Video; Doppel -> Action!

[knights_king]

Hello.

[Standing in the middle of the street Saturday night in a less dense part of Las Vegas, Arthur's doppel produced his phone and entered the numbers in, posting video feed.]

I think I know who's responsible for that big light in Germany.

It's some copy of me, but something must have happened to him--because, he isn't right. His eyes are gold, not green and he sports black armor, like some sort of demon.

[Steady and unfettered by the idea of what he was suggesting, Arthur called himself out.]

Whoever you are, I know something's happened to you which has made you 'wrong'. The only thing I can do is get rid of you so you don't cause anymore damage. So, I'm calling you out. [His serious look had turned more malicious, anger showing in his eyes.] Be a man.

If anyone else is suffering from this problem, please let me know. I'll help you take care of these things.

[Emilia, the real one, was one of the first to see this video post.. And will of course respond with her own. The video of a certain vampire glaring back with anger, her crimson eyes glowing, and with such pride in her bearing must be something.]

[There's a curse in Romanian - she just called him a 'blasphemous doppelgänger.']

You will not hurt so much as a hair on him!

[The real Arthur had already left. Knowing full well Emilia would respond, he wanted to be there first to force things to end. So, as Arthur tore through the air to find the teleporter--]

[Meanwhile, the cold look that met Emilia was absolutely the opposite of her own Arthur's.]

Don't use my Emi's face against me, whatever you are.

[scarlet_devil]

[Meanwhile, doppel!Emi is panicking and running as quickly as she can towards the teleporter back in Germany. She wants to stop this fight before it starts.]

I am the true Emilia Stacojiu! I am not some broken girl that's terrified of her own shadow!

[She would be lying if she said this copy's cold stare didn't hurt... It only serves to piss her off even more. Of course, she's just switched to her phone; she's heading out too.]

I'm sure it's partly your fault she's like that.

Doppel - Action!

[knights_king]

Say whatever you want.

[He said only one more thing before he reached to turn off his phone.]

If you come to help him, I won't hesitate.

[Off his phone went.

The real Arthur appeared in Las Vegas, spearing through the air like a comet. Arthur's Doppel donned his armor in one burst of magic, waiting for him.]

[scarlet_devil]

[Both Emis were well on their way now, the original heading from her home and the doppelgänger from the teleporter, following the real Arthur's flight as quickly as she could.

As it turns out, doppel Emi will be arriving moments after the original Arthur... The real Emi will charge in not long after her.]

Um. Wow.

That sounds kind of... extreme?

I think if everyone just talked things out, we could reach a peaceful arrangement?

[Its possible that accidentally never really talking to Arthur is going to screw them over here.]

Video

[knights_king]

Peaceful? If you've seen the news, then you must have heard of the pillar of light in Germany that showed up recently--it was that guy, flaunting his power.

We can't let people like that live. It's better to bite the bullet and be rid of them.

Video

[originaloddcouple]

...Well actually, no we don't really watch the news....

We usually watch a movie, check on the network, typical stuff...

Did the light hurt anyone?

Video

[knights_king]

No. He was just trying to show off.

Someone like that's only a step away from really hurting people.

Video

[originaloddcouple]

...Buddy.

Pal.

[Rakka stared at the feed in disbelief, unable to draw up the words for what she was feeling at the moment.]

Y-you're going to kill your clone?

[video]

[knights_king]

It's better not to call him a clone. He's just a monster using my face.

[Said with the same callous disregard that came from tyrants.]

[video]

[charcoalfeather]

But... they're still people! They're human beings, like us!

[This was so much different then before. These weren't aliens, or stone snakes.]

That would be murder!

[video]

[knights_king]

If I kill one person who could end up killing hundreds or thousands--that would make it worth it.

[video]

[charcoalfeather]

Well...! Cant you try to just... incapacitate him?

audio;

[purestambition]

Is that wise?

audio;

[knights_king]

Remaining inactive and letting that guy run around throwing around magic like that around wouldn't be wise.

audio;

[purestambition]

Neither is two of you fighting.

audio;

[knights_king]

Pre-emptively being rid of him is just the best option we've got.

You didn't see what he did.

audio;

[purestambition]

Do enlighten me, then.

voice;

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Did you really just call out your clone for some sort of pistols at dawn duel?

voice;

[knights_king]

Well, no.

I think he uses a sword, like me.

[He's never seen The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.]

voice;

[moreweaponsthanyou]

It's still a duel though. Except instead of pistols, you're using swords, right?

voice;

[knights_king]

Yeah, but you said-- [Crap, he didn't have time for a chat.]

Uh, I think they're getting here soon.

voice;

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Oi! You have backup planned I hope! [Because otherwise? Just a bad idea.]
