Ninjago Beyond Application

Here is my group of characters for Ninjago Beyond.

 

When the bomb that destroyed all technology went off, one man was prepared. His true name was shrouded in mystery, but the locals called him Noodle Joe, as he was thought to be homeless and Randy who runs the supermarket swears he saw him slurping noodles out of a drainpipe once. Little did Randy know, he could now have been more wrong, for Noodle Joe was neither homeless nor slurping noodles out of that drainpipe (in fact, he was actually trying to see if his sneeze would come out the other side if he sneezed in one end). Noodle Joe was, however, Ninjago's local corn flake enthusiast and apocalypse conspiracy theorist. Noodle Joe had stockpiled away enough corn flakes to last him for years.

 

The old man with the metal hat, Master Betcha, was once the most feared bouncer in the land. Legend tells that he once ejected the a Sykovian Dragon from the Ninjago City brewery at which he was employed. However, on one fateful night, Master Betcha ejected an underage drinker from the premises, only to find out the next day that it was a young Steve Jobs. When Stevie sobered up the next day, Master Betcha paid dearly for this grave error. Steve used his influence to change Ninjago's law: it was now illegal for anyone OVER the age of 21 to be caught drinking (Steve paid for this decision a few years later. Also this law would become obsolete once the bomb went off.) Master Betcha, an uncontrollable drinker of water, lost his job, and was became a degenerate bum who hung out in alleyways and did unspeakable acts just to get a quick shot of water. He's been to jail like a ton and let me tell you, he's seen things that would make you paint your knickers yellow.

 

However, this is where Master Betcha's grandson, Hugh, comes in (the one with the flaming red hair). Master Betcha found himself in a familiar situation. Slumping against a dumpster in the worst neighborhood in Ninjago, he raised a Dasani water bottle to his lips, thinking "how did I end up here again?" His whole body shuddered as it trickled down his throat. He knew that he would just end up thirsty again later. This was no permanent fix. But he just couldn't help himself. He had tried everything. Rehab, photosynthesis, alcohol, but none of it matched the cool, refreshing feeling he got when he gulped down that blissful H2O. Suddenly, that mailman guy from the TV show came up to him.

"You Betcha?" he asked.

"You betcha." Master Betcha replied.

The mailman handed him a letter and walked off, not eager to be seen with such a unfashionable person. Master Betcha opened the letter and read it. Apparently, his grandson had anonymously cyberbullied his parents out of the house, and child services was asking Master Betcha to watch over the boy. Master Betcha got up, hopeful. If he could do right by this boy, then maybe, just maybe, he could do right by himself. Maybe this boy who happened to also be the world's greatest cyberbully, was his chance to redemption.

 

Master Betcha adopted Hugh. Hugh was able to cyberbully Steve Jobs into sending funds to an mysterious bank account belonging to a Mr U. Nderagedrinker. With the money, the Betchas had been able to buy a house on the outskirts of Ninjago City, next to a shack belonging to a crazy old man named Noodle Joe. Master Betcha began to train Hugh in the ancient art of the bouncer, called "Bounce-Ing" (pronounced like "Bounce_EEEEEEENGGG").

 

However, Master Betcha had foolishly trusted his grandson and invested all his money in Bitcoin. When the bomb went off, Master Betcha was left completely bankrupt and unable to feed either himself or Hugh. Noodle Joe, however, offered corn flakes in exchange for one thing: help in vanquishing his enemies. You see, Noodle Joe despised the people of Ninjago for naming him Noodle Joe. As a child, Noodle Joe's village was invaded by a man named George Eo, heir to the Eo noodle dynasty. Noodle Joe was forced to watch as George Eo personally choked out each of his family members with a piece of lo mein. Ever since, Noodle Joe has sought vengeance on George Eo, and wishes death upon all those who call him "Noodle Joe". Since that's everybody, Noodle Joe sees the world as his enemy, so the Betchas really have their work cut out for them. Not to mention, Hugh has kept up his cyberbullying through the mail, and sends Noodle Joe anonymous troll letters making bad jokes about noodles and telling him his quest folly.

 

What ensues is a heartfelt sitcom about the strenuous relationships forged by an obscene amount of cornflakes, an addiction to water, and the technology-free cyberbullies who lurk in the shadows of society (AKA regular bullies.) Thanks for reading all that and I hope you consider me!!!
