Tamara whimpered hard as she started to come to. Her head felt like it was split open, and she was sure there was a trickle of blood down the back of her head. What had happened? The last thing she remembered was going on patrol just after classes, heading towards the general city outside of campus, when she saw a red glow coming from a nearby alley. And then a flash of pain and dark.

She groaned and tried to get up, but something seemed to be holding her fast. Her legs and arms felt stuck, twisted in positions that she couldn't move them even an inch.


"Ah. You're awake."

Tamara's ears perked as she tried to move to see who the voice was attached to, but she couldn't move, only lay there. It made her fur stand on her end anyway, as her tail poofed out.

"You're nice and trussed up... Shouldn't you be used to that by now?"

The voice was getting closer, sounding gruff and full of hostility, but sounded very familiar. Tamara blushed hard at the accusation, wriggling around in her bonds, trying to get purchase, but the feeling between her legs was distracting.

"I'm afraid there's no getting bailed out of this one by your friends this time."

The shadow walked forward to show a twisted version of Desert Dog. She was a little bigger and buffer, looking more feral of a coyote than DD did. Dressed in a fringed tribal skirt and halter top as well, but tighter and black in color, making the doppelganger look almost like a dominatrix. But what was worst of all was in her hand was Tamara's amulet!

The doppelganger laughed and thrust the amulet in Tamara's face. "What, this trinket? The source of your powers, right? Well, looks like it works for me as well... Guess that's the lone benefit to being part of you."

DD muffled out a worried yell as she was lifted bodily, draped over Tresed God's shoulders like a mink stole. "You know, I'm sure that Red Menace would love a stone-encased trophy of a little bitch. The only one who's fought her and lived? Or you know what... Maybe I'll start my own little empire." The room rumbled hard, as the clone's eyes and the amulet shone green. "Amazing what you can pull off when you talk to the earth and make it bend to your will. You've been all namby-pamby. I think it's time to use these damn powers and make this fucking country cough up what it stole. That Chinese bitch had a pretty damn good idea!"

The doppelganger laughed darkly while DD wriggled in her grasp, and they walked out into the night.

A fun picture I got some time ago, there was a small running theme with some of the heroines running into doppelgangers of themselves. There may still be a legit story in there somewhere, but for now, this is fun. I theoretically should be getting this colored, but for now, enjoy this piece from  TheBoundRaccoon
