The group landed just outside of the quaint little town. Razz's eyes had dried up from all of the wind, so he just sat there on the horse rubbing his eyes. He didn't think to get off the horse. Sage called the horse back into his bracelet, and with a gust of wind, Razz fell to the ground. Ow... The four people headed to the town. The sky was dark, and the stars were out. Razz looked up at the million lights, shining and burning too far away to grasp. The group entered a small inn. It was a cute little palce. They found their way to Delita's room and quietly snuck in. Razz watched as Neko crept up and tried to awake Delita. Still asleep, Delita groaned and turned around. Razz gently pushed Neko aside. Razz sat on the corner of delita's bed. WAAAKE UP!!!!!!! Razz pulled the pillow from underneath Delita and started beating him with it playfully. Delita,"Who? Wha? Huh?! Ow!"
Delita sat up straight and rubbed his eyes. Sage watched his comrade get up and stretch out his body.
"I'm glad we found you Delita." The windian stated and gave him a warm smile. Delita returned it.
"I'm glad you found the Wind Bracelet, I heard you fought long and hard up there." he said and picked up his stuff. Sage paused for a bit.
"Delita ho-"
"Lets go and get out of here, this place is boring. I found info on the third bracelet." he said happily cutting Sage off. The five friends left the inn and headed out of town. Right before they made it out of the towns gate Delita stopped Sage and pulled him to the side.
"Hey man, I have something for you." he said taking a few more steps back so the rest of the group wasn't in their line of vision. Sage looked around.
"You do? A relic perhapes?" he said looking down and adjusting his glove. When he looked up Delita had a set of black wings. He blasted Sage right in the chest and sent the windian back through a wall. He turned into a shadow-like creature and grew twice the size of Garoun.
The others saw Sage get hit and looked on. It wasn't Delita. Sage got up a bit stunned, really pissed, and ready to fight.
"Oh no, its a Doppleganger!" Romku shouted taking back Neko and Razz. The Doppleganger stepped forward and suddenly lunged at Sage at an amazing speed. As if like water, the shadow was flat on the ground still coming. Sage took a step back and blasted a fire spell at it but it slid to the side and kept coming. At the last moment, perhapes five feet infront of Sage, it bounded up in the air straight for his open mouth and they next thing that happened, the strong warrior of the wind bracelet fell to his knees. He lay motionless infront of everyone, some townspeople stopped to watch as well. His blue eyes had a dead look in them, and they thought it was over.
Suddenly the Windian twitched and his hand clasped against the dirt ground. He got up on his knees, his eyes closed. His legs trembeled as he got up, and then he stood tall. He turned his attention towards Neko, who had ran up to him. He smiled with icey blue eyes and suddenly shot out his hand, backhanding her across her gentle face. The others ran to her aid as he drew his sword, intent to kill his comrades.
Silent but his goals set, Sage turned his attention on.......Razz.
((=D Okies! Um Dopplegangers, I know, are really mere copys of someone or they can do that. But this is a special one! *makes it up* Where he only copies to get into another persons body. Now don't instantly free Sage okies? We need to kill some time before the third bracelet and so yeah. I'm sorry! I sound so bossy!))\n\n
No sooner than the words rolled off of Romku's tounge, Razz immediately turned around in Sage's direction. He saw Sage backhand Neko. Razz watched as Sage turned his attention on him. Razz could look into his eyes, Sage was there, but was trapped inside. This, of course, pissed Razz right off. The two stared each other straight in the eyes for a while and then Sage practically vanished. Whut thuh! BANG!! The doppleganger kicked Razz in the back oh his head causing Razz to fall painfully to the ground. Razz got up and gave Sage a fed-up look. Punk... Razz shot up into the air and came down with legs stretched behind him, waiting to be shot forward. Razz kicked, but he kicked nothing. The doppleganger dodged the blow with no efort. Razz's eyes narrowed. He punched the creature in the stomach, but then hesitated to do it again. He realized that this was Sage's body and he didn't want to kill his own friend. Razz backed off towards the group. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO! We can't kill Sage! Razz and the group looked quite a bit stressed about this. And what if it learns how to use the bracelet? Could it call the Pegasus? Would the Pegasus go against us if It did?!
DoppleSage continued to wreak havock on the two members that were fighting him. He blocked a kick from Razz and grabbed onto his leg, swinging the young fighter in a circular motion. His hands let go and he flung Razz into the second floor of a nearby shop, creating a nice sized hole in the wall.
He began a slow walk towards Neko, swinging his deadly blade nonchalantly, an evil grin plastered on his face. Suddenly Romku came out of nowhere and flying kicked him in the chest, sending him back a good 10 feet. He landed standing up and took a step forward, only to find himself being dropkicked from behind by Razz.
DoppleSage gave them all a frustrated look and as they regrouped infront of Neko, their old friend gave them a sly grin.
"Pheonix...." he simply said but somehow, this was a different version. Instead of him flying past them with the flames of the legendary bird on his heels, a copy of him came up. It looked like a shillouet oh him, and suddenly it commenced the move and zoomed past Romku and Razz, washing them over with searing flames. Once they were blasted back, DoppleSage began his short walk to victory. He would kill Neko, take the bracelet, then destroy the body, or perhapes he would keep it. But the bracelets would first seek out Garoun. He took another step forward.....
Neko ran up to the stunned Sage, lifting himself from the ground. He looked over at her, each stared at eachother silently. As Neko looked into the the calming eyes of Sage, she noticed something strange about the way he looked at her, but before she had the chance to back away from him, The possessed warrior lifted his hand and struck Neko across the face. Her heart skipped a beat as she collapsed onto her knees, shocked. Tears swelled in her eyes, her nose turned a red color and she gently felt her cheek. Everything seemed to pass so quickly around her as she sat there, the throbbing pain of the slap spread across her face, and she knew that Sage wasn't himself. This wasn't the friend she once had. Her eyes shifted at her wounded and tired companions as flames engulfed there bodies, although they did their best to defend themselves with their magic, leaving only minor burns on their skin. A shadow shaped over the area that Neko sat upon and as she looked up above her, there stood Dopplganger in Sage's body. In his hand was Sage's blade, he lifted it and broguht it down towards the almost defenseless Neko. Quickly Neko unsheathed her own and the two mighty blades clashed, Neko pushed the mighty warrior away.
" You're not Sage, you Coward! Hiding behind anothers body shows nothing but your fear! Why don't come out!" She yelled out, a tear escaped her eyes in frustration and ran down her pale cheek.
DoppleSage stumbled back a bit from Neko's block, but he wouldn't be stopped. He raised his sword above his head and tightened his grip. Just as he brought it down he cried out.
"No!" he shouted out, standing upright. He began to strugle with himself, and soon their were two voices yelling out. One was Sage's innocent, loving voice. The other was a deep voice filled with hatred.
"Get the f*** out you bastard!!!" Sage cried out, trying to stop the sword from going down on his closest friend. He strugled a bit more and suddenly let out a frustrated scream, throwing the sword away. He clenched his head and fell to his knees, trying to gain control over his body. He couldn't lose.
"Goddamnit leave me alone!!!!" He cried out, his body feeling like it was going to be torn to shreds. Suddenly the wind bracelet shined a holy light and he arched his back, screaming as loud as he could. A white flash emitted from the bracelet and once it died down, he saw Neko looking at him.
"N-neko....samaaaah..." he trailed off and landed on his knees, then, face first in the soft ground. His body ached, but he was finally free. He slipped away from this world and fell fast asleep, glad that he at least saved a loved one.
[OOC] Lmao, "One was Sage's innocent, loving voice" "Get the f*** out you bastard!!!" lmao, sorry, I just found that a bit funny. o.O[/OOC]
Razz gazed upon the body of Sage. He layed there on the ground, confused. He watched Sage battle himself and fall to his knees. He could see the change in Sage by his eyes, he could see the pain by his face. Razz could do nothing but stay where he lay and remain motionless. Not a single expression on his face, he just stared in Sage's direction. Soon, his vision trailed off, not to what he could see, but what he could think. It was strange, however, because Razz didn't know what to think. Soon after, he heard Sage's voice trail off to nothing. Razz quickly got up and rushed to Sage's passed out body. phew... Razz didn't know what to say at that time... but a smile crept onto his face. He patted Sage on his shoulder and stood up. That was... funky.
