Chapter Eleven
Two Finns came in and told us what they saw.
"Three Snipes was enough," Junko said. "But an army of 'em?"
Poor Radarr whimpered as he wobbled in his stance. Junko offered his ice pack and put it on the cabbit's head. However, as soon as it dropped on his head, Radarr fell face first off the safe!
When he got up, he looked worse. I picked up the poor cabbit.
My clone grabbed a smaller ice pack and gave it to Radarr. As dizzy as the poor guy was, he still was grateful for the ice pack.
My clone then gave the big ice pack back to Junko.
"At least it's getting dark," Piper said. "So he won't be able to make any more clones until sunrise. But all that stress he's putting on the crystal may destroy it before we get it back and reverse the process on Snipe and Finn."
Aerrow smiled at that. "An army of Snipes shouldn't be hard to find. We've also got two girls who were kidnapped by him and the D-I mean-Ace-y Boy a few hours ago."
We all smiled. I did a mild victory dance along side my clone that no one saw because as soon as they looked over at us, we stopped and acted casual. I don't mean like "Finn broke Piper's Thingamajig" casual. I mean "I'm bored. Wanna play a game?" casual.
"Let's move." Aerrow said, snapping me out of my Para-babble.
With that, all of us ran out but I still held Radarr in my arms for fear that he'd pass out.
"First, Terra Saharr," The real Snipe said, standing before an army.
"Then the quadrant!" They all said in sync.
"Don't count on it, Snipes!" Aerrow said next to me.
I held up the energy blade that Aerrow gave me. "Ready for your training?" Piper said to me.
"You bet." I said. The blade then lit up with a light green glow. Beautiful color I might add.
"Just give us a target and we'll slice it up like Thanksgiving turkey." Other me said.
"You gotta be kidding." Snipe said in amusement. "Hah! A couple of Storm Hawks against my-"
"-Army?" The rest finished for him.
"Not quite." Aerrow said, pointing up.
Parachuting down was our own Clone Army.
"You're not the only one with an army," X F said.
The Finns landed behind and around us. Snipe, enraged, pointed his mace at us and shouted "Attack!"
It was actually pretty cool. Being that this was my first real battle, I was doing pretty good.
Other Me stuck by my side and we watched each other's back.
Aerrow
I crossed my arms and watched as Radarr covered Snipe's eyes. Snipe actually tried to hit Radarr with his mace. He ended up hitting himself in the butt, making him drop his weapon.
Snipe looked at me in confusion when he realized he wasn't holding his weapon. I just pointed behind him.
The idiot turned to see my cabbit with a mace, growling. The Snipe then sped off with Radarr behind him with mace in hand. I couldn't help but laugh at that.
I looked over to see the two Alice's fighting in perfect unison. They were in sync but it looked like they'd practiced it for years for a dance competition almost.
It was…magnificent. Their bodies crossed each other's in unison as their swords blocked maces. They were then joined at the ankle and went in opposite directions to fight more of the clones.
She's good. I thought to myself. I hope she wouldn't mind joining our team for good.
"Crap!" I hissed as I saw that she was now surrounded by at least twenty Snipes!
I was about to charge in but the two Alice's were able to fight off the Snipes easily.
They were surrounded by unconscious Snipes, proudly smug. The two then high-fived each other.
Then, all the Finns were on the ground, fighting!
"You know," Piper said irritably. "We could fight these Snipes better if you Finns stopped trying to show each other up!"
I couldn't help but agree.
"Aerrow!" The Alices said as they stood, fighting Snipes. "We've got an idea!"
They then kicked the Snipes away. "I'm all ears." I said.
"What if we were to surrender?" X Alice suggested.
"Huh?"
The clone then explained it all. I liked the plan. Hope this words.
"That's it!" I shouted. "Uh, okay, okay." I said, holding up my hands. "We surrender."
"We do?" Piper asked.
I gave her a smile. Yes. We do. "But only to the top Snipe," I simplified.
"Which one of you is the best?" Other Alice asked.
That's…when the argument began.
"Go for it, Radarr." X Alice said.
Radarr then went through the crowd of idiots. He was in there for a while as the Snipes soon became more violent.
We all ran to the skimmers. X Alice rode with me while Other Alice rode with X Finn. Radarr jumped into the cockpit.
We all managed to get to the Condor, Snipes none-the-wiser. "Great plan." I told X Alice and Other Alice.
"Thank you." They said in unison, high-fiving each other.
We managed to get all the Finns and both Alices in the hanger bay.
Alice
We were waiting for Aerrow to get the disco ball before I turned to Other Me.
"Well, it was nice knowing ya." I said to her. I suddenly felt sad, given that she was basically about to die.
She shrugged casually and smiled. "It's cool. Fun while it lasted, yeah?"
I nodded. "At least someone got my Earth jokes."
She then patted my shoulder. "And it will never happen again." She said sympathetically and jokingly.
I sighed and laughed. "Ah, the sadistical jokes that no-one here will ever enjoy."
Other Me groaned in thought. "Well, maybe Stork would."
"True."
Aerrow activated the disco ball.
I watched the ball before closing my eyes, expecting some weird feeling.
A whirling sound resonated within the hanger. I reopened my eyes. Nothing happened.
All the clones were still there. Then, each Finn clone began to fade away slowly. I turned to my clone. She smiled and held out her hand. I smiled back and took it. We held hands for a moment more before she vanished.
"It worked!" Piper cheered as all the clones faded away. She grabbed the disco ball out of Aerrow's hands and ran to her scooter. "Now to take care of the Snipes!"
I turned to watch the last of the Finn clones disappear. X F stared at me before…
"Wait!" Aerrow called after Finn as she sped off. "I think we undid the real Finn, too." He said with sadness.
We all couldn't help but feel sad. Even as Stork stood there, sadness dwelled in him.
Not even X F was here.
"No…" I croaked.
We all stood in the dark room. I sighed sadly and angrily as I was leaning on the wall. A hand touched my shoulder. I didn't know whose it was.
"If it happened to him…" I began, swallowing something caught in my throat. My voice came out dry either way. "Then why didn't it happen to me?" I asked.
I could feel the eyes of each boy in the room on me. "Ali-" Junko began.
He was interrupted by me slamming a fist on the wall. It was actually enough to dent it. Everyone jumped back. I hit three more times before there was a piercing pain in my hand. I was seething with rage now.
Stork moved his hand from my shoulder and took my now bleeding hand carefully. He told me something but I wasn't listening. I think he knew that.
Why? …WHY?
"Hey, guys!" Piper greeted us cheerfully. "It worked!"
Junko, ears down, stood on one side of the safe while Aerrow stood on the other. Radarr sat on the safe with ears drooping while Stork just held my bleeding hand.
To look at things from a lighter side, I was shocked he wasn't freaking out about infection and whatnot.
Aerrow was gonna say something but just swallowed.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Piper asked. She was freaked out no doubt. I mean, all of us like this. Hell, even Aerrow was on the verge of tears.
"The real Finn is gone too!" Junko said, covering his face with his hands.
"But only the clones are supposed to disappear," She stammered. She then held up the crystal for some sign of reassurance. "Maybe we can reverse the reverse."
As soon as she finished saying that, it turned to dust.
"Oh no…" She barely gasped.
No hope. No more chances.
Finn's really go-
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
The fuck?
Everyone jumped a little. The knocks came again.
"Inside the safe?" I mumbled aloud.
Radarr opened the safe. "About time!" The irritated occupant said. "I've been stuck in here all day!"
Finn!
He was cramped inside the safe. I helped him out as Piper said, "The Finn I marked with an X was a clone, too! That's why he disappeared!"
Finn stood shakily, sore from being in the safe. "Rotten clone knocked me out and dumped me in here," He whined. "Can't believe I did that to myself!" He huffed and crossed his arms. "The nerve of me!"
Junko then crushed him, causing a gasp to come from the blonde. "Finn, buddy! We thought we lost you!"
"Uh, Junko," Finn gasped, tongue handing out. "Can't breathe!"
"Sorry." Junko apologized, putting down the blonde idiot.
I stared at him. Finn then stared at my bleeding hand. "Alice, what happened to your hand?"
I glared then punched him in the gut. He stooped over and grabbed his gut, wheezing for air.
"What was that for?" He groaned.
"YOU BASTARD! YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT OF US! If you ever find something that clones you, turns you different colors-Hell! If it gets rid of your blonde hair, you better as hell tells us the second it happens!"
"Did I miss something?" Finn asked, jumping behind the Wallop.
A hand touched my shoulder. "She's just glad to have you back." Stork said next to me. I glared at him then pouted as I looked at the ground.
"So what if I am?"
Everyone just laughed at my angry passion.
Finn's ALICE! I mean, Finn's alive. I meant to write that the first time. I corrected it then thought "I'll just leave that in there."
It was a lot of fun writing this chapter because of the Other Alice/X Alice fighting. When I wrote it, I was thinking of the game Bayonnetta. If you haven't played it/don't own an XBox 360, GET A COPY/THE SYSTEM! I play it everytime i'm at my best friend's house because I don't own one. There's a scene at the begginning of the game where Bayonetta and Jean are fighting the Angels using Witch's Time. It. Is. COOL.
Dark Ace: Can I play it?
Me: Can you come to my world?
Dark Ace: ...if i say yes and it turns out I'm lying, would you be mad?
Me: Yes and just about any other fangirl in this world.
Dark Ace: ...damn.
Me: LOLZ. Whose turn is it anyway?
Arygyn: Can I do it, doll?
*I scream like a girl (I am but I normally don't scream like a girl) and I jump up. Dark Ace catches me and i hold onto him for dear life. Dark Ace looks at me even though my face is buried in his neck. I shake like a baby. Aerrow walks in. Sees me, Dark Ace, and Arygyn.*
Aerrow: What's going on?
Arygyn: The doll realized her drab style.
Dark Ace: What's wrong with it?
*Everyone looks at my black shorts, black "I :heart: DC" hoodie, ear plugs hanging from inside of collar. I pout to strangely dressed guy.*
Dark Ace: Why are you scared of him?
Me: He reminds me of a pedophile!
Arygyn: Hunny, if i'm molesting anyone, it'll be that handsome Rex Guardian.
*I run out screaming "BAD IMAGES! WAAAH!".*
Aerrow: Okay. This is bad. Dark Ace, go find Hayley *Yes that's my name :3*. Arygyn, just do the disclaimer. I'll go find her Kitty Blanket. Audience, you review. Let's go!
*Aerrow runs out*
Dark Ace: Right. Hayley! *Goes off in search for me*
Arygyn: Well then. Miss Short Legs doesn't own Storm Hawks. She just owns cute little Alice-babe, the OOCness that a lot of characters get, and the tantilizing future plot development.
*I'm curled in a ball in a dark room. Dark Ace and Aerrow walks in. Dark Ace tries to comfort me and Aerrow wraps me a blue blankets with moons, stars, and anime cats.*
Me: Pedophile and Harrier doing...ew!
LOLZ! Please review!
