Reporter 3: "Where do you think your son and his friends are?"

Steve's father: "I have no idea where he is. My wife is pulling my hair and my other son wants to see his big brother again. Please Steve, come back."

Reporter 4: "Do you think your son will come back?"

Steve's mother: "I really hope so. I'm sorry if I hurt you, Steve. I just want to see your smile again."

Reporter 5: "Detective Myers, do you know the whereabouts on your son or his friends?"

Justin's father: "I'm not sure. The last time I saw him was in a cast. Son, you and your friends need to turn yourself in. Sasuke will be safe in police custody. All 3 of you will get a lighter sentence."

Act 4 Scene 12: Somewhere hidden in the woods. The Ninjas are training to attack the Headless Dragon Clan.

Sasuke: "All right, guys. Take five."

Justin: "Sasuke, do you think the cops will find the Headless Dragon Clan?"

Sasuke: "Knowing the cops, they are probably trying to find us."

Steve: "We'll be gone soon. I was able to pinpoint some leads to where the Headless Dragon Clan might be."

Justin: "Let's check the locations closer to us and then the locations far away."

Sasuke: "You guys really want to do this." Both Justin and Steve nod "Yes". "Wow, I was both your guardian angel in the beginning. Now, you guys are my guardian angels."

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.

The End... for Now.

Act 4 Scene 6: July 9th. News coverage of Sasuke surrendering himself to the police.

Anchorwoman 1: "Yesterday was a day that a lot of people will never forget. Two shadowy figures attacked at the airport. Injuring two teenagers and killing some of the security staff. The attack stopped when one of The Ninjas called 911 and surrendered himself to the police. This story is still developing."

Anchorman 1: "Two teenagers should be lucky to be alive after being attacked by two lethal assassins. Justin Myers and Stephen Brandywine are currently at Trinity Hospital. They are suffering cuts, broken arms, and broken legs. In other news, Al Chapman's mother, Donna, committed suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills."

Anchorwoman 2: "The two assassins are currently in hiding. No information so far on their whereabouts. In other news, prisoners that were brought to justice by The Ninjas mysteriously disappear overnight."

Act 4 Scene 7: Orange County Prison. In a solitary confinement cell, Sasuke is both scared and sad that Justin and Steve were attacked and unprepared to take on other ninjas like Tohru and Hanzo.

Sasuke: "How could I be so stupid?" Sasuke's prison door opens up. One of prison officers appears.

Prison officer: "The parents of the injured boys want to talk to you at the hospital. If you wish hide your identity, I will give you your mask."

Sasuke: "No thanks. I want them to see my face and show them how sorry I am."

Act 4 Scene 8: Trinity Hospital. Sasuke and the prison officer exit the elevator and head toward Justin and Steve's hospital room. Justin's father and the Brandywine family finally see Sasuke for the first time.

Justin's dad: "So, you are the one who recruited my son and his friend to a world of vigilantism. I only got one question, why?"

Sasuke: "I saved them."

Steve's mom: "What are you mean? You do know the charges my son got from hanging out with you. Breaking and entering, assault and battery, resisting arrest, and several other charges that you do know."

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.

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.

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!!!"

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.

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.

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: "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: "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: "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.
