World Without Choice

-

Prompt:
Jade/Jade Replica

-

Jade was
going to kill Dist. He meant it this time. He would stamp on that cockroach
until it stayed dead. The horror was so all-consuming that he was too
paralyzed to prevent the others coming into Dist's bedroom after him wanting to
know what had made Luke go, "Gah! Uh...
Jade?" Luke got points for trying to pretend that nothing wrong was going
on, bringing it to Jade's attention, and covering his hopefully-virgin eyes,
but then Jade had ruined it all by screaming bloody murder.

Which meant that the others had come running, thinking they
had to be under attack. Or that the end of the world
was nigh. Something along those lines.

He was drugging dinner tonight. They could live without their memories of the
last few weeks. "Everyone out!"

The replica him yawned, stretched, and murmured, "Master?"

The comparison with Luke and Van was... Dist and Van.
He was killing them both. Slowly.

Not Luke, though. Luke had even tried to block the door, and ran for it
dragging Tear and Guy with him when Jade had commanded it. It was Natalia who
was frozen and Anise who was, was snickering?!

Dist had even done Jade's fonic sight procedure to a... how old was this
replica? It wasn't safe!

"Are you Jade?" He had to fight back the urge to draw his spear when
the replica walked towards him, innocently naked.

"Yes. What does Dist call you?"

"You mean Master Saphir? He's the only people I've seen before you. class=GramE>Jadeite." Which meant that at least
Dist had kept people from seeing this, this...

He had to know how bad it was.

"Anise, Natalia..."

"Uh, sure Colonel." This time Anise knew to beat a strategic
retreat, pulling the stammering Natalia. Jade slammed the door closed behind
them with his spear.

"Now, Jadeite. What did Dist instruct you to do
if you saw me?" Dist, that dirty-minded little cockroach, must have had
fantasies of him, Jade, and this.

"Whatever you wanted."

"What does Dist generally have you do?"

Jade was going to kill Dist. But he had to say one thing for the walking class=GramE>corpse, he had mastered programming replicas, because there
was no way Dist had managed to train Jadeite to be this talented. Still not on
Jade's level, of course, but... As a replica, Jadeite should possess Jade's
genes and potential for high intelligence, once Dist's brain cell killing
influence was removed...

If he played his cards right, Dist's little perversion could be turning into a
way for Jade to have an intelligent conversation other than by talking to
himself.

He was still going to pin him to one of the cliffs of Mt. Roneal and watch the
monsters eat him, though.

As soon as they found the flightstone they were going straight to Keterberg.

As soon as he finished testing out this replica model he would get right on
that. Oh, and he had to...

Dist always did have a glasses fetish. He would say one thing for the
cockroach, he was inventive.
