《[Discontinued!] Joker With A Heart Full Of Love》Chapter 16 - Rascal's Choice
Advertisement
Rascal is just wandering around in the park, feeling terrible and hopeless. He loves Breeze, but it hurts him that she doesn't like him at all. Not even in a friendship way. Rascal is not the person made for friendships!
He feels really confused. He doesn't know what to do and he doesn't even know what side to choose: the bad one - he has been craving for it a lot, or the good side - Breeze. He loves her more than anything else.
'Hello Rascal!' it suddenly sounds behind him. He turns around and sees Moonkiller, Anadil and Vlob.
'You!' he frowns and glares at Vlob. 'You better not hurt Bree-'
'Who?' Vlob grins at him.
Rascal is silent and then says with difficulty: 'Chl... Chloe...'
'Oh yes.' Vlob looks at his nails with a bored look. 'Your dear Glitter Breeze.'
'What... You know about her identity...' Rascal looks at Vlob. 'How?'
'Not important.' Vlob sighs. 'But why do you like her so much, Rascal? She has destroyed your master Emperor Nogo.'
'How do you know?'
'We know more than you think,' Anadil says. 'I am sure you remember this. Catch!'
Rascal quickly catches something that Anadil throws at him. He looks at it. It's a black nose.
'A Twilight Buffoon?'
'Must bring up memories, right?'
Rascal looks at the nose he holds in front of his face but then lowers it and looks at the three villains with a surprised expression. 'But how?'
'Not important,' Moonkiller says. 'We want to make you a proposal. You are the highest ranked subordinate of Nogo and we admire your skills.'
'We still sence a lot of darkness inside you,' Anadil says. 'We are sure you want to be evil again. And the good thing is, we are able to bring Nogo back to existence. So...'
'Want to join us and defeat the Glitter Force?' Vlob asks. 'And to give this world an unhappy ending once and for all?'
Rascal stares at the Twilight Buffoon. Being evil again... That is all he wants!
Or not?
The thought of Breeze... He can't bear to hurt her. They had a good time together and without her, it feels so empty. Like something really important is missing.
'I... I wanted nothing more than that...' Rascal says and closes his eyes a bit. 'But... I don't think I am able to give up what Breeze has given me...'
His hand starts to shake while he keeps talking.
'No... I can't do it. Nogo manipulated me all these years and made me sadistic... And he only used me for his own desire... I want to choose my own path and my heart tells me that I love Breeze!'
'You are betraying him!' Vlob yells.
'No I don't,' Rascal looks at him. 'I choose my own path and Nogo will no longer have power over me!'

'I knew you were weak,' Moonkiller growls. 'I told you two that the light has absorbed him!'
'You're right,' Anadil says. 'Well Rascal, if you will not love the dark side again, you will have to face the consequences!'
'And you will not be allowed to destroy the Glitter Force!' Rascal says threatening.
'Time to finish the job, guys!' Anadil yells.
'Good luck,' Rascal says. 'Because it seems like you are not playing this game with the right cards!' He chuckles and then floats in the air and throws his cards.
'Watch out!' Anadil yells as the cards explode.
The three yell as they almost get hit by the cards and try their best to avoid it.
'Thanks for the gift,' Rascal says and plays with the black nose. 'This may come in handy! Twilight Buffoon, come on down!'
'Twilight Buffoon!' it sounds and a clown tree appears.
'No! We are screeeewed!' Vlob whines.
'Snap out of it, you idiot!' Moonkiller slaps Vlob so hard in his face that it left a red mark.
'Ouch!' Vlob groans. 'You will pay for that!' He balls his fist and growls at Moonkiller, who also balls his fist.
'Idiots!' Anadil snarls. 'Can you focus?! We have to fight against Nogo's highest ranked subordinate and his Twilight Buffoon!'
Moonkiller and Vlob scare and both look at the floating jester and his tree. 'You're right, Anadil.'
'Twilight Buffoon, finish them!' Rascal demands.
'Twilight Buffoon!' the tree yells and runs toward the three villains. Rascal lands on the ground and decides to watch everything.
'How are we going to do this?' Vlob asks. 'We had to think everything trough before we decided to face Rascal!'
'And we are still weakened by the Heart Of Entire Darkness!'
'The what?!' Rascal says as he was listening to everything.
'Nothing!' Anadil snarls and screams as she dodge's the fist of the Twilight Buffoon.
'The Heart Of Entire Darkness...' Rascal says. 'If you own that, I will make sure you are not surviving this battle!'
'Great. NOW WHAT?!' Vlob says frustrated and throws his arms in the air, not paying attention to the Twilight Buffoon who hits him. The bat boy screams and crashes into the wall.
Rascal throws cards at the bat boy and the cards are stuck in the wall and Vlob's clothes.
'NO!' Vlob screams and tries to get loose, but the cards stop him from doing that.
'Time to say cheerio, Vlob.' Rascal let's his sword appear out of his hand.
'Guys help me!' Vlob screams terrified.
'Twilight Buffoon, hold them back,' Rascal commands. He slowely licks his sword while the other two are having trouble with trying to save Vlob.
Rascal points his sword forward, aiming for Vlob's chest. He can attack every second now.
'I got an idea!' Anadil hisses to Moonkiller while dodging attacks. 'Work with me, we will use Rascal's weak spot.'

Moonkiller nods while dodging a giant fist.
'Hey Rascal!' Anadil yells. 'Maybe you would first like to hear what we are about to tell you!'
'What is it?' Rascal puts his sword down.
'It's about Glitter Breeze.'
Rascal immediantly turns towards them, not paying attention to Vlob anymore. 'What about her?'
'I am sure you must have felt our dark energy before, right?' Anadil asks.
Rascal nods. 'So that was coming from you guys.'
Vlob notices that Rascal only pays attention to the other two and tries to get rid of the cards.
'And it suddenly faded away everytime,' Anadil grins. 'Within a matter of minute's. You know why? Because we have killed Glitter Breeze.'
Those words let a pain shoot trough Rascal's heart.
'No...' he says with a pale face. 'Impossible!'
'It is true,' Moonkiller then interferes, exactly knowing where Anadil is up to. 'You heard us talking about the Heart Of Entire Darkness, and you seem to regonize it. So you know that it is a strong power source.'
'That... is terrible...' Rascal falls down on his knees and stares with his wide open to the ground. The thought of Breeze being killed...
Vlob has freed himself from the cards and looks at the confident jester who just broke down. He starts to collect all his energy to attack Rascal from behind. The other two are busy tying to dodge Twilight Buffoon.
'You know what I am going to do now?' Rascal then says while he slowely stands up while his head hangs down. He has crossed his arms.
Anadil and Moonkiller look at him. 'Tell us, joker.'
Rascal looks up and then they see the round, glowing red eyes.
'I am going to finish you off!' Rascal says and clamps his jaws together. 'You will pay for this!'
But Vlob has collected so many energy that he almost can't hold it anymore.
'If you get the chance, Rascal!' he growls. 'Because this time we got a surprise for you!'
Rascal turns around to face Vlob, but he hasn't even turned or the dark beam hits Rascal. Rascal screams and bumps into his Twilight Buffoon and together they crash on the ground.
'Now it's time to use everything we have!' Anadil yells and glass starts to break. The with uses her magic to contol the pieces of glass and she lets it float all around her.
Moonkiller takes a deep breath and forms a strong wind around him and his long cape waves around.
Vlob starts to glow black with a shade of red and purple.
Rascal and the Twilight Buffoon stand up and look at the glass, wind and beam from bats coming towards them. There is no way to dodge it. Rascal quickly turns into a pile of cards while the Buffoon gets hit and dissapears.
Rascal appears behind them while his eyes still glow red. He throws cards at them, but Moonkiller somehow notices and suddenly let the wind hit it all and it goes back to Rascal. When the cards hit the joker, they explode. Rascal groans and falls on the ground.
To stop him from making a perfect landing again, Vlob hits him with his bat beams. Rascal crashes on the ground. When he sits on his knees, he gets hit by pieces of glasses that cut trough his clothing and also cuts Rascal's skin. The cuts bleed but it's not deep anough to get dangerously injured.
Moonkiller collects all his energy to make another blow of wind appear and Rascal get's blown against a wall. Rascal yells as his head bumps hard against the brick and he starts to feel dizzy. He falls and lays on his side while he groans of pain and anger. He tries to stand up, but Anadil hits him with her magic. Rascal gaps for air but he is hit so hard that it gets hard to breath.
'This is what you get for threaten us and betraying Nogo!' she yells and a sharp, cutting pain hits Rascal's side.
Rascal can't move from pain and gasps for air. His breath goes too quick and short and his left ribs are hurt. Fighting for oxygen he lays there on the ground.
I need to avenge Breeze... it shouts trough Rascal's mind. I need oxygen... Before I pass out and it's too late...
Sharp pain shouts trough his ribs and Rascal tries to scream - as far as he can with his gasping for air.
'Let this be a warning,' the three say and they stay around Rascal and look down at the hurt jester.
'If you somehow survive these injuries...' Anadil says.
'...remember that you only have Nogo left...' Moonkiller says.
'...and that you will get the chance to make up your betrayal,' Vlob says.
Then the three dissapear, leaving a damaged park and an injured Rascal who fights for his life behind.
Rascal doesn't know how long he lays there, gasping for air, but suddenly hears a terrified scream and then someone lift his head up and lets it rest on the person's lap. He slowely opens his eyes that he first closed because of pain and then his eyes get big from surprise.
'Bree- eeze... You... Are... A- live...' he gasps and he gets tears in his eyes from relieve.
'Rascal!' Chloe cries. 'What happened?!'
Rascal tries to take a deep breath but pain stops him.
'I nee... d to... tell... y-you som... ething...' he says, but then passes out.
'We need to get him help!' Kelsey says as they all stare at the hurt jester.
Rascal's head lays on Chloe's lap. He has his eyes closed, his face has many scratches and his clothes are torn. The left side of his body suit is blood-red and has a deep cut. His breathing is too short.
'We n-need to g-go imm-immediantly...' Chloe cries upset. She carefully lifts him up and the other girls help. They all realise he is much lighter than they thought.

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.
