Ninja Gaiden (Ch. 17 + 18)

PREVIOUSLY ON CYRIL READS NINJA GAIDEN: After traveling halfway around the world to seek vengeance for his father's death, 13 year old Ryu Hayabusa has suddenly realized that he's having a very bad day. Within the last few hours he's been kicked off of a college campus, he got in a fight with some dude at a local bar, he's been shot, he let his only lead get injured, he nearly died by falling out of a mine cart, he accidentally lost the only statue standing in the way of total world destruction, fell to his death again, beat up on a couple of bosses and has now come face to face with the evil Jacquio creature. What is our hero Ryu going to do? Will he be set ablaze when he's hit by Jacquio's lightning attack? Will he Ryu finally defeat the monster and learn what happened to his father? Only four episodes remain until the exciting conclusion of Cyril Reads Ninja Gaiden!

You've managed to survive the first eight episodes and now you want to know what all this is leading to. Talk about a cliffhanger, when we left off Ryu was about to get pummeled by a lightning strike, perhaps the same lightning strike that killed his father. How will he get out of this sticky situation?

But let's not get ahead of ourselves, because we still have Cyril Reads Ninja Gaiden episode 9 to deal with.

In case you have yet to listen to the first eight episodes, I suggest you go back and do that now (I'll wait). To everybody else that is caught up I proudly offer you Cyril Reads Ninja Gaiden chapters seventeen and eighteen ...
