"Adam," Cory said running over and helping the boy to walk.

"Well are you going to help?" Cory said looking over at Shusei and Hotsuma.

Shusei walked over and put the man's arm over his shoulder helping Cory to prop him up.

"I thought the change in directions was weird so I went to find Nikki to find out what was going on," Adam explained, "I was blind-sided by someone who looked like me but talked weird, like he was from down south instead of New York."

"There have been a lot of them," Adam continued, "but there's always a slight difference from the real person. You really have to look at them. A fake version of Hotsuma almost killed me."

"Do we know what's going on? Is it a Duras?" Shusei asked.

"No," Adam said, "we'd get reading of a Duras nearby. It's someone already here."

"Maybe Davi's group?" Shusei asked thinking out loud.

"I'm not sure," Adam admitted, "But we have to find out soon. Two Zweilts have gone missing."

"You're not going to make it very far," Shusei observed.

"He's right," Adam said looking up at Cory, "go get Logan and Nikki and meet us back here. We'll be okay and you're the only one who knows the way."

Cory looked like he was debating something.

"We'll be fine I promise," Adam insisted.

"Okay," Cory finally said and turned to Hotsuma, "Don't try anything funny."

Hotsuma just glared at him as he ran off.


"This way," Danny said leading them down another hall, "they're probably in the breakfast hall."

"How much further?" Toko asked looking around.

"Just to the left," Danny said walking and going to open the door.

The hairs on the back of Tsukumo's neck stood up.

"Don't open the door," Tsukumo urged.

"Are you getting the same feeling that I am?" Danny asked looking back at him, "like it's a…"

"A trap," Tsukumo nodded.

"We need to get out of here and find them," Danny said, "Jack do you want to scout ahead?"

Jack looked over at him and quickly nodded. He ran up to Adam and took his belt.

"What are you?" Danny started before he realized what Jack was doing, "Oh. They already copied us. They can't fix things like you adding a belt and me losing one."

Jack smirked and nodded once.

"We need a code word too," Tsukumo suggested, "so we know who's who."

Jack whispered something in Danny's ear that made him go red instantly.

"Something other than that," Danny hissed at him.

Jack smirked slightly, the same creepy grin he always seemed to have.

Jack whispered into his ear again.

"That could work," Danny said, "goodbye."

"What was it?" Tsukumo asked once Jack was out of sight.

Danny leaned in closely to Tsukumo and whispered in his ear.

Tsukumo just smiled and whispered the word in Toko's ear.


"Now can you please tell me what happened?" Logan asked the glaring Kuroto as he applied some antiseptic to the cuts.

"He came to get us from our room," Kuroto started glaring at Leslie who was sitting down next to Senshirou.

"You mean Leslie," Logan asked.

"Yes," Kuroto said, "he said he was supposed to take us down to a meeting. We walked through the door and it locked on us. We tried to get out and then a voice said 'you can't save them, just wait and see. Watch as your friends die.' We watched the attack Hotsuma and Shusei, Tsukumo and Toko, and Yuki and Luka"

"Are you sure it was Leslie?" Logan asked as he started to bandage the cuts covering Kuroto, "there's no difference at all?"

Kuroto looked Leslie up and down and couldn't find a difference at all but then Senshirou spoke up.

"He's taken a piercing out," Senshirou noticed.

"He lost an earring this morning," Logan said, "but that was about 6 this morning. A few hours before you'd been attacked. We heard some strange noises and went to investigate. Something attacked us and Leslie lost a backing and had to take it out."

"If it wasn't him than who was it?" Kuroto asked.

"I'm not sure," Logan asked then leaned back and went to get Senshirou.

He was walking over when he dropped the bottle suddenly.

"Did you say Hotsuma and Shusei?" he asked and turned to Kuroto.

"Yeah, why?" Kuroto asked.

"I led them to the coordinates Nikki sent Cory this morning," he said realization dawning, "I swear I didn't realize-."

"That they were in trouble?" Cory asked stepping up, "it wasn't me you were talking to. There have been doppelgangers lurking about. They have been attacking everyone."

"Is everyone okay?" Leslie asked and Logan got up and started on Senshirou's cuts.

"I don't know," Cory said, "I can't find anyone. It's like the whole place has been deserted."

"Where are the Zweilt leaders?" Logan asked.

"I can't find anyone. I've been walking for two hours and you're the first living people I've come across," Cory said plainly, "It's like the whole house has been rearranged."

A loud bang sounded from down the hall, followed by an irritated yell.

"I can't fucking find anything!" the ever eloquent Jack screamed into the nothingness.

"Jack?" Cory asked sticking his head out of the door.

"Cory?" Jack said, "Finally. I don't know what the fuck is going on but nothing is where it's supposed to be."

"I know," he said then turned to Logan, "Adam's in trouble. We need medical help right away."

"Something is coming after Tsukumo, Toko, and Danny," Jack said, "We need to find everyone and get into one room."

"Okay let me just finish up on these cuts," Logan said bandaging Senshirou's cuts.

"Can you sense Danny?" Leslie turned to Jack, "We should find them before we go get Adam."

"Yeah I can sense him if you're ready to go," Jack answered and everyone looked at Logan for confirmation.

"We should get going," Logan said, "but don't wander off at all."

They uncuffed Kuroto and Senshirou and they all followed Jack down a maze of halls. Finally they stumbled on Danny, Toko, and Tsukumo still walking around hopelessly.

"Jack," Danny said, "I've never been so happy to see you in my life."

"For once I'm glad to be creped out," Toko said then put a hand over her mouth, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to-."

"Say that out loud?" Jack asked, "Don't worry I get that a lot."

"It's still not right," Toko said feeling bad.

"It's fine," Cory said impatiently, "and an explanation for a different time. We have to find Adam."

They kept walking until finally they came across the resting place of Hotsuma, Shusei, and Adam.

Adam was looking deathly pale though Shusei was using a red coat to try to keep the bleeding to a minimum.

"Thank you," Cory breathed and ushered Logan over before sitting down and grasping Adam's hand, "You're going to be alright."

"What about Yuki and Luka?" Shusei asked looking over at Cory.

Cory met his eyes with a grim expression.

"I found them," he said solemnly.

"And?" Hotsuma asked not quite getting it.

"They're dead," Cory said almost silently, "I'm sorry."

"What?" Logan asked.

"They had to pulse and rigor had set. They'd been dead for some time," he said unhappily.

"Where the hell is Nikki?" Logan growled looking down, "Why wasn't she here to help?"

The whole ground started shaking beneath them. They all looked around at each other as their vision blurred before becoming dark. They couldn't hear full conversations and tried to make out what was being said.

"They've lost consciousness."

"It's a mind trick."

"Anything is the dream is happening in real life."

"Someone's controlling their minds."

"Duras have been spotted."

"Luka and Yuki are in critical condition."

"They can't seem to respond to us."

"It's like they are dead."

Everything went dark.
