BLACK MIST

A herd of Korean Nine tailed foxes dashed at Lily in their fox form.

Lily didn't want to hurt any of them since they weren't in their right minds...even if they actually killed people in their right minds.

She also couldn't battle Alex's mind control over the creatures so she turned into a Philippine eagle then flew into the air.

Two of the foxes followed till she blew down a hurricane like wind from her wings which blew all nine of the Nine tailed foxes away.

They tried to come back but Lily avoided them all and went for Lilith.

Lilith blasted a huge purple fireball at Lily but it spread around her as she blasted water through it.

Lilith dodged it then blasted lightning at Lily who returned with a Hydron Laser.

They both fell down, scalded and got up immediately they were healed then Lily swiped her arm behind her and the foxes were trapped in a literal electric fence.

The two identical clones looked into each others' eyes then Lily said,"Lilith, please, you don't have to do this, any of this, just let me help you."

"You don't understand what I felt!"Lilith yelled.

"Yes I do, the same guy, but different girl, just know that you could move on, just like I did."

Lily began slowly walking towards Lilith who turned her guard up.

Currents of water started circling her and one was blasted at Lily, who didn't make an attempt to dodge.

She was thrown into the air and fell on her back, with her spleen bleeding, but she didn't heal herself.

Lilith blasted her again, this time in the thigh and she fell on one knee as Lilith yelled for her to fight back and defend herself, but all she did was look into her eyes, then, all the memories of everything she'd done came flooding back.

She'd never thought of them before, but now...

She cried then ran into Lily's embrace, instantaneously healing all her wounds.

They hugged till Lilith was able to make an illusion in Lily's water vision to cover up her freeing the foxes.

One of the shot three of its tails at Lily's back as Lilith grinned...

Alex was on his knees, fighting the other Alex's psychic attacks, still probing his surroundings and keeping watch when several flashes flashed through his mind, on his love for his family and for Phyllis, then a sudden surge of warmth flowed through his body then he gave in and told the other he would let go, then freed everyone.

There was still a hint of persuasion from Lilith, but he was ready and protecting his own mind and everyone else's this time.

I got up from the ground and realized I was just hugging Indigo.

I yelled then jumped away from that annoying man but he seemed fine, or I couldn't tell, was that a smile or was he having a stroke? Because I would have really loved the second one.

I then yelled,"Why the heck were you touching me?!"

He chuckled then asked,"I thought you needed a hug, I needed one."

I frowned then turned to everyone...who were all laughing their heads off, then asked,"Who did this?! Who thought you could mix water with... that pudding over there?!"

Curtis then said,"You should have seen your face."

"Well I sensed it, and didn't like it and why are there two of all of you?"I asked.

Both Alexas, Curtiss and all other cloned individuals looked at each other then back at me and said,"We'll explain on the way."

"Now we have to help Lily."Alex said.

"Dahh!"I yelled,"What, you wanna give me a heart attack or something?! And why are there two of you too?!"

They looked at each other then back at me then said,"We'll explain on the way."

Then walked away.

I stood there with unanswered questions till someone familiar tapped my back then said,"Hello good-looking."

I looked at my double up and down then said,"Not so bad yourself, now let's go save my daughter."

"Actually it's my daughter who needs saving."He said.

"Same difference."

We already knew of Lilith's plan and came to see the shock on her face when all the foxes left and that her connection with Alex was broken.

Lily looked at her in shock then asked,"Why did you try to kill me."

Lilith had a deadly frown on her face as she said,"The same reason my heart was killed."

Lilith tried to destroy Lily from the inside but was blasted in the side by a strong wind.

Ahe regained her balance and was about to attack again when she was restricted and brought to her knees.

I hated doing this to my daughter and tears filled my eyes to see her suffer, but not for long.

She struggled till a thick, black, smoke like vapour burst from her and threw me backwards and I yelled as everywhere it touched me looked like it was burned by Ortho diethynylbenzene dianion, aka, the world's strongest base.

Lily tried to heal me but it a strong wind threw her into the air and slammed her, back first, into the ground.

A black, gaseous monster none of us had ever seen before enveloped Lilith as she stretched her arm, then all of us yelled in pain, simultaneously, including both Alexs, as our enlightened genes were literally being torn apart, bit by bit.

One of the Jessicas, who just arrived with the triplets, tried to stop her but ended up being caught as well, we were all yelling in the air as black smoke lifted off our decaying bodies.

Lilith's hand was shaking then a voice in her head yelled,"What are you waiting for? Finish them off!"

A tear escaped Lilith's eye as she pulled back her arm and all of us fell, instantly healing from her own power.

The voice yelled,"You fool! I could have given you everything you wanted! Power! Riches! Even a family, and your true love back."

All these thoughts were being manifested in the thick smoke covering her and she gripped her head tightly then screamed,"Enough!!!"

The vapour was blown away from her in an instant with only poison arrow vine flowers, relatively large snowflakes and quartz crystals floating in the air.

She then looked at all of us with tears pouring as she said,"I'm sorry."

Anneliese and I ran to embrace our daughter then kissed her while telling her everything will be fine, but then she gasped and asked,"Where's my brother?"
