Chapter 57: Someone Wicked This Way Comes (Part 4)

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

"Time to say goodnight, Princess Twilight!" Kin coiled black energy between her fingertips as she watched Twilight and her friends try to move even an inch. "It's ALL OVER!"

"N... no..." Twilight slowly twitched and hobbled forward, even with the pieces of Kin and Gin's clock digging into her flesh and bones. "No! I won't... let... you win, Kin and Gin!"

"Still you struggle? What a shame." Kin just smirked as she too prepared some dark magic. "At least you'll still perish."

"Twilight! Count Cavity rushed to her side and pointed his pitchfork towards Kin and Gin. All three tips lit up red and caused small jets of fire to rise up and hit Kin and Gin in their posteriors. "Back away from her, you monsters!"

"Ngah!" Kin barely flinched from the flames and hurled black lightning down on Twilight and her friends. "Say goodbye, brats!"

"Now where's the pleasantries in this, Kin?"

The dome of Dark Yo-kai shattered, causing a swarm of Wicked Yo-kai to descend and land in front of Twilight and her friends. Flickers, Schemers, Loiters, and more Wicked of all shapes and sizes started fending off the Dark Yo-kai, while the five Wicked Executives started to pick the clock pieces out of Twilight and her friends' bodies.

"What?!" Kin snarled as she glared down at the Wicked Yo-kai. "You choose to side with these heathens?! After everything they did to Mistress Dedtime?! To US?!

"We had a little bit of a boardroom meeting after you hurried off to deal with Twilight and her friends, and all of us did raise some very valid points." Unkaind stepped forward. "King Void is a tyrant who cares nothing for his subjects, or lack thereof, considering that they're all just illusions under his control; You two have become unreliable after countless losses against Nate, Nathaniel, and now this Twilight girl; and if we decide to turn to King Void's side, then he'll just turn us into Dark Yo-kai and we'll be demoted to pawns in his little scheme."

"If there's one thing we Wicked aren't, it's mindless grunts." Untidy bashed his knuckles together. "We prefer to be executives or higher. You turn us into zombies, we won't be happy about it."

"Honestly, Kin and Gin, this is a new low for you." Unkeen folded his arms. "You'd have us turn to someone we can't trust in the hopes of a better future, only for you to backstab us and make us soulless abominations?" He cocked a brow. "You're weak. Weak and pathetic. I can see why those humans defeated you back in Springdale."

"Those humans..." Gin tightened her hand and punched the ground violently, causing black rocks to burst out of the ground and impale the Wicked Yo-kai. "We hate them. Hate them. HATE THEM!"

"LOATHE! DESPISE! VILLIFY! ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS THEMSELVES!" Kin thrust her hand out at the executives, launching a wind which knocked them all back into the three teenagers. "And if you're going to join their fight, then we'll just have to destroy you all as well!"

"Harmory! Give us a helping hand!" Sunset called out.

"On it, Sunset!" Both heads chimed together, twinkling down sparkles onto her and the rest of the girls.

"Thanks, Sunset!" Sci-Twi leapt back onto her feet and took up a battle stance. "That was just what I needed."

"Yeah. That was a good save, girl," Twilight added. "But now we need to take out Kin and Gin."

"There's no way that we can take them out with simple attacks." Whisper scratched his chin and stared down the Time Witches. "But maybe..."

"What? What is it, Whisper?" Twilight tilted her head.

"You got a plan, nyan?" Jibanyan asked. "We're gonna nyeed one pretty fast!"

"We can't just keep peppering Kin and Gin with individual attacks and Soultimates like this. King Void's darkness might be overclocking their pain threshold." Sci-Twi pushed her glasses closer to her face. "If we're going to take the two of them down, then we need to make one big attack together."

"The question is, though, will it be enough to defeat them?" Sunset examined the black aura that emanated from Kin and Gin as they started to decimate the Wicked Yo-kai. "I'm sure this King Void is no slouch, and if he's given Kin and Gin some of his powers, then we're gonna need to hit them with a LOT of our own."

"Well, that's what we're here for!" Harmory cheered. "We can make you fight in sync, so, naturally, we can have you all use your Soultimates together."

"It's a bit of a gamble, but at this point, what other choice do we have?" Whisper threw his arms down. "We need to stop Kin and Gin A.S.A.Now!"

"You're right. We have to win this, and the longer we let Kin and Gin roam free, the more they could cause chaos for us, Equestria, and the Yo-kai World!" Twilight held her watch high into the air. "Everyone! Let's work together!"

"Got it!" They all chorused out simultaneously.

"Harmory! Give us your powers of synchronicity!" Sunset called and thrust her hand into the sky.

"On it!" Both of the heads smiled and clapped their hands together. "Perfect Sync!"

A green aura fell down upon the entire group. Twilight, Sunset, Sci-Twi, their Yo-kai, and all of the Wicked glowed bright white as they all became part of Harmory's one collective mindset. They all cracked their knuckles together, turned away from their fights, and gazed towards Kin and Gin.

"For everything you've done to us... For every Yo-kai you've butchered... And for everything you'll ever do, Kin and Gin... THIS IS YOUR PUNISHMENT!" Everyone spoke all at the same time and dashed towards the witches, combining all of their Soultimates together and unleashing them all at once upon the elder Yo-kai.

"How absurd..." Kin brought up a forcefield and pushed hard against the tide of Soultimates and other attacks. "You think that something silly and cheesy like that can take us down? We can re-shape the timeline as you all know it!"

"Surely, you must understand that our title isn't all just for show." Gin smirked and pushed the army back as well. "What can you hope to achieve from an all-out attack when we have the power of a literal GOD flowing through our veins?"

Everyone just made a battle cry and pushed even harder, beginning to splinter Kin and Gin's shield. Little chips flew off to the side as cracks began to form around the forcefield.

"Nngh! No!" Kin pushed with her shoulders. "I will not fail again!"

"King Void will have our heads if we let him down!" Gin added to her sister's brutal push. "You can't be allowed to win!"

"You have it wrong!" Twilight cried out. "YOU can't be allowed to win! You'll only keep hurting everyone around you with your evil intentions. As the Princess of Friendship and savior of multiple worlds, I will not let you win, Kin and Gin!"

"You... little... WRETCHES!" Kin pushed so hard that her entire face turned dark blue and her muscles began to ache. "GIN! HOLD... OUT!"

"I'm trying, sister!" Gin was looking like a mirror image of Kin as she too struggled against the tide of heroes. "But they're fighting too hard!"

With one final push, Kin and Gin's shield shattered into pieces, and all of the Yo-kai and their Soultimates came crashing down on the elderly witches. They were swept away, stomped into the ground, jabbed in all of their sweet spots, and ended up as splattered messes on the lawn of CPA.

"It's over." Twilight walked over to the mangled and torn bodies of Kin and Gin. "Stop serving King Void and get rid of his powers, or else bad things will happen to you."

"What... what kind of fiend are you to order us, the Time Witches around?" Kin tried pushing herself up, but the pain in her body hit every one of her limbs and she remained planted head-first against the grass.

"I'm the Princess of Friendship, and right now, I'm trying to save you from whatever kind of spell King Void has you under." Twilight knelt down before the two of them.

"That won't be necessary, Princess Twilight..."

A volley of black lightning bolts struck the area around Kin and Gin. One of them hit Twilight head on and blasted her back into Sunset and Sci-Twi, who caught her quickly. The sky above everyone hastily turned from a clear and sunny day into a blackened sky with clouds shooting out more of the black bolts.

"No..." Kin looked up to the sky and tried to hobble away from everyone. "No no no no no no no no no no!"

"He's coming! And there's nothing we can do to stop him!" Gin chattered her teeth and huddled close to Kin.

"He's coming?!" Twilight, Sci-Twi, and Sunset all chimed and stared up at the thunder.

A Dark Yo-kai which looked like a humanoid knight with stitches all over his face stepped forward and banged his spear on the ground. "Ladies and gentlemen of this world. Bow down before His Eminence! The Killer of Light, The Destroyer of Yo-kai, the Conquerer of All, the almightyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy KING VOID!"

A massive pillar of dark energy slammed down between Twilight, Kin, and Gin. From that black energy, a large pair of ripped and demonic wings burst out of it, with a sword following shortly afterwards. The pillar disappeared to reveal King Void, staring down at Twilight and the others.

"Princess," he said.

"King Void," Twilight replied.

"Do not get this little meeting confused. I am not here for you." He turned his back to her and looked down at the writhing little worms that were once Kin and Gin. "I am here for these two. My untrustworthy, lying, insignificant Time Witches."

"Y-y-y-y-your Majesty! Please try to—"

"NO!" King Void grabbed Kin's head and began to crush it like a grape in his hand. "I WILL HEAR NO MORE FROM YOU, WRETCH! NOR WILL I HEAR ANY HALF-BAKED EXCUSES FROM YOUR SISTER EITHER!" His other hand snatched Gin as she tried to escape.

"What are you doing?!" Sunset cried, watching as Kin and Gin tried using their magics to break free of the king's hold, only for him to channel black electricity across their bodies from head to toe.

"Kin and Gin have disobeyed me on multiple occasions, picked unauthorized fights, and are a little bit too erratic for my little warpath." King Void held his arms out to the side, displaying Kin and Gin's bodies hanging beneath his closing palms. "Through this act of will-stripping, these two shall pay the ultimate price. Everything you know about Kin and Gin is about to disappear. And in their place, only my darkness, magnifying the remnants of their powers shall remain."

"He's going to turn Kin and Gin into Dark Yo-kai!" Whisper yelled and jabbed a finger at him. "STOP HIM!"

"Already on it!" Unkeen ran forward and leapt towards King Void. He was about to punch him in the back, but a purple tendril shot out of the king and launched him high into the air, only for him to crash back down and form a little crater beside the other Wicked Executives.

"Darkness smothers your will. Give in to my power..." King Void chanted, causing Kin and Gin's bodies to melt and burn away in his hands. "I will make you stronger, in return for everything you are. Consciousness for power." Two little fissures in the air ripped open, firing little chains out onto Kin and Gin's bodies through King Void's hands. "YOU. ARE. DARK. YO-KAI!" With one final roar, Kin and Gin were sucked through his hands and through the fissures, causing them to disappear, leaving no trace of them behind.

"Did... Did he just—"

"Yes, Unkaind. He did." Twilight hung her head. "King Void just destroyed whatever remains of Kin and Gin. And now, there's most likely a Dark Kin and a Dark Gin serving his legion."

"I picked one nit off of the Yo-kai World's back. Consider it the only pleasant act I will ever do." King Void turned back to Twilight and the others, watching as his faithful servants scuttled back to his side. "Now Queen Ephemer and whatever subordinates she has can breathe easy, knowing that their number one public enemy has been eliminated."

"I... don't knyow how to feel about that." Jibanyan scratched his chin.

"This does not mean that I am finished with you or your measly friends, Princess Twilight." King Void rasped and cracked his knuckles together. "Sooner or later, you shall fall to me. Lash and Maelstro were only the tip of the iceberg. One of my other Dark Ones will surely tap into the darkness within you, and turn you against your friends once and for all."

"Then why don't you just fight her here and now?" Unfairy tilted his body. "If you've got a beef to settle with Twilight, then just do it already. It's no fun just letting your foe get away like that."

"Like I said, little Yo-kai, I did this only because Kin and Gin had annoyed me for the last time." King Void stepped up to Unfairy, picked him up, and squished him in his thumb and index finger, hearing a squeaking noise every time he did. "On different terms, I would waste no time in driving my sword through her head and ending it here and there." He tossed him into Untidy and Unpleasant.

"Whatever you're planning, King Void, I won't allow you to go through with it!" Twilight put her fist to her chest. "Me and my friends will save the day, like we always do!"

"If you are that determined to stop me, then prove it." King Void lunged his finger out at her. "Continue fighting me and show how much you care about these worlds. But I will warn you, your majesty, that I will not make any of your efforts against my army easy." A black portal appeared before King Void. He flapped his wings and flew backwards, closer and closer towards the gateway. "See you soon, princess." He lurched back through the portal, causing both it and all of his Dark Yo-kai to disappear out of existence.

Once everything returned to normal and the skies cleared up again, Twilight and her friends turned towards the Wicked Executives and their workers.

"So. That's King Void?" Sunset asked.

"Yeah. He's so evil that even I won't be able to make him see things another way." Twilight held her Yo-kai Watch and turned it back to the regular mode, retrieving all of her medals. "If we see him, we're gonna have to fight him. We've got no other choice."

"Forgive me for asking this, me," said Sci-Twi, "but what exactly did this King Void guy do?"

"Well, according to everything we've learned so far..." Whisper reached into his gelatinous body and pulled out a little parchment. "He's turned Red Snow's Sailornyan into Oblivinyan, taken control of Kin and Gin, terrorized the Yo-kai World and Equestria, stranded a ton of ponies at sea by having one his Dark Ones destroy a cruise ship, caused massive property damage, attempted to conquer the aforementioned worlds, and he's violated a NUMBER of fashion laws with that horrific body of his."

Sci-Twi and Sunset just stared slack-jawed, with their eyes shrunken down into tiny little dots. Their arms fell and hung by the sides of their body as they tried to regain themselves.

"Geez. And I thought Mistress Dedtime was bad." Unkaind just blinked repeatedly.

"So... What now?" Untidy asked.

"A good question, Untidy..." Unpleasant turned his head to the sky. "What do we do now?"
