Chapter 26: The Ripper

A day after..

"A most shocking news, one of the police officer's body was found hidden in a bush in the park some believe it to be suicide while others say he was murdered up to this point there have been no confirmations to what may had occurred." News reporter said.

"Who could done such a thing." Saya wondered as Dorothy suspiciously glared at Arthur "Hmmmmm?." she got closer to Arthur "What? I didn't do that okay how could you think of me like that?." He said "Well you did say "A lot has HAPPENED" maybe you were the one who killed him." Dorothy stated "Why do you think of me as a bad person." He felt depressed being accused by something he didn't do "You know I was just joking right." She said as she gives him a kiss on the forehead "I know, but it's just that your jokes sometimes feels like you really mean them." Arthur replied.

"Do they really?." She asked "Yess you do." Arthur replied in a way that made him look like a child who just stopped from giving a tantrum "He's not wrong there Master." Saya joined in the conversation "You too Saya!?!?." She reacted.

Somewhere in another factory..

"Boss!! it's her!!." a Guard yelled out. bullets were being fired, blood was on the walls, dripping from the ceiling, they were getting desperate at surviving and doing everything they can just to get out alive.

*Giggles "My My looks like a few ants are still here." She said as she tosses the head of a random Guard towards the survivors "Don't be afraid she's just a clone FIRE!!." Guard yelled as they all fired simultaneously, meanwhile Elisabeth blocked every bullet with her blade while firing killing one guard at a time "Impossible!! She's a monster!." Guard yelled out as the ceiling comes crashing down between them.

The survivors saw their other teammates impaled by poles, in halves, loosing a head or an arm, they were terrified to what they were seeing meanwhile on the other side "Tchh you just blocked the only way for me to enter the room." Elisabeth got frustrated at her clone "I'm sorry." she said "Don't worry, as a matter of fact go finish up the rest of those and make a path for me." Elisabeth commanded as she gives them a deranged smile, the clones went to other side "Here they comee!!!." Guard yelled out as the clones plunged towards them with an insane laughter.

"Now while they're at it." Elisabeth said as she throws her blade at the door and kills the incoming guard "I was just predicting. "I never expected one to actually come out." She laughed "My self, we are done." Her clone appeared kneeling behind her.

"Very good myself, I'll make sure to get some information on where that woman is." Elisabeth said to her clone.

As she entered the room the head scientist fired a shot and managed to hit her "I did it!." He was Happy to have killed her and lived as he finishes her off by shooting more times.

the body disappears out of thin air and he was getting nervous and was certain he killed her "Oh my, look what you've done to my other self I'll make sure to make you suffer." Elisabeth appeared behind the head scientist and slammed his head on the monitors, back and forth.

"Where is she!?." She yelled "I-I Don't know who you're talking about!." He replied begging for her to stop "Where is this woman!?." She showed a picture to the begging scientist who she's looking for "I saw her." He said and she grabs his hair "Ouch!!! But that was years agoo I don't know where she is now!!." He replied as he was catching his breath "What do you know about her?." Elisabeth asked "I don't know anything about her that much all I know is that her name is Sara Newman." He replied "Sara Newman?." She muttered to herself as she lets go of the scientist's hair and proceeded to head out of the room "Thanks for everything you've told me, have fun girls!." She leaves as she gives him a wink as all her clones popped out and tore the scientist apart limb from limb.

"Sara Newman, I swear I'll find you." She said to herself as the screams of the scientist gets louder and louder "Music to my ears." She thought to herself until it went silent.

At the dorm..

"Arthur, they're back and they're still using your window." Saya said in a lazy way "Are you out of batteries or something!?." He thought to himself as he heads to his room "Hey Arthur." Aiden yelled as he was stuck on the window "Get over here faster idiot!." Atalanta said as she pulls him inside the room.

A few minutes later the five of them were in the living room..

"So how's it been you two? is it tough out there?." Dorothy asked "Well a lot of criminals have been appearing lately thanks to the chaos that has happened but it seems we're still managing to hold out longer than we thought." She replied as she sips on her cup of water.

"Where's the other one?." Aiden asked "Oh you probably mean Carla, she lives at the other side of the dorm." Arthur replied "And here I actually thought they were your children." Aiden joked around as Saya hot water all over Aiden "OUUUCHHH!!!." Aiden screamed from the pain "Nice job!." Atalanta praised Saya for dousing hot water over Aiden, as everyone were laughing "Hey are you guys feeling alright? I've heard from your teacher that you four were also apart from that battle am I correct?." She asked in a concern way "Yes, we were." Dorothy and Arthur replied "Alright next time I don't want any of you to get involve with any hero stuff alright, you're still in high school you know." Atalanta said "We know, but when we checked and Carla wasn't in her room we went straight out to get her but then when we heard that villain said what he's done to you, me and Dorothy couldn't just accepted that so we fought as well." Arthur said "I appreciate it, but what you guys got into was something dangerous, what if one of you died that night. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if that happened." She said as the whole room was silent.

"We're sor--." They got interrupted "But you guys are the reason we managed to caught him, and we might've thought umm Carla would be here we. we would like to have a word with her." Atalanta said.

"Well we could go to her room if you want?." Arthur suggested "That's not a bad idea." Aiden replied "Aiden now listen her-." Atalanta said as the next thing they knew they all agreed to head towards Carla's room.

"I'm sorry you guys Sis is just a shy type of a person especially when the people around her know her, she becomes this bashful type person." Aiden said as Atalanta was really embarrassed and tries to hide her face.

*Knock *Knock *Knock "Carla! may we come in?." Arthur asked "My King? of course you can." She replied while doing something inside the room "Atalanta and Aiden are also here." He said "Tchh." he heard her reaction from outside the door "Why are you disappointed?." He thought to himself "Dorothy and Saya too." Arthur said "Tchhhh." she replied "Again why are you acting disappointed?." He thought to himself.

"You guys can come in." Carla said as she was cleaning her room "Excuse our entry." Aiden said as they all went inside her room.

"Sorry if it's still a little dirty, I've just started cleaning a few minutes right before you guys came so what's the occasion?." Carla said as she sat down "You don't have a roommate yet?." Arthur asked "No, not yet." Carla replied.

Atalanta and Aiden stood up from their seats and bowed their heads in front of Carla "We're so sorry for dragging you into our mess!." They both apologized "I-It's fine really, That guy was picking on the woman and I went to help her out of my own volition so you don't have to apologize about it." She said "But you got hurt pretty bad." Aiden said "Like I said it was of my own volition so you don't have to blame yourselves for my own consequences." Carla said as she gives them both a warm smile.

While Elisabeth was searching for information about Sara Newman in a Net cafe, she types in "Sara Newman." and articles keep popping up "Sara Newman discovers how to awaken the true powers of people." "Sara Newman creates a machine that can erase memories." Until she found a specific article stating "Scientist attacked Darkness group to save her friend."

She becomes frustrated and slowly crushes the mouse "Save!?." her mind was about to explode "Friend!? who does she think she is!." She said to herself.

*Flashback*

Elisabeth wakes up from her chamber and the first person she sees was Sara saying something, but because of the aftereffects from the chamber her senses, especially hearing was still not clear and she couldn't hear a thing.

Not later when soldiers arrived and started shooting her, Elisabeth fell on the cold floor as she was crawling for her life and saw Sara escaping through a vent and left her behind.

"Who was that person? who are these people!?." She thought to herself as she sees some of them killing the people in the chambers "Why are they killing them!?." She thought to herself as she was on the floor lying there "I don't want to die." She kept on repeating the same line of thought to herself over and over. As the lights goes out "Huh? I can't see a thing." She said to herself.

"Who's there!." Soldier yelled out "Hey! what are you doing over there!." Guard asked as he shoots another chamber "I felt something touching me!." He yelled out as he fires random bullets "Hey! watch where you're aiming!." Their Leader yelled as they were all starting to hear a teenage girls laughter all around the room.

"Did you kill everyone in the chamber!?." one of the guards panicked "No they're still a lot more from the other side!." the other guard replied as they heard screaming and gunshots from one of their men "Respond! Everything alright over there!." Guard asked "Where are those emergency lights!." Leader yelled out on the comm.

"Huh? what's this? who are these two helping me up? I still can't see a damn thing." Elisabeth thought to herself "Don't worry Me, we'll protect you." Elisabeth heard a feint voice coming from her right while she could hear a girl's laughter from her left "Who are you two?." She asked "We're your other selves." They both replied.

as the emergency red lights were on, they saw a few of their men stabbed and hanged in the wall as they heard the girl's laughter they looked in front of them and saw a lot of girls with their hair covering up their faces all maniacally smiling towards them.

"Shoot them!!." Leader yelled out while the two clones of her were doing the two person drag to get the original Elisabeth in a safe place as the battle occurs.

"They're me? I don't know what's going on, I don't know who I am." She thought to herself as she regains her memory of who she was and how she got there in the first place, she remembers the other Scientists tormenting her, experimenting on her and Sara Newman's face "Now I remember, that girl! that girl who was involve in hurting me appeared again in front of me earlier, I will kill her just as much as I will kill every single one of this fools for using me like some tool." She thought to herself as she was being carried away to safety.

A few of her clones were shot and melted into nothing while some killed the Guards by twisting their necks, tearing their limbs apart some clones even used their weapons to kill them in any way "No No pleas-." The Guard was shot through the mouth "Shoot her! Shoot that one!! She's the original!!." their Leader yelled out as the remaining soldiers aimed for Elisabeth.

"Put me down." She ordered as the other two let go of her "I see, I remember now I was always like this." She said as she smiles with murderous intent towards them while they were preparig to fire "I remember this tremendous power!." She thought to herself as a lot of her clones formed a wall protecting her from the bullets "Keep Firing!!." Their Leader yelled out as they could hear Elisabeth's laughter and kept on praying they'd actually end this nightmare and get out safely "How could I forget this extremely beautiful side of me." She thought to herself as Sara's face pops up in her head "Ahhh it must have been her doing, I really must kill her for this." She said out loud as she summons even more of her clones behind the soldiers.

"Sir!?." They yelled "They're behind us!!." Guard yelled "Don't stop just keep on firing! do a pincer maneuver!." Their Leader yelled "We can't!." Soldier replied before getting stabbed through the face "Protect our flanks!." Their Leader was getting anxious as by each second they're getting surrounded by the overwhelming clones.

"I'll find her! I'll ask her why she did this to me!." She said to herself "Can I have that other me?." Elisabeth asked "Sure thing Me." She replied as she gave her a dagger and a pistol, she then proceeds to bring down the clone wall and starts blocking every bullet fire with her dagger meanwhile killing off one guard at a time with her pistol until the soldiers ran out of bullets "Captain! we're surrounded!." Guard yelled "Alright Girls It's time to come out and play." Elisabeth said as she summons more of her clones and started to tear off the surviving soldier's arms and heads off.

"I will survive this no matter what!." Their Leader said as he draws out his pistol and kills a few clones "Oh? we have a fighter here girls, please be careful." She licks her lips as she witness his fight for survival "Come play with us old man!." Her clone said right before getting shot "This is no fun, I really want your heart old man!." She said as she gives him a murderous smile "You won't get out of here alive." He yelled towards her as all the other clones disappeared and he was alone in the room with the original Elisabeth.

In a blink of an eye Elisabeth disappeared and has grabbed his chest and crushed his heart "This is really pretty old man." She said as she pulls out her arm from his chest and looks at every corner of his heart while he was still barely clinging to life, his eyes were focused on his heart "Alright girls you can finish him off now." She throws his heart as the clones popped up from every corner of the room and tore up every part of his body.

As she was about to leave and wreck havoc she noticed a few chambers still unharmed "Girls try opening those chambers and we're out of here." She says as she leaves the room.

Some of the clones opened the chambers and helped the people within them to know what's going on, but as soon as they could regain their senses back the clones would disperse "Huh!? I'm gonna do what the hell I want!!." Tazer yelled as he shot a burst of electricity and busted down the door letting the surviving people escape the facility while some fought the remaining staff inside the building Elisabeth however was already outside watching the chaos unravel from a far.

"It's really a shame I won't be the one tearing it down." she said to herself as one of her clones appeared and gave her a map of every known facility they have "Thank you Me." She said as her clone dispersed "Why was she the first person I saw from waking up.. as a matter of fact why was I awaken? I guess I'll ask her myself when I see her." She thought to herself as she then proceeds to search for her by destroying every base or factory they had on the map.

One day Elisabeth was murdering every scientists in a certain factory One of her clones hugged one of them very tightly until their bones cracked "This is really going to get boring if I don't find anything about her anytime soon." Elisabeth said as she drags a dead person with her and notices the tv was on "WHOAHHH HE LOOKS REALLY CUTE!!." She reacted as she spots Arthur at the left side of the tv "I'm sure this boy here's the one who defeated that lightning freak maniac." the girl said holding a dead person "Right?." she said as she turns the dead body towards her "What do you know you're dead anyways." She throws the body.

"What is it other Me?." She asked "This is the place where that lightning maniac was born or where he was created." Her clone replied "He wasn't created there with us in the main facility?." Elisabeth asked "Apparently so, when they were done using him for other purposes they sent him straight away to the main one to study him." Her clone replied "Well it doesn't matter he's been captured anyways unlike us, right girls!." She asked as all of her clones agreed with her while playing around with the torn off limbs, some even peeled the enemies faces and wore them as masks.

She stares at Arthur's face once again "Hmmmm I don't know about this but he looks really delicious." She then licks her lips "I feel all weird over a sudden.. I'd like to meet him one day." She said.

*Ends of Flashback*

"I have to find her sooner or later if I want to know the truth." She said to herself as she leaves the net cafe and pays for her hour.
