Cid and Alter Cid: A tragedy

Summary

A one-shot and a tragedy about ignorance, misunderstanding and not wanting to listen.
Cid comes face to face with herself, but the young woman is black-skinned rather than white.

Cid and Alter Cid: A tragedy

When Cid comes face to face with herself, but the young woman is black-skinned rather than white, she asks her who she is.

"I am Cid the Adventu—"

"No! I'm Cid the Adventurer!"

She grabs her Clicker Sword.

"What are you going to do with that?" Asks the dark-skinned Cid, whom we'll call Alter Cid from now on.

"Destroy you, fake me!"

Alter Cid sighs. With a war cry, Cid leaps into the air and brings her Clicker Sword down on Alter Cid, but Alter Cid uses her own sword to protect herself.

"Listen to me—" Alter Cid tries to say.

"NEVER!" Cid yells. "There can only be one Cid!"

Cid manages to fend off Alter Cid's Clicker Sword. She begins to attack her.

"I come from an alternat—"

"SHUT UP!"

Cid continues to attack her and Alter Cid has no choice but to defend herself. The two Cid hit/click on each other. After a few minutes, they both fall to the meadow floor, lifeless.

This tragedy happened because of ignorance, misunderstanding, not wanting to listen. If Cid had listened to Alter Cid, she would have known that she comes from an alternative world to her own, therefore Alter Cid is not "fake." They both had the right to exist, but it's too late now. They're both gone forever.
