Jyngel finds himself manifesting on the streets outside of the Painforest, right beside the same mysterious figure that rescued him from the fire.
"I guess I should introduce myself now. I am Timesome Timekeeper, and I helped you cheat death for one reason only: to have a worthy opponent. Draw your blade." Timesome brings out his own sword and holds it up.
"Alright, I can respect that. Let's go." Jyngel brings out his sword, which is actually his Stand, Blood Moon. Without another word being spoken, the two swordsmen clash their blades together as they begin their duel to the death. Jyngel's eyes remain firmly trained on the the face of Timesome's clock head, and as the two continue striking and parrying each other's blades, Jyngel does an upwards slice straight through Timesome, but this causes no visible external damage, instead purely slicing through the veins inside of Timesome's body. Timesome staggers backwards from the blow.
"I let my guard down." Timesome admits, before regaining his footing. Jyngel runs towards Timesome again, but rather than blocking Jyngel's blade, Timesome holds out his own, and squeezes its handle like the trigger of a gun, causing a projectile to be launched out, straight through Jyngel's chest.
"Wha…I thought you said…you wanted…a worthy…" before Jyngel can even finish his thought, Timesome slices his head off.
"I know when I'm fighting a losing battle. It's not yet my time, and yours was already past due." Timesome explains to Jyngel's dead body, before sighing to himself. The internal wounds he sustained during that fight have forced him to kill again, and now he has to do it one more time to accomplish his goal. Timesome looks around, and spots Buff Frog hopping along the sidewalk. Timesome shoots Buff Frog without even being noticed, allowing him to activate his Stand, Rock Around the Clock, and disappear into the future.
As Zicko descends on Costa Brava, he begins indiscriminately firing off dark ki bombs, blowing up entire streets at a time with his barrages of attacks.
"Come on out, Wikk-In! I wanna prove my strength, and you're the one guy I keep hearing about when it comes to being strong!" Zicko calls out as he blows up an orphanage. A crowd seems to be gathering around Zicko, with a lot of people snapping photos and posting about the event on social media. Due to the ongoing migration of swangeese and crabs, this crowd is even more chaotic, as small and large creatures are scuttling about through its midst. The Station has dispatched pretty much all of its members to work on quelling the chaos, and Wash Woo has taken advantage of this as an opportunity to escape confinement.
"AHAHAHA! YOU'LL NEVER GET ME!" Wash Woo yells out as he hops onto his floor waxer and starts driving at the opposite of breakneck speed. Before Wash Woo can get very far, he is obliterated by a dark ki blast from Zicko, which also takes out the wall which loss averter was trapped in, freeing loss averter in the process.
"Man, you seem angry." a voice says from behind Zicko. Zicko whirls around, and comes face-to-face with Wikk-In, who is hovering before him.
"Heh heh…so, you finally had to show your face…I knew blowing up your beloved town would draw your attention." Zicko snickers.
"The heck are you on about? I just heard my name. I don't live here."
"Hmph. Well, your reputation certainly precedes you. Why don't I give you a glimpse of my power? I call this one…Wave of True Darkness!" Zicko holds out his arms in front of him, with both bent at the elbow, forming two vertical lines in front of him, one facing up and the other facing down. From between his arms, a massive cone of dark ki energy blasts forwards towards Wikk-In, leaving an enormous trail of destruction through the city. When the attack is done, though, Wikk-In isn't even scratched, even though an energy blast wouldn't scratch him anyways. Zicko scowls and moves faster than the eye can see to get behind Wikk-In, before attempting to kick him in the back of his shiny bald head. Without missing a beat, Wikk-In catches Zicko by the ankle.
"Whoa there! If you wanted to fight me, why didn't'cha just say so? I love fighting! You seem like a nice guy, though, so I'll go easy on ya."
"Heheheh…how funny. I'm anything but 'nice'. I kill for the sake of killing, no remorse." To prove this point, Zicko, after wriggling out of Wikk-In's grasp, points his finger down at the crowd, and fires a laser directly into Spiidii, who was among those watching from below. Spiidii is immediately vaporized by this attack.
"Oh, puh-lease. I've seen way worse." Wikk-In feigns a yawn. "Big whoop, you can kill a random person, and blow up a bunch of buildings."
Zicko disappears from sight again, seemingly going for the exact same behind-the-head kick attack.
"Dang, is that your only move or somethi-" Wikk-In moves to catch Zicko again, but at the last moment, Zicko switches up his attack, instead moving in front of Wikk-In and uppercutting him. "Yowch! You actually got a hit off! I guess that means it's my turn!"
Wikk-In immediately regains his composure, and charges up a Harmful Platter, which he gently throws towards Zicko. Zicko dodges with ease, and the platter sails through Costa Brava, coming to a stop right at the feet of Dolph-In, who begins gobbling down the platter's contents.
"You dare hold back?!" Zicko leers at Wikk-In with his pitch black eyes. "I know that's your weakest move."
"Hey, if you want me to go all-out, you oughta give me a good reason. That silly attack you used earlier was nothing."
"Heh…so be it." Zicko strikes a power-up stance and begins to shout continuously as dark ki energy radiates from him in the form of vicious and dangerous sparks. One of these sparks hits Cheeky Jeeky, who was in the crowd below, vaporizing him just like what happened when Spiidii was shot by Zicko's laser. As Zicko continues shouting, his veins bulge with black blood, and the shout gets louder and more powerful, able to be heard all throughout Costa Brava. Jrip-Jry goes deaf for a second time, and most people in the crowd are forced to cover their ears for their own safety. When Zicko finishes powering up, he hasn't even entered a new form, he's just gained an aura of blackest energy around him. Zicko demonstrates his newly boosted power by hurling a sizable ball of energy all the way across Costa Brava, destroying the Chaka Hockey Kuwaq and all those inside, including Icherb. Wikk-In clearly doesn't seem impressed, so Zicko creates another ball of energy around the size of a baseball and chucks it towards Wikk-In. Wikk-In attempts to hit the ball back at Zicko, but it explodes on contact, sending Wikk-In flying at least fifteen centimeters from the force of the attack. Zicko follows this up by engulfing mxy's newly-repaired van, which is parked outside the miraculously still-intact WCL building, in dark energy, and beginning to lift it into the air as mxy stares in horror.
"Wait, no!" mxy grabs onto the van and refuses to let go as Zicko converts it into a large dark energy bomb, which he then throws at Wikk-In. Wikk-In holds his arms up in front of him to block the brunt of the attack, punching a Wikk-In shaped hole through the van and through mxy as it sails through him, before landing on top of Water Woo in the crowd below, crushing him.
"Alright, my turn again!" Wikk-In brings out the Special Bleach Cannon and blasts the faster-than-time projectile towards Zicko. While Wikk-In stumbles from the recoil, Zicko manages to react faster than the faster-than-time bleach bullet, and closes his eyes, causing the bleach to uselessly splash against his eyelids. Zicko wipes the bleach off his face and into his mouth, and spits it back at Wikk-In, who catches it in the Special Bleach Cannon, destroying the weapon in the process. "Aw man, that thing was one of a kind! I can never replace it!"
"Guess it's my turn then." Zicko snickers, before enveloping himself in a massive orb of black energy, destroying the entire street-facing wall of the WCL building, which is caught in its radius. Zicko then raises the explosion of energy above his head, and throws the slow-moving, volatile orb towards Wikk-In as an attack.
not cool is sucked out of his pressurized office and into the street, where he lands with a smack. Cybr quickly gathers his belongings and rushes out of his office, bringing his computer with him to keep it safe from Zicko's attacks. After storing the computer in the basement, Cybr runs upstairs to El Diablo.
"Diablo, we've got trouble, you need to help." Cybr demands, as El Diablo powers on.
"Eh?" El Diablo looks at Cybr, who points at the gaping hole in the wall, through which Zicko is visible. "Oh, okay. I'll see what I can do."
Windsor runs to the second floor, desperate to save his beloved building from being destroyed, and knowing the one person who he believes is for sure strong enough to fight someone like Zicko. Windsor rushes to Dinomundo's door and is about to knock on it, when he sees a paper note taped to it. Windsor pulls the note off the door and reads over it, a confused look passing over his face. He reads through it again, and again, and his expression goes from confused, to concerned, to panicked, to mortified. Windsor's skin blanches as one last shudder runs through his entire body, and he collapses to the floor, dead as a doornail.
