And just like that, another chapter is added to the ongoing story of the three brother witches known as the Complete!
chyp: Thanx.
mythica: I think that's exactly how I'd describe James…a typical alpha male. You hit it right on the head with that one, oh mysterious mythica… And whether or not he knows it, Matt's visions come to him for a reason…
Raya: In time, all things will be answered.
Dr. Gilkeson's eyes flashed once, and the door behind James suddenly locked itself while all the blinds closed, sealing him inside the office. James watched as the professor's eyes returned to normal. They only stared at each other, each waiting on the other to make the first move. Then, Dr. Gilkeson quickly threw the briefcase he was holding at James. It sailed through the air on a path to James' face. James quickly reacted by waving his right hand dismissingly at the briefcase. It instantly changed directions and headed toward its owner. However, Dr. Gilkeson wasn't standing there anymore; he had disappeared in the same rippling manner as the wall. He appeared behind James and quickly grabbed his arms, twisting them behind his back.
"A witch," Dr. Gilkeson spat as though he were saying a bad word. "Not what I had expected, but this could work."
"Don't count on it," James replied as he tried to force his way out of the professor's grip.
No matter how hard he tried, though, he couldn't free himself from the vice-like grip that Dr. Gilkeson had on his arms. Without the use of his hands, James was unable to use his powers. Thinking fast, he concentrated and produced a clone of himself, which appeared behind Dr. Gilkeson. The clone tapped the professor on the shoulder. Dr. Gilkeson turned around and the clone punched him in the face, causing him to release his grip on the real James. The clone waved his hand and Dr. Gilkeson was pushed lightly to the floor. James remembered that his clone only had the ability to use limited telekinesis, which proved to be much weaker. Dr. Gilkeson quickly stood up.
"You'll have to do better than that," he challenged.
"How about this?" both James' asked, grinning.
They simultaneously waved their right hands forcefully and James' full power was unleashed. Dr. Gilkeson flew high into the air and crashed onto his desk, shattering it. The two James' high-fived each other and merged into the original. James raised his hand slowly and Dr. Gilkeson began to slowly rise into the air, not of his own accord.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" James asked, panting heavily. Cloning was still relatively new to him, and it always tired him out when he used it.
"You'll find out soon," Dr. Gilkeson answered cryptically. "Now's a perfect time, as a matter of fact."
With that, he rippled out of sight and reappeared on the ground, unharmed. He stood for a minute, carefully studying his next move. He smiled as his eyes once again dilated themselves, becoming completely black. James did not notice, but the space behind him began to ripple faintly. Without hesitation, Dr. Gilkeson jumped into the air towards James. Before James could react, Dr. Gilkeson disappeared again. Only the sound of his laughter could be heard. James quickly looked all around him, trying to follow the source of the sound. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Dr. Gilkeson reappear from the right side. He turned around to face him, but by now he was too close to use his powers.
He barely had time to block a punch that Dr. Gilkeson threw at him. He retaliated with a punch of his own, but it was blocked as well. Slowly, Dr. Gilkeson pushed James back toward the rippling space behind him. James struggled as he tried to keep up with the professor's almost superior moves. Focusing all of his attention on the fight, James never noticed what was happening behind him. Before he knew it, he had tripped and fallen through the wall, losing his balance…
