All Lucky could hear was whispering. Multiples of the things. Knowing the element of surprise was on her side, she sent a ball of energy around the corner. It turned to spikes which shot the creatures down.
Turning the corner, expecting to find a heap of alien, were Roxy, Electra, and Snoops. Snoops was rubbing her head and Electra was staring at a cut on her arm, upset about the bright purple blood oozing from it.
Roxy looked up at Lucky. "Oh, hey, um, ow!"
Lucky blushed as she murmured a quick apology, explaining that she didn't know it was them. Electra pouted, simply pointing to her cut. Snoops glared, still feeling around her head for any bumps.
Lucky frowned. "I said I was sorry." She unfolded her arms, reaching out to give her friends a hand up. "How'd you get out? You were bound and chained to your chairs."
Electra took the offered hand, then helped up Roxy as Lucky next helped Snoops. She then turned to Lucky, grinning. "I'm magic that way."
Lucky rolled her eyes. Leave it to Electra to keep things secret.
"Here, let me see your cut." Lucky reached out to grab Electra's arm, but the bunny pulled back. "'Lectra, you know I can help, if you'd just let-"
Roxy cut in. "Look, she's fine." Snoops just whimpered an agreement.
The sound of Snoops whimper reminded her of something. The sound Exoiniw had made… and rabbits didn't bleed purple!
"Stop!" She rushed passed them and could hear some concerned discussion behind her that certainly wasn't English. They could disguise themselves as people she knew. She wondered where they had learned the language. Maybe it had just been a mind trick. All Lucky knew was that they certainly weren't her friends.
More questions entered the liger's mind as she silently stalked the corridors. Can they fake the powers, too? Are my friends still alive? What if they took over their bodies… no, wait, if they had Electra still would've bled red.
Lucky's thoughts had gotten in the way of her navigation. A door in front of her faded away and the psychic found herself in a huge room full of Roxy's, Snoops', Electra's, and even multiples of herself. And while it was great for Lucky to blend into, it pitched fear into her heart. Would she ever find the real ones?
