Star League 8 Read Online Free PDF

a lot like deep-fried zombie, then the mirror image fades.
    â€˜That was weird,’ I mutter. I try not to think about it as I head down the right-hand path.
    As I round the corner I spot Ursula up ahead.
    â€˜I was wondering when you’d show up,’ she says in the exact same tone of voice I heard just moments ago.
    â€˜Huh?’ I say, scratching my head. ‘Are you repeating yourself or something?’
    â€˜What are you talking about?’ she snarls. But before I can answer she hurls a fireball at me, and in that split second it all becomes clear. I know what I saw in that mirror – I saw the future!
    My instincts scream at me to jump to the right to avoid the fireball, but I know if I do that I’ll be one crispy zombie! So I duck beneath it instead and roll forward. Sure enough, Ursula sends another fireball into the space where she expected me to go, but I’m not there.
    I lunge at Ursula and grab the Shadow Wand out of her hands. ‘Didn’t your parents ever tell you not to play with flaming magical wands?’ She tries to snatch her wand back, but before she can I rip the Shadow Shard from the wand’s tip and point it towards her.
    â€˜Sorry, Ursula, your future plans for world domination are looking hazy. Absorb powers!’

I step through the Shadow Shard portal and find myself back in Doppelganger’s tower. Four more portals appear and I’m joined by Connor, Sam, Leigh and Roger. They’re all clutching Shadow Shards in their hands, so I guess their battles all went as well as mine. I want to ask them if they’ve started developing any weird powers like my invisibility, but before I can there’s a huge roar followed by an enormous crash.
    â€˜Jay!’ I gasp. How could I have forgotten? Jay and Doppelganger are fighting each other, and I don’t think Jay is winning. Doppelganger has used his morphing powers to turn his fists into hammers and is driving them towards Jay’s head. Jay is fast on his feet but only barely manages to dodgeDoppelganger’s blows.
    I’m about to rush forward to help when Jay strikes out with his feet and trips the lumpy grey man. Doppelganger goes down roaring and I can’t resist smirking. Seems like Jay doesn’t need our help after all!
    Doppelganger lies on the floor, breathing heavily. At first I think he’s just out of breath, but then he starts to inflate like a giant balloon. He grows larger and larger until he’s five times his normal size.
    â€˜Uh, I could use a hand over here!’ yells Jay, and we spring into action.
    I lash out with a couple of shuriken. They slice past Doppelganger’s head but he barely seems to notice them, and the small cuts heal in seconds. Doppelganger turns his blood-red stare towards me and sends a giant fist flying my way. I duck under it and roll to safety. The floor where I was a second ago is now a gaping hole.
    The rest of the Star League spring into action. Connor leaps up with a snarl and swipes his razorsharp claws at Doppelganger’s face. Doppelganger shrieks in pain and throws Connor to the ground. Sam zaps Doppelganger’s enormous leg with a burst of electricity, but all it does is make the giant even angrier. He kicks out at Sam.
    Leigh is standing to one side, concentrating. I hear a pinging sound at the window, and as I turn to look, the glass shatters. Thousands of wasps fly in through the broken window, stingers at the ready.
    They swarm around Doppelganger and sting him, but what would be excruciating for a human is just a small annoyance for the giant.
    He swats them away, but while he’s dealing with the wasps Roger runs up and tosses an acid potion at the monstrous man. Doppelganger leaps out the way as the acid splatters and eats through the floorboards.
    â€˜Enough of these distractions!’ Doppelgangerholds up the seventh Shadow Shard in his enormous fist and sends out a powerful shockwave. It crashes into
