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."

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.

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): "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.

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"".

Justin's dad: "Probably." The house phone starts to ring. "I'll get it." Justin's father leaves the kitchen and Justin texts Steve with his cell phone.

Justin (texts): "Steve, did you watch the news?"

Steve (texts): "Yes. Sasuke really did a number on Johnny. I'm glad he didn't kill him, but that was overboard."

Justin (texts): "Yeah, no kidding. Did Sasuke talk to you after that?"

Steve (texts): "No. He just said that no one threatens him or "his brothers"."

Aaron: "I don't blame you, Detective Myers. The truth is we can't allow these thugs to show ruin this town's reputation."

Officer 1: "Those guys are seriously going to pay for scaring the community."

Aaron: "Believe me. I would love to lock these guys up and throw away the key. Their criminal record is growing at an alarming rate. It's probably some of the street gangs and drug addicts trying to steal money from the residents."

Justin's dad: "Can I say something?"

Aaron: "Sure."

Justin's dad: "Do you think these guys are a local gang? What if they're from a different country?"

Kohta: "How is the search for the lone ninja?"

Yoshitaka: "Not very well, sir. Every step we take is just another dead end for us."

Kohta (angrily): "Try harder, dammit! I will not rest until every single ninja is dead!"

Yoshitaka: "Yes, sir. Very sorry to give this bad news. I will see if I can find another lead." Yoshitaka leaves.

She claims that 3 men dressed in black broke into her house and stop her son from committing the homicide."

Steve: "Thank God for that." Johnny Andrews then appears.

Johnny: "Hey, Steve! You better stop looking at my girlfriend in science class!"

Steve: "Johnny, she happens to be my science partner. Nothing sexual is going on between us. Get off my case!" Steve pushes Johnny. "Johnny, I didn't mean it."

Justin (whispers): "What?! No." Then, Mrs. McQueen's alarm clock rings. It is 4:45 am.

Sasuke: "Okay... listen. I'm sorry. I thought you guys couldn't handle it. I guess I was wrong. I'm impressed that you two defeated Eric without killing him. Very impressive."

Steve: "Oh, man! It's 5:15 am."

Steve: "We're killing him?!"

Sasuke: "No, but we are going to hurt him."

Justin and Steve: "Why?" Sasuke turns on his computer and shows Eric's criminal record.

Justin: "Oh."

Sasuke: "I've been spying on him while you guys were at school. Eric has been getting in a lot of trouble with the law since he was 14. Assault, petty theft, selling illegal drugs and the list goes on to his early 30s. Do you want to know why he isn't in jail?"

Justin: "I don't know."

Steve: "Neither do I."

Sasuke: "Because his mother's money and the crooked cops get him acquittals. Currently, he bought some things to get his mother's money all to himself."

Steve: "Like weapons?"

Sasuke: "Sort of... more like an undetectable poison in his mother's glass of water next to her bed."

Justin: "You were stalking Mrs. McQueen also? Dude, that's f-ed up."

Sasuke: "We've wasted too much time. Get in your ninja garb."

Eric McQueen: "Mother, I am your only child and it is tradition that I take over the estate once you pass away."

Eric throws a glass at the wall and said, "You witch! I will get the estate and the fortune no matter what." He walks out the door and slams it.

Act 1 Scene 10: February 16, Outside the McQueen Manor. The ninjas wait for the clock to reach 4:30 am.

Sasuke turns off the security system and says, "You guys ready?"

Justin and Steve: "Yes."

As all 3 ninjas run through the front yard, Eric McQueen is slowly poisoning his mother's drinking water.

Eric: "That should do the trick. Oh yeah, one more thing." He then changes his mother's alarm clock to sound at 4:45 am.

The ninjas are now inside the house and so far kept themselves very quiet.

Steve (whispers): "You got to admit, this house doesn't creak." Justin trips and a candy dish falls off and lands on the floor.

Eric: "What was that?" Eric quickly rushs to the security room and notices the cameras and alarms aren't working. He enters the living room. "Who's in here?"

The ninjas are outside a doorway and being very quiet. Both Justin and Steve are very nervous. Sasuke prepares to throw something. Eric turns on the lights.

Eric: "You're pretty good at turning off the alarm system. What do you want? Leave now and I won't call the cops." Sasuke throws a wood shuriken at Eric. Eric dodges until Sasuke charges in and trips Eric mid-air.

Justin: "Holy s-t!" On the ground, Eric sees all 3 ninjas and laughs.

Eric: "Is this some of joke?" Eric charges at Steve and smashes Steve into the window.

Eric: "I got nothing to lose in 3 minutes. Going make this count."

Sasuke: "Guys, get down!" All three drop to the ground and they stay there until it was over.

Steve: "Whoa! What the f-k was that?"

Sasuke: "A booby trap just in case someone got suspicious. We're close to the safehouse."

Steve: "Hold on. You're a real ninja?"

Sasuke: "Yes. I came from Japan because my village was under attack by a yakuza group."

Justin: "Seriously."

Sasuke: "Yes. I should not have brought you here. You should just leave and forget about me."

Justin and Steve: "No."

Sasuke: "What? Why?"

Steve: "Because to the truth is we can't stand injustice, bullying, intolerance and everything else that is negative."

Justin: "Our town looks like a wonderland, but it is really a dark and gloomy hellhole driven by greed and hidden evil on every gated community."

Steve: "The cops are corrupt, the wealthy can buy their way out of a situation and the wealthy are teaching kids our age the wrong things."

Justin: "My dad is a good man and Steve's family are also nice; everyone else are bunch of jerks."

Sasuke: "That's all I need to know." He finds the safehouse. "Ah, there it is. What do you think, guys?" Justin and Steve are speechless.

A football lands on Steve's head. He lands on his side.

Justin: "Whoa, what the hell?" It is the quaterback of the Oceanview football team, Johnny Andrews.

Johnny: "Oops! I should've said, "Heads Up"." Johnny rushes to get to school.

Justin: "Steve, are you alright?"

Steve: "Yeah. One of these days I will going to hit him."

Justin: "Alright, relax. So no one wants to be your Valentine."

Steve: "No."

Justin: "Yeah, me neither."

Act 1 scene 6: February 14, Sasuke, at his safehouse.

Sasuke: "Teaching my new friends the art of the ninja is going to be very hard especially if they have school and family life. I showed them this nice place; I need to show the dangers and then I will ask them again if they really want to be ninjas."

The End... for now.
