Jewels' POV

"As a matter of fact I have." Venus said sitting down. "But I hate to tell you, it wasn't Hathor. I know her, well, knew her quite well. It wasn't her."

"Crap." I slumped down in my chair. I propped my foot up on another chair and gazed out the window.

"The woman that I did encounter was similar to her in a way. They acted the same, looked the same. Could have been a relation of Hathor's." I zoned out and reached for the amulet. It felt like it was vibrating in my hand. I saw a flash as I was zoned and refocused. A figure was outside the window a couple meters away.

"Jewels, you okay? You jerked." Starchild asked.

"Uh yeah." I said plainly. I got up and stood next to the window. I looked at the figure and saw that it was accompanied by a four legged figure. When the figure turned around I saw it was a woman. But not just any woman, but a certain alien and her groovy canine companion. "Crystal and Amber."

"What?" I turned to look at the two, smiling.

"I just found a friend." I turned back and chuckled. That was until I saw a running beast-like figure. "The timber wolf. Starchild, the timber wolf!" I exclaimed and ran for the door.

"Jewelie wait!" I flung the door open and ran.

"Crystal! Look out!" Her head popped up and saw me. "Behind you!" She turned around and saw the wolf.

"What that?" She screamed. I made it to her just before the wolf and knocked her out of the way. We tumbled a few feet before coming to a stop. I got up on my knees and looked around. I didn't see the wolf but I saw Star and Venus just a few feet away.

"Crystal, are you alright?" I turned to her and set a hand on her shoulder. She pushed up onto her elbow off her back.

"Yeah, just a little disoriented." She rubbed her head. She finally looked up. "Jewelie?"

"Hiya!" I chuckled.

"Jewelie!" She shot up and hugged me. I hugged her back. "It's so good to see you." Amber came up and licked my face. I giggled and pet her head.

"You too. We've missed you guys." I got up and helped Crystal up. "Especially Shag and Scoob."

"Oh." She blushed. "We've missed you guys too," Star and Venus walked up.

"We have been meaning to visit but we've been busy." Amber said. I saw Star and Venus look at her surprised.

"This Amber and Crystal. They're friends of mine and the gangs. We met on a mystery in Roswell, NM. No surprise there. Annndd Amber talks better than Scooby does." We chuckled.

"We're from a planet that is 20 light years from Earth." Crystal told them, pointing at the sky. "This place is only a little closer then Earth."

"So in short, you're not the first aliens that we have met." I said while setting an arm on Crystal's shoulders. She smiled and I laughed as she shook her head.

'"So what was that?" Crystal pointed at the empty space behind us. I sighed and looked at Starchild. I could see he wasn't sure about Crystal and kept his mouth shut.

"Just a sec." I told Crystal. I walked over to Star and guided him a few meters away. "I know you have a problem. What is it?"

"How do you know if this is really your friend?" He said quietly. "This could be a trick." I narrowed my eyes at him but relented.

"Fine. I know a way to prove that it is them." I said looking at the two. "Something no one but the gang and I, Crystal's people, and they would know. And no one should be able to replicate." He nodded. We walked back over.

"Everything okay?" Crystal asked.

"Overall, not really. Crystal, please don't take offense but we need to prove that it is you. We dealing with a very dangerous situation right now and can't take any chances." She smiled and had a look of understanding. "So, to prove yourself. Change." Star shook his head and looked at me strangely.

"That's it?" He exclaimed. I gave him a look and held up my hand.

"Okay, okay pretty boy. Keep your pants on." I said sarcastically. Crystal, Amber, and Venus all laughed. I motioned at Crystal and Amber to do their thing. They pulled out their necklaces and before our eyes, they phased into their normal, alien forms. Venus took a few steps back and Star looked shocked.

"How's that?"

"Perfect. Thank you." I walked over and high fived her. "I knew it was you."

"Okay. You proved your point." Star held his hands up in surrender. He smiled. "It's great to meet you, Crystal and Amber. As for your question, that was a timber wolf that was made by an individual's powers."

"Wow." They turned back into the other forms. "But why was it coming after me?"

"No clue." I shrugged. "But I definitely don't like it." I looked off in the distance in wonder. Then something else entirely hit me. "Wait a minute! What are you doing here?"

"Oh, um, another photography assignment?" She gave me an innocent smile, eyes darting from me to the others.

"Same type of photography assignment as before?" I crossed my arms and gave her a knowing smile. She chuckled.

"Yeah, our government sent us out again but not for any reason like before. Just curiosity finally got the best of them about KISSteria." I looked down at her clothes and realized she was wearing similar clothes to the KISSterians.

"Do you ever get a break?" The two just laughed.

"As much as this is enjoyable to watch, it's too dangerous to linger out here with Hathor on the loose." I looked at Starchild and nodded.

"Come on back inside." Venus waved us on in.

3rd POV

The rest of the gang, Whirlwind, and KISS were standing just outside a hospital room. Inside was the comatose body of Hathor. This threw the whole situation for a loop. The guys were confused and Whirlwind was getting more and more unnerved.

"If this is Hathor, who was it I threatened in the park and is making themselves out to be Hathor? A look-a-like?" Catman asked while turning back to the Elder for answers. The Elder sighed.

"Nina." Whirlwind spoke up instead. All eyes turned to him while his remained on Hathor.

"Alright, who is Nina?" Demon asked gruffly.

"Nina is Hathor's twin sister." The Elder said.

"What?"

"Who?"

"Twin sister?" Multiple questions were flung into the air. The Elder held up her hand and everyone quieted down.

"Yes, twin sister. They are alike down to the last freckle. Accept one detail." She waved for them to go into an empty room.

"What is the one detail?" Cat asked, getting desperate.

"She has the same mimicking power as Hathor but doesn't have the being able to turn into a wolf. That power she can't mimic of her sisters strangely. But she does have the power to..." She trailed off a bit.

"Elder?"

"She has the power to stunt someone's power while mimicking it."

"So you're saying that she can cause you to not be able to use your own power if she's mimicking you?" Spaceman asked.

"Precisely."

"Then if she get the Amulet..." Demon trailed off. Cat's eyes widen at the realization before cursing.

"Oh shit."
