threw it in the trash. "They don't need spider gal… they don't have a spider gal…."

A few hours later, mysterio flew around mcfist industries until finding the costume, he grinned in the sorcerer's hole before contacting the businessman. "Mcfist!" "He woke up the metal armed man from his slumber. "I-I have the perfect plan!" He stuttered. "Spider gal has given up! She actually believes that they don't need her anymore!" "So what's next?" "All I need to do is to crush the town's spirit and I know EXACTLY how to do so!" The sorcerer laughed before vanishing.

"You threw your costume away?!" Juilan screamed. "Hey the town has mysterio now, what's the point of spider gal if they have that bubble head?" Theresa replied while eating her lunch. "So you just gave up like that?" Juggo yelled flabbergasted. "What happens when Norrisville needs both the ninja AND spider gal?" "Mysterio will handle it plain and simple…."

At the school mysterio had begun a crime spree! He robbed banks, attacked museums and general chaos. This caused the people to be filled with disappointment and shock. "Ah nothing breaks people's hearts more than their hero betraying the innocent!" The sorcerer grinned before unleashing a swarm of stank throughout the school, mutating everyone into rampaging monsters.

"Uh Theresa… you might want to see this…." Juilan said, pointing at the hoard of monsters attacking the city. "So what? Mysterio will handle it!" "So wait just because he shoobed up ninja week means you're just not doing it?" "He's not even a ninja!" "So are you, but who cares! They need you!" It was then that Theresa remembered what the ninja said: 'when the ninja is no longer needed, the ninja shall lay down his sword'. "Of course… I wasn't not needed, I wasn't wanted!" And immediately realized something else. "I probably shouldn't have thrown my costume away…." "Yeah bad move…."

The ninja had tussled around with the other monsters, while he was nearing his defeat, familiar webbing struck most of the monsters. "And where have you been?" He asked as spider gal leaped down. "And why do you smell like garbage?" "I HAD SOME ISSUES TO WORK OUT OK!" They continued stopping the monsters, webbing Bucky to the wall, cocooning flute girl, and webbing the principal to the ground. "How dare you interfere with my chaos?!" Yelled a familiar voice, they turned around and saw none other than mysterio. "What's with the sudden bad guy stuff bubble brain?" "Who said I wasn't a bad guy?" Mysterio laughed maniacally, his voice returning to someone else's. "Wait a honking minute… the sorcerer?!" "That's right ninja! You won't stop me this time!" Mysterio laughed. "See if you can deal with this!" He then blasted agust of gas covering the two heroes and knocking them out.

When they woke up the two heroes they witnessed a fifty foot version of the dome headed villain. "Let's see if you can face me while being the SIZE of a spider!" He laughed menacingly while raising his fist they dashed away as the fist slammed down onto the ground, they ran around as mysterio continued to crush them, spider gal managed to trip over what looked like a cable, she tugged on it before mysterio suddenly went limp. "Hey this isn't mysterio, this is just some cheesy robot!" "Over there!" The ninja pointed at a light in one of the windows. They swung over to the ground and busted the window open, where the real mysterio had been controlling the robotic replica. "Guess you really are just a cheesy magician after all!" Spider gal quipped, "or in your words… 'a simple illusionist playing parlor tricks and birthday parties!'" "Ok so I'm sort of a fraud, you try doing your tricks while trapped in a hole for 800 years!" Mysterio growled. "Yeah how are you doing that anyway?" The villain growled further before dashing towards them. "Ninja tengu fireball!" The ninja shot out a fireball directly at mysterio making him melt and reveal that it was a robot. "I guess that's how…." "Robot, now that's clever!"

With the robot destroyed, a swarm of stank emerged from the robot, turning everyone back to normal. Spider gal stood on the rooftops with her friends. "Thanks for being there when I needed it!" She thanked. "You got it, dear klub member!" Juilan cheered, "wanna have a new game after school? We just added coach green on the roster!" "Sure! I'm not wanted right now…."

As the stank tried to return to its master it was captured by someone who was wearing a purple glove, and a green bodysuit….
