(Ivy's POV)

I am being pushed back by my Shadow Copy. I tried to push my feet against the ground as hard as I could to push it back.

Ivy: Really are tenacious!

I yelled out as I grabbed onto its arms. I threw it down onto the ground, making a small crater from the impact. I jumped up and spat out a ball of fire at my copy. I landed on the ground and looked at the crater. The wind blew the flames away, revealing a hole in the middle of the crater. I saw the ground below me start to crack. I jumped back and saw my copy jump out of the crack. I noticed it has mole claws on its hands.

Ivy: Take this!

I tried to punch my clone, but it brought its arm up and made a bunch of scales on its arm. My fist hit its scale covered arm.

Ivy: Hey! Only I can copy my brothers traits!

It punched me in the face. I took a step back from the impact. I brought my head forward and made my teeth really sharp, biting down on its arm. My clone struggled to get its arm free from my grasp. I smiled as I started to yank my head back and forth really hard. I brought my fist back and punched my clone in the face, knocking it back. I pulled my head back and managed to rip its entire arm off. I spat out the arm and wiped any of my saliva off my face.

Ivy: There, that will slow you down.

My Shadow Copy recovered and grew a new arm. I sighed.

Ivy: Of course this won't be easy. You're me.

My clone dashed at me. I dashed at it too. We both punched each other in the face. I saw a scorpion tail form on the clone as it stabbed me with it. I grunted from the pain and kicked my clone back. I felt a ton of pain course through my body. It must be a poison from that tail.

Ivy: Heh... Good thing my body is already making an antidote.

My clone ran at me and kicked me, knocking me back into a building. I felt the pain go away as my body fully cured itself of the poison. I smiled to myself and got out of the building, seeing my clone standing in one spot. I ran at my clone. It tried to punch me, but I bent forward, dodging its attack. I grabbed its scorpion tail and started to swing my clone around in a circle. I went over to some buildings and slammed it into the walls. I yanked back really hard, ripping off its tail and making my clone fly across the buildings.

Ivy: I'm going to give you a taste of your own medicine!

I ran forward, catching up to my clone. I grabbed it by the face, dragging it against the buildings. I spun around and kicked its head down, making my clone crash into the ground under it and bounce up slightly. I took the scorpion tail and swung it up at my clone, piercing it's stomach. My clone got knocked up into the sky from the force of my swing. I quickly grew some bird wings on my back and flew up. I got above my clone and punched it's back, knocking it back down to the ground.

Ivy: I swear if that didn't at least hurt you.

I watched as my clone got up and looked up at me. I started to get mad, no, pissed.

Ivy: Oh my god! I'm going to kill you!

My clone grew its own bird wings and flew up at me. It punched my gut. I tried to counter attack, but it shot out some black sludge out of its eyes, hitting my eyes, making me shut my eyes.

Ivy: That's my trick you dirty fu-

I felt a strong punch on my back, making me fly down. I crashed into the ground. I rubbed my eyes, getting. The weird sludge out of my eyes.

Ivy: It's making fun of me...

I looked up, seeing it flying up there, looking down at me. I'm going to kill this thing if it's the last thing I do! I flew right back up at my clone. Instead of attacking head on, I quickly flew behind it and tried to kick it. My clone turned around and caught my leg. I smiled as I started to fly down, flying right next to some buildings. I kicked my clone into the buildings, making it let go of my leg. I was about to punch it, but my clone started to scream out, it's screams echoing in the sky. My clone grabbed my shoulders and head butted my nose. Some blood came out of my nose. My clone bit down onto my neck and started to spin around. I can feel my neck start to stretch out.

Ivy: Get off me!

I punched it's face, breaking its teeth. I flew back, but I managed to slow myself down and land on the ground. I took the broken dark teeth out of my neck and licked the blood off my face.

Ivy: I see you're starting to get angry too!

It held its head and started to scream more before flying right at me. It's bird wings turned into dragon wings as horns came out of its head and scales covered parts of its body. A bunch of flames came out of its mouth. I jumped up, dodging the flames, but my clone came out of the flames and punched me several times. I punched it's face, but it powered through and grabbed me. It flew downward, slamming my head down onto the ground. It pulled my head out of the ground.

Ivy: Where did this come from-

It screamed out more as it punched my face, knocking me back. I landed on the ground. I tried to get up, but it's a little hard due to the pain going through my body. I looked over at my clone as it started to scream out into the sky, pounding its chest.

Ivy: Is that supposed to be a victory cry?

So... This is how I get when I lose my mind? Man, I really do become some kinda beast. I slowly stood up. I spat out some blood. My Shadow Copy looked over at me. I cracked my neck.

Ivy: This isn't finished yet.

I ran at my clone. It tried to punch me, but I dodged it and punched it's face as hard as I could, so hard that some of my bones broke out of my skin. My clone was sent back. I grunted in pain and looked at my broken hand. I quickly used my Power to heal it, but it still hurt a lot. My clone quickly recovered and dashed at me, punching me in the stomach. I grunted as I punched it back. We started to trade blows, each of our punches being harder and stronger than the last.

Ivy: Just go down already!

My clone punched me down onto the ground. Before I could get up, my clone got on top of me and started to constantly punch my face over and over again. I can feel my skull cracking from the force of the punches.

Ivy: Gah!

So this is me... Me when I let go of my humanity and go feral. I can see how I give people a bunch of trouble now. Every time I lose control, I put my life and others lives on the line. God, I really am a handful. My clone grabbed my leg and picked me up, slamming me down into the ground before picking me up again. It started to choke me. I tried to get my Shadow Copy off of me, but I felt my strength leave my body as I couldn't get air.

Ivy: This can't... End...

My vision got blurry as I looked up at the sky. I saw some red energy fly by. It reminded me of (Y/N)'s energy. I started to think back to the fair, when I was fighting Chris. (Y/N) managed to calm me down and snap me out of my primal mindset. If he can control it, then so can I!

Ivy: NO!!!

A rush of adrenaline filled my body as I breathed out a bunch of fire, making my clone let go of me. I landed on the ground, catching my breathe as my flames surrounded me and my clone. I made a pair of dragon wings on my back. A pair of green horns grew out of my head as patches of green scales covered my body.

Ivy: I am not a beast, but that doesn't mean I can't act like one!

My clone tried to attack me, but I dodged it and punched it right through its gut. It screamed out in pain. I punched it down into the ground and stomped its legs so hard they came off it's body. My clone tried to claw its way away from me. I grabbed it by its dragon wings and ripped them off as well. I lunged down and bit down on its neck. I started to yank back and forth, until I ripped its head off. I spat out the head and looked up at the sky.

Ivy: AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!

I stomped on my Shadow Copy's head, destroying it. The rest of its body dissolved, leaving behind a small orb of dark energy that has a green aura surrounding it. The orb flew up into the air and started to fly towards the huge dark tower. I looked around and saw the flames still burning. I flapped my wings, making strong gusts of wind that put out the fire. I looked around and saw the absolute damage that me and my clone caused from our battle.

Ivy: Well... Crap. At least I got control of my "Feral Mode" as (Y/N) called it.

I stretched out my limbs. I'm still a bit sore from that fight, but that won't stop me. I flew up into air and start to search for anyone that needed help with all this dark energy.

Ivy: Time to show just how awesome I am to everyone!
