A/n: I'm baaaack! *Jazz hands*

~~~~~~~~~~~

The same hair.

The same face.

The exact same voice!

It was like looking into a mirror.

The only difference were those swirling, green eyes...

They mesmerized and terrified Nya all at the same time.

Who... W-Who are you?

Nya tried to say these words, but no noise left her lips. It felt like she really was underwater. At least she didn't seem to be suffocating, though.

The elemental tried once more with speaking, but her copy already answered.

I'm you.

Nya raised an eyebrow. Her doppelganger's mouth moved, but her voice sounded like a distant echo.

Finally, Nya scoffed, or at least made the motion of it, before continuing.

Pfft, sure okay. Let's say I believe that. Where am I?

In your mind.

Alright, would you quit it with the tricks and just tell me the truth?

...

Well?

Nya's copy kept her frown and still refused to answer.

"Nya!? Y-You're here!" a voice shouted around them. Nya scanned the ocean floor, not seeing anyone else.

Cole?

"What do you mean you just fell asleep at the movie theater? Nya, you scared us half to death!" another voice exclaimed.

Skylor?

Nya snapped her attention back onto her copy.

Where are my friends! What's going on!?

Again, the second water master didn't answer. She just merely stepped aside as a bubble rose next to her.

Nya noticed pictures flashing inside it, so she walked closer.

It was the boy's apartment. Cole and Skylor were staring into the bubble as if it were a camera lens. The redhead soon started shaking it before coming in for a hug.

"As much as I want to smack you right now, I'm just glad you're safe," she said happily.

"Yeah, good to see you're okay, Nya," Cole replied with a bright smile.

"Aww, you guys are too sweet," another voice answered that sounded just like--

Me... Guys! That's not me! Cole! Sky! Anybody!?!

The bubble popped. Nya threw her hands around the water frantically, searching for any sign of her friends.

Finally, fury boiled up inside the young woman before she whipped around to face the quiet copy.

Let me go... NOW!

I can't do that.

Why not!? What do you want!?

My masters want something from you.

Your... masters?

Yes, they want to know the location of Borg's lab. They want their experiments back.
