A/N) Ok I am back guys! Sunday is here and I am home alone left to babysit a bunch of brats. :-( Any-who-zzels, here's the next chapter... um quick warning though, this one kind of got away from me and it ended up a little to weird, but I wasn't sure how to change it so... I left it, I hope you guys don't think it's to dumb (laughs sheepishly) Um, enjoy?
Disclaimer: I'm thinking about disclaiming this chapter too... depending on what you guys think.
Rachel's huge brown eyes couldn't take in the entire scene.
No, her mind couldn't comprehend the entire picture.
She was in a frozen stupor.
The evil man just stood there, feeding off of her terrified expression. Deliciously terrified expression.
Rachel gulped, her mind slowly coming out of the incomprehensible cloud it was engulfed in. She blinked to make sure this wasn't a nightmare...
"What... how... that... is... looks like...ah!" She squeaked unable to finish her sentence.
She was staring face to face with another imprisoned person. But that wasn't the feared part. That person looked just like her! She gasped, it was her. Her hair, her face, her body, her height... everything.
It just stayed there, floating in clear liquid substance, with its eyes closed, the eyes where even rimmed with thick eye lashes just like her. She gasped again.
"What is this?!" Her voice rang out to the corners of the massive laboratory.
"This, dear, " she cringed when he called her that, "Is my ingenious plan."
Rachel gapped again, there were hundreds, no, thousands of copies of her, it all looked so... unbelievable.
She felt sick to her stomach, "You're an insane mad man who is trying to create life!" She summed up.
He chuckled darkly, "Well, to some Yes I am, but to me and my followers, I am a brilliant scientist, with an ancient evil in my grasp that made this all possible."
"Ancient evil? What the heck?! What are you now, some sort of sorcerer?" She spat, suddenly all fear vanished, her eyes and face betrayed nothing. She turned herself stone cold. Something inside just wasn't going to let her take the fear anymore, no matter how nauseatingly, freakishly, scary it was.
The man laughed with a sick darkness that could send the devil running, "Oh, you are spicy, just the ingredient I need to complete this perfect plot."
"What?!" She began to shake internally, anything that included thousands of her, couldn't be good.
"Well, since you won't live for another hour You have the right to know. You My dear, held a very high place in the recruiting category for the G.D.F, "
Rachel's mind flashed, "so, what?!"
"So, you attracted my attention, if earths most bad things held you that high well... I decided to investigate you for my self. You see, I am the worst evil anyone can not imagine, you hear all those stories of evil, none of them are real, but I am. I've hidden, waiting for the right soul to enter this earth. Those enemies of yours, they don't deserve half the fear you give them... no, I am the only thing good, and even bad fears utterly."
Rachel's spine numbed, her whole body numbed, this thing, whatever it was, wasn't human or even an alien.
"If you think I have something as clique as ruling the world in mind then you are sadly mistaken. No, I am here to destroy your world and countless others. Why, my reasons can't be comprehended even by your advanced mind. But then a problem arises, where there is pure evil... there is always pure good. Unfortunately. So I waited until the right mortal was chosen to stop me. Your people have forgotten their past. What they used to believe in what they called, magic, sorcerers, real power. If they hadn't then maybe they might have a chance today, but they did, so they don't."
Rachel gulped as the creature went on in a dark voice that grew deeper and more inhuman with every word.
"You, imagine my surprise when I found that the white force that repels my own settled it's self on you. Oh, oh, a little girl, I said to myself, but then I saw it...I watched you grow, you became not like any others. You could do amazing things. Things you don't know about, things that would set you far from being just another weak little girl, things I won't divulge for you. So forget about it. So then I decided to use the very force that was meant to destroy me, and create my own army, of you, ironically." He let out a heart stopping laugh.
"So wait your saying there's more then, normal bad guy, science fiction going on here. Are you seriously expecting me to believe there's magical stuff inside me?" Rachel sneered as he slowed down.
"Magical? No, this thing doesn't have a name, it never did, people just knew that there were some unnatural things on their earth, things they, being the pathetic humans they are, couldn't explain. So they just made something up and called it magic. And that in its self developed into all these lies and props people use in books and fairy tales. It wasn't what they make it to be now. It was something else, it was just forgotten out of fear. Now then, glad we're done with this, it's so fun to torment you humans with your silly emotions and thoughts." He clapped his hands together and walked towards an alchemy table.
There were bottles of all shapes and sizes on it, filled with all different colors of liquids. He picked through and selected a long vile with a beautiful blue liquid, when the light hit it, it gave off a shimmering golden tint.
"Ah, this should help suck out your white force." He said simply as he headed for her case.
Rachel backed away, strangely all that she had just heard, didn't spark a single brain over load... maybe her mind was just waiting until this whole mess was over to start panicking and going nuts about not having any answers. Or maybe it wasn't to crazy to believe after all this.
"Say ah, dear." He taunted.
"As if, you made a mistake in taking me." She hissed dangerously.
"Oh, please, I don't make mistakes. Your white force will bring my army of your clones alive. They will each posses a small piece of it and with my guidance they will unlock its real power and well, you can figure the rest." The evil being smirked as a dark cloud of smoke surrounded Rachel.
She coughed and struggled, but couldn't move. She opened her eyes and looked around, she was now strapped to a board on a white wall.
Her eyes widened as the thing came closer to inject that liquid in her. She struggled harder, no telling what that thing could do to her, of course all of this could be fake, just made up.. .if she had... er... magical powers, she sure wished they'd show up now.
"It's pointless to struggle you know,"
Rachel's mind reeled for anything to buy time, though why her mind was telling her to buy time was beyond her, "Wait... don't I at least get to know why you kidnapped all those others?"
The evil man thought for a split second, "Oh all right," Then he jabbed the needle with the serum in her arm.
She cried out in pain as the serum injected inside her.
The thing smiled hideously, "It'll take some time for the serum to work, so the others, hum, that was just part of my game, they weren't of any use to me, so I just imprisoned them. I mean why kill them when they'll all die soon anyway. It was mostly just to get your attention, you see, this whole thing was part of my plan." He patted her shoulder making her feel even more pathetic than before.
"P-part, ugh... they're still alive." She rasped out, her vision was blurring, this wasn't good.
She noticed that the serum was now done injecting itself and was now extracting some thing from her, it wasn't blood... it was a blinding, glowing white liquid. Rachel was surprised for an instant but then her mind jerked from the pain.
The evil man let out a hideous laugh as the last bit of that white thing was extracted from her.
Once it was done Rachel hung there limp, barely breathing. The dark figure took the needle and left, "I'll be back to dispose of you." And he was gone leaving poor Rachel nearly unconscious.
Nearly, but not quite.
She lifted her head, she was not going down without a fight, "Ugh...I fell like my brains been sucked out, but aren't I supposed to be dead?" She shook her head as a funny little thing nagged inside of her. She didn't know what this feeling was but it began to grow stronger. She straightened and struggled against her binds, She'd try to figure out this mess later.
Slowly, inch by inch she wiggled free and fell down to the white tiled floor. Rachel sprang up and headed for the door, trying not to shiver at the sight of her clones.
"I have to find all the others... Maurice... Chad..." She tried not to think of them, especially Chad.
Rachel took a deep breath and pulled the door open... what ever all this craziness was about, she could care less now, she just had to find all of her friends and stop this unearthly creep... somehow.
Sooo... ahem, um what DID you guys think while reading this... I hope it wasn't as dumb as I thought it was. Let me know... I guess. L8er.
