[OOC: In which Keyblade Master Kiwi battles his distorted Heartless self :> ]
After the familiar voice faded, the room changed once again. Everything became very dark; Kiwi could no longer discern any of the other minipets around him. Were they still there?? ... What was happening now?? Surely this was all nothing more than a terrible vision they were all unde-
Something was materializing ahead. The scent of FEAR was strong in the air, raw FEAR mingled with something else, mingled with ... insanity itself?? ... The air shimmered and frothed with a wispy colored smoke. And as Kiwi stared, a form began to emerge from the developing miasma.
A minipet, identical to himself. A pixiepuff with the exact markings, color, wings, jewelry, eyes, everything was there to the minute detail. Except that unlike himself, this mirror image flickered and twisted as it stared him evenly in the eye. Much like that twisted minipet's body, he realized, fur bristling as he took a step back. The image mirrored his movement. Is this what happened to them?? ... am I to become just like it?? ... The memory of it's high, shrieking chatter, it's pointed dark teeth as they sunk and sawwed into his flesh made the horseman shudder. No, he would not go down like that. He would not allow himself-
And the image spoke. In a voice, hushed and hissing, a shrill voice he eerily recognized as his own: "Whyyyyyyyy did you not heeeeeeeeddd the warningsssssss?? ... Youuu have failed ussss. You have failed your ownnnn."
Kiwi brushed aside the shudder that rippled along his spine, and blinked.
"Wh-what are you talking about?? ... Just what sort of vision is this??!!"
The image angled it's head to one side, almost as if considering his question.
"Whyyyyyyyy ... You are patheticcc. WEAK. You call yourselfff a proud horseman, an invoker of FEARRRR, a bringer of the enddddd ... And yet you could not even protect them then ... How will you protect them now!!?? SHOW ME!!!"
And with that, the image came hurling towards him, eyes wide and wild, mouth agape in a toothy maniacal grin, leaving Kiwi no further room to object.

It was coming forward so very fast, Kiwi barely had time to dodge. It seemed to be as swift on it's feet as himself, perfectly matched. Could it really be ...
He shook his head, swallowing his own doubts in a low growl as he snapped out, sinking teeth deep into the creature's wispy fur.
"I amn a horsemahn of Fahmine. And I will notht have you dithrespect MY CLAN!!!" he growled between a mouth of fur.

This earned a sharp, mocking rumble from the creature as it swatted Kiwi aside.
"Yesss, prideeeee ... Protect your preciousss clan, and yet you only thinkkk of yourselfffff ... always runninggg, always hiiiding in your rat's holeee while their screamssss called for youuuu ... COWARD!" It snapped, and bit for him.

[OOC: using special attack]
The rumble in Kiwi's own chest was growing. What happened that day had been beyond his control. Yes, he felt guilty. Yes he wished he could have done more. But what happened that day had been out of his hands. The rage in him was rising again, refreshing him.
"Whatever it is you are, I will rip your throat out just as I will every last hunter! And feast on the FEAR!!!" he spat, launching forward, razor claws slicing into the wisps of the doppelganger's side.

The doppelganger grinned wickedly as it crushed Kiwi down with a paw, almost as if to emphasize how frail the boil currently was.

He had had enough of this half of himself's lies. Kiwi reared up, and bit his sharp minipet teeth into the wispy creature's neck.
A long, ear-piercing shriek filled the air. It rang, on and on and on, as the miasma around the phantom riled and swirled. The creature's eyes rolled maddeningly, a deadly grimace to it's sharpened teeth, and in the next moment-
It burst entirely. Wisps of strange, eerie smoke burned down, fading onto the air. With them a huge wave of relief washed across Kiwi. He could feel it, down to his core. It would be alright now. The way was opened, and he was-

Home.
Kiwi blinked, opened his eyes slowly. The light in the tent was dim, but still, it blinded his vision, so that the horseman had lift a hand to shield his eyes.
Wait. His hand?? ... He glanced to them. They were all there, all ten long digits, his arms, his markings, his half-decayed wings spanning around him.
Kiwi sank back, the relief he had felt earlier washing across him. ... But, what had he been so relieved for?? ... No matter how hard he thought to recall, the boil simply couldn't. ... What had happened?? ... what had they done, and most importantly what were they about to do now?? ...
