Chapter 2:

Carl's POV

After being separated from Jeremie's Belpois group, I decide to go practice my Wushu art in the Woods due to fact that I don't have any classes today in the afternoon and it is the only place that seem private. As I was praciticing, I was interrupted by a sound of a twig being stepped on.

I turned to the noise and yelled, "Who's there?"

All the sudden, this kid that looked a clone of me walked into my view.

I suspected that he wanted something. So, I told him, "yes?"

As this clone's pupils changed into this weird symbol and said, "You are a threat to XANA. I am going to destroy you."

I assumed that this clone of mine, is calling me out for a fight as I said nothing back. We were both standing in our place.

The clone was the first one to throw the first punch. I merely match my clone's speed by stepping to the side and blocking the punch along with his momentum.

Then I rapidly punch the clone's side of his face.

As I keeping my clone's arm firm while punching, the clone used his leg to side-kick me but, now, I'm right behind him.

As I got behind my clone, I pushed him forward.

The clone quickly tried to back-kick me but, I caught his leg.

To my surprise, the clone used his other foot to kick me in the head taking my momentum to the side. I recoiled back to my Wushu stance and did a really hard double thrust punched on the clone. The clone repeat did the same thing to me but, only his was harder. We already knew who's going to do what by matching the same speed, reading each others movements by blocking, punching, and kicking. Oh, and some, "hiyas!" It was like reading each others' mind.

The clone made the final effective move. It was a flying bicycle kick in the chest. The force was so big enough that I hit a tree and spewed a bit of blood.

"So, aren't you, Liu Kang?" I mocked the clone. I was now at my vulnerability as the clone took the advantage of going for the deadly finishing blow. Unexpectedly, the clone just dissipated out of thin air.

For a comic relief, an "I must be losing my head for a sec" was the last thing that came out my mouth. After this whole mess, I decided it is time head back to the campus.

Normal POV

Back at the campus, it was already dinner time. So, Carl headed to the cafeteria. When he got there, he only saw Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi at his new table.

"Hey guys!" Carl greeted him.

"Did something happen while we're gone?" Ulrich joked.

"Maybe. Why?" Carl asked.

"Because you look like a total disaster" Ulrich stated the obvious.

"You wouldn't believe the truth even if I want to tell you what happened to me in the forest" Carl explained.

"We got time, lets hear it" Yumi assured.

Carl started to explain, "Well, I was attacked by some weird clone as I was practicing my Wushu,"

"You do Wushu?" asked Odd as he was interested in the part.

"Yes, I do. Anyway, before it attacked me, it said something about me being a threat to this 'XANA thing' before me and him gotten into a long fight. I was able to hold him for long until, he did a Liu Kang on me. As he was about to kill me, he just *poof* into thin air. I'm beginning to think that I'm losing my mind on my first day"

"hmm, that's interesting," Yumi said flat-out.

"Sounds like, a first day trouble to me," Ulrich joked.

"Yeah, tell me about" Carl played along.

"Well, we are all going to be hanging out in Jeremie's room. You should stop on by" Odd assured as he stood up from the table.

Carl nodded with an "Okay" as the group is about to leave.
