I take longer or shorter to write them out? Please tell me in your review.
My heartfelt appreciation goes out to Karigan, KittenGirl555, waterfarie165 and Maggie64 for reviewing my story. You are the best! ~
1 Chapter 9: One Double, Big trouble
This was not supposed to happen.
There has been a mistake made.
The owner has been released.
A traitor walks free within.
They shall be found out.
The mistake rectified.
The Twice Blessed
Will be mine.

"Alicia" He gasped.
There, standing before him was Alicia! But that couldn't be. He turned around. Alicia was there too. He turned again. Alicia was staring at him in surprise. He turned again. Alicia was staring at him with the same expression. It was making him dizzy.
"Well, I'm sure we all want to clear this up. So if you people could move into shelter, perhaps we can start investigating." The officer in charge cleared his throat. Chyora felt a sudden change. It wasn't exactly noticeable, but he felt that something was different.
Everyone seemed to be staring blankly at something. Then a dry voice spoke.
Leave
Everyone turned and left. Teena, Alicia and Alicia seemed about to leave too, but when Chyora looked at them, they were shaking their heads, as if clearing out something.
"Which one of you is Alicia?" Chyora asked, confused. The Neopian Police and the crowd had acted very weird, and it was scaring him. He just wanted to go back to his Neohome and rest with Alicia. The real Alicia.
"I am." They both answered at the same time.
"Well, you can't both be Alicia. Only one of you is real." Teena said, frowning.
"Which one of you supported me in the battledome?" Chyora asked. He was certain that the one who supported him would be the fake. Alicia would have never agreed to it.
"She did." They both said. Chyora groaned inwardly.
"Chyora, I'm going to ask her about the Pound. Remember this, Alicia takes care of the Neopets, I do administration." Teena whispered. He nodded determinedly.
"Okay Alicia. You come up first." Teena pointed to the nearest one.
"What do you do at the Neopian Pound?" Teena asked. "And whisper it to me and Chyora only."
"I take care of the Neopets." She whispered. Chyora heart gave a leap of excitement. She had to be the real Alicia.
Teena turned to the other Alicia and asked the same question.
"I take care of the Neopets of course. You do the administration." She gave a half smile. That went on for a while, with Teena and Chyora throwing every single question they could think of at both Alicias. It was quite late, and the battledome was totally deserted by the time they were done.
"Since quizzing doesn't work, we'll have to try another tactic." Teena muttered in exasperation. Chyora agreed, nodding emphatically. The questioning was going nowhere. Also, he was afraid that whomever that voice had belonged to might return. He didn't want to face it without Alicia.
"Alicia got a scar under her left arm because a Lupe bit her. Let me see it." Teena called. Both Alicia's rolled up their sleeves to reveal an identical mark under their left arm. They tried a few more marks, but it always ended up with both of them having the same mark.
"I know!" Chyora finally exclaimed. He marched up to both Alicias. Scrutinizing them carefully, he searched for a special something. He laid a paw on one of them.
"She's Alicia." He declared.
"Ho…How did you know?" The fake screeched. "It's impossible! I was perfect!" It gave a loud shriek. A bolt of lightning streaked down and struck it. It fell to its knees. Alicia screamed in horror. And horror it was.
The fake's hair caught on fire, burning merrily. The flames burned orange, before changing to an eerie black. Its clothes melted like wax, spreading over the body like a pool of slime. Its body was covered in that ever- shifting black liquid. Drops of liquid that trickled to the ground burned holes in the stone. Its clasped hands shifted and changed into fearsome claws. A long snaky tail extended from the back, lashing about like a whip.
Throughout the transformation, its face always remained the same. Exactly like Alicia's. It removed the cool shades with a paw. Eyes still closed, it got to its feet. Its feet were now hideous manifestations, like those of a demon. Even with its eyes closed, it 'looked' directly at Alicia and Chyora. It bared its teeth, and they were now longer, sharper, much like fangs. And then it finally opened its eyes.
There were its eyes. Black, soulless, empty, bottomless. The only emotion it contained spoke of something more alien than any had ever know. It never blinked, only stared out at the world from behind those black shadows.
As they stared at that abyss that passed for eyes, their minds screamed with horror at the sight before it. They would have died then, for they would not, could not move as the demon came upon them. Teena was there, and she pushed them out of the way. As if awakening from a trance, the veil of horror placed on their minds broke.
"What were you doing back there? You could have been killed." Teen screamed.
"We've got to get out of here. Anything to be away from that…that creature." Alicia shrieked hysterically. Suddenly, there were flames everywhere. It circled them, and the only way not blocked by the flames was through the demon. It gave a loud howl, before charging to attack.
Chyora stood in front ready to defend Alicia. He knew he was no match for the demon, but he could try. He would protect Alicia with his last breath. He threw a snowball at the creature. It didn't even flinch as the snowball exploded harmlessly against its coat. Teena jumped in and kicked hard with her hind legs. It howled in pain, knocked back a few paces.
"Alicia, get on my back! We've got to run!" Teena shouted. Alicia nodded and leaped onto the Uni's back.
"I'll distract it. When you see an opening, rush through." Chyora yelled. Without another word, he attacked the demon. It snarled, digging its feet into the stone floor. Chyora stared back, refusing to be intimidated by it. He thought feverishly for a way in which he could keep the demon distracted.
'That's it!' He thought. He took out his Shoyru sword. Letting out a wild cry, he charged at the demon. It seemed slightly taken aback at Chyora charging at it, but recovered quickly and met him head on. He drove his sword into the demon, but it merely smiled. Reaching down with a claw, it removed the sword, and to his dismay, the sword was melting away. It swung its tail in a smooth arc aiming for his chest. Chyora prepared to catch the tail.
"You'll get burned!" A voice yelled. Chyora jumped back in surprise and the tail missed him by a hair. 'Great. I can't touch it, how am I supposed to fight it?' He thought in despair. He readied himself for another attack. To his relief, he noted that Alicia and Teena had gotten out of the fire ring. That was one less worry to think about.
Suddenly, a figure appeared. It moved with blinding speed, seeming to be punching at the demon. It howled and tried to retaliate, but the figure was moving too fast. Chyora couldn't even see who that was. There was a loud hiss and the figure jumped back.
It was Dr_Death!
His gloves were sizzling and he removed them immediately. They sank into the floor, melting away into a puddle of liquid.
"Dr_Death!" Chyora exclaimed.
"So, you finally came out. All the better. Now I can kill you." The demon snarled. It took a step, before falling back.
"Wha…What did you do?" It croaked.
"You forget. I know more than just a few punches." He replied.
"No. No! Master, help me!" It shrieked. And Chyora felt it again, the slight shifting, the slight change.
You have failed me
That is intolerable
The only option
Death
It gave a wordless scream. Its black coat shifted, and started to shimmer. The flames flickered and died away, and Alicia and Teena could be seen. They too looked at the scene before them, speechless. Dr_Death observed it grimly. He was the only one that seemed not to be horrified or even surprised at what he saw.
"NO! I SHALL NOT BE DENIED!" It screeched. Its shimmering coat started to fade, and everyone knew that meant it was about to die. It rushed forward to attack. Everyone was surprised at the target.
Alicia.
"Alicia, watch out!" Chyora yelled, but it was too late. It had already reached her. It knocked her to the ground, and reached forward with fading claws. Alicia gave a scream. (A/N: Oh, I know that's probably the millionth time she's screaming, but hey, she got scared. People have a tendency to scream when scared.)
"Oh no you don't." Dr_Death said. He went forward and stopped the demon. Surprisingly, the black coat didn't burn him. Perhaps he had already known that. But the demon's tailed lashed out and smashed into Alicia. She literally flew through the air, slamming against a hard stonewall. (A/N: There is such a thing as a stone dome right?)
"Alicia!" Chyora shouted. Boiling with rage, he attacked the fading the demon. He charged at it, punching, kicking, slamming…the demon was not going to have a nice time fading away. It finally gave a loud shriek before fading into nothingness. Chyora finally stopped, panting. He turned to see Alicia.
Teena had already rushed forward to check on Alicia. The Uni nudged her gently with a hoof. She gave a small moan of pain. Dr_Death walked up to her to examine her. Feeling her gently, his eyes widened in shock.
"Oh. My. God. There's blood pouring from her ears and nose. She's got severe internal bleeding. We have to get her to the hospital!" Dr_Death exclaimed.
"But, she might have broken some bones…" Teena interrupted.
"We have to get her to the hospital. Now. If she dies here, no doctor can help her. Help me." Dr_Death ordered. Chyora remained stunned a while longer, before realising he was talking to him. Nodding mutely, he helped Dr_Death put Alicia on Teena.
'Please, please be alright Alicia.' Chyora prayed.
(A/N: I know people might go all scientific and say that people with broken bones can't be moved and all. That's why Dr_Death is there to goad them on. After all, a few more broken bones and some more wounds sure beats dying or bleeding to death.)
To Be Continued…
~ My my, Alicia's really injured. Will she be saved? Hmm, seems like this chapter is longer than my previous one. So it boils down to whether you want long chapters or fast updates. Don't forget to answer. As always, pls review! ~
(A/N: Now, on with the story. Wait, let me guess, you thought I was going to end in a cliffhanger. Nope, I'll give you some more.)

Location: Neopian Hospital
Time: 3 am in the morning (A/N: the battle ended at 11)
Chyora paced anxiously outside the waiting room. They had been here for over three hours, and there had been no news of her. Only that bright sign that said 'Emergency'. He glared at it, and his tears filled his eyes, blurring the sign into a bright patch of light.
=Flashback=
"We've got a seriously injured person here!" Dr_Death yelled, carrying Alicia in. The doctor there, a green Gelert, eyed the patient.
"Get her to the emergency room stat. We've got a critical case here." He yelled over the usual noise in the hospital.
The last thing that Chyora had heard before the doors had slammed shut was the voice of the doctor.
"This is the worst case I've ever seen, we'll be lucky if she survives till morning…"
=End Flashback=
Dr_Death paced about impatiently in the waiting room. He was extremely worried. So far, no one had rushed up to greet him, or call his name and screaming that he was back. After all, he wasn't exactly popular in Neopia. But it was better that way. He wanted to keep a low profile. Still, every minute he spent outside was dangerous. He wished he could get back as soon as possible. Staring at Chyora, he sighed. The young Shoyru seemed close to tears. He must have gotten close to the owner in the past couple of months. The poor thing, he would go through much more before this was over.
The door finally opened. Chyora was the first to rush forward, and bogged the doctor with his questions. The Gelert looked rather tired and overwhelmed, and Dr_Death decided it best to interfere. Teena thought the same way, and held Chyora back, trying to calm him down.
"How's Alicia?" Dr_Death asked. The Gelert gave a sound that sounded halfway like a sigh of sorrow and halfway like a sigh of relief. Which basically made everyone jittery.
"The patient is in intensive care right now. We had to do three major operations on her in a row. We found severe internal bleeding, a collapsed lung and she had gotten a major concussion to the head." He shook his head, "Not to mention broken bones all over her body. Her condition right now is stable, but she's in a coma."
"A coma? When will she wake up?" Chyora cried.
"We're not sure. That blow to the head was pretty serious. We're not certain whether her brain was damaged. I understand all of you might want to see her right now, but she needs rest. Come back in the morning." He said firmly. Chyora shook free of Teena and stood in front of the doctor.
"Okay doctor, it's 3am in the _morning_, I've come to see Alicia." Chyora said seriously. Dr_Death felt a smile steal its way to his lips. Even the doctor seemed slightly amused. The heavy atmosphere seemed to lift a little. But Chyora had been dead serious about wanting to see Alicia. The Doctor looked at him, before giving a small sigh and nodding.
"Level 3, Room 56" He called after them. They rushed off without another word.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Chyora rushed into the room. He was extremely anxious to see Alicia again. Truth be told, he was feeling quite guilty about the whole incident. If he had never thought about fighting in the battledome, which he thought was stupid now, Alicia would have never gotten hurt.
There she was, lying in the bed. She was deathly pale, with all kinds of tubes sticking out of her body. He wanted to rush forward and hug her, but knew better. You do not go around hugging people in a coma. Big no. He glanced longingly at her. He really wished she would wake up and tell him that everything was okay, and they could go home and play. Like they always used to.
"Don't worry Chyora. Alicia is a good person. Fate wouldn't be so cruel as to take her away." Teena comforted. He nodded sadly, before being led out of the room by Teena. Dr_Death walked up to her frail body, and placed a hand over Alicia, brushing away strands of hair covering her face.
"You must wake up Alicia. Chyora needs you. Now more than ever." He whispered.
