Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.
(Author's Note: Hey everyone, I decided to add one more chapter then I original had planned out. I just have a lot of ideas I have and I needed to stretch it out a little, so the reunion chapter between Finn and his mother and Phoebe with her mother will take a little longer to get to. I apologize. Also a very special shoutout to Polydactyly Zodiac for coming up with a name for a new character. Hope you enjoy the chapter.)
Deep in the Ice Kingdom, palace, Subject 118 woke up in a bed in a strange room looking around in confusion. The first things the clone noticed that her shoulder had a bandage on it, her wings were gone, and that she was wearing a blue nightgown. Subject 118 recalled that the last thing, she saw her before she passed out, were two people walking towards her.
"Ah, I see your awake." Said a voice from the doorway.
Subject 118 looked up to see a man, she recognized as Simon. Simon walked into the room, carrying a tray with a glass of water on it, and sat down in a chair next to the bed. The old wizard offered Subject 118 the glass of water and she took it. The clone sipped from the glass feeling a little better.
"Thank you." Said Subject 118 as she handed the glass back to Simon.
"Your very welcome. Now then if you don't mind me asking, how did you and that little girl end up here. I already know you flew here, because my wife and I saw your wings before they crumpled into snow and I already figured your both clones." Said Simon.
"Well...your much smarter then I thought you were. Your right about me and the girl being clones. I am known as Subject 118 and the little girl goes by Subject 144. The two of us were created in a secret facility by a mad scientist named Sylvester, who has created several clones. I was created from the DNA of a women named Betty and another named Lucinda. As far as I know I have some ice powers and the ability to create large angle wings made out of snow. Sylvester ran several test on the clones and forced some of them to take a strange serum to make them fight one another. I was one of the few that refused to take it and I was forced to fight several clones that had gone mad. During one of these test I was placed in the same room with Subject 144 and another clone that had already gone mad. The mad clone tried to attack Subject 144 and I defender her and killed the other clone. Subject 144 was only a child and I didn't want to see any harm come to her. Sylvester thought my tenderness towards Subject 144 was interesting, so he allowed me and Subject 144 to spend time together. As time went by I decided I was going to get Subject 144 and myself out of the lab and some place safe. The place I came up with was the Ice Kingdom. The two of us escaped and we made our way here, where you found us." Said Subject 118.
"Very interesting. I should have known that Sylvester would have tried to create more clones." Said Simon as he scratched his chin.
"May I see how Subject 144 is doing?" Asked Subject 118.
"She's sleeping in another room, but before we go see her let me expect your wound." Said Simon.
Subject 118 turned around and let her back faced Simon. The wizard removed the bandage and saw that the wound was completely healed.
"Remarkable, it appears you might have inherited another DNA trait from Lucinda. You might be a werewolf and have a healing factor." Said Simon.
"A healing factor? I've never really healed fast before." Said Subject 118.
"Perhaps that power was dormant inside of you and now it's began to awaken, since you have something other then yourself to protect. I myself have seen many people accomplish great feats of strength and display great amounts of power to protect their loved ones. Your care for the child and your desire to protect her, has allowed you to escape from the place your were once held and unlock a new power, so that you can better protect the one you care about." Said Simon.
"I suppose...that makes sense." Said Subject 118.
"Now before we go see your friend, I have a change of clothes for you and I also want to know your name." Said Simon.
"I already told you my name." Said Subject 118 with a little confusion.
"That's was a number given to you by your creator, who saw you as an object and not a living person. Your life had no real value to Sylvester, so he saw no point in giving you a name. I see you as a living being, who deserves to be treated as such and I refuse to just simply call you by a number. All life has value regardless of whether a living being was born natural or created by science." Said Simon.
Subject 118 was stunned by this. She knew very little about Simon, until today and already, he had shown her nothing, but kindness and treated her like a person. The clone thought about what she should call herself as she looked out a window for inspiration. The view outside showed a winter wonderland and Subject 118 was awe by it's beauty. Then she was struck by inspiration as she turned to face Simon.
"You may call me Weiss."
"Nice to meet you Weiss and I must say that's a lovely name you picked for yourself." Said Simon with a smile.
"Thank you." Said the newly named Weiss.
Simon left the room so Weiss could change her clothes. Weiss put on some jeans, a dark blue T-shirt, a white coat with a white furred collar, and some black shoes. The clone also put her hair into a ponytail, before she went out into the hall to join Simon. The two of them headed to another room and found Betty sitting next to a bed with Patience as they two of them watched over the sleeping form of Subject 144 who was wearing a white nightgown. Introductions were made and Weiss decided to tell Simon and Betty who Subject 144 was.
"Subject 144 was created from the DNA of Simon and Betty." Said Weiss.
"Wait...you mean the reason this child resembles us is...she was created from our DNA?" Asked Betty.
"Indeed. Subject 144 is your daughter and I took her here because I knew she would be safe and I believed you would give her a good home." Said Weiss.
"That's...heavy. Clones...made of mixed up DNA and now Simon and Betty have a kid." Said Patience as she shook her head in wonder.
"Our...daughter." Said Betty as she starred at the sleeping child and gently ran a hand through her hair.
"You...know we always did talk about having a child, but then things got crazy after I came in contact with my crown. I was afraid of what my condition would do to my wife if we attempted to have a child. Now...we have a child of our own." Said Simon with a small smile.
Subject 144 opened her eyes and sat up squinting her eyes in confusion as she tried to figure out where she was. Weiss approached the child and sat on the bed near her. The child squinted at Weiss.
"Hello little one. It's me Subject 118, though you can call me Weiss." Said Weiss.
"Where...are we and...who are these people?" Asked Subject 144.
"We're in the Ice Kingdom. This will be our new home and I want to introduce you to your mom and dad." Said Weiss as she indicated Simon and Betty.
Subject 144 squinted at the two rulers.
"Oh I know exactly what you need." Said Betty as she walked out of the room.
A few minutes later Betty returned with some glasses in her hands. Betty walked over to the bed and gently placed the glasses on Subject 144's head. Subject 144's eyes went wide in wonder as she could now see things clearly. The little clone looked around the room at everyone and then she looked back at Betty with a smile as she suddenly threw her arms around her and embraced her.
"Thank you mommy!" Said Subject 144.
"Your welcome sweetie." Said Betty as she returned the embrace.
The two stopped hugging and Simon walked over to Subject 144 and sat on the bed next to her.
"Well now then little one, what should we call you. We need to give you a proper name."
Subject 144 didn't know what to do, so Betty and Patience went off to go get some books that had a bunch of names and other words. Simon let Subject 144 sit in his lap with one of the books opened up in front of them.
"Now let's see. How about Violet?" Asked Simon.
"No." Said Subject 144.
"Nora?" Asked Simon.
"No." Said Subject 144.
"Winter?" Asked Simon.
"No." Said Subject 144.
The two continued to study the book, until one of the words caught Subject 144's attention. The clone put a finger on the word.
"I like Eria."
"Eria Petrikov the Ice Princess. It does have a nice ring to it. Very well your new name is Eria." Said Simon with a smile as he fondled his daughter's hair.
"Thank you daddy." Said the newly named Eria.
"Your welcome princess." Said Simon with a warm smile.
Patience smiled at the scene and then glanced over at a clock on the wall. The Elemental turned to leave the room.
"Where you fixing to go?" Asked Betty.
"Oh I made plans with Slime Princess to meet her on the beach to go sailing. Slime Princess is bringing a friend and I asked that Abracadaniel guy I met in Wizard City, when Simon was showing me around Ooo." Said Patience.
"Well you go and have fun." Said Betty.
"Thanks and congrats on the kid." Said Patience as she walked out of the room.
Patience went to her room to grab a beach bag, before she walked out of the castle and started to head towards the direction of the beach. Back in the castle Eria was hanging with her new parents as Weiss watched them with a smile on her face.
Miles away at the secret cloning lab, Sylvester was in his office, with Kim, Shark, Frost, AMO, Jinn, and Blastronaut. Frost was pacing back and forth muttering dark curses under his breath about the two escaped clones. Sylvester on the other hand was quit calm about the situation.
"There's no need to get to worked up about the escape Frost. I know exactly where our little experiments ran off to." Said Sylvester.
"Where?" Asked Frost.
"Why to the Ice Kingdom. I explained to Subject 118, how Subject 144 was created from Simon and Betty's DNA and how it makes her, their child. No doubt Subject 118 took herself and Subject 144 to the Ice Kingdom for the parents to meet their child. I figure the seven of us will be more then enough to recapture the experiments and you can have your rematch with Simon and Betty." Said Sylvester.
"I like the way you think. It's time for a little dish of cold revenge." Said Frost with a grin.
"We shall leave in an hour or so." Said Sylvester.
"Fine by me." Said Frost as he left the room.
At the Candy Kingdom, most of the heroes were gathered for a little meeting. Bubblegum was currently checking on a project she had Banana Man and bunch of her guards working on. The project in question was a large spaceship that would be used to help transport the Citadel inmates to planet Olympia. Bubblegum was pleased with how the project was coming along and she went to go see what the heroes were up to. The heroes were in a meeting room. Gearga was currently wearing a black one piece swimsuit with white shorts, and sandals. The Daughter of War stood before the others and Iroh as she explained what she had planned.
"My team and I, along with Lance, Henry, Lucinda, and Marceline are going to patrol the coast and see if we can locate the criminals Queen of the Black Puddle and Aqualizer. The rest of you will look after the rest of Ooo."
"Sounds good to me." Said Finn.
"Do you care to accompany us Iroh?" Asked Gearga as she looked at Iroh.
"No. I think you and your friends will be able to handle anything you encounter on your patrol. It's my brother Shen and the other inmates that have me concerned." Said Iroh.
"Very well then." Said Gearga as she and her team geared up to head out.
The patrol party loaded up in the tank and headed off for the coast.
At the secret lair, Nyx was board. The little witch was in her room along with Ying and her Pig Posse. Nyx decided she wanted to go out, but she didn't know where to go. The witch used her magic to make a map of Ooo appear on a wall in front of her, then she conjured up a dart in her hands, and closed her eyes.
"Let's see where fate takes us!" Said Nyx as she threw the dart.
There was a thunk and Nyx opened her eyes to see that the dart had struck the coast. Nyx smiled as she used her magic to put an eyepatch on her left eye and a black and purple bandana on her head.
"We're going to play pirate!" Declared Nyx with a grin as she teleported herself and her group out of the lair.
Meanwhile in the wastelands outside of Ooo, Shadow Spite was constructing their ship. Mental Mouse was going over the construction and making a checklist of what machinery they needed to finish the ship. Dr. Cerebral had built Jack four robots. The robots were six feet tall and resembled Jack O'Lanterns with two arms and two legs. The new robots were called Jack-O-Bots and they were each a different color. There was a red one, a bluish white one, a gold one, and a silver one. The robots went by names associated with their colors, there was Ruby, Diamond, Gold, and Silver.
(Author's Note: Jack-O-Bots are from Fairly Odd Parents.)
Shen was watching the Creepers, work when Mental Mouse came up to him to give his report.
"My lord, we need a few more engines and one more computer to complete the ship and the warp drive. There is one technological place we haven't yet robbed that should have what we need." Said Mental Mouse.
"Where?" Asked Shen.
"The place known as the Candy Kingdom." Said Mental Mouse.
"Very well then. I shall personal lead the raid on the Candy Kingdom. I'll take Hookocho, Jack, and Dr. Cerebral with me. Mental Mouse, you will be in charge while I'm away." Said Shen.
"Thank you master." Said Mental Mouse.
Soon, Shen was heading towards the Candy Kingdom with Hookocho, Dr. Cerebral, Jack, the Jack-O-Bots, and a few dozen Creepers.
Deep within in the ocean another evil was fixing to stir up trouble. In the sunken remains of a massive battleship was Aqualizer and QB around the battleship was a massive gathering of evil sea creatures. There were the Lake Knights, a large group of six foot tall lobsters that had been exposed to radiation from a nuclear submarine, which had caused them to grow and become intelligent, a group of humanoid plant beings called Algae people, and lastly a group of violent mutants, called Ogre Sharks. The Ogre Sharks were ten feet tall with grey skin, and they had muscular arms and legs. Aqualizer looked at his forces and began to address them.
"My fellow ocean dwellers of the deep. For many years we have swam the ocean and claimed it as our domain, we are the masters of the sea, which covers most of this world. We are the superior lifeforms and today we take the land of the surface dwellers as our own and become the masters of all! The world belongs to use and we will show the inferior air breathers, how inferior they are to us! We will attack the enemy without mercy and the sea will run red with their blood! Go forth and claim what is ours!" Declared Aqualizer.
The sea creatures went into a wild frenzy, before going out to gear up for the invasion. Aqualizer and QB exchanged grins. Trouble from the deep was coming.
To be continued.
