A few things - if your hybrids were producing fruit very much like Carbon, it is likely the crosses didn't take - depending upon what you were crossing Carbon with - coloration like Carbon is likely going to be recessive to whatever you crossed it with...

For the small fruited one, saved seeds will produce a range of possibilities - if you want to get what you describe for Carbon Copy, you will need to grow out as many of the saved seeds as you can next year and select the plant most like what you are aiming for - save seeds from that - and repeat for a few more years.
