    And we're back in the past and can check the eyrie archive
    once again.


    Here's where you can find this and more Ultimate Ninja
    Action! (Had a bit of trouble finding this one because
    I thought it would be somewhere else besides the
    Ultimate Ninja folder, but no -- it was in the Ultimate
    Ninja Folder):

    https://archives.eyrie.org/racc/lnh/Series/Ultimate.Ninja/


    And it's Ultimate Ninja #10 add-on (which, yes, should've
    probably attached this one to the last issue, but here
    it is instead) by Steve Hutchison (creator of The
    Invisible Incendiary)!

    Is it finally time to find out who keeps the LNH's
    heating bill reasonable?!!!


    Possibly!

    [The long-awaited humiliation of the Ultimate Ninja as he discovers
    that Net.Heroes will NOT be denied their caffiene, especially for
    the dubious pleasure of (ugh) lime and banana slurpees...]

    <John Byrne style white-panel, with caption: "Inside the LNH Furnace">

    Red-tinted voice bubble from inside:
    "Now maybe he'll pay attention... NAH!"

    <Second John Byrne style white-panel>

    Voice bubble: "Hm. I wonder if the party started yet..."


    The party roared into action. EVERYONE that was EVERYONE was there!
    Ultimate Ninja came in his ceremonial dressy Ninja suit, which looked much >better than the carbonated cola outfit he had been wearing earlier. UN was >amazed at the turnout. Even some of the more obscure characters were
    there.

    Ultimate Ninja walked to the front of the assembly hall and onto a
    makeshift podium that Pocket man had found in a pocket somehow.
    [He makes a somewhat sappy speech, only slightly incoherent.]

    Then raising a glass of slurpee to the air he shouted.

    "LONG LIVE THE LNH!" a burst of excitementfilled the room as the entire
    group joined in cheers. "NOW LET's Eat!"

    <Ultimate Ninja's room, after the party...>

    `Hello, again, grasshopper.' <The voice is in the familiar
    slightly colored word bubble used in past.>

    "What? You again? When will you show yourself you faceless fiend?"

    `Really, UN. You call yourself a ninja, how long have you been
    practicing the ancient arts of invisibility?'

    "What? You know ... But of course, you must be a ninja yourself."

    `Ha! Hardly. Just someone who's seen power-crazed maniacs like
    you come and go dozens of times.'

    "Ah so. You are either Old Comics Man, or ... Of course. YOU."

    `Ah so? You've GOT to be kidding. You want PC Person to come
    interrupt our conversation?'

    <closeup: The ninja's eyes widen, the only part of his face
    visible in his formal dress ninja-suit.>

    "So, Incendiary. Tell me why you filled my room with... this
    substance..." <he points to thirteen tons of canned soda>

    `Because, I, unlike you, have got a clue, man. The LNH is made
    up of people, and I use the term loosely, who REQUIRE their
    caffienated beverages. Your alleged leadership ability has
    so far consisted of intimidating the other characters, in your
    own books, or being portrayed as an arrogant ass, in other
    people's books. You can of course make your own decisions
    about what to do to rectify this situation, assuming of course
    that you're able to tell that it needs to be rectified.'

    <Closeup on Ninja, eyes narrowing, a macho stoic expression
    concealed by his ninjamask. >

    "You use the power of the concealed flame on your own leader?"

    `Sigh. Look, I'll support you as much as any of these guys.
    Maybe more. Just don't expect me to applaud your stupid
    and high-handed decisions. And don't expect me to drink
    that insipid stuff you put in the Slurpee machine. Either
    put a certain four-letter cola beverage in one side, or I
    will continue to ensure that we get sufficient of our beverages
    of choice, through your own (ahem) good offices.'

    <Ninja winces, realizing that he has been ... punned.>
