The prompt for this was "Blake's clones won't go away."
"Up top!" called Sun as he and Blake watched the Sea Dragon dissolve into black smoke.
Blake stared at the monkey Faunus' huge grin. He followed me. I can't believe he followed me. Anger overcame her, and she slapped him across the face.
Sun recoiled, more surprised than hurt. Blake was about to chew him out for stalking her all the way from Beacon, when a strangely familiar voice cut her off.
"Hey! Don't touch him."
Blake and Sun both turned, and saw… Blake. Another Blake was standing a few feet away, staring daggers into the Blake that had just slapped Sun. For his part, the monkey Faunus was swiveling his head back and forth between the two girls, unsure what to make of this.
Is that one of my clones? I've never heard them talk before.
"You should be ashamed of yourself," yelled the clone. The voice was Blake's, but the tone was one she had never used before. It sounded almost… flirty? "How could you hurt such a handsome boy?"
What?
"Uh, Blake, what's going on?" asked Sun.
Before he could get an answer, another Blake stepped out from behind a rock and addressed the group.
"It's not the first time she's let her emotions get the better of her. How could you abandon Yang like that? She needed you! As soon as I deal with you, I'm going back to Vale."
"Why?" asked the first clone. "Everything I need is right here." She winked at Sun.
The second clone scoffed. "This disgusting little stalker? No, Yang is my true love. And once I kill you both and take my place as the real Blake, I'm going back to Vale." The clone gave a sinister smile. "I'll nurse Yang back to health… and then take her to bed."
"Seriously, what the hell is going on?" asked Sun.
"Isn't it obvious?" asked the first clone. "I'm going to kill these two and become the real Blake. Then we can be together." She smiled at him.
"No!" yelled a third clone, appearing from behind another rock. "I'm the real Blake! And once I destroy all of you, I'm going back to Vale… for Ruby!"
"Ruby?" cried the other three Blakes in unison.
"Yes!" answered the newcomer. "She was still unconscious when you left her! I'm going back to Vale to make sure she's alright… and to get some Ru-booty."
"Ruby is probably fine," said another clone, revealing itself. "It's Jaune that needs us! He just lost Pyrrha. He needs a shoulder to cry on… and some lips to make out with."
"Forget Vale!" yelled yet another clone. "We should be in Atlas, looking for Weiss. Her father practically kidnapped her and you're all going to allow that?"
"Wait a minute!" interrupted the real Blake. "I didn't even make this many clones when we were fighting the Grimm!"
"Oh yeah, that was my bad," admitted the Bumbleby clone. "I thought that if I made some clones they would either fade away like normal or side with me." She shrugged. "I was wrong."
"So…" began the Eclipse clone. "I guess we fight to the death now?"
"Not before I say my piece!" yelled another clone standing on top of the rock.
The other Blakes sighed. "Who do you want to be with?" asked the Monochrome clone.
"The only person I've ever actually been in a relationship with, Adam!" replied the newcomer.
Blake and her five clones drew their weapons in unison and shot the Tauradonna clone in the face. The clone faded into nothing like Blake's clones always did when struck.
They can still only take one hit!
But before Blake could take advantage of this realization, the other clones were on her. They surrounded her and began to attack.
"Sun, help!" called Blake.
"I can't tell which one is the real you!" cried Sun desperately.
Blake groaned. "Fine, then stay back."
The fight was difficult. The clones were just as fast and skilled as the real Blake, and she couldn't use her Semblance for fear of creating more enemies. But they could each only take a single hit, while Blake still had a bit of her Aura left to protect her.
And while the clones prioritized attacking the real Blake, their teamwork was far from perfect. The Bumbleby clone in particular took out the Knightshade clone and the Ladybug clone on her own before Blake defeated her.
In the end, despite having her Aura broken by the Eclipse clone, the canon Blake was victorious. She turned to Sun who had been watching the fight in amazement.
"You're the real thing?" he asked.
"Do you see any corpses?" asked Blake.
Sun sighed in relief. "Good. I like you a lot better-" His eyes widened. "Look out!"
Before Blake could react, she felt a sharp pain in her chest. She looked down to see Gambol Shroud's blade piercing her through the sternum. A voice identical to her own whispered in her ear.
"Sunny Bees is OT3."
I had a ton of fun with this one. It only got better when I realized I was pitting canon Blake against half a dozen shipper versions of Blake. But I had to end it on a laugh, so canon lost in the end.
Thanks for reading!
