《[Discontinued!] Joker With A Heart Full Of Love》Chapter 2 - Negative Energy
Advertisement
Rascal is once again, deep in thoughts. He can't believe that he is friends with Chloe and hugged her! HUGGED HER! His master died of a hug like that!
Rascal is furious. Not at Chloe, but at himself. Stupid feelings... He said that he needed time to turn good, but he knows he can't promise to keep being good. Maybe he will turn into Rascal The Joker again instead of Rascal The Human.
He still hasn't got his magic back.
Angrily he throws a stone in the lake. His eyes start to glow red. He is betraying Nogo! How dares he?! He needs to kill Chloe right away!
Calm down, he thinks in himself and takes a deep breath. It's stupid to make decisions while he can't defend himself in this situation. Breeze needs to help him. Besides, her friends won't let him get away with it.
Thinking about their powers, sweat of fear runs over his head. No. He has to keep them at a safe distance. They even got stronger after Nogo killed the joker.
'Hey, there you are!' Chloe says when Rascal returns. 'Did the walk do you good?'
'Yes,' he answers. He now knows that he musn't do anything stupid.
'Just like the walk yesterday where we started to become friends?' Chloe looks at him.
The warm feeling and the tickles return. Rascal blushes, but this time of shame. How can he kill her if these weird feelings make him somehow happy?
'You're right again, Breeze.'
'Please Rascal, call me Chloe.'
'I still haven't gotten my energy fully back,' says Rascal, trying to change the confusing subject.
'That's weird. But remember that I am willing to help you.'
Rascal nods. 'I can't forget that...'
'Good.' Chloe smiles. 'Do you want to join me when I practise archery?'
'I will. Maybe we can return to my circus,' he jokes.
'Bring your Twilight Buffoon, then we can practise all together,' Chloe says.
The two of them start to remember the fight.
(Joker/Rascal vs Reika/Chloe, Japanese):
'I almost got you there...' Rascal says. He remembers that he was about to kill her with his sword.
'My friends saved me,' Chloe says. 'That is the power of friendship Rascal, if they wouldn't be there, you would've won.'
'That's right, Breeze.'

'I sometimes can't believe you and I are friends now,' Chloe says.
'Same...' Rascal feels weird. He is not only betraying Nogo, but also Chloe. If she knew what he was thinking in the park... She would have lost all trust she has. And Rascal wouldn't blame her for that. Chloe is changing him, but he is still a villain inside.
'I was thinking,' Chloe says, 'do you want to go to the cinema with me? Another habit of humans.'
'Sure. Why not?'
It's night and this time Chloe lays in her bed again and Rascal on the ground. Rascal's injuries start to heal and the scratches are fading away. He feels fine, but is more human than the joker he was before. Nogo absorbed all his energy and he has nothing left. He should be happy that he is lucky to be alive. But somehow he would rather died permanently instead of being human.
He gets up. Sleeping isn't going to work. He walk towards Chloe. She sleeps. Rascal kneels down to caresses her hair. It became his secret habit.
'You're beautiful,' he sighs. He thinks about that evening. He again only payed attention to Chloe instead of focussing on the movie.
'Rascal, what are you doing?'
Rascal scares and falls backwards. Chloe has found out his bad habit and his face turns as red as his hair. He must have an exuse for this.
'I can't sleep on the ground,' he says. 'And then I tried to wake you up but you scared me.' He takes a deep breath. 'I wanted to tell you I am going to lay in your bed too. You can't stop me.' He goes in bed and grins. He strokes her hair. He somehow dares to do it now.
'My friends should know now,' Chloe says the next afternoon. 'They are very upset that I am keeping something secret from them.
'Not yet,' Rascal moans. 'Not when I don't have magic. They will kill me and I will not be able to defend myself.'
'Rascal, my friends are not like that!' Chloe looks at him. 'If you tell me what you've told me, they will trust you, believe me!'
'Talking about trust, I need you to help me but you have to trust me.'

'What is it?'
'I think there is a way for me to get my energy back,' Rascal says, 'but you are not going to like that.'
'Just tell me.'
'Negative energy.'
Chloe looks at him, shocked. 'N-negative e-energy?!'
'I told you that you will not like it.'
'There has to be a different way!'
'There's no different way. Breeze, I am still a subordinate of Nogo. And negative energy always was my power source.'
'Well... If that is true, I have to believe in our friendship. But remember Rascal, as soon as you try something, I and the others won't let you get away with it!'
'I know,' Rascal says. 'I am aware of that.'
'I will allow you to collect negative energy, but only if I can watch you.'
'I understand that.'
'Let's go to a place where a lot of people are, but don't revive Nogo!'
'I don't even know if Nogo survived. I need my energy to know if I feel the connection between us.'
'Tell me if he's alive if you know the answer.'
'I will.'
And so the two go to a place where a lot of people are. Rascal gets his book and the paint of future black.
'The time has come for an unhappy ending!' he says, squeezing the tube of black paint. 'The future is not looking bright!' He paints the page and the sky turns dark. People start to whine and moan again.
Chloe shivers. This moment gives her bad memories.
Rascal laughs and collects all the negative energy. He laughs evil and then he changes. He gets his old clothes back and his jester hairstyle. He floats in the air.
Chloe scares. His evil laugh... She is not sure anymore if she can trust him.
'I have been craving for this!' Rascal hugs himself and shivers, just like when he did in the battle between him and Chloe. He chuckles. Then he looks down at the shocked Chloe. He lands and plays with a pile of cards.
'Thanks for you help, Breeze,' he chuckles and walks towards her. 'I couldn't have done it without you.' He bows. Then he looks serious. 'And about Nogo... He is- Aargh!'
Huge beams suddenly struck the joker. Rascal wavers and falls on his back without moving anymore.
'Rascal!' Chloe says, shocked.
'Are you okay, Breeze?!' a familiar voice sounds.
Chloe looks and sees Emily and the others running towards her. They are transformed.
'Guys...' Chloe stammers.
'What is HE doing here?' Glitter Sunny looks at the unconscious Rascal. 'I thought we defeated him?'
'That's a long story...' Chloe sighs. 'I saw him laying in the park lately and he looked terrible. He told me his reason to revive Nogo. He is just like Ulric, Brute and Brooha! He also did this because people hated him.'
'Are you crazy?!' Glitter Spring screams. 'We can't trust him!'
'I think we can,' Chloe says. 'He really seemed confused and was willing to turn good.'
'We heard him laugh,' Glitter Peace says, 'and he sounded evil, like he was up to something.'
'Yes,' Glitter Lucky says. 'You must have heard that too, right?'
'Maybe you are right...' Chloe says. 'I began to fear him too.' She walks to the joker. 'But... We were friends...'
'We can't trust him, Chloe,' Glitter Sunny says.
Chloe sighs deeply. 'But we still have to take care of him. He was about to tell me something important. He was about to tell me if Nogo is still alive or not but then you hit him.'
They all look at Rascal. He lays there, unconscious and helpless, it looks sad. Chloe can't help it but to feel sorry for him.
'We indeed need to know that,' Lucky says. 'But we can't trust him. Remember when he enjoyed his bad deeds? And the things he has said?'
'We need to tie him and demand answers when he wakes up!' Sunny says.
The others agree with her.
Rascal lays in Chloe's bed and is tied up. They all agreed that Chloe is going to talk to him when he wakes up again. Days go by and Rascal remains in the unconscious state. It's like he is in some sort of coma. Chloe starts to get worried. She still believes a bit in the friendship and his good side, even though she agreed that Rascal enjoyed the negative energy too much. But they need to know about Nogo and that's why Rascal needs to wake up again.
Chloe strokes Rascal purple bangs and stares at his closed eyes. She wonders what he looks like without mask.
But she doesn't dare to take it off.

Toothpick
“Hello! My humble audience! I, the Bard of the North, am going to tell you a tale. Nothing new, nothing old. A story of a hero, some may say, others a poor boy who was hated by the world.” The storyteller paused as he waited, right timing was everything when telling a story. Pacing… Too slow and the audience became bored then left without tossing even the smallest of coins. If he spoke too fast and rushed the story. It would leave the audience confused and having no reason to be impressed. So like any good storyteller, the Bard has to do a balancing act of sorts. Not too slow, not too fast. Just perfectly in the middle. “In a shattered country in the south, a novice princeling has the ambition to mend a torn tapestry that is his birthplace. Struggling to fend off those who would usurp the throne in an unending civil war spanning centuries. A mercenary that left only death in his wake, unable to stave off the monotony and peace of life. He looks back at the path laden with bodies, wondering if it was all worth it. Wandering souls summoned by a madman, travel away from a wasteland in a foreign land, the first alone, the others as companions. A deity, ancient in her years, waiting to be freed from a duty she no longer enjoys. For all these people and their stories, none are the hero of this tale. No, the hero is not grand, not wise, not ready.. he was punished for nothing of his doing, who was an outcast that was unloved by many, including his father.” This was always the big reveal novices use to jump off into their story. He did not start here, instead, like any good fishermen, he set the bait and waited until the fish bit before pulling. As he saw the audience's eyes focus, he then started the backstory. The harness, that stopped the listeners from having metaphorical whiplash. The foreshadowing. “But that is not where the story starts. No, not even the hero's birth. Where the story begins, is the boredom of the deity, a deity many know of. She who hunts for the impossible, the guide for those who have lost the path, the Huntress of Mallon--” A small pause, a short breath. “--All old names for a single powerful being that has roamed the grounds of this continent longer than any line of kings or queens, lords or ladies. A being of worship for many an individual…” One last breath. And he began singing the first verse.
