Chapter 9

The Joker was in his hideout. He was sitting down in front of the TV and was laughing to himself. "Finally, finally I found Jigsaw's one weakness."

He then began to come up with a plan to beat Jigsaw once and for all. As he began to think he remembered the first time he had encountered Jigsaw.

Flashback

It was a chilly, rainy evening, and James Kooper was walking to an ally. He had a bad day and figured that his life was no longer worth living. His parents had been killed by a mugger, his family wanted nothing to do with him, he was failing school, and his girlfriend had just left him. He was walking up the stairs to the roof of his building, when all of a sudden; a man in a pig mask and cloak injected him with a chemical. He then blacked out.

When he woke up he was in a dark room, and was strapped to a weird device and saw a TV in front of him. All of a sudden the TV turned on and a clown puppet appeared on the screen.

"Hello James, I want to play a game." Said the puppet. "I have been watching you for the past few months, and found that you intended to kill yourself do to all of the tardily in your life. Well now we will see how bad your life was compared to everyone else's you ruined. The device you are attached to will slowly drill a hole through your through your head. You will have 2 minutes to figure out how to escape. Live or die, the choice is yours." The screen then went blank.

All of a sudden, a drill started to spin and James realized he had to find a way out. He then noticed a knife by his hand. He picked it up and cut the rope that was holding one of his hands to the chair he was in. he then cut the other rope and freed his hands. He then tried to stop the drill from drilling into his skull by grabbing it and trying to pull it off the machine. He managed to do that and then noticed a huge gash on both of his hands. All of a sudden, a puppet on a tri-cycle came out of a room and said "Congratulations James, you won the game."

What game he questioned in his mind. If torturing people had become a game, then he loved it. He then left the room and took the puppet with him. When he got home, he went into his wood carving room and to carve a mask. Once he was done carving it, he then started to paint it. As he was painting it he kept looking at the puppet and started to paint a darker image of the puppet's face on his mask. When he was done, the mask had a white face, a blood red smile carved into it, and dark circles around the eye holes. He then turned to the puppet and carved a smile into its face, and then painted the smile red.

The next day he decided to begin his terror, but first he needed some new cloths. So he went down a tailor and burst into the shop with a gun.

"Hello" He said to the man "I need a white tux, can you make one for me?"

"Yeesss, ppplease dddddon't hhurt mmmeee." He begged. He took James measurements and after 4 hours of waiting finally finished. When the tux was done James repaid the man by killing him.
