The Monster I've Become
Part Ten
When the light had finally died, everything was quiet. Rigby who was knocked to the ground by the blast soon sat up. He jumped slightly as the soft chiming of the city clock tower began to fill the air. I was now midnight. Rigby felt his head throbbing. He felt a bit dizzy and tired. Suddenly a thought came to him mind.
"Mordecai!" He said finally.
He got to his feet and began his search for his friend. As the clock continued to chime, there was a soft rumble of thunder that filled the sky above him and rain began to drizzle down from the sky.
"Mordecai?" Rigby called as rain fell from above.
A light mist was already beginning to form as the fell harder and was soaking the ground. He looked around; desperately trying to find his best friend. The flames that had been burning on Skips' house and on the ground were already beginning to die out as the rain from above fell like endless tears.
"Mordecai!" Rigby shouted again; thunder and rain echoing in the background.
Soon, he stopped as his gaze landed on a figure laying motionless in the grass. Rigby ran toward it. He could see it had a black smoke that seemed to be emitting from it. As the rain continued to fall, the smog around the figure began to melt away into the grass as if it were nothing but dirt. As it did so, Rigby's eyes grew wide as he saw deep blue and feathers emerging from beneath it.
"Mordecai!" Rigby shouted.
He ran to his friend's side. It was then that he got a good look at him. Mordecai laid sprawled out in the grass; motionless and limp.
"Mordecai!" Rigby said again.
He turned his friend over gazing on at the sight. Mordecai had somehow change back to his normal self. Many cuts decorating his body and were bleeding quite a bit. His head now rested to the side; his eyes closed as if he were asleep. Rigby's ears drew back in sadness as he drew in uneasy breaths. He reached out slowly; clasping a furry hand in one of Mordecai's limp, feathered ones; gripping it tightly.
"Mordecai..." He said at last. "I'm so sorry." He paused briefly as his eyes began to swell up with tears that threatened to fall. "I never meant for this to..." He trailed off as his tears spilled down his face. "Mordecai." Rigby choked out. "You were the greatest friend a guy could asked for." He told him. "You were always like a brother to me... Please don't go?"
Rigby ran his hand through Mordecai's messy feathers. They felt so soft under his fingertips. Rigby choked back a sob.
"Please don't die?" He whimpered; his voice cracking slightly.
"Rig...by?" A weak voice moaned out.
Rigby looked up to see Mordecai was awake; though his eyes were barely open. Mordecai winced as a new pain washed over him. After a few moments, it was gone. Even breathing seemed to send pain throughout his body.
"Mordecai..." Rigby replied.
"What h...happened?" Mordecai groaned.
His vision was slightly obscure as he tried to look up at his friend. His breaths were coming in shallow gasps.
"You're back to normal, bro." Rigby smiled as fresh, joyful tears replaced his mournful ones.
"Where's Nightshade?"
"Gone. And it doesn't look like he's coming back anytime soon."
"Heh... Looks like we... Beat him... Didn't we?" Mordecai asked; giving a weak smile.
"Yeah dude. We kicked his butt." Rigby smiled back.
"That's... Good." Mordecai whispered before he relaxed; closing his eyes as he rested on the ground and his hand went limp.
"Mordecai!" Rigby said. Mordecai didn't answer.
"C'mon, bro, stay with me!" It was that moment that Skips made his way over and saw the two on the ground.
His eyes grew in shock.
"Skips! Call an ambulance!" Rigby shouted, turning toward him.
Skips nodded briefly before running off toward the house to use the phone. Rigby turned back to his friend on the ground.
"Don't worry, Mordecai. Just hang in there. You'll be okay." He told him; his voice cracking as he spoke; his eyes filling with tears once more.
As the rainy fog continued to fall, Rigby tightly gripped Mordecai's hand. Skips had soon come back with the others. Benson stared in awe while Muscle Man and High-Five Ghost looked on his shock. Pops was nearly in tears. Soon, they could hear sires ring out as an ambulance drove into the park.
When the emergency vehicle came to a halt, the paramedics got out, put Mordecai on a stretcher, and loaded him into the back of the ambulance. Rigby got into the back and rode to the hospital with the paramedics; while Benson and the others followed behind in the cart.
