“We Have the Chosen One,” “No, WE Have the Chosen One!”

I have previously written this (idea) as a “royaltystuck¹” fan fiction AU for Homestuck. As one does. The basic concept is that you have the usual Evil Empire and a small coalition of rebel countries. And as is often the case when you have an evil empire and a small coalition of rebel countries, you also have a prophecy involving a Chosen One who eventually defeats the Evil Empire and is all heroic.

The SCRC has what they think is the Chosen One and the Chosen One’s Prophesized Companions! They think they will finally defeat the Evil Empire so they go on the immediate offensive and go to war. And their Chosen One and Companions are a) defeated b) tossed into prison. This is followed by a nasty letter, the gist of which is, “Um, Maybe don’t invade us with a fake Chosen One? Or anyone else for that matter, because we’re still bigger than you?”

For you see, the Formerly Evil Empire has been under the control of their own Chosen One and Companion Chosen Ones, who also seemingly fits the prophecy, for at least a few years now! (And these other Chosen Ones kind of work better because they are actually from the Evil Empire after all.) The SCRC was mostly unaware of the goings on of the coup/revolution due to a highly closed border and certainly didn’t know anyone potentially fulfilling the prophecy was involved.

What I’d be going for is a comedy of errors as the opposing “Chosen” argue and flail at each other. Also some fun interactions as the SCRC attempt to get their Chosen Ones back. Also maybe some romance? I don’t know. At least something funny and ridiculous.
