Chapter 30

            The last thing I expected was to have this little bitch on the run. But, I had her. It was fun too. I had her running into the city and through alley corners and into streets.

            I looked around as I ran after her. I knew this street. What the hell was she planning? Why was she down here?

            Kerry!

            I knew a short cut; I had to get there before she did.  I stopped chasing and went down the street as fast as I could. I even took off into the air to save some time. Good, I got there before she did.

            I didn't even knock I just ran in. "Kerry!"

            My sister walked into the hall. "Rip, by Christ's sake, what happened to you?"

            I was taking in a few breaths. Damn, now I was starting to feel the affects of the blows I had recently took. "No time for questions. Get you and your kids out of here right now."

            "Mom?" Todu came into the room holding Karen. "What's going on? Aunt Rip?"

            "All of you get out of here right now!" There was a crackling sound. "Eh?! Move!"  I pushed my sister out of the way, and here came down the ceiling on me. Gee, where had this happened before today?

            I threw the ceiling piece off of me and Black jumped in front of me. We stood there facing each other in awe. I didn't glance at Karen or the kids. I just stared at the clone in front of me. I had to keep my guard up. No more playing, I had to kill her now.

            I charged forward and kicked her in the face. She went flying through the door and onto the road. I did not give her a chance to get up. I jumped on her. I balled up both of my fists and they connected her face. They connected with her face over and over again. I then grabbed her by the head and began to slam her face into the asphalt over and over again. Still she was breathing. I slammed her on more time into the ground before and plummeted my fist into her chest. Blood spewed from her mouth onto me as I ripped out her heart. I spat at her and threw the organ down to the ground.

            I stood up and looked towards the house. My sister, she stood there with terror across her face. She had never seen me in this state. She was the only one who had never seen me like this. Things would only get worst too. I had one down and three to go.

            I tapped the earring on my ear. "Zane?" I questioned.

            "What you need, Bash Girl?" he asked.

            "I need ya'll to take care of Kerry and her kids for me," I said. "They need it."

            "Anything you need, Rip," he replied. "How are your injuries?"

            "They hurt," I replied smirking.

            "RIP!" The flash of gold ran past me followed by a flash of red. "HURRY UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ONE!"

            I took off and caught Red in the face. She flew strait into a brick wall. I really needed to get out of this rural area. Copper joined my side. He was definitely the fastest thing in the universe if he wasn't, he wouldn't be alive right now.

            "We need to get out of the suburbs," I told him. "We risk too many lives staying here."

            We watched as Red stood up. She looked over at the street at her dead sister. Here eyes narrowed and suddenly she started to laugh.

            "Uh?" We were certainly dumbfounded. The clone could laugh?

            Suddenly a chip lifted up from the forehead of a dead black. "That cannot be good."

            It zipped past us and to the laughing clone. She stopped laughing but kept a sinister grin as she opened her arms wide and let the chip embed into her chest.

            "That is definitely not good!" Copper said.

            Still staring like the dimwits we were, we watched as Black's body began to shape and twist and deform and grow.

            "A midtransformation?" I questioned.

            "Uh, Rip, I think it's a little more than a midtransformation." Copper's voice cracked. We looked up at It. "Rip, what do you we do?"

            "Duh," I replied. I turned around and took off. "We run that's what!"

            "Gah! Rip!" He took off after me with an oversized mutant raptor chasing after us.

            Have any of you ever watched those really odd animated features from Japan? Anime I do believe it's called? Have you ever sense those dumbfounded, corny faces they make when they are afraid. Now, picture two very scared 20 year old Everstins; one of raptor type and one of wolven type; making those weird faces as are tails are being chased by Crayak's sorry excuse for a raptor.

            "Rip! Can't you do anything with it?!"

            "That thing has the powers and abilities of both those chicks!" I pointed out. "Besides, I don't have any idea what this freak is capable of doing!"

            "Like that ever stopped you before!" he yelled. "C'mon miss Black Angel just knock its head off!"

            I kicked off from the ground into the hair. "Oi! What the hell are you doing?!" He kicked off after me.

            "It's big!" I pointed out. "There's no way if it can maneuver in the air with that size as well as us!" I winced. Damnit, my injuries were opening themselves again. I had even started to come to myself as well. This wasn't good not with this challenge.

            "Yea! Good idea!" he cheered. "It's most likely too big to fly at all!"

            "Grraaaahhh!"

            "Okay so it can fly!"

            "Copper, you need to get out of here," I stated.

            "I'm not leaving you alone!"

            I looked at him. "I won't be far behind you," I said. "I need to get this thing dead. I need you to find Grae for me."

            He looked at me with soften eyes. The then got a stern look on his face and took off in the other direction. Deform tried to take off after him but I flew in front of it and stood there with my arms folding across my chest.

            "If your master is listening, tell him that you are the most sorry excuse for a raptor let alone a clone of me that I have ever seen. He really shouldn't quit his day job."

            I summed me my leftover strength and charged for It. I didn't get close enough before its thick tail caught me. "Greh." I gritted my teeth together as the tail snaked around my body. It was constricting my body. It was using my own, and one of my favorite techniques, against me. I glared up at It. It seemed to be glowing with pleasure. It's eyes had turned red as the third sun.

            This creature just wasn't a double clone anymore. It was possessed. "Oh you're good Crayak. You know that already though, don't you?" I narrowed my eyes. "But you're not good enough."

            I tapped into myself and I began to push away the thick tail around me. "Besides, Crayack you are stupid." I looked up again at It. "You were stupid to think you could get a mother and child; especially, this mother and her child!" I pushed enough room through for me to blast my way through and aimed strait at It's face. I didn't use my fist this time but I rammed head first into its forehead. It fell back in and became slightly disoriented. I could feel the blood tricked down my face from the blow.

            I gritted my teeth and gathered my strength again. I then charged for It again at using my body's (not my soul mind you) limits. I balled up my fists and sent as many blows as I could into It's face and chest. I wasn't going to get anywhere like this. I summoned up my strength and charged with my whole body at It. I closed my eyes as my entire body plummeted through and through It's chest.

            I came out covered in it's insides and stumbled to the ground as It fell. I stayed on my hands and knees watching it. Waiting to see it get up. It tripped, believe me. However, it failed. It fell to the ground and it's artificial body began to dissolved.

            I spit out a mass of blood from my mouth and shakily stood to my feet. I smirked. "And, Crayak, this is why I'm the most powerful mortal on the face of the planet."

Yes, this was a short chapter, and it's been awhile sense I've updated, but I was reading through some old chapter earlier, and I'm like, dang I need to finish this. After almost over 1 year and half of working on this I still have a lot of writing to do. It's odd how as a read through it I can tell the differences and growth I've done as I read what I've written. Though I have to say, my grammar and spelling are still as bad.

Thanks to everyone who's read and reviewed this. It's a great thanks, and I only hope to attract more people attention with it. One day I will take all of the "Animorph" elements out of it, and plan on making it my own story, and possibly a manga.

And if you enjoyed this, you may read the other stories I'm working on. My Inu Yasha story and my Kingdom Hearts Story are still doing decently well. And my Rurouni Kenshin fanfic needs the attention it deserves

Arigatou.
