Once a Ninja, Always a Ninja part 3

Act 4 Scene 34: The main room. Justin and Steve protecting Sasuke from both Kohta and Yoshitaka.

Sasuke (struggles to get up): "It's over, Kohta. The cops are here and most of your crew is either dead or under arrest." Kohta starts to laugh and his laughter starts to build as an insane Joker-like laugh.

Kohta: "I don't care about that anymore. I have an ace up my sleeve, Sasuke. I've been training an apprentice to take over in the event of my death. He will be the one that will kill all 3 of you."

Justin and Steve: "Not if we end both you and him first!" The two charge and attack Kohta and Yoshitaka.

Sasuke: "Nooo!!!" Sparks fly as blades clash together. Bravery, determination and adrenaline fuels both parties to fight. Sasuke watches and worries that both of his friends might get killed by two dangerous men.

Act 4 Scene 35: In a different room, Tohru and Hanzo preparing to strike.

Tohru: "This is going to be a momentous occasion for both of us, Hanzo. Both Sasuke and Kohta are killing themselves right now. Little do they know as that I will kill the survivor and become the last ninja of the Shadow Village and the leader of The Headless Dragon Clan. I will be a god."

Hanzo: "Hmm."

Act 4 Scene 36: Back at The Ninjas vs. Kohta and Yoshitaka fight. Justin and Steve are badly hurt.

Kohta: "It seems that your students are no match for us, Sasuke. They show so much promise; it's too bad that they are going to die." Both Kohta and Yoshitaka pull their guns out and prepare to shoot Justin and Steve. He hears a knock on the door. "Oh, good. My student is here to join in on all the fun. Come in." Tohru and Hanzo rush in the room.

Tohru (to Kohta): "End of the line, Kohta. So I'm not the next in line, eh? Let's dance, shall w..." Hanzo interrupts the conversation and impales Kohta with his sword. Kohta is in intense pain and manages to impale Hanzo with his sword. Tohru and The Ninjas are shocked to see the gruesome scene.

Yoshitaka: "Master, no!!!" Yoshitaka runs to avenge his master, but Hanzo throws a shuriken right into Yoshitaka's head, killing him instantly.

Tohru: "Hanzo, why?" Tohru manages to remove the sword from Hanzo's stomach. "Why did you kill him?"

Hanzo: "I guess I don't have much time left. You have such an ego. You didn't care who got hurt. I was shocked to see that you thought that Sasuke and the village was in your way. All you cared about was yourself."

Tohru: "What do you mean? Why do you talk now?!" Hanzo was starting to die slowly. "Don't die on me!"

Hanzo: "Sasuke is destined to change the ninja reputation. Tohru, you are destined to protect him and his friends from those who want to kill them. You... must... change..." Hanzo dies.

Tohru: "No, no, no!!!" He drops a smoke bomb and when the smoke cleared, he disappeared.

Steve: "C'mon, Sasuke. Let's get out here." Al rushes into the room. He sees Kohta's lifeless body on the floor.

Al: "Who killed my father?!"

Act 4 Scene 37: A series of flashbacks after The Ninjas declined to kill the bullies for him, when Sasuke went apesh-t and attacked him, and he got arrested for attempted murder. The flashback stops at when Al was in jail and he got word that his mother committed suicide. He was literally alone and afraid in jail.

Al (about to kill himself): "If no one cares about me, I might as well just end it."

Masked man: "Stop! Don't kill yourself. You fought The Ninjas, correct?"

Al: "Who are you?"

Masked man: "Our boss ordered us to find people who fought and lost to The Ninjas." Another flashback shows Al meeting Kohta for the first time, Kohta being impressed by his martial arts and marksmenship. One final flashback stops where Tohru spied on Kohta talking to Al.

Kohta: "Al, you show so much promise. I would like you to be my apprentice. In the event of my death, you will the new boss of The Headless Dragon Clan."

Al: "I will not fail you, Father."

Act 4 Scene 38: In present time, Al is crying over his fallen master. The Ninjas are long gone.

Al: "I vow to burn Oceanview and force The Ninjas to watch... it... BURN!!!!"

Act 4 Scene 38: The first day of school. Al escaped with only a few Headless Dragon Clan gang members. The Ninjas had a lot of cuts, bruises and a broken arm. The police drops all charges against The Ninjas. Both Justin and Steve are at the main entrance of the high school.

Justin: "Steve, the student body and high school staff know that we are The Ninjas. They are going to look at us differently."

Steve: "I know. We might as well get this over with." Both Justin and Steve open the door and see that no one was in the hallways.

Justin: "What happened? Today is the first day of school." Steve spots a paper with an arrow on it taped to the wall. They follow the arrows to the auditorium.

Steve: "What's going on here?" They open the door and they see everyone standing up and clapping loudly. They were cheering and chanting both Justin and Steve's names.

Justin and Steve: "O...kay." They smile and wave to everyone.

Justin: "So Aaron was an accomplice to his own family's murder." Justin's dad nods "yes". "What are the cops going to tell his surviving family members?"

Justin's dad: "To tell you the truth, I don't know." Dorian, Maxine, the kids, Eddie and Jermaine appear.

Justin: "Jermaine? He was here? Where's Sasuke"

Maxine (to Justin): "Sasuke ran to get to the Headless Dragon Clan leader. I don't know about your other friend. You should get going."

Yoshitaka: "What do you want to me to do, sir?"

Kohta: "Kill him." Yoshitaka nods and prepares his katana sword. He slowly walks to Sasuke. "End of the line, my friend." Sasuke attempts to run, but he can't stay up. Then, a smoke bomb appears.

Act 4 Scene 33: The hallway leading to Kohta's safe room. Al is running from the cops.

Al (to himself): "They're not going to catch me. I won't allow the cops to find me."

A few minutes ago...

Al was still unconscious. He was dreaming about what happened to him in the past. He remembers when he was born, being held by both his mother and father, the day his father was killed in a car accident, and when his mother remarried a couple of years after his father was killed. He woke up and found a way to get out of his handcuffs. He ran to a secret exit in the room. Another flashback appears in his mind. He sees his stepfather hitting him and his mother, his mother taking drugs, his stepfather being arrested, he is getting bullied by the school bullies, when he hired The Ninjas to kill the bullies, and The Ninjas refusing to kill. His second flashback is over. A cop appears trying to find him.

Officer 2: "Where are you, Al? Surrender peacefully." Al appears and breaks the officer's leg and smashes a TV into his head. The officer is out cold. Al continues to run.

Al: "I'm going to save you, Kohta."

Kohta: "Not bad for a man my age. You show a lot of promise, Sasuke. Too bad you're going to die."

Sasuke: "If I die, you go back to Japan and leave my brothers alone."

Kohta: "What makes you think I'm going to keep a dumb promise? Everyone associated with you dies a gruesome, f-ked up death." Kohta manages to punch Sasuke in a jaw causing him to fall. "This could've been avoided if your teachers killed my teachers." Yoshitaka gets up and charges at Sasuke.

Sasuke: "Kohta is now the most powerful yakuza boss in Japan's Underworld. I had no idea that he hired my people to kill his teachers. Little did he know that his teachers told us not to take any offer from them. The other yakuza bosses needed a fall guy. In this case, it was an entire village."

Justin: "Steve and I always tell you that we are so sorry that you lost your village and your adopted father."

Kohta (to someone not Tohru): "I have seen you in action. You are very good. You are worthy enough to be the boss of the Headless Dragon Clan when I'm gone."

Tohru (quietly to Hanzo): "What the f-k is this? Kohta told me that I was next in line. Not..." It fades to black.

Steve's dad: "It's a miracle that the boys aren't dead. What did you even save them from?"

Sasuke: "A man that they owed money to. If they didn't have the money, they would already be dead. Oceanview may look like a good community to have a family in. This town has a dark side."

Justin's dad and Steve's parents: "Liar!"

Steve: "No, it's true. I'm sorry that I lied to you guys. You did the best you could to protect me from the evil in Oceanview."

Steve's mom: "Stephen, go back to bed. Your injuries haven't healed yet."

Steve: "I want to depend Sasuke."

Justin: "Dad, I know you miss Mom. I miss her, too. You didn't teach me how to depend myself."

Justin's dad: "Son, I..."

Steve: "Sasuke's alone in the world now. He surrendered myself to the cops because he didn't want to lose any more family members."

Justin: "Some nasty men are coming here to find and kill Sasuke. He needs us to help him out."

Steve's mom: "I'm sure the police will help him."

Steve: "That won't be enough. He needs our help."

Justin: "Let's get out here."

Justin's dad and Steve's parents: "What?!" In an instant, all three ninjas drop smoke bombs and disappear.

Justin's dad: "Officer, find the boys!"

Prison officer: "Yes, sir."

Act 4 Scene 9: A building outside of Oceanview. Kohta Sanada enters the building.

Kohta: "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kohta Sanada and the boss of the Headless Dragon Clan. We all share a common enemy. The Ninjas are the ones that brought you to justice. By the end of the day, they will die.

The End... For now.

Act 4 Scene 2: 2 hours earlier. Sasuke's safe house. Sasuke is training Justin and Steve.

Sasuke: "Okay, you two did very well. Take a break."

Justin and Steve (in unison): "Hai, sensei." Justin and Steve grabbed some fruit and sat outside to enjoy the view. Sasuke later joined them.

Steve (to Sasuke): "So, it's been almost 7 months when you came here. Do you ever think that you will return to Japan?"

Justin (to Steve): "Steve, don't mention Japan."

Sasuke: "It's okay. It has been a long time and Japan is still in my mind every day. I still miss the old village." Sasuke takes a deep breath and all three continue to eat their food. Suddenly, the phone rings.

Justin: "Who could that be? It's coming from Sasuke's phone."

Steve: "But, nobody should know Sasuke's phone number." Sasuke walks to the phone and just waits from the voice mail to appear. "Sasuke, who was on the phone?"

Sasuke: "Boys, I think some ninjas that survived the massacre are at the airport."

Justin: "I thought they all died. How could there be survivors? You said you were the last surviving ninja."

Sasuke: "I'm surprised myself. Get to the airport. I will tell their names when you get to the terminal in the airport.

Act 4 Scene 3: 1 hour earlier. The local airport. Justin and Steve enter the airport looking for the ninjas.

Justin: "Sasuke, we are at the airport. Who are we looking for?"

Sasuke (on the phone): "Two ninjas named Tohru Miyazaki and Hanzo Hattori; they should still be at the Japan terminal." Steve finds the terminal.

Steve: "Justin, it's over there."

Justin: "Sasuke, we're heading towards the terminal. I see two men sitting next to each other. One is taller than the other one."

Sasuke: "That's them. Keep me posted, all right?"

Justin: "Right, talk to you la..." The phone disconnects suddenly.

Sasuke: "Hello? Justin? Steve? What happened? Are you guys okay? Must have been disconnected." The phone rings. "Hello?"

Tohru: "Hello, Sasuke. We found you. If you have internet access or a TV, turn it on a news channel or website." Sasuke turns on his computer and goes to a news website and it says, "ATTACK AT THE AIRPORT!!!"

Sasuke: "What the f-k? Tohru, what are you and Hanzo doing?"

Tohru: "We're scaring the airport patrons and beating the living s-t out of these guys."

Act 4 Scene 4: Current time at Sasuke's safe house. Sasuke is watching the newsfeed and on the phone he's hearing Justin and Steve hurt, screaming in pain and breathing heavily.

Sasuke: "You two are working for the Headless Dragon Clan?"

Tohru: "That's right. Kohta's bringing his crew and some new recruits to America. You better prepare yourself for your own execution." Sasuke is breathing heavily on the phone. "You sound scared. Not a good sign if a ninja is in battle."

Sasuke: "Where are my friends?"

Tohru: "Oh yeah, those two pretenders are giving it their all. Hanzo already killed some people, but we haven't killed your friends yet."

Sasuke: "Please, don't kill them. They're the only family I got left. Please, Tohru." Sasuke starts crying over the phone.

Tohru: "Hanzo, leave the pretenders alone. Let them lick the bloody wounds for a while. The cops are heading to our direction. Let's get out of here."

Hanzo: "Hmm."

Tohru: "Remember, the Headless Dragon Clan is going to kill you." The phone disconnects.

Act 4 Scene 5: Sasuke makes a 911 call.

911 dispatcher: "911, what's your emergency?"

Sasuke: "My name is Sasuke. I want to the cops to arrest me."

Sasuke: "Because I'm one of The Ninjas. I want the cops to take me away."

If You're Caught, End It All

Act 3 Scene 26: June 25th. Tokyo, Japan. The boss of the Headless Dragon Clan, Kohta Sanada, is talking to the yakuza bosses.

Kohta: "My friends, it has been a long time since the Ninja Village Massacre. Yet, I still haven't found the ninja that got away. I want to know why.

Yakuza Boss 1: "Why are you looking at us like we are hiding something from you?"

Kohta: "Well, that day that we partied, I hired my friends to do something for me. I wanted to know if you knew what happened to the ninja. They checked everywhere in your rooms; they couldn't find anything."

Yakuza Boss 2: "Listen, Kohta. We would never keep secrets from you. You are our #1 student. We taught you the ropes on how to be one of the most feared yakuza bosses of Japan."

Kohta: "I thought I would trust you to be honest with me. All of you are still feeding me the same bulls-t." All the yakuza bosses are arguing at each other and to Kohta himself.

Yakuza Boss 5: "Without us, you still would've been a bum in the streets begging for money! I suggest you watch what you say next or you will lose a finger. I promise you that!" Kohta starts to laugh.

Kohta: "You idiots still don't get it. My friends found something that you all will get a kick out of." He throws a piece of paper. "This is a signed agreement between all 5 of you and the ninjas peasants. It stated that you hired the ninjas to refuse any offer I give them."

Yakuza Boss 4: "You wanted the ninjas to kill them. Good thing you have an anger streak."

Kohta: "I'll show you my anger streak!" He clears his throat. "I'm fine. I'm not mad at any of you."

Yakuza Boss 3: "You're not?"

Kohta: "No." He snaps his fingers and The Headless Dragon Clan appear with two ninjas. "My friends would now kill you."

Yakuza Boss 2: "You said you weren't mad."

Kohta: "Actually, I'm very pissed." Kohta's men attack and kill 4 of the yakuza bosses except one.

Yakuza Boss 4: "How could you just kill us and take our men?"

Kohta: "As a kid, I wanted to be the greatest yakuza boss ever. I was trained by the best. But all of you were pulling me back. I hired the ninjas to kill you. If only I knew the ninjas made a deal with you, their deaths wouldn't happen. Luckily, I got these two ninjas on my side."

Yakuza Boss 4: "What are you going to do to me?" Kohta holds a grenade. "Okay, I'll talk. I gave the ninja a ticket to America. I don't know where in America though."

Kohta: "That's all I need to know." Kohta puts the grenade in the surviving yakuza boss' mouth.

Kohta (to the ninjas): "Ninjas, you guys are going to America. You will find the lone ninja and end him."

Ninja 1: "We will do what you ask."

Ninja 2:"Hmm..." Kohta and other gang members leave the house. As Kohta drives away, the house explodes killing the last yakuza boss.

End of Act 3.

Untitled Part 2

Act 3 Scene 23: Johnny Andrews and his friends are freaking out and in a panic. The Ninjas, however, are calm and quiet. The intercom turns on and Al Chapman speaks.

Al: "Shut up, you little a-holes! For too long, I have been a victim of your constant torture. The school did nothing to help me with the scarring harassment. Thanks to you, Johnny. I hired The Ninjas to kill you. Then, they decided not to kill you. Now, they are my enemies and all my enemies need to die."

Johnny: "The cops are going to find you, you psycho! You gonna spend the rest of your life in jail!"

Al: "I don't care. Your deaths will be beautiful music in my ears forever. Get ready to suck exhaust, p-ys!" The intercom turns off. Smoke starts to enter the room.

Sasuke: "I thought he would never shut up. Now then..." Johnny punches Sasuke to ground.

Johnny: "This is all your fault!" Sasuke's mask falls off. "Who the hell are you?" Smoke is slowly enters Johnny's lungs.

Sasuke: "Guys, blast the doors open." When Al was talking they placed an explosive on the door. The bomb blew up. "Everyone, get out of here!"

Johnny: "No, we are going to teach that a-hole a lesson." Johnny and his friends ran to where Al might be.

Steve: "Sasuke, they saw your face. What's going to happen next?"

Sasuke: "I don't know. Right now, we stop Johnny from killing Al."

Justin: "He's right, Steve. After this, we probably need to keep a low profile." The Ninjas chase after Johnny and his friends.

Act 3 Scene 24: Another room in a warehouse. The Ninjas run into a new room. They are watching Al actually beating the crap out of the bullies. One guy tries to punches Al, but Al grabs the guy's arm and snaps his arm.

Al (smiling): "Who's next?" He sees The Ninjas. "Perfect." He runs to them and clothsline both Justin and Steve.

Sasuke: "Stop, Al. That's enough."

Al: "Sorry, friend. I just can't do that. Unless, you and the other ninjas take these guns and kill Johnny right now." He throws the guns to them. "Now, ready the gun and pull the trigger."

Justin: "Sorry, Al. We're not murderers." Both Justin and Steve take off their masks. Al is shocked to see Justin and Steve.

Al: "Justin... Steve.. What the hell is this?"

Steve: "We are The Ninjas and we will stop anyone, including you, from committing horrible acts." They remove the magazines from the guns and drop them on the floor.

Al: "You're making me very mad." Al pulls out a gun and aims at Sasuke (Al doesn't know his name). "You guys better kill Johnny or I kill your friend." Sasuke grabs Al's arm and judo flips him to the ground. "It 's true that fathers make monsters like you."

Sasuke (angrily): "Nobody says that about my father." Sasuke violently punches Al into a near bloody pulp.

Steve: "Sasuke, stop! You're going to kill him." Al is rendered unconscious. He wakes in an ambulance.

Act 3 Scene 25: Sasuke's safe house. A couple of days after the incident.

Sasuke: "Al will make a full recovery. Johnny and his friends are getting counseling. Al's probably going to spend some serious time in prison."

Justin: "I guess we should take a little break from being ninjas."

Steve: "Sounds like a good idea. See you later, Sasuke." Justin and Steve leave. Sasuke holds a kunai knife and throws outside.

The End... For Now.

Sasuke: "We are not going to stop until we find him. Hopefully, he didn't kill himself." Justin sees something.

Justin: "Hold up. Look at that." He points at an abandoned warehouse near the woods. "He might be in there, right?"

Sasuke: "Let's find out." Little do The Ninjas know, someone is stalking them from inside the abandoned warehouse. The Ninjas entered the warehouse very carefully.

Steve: "So far, so good." Steve looks around the warehouse. "This place is f-king scary."

Al: "Yeah, then why am I here?"

Steve's mom: "I'm done hearing about that school invasion. The school has already heightened the security in the school."

Steve: "Mom, do you think The Ninjas could be in our school."

Steve's mom: "If they are, they probably should've protected the security guard before it was too late." Steve's mom leaves the living room.

Justin: "It seems like the only crime The Ninjas are charged with murdering Mr. Willow, even though we didn't kill him."

Steve: "True, I wonder what Sasuke is thinking about right now. We haven't heard from him a couple of weeks ago." Steve's phone rings.

Justin: "Speak of the devil."

Act 3 Scene 10: Sasuke's safe house. Sasuke talks to Justin and Steve.

Sasuke: "I've been thinking. Should we make an announcement to the community?"

Steve: "What do you mean? Like a video?"

Act 3 Scene 12: The video feed from The Ninjas. Their identities covered up.

Sasuke: "Citizens of Oceanview, we are here to tell you that we are guilty for not saving the security guard at the high school. This is our responsibility to protect like a mother hen."

Steve: "Find it in your heart to forgive us after that day of crisis."

Justin: "We placed flowers and candles at Mr. Henry Willow's grave. We also reached out to Mrs. Willow and their children to help them cope a bit more."

Steve: "We like to say goodbye for now. We still are making a difference to the community."Thank you and good bye." The footage stops.

Marc: "Folks, I don't know what to say expect thank you, Ninjas. For all of us here at the news station, I'm Marc Vanderbilt."

Sasuke swiftly grabs Tohru in a neck hold.

Male Elder: "Stop! Very good, Sasuke."

Sasuke: "Thank you, elder. Not bad, Tohru. You almost got me."

Tohru: "Shut up! I'm out of here. Go f-k yourself." Tohru leaves the training room.

Female Elder: "Don't feel bad for him. He needs to learn that we are all the same. We are all family."

Sasuke: "I know. It's just that I've trained with the both of you for so long. Maybe you train him, maybe he won't be such a firebrand."

Male Elder: "Impossible. He lacks patience and he wants to learn how to kill. You never wanted to kill."

Female Elder: "You fight to protect the innocent. Tohru wants to kill the guilty."

Act 3 Scene 5: Sasuke and his father enjoying some tea.

Sasuke's dad: "Sasuke, what's wrong?"

Sasuke: "Nothing's wrong. Why do you ask?" Looks at his tea cup. "Oh, it's cold. Sorry, I'm just worried that the other kids aren't getting a lot if respect from the elders."

Sasuke's dad: "Do you believe that you are getting special treatment?"

Sasuke: "Yes."

Sasuke's dad: "I will talk to the elders and the other teachers about helping the young ninjas with better lessons."

Sasuke:  "Sounds good." He drinks some tea and doesn't like the cold taste. "Yeah, I'm going to need a refill."

Act 3 Scene 6: The Day before the Shadow Village Massacre. Sasuke walks in the middle of a conversation. The elders were talking to Kohta Sanada.

Sasuke's dad: "No, all of the kids left the village to parts unknown. You're going away immediately. You already got your ticket to America. The rest is up to you."

Sasuke: "No, Dad. I staying to help you and the other adults fight off the upcoming threat." Sasuke's dad knocked his son out cold. Sasuke woke up at the airport near a terminal of a plane going to America. So, that's the origin of Sasuke and how he came to America. The story continues after the school intruder scenario.

The End... for now.

Female Elder: "Then, by all means, you have permission to raise this child as your own. As long as it doesn't interfere with your ninja training. Maybe you should try to teach him the ways of the ninja."

Female Elder: "That's enough, Tohru. Return to your home."

Tohru: "Fine, see you later, loser." Tohru leaves to gloat over his victory. Sasuke starts to cry.

Female Elder: "Don't cry, dear. Tohru is just showboating for his ego. If he keeps that up, he will answer to me."

Sasuke: "Elder, I messed up. In a real situation, I would be dead."

Female Elder: "That's true. Something tells me that you are not a murderer."

Sasuke: "Is that bad?"

Quentin: "Really? That's fine."

Sasuke: "Leave Chief Morris alone. It's not worth it killing someone else."

Quentin: " If only you knew, Aaron was the one that got me out of the slammer. He was so fed up with you getting away from you. In his eyes, he thinks of you as a dangerous monster ready to kill everyone in the city. And as for me, I want payback from you."

Sasuke: "Drop the gun, right now."

Quentin: "I'm not going to jail. You or the police are going to have to kill me."

Sasuke: "Then, you leave me no choice." The gym lights dim down. Aaron Morris regains consciousness.

Act 2 Scene 29: Oceanview High Parking Lot. Chief Aaron Morris and escaped convict Quentin Patterson were parked at the farthest parking spot in the school.

Aaron: "You understand the plan." He shows Quentin the school map. "I hear a rumor that The Ninjas might be students of this high school. I lied to the school that I was going to do a school assembly about doing time.You try to find anyone who wil react to my words. Understand."

Quentin: "Yes, I understand."

Act 2 Scene 30: Oceanview High Main Entrance. Quentin entering the main entrance. Aaron follows as well.

Security Guard: "Excuse me, sir. Can I help you?"

Aaron (quietly): "Oh, s-t." Quentin rushes the security guard. He grabs him by the neck.

Quentin: "Listen, you d-k! The Ninjas are here and I'm going to beat the living s-t out of them."

Security Guard (getting choked): "Wait a minute. You're that guy that got escaped from police custody." Quentin got very pissed and crushed the security guard's neck to death.

Aaron: "Quentin, what the f-k did you do?!" Quentin runs away from Aaron. Aaron rushes to the fire alarm and pulls the fire alarm. He then runs to main office and goes to the intercom. "Attention students and staff. There's a dangerous intruder in the school. Get out of the school immediately."

Act 2 Scene 31: Oceanview High Tennis Court where The Ninjas were eating lunch. The student body and the teachers run in a panic.

Justin: "Sasuke, someone's in the school that's after us."

Sasuke: "Don't panic. Whoever is inside the school will only see me. Boys, stay with your classmates and teachers so no one gets suspicious."

Steve: "You really thought this through."

Justin: "Okay, we won't be in the way. Be safe, Sasuke."

Steve: "Same here. Do whatever you can." Sasuke nods and throws a smoke bomb to leave.

Aaron (shaking his pistol): "Freeze, Quentin! I mean it! This wasn't part of the plan!" Sasuke enters the gym undetected.

Quentin (laughs): "Look at you. Trying to hold a gun. When you shot my arresting officer's tires, I didn't know what you were thinking."

Sasuke (thinking): "The police chief grabbed Quentin under all that confusion. I knew I should've kept track on the police car."

Quentin: "Drop the gun. You don't have the balls to pull the trigger." Aaron screams and fires two bullets, but misses Quentin. Quentin smacks Aaron with a pipe, knocking out cold. "Time to die, partner." Sasuke throws shuriken at Quentin.

Sasuke: "Don't kill him. I'm here."

Gang Member: "Sir, we need to do this. We are still a relatively new clan to the Japanese Underground."

Kohta: "Fine. I guess I have no choice." Kohta knocks on the door. The door opens and a few older yakuza appears. "My masters, I have it to your summit."

Yakuza Boss 1: "Let's get inside. We've wasted enough time." The older bosses go inside along with some of the Headless Dragon Clan except Kohta.

Kohta (to two shadowy figures): "Find anything involving the ninja boy that got away.

Anger and Rage Will Consume You

Act 2 Scene 18: April 9th. Chief Aaron Morris' Office. Aaron is throwing darts at a bad, blurry photo of The Ninjas. He is both depressed and angry that he couldn't arrest them.

Justin's dad: "Can I come in, sir?"

Aaron: "No. Leave me alone, Kevin."

Justin's dad: "Sir, please. The building is going to be full of holes if you keep on sulking."

Aaron: "Sigh. Maybe you're right. I'm going out for some air."

Justin's dad: "That would be best. Need any company?"

Aaron: "No thanks. I'll be fine. Really. See you tomorrow." Aaron leaves his office and goes to the local park.

Act 2 Scene 19: April 9. The local park. Birds are singing, a kid learning to ride a bike and a group of older men playing baseball. Aaron's sitting on the park bench while taking deep, calming breaths.

"I just a little on edge. No big deal." A newspaper lying on the ground beside him. He picks it up and starts to read it.

Old lady: "Excuse me, sir. That's my newspaper. Can I have that back?"

Aaron: "Oh, sure." As soon as he hands the paper to her, he spots an article in the paper about The Ninjas. He is tempted to yank the paper from the old lady.

Old lady: "Thank you, sir. Say, aren't you Chief Aaron Morris?" Aaron was starting to get a little steamed.

Aaron: "Yes, why do you ask?"

Old lady: "Well, it's kind of weird that you want The Ninjas behind bars. They're going a lot of good." Aaron loses it and punches the old lady down to the ground. "Get away from me or I'll call the cops!" Aaron runs from the old lady and makes sure no one saw him hurt the old lady.

Act 2 Scene 20: April 9. Aaron's car. Aaron is sobbing silently and screaming very quietly that no one can hear him. He then turns on the radio and hears a news broadcast.

Reporter: "The Ninjas took down a deranged and unstable man from shooting his ex-wife. Police identify the suspect as Quentin Patterson and in ninja fashion, The Ninjas disappear without a trace." Aaron turns off the radio and hears his cell phone.

Aaron: "Hello..." His wife is on the other line. "Hi, Carol."

Carol: "Honey, Bobby and I are worried about you. You can talk to us."

Aaron: "I know." He clears his throat. "I'll be home in 3 hours. I'll see you later."

Carol: "Okay. Bobby's making Firehouse Chili for dinner. We'll save a bowl when you come home."

Aaron: "Right. Sounds good. Okay. See ya later. Bye-bye". He turns off the phone and starts to drive somewhere.

Act 2 Scene 21:  3 hours later. The Morris Home. Aaron, with his wife and son, are eating chili.

Bobby: "How's the chili, Dad?"

Aaron: "It's good, sport. Really."

Carol: "It's good seeing you eat with us. We were starting to get worried about you."

Aaron: "Don't worry. The important thing is I'm here with both of you here with me."

Carol: "Listen, Aaron. We know that The Ninjas are giving a hard time. They're only helping the community."

Aaron: "They are secretly criminals in the Japanese Underground and they have plans with this city. I'm going to find what they are. I'll be in the shed. Knock first." Aaron leaves in the dinner table.

Act 2 Scene 22: Aaron's shed. Aaron is working on something.

Aaron: "This is the only option left to getting rid of The Ninjas once for all. That's where you come in." Aaron's talking to Quentin Patterson. In the 3 hours before he came back his home, he shot at the police car that Quentin was in and he put Quentin in his shed.

Quentin: "Why did you bring me here?"

Aaron: "I grabbed you because you are the most recent criminal that The Ninjas defeated. I know where they might be. I want you to find all 3 and kill them."

The End... For now.

Eddie: "There's his office." As he gets closer to Mr. Devine's office, Steve appears out of nowhere. "Whoa! Listen, man. I don't want to hurt you. My brother wants his revenge badly. I'll fight you if I have to." Steve does the "Bring it on!" gesture. Eddie charges at Steve only to be thrown down.

Steve: "Do you want to try again?"

Eddie: "No. Truth be told, I didn't want to do this. My brother pressured me to do this. In his mind, he assumed the reason why he got fired was because he's black. I don't think that's true at all."

Steve: "He has anger issues, doesn't he? Is that why Mr. Devine hired him as a bouncer?"

Eddie: "Probably."

Act 2 Scene 13: March 24. The Midnight Club main room. Sasuke and Justin are dodging attacks and gunfire from Jermaine.

Jermaine: "Is that all you bastards got? I'm not even tired." Sasuke throws the disco ball at Jermaine, but fires at it and explodes in a million pieces. Justin charges in and got a couple of good hits. Jermaine retaliated by kicking Justin in his chest causing him to fall down. Jermaine cocks his gun ready to fire. "Good bye, jackass."

Sasuke: "No! Don't you dare kill him." Sasuke was ready to throw a kunai knife at Jermaine's head. "If you do, you're going to wish that you were never born."

Jermaine: "Go ahead. I got nothing to lose anymore. My brother will confirm that he shot Mr. Devine any minute now."His walkie talkie is not going off. "Eddie, come in. Do you read?"

Act 2 Scene 14: March 24. Mr. Devine's office. Steve knocks on the door.

Mr. Devine: "Go away, Snipes! Leave unless you want me to shoot you." Steve throws a shuriken star at Devine's gun. His gun falls to the floor. Steve rushes in and grabs Mr. Devine by the collar of his shirt.

Steve: "Start answering some of my questions, okay? Why did you fire Jermaine Snipes? Give a good answer and I'll help my brothers deal with him. Don't bother calling the cops unless you want blood all over the club."

Act 2 Scene 15: March 25. The Road to The Midnight Club. Chief Morris and several cops on their way to stop The Ninjas and the Snipes Brothers.

Aaron: "All units. This is Chief Aaron Morris. Calls confirm that The Ninjas are at The Midnight Club. Once there, proceed with caution."

Aaron (to himself): "I'm not going to be made a fool today."

Act 2 Scene 16: March 25. Midnight Club Main Room. Mr. Devine ran from Steve and accidentally went to where Jermaine and the other ninjas were.

Mr. Devine: "Oh s-t! Jermaine, get away from me."

Jermaine: "I got you right where I want you." The Ninjas and Eddie grab onto Jermaine to make sure he didn't shoot Mr. Devine. "Get off me!" He kicks Eddie off him.

Eddie: "Jermaine, no!" The gun goes off. Jermaine missed Mr. Devine.

Jermaine: "You made me miss! WHY?!"

Eddie: "Because you shouldn't take a life no matter how angry you are. We both have a troubled past with Mom and Dad not helping us. I manage to channel that anger, but not you. Why?"

Jermaine: "None of your business why?!" Jermaine stuck Eddie and The Ninjas rushed in and beat Jermaine down to the ground. "Ugh... dammit." Sirens sounds and the cops rush in The Midnight Club.

Aaron: "Ninjas, you're under arrest. Huh? Where the hell are they?"

Cop 1: "They're gone, sir."

Aaron: "No, no, no!"

Act 2 Scene 17: March 25. Somewhere away from The Midnight Club. The Ninjas avoid any trouble getting home.

Sasuke: "Steve, what happened between you and Mr. Devine?"

Steve: "I asked him why he fired Jermaine from his job. He responded that he flat-out hated him. That was it."

Justin: "Whoa." Justin looks at his watch. "Oh, crap! We're very late."

The End... for now.

Ninjas Never Carry Guns

Act 2 Scene 8: March 24. A beach a couple miles from Oceanview. Justin and Steve showing Sasuke the nice beach.

Justin: "What do you think, Sasuke? Pretty cool, huh?"

Sasuke: "Yes, it is. I feel very relaxed."

Steve: "Good. Very good. It must feel different wearing different clothes especially doing regular things like this."

Sasuke: "Yeah. My village was in wooded areas. As a group, we all stayed together and we only leave our village only to train in the woods or go on missions."

Justin: "Did you have any fun? Not offending the way you live, but do you watch TV, or play baseball?"

Sasuke: "Not really. No. There wasn't any electricity. We lived off the land and hunted for our food while respecting all creatures."

Steve: "Wow, you're down-to-earth kid of a guy. Well, instead of flapping our gums; let's have fun shall we?" All 3 ninjas went on with their fun and did a lot of cool, fun things as friends.

Act 2 Scene 9: March 24. The beach during the sunset. The ninjas look at the wonderful sunset.

Sasuke: "Wow. What a beautiful sight."

Steve: "It sure is." Steve's cell phone rings. "Oh, I'll get this."

Sasuke (to Justin): "Living here is very nice." Sasuke spots two men running at a fast pace. Sasuke realized something is going on.

Justin: "What's up?" Justin sees Sasuke looking at the two men. "Uh oh."

Steve: "My parents said that I should get going."

Justin: "Uh, Steve? Sasuke's looking at two guys."

Steve: "What do you mean?"

Act 2 Scene 10: March 24. The apartment of the two men. Jermaine "Tiny" Snipes is yelling at his little brother, Eddie Snipes.

Eddie: "Bro, relax. You can get a new job."

Jermaine: "That's not good enough, Eddie! I got fired from that bouncer job because Mr. Devine is secretly racist!"

Eddie: "I didn't think he was racist. His wife was nice to us during the club picnic." Jermaine grabs a gun and starts to load it up. "Holy s-t. What are you going to that awful thing?" Jermaine throws a gun at him.

Jermaine: "Load that one up." Eddie shakes his head "No". "You better or you're dead to me." Eddie quickly loads up his gun.

Eddie: "It's done."

Jermaine: "Good. Let's get this over with." Little did the Snipes Brothers know, The Ninjas were listening in. The Ninjas depart and follow the Snipes Brothers.

Act 2 Scene 11: March 24. The Midnight Club. The Snipes Brothers grab their guns, leave their car and enter from the fire exit. The Ninjas enter the same door quickly.

Steve: "I'm a little worried. What if one of us get shot?"

Sasuke: "If you two get shot, I'll take the fall for you guys."

Justin: "But what if you get shot?"

Sasuke: "If I get shot, then..." One of the Snipes Brothers openfires and people start screaming.

Steve: "Holy s-t! Did anyone die?!"

Justin: "I don't think so. I think they're only targeting one guy." Some people running scared and others are frozen and breathing heavily.

Eddie: "You went a little too far, bro."

Jermaine: "I don't want to kill any bystanders. Just Mr. Devine. I'm simply scaring them." Jermaine goes to a microphone. "Where are you, Devine? Show yourself, you pig." Devine isn't around. "He's probably in his office. Eddie, go to his office."

Eddie: "Fine."

Jermaine: "If anyone tries to be a hero, scare and shoot them in the leg or arm. Understand?"

Eddie: "Yes, Jermaine." After Eddie leaves, Sasuke throws shuriken stars at the disco lights. Most of them broke.

Jermaine: "What the hell? So, you guys are here. I'm surprised you guys are here. Show yourselves." Sasuke and Justin show up in the dark, Steve went to get Eddie. "Wait, there are three of you. Where's the other one? Oh s-t!"

Sasuke: "Your reign of terror ends now."

Jermaine: "We'll see about that."

To be continued...

Always Lie, Never Tell the Truth

Sasuke (frantic): "Justin! Steve! Where are you guys?!" He runs trying to find them. He stops. "Oh, no..." He sees them both dead. "NOOOOO!" Kohta and the Headless Dragon Clan appears.

Kohta: "Too late, my friend. You couldn't save them."

Sasuke (angry): "You bastard!" Police sirens wail and police officers approach him.

Police Officer: "Sasuke the Ninja, you're under arrest for the murders of Justin Myers and Stephen Brandywine."

Sasuke (angry): "I didn't kill them." He points to Kohta. "They did it." The Headless Dragon Clan are gone without a trace.

Steve: "Mmmm! This is good, Mom. What is this again?"

Steve's dad: "Stephen, it's about your grades. Have you been studying?"

Steve: "Of course I have. I study with Justin at the library."

Steve's mom: "Honey, why are you getting C's and D's? You usually get A's. Are you playing video games at the library?"

Steve: "No."

Steve's dad: "Then what are you doing? Tell the truth."

Steve's little brother: "Yeah."

Steve's mom: "Donny, be quiet. Stephen, tell the truth."

Steve: "Okay. I get overwhelmed and I leave a little early."

Steve's dad: "That's still no excuse to stop studying."

Steve: "I know." The Brandywines continue to eat.

Act 2 Scene 7: March 23rd. Sasuke's Safehouse. Justin and Steve got a call to visit Sasuke at his home.

Sasuke: "Welcome, boys."

Steve: "Are you alright? You look terrible."

Sasuke: "I didn't get enough sleep."

Justin: "How much sleep do ninjas usually get?"

Sasuke: "A good amount. Enough to stay active when patrolling or fighting."

Justin: "Yeah, my dad got suspicious when I got a little more drowsy."

Steve: "I didn't tell you guys this, but I lied to my family on how my grades were dropping."

Justin: "Dude, I keep telling you to hide your grades."

Sasuke: "I think both of you need to work a little bit more harder on your schoolwork. Keep the ninja secret a secret. Your families will be in great danger if you die!"

Justin: "Sasuke."

Sasuke: "I'm sorry, boys. I never told you guys, but I've been getting nightmares of both of you dead. After every single act, I get some terrible nightmares. There will come a day when we mess up and one or two of us end up in the hospital or dead."

Steve: "Justin and I have bulletproof vests, right? Do you have one in your ninja outfit?"

Sasuke: "No, I don't. No one will miss me."

Both Justin and Steve: "That's a lie!"

Steve: "We both know you're alone. We don't want you to be alone. We're brothers no matter what."

Justin: "That's right. We learned from you on how to defend ourselves. You matter to us."

Sasuke: "Thank you, guys. I needed a kick in the ass to wake me up."

Justin: "Maybe tomorrow we can hang out and go to the beach."

Sasuke: "I'd like that."

The End... for now.

Ninjas Always Strike Without Stopping

Act 2 Scene 1: March 17th. Various Local News Channels are airing a lot of Ninjas stories.

Reporter 1: "I am here live at the Motorcycle Bar where the one of the Orange County Ninjas ended a violent St. Patrick's Day bar brawl between two men." TV changes channel.

Reporter 2: "The Ninjas saved a woman from getting raped by serial rapist Jonah Saunders." TV changes channel.

Reporter 3: "The Ninjas stopped an underground dog fighting circuit. The Ninjas assaulted the vile men and the dogs are now living at a local humane animal shelter. Doctors are checking all dogs for any physical injuries." TV changes channel.

Spanish Reporter 1 (translated to English): "The Ninjas are doing a lot of good for the various communities. Case in point, The Ninjas are secretly going to the Children's Hospital and giving healthy snacks to the children when they are asleep." TV turns off.

Act 2 Scene 2: March 17th. Oceanview Police Station. Chief Aaron Morris is upset that The Ninjas are not beind bars. He ponders about other things.

Aaron (to himself): "The Ninjas are guilty of assault and battery and home invasion. They are not killing their targets or stealing anything. At the same time, these guys are doing good deeds and stopping illegal acts. What I don't understand is why does everyone love them so much? When did the world become a comic book?!" A knock on the door. "Come in". It is Justin's dad. "Ah, Kevin. What do you want?"

Justin's dad: "I just overheard your ranting and raving. It is very strange that The Ninjas can harm a wealthy man and save a cat from up a tree in the same night."

Aaron: "So you agree with me?" Justin's dad shrugs his head.

Justin's dad: "In a way, but don't let this eat you up inside. Think about your family."

Aaron: "Maybe you're right. I'm getting some pizza. Want some?"

Justin's dad: "No thanks. I'm good." Aaron leaves his office.

Act 2 Scene 3: March 17th. Aaron is in his car thinking about The Ninjas still.

Aaron (to himself): "What is their motive? Clearly they are not killers or thieves. I'll need to talk to Thomas Tyson at the hospital.

Act 2 Scene 4: Thomas Tyson's hospital room. Aaron is there to ask Thomas some questions.

Aaron: "I'm going to be brief, Mr. Tyson. I'm just going to ask you some questions. After that, I'll be on my way."

Thomas: "Okay."

Aaron: "Why did The Ninjas show up at your house that night?"

Thomas: "I really don't know. All I know is that one of them said they came to my house to "punish me"."

Aaron: "Punish you?"

Thomas: "Right".

Aaron: "Not killing you? That's very hard to believe. Did they leave any evidence in your house?"

Thomas: "Actually, yes." Thomas points to the shelf next to his hospital bed. It was a kunai knife with a significant symbol of a shadow about to kill a person.

Aaron: "Incredible. I thought they were just a Japanese myth."

Thomas: "What are you talking about?"

Aaron: "The Order of the Shadow. They are a group of nomadic people that live in the woods of Japan."

Thomas: "Why are they doing here in California?"

Aaron: "I really know. I only have one more question left for you."

Thomas: "Sure."

Aaron: "Does someone have a vendetta against you? Be honest".

Thomas: "To tell you the truth, I have a lot of enemies. It would be hard to find the people who hired them. I just do my job to make a living."

Aaron: "I see. Get better soon. Do whatever you can to protect yourself once you leave the hospital. Good bye." Aaron leaves.

Thomas (to himself): "I'm going to find the people responsible for hiring The Ninjas and make them pay dearly."

Act 2 Scene 5: March 17th. Aaron's car. Aaron driving to his house.

Aaron: "The Ninjas are criminals no matter what. No good deeds will redeem these bastards. I will love to see them in a jail cell with no end in sight."

Justin's dad: "Sir, may I have a word with you?"

Aaron: "Not now, Kevin. Time to make history." Police cars start going to the Tyson estate.

Act 1 Scene 25: The Tyson estate. Thomas Tyson is giving the ninjas a run for their money. All 3 ninjas are on the ground, almost out of breath.

Thomas: "C'mon, is that the best you got? Why are you here anyway?" Sasuke stands up.

Sasuke (breathless): "To punish you."

Thomas (laughs): "Punish me? What kind of drugs are you on? I'm beating the crap out of you." Sasuke tries to punch Thomas, but Thomas grabs Sasuke's arm and twists it in another direction. Sasuke screams in pain.

Justin: "This is not good. He was training his ass off for this event."

Steve (to Justin): "Sasuke's going to lose his arm. How can we take Thomas down to our level?"

Justin (to Steve): "I don't know, man." (To himself) "I don't know."

Thomas (to both Justin and Steve): "Don't bother helping him out. Surrender quietly and I won't rip his arm off. You also will tell me who hired you."Justin and Steve both put their hands on the ground.

Both Justin and Steve: "We surrender."

Justin: "Let go of his arm." Thomas lets go of his arm. Thomas hears a faint wailing siren.

Sasuke: "You've made a big mistake trying to fight us all by yourself." All of Thomas' strikes miss the ninjas completely, but the ninjas' strikes connected to Thomas everytime.

Thomas (screams): "I'll kill you all, you f-king bastards!" Steve and Justin punch Thomas in the stomach causing Thomas to puke. They move away and Sasuke gives Thomas two finishing blows to the face. Thomas drops and falls into a concussion.

Act 1 Scene 28: The door to the exercise room. The cops start to slamming the door in.

Officer 1: "On the count of 3, smash the door. 1... 2... 3!" The door falls. The cops don't see the ninjas, but they see Thomas Tyson on the floor. "Chief, this is Alpha Squad. We've found Thomas Tyson. He's out cold."

Aaron: "And the ninjas?"

Officer 1: "Not here, Chief."

Aaron (screams): "God dammit!"

Justin's dad: "Aaron, I'm with Alpha Squad. We've found something that belongs to the "ninjas". It's a card. It saids "We have many names. You call us "The Orange County Ninjas" and we will never stop fighting the hidden evils of the rich and spoiled."

Aaron: "Very crafty, ninjas. Very crafty."

Act 1 Scene 29: The ninjas escaping into a wooded area. Both Justin and Steve are both carrying Sasuke with their shoulders.

People Do Fight Back

Act 1 Scene 21: February 22. An old warehouse outside of Oceanview. Sasuke, Justin, and Steve are tied up and blindfolded. The door opens and they hear footsteps.

Man: "I'll take off your blindfolds and I want you to slowly open your eyes." He takes off all 3 blindfolds. They slowly open their eyes and see an old man with a cane and next to him are bunch of young pre-teen kids.

Steve: "What is this?"

Justin: "How did we end up here?" Both Justin and Steve look at Sasuke. He does the "I don't know" gesture.

Man: "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dorian Ross. My wife Maxine and I ran orphanages for forgotten children. The kids learned about you from the local newspaper and the news. We found you and had you knock all 3 of you out. Sorry."

Steve: "Hold up. You know who we are? You going to call the cops on us?"

Dorian: "No. We didn't even take off your masks. We need your help. This warehouse was our last resort to give these kids home." Maxine appears.

Maxine: "Some horrible man wants to kick the children out of our care. They're going to end up on the streets and probably steal, commit crimes and do other horrible things to themselves and those around them." Sasuke is still silent.

Dorian (to Sasuke): "You, the quiet one, we know who the man is. His name is Thomas Tyson. He is a nasty man and doesn't care for the children. We keep on begging and pleading for him to help us out. He always declines."

Both Justin and Steve: "Sasuke..."

Sasuke: "We will help you... for  a price. This conversation never happened."

Dorian and Maxine: "Right."

Maxine: "Here's his address. Give him a run for his money." The kids untie them and the ninjas leave.

Act 1 Scene 22: February 22. The Tyson Estate. The ninjas got into the house with no problems. Sasuke orders Justin and Steve to go left while he goes right.

Steve (whispers): "Well, this is surprisingly easy."

Justin (whispers): "Yeah, but why did Sasuke go a different route?"

Steve (whispers): "Probably to scare Mr. Tyson in his bedroom."

Justin (whispers): "That makes sense, I guess."

Act 1 Scene 23: February 22. Door to the Tyson Master Bedroom. Sasuke enters the room and rushes to the bedroom. He then rushes to the bed and Thomas is not there. He hears the shower running in the bathroom. He goes in there and no one is in the shower.

Sasuke (whispers to himself): "Where is he? His car is in the garage." Then he realizes. "Oh, s-t!"

Act 1 Scene 23: February 22. The Exercise Room. Justin and Steve are trying to find Thomas until suddenly the lights turn on. Thomas appears in the blinding light.

Thomas: "Well, isn't this peachy? I've been waiting for someone to show up. It just so happens to be two "ninjas". Justin and Steve charge after him, but he grabs both of them and slam them both on the floor.

Sasuke (running to the exercise room): "Oh, God. I hope nothing is happening to them." He tries to open the door, but it's locked.

Thomas (to Justin and Steve): "Who told you to come here? Answer me, dammit." Sasuke trying to get in the exercise room. "Who's that?" They both don't talk. "Not talking, huh." Thomas grabs one of his weights, but then Justin punches Thomas' forearm.

Thomas (screams): "Ahhhh! You arrogant little bastard! I'll kill you!" Thomas grabs Justin in the neck and starts choking him. Steve elbows Thomas in the stomach and kicks him in the jaw.

Justin (to Steve): "I'm fine. Sasuke's trying to get in the room. Let him in." Steve runs to the door and opens it for Sasuke.

Thomas (to himself): "That really hurt. I'll call the cops on them, but first I going to the crap out of these "ninjas"".
