Description
After the battle…

Omnini looked to of staggered to one knee as Omimi soon to do the same. Omnini soon rushed forward with the two soon on a clash. Omimi broke the stance only for the two to fling energy at each other. However, it wasn’t long until Omnini raised his sword to have an orb of electrical energy manifest on it before he fired it. Omimi caught theattack, but was dragged to the mostly dimmer part of the arena before she absorbed and she raised her shield. Omnini threw his sword as a form of ranged attack with his weapon when Omimi threw her shield- cloaked in her energy. The weapons collided mid-strike before one of the weapons actually passed through the other with the theme coming to an abrupt stop. The female retracts the weapon as it returns to her gauntlet with the male recover catching his weapon... but something was wrong.
Omnini froze in place as the grip on his sword just loosened- the sword soon came down and as it hits the ground…it looked to of split in two lengthwise, right down the middle with the sword halves clattering on the ground. Omnini looked shock before he saw his sword broken. “I guess…it’s over.” Omimi let out.

“N-no…” Omnini said before landing on the ground. “How did I…”
Omimi saw the look in her brother’s eyes- the look of a person who lost it big- before Omimi just sighed and holding her arm as she dismissed her weapons. “Omnini. You were definitely a good opponent- but…I felt as though you weren’t at your best. Maybe it was because you were still in shock but…I think it was something else.”

“What do you mean?” Omnini asked his sister. “I did my best and it wasn’t good enough- I couldn’t beat you… You were right- they were right. I wasn’t strong enough- I couldn’t do it on my own…”

“No…It wasn’t that.” Omimi commented. “You were doing great but… I think you were still holding back- your mind was still bothered what everyone said; ...it seems like it was enough for you slow yourself down on purpose on the last strike…because once you stopped acting, you just stopped yourself. You were never you.”

“But…” The Black and red tried to say before trying to stand.

“I…” Omimi tried to comment before starting to turn away. “I’m going. See you later…Omnini.”

Omnini definitely looked shocked as his eye seemed to somehow shrink as Omimi turned around from older brother. As Omimi begins to walk through the door, Omnini definitely looked worried as he tried to stand up and tried to run after his sibling without triggering his energy as the distance between begins to widen. Omnini tries to accelerate without his energy before trying to reach the door, but Omimi beats him to the door and opens it. Omnini cries out, “WAIT!” before Omimi looks to her brother tripped to the floor with Omimi looking on. Omnini tries to stand up, but with his sister closing the door behind and the second to last light fading out.

Omnini soon looked to be exhausted from the battle before he soon looked to be down on the last light- which was really dimmed and muttered to himself, “...I…I really did act like a child…” Omnini soon looked to himself with what little light there was left before to say, “I must be pathetic; until now…I didn’t imagine myself to break like this… After all this time…the fights, the friends I made, and even the whole thing with Vekuku so far. I just wanted to help- but I ended up trying to be a big ham and…got in everyone’s way.”

Omnini soon looked to his own broken sword before he soon looked to the floor as he soon muttered, “Like that English paper, all of this hard work, the friends I made, the effort we put into it…and just like that I pushed everyone away to take the glory…but the glory was for naught because I had the wrong subject, and we failed…”
An image of Omnini as a younger child working with the students in his class with everyone working hard- but the students looked at Omnini when he looked to give an arrogant look before the teacher looked at it…and slapped their equivalent to an F- on Omnini’s head with the children giving an angry look at Omnini. When Omnini tried to convince them they just shrugged him off with the tadpole looking guilty.
The black and red tadpole looked down and started to cry and held himself. “Some leader I am…I can’t believe I forgot about that… I really did deserve those words everyone shot at me. I bet they probably hate me now… even her… and even Dosese…”

Meanwhile…

Omimi was walking through the way with her side on the wall, panting a bit but she looked to be crying herself before she stumbled onto her knees. It wasn’t long until Akaka and Tentoto saw her and the two in Unison blurted out ‘Omimi!’ ran up to her to help her up. The white tadpole looked to her friends before Akaka asked, “What happened to you?!”

“I…sort of fought with brother because I was kind of ticked off with him.” Omimi replied.

“But why would you go so far as to do it?” Tentoto asked. “Hold on- let me tend to your injuries.” She soon used her energy as used to heal any bruises or starches she had.

“Because I wanted to know why he acted that way all that time…” The tadpole admitted, sounding disappointed- but it looked to more towards herself. “He said he didn’t know...”

“Pfft, of course he wouldn’t know.” Akaka admitted, sourly. “He always acted the hero- he left the heavy thinking to someone else- he never thought things out for himself. He was selfless but with those intentions, it was more like selfish.”

“A-Akaka!” Tentoto let out, surprised. “I know you told me what happened, but that’s no reason to treat him like that! Omnini may have done this to himself, and I know you’re still hurt by what he said but you can’t just suddenly treat him like dirt!”

“Tch…I know you’re right, but you know by now how I get.” The red tadpole replied. “I can’t believe I had a crush on him when I was younger…” The two female tadpoles just blinked at that comment before she admits, “Tell anyone that, and I’ll blame it on Tentoto.”

“But I never met Omnini when I was younger- you can’t exactly prove that.” Tentoto said in response (and in her own defense).

“…” Akaka just slapped her own forehead before to say, “Jeez… I guess I dug that out myself? Ugh…”

“…” Omimi still looked somber before rubbing her face of her tears as –Ventus- plays. “I feel like I’m the one who screwed up Omnini… Everything he did was for me- and I totally smacked him for it… All I wanted was to prove to him that I was strong but…I never knew that he never actually believed in himself without acting. I guess I really am like him.”
Akaka looked at what Omimi said before Tentoto noticed it herself. “He never believed in himself? Why?”

“I think he did, but only because he was with us- but on his own, he actually had high expectations of himself- he had his own and then saw how everyone was and decided to set himself from seeing everyone.” The youngest female admitted. An image in her imagination formed with Omnini appearing with a bar with a chibi version of Sododo and Dosese appearing beside him. The image showed Omnini easily losing to Sododo despite his energy powers before going into a swordfight with Dosese and with her easily disarming Omnini. “He saw how strong everyone was and wanted to be that strong, but…he couldn’t. No matter how much he tried, it was like he couldn’t do it.” The chibi Omnini soon had an idea bulb before using both energy and swordplay together to win against Sododo. However, the levels got better and beter before Omnini realized that Sododo got better in a spar- even with his energy and Dosese got better as well; causing the chibi black and red tadpole to look discouraged. “He got better when he lost against Sododo and won his rematch but the problem still persisted- everyone around him is getting stronger- more courageous, more mature, even confronting problems in the past. He must’ve doubted himself to the point that he felt overwhelmed and he became incredibly discouraged- to the point that he became under-confident; Like he couldn’t do it. I guess he even believed that what Grandpa said and but wanted to fight Vekuku- someone beyond anyone’s levels on their own- but…Grandpa practically shot him down. He was being childish and rash.” The imagination bubble disappears before Omimi admitted, “And everyone- including me- just berated him about it.”

“Jeez…” Akaka let out. “I guess I was being too hard on him. But the two times he tried to save you before…I think that may of also been him. He just wanted to save you.”

“…So it was me?” Omimi let out. “I’M the reason he tried to be a hero?”

“Yeah, it sort of is if you think about it.” Tentoto let out. “Those two times that you and him were in danger and when you were sick… Omnini felt he couldn’t do anything but run away- but he tried to help you to the best he can. I think the reason he did was because well…he just wanted to help.”

Omimi soon looked down to herself and admitted, “…I think I know the real reason why Omnini couldn’t go all out against me now… And I think I really should be ashamed of myself for it…”

“Well, that’s good, right?” The rosy female let out. “Well sure you ashamed, but now you know why Omnini wanted to hold back against you…”

“But what about everyone else?” Akaka let out.

“I’m sure they’ll be thinking something of the same thing. But now that Omnini pretty much demoralized…” Minono soon walked in as she said, “Maybe I can do something to help him out?”

The three soon looked to each other before Omimi asked, “Would…would you help find his own strength?”

“I can try.” The Axolotlian replied as the theme ends. “But it’s gonna be difficult- with you pretty much beaten him, he pretty much lost his reason to fight.”

In another part of the hideout…

“Masasa, I can’t believe you!” Jesasa let out. “Wasn’t Omnini your friend?!”

“Hey, I’m pissed off that he was just being childish this entire time- seriously he’s 16!” The male said. “He should be acting his age! You’d think him challenging Sododo with his arm broken would’ve been a clear indication of his cockiness would’ve told but nope- it didn’t!”

“So? I’m an airhead a times!” Dimama said. “I don’t always act my age!”

“Well, you’re an exception.” Masasa replied. “But seriously I think he talked down on me. That punch to the gut should be well received and clear enough: So enlighten me- for what reason should I even see him eye to eye?”

“Because he knew how to be sympathetic.” Jesasa answered. “Just as you told me the tale, you told him that too, didn’t you? He allowed you to stay in the platoon as a friend.”

“…” Masasa blinked at the commented before he winced at it. “Yeah, well…it’s true that I moved on from it, but-”

“He defended you, not because of his so called ‘prideful’ nature, but because he wanted to- as a friend!” The red haired female answered. “Masasa, don’t you understand? Sure Omnini acted like- well, a famous superhero that’s sometimes a coward, and I’m wrong on that aspect- but he helped you! He proved you earned a second chance- to trust you as a friend and Platoon mate and you threw that in his face! I know you’re angry at him, but can’t you find it in your heart to…well, try to give him another chance like he did for you?”

“Yeah! Omnini may be a glory hog like Tamama, but at least he can admit his mistake instead of trying to keep his cool!” The other blue tadpole replied. “You really hurt him bad- if you don’t feel sorry for him, it’s going to be like the thing you did! It’s going to hurt you hard in the butt too!”

“Yeah, what Dimama said!” Jesasa replied, agreeing with her friend before looking to her boyfriend and admitting, “So…do you think you can forgive him?”
Masasa soon crossed his arms before trying to think. In his head, the good memories of how Omnini and Masasa being friends came into his mind before he soon sighed. However, as opened his yellow eyes- soon turned grey as the red markings disappeared. Masasa soon advanced to Jesasa who gave a sudden mouth-to-mouth kiss with Dimama giving a startled ‘Wh-wh-wh-what?!” while blushing heavily. Jesasa’s face literally lit up red before he backed off from his girlfriend- but not before he grabbed her mask and placed it on her face before she gave a woozy ‘OoooooOOooh’ and fell to the ground in a presumed daze.

“Wh…Why did you just kissed her?” Was all that Dimama asked.

“Tell Jesasa when she came to, thanks for the guilt trip and…well, I guess you can say courage.” Masasa said to the awake female. “I’m going to talk to the Major.”

“Oookay, but I still don’t know what’s going on…” Dimama replied in her confusion. She soon started to fan Jesasa to help her wake up.

*KH scenario only*

Masasa was seen marching by before to stop and say something, “You know, they do have a point- if someone like Omnini could give me a second chance, then I’ll give that same one. Besides, even if he was on his own, he could probably woop me in sword fight- even with your help. You pretty much saw the potential in him, despite the total wuss factor and showoff stuff didn’t you?”

An apparition of someone appeared as someone replied in Masasa’s voice, “Tch, maybe. I only picked him because I made the mistake of thinking it was you. But he was still a total pansy though; it serves what you know.”

“Yeah, coming from the guy who was inside him- bow chicka bow wow by the way- thinking it was me.” Masasa said, (with one part of his sentence intended to be rude) “Instead you pretty much got stuck into becoming a dark half Ventus.”

“Yeah. And in the end, you pretty much rejected me instead of letting me take over.” The figure answered.

“Yeah. Let’s just say that I got tired of being alone- and unlike you…at least I’m not half the man I was.” Masasa commented. “See you later, Vanitas.”

“…Same to you.” The voice said as the apparition soon dissolved into dust as Masasa soon walked forward.

*KH Scenario part over*

*Insert something in between that could be considered some sort of perspective of the other friends but too lazy to add*

*Note: This only happens in the KH version of the story.*

???

Omnini was lying on the ground, panting from attempting to reach his sister before rising up and noticing that he was standing somewhere else. Omnini looked around as he said to himself, “There’s…no one left. I knew that I was weak, but I didn’t know that I messed up the lights that bad.” He stood up before looking around and walking towards trying to look around the dark. He soon looks up to the ceiling- most of the lights may of short circuited from before by only was left- but it was so dimly lit that it looks like it was going to burn out at any second…wait…it looks like just a ray of light. “…Wait a moment.”
Omnini looked up to the light- he then quickly looks down to the platform to notice that he was standing on his station of awakening- the one that was restored by a friend of his prior. However…it looked to of cracked around the edges. “…I see now…” The male looked up before looking down. “…I guess...I really am weak… I can’t against Vanitas and I couldn’t even win against my own sister…I can’t believe how much powers words had…especially mine…and especially theirs…” Omnini soon looked like he was sitting down before looking up and his eyes beginning to release the tears fought back before looking down to the ground with his broken sword nearby. He then gave a loud yell before sounds of something punching the ground were heard. “DAMN IT! Why did all of this have to happen! Everything that happened up until now was all Vekuku’s fault- to what happened to Akaka, to Metata and Washishi, to our family… and to our friends! But why is everyone looking down on me? Okay, so I got a big ego- that didn’t mean I was looking down on them! But why is that a problem now of all things? Everyone knows that I’m afraid of needles and the dark, but what does the way I act have to do me being inadequate- I’m not weak! I am strong! I’m faster than anyone I know except grandpa and the ones that are fast! I know I’m not best, but why does everyone think I’m the worst!?” As Omnini continues to pound the ground, more of the station begins to crack as it itched closer to the center as a dark mist pours out of it like a jet. “Why is everyone stronger than me? Why is everyone always better than me?! What did they have that I don’t? I had friends and family! I had comrades in arms! They were part of my strength! I’m supposed to be as strong as Sora- and yet he’s stronger than I am still! But why is it now that I’m not strong enough to fight Vekuku?!” Omnini soon grabbed part of his sword and was about to strike the ground with it, screaming…

“Someone just tell me- WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!”

Before the sword even touched the station, something somehow deflects it, knocking it out of Omnini’s hand out as it soon clattered across the floor. “Who…?”

“Maybe because…you never believed in yourself?” A voice said as a tadpole- Raii- projected himself in front of Omnini. “Your heart grew weak because everyone left you- because you were nothing without everyone- but they don’t remember the you who is arrogant. They only remember the you who was compassionate. Although…that could’ve a façade too.”

“Raii, I…” Omnini tried to say, but he stopped himself, knowing something before sitting down looking to himself. “I guess…I really screwed things up- I was so angry at Vekuku, that I ended up making myself weak... I’m a hypocrite for sure- I wanted to claim to be just like Sora and yet… I never acted the way I wanted to instead of being tough. I was so angry of what Vekuku had done that…I lost reason and pretty much took it out on my friends and even famly…who saw the me that I didn’t want them to see. And…they got angry too- demoralized me until I was nothing more than a sobbing child, begging for forgiveness.”

“Yeah…” Raii said turning away. “…I had a feeling that you mention that. I still wondered why I was even born… or how- I mean I would’ve became a dusk when I was born… Maybe it was because I was born when you wanted to try to save everyone- not because of your attitude, but because you were genuinely worried about them- you tried to help them by trying to stop Vanitas on your own- knowing that you would still lose. You sareficed part of your heart to do it even it caused more harm than good- that’s what they remembered. I’m you- both of us are the ‘you’ that Grandfather wanted you to be- a peaceful individual- someone with filled with compassion, but not with pride- a part of me would also hate Vekuku, but I would’ve admitted it in a passive aggressive way. But, I’m more of a coward because of it- and seeing you were stronger than me because you had a drive… it got me to think about…how I wanted to be stronger. But your ego pushed them away, even though you tried to be friends- there some part of you that didn’t want them to know that you were weak. Even though we recombined, I still ended up in the darkness of your heart, because you were ashamed- I was…suffering too.”

“Raii…you may be my nobody, but we’re different. You know that.” Omnini admitted. “We may be the same on several levels, but we’re different- I’m hot headed, you’re gentle- I’m brave, you’re timid- but you’re honest and I’m…just a problem.” The black and red tadpole just sighed as he said, “This could’ve been the other way around- I should’ve been the Nobody, while you should’ve existed. I should’ve been your anger- but you became my sense to reason…”

“Stop saying that!” Raii said as he sounded angry and then somehow materialized as he grabbed Omnini by the cheeks. However, he realized what he did and slowly retracts his arms. “Sorry- I guess I must’ve rubbed off from you. Anyways… Remember what Grandpa said- fate has a way of being unpredictable- things would’ve been different- many things could’ve been different!”

“Wh…what do you mean?” Omnini asked.

“Use your head!” The Nobody said as –Link to All- begins to play. “The possibilities were there, even if you forgot: we would’ve been swapped if Mom and Dad managed to win the battle and survived! We would’ve been thieves if Sododo and Officer Ryoyo hadn’t of founded us! We would’ve been without a sister if it weren’t for Akaka helping us! And we would’ve been back to where we started without your family and friends! And we would’ve been weaker if everyone weren’t there to snap you back up to your feet! But we’re here now thanks to them and we exist now to who we are today! Our own family, friends, enemies, and experiences molded you to who you are now!”

Omnini didn’t respond to it before to say, “No…that was just my ego that grew up- I just stayed behind.”

“No you’re wrong!” Raii said. “Remember when you lost to Sododo?! You lost because of your arrogance but when you won you were pulling your weight through the battle and even unlocked your own potential to win! You did this twice and won against him twice- something that would’ve been difficult for everyone and yet you won on your own! Sododo may of held back but even then you tried your best to surpass him! During that second fight- it wasn’t Omimi being your drive, it was the you that tried to save him! It was the real you- trying to talk convince Sododo to change back to our side! It may have been pity that started the friendship but you tried your best to help everyone be happy and even though your pride does slip now and then, you never let your own feelings go!”
The tadpole was still staring at Raii before to look to himself. In his head he remembered each of his interactions with each of the friends he made up to this point before clenching. “Y…you’re right. But it was because Iwanted to prove to everyone that I was weak and let my own emotions get the best of me. Now everyone’s giving me the cold shoulder because I was childish in this point of the fight.”

“Omnini, any part of a relationship is pain too- the pain we go through to our experiences are part of reality.” The Nobody said. “Whether you feel the pain of being slapped across the face- whether you get your feelings hurt because you hurt someone else’s feelings, or the pain that was left when the bonds are broken. Even certain lessons are painful to their own way. But what I have learned- no, what I realize is that pain always exist- because pain tells us that we are in reality- like it or not. The pain we feel tells us that we’re alive! And if you can withstand any pain that comes your way, then you’re proving that you’re stronger than you were before. And if the pain is too much to bear on your own, then maybe you can have the help of others to help you take it. Because if you can take it, the pain can become a part of you that you can follow back to the source, so you can mend it- and become stronger from the whole experience.”

“…So I was like Alvin then- trying to avoid that hurts me or at least trying to soften the blow.” Omnini commented. “So what? Does this mean I have to take every slap across the face from everyone or something?”

“Well… is still sort of ruffled from how you treated them. Maybe it’s time for you to try and change it- after all how can you be content with your friends if you’re not content with yourself? If you understood our weaknesses and shortcomings, then you can find a new will to fight; find a way for you to say that you’ll resolve it. It’s a matter of will after all- not because you can or can’t.” Raii said.

“Well…let’s face it- I became who I am because of the people around me. Without them…I’m just a wimp.” Omnini said.

“A wimp with a heart of gold. But no man is a mountain; I mean you wanted to help all those people who were transformed, but… the way you acted and how every word hanged off you were…pretty much bunching up ear wax to people.” Raii admitted.

“Why do you think I feel awful?” The other self said. “I just wish I could find something out on my own. But in all honesty, I don’t know…”

“Maybe…but you didn’t say that you couldn’t ask for help.” Raii said as he soon vanishes. However, an echoing voice called out…

“Open your heart, and maybe who can help you will come to you if you wait.”

*KH part scene ends*

Pekopon- Warehouse Base

Omnini looked he was still on the floor but his tears dried up. He looked to of moaned a bit as he slept before a door opened and closed right behind it. A bit of a ‘click’ was heard a flashlight was activated. Before someone was walking towards the floor with a light shining on the black and red Keronian, who looked towards the light with the area underneath his eyes and nose area red. “Who…?”

“Man- I never seen you like this before. I mean, when I heard you scream I thought something happened so I decided to check it out.” A voice said. “Looks like you pretty much went through the roughest ride of your life, and you lived to tell the tale.”

“S…Saka?” The Keronian individual said while trying sitting up.

“Sounds like you pissed off a lot of your friends.” ‘Saka’ admitted. “I knew you had an ego but it looked it was deflated for good. And man…the lights went in this place like mad.”

“Y-yeah…I did. It was by accident.” The Keronian said while looking down. “I couldn’t…contain my own anger, and I pretty much made everyone angry at me- because I was angry at them and accusing them of being weak- of how they didn’t want to think of fighting Vekuku, what he did- everything he did with our lives until now… my grandfather said that I should quit the army.”

“Ouch.” The individual said before noticing his condition. “But tell you what- I’ll let you crash at my place. Try to gather your thoughts and hope to find a way to fix this.”

“Thanks, Sakaki.” Omnini said before standing up. “But the only way for me to fix it is to get stronger. The tadpole soon picked up his broken sword before he tries to put it together. “I need some help. I want to know why I acted that way…”

"Can't ask me- but I think know there's someone we can ask." 'Sakaki' responded. "Let's ask her."
