WHY WORLD.. CAN'T THE SCHOOL JUST RELOCATE?!

"This sucks." I say, glancing at Iggy. Then I hear a familiar loud growl.

Damnit Ari!

Iggy sighs.

"Let's go!" I yell. "I don't want to deal with Ari again." I sprint out the double doors of the School, Iggy on my heels.

Woah, looks like they've upgraded.. there's a net covering the top of the Arena.

Frick.

"(insert-curse-word-of-your-choice-here), let's see- AH!" Iggy yelps. I turn, seeing Ari standing there.

"Y'know, you're supposed to stay for dinner.." Ari growls, transforming.

"Just 'cos we're supposed to doesn't mean we are!" Iggy says, punching Ari. I sprint over and swiftly land punches on him. A couple minutes later, he was a groaning mess on the floor. I don't blame him, he's only seven!

"He's weak." I pointed out, shrugging. Ari struggles to his knees.

"It's better when Storm's around.." I hear him mutter. I raise an eyebrow.

"Storm? Who's Storm?" Don't tell me it's a duplicate of me, like Maya!

"You'll..see.."

"Igs, let's blast." I say.

"Right!" Ig vanishes into the School, me following him.

Later, we find a place that isn't covered in nets.

"Hey! Wait!" A girl's voice calls after us.

If these are Erasers, I will show NO mercy.

Turning around, I see two kids - well, teens - running towards us. One girl, one boy.

"Can we come with you guys?" The girl asks, shaking, blood running out of her nose. The boy doesn't look any better.

"Yeah!" Ig yells enthusiastically. "We'd like more people like us!"

Well, there's your answer.

Shrugging, I unfurl my wings and fly out of the disgusting place known as the School. Turning, I see Iggy and the two kids flying too-

But the kids didn't have bird wings, they looked like dragon wings.

It does look pretty frickin cool though.

"Alright, where are we going?" Ig asks. "We're going to have to find another one, but without the Voice it'll be a little hard.."

"Yeah." I agreed. "Maybe we could just.. I don't know." I shrug.

"Find what?" The girl cuts in.

"Well-" I started.

"We're trying to find our friends." Iggy interrupts. "They're mutants like us, and we got separated." Why does Ig trust them so much?

Well, they are mutants like us, so I don't see why not..

Don't mind me, I'm just being paranoid.

"The problem is, they're not on Earth. I mean, I don't think they are.." I say. "They're in another world, I guess you could say. So we need to find the portal to that place and find them again."

"That's cool." The girl says. Then I noticed- the boy doesn't talk?

Iggy seems to notice this.

"Does he.. erm.. talk..?" He asks, glancing at the boy.

"No, he's mute. Something with the doctors there, they messed up his voice." The girl shrugs.

"Well, where do we start?" I cut in.

Okay, this is getting worse and worse.

Firstly, Iggy is acting weird, and Shadow's gone.

God.. I feel like they're connected somehow..

I've talked about this to Fang, he agrees but doesn't want to act like he notices to Iggy.

Or the possibly mind-controlled Iggy. I don't know.

As far as I know, the Igster doesn't act like this.

The only reason I know is that he isn't trying to make any bombs with Gazzy, even though they're partners in crime. Or, partners in bombmaking.

Whatever you call it.

I'm just worried, okay? Is that an okay emotion to feel right now?

"Yeah!" Angel's voice snaps me out of my thoughts. "I've read Iggy's mind- he isn't thinking the same either. I think he has a clone too!"

"Wait, IGGY has a CLONE?!" I practically yell. 'Iggy' looks at me.

"What?" He asks. "I'm real! At least I think.."

"Yep!" Angel says, averting her attention to me again. "See? Usually he'd make a huge show of patting himself down, but he isn't. So it's his clone."

"Angel, how do you know this?" Fang asks coolly.

"I read his mind."

"Okay, so that's Iggy's clone?" I ask, glancing at Iggy and Gaz. Gaz's trying to convince him to make a bomb.

"Yep! At least I think so!" Angel cracks a triumphant smile.

"Huh. I'll keep an eye on him.." Fang's hand covers mine. I look over at him, and he gives me his rare but beautiful smile.

Cool.

Shadow

Me? Fly? Nah.

Again.

I walk down the street with the new mini-group we've got.

"So, portal." Iggy says. "What does one look like?"

"Just like an ordinary wall." I say. "It's hard to come across. I didn't even notice it was a portal until Gazzy stuck his hand into it."

"Great. That's going to be easy to find."

"Again, I rate your sarcasm." I smirk. "So, we run around running into walls?"

"That's.. a terrible idea."

"I know."

"Hey, can we get something to eat?" He asks.

"We're broke."

"We could, like, steal some food?" He lowers his voice.

"I can deal with that."

Iggy chuckles. Like the chuckle when he's about to explode a bomb!

"Cool! Lets do it."
