Synopsis
Freshman Toby Brooks discovers the "NinjaNomicon," which reveals that he has been chosen to be California's newest Ninja. Armed with his power-packed Ninja Suit, he faces his first battle with McFist's monster Krakenstein, while juggling his new secret identity and being there for his best friend, Howard.

Part I
On the first day of school while driving that old cart from school, Rochelle sneaks over to Toby and asks him if she can copy his work. Rochelle claims that they had the exact same summer and goes back to his desk after Mr. Bannister throws a shoe at him. Toby goes into a flashback of the summer...

The last summer did start out the same; at its beginning, Toby and his best friend Howard Cunningham, finished the video game Grave Puncher in seven days. They then finished the video game Grave Puncher II. At last they finished Grave Puncher III.

The day after, however, The Creep leaves a box, so Toby finds a box in his room. He opens the box and sees the NinjaNomicon which he throws to the side. He then finds a note in the box that reads, "You are the Ninja," and finds the Ninja Mask and puts it on. He is ready to run over to Howard's house and tell him, but then he finds another note that says, "You can't tell anyone."

Back from the flashback, they're at Ca Frost Science Academy High (or CFSA for short). However, Rochelle doesn't like the idea of transferring to a new school where she would rather meet her team.

While at the classroom, the overbearing English teacher, Mr. Grouse, orders his students to write a five-hundred-word paper about their summer break. Toby realizes he just wrote that he was the Ninja all over his essay as Mr. Bannister starts collecting the papers. Toby quickly rips up his paper and hands the fragments to Mr. Bannister. As an excuse, he says that it represents the fleeting nature of summer; Bannister buys this and gives him a B.

Later, Rochelle starts talking about how the Ninja hadn't shown up for the past two days. Toby comments that it doesn't really matter, but Rochelle states that they are his number one fans. Toby protests that it's not like the Ninja can just smoke-bomb on by for a "Meet-n-Greet," but then comes up with the idea to do just that. During lunch Toby goes to the bathroom and Rochelle notices the other 4 new girls in school: Kara Prince, Karen Boonchuy, Zoe Danvers, and Vikki Tisdale. Rochelle then yells to Toby that he will eat his tater tots if Toby doesn't get out. Toby then smoke-bombs in as the Ninja. He shows off his sweet ninja moves to everybody. He is about to leave when Rochelle holds on to him and tells him to wait until Toby gets out of the bathroom. Olivia McFist is at school with her husband in Principal's office, because his stepson Bash Johnson has been bullying people (including Bucky Hensletter) since the school year started. Hearing students running outside who are saying that the Ninja is in the cafeteria, Slimovitz runs out, and Bash takes the opportunity to escape. McFist runs out, calling on King to release the Krakenstein.

The Krakenstein attacks the Ninja, who locks it in the bathroon after hearing the bell. Returning to class as Toby Brooks, he suddenly remembers the NinjaNomicon. Using the excuse of having to go to the bathroom, he quickly returns home, directly to his room, to find the NinjaNomicon, and when opened, his mind is absorbed by the book, which tells him

"Believe in the weapon that is in the suit"

Toby takes this to mean that he himself is the "weapon" and that he simply needs to believe in himself.

Afterwards at CFSA High, Rachel feels threatened by Rochelle and so hears Karen sings Telephone by Lady Gaga with her to express her jealous. This ends up encouraging Karen further, as she thinks it's fun and so wants to join Glee Club. Karen says she'll think about it for her answer on that and storms off nervously and almost angrily.

Meanwhile, Toby cycles back to CFSA High, only to be tripped in the hallway by Rochelle. Rochelle, ignoring him, tells Toby that he is not leaving until she admits to Toby about the school news that she already signed up for the glee club and will starts in Wednesday. So in order to get their attention, she starts a food fight with them and the entire school, until it got into a big mess and Rochelle slam dunks Meatball-like dodge ball into Howard. This hurls him blasts him out of the school, hit into the pole and landing in a trash basket. Howard and Toby enjoy a laugh over the match that just transpired. After a moment, the pair scream in panic as they realize that they have busted a hole into the wall.

Mordecai laments his decision to play-wrestle instead of going outside to work. He worries that the pair will get fired. When Rigby asks how the two will fix the hole, Mordecai reminds him that they can't fix it, and can't afford to pay for it. Mordecai suggests that they convince Benson to give them raises so they can cover the cost of repairs.

Rigby agrees that getting raises is the perfect solution, and tells Mordecai that they should ask Benson, and use Hamboning to convince him. When Mordecai suggests just explaining the situation, Rigby mocks him and again suggests Hamboning, that Hamboning will save his life someday. Mordecai insists that they are not going to use Hamboning, and Rigby pulls out a red keyboard. Impressed, Mordecai asks him where he got it from, and Rigby replies, "I have my methods".

In a flashback, a Wizard leaves the keyboard on a park bench while he relieves himself behind a bush. Rigby sneaks up and takes it.

Back in the present, Mordecai asks how the keyboard will get them raises. Rigby responds by playing a few notes. Impressed, Mordecai asks if Rigby has named the keyboard. Rigby allows Mordecai to choose the name, and Mordecai chooses "The Power" because he has always wanted to date a girl by that name. Rigby announces that he likes the name, and "The Power" magically appears on the keyboard.

Part II
He let the Krakenstein out of the bathroom stall so that the Ninja would show up. However, Randy manages to ditch Howard while they watch the Krakenstein causing chaos, which angers Howard.

Randy, as the Ninja, smoke-bombs into the chaos to fight the Krakenstein, as the other students cheer him on. Randy then fights the Krakenstein for a while, and manages to temporarily subdue the Krakenstein, only for the Krakenstein to reveal a secret arm, which easily overpowers Randy. A confused Randy looks through his suit, and discovers his sword; he realizes that the Nomicon meant for him to believe in the literal weapon that was actually inside the suit, admitting that that makes way more sense. Randy then easily defeats the Krakenstein via dismembering it.

Later, Randy returns to Howard to tell him that he's figured out Randy's secret. Randy tells them that he's so glad and that he was dying to tell them, and changes into the ninja in front of them. However, Howard actually thought that Randy was sneaking off to have the bathrooms all to himself. When Howard realize that Randy is actually the Ninja, Howard is overjoyed. Randy then tells them that they can't tell anyone, which disappoints Howard.

Randy then smoke-bombs them both away, causing Howard to say that the smoke-bomb smells like farts. Randy says that they'll get used to it.
