The claw left the body with a sickening sound and the ninja watched on in horror as blood fell to the earth, followed by the body of a red headed boy. The sorcerer laughed maniacally in the background. Randy kneeled to the fallen boy's side with grief stricken face. He never felt the painful transformation back from beast to boy, as claws formed to hands and held onto the broken form of his beloved friend. The pain filled eyes looked at him with intend to reassure the student.
"I'm sorry Nomi. I couldn't defeat him." Randy whispered brokenly, so the people surrounding them wouldn't hear him address the former book of old ninja wisdom.
"Not...your fault, Randy. I should...have been more...care-ful." The Nomicon said.
Tears welled upin Randy's eyes behind the mask. The moment played on repeat in his mind over and over. How his sharp beast like claws - courtesy of the sorcerer - had pierced through the Nomicon's chest and teared on flesh. How Nomi had fallen to his knees, an unreadable expression on his face. Sadness, regret, anger...forgiveness.
"Don't go! You can't leave me now..." he spoke and Nomi smiled weakly at him. They both knew he was dessperate for the ancient book was beyond saving.
With a final exhale, Nomi closed his eyes and used his last efforts to give Randy the ghost of a kiss on the lips. The ninja could feel his heart breaking at the gesture, for he had felt the same since the Nomicon had turned into a human to help him protect Norrisville.
Now it was too late to return the gesture, the other's body dead in his arms and no life found in these brilliant eyes, now glossed over and lifeless. So he did the only thing he could and wept, for the people who died today in the crossfire, for loved ones lost, and for Nomi, his mentor and love.
