The True and Real Revenge!
Author's Note: If you can recall Jevil's final voice line, save for his final 'Metamorphosis,' he says; 'The true and real Chaos!' Let that be the hint that may lead you to a good prediction… and then immediately see if you were right by moving on!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Also, I want to thank all my readers who read my authentic work. But there's one person I'd like to politely ask to back off. Someone who goes by roxyluvsyou1212 on Wattpad is posting Jevil's Revenge as if it were their own. I really don't appreciate it seeing as I don't use Wattpad and you're getting recognition for my work. If you'll at least credit me as Lord Kinesis on Fanfiction as the original author, then I guess I'm okay with it if you want to share with your friends. But I'd like permission next time before you use something I'm responsible for.
That aside, carry on readers.
It was 10:00 P.M. sharp and the forest had lost all its illumination. The two lighteners and darkeners made their way to the top of the castle and glanced at their mighty foe. The Spade King was sitting there watching the dark fountain produce darkness as the group steps up slowly. Lancer levitates a few steps ahead of the others and stops once the king turns his head toward them.
"You've returned." He says in an unusually calm voice. He then faces his young teenage son with a questioning look behind his facial shadow. "Lancer, why have you invited your repulsive friends to this rooftop?" Susie subtly makes a fist at that statement.
"Well father," The spade prince responds as he looks up at his face. "I know what might seem inevitable for you. And I really want you to find the strength to accept that they mean a lot to me." The king frowns lightly and faces the other three.
"Why have you guys returned?" He asks in an angry, yet calm tone. Ralsei bravely steps forward.
"We want to give you one more chance." He comments as the king's expression changes.
"Why? Why do you guys want to forgive me?" He asks as Kris smiles charmingly.
"Well, hard to believe as it may, we all have one thing in common." He points at the young blackjack. "We love Lancer." Lancer smiles cutely.
"You see? They're good people." He remarks as the older man stands up and turns toward them.
"I'm not convinced." He says as he frowns at the cyan boy. "And last time we met, you didn't want to talk to me." He says in an annoyed tone. Susie steps forward.
"Kris was a pretty silent person a few days ago." She remarks. "But that doesn't give you the right to slaughter him with a few sharp spades." The monarch chuckles and rolls his eyes.
"Apparently no one will ever get the message." He says as he withdraws the tail out of his mouth. "The lighteners are the bad guys." Susie frowns as she and Kris put their hands on their weapons, preparing for any sudden movements.
"We can all be bad guys if you'd like you know?" The purple dragon states as she glances at Lancer. "But we can all be bad together." Lancer chuckles.
"I knew you still had a little old Susie still in you." He states before turning back to his father. "But dad, they're my friends, and if you kill them, you're only hurting me more." The king glances at them for a second.
"How do I know you're innocent?" He asks as Ralsei shrugs.
"Well for starters, we put down our weapons and I healed you." Spade shrugs lightly.
"I suppose, but what about the fact that none of my servants had to endure pain while I did?" He asks. "Did you guys even hurt anyone else?" Kris smirks lightly.
"We hurt Jevil." He says before immediately glooming.
"Well, that's no surprise. Jevil deserved it." Ralsei frowns firmly upon hearing that.
"Actually sir, we fought Jevil because we knew he'd be impossible to spare willingly." He says as the king shrugs again.
"Well if you're all trapped in one jail cell, it can turn into every man for themselves." He states as Susie frowns.
"What do you mean by jail cell?" She asks. The Spade King frowns and faces her.
"You guys fought with the crazed joker after my son threw you in solitary confinement, and then used Seam's key to escape once you were done, isn't that correct?" Kris shakes his head.
"No sir, we actually didn't meet Jevil until we noticed the mystery floor on the elevator." He says as the large spade rages subtly.
"So, you guys let him out?" He asks as Lancer smiles and nods.
"Yeah! My friends released the poor suffering jester from solitary confinement shortly before they fought you." Lancer's heart stops as his father abruptly grabs him below his collarbone and holds him up. "WHOA!" He screams in fear as Kris, Susie, and Ralsei gasp loudly and withdraw their weapons.
"YOU IDIOT!" The ruthless monarch shouts loudly as he holds his son's face close to his own. Susie quickly slashes and sends a Rude Buster at him, causing him to drop Lancer. "Hey!" He shouts as Lancer attempts to levitate away, failing as the king grabs his shoulder. "You're not going anywhere!" He exclaims as he looks back up to the three glaring friends.
"You better not touch him," Susie says with a very intimidating tone. Ralsei and Kris step forward and poise themselves.
"I'd listen to her if I were you." The young human states. "You wouldn't like Susie when she's angry." The Spade King rolls his eyes and then glances back down to his son.
"Lancer, I'm going to give you one last chance to say goodbye to them." He says as the blackjack shivers frightfully.
"WHY?!" He weeps loudly while his muscles violently shiver from the fear he's under. "WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LET THEM LIVE?!" He shouts as he continues crying massively. The king squeezes his arm firmly, causing him to wince.
"Because they have done so much damage already!" He responds furiously. "They've managed to poison you with their sentimentality, they tore this kingdom's reign apart, and now I'm learning that they're solely responsible for that maniacal imp's freedom?!" He glares at them. "Jevil was to remain in prison for eternity!" Lancer tries to pull away.
"They didn't know that!" He cries as he fails to escape his father's grip. The Spade King shrugs.
"That's fine, but they did know what they were doing when they used his solid reshaped body to battle me!" Susie sighs and steps closer to him.
"Sir, I'd like to remind you that I didn't kill you when I easily could've." She sets the head of her ax on the ground and leans on it. "But here's the thing, I'm pretty glad we released Jevil." Spade snarls.
"Is that so?" He asks in a gruff tone. Susie nods and ignores his tone.
"Would you like me to tell you why?" She asks as the brutal monarch repositions himself to her level, still powerfully restraining Lancer.
"Let me guess, you're glad you had him so you could knock the wind out of me much easier. Is that correct?" He asks as she shakes her head. "Then why is that?" The reptilian teen smirks and opens her bright red eyes so that he could see them.
"Because, up until Kris and I entered this dimension, we were trapped." She states.
"Trapped?" He asks as she nods and proceeds.
"Kris and I were trapped in a boring life with people who patronize Kris and are scared of me. When we met Lancer and Ralsei, I wanted to kill them simply for my own amusement." Spade frowns.
"So you're admitting you're an evil person?" She holds her hand up to stop him.
"Yes and no. I'm admitting I was an evil person." She points at the two boys behind her. "But Kris is the most harmless kid you'll ever meet. His parents are wonderful people, and he gets along with everyone greatly." The king frowns.
"I fail to see where you're going with this." He says as she rolls her eyes.
"Prior to meeting Jevil, I tried hard to thrash and destroy everyone I saw. But it's because they provoked battle under your ideal policy that all lighteners be killed." He frowns as she proceeds. "When we met Jevil, he was the first person Kris and Ralsei attacked, and the last person I thought I'd attack." She states before pausing for a second. "But after fighting Jevil, he joined us." She flinches as the king stomps.
"I know!" He exclaims. "So you admit you wanted Jevil's assistance to destroy me!" She metronomes her finger savagely.
"Not at all." He lowers his temper as she proceeds. "Jevil gave me the first real challenge I actually feared I'd die from. But he ended up testing our teamwork and we managed to beat him." She smiles charmingly. "That was the end of the status quo for our team." She says as he shrugs.
"Okay, but why does Lancer matter?" He asks. "He wasn't present during the fight." Susie grins and gives a happy look to her boyfriend.
"After that, Jevil brought love to our team." The Spade King raises one of his shaded eyebrows.
"Love?" He asks as Kris and Ralsei join hands.
"He brought love to our bored and lonely soles." She states as she points back to them. "Look at those boys? Aren't they adorable?" She asks as Kris kisses Ralsei's cheek. Ralsei returns a kiss on Kris's cheek as the king shakes his head subtly.
"I'm disgusted." He mumbles. "I'll admit a friendship is kinda cute, but I seriously pity that poor goat for letting a lightener capture his heart." Susie chuckles.
"Well sir, love is a beautiful thing, and we're very thankful to Jevil for giving us love." She says as he lowers his eyebrows.
"Us?" He asks. "Who are you in love with?" He asks as Lancer raises his hand. The king sneers and holds Lancer up. "Not possible!" He shouts as Lancer frowns at him.
"Dad, Susie means every word she says." He says in a calm tone. The Spade King glares.
"I don't doubt that, but I expect more from my only son!" He says as he holds Lancer forward. "Tell Susie you're not her type." Lancer turns his head aside.
"No!" He adamantly refutes. "I won't!" He sasses as the king brings his face closer to his own.
"You will never fall in love with a lightener! I'm your father, and I forbid it!" He exclaims as Lancer frowns.
"I do love Susie, and no matter what you say to me, or threaten to do to her, I won't allow." Susie's hands shiver on the edge of her ax as she holds it up.
"Well, I suggest you put him down." She warns. Spade glares deeply at Lancer.
"Are you seriously choosing a lightener over your own father?" Lancer puts his free hand on his hip.
"Yes." He sasses, only to be amazed by his reaction.
"Then you're no son of mine!" He shouts as he throws Lancer over the edge of the castle.
"AH!" He desperately screams as Susie feels her heart shatter.
"LANCER!" She quickly dashes toward the edge of the castle to watch him land, before something nearly hits her.
"SUSIE MOVE!" Ralsei yells as he pushes her aside to avoid an oncoming barrage of spades. They graze the shaded goat's skin as the reptilian girl lands out of their range. "Ow!" Ralsei drops on his knee as the barrage goes by him. Kris quickly slashes the king in the stomach.
"ARG!" He winces and swings his tail toward the human, only for him to jump over. "You have engaged in the duel! Let's begin!" He challenges as Kris glares at him.
"You are truly a deplorable person." He says calmly as Ralsei gets up and steps closer.
"I've never had the will to hate someone before!" He exclaims as he points over the roof. "I can't believe you just killed your own son!" Spade frowns.
"I did him a favor!" He asserts. "If he continued hanging out with you lighteners he'd receive a much more painful death than he did now. You'd stab him, or burn him…" He stomps loudly. "I gave him a quick and painless death." Susie gets up and faces him, her eyes are soaking in tears, but her intense glare is more extreme than ever before.
"I never thought I'd meet a father worse than my own." She says in a tone as she chokes up on tears. "But you've seriously stepped over the line." She raises her ax as he gives a mocking look.
"Awe, if I didn't know any better, I'd think you had feelings for my son." Kris and Ralsei gasp as she swiftly swings her ax at his stomach, immediately removing his taunting smirk.
"You have no clue how much Lancer meant to me! You never will!" The Spade King frowns and swings his tail at her, grazing her stomach lightly, though she manages to avoid verbal reaction to the pain.
"Get a grip little girl. You're still young and there are plenty of other boys in the world." He says as the two boys stand by her sides.
"Not to me there isn't." She says in a stronger tone as Kris and Ralsei poise themselves. "I vow to use every ounce of strength I have to shatter your flabby body entirely." She reveals her enraged red eyes. "And then feast on your ugly face when I'm done." He chuckles.
"That's pretty unpleasant." He comments as Kris steps forward.
"No more mercy." He says. "Tonight, you will perish, and Lancer shall be avenged!" Ralsei nods.
"We will smite your toxic soul with our combined willpower and sheer determination!" He says as the king reaches into his pocket.
"Good luck losers." He flashes out Jevil's deck of wildcards. "I've got Jevil's powers!" Kris and Ralsei flinch and step back reflexively, but then they lean forward and stand their ground. Susie doesn't flinch at all.
"We beat Jevil, and we beat you." She states. "I'm not at all worried we can't defeat you even if your powers are combined." He smirks.
"You're a brave one. Just the way I like my lighteners." He raises his tail. "They're so much more satisfying to murder with that attitude!" Everyone gets in their stances as he shuffles the deck. "Let the games begin!"
Lancer slowly wakes up in a pitch-black environment. He can't see or hear anything but for some reason, his entire body feels like he's trapped inside a pillow. Everything around him is soft and smells like fresh grass.
"Where am I?" He mumbles lightly. "Am I dead?" He slowly moves his tense muscles but doesn't make a lot of progress. He sighs deeply and continues laying. "Maybe it's over for me." He says in a defeated tone. "My life is over." Tears come to his hidden eyes. "And I'll never be able to see my beloved Susie again." He weeps for a few seconds. "But she's probably going to die anyways now." He begins sobbing louder as he feels something grab his arm. "Huh?" He questions in confusion. "Whoa!" The hand pulls him out and he's back in the yard beside the castle.
"Are you okay young cousin?" Lancer's eyes widen massively.
"Jevil!" He exclaims as the youthful joker hugs him. "What happened?!" Jevil sets him on the ground and points to a thick bed of clover.
"I saved your life!" He says cheerfully. Lancer gives him a confused look.
"I don't get it. How?" He asks as the jester pulls out a club card.
"I saw you falling from the castle and noticed you were about to land in the really deep hole I had the servants dig." He levitates above the fresh four leaves. "So I played the graceful clover garden card inside the hole and the tall thick garden broke your fall." Lancer begins crying a waterfall.
"Oh my god, that was so SCARY!" He sobs loudly as Jevil floats closer and pats him on the back. "Thank you so much!" He says thankfully in a loud voice as he continues crying. The joker hugs him softly.
"Don't cry Lancer. You're safe now." Jevil says in a comforting tone. Lancer looks up at him.
"I can't stop crying. Not now knowing that Kris, Ralsei, and Susie are about to be killed by my mean-spirited father!" Jevil sighs and squats to match his head level.
"Lancer, I'm extremely sorry, but I must ask you one more time." The blackjack halts his tears and looks into his eyes. "Do I have permission to kill your father?" Lancer sniffles and nods.
"Okay, but please, please make sure my friends make it out alive!" Jevil gives him a serious look.
"You have my word Lancer. I won't let him kill them." He says as he looks up the tall building. "But I'll never make it in time…" He gets an idea. "Lancer, can I borrow your bike?" The spade boy overcomes his tears and nods.
"I'd be insulted if you didn't." He gives him a brave prayerful look. "Please hurry." Jevil nods.
"I promise I won't let you down." He says as he runs into the castle. He gets on Lancer's newly inflated tiers and revs it up. "Now's the time for my real revenge!"
Meanwhile, at the top, the three allies struggle to maintain their strength against the mighty ruler's power. Kris breathes heavily as he faces his friends.
"How are you guys feeling?" He asks as Ralsei's legs shake lightly.
"This is very overwhelming." He says in an exhausted tone. Susie glares at the blue monarch.
"This is unbelievable!" She complains. "You're cheating beyond belief!" The king chuckles and shrugs.
"Why are you guys complaining? I haven't hit you very many times yet." He states as Kris raises his sword, the weight of the sword feels heavier each time he exhales.
"We've been dodging everything to the best of our ability. It's very exhausting." He admits as the Spade King chuckles.
"You children are so wimpy. I'm standing here letting you hit me all you want." He points at Ralsei. "And I haven't needed to heal once you little spineless mage." Ralsei glares.
"It's so pitiful that you can't come close to beating us without Jevil's powers." The King smirks darkly.
"Is that a challenge? How about I go back to pure spades?" He says as a circle of spades surrounds Ralsei. "Have fun!" Ralsei gasps as the ring-around hovers closer to him.
"Whoa!" He runs around in a circle to avoid the first ring, and the second one right after. As he begins avoiding the third ring, the spades flip over in his track, slicing him in multiple spots. "Ow! Ah!" Kris gasps as the remaining spades all close in on the shaded goat.
"RALSEI!" The cyan boy screams fearfully as the gentle creature exhales.
"Ow." He mumbles before stumbling on his legs and falling motionless on the floor. Kris glares as Susie speaks up.
"You just cheated on that move!" She exclaims as he shrugs.
"I don't need to play by the rules." He mocks. "Jevil may treat fighting like a game, but I treat all fights like a war, and in war, all is fair." Kris and Susie charge at him together. Their weapons graze the lips on his stomach as he winces quietly. "Okay, my turn." He says as Kris steps back. "OW!" He exclaims before he clashes his tail against Susie's ax. "I said my turn!" Susie forcefully weighs down his tail.
"If you're not playing by the rules, I'm not going to either!" She shouts as a few diamonds appear below her feet.
"Susie! Move!" Kris shouts as Susie steps back. She backs into a very thick club as it slams against her bones.
"OW!" The force pushes her forward and the diamonds begin painfully shredding her frontal body and arms. "Ah!" She holds still and tenses up to endure the searing pain. Kris runs forward with fear.
"SUSIE! GET AWAY FROM HIM!" He screams as another heavy barrage of spades fly through and graze her painfully. Kris's arm gets cut as well. "OW!" The human's eyes begin producing tears as he drops his sword and squeezes his painfully aching arm. "Susie?" He desperately asks as the soundless dragon lies on the floor. A shallow pool of blood begins soaking the area around her as the king laughs.
"Ha, ha, ha!" He grabs the motionless dragon and throws her against the wall next to Ralsei. The suffering human looks up and sees his eye through his facial shadow.
"Sir, please. We surrender." Kris states as the Spade King smirks darkly.
"Is that so?" He asks as Kris steps back away from his sword.
"Please your majesty, I really don't want to continue fighting." He says as Spade surprisingly stays put as he moves further and further away.
"You're a very brave boy for a lightener." He says as he points behind himself. "And so, I'm willing to grant you mercy." Kris flinches and raises an eyebrow.
"Mercy? You?" The king nods and continues pointing behind himself.
"I sympathize for a young lad that is trapped in an environment full of people in opposition to yourself." He sighs. "I was that one darkener once." Kris sighs in relief.
"You're letting me go?" He asks as the king nods.
"Yes, the fountain is that way. If you leave now, I'm sure I can undo whatever damage might be caused." He lowers his hand and grabs his tail. "But please leave immediately." He insists as the cyan boy smiles lightly.
"Oh, thank you very much." He says as he grabs Ralsei by the arm. A lone diamond hits him in the shoulder. "Ouch!" He faces the monarch and frowns. "What was that for?!" He asks as the king begins frowning.
"I said you may go. But the other lightener and traitorous darkener are going to stay and receive their punishment for their betrayal!" He steps forward as Kris shivers a few times in fear. "Unless you'd rather die with them." He says as Kris begins sweating. "What'll it be?" The young lad glances at his greatly injured boyfriend and then turns to his badly hurt classmate. He pauses for a few seconds as the king summons three spades on both sides of him. "You're quiet again." He says in an angered tone. "You know people like that bother me right?" Kris glares deeply into his eyes.
"I will not abandon my friends no matter what!" He asserts as the spades close in on him, cutting both sides of his body. "Ouch!" He kneels in pain as the king summons three spades above all three of them.
"Pitiful lightener." He darkly says. "You could've accepted my mercy, but you couldn't agree to my standards." The spades raise slightly to build momentum. "Say goodbye." Just as the spades are lowered, an even bigger horizontal spade appears above the lighteners to block the small ones. "What the hell?!" The king exclaims as a fast-moving object charges toward him.
"SPADE SHIELD!" The joker exclaims as he hops the bike over the solid shovel tip and powerfully crashes into the Spade King's face.
"OUCH!" He immediately falls backwards, but catches himself with his arms. Kris's eyes widen at the sight of the person on the bike.
"Jevil!" He exclaims with excitement as the joker spins around and slams into the king's back.
"AGH!" He falls forward as the courageous jester backflips off the seat and lands in front of the lighteners.
"Are you okay my human friend?" He asks as the cyan boy begins crying lightly, smiling in the process.
"You're back." He weakly says as the joker humbly shrugs. "And you're young again."
"I've been freed from my elderly curse. I feel stronger than ever before." He says as the king gets back on his feet.
"How'd you undo my curse?!" He shouts as Jevil smirks savagely and turns toward him.
"Well Uncle Spade, I'm afraid the spirit of fun has canceled out the effect of the immortality dispel." He states as he pulls out a large air horn. "Now back away from my teammates!" He presses the button and the screeching sound produces a powerful shockwave.
"AGH!" The king slams his hands against the sides of his head as the air within the horn pushes him backwards. Jevil takes his finger off the top and levitates closer.
"What did you think of that Uncle Spade?" He asks as the king angrily grips his left leg.
"Alright! That's it! You're going to-"
"Oh, do you like my flower?" He interrupts as he holds a water flower on his shirt forward.
"What?" The king asks in confusion as a clear liquid squirts out of it and lands on his face. It begins burning his eyes massively. "AH!" He screams in agony as he lets go of Jevil and aids his eyes. "WHAT IS THAT STUFF?!" Jevil shrugs.
"It's holy water." He says as the king stands straight and glares. "You're so much fun to prank." He says with an amused look on his face as the king summons a few hearts.
"You want to brawl?!" He asks in fury as Jevil nods.
"Oh, I'd be so glad to." He says before holding his finger up. "But first, you need to promise me one thing." The Spade King shrugs. "Promise me you won't hurt the lighteners anymore until I'm dead." He insists as the king chuckles.
"Yeah, let's shake on it." He holds his left arm out and holds his right one behind his back.
"Good, agreed!" Just as the ruthless monarch is about to cross his fingers, he feels an electrical current flow through his body.
"YOW!" His right arm flies out and retracts his left arm. Jevil giggles repeatedly as the king glares at the buzzer on his hand.
"Gotcha again!" He celebrates as the king sighs in fury. "And this time you didn't cross your fingers." The king stomps.
"I was going to!" He exclaims as the jester savagely metronomes his finger.
"Well, you didn't get to this time." He says as he opens his eyes. "So this time, you can't break that promise." Spade grabs his sharp tail and poises.
"And what will you do about it if I don't stick to that promise?" He asks as the air horn goes off again. "AH!" He shoves his hands to his head to block the sound as Jevil smirks and stops.
"Let the games begin." The king glares and summons a few spades behind him.
"That's it! TAKE THIS!" The spades fly toward Jevil, only for him to teleport and the spades strike the monarch in the chest. "OW!" He exclaims as Jevil teleports behind him.
"You want to backstab me, then I'll frontstab you!" He continues laughing in an annoying pitch as the king swings his tail around.
"You and your stupid comedy props!" He exclaims as Jevil ducks under the tail. "Hold still!" He keeps ducking as the sturdy tail keeps missing him. The king stops for a second as Jevil teleports in front of him.
"Oh, are we playing limbo? I love that game!" He exclaims as he grabs a thick expandable wooden baton out of his pocket.
"We're not playing- OW!" Jevil rams forward and bonks the top of his head with the sideways poll, causing him to growl in anger.
"Oops, you failed miserably. You probably would've done better if you could tilt back on that out of shape pile of fat you call your body." The king grabs Jevil by the arm and slams him against the ground. "AI!" The joker exclaims as he stares at the king.
"You're done for, now Jevil!" He exclaims as he slams the top of his tail over Jevil's head.
"YOWIE!" He exclaims as his head springs around. He gathers his strength and grabs a bottle out of his pocket. "There's a real surprise. Just like this." He holds the bottle in front of the king's eyes and BOOM!
"AH!" The ruthless monarch lets go and steps back as a bunch of small paper shreds of rainbow colors float around him. "What the hell was that?!" Jevil chuckles.
"Confetti in a bottle." He states. "It's got a bit of a kick to it." The king throws his tail forward and it latches onto Jevil. "What's this?" He asks as he fails to teleport. The Spade King gives him a sinister grin as countless projectiles of all suits appear all around him.
"You're trapped! And now I'm going to strike you with all my powers at once!" The projectiles home in quickly before a loud, slow sound going from high to low pitch is played. "What the hell is that?!" The king asks as the projectiles slow down drastically until their formerly straight pattern is staggered to the point they hover around Jevil, missing him entirely. Jevil takes the comedic flute out of his mouth.
"It's a slide whistle." He states as he looks around. "As the pitch gets lower, your weapons get slower!" All the projectiles straighten out as the king pulls Jevil closer with his tail. He aims all the projectiles toward him.
"This time you won't be able to dodge them." He says as the joker smiles menacingly.
"Aw, you're so saintly." He puts a hand to his flower. "How about some more holy water?" He asks as the flower shoots another wave of agonizing water into his eyes.
"AH!" Jevil leans backwards and ducks as the projectiles fly past him and slash the king in so many places. "Ah! Ow! Yah!" The joker unlatches himself and plays the slide whistle again, the projectiles speed up and continue striking the king. "GAH!" He exclaims in agony as Jevil grabs his baton.
"Gotcha!" He teleports closer and slams the heavy object on top of his head.
"OIY! Ah." The king falls on his back, causing a loud thud on the floor. Jevil smirks and retracts the wildcards out of the king's pocket.
"I'll be taking back what's rightfully mine now." He says as he glances back to the lighteners. Kris finally gathers the strength to stand up straight. He smiles proudly as the jester levitates toward him.
"Good job Jevil." He says proudly as Jevil glances at Susie and Ralsei.
"Are they alright?" He asks as the handsome lad nods.
"I think so." The Joker smiles and faces him.
"And are you alright Kris?" The human puts his hand on Jevil's shoulder.
"Yes, thank you for checking." He says as Jevil puts a hand to his heart.
"No problem, now please allow me to soothe your wounds." His body begins glowing brightly before an unexpected barrage of spades strikes them both.
"OW!" Both yell as Kris falls on his knees. Jevil quickly turns around to see a large spade clash against his face.
"OW!" His head bobbles around as the king pulls his tail back like a fishing rod, pulling the helpless joker with it. "WHOA!" Jevil shivers nervously as the Spade King's huge hands completely immobilize his arms. "Oh no." He mumbles as the ruthless monarch turns around and holds him on the ground.
"You should've never come back, you idiot." He says in a tough tone as he raises his fist. "Now suffer!" He firmly punches the Joker's face.
"OW!" Jevil feels the back of his head hit the floor as the king raises his fist again.
"SUFFER!" He slams the vulnerable jester again, fracturing his cheekbones.
"OW!" Jevil's jaw begins bleeding and his eyes water as the king strikes him again. "OW!" The angry monarch lifts him up and throws him against the wall. His back crashes against the solid tower's rock. "AH!" He descends to the ground and flops forward. "Ow." He weakly mumbles as he lightly lifts his head up to see the king walk back toward the defenseless lighteners.
"No," Kris mumbles hopelessly as the king lifts him up and summons three poised spades above his head.
"Let's finish this quickly. Shall we." He asks as the joker quickly summons a circle of hearts and launches them at him. "Ah!" The king turns around with the human in his arms as a thick red Devil's Knife hurls toward his body. "Oh dammit!" He exclaims as the knife pushes against him and knocks him forward. "Whoa!" He stumbles around to try balancing over the edge of the castle.
"Let me go!" Kris pleads as he struggles to escape his firm grip.
"Never! If I go down, you're coming with me!" Jevil teleports in front of him and points the lid of another loaded party popper toward him.
"Time to go out with a bang!" He mercilessly flips the top off. BOOM! Confetti bursts toward the two and the king loses his balance!
"AAAAHHHH!" They both scream as they fall. The king holds Kris forward and prepares to land him on the bottom. The boy quickly glooms at him as the king glares.
"You'll crash first! Pitiful lightener!" As Kris closes his eyes to abandon all hope, something goes off.
HOOONNNKKKK!
"AH!" Spade lets go of Kris and aids his ears. "Huh? AH!" He fails to grab the young lad as they both continue falling. "Hm?" Spade smirks once he spots the garden of thick clovers he's about to land in. "Ha." He closes his eyes and waits patiently to land, only for Jevil to teleport next to the garden.
"DIAMOND BLADE!" Three thick diamonds grow out of the ground and the solid tips pierce the Spade King's back.
"OH!" He holds his breath and bides the pain. Kris closes his eyes and braces for impact...
"Gotcha!" Jevil exclaims as he successfully catches the human boy in his arms. Kris takes a deep breath and sighs in relief.
"YGAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Spade painfully releases a loud agonizing scream as Jevil levitates closer, Kris still in his arms. The suffering ruler turns his head to face the jester as tears forcibly fall out of his eyes.
"I have won." Jevil mumbles with a disappointed frown on his face. "This is all your fault." The king glares and coughs as his blood slides down the shiny crystals.
"My fault?" He asks as Jevil nods.
"Indeed. You let your hatred for lighteners lead to the sudden end to so many innocent lives." He says as he sheds a tear. "And you killed my best friend." The king's breathing gets heavier to the point every breath he takes, he yawns.
"I needed to avenge my family under any means necessary." Jevil shakes his head.
"Killing everyone potentially affiliated isn't necessary. You let the hatred you had guide you to so much genocide." Kris sheds a couple tears himself as Jevil lightly hugs him. "But this lightener, Kris Dreemurr, is my friend." He pauses and frowns, not angry, but disappointed. "And today, the harm you brought to him, is the very reason you're where you're at now." He closes his eyes. "Goodbye Uncle Spade." He turns around and begins descending to the ground. The king stops breathing the second they're back on the grass.
"Thank you very much for saving me Jevil," Kris says as the jester sets him back on his feet. He has an unusual gloom on his face.
"No Kris, I'm the one who needs to thank you." He says as he puts his arm to the young lad's right shoulder. "Thanks for hanging in there as long as you could." He says with a higher level of sincerity than he's ever used before. "I'm so grateful you're alive." Kris smiles and hugs the joker.
"I wouldn't be alive right now if you hadn't come back for us." He says as Jevil hugs him back, tears streaming down his face. "Why'd you do it?" He asks as the joker sniffles and looks into his eyes.
"I lost my best friend today." He says as he hiccups once. "I wanted to kill myself to join him, and he told me something serious."
"What did he tell you?" The cyan boy asks as Jevil smiles coyly, tears still streaming, though slower.
"Well, he said it's not my time yet." Jevil answers. "And I thought, it's not your time yet either." Kris smiles lightly but glooms as the young spade prince levitates to them with tears in his face.
"Lancer?" The human asks as Jevil lets go and turns around. He gasps when he sees the look on the sad blackjack's face.
"I'm so sorry." The Joker says as Lancer stares at his father's impaled corpse.
"He's gone." He says in an emotionless tone. "I'm now an orphan." Kris steps up and hugs the spade boy.
"It's okay." He whispers reassuringly before pausing. "Wait, you don't like hugs, do you?" He asks as Lancer hugs the handsome teen back.
"Please don't let go yet." He continues crying as Kris squeezes him lightly.
"It's alright Lancer." He whispers as they both cry together. "Don't cry. You're okay." They both cry for a few seconds before Lancer finally stops and regains his breath.
"Okay, I'm done moping." He says as Kris lets go of him. He then faces his older cousin. "Is Susie okay?" Jevil smiles lightly.
"Susie and Ralsei are both still alive." He says. "I'll go get them." He teleports to the top, grabs Ralsei, and then teleports back down. He then does the same for Susie. Both injured friends lightly raise their heads and breath audibly.
"Kris?" Ralsei mumbles weakly.
"Lancer?" Susie says in an equally weak tone. She tries to get up but fails to support her body. "You're alive?" Lancer smiles and wraps his arms around her back.
"I'm alive." He says as he continues crying subtly. "I'm so relieved to see you're alive too." Susie manages to wrap her arms around him as well.
"How'd you survive your terrible fall?" She asks as Lancer points to the jester.
"Jevil saved my life." Kris smiles and steps forward.
"He saved all of us." He says as he helps Ralsei stand up. Ralsei taps his glasses and stares at Jevil.
"Wait, Jevil? You look young again." The joker smirks.
"I feel young again." He admits as he levitates closer. "I hope that's alright." The shaded goat smiles cutely and nods.
"Of course, it's alright." He says as Susie gives him a questioning look.
"How'd you do it?" Jevil smiles and shrugs.
"Well, I had fun." He says as she raises an eyebrow.
"Fun is the key to your eternal youth?" He nods.
"It is." He glances toward the Spade King's corpse. "And I let that lead me to win this battle." He then faces the four heroes. "But more importantly, I needed to be there to save you." Susie smiles, Lancer stops crying and smiles with her, as do Ralsei and Kris.
"You cared about us?" Ralsei asks as Jevil smiles innocently and sincerely.
"I love you guys." He says as he glances at the Miraculous Heartthrob card he'd recently used. "More so than any amount of artificial love could ever provide." He sets the card back in his pocket and faces them again. "You guys are my new friends, and I knew that if I was going down, I needed to do everything I could to protect you." Kris steps forward and puts his hand on his shoulder.
"You're a really sweet person Jevil. How'd you ever find the will to fight for us the way you did?" The jester chuckles.
"I can do anything." He says as he begins glowing. "So now, please let me use my abilities to heal you guys." He puts his right hand to his heart and his left one on Kris's shoulder. The cyan boy smiles charmingly as all his pain goes away.
"Thanks, Jevil." He says as the joker stops and makes eye contact with him, his face shows no signs of aging the way it had before.
"You're very welcome good sir." He says as he levitates up to Susie. "Your turn young lady." The reptilian teen smiles passionately as the joker repeats the process on her. All her inner strength returns to her body as he stops glowing and gives her a happy look. "How do you feel?" Susie brushes her hair aside so he can see her eyes.
"Better than ever." She answers. "Thank you." Jevil nods and then faces the shaded goat.
"Well Ralsei, would you like me to soothe your injuries?" Ralsei smiles cutely.
"I would, but I'm worried. Do you feel like you're aging?" Jevil smiles and shakes his head.
"I will admit I'm getting kinda tired, but I still feel like a young, twenty-five-year-old man." He puts his hand to his heart and glows brightly. Ralsei's cuts close and his pulse regains it's healthy pace. Jevil opens his eyes and looks into the goat's cute eyes. "Do you feel better now?" He asks as Ralsei nods happily.
"I feel much better now, thank you." He passionately responds. Jevil yawns and rubs his eyes.
"I'm pretty tired now. I had an exciting day." He faces Lancer. "Is the master bedroom available?" Lancer turns toward him.
"Huh? Oh yeah." He regains his focus. "The soft bed is all yours tonight." Jevil nods proudly.
"Thanks Lancer. I'll see you all tomorrow morning." He says as he enters the castle. Ralsei looks at the dark sky.
"It's almost eleven o'clock. We should all go to bed." He says as Kris nods in agreement.
"I guess all four of us should share the other bedroom." He says as Susie faces her boyfriend.
"Hey Lancer, what were you just looking at?" The spade boy points at his father's corpse.
"My hateful dad." He says in a melancholy tone. "I just don't know what I'm going to do now." He admits as the purple dragon warmly hugs him and lifts him up.
"Aw, sweetie. I'll give you all the love your dad should've provided, I promise." She kisses him on the cheek, causing him to blush lightly.
"Thanks, honey." He responds upon giggling twice. "But still, what am I supposed to do now?" He asks as Kris faces the dark prince.
"Ralsei, how much longer until the calamity occurs?" He asks as Ralsei smiles lightly.
"Well without the Spade King, we've got a couple extra weeks before the end of the world. That tyrant's death bought us quite a bit of extra time." Kris smirks.
"I've got an idea."
Author's Note: And, the chapter you were all waiting for, is complete. I expected this story to take a little longer, but I think I can end this one in only one more chapter. Until then, have a nice day!
