"No, but I bet there were probably a few influential thoughts floating around in that head of yours.." The blonde snorted. "Mine's fairly boring compared to other's."

"Maybe, and for the most part I really can't complain," Tantlaus said, "and I wouldn't call yours boring. You're more colorful than me, anyway," he said, and then suddenly he froze. "There's something here." He turned around, releasing Damocles's arm.
A few feet behind them, a figure stepped out of the darkness. He - it? - looked almost identical to Tantalus - except, strangely, almost greyed out.
"Die," the creature snarled, as it strode forward slowly.

"I have now clue how mine's influenced..." A shrug. "I am surprise at the, ah, amount of color on it though." He felt it too, and turned to look at... Tantalus? "What in the world...?" He said before he suddenly went flying forward, something grey following him. The grey figure bounced of Damocles' back and flipped to catch it's footing.
A Damocles dopple?

"s**t," Tantalus swore, rather out of character for the brunette. He looked around, eyes darting between the two clones. Which was the bigger threat? Neither he nor Damocles had had occasion to use their magic, so it was difficult to be sure on that angle.
Tantalus's doppelganger didn't exactly give him time to complete his thought. The creature ran at him, and he wasn't prepared for it to slam into his gut. He growled, stepping back. "Damocles! We need to chase off one first, and then worry about the other!"

"You think??" Damocles groused as he picked himself up. "I'm open to suggestions with favorites." The shadow Damocles slowly approached as well, cracking it's knuckles. "...He is not going to be fun..."

Tantalus narrowed his eyes at his double, and then glanced over at Damocles's. "I'd rather handle yours one on one, if it's got your skills," he said, ducking a very clumsy punch from his double and then elbowing it in the gut.
It was then that an idea sparked in him, and he held out his hands. "Tease," he said, and then an apple formed in his cupped hands. He offered it to the double, who stared as if entranced, and then threw it. The double spun around and went scampering off, and Tantalus's face lit up. "One down!" For the moment, at least.

"And one to go." Damocles said as he eyed his dopple. The shadow clone she grinned. The blonde took a defensive only to narrow his eyes when the other did nothing. Whatever. He wasn't going to question it. If the thing would stand there, then fine. Damocles ran at it fist raised.
"Damocles Devoted Defense."
Damocles came screeching to a stop just short, making a strangle noise as his brain tried to make sense of what just happened.
His clone just used his own attack.
On Tantalus

Tantalus wasn't sure what was happening, because suddenly he was between Damocles and the blond's clone, and he was reaching out to block the attack. It was as if his body was moving on its own. Was this what Damocles's magic could do? That was a chilling thought.
He found himself moving to attack Damocles, even as his mind screamed not to. What the hell was happening?

Damocles paled as he jumped back, putting distance between himself and Tantalus. What the hell? His glance flickered between Tantalus and his clone. If they could use powers... ********.. That meant that Tantalus' could also use the 'Apple of induced ADD' as he had come to call it. Which meant they had to either split, or beat ....himself? into the ground and do it fast.
15 Seconds.
If he could keep Tantalus and this other at bay for 15 seconds maybe they could get the upper hand.
Maybe

Tantalus slowly sank down. Maybe if he stayed still, he could wait out Damocles's power - though they didn't have long before his own mirror clone returned. Perhaps he was able to keep from attacking Damocles because the blond wasn't actively attacking his clone - who he could only entertain brief ideas of attacking right then, before the weight of the magic crushed any desire to fight.

Damocles just watched, his heart sinking down along with Tatalus. You can do this... Just hold on a few more seconds.. He thought. This could work, providing his clone didnt decide to take matters into his own hands.

Those had to have been the longest fifteen seconds of Tantalus's life. Finally, he felt the magic break, and it was all he could do not to run to Damocles and cling to his shirt. Instead, he spun around, eyes narrowed at the clone of his boyfriend.
"Tease," he said, casting a quick glance over his shoulder to see if his own was returning before offering the apple and then throwing it.

The clone just blinked curiously at the apple, before he seemed to almost perk up and dart after the apple. Damocles tearing after him. "Get him while he's distracted!" The blonde yelled. Maybe this would give them a bit more time, and distance, before Tantalus' own dopple reappeared. Damocles copied his double, launching himself into the things body and knocking it to the ground. The thing hissed as it hit the ground, picking itself up to chase down the apple. With a spin, Damocles sent is leg flying out, knee sinking into the shades stomach. The thing snarled as it crashed into a wall.

Tantalus nodded sharply, not speaking and simply running after the clone. He was angry enough to brush aside any hesitations that came form this thing wearing Damocles's face - normally he would've hesitated given that it would feel like hitting his blond, but after having that damn attack used on him, he was feeling a lot less charitable towards it.
Once Damocles knocked it into the wall, he slipped in from the side, shifting to sweep the creature's legs out from under it. Getting it on the ground, he was fairly certain that between two hefty pairs of boots one of them would be able to crush its windpipe.

The clone hissed, making it's own attempt at throwing an attack as it crashed to the ground. Almost as if he was reading Tantalus' mind, Damocles was quick to trap the creatures throat between the ground and his boot. The shadow hissed and snarled, clawing at Damocles' leg but accomplishing little due to the guards on the blondes boats. "I am so over this." Damocles grumbled, pressing down on the other things throat.
