## Book Description

The second part of the epic Ninja Saga! Can Dave, Carl, and the Ninja Squad defeat the evil ninjas and save the day?

## Prologue

Carl sits with Seth the Elf on the roof of Seth's five-story dojo in the hidden village of Elfington. As they drink pumpkin tea, Seth says that when Master Cowbagio passes away, he should be the next master. Carl says that he will probably live longer than both of them.

Seth then says Carl is in a dream and he should return to real life. He throws Carl off the roof, and Carl wakes up in real life. He sees that Dave and the others are still battling the ninjas, so he rides Master Cowbagio into battle.

## Plot

Dave battles some of the evil ninjas and helps the Ninja Squad fight the other evil ninjas. He manages to defeat all of them and then takes off one of their masks, revealing a villager. Meanwhile, Carl and Master Cowbagio are attacked by E4. Just as he is about to attack, one of the ninjas comes and saves him. Just then, more evil ninjas arrive, but more of the Ninja Squad come to Carl's aid and fight the evil ones.

Dave sees more of the Ninja Squad fighting off zombies, and he helps them. Meanwhile, Carl fights E4. Master Cowbagio gets scared and runs away and just as E4 is about to finish him, other evil ninjas say they need to keep him alive. Dave comes across another group of ninjas, who have just defeated some evil ninjas but just then, more evil ninjas come and force Dave and his friends to surrender.

The ninjas lead Dave and his friends to their base. They face many mobs but easily vanquish them. Finally, they climb a mountain and then press some buttons to open a door. They enter the evil ninjas' headquarters where they meet 2 evil ninjas, Skar and Wex. Two of the good ninjas try to fight back but then, Skar gives them nightmares. Then Wex turns invisible and knocks them out. Then she prepares to throw them in lava.

Just as Wex is about to throw them in lava, she laughs and says it was just a joke. Everyone is too shocked to say anything and they quietly go to their jails. Soon, Dave is called by some of the evil ninjas. He meets their leader who is called Nexus. He asks Dave if he is their leader and he says he is. He asks them why they were sending zombies to Hay Bale and they say it was for the Harvest.

Dave asks Nexus what that is. He first talks about his clan of ninjas, who had found a magical block knows as the Elemental Block. The person who touched it would get superpowers for a day. He then talks about the Harvest and says that it makes you immortal.

He explains that the Harvest was a ritual made by a man known as the Ancient. It was a ritual to make one immortal by sacrificing many villagers. Dave says that is horrible and Nexus agrees but says it is worth it. Nexus offers him the opportunity to join them and become immortal, which he agrees to. He says he will send Dave and his friends to a room where they can chat but also warns him that he can see and hear anyone, anywhere. Hence, he warns them not to betray him.

Dave talks to his friends about Nexus's offer. He says they could become immortal if they join the Ninjanos (evil) ninjas but does not mention the sacrifice, or the fact that he is lying. The ninjas leave the decision to Carl, who asks Dave if he is sure. Dave says he is and Carl agrees.

Dave goes back to Nexus's room and he asks him what to do next. Nexus asks him about the sacrifice since he hadn't mentioned it. Dave says he is sure they will agree and if not, they can always throw them in lava. Wex says she does not trust him but he says that he wouldn't betray them because he wants immortality.

Nexus tells him about his first assignment, a village in a snow biome some distance away. He tells them to blow up its walls and capture the villagers. He says he will send some of his ninjas with Dave because he does not trust them yet. Dave agrees and asks him for one thing-stopping the zombie attacks on Hay Bale. Nexus agrees and says he will send Skar.

After spending a day in the Ninjanos base, they leave for the snow village. Wex asks him which path to choose and he selects one. On the way, Carl asks him if it is all a ruse, or if they are really joining forces. Dave forces himself to says it is true and in a stroke of brilliance, says he trusts them as much as Adam, who formerly betrayed them. Carl is first confused but later understands.

That night, they make a small house and sleep in it. Wex and the other evil ninjas say they will guard the house. In the house, the good ninjas ask Dave if it is a ruse. He says no. The next day, they continue on their way to the village. It becomes increasingly cold and suddenly, they see an arrow whiz past them.

They see strays, who shoot arrows at them. One of them hits Wex and she gets slowed down. She tells everyone to attack and they do so. Dave realizes it is the best time to betray them and takes out his bow and starts shooting the bad ninjas. He then orders his ninjas to attack.

At first, the Ninja Squad is confused. However, Carl understands and orders them to attack. The good ninjas easily destroy the Ninjanos ones, with the exception of E4. Just then, Dave realizes Wex is missing. He thinks she has made herself invisible and then she shows herself. She holds Carl, a sword pointed at his neck. Dave tells her to surrender but she just laughs and vanished with Carl.

Dave explains why he had first joined the bad ninjas then betrayed them to the Ninja Squad. They ask him what to do next and he says they should go to the Ancient's base using zombies created by the zombie spawner he had. However, a ninja says that they should also rescue Carl. Dave thinks about it for some time and has an idea.

He suggests that he should use invisibility potions to make himself invisible, sneak into the Ninjanos base and perform his secret plan. He also tells them to take the zombie spawner and use it to create a horde of zombies to attack the evil ninjas. They agree and split up. Dave takes out an invisibility potion and chugs it.

Wex carries Carl back to her base. On the way, they come across roughly 200 evil ninjas, led by Skar, who are going to attack the Ninja Squad. Skar asks her why she had got Carl instead of the spawner and she said she could only get one thing, and the spawner was out of her reach. After conversing for some more time, they proceed towards the base. Wex heads inside the base and talks to Nexus. Nexus tells Carl about his power and says he can see and hear what they are planning. He says he cannot see Dave since he is invisible but says he will soon be caught. After Nexus and Wex finish talking, Wex puts Carl in his jail cell. He hopes for Dave to come and free him soon.

Dave finally reaches the Ninjanos base after a long amount of time. He realizes there are two buttons that he needs to press at the same time, but does not know how to. He has an idea and makes a Nether Portal. He sees his invisibility has worn off and then looks for a zombie pigman.

After finding a zombie pigman, he takes out a wooden sword and hits it. The enraged zombie pigman charges towards him and Dave runs. As he passes other zombie pigmen, they also follow him. After many zombie pigmen start to chase him, he looks for the Nether Portal but to his horror, cannot find it.

Skar sees a huge army of zombies ahead. Since Nexus had already warned him about that, he knows what to do and gets prepared with his fellow ninjas. They charge into battle and easily beat the zombies. The Ninja Squad attacks them from above but the evil ninjas manage to beat them. Skar asks one of them where the spawner is but he refuses to answer. Just then, a few other ninjas get the spawner and Skar says he does not need his help.

Dave tiredly climbs up a netherrack hill. He sees his portal in the distance, beyond a lava river. After speedily bridging past it, he rushes into the portal. After entering it and going to the Overworld, he drinks an invisibility potion. The confused pigmen wander around and haphazardly enclose Dave between them and the ninja base walls.

Dave had been planning to force Nexus to open the walls with the zombie pigmen, but it fails. As they randomly wander around, they start closing in on him (though they cannot see him) and he starts to get crushed. He presses one of the two buttons and hopes a zombie pigman will press the other.

Just as he is about to be crushed, one of them presses the other button. They rush into the ninja base, where evil ninjas rush out to attack the zombie pigmen. He runs to Carl's cell and starts breaking his prison. However, he feels something hard on his neck and sees a gold sword on his neck, held by Wex.

Carl asks Dave what happened and he says Wex is there. Just then, his invisibility potion runs out and he becomes visible. However, he hears something and sees a horde of zombie pigmen run towards them. While Wex is shocked, he quickly knocks her out and then puts her in a jail cell so that she doesn't die.

Dave picks up Carl and they run from the zombie pigmen. After some time, however, they see zombie pigmen coming towards them from the front too, trapping them. Dave has an idea and takes out some dirt. He uses it to block up the passageways. Then he takes out a torch and lights up their tiny area.

The two of them hear the sounds of evil ninjas fighting the zombie pigmen. Dave realizes that they will soon be captured and takes out his last invisibility potion. He gives it to Carl and tells him to go to Nexus's throne room and touch the Elemental Block. Carl does so and just then, Skar breaks a dirt block. He tells Dave that he and the Ninja Squad will be thrown in lava.

Carl hears Skar tell Dave that he will be thrown in lava and knows he has to act fast. He runs past the main room, where all the ninjas and Dave were being held. He reaches the throne room and presses the button to reveal the Elemental Block. He touches it and hears a voice in his head, saying it can grant him great power. Carl asks for an obsidian suit but the block says it knows exactly what to give him and does so.

Carl sees he is still a tiny creeper. He tests if he has become super strong but realizes that he has not. Just then, he sees a man in the shadows of Nexus's throne. He warns him to stay back as he got superpowers from the Elemental Block but the man says that the block had given Carl him. The man steps out of the shadow and Carl gasps as he realizes who it is.

Dave and the Ninja Squad were tied next to the pit of lava. Nexus tells Dave that the ninjas were looking for Carl and would find him soon. Just then, a few ninjas go flying into the pit of lava. Carl walks in and Nexus orders the ninjas to capture him. Carl tells them to wait and says he wants to introduce them to a friend of his. A ninja holding the Elemental Block jumps from a bridge above down onto the floor.

The Ninja Squad gasp upon seeing the attire of the ninja. The ninja takes off his mask and Dave realizes who it is: Seth the Elf. Seth quickly frees Dave and the ninjas from their bondage and gives them the Elemental Block. All the ninjas and Dave touch it and get superpowers. Dave's face, clothes, and body turn to diamond. Carl then orders the ninjas to attack.

The ninjas and Dave easily overpower the bad ninjas. Just then, Skar makes Dave see nightmares. While Dave relives his worst moments, and invisible Wex captures Carl. She tells everyone to stop fighting, else she will throw Carl into the lava. Reluctantly, everyone changes into their normal forms and drop their weapons. She then orders a few ninjas to get the Elemental Block.

Just then, Master Cowbagio comes out of nowhere. She licks the Elemental Block. The ninjas told to get the Elemental Block to look scared but Wex orders them to do it and kill Master Cowbagio. The cow turns towards the ninjas and turns them into the grass. Nexus and Skar rush to attack her but she turns them into the grass. Dave tells Wex and the other evil ninjas to put down their weapons and they reluctantly do so.

Dave tells the ninjas to remove their ninja robes and change them into normal villager attire. Then he tells his ninjas to touch the Elemental Block again. One of them, with the power of super speed, ties them all up. Then they open the entrance to the ninja base so that the zombies created by the spawner can capture the evil ninjas.

After some time, the zombies arrive. They capture the evil ninjas and carry them away. Dave says that they should follow them as they will go to the Ancient's base and they can stop him from performing the Harvest. They agree. On the way, Seth starts to fade. He touches the Elemental Block and explains that if he touches it every day, he can stay in their world. On hearing this, the ninjas suggest that Seth become their leader (since Dave and Carl would have to leave soon) . He agrees and they all cheer.

## Epilogue

Wex felt angry at Dave and the other ninjas. She vowed to make them pay when she was freed. Just then, she sees E4 some distance away. He quietly comes and frees them. The other ninjas ask her to save them too but she says she has to go. As Wex silently slips away, she thinks about Dave, thinking that following the zombies was a good plan, but it went against her. And if anyone tried to go against her, they would always lose...
