The organs on the floor ripped apart, and a foul, emerald gas emerged. The gas floated toward the doppelgänger. On contact, Paul started to shake violently. Then, the pasty skin of the doppelgänger emanated smoke. The grotesque sight of melted, oozing skin became a reality. The outer shell of flesh liquefied, leaving the doppelgänger with nothing but visible muscle. Raw tendons stretched across his body, his heart still pulsating behind his ribcage. The muscle started to then tear apart, generating a ripping sound that echoed throughout the room.
Instead of solid, white bone behind the muscular layer, there was the slightly transparent figure of a jade outline. The sight was practically discernible. Iban, with keen eyes, however, managed to make out the dripping ectoplasm from the corner of the monstrous mouth.
It had no eyes, but a massive mouth stretching over its body. A ghostly-like whisper was barely audible, but Iban managed to decipher the words.
“Before you is the true form of a doppelganger.”

This was part of a "continue-the-story" contest, so that's why it's left on a cliff-hanger. Someone continued it after me.
