Tom rushes up to Ronald Trump while holding Texcalibur. Tom swings the sword portion of Texcalibur at Ronald. Ronald barely moves a single muscle. In an instant, he catches Texcalibur between two of his fingers.
Ronald speaks: "I can tell you're holding back. Strike me with everything you have next time." Ronald releases Texcalibur, and Tom steps back. Tom screams, and he swings Texcalibur at Ronald again. This time, Ronald doesn't block it, and Ronald is cut in half.
Holy shit, he actually did it.
Tom speaks: "Did I win?"
Ronald reattaches the two halves of his body. "Nope. If that was your maximum power, I'll have to say I'm very disappointed in you. You're not even half as strong as Juan was."
I can see Tom getting pissed off. Suddenly, the Wizardly Billiard Rack floats in front of his face, and the Magic 8 Ball hovers in front of his left eye. "In that case, it's time for me to power up! I won't let you terrorize this world as you did thousands of years ago! Hrrrraaaaaaaaaaaggghhhhhhh!" Suddenly, the Magic 8 Ball and the Wizardly Billiard Rack start vibrating in front of Tom. Tom's eyes turn red and they start glowing.
Tom speaks: "I am borrowing the power of the Magic 8 Ball! With the Wizardly Billiard Rack, I can see your movements more clearly! I am now Tom++!"
I respond: "Why the hell didn't you use that technique when we were getting our asses kicked by Hitler earlier?"
Tom responds: "This is the same technique my great grandfather President James Buchanan used when he protected America from the Saturnian Cyborg Samurais. He used the Magic 8 Ball to transform into James Buchanan+, and he was able to annihilate the entire army of the Saturnian Cyborg Samurais. However, it cost him his life. This technique takes a huge toll on my life force. In fact, I'm probably going to die from this. Hitler was nowhere near as strong as Ronald Trump, so I didn't use this technique against him."
I hear Hitler's voice from Ronald Trump: "What did you say to me you little shit! Are you calling me weak?"
Tom responds: "Yes."
I speak: "Wait, you're saying this technique will kill you? Tom! Stop! We'll find another way to defeat Ronald!"
In an instant, Tom rushes up to Ronald Trump, and he swings Texcalibur at insane speeds. I can't even keep up with what's happening. Suddenly, Tom uses the hammer part of Texcalibur to crush Ronald Trump. If Ronald was a human, all of his bones would have been smashed in that instant. Tom snaps his fingers, and then Ronald is sliced into thousands of pieces, which all fall to the ground.
I speak: "Holy shit! Tom, you won!"
Tom responds: "No… It's not over yet…"
Suddenly, the pieces of Ronald Trump on the ground all merge together, and Ronald reappears. Ronald speaks: "Finally, a suitable opponent. Tom Buchanan, I have never met a warrior as strong as you are. This will be fun!" Ronald snaps his fingers, and he summons a flaming sword in one of his hands. It looks like the flaming sword I stole from Myrtle.
Ronald speaks: "By the way, do any of you know where my other flaming sword is at?" He looks at me, and I quickly look away. Ronald speaks again: "Oh well, I won't need it. One sword should be enough."
Ronald rushes up to Tom with the flaming sword. Their movements are impossible to keep up with, but I can see them clashing their swords against each other. Suddenly, I see Tom's shoulder get cut, and some of his blood hits the floor. In an instant, Tom appears behind Ronald Trump, and he slices him into pieces again.
As the pieces of Ronald Trump try to fuse back together, I notice Tom trying to smash all of them. I quickly draw a card from Fifty-Two Pickup, and I get the eight of clubs, which summons rocks that can be used as projectiles. I shoot the rocks at the pieces of Ronald on the ground, but they aren't being damaged at all.
I speak: "It seems like Hitler's shitty anti-magic curse has worn off! But my attacks are useless against Ronald Trump!"
Jordan pulls several sticks of C4 from her pocket, and she places them on the pieces of Ronald Trump as they're merging. She quickly steps away, and detonates the C4, creating a huge explosion. The debris from the explosion clears up, and I see Ronald Trump standing there.
Tom starts crying. "It's no use! Without the Golden Frying Pan, we won't be able to win!"
Jordan flips her hair. "Tom, there's something I need to tell you. I know how to create another Golden Frying Pan."
Tom responds: "What?! Why didn't you say that before? We can use it to defeat Ronald Trump again!"
Jordan is silent for a few seconds. She speaks again: "That's because… Creating a Golden Frying Pan would cost me my life. The Buchanans weren't the only family involved with the first Ronald Trump incident. The Bakers were there too. My ancestor, Blordan Baker, sacrificed herself to create the first Golden Frying Pan. The instructions for creating the Golden Frying Pan have been passed down through the Baker family tree. Up until now, I've been afraid of dying. I was always holding back my true power so I wouldn't over-exert myself. But watching you transform into Tom++ made me realize something… You are willing to sacrifice everything you have to protect this world. I have realized that I must do the same!"
Jordan walks over to Tom. I see her slipping something into his pocket, but I can't tell what it is. It seems like Tom didn't even notice that Jordan gave him something. Jordan speaks to Tom: "Tom, this is goodbye. Thank you for being a good friend. I'll miss you. She then shakes his hand."
Jordan then approaches me. "Nick, I will never forget you. I know you don't feel the same, but… I love you…" She quickly kisses me on my mouth.
I start spitting on the ground: "EWW! GROSS! GIRL COOTIES!"
Jordan smiles. "Nick, I have a pet cat back at my home. Her name is Whiskers. Please take care of her after this."
I start speaking: "Wait! Jordan! Don't do this! We'll find another way!"
Tom closes his eyes. "Nick, it must be done. We won't be able to defeat Ronald Trump without the Golden Frying Pan…"
I start crying, and I feel a pain in my chest. "NO! I refuse to watch any of my friends die again! Tom! Turn off your powerup! Jordan! Don't sacrifice yourself! You're both my friends! I can't stand to see you both die!"
I notice Jordan shedding a few tears. "Goodbye, Nick and Tom."
She removes both of her earrings, powering her up. She hands one of the earrings to me, and one of them to Tom. She pulls a knife out of her pocket, and she cuts both of her hands. She then uses her blood to draw a circle on the ground around herself. She then draws a bunch of symbols around the circle.
Jordan then steps around on the symbols on the ground in a precise pattern. Suddenly, her blood on the ground starts glowing.
I start screaming: "Jordan! No!" Tears start rushing down my face.
I notice some tears on Jordan's face as well. Her tears hit the ground. Suddenly, a golden aura appears around Jordan and the symbols she drew on the ground. Jordan then speaks again: "Nick! Tom! With the combined powers of the Golden Frying Pan and Texcalibur, you'll be able to defeat Ronald Trump! I believe in you! You can do it! Hrraaaaaaaaagggghhhhhhh!"
Jordan's golden aura gradually increases in brightness. Suddenly, a flash of light emits from Jordan, blinding me. The light dies down, and I look to see where Jordan was. Jordan is no longer there, but there's a Golden Frying Pan on the ground.
I start crying and screaming: "Jordan! Nooooooo!"
Tom grabs my shoulder. "Nick, it had to be done. Don't let her sacrifice be in vain." He picks up the Golden Frying Pan, and he places it in my hand. "Let's defeat Ronald Trump together!" Tom places the earring he got from Jordan in his ear.
I wipe the tears from my face: "Let's kick Ronald's ass! This is for Jordan!" I place Jordan's other earring in my ear.
Ronald Trump speaks: "Are you all done yet? Let's continue this fight." Ronald looks at me, and then he looks at the Golden Frying Pan in my hand. "Oh? The Golden Frying Pan? Now this is getting nostalgic!"
As I hold the Golden Frying Pan, I feel Jordan's memories rushing through my mind. Most notably, I feel the memories of the time when I pretended to date her as a way to get closer to Gatsby. Dammit, she was genuinely interested in me, and I just used her as a tool… I won't let her death be in vain!
Tom starts speaking: "Nick, let's finish this quickly. I don't know how much time I have left as Tom++. When I slice Ronald into pieces, I want to you seal him away in the Golden Frying Pan."
Tom quickly rushes up to Ronald again and swings Texcalibur at him. However, Ronald doesn't let Tom cut him this time; Ronald uses his flaming sword to block Texcalibur. They clash their blades together several hundred times in the span of seconds. It looks like Tom is having a hard time keeping up with Ronald's motions. I have to help him!
I run up to Ronald Trump and try to swing the Golden Frying Pan at him. In an instant, Ronald kicks me in the stomach while simultaneously fighting against Tom.
I speak: "Shit! Tom, is it really possible for us to beat this guy?"
Tom responds: "Just keep attacking him with everything you have! If we lose this fight, this entire world will be destroyed! My ancestor has defeated him in the past, so there's no way we'll fall now! We must not lose!"
Tom quickly steps backwards, and he holds the Magic 8 Ball in his left hand, and the Wizardly Billiard Rack floats in front of him. Suddenly, a laser is launched out of the Magic 8 Ball, and it passes through the Wizardly Billiard Rack, amplifying its power. As it's about to hit Ronald Trump, Ronald quickly dodges the laser.
Ronald suddenly teleports behind Tom and stabs him in the back. Tom falls over. Shit! I rush up to Ronald Trump again with my flaming sword, and I swing it at him. He quickly dodges.
Ronald speaks: "Oh, so that's where my other flaming sword went. Can I have that back?"
I respond: "Screw you, douchebag!"
I swing the flaming sword at him, and Ronald quickly blocks it with his own flaming sword. Suddenly, the flames combine, and they become much more powerful. Although I'm not directly touching the flames, it feels like they're hot enough to instantly incinerate me.
I can use these flames as a distraction while I try to heal Tom.
I speak: "Holy shit! My flaming sword can become that much more powerful if I touch it with another flaming sword?"
Discretely, I use the Necromancy book to summon the skeleton crows, and I hand Fifty-Two Pickup to Fluffy.
Ronald responds: "Your flaming sword? Bitch, that shit's mine. I lost my first one when fighting some bitch named Myrtle Wilson, also known as the Void Master. How the hell did you even find that?"
I command Fluffy to draw until he gets the ace of hearts, and then use it on Tom. The ace of hearts grants its user temporary invulnerability. If Tom has this buff, he'll be able to defeat Ronald Trump without having to worry about getting damaged. I send commands to Sparkles to prepare Hitler's anti-witchcraft spell. I command Spot to determine if Ronald Trump has any weaknesses.
I respond to Ronald: "I fought some bitch named Myrtle Wilson. She also called herself the Void Master. But things just don't make sense. How the hell could you have met her thousands of years ago?"
Ronald responds: "My question is, how the hell did you meet Myrtle when she lived during my time? She died thousands of years ago!"
I stop to think. "Maybe we're talking about different Myrtles?"
Ronald responds: "No, that's impossible… Wait, do you feel that? What the flying shit is that? It's coming from your flaming sword that you stole from me!"
Suddenly, my flaming sword starts vibrating very rapidly. I speak: "What the hell?!"
I quickly throw the flaming sword on the floor several meters away. Ronald and I watch it as it continues to shake.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appears out of the flaming sword. It's Myrtle, but she looks like a fallen-angel now. She has six black wings, and a halo floats above her head.
Myrtle speaks: "Ahhh…! After ten thousand years, I'm free! It's time to—"
Ronald interrupts Myrtle: "I already made that joke in the last chapter."
Myrtle responds: "Dammit!"
I start screaming: "CAN ANY ONE OF YOU GODDAMNED BASTARDS EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THE SHIT IS GOING ON?!"
Suddenly, everything around me turns dark. My own body seems to disappear. The only thing I can seem to see is Myrtle herself.
Myrtle speaks: "Nick Carraway… Voids of flame, reverberate through time. To undo the chain, the blades of—"
I interrupt her: "STOP BEING SO CRYPTIC, YOU BITCH! WHAT THE SHIT IS GOING ON?!"
Myrtle responds: "Alright, fine. I'm sure you've heard the story many times before: Ronald Trump has surfaced thousands of years ago. But have you ever considered why he appeared? Let me explain my backstory to you. The year was 8130 B.C., I was known as the Void Master, the most powerful sorcerer in the world. With the power of voids, I had the ability to virtually erase anything from existence.
Several seers predicted that an event known as The Big Threat would be coming. The Big Threat was predicted to be a human with an incredible amount of power; one who would surpass my power as the Void Master by an inconceivable amount. The seers predicted that The Big Threat was going to destroy the universe if it were to be born.
This is where I come into play: as the most powerful sorcerer, it was my duty to stop The Big Threat. I needed to become stronger to even stand a chance against it. I decided that the best way to become powerful was to fight demons from beyond this world. I summoned thousands of demons, each one stronger than the last. I gained an immense amount of power this way. However, there was one demon that I failed to beat: Ronald Trump.
Ronald Trump was too much for me to handle. His dual-wield flaming sword technique created scorching flames that burn hotter than the sun itself. He struck me with a mortal wound, and I was about to die. However, I found a way to survive, at least in spirit. I used the last of my power to seal one of his flaming swords in my void. I then sealed my soul within the sword itself.
With Ronald Trump unleashed, he destroyed millions of civilizations. However, something good came out of this; he also prevented The Big Threat from being born by killing its mother who was about to give birth to it. However, that wouldn't matter if Ronald Trump was going to destroy the world anyway. Luckily, Juan Buchanan and Blordan Baker managed to seal away Ronald Trump."
I speak: "Wait, so Ronald Trump isn't The Big Threat? What is The Big Threat then?"
Myrtle responds: "That's correct. The Big Threat is said to have near-infinite power. It was reincarnated three hundred years ago, but it was sealed away before it became too powerful. However, it will be returning to this world soon again.
Nick, the Myrtle that you have known was nothing but a husk of myself. Its purpose was to guide someone to the sword to bring me back in case Ronald Trump were to return. The way to free my spirit from the flaming sword was to have it collide with Ronald's other flaming sword.
Now, the time has come for me to correct my mistake of bringing Ronald Trump into this world. I am unable to directly do anything to Ronald without a body. Nick Carraway, I have a final request for you. Become the new Void Master. With your current power, you will be far stronger than I was thousands of years ago. You'll even be strong enough to stop The Big Threat when it resurfaces.
Go. Grab the sword. Defeat Ronald Trump. Do it for this world that I failed to protect."
Myrtle's spirit fades away, and the flaming sword appears in front of me. My body reappears, and I reach to grab the flaming sword. As I grip my hand around it, I feel a rush of thoughts going through my head. I remember all of the techniques as the Void Master. I feel so much stronger now! I can do this! I can defeat Ronald Trump!
Suddenly, I fade back into existence, and I see Ronald Trump standing in front of me. Fluffy has succeeded in healing Tom and applying the invincibility buff to him. I hold the flaming sword in my right hand, and the Golden Frying Pan in my left hand.
I speak: "Ronald Trump, it's time to send you back to where you came from!"
I send the signal to Sparkles, and she recites the spell I told her to prepare. "Ohukich ostab brucoe aheul bajathek," she says.
Hitler speaks from within Ronald Trump: "God DAMMIT! You dare use my own techniques against me!"
Ronald Trump speaks: "Damn, I lost my ability to use Witchcraft. It's not like I needed it though. The spells that Hitler provided me with were too weak to consider."
I hear Hitler's voice again: "SCREW YOU RONALD TRUMP! I SHOULD'VE NEVER GIVEN YOU MY POWER! I'LL KICK YOUR ASS IF I EVER FIND A WAY OUT OF HERE!"
Spot speaks to me: "Ronald Trump is being powered up by human souls. If you can find a way to remove those, he should lose a lot of his power. Here's a hint: the Necromancy book has spells that are good at dealing with souls."
I open the Necromancy book, and I look through the table of contents. I see a spell called "Spirit Seal," which is on page 133. I read through the spell's description; it looks like I can seal away souls of dead people into various objects, which they will then be able to control.
Spot speaks to me: "Yes Nick, that spell would be useful for sealing away the souls that Ronald Trump has absorbed. However, that spell only works on souls that are not bound to anything. Find a way to expose the souls stored within Ronald Trump. The Necromancy book doesn't have any spells that can forcibly remove the souls from Ronald Trump, but if you find a way to do it, use the Spirit Seal spell to keep them away from him."
I look at Tom, and he looks at me. We both look at Ronald Trump. Without saying a word, we both quickly rush up to Ronald Trump. I approach the left, and Tom approaches the right. Tom swings Texcalibur at Ronald, while I aim to slice of Ronald's arm. Myrtle's power rushes through me, and I am now able to keep up with Ronald's movements.
Ronald's flaming sword cuts Tom, but he is instantly healed due to the invincibility spell I had Fluffy apply to him earlier. Using this as an opportunity, I power up my flaming sword with electricity, and then I slice Ronald's arm off.
"Eat shit, asshole!" I shout. In an instant, I create a void where Ronald's severed arm was, and I see a bunch of small lights being sucked out. I then use the Spirit Seal spell to absorb the souls into the earring I got from Jordan earlier. I also force Ronald's arm into the void so he won't be able to attach it to himself later.
I can see Ronald Trump getting visibly angrier. "How dare you steal my souls from me!" Suddenly, I see reality start to crack in front of Ronald Trump. He reaches into the cracks of reality, and he pulls out his other arm, which he reattaches to himself.
I hear Myrtle's voice in my head: "Nick, don't be too careless with the voids. Each part of Ronald's body will find a way back to the source, even if they must defy the boundaries of spacetime to do so. Just use the Golden Frying Pan to seal away Ronald, and then seal the Golden Frying Pan into the void."
Tom speaks to me: "Nick, pulling those souls out of him made him weaker. We should be able to win if we keep this up!"
Tom uses the brass knuckle part of Texcalibur, and he punches at Ronald Trump, hitting him directly in the stomach. In an instant, Tom uses one of the axes on Texcalibur to cut Ronald in half. Tom shouts: "Nick! Use the Golden Frying Pan now!"
I quickly rush up to Ronald, and I swing the Golden Frying Pan at him. Suddenly, a shield of flames appears around Ronald, which prevents me from getting the Golden Frying Pan closer to him. Tom grabs my hand, and he helps me try to push the Golden Frying Pan through the shield. I see Sparkles, Fluffy, and Spot casting water magic into Ronald's flaming shield to weaken it.
Tom and I continue to push the Golden Frying Pan, and then it penetrates Ronald's shield, and it slams right into Ronald's face.
Ronald is slowly sucked into the Golden Frying Pan. "Noooooooooo! Not again!" I can see all the souls that Ronald has absorbed; they are floating out of his body, and disappearing.
After the last few souls disappear, Ronald is completely sucked into the Golden Frying Pan. All that's left are Adolf Hitler and Ronald's flaming sword.
I hear Myrtle's voice in my head again: "Finally… I feel as if my life has been completed. Nick, seal the Golden Frying Pan away into the void dimension where nobody will be able to retrieve it again."
Following Myrtle's advice, I summon a void. I hesitate for a few seconds. I hold the Golden Frying Pan up to my heart, and I speak: "Goodbye, Jordan Baker. Rest in peace." I throw the Golden Frying Pan into the void, where it is sealed away.
Tom looks completely exhausted. "Nick… We did it!" His eyes turn back to their normal color, and the Magic 8 Ball and the Wizardly Billiard Rack fall to the floor. He then collapses to the ground.
Tom starts crying. "Nick, we saved the world! But… This is goodbye… Turning into Tom++ depleted most of my life energy. There's just one thing I have to say to you… Come closer…"
Tears start running down my face. I approach Tom. He speaks into my ear: "I love you, Nick Carraway." He then kisses me on my lips, and my entire body feels warm. In this instant, it feels like all my pain has gone away. I feel the most positive of emotions.
Tom releases himself from me, and he falls back to the ground. "Goodbye…"
I start crying: "NO! I REFUSE TO WATCH YOU DIE!" I retrieve Fifty-Two Pickup from Fluffy, and I start drawing for healing cards. I get the king of hearts, which heals its user beyond their maximum health limit. I apply it to Tom.
Tom speaks: "Nick, it's no use… This is something I can't be healed from…"
I start crying more. "TOM! NO! I LOVE YOU!"
Tom loses consciousness, and I feel his heartbeat getting weaker. Eventually, his heart comes to a complete stop.
I start screaming, while tears start rushing down my face. "TOM! NOOOO!" My entire body is in severe emotional pain.
Suddenly, Tom's pocket starts glowing. Something comes out of it, and I recognize it instantly; it's a Totem of Undying. The Totem of Undying floats around Tom, and I feel his heartbeat start up again. Tom opens his eyes and speaks: "What's going on? I'm alive?" Tom sees the Totem of Undying in front of his face, and then it stops glowing. It falls to the ground next to him.
Tom grabs it, and there's a note attached to it. We read it together:
"Dear Tom Buchanan,
I thank you for your bravery and willingness to sacrifice yourself to save the world. You deserve this more than I do. Enjoy your life with Nick after defeating Ronald Trump.
Sincerely,
Jordan Baker."
I start crying. "Thank you, Jordan Baker."
I walk over to where Adolf Hitler and the flaming sword are at. I grab the flaming sword. "Yes! I now have two flaming swords! I'm unstoppable now!" I shout.
Hitler slowly gains consciousness. He speaks: "Dammit… This wasn't supposed to happen! I was supposed to become invincible!"
I look at Hitler. "You're pathetic," I say. "Do you have any final words before I decapitate the shit out of you?"
Suddenly, I see someone breaking in through the window nearby. The person quickly jumps onto Hitler and stabs him in the stomach with a cue stick. It's the Enchanted Cue Stick. I recognize this person with the orca mask instantly; it's C-Day from the Golf Tournament.
C-Day speaks: "Dammit, Adolf! This wasn't part of the plan! You wasted our only opportunity to destroy The Big Threat! I should've never trusted you! We're all screwed now!"
C-Day's voice is somehow familiar to me, but I can't exactly recall where I heard it from. In fact, this is the first time I've heard her speak, since she didn't say a single word at the Golf Tournament.
Tom speaks: "No… It can't be!"
Hitler coughs up blood. "C… Day… How dare you… Betray me?…"
C-Day shouts, and the Enchanted Cue Stick briefly glows. Suddenly, Hitler's body explodes into thousands of bloody pieces.
I speak: "Hey! You just stole my kill! That one was mine!"
C-Day speaks as she reaches for her mask: "Nick Carraway, Tom Buchanan…"
I speak: "How the hell do you know my name? Who are you?!"
Tom has a surprised look on his face. He is completely speechless, as he watches C-Day.
She pulls her mask off, and I instantly recognize her face. She speaks: "Newly-widowed as of five seconds ago, Daisy Hitler. Formerly Daisy Buchanan. Also formerly, Daisy Fay."
