Queen vs Violence

"Puppeteer, Darius Raven: Black Prism!" Queen then shouts as spheres of dark purple -almost black- Cursed Power levitates into the air around King. Queen wiggles her fingers as King thrusts his hands forwards, sending his emissions of dark purple Cursed Power flying over Ace's shield and towards Violence.

"Time Stopper: Violent Freeze!" Violence shouts as she disappears, before reappearing a few dozens of feet in front of Ace. Not once throughout this entire battle, has Luis, or Queen, or anyone else seen Violence take so much as a step.

"Time Stopper: Violent Rift!" Anger shouts as she thrusts hands forwards, sending a dark-pink emission of Cursed Power flying towards the Queen.

Violence's emission of Cursed Power disappears, then reappears much closer to Queen than it was before, as if Violence had used her Time Stopper to send her attack flying towards Queen while time was frozen.

The two emissions of Cursed Power then collide in a giant rush of dark-pink and deep-purple Cursed Power, the two attacks struggling for dominance. Violence and King go back and forth, the two attacks exchanging turns with who's pushing whom back. But thanks to Violence's Time Stopper, her attack is able to push King's back while time is frozen, and Queen quickly finds herself at a disadvantage. Until in one final push, King's attack pushes past Violence's own, knocking the attack away for good, before continuing to fly towards Violence. Violence's eyes widen once King's emission of Cursed Power is standing mere millimeters away from her face.

"Time Stopper: Violent Freeze!" Violent cries.

And then…everything goes still.

Violence doubles over and places her hands on her knees, gasping for breath.

"I only…have a few seconds while time is frozen…" Violence pants. "So I need to get as much done as possible while I can." Violence then takes a step to the side, to dodge King's emission of Cursed Power. Violence then slowly begins walking towards Queen, slipping past Ace's shield and King's outstretched arms, firing off a beam of Cursed Power, and stops once she's standing directly before Queen.

Violence's chambers her right fist, which begins bubbling with Cursed Power. "Time Stopper: Violent Distortion!" Violence shouts as she launches her fist towards Queen, but once Violence's fist is mere seconds away from piercing Queen, Violence notices Queen flinch…so she pauses.

"WHAT?!" Violence cries. "DID SHE JUST MOVE?!"

Violence raises an eyebrow at Queen. She looks the woman up and down, circles around her, studying every inch of Queen's body, and even taps Queen's forehead, but no matter what Violence does; nothing happens.

"Huh," Violence grunts once she's standing directly before Queen again, and crosses her arms. "I must be imagining things." Violence's eyes then widen. "Oh shit, I'm out of time!" She cries.

And then; before Violence has a chance to prepare another attack, time resumes.

Seeing Violence standing directly in front of her with her arms crossed, Queen's eyes widen. "What…are you doing?" Queen asks.

"I don't know, what are you doing?" Violence replies.

"Why aren't you attacking me?"

Silence.

"Whatever…" Queen sighs. "Puppeteer, Ace: Blacksmith!" Queen shouts as she wiggles her fingers, causing Ace to spin around as his Cursed Power shield narrows back into a Cursed Power katana blade, which Ace uses to pierce Violence in the back, causing Violence to spit up a glob of blood, the blade of Ace's katana stopping mere millimeters away from Queen's chest.

Violence peers down at Queen in fear, while Queen peers back up at Violence and smirks.

"Time-" Violence begins to croak out, but is interrupted when Queen finishes that line, causing Violence's eyes to widen.

"-Stopper."

And then, as a transparent purple cube manifests itself around Queen and Violence…everything freezes.

"Why can't I move?!'" Violence thinks to herself. "I froze time, so why can't I move?!"

Violence remains still, standing in her position of staring down at Queen in fear, who also remains still. That is, until Queen opens her mouth, and sucks in a large gasp of air.

"Woah…it's hard to breeze when time is frozen…" Queen mumbles to herself. Queen then peers back to Violence, who still has that same look of fear plastered on her face. "You…you can hear me, right?" Queen asks. "Say nothing if you can."

Violence says nothing.

(Because she can't speak).

Queen laughs.

"I knew that wouldn't work," Queen chuckles. "You're probably confused as to why you can't move while time is frozen, even though you froze time. At least…that's what you think. But in reality, I am the one to freeze time this time."

Although Violence can't physically react, she's internally screaming right now.

"The Cursed Ability of my husband is called Black Prism," Queen continues. "It gives him the ability to control time and space. Not to freeze time, but to control it. Rewinding, fast forwards, etcetera. I first came up with the idea to freeze time the last time it was frozen. You saw me flinch, didn't you? That's because the more you freeze time, the more adjusted to the frozen time King's body becomes, due to his relation with time. And since I'm the one puppeteering King, I'm the one to feel what his dead body senses. Basically; I used King's Black Prism to create an area around us. I then used King's Time Manipulation to bring us into a place of time when it was frozen. That way, time is only frozen for us. Although it seems like I can't move when you freeze time, and vice versa, but we do remain conscious. But while you seem to have a limitation on how long you can freeze time…I don't. As long as I have Cursed Power…"

Violence internally gulps.

YOU ARE TRAPPED IN MY WORLD OF FROZEN TIME."

"Puppeteer, Ace: Blacksmith!" Queen shouts as she sends Ace charging towards Violence. But before Ace can slash Violence with his Cursed Power katana, a rush of blood explodes from Queen's nose, causing her to double over and clutch her bleeding nose, as time resumes.

"Wh…what happened…?" Violence asks as she peers down at Queen. "You were just talking, and then-" but when Violence sees Queen's bleeding nose, her lips curl up into a sinister smirk. "GAHAHAHAHA!" Violence cackles. "I KNEW IT! THERE'S NO WAY A REGULAR HUMAN LIKE YOU CAN USE A CURSED ABILITY SUCH AS MINE! IT DRAINS WAY TOO MUCH CURSED POWER FOR YOUR PUNY BODY TO HANDLE I DON'T EVEN NEED MY TIME STOPPER TO BEAT YOU, I'LL JUST KILL YOU NOW!"

Violence then swiftly kicks Queen in the chin, seeing Queen's head violently snapping upwards in another rush of blood, before falling back to the ground. "DIE, HUMAN!" Violence cackles as she stomps on Queen's skull, who can do nothing more but hold her head and cower underneath Violence.

"Violence is right…" Queen softly says to herself. "King even said it himself; his body isn't compatible with his Cursed Ability. King's a Demon Kin, so the demon who originally had Black Prism must have been waaaay stronger, and have much more Cursed Power than King did. And if King can't use his own Cursed Ability to its fullest potential, then what hope do I have…?"

Queen lays on the ground, accepting defeat, as Violence stomps mercilessly on Queen's head, cackling madly.

But that's when Queen hears a voice.

"You're giving up already…Elizabeth?"

Queen's eyes widen.

"K…King…?" Queen croaks out as she strains her head towards King, only to be met with the lifeless husk of King's corpse. "No…I must be hearing things…"

"You can do better than this, Queen," a voice says again, and Queen can swear that it sounds just like King.

"I must be at the end of my life if I'm hearing the voices of the dead…" Queen sadly says with a weak chuckle. "If only…I can go back in time, and make it so that King never died…" Queen's eyes then widen. "That's it! I can"

A rush of light purple Cursed Power then explodes from Queen's body, sending Violence flying backwards as Queen slowly pushes herself off of the ground.

"So you've still got some fight left in ya', aye?" Violence smirks.

Queen fixes her scowling gaze on Violence.

"Puppeteer, Darius Raven…"

"CHRONOS DESTROYER!"

King's Black Prism then manifests around Violence and Queen, and a few seconds later…King opens his mouth, taking in a large gasp of air.

"Darius!" Queen cries as she rushes over to her husband, throwing her arms around him and hugging him tightly.

"I knew you could do it, Elizabeth," King softly replies as he gently rubs his wife's back.

"What…did you do?!" Violence cries, interrupting King and Queen's reunion.

"I used my husband's Black Prism to rewind time into a place in time where he's alive," Queen explains. "I may not have the strength to defeat you…but he sure does."

"Don't forget about me," Ace says as he takes a step forward as well, aiming the tip of his Cursed Power katana at Violence.

"And Ace," Queen adds.

"Though I don't appreciate you drawing my katana without my permission," Ace adds. "I don't enjoy showing off my Cursed ABility."

"Sorry," Queen replies with a small shuckle. "Now King, if you'd please."

"Of course, m'lady," King replies, as he turns to face Violence. "Black Prism: Space Manipulation!" King booms as his Black Prism manifests around the Cards of the King and Violence, and in the blink of an eye, King, Queen, Ace, and Violence find themselves standing in a large open field, where overhead; a giant meteor comes falling down.

"W-what is that?!" Violence cries as she points up to the meteor falling down towards him.

"The meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs millions of years ago," King smugly replies, before turning to face Queen. "Now Queen, you better exit my Black Prism, or you'll die too."

"I can't!" Queen replies as she motions to the threads of Cursed Power connecting her to King and Ace. "If I sever your threads, you'll go back to being dead!"

"We're already dead, Elizabth, you have to move on…" King replies with a soft smile.

"It's not that!" Queen snaps, causing King's eyes to widen. "You're dead, and I know that I'll have to live with that fact-" Queen begins to say as tears start streaming down her face. "It's just…Violence has an unstoppable Cursed Ability, only someone with control over time and space -like you- can defeat her. It's our fault that the Nine Circles of Hell are here and you're dead. Defeating Violence here -even if it kills me- is the only way to atone for our sins, and get our revenge for your death."

"I understand-" King replies as he walks over to Queen, wrapping her in his arms yet again. "If that is what you wish."

"It is," Queen answers. "I'll die by your side, and we'll kill Violence in the process."

"Oh please, like I can't just shoot through this meteor!" Violence snaps as she begins charging up an emission of Cursed Power between her hands.

But Violence is interrupted when Ace shouts; "Blacksmith: Chain and Mace!" Ace's Cursed Power sword then models itself into a chain, which Ace swings towards Violence, wrapping around her, and keeping Violence's arms bound to her sides.

"WHat the…let me go!" Violence snaps.

"Never," Ace replies. "All four of us will die right here, right now. As for some of us…we'll accept our deaths a second time."

And thus…the meteor then crashes down to Earth, wrapping Violence and the Cards of the King up in a giant rush of flames. When the flames subside, King's Black Prism dissipates, returning Violence and the Cards of the King back to present time. But all that remains are four bodies charred so black that they're unrecognizable.

Violence was defeated.

Ace turned back to his death.

And King and Queen died in each other's arms.
