The light fades back into darkness and Jet opened his eyes to find himself in the same spot he was in. Nothing was different except that everyone else was gone. He stood there in a daze. "Nothing...happened." He concluded.

"B-but...there was a scary light!" Jet argued. Then Jet's eyes went wide.

"Snap! You're me." Jet stood back in pure shock. He examined 'Jet 2' to notice that this copy wore clothing much different than his own. If he were to recall the time he went into Virginia's Twilight Sun dream this Jet was dressed similarly in nice clothing.

The second Jet was equally startled. His brows set to worry. "Looks...that way."

"So...all that happened was another me?" Jet wondered.

Jet 2 noticed Jet's ARM. "I-Is that an ARM? You really shouldn't have one, someone might get hurt."

Jet stared at Jet 2. "What? Are you sure you're me?"

"I'm a part of you."

"Yeah...my wimpy side." Jet sighs.

"I'd prefer you say sophisticated side." Jet 2 said with chattering teeth. He was afraid of his other self being that he was afraid of any confrontation.

Virginia in her ripped green dress stumbled into the room. "Jet? So...there's one of you as well?"

"You too?"

A second Virginia enters behind the original. Hair cut short with green and red colors added to her normal brown. Sleeveless shirt with no bra, short black skirt and red pantyhose. She gives the two Jets a glare. "What youse looking at?"

Jet 2 hid behind his original. "S-Scary,"

Jet hung his head in shame. "I'm taking a wild stab...and guessing that the Twilight Gemini separated or most hidden sides that we hide from others and made them real."

"You got that right dorkinator." Jet 2 yelps and jumps as Clive 2 pokes him on the back. Clive 2 being a man in more casual ware and lacking glasses.

"Now, now Clive. You can hassle them later." Clive replied as he tried to calm his other. "Though..."

Gallows is flung into the room. "Can't we just get along?" He pleaded as his second came in dressed the same as he is normally.

"Hey! That's what you get for calling me an uglier version of you!" Gallows 2 argued. "I swear honestly. We have a job to do. Isn't that right Clive?"

"I'm not doing any job with you." Clive 2 replied.

"Look, we have to...say...where's Emilia." Clive surveyed the room.

"Hey everyone!" Emilia 2 called out as she was beating up Jet 2. "Come over and help me beat this weakling up!"

"Wait...the other Emilia's the mean one?" Gallows wondered.

"Yeah, he's an ass." Emilia commented as she came into the room.

Two Caroles' enter the room as well. Neither any different. "I see...so it happened to me too?"

"So...what do we do?" Virginia wondered.

"I don't know. Kill our seconds?" Jet questioned. Immediately all of the copies except Jet 2 became defensive.

"Just try it." Emilia 2 urged.

"Bring it little man!" Virginia 2 argued. "I never understood what was so interesting about you anyway." She glared at Jet.

"Shut up!" Nobuo entered the room with another man who looked just like him as well. Twilight Gemini in the true one's hand. Everyone was silent. "You don't have to kill them. Just accept them. They are your embodiment of togetherness. Desire and want yourself and accept them and you will be back to normal."

"Hey, don't help them." Nobuo 2 interjected. "Let's just kill them now and get this over with please."

Nobuo looks to him. "Why so nice with this...'please'?"

"Now that I think about it...do you think we can take on all ten of them?" Nobuo 2 questioned.

"C'mon?"

"Oh, right, of course." Nobuo 2 laughs. "I shouldn't underestimate myself."

"We can take them, okay?" Jet asks the group.

"I don't know...they look pretty tough." Jet 2 adds.

Jet hangs his head again. "The ONE time I can be twice as strong...I get you?"

Emilia 2 took center stage pushing everyone between them aside. "Move aside. I'll take them both." Emilia 2 charges the two Nobuo only to be kicked aside by the two.

"Transcendent the Blade!" Emilia joined her second sending the astral blade out at the two sending Nobuo 2 aside. As Nobuo was looking to his second Virginia 2 comes with a flying kick to Nobuo's head, but Nobuo 2 creates a forcefield sending Emilia 2, and Virginia 2 aside.

"Interesting. I never had to use my abilities in a battle to date." Nobuo grins. As Nobuo 2 joins him. "I may as well go all out!" With a wave of his hand a foul wind sends Jet flying into a wall with Emilia on a second wave from Nobuo 2. Gallows takes up his ARM and fires, but the shot is dodged. Throwing his head at Nobuo 2, Clive hits the man back, but is flung away as Emilia 2 was.

Jet 2 looks to his discarded friends. Seeing his friends harmed. His own original dizzy and recovering from Nobuo's attack. He clenched his fist and looked to Nobuo. Jet 2 charges forward and clotheslines both of them, but by the time the two Nobuo's landed on the ground Jet 2 was nowhere to be seen.

Jet was already standing up. "What...just happened to...me...I mean, the other me?"

Emilia 2 stood up in disgrace. "Idiot! By going against who he was he negated himself."

Jet stared at her. "You mean...if you were to act against what you stand for...like how he fought when he was a wimp...he loses his life?" Jet looks back to the two Nobuo who are standing up. "Look, Emilia...Emilia's let's just go kicks his ass!"

The two Emilia's charge forward as does he and attack. Jet striking at the original Nobuo who dodges only to be hit by a kick from Emilia. Meanwhile Emilia 2 stabs Nobuo 2 who sent his hand through Emilia 2's body. A whole forearm that went through the copy's body. The two copies disappearing into nothing like Jet 2 had.

Nobuo letting out a laugh. "That was my nice side. Now you are left with my dark side forever."

Emilia stood like she had a frog in her throat. Jet looked to her with worry. "Emilia...lost that part of her when he killed her other?"

"Correct." Nobuo smugly replied.

"You monster!" Emilia lunges forward in rage as Nobuo jumps over her to a single Carole. The second Carole having been dealt with and accepted while they all were fighting.

"Thank you for the Twilight Gemini." With that Nobuo and Carole were gone. All too quickly. It may have been the fact that he threw a smoke bomb to the ground and by the time it left they had been gone.

Jet began after him, but was stopped by Virginia. "He's getting away!"

"What do we do about our seconds?" She questioned. "I need you to help me."

"Do what you wish. If you don't want that part of you, kill them, you can always accept them. I have to go after Nobuo. I won't let him have that Element." Jet moved her aside and ran after the fleeing enemy.

"I'm not about to die." Virginia 2 warned as she gave her second a glare.

"I'm not about to kill you." Virginia replied. "You're me. I couldn't expect more of you." At that her second turns to air.

Emilia's anger finally exploded. She was in a daze for the moment. Then she broke for the path they came down and followed after Jet. She had lost a part of her, and she was not about to let Nobuo get away with that.

Gallows and Clive meanwhile had to turn their attentions to their counterparts. Unfortunately their seconds were beating up one another at the time for some ill words the two had sent. Gallows looked to Clive. "Is that really me?"

"Sometimes."

"I've never seen you act like that guy." Gallows pointed out as Clive 2 punches Gallows 2 in the jaw.

"Well...it's me nevertheless. Put me with him and you get Clive Winslett." At that Clive 2's punch to Gallows ribs went and left no damage. Gallows 2 fell to the ground now that Clive 2 wasn't holding him in the air.

"I'm not going to kill myself." Gallows shrugged. "Hey, other me." He helped himself off the ground. "Let's go get drunk and find some ladies."

"I hear 'ya there!" Gallows 2 said with a grin.

"Now that's me talking!" At that Gallows 2 left. Gallows grimaced. "Ah...I was hoping he'd buy."

"C'mon, I'll buy you a round." Clive led the Baskar away as Virginia joined them.

They meet up with Jet and Emilia outside. "We lost him?" Virginia questioned.

Jet kicked a pebble. He looked to her and hesitated. "Twilight Lone is left. We have to get that one at least."

"And...all we know about it's location as of now is that it's in our sandcraft, but the person who made it knows it isn't there." Clive added rubbing his chin. "So...we really have no idea where to look."

"Then I might suggest, being the leader, that we keep our guard up, and basically roam around looking for what we can about everything regarding these things." Virginia put up for discussion, but it was agreed upon.

"Let's just...go eat some dinner." Jet kicked a rock and walked away for the sandcraft as did Virginia and Clive. Gallows was just behind them. He was hungry.

Then he stopped. "Emilia?"

"I'll...be there...just let me sit a moment." She looked off to the distance as she remained atop the rock she sat on.

He moved slowly for her. "Look...I'm sorry...This must all be horrible for you. I mean...your...mom being an enemy, and then...you lost that aggressive part of you that acts like...actually, that may help me. Maybe you won't rag on me so much now."

"That was the worst comforting line I've ever heard." Emilia groaned. "And...I still can rag on you. I lost my dominatrix part."

"Oh...so no kinky sex from you."

She blushed. "I...didn't mean it like that."

"Well, at least you don't have to worry about ever unleashing that emotion on anyone anymore. I think it'd be better."

"Maybe you're right. It's just that...it's something that belonged to me, and that just doesn't sit well with me." She stands up. "Don't bother with it. I know you enough, you're hungry as Hell. Just go on and I'll catch up."

"I'd thought you'd never let me." He darts off in the never-ending quest for food. She just shakes her head with a laugh.

That may have come out a little bad. I am a bit tired, so that might be the problem. That, and my mind is stuck on my new NDS story so...Well, that's what happens. I wrote the opening today, and I felt total excitement about it that I haven't felt in a year, ever since my last attempt at writing a third ending to NDS. The second ending being Overgrown which you've seen already, probably. The third ending, Twilight is Blinding, will be the next fanfic I'll be doing. It has nothing to do with the Twilight Elements. But it has a cool enemy. There are always some cool enemies. Nobuo doesn't have the same impact as others, but that's because you never know anything about him. Well, you will, probably, I never talked about it in the original, but there was a reason for what Nobuo is doing, and you'll see that in time. Is he really evil, or was he made to be this way?

I feel stupid talking about a story only about five people have read. And no one has seen the end to NDS aside from me when I wrote it in April of 2003.

In my defense, NDS went a bit clichéd near to the introduction to Twilight Elements. I wrote that part when I was in the hospital, so maybe Morphine was at work that day.

But...then, I also came up with Clash of the Titans at the end of the week when I was on pain killers, and that was decent, so who knows. Maybe it was just me.
