Glowering at Mai, I looked over at Aredhel at her comment. "Uh, Del, right?"
"Aredhel to you sugar," she said in a brisque southern accent, no doubt to make fun of me and toy with my mind.
"Aren't you, in past and in part, evil yourself? So . . . technically by the laws of Balance, there probably won't be an exact double of you since to be your opposite, she would have had to have been good when you were evil and so on... you could probably talk her around."
"Ow."
Glowering at Mai I snapped, "Would you stop doing that!!"

(((Come on... how long does it take for you people to call for someone and walk through a portal? I've only got a week left!)))

(((Ok, lets continue this.)))
I felt psychic energy as Maya telepathically called for Ate, who appeared there in a matter of seconds.
"Hi, what's the trouble?" She asked.

"Cliff's notes? Netherworld, evil demon, copies of us, wants to fight you. Can we go now?"
I was getting impatient. Waiting for a fight was far worse than any fight itself. All we could do now was wonder if we'd get out alive, wonder how we'd fight ourselves, wonder if Ate would win. But in battle, there is no wondering. You can think of nothing else but the fight, and it is a blissful emptiness in your mind. At least, that's how I felt in battle. This waiting game was not for me.

(((Ok then, even if the rest of you arn't ready, I'm going to get this started...)))
I got tired of waiting, so I decided to walk into the portal that lay just ahead of us... when I got inside, I saw the rugged terrain of the Netherworld, and no Tyrial... but what I DID see were replicas of each and every one of us.
They seemed to be dead though, frozen in time... that is until I walked in... my replica awoke, and looked at me with hatred in his eyes...

I appeared next to Zeroc and saw a replica of me appear. It swung at me and missed, I looked at Zeroc, "Can I hurt it?"
Sure,"
"WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!"

(((TPot, the replica has the EXACT same skill level as you, the same magic power... same EVERYTHING, so you wont be able to just defeat it THAT easily... ok?)))

The rest of us walked in after Zeroc, including Ate.
When we got in, we saw replicas of ourselves come to life and face his or her designated opponent.

I looked the replica up and down. She was just like me... only her hair was the deep red mine went when i slipped, and her eyes were opaque black.
"Wiggy." I murmured. The two me's circled each other,each waiting for the other to make the first move, each moving with practised fluidity, ready to move in any direction. "So you're evil me then?" I asked conversationally. She laughed.
"I am merely the darkness that is within you every day." She replied. "And that, you see, is why you will not- cannot- defeat me."
"I bet i could surprise ya." I snapped back.
"Let's see." She said with a nasty smile, and raised a hand, sending waves of pure energy into my body, and causing me to writh in pain. I bit down hard, trying to block out the pain as i sent a mental barrage her way, smashing through mental barriers like a wrecking ball.
"Take that, b*tch." I gasped.

Two black panthers were circling each other. She could have been my reflection. We were identical in looks and wounds, scratch for scratch, bite for bite. "Hell this is bad."

"Oh you have GOT TO BE SHITTING ME!!" I shouted as I stared at the lone figure standing against me. Kind of reminds me of my last time through the Labyrinth in the bottom of the Training Center, but that's a whole other story.
Because standing across from me was my Astral form given body.
<Fight me> I heard in my mind, but it was not my voice, and it was most certainly not Mai.
Frowning, I readied my weapons and stared hard back at her. Then I sent using my own limited telepathic skills, <Why? Who, and what are you, and what demands that I fight you? Answer me that, and I will fight you.>
She grinned, and then perfectly mirrored my stance and movements, even my expression, perfectly. Except for my opponent being a *HER* that is!
<To discover the truth. Are you worthy?>
Suddenly I realized what this was. Not for all of us, but just for me, specifically. My face hardened and I then dropped all of my weapons. For this... I wouldn't be needing them.
Because I wasn't fighting myself. I was fighting the Slayer inside me, for the right to keep her power for myself.
Damn, I really shouldn't have eaten those extra chilli-dogs before I left this evening...

I just looked at her; she returned my gaze. Neither one of us was truly evil, just as neither one of us was truly good. We were both fighting for a cause, but that cause changed as frequently as the winds. It was odd.
[So, we gonna start this?"] I asked conversationally in her mind.
[Unless we're just going to talk all day,] she replied, shrugging.
I smirked, remembering what Josh had said about 'talking her around.'
[So, if I said we didn't have to fight, would you listen to me?]
[No]
[Alright then. Nice talking to you]
[Back at you]
We both threw the first punch, our fists meeting at the exact same place in the air. Both of us smiled. Another punch, with the same results. Again, we smiled. My eveil twin picked up her bow, and I, my sword. Things were about to get very interesting.

I looked around at the chaos that was happening below to where I was floating.
[glow=red,2,300]"Take a look around, Ate, look at your confused friends! They have no reason to fight! But they know, for some reason that they must! There are no winners or loosers in this battle! The only things that they will be destroying are a part of themselves! Me, on the other hand, I have a desire, and a purpose to fight and destroy you! You have a magnificant amount of power, but you are unable to control it! I simply want your power! That is why I fight you!"[/glow] I told Ate, while preparing for battle.
[glow=red,2,300]"Make your move..."[/glow] I demanded.
