Marco used all 4 of his spirits, and the doppelganger did the same, making the smokescreen around her vanish, then Marco kicked the ground and shot towards her like an arrow, while she jumped over Marco and extended her arm towards his back, charging a bijuudama.
However a chakra arm came out from Marco's back and pushed the bijuudama back at the doppelganger, who didn't expected such a situation, and exploded, the doppelganger received the biggest damage, however she came out with only a burned part since the bijuudama wasn't that strong and it was small.
It made her fly in the sky for some seconds, which Marco used to reach her and throw a kick downwards, towards her head.
But she countered by grabbing the leg and spinning her body, then using the momentum to smash Marco on the floor, thanks to Gnome's powers, he didn't got any serious damage, so he used his chakra limbs to anchor himself to the ground, and turned his body to slam the doppelganger at the other side.
The doppelganger released Marco's leg to push herself away from the ground, and made a backflip before landing perfectly in the ground, and then they looked each other seriously.
*Ding*
*Serene Mind activated, duration 0:26*
*Ding*
*Semi-Berserk activated, physical limits broken*
The duration of serene mind increased of 1 second, thanks to his willpower, the doppelganger's eyes turned empty too while she released a flaming aura, meaning she was using the serene mind and Semi-Berserk.
Their movements were as light as the wind, their body were as strong as earth, their minds were as calm as water, and their spirits burned as hot as fire…
This was the pinnacle that the legendary hero Heinrich reached 500 years ago… And soon a new sentence would be added.
"Speed as fast as the lightning…"
If Heinrich would get Lily too, then this sentence would be said together with the other 4.
But the one who want to get her was Marco, who is able to use the spirits as he wishes.
And if Marco wants something, he will get it, no matter how, he will pick the best way to achieve it.
But now, let's return back to the fight. This was the fight between two entities that would frighten any other Monster Lord, with the exception of Alice 1st and 16th, if released at their 100%.
However one is the original, and the other is a fake.
And the original has 3 advantages:
The first is that his willpower is enough to increase the duration of the serene mind in a fight, while the doppelganger's willpower isn't.
The second is that the doppelganger's imagination is light-years away from Marco's mind.
And the third is that Marco is an outsider, he already knows techniques that he never used, like Quadruple Giga, and the elemental style: Bijuudama.
About the bijuudama…
Marco: Let's try the new one…
Marco said with a calm tone, then the doppelganger and Marco rushed at each other, following the flow of their heart and the will of their spirits, 20 seconds passed and the terrain around them was reduced to crap.
They raised their palms, one for each person, and charged their bijuudama, the doppelganger wanted to counter Marco's one, while Marco wanted to destroy her, so he fused the fire power inside it.
The bijuudama turned yellow like a miniature sun, surprising the doppelganger for a moment, and unable to change their movements, their bijuudama clashed.
However, it was easy to know which bijuudama overpowered the other, and Marco's bijuudama released a blast, flinging the doppelganger against many trees, however the speed didn't decreased. So, with an intense pain over her back, she created chakra limbs to anchor herself on the ground.
But it did little when Marco's hands were covered in wind, and swung them to create a wind blade that sliced the remaining trees and caught with the doppelganger in 2 seconds, so she created other chakra limbs to catch the wind blade before it could cut her.
Marco: ...Tch, idiot.
Marco turned his back from the doppelganger, he already won.
The doppelganger caught the wind blade, but Marco swung two arms, not one, and so she didn't noticed the other wind blade clashing with the first one, fusing, and its power increasing enough to cut off the doppelganger's chakra limbs and body.
And finally, she was sealed into a mirror, far away from where she was before...
Even Marco himself would just dodge the attack instead of taking it head on, it was rather easy beating a doppelganger, he just needed to think about: "What is dangerous for me, but I am able to do?" And here it is, in this case it was receiving a strong wind blade head on.
She couldn't possibly replicate everything of his, only a perfect doppelganger is able to do so, and the bad news is that something like that really exist…
In the original game, this one was part of a side-story, while the canon one was at the navel of the world, one of the places that Marco didn't visited yet.
She was created from Promestein to copy all of Luka's memories, skills, and looks, the only difference is that she didn't had a specified gender, so she could easily turn from boy to girl and vice versa, but unlike a normal doppelganger, she was able to copy one's memories too.
It will be really dangerous if Promestein is able to create the doppelganger of himself… She will be able to access the scripted future of the game, however, this is a double-edged sword.
This will be able to give an edge to both Promestein and Marco depending on the doppelganger.
Promestein didn't show any usage of brainwashing, so the doppelganger could work with Marco, however, if she doesn't, and talks about the future with Promestein, then it means that Marco already knows what path he should avoid, creating unexpected results.
He hoped for the first option, he always liked to have a brother or sister… Or… Seriously, how was it called if one could turn to both genders, a bro-ster?
And since they were made with the same blood, they could be considered siblings, well, it would be a bit awkward in front of his mother's grave…
Since memories are the thing that creates emotions, then the doppelganger made from Promestein should have his same feelings.
Probably in the original version Promestein eliminated recent memories from the baptism day and so on, then swapping them with other memories, however if she doesn't know the existence of his previous life, she will be unable to touch them.
And if the clone is too perfect… She would be able to clone another Nine Tailed System… However, the system said that only he owns it, meaning that even if other people are able to use it, it is Marco's decision if he would let them do it.
Marco: *Sigh* I should stop thinking about such things… 'When it will happen, I will think about it…'
Suddenly, a nearby bush moved, and revealed the real Alice, but Marco still had some doubts…
Alice: What happened here?
Marco: Do you remember the vanilla cake I gave you at your birthday?
Alice: ...What cake are you talking about? You gave me a ribbon…
Marco: *Sigh* Thanks god… I asked it because I fought against a doppelganger, and I had some doubts about your identity…
Alice: ...You did what?! How are you even able to beat something like that?! Wait… You attacked her before you let her transform, didn't you?
Marco: Huh? And where is the fun in that?
Alice facepalmed, and let out a long groan.
Alice: ...You idiot...
