Mad Maddy Pov:
"They say that evil never dies, it evolves into something either beautiful or horrible. However it can sometimes be made, much like Trickster since his story has been shared across the kingdom. Stitched together in Halloween town by Oogie Boogie and a demoness from another world, if they could do that then why can't I? I mean you just need the right parts along magic to bring a powerful being to life. After the first one failed with puppets, I decided to go with more 'ancient' ways to bringing to life a monster like Trick. Meaning finding body parts from the graveyard along get some people who had a score to settle with Trick and the others, luckily this was a perfect moment as a storm had come about. Meaning the best way to create a monster, is with magic and the spark of life."
Month Ago-Night Time
Upon a darken night with a storm falling upon Auradon where the sky was lighting up with thunder, was a abandon windmill where there was a experiment happening. Within the building was several devices along tools brought in where individuals were working on a project focused both on vengeance and wickedness. Working near a slab was a young adult with black hair and wearing a dark blue trench coat, holding several vials and having a table of blades by the side. He was working on a body, in which was half way done.
"Damn it! I need more parts. Where is that excuse for a huntsman?"
Sounding upset as the one working on the experiment was Zevon, son of Yzma as well was called upon by Maddy and Ginny for this project since they needed someone who had a way with science. Along brought in Hunter, son of the huntsman that severed the Evil Queen along having a hatred for Trick for stealing Evie from him. Just as Zevon was working on the project, the door opened which at the right moment was the sound of thunder which frighten Zevon. At the entrance was Hunter who had a sag full of what seemed like objects for the experiment.
"I heard that, as well how you should be careful since I can remove that tongue before you could finish a sentence."
Threatening him since when he was called upon by Maddy, he refused since it involved making another Trickster. Except it would be made to take him out with no hesitation, seeing the opportunity for revenge he decided to accept the job.
"Threats, threats. That's basically feelings of how Evie dumped you right when it seemed you were about to get 'revenge'. Seriously you should invest in a hobby."
Zevon not being threatened by Hunter as the boy placed the bag right the side as it had several parts needed. Few pieces of gears along metal as it would be opposite to Trick's body, Zevon putting in several of the items within the body. Hunter merely scuffs of how it seemed unlikely for this to work.
"It still makes no sense to make another one of Trick. What they should do is possibly make me into something like him, that way I could get my revenge and soon claim Evie as my own."
Praising how he could be the love of Evie's heart since if she loved a monster he could become one. Zevon merely laughed mocking the hunter seeing how he could become something that was just as dangerous as Trick was signing away his life.
"Please. Trick is a creature that no one could match, only one made can rival his personality. You being a candidate is being a balloon filled with water, you'll blow up."
Stating to how if Hunter offered to be that of a 'equal' to Trick it would only kill himself due to what Oogie put in him. Gripping his fist willing to punch the scientist, they heard that of some stumbling in the basement as they heard some chemicals brewing along several grunting sounds which was the serious work in progress.
"Really? Cause if you don't get this body up and walking about. I won't be the one 'blown' up."
Taunting Zevon as Hunter snickered that after him spending time alone, he's improved on his scientific abilities involving vial creation along transformation. However when he was called upon this, it was under the circumstances he was creating a new vial. Not making a monster, the two men heard suddenly the basement door opening which had the two jump a bit frightened at what was going on.
"Perfection!"
Shouted a voice from within the basement as it was Mad Maddy who came out having formulating a spell that would help them bring the creation to life. Holding a vial of green liquid and walking out to join the others, Ginny merely looked freaked out as she was with Maddy during the process of what happened in the basement.
"I can't believe for the past five hours we've been down there. All to make that junk."
Ginny complaining as most of her clothes were covered in dirt as well spills due to how Maddy needed a hand to help her. In which she was the only one that Maddy would ever need since she considered her the one girl to trust. Maddy, wasn't listening as she was gazing upon her formula that she had been working on.
"Don't worry my pet, this evil will be under our control. Cause I made sure unlike certain people, this will be motivated by one goal. Ending Trickster."
Maddy referencing Zevon who's own plans had been folly along Hunter getting beaten at the same time. This was different as this was a plan that involved science and magic at the same time. Pouring the vial within the body, she looked at Zevon to make sure everything was sewed up as well put together correct so nothing came out or fell apart.
"Well with how the procedure is going as well that the limbs are fully intact. This is a perfect copy of Trick, and without the morals of the original."
He stated of how unlike Trick, this version will focus on one thing. Utter wickedness and the humiliation of Mal as well anyone affiliated with her. Maddy smiled at this confidence as she poured the substance within the body which made a gross sound as the formula was placed in. Sure enough they heard a rumbling sound outside as the thunder was coming close.
"It's time Maddy."
Ginny claimed as she made sure the rooftop was ready for the accession as the two would use electricity to bring the creation to life. The boys stand back as Maddy merely pulled the lever as she smiled at the slab rising right to the rooftop.
"Prepare yourselves, for the birth of a true wicked being. Made from parts across the land to rival even that of Beast and Hercules."
Maddy stated as she spent the last weeks traveling to different parts of the kingdom and surviving all manners of encounters with several creatures and individuals. She stole as well bought pieces to help form this creation of hers. The others looked up seeing the slab making it to the surface where the sky continued to light up with thunder. Shapeshifting into a crow, Maddy flew up right underneath the slab where she gazed upon the body.
"Throw the switches!"
Announcing to Zevon as the boy rushed over to the control sight where he pulled two of the levers that activated two metal poles that stood right by the slab. With the sky continuing to surge more making the others panic, however it wasn't getting to the slab meaning Maddy would lose her shot at bringing her creation to life.
"Throw the third switch!"
Shouting more as Zevon merely look hesitated as the third lever could destroy them all, however Ginny gestured him to do it as the frighten scientist did what she said. The outside of the windmill caused most of the tiles to form a metal alignment which would hit the slab right on the spot.
"This should be interesting."
Hunter stated as the storm made him jump a bit as he hid behind the stairs, while Maddy embraced the lighting as it soon struck the metal which trailed right to the slab. Right above them the three see how Maddy was laughing in a mad manner of how it was working. A wicked smile grew upon her face along her arms reaching out like if she wanted the heavens to see what she was making.
"Life! Life do you hear me?! Give my creation, life!"
Yelling into the sky as they saw how Maddy seemed to dedicated into bringing this 'monster' to life. Suddenly just as if the sky listen to her command, the clouds shot a powerful bolt of lighting at the windmill. Rocking it back and forth as if they were in the storm, the electricity rushed threw the metal right to the slab. Watching the body glow with energy, everyone was blinded by the light as well unable to process what was happening right in front of them. Meanwhile for Maddy, she looked at how the lighting was dying down.
"Bring it down!"
Telling them below as Hunter was lucky enough to be near the lever as he brings the slab down back to the ground. As the slab begun to descend right back to where it was being made, Maddy rushed down the stairs where she was excited to see what she had created. Taking a moment to gaze upon the body, the four waited to see if anything would happen.
"Do you think it'll wake up love?"
Ginny questioning Maddy if the creature would awake and move, however Maddy didn't know if it would work as it needed a few minutes for the body to awake. Hunter merely breathed in annoyed of how they had to wait for the creature to wake up.
"Forget patience, if he's supposedly to be like Trick. Then he should survive being stabbed in the heart like him."
Suggesting how the only way to wake up the creation was to knife him, pulling out one from his belt he was about to see if he was durable. Before the others could stop him, Hunter's hand was stopped by the creation who was holding it tight.
"I can, but I don't want my body yet."
The creature said as everyone was shocked at how it was quickly to respond to that threat. Stepping back the cloak figure threw Hunter right out of the door. The others moved away as the saw the creature remove the cloak as well showing off his body, which was covered in stables along other types of body parts. His face appearing half human as well animal mashed together, merely smiled at how he felt incredible.
"Hunter don't know that it's getting up. Risen from the slab, something truly unholy."
The three singing as they saw how the creature was taking a moment to look at himself. From his body being disoriented along starting to move, he had to try and move his new body. He twisted around towards the others smiling of how he was thankful for being brought to life.
"A lucky, lucky girl. She made a monster like me to cause trouble and hell. She'd kick me out if she ever knew, about the things I'm about to do."
Walking over to Maddy in a fast motion which surprised her of how fast he move, Ginny went in front of Maddy worried if he might hurt her. However he didn't as he laughed at her bravery to protect her. Hearing the sounds of Hunter getting up as the creature stumbled outside where he wanted to see what else he can do.
"Dirty, dirty boy. You know everyone is talkin' on the scene. I hear them whispering about the places that you've been. And how you don't know how to keep your business clean."
Taunting him in a sly manner as Hunter merely took it aggressively as he brought out a small club from his belt. Swinging at the side of his face, he almost dislocated the creation's head. However it snapped back on and smiled at how he was getting the feeling, meanwhile the others watch at the two fighting each other in the stormy night.
"Hunter don't know that it's getting up. Risen from the slab, something truly unholy. He's panicking by the horror, that's been brought to life, by Mad Maddy."
Singing at the fight as with how Hunter was skilled with his weapons as well tried to go for the fatal blows. The creation was toying with him as he was using him body to move around him like a snake, along laughing how this was the few minutes of his life starting and was loving every second.
"Oh-we-oh-we-oh, there's no escaping. Ho-we-oh-we-oh, there's no hiding. Hunter don't know that it's getting up. Risen from the slab, something truly unholy."
Continuing the performance as well showing off his remarkable movement, he was able to freak out Hunter and trip him back into the dirt. Grabbing the club he fired the outfit as well smiled how he was getting the killer instinct, ready to attack Hunter on the spot. Ginny went right by his shoulder and spun him around which had the curious creature fascinated with the attractive woman getting his attention.
"Mm, baby, baby, if you want to start the show. You'd better follow us for we the experts of wickedness. You going need to bag it up 'cause I'm making a masterpiece, when I'm done with you, they'll scream in fear."
Instructed him as she brought him back into the windmill along to the basement where there was a assortment of clothing ready to be worn just for him. Looking amazed by the collection, Ginny introduced him to several items that would be appropriate for him to wear. Meanwhile for Maddy, she was crossing her arms at how her creature was getting himself dressed as well the ideas of how he would be her instrument of destruction.
"And he, he better make my enemies pay for what they've done. Make Mal and everyone making me feel like a peasant, cause when he'll tear them up and throw them out to sea. Everyone will see who the true queen will be."
Praising about herself of how she'd become queen once she rid herself of Mal along the others, due to how she still planned on being possibly the next queen of wickedness. Continuing to think about her ideals, Maddy didn't notice that the creature had his clothing ready. While in the other room was Hunter preparing to attack the creature again as Zevon tried to stop him, except rising from the basement was the creature except now fully clothed. He was wearing what looked like similar to Trick's style, except it resembled a Jester as well bowing to him in a taunting manner.
"Hunter don't know that it's getting up. Risen from the slab, something truly unholy. He's panicking by the horror, that's been brought to life, by Mad Maddy."
The others continuing the song as Hunter decided to try and punch him. Except the creature held his wrist and begun to twist it, the strength of the creature forced the huntsman to kneel before him. Maddy smiled at how her creation was a improvement of Trickster, along showed no signs of stopping as he enjoyed the pain he was giving Hunter.
"Oh-we-oh-we-oh, there's no escaping. Ho-we-oh-we-oh, there's no hiding. Hunter don't know that it's getting up. Risen from the slab, something truly unholy."
Finishing the song as Maddy saw how this was a perfect display of his chaos personality. Whistling to him, the creature let's go of Hunter as well smiled at how they believed he could have break his wrist.
"I was just playing a simple prank, I wasn't going hurt him. Much."
Stating to his creator along showed a sign of how he was ready to do a terrible act, however he stopped seeing how there was something in his sentence that caught his attention. Meanwhile for Zevon, he seemed to be rather concern for how the creation was acting.
"Are you sure this is a 'success'? I mean I'd love to see Trickster along the others pay for what they've done to us in the past. However he seems, complicated."
Expressing a voice of reason seeing that Trick could be dangerous on his own, however he had restraint when it came to a fight. This one didn't seem to hold anything back, in which he was willing to break one of their own just for the mere fun of it. Maddy nodded of how her creation seem to be just a dangerous like she was.
"That's the point. He needs to be better than Trick, as well able to hold nothing back. Though what he needs is a name, which from how my pet has given him the proper clothing. I believe it be.."
"Prank."
Interrupting her as the creature, who had given himself a name merely showed a expression of delight that if he was going to look like a jester. He'd need a name that would relate to Trickster but be more familiar, as well allow him to turn it into a dreadful name. Rushing up to the slab he was on, he merely struck a pose as he looked to the sky seeing how this was his moment.
"Prankster! The all dangerous, all sinister masked VK of destruction!"
Announcing his name to his creators which at the proper moment. The sky caused the let out a thunderous roar which freaked out Zevon and Hunter like if he did it on command. While for Maddy and Ginny, the two women merely smiled of how with their combination of style and magic. They had made something that could rival possibly anyone in Auradon, they now needed a place where they could introduce him in which he could see his original copy.
Mad Maddy's Hideout-Present Time
It was morning and Maddy decided to retreat back to her hideout with Ginny along Zevon since after the creation of Prankster. Hunter decided to leave since after that night, having a doppelganger that was twice as derange as Trick was enough for him. Meanwhile for Maddy, she was moving back and forth in her base waiting for Prankster to return back from meeting Trickster.
"You should relax, I mean with how we've taught him on how to avoid getting shot, dodging blades as well not being surprised by anything. He might feel confident in fighting Trick."
Ginny being Maddy's support since she's had her back during the months of their last scheme. However for Zevon was here since he had a hand in this project, so he was envious to see what was going on.
"I still think it was to early, we should have done it in a much public area. That convention is to crowded with weirdo's in costumes, it be confusing to figure out who was Trickster."
Stating that the Oogie VK had become rather infamous and had fans that would try to cosplay as him, so finding the right Trickster would be a challenge. However as he continued to think that it was a bad idea, he didn't notice behind him was Prank. Who somehow managed to sneak back into the hideout, waving to Maddy and Ginny. The two merely chuckled of how silent he was being as Zevon barely noticed, however as he turned around he noticed the masked creation looking at him.
"Really? Cause to me your confusing with that smug look on your face."
Taunting him as it caused him to tumble back and land on the ground. Prank laughed at how Zevon was frightened by him as well how he barely noticed how he was right behind him. Maddy coughing to the creation, Prank turned around and skipped to a bean bag where he sat right on it ready to explain his introduction to Trickster.
"So I met the guy, serious wuss. Took one swing and he fell right to a food cart. He was speechless about my strength that he didn't get back up, I mean seriously from how you made him sound I could have.."
Before he could continue how he humiliated Trickster, Maddy merely slapped him beside the head making him yell of how strong it was. Rubbing the side and looking confused by the hit, Prank saw how Maddy looked upset and that there was a flaw in his plan.
"You idiot! You were suppose to take him out not toy with him! Now the others will suspect it was me behind you."
Upset of how originally Prankster was suppose to wipe the floor with Trick, but he merely taunted him and ran before the Oogie could have a chance. While Ginny did her best to calm her friend, she noticed something off with Prank's clothing. Walking over there seemed to be a tear as well a bit of blood coming out.
"Did Trick's bugs did this?"
Ginny questioning him as it seemed that during the chase, one of the bugs that followed him must of made him bled. Prank merely growled at how he didn't notice and seemed to want to go out and get back at Trick. However Maddy stopped him seeing how it would only get him caught as well get traced back to them.
"I think, what we should do is rethink about what you did was wrong. As well how we need to make sure that when you see Trick again, it be the last time."
Explaining to the two since it seemed that Maddy would have to educate Prankster on the meaning of handling a person. As well rethink about her plan since now Trick would tell the others about his copy, meaning it would get complicated from here on out. However she wasn't afraid since the one thing that was required was time, and a proper moment to strike.
