Different writing style this time.

No…

She whipped around as the shadow of her past landed on the floor.

How could she…

It was like staring in a mirror. She was starting to -

'Blood everywhere. A shrill laugh.'

More kills.

More.

How did he know...

 “Hello there!”  ''' Lycia said happily. “Long time no see! Or should I say -”'''

She swept forwards and sliced down. Just as she anticipated though, Lycia dodged.

''' “Whoa whoa, looks like whatever that mage did changed your personality a lot. What happened to being calm and patient, eh?” '''

“I still am. Just not around you.”

Lycia raised an eyebrow, which was decidedly creepy considering they were clones. Almost. Lycia just had red stripes, that’s all. Lucidia had blue.

 “You say ‘you’ like I’m a separate person.” 

She swiped again, putting all her fury into the hit. Lycia grabbed the scythe and flung it away easily, but she was undeterred. “Because you are seperate. You’re not me anymore.”

''' “But I still am! Your little petty spell might’ve suppressed me, but I’m still there, buried deep, yes, but still there. One day I’ll come back, and all of your ‘friends’ can see just how much of a m o n s t e r y o u w e r e!” '''

“Shut… the literal fu -”

Lycia kicked her backwards in the chest, but she anticipated it and landed on her feet.

''' “And you killed Fathom! Your only protector! Isn’t that enough already? I’m not gone, Lucidia, and I never will be -” '''

 “SHUT UP!”  ''' She screamed as she rushed forwards, catching Lycia off guard as she slammed a thunderbolt into her. Lycia fell backwards, but fired a laser back which stopped her from attacking again.'''

Shekilledhimshekilledhimnotyounotyo -

 “But you said you sealed me away,”  ''' she countered accusingly, clearly enjoying her distress. ''' “So it was you. All along.”

Lucidia stopped suddenly, closing her eyes, trying to stop the thoughts assaulting her mind. Her next words were deadly calm.

“Tell me truthfully. If you’re the alternate me from another timeline... does that mean by killing you I erase that possibility?”

 “Uh… that’s not exactly how it works.” 

Lucidia picked up her scythe from the ground. “It doesn’t matter. Let this fight mark the end of one of us. Either me becoming you once again… or you finally accepting that you’re not coming back.”

Lyciai grinned, flying up into the air to tower over her. With a swift slash she summoned her dual blades, which glowed a deep blood red.  “As you wish.” 

Lucidia frowned. “Those blades… I haven’t seen them in a long while. I destroyed them.”

''' “Ah, so you still have a brain! That’s good.” '''

“Those were the blades that killed Fathom. I threw them into a volcano shortly after his death.”

Lycia’s expression briefly become unnerved, but she remained calm. ''' “No matter what the history, they’re still mine. And yours, mind you.” '''

“No. Oblivion is my weapon now. You can have Entropy for all I care.”

''' “Fine. So be it.” '''

Meanwhile, Finite was sprinting away from the mechanical monster that had come to kill him. He was clutching his newly acquired right arm, still disoriented from it suddenly growing right back like magic. The Dec lookalike chased after him, taunting him and spitting out curses that hurt him mentally.

''' “Hey, come here kitty kitty kitty!” '''

''' “Look at you running. Pathetic.” '''

''' “Fight me like you’re supposed to.” '''

''' “GIVE UP ALREADY!” '''

Finite stopped, spinning around suddenly and leaving a large laceration on the automation with his whips. It barely stops as it charges at him, headbutting him backwards into the sky. He landed heavily next to Terrene, who was distracted long enough for Astro to smack him back with a shield.

“...Finite, your arm…”

“Yeah, I know. Ignore it, just focus on staying alive for now.”

Carmen flew by him, grappling with her counter who was constantly trying to hit her with bolts of lightning. Carmen swept to the side before blasting fire, but Aria dodged all the same, taking advantage of her inherited agility. Meanwhile, Endless was catching up to him again, and he prepared himself to fight.

''' “You call yourself a warrior, yet you can’t even fight something that’s not made out of flesh? Who are you really, Finite? A Celestial… or a coward?” '''

Finite hit the automation with a beam of plasma. “I don’t know what you mean by Celestial. I’m an orphan, I never knew who my parents were. But I’m definitely not a Celestial Dragon. I don’t have any powers.”

''' “Haha.. what about the wings? What about the crystals? What about 303’s scythe? Look closer, Finite. Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed these changes around you.” '''

Finite faltered, and Ended used the moment to throw a rock in his direction, which he barely smashed in time to save himself from being squashed.

“Even is I really am a Celestial,” he yelled. “Explain why I don’t have all the powers! EXPLAIN WHY I DON’T LOOK LIKE ANY OF THEM!”

''' “Haven’t you been listening to the others at all?” ''' Endless tried to headbutt him again, but Finite was ready this time, jumping out of the way.  “Hybrid.” 

Finite froze, whilst Endless looked on triumphantly.

''' “That’s right. You’re not even full demon. You’re half Ascended, half Celestial. As for which Celestial species, I’ll leave that for you to figure out.” '''

“You’re lying… YOU’RE LYING!”

He landed a brutal slash across Endless’ back, causing him to howl.

And it continues...
