Finding A Way Out - Prologue

RC9GN
Summary: A normal day on the job for our resident Norrisville Ninja. Until he along with Theresa get trapped underground! What will they go through and how will they get out?

    The last classes of the day just released at Norrisville High, and many students were in the halls and outside school, chatting with friends.

    Suddenly the ground began to rumble, and the students began to panic.

    A giant robotic earthworm shot out of the dirt, and everyone ran for safety.

    The worm hissed at them and started to attack.

    Randy, who was with Howard as usual, turned to Howard. “Looks like it’s Ninja o’clock!”

    Randy ran behind the school and pulled on his mask. He appeared as the ninja on top of the school building.

    “Alright Robo worm, let’s go down”

    He flipped off the building and ran towards the abandoned janitor cart, where there was a long hose. He pulled it and ran around the worm’s body multiple times and then let go of it. He stopped in front of it and pulled his last move.

    “Ninja Air Fist!”

    The worm was pushed back and toppled into the large tunnel it emerged from, and crumbling the edges of the side.

    Students came out of their hiding places and cheered the ninja for defeating yet another monster robot.

    Theresa smiled as the ninja defeated the worm. She pushed herself away from the back of the school building, which she was leaning on, and walked away from the back.

    The giant hole in the ground was lying a couple feet away as she rounded it to get far from it.

    But what nobody noticed, the sides of the hole were still collapsing, and were falling in. And soon, Theresa had unnoticely fallen in with the chunk under her feet.

    Randy, still as the ninja, pulled out a smoke bomb from his suit, and was just about to drop it, when he spotted Theresa falling into the large hole in the ground.

    “Ninja Sprint!” He yelled, thinking quickly, and mindlessly throwing his smoke bomb behind him, which emitted several coughs for air behind him.

    Randy plunged into the large hole and dived for Theresa, trying to get close enough to grab her. He closed his eyes and pushed himself forward. He quickly opened them again and grabbed Theresa around the waist with one arm, and felt Theresa wrap her arms around his neck.

    The loose dirt and rocks were closing the hole and the light was diminishing from his eyes, making it harder for both of them to see.

    Randy grabbed his scarf and quickly threw it upwards hoping it would catch onto something.

    He let out part of his breathe as he felt them slow down to a stop. He couldn’t be too sure until he knew that it was safe.

    But how far was the bottom?
