Chapter 29: A girl in a small world

"I have been looking forever for you Dr. Sara Newman." Elizabeth gives Sara a crazy smile as she pulls her hair "Where have you been all this time huh? do you know that I've been destroying these pathetic bases for months searching for you!." She said "Let her goo!!." Dorothy yelled.

"Tchh." Elizabeth lets go of Sara's hair and walks towards Dorothy caressing her face saying "You must be Arthur's little girlfriend, such a cute little face."

"You know Arthur?." Dorothy asked "Ofcourse I do, why would I be mentioning his name if I didn't, take her to the other room Me." Elizabeth commanded "Yes Other me." her clone responded as she led Dorothy into an empty room.

Meanwhile Arthur, Carla and Saya were in different rooms being held by Elizabeth's clones "How could you do this Elizabeth." Arthur said "You wouldn't understand my dear Arthur." She replied "Did you always had this power?." He asked while she was being silent and hesitant to reply.

"Answe-." He got interrupted "I wasn't like this you know, but you don't have to know about it." She replied as she was slowly loosing her grip "I know how you feel about me though." He said as her clone was shaken from his words "I-I don't know what you're talking about." She replied.

"I know for a fact that you're not a bad person Elizabeth." He said "I'm not as real as her alright, I'm just her copy from her main emotion." She was strengthening her grip as she was about to shed a tear "I'm not real, but these feelings for you are." She said.

"You're wrong, you just got mad now didn't you?." Arthur said "What's your point." She asked "You're maybe her clone but you are different, you got mad, you confessed your feelings to me, you even felt surprised seeing me when you first captured me." He pointed out while she was slowly loosing her grip again "What are you trying to do here?." She asked "I'm trying to point out you're not like her other clones, you're the other side of Elizabeth before she became like this aren't you?." Arthur said.

She was getting nervous, her body feeling heavy, her heart beating faster and faster as he slowly figures out her identity "You know as I saw the other two get a hold of Saya and Carla they seemed more out of control, wild and filled with malice, I never got that from you." He said as she lets go of her grip but was still holding both Arthur's arms.

"Yours were more gentle, the look in your eyes saying "Why are you here?.", I know for a fact that you're not a bad girl Elizabeth." Arthur said as he faces her "You don't know anything about me." she said "I know you're not a bad girl, so please help me and my friends escape from here." He begged "I-I can't do that." she said "I want you to trust your feelings about this what's the right thing to do, do you really want her to keep going through all this pain and madness." Arthur said as she finally lets go of his arms.

Meanwhile Elizabeth was in the room with Sara..

"I want you to answer my questions Doctor." She then slaps Sara "What do you know about me?." She asked *coughs "Let me help you remember." She said as she flicks her head and all of her memories before she became a person who adores killing people came back..

*Past*

She was still a child back then and saw both her parents smiling at her, coming home from a long day from school to show them her good scores from their exams, enjoying joyrides together, Her Mother being pregnant, and the child's gender was known as a girl.

until one night Elizabeth just got up from bed and decided to head towards her parent's room.

She opens the door and says "Mom? Dad? I had a nightmare I saw yo-." She sees blood all over the bed and the floor "Mom? Dad?." Sees both of their bodies on the floor.

She then rushes towards them "Mommy! Daddy! why aren't you waking up?." she pushed them back and forth hoping they would wake up as someone closed the door behind her.

"A little girl's here?." She turns around and got punched towards the bed "I'm going to enjoy this." The Intruder said as slowly removes his pants "Stay away from me! Stay away!!." She yelled as she hid herself in the blanket "Don't worry little girl I'm going to make sure you're going to enjoy this." He said as he pulls the blanket off of her, something in her mind snapped and she was laughing "Huh?." the intruder reacted.

Laughing and Laughing until she said "GO DIEEEE!!!!!!." and a few of her clones popped out and started attacking the intruder with their blades "What in the hell!?." the intruder lashes out as he tries to escape the room meanwhile Elizabeth was staring at the intruder fight for his life and smiled at the scene.

"Screw this!." He said as he tries to go outside through the door "and where do you think you're going?." Elizabeth asked as one of her clones blocked the door and licks her blade, scared with nowhere to go he decides to take out Elizabeth and rushes straight toward her "Stay still." She muttered as all of her clones grabbed every part of the intruder's body immobilizing him.

Elizabeth laughs maniacally as she stabs the intruder in his arms and legs one by one the intruder screams from the excruciating pain he felt as he experiences being stabbed in both his arms and legs while hearing Elizabeth's broken laughter.

"Done already? No no I don't want to end this yet you ended my parent's life pretty quick I'll thank you for that but for not killing me I'll make sure you die a slow and painful death." Elizabeth said as she then scratches him with her nails over and over again.

A few hours later and all her clones dispersed while the Intruder was already dead, she was sitting on the couch while staring at the dead body as her eyes were dead, her soul was gone she was basically lifeless but when the police found her in the morning.

"What are we going to do with her?." Police asked "We might take her to an orphanage." Police Officer suggested as a woman went towards them "We'll take the kid with us." She showed her badge to the policemen.

"Hello little girl, you wanna come with me?." Elizabeth's lifeless eyes stared into the woman in front of her and the next thing she knew she was already in a bed.

She got up and the woman entered the room "Looks like you're finally awake, my name's Dr. Sara Newman. and I'm here to take care of you for the time being." She introduced herself as Elizabeth was staring at the floor "May I ask your name?." Sara asked "Eli.."

"Elizabeth." She replied in a soft voice "Nice to meet you Elizabeth, I hope we get along in the time we'll be spending together." She said as she gives her a head pat.

*Back to the present*

"WH-What did you do!?." Elizabeth exclaimed as she smashes the computers "I gave you what was rightfully yours, but I hope you understand now." Dr. Sara replied.

"Understand what?." She asked "It was I who erased your memories, but that was because your mind was slowly getting eaten by the same power you possess." She said.

"I don't understand." Elizabeth was starting to get confused "The power that you kept on using now was very lethal to you when you were small, it was slowly eating away your brain because of your state at the time so I decided to erase those memories of you experiencing those horrible moments you had and promised to give you new ones but the organization had other plans for you."

"With your memories erased they took advantage of that and used you as their guinea pig, they tortured you, trained you and even made you kill thousands of innocent people, that's why I went underground and searched for a way to save you and at the same time make sure your power doesn't eat away your brain. and once I was done with that I asked help from heroes in the city willing to help me." She explained everything "Then why wasn't there any heroes when you first released me in the chambers!?." She asked "Because we were led into a trap, the factory we thought you'd be in was rigged to self destruct upon entering and because of that many heroes were injured."

Elizabeth was silent as she was listening to Sara's side of things "The heroes who helped me to come to save you have all been injured because of my actions so I took it upon myself to go and find you myself, and when I did I gave you back your memories, but because the transfer wasn't complete that's why you barely remember anything from your past and once the soldiers came I had to activate your chamber so they won't have you."

*Flashback*

"The Code worked, she has a separate conscience now but I'll find a way to cure the other conscience too from that virus and ensure they both live." Sara thought to herself as she opens Elizabeth's chamber..

"Elizabeth! Elizabeth! It's me Sara Newman! listen we don't have much time I need you to use your power to rescue these other children so the organization won't have them!." Soldiers then appeared behind her and started shooting Sara had to run towards the vent "Come and find me Elizabeth!." Sara said before she went inside the vent and escaped.

*End of Flashback*

"I never realized you'd become like this." Sara said as she looks at Elizabeth covered in blood "You need to call back all of your clones now." Sara said "Why?." Elizabeth asked "There's one particular clone of yours that's been enduring the pain all these years now and has all your emotions before you had that accident and if it isn't cured at a month or so she may perish." Sara said as she tries to get up as Elizabeth pushes Sara down and blocks the Assassin's strike.

"That emblem, it's one of the darkness organization Assassins!." Sara yelled out as Elizabeth blocked every strike the Assassin made.

Meanwhile..

"What is it other me?." clone asked "Me has asked us to come to her aid right away." She said as the other clones left the room she then entered the room and untied Sara and Carla "What's the meaning of this?." Carla asked "I'm helping you, now let's go." She said as Arthur was waiting outside the door "My King?." Carla reacted "I'll explain later let's get Dorothy and the doctor fast." Arthur said as they ran.

"Other me?." clone guarding Dorothy asks "There has been an intruder we need everyone we can get." clone said "I'm on my way other me." She replies as she ties Dorothy to a pole and left the room.

"Geez what's going on!?." She said to herself as she tries to untie herself and fails.

another clone then enters the room and unties it for her "What are you playing at here." Dorothy asks "I'm just here to help." She replies as they then head towards Dr. Sara's location.

She manages to scratch the Assassin's face with her blade but because of this he took Elizabeth's map for the remaining bases from the organization and destroyed the map "NOOOO!!!." She yelled as all her clones arrived at the room and chased off the Assassin "If you're planning on saving her I suggest you go to me at the Convenience store when you're done." Sara said as Elizabeth chases after the Assassin "How do you know that I want to save her." She asked "Because that's what you wanted to do ever since you found out what she really is." Sara said as Elizabeth smiles and leaves the room.

"She's right in this roo--." The clone then felt tremendous pain coming from her head "Something wrong?." Arthur asked "No just keep going I'll be heading to my other selves now." she said "Thank you." He bowed and left "Til we meet again my sweet prince." She said as she then proceeds to cut off the Assassin's escape.

"Doctor!." Dorothy entered the room "We need to get out of here." Carla said "Follow me!." Saya led the way as everyone ran towards the exit and managed to get out safely.

meanwhile the Assassin was being chased by the clones, he dodged every bullet fired from them and often block their strikes from any clones in his way.

"Girls don't let him escape and make sure he suffers slowly when we're going to kill him." She yells as all the clones get riled up and did their all to try and capture the running Assassin.

Until one clone went in front of the Assassin, she feinted with her pistol and thinking she would fire the Assassin didn't noticed and then swung a left with her blade landing a blow to him.

As the Assassin was down on the floor pinned "Alright girls it's time to play." Elizabeth commanded as all of the clones surrounded the Assassin and slowly killed him meanwhile Elizabeth noticed the one clone who didn't attack the assassin unlike the others "If you're planning on saving her then I suggest you go to me at the convenience store whenever you're done."

"How do you know I want to save her."

"Because that's what you wanted to do ever since you found out what she really is." She thoughts about what Sara told her before leaving the room to chase after the Assassin and walked towards the different clone "You helped him didn't you?." Elizabeth asked "You didn't kill her didn't you?." She replied back "Why didn't you tell me about what the doctor placed in you other me?." Elizabeth asked "I don't know i guess I wanted you to enjoy life without experiencing this kind of pai-." Elizabeth then commands the different clone to disperse.

"I'm sorry it had to end like this. This way you won't feel pain for a while now." Elizabeth said as the different clone dispersed and went back inside of her.

(Elizabeth's clones never die, whenever they get killed they'd simply go back to the main host and can be summon back again, all recharged and back to full health.)

Meanwhile..

"Master I have urgent news the Assassin has succeeded in destroying the map, that wretched girl won't attack any of our bases now." the figure said.

"But?." He asked "The Assassin has been killed." The figure replied "A shame, oh well we'll just hire another." the Master said as he takes a sip from his wine the figure then leaves the room "It's a shame that we couldn't control the girl, she would've been perfect to be the most useful test subject ever." He said to himself.

Arthur and the others stayed at the park and said their goodbyes to Dr. Sara "I'm really sorry if I got you and your friends into trouble." She said as she bows her head "You don't have to be you helped me before and I'm helping you now, think of it as my payment for helping me out." Dorothy replied as Sara then grabs Dorothy and whispers "So is it that guy you're in love with?."

"Yes Dr. He is the one I told you about." Dorothy replied after their parting Arthur and the rest tried to sneaked in back into the dorm "And where have you four been off to!." Sir. Charles was waiting at the front door looking frustrated.

Arthur tries to make up an excuse and says "Umm we went at a party Sir.?."

"IT'S ALREADY PASS MIDNIGHT DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!?." Sir. Charles was so frustrated he gave a rant towards them for an hour.

Meanwhile A few days later..

Elizabeth was sitting at the top of the tower.. "Now where could you have gone off to?." She said to herself.
