"Melody is...." Brad started. Before he could finish Champ burst through the door carrying Kenny. Jenny was furious, she raced over to Champ, slamming him against the wall. "What the hell did you do!" She screamed. "I didn't do anything," Champ gasped. It was then that Jenny got Jakob's message. Her anger rose. She launched Champ across the room, until he collided with another wall. "Why didn't you let me fight him!" She shouted. Champ rose to his feet again, slowly. "Jenny, you're being irrational," He said, "We're just trying to help you, we're your friends." Jenny relaxed, the anger slowly fading. She looked down at Kenny. "Well, he probably does know a thing or two," She said, smiling a little.

Alex had to continue on foot, due to Skyway Patrol focusing on him (and the fact that they had brought out some anti-air), and ignoring the others.
He ducked into a near-empty parking structure.
Before he could pop back out to return fire, he could hear the men screaming....and some more explosions that he himself hadn't been involved in.
He looked out onto the wreckage that had been left, wondering what had happened. At least they'd stopped chasing him....but what took them out?
He decided not to think about it and just go home to his monitoring station.
**********************
Alex, looking slightly pleased with himself, walked into Mezmer's.
"Hey, guys. Get anything out of him yet?"

"No," Jenny said coldly, "Seems this dog is to loyal to tell us anything." From where he lay Kenny glared up at Alex angrily, imitating the motion of baring his teeth.

Alex just smiled a friendly smile that was strangely unnerving. "He just needs a little persuasion...not necessary violence, though. Not against him, anyway. Loyalty can be used to our advantage."

"Mogg," Jenny said, smiling. Brad frowned. "Jenny," He said, "Not to defend the guy, but as far as we know Mogg hasn't done anything...and you're supposed to be a hero. Heroes don't hurt innocent people..."

Alex motioned for Brad to move away from the main group.
"Look, we don't actually have to hurt Mogg. We just have to make Kenny think we're going to....then he'll tell us what we want. A win-win, in my opinion." He said quietly.
***************
Alex got into his chair.
"Okay, I'm back." He announced to all that had access to the channel....most of whom thought they had just seen walk into Mezmer's.

"Wait, aren't you at Mezmers?" Champ asked quietly, staring at the Alex in front of him. His hand twitched instinctively towards his sword, and he took a cautious step back.

"What?........no.....no I'm not.....but in a complete different sense, I may be here and there.....I wouldn't be too alarmed, though. He's basically me....just a little more trigger-happy and strategic. Remember when I was acting weird in Japan? Well, he's why. I got rid of him, but he warned me he'd find a new body, and thus, here we are."
He sighed.
"Like I said, he's basically good, but he'll be more prone to killing opponents. Shoot now, ask questions later. So just keep calm, I'll be there soon. Alex out."
He jumped out the window and started flying towards Mezmer's.

Jenny grinned at the other Alex's suggestion, walking over to Kenny. "I have some questions for you," She said, grinning maliciously at him, "And If you don't answer how I want, I'm going to do some damage to your master." Kenny growled. "Don't you dare touch him!" He shouted. "Then tell me what I want to know," Jenny said. Kenny imitated baring his teeth again. "We'll start with something simple," Jenny said, "Where's Melody?"

Jakob overheard the conversation. He had to lay low for a while.
"Just let me know when you have information. I'll be waiting."
Meanwhile, he had to take a call, inform Mogg of the current situations.

At that point, the real Alex showed up, pushing open the front door.
"Hey, look who decided to show up!" said the duplicate with a grin.
"Look, I just need to talk to you.....if you don't mind." sighed the real Alex.
"Sure. No problem. Should we take it outside?"
"Yeah. That'd be best."
Anybody who wasn't aware of the situation before become thouroughly confused, seeing the mirror images walk out the door.

Kenny stared after the mirror images. "How hard was I hit?" He mumbled. "I don't know..." Jenny said, staring after the pair as well. She shook her head after a moment, focusing on the task at hand. "Anyway, you still haven't answered my question," She said, anger creeping back into her tone.

"Look, I know that you're not actually here to cause trouble.....as you said, we have the same motivations and goals." Alex began.
"True. So what's there to talk about? I'll just help you out. The only issue we had was with sharing a brain....now that that's settled, we're twice as powerful!" The doppleganger said, grinning.
"Well, yeah. I just want to make sure you know not to kill anybody unless given the OK from us, alright? And we'll probably have to give you some sort of new paint to differentiate the two of us."
"Well, this is just the cloaking device going here. I modified the body I found to basically be the same, but it's got these stabilizer fins on the back....."
"Well, let's see 'em."
The second Alex changed, and was slightly slimmer, with the mentioned stabilizer, darker hues of blue, and instead of orange, he had gold.
"Alright. Just stay like that and we'll be fine."
" 'K. Let's get back to it, then!" exclaimed Alex number two.
"Wait, what should we call you, anyway?" Alex asked.
"Um.....don't know."
"Oh well. We'll come up with something."
And with that, the two Alex's walked back in (though it was a little easier to tell them apart now).

"Done fighting with yourself?" Champ said, sarcastically as Alex re-entered. "Now, if we're done with that," Jenny said, "Maybe Kenny can give me an answer..." Kenny struggled, but eventually gave in. "Melody's at Wizzly World," He said, "She's posing as a normal employee."

"Cool. Let's go." The Alex's said in unison, then looked at each other.
