Six Stone Souls (The Pack)

Chapter 30

Warnings: Blood

~3rd P.O.V.~

     Mitch, Jerome, Lachlan, Vikk, Preston, and Rob all stare with wide eyes and gaping jaws as they see themselves standing in front of them. Really the only difference between the pack and their counterparts, are that the dark versions are slot lay darker in pigment, they have hollow black eyes, and a weird symbol tattooed under their right eye. (See picture above.) The same symbol replaces Vikk's red and blue diamond on DVikk's shirt.

     "Surprise." DJerome sneers, grinning madly and flashing it's sharp canines.
     "Why the actual fudge are there two of me?" Lachlan demands to himself.
     DLachlan snickers, "You really are an idiot, aren't you?"
     "Hey!" Vikk snaps, already not liking the situation.
     "You imbeciles are clearly confused..." DMitch drawls on, "So I will give you a simple answer. Not that it'll matter much anyway... You're going to die in a moment."
     "I do NOT talk liked that!" Mitch scoffs, causing DMitch to roll it's eyes.
    "They almighty Herobrine created us to kill you-"
     "Which we will" DRob butts in.
     "Because after all... Your greatest weakness... Is yourselves." DMitch simpers as if DRob had not spoken a word.

     And with that DMitch draws its light bow, aiming an arrow directly at Mitch, and letting it sail. The arrow, unlike Mitch's, has a dark aura swirling around it, and Mitch just manages to duck under the projectile. The arrow sinks into the earth wall behind them, vanishing into mid air. Mitch glares daggers at himself.

     "You're forgetting one thing." Preston states, him and his friends rising to their feet. "The good guys win..."

    A ring of fire bursts around their doppelgängers, curtsey of Preston.

     "...and the bad guys lose."

DLachlan douses the ring of fire Preston created with water, causing a huge cloud of steam to rise up, and surround the dark pack. Preston, Rob, Vikk, Jerome, Mitch, and Lachlan all gaze into the billowing steam as still as statues, not daring blink or look away. And then, Mitch perks up, his eyes going wide.

"Scramble!" He orders, everyone splitting up instantly.

No sooner had the six gotten out of the area, than vines are whipping where their heads would have been, as well as shadows balls and light arrows pelting the ground. All of the attacks are surrounded by some sort of dark wispy particles. The projectiles slam into the earth wall, shattering it. The six dive out of the way of the flying rock shards, splitting themselves even more. Now they're completely separated from each other. The dark versions dart out the settling steam, each of them going to spar with themselves. DPreston against Preston, DJerome against Jerome, DVikk against Vikk, etc.

Lachlan and DLachlan jump right into close combat, no powers, no nothing. DLachlan throws a punch at Lachlan, and Lachlan swiftly catches its arm, flipping it onto the ground. After a few more kicks and punches, Lachlan quickly realizes DLachlan isn't fighting like him. It's still good, but it's fighting style is completely different. Where Lachlan might see an opening to kick, DLachlan would throw a left hook of something like that. Time to switch it up a bit... If it doesn't know my fighting style... Fighting invisible should give me a great advantage.

     Lachlan instinctively turns invisible, as does his dark counterpart, like expected. But... Strangely, Lachlan can still see DLachlan. And seeing how DLachlan summons a geyser directly where he is standing, he assumes DLachlan can see him too. But isn't it supposed to be invisible? Lachlan scowls and blasts a geyser at DLachlan, which DLachlan surprisingly has a bit of difficult dodging.
