Kaitou Joker

Fates Rewritten

"Jack!" Cyan yelled, waking up from his nightmare in sweat.

Ten years, ten years to try to forget, but it still came every year.

"Cyan!" His room's door burst open, revealing a very worried Rose, Roko and Queen, they noticed him and bit their lower lip. "Again, huh…?"

Cyan put his hands on his twin scars on his eyes, "Yeah."

Ten years ago, they were just five, innocent little children, everything was just fine, Jack, Queen, King training, finding Roko, the promise of Ai.

Until when Jack pulled a prank on his master, Silver Heart, everything went downhill in a flash.

"Jack!" The white haired man yelled, determined to catch the little runt who tied his hair on his bed. "You'll get half portions for dinner for a month!"

"Haha!" Jack laughed mischievously, he grabbed his bag at night and crept away. "Mission runaway a success."

Then his tummy growled, "Man, I am hungry."

He rushed out to a little dirt path but to be startled by a cart with two children his age.

"Ah!" He yelled, and backflipped onto a tree behind. "Watch it!"

The blue and pink haired children look at him in awe, then the blue kid yelled, "You were the one to get in the path!"

A crack was heard from the tree, and the branch where Jack was standing collapsed. "Ah!"

"Watch out!" He heard, he braced for impact on a rock he was about to fall to, but it never came. "What?" He saw he was engulfed in by a pink light, floating in midair with his belongings.

"Rose, don't use your power, it could kill you!" The blue boy told his sister to stop this… Trickery?

Jack fell to the ground landing on his head.

"Big brother, I'm fine!" The pink girl assured, panting a bit.

"Wow! How did you do that? Can I do that? Can you teach me how to do that?!" Jack's eyes sparkled with curiosity and amazement.

"No, you can't," The blue boy said sternly. "That power belongs to Rose alone."

"So, your name's Rose, huh?" Jack asked. "A fitting name."

"You need to forget everything you saw just now," The blue boy continued. "I'm Cyan."

"Are you twins?" Jack asked as they sat near a stream.

"Yes," The said spontaneously.

"What food do you like the best?"

"Apple pie!"

"What's your favourite animal?"

"Definitely the big panda!"

"What do you do on your day offs?"

"Um… Sleep in?"

"Hahaha! This is so cool!" Jack laughed and stumbled on his rock he was sitting, his stomach growled. "Heh, heh."

"You can come eat at our village," Rose offered. "I need to show you something."

"Wow! This place is cool!" Jack exclaimed at he witnessed the large cave with ancient drawings.

"This is the drawings of the ancient witches," Rose explained, pointing to the carvings. "That, is the staff of Kairos, the staff can control the witch that controls time."

"Every few decades, a witch is born," Cyan said. "You need to promise that you need to forget what you saw."

"Do you have siblings?" Rose asked Jack, while riding to the village on their cart.

"No, but I do have partners that I train with," Jack said. "My dream is to become a phantom thief!"

"Wow, that's awesome! Having partners…" Rose thought.

"Nah, no it's not! One time he replaced my tea with dipping sauce…" Jack growled under his breath,

"Dipping sauce?" Rose asked.

"No, no! It's nothing!" Jack quickly shook his hands to deny the fact.

Jack's phone started to ring, and he picked it up and saw who the caller was. "Oh, it's one of my partners!"

"Hello?" Jack asked, but got an ear deafening reply.

"Jack, grandpa found out your secret! He's coming right to your location!" Queen said in his room, with the dummy and King laughing super hard.

"Ah!" Jack shook with fear, he looked at Rose and Cyan who was confused with the conversation he had, a light bulb hit his head.

"Why do I have to wear your clothes?" Cyan asked, looking at the outfit he had been forced to put on.

"You two look so alike!" Rose exclaimed, while Jack putting blue hairspray on his white hair.

The three took a picture with a very awkward Cyan, and Rose chuckled.

"I'm going to show this to the village!" Rose said, then a sound like running was heard.

"Jack!" The white haired man yelled, mistaking Cyan for Jack, he scooped him up and running away, saying something like, "You'll get ten times extra training!"

"Will big brother be okay?" Rose asked dumbfounded on their way to the village.

"Yeah, he'll be fine, I'll sneak back later," Jack said, and his stomach growled again. "Can we eat first?"

"Sure!" Rose said.

"I said I want to be a phantom thief, but I haven't figured out my name yet," Jack said.

"Name, huh?" Rose thought, holding a card with her magic into her hand. "How about Joker?"

"Joker, huh?" Jack thought. "I think I'll, use it!"

The horse that was pulling the cart suddenly started fidgeting, "Easy, girl, easy!" Rose tried to calm the creature down, but it has only gotten worse.

"What happened?!" Jack yelled at the sight of a burning village.

"We have to go see!" Rose said.

They ran into the burning village recklessly, but found only ashes of the houses.

"Elder!" Rose went beside the fallen adult, who desperately tried to get the words out.

"They attacked the village, and stole the staff of Kairos," The man coughed, and passed out again.

"Find the witch that controls time!" The words echoed through Jack's mind, there was one thing to do, get Rose out of here.

"We have to go!" Jack said, pulling Rose back. "They're after you!"

They ran on a bridge, surrounded by men with masks, Jack threw a card out of instinct and grazed the man's mask. "Little runt!"

"Capture the witch!" A man ordered.

"Faster! Faster!" Silver Heart yelled.

"I'm not Jack! I'm Cyan!"

King and Queen laughing from a side thinking this is just another prank.

"He should really think of better lies huh?" They laughed, but shocked to see 'Jack', fell into a puddle of water.

"What are you doing?" Silver Heart asked, and surprised to see a blue haired boy stick out.

"I am Cyan!" Cyan cried out.

"Rose, stand back," Jack silently said to Rose, backing up, he looked at the mask, remembering a shadow from his own childhood.

"Professor Clover?!" Jack yelled, suddenly getting afraid. "S-stay back!"

"Ah, you again, runt, you were hard to kill!" Clover said, and fired an electric blast where Jack was standing, but he dodged instantly with Rose.

He kept firing blasts at them, making each jump harder and harder, Clover, impressed by the boy's skills, even with such little training, he began to lose interest of the witch.

He changed his target, not to Jack, but to Rose. "Rose!"

Time has stopped, not because of Rose's powers, it stopped for the incoming Silver Heart, Queen, King, Cyan and Rose.

Rose opened her eyes to see the sacrificial lamb that just saved her, she wished she hadn't…

"Jack…" Rose whimpered, looking at the fallen silver haired boy, the brown wooden bridge was stained red, along with Jack's silver hair.

"Run…" That was the last words that Jack said to Rose.

"Jack!" King yelled out to his fallen companion.

Queen was in tears, she couldn't believe that this happened at all, her friend, her brother…

Dead…?

"Jack…?" Rose cried out, to the fallen boy. "Please answer me…"

"Clover," Silver Heart growled, clenching his fist. "You will pay!"

He was about to charge at the masked man, but the area was covered in smoke.

"JACK!" They all yelled, and the last voices he could hear before falling completely into darkness.

"Jack…" Cyan said to himself, looking at the photo years ago, illuminated by the moonlight itself, tears fell to the frame, and looking at his wardrobe, hanging a purple suit, a hat and a cape, with a cape on it.

He wanted to honor his fallen friend's legacy, but he's too heartbroken to be called a light Joker, not even Joker, he's too broken hearing those words.

He became, Shadow Joker, the dark side of a Joker...
