The Jester.
The Jester has been removed mid ERA.
The Jester and The Joker has the same power.
But it was the matter of authority.
The Joker can interfere with the Upper Class and Middle Timeline.
The Jester can only interfere with the Upper Class.
ERA 3 did not have the same laws.
As Neoma predicted The Jester will be back.
They will remove it once again.
"Joker, kill The Jester."
"Yes sir."
It was a matter of mind games.
Which will win?
Yuki, 15?
Or Neoma?
"You made the wrong choice Neoma."
15 said.
15 arrived at the scene.
"I don't work for you." 15 added
"You never did. I never asked you."
Silence.
"You were quite the fool are you? I asked Yuki, not 15."
"What?"
"Does everything Yuki does- includes you? Let this be a lesson 15."
"You are quite smart. I supposed to have underestimated you."
"Very."
"I suppose we will have to battle?"
"Wasn't it an order to kill me?"
"Heh. You are smart, but naive."
"What say?"
"You revealed yourself away."
"If I hadn't you would've suspected me. Besides, I don't need to hide."
"Attention seeker?"
"I like the attention, I am self-centered after all."
"No wonder you post everything about your life."
"Why would there be social media if not about posting?"
"Why there be life if not meant to live?"
"Why would there be death if not meant to die afterwards? Why does happiness exist if you can't be happy?"
Keep 15 alive Neoma. For fun.
Play with him.
It doesn't take long before he breaks.
"Why would there be sadness if you can't be sad?" 15 striked back.
"Why would there be emotions if you'll be hard as stone?"
"Why would there be fear if you are fearless?"
"Being fearless doesn't exist. We xan survive without any emotions- fear being the only exception."
"Is the number 1 in the criminal list scared?"
"Always."
And at that point.
She knew what to do.
She summoned a dagger and dashed straight towards him. 15 dodge as he kicked her chest and summoned a sword.
She went ahead and grabbed the blade of the sword and broke it. She stabbed 15's arm, both of them.
"15 was never in Yuki's side huh? You never betrayed me, you betrayed Yuki."
"Yuki was just a way for me to get to you-"
"Listen you bitch-"
"Yuki was just a pawn-"
"YOU DON'T GET TO CUT ME OFF YOU SON OF A BITCH- I SWEAR TO FUCKING- YOU HAVE BEEN THERE FOR 12 WHOLE YEARS JUST BECAUSE OF- NEVER MIND YOU WERE NEVER YUKI'S COUNTERPART AFTER ALL-"
"Angry much now are we-?"
"And the fact it wasn't even sad because Yuki knew. And the fact that he nevers told you about our plans and you were not included in the making." Neoma chuckled.
Everyone was looking at 15.
Everyone arrived at the scene.
"You wanna know how this world works? No morals nor mercy. No one cares what you feel here. Anyone can betray you at any moment."
15 attacked Neoma and stabbed her.
15 went for 38.
'If I kill 38- Neoma can' t live if her counterpart dies.'
15 grabbed 38 and went away.
Arlott was chasing him.
"Let him be."
Everyone was getting scared.
It wasn' t the fact 15 betrayed them, it was the fact Neoma could betray them.
"Clean this mess. It's time to get a bit serious."
Neoma walked to a portal and left everyone.
"How did 15 end up betraying us?"
Arlott asked.
"It all started during ERA 3, the real ERA 3 of the past timeline. We all met during war when Neoma was leading us. When we met my counterpart, he was at the other side and was an acting chief of division 5. Neoma recruited him because she needs someone to get information in the Middle Timeline. Me, 46 and Neoma knew." Yuki said, laughing.
"What a joke. Bro thought he could outsmart us." Matthew said.
"How the hell though? How did you guys found out 15 will reveal himself today?" Arlott asked, again.
"When Neoma took a quick peek at the camera, it was a sign to turn off the recording, but ERA 2 moved the camera to the side, pointing at the chair, where The Joker should be sitting. The Joker also has the power to mess up with the camera so Neoma stabbed it because it cannot be turned off." Yuki said.
"Damn this whole play was predicted? 2 ERA'S AGO?! Like, you guys met during the original ERA 3 then ERA 4 passed them we are back at ERA 3?!" Matthew was shocked.
"It was easy to know. We let him go for the fun." 46 said calmly.
"You guys are keeping something from us." Jinni said.
"56, I think you already know. 15, Neoma and you are like each other." 46 replied.
"Hmm..... If anything, I think it's 46 hding something from us." 38 said.
"What?"
"You know who the person from ERA 2. We and even Neoma doesn't know her." 38 added.
"It's a secret, I must keep from Neoma but, I think a lot of people knows."
"Who?"
"Someone not from our world."
Silence.
"Okay- quick recap. 2 ERAs before you already knew 15 was a traitor, and managed to keep an act around him. And the person from ERA 2.... A lot of people knows her- and.... And Miles- was apparently a traitor from Middle Timeline-" 38 was cut off.
"He is a what?!" Jinni was shocked.
"Who????" Jinni added.
"Well, apparently Neoma already knew he had superiors not from Middle Timeline, and that it is in the Overworld." 38 explained.
"What is the Overworld again?" Arlott asked.
"The Overworld is a world where everyone who is banished can live at, basically exile and is much more strict at laws. The Overworld cannot be disrupted by any universe or goverment." 46 said.
"Wasn't Neoma wanting to go there?" Jinni asked.
"The Overworld is strict in laws, but she belongs there. She is considered a bug or part of the Upper Class, and the Upper Class resides in the Overworld." 46 replied.
"Who is her parents again?" Yuki asked.
"Oh um- she created herself? Like poofed out of existence and just started living?"
"What the what?"
"Honestly, she has parents but things happend."
"Issues?"
"Parents was... Nowhere to be found."
"So what is the things that happend huh? Something doesn't add up."
"Parents abandoned her- she was honestly proud her parents abandoned her and did not care, then during her time in the orphanage, she was about to get shipped out in another orphanage, but... She managed to escape, by means of murdering people, because she wanted to stay there for friends and did not want to get experimented, met with a person there- I don't know the name, she doesn't too- but they helped her get selected to be a child of a family, but then another family of that exact day claimed to be her "parents" , so she went with her original "parents" but things was not right- found something about the Upper Class and Middle Timeline wanting her after stalking her own parents, and turns out they were part of Middle Timeline- she did not know what Middle Timeline was and followed the people who were her parents but not actually parents and yes they are her parents to the office of the Middle Timeline, and it went for about 3 years- specifically she was 6 yrs old after that ended and killed them during war cause the war ended 2 years later. So when she met 15, 15 reported to her parents about the war and Neoma killed her not so real parents but is actually real but also fake and yes they were true. And Neoma went to war because she found out they were experimenting on children WHICH WAS LIN SHAYES' DOING AND HER PARENTS THAT WAS ACTUALLY TRUE BUT NOT SO TRUE BUT NOT FAKE AND YES THEY WERE FAKE TOOK PART OF! And they helped Miles Zabriskie help the children in taking revenge on Lin Shaye, and was friends with Elizabeth Cocuza."
46 explained.
"So the reason she already knew their plans was because of her not so real parents but wasn't really fake but yes they were fake?" Yuki asked.
"Yes."
"My braincells could not process your way of explaining that." Neoma from behind then appeared.
"NANI THE FUCK?!?!" Yuki screamed.
"YO SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER!"
