Okay, this is a really long chapter, and the last one. There will be one more sequel to this one. Please keep reviewing. Oh, and I don't own Hannah Montana, c'mon people we've over this way too many times now.
Miley's body hung from the ropes, unmoving. Everyone was motionless. Hannah beckoned Amber over, leaving Ashley to guard the door.
"Is she dead?" Hannah asked Amber, who was feeling for a pulse.
"Not yet, but just a little bit more should do it." Amber told her, backing away from Miley as Hannah's hands began to glow with electricity again.
"Wait a minute! You're trying to kill Miley?" Cooper asked.
"Well, duh! Listen, you want to know why Miley defeated me last time?" Hannah scanned the small group's desperate and disgusted faces. "Okay, I'll take that as a yes.
Miss Stuart got away because I let her live. Her body still had that stupid little heart of hers beating!" Hannah was screaming frantically now, in complete hysteria. "But if she dies, I can take over, and she won't be able to fight against me. If you break the remote, then she'll still be dead. But if you let me in her body, I'll be able to preserve her memory as one of the greatest pop stars of all time."
"I'd rather my daughter be buried next to her mother than let a monster like you take her over." Mr. Stuart spoke up quietly, keeping his eyes on the still unconscious Miley the whole time.
Meanwhile, while the others began to speak up too, Miley's eyes began to open slowly. Unknown to anyone, she had used her advanced acting skills to her advantage. Miley had heard everything that the clone had said.
Actually, she was in so much pain that death that seemed to be the easy way to go. But she needed to stay alive for her family and friends. It was all she could do, however, not to scream so to release the pain that was trapped inside of her.
Instead, she began to pick at a knot in the ropes that tied her wrists behind the bar. It had been loosened a bit because of how much she had jolted when Hannah had hit her. She listened carefully while the hologram began to go on and on.
"You don't understand, do you?" Hannah whispered to Mr. Stuart, in a voice that they could barely hear. "You still think there is a way out. You still think that your precious little daughter can actually escape. Well, sorry to break it to you, cowboy, but it's over. The remote that you stopped me with last time is now around Ashley's neck, protected, and there's no other way to stop me."
She grinned at the look of rage on Mr. Stuart's face, and turned around to finish Miley off. Her smile instantly melted when she saw the ropes that had bound Miley to the pole lying on the floor.
Then she began to laugh. "Okay, hide and seek, I can totally play along." With those words she began to blast apart the closet.
In a merry voice she called out, "Come out, come out, wherever you are!"
In the meanwhile, Lily was trying to mumble something to the rest of her friends out of the corner of her mouth. They nodded and began to move closer to the door.
With a sudden movement, Oliver and Cooper grabbed Amber while Lily and Jackson grabbed Ashley. Mr. Stuart made a move for the necklace around Ashley's neck, and the chain snapped, making the necklace fall into Mr. Stuart's hand.
Amber let out a scream to warn Hannah, and she turned, annoyed of being interrupted while she was in the middle of destroying Miley's shoe racks. When she saw what had happened, her eyes got wide and her mouth began to squeeze itself into a small ball.
"So, what? You think that just because you have the remote, you can stop me?"
Catching the look on Mr. Stuart's face, she rolled her eyes and said, "Obviously you think you can."
She began to walk slowly towards him, watching as the key to her life tightened in his nervous hand. Calmly, she began to talk.
"Okay, so you have my life in your hand. You can destroy me at any time. But, me, I'm forgiving. Here's the deal, you let me have my life," and she blasted a clothes hanger off its rack, reveling Miley, who was hunched over in pain, "and I'll spare your daughter, if only for a while."
Mr. Stuart looked as if he was considering it, when Miley suddenly looked up at him and screamed, "Don't do it, she'll only trick you!"
At this Hannah completely lost control. She spun around, this time, her eyes were glowing a pale white. "Quiet, you!"
Then she spun around again and shouted to Amber and Ashley. "Well, the jig's up, girls, you can come out now!"
At this, Amber and Ashley's hands suddenly began to glow yellow with electricity, too. They eloucuted everyone who was holding on to them into unconscious. Then, two people, exactly like Amber and Ashley stepped out of the girls bodies. They could have been their twins. Instead, they were holograms. The real Amber and Ashley fell to the floor.
Miley let out a sharp gasp of breath. Hannah looked over to where she was attempting to sit up and rolled her eyes.
"Yes, they're holograms. Do you think the real Amber and Ashley would have helped me? They started to make holograms of everyone, I was just one of the people included. They made holograms of everyone. Look."
And with that, she pointed to the door, where the unconscious Amber, Ashley and Miley's friends laid. People started to appear, but they were copies of everyone that Miley knew and some she didn't even know. Miley and Mr. Stuart just watched with open mouths as thousands of holograms came through the walls. As they did, Hannah began to speak again.
"Of course, all holograms start out good, but they eventually end up with resentment for humans. Amber and Ashley made the first holograms of themselves. The holograms eventually ended up going inside their bodies and taking over. Then, using the notes Amber and Ashley only too helpfully made, they began to create more and more holograms. All the holograms have to do is take over their owners bodies and they will pave the way for the new species of the Earth. The holograms will rule, and humans will be nothing more than just tools. So," she said, turning with a smile to Mr. Stuart, "even if you somehow manage to defeat me, you can't save your family. They will be destroyed, along with everyone else."
She unexpectedly transformed into Miley and said, in said in Miley soft southern voice, "Now, do you want to do this the easy way, or do you have to be attacked by your own daughter to do it?"
Mr. Stuart looked as if he was going to crush the necklace but the Miley clone let out a grunt of disbelief.
"You wouldn't kill your own daughter, even if it's only a clone of her."
With those words, she fired out the biggest bolt of lighting she could find, and Mr. Stuart dropped to the ground.
"Daddy!" Miley screamed. She turned to Hannah with something that she never had in her eyes before: pure hate.
"You witch." She whispered.
Hannah snorted and looked at Miley. "Aw, what's the matter? Feeling bad that it's your fault he's in trouble?"
"My fault!" Miley practically roared. "You were the one who attacked me. He came here to help me."
"True, but if you had been able to fight back and weren't such a weakling, maybe he would still be okay."
Miley stood up and walked over to the hologram, passing through thousands of others on the way to Hannah. None bothered to stop her, thinking that she was too hurt and their leader was too strong for anything to happen.
Miley came and stood right in front of Hannah, giving her a chance to look over her work. Miley had a huge cut in her stomach, a scratch across her cheek that was still bleeding, and one of her arms looked like it was almost broken, hanging limply at her side. She stuck her face right in front of her clone.
"You might have taken them, but you can't take me. I will be back, and I'll rescue every one of them. I promise you that."
"And how do you expect to escape? Even if you can, where will you go anyway? Everyone that can help you is here."
Miley crossed over to her dad, and took the remote out of his limp hands. Looking sadly at him one last time, she held the remote out in front of her.
"My dad may not be able to kill you, but I will. If you don't let me out of here, or hurt my family in any way, I will smash this remote into a million pieces."
"I d- I don't believe you."
"Oh, I think you do." And with that Miley put the remote under her shoe and began to press down. As Hannah screamed as she began to flicker.
"Okay, okay stop!"
Miley grinned for the first time in the last couple of hours, and the most that she would in the next couple of hours. Then she ran out the door. She didn't know what would happen, but she had to stop the holograms. She knew one thing though: it was going to take some help. Then it came to her. She only helped that these people would help her.
A few hours later, she came up to a blond girl who was reading a magazine.
"Hi, what can I- Hannah, what are you doing here!"
"Maddie, I need Arwin's help."
Okay, the final story of the hologram trilogy will have the Tipton crew in it. I thought it might be a nice idea for a crossover. If you don't like this, then I can take them out there in the first chapter (Arwin will tell her what she needs to do and she'll leave them) But otherwise I will have them in the story for a while. At least I think. I don't really know what I'm going to do yet. I'm going to try to make Miley stronger though. I know in my last story and this one I've made her seem like a bit of a weakling. But now she's going to save them all, maybe. She might just get taken over too. I haven't worked out the ending yet.
