Uni turned to see Maranth standing there, staring at something, she couldn't see what, another monster blocked her way. A few seconds it was down, and Uni was jumping over it to see...
Ino, waving and smiling. Uni's breath caught in her chest. "Your...Not dead?" "Oh! I'm Dead. I died when you killed me Uni." Flames were spreading around Ino. Ino, sweet, kind, loving...No, Ino was dead. Uni had killed her. "I-I..." Her sword clattered onto the hard floor. The flames were coming closer, and her legs refused to work. "You Killed me Uni, even though I was your best friend." "I DIDN'T MEAN TO!" Uni felt the hot tears run down her cheeks. "I didn't mean for you to see me like that. I know how I get, but...but..." Ino was coing closer, a smile on her face. Then the flames engulfed her, and she became the house, tall and towering. Uni was back there, the torch in her hand, laughing manicly. She felt someone touch her shoulder, and turned to see Ino again. Her eyes widened, as she droped the tourch, and her hand reached for the sword. Then she was brining it up and around...
The creature crummbled before Uni, and she blinked, once again in the celler. What had just happened...?!

Kaos let loose a final shotgun blast and noticed an approaching figure in the clearing smoke. He dropped shotgun and drew his two favorite guns, a pair of silver magnums. Who the hell was this guy approaching him? It couldn't be a monster but it didn't seem human either. suddenly a young man stepped from the smoke. He was tall with short, spiky, black hair, and he had a multitude of white tattoos. The man was wearing a tattered white training robe and holding two black magnums. He was spattered with blood.

Uni looked around, then was swept up in her own worst nightmare. She saw her hand move, felt the slight resistance as the head fell away from the body, still smiling as plesantly as it has ever done, felt the laughter. Cold...she felt so cold. But the laughter wouldn't stop. It rang in her head, her own laughter, and her own eyes swam infront over her vision. They were red with yellow streaks in them, and her mouth was laughing, that horrible laughter. "No.." She moaned, falling to her knees. "Make it stop! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry Ino! I know what I am! Please just! make! it! stop!" Before she relized what was happening, her hand held a wrist knife. It was pointing at the girl who stood a little way away from Uni. It was herself, holding her sword in one hand, and the torch in the other. She had thrown her head back and was laughing that mocking laughter which vibrated in every cell of Uni's body. She looked down at Uni, then pointed with the bloddied sword at the crummpled figure on Ino on the floor. The shadow Uni steped over it, and walked toward the real Uni, who was on all fours coughing up blood. When it reached her, it settled down on it's haunches, and looked at the real Uni. "You said you knew what you were. Yet you still fear it." It stopped for a moment, and then smiled, "But it comes out, dosen't it. It makes you want to kill, it makes you crazy. But you love that don't you? Don't lie to yourself." She smiled again, but now it was not fear that rose inside Uni, but anger, uncontroable anger. "HOW DARE YOU!" She was on her feet, a bloodied knife in her hand. The shadow Uni looked down at the slice mark in her side, and giggled. She got to her feet, and held the sword infront of her. "Oh? Don't resist Dear, we're inside of you. We are you. You will never be free. You will never find the place you fit it. Your crazy, and you know it!" Uni lunged, her face locked in a snarl, and the shadow Uni crummbled, and faded still laughing. "You won't escape me...us...you...We're one...Remember...Uni...." Then Uni was standing in a pubble of spreading blood. It was monster blood though. The twitching thing looked at Uni's face, and cackled. With a swift movment, Uni brought her knive around, and killed it. "I'm not like that anymore. I won't kill for you..." She left the knife in the monster, and turned to look at the others who were all locked in their own nightmares. Uni felt like crying, but she had to help. She snatched up her sword, and lept.

"N-n-no, no, there's no fuckin way!" Kaos snarled at his opposite as he stumbled backwards. He was deffinitely staring back at himself and yet not himself at all. "What are you!" he screamed but it just stared back at him with a twisted grin. Then it spoke. "Hehhehheh look at you. You can't even look me in eye. You know damn well what I am. Thats right, all those people you killed in the name of your false, self-serving justice. You knew you were just doing the dirty work of the evil and corrupt."

(Well I was going to have him do it himself since he really doesn't have any issues other than this one, that way once he defeats the doppelganger, he'll be able to put it to rest and actually be a normal and mentally stable person unlike all the other characters )

((Ok then.))
Uni was crying, she knew that much. Everything else was just a blurr, even the pain that shot up her arm, then down her side was nummbed. "I won't kill for you. I will kill for myself, and my friends." She tried to block the laughter that was still rining in her ears, but it just continued on. She killed, no slaughtered the beasts, each one falling and crummbling around her blade. She danced through them, her jaw set, and the laughter ringing around her.
((Ya, as you've seen, Uni has another side to her. This is the reason she can't do fire magic. Her 'dark' side controls her 'older' emotions, fear, hatred, longing, everything like that. Her 'good' side controls happiness and such like. She's trained herself not ot feel emtion, because that brings out her 'bad' side, which enjoys killing. Thought I would clear that up...))

(ahh so that explains why should wouldn't even try the fire magic..) "Hahaha you know I'm right Kaos, everything you've done for the past 2 years was the killing of innocents that you feebly tried to mask." Kaos was suddenly hit by a falshback, more real than any he had seen before. There he was, standing in a run down building, a pistol held to the head of a young boy who couldn't have been more than 12. How could they expect him to do something like this, after all he was just a 16 year old bounty hunter, the kid could have been his younger brother. The pistol in his hand was shaking almost as much as the boy staring down the barrel. Suddenly the boy screamed in fear and kaos paniced, his finger clenched with the rest of his body. There was a loud noise, followed by the sound of blood splattering on a wall, then silence, horrible, sickening, unending silence. Suddenly he was back in the present, staring back at his mirror image, who was once again sporting a grin only the devil himself would wear. "See, you can't deny it now, why don't you just let me kill you, or better yet do it yourself." the dark Kaos said. Kaos was hit by another flashback, but this one hadn't come from the shadow. He re-witnessed the last thing he had done as a bounty hunter and felt his strength of will flooding back. "You are right, that man was wrong to continue doing such things but thats not me, at least not anymore. You wanna know whothat guy really is, he's you." Kaos said as he leveled the magnum at the shadow. The grin was wiped from the shadow face as he looked down the centimeter wide barrel of the Colt and before the bastard could say a single word his mouth was blown apart by a .44 calibur slug. And with that, Kaos knew he jhad finally put that part of him to rest. (Hurrah, Kaos is a regular, non-disturbed person now Thats two out of three characters now since Saige was normal from the beginning...Aeos is sane but he deffinitely has some issues...)

((Oooo, doppelgangers! Fun idea. Sorry if this is a little long.....))
Zeth had just finished incinerating one of the monsters, making it go up in flames and be completely destroyed. He turned to see how his friends were doing, but instead of seeing them he turned around and saw himself. For a breif moment he wondered if he were staring in a mirror, but the figure in front of him was right there, as solid and real as ever. "Wha..." Zeth started, but was to shocked to say much. "You can't escape me Zeth." The shadow said, grinning malevolently. "And you know it." "What are you talking about?!" Zeth shot back, his anger rising as he stared at his shadow self. "You weren't strong enough. He died because of you!" The shadow Zeth yelled, the evil grin still plastered on his face. "No..." Zeth started, remembering what had happened that day, a long time ago. "No... it wasn't my fault. It wasn't me, it was The Collective..." He said, trying to shake the feeling of guilt from his head. "Oh yes, it may have been them who did the initial damage, but you were there, and you weren't stong enough to save him." The shadow taunted, speaking in a low voice. "No!" Zeth yelled, his hands balled into fists at his sides. "I tried! I tried! But the wound was to deep, I didn't have enough experience with healing magic... I couldn't..." "Exactly!" The shadow cut in, taunting Zeth further. "You weren't strong enough. If you had had more power you could have saved your only brother." The shadow whispered, now standing right in front of him. Zeth wouldn't take this any longer. He knew it wasn't his fault, no one ever blamed him for what happened. The Collective had killed his brother, and he had tried to heal him, but the wound was to deep and was fatal. He knew it wasn't his fault and he tried to shake the shadow's words from his head. He quickly shot a fire ball at his shadow self, but it was instantly drowned out by water which the shadow had created. Zeth sent a tornado of wind at him, but the shadow created a wall of earth to stop it. "Remember Zeth, I am you. I have all your powers." The shadow Zeth taunted. "You were too weak to save your brother, and you are too weak to defeat me now!" He said with a malicious laugh. Zeth's eyes narrowed and he grinned as well. "I'll show you how strong I've become!" He said, summoning the power within him. He closed his eyes for a moment and opened them again, they seemed to glow with power. The tattoo on his side was also glowing as he combined the four elements together, fire, water, earth, and wind. He sent them at the shadow with tremendous force, and his shadow was instantly obliterated. Zeth looked to the spot where his shadow recently occupied. His tattoo had stopped glowing and was now black again and his eyes returned to normal as he let out a sigh of relief.

Amaranth stared in horror at her shadow. It grinned back at her, revealing red-stained fangs. "Ooh, is the widdwe baby scawed?" it crooned in a horrible, mock baby voice. "How sad. The widdwe baby can't save herself?" Arrow back, release, dull thud as it hit her in the chest. She couldn't move, couldn't breathe, couldn't defend herself. It was her fault... "And the widdwe baby tot she could save her widdwe famiwy? Her widdwe fwiends? No no no! The widdwe baby killed them... It was all the widdwe baby's fault..." "NO! I didn't- I wouldn't-" Arrow back, release, thud. "I didn't mean to-" Arrow back, release, thud. "And now the widdwe baby is gonna die, but at weast she'll die knowing it was all her fault!" Arrow back, release, glow, silence. She was blind with fury and guilt and horror and pure, numbing terror. She couldn't see anything but her own blood-stained hands, her own taunting smirk. "Maybe... maybe... maybe it was my fault..." she murmured in a defeated tone, her head down, as the arrow froze midair in front of her throat. "Maybe... maybe I did kill them... Maybe I let myself be replaced... Maybe I let them die... But I'm certainly not gonna let YOU kill ME!" Her head snapped up, and her eyes were visibly glowing. Her mouth opened in a silent snarl and her hands were thrust out, palms toward the shadow. The arrow spun and flew again, this time toward the doppleganger. Glowing red and blue flames leapt up around her copy-self, licking and singeing and burning at false flesh. The shadow laughed horribly, and the flames were extinguished. "Oh, the widdwe baby tinks she can beat me? How cute! Too bad I have to cwush the widdwe baby!" The arrow stopped and turned, then froze again. It was a battle of wills. Whoever was hit with the arrow would die at the hands of their own power. "I won't let you do this!" "I won't let you live after you killed them!" "IT WASN'T MY FAULT!" "Now the baby's denying it? How-" In a flash of blinding blue light, the arrow spun toward the shadow and something leapt up around its form. The creature let out a terrible yell, high and shrieking, and then it dissapeared, its last scream tapering out horribly until it, too, stopped. Amaranth looked down at her hands. The blood was still dripping, but at least most of it was her own now... She blinked, for the first time really noticing that her body was peppered with arrows from her own quiver. Somehow that was funny, and she started to giggle weakly. "Ha ha... Look at that... I didn't even notice... I'll have to tell Japheth 'bout this... he'll laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh..." The giggling grew high and hysterical and she couldn't stop. She just stood there, staring at the blood on her hands and dripping from her torso and laughing...
