Animal Crossing In Action: Duo Of Justice
Chapter 24: Revenge Of The Clown
At the ship, Allen was staring at the dark poison crystal and clutching it with the palm of his hand. He was so furious that the Duo of Justice received their new power somehow, and they're getting a lot stronger than before. With Ivy and Flare's deaths and the animals were no longer in Allen's evil control, he was now getting frustrated.
"I feel like the tables were now turning!" Allen yelled. "That fool, Robert is going to pay for this! And that includes his ally or his actual girlfriend, Vicki Silverwing! Those two won't get away that easily once I will suffer them!"
Mastermind Clown couldn't help overhearing of what Allen was saying. He rubbed his chin with his fingers and had an idea. It was rotten and sinister idea that would make Allen so proud of him.
"Oh, I just had an excellent idea," said Mastermind Clown quietly. "Since I may already knew Robert's secret identity, which means Phantom Angel is actually Vicki. Hmm, I'm not sure if my cousin's ally told me about this before he died...But oh well! Anyways, time to proceed my evil plan!"
Mastermind Clown quietly snickered as he rushed to his compartment before he was heading to StarLily. He looked at the photo of himself and his cousin, Nightmare Mime. He swore to him that he would get his revenge on the Duo of Justice, but mainly on Phantom Angel who killed his cousin one year ago.
In StarLily, Vicki was in a big hurry to meet up with Robert at Main Street. She ran between Nick and Serenity who were about to kiss each other. He told his sister to watch where she was going, but she couldn't hear him. Then, she ran past Sammy and Jimmy who just got back from Main Street. Both of them shrugged and continued walking after she pushed them aside. Finally, Vicki saw Robert who was sitting on the bench while waiting for her.
"Hey Robert!" Vicki called. "Sorry, I'm late!"
"Oh, it's alright, Vicki," said Robert. "I just want to tell you something."
"And what's that?"
"Well, ever since the day I first met you, it feels as though that I've been drawn towards you."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is my heart suddenly belongs to you. Do you feel the same way as I am?"
"Now that you mentioned it, I really do!"
"So, do you want to hang out with me as always?"
"Yes, I'd love to!"
Vicki gave Robert a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. He was blushing very slightly as he gave her a kiss in return. Nobody noticed that Mastermind Clown was watching over them from the top of the building. So, he quickly vanished into thin air and was nowhere in sight.
In the evening, Vicki rushed to the hotel to find Robert. She finally saw him at the dining room with Lorelei and Darren. She quickly went to the table and sat next to Robert for a bit.
"Hey guys, I have an exciting news!" said Vicki excitedly. "The meteor shower is coming tonight! Robert, do you want to join me watching the meteor shower?"
"Sure, I will love to!" Robert answered.
"Great! Lorelei, Darren, you two can watch the meteor shower, too if you want!"
"Yes, that will be very exciting!" said Lorelei.
"We will be there tonight for sure!" said Darren.
"Awesome! I bet Nick and Serenity will be watching the meteor shower, too!" said Vicki. "So, I'll see you guys later!"
After Vicki left the dining room, Robert couldn't help but to think about her. He chuckled and smiled that all he could think of was her. While Lorelei and Darren were talking about the meteor shower, they never noticed that Robert was daydreaming so sudden.
Vicki had arrived back in town and started to smile daintily. She looked up in the sky and couldn't stop thinking about Robert. When she looked away from the sky, she suddenly saw Nick and Serenity who were standing in front of her.
"Oh hey guys!" said Vicki.
"Hey Vicki!" said Serenity.
"Hey sis, did you ask Robert to join you watch the meteor shower tonight?" Nick asked.
"I did, and he said he would love to join me," Vicki replied.
"That's fantastic, Vicki!" said Serenity. "I hope you two will have a good time together."
"Yeah, both of you will have a good quality time together," said Nick flatly.
"We certainly will, little brother," said Vicki, slapping Nick's shoulder really hard. "Just like you and Serenity will always be together forever!"
After Vicki gave Nick a hard slap, he rubbed his shoulder to relieve his pain. He glared at his older sister and frowned without her noticing.
Later at night, the meteor shower began to appear in the sky. Everyone, in town, walked around to see the meteor shower while they were doing their business. Nick, Serenity, Lorelei, and Darren were sitting on the log bench, watching the starry sky together. Until Sammy and Jimmy showed up, they blocked their view and were also watching the sky. Two of the villagers tried to see the meteor shower in the sky by moving their heads sideways.
"Hey Sammy, Jimmy, can you both move aside please?" Nick asked, being annoyed.
"Yeah, can't you see we're watching the meteor shower, too?" said Darren.
"Well, goody-goody nerds, why don't you move elsewhere, instead of talking to us?" Sammy asked arrogantly.
"Yeah, just run along instead," said Jimmy.
Nick, Serenity, Lorelei, and Darren stood up from the log bench, ignored the Slapjack brothers, and decided to go elsewhere. Once they were heading to the town plaza, they saw the clown performing his tricks. So, they decided to watch the performance instead, just like the animals. They were watching the clown juggling the balls and bowling pins. Then, he passed them on to his assistant who appeared to be a bear cub with the squiggly mouth named Pudge.
Meanwhile, Vicki and Robert left the hotel for dinner and headed straight to the town. When they were heading to the town plaza, they saw the crowd watching the clown doing his amazing tricks. Then, they immediately saw Nick, Serenity, Lorelei, and Darren watching the performance, including the Slapjacks.
"Well, well, it looks like someone is putting up a show during the meteor shower," said Robert.
"Yeah, I bet he did..." said Vicki. "But something's not right somehow..."
"Hmm, what do you mean?"
Suddenly, the clown took out the two canes; one for himself and another for Pudge. They both twirled their canes while they were dancing for the grand finale. As soon as they stopped dancing, they began to spray in front of the crowd with smoke. Everyone coughed so hard that they suddenly collapsed to the ground. Vicki and Robert quickly hid behind the town hall and began to transform right away. The clown snapped his fingers, the smoke appeard as it was surrounding him, and changed his true form.
"Ha ha ha! That will put the end of my show business!" Mastermind Clown laughed.
"Then, I'm afraid your real show ends here right now!" Phantom Angel exclaimed, as Mastermind Clown and Pudge immediately saw her and Masked Swordmaster.
"That's right, what you showed the audience is nothing but a dirty trick!" Masked Swordmaster exclaimed.
"And now...The Duo of Justice are here!" said the dynamic duo in unison.
"Ugh, that motto of yours is boring me already..." said Mastermind Clown flatly. "But anyways, henchmen, attack the dynamic duo now!"
The Duo of Justice were fighting off against Mastermind Clown's henchmen. The evil clown quickly climbed up the town tree and Pudge joined him as he quickly sat on the tree branch. After the duo were done with the henchmen, they were now searching for Mastermind Clown and Pudge anywhere. Until few seconds later, the cursed bear cub swung by the rope which it was tied onto the tree branch and knocked Masked Swordmaster to the ground.
"Masked Swordmaster, are you alright?" Phantom Angel asked. She was about to approach her ally, but she was stopped by Mastermind Clown who grabbed her from behind.
"Your prince charming is down right now!" Mastermind Clown exclaimed. "Now, it's time for you to suffer after what you did to my cousin!"
"Your cousin is so, like, last year's news, Clown! And get your hands off me!"
"Let her go, you freakshow!" Masked Swordmaster exclaimed, after he stood up.
"Stay out of this, you hard-headed knight!" said Mastermind Clown, as he used his hula hoop to bind Masked Swordmaster from interfering.
"H-Hey, get this thing off me!"
Mastermind Clown ignored of what Masked Swordmaster was saying to him. He took out the dagger from his pocket while he was holding onto Phantom Angel. She looked at the sharp, pointy dagger that the evil clown held in his hand and was terrified of what he was trying to do next. Masked Swordmaster was struggling as he was trying to break the hoop as he could. Mastermind Clown was pointing at Phantom Angel's throat with his dagger. Then, he slowly pointed at her chest, which it gave her the chills. The white knight couldn't take this anymore as he tried to break free with all his might. All of the sudden, Mastermind Clown was ready to stab Phantom Angel on the side of her stomach. The angel cried for her ally's help when her tears fell from her eyes. Masked Swordmaster finally broke free and rescued his ally from the evil clown's threat.
"Clown, don't you dare kill my girl!" Masked Swordmaster growled, as he punched the evil clown's face and knocked him to the ground. Then, he helped Phantom Angel to get up and hugged her for comfort. "Phantom Angel, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine..." Phantom Angel replied, as she quickly removed her tears from her eyes and began to blush slightly. "And thank you for saving my life."
"Hey, I'm still standing you know!" said Mastermind Clown. "And I still want revenge!"
"Man, he never gets tired of it, does he?" said Masked Swordmaster, rolling his eyes.
"No, I'm afraid not," said Phantom Angel. "But allow me to give him a taste...of angelic musical vibration!"
After Phantom Angel threw her attack at Mastermind Clown, he got the direct hit and was knocked down to the town tree before he faced down to the ground. She used her crystal staff to eliminate the evil clown and banished him with her ultimate attack.
"NO! Nightmare Mime, I'm so sorry that I fail to avenge you!" Mastermind Clown screamed. "But I'll be joining you...!"
When Mastermind Clown's life came to the end, Pudge returned to normal after the curse was removed. Plus, everyone, at the town plaza, was finally awakened from the evil clown's smoke. Then, they saw the Duo of Justice who saved their lives from evil. The dynamic duo waved at the crowd and smiled before they took their leave. Isabelle quickly left the town hall and was about to take a picture of them, but she somehow missed them.
"That's strange, where did they go?" Isabelle asked to herself.
While the meteor shower was still ongoing, everyone was looking at the sky, especially Isabelle. Some made a wish and hoped that their wish would finally come true.
Somewhere on top of the building at Main Street, Phantom Angel and Masked Swordmaster were also watching the meteor shower in private. The angel was very glad that she finally found someone to protect her from vicious bad guys. The white knight was very pleased that he finally found someone who would always give him gratitude, unlike the girl he met in the past. It was a very lovely night for both of them as they were starting to kiss each other.
