Rachel silently hoped he was alright.
Randal walked into the school with Rachel.
It was quiet inside, Randy was still where they last left him with Nightshade.
Randy's face looked pale even with the ninja suit still on, and he wasn't awake.
Rachel's eyes widened.
Nightshade looked up at them. "He hasn't moved..."
Randal slightly swallowed at the sight, he was worried that something like this would happen but he didn't think Randy would slip into a coma, maybe he was just unconscious...
He then let Rachel down.
Rachel made her way over quickly and carefully. She looked down at him. She pulled the mask off and let out a sob when she saw how badly he was really hurt.
Where she had stabbed him was still pumping blood slightly, so was his hand.
The stab in the side looked worse than they thought.
It looked like she had stabbed him and then dragged it downward. It was a deep gash starting at his rib cage area and stopped near the start of his leg.
She was sobbing hard as she looked at his injures. She felt so useless and like it was all her fault. She turned away.
Nightshade looked at Randal nervously. "We need to tend to these."
Randal looked at Nightshade. "I know." He replied walking over to Randy. "But...he lost a lot of blood...Do you think any hospitals will be still running?"
"Maybe... I'm not sure." She replied sadly.
Randal then dug into his ninja suit, pulling out some strips of cloths. "We can patch him up with these." He said, handing some to her.
She started trying to wrap them up.
Randy seemed to fidget when they touched up his injuries, especially the nasty one on his side.
Randal looked at him.
Rachel looked over. "R-Randy?" She crawled over slowly.
Nightshade glanced at her.
Randy winced as his eyes somewhat opened. His breathing started to pick up slightly as he became more aware of the situation.
Rachel wasn't sure if she should try to help, seeing as she was the one who caused this...
"Hang on Randy. I'm checking to see if the hospital is still open..." Nightshade told him.
Randy didn't remember his wounds hurting this bad or bad enough for a hospital. "...R-Rachel?" He asked.
Randal glanced at Rachel.
She came over. "I'm here..." She said softly.
Randy faintly smiled for a second. "...I thought I heard your voice."
"To be honest it was probably nightshade's..." She gave a small laugh. "But still... I'm not leaving you..." She said with a slight wry smile.
Randy noticed his ninja suit was off, which explained why he felt so weak. He then peered up at Rachel, seeing her eyes were blue, literally and maybe metaphorically blue. "...Did we win?"
"Yeah...We did. We won. He's gone."
"For real? W-ow." He said, slightly flinching.
"Well at least from this world."
The illusion of the castle had started to fade and the people started waking from the bubbles and the said now empty bubbles vanished.
Everything was turning to normal.
Randal watched the people moved about before looking at Nightshade.
Randy sighed as his eyes closed, just resting them.
She was calling the hospital.
Kitty and Rose came over super confused.
Randal decided to try and explain what happened to Kitty and Rose.
They looked at Randy.
Rachel stayed beside him.
Nightshade looked up. "The hospital isn't answering..."
Randal ran his fingers though his hair, seeing Randy might go unconscious again or worse. "This isn't...maybe we could take him there?"
"It wouldn't be wise to move him..." nightshade said.
Rachel looked at her. "I can go there and get someone..."
"...Are you sure?" Randal asked, noticing Randy barely stirred at her offer.
She looked down at Randy and back at Randal. "I can't sit by and do nothing while watching him slip out of my grasp. I've already lost enough people I loved in my life. I'm not losing another when I can do something about it."
Randal nodded his head. "Then you better go. We'll watch him."
She nodded and shakily stood up.
Randal worriedly watched Rachel. He couldn't believe after everything that she went through, she was now going to go by herself to get help. "Maybe someone could go with you?" He suggested.
"Yeah...That would probably help..." she replied, trying not to fall over.
Quickly, Randal went over to help Rachel. "You still have that smoke bomb?" He asked her.
"I think so." She replied.
She looked exhausted and weak yet determination shone in her eyes. She looked like a small breeze would knock her over but she marched on.
Randal admired her determination, unfortunately he knew this just meant they needed to hurry.
She smoke bombed to the hospital.
The place seemed to be up and running, but busy. People running around.
"Try to get someone to talk to." Rachel told Randal as she headed over to try to talk to someone.
Randal turned and tried to stop one of workers there. "Excuse sir! Sir!" He called out, running after him.
"Ma'am, excuse me!" Rachel tried but wasn't heard.
Rachel kept trying and seeing how Randal was struggling to she huffed and climbed onto a chair and stood. "Hey!" She yelled catching the attention of a couple of the doctors. "I need someone to help me!" she explained.
Randal almost bumped into a nurse while looking towards Rachel.
"Please, my friend at the school needs medical attention ASAP."
Randal then spoke up. "It's true! He lost a lot of blood."
The two doctors glanced at one and other. "We will get an ambulance ready." The one said, singling a nurse.
"Thank you!" She said as she started to get down and her vision suddenly got spots in them and she swayed and started to fall off the chair.
Randal saw her falling. "Rachel!" He called out but a man caught her from touching the floor.
The man wore a cowboy hat and had red orange hair and long moustache.
Rachel groaned. Everything swayed in her vision and she passed out. She was pale and looked frail and weak.
The doctors rushed up to him, to tend to Rachel while an ambulance was sent to the school.
He let them tend to her but seemed almost protective of her? He held her gently and caringly as if he knew her.
Randal began to follow them, watching where they were taking her. Although he had no idea who the cowboy was.
They took Rachel from the cowboy and laid her in a bed. She whimpered.
Randal stood outside her room. "I hope she's ok...and Randy." He said to himself.
