The final showdown
Randy looked back at the others and at Nomi. "Tonight?" he repeated. "He attacked Rachel and it's not safe if we wait any longer." he replied. The others looked at each other. Randy then nodded. They all agreed. Rachel softly nodded. Randy felt uneasy about the battle but knew it had to be done.
Later that night they returned to Norrisville. Randy wasn't far from Rachel, but knew that she might not be able to fight. Rachel was riding on flare instead of walking. Nomi glanced around. They were at the school and Nomi took a deep breath a released the sorcerer by using magic. The sorcerer appeared and saw them.
Randy was surprised by the sorcerer sudden release but was quick to get ready to fight. The others got ready to except Rachel, who rode flare. Randy made the first attack on the sorcerer, throwing ice bombs at him. The sorcerer threw him back with his stank. The others tried to attack too but he blocked it. Randy got back up again. "Ninja air fist!" he called out as he shot at the sorcerer. The sorcerer was pushed back a bit and shot at them again. Randy ran around behind the sorcerer to get closer to him. The sorcerer was having trouble keeping up with all the ninjas.
Rachel tried to help but wasn't sure how. Randy got his chance and went and kicked the sorcerer down. The sorcerer fell but grabbed Randy. "Ninja Punch!" Randy said as he brought down his fist to the Sorcerer's face. The sorcerer threw Randy and use his stank to slam him strongly into the school. Randy sharply gasped in pain and then slumped to the ground. Rachel gasped and flare flew over. She climbed off and kneeled next to him. "Ninja? Ninja? Wake up!" she cried.
Randy eyes finally popped open and he slightly struggled to get back up. Rachel sighed with relief and tried to help him up. The sorcerer aimed at them and flare tried to attack him. Randy saw the stank coming at them and at the split second pushed Rachel out of the way. Rachel fell backward out of the way and the stank hit randy and sent him flying into the wall again but there were sharp stones and glass there from hitting it the first time. "Argh!" Randy exclaimed as he felt the sharp objects hit his back.
Rachel tried to get up to run to help him but couldn't walk. "No!" she cried. The sorcerer was about to hit Randy again but Rachel hit him with a huge thing of fire but he blocked it. Randy managed to pull himself off the jagged wall but painfully and was on his hands & knees. Rachel crawled over to him. "Are you alright?" she whispered softly with tears in her eyes. "C-could of been-better." Randy stuttered before he sank down.
Rachel tried to help but didn't know how. Randy was slowly dying and shifted his head to look at her. Rachel had tears in her eyes. "What do I do?!" She thought to herself. The others tried to keep the sorcerer busy and distracted. "...Sorry Rachel." Randy muttered and slightly coughed. Rachel shook her head. "Don't be. It's not your fault." she replied. Randy gave quick glance at her. "Not yours either..." he said as his breathing became slower. Rachel wasn't sure what to do. Randy reached out to Rachel's hand and took his last breath.
