Chapter 3: Eerie Turquoise
-At the same moment, Mad Ray’s lab-
I will never understand scientists. Even in the worst of the situations, they are always trying to find out benefits in their own researches. Well, I can right now understand though. It’s not everyday that you meet your doppelganger who manages to catch a ghost, and only-Poseidon-knows-how breaks the 500-years-old curse you had and give you back the lively aspect you had a long time ago.
Yea, I must say I would act the same as a scientist in that very case.
But above all I hate needles so…
“Ray would you please hurry?” I muttered, clenching my teeth and my eyes closed to not look at the torture object in my left arm. I swear, I still today wonder how Kar’ didn’t find out that I’m fainting each time I see a needle, him using a lot of them when he uses his Shuriken Master. Maybe because I wasn’t looking at his hands when… Eeep, scratch that. No time for old phantasms.
Ray finally took the needle out of my arm –to my greatest pleasure-, and went to some weird scanner, injecting my blood into some compartment. He then looked at the computer, which was scrolling too fast for my taste, and nodded, a serious look engraved in his face. “I am formal, Skulley. The doppelganger you encountered seems to have interacted with your bone cells when you protected Jia from him.”
I cocked my head to the side. “What do you mean?”
“-Some of your osteocytes –or bone cells- had a backward reaction and came back to the state of stem cell. Those stem cells then differentiated to take the role of all the components of organism, like skin, blood vessels and so on. To make short, that made you alive once again. And my experiences are proving it.”
I chuckled silently. I seriously wanted to see Kar’s face when he will see that. Speaking of the devil (in all terms), I opened eyes, glaring împatiently at the computer. Ray nodded and turned also to the computer.
“-Blood contacted me. He still didn’t manage to find out whether Karan is ok. And it seems that a Diva is also inside his territory, which could complicate the equation if there’s the case of another doppelganger.”
“-I’ll go then. Warn the others.” Ray seemed a little surprised at first, but he quickly nodded. My reputation of sneaking up on Kar’ had surely made up to this laboratory. “I’ll stay in contact via our micro channel. Tell the others to not worry about me.” I took my dagger, which was on the table besides me, and took the way out of Ray’s lab, touching the tip of my hat.
Time for some action.
*************
A presence. Someone else besides this girl and I is here. And that, for sure wasn’t Skulley. Since I knew he was sneaking up on me since I installed my headquarters here in Ghost Blue…
I was faking resting at the moment, sort of lost in my memories, my ‘guest’ humming some old pirate song. If only she knew that this particular one was when pirates were going to be hung up…
But that wasn’t the most important right now. She and I had to be on our guard. Which she understood, because she got up quite quickly and stood in front of me (was she still thinking I was sleeping?)
“-Who’s there?” she said drawing out her sword and getting in a fighting stance. I got up as well, sensing something abnormal, and drew out my guns. Some low and deep laugh resonated then through the whole room. The brat then turned to me, a deadly serious on her face. She didn’t seem that surprised that I was faking rest either. This wasn’t a good sign.
“-Put your hand on my shoulder, please.” I obeyed, wondering why or what she wanted to do. But once I did, the whole colour of the room went upside down, like the negative of a film. No time to wonder in amazement how she did that though, because the origin of the chuckle was now clearly seen, looking like a white ghost in this black world. And I was taken aback.
This shadow… Looked exactly like me.
Except for the eyes, entirely covered in black.
“-My, my, my. I didn’t know that the mighty Pirate King Karan had to hire some more guarding dogs to protect his pitiful person.” I frowned, and the brat made a ‘dude-go-fk-yourself’ face. Which was pretty much hideous on that cute face, but well.
“-Aye. This is gonna sound weird to ask, but who the heck are you?” I said crossing my arms. The shadow smirked.
“-Jeez, you seriously need to buy glasses. I am you. Or rather say, I am your Shadow. The very one who followed you since your birth. And now, I am here to get rid of your bond to me. This means I got to kill you to be free”.
Ok. What the bloody hell was going on?
The brat in front of me began to buff herself. I had a seriously bad feeling about it. She explained me: “Since a few days, the shadow part of the island has been trying to ally with the monsters inside the Chaos Towers and take over the Caballa Island. Us Tricksters have been trying to control that problem, but now that they saw that they can’t defeat us, they’re trying to get rid of the important people of each city. Bosses included. They already tried to attack Captain Skull a few hours ago, which ended up in La Vida disappearing.” Which explains why I had a bad feeling.
Skull is so dead for having let that doppelganger take her away.
“You won’t be able to get him, Shadow. You already failed once, defeated by Captain Skull, and we will not allow you to make your goal coming true.”
“-That piece is now worthless to us. You want to protect Karan? That’s what we will see, missy.” The shadow answered, then charged at us.
The rest went too fast. Or too slow. The brat aimed her cards to strike at my shadow’s head, while I was preparing my shurikens to throw them in the direction of his heart (or mine, I was still lost on that). But he stopped at like 5 meters of us, without us doing anything, the face stricken. He looked down to his chest to see the reason why and gulped loudly.
“Next time you say I’m useless to your plans, try to not be in the same place as I am.”
“- Hihihi…” he laughed quietly. “So you’ve finally come. I expected that you would help your dear Kar’ out after my attack on you.” Wait a sec. Only one person calls me like this…
“-Skulley?” The brat looked between me and Skulley, still hid by the shadow.
Skulley took out his dagger off the shadow’s chest, making it yelp in a last breath before disappearing away, making him visible to our sight once again. We then stared at each other for an eternity –or 30 seconds, from what the brat told us later- and then I said, a little shocked:
“-Wasn’t aware yet that you had some esthetical chirurgic operation, bro.”
