~Third Person P.O.V~

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Norrisville.

Many of the citizens were out and about but most of them were at Norrisville's Pet Park playing with their pets.

This gated park, like most parks, had a few rules but it's most important one was-

"No entry without a pet?" Randy reads the sign in annoyance. "So wonk!"

"If our parents would have let us go splitsies on a monkey, we'd be ruling this pet park." Howard sighs and lifts up a tiny red motor bike and helmet. "Guess we don't need these anymore."

Howard throws them in the trash before the two walk away from the park, hands in their pockets.

"Our entire plan was monkey contingent." Randy rants. "Contingent. Now what are we
supposed to do?"

"Hi Riley's boyfriend!"

"Mason!"

Randy and Howard turn around at the call, with Randy blushing a bit, to see Mason and Riley making there over to them with a new addition scurrying on all fours beside them on a leash.

"Hey guys." Riley glances at Randy and blushes a bit. "Hi Randy." She then notices their down expressions. "Why so glum?"

"We want to get in the Pet Park but since we have no pet, we cant." Howard huffs before glancing down at the girl's smaller companion. "Whats with the weasel?"

Riley rolls her eyes before glancing at the ferret sitting beside her feet. "This is Basco, our Grandparent's ferret. They're visiting this week and asked us to take him to the park for some exercise. Ain't that right Bascoe?"

Bascoe made a sound in agreement and starts sniffing Randy's foot making him laugh. Kneeling down, he gives the small rodent a few pats. "Hey there little guy." A sudden thought comes to him making him look at Riley in worry. "Um, Riley are okay in going to the park? With your um..." Silently referring to her fear of dogs.

Riley catches onto what he's saying and smiles a little. "I'll be fine as long they aren't any big ones." She glance at the park nervously and leans in to ask. "You didn't see any did you?"

Randy shakes his head while standing back up. "No, the only one there is Buttermaker's and it's about the size of soccer ball."

Riley's sighs in relief.

"What are you talking about?" Mason ask curiously.

Riley just ruffles his hair. "Nothing. Now lets get to the park. Later guys."

Randy is the only one to wave them off while Howard only huffs some more. "Even Davis got to go in. This is so unfair!"

Randy sighs and pats his friend on the shoulder. "Calm down. We'll figure-" A large shadow flies over them making the friends pause and watch as McFist's hovercraft flies over a nearby lot and makes a circus themed building appear with a sign saying 'McFREAKS'.

A robo-ape dressed up in stripped shirt and straw hat popped out from behind a podium.

"From the darkest jungles of Detention Island, McFreaks! So McFreaky, you'll McFreak." The robo-ape announces to the forming crowed.

"Oh, man!" Howards groans throwing his hands up. "There were McFreaks on Detention Island? We should get in trouble again so we can go see 'em." He says this last part to Randy.

"Or... " Randy says honestly not wanting to go back to that place. "And I'm just
saying or, we could go to the McFreak Show."

Howard eyes lit up at the idea.

"McFreak Show!"

The boys as the rush in, pushing people out of the way to get to the front and were in immediate awe at what they were showing.

 The first thing they saw was a thing that had a head of a bear and an octopus body that was twirling batons in each tentacle.

"It's the Brucest thing I've ever seen." Howard says in excitement.

Randy sees something out of the corner of his eyes and quickly brought Howards attention to it. "Only because you haven't looked over there."

It being a large snake with multiple arms playing rock music on two multi-neck guitars.

"I wonder if it takes requests?" Randy wonders aloud while Howards gaps at something else.  

"Cunningham..." Howards nudges him to get his attention but fails.

"No, I think it's a set play list. Maybe if I threw it a few bucks-"  Randy get cut off  by Howard turning his head towards something.

"Cunningham, look!"

Randy looks and gasps at the sight of a baboon with four extra farting butts.

"Barnabutt Jones." Randy reads the sign to the enclosure in complete awe.

"I found my spirit animal." Howard comments happily.

While those two admired the farting primate, just above then in the hovercraft was McFist lounging in a hammock sipping on fruity drink relaxing.

"Ahh, taking the weekend off from destroying the Ninja and Kunoichi is just what I needed. My McStress level is at an all-time low. Plus, I came up with this profitable McFreak Show. Go me!" He sips his drink while Viceroy felt his eye twitch from his boss taking credit for his idea. Again.

"So my plan to round up the freaks from Detention Island and exploit them for money was your idea?" Viceroy clarifies while walking over to his boss.

McFist, oblivious at always, simple raises a hand happily. "High-five, Viceroy.
One on one."

Viceroy just stares at him blankly.

McFist lifts up his other hand. "Two on two. Come on, smack it, do it, let's celebrate me."

Viceroy just huffs and goes back to his chemical lab.

McFist frowns at this. "Where you going? I got a high-ten with no one to smack it."

Viceroy stands next to a large sheeted bird cage while holding a spray bottle full of pink chemical. "I'm going to give the McFreaks their dose of Awe Juice."

The covered cage starts shaking.

"Of course, Awe Juice. And that is..."

Viceroy removes the sheet to reveal a snarling parrot shark trying to break out of it's cage

"Yikes!" McFist yelps.

Viceroy gently sprays the creature making it turn docile and cute.

"Awe Juice." Viceroy explains. "It stops the Gy-Yikes before they become Gy-Yooos."

McFist laughs nervously before going  back to relaxing. "Really feeling good about today."

                                                                 ~~With Randy and Howard~~

"I've seen many a Bruce things in my time," Randy says as he and Howard walk out of the McFreaks show. "But Barnabutt Jones is..."

"El Bru-chismo." Howard finishes while clasping his hands together. "If we took him to the pet park, we could rub everyone's faces in any of his four butts."

"You're right." Randy stops mid-step making Howard do the same. "I absolutely should use my Ninja skills to spring him."

Howard exclaims in excitement. "Yes, do that. Quick, before the Nomico-"

The Nomicon flashes red inside Randy's hoodie.

"Ugghhh! Right on cue." Howard groans crossing his arms. "Gonna have fun? PZZST! Not on my watch." He puts his face close to the Nomicon. "I hate you. You hear me? Haaate."

Randy sighs. "Better see what it wants."

Looking around, Randy runs over to some bushes, sits down, a opens the book.

"Arwoooh!"

~Inside the Ninja Nomicon~

When Randy opens his eyes, he sees a Samurai Guard and a wolf inside a small cage.

A doodle Ninja steps up and flings the guard away before slicing the cage open to release the animal.

The Nomicon's lesson suddenly appears.

                                                              -What is wild should not be caged.-

"Wait." Randy gasps. "You're saying-that I should-Because they're-and I-Ohhoho! Nomicon, you are the cheese!"

Doodle Ninja wraps it's scarf around Randy and flings him out of the book.

~Back Outisde~

As Randy opens his eyes, he sees Howard standing over him.

"Well, go ahead." Howard grumbles looking annoyed knowing the Nomicon would ruin their fun. "Tell me how the Nomicon shoobed us sideways."

Randy just smiles. "It didn't. It didn't shoob us any ways."

Howard blinks. "Wait, it said- that you said-because they're-And you're-!"

"That's exactly what I said!" Randy cheers.

                                                                                           ~~Time Skip~~

After the McFreaks show, Viceroy was giving the McFreaks their dose of Awe juice as McFist walks in.

"Whoa, Viceroy, what's the rush?" He starts leading Viceroy out of the building. "I was thinking you and me could cruise down to PJ McFlubBusters, have some laughs, like we're a couple of regular shmoes."

"When you don't focus on the Ninja and the Kunoichi, you are a totally different person." Viceroy points out in amazement.

"I don't even care what those old pajama-faces are up to." McFist says happily while punching in the security code. "I call them pajama-faces. That's a first..."

The moment the two walk out of the building, with the door closing behind them, Ninja jumps down from his hiding place.

But the moment his feet touched the ground, a laser grid buzzed to life with many more following after.

Jumping quickly through the hallway to avoid the lasers, Ninja was able to land safely into the showroom.

Humming smugly to himself, Ninja takes a step only to step on a button setting off the alarm.

Ninja gasps and whips around in time to see a robo-ape appear in the doorway.

"Intruder! Intruder!"

"Ninja shushing ball." Ninja throws the ball into the robot's mouth silencing it.

The young hero paused to think. "Or was that a Ninja boom ball?"

The robot explodes.

"I gotta start labeling these things." Ninja walks up to the enclosure holding Barnabutt Jones.

The small farting creature was chittering and dancing in place at the sight of Ninja.

"Aww! You are the cutest thing." Ninja cooed before taking out his sword. "Let's get you outta here."

Barnabutt Jones cheered as Ninja cut hole through the glass and set him free.

But just as the two were about to leave, Ninja hears sniffling and turns to see the other McFreaks watching them sadly with tears in their eyes.

Ninja felt his heart being squeezed.

                                                                                    ~~Time Skip~~

Howard was in Randy's garage going through some stuff while waiting for his friend to come back with their new pet.

"Hey, Howard."

Howards turns around at his name hold up two pieces of wallpaper samples. "Trains or cowboys? What do you think?"

Randy just smiles before gesturing to the many other McFreaks to come over.

"I think we're going to need a bigger bed."

Howard gasps.

"What do you say?" Randy asks. "Splitsies on four McFreaks?"

Howard doesn't hesitate to agree. "Splitsies on four McFreaks!"

The two did their handshake and partied out with their new pets.

                                                                                ~~Next Day~~

~Riley's P.O.V.~

"Thank you for taking Bascoe on a walk again, dear. He always gets so hyper when we travel." My Nana thanks as I got the ferret ready for the walk again with Mason beside me.

"No problem Nana. Bascoe and Mason love the Pet park." I say while making my way to the door.

"Have fun kids! I'll have some of my seafood casserole ready for when you get back!"

I felt my face go green while I held back a gag at the mention of the dish.

Taking a glance at Mason, I see his expression was similar to mine.

Swallowing a bit, I threw a stained smile over my shoulder as we walked out the door. "Sounds great Nana! We'll be back later! Bye!"

"Bye Nana!"

Stepping out of the house and closing the door behind us, Mason and I simultaneously shudder at what we would be returning to.

"We'll grabs some fries from the Bucket on the way back. Sound good?"

Mason eagerly nodded his head.

Getting to the Pet Park, and double checking for any large dogs, I let Bascoe off his leash and let him and Mason play.

About 15 minutes after arriving, I hear the gates to the park get thrown open and turn in shock to see Randy and Howard sporting sunglasses strutting in with a bunch of...... mutants? Trailing after them.

"Whoaaaaa...." I hear Mason whisper in awe with Bascoe in his hands.

This snaps me out of my stupor just in time as Randy and Howard took the leashes off their....pets.

"Riley, Riley, can I please, please, please play with one of them please." Mason begs while tugging on my sleeve.

"Um.." I look at the creatures unsure. "A-ask Howard or Randy first."

Mason doesn't hesitate to shove Bascoe into my hands and make a beeline towards Howard.

Shaking my head, I walk towards Randy as he was watching over his pets.

"Randy, what the heck is happening? What are these things?" I ask gesturing around.

Randy faces me with large smile on his face. "Isn't it great! They're our new pets that we saved from McFist! And I know what your gonna say, 'Randy, you know we can't misuse our Ninja powers.' "

I close my mouth because that was exactly what I was gonna say.

Not that I would admit it.

"Well," I clear my throat. "I highly doubt the Nomicon approves of this."

"Thats the thing." Randy says with a grin. "It 100 percent approves!"

I stared at him disbelief. "Your kidding."

"Nope." Randy shakes his head. "What is wild should not be caged. Was it's exact words."

'Huh..' My shoulders slump. 'Well if the Nomicon said so...'

A sudden commotion snaps me out of my musing and turn my head to see a small rodent attacking the large snake with nine arms.

Seeing this too, Randy was quick to jump and pry the small rodent off the reptile's face, scolded it, and sent it away with it chittering angerly.

The snake McFreak slithered up to Randy holding its nose and obviously hurt by the attack.

"Aww, you need a kissy, make boo-boo go bye-bye?" Randy baby talks to the snake.

The snake nods his head making me cover a smile behind my hand at the wholesome scene as Randy gave the snake's nose a small kiss.

Cute~

~Third Person's P.O.V.~

McFist and Viceroy were returning to the McFreaks show tent from a night at McFlubBusters.

"What a night." McFist throws a good natured arm around Viceroy's shoulder as they make their way to the show cases. "Now I know what PJ McFlubBusters means by 'Open Till Question Mark'."

Moving the curtain aside, Viceroy gasp in alarm. "Gy-Yikes!"

"Why'd you 'Gy-Yikes'?" McFist asks.

"All of the McFreaks have escaped." Viceroy gestures to all the broken show cases with no McFreak in sight.

McFist looks around freaked out while bringing a hand to his head. "Ugh! I'm starting to feel stress."

Viceroy side eyes him. "Then I probably shouldn't tell you that their Awe Juice is about to wear off."

This causes McFist to yelp. "Why didn't you give it to them earlier?!"

"I would have if somebody hadn't kept me out till question mark!" Viceroy points out annoyed.

"G-Yooooo..." McFist winces.

Viceroy glances at his watch. "Oh, in about 30 seconds,G-Yooo can say that again."

McFist just groans in response .

                                        ~~ 30 seconds later with Randy, Howard, and Riley.~~

The Pet Park in 30 seconds flat went from fun and wholesome to screams of panic and fear as the McFreaks started wrecking havoc and attacking owners and their pets.

Randy, Howard, Riley, and Mason were watching all this on a nearby bench in confusion/shock/fear.

"Is it me or are the McFreaks acting a little extra freaky?" Randy asks.

"A little?" Riley says incredulous while giving him the side-eye as the parrot shark chases Buttermaker as he dives under a table with his dog for cover.

Not to far from that Barnabutt Jones was backing Greg into the fence while blasting out farts.

"Skee-BOO, man." Greg gags in disgust. "Skee-boo!"

"What did you do?" Howard ask Randy in a accusing tone.

"Me?!" Randy says in disbelief. "I've been sitting next to you."

"Yeah, but I didn't do anything, so obviously you did."

"Guys! Instead of playing the blame maybe we should-" A sharp whistle cuts Riley off and makes the group look towards the entrance of the park to the see the Nine armed snake signaling for the rest of McFreaks to hop into the car it just stole.

Randy and Riley ran out of the park just as the car speed off

"Things just took a turn for the Ninja." Randy says to Riley who nodded.

Riley quickly glance back to the park and yells. "Mason! Watch Bascoe and stay with Howard! I'll be back soon!"

With that, the two partners quickly run after the get away car after suiting up in an empty alleyway.

                                                                             ~~Time Skip~~

"SMOKEBOMB!"

"McFreaks!" Ninja calls out before his partner quickly pulls him out of the way of a charging Octo-Bear's path.

"Man, they're doing a real number on this place." Kunoichi comments glancing around at the destruction the McFreaks were causing.

"Please, Stop this senseless shoobing." Ninja tries again but the Parrot Shark dived bombed the two heroes and started chasing them while firing acid spit at them. "You have to chill."

The two took cover under a car but that proved to be useless as the Octo-Bear lifted it while growling at them.

This makes the two heroes bolt quickly only to trip over the 9-Armed Snake that was carrying a parking meter in each hand.

"Uh oh." Kunoichi squeaks out at the parking meters were suddenly thrown at the two.

Ninja and Kunoichi dodge most of them but but one was able to knock Kunoichi away.

"Kuno!" Ninja cries out while dodging the last parking meter before landing infront of the McFreaks. "Bad 9-Armed Snake."

A large tentacle grabs him. "Uh-oh."

All the McFreaks growl down at him but Ninja wasn't giving up. "Rondo, stop. You don't want to do this. None of you do. You're good McFreaks." He looks down at Barnabutt. "Barnabutt, please, anything as beautiful as you can't be bad. Talk to them. They listen to you."

Rondo, the Octo-Bear, took this moment to to squeeze Ninja making him fart.

A small part of him was glad Kuno wasn't there to see that.

Miraculously, the smelly sound seemed to get through to Barnabutt as the creature farted out something to the other McFreaks that made them calm down and release Ninja.

"Thank you, freaks." Ninja thanked them.

It was at this moment, Kunoichi stumbled over rubbing her head.

"What'd I miss?" 

"Nothing but the power of friendship and farts!" Ninja says heroically while wrapping an arm around his partner.

Despite the weird sentence, Kunoichi felt herself blush a bit under her mask. "Cool. So what now?"

"Now we gotta get these guys back in my garage where they belong."

The moment he said that, McFist's hovercraft suddenly loomed over the group making the McFreaks growl and hiss.

A Robo-ape's voice rang out. "You are property of McFist Industries. Come quietly or be shocked."

"Great timing." Ninja says sarcastically. "I just got them to calm down."

Several Robo-apes quickly descended and surrounded the group each holding a stun gun stick.

At once the two groups ran at each and started battling.

Ninja quickly used his scarf to fling a charging Robo-ape at wall while Kunoichi used a baton to block an incoming stun gun and kicking off her opponents head.

The McFreaks were able to handle their attackers easily until Barnabutt was being backed into a wall by three Robo-apes.

Barnabutt glanced around in fright until a sword sliced the middle robot in half. 

"Mind if I butt in?" Ninja laughs at his joke while Kunoichi face palms near by. "Because he's got all these butts and..." Seeing no one laughing, Ninja clears his throat. "I'm just gonna stab you now."

The three then went at it with each other until one of the robots grabbed Ninja by the scarf and punched to the ground.

"Yep, that hurt. Ow!" Ninja groans holding his head before gasping when a Robo-ape stands over him with a Stun gun at his chest.

Seeing his friend in trouble, Barnabutt shoots a powerful fart blast that destroys the robot.

Ninja jumps to his feet sending Barnabutt a thumbs up. "Sonic fart. Schnasty!"

Suddenly, a ray of light washes over the group and starts lifting them up towards the Hovercraft.

Once on the ship, Robo-apes surrounded the group again.

"You have fun, McFreaks?" McFist asks mockingly stepping forward. "I hope so, because you're going back in your cages forever!"

Multiple grunts stop McFist's rant just as Ninja and Kunoichi dragged themselves out from under Rondo. 

"Rondo, when we get home, we're having a talk about personal hygiene." Ninja says sternly while Kunoichi took deep breaths of fresh air.

"Ninja and Kunoichi?" McFist says in confusion before gasping. "Ninja and Kunoichi! The one weekend I try not to catch the Ninja and Kunoichi, I catch the Ninja and Kunoichi.... Get them!"

Ninja and Kunoichi gasp as more Robo-apes with stun guns drop from the ceiling and surround them.

The two teen heroes did their the best to fight off the Robo-apes but were soon overpowered and pined to the ground.

"Viceroy, Aw Juice the Freaks then destroy the Ninja and Kunoichi!" McFist orders as Viceroy steps forward with the spray bottle.

"What the cheese is Aw Juice?" Kunoichi asks grunting trying to break free while eyeing the bottle.

"It's the chemical compound that keeps the before from becoming an after." Viceroy explains before moving towards the McFreaks. "All right, back in your cages."

Struggling to break free, Ninja and Kunoichi blinked as the Nomicon's lesson appeared before their eyes.

                                                   -What is wild should not be caged-

Ninja gasps in realization. "Oh! Totally missed that." He looks the McFreaks in remorse. "I'm sorry, McFreaks. I was no better than McFist. You don't belong in cages or in garages."

"Garages?" McFist repeats in confusion. "What's he talking about, garages?"

"Kuno you with me?" Ninja ask looking at his partner.

She smirks under mask. "Always."

With new determination running through them, the two heroes were able to break free from their captor's hold and sent them flying.

Simultaneously, the two teen heroes used their scarfs to each grab a Robo-ape guarding the McFreaks.

Ninja spun his into a wall destroying it while Kunoichi spun hers into Viceroy knocking him down and send the Awe-Juice into the air.

Ninja quickly takes out his sword, leaps into the air, and slashes the bottle to pieces. "Ninja juice Slash!"

"How am I supposed have a McFreak Show without Awe Juice?" McFist complains loudly.

"You're not." Ninja declares as the McFreaks stalked closer to the two villains growling and hissing. "No one is."

McFist and Viceroy backed away in fear before Viceroy pulls out a button activating an escape pod that ejected them from hovercraft.

Everyone looked down the hole the villains escape through for a moment before a thought comes to Kunoichi.

"Uh....does anyone know how to fly a hovercraft?" Kunoichi ask hesitantly.

9-armed snake raises a hand.

                                                                          ~~10 minutes later~~

On Detention Island, there was now a crashed hover craft on the beach with it's passengers scatter around the sand dazed but unfarmed.

"I think," Ninja says lifting his head off the ground. "The better question would have been, Does anyone know how to land a hovercraft?'"

"Noted." Kunoichi grunts shaking the sand out of her pony tail.

 Ninja gets to his feet and looks at the McFreaks. "Listen, I was wrong to keep you as pets. You should be free. Welcome back to Detention Island, McFreaks."

All the McFreaks chittered and purred happily as they all brought Ninja into a group hug with Kunoichi smiling at the scene.

That was until Barnabutt farts into Ninja's face.

Ninja breaks form the hug laughing. "Hahaha Barnabutt, come on, man. I'm trying to make a moment. Haha. You know what? That was perfect. I love you to death. I can't top it. I'll miss you guys."

Each McFreak said their good byes before going into the jungle and disappearing into the tree line.

Kunoichi moves to stand next to her partner as he kept his eyes on the trees.

"Hey." Kunoichi starts, putting a hand on his shoulder. "You gonna be okay?"

"Yeah, I'll be okay." Ninja sighs. "I'm gonna miss them though."

Kunoichi smiles under her mask. "And I'm sure they'll miss you too. You and Howard did a pretty good job taking care of them. Even if it was only for a day."

"Yeah...."

It goes quiet as the two stare off into the jungle.

"....how are gonna get back home?"

"....no idea."
