Not What it Seems

Separated once again

More smoke came from Romario and headed for everyone. "MO-" I tried to warned everyone but I was too late, the smoke began to grab everyone and cover our whole bodies. It covered my face as I struggled and I lost sight of everyone else in the same situation. I slowly started to black out from the lack of oxygen. I woke with a jump as I got to my feet. I was in a classroom and I noticed the other kids that were in the corner had been killed. "So there really are only 16 pieces left....." I said to myself. As I looked around I noticed my spear was with me as well as my gloves. I tried my earpiece but there was just static. "Damn!" I said. I grabbed my spear and headed to the door. It was locked but I slashed it open with my spear. "I'm coming for you..... Yumi". Jano awoke in a dark room where he saw Bree, Ayumi, Maomi,and Kyoko smiling at him. As we ran to hug them he began to lose strength and get slower and slower until he collapsed. He saw as a black figure grabbed the girls one by one until all he heard was a high pitched scream. Jano curled up into a ball and tears began to run down his face "I'm so...sorry". Jano woke up by a crash. He wiped his face of tears and headed for the door. "I'll make you pay for what you've done..... Romario" he pulled out a lighter and a bottle of some sort and put the lighter in front of it. He clicked a button and the bottle sent fire flying to the door and on impact it busted open in a fierce combustion. Everyone slowly got up one after another through out the school. "They have awoken master" Sarah said. "Excellent.....I shall send out my pawns" Romario held his hand out and multiple smoke blasts came from his body until nothing was left except for his cape, his laugh still echoing from his throne. All the windows had been covered with blood so it was impossible to see outside. "Well they know where I am so I might as well break the glass and see what's outside" Joe said who had woke up one level below Jano's room. As he was about to swing the pound hammer a screech so irregular like a mix of nails on a chalk board and a baby screaming bloody murder pierced everyone's ears. This stopped Joe in his tracked and made him cover his ears from the screech. It could be heard all through out the school and was stopping everyone from moving. "What is that?" Jano thought. Just then a bunch of smoke missiles crashed through windows all around the school dashing all around like wild rockets. As the smoke kept flying round and round they began to hit each other and fall to the floor. Soon they all fell to the ground making the ground seem like it had a thick fog. Joe picked up his weapon and looked around but nothing was happening. "Was this just to scare us?" Jano thought to himself. The smoke seemed harmless until, without warning they formed together in one spot to form a body. When the body was formed the excess smoke formed around him like clouds. Jano stared hard into the smoke trying to work out a face "is that the lady?" He thought. The figure pushed the excess smoke away and Jano's eyes widened. "Your.........me!!!". "How did you know" the clone said smiling. Jano pulled out his lighter and fired a blast at the clone. The clone smiled and let the attack hit him. As the fire died out the smoke had spread out once again. "Is he......" Jano kept his guard up. The smoke dashed passed him and formed once again behind him. "Man that sure was hot" the clone joked. "This is going to be harder than I thought" Jano thought as they stared each other down. Down on the second floor Joe was facing a copy of him self as well. Joe couldn't hit his copy cause it was too fast. "Come on is that all you got!" The copy teased. Joe charge at him and threw his hammer. The copy dodged but Joe already had a punch ready and hit the copy. It broke into smoke but quickly formed again "you almost go m-!" Joe hadn't wasted time and grabbed his hammer while the copy reformed. Joe cracked a smile "now this is interesting". The copy had formed a copy of the hammer and blocked the hit. They both jumped back and charged at each other. They swinged and clashed making every bone in Joe's body shake. On the first floor in the 3rd wing Stormy was clashing with a copy of himself. He seemed to be even matched as they dashed around the room with nothing but blades clashing. "They're doing well, master Romario" Agaliarept said forming smoke in his hand. "Mind if I make things a bit more.....interesting".
