[Guy lv.5]: Uhh...
It's your twin's turn again, and you wince even before his attack even starts. This is gonna get rather ugly - a tiny bit of blood came out of his nose after Guy hit him and you can see the rage in the twin's wild, violet eyes.
Mirror Martin starts using his teleportation technique again - this time attacking as he flies crazily around. Guy ducks down and tries uselessly to protect himself.

[Guy lv.5] //-9 HP//

After just four hits, Mirror Martin finally has to end his turn. Using both teleportation and his physical attacks must drain some sort of meter or something? Boy do you have a LOT of research to do.
Research, however, is the least of your worries at this moment - the four hits that Guy took drained a total of twenty-four hitpoints - Guy only has twenty-eight. One more hit and he's down. You grow rather tense as you realize this and remember the fact that your turn is coming up. The four of you have got to figure out how to beat this guy before his next turn...
[Mirror Martin lv.8]: Wait are you waiting for, Chris? It's your turn, you know~
You've quickly grown irritated with this... THING. He creeps you out and his attitude is horrible... just looking at him makes your hair prickle with rage and--
[Mirror Martin lv.8]: Oooh, I made him blush! I made him blush~
You finally get pissed off to the point where you sprint toward your evil twin - however, as you do so, he sticks his foot out in front of your feet, sending you flying. You come crashing to the ground.
[Chris lv.5] //-3 HP//
Mirror Martin jumps on top of you in a counterattack.
[Chris lv.5] //-5 HP//
You groan. You're starting to get a headache - and can only imagine how Guy must be feeling right now.
Jonny steps - or, to be more precise - jumps forward and manages to slam his fist right into your twin's chest. Mirror Martin stumbles backwards a bit but doesn't lose his balance.
[Jonny lv.5] //DIRECT HIT!//
[Mirror Martin lv.8] //-4 HP//
It wasn't a bad attack at all - now that's four less hitpoints your evil twin has to use. But he still has thirty-one left. You've got twenty-six.
Mirror Martin attempts a counter attack that Jonny thankfully manages to avoid. Will steps up next. He lets loose with an impressive and powerful attack...
[Will lv.5] //MISS//
...that, unfortunately, completely misses the target. Mirror Martin responds with a counter-attack.
[Will lv.5] //-3 HP//
As the turn goes to Guy, you grow nervous - scared, actually - it's already his turn again and you all have barely left a scratch on your twin. You can only hope that Guy can pull off another powerful hit like he did last time.
Guy uses the first attack that had hit Mirror Martin - but this time he's ready. He jumps out of the way and uses his foot to violently throw Guy to the ground...
[Guy lv.5] //-3 HP//
...he's just barely hanging on, by just one hitpoint, if he can evade Mirror Martin's counter-attack, then just maybe--
Guy swears out loud as he skids violently across the carpet, burning himself.
[Guy lv.5] //-1 HP//
>> User GUY has been eliminated! MIRROR MARTIN gained #### EXP points!
He hung on to that one last hitpoint only to lose it... to a carpet burn. Guy disappears - you worry for a split second but remember that he's probably just been thrown back into normal mode.
You also think about the EXP bar you saw over Mirror Martin's head. Surely it should have grown, even a little? You know for sure that it should have shown a number rather than those strange symbols. Odd...
The main thing you need to worry about right now is that now there's only three of you left to fight this 'thing'. However, the chances of your survival become rather grave when you see a troublesome smile spread across Mirror Martin's cruel, pale face.
[Mirror Martin lv.8]: It seems that the markers on my Attack Meter have properly lined up - now I can use one of my special moves... fufufu~
[Chris lv.5]: ...wait, special move? What does that even mean...?
[Mirror Martin lv.8]: Two of you are about to find out... hm... which ones do I want to destroy first~
You swallow nervously as Mirror Martin glances at each of you. He smiles, obviously a signal that he's made his decision. You brace yourself, almost certain that you are the next to get KO'd.
[Mirror Martin lv.8]: Reverse Sandstorm... uh, Zeta!
Sand swirls around Mirror Martin's feet. His eyes glow brightly as he leaps into the air - you brace yourself for a harsh attack. However, he surprises you as he flips himself backward into a nearly uncontrollable spin before launching himself at Will and Jonny.
Both try to dive out of the way, but the range of the attack is too great - as Mirror Martin slams himself into the ground, sand explodes outward, knocking your two remaining partners over and draining their hitpoints... completely. They are eliminated instantly, leaving just you to fend for yourself against your evil twin.
Maybe that's why he attacked them first - because maybe he wanted to fight you alone?
>> Users WILL and JONNY have been eliminated! MIRROR MARTIN gained #### EXP points!
You are hit by some excess sand that flies from the main point of impact.
[Chris lv.5] //-5 HP//
Mirror Martin also takes some recoil from his special move after he was slammed into the ground.
[Mirror Martin lv.8] //-5 HP//
It's a bit of an advantage, but now you've got only twenty-one hitpoints and he's got twenty-six. It's not a huge difference in hitpoints alone... but he's about six times more powerful than you are.
[Chris lv.5]: Alright, listen up.
It's your turn, so you decide to take advantage of that fact in order to get answers.
[Chris lv.5]: Before this goes any further, I want to ask you something... okay... exactly who are you and why do you hate us all so much?
[Mirror Martin lv.8]: Hmm... I'm about to kick your ass to Neptune and back so I guess this is a fair deal~ anyway, I'm you, Chris--
[Chris lv.5]: How is that possible, we're nothing--
[Mirror Martin lv.8]: It's rude to interrupt, Chris. As I was saying... oh, right. I am you. Now I know we're not anything alike (thank God)... that's because in my universe things are different... you and I are similar in some ways, polar opposites in most...
[Chris lv.5]: Now what does that have anything to do with you trying to essentially wipe out our universe? We haven't done anything to you...
[Mirror Martin lv.8]: ...yet. Soon, very soon one of the four of you will try to destroy me once and for all, outside of the battle mode, triggering a war that will repeat itself over and over again for the rest of time! Your universe will tear itself to shreds, fufufu~
