The plan was simple but the doing part was hard. Adam and I went to the force field and I blasted it with fire. I had to focus really hard and the flame was really intense. If Shalimar was here, I think I would have scared her since she's afraid of fire. But I think anyone would have been scared. Even Adam was scared. But he wasn't only scared though, I think he is actually afraid that I can destroy the world with my power. After burning the wall for about 10 minutes, the invisible wall finally shattered.

Adam and I entered the lab and he started working. I, of course, sat down for awhile and rested. Burning invisible walls isn't exactly easy. As a matter of fact, it took a lot out of me but I never showed any signs of weakness while Adam was there. I got right back up after a few minutes because I was afraid he might get worried.

I looked for Evil Adam and Alex around the lab while Adam worked on the cure. To my horror, I found a big hole in the wall. They had left the lab without us knowing and they could be anywhere right now. I hurried back to Adam and told him the bad news. Adam told me to search for them and not to worry about him. I disagreed because there would be no one to protect him, but I finally agreed in the end because he knew better and he had such a way with words. I realized that Adam could be very persuasive at times.

I didn't have to go look for Alex because she showed herself after a while, looking for me. "Hello," I said slowly, eyeing Alex suspiciously. "Look what we got here."

Alex only stared at me through her blank, lifeless eyes. Then she smiled and said, "Are you ready to die?"

I narrowed my eyes and chuckled to myself. "Boy, this must be how you would be when if you ever turned evil."

"Hmph." Alex smiled slyly. "Let's begin, shall we?"

"Uh, um, I don't want to hurt you," I said.

"Hurt me?" Alex asked, amused. "Trust me, you won't even be able to get near me."

Then, Alex ran straight towards me. I saw her heading towards me, so I fired a fireball at her, but she dodged it easily and landed on her feet. Her eyes glowed a neon green and I think she snarled at me. I stared uneasily at her, not from fear but because I had to fight my best friend. I was reluctant to fight her, so I decided to defend myself as well as I can without hurting Alex.

She charged at me again with her fist ready to hit me. I froze the ground under her and she slipped. She got up quickly, frustrated and angry. Alex jumped up and punched my face before I could block her. I staggered backwards from the force of the punch and refocused my attention on her. She charged towards me again and kept throwing punches. I blocked every punch and used my leg to trip her. Then I froze her to the ground.

Alex transformed into Jesse and phased through the ice. Then she transformed into Brennan and kept firing bolts of lightning at me. I kept dodging them and backing up. Finally, I reached the lab and went inside. Alex followed me in. We found Adam inside, whose head jerked up at the sound of our entrance. Alex smiled evilly at me and fired bigger bolts of lightning at me. Alex obviously enjoyed the game of cat-and-mouse.

Alex fired some bolts of lightning at Adam to try and hurt him and keep him where he was. She missed but turned her attention back to me and changed into Shalimar. She threw hard kicks and punches at me. They were getting harder and harder to block. I had weakened considerably from all the attacks I encountered and was getting weaker by the second.

Adam was torn between what he should do and I saw it on his face. Should he help me or continue to find the cure? I groaned as another punch was aimed at me.

"Adam!" I shouted. "Don't worry… about me! I can handle it! Keep trying to find….the cure!"

"Yeah!" Alex leered. "Keep doing that, Adam! You think you're so smart!"

Alex turned into me and giggled. "Ooh…." she said. "Look who I am?"

She looked at me and directed more attacks at me. She fired sharp shards of ice at me, but Adam jumped in front of me and shielded me. He cried out in pain as the ice cut through his clothes and into his skin. He started bleeding from the wounds but didn't show any signs of giving up. He put his hand on one of the large cuts on his arm and tried to stop it from bleeding so much. He ripped some material from his shirt and tried to tie it around his arm over the cut. Seeing how much difficulty he had with it, I helped him.

I watched Alex change back into herself. I felt rage and hatred boil inside of me. I could stand it no longer.

"Ahhh!!! I will not let you get away with this!"

I charged toward Alex and let all my rage, anger and hatred loose. I couldn't just step aside while someone I loved got hurt. I shot blazing fireballs at Alex who was unaware that I might hurt her badly because she thought I'd never hurt her. I also shot ice at her in the shape of sharp knives. The attacks pierced her from behind because she had turned around, examining some bruises on her arm.

She turned back around to face me, angry and in pain. I unleashed all my fury into my attacks. I fired more attacks at her as she tried to block them. She couldn't. And I was satisfied, but kept firing at her. I was blinded by my fury. I heard Alex cry out in pain but I couldn't stop. It was as if I couldn't control my own hand. Adam tried to stop me. But I didn't let him.

"Stop, Sam! You're going to kill her at this rate! You're going to regret it! She's not Alex right now! Stop!"

"DON'T……TRY….TO……STOP……ME, ADAM!"

Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a dark figure flash past me. I paid not much attention to it, but when I focused my attention on Alex again. To my surprise, Adam was in front of her blocking my attacks, trying to help Alex.

No, wait, that's evil Adam, I realized. Then, why is he protecting Alex, isn't he evil? I yelled towards and asked Adam, asking him why Evil Adam was protecting Alex, since he was evil and cared about no one.

Adam answered, "He is evil, but he is the evil part of me. He has my maternal instincts and they tell him to protect the ones he cares. And right now, he cares about Alex."

"Wow, is that why you protecting me when she was attacking me?" Alex asked teary-eyed. It was apparent that Evil Adam's control over her was slowing weakening. "I had no idea that you cared about me."

"Uh…….no," replied Evil Adam embarrassed. "Whatever. That goody-goody Adam has no idea what he's talking about."

"Oh, yes I do!" replied Adam sharply. "You didn't want to help her, but your instincts made you help her."

"Whatever," said Evil Adam again. "You think you're so smart!"

Adam and I stared at each other in amusement when we heard what Evil Adam said. "Wow, you'd think they were father-and-daughter by what they think and say."

"Well, the same goes for you two!" Evil Adam and Alex snapped at Adam and I.
