Perfect Control

"Speaking"

'Thoughts'

A Duel

Padamiyan Continent

Luke walked until he found a suitable clearing. He started to stretch, loosening his muscles.

Legretta hid on a tree branch, watching the replica.

'What is he doing?' She thought to herself. Little did she know that Luke's "stretching" was a cover to look for her.

'She followed me.' Luke thought as he turned away from where she was hiding. 'Perfect.' Luke was about to start when a thought came to him.

'If this is gonna be a show.' Luke realized. 'Then I gotta do it right.'

With that he started stripping.

Legretta watched in shock as he threw his coat and gloves to the ground next to a tree, after that was his sword and revolver.

'Alright.' Luke thought as he turned around. 'Time to start.'

Luke started to bounce around in place, rolling his arms and shoulders as he did. He then started to throw punches and kicks in no specific order.

Legretta watched this with a critical eye.

'He's practicing hand to hand.' She realized, analysing his skill. 'He has some form, but he wouldn't match Sync or I.' She watched as he did a backhand with his right and a spin. When he stopped he brought his left hand to his right hip, out of her view.

Luke closed his eyes, letting himself be drawn to his power.

'It's time.' Luke thought as his eyes snapped open. He swung his left hand out as he created a cutlass. Luke slashed diagonally downwards from the left. He followed it full swing into a spin where he created a spear. He slashed with the spear as he completed the circle, following it with the cutlass. Luke then slashed to the left with the cutlass and followed it with the spear. As soon as the spear was past his body he spun it around and plunged it tip first into the ground.

Luke changed the cutlass into a staff, which he quickly did a figure eight strike with. He pulled the spear from the soil and turned it into a katana. With the katana he slashed left to right and back and finished it with a stab.

As soon as the thrust was finished he brought his hands together and created a huge scythe. He spun around twice, swing it like a bat. On the third turn he got rid of the scythe and created one of Tear's knives. When he stopped he threw the knife straight at Legretta, who moved behind the tree to dodge it.

'Did he see me?' She wondered with her back pressed against the rough tree bark. 'Or was it a coincidence?' She quickly peeked her head out to see the clearing.

Only to find nothing there.

Legretta turned around, confusion written on her face. She slowly turned and leaned against the tree.

'What was that?' she thought to herself as looked down at he feet. 'Was it some type of fonon control like the necromancer uses?' She was brought out of her musings when she felt a cold, steel barrel against her forehead.

"Looking for someone?" Luke asked her in a teasing voice as he held Innocence to her forehead. Legretta just stared back with no emotion, but her thoughts were going a mile a minute.

'How did he...' She dispelled those thoughts. 'No time for that.' She slowly reached for her guns, only to find that they weren't there. Her eyes widened with that realization, causing Luke to smirk.

"Looking for these?" Luke asked her as he took a few steps back, showing her fon-tech pistols were strung up on a branch higher up.

"What are you gonna do now Le-gret-ta?" Luke asked her with a smirk, slowly pronouncing each syllable of her name.

"How?" She asked more to herself than him.

"I can use hyperresonance to create or destroy anything I desire." Luke told her, not taking his revolver off her.

"So you were flying earlier." She mumbled quietly, yet Luke still heard her.

"Yep." Luke replied.

"And you also flew head first into my window."

"Yeah, not my proudest moment." Luke said as he used his other hand to scratch the back of his head.

"You also snuck up behind me, which means you can teleport too." Legretta realized as she remembered the flash of light. Luke nodded in response. "That leaves one thing, why are you telling me this?" she asked him. Luke just smirked back at her.

"That's simple." Luke told her with a smile as he pulled back his revolvers hammer. "You can't say anything if you're dead."

All Legretta did was stare at him with impassive eyes.

Luke just stared back, his hand never wavering, but then turned around and jumped off the branch. Legretta just watched him with confusion.

"Killing you like that has no honor." Luke said as he turned slightly to face her. "As a God-General there would be no greater insult. If I'm gonna kill you it will be after a battle I won using everything I had at my disposal, not because I caught you off guard."

"And what if I tell people what I saw?" Legretta asked him. Luke just snorted back.

"Who would believe you?" Luke asked in return. Legretta opened her mouth and closed it, not able to come up with a response.

"How many others know?" She asked him. Luke thought for a minute, wondering if it was safe to give out this info.

"Just my little sister and Claire." Luke said finally.

"Who's Claire?" Legretta asked, hoping for a lead.

"That would be telling." Luke told her as he wagged a finger. Legretta then turned around herself.

"Don't think this changes anything. We are still enemies." She told him with a tone of finality as she grabbed her pistols. She heard the sound of grass rustling. She half turned to see Luke facing her.

"I wouldn't have it anyother way." Luke told her as he snapped into a salute. "Major."

Legretta just shook her head and prepared to jump away. "Dismissed, replica."

Luke just laughed silently to himself as he turned to walk away, stopping to destroy and recreate his clothes on himself. But as he was about to take the first step an idea came to him.

A really interesting Idea.

Group Campsite

The group woke up at the same time, give or take, except for three.

Those three were Luke, Sarah and Mieu.

Luke was laying on the ground. While Sarah was piled, face down, on top of him. As Mieu was pressed between both of them.

It was a rather amusing sight.

"Someone should wake them up." Jade said in usual tone, already plotting ways to tease the red head.

"I say we leave them." Anise said in venomous voice, who had still had some distrust for Luke.

Guy just sighed as he walked over to the sleeping trio and crouched next to them.

"Time to wake up." He said as he lightly shook Luke. The shaking slightly disturbed Sarah, who latched onto the source.

Guy just sat there for a few moments, staring at the little girl on his arm.

Luke's eyes opened just as Guy pulled his arm out of the young females embrace and started to cower.

"Did I miss something?" Luke asked as he sat up, using one hand to rub his eyes and the other to hold Sarah and Mieu.

"Sarah touched Guy." Tear told him.

"Ah." Luke said in response, as that pretty much explained everything.

"To St Binah then?" Luke asked as he pulled a still sleeping Sarah on his back.

"Yes, we will try to evacuate the people before the continent sinks." Jade said as they started to walk towards the harbour. After a few minutes of walking, Luke decided to start a conversation.

"So uhh how are we gonna evacuate the people?" Luke asked. Everyone looked thoughtful for a second.

"Well, we get them out of the city." Anise said, thinking he was too stupid to realize what they had to do.

"Then what? Where do we take them?" Luke asked more specifically. This caused a bit more thought.

"I was thinking Engeve would be the best choice." Jade said as they continued walking. Everyone else agreed as it was the only plan they had. After an hour of walking, with some monsters getting in the way. Natalia felt her breaking point.

"Luke." She called out getting the replica's attention. "When Ion and I were trapped in Daath the others told me that you wanted to save Ion…"

"Of course I did. Ion's my friend." Luke said, cutting her off. "One time he and I camped out in the woods and fought a Liger Queen. It was shooting lightning, I was cutting it, Ion was using Daathic fonic artes, it was awesome."

"You fought a Liger Queen." Sarah said in awe.

"You didn't let me finish." Natalia said as she bristled in anger.

"And Jade and I were there to." Tear threw in. Luke looked at her in confusion.

"Really?" Luke asked as he brought a hand to his chin "My memory must be slippin in my old age."

"Luke you're seventeen." Guy said with a serious face, but there was a trace of mirth in his eyes.

"Physically." Luke replied. "As a replica I may get older mentally faster."

"Yeah, because you were so mature at Akzeriuth." Anise replied scathingly.

"With the seven years of life I've had, having everything handed to me, being trapped in a manor all my life, having the man I thought was one of the few that cared about me betray me, being told by said person that moving the people would kill them so I had to use hyperresonance to neutralize the miasma. Which lead to the destruction of a town." Luke said, venom rising with each world, he stopped to catch his breath. "Which happened because he hypnotised me into doing it. Then after I wake up everyone glares at me and blames me, WITHOUT waiting or asking for an explanation. Then I get attacked by a." He covers Sarah's ears. "Prick who blames me for his own problems." He uncovers her ears. "Who proceeds to destroy what little self confidence I have left. Whom I proceed to beat the hell out of. Then I learn the world is doomed because of me. And after everything." Luke said with a dramatic pause.

"He just doesn't care. He only cares about stopping Van, not about actually helping people, he's doing things to spite Van." Luke said sadly. "And some people I thought I could trust went with him without a second thought, just because he was the "real Luke"." He stated as he glared at Guy and Natalia.

Luke took a deep breath. "But I'm getting off topic. We're talking about my maturity, which was not the greatest in the world." Luke admitted. "So after the destruction of Akzeriuth, where thousands of people have died. I deny any responsibility of it. Which, as it turns out, is a pretty normal reaction to a tragedy such as that. Even without my normal depression of killing a person." Luke turned away from them. "So maybe I wasn't mature." Luke said as a silent tear rolled down his face.

"At least I'm human." He told them quietly, wiping away the tear as he did.

"To answer the question you were going to ask Natalia. No I did not actually care about getting you." Luke said in a tone that had no real care. Natalia's face turned from shocked to insulted.

"Luke, we've been friends for years, how can you act like this?" Natalia asked him. Guy looked away, knowing what was coming, as Luke turned to her.

"Says the girl who thought that just because Asch was the "real Luke" Guy should just abandon me and be his friend." Luke said dryly. Natalia looked away from him, her face turning a bright red.

"Yeah, thought so." Luke said as he started to walk away. Sarah turned to them.

"You guys messed up." She told them.

She then turned around and skipped to Luke.

The others just looked at each other before following.

Had they turned around they would have seen the blond haired God-General watching them.

"Fighting within the group." Legretta said to herself "How will this play out?" She hoped that they would break apart as to not provide more problems for the commandant.

And that the replica would come to her.

For his power of course, not because he called her beautiful.

Near Daath Port

Daath Port was coming into sight after another hours travel. The had not spoken a word to each other as they walked. Luke walked a bit ahead of them, with Sarah on his back and Mieu on his head, who were having a little giggle fest. ("Giddy up." "Stop pulling my hair and I'm not a horse!").

"There you are." A voice Luke knew all too well said.

"Asch."

Farther away Legretta watched on with interest.

'This is going to end with one of them beaten, but which one?' She thought as she got closer to them.

But in the end she knew who would win.

"I've been demoted back to regular oracle knight and charged with treason." Asch explained as he glared at Luke, who was balancing Mieu on one finger. "Because of this I've decided to travel with you all." He told them, his voice and expression showing that this was not a favourable choice.

Natalia seemed ecstatic at the news.

Guy glared a little at him, still cross about the way he treated Luke.

Jade just smiled his Jade smile.

Tear was looking at him with distrust as she remembered Luke's words.

Anise was happy to have him back, as she didn't like Luke and she wanted his money.

Ion was worried of what this may lead to as he glanced between the ex God-General and the replica.

Luke turned abruptly to him, dropping Mieu in the process.

"You're going with us?" Luke asked with a hopeful expression.

"Uhh yeah." Asch responded to his question while wondering about his replica's sanity. The rest also looking at him confused.

"Well in that case." Luke grabbed Sarah and placed her on his shoulder, who was then followed by Mieu. "I'm out."

"What do you mean?" Tear asked him, not liking the way this was going.

"I'm leaving." Luke told her. "I'm parting ways with you, taking my own path, going on my own adventure."

"You're really leaving?" Anise asked with a million gald smile. Luke nodded at her.

"Yes Anise." He told her with a role of his eyes "Moron." he muttered quietly.

"What about us?" Tear asked the red head. "Aren't we friends?" Luke stared at her for a few seconds.

And proceeded to burst into laughter, this went on for a minute until Luke calmed himself down.

"Who the hell said we were friends?" He asked her in return as he stopped both Mieu and Sarah from falling off his back. This caused shocked looks to appear on everyone's faces, except for Jade who raised an eyebrow.

"Did you really think I actually liked any of you. I would rather take on all the God-Generals at once then spend more time with you all." Luke told them as he looked at them with pity. "The only reason I'm still here is because I have hyperresonance, which will most likely be one of the key factors in this. But with Asch here I no longer have to pretend I care." Luke stopped when he saw Ion's saddened face.

"I don't mean you Ion, you're cool." Luke told him, getting a smile from the Fon-Master.

"Where will you go?" asked Guy scared for his little brother figure.

"Maybe I'll go to Grand Chokmah, maybe I'll head back to Daath and become an oracle knight, who knows." Luke said in a mysterious tone. Asch then chose that moment to but in.

"Who said you could do any of that?" Asch asked his replica.

"I did, just now." Luke replied to him.

"What makes you think you can do any of those things? Your a replica, a flawed copy, someone who can't match up to anyone." Asch said back to him. Luke just sighed as he pulled Sarah and Mieu off his shoulder.

"Kicked your ass." Luke replied simply.

"That's because I didn't want to kill you." Asch asserted.

"Stick to that story, I would." Luke retorted to his original as he waved his hand in a dismissive manner.

"Shut up." Asch nearly screamed at him. "You stole everything from me. My home, my family, my life, everything." Luke raised an eyebrow at that.

"And that's my fault how?" Luke asked him.

"What?" Asch asked in return.

"How is it my fault? I mean in those circumstances, thinking I'm you is pretty logical." Luke specified. "Memory loss is common after traumatic events, add in the fact I look like you and no one would be able to tell the difference."

Everyone sat in a silence, thinking about what was said.

"And if you really wanted it back, you could have said your promise to Natalia to someone." Luke said as he got into a thinking pose. "So, in a way, it was your fault. But who am I to judge." Luke finished with a careless shrug.

Asch's face went red with fury, the stupid replica wouldn't listen to him.

"That's not the point." Asch barked at him. "You should listen to me." Luke looked at him for a second and a smirk crossed his face.

"Tell ya what Asch." Luke said with cat caught the canary tone. "We'll fight right here, right now. You win, I'll do anything you say, no questions asked." Asch seemed to be thinking about it for a few seconds. "BUT, If I win you apologize for everything you've said about me, admit that I'm greater, and let me go." Luke finished. At this point the others were making their presence known.

"This isn't the time for foolishness." Jade said sternly.

"We have to save St. Binah." Tear backed the colonel up.

"Tear and Jade are right." Natalia put in. "Luke apologise to Asch."

"Deal." Asch replied to Luke loud and clear. Luke drew his sword and got into his normal position.

"Then bring it."

The moment those words left Luke's mouth, Asch drew his own sword and rushed him.

Asch went for a downward slash. Luke quickly used his own sword to block it and push him away. As Asch stumbled back Luke quickly reached out with his right hand.

"Raging Blast." He said calmly as it blasted Asch away. Who got up and ran back at Luke.

"Sonic Thrust." He yelled out as he lunged forward. Luke side stepped him and jumped into the air.

"Havoc Strike." Luke quickly brought his foot down on Asch, who was knocked away.

"Damn it." Asch said to himself as he started to cast a fonic arte.

"Bring all to ash and ruin." He chanted as fonons flared around him. "Explosion." The moment Asch finished he thrust his sword skyward. The fonons creating a pillar of fire that crashed to the ground, which then caused a small scale eruption. Luke managed to dodge most of it but got caught in the shockwave. Luke quickly got up and pulled his right hand to his face.

"O healing power." He started to chant as fonons flew towards him. "First aid." Luke threw his hand forward. sighed in relief as the pain started to diminish. He looked up at Asch with a clear smirk.

"Where were we?" Luke asked as he pointed his sword at Asch. Asch growled slightly and once again rushed Luke. They both slashed at the same time, causing a deadlock.

"You know." Luke said as they each tried to overpower the other. "With all that growling I'm starting to think you're a dog." Luke quickly jumped back and got into a crouched position.

"C'mon Aschy." Luke said in a tone one would use to talk to a pet as he patted his leg. "C'mon little dog-general." Asch started to see red and closed the gap between them.

"That's enough." Asch shouted as he got closer to Luke and swung his sword in an arc, unleashing a blast of power from his body. Luke was blasted away from Asch, but flipped in midair to land on his feet. Just as he landed he saw Asch spin around and draw a circle of light on the ground.

"Guardian Field." Asch shouted as a crest appeared in the circle, light shining upwards into Luke.

"The weak should stay back." Asch shouted as he once again thrusted his sword skyward.

"Annihilation." Asch screamed as purple light started to surround him, ravaging Luke in the process. Asch then spun his sword so it's tip faced the ground.

"RENDING SABRE!" Asch yelled as he plunged his sword into the ground. This created a far larger crest on the ground, which was covered in a beam of destructive light. As the mystic arte ended Luke was thrown away, losing his sword in the process. He rolled for a few seconds before coming to a halt.

"Hmph weak." Asch said as he turned to walk back to the group.

"Yeah, that was pretty weak." Luke said as he slowly got up, much to the others shock.

"You want some more?" Asch asked him, sure that the replica was bluffing.

"Luke, stop this." Tear said slightly desperately. He said that he didn't care about them, but that didn't mean she didn't care about him.

"Hey Tear." Luke said to get her attention. "Shut up." Luke pulled Innocence from his belt "And check this out." Luke announced as he swung his hand in an arc and pointed his revolver at Asch. (Think Pyro execution from tf2)

"Heavens Tear." He exclaimed as he pulled the trigger. A bullet of pure light slowly flew out of the gun and was rapidly picking up speed. Asch quickly got out of the way and watched as it tore a perfect hole through the tree behind him. Asch quickly turned back to the replica who was going for his sword. Asch quickly gave chase, gaining on the replica. When he was within reach Luke jumped for his sword, while at the same time Asch lunged at him.

The tip of Asch's blade got closer and closer to Luke as he reached for his sword. Luke's eyes widen as he realized he wouldn't make it. Asch just smiled as he realized the same thing. The moment the tip touched Luke's chest Asch thought he had won the battle.

Then Luke disappeared in a flash of light.

Asch grinded to a halt and stared at where the replica once was, while the others did the same.

"That could have seriously hurt me." A voice commented behind Asch, who turned around to see Luke buffing his nails on his jacket. "And I may of had to get a new coat."

"W-what?" Asch sputtered out. Luke turned his head slightly to look at him.

"What? Never seen a guy teleport?" Luke asked him. To which Asch shook his head no.

"Really? huh." Luke said as he fell backwards and just floated there. "I guess it is pretty rare, like flying." Everyone, even Jade was staring at Luke as he just floated on.

"I suppose I should get my sword." Luke observed, stretching out his hand and seemingly teleporting the sword to him. "Now I guess it's my turn." Luke said offhandedly.

"Your turn?" Asch asked him in a fearful tone.

"Well you used your ultimate attack on me." Luke replied as he pulled back his sword. "I might as well return the courtesy." With that Luke rushed Asch, who started to come out of his stupor and brought up his sword. Luke, as soon as he was close enough, crossed his hands over his face.

"Bring it on." Luke roared as he pumped both his arms as he unleashed the power within him. This knocked Asch off balance, but he quickly righted himself. Luke ran towards him as he raised his sword.

"Fang Blade." Luke yelled as he slashed down and up on Asch, who couldn't block the blows. They both fell to the ground as Luke created a katana and sheath.

"Void Tempest." Luke said as he slashed Asch across the chest, the arte making multiple cuts.

"Light Spear Cannon." Luke yelled as spun around, knocking Asch in the air and stabbing his blade into him. After a second Luke pulled back his sword which launched Asch slightly.

"Dodge this." Luke said as he rushed Asch. Luke struck him twice with his sword horizontally. Then teleported behind him and slashed him twice with Asch's sword. The replica disappeared again and reappeared to Asch's right and cut him with Guy's katana. He then appeared at Asch's left and struck twice with Tear's staff. Luke then went behind him again and punched Asch twice before he teleported back a bit and shot two of Natalia's arrows. The second the arrows pierced Asch, Luke destroyed them and attacked him with Jade's spear. Luke then teleported in front of Asch and spun Largo's scythe into him, knocking him back slightly. Luke got rid of the scythe and created Legretta's fon-tech guns. Luke shot him six times while he was still turning, when the last shot left the chamber he stopped the spin with Innocence trained on Asch.

"THIS IS IT!" Luke shouted as energy started to build in innocence.

"HARMONIC CHAOS." The moment Luke roared these words a huge beam of energy fired out of innocence. The beam hit Asch head on and threw him into a tree behind him. The blast continued for a few seconds before Luke pulled it away. Luke spun Innocence around his finger and destroyed it.

Luke then put his hands in his pockets and did a quarter turn to the right. He turned his head to the left far enough to see Asch against the tree.

"That all you got?" Luke asked him, not expecting an answer. All was quiet for a few seconds as everyone stared at the redhead.

"That was AWESOME!" Sarah shouted as she barreled into him, taking him to the ground. "How did you do that?"

"I don't know, I just sort of did." Luke told her as he picked himself off the ground, putting her on his back as he did. He then turned to Asch, who was now unconscious. "Something tells me I won." Luke quipped.

"Big time." Sarah replied as Mieu bounced over to them.

"What now, Luke." Mieu asked as he was grabbed mid jump by Luke.

"We go home." Luke told him as he handed Mieu to Sarah.

"But we don't have a house." Sarah told him, causing Luke to frown.

"True, we don't have a house." Luke said as he thought, but then smiled. "We have a castle."

With that Luke teleported them to their new home.

Everyone else just looked on at where their companion was, until Guy voiced the thought on everyone's mind.

"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!?"

Fatal-fame here and I am late putting this up, there was no excuse I'm sorry.

When I was reading the reviews I saw a guest talking about the power being OP.

My explanation for this is that I haven't found a fanfiction where Luke is overpowered. Nor have I seen one where Luke tells everyone else to go to hell as he does his own thing.

Also I think I may have created the Luke and Legretta ship, does that mean I win something?

These are some ideas I have for fanfiction tell me if i should write them or if you want to yourself.
