A Lost Clone in a New Land.
‘You really think you can defeat me, real thing!? Newsflash, I’m the real and perfect Kairi! Not you, coward!’
‘I won’t lose… I WON’T!!!’
‘T-the darkness… No, no… I don’t want to go!’
‘I want to be with you… p-please… save me… R-roxas…’
‘I’m scared… scared of the darkness… please… save me, R-roxas!’
‘ROXAS!’
Her pale-complexed eyelids opened wide for her blue eyes to scan the surroundings around her – it was dark… very dark and green? A forest of somekind…?
Releasing a groan, she sat up while rubbing her fingers through her short auburn red hair and wondering where she was. It was clear that this was somekind of forest but where exactly? Was this Twilight Town – more specifically the courtyard of that old abandoned mansion? It didn’t seem like it.
It was then that she realized that she was still alive and breathing which meant one thing – she had survived her encounter with… the real Kairi (her original persona) yet she didn’t have a clue on where she was right now.
Didn’t matter since all it did was made her sad and depressed at her current situation. So close… she was this close to securing victory in besting her original persona and becoming her own person yet the outcome ended in her defeat and death. It didn’t help that Roxas couldn’t save her and let her perish into the darkness.
She felt like crying and letting out her frustrations but couldn’t since she wasn’t a real person nor her own separate being. She was a goddamn CLONE! A clone who had her memories rewritten and forced into a pointless battle! It made her so angry…
Everyone had used her and then tossed her like garbage. Only one cared about her and that was Roxas – yet he wasn’t here now. It was just her… alone and without a purpose. At least she was far away from Castle Oblivion.
Releasing a sigh to herself, she stood up and pulled out a star charm that was given to her by a Roxas – a sign of their ‘friendship/affection’ for one another even if it was false. “I’ll miss you… Roxas. I don’t care if everything was false or if I was forced to have my memories rewritten… I’m keeping this charm no matter what – a token of our ‘relationship’. Goodbye…” She whispered sadly to herself before pocketing the charm back.
Now though where would she go next? First, she needed to escape from this forest and find out where she was. Easier said than done.
A soft gust of wind blew into her body and she began to shiver. She looked at her clothes and groaned once more when she realized that she was wearing her original persona’s casual clothes:
A black top underneath a white one, purple bike shorts that were hidden by a purple skirt being held all together by a blue belt and two white slip-on shoes/sandals with purple caps that adorned her feet. She also came to notice that the copied accessories of her original were still there - the black choker was on her neck, the yellow wristband along with the purple armband on her left arm and two bracelets on the right. Finally, the necklace with the silver bead was there as well.
Damned Vexen for not giving her a proper wardrobe when creating her… from this angle, she was looking like a doll that would be played by a small child or something similar to that.
Another gust of wind blew once more and she shivered yet again. She needed to get to some place warmer before she froze to death… literally. Then she would be able to-
Suddenly, she felt a huge pain coming from her chest and screamed while grabbing. “Ah-ah! M-my replicated heart… it’s hurting… th-the light! Ah-ah!” She yelled in pain.
When Vexen created her, the scientist gave her a cloned fake heart to keep track of her movements and also make sure that she remained loyal to the members stationed in Castle Oblivion. In addition, he also imputed a little fail-save in case she tried to use the light as her weapon – if light or anything was registered in her heart instead of darkness, the two sides would clash and eventually kill her.
That was what was happening to her right now – the light inside of her heart was clashing with the darkness… and it was hurting her so back. It began to get bigger which made her scream. “Ah-ah! My heart… it hurts so bad!”
She needed to do something before it the light overwhelmed her heart and killed her instead of this damn cold. “I… need to get away… I need to- AH-AH!” She screamed once more as the light inside of her continued to grow.
The pain was too much for her to handle. She was feeling weaker and was about to die soon unless she did something to-
She gasped upon realizing what she needed to do – darkness. She needed to channel her darkness NOW!
Her replicated heart continued to hurt due to the light but she got up slowly while breathing deeply and trying to ignore the pain that continued inside of her. Taking a deep breath, she concentrated and then yelled. “DARKNESS!”
A dark aura appeared around her before wrapping itself all over her body and forming a blackish-blue muscle tissue bodysuit with a heart-styled logo on the purple-blue colored chest while the black faded to red around the wrists which exposed a pair of purple gloves that were tucked under the suit along with a cloth with an off-white color that faded into dark purple and it was also ripped at the bottom which was held by a dark purple belt and purple boots with black soles.
Once the suit had been formed, the aura was gone and the pain inside her chest (mainly, her replicated heart) stopped all of a sudden. It made her sigh in relief since she was close to death and she didn’t want that right now – not when she had just woken up in a new place and free from the manipulations of her creator and the rest of the Organization.
However, that relief soon turned into sadness due to having to rely on the darkness and wearing this damned bodysuit… but at least she wasn’t dead. Not yet anyways…
She sighed once more to herself before speaking. “For the time being, I have to stay in the suit lest I want to perish due to the light and darkness crashing…”
She really didn’t want to be classified as a creature of darkness but what else was she? She was a clone – nothing more, nothing else. She had no purpose, no direction, no future. But at least she was free from Castle Oblivion… that’s something.
“At least this place isn’t the castle or the illusions… I need to find out where I am and decide what to do next. Shame that Roxas broke my memories, some dark-typed spells could come in handy right now.” She commented to herself.
Speaking of the darkness, she pulled out her left hand and concentrated. In a flash of darkness, she summoned a complete copy of the reddish-purple and blue demonic sword Soul Eater. “Well, at least I still have something to defend myself in case the locals here are… unfriendly.” She said that last part with a shiver due to remembering about Larxene and her sadistic moments.
Dismissing Soul Eater, she took a deep breath before heading forward and searching for a way out of this dark forest. If there was an exit, she would be able to find it… plus, trying to regain some of her dark-styled abilities and spells.
And with that, the replica of Kairi/Kairi Replica, proceeded forward in the Everfree Forest in search of freedom… and a purpose in her fake life.
If Kairi was in Riku's role, then who was in Kairi's role? Riku? Does that make Roxas this AU's Namine? Is Kairi still Sora's love interest or are Riku and Sora gay in this AU? Are Riku and Sora even still male in this AU? Who is the Key of Destiny in Organization 13 if Roxas is Namine? If Kairi touched Aqua's Keyblade and Terra preformed the inheritance ritual on Riku, then what Sparked Sora getting his own Keyblade? Was Kairi going to acquire her Keyblade the night the Islands were destroyed and it was her Keyblade that was redirected to Sora with the help of Ventus' heart? Does Namine exist at all in this AU?
AHHHHH, SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!! I MUST HAVE ANSWERS!
10396064
1. Nah, it's Sora. Riku is the Chosen One.
2. Yep. Roxas is our Namine in this.
3. I'd say the real Kairi and Riku are in love with Sora... so in a way, SoRiku.
4. Namine is the Key of Destiny.
5. Still have to figure out some things.
6. Yep. She was... yet darkness forbade her.
7. Yep. She exists.
10396102
OK, so if Riku is the Chosen One, then is he carrying Ventus' heart? That only raises further questions as to how Sora wound up with his own Keyblade.
Sora/Riku/Kairi ship...this is OK.
Namine was created when Kairi's heart left her body to take refuge in Sora. The body then took on characteristics of Sora, Kairi, and Ventus which resulted in Namine looking the way she does. So if Sora is the one who wound up taking refuge in Riku's heart, then is Namine still female? Where does Xion fit into all of this? If Namine is still female, do she and Axel end up dating? If she's male, do they date anyway?
Wait...how did Kairi get corrupted by Darkness if she's a Princess of Heart? Or are they Princes of Heart in this AU? Or is Sora female? If Kairi isn't a Princess of Heart, how did she survive her trip between Radiant Garden and Destiny Islands?
I mean, my own headcanon with Princesses of Heart is that to maintain some semblance of balance, their Souls are pure Darkness to keep their Hearts of pure Light from screwing with their brains so they can have somewhat normal personalities. Feel free to take that if it helps.
10396124
1. Nah... in the BBS Roleswap - I believe that Aqua is inside Riku's heart.
Aqua is Ventus;
Terra is Aqua;
Ven is Terra.
2. Yep. Namine is still female - both light and darkness and all that. Xion also appears as well. Her role remains the same. Nah, they don't date sadly. They're just friends. Xion and Namine though - those two do.
3. Sora is a male and its Prince of Hearts. And no Kairi ain't a Princess in this or full light. Neutral - light/darkness.
4. If I can find some use, sure.
I hope I explained it well... apologies if mistakes are made.
10396156
Now I really want to see Ansem Seeker of Darkness as a kid with twigs for arms.
Namine and Xion dating... this is a ship I never realized I needed before now.
Now I'm left to wonder who the other Princes of Heart are... Philip, Stitch ( ), Prince Charming, uhhhh... I have no more ideas for Princes of Heart...Arthur maybe? Prince Eric, Jim Hawkins... that makes seven. I'm gonna stick with the Stitch suggestion.
I think anything else important can wait until a little later down the road.
10396180
Glad you understand. ^^
BTW, what would you say to a Replica Kairi and Fluttershy pairing?
10396184
A Fluttershy and...hmm, I can't think of a good way to say replica kairi. Repliku is was so easy. Repliri? Anyway, this is what I think of the pairing:
i.pinimg.com/originals/0f/25/ee/0f25ee2d869ef533343ffaed0b830712.jpg
A sweet, sweet Fluttershy with a more rough and tumble Kairi. Oh, be still my beating heart~
10396212
Yay! ^_^
I'll make it a good one.
Also, I may or may not do a Sora Replica story as well. For the hell of it.
Any other replicas you want me to do stories on?
10396224
Aqua replica. Vexen is able to collect enough data from Aqua's keyblade and armor in the Chamber of Repose to make a replica of her. That would really screw with some heads~ Where Aqua is cool, calm, collected, sensible, and uptight, the Replica could be wild, uncontrolled, and free, only concerned with her own pleasure. A pure hedonist... at least until a pony can tame her.
edit: Or perhaps ponies?
10396243
Ooh, I love that idea.
Also, about a rogue bitchy Keyblade Wielder who hates life and only Twilight can save her... maybe even show her love? XD
10396243
Also, what kind of Aqua Replica exactly - normal one with her clothes - includes her armor and Darkness suit?
10396250
For an absolutely evil idea, you could make that bitchy rogue keyblade wielder Larxene. She could be a previous keyblade wielder or after she reconstructs post KH 3, she winds up in pony land, has her Dive to the Heart, and thru a mixture of showing Larxene who's boss and genuine kindness, Twilight wins her over.
10396255
If Vexen got the data off her armor and stuff, then she should have it and be able to store it like the real Aqua does. So both her normal clothes and her armor. I leave the choice of her having a Darkness Mode up to you.
10396256

Like so?
10396263
Any idea for a darkness mode? Just curious.
Wonder what a Displaced Namine would be like if she was in Equestria.
10396270
Displaced Namine would depend on how much the original person remembers of their former life, how much Namine's personality bleeds thru, the moral compass of the Displaced, and how much she wants to emulate Wallflower Blush.
Honestly, I wonder what it would be like to have a story about a Displaced Namine basically memory fucking all of Equestria to get what she wanted.
"I feel like having Twilight be my girlfriend" Modifies memories.
"I don't want Twilight anymore. How about Rainbow Dash?" Modifies memories.
"How's about a harem with all the Mane 6?" Modifies memories.
"I'm hungry." Modifies memories so she doesn't have to pay.
I think that would be a very interesting story. Either she keeps falling deeper into depravity or she eventually realizes what she's doing is wrong and repents for her crimes. Either way would be super interesting.
Edit: I'm also a sucker for TG Displaced stories. It adds a layer for the Displaced to deal with that I very much enjoy.
I'm not sure I understand the question. What do you mean when you ask if I have any idea for a Darkness Mode? Do you mean do I have ideas for a trigger or just if she should have it in general or something else?
That Larxene is pretty cute looking, but I think all the lightning bolts are a bit on-the-nose for my tastes.
10396281
1. Ooh, It would be cool XD
She could be like the Sora of Equestria - https://www.deviantart.com/reseliee/art/Namine-Sora-ish-outfit-DL-720057443
2. In general - for a design. Plus, a trigger of somekind - when she triggers it.
3. Sorry ^^"
My friend made this and I figured I'd use it.
4. I hope I'm not being a bother since you might be busy and such.
10396285
1. I am an insomniac! I am never bothered by interesting things! Wait... those two things don't necessarily go together... Anyway, the only time I'm consistently busy is Sundays at Noon. Other than that, I have no idea when I'll fall asleep and I don't have any particular plans other than writing, scheming about things to write, and browsing the internet. So if I don't respond to you for a length of time, it's probably because I've passed out at my keyboard, not because you're bothering me.
2.) I am not an artist by any stretch of the imagination. I dumped all my points into imagination and literary skills. The heights of my art is stick figures. I can offer triggers, however. A popular one is inflicting self-harm of some kind, like Erin of Attack on Titan who bites his hand to draw blood. You could also tie the trigger into her armor button, giving Aqua a choice of the Armor or Darkness Mode. Last but not least, you could tie it into some word or phrase.
3.) I'm not particularly a fan of putting models over each other and sanding it down to match the proportions of the character underneath. Or still 3d model art just in general. But again, my art skills are zero, so take my opinion with a grain of salt the size of Mt. Olympus. I've certainly seen much, much worse than the work your friend has done.
4.) Now I'm really tempted to write that Namine Displaced story, but I'm already juggling 3 stories and even I'm not insane enough to add a 4th to the lineup.
10396308
1. Fair enough. Don't worry.
2. Yep. That works.
3. I see.
4. I could do it though - maybe even a Displaced Sora or Displaced Xion.
10396317
I was mostly referring to being drawn to the mind fucking aspect a Namine Displaced could do. Sora and Xion Displaced could be cool, but I can't think of anything that would be particularly stunning or unique about either of them, unless they learned how to use their Keyblades to manipulate people's hearts.
10396326
True to that.
I might do a displaced Namine - one of these days.
10396334
I look forward to your next chapter
10396353
Thanks. ^^
Soon or a little later, I'll write it.
