#in BEING a clone. like yes he could've always known from the start and that comes with its own set of issues BUT. just. him not knowing

[starry-bi-sky]

do yall ever think about bruce/batman!clone danny standing in front of his bathroom mirror after finding out he was a clone and silently tracing his face. The slope of his jaw and point of his chin. The high angle of his cheekbones and the shape of his eyes, the curve of his brow bones and the shape of his nose. The volume of his hair and the way it curls and gets fluffy when it gets too long.

His hair is black the same way a crow's wing is black. His dad's hair is black the same way a black bear's fur is black. His dad's eyes are blue like the ocean is blue. Danny's eyes are blue the same way a glacier is blue.

His dad has a square jaw and straight flat hair, and he tans and gets a face full of freckles when he's out in the sun for too long. Danny burns like a lobster and his face remains untouched. Danny has a sharp jaw and tall cheekbones, and Sam says when he's not smiling there's almost something regal about him. You would never call Jack Fenton "regal" when he's not smiling.

Sam says when he's not smiling he looks scary the same way a stone statue is. Jack Fenton when he's not smiling looks scary the same way that german shepherd staring at you across the street is.

Do you ever think he grew up wondering if he was adopted. Because of course, he has black hair and blue eyes like his dad. But having the same color doesn't make you someone's child.

Or, worse, things he's heard from the other kids and the other parents and even some of his teachers growing up; that he was the product of an affair. And that his dad was just too stupid to notice. And Danny would defend his parents until the day he died, because Jack Fenton wasn't an idiot and Maddie Fenton wasn't a cheater.

But doubt comes in with fickle tongue. his parents swear up and down that he is their child when he asks about either. That Danny just had his grandparents' features, but he was their son and they loved him.

But Danny doesn't look like either of his parents. His mom's eyes are blue like an aquamarine and Jazz's too. And they burn like lobsters in the sun too, but Jazz gets freckles on her face and so does Maddie. And as Danny grows up he doesn't bulk up or get stocky like his dad did, and when he hits puberty he doesn't shoot up like a tree like Jack Fenton did.

He stays small, and they say he's a late bloomer (and he is), or that he just has his mom's height. But he's fast and has good stamina, and some days it feels like he's built entirely different from his family. That the things they went through growing up just didn't apply to him. Jack and Maddie Fenton both had acne and breakouts when they hit puberty, and Jazz inherits it and he's seen the amount of skincare products she keeps on her side of the bathroom.

And then he hits puberty and breaks out maybe once or twice, but his skin stays clear for the most part and the problems and changes his dad went through just don't happen to him.

And the truth is worse than all of the lies.

How horrifying.

My outrage given voice: The Shittenou were done so dirty!

It's very damn annoying to me and I hate it! Why the hell were the Shittenou not given a chance for a 'normal' life like Usagi wished for in the 90's anime; especially with the implication of the time of the first season repeating for the second and thus meant that they hadn't been nabbed for Beryl's/Metallia's purposes? Or even in the manga/reboot rather than kept as the stones they became after their deaths?

Like, what thoughts went into that? Why were the various relationships of the Shittenou changed so drastically, and not just between each other but their Prince and their Love Interests too? Especially when Mamo got a, technically, third chance to be with Usa after the first season's finale. The girls themselves have other love interests, I know, but you'd think that they'd at least be given the option to see if they were still compatible and part (hopefully) amicably if they weren't, rather than just have the view that they'll never have love or even a family. And, no, I don't count the "Parallel" world of the manga because it seems that they're right proper clones of their mothers rather than their own persons with thoughts, feelings and dreams like Chibi is. Yes, she's annoying and a frickin' Obnoxious Brat, but at least with that we know she's not Usa's clone just with pink hair and red eyes.

I remember watching the show growing up and never, not once, thinking they used to be love interests of the Senshi during the SilMil. Just that they were at the front of the invading army once that episode aired. Not to mention how my perceptions were fucked with beforehand because two of the four were in a relationship with each other (after one of them had been 'gender-bent'. Just...why?!) and a third was romancing a side character that had disappeared after the one episode she was in during the third season. Hell, the only reason I found out Sen/Shi was a Thing was due to the internet a while after watching the 'last' (for the North America viewing audience) episode of the fourth season. That pissed me right the fuck off.

I believe that shouldn't have happened. They could've done so much foreshadowing, maybe even a bit of character development, about the tragedy that would've been the Shittenou being killed off as the season went on once the SilMil's Last Day came about.

Like, think about it.

With Jad's constant disguises and schemes, it could've been that Rei, being a trained Miko, always seemed to find and flirt with him, because he was cute no matter his disguises, and then get mad about it because why?! is it always him?! she does that with?! The fuck?! And Jad's just like, 'How the hell does she keep doing this?!' before putting together that she must be an informer to the Senshi with the way they always show up when she does so he tries to keep her distracted in one form or another so his youma can do its job because she's too passionate and fiery to want to hurt or drain despite getting in his way so much. Beryl actually kills him off after his showdown with the Senshi, not listening when he says how he knows who they are, instead of being iced for his constant failures. (I never did get why he was singled out like that.)

With Neph's civilian identity of Sanjoin Masato, instead of Naru being the 'victim' of his 'manipulations', Makoto could've been brought in earlier and get to experience being treated like the young woman she is despite how other guys were put off by her strength and stature and just discovered she could transform just as or after he died. He still dies to Zoi's schemes but it's because, due to being around his Lady so much more than Jad was with Rei, he's starting to question what once he hadn't, especially if some dormant memories he hadn't known about break loose from their shadowy bonds, and so Beryl made out to her General that he was defecting or losing sight of their goals so she didn't have to get her hands dirty with killing another General as she had with Jad She is a wanna-be-Tyrant/Usuper with Metallia backing her but she doesn't want to look like one. That doesn't align with her goals.

With Zoi, 'cause I found it real annoying that only he could extract the Nijizuishou when the Moon Wand could also track them down but not get them out, Ami could've used her palmtop to scan whatever residue might've been left on the Wand, to also help look for the Carriers as Zoi did the same with his own tracking crystal. It could go that, because she does take her duties as a Senshi seriously and she's not all about school/studying despite her grades and work ethic and she's gonna prove it, she might get in trouble for 'stalking' while Zoi's just wondering what this cute but annoying brat is doing following him where she could get hurt - the Great Demon he awoke might very well kill her! - when in all reality she's trying to get close to the Carrier but this jerk-wad with the beautiful blond waves, because those are not curls as far as I'm concerned, in a ponytail keeps getting in her way! Shenanigans are had where they try to outsmart, trick or distract each other to get to the Nijizuishou first without outing themselves or her comrades. Zoi's killed by Beryl because when Ren's revealed and Zoi takes that hit with the Ginzuishou it purified him and left him unconscious, like Mamo is later in the season, and so taken to be "healed". I was thinking of how she seemed to be the one most hovering over Mamo while he was being converted to their side. She heard Zoi's fevered ramblings after being purified of the DK's taint, heard him talk about how 'This is wrong. We're loyal to Dymi, not Beryl. We serve a Prince that'll become King, not a Queen already coronated. Where is he?' and made plans because she'd rather lose the General than waste the energy re-brainwashing him while Mamo is also being brainwashed while being healed of his wound. Besides, she could reason with herself, Zoi is the reason her precious Prince was in his current state, no matter what he was thinking at the time, so why try to keep him? Kunzite's not a witness, just told in the aftermath that Zoi died due to complications of whatever the newly revealed Princess had done to him to leave him weakened and "delusional". That way Kunz is kept low-key scared of what the Princess might be able to do to him if she caught him in a moment of weakness, distraction or off guard. So that he never stuck around long enough or kept far to the back so that he wasn't healed even accidentally.

With Kunz, well... we all kinda-sorta saw how many times Minako seemed to fall into his traps meant to nab Usa, not to mention their own history while she was in London. And he's killed as in canon because he would not be tricked by the images and lies the Witches from the Sky tried to force into his head, an unintended side-effect of how the SilMil's Last Day was shown, especially regarding her (Venus), into betraying his Liege; completely unaware that he, technically, already has!

Mini Fanfic #868: The Edgelords Finally Meet (SSBU X Kingdom Hearts)

12:12 p.m. at the Direct Smash Mall.....

Dark Pit: (Walking Around the Mall While Looking Through the Pictures of Pit and Sora Together) ('Ugh') Look at them..... Acting like a bunch happy go lucky dorks....And people say I'm Pit-Stain's twin? Hell, if the new guy could grow his own wings, then he'll be related to us in a heartbeat. But....he is making the idiot happy....A lot happier than he always been, but that's whatever anyways. But If he really is as nice as everyone kept saying he is, then....('Sigh') I guess it wouldn't kill me to-

'BUMP'

His lack of attention towards the direction he's walking caused Dark Pit and another figure to accidentally bump into each other in the ground.

'THUD'

?????: (Sighs While Getting Himself Up) Mine watching where you're going, genius?

Dark Pit: (Groans While Doing the Same) Speak for yourself, du- Huh? (Starts Raising an Eyebrow in Confusion at the Sight of the Boy Who Almost Exactly Like.....) Sora? Is that you?

?????: ('Tch') Please. I'm not even close to being similar to that idiot. (Gives Dark Pit a Cocky Smirk) The name's Vantias.

Dark Pit: Vantias? So like what? You're his twin or something?

Vantias: Not really. We just look almost similar to one another. The reason behind all of that is already complicated enough as it is, so let just say that I'm the more.... superior version of him. (Starts Noticing the Wings on Dark Pit's Back) And I take it from those wings of yours that you're related to that Pit guy who lost in one death battle episode a while back.

Dark Pit: ('Sigh') To some extent..... My name's Dark Pit and I-

Vantias: Woah woah woah woah. Hang on a second. Your name is "Dark Pit"?

Dark Pit: (Raised an Eyebrow Once More) Yeah. What about it?

Vantias: Oh it's nothing. Just thinking about how bland it is.

Dark Pit: (Eyes Widened For a Brief Second Before Glaring at Vantias) Pardon?

Vantias: You heard me. You have most lamest, generic name I've ever heard in my life. It's like you wanted to be known as the dark clone of the original.

Dark Pit: Well, you're the one to talk, asshole! And what kind of name is "Vantias" is suppose to be anyways? Darkness or whatever? I bet you named it yourself to try to look more edgy and "superior" than your original!

Vantias: On the contrary, smartass, my former master/creator, Xehanort gave me that name. And in case you realllly wanna what the name means, it's latin for "Vanity" and symbolises death.

Dark Pit: ...................Shit. That actually sounds cool.

Vantias: (Starts Smirking Again) It is. And it's already leagues better than yours.

Dark Pit: So your name is better than mines, big deal! It doesn't change the fact that you're a carbon copy of your original!

Vantias: Hey, don't blame me cause I was born this way. I could've have any form I want if Sora or Ventus' heart a wasn't in the way at the time. Meanwhile, you're just a literal mirror copy of a guy who couldn't even read!

Dark Pit: Hey! The only one who gets to insult my brother's intelligence is me alone, you hot topic reject!

Vantias: Says the guy who's wearing pajamas in public.

Dark Pit: I didn't have the chance to change back at the house, alright!?

Vantias: (Shrugs) Whatever. Your name still sucks though.

Dark Pit: Enough with name jabbing already! That's not even my real one to begin with!

Vantias: Oh really? Then what it is then?

Dark Pit: It's!....Uh....Uhhh.....

Vantias: You forgot what is it or something?

Dark Pit: NO! I know what my own name is! It's....uhh.....uhhhhhh....('Sighs Very Heavily') ......itto.

Vantias: What?

Dark Pit: It's Pitto......

Vantias: I'm sorry. But could you at least try to speak up? I can't hear you over your muttering-

Dark Pit: IT'S PITTO! OKAY!? P-I-T-T-O! PITTO!

'Silence'

Vantias: .......So that's your real name. Pitto.

Dark Pit: (Gritting Through his Teeth) Yes....

Vantias: Well, I'll be damned.....(Starts Smirking Yet Again) You're even more lamer than I thought you would be.

Dark Pit: (Gives Vantias an Intense Glare) Bet you won't be saying that again once I start kicking you sorry ass into submission!

Vantias: Oh! So you actually wanna pick a fight with me, right here?

Dark Pit: Yeah! I do!

Vantias: Without that.... double bladed bow of yours that you usually use in battle or something?

Dark Pit: It's silver bow, smartass. And yeah....(Starts Cracking His Knuckles Before Getting into a Fighting Stance) I can manage just fine without it.

Vantias: ('Sigh') Alright. Since you're THAT sure about it.....(Starts Cracking His Neck Twice Before Pounding His Fist Towards the Palm of his Hand) I'll try not to hurt you too badly.

Dark Pit: Ditto.

Without any hesitation from either sides, Dark Pit and Vantias begins to rush over towards one another to deliver the first punch. That is until two loud and very familiar voices made the both of them stop in their tracks immediately.

?????: VANTIAS!!!

?????: PITTO!!!!!

Vantias: Oh no........(Noticed Namine and Ventus are a Few Inches Behind Him on his Side)

Namine: What did we say about not getting into fights!?

Ventus: And not causing any trouble here. (Makes his Way Towards the Duo While Taking a Sip of his Drink)

Dark Pit: Shit......(Noticed Misako and Kyoko Standing Behind Him on his Side)

Misako: I know you're not getting into any fights without the two us backing you up!!

Kyoko: (Pouts at Pitto Before Making her Way to Him Along With Misako) Yeah, Pitto-Kins! We're supposed to be a team! Also, no fighting in malls. It's rude.

Vantias: (Starts Snickering at the Dark Angel) Your nickname is Pitto-Kins?

Dark Pit: (Glares Back at Vantias) Shut it before I cave your face in-

Ventus: Guys, seriously! Could you two please be rational and not do anything that could get all of us kicked out here!?

Kyoko: (Puts On the Puppy Dog Look) Pleeeeeaseee?~

Vantias/Dark Pit: (Stares at Their Respective Companions for a Brief Second Before Sighing in Defeat) Fiiine.....(Grumbles While Walking Back to Their Respective Sides)

Namine: (Bows Down at the Two Girls In Front of Her) I am so sorry about Vantias. He didn't mean to start any trouble with your angel friend.

Vantias: Well.

Ventus: Dude.

Vantias: ('Sigh') I didn't mean it.......

Misako: (Smiles Sheepishly at the Blonde Haired Girl) Hey, don't worry about it. If anything....(Rest her Arm Onto Dark Pit's Shoulder) We should be apologizing for our babe's behavior here too. He hardly ever get into a y fights as much compared to the three of us.

Dark Pit: (Shrugs) That is kinda true.

Namine: Oh. (Smiles Softly) Are the three of you in a relationship with one another?

Kyoko: (Happily Nodded While Hugging Dark Pit's Other Arm) That's right!~ We're like three peas in pod! Ooh! Are the three of you dating each other as well?

Ventus abruptly begins to spit out the soda he was drinking on the floor before coughing up the storm. All while Namine starts patting him on the back to help him cough quicker.

Vantias: What the coughing windbag om my right here is trying to say here is that we are not dating one another. We're siblings.

Namine: (Nodded in Agreement) It's true. And Vantias already has his eyes set on a certain someone back home.

Vantias: (Already Has a Deadpinned Look on his Face) Olette and I are not dating, Namine.

Namine: (Gives Vantias a Playful Pout) But you two have been spending more time together as of late!~

Vantias: It's cause we like each other's company. It doesn't automatically mean we have a thing for one another.

Namine: ('Sigh') Perhaps.....You will be soon enough......

Vantias: What was that?

Namine: N-Nothing!

Kyoko: Ooooooooh! That makes a lot of sense now. (Giggles a Bit Awkwardly) Sorry about that.

Vantias: Eh. It's fine. So you mind telling us who you are or.....

Kyoko: (Smiles Brightly Again) My name is Kyoko!~

Misako: Mines is Misako. And I'm pretty sure you've already met our stubborn boyfriend here, Pitto.

Dark Pit: 'Sup.

Vantias: Lit. Well, in case you two wanna know yourselves, my name is Vantias.

Namine: (Smiles Brightly) I'm Namine!~

Ventus: (Was Panting a Few Times Before Sighing and Raising his Hand Up) Mine is Ventus....

Kyoko: Wait. Vantias..... Namine..... Ventus......('GASPS') Are you one of Sora's many friends!?

Namine: (Happily Nodded) Mmhmm. We're actually looking for him as we speak. Do you three have any idea where he would be at the moment?

Dark Pit: Yeah. He's at mansi-

??????: (From a Distance) HEYYYYYY! GUYYYYS!

??????: VEN! NAMINE! VANTIAS!

The gang turns their heads to see Aqua, Terra, Roxas, Xion, and the Phantom Thieves making their way to them together.

Futuba: There you guys are!

Aqua: We were looking everywhere for you six. Did something happened here?

Ventus: Vantias almost got into a fight.

Vantias: (Immediately Glares at Ventus) You snitch!

Ventus: Hey. You know I can't lie to Terra and Aqua! I was raised better than that.

Vantias: Yeah, but-

Terra: (Already Giving Vantias a Fatherly Glare) Vantias.... is what Ven said is the truth?

Aqua: (Place her Hands on her Hips While Giving Vantias a Motherly Glare) And don't even think about trying to lie to us, young man.

Vantias: ('Sighs in Utter Defeat') It's the truth.......(Points at Dark Pit) I almost fought him earlier.

Dark Pit: (Immediately Glares at Vantias in Disbelief) L-Leave me out if this!!

Makoto: Pitto.....

Dark Pit turns to see Makoto giving him the famous Cold Niijima Glare.

Makoto: Did you almost gotten to a fight with him?

Ren: I wouldn't try and lie to her if I were you. (Pulls Out his Phone) Unless you want me tell our moms all about it.

Dark Pit: ('Sighs in Utter Defeat') Noooo.....I did almost got into a fight with him earlier......

Makoto: (Simply Nodded) Thank you for your honesty. We'll talk more about this once we get back home.

Aqua: (Nodded in Agreement) As will we. In the meantime....(Turns to Ren) You said that you know where the Smash Mansion is located?

Ren: Yep. It'll be a pretty long walk to get there once we leave out of here. But luckily for you folks.....(Pulls Out a Dimensional Ring and Drops it on the Ground Causing it To Expand to it's Larger Size)

Younger Keyblade Warriors: Woooooooah.........

Ren: (Puts on a Smirk on his Face) We have a shortcut.

To Be Continued......
