"...They always underestimate me... always..."

"...Cyn's the only one who cares..."

*The jester sighed, traveling the vast reaches of space for a bit...*

"Truth be told... I was going to betray her originally, have all the wishes to myself but.... -

"Well, I'd say that was a unfortunate battle... I almost had him on the ropes until YOU showed up, puffball..."

*The jester glared at Shadow Kirby...*

"But just know this... if you tried to do this just so we could let bygones be bygones... then you've screwed up greatly..."

-

{Noooot to spoil who saves the day here, so I'll simply say, I'll brb for like a hour, before responding to this with the second part of the reply...}

*Well, this was a surprise... unfortunately, the jester won't be giving the blue bomber the last laugh here... as he suddenly snapped back together, almost making it into the black hole until he vanishes once more...*

"...So now you decide to speak up? how nice..."

-

*The jester can't even be mad that the flame sword even hit, if anything it just made him laugh more...*

"OH! do we have killing intent on the mind here pal?"

*...Marx, being the meddlesome trickster he was, suddenly vanished once more...*

"Fine then... I'll play by your rules for a bit!"

-

"Ooh! Something new I see?"

*The jester vanished, as expected... but... where did he go?*

"Unfortunately, I can read you like a book!"

*And he cackled as he suddenly burst out from the ground below his enemy!*

-

{You already KNOW we gotta be rockin' out to this song during this battle...}

{And you might be asking "oh why not the Star Allies version?"}

{...Well, I started this, so screw you, I get the aux cord for this fight...}

"...Hey, hey, heeeeey..."

"Aren't YOU just as happy as ever.... you got to kill that stupid maverick who would've gracefully spoiled our plans... you had just a splendid victory party.... and the greatest gift of all?"

"Aww, people going after good pal Cyn just like that for causing a teensy bit of chaos for some stupid Maverick Hunters?"

"...How sweet, I'll make sure to book an appointment for a personal ass kicking from the both of us then..."

"...I'm all ears..."

"Then if that's the case, explain... what's the big deal now?"

"First off, if you weren't just referring to yourself, I'm pretty sure we're BOTH cooked?"

"And second... the hell's got you so up in defeat? you're never like this..."

[nc]

"...I called it! I KNEW Cyn would pick on Ciel!"

"Looks like somebody owes me some dededollars!"

"...What do you mean we didn't bet on that? Well fine then! have it your way! I'll just bet on the next big thing!"

[nc]

"Aww, what's the matter, scared?"

*WHY IS THE CLOWN SPROUTING WINGS!? WHY IS THE CLOWN SPROUTING WINGS!?!?*

"Splendid! splendid! in that case! we'll be in touch! see 'ya soon pal!"

*The jester vanished then and there.... all according to plan...*

"...Ah..."

*The jester decides to vanish... to follow and fuck shit up alongside her...*

"Biiiiig day today...."

"Very... very big day..."

"Cyn, have you decided on a target yet?"

"Yup yup yup! positive! I'm everyone's friend!"

*"C'mon!" he thought! "take the bait! say we're friends!"*

*Marx thinks... perhaps this creature would be gullible enough to believe him...*

"Well, I can assure you I wouldn't even hurt a fly! any friend of yours? is a friend of mine!"

"..."

*Something tells him he shouldn't answer that honestly... but he decides to ask something.*

"That depends? what's this Jester fellow like?"

"Oh, did I? My sincerest apologies..."

*He doesn't sound too sorry...*

*And he just stares back... smiling...*

*Hey! Marx can do that too!*

*Now EVERYONE'S ears are probably bleeding!*
