This wasn't right. Soemthing was wrong. With my friends, with me. that light, whatever it was, was a focal point. Focusing on us.
"Master..."
"You possess the power to stop this, my friend. Use it."
"RAIDEN!" I screamed, holding my Saber high in the air. Lightening struck the light, shattering it like glass. At the same moment, the shadow that had been following me since Joshua had left became visible.
"Shadow demon. And it all makes sense," I brought the Saber in front of me. "Show time."
((Record, i didn't use the lightening. Master Wong (Raiden) used me, and my Saber, as a focal point, much like the light on the moon. I don't possess that kind of power))

Everything was dark. It was as if i were conscious, only i couldn't see out of, or control, my body... But it was more than that, as if i was within my own mind. I shook my head,
"Screw this." I murmured, attempting to find a way out. Then i froze, there was something here with me.
Then all of a sudden, there was a distant yell, and thunderous roar, and the darkness was shattered, my oponent now visible. A shadow demon... in my head?
"Get the hell outta my head." I told it. It snarled, and i rolled my eyes, "K then, i guess i'll have to kick your ass out through my nostrils."
Now it just looked confused. So i just got the hell on and attacked it.

"Evil," I answered Nicki's question. "Corruption, foulness, everything that hides away in the darkness and hates the light because of it. Of course, that's the philisophical answer. The simple answer, a big dark cloud which is trying to turn you and your Wolf half evil and then use you to do . . ." I gestured around the dreamscape, "...this."
When I heard a growl behind me, and looked back to see what it was, I suddenly revised my theory. "On the other hand, the shadow may just be trying to corrupt and turn *you* evil and let the wolf run free."
It was like seeing a vampire version of Nicki, only it was not a vampire or any kind of demon. Her eyes had turned yellow, and her skin had turned dangerously pale, and her face became covered in shadows, even when cast upon by light
And then, all of a sudden, there was a burst of light, and then an explosion blasted the shadow-Nicki away.
Before I could comment on that, a more powerful looking version of Nicki's werewolf shape leaped down off one of the buildings, and then on the other side of the street, another Nicki, dressed very much similar to my own clothing, jumped down and joined the werewolf at my rear.
'Oh yeah, I forgot,' I thought to myself, 'Nicki used to have three personalities. Her human side, her witch side, and her werewolf side.'

I pummelled the demon, kicking, punching... pretty much just having fun and waiting (hoping) for someone outside to sort out the thing's solid form. Until then, i'd just have to batter it's non-solid form.

"Alright, not sure why you decided to follow me in physical mode, mate, but that was a mistake," I said, Saber out and ready. "Y'see, if you'd attacked mentally, like I'm pretty sure you've done to everyone else, you might have had me. Physically," lightening danced around me as i summoned my full power forward, "you don't have a chance," I rose the sword above my head, then pointed it down. "You never stood a chance!" I plunged the blade into the ground and watched as wave after wave of soul energy tore through the demon, ultimately destroying it. As I walked away, I remembered a line from a movie that seemed appropriate.
"Some motherf*ckers always try to iceskate up hill."

I felt incomplete as I watched the clone of myself walk towards me, stopping when she was in front of me and combing her fingers through my hair
'You are no longer a wolf. You no longer have magic in your body. You are Nicola'
I looked at Jay in a panic. I didn't understand what was going on as I noticed my hair. It was long and mousey brown, no longer dyed with a twisted glamour spell I had found. I felt weak and useless, just a teenager
'Jay... I don't understand! What's going on? Why am I here and there and... I want this evil to go'

"Well, OK then," I said to 'Nicola's plea, "All in favor of expelling the evil, whether demon, spell, or astral influence out of Nicki's, aka *YOUR* body, raise your hands . . . and, er, paws in the air."
With a chuff, the werewolf raised her paw above her head. With a confident smirk, the witch raised her hand and then gave me a really disturbing look with her eyes. Like she was checking me out.
I raised my hand, and then we all looked at Nicola, who I kind of still thought of as shadow-Nicki.

I raised my hand
'I would very much like to be an evil free zone now'

"Cool, so now we--" I started to say, but was rudely interrupted when the dreamscape began to shake like a 10 on the Richter scale earthquake began to shake things up.
When if finally settled, the Nickis and I were bunched up together, and the street was nothing more than a torn down wasteland that went forever in all direction forever with the strange sky overhead marking the horizon at the edges.
However, we were not alone. Even as we watched, the shadows that I had seen trickling into Nicki from outside were pooling down to one point, directly in front of us. Nicola was looking more human I noted as several shadows were pulled away from her and joined the man standing there, holding his arms up and welcoming the shadows.
"OK, new plan," I said hurriedly, "Kill him and don't let him kill you. Chances are, since this is your mind you can't die, but again that goes back to the whole 'can you die from a dream' that I don't really want to go into right now. So, for right now, kick ass and don't worry about his name."
With that, three out of the four of us surged forward, intent on our target.

The first thing I noticed as I raced in was Maya having an obvious internal struggle.
"I don't know what you kids would do without me," I muttered, placing the flat of my still glowing blade on her shoulder. A dark shadow detached itself from her and fell to the ground. "And I repeat for those too dumb to liste; some motherf*ckers always try to iceskate up hill. Di you really think you could nab Maya that way?"

My eyes came open, and i pouted up at Doc,
"Hey, i was having fun." I said. He grinned, shaking his head, and raised his sword. "Nu-uh." I said, stopping him, "This bugger's mine."

Meanwhile, the three Nickis and I were pounding away at a barrier that this *thing* had conjured around him just as we attacked him. Maybe this would require some thought after all, I figured as I took a metaphorical breather.

"I think Nicks and Josh might need a hand though." I told Doc as i leapt up and delivered a snap kick to the shadow demon's face.

I desperately tried to keep fighting but I began to feel my power draining as I became weaker and weaker in human form. I looked to Jay for help
'Help needed'
((So I'm outta commision for a coupla days, keep me in the story and generally round the board though! Miss ya))

"Hello do I know you?" I askeda shadow form of myself, the shadow form said nothing, "Okay then. Now you guys have to learn two things," I said as I sent him flying, "First, I am the original, you can't beat the original, and second, you may be tough but you'll never be half the man your mamma was." The demon collapsed on the ground, "Told Ya!"
