Tidbit # 11

"Joey!" I hear a female voice call from above. I'm sitting alone in an open field, enjoying the view of the night sky. I look over to a bright light that I thought was a star at first. It grows brighter then fades away to reveal the form of a winged human. "Lilica! Good to see you!" I call. I stand up. "What was that?" I ask. She lands and her wings fold into her back. "It doesn't matter. I have amazing news for you, Jack, and Tyrone!" She's ecstatic. "What is it?" I ask. Her excitement is contagious. "You've received an amazing gift. A gift from the heavens. He sent for me so I could personally give it to you." She explains. "Really? What is it?" I ask again. "It's gonna take a bit of effort on both of our parts. I need you to stand perfectly straight and still for me." She says. I nod and stand as still as I can. She starts chanting in another language. I recognize it as the language of the angels, but I don't understand it. She waves her arms and starts glowing a holy glow. Her wings sprout out again and radiate a pure aura. They flap and she rises into the air, circling around me. Her chanting increases in volume and intensity, her black hair lifts up and swirls around her head. A golden halo appears above her, glowing bright. Her eyes open and they are pure white. A strike of lightning falls from the heavens, striking the ground right next to me. For some reason I don't fear, and don't flinch. It lights a holy flame next to me that's starts growing. The the same time holy water starts rising out of the ground. It freezes as it grows into a humanoid shape. The fire does the same, growing taller and making a vaguely humanoid shape. Suddenly the crude ice sculpture transforms into an exactly clone of me, as does the fire. The only difference is that they each have both arms as opposed to my bionic one. I sense that they are alive and functional, but at the same time empty and soulless. Lilica shouts a final phrase and the two clones converge on me, fusing into me seamlessly. Lilica falls to the ground, breathless. I rush over and catch her, cradling her exhausted body in my arms. "What did you do? Who were those clones?" I ask. She doesn't answer for a moment, just catches her breath. Finally she stands up and I stand with her. "Jack and Tyrone know what to do." She says, vaguely. She stands back. Guys? She's right. I'm filled with the exact knowledge I need. Tyrone thinks. This is amazing! I feel so powerful! Jack agrees. A very strange feeling overtakes me, and suddenly I'm staring at two clones of myself in front of me. Their eyes are closed. I notice it at the same time the eyes open: It's just me in here. The clones open their eyes. One pair is red, and the other is a light blue. No pupils, no whites, just red, and just blue. Not vampire red, though. Nor Serena's red. A deep, exiting blood red. "Well?" Lilica asks. "How do they feel?" "I feel... I feel amazing!" Jack jumps in the air. Tyrone doesn't say anything. He stares at his hands. He falls to his knees, a single shining tear leaking from his eye. "Thank you." He whispers. "What- what is this!?" I cry. "You can't tell?" Lilica asks. "He gifted them bodies. Almost real bodies for them to be in. They can't last for too long outside of you, maybe a few hours max. But the bodies are theirs and only theirs to control." She explains. "They can come out at will, and do anything they want. They have to fuse with you again after a while, though, or they'll loose their connection with you and die." She warns. Jack and Tyrone listen intently, and nod affirmatively. She smiles. "I'll leave you to enjoy your new bodies." She says. She flies off into the night. "Is... is it really true?" I ask. I hesitantly reach forward and press my hand against Jack's chest. I take my other and lie it again Tyrone's. They're real. Living, breathing bodies. I cry out suddenly, and rush forward. I wrap one arm around each of them. They both hug me back. "You guys... you're.." I stutter. "We know." Tyrone says. "It's amazing." Jack agrees. "I can't believe this. I'm so happy for you guys." I say. They both smile. "Now we can really protect you!" Jack laughs. "We'll face our enemies..." Tyrone starts. They both fuse back into me and we finish at the same time. "Together."
