Hi again! Sorry it took me so long school was taking a ton of my time. Here's the next chapter of the story.

Ok, before I go to the next chapter I want to quickly review what happened in the last few chapters in case you haven't read the story in a while. If you remember feel free to skip this part.

.

1. Howard convinces Randy to go to a haunted factory. Something strange happens and the factor starts on fire. (Randy forgot his mask so he couldn't turn into the ninja) Howard escapes but Randy gets caught and is supposedly dead. He blames himself for Randy's death.

2. A week later Randy wakes up in a boarding school and believes his parents sent him there. He has no memories of is old life except for some strange flashes. He and his friend Jerry sign up for an exchange program with Norrisville High. Meanwhile Howard signed up for the same program and goes to Randy's school. The boys miss seeing each other as they pass.

3. When Randy get's to the school he runs into different people who recognize him. This annoys him to no end. When he runs into Heidi she calls Howard and tells him Randy's alive.

4. Howard doesn't know if he should believe his sister or not so he borrows another student's bike and goes to the school. Meanwhile the Sorcerer is saving his energy for a big attack and decided to contact an old friend who turned out to be the monster that chased Randy and Howard at the beginning of the story.

5. Randy finds the ninja Nomicon which tells him to find his memories and his friend.

.

Ok on to the story.

Howard stared at the entrance of the school.

"This is it," he thought to himself, "Now I'll know if Cunningham is dead or alive." He gulped and walked to the door of the school and pushed it open.

.

The school was in chaos. Half of the students were running around, yelling something about a ghost, and the other half where trying to figure out what was going on. The teachers where rushing around, trying to calm the students. There were also a ton of students that Howard didn't recognize standing around looking confused. He guessed they were the exchange students.

"Howard!" a voice yelled. Howard turned to see his sister walking towards him.

"What the heck is going on?" Howard yelled over the commotion.

"It's Sandy!" she exclaimed. "I told you he's alive!"

"Where is he?" Howard asked.

"I don't know." She said shrugging. Howard shot his sister a look and took off looking for his best friend.

.

Meanwhile across the school…

"What the juice?" Randy said bewildered, watching the panicking students.

"It's crazy out here!" Jerry exclaim. Then, they noticed another exchanged student standing a few feet away, watching the commotion.

"Hey!" Randy called, "What's going on?"

"How am I supposed to know!" the student from their school said, "We were walking to the principal's office after you didn't return when, suddenly, a bunch of students burst in through another door yelling about a ghost. After that, things started to get crazy."

"A ghost?" Jerry asked, "I thought this school was all about ninjas?"

"I think this is my fault," Randy said, "For some reason, everyone here thinks I'm a ghost."

"Seriously?" Jerry said, "This school is crazy."

"I know; I'm getting out of here." Randy said angry, "No more second chances." He took off running down the hall.

.

"I need to find Cunningham!" Howard thought as he turned, "I need to see for myself if what my sister says is true."

.

"I need to get out of here," Randy said as he ran down the hall and turned a corner, "This school is full of wackos."

.

Crash! The two boys hit each other hard and fell back.

"Watch where you're going!" Howard yelled, his head still spinning.

"Watch where you're going!" Randy snapped back, sitting up.

"I don't have time for this," Howard said, "I need to find him!"

"Find who?" Rand asked.

"I need to find Cun-" Howard stopped as his head cleared.

"Cun?" Randy asked. "What kind of name is that?"

"He's alive." Howard thought, "I don't believe it! My best friend is alive!"

"Hello, anyone home?" Randy asked, worriedly, "Are you hurt?" He looked at the boy in front of him. He wore black clothes and had orange hair. He looked very familiar.

"I'm sorry," Howard whispered, his hands starting to shake.

"Hmmm? For what?" Randy said, half listening as he tried to figure out where he had seen this boy before.

"Making you skip that movie!" Howard exclaimed, "For bring you to the factory!"

.

Howard, I don't think this a good idea!" Randy said as they passed some huge machines that were making cars. "Maybe we should have stayed with the group and watched the movie!"

"Are you kidding? The movie is so lame! You're just scared because this place was said to be haunted!" Howard said back.

"Well yeah! Someone disappeared here!" Randy said glancing over his shoulder. "They say his ghost still haunts this factory!"

"Come on Cunningham!" Howard said, rolling his eyes. "That's why we're here."

.

"Ug, my head," Randy complained, "It hurts so badly. Why am I getting these visions now?"

"What visions." Howard said, worriedly, "You aren't going to disappear or something right? You are really back and not just a ghost, right?" Randy rubbed his head, trying to sort out his thoughts.

"What is wrong with me?" Randy wondered to himself.

"Are you even listening?" Howard yelled, getting frustrated, "You need to tell me what's going on?!"

"I don't know!" Randy exclaimed, "Why are you bugging me? Who are you?" Howard stared at him in shock.

"You don't remember?" he asked, "I'm your best friend."

"Best friend?" Randy asked confused. Blue letters started appearing over Howard's head. It said:

Collect The Memories, Find Your Friend

A red arrows pointed from friend to Howard and started blinking.

"Hey it's the writing from that book!" Randy exclaimed.

"Book?" Howard asked, nervously, "What book." Randy reached in his bag and pulled out the black and red book.

"The Ninja Nomicon," Howard said, relived, "You have it! Quickly, ask it how you can get your memories back."

"Ask it?" Randy said, confused, "Wait, do you mean go in it, cause I've already done that."

"What did it say?" Howard asked/

"Collect The Memories, Find Your Friend" Randy said. "I have no idea what it's talking about."

"It's talking about me!" Howard exclaimed, "I'm your friend!" Randy started at Howard. He did look really familiar but…

"Are you sure?" Randy said, frowning.

"Of course!" Howard said frustrated. "Why would I lie about that?" Randy opened his mouth to reply when suddenly there was a scream followed by a roar.

"What the juice!" Randy exclaimed.

.

Under the school…

.

"I told him to wait until I gave the order." The Sorcerer hissed angrily. "I guess I'll start the attack early. See how you handle it ninja!"
