A New Evil
Part 8: Home Again
By: Scizor
The searchers lay in a large room. The only light came from the monitor of the computer nearby. A screen saver of scenes from space played along the screen. Nearby a tall figure wrapped in shadows watched them.
"Thank god, it worked", the figure said in a low voice.
EvilHareGirl moaned.
The figure kneeled down next to her.
"Lie still Megan", the figure said.
"Oh, what happened", EvilHareGirl moaned?
"The effects of the Gateway Generator have not been fully tested, but you should be okay", the figure said.
"Who…are you", she asked?
"An old friend", the figure said hesitantly.
The rest of the searchers stirred. The figure quickly backed up.
"What happened", Genki moaned?
"Alexander sent you all through the Gateway generator", the figure said. "Your at Scizor and EvilHareGirl's world".
Both Hare and Midnight tensed and Tiger growled. The figure reached over to a switch and flipped it. The room lighted up, revealing that the figure was none other then…
"SCIZOR", EvilHareGirl said in shock, reaching for the short sword Alexander had given her.
"Yes and no Megan", the teen said. "I am Scizor and at the same time his polar opposite. You may call me Curtis".
"What does that mean", Genki said angrily?
"Don't know, it's just my name", he said.
"He means what do you mean your Scizor and yet not", Holly said.
"The Scizor that you saw in the monster world is both me and, at the same time, not", the teen replied. "He is a doppelganger, a copy, a evil clone, whatever you want to call it, but he is not me".
"It's true", Alexander replied.
The searchers turned to him.
"What do you mean", EvilHareGirl asked?
"It's my fault", Curtis said softly. "You see, I bought a copy of Monster Battle 200X. When I ran it, it sent me to the monster world. But the stress of the travel caused my body to split in two and be sent to different worlds. The one you saw was the evil me. His goal is destruction and total control of all worlds. I am the good one. I was sent back to my own world and have been trying to stop him. Alexander was my own creation and, when it was possible, I sent Alexander to the monster world to slow Scizor down. But I was to late, Scizor's power was spreading to fast and Alexander didn't stand a chance against him. I ordered him to flee. He fled to New Hope and there, with my instructions, began construction of A Dimensional Gateway to bring him back. But then he received reports that you were in the monster world and I sent him to find you. But then Scizor attacked New Hope and you all were forced to flee".
"How did you even create Alexander and send him to the monster world", asked Genki?
"That was a challenge but let me show you", he said.
He went to the computer and opened a file. He quickly typed a password and suddenly a word document opened.
"This computer, using a special program, can track events in different worlds", the teen said. "I programmed it to track all of you, so I could provide help when I could. That's how I knew you were in the monster world. On how I sent Alexander to the monster world, I created a copy of the Dimensional Gateway on this computer. When the time came, I launched a program that I designed to send Alexander into the fusion process. Unfortunately I under estimated Scizor's power".
"But that doesn't explain all those mutated monsters and humans and how he gained such power", EvilHareGirl said.
"Scizor posses the power of a fan fiction writer, he can do whatever he wants", Curtis said sadly. "But so can you. You are the only one who can defeat Scizor".
"Why don't you fight him", EHG said angrily?
"Because, one cannot fight there own shadow", he said. "Scizor is my dark side. Only another can defeat him. Only YOU can defeat him".
"But…", EHG began.
"Look EHG, you CAN beat him", Curtis said. "You just have to believe you can".
EvilHareGirl sighed.
"I guess", she said.
"Look, I'll be able to provide back up, but that's all", he said. "But it'll take some time for Scizor to complete his plans. We have to wait. Come, we eat".
Curtis led them up a flight of stairs to a large kitchen. He began to dig through the fridge. He grabbed a Tupperware container, opened it a little and sniffed. His eyes rolled up into his head and he started gagging.
"Oh man, this must have been in here since the Gulf War, my lord", he said through fits of gagging.
EvilHareGirl giggled.
"Cloud, Tifa, come here", he called out.
Two Siberian Huskies, one male, one female, ran into the room. Scizor sat the Tupperware container on the floor.
"Eat up", he said.
He turned to the group.
"I think take out would be safer", he said.
He grabbed the phone and quickly typed in Dominos phone number.
Yes, I'd like to order a large hamburger, a large cheese, a large sausage, and a large pepperoni, he said.
He turned towards the group.
"You guys want anything", he said?
EHG laughed.
"No, that's it…. Yes 69 Park Forest… yes, and if it's over 30 minutes its free right… good, bye", he said.
Well, lets eat and then we plan, he said.
He plopped down on a couch and turned on a big screen TV, switching to a James Bond movie.
