"You are under arrest, Earthling!" five-hundred metallic voices chimed at once.
"On whose orders?!" Holden shouted.
"On mine!" said a voice that sounded extremely annoying, conceded, and stupid. Holden couldn't see who had spoken, as the voice had come from somewhere in the crowed of robots.
"HEY!" Holden shouted. "Who's in there?"
The AI backed away to create a pathway for the one who spoke. Holden could see now. It was a tall, hooded figure with bright glowing red eyes.
"Who are you?" Holden shouted.
"Do you really want to know, Holden?" Holden opened his mouth to answer. "NO!" the mystery man screamed. "Don't answer that. I already know the answer," he said maniacally, walking towards Holden. "Trust me, Holden. You don't want to know."
The two were now face to face, and yet Holden couldn't see the features of the man under his cloak and hood. The man breathed heavily, the smell of evil tooth decay shooting from his mouth into Holden's lungs.
"What are you going to do?" Holden questioned. The man did not answer. Instead, he began circling around Holden, poking and prodding at his arms, legs, chest, and back. Finally he spoke.
"You can't even tell your head from your foot. You're limp. You're weak. How have you survived this long alone? You must have had help."
"Oh, he did!" shouted a furious woman. The man turned around to see where the voice had come from, but the woman had already disappeared. "Over here, pretty boy!" she shouted from behind Holden.
"WHAT IS THIS!?!!" the mystery man shrieked. Suddenly, there was a bright flash.
Holden shielded his eyes form the light. He heard the sound of clinking metal and, when he risked opening his eyes, saw that all the AI had been destroyed. The mystery man turned to Holden and grabbed his neck.
"What's going on here?" he snarled. Just then, Cleopatra, Holden's real mom, dropped from the ceiling and put her gun to the mystery man's head. He froze and let Holden go.
"Don't move or I'll blow your brains out," she whispered.
"Holden, remove his hood."
Obediently, Holden reached out and grabbed hold of the man's hood. He closed his eyes and pulled.
"AH!" Holden screamed. He was looking at himself.
"Mwahahahaha! Mwhahahahahahahahaha! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHKCKCKCKCKCK CKKC WHA WHACKKC!" Evil Holden laughed maniacally. Cleopatra put her gun down.
"I can't do it, Holden. I can't shoot him," she said.
"YES YOU CAN! DO IT!" Holden shouted. "Killing people is super easy. I do it all the time!"
"No," she said defiantly, taking a step back. "I won't do it."
"Don't you see?" said Evil Holden. "You have to defeat me, Holden. It's always been you."
Holden suddenly realized what he meant, and for the first time in his life, he was afraid. He looked over at his mom, and she reached into her pocket and pulled out a small, crumpled, gold-painted plastic cup. SHE HAD DONE IT!!!
"Now!!!" Holden shouted, and she threw him the cup. He jumped and caught it, the Goblet of Water, in slow motion. He held it out and willed it to activate. A blue watery stream of energy flowed out, creating the most powerful blade in existence. Powerful enough to even kill aliens.
"So, you found the true Goblet of Water," said Evil Stupid Holden. "I would congratulate you on your victory, if only I hadn't found a blade holding equal power." He pulled out a similar cup, except this one was painted rose gold. It must have been the new years model. A red fiery blade erupted from the cup, and Evil Holden smiled at Slightly-Less-Evil Holden.
"What is that?!" Cleopatra yelled.
"A blade similar in design and power to the Goblet of Water. I, however, will keep the name to myself for fear of legal action. Now, die!" he shouted, lunging at Holden, who dodged the attack.
"I don't think so," Holden said, slashing up, then right, then left, then left again. Then, he plunged the blade forward. Evil Holden jumped back, doing a quadruple flip in the air and landing next to Cleopatra. "NO, MOM!" Holden shouted, taking a step towards them.
"Stop right there or she dies!" Evil Holden snarled, pushing his blade up to her neck, burning the skin. Holden stopped dead in his tracks. "You're too trustworthy," Evil Holden laughed, removing her head.
"NO!!!" Holden shouted, charging at Evil Holden. In one swift motion he removed the clones arms, legs, nose, ears, and eyes. He made sure, however, to keep the brain intact. "You will forever regret that," Holden whispered, slicing off Evil Holden's tongue. He reached into the clones pocket and removed his transmitter. "Alohomora," he said, unlocking it. He activated return mode, and the device direct him out of the cave. He was going to exact his revenge.
Using his flying powers, Holden flew to the coordinates and found a trap door hidden in the floor of a cave. He opened it, revealing a one-hundred foot drop to the depths below.
"YOLO!" he shouted, jumping into the pit.
