THE BATTLE AND THE WAR

Nicky was in her chambers, watching her pet iguanodon-falcon devour a herd of rabbits when she suddenly felt pity for the small animals and guilty for what she was doing.

She shook it off, she knew they deserved it.

' But why? Because they can't do amazing things with their small, adorawuble, fluffable bodies? ' She thought.

' No! It's because they're below you! They can't even... '

' Shut up. ' A new voice said.

The second voice was immediately silenced and the glow in Nicky's eyes dimmed, then she saw the hybrid creature literally tearing the medium sized rodents to shreds then she gasped and reversed time so the creature vomited all the rabbits out and she grabbed them and hugged them tightly.

She then remembered everything then looked back to see...

"Jessica?"She called.

"Yup."

"W-what happened?"She asked.

Jessica looked down to her feet as she stretched her arm.

At that moment, all the memories of everything she had done to innocent and defenceless people and animals came back to her then she screamed and fell on her knees then looked at her cousin with tears, as she said,"We have to leave."

"Your majesty..."Alex said,"...I am unable to recapture the minds of those that have been...set free."

With a nonchalant flick of her wrist, Lilith said,"Kill them, kill them all, but bring your double to me."

He bowed then vanished.

Micky and Ricky were running through the hallway with Jessica...the one from the other reality, when there was an explosion right next to them.

They came out unscaled due to the presence of their lights, but gasped when they came out of the dust to see lightning blue eyes, which belonged to Alex...

Lily walked into the throne room then yelled,"I know you're in here! It doesn't have to be this way! You can still change."

She then sensed the dust particles and water molecules in the air behind her get disturbed, then she back flipped several feet into the air right before five giant diamond shaped crystals of ice VII broke through the floor.

She landed then saw Lilith, they looked exactly alike to the extent they both got a little self conscious and defensive well, except for the clothes and the hair.

Lilith then said,"There's only room for one empress in my empire."

Lily then said,"And I don't want to challenge you, I just want to help you."

With a scoff, Lilith asked,"Help me with what? My manicures?"

"Help you to change, it's not too late."

Little drops of water and stones started circulating around Lilith's arm as she looked at Lily then said,"I've already changed..."

Ricky used a forcefield of a cushion of highly pressurised air to block a liquid knife Alex swiped at him, and at the same time, Micky had to dodge and deflect several, tentacle like currents of water from the Multi Jet Alex used against him.

The forcefield burst and Ricky was thrown backwards but his brother caught him then raised his arm as the jets of water had combined and had blasted down at them.

Alex was barely moving a finger in all this, but Micky's energy was being drained quickly.

Ricky also lifted both his arms and a cushion of air formed to back up the repulsive force Micky was inducing on the water, but even then, the white jet of water about the thickness of an oak tree stem, was squeezing their defenses.

The water splashing from the forcefield and the clashing of the opposite currents was quickly eroding grass, sand, rock and even tree barks several meters from the site.

Micky was exhausted and his knees were wobbling, but he couldn't let his brother die.

Ricky begged him not to give up, but even though he didn't want to, his arms were thrown backwards from the force of the water he was repelling so hard the bones snapped and he screamed then fell.

Ricky yelled his name as he was pushed on one knee, then glowing white tears started filling up his glowing eyes then he struggled to his feet and pushed harder and the bubble slowly grew in diameter, him still protecting his injured brother and cousin.

Alex tilted his head at the boy's effort so thought to help him, then pushed his finger down and the water crushed the forcefield and everything in it, even the bed rock about ten meters below the surface.

Jessica walked towards her clone and healed her and in an instant, the two Jessica's were looking at each other, then went to heal the others.

When Ricky looked around to see he was in the safest place possible, he frowned at his sister then asked,"Why didn't you help us earlier?!"

"Jessie said not to."She said.

He frowned till he realized there were two Jessicas.

The one who was with them used her mineral light to close his agape jaw then said,"I'm your cousin, but not from this universe and the thing is, we needed Alex to think you were dead so you'd no longer be a target."

The other Jessica then asked,"What about grandma? And Aunt Alexa and Uncle Curtis?"

"They are under Alex's protection."She said.

The triplets tilted their heads then the other Jessica said,"The non- brainwashed one."

"Oooh..."They all said.

"That makes sense."Micky said,"Which one of you is the good twin again?"

Curtis stood before Indigo and myself, then moved his fingers, then took a step forward, so did Indigo and I.

He then started walking towards us and Indigo flew towards him while I started running then Curtis vanished and appeared above the two of us and blasted us both with wind, of course it was a cheap shot.

He flipped then landed right next to Alexa and spun her by the waist then said to Alex,"You take care of them and I'll take care of her."

She looked away while saying shyly,"Curtis...not here."

He chuckled then swiped her between his arms and kissed her on her lips.

I was surprised to see Alex... again.

I sensed him, not far off, but saw him about ten meters from me...was my water vision broken or something?

Indigo seemed just as surprised as myself so I knew that I wasn't dreaming.

I heard a voice in my head say,"Kill him."

Before I could move, I got a splitting headache, literally splitting, like there was a conflict in my brain, a messy one.

I yelled in pain and so did Indigo but Alexa asked,"Do you really have to hurt them?"

Alex said with a lot of strain in his voice,"That guy's just as good as I am, now stop pushing me!"

The other Alexa placed her hand on her shoulder then said,"They'd be mostly fine... Curtis, we'll need your help."
