"Enter Ken Finlayson" is the first part of a RandyCunningham:9ThGradeNinja fan fic series by Jet556.

The plot? Ken Finlayson is a new kid in Norrisville. He's heard that there are monsters, robots and a ninja but he hasn't seen them. His conclusion? It is all a conspiracy! Randy Cunningham is in on it! The Weienrmans are in on it! The crazy snake man at the end of his street is in on it! The poster of Anne Hathaway in his basement is in on it! He is going to prove that this is a conspiracy!
