Randy rushes back to school, entering through the front door and running down the halls until Howard stuck his leg out from a corner and tripped him. Sending his body flying a few feet away. "Hey, perfect! Your back. I got some great news." He smiles as he walk towards him.

"Sorry, Howard, but I have to um..." Randy interrupts him but Howard wasn't having it. "No! no! You are going to stick around for this." Without hesitation he wraps his arms and legs around him as the bell rings. Students start to walk out from classes, giving the duo strange looks as they pass by. Randy gives a nervous grin to the people, while Howard continues to talk.

"Turns out the Ninja and the newbie hero couldn't beat that monster, so they just locked it in a basement stall. So, I let it out." He closes his eyes with a smile feeling proud of himself.

"You did what?!" Randy raises his hands in shock.

"Yeah. Now, he's just gotta come back," Howard released his hold on him while Randy feeling more distraught after what his best friend just told him. "and we can see him in action together." He points to himself and Randy, the latter dragging both hands down his face, then placing it on his knees.

A car crashes into the building demolishing a part of the wall. The duo runs up to the hole to see the monster in the parking lot with the Yokai currently holding up against it pretty well.

"You want to thank me now or later, or how should we do this?" Randy gave an unimpressed look at Howard, as they walk out side through the damage. "Ninja action, courtesy of moi. Who's the best friend ever?" He goes in for a chest bump only to find out his best friend is gone again. "Are you kidding me!"

Yokai dodges another attack from the monster, as she parries and shields its attackswith her umbrella. Throwing dirt in its eyes to distract it, she tries sneak up from behind. It ended up in vain as the monster easily recovers and turns its body, one of it's arms manages to grab her by the throat, stopping her mid air. She chokes as she struggles to breath. C'mon, where are you Ninja?

She strikes the tip of her umbrella to the base of the arm holding her. She successfully ripped one of it's arms off from the body. Once free, she climbed on it's back. That's when the Ninja decided to show up.

"Smokebomb!" He appears and jumps back with a battle stance.

"You're finally here!" Yokai smiled in relief.

The bystanders watching started to cheer at the Ninja, chanting his name. "Ninja! Ninja!"

"And Yokai! Yeah, I'm here too." She pumps her fist out in the air, other hand holding onto the monster's head. Hoping to gain some cheers too. She leans her entire body weight back, causing the monster to tilt back as well, throwing it off balance and jumping off before it hits the ground.

"Hey, glad you could make it, I almost thought you chickened out on me. " She landed beside Ninja.

"Please, what kind of Ninja would I be if I can't finish off one monster?" He said cockily. "Just leave this to me."

The Monster got up and the Ninja stood face to face in front of it. The monster roars again. "I believe in me, I believe in me." He mutters under his breath. Signaling the monster to come get him with a hand motion. "I believe in me kicking your butt." The monster smiles, punching two of it's fists over on their palms since one arm is broken courtesy of Yokai. The two run at eachother. Ninja aims for a kick; the monster held up an arm to block, switching to use it as a stepping stone, Ninja jumps high in the air and stomps on the monster's face, flipping over behind it.
