Chase Cooper here, and this is my ninth diary as a 6th grade ninja. The Scavengers are back, and if you've been following my story, then you'll know it's not all gumdrops and lollipops over here. If it were just The Scavengers, I might've been equal to the challenge, but this time they've brought their leader - an eighth grader named Victor. He's everything that Wyatt is, only a bajillion times worse. Victor won't rest until he takes away the most important thing in my life, and guess what? He's doing a bang up job of it. As if that wasn't enough, let's also toss in the fact that my best friends are getting framed for the destruction of the new Buchanan statue! Time's running out, and I have to finish what The Scavengers started a couple weeks back, but I'm freaked that this could actually mean the end of my rockin' ninja lifestyle.
