A Wrinkle in Time

By this point, Yin was warmed up and really beginning to get into the spirit of things, and actually began to enjoy himself. He stepped into the arena feeling confident and ready to take on whatever would come his way. Yang however was a lot more serious about the matter, he disapproved of the entire charade and all of the meaningless violence, but he knew that he had to devise a clever plan if he wanted to get past these henchmen. He knew they would never listen to reason and, begrudgingly, stepped into the ring to join his nemesis in battle.

Vermil, was feeling confident and looked on at the two of them in confidence. Yin was foolishly arrogant and thought nothing of the tiny, ugly warrior. However, Yang sensed something unusual about the pint sized parasite, his power was extremely low, but he sensed not a trace of fear within him. He knew there was something he was hiding, but what?

The gong rang out and the fight was to begin. Yin rushed in ready to slug the slug across the face, but in a flash he disappeared. Yin stumbled with surprise and fell right into his blow. disoriented, he stood and rushed him again launching a volley of punches, kicks, and jabs at him, but none making contact, as the little man dodged them all without even trying.

"What's wrong, getting angry. Here, I'll make things easier, I won't move from this spot" Teased Vermil.
Yin then attacked him from all sides, using his full speed, while Vermil tilted himself out of the way, not getting hit once. Yin was furious and raced to the other end of the ring, revving up his gears, he flung himself forward and charged right at him, he then picked up a sudden, unexpected burst of speed and missed Vermil all together. He was moving too fast to control himself and was about to collide into yang, when the latter pushed all of his energy forward into stopping him.Yin was held firmly in place by the barrier of energy, but still was being propelled forward. The force holding him still strained increasingly more, as he was being propelled faster and faster. Finally, Yang had no choice but to fire a large energy blast at Yin to strengthen the resistance, but just before collision yin shifted slightly to the right so that the blast just missed him and went straight for Vermil. It hit him dead on and knocked him back, with Yin dropping to the ground in unison with Vermil. Yin was completely ignorant of what had happened and immediately rushed back in to attack. It was in vain though as Vermil, with surprising speed, jumped up to his feet and kicked Yin in the gut, propelling him high into the sky with the same force as earlier.

Yang was perplexed by this, with his speed he should have easily dodged the blast that knocked him to his feet, but it seemed to approach him too son to react. Yin had a theory to this anomaly, but it was far-fetched and required a bit more experimenting. He looked up to see Vermil rushing up into the sky and pummeling Yin too quickly for him to react to. Yang rushed up and went to strike him from behind, but was intercepted by a lightning fast punch to the face which knocked him back down to the ground. Vermil continued to torment Yin, and Yang decided to try a different approach, He charged up two very large orbs of energy in his hands and collided them together into a large beam that was aimed directly at Vermil, he turned and fired one back to keep it at bay, he was clearly overpowered  and focused all of his effort into the beam without realizing he'd left himself open to attack, and Yin struck him in the back with a solid punch, making him lose concentration and negating his energy beam, and sending him flying right into it. It smacked him right in the face and knocked him back. In a moment of perfect equilibrium, yin and Yang rushed him and attacked from opposite ends. they wailed on him with punches and kicks, badly hurting him until he disappeared from between them, and yin's punches accelerated and, without Vermil to intercept, he began to wail on Yang instead. After a few seconds Yin began to attack Yang of his own free will, enjoying himself too much to stop. He finally stopped after Yang crossed his arms above his face to block the punch and knocked him back with a burst of energy, his light aura literally pushing Yin away. He forced Yin to focus on the fight at hand, fighting every impulse he had and using all of his self control to restrain himself from fighting back. His suspicions were now confirmed and he was formulating a plan to defeat him. When Yang got Yin's attention back on the badly bruised Vermil, he communicated his observations telepathically.

"Yin listen carefully, I think I know what makes our foe so dangerous and I might have a way to defeat him. From the observations I've made, I am under the impression that he has the ability to manipulate time, but I think he can only focus on one thing at a time, I can't be sure though until I try one more experiment. The only hits we've landed were the one's we've made while working together, if I'm correct it is because he can only focus on one of us at a time, but I won't try anything until I know for sure."

"Well what are you waiting for!? Attack him!! don't just sit here and think things over, HELP ME!!"

"What was that Yin, did YOU ask ME for help."

"Hurry up before I change my mind!!"

"Fine fine, but only if you say please."

"Not a chance in hell, you know you're not the brightest light bulb in the pile! to even fathom the idea that I would stoop to that high..I'll just do it myself!"

This is exactly what Yang wanted, as it gave him the perfect opportunity to confirm his suspicions. Yin flung himself towards Vermil, and sure enough he dodged and began to strike Yin faster than the human eye could process. Yang then took this opportunity and flew up in an overly obvious charge. he caught Vermil's attention and he felt all of his muscles weigh him back. his entire body felt like lead, and his movement was radically impaired. Yin then went behind Vermil to attack, but just in the nick of time he increased his speed and dodged. Yang's speed then returned to normal and his hypothesis was confirmed.

"Alright, it's true we can defeat him but we have to work together. if we coordinate our attacks he'll only be able to focus on one of us at a time, and we'll have the advantage. On my mark I want you to attack."
Yang then let out a loud scream and shone forth his inner power, engulfing Vermil in his golden aura of light. Yang then rushed him, and he was again slowed down in time by Vermil, but with him nearly blinded by the bright light, he did not see Yin approaching from behind. He was attacked by a full assault of brutal attacks from Yin, and he was helpless to fight back due to his disorientation at the event. Yang, though slowed still made an approach until he was right behind Vermil. finally regaining his senses, he froze Yin in time just as he was about to get a slug to the gut. He turned around and saw Yang's slow punch towards him quickly return to real time, and he was knocked right back into Yin's frozen fist with such force that it breached the skin and impaled him. He gasped for breath and collapsed dead on Yin's fist. Yin awoke from his trance and returned to real time, seeing Vermil's corpse on his arm gave him a great moment of sadistic pleasure, which he reveled in before tossing him into the air and throwing a blast of energy at him which completely destroyed the remains. The two warriors of light and darkness collapsed and stopped to breath before finally leaving the ring and stopping to rest. Trexyl was going crazy with excitement in front of the cameras, and was overjoyed by the exciting turnout of the night.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen you saw it right here folks two of our members slain right before your eyes, the Invincible T-Force has finally met some worthy opponents. These two are really heating things up for us, one being who can give us a run for our money is spectacular, but TWO!! That gives us reason to PARTAYY!! Let's stop and take a quick break from the action to let this whole thing sink in. Our warriors need a rest, and our team needs a PARTAYY!!"

After a quick rest a wild party, Trexyl, his remaining team, and his camera crew took up their positions to resume the games. Trexyl gave the wheel another spin and let the cameras soak up the tension. The wheel slowly came to a halt and landed on a very small, thin space.

"WE-HE-HELL folks, have we got something special for you. It's time to brace yourselves for perhaps the most interesting match-up we've ever had. Yin and Yang were anxiously anticipating the results of the spin, which Trexyl was keeping to himself in order to build tension. Finally he could wait no longer and pointed the camera towards the wheel to show the results. with the wheel finally in view, the results were in. The tiny space that it landed on had small menacing print on it, which read:
"Yin vs Yang"

Wrestlemania 2000012

........Meanwhile aboard the Starship "Berserker"

"Wheel of Misfortune!!!"

"Oh good I love this show, Debra send me some popcorn and mood music."

"Right away, sir. What are you in the mood for?"

"Hmm, Oh I know! Bring me a barbershop quartet, I don't care how, just do it."

"I'm beaming them up as we speak, sir."

"Excellent, remind me to give you a raise"

"Already done, sir."

Meanwhile, back at the plot...

"LLLLLLADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS!!!! Put your hands together for the fight of the century, our reigning champion: Caesar vs the Mechanical Menace, The Titanium Terror, the Satan of Steel.....YIN!! Now who's ready to PARTAYY!!"

Yin, albeit annoyed, stepped into the ring prepared to face his most unusual foe. The largest of the group stepped into the Ring and towered above Yin. He was a large, muscular, humanoid alien that had a bald head which seemed disproportionate to the rest of his body. He chuckled as soon as he entered the arena.

"Hahaha, Puny coward, I will squash you like bug."

"Ah, so you must be Mr. tough and stupid."

"Hey you take that back or I will make death more painful than necessary"

"Alright, alright, fine...you're not tough"

"That's better.............................................................HEY!!!!! You will pay for that!"

"Alright, big guy, let's see what you've got!"

Yin then made a mad dash at Caesar, and made a full frontal assault of punches and kicks, all of which landed without an effort to block, and none of which seemed to even phase him. Yin's onslaught was eventually cut short by a punch to the face which sent him flying to the other end. He got back up and began to compute his strategy. He began a mad rush again but this time pulled his punch and used his momentum to fling himself above Caesar dodging his punch by less than an inch and launched a blast of energy into the back of Caesar's head which caught him off guard and revealed itself to be his weak spot. Caesar quickly got back up on his feet and went on the offensive, first launching a volley of punches which were far too slow to match Yin's speed and were easily dodged. Yin then maneuvered around his hits using a poorly aimed punch to launch himself up above Caesar once again, and repeated his previous move. This worked just as well the second time, and he repeated the process several times until Caesar was finally smart enough to catch on to the ploy (it took a surprising amount of time for him to make this observation) and Yin was frankly disappointed by his opponent's obvious stupidity. Finally he pulled back and fired an energy blast of his own at Yin, but left himself wide open for attack. Yin surrounded his hands with an aura of energy, caught the blast, and jumped over Caesar throwing it to the back of his head, which was now covered in ashes and was extremely raw from the several severe burns it had received. Caesar at this point was getting dizzy, irritated, and tired and was driven to a point where he actually made an attempt to strategize. He fired a blast of energy at Yin and let him repeat the process of blasting him in the back of the head, but then fired a special blast behind him, which made contact with Yin and froze him in place.

"BAHAHAHA!!! I have you trapped like fish with arms cut off! Who is stupid one now!?"

Caesar's stupidity was getting painful at this point, almost more painful than the barrage of powerful slugs that followed and hit the incapacitated Yin. He was really beginning to take a beating when the opportunity he needed arose and one of his punches slipped. His eyes naturally jutted open in surprise at the sudden loss of balance, and Yin then flashed a blinding light from his eyes. Caesar screamed in shock and pain, and in his disorientation, the energy binding Yin in place dissipated freeing him and provoking an attack almost instantly after he was free. Yin slashed a cut into Caesar's chest and doubled backwards, charging up a dark purple aura within his hands. Caesar regained his sight just in time to see the horror of Yin's finishing move. An aura the same color as the aura surrounding Yin's hands appeared around the wound and stabbed slightly into it, only just enough to breach skin. He then pulled back his hands, and the aura followed the motion, pulling the wounds wide open, he fired a dark blast of energy into the cut and then slammed his hands together, sealing the wounds just after the blast had entered them. Caesar screamed in pain and slowly disintegrated, leaving nothing but a pile of ashes in his wake. Out of breath, Yin collapsed on the floor for a brief moment before getting back up and ending the fight with one last witty remark:

"Looks like Caesar...."

He then conjured up a pair of sunglasses, which he put on for dramatic effect.

"Couldn't take the heat"

"And the winner is Yin, in a surprise turn of events, Yin  has claimed victory and defeated our reigning Champion, Caesar, and did it in style! this Party's heating up folks. Before our next round let's get some insight from our winner, how did you pull off that miraculous victory!?" Announced Trexyl to the camera crew

"Well by the end he got pretty baked, so all I had to do was heat things up a little and kick his ash! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! Oh man, I'm on fire! I'm here all week folks. Now who do I get to kill next!?" Retorted Yin

"Well let's see where we land next on the WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE!!"

Trexyl gave the wheel another spin and it landed on the matchup of Yin & Yang vs Vermil, a small awkward looking alien that irradiated no intense amount of power, but has a few tricks up his sleeves. Next time on Silken Skies

The T-Force

A week went by, and the group finally began to relax, as they were confident in the abilities of Yin and Yang and were certain that whatever henchmen came next would be less than a match. They resumed their nightly watch and tried to get some sleep only to be interrupted by a large crash on the roof. They were expecting this, as henchmen came every day since the arrival of Yin and Yang. This time however they were surprised to find nothing but a small spaceship that could house no more than 10 people. They looked around, but could find no evidence of any attacker. However, just when they were getting ready to retreat back inside the building, a flash and a sonic boom were seen in the skies above them.

What happened next made heads roll. Five figures appeared from the sky performing a series of maneuvers that went horribly wrong. They bickered amongst themselves without stopping their routine, and managed to perform a few good tricks before landing in a circular formation with the strongest of them filling the center. They each spoke one at a time in a choreographed order.

"Weaklings like you don't know REAL fear"

"We will teach you the true meaning of pain!"

"We will make ourselves into stars and you into stardust!"

"The planet of [insert name here] will be ours for the taking! But don't worry, we'll leave it looking better than ever! I hope you're ready to PARTAYYYY!!!!"

"Prepare for a legendary beat down from the FABULOUS FIVE!"

Then they all shouted in unison:

"We are the elite 5 soldiers of Commander Xigby!"

"Trexyl!"

"Vermil!"

"Benvolio!"

"Caesar!"

"Xavier!"

"And together we are......." They proceeded to do a series of flamboyant poses and fighting moves, all building up to a big unified announcement

"The T-Force!"

All the Alpha Team could do was stare in an amazed sense of embarrassment. Yin was the only one who could muster up a sentence in reply to them.

"So let me get this straight, you're the henchmen correct?"

"Not just any henchmen... the elite fighters of the universe....the names most feared and respected across the galaxies.....The ultimate fighting squad....The T-FORCE!!!!"

Even Yin was embarrassed by this point, but continued onward.

"You've made that quite obvious, now let me see if I have my archetypes right. You're the pretty boy; you're the small, ugly one with the freaky power; You're the stupid one with the brute strength; You're the right hand man, and you must be the leader."

"I see you've heard of us before, now allow us to kindly pound you into dust like gentlemen, But first let's PARTAYY!!! It's time for everyone's favorite game!"

They quickly wheeled out a large game show style wheel and film crew, and excitedly yelled in unison:

"Wheel of Misfortune!!"

The wheel had all of the fighters names on them and the names of Yin, Yang, and Yin & Yang, setting up a variety of different possible fights.

"I'm Captain T, coming to you live. Let's see our first match up!" Proclaimed Trexyl

He spun the wheel until it landed on the match-up of Yin vs Caesar ,who was the brute of the group. Trexyl made a big deal out of it soaking it up to the cameras, and then had his men wheel out an arena onto the roof of the building. Within a few minutes they were set up, and the fight was about to begin.

The Narrator Strikes Back

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Losers and gentlemen, boys and germs, welcome back the epic Science fiction story about the greatest villain to ever exist! MEEE!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Oh man is it good to be the narrator. Let me tell you, I feel like a god. This is the life...I can shape the world in my image! Make the characters do whatever I want! I have absolute power!!!!! Man this is boring, anyway so the group congratulated the idiot, they all had a good laugh, and they got back to their BORING routine at the BORING campsite.

"HEY, YOU'RE RUINING MY STORY!!!!!! SHOW A LITTLE RESPECT FOR YOUR ELDERS"

oh look, it's Shakespeare. You want a Newberry award boy, you want a Newberrry!!

"I GAVE YOU LIFE AND I CAN TAKE IT AWAY JUST AS EASILY!!! NO ONE messes with the narrator! NO ONE!!!!!! Now let me show you the RIGHT way to narrate"

There was a brilliant flash of light and the chaos drifted peacefully away back to the natural order. I resumed my narration of this story while Yin was transported back into it as a character, he was of course annoyed, but relieved to be rid of the power of the narrator, as he was getting bored of the role anyway. The team was completely oblivious to all that went on, as is to be expected. They all laughed off the events of the night and resumed their posts at the nightly watch.

"You will never amount to the narrator I would've been" Remarked Yin

Shut up and get back to work, And don't get cocky, you'd be out of this story in 5 minutes if I weren't so generous. I could make you walk right off a cliff if I wanted to....Anyway, enough about you. I think I'll check in on the enemy and let the viewers see what is happening on that front.

"Wait, wait I need the spotlig..."

Machines whirred, computers beeped, and radars pinged. These were all normal sounds on the starship "Berserker" The base of operations for the Xecl invaders. The alien commander was sitting at in the Captain's seat reviewing the plans for next years invasion when a soldier burst through the door.
"Commander Xigby, Officer Umara has been defeated! He was defeated easily by those two extreme powers we sensed."

"Bah, he was a weakling anyway. I knew his 5 minute transformation sequence would get him killed eventually. I just never thought that the ripple in space and time would come from something so weak."

"Sir, not to be rude, but those two are the strongest beings we've ever encountered."

"They WERE the strongest, but that device cut their power in half. Even still, with my calculations I held more power than them when they were one. But that device could be VERY useful to us......Do we still have trace elements of the energy on the ship?"

"Very faint sir, but there is still enough to reproduce the energy if we start immediately."

"Get to work then, we have a schedule to keep."

"Yes sir!"

the soldier rushed out of the room, and the commander smirked. He swiveled his chair over to the intercom on his desk and began to speak into it. His secretary answered the call

"Debra, We need an exterminator for these pests.....send the elite 5"

"The G-Force Sir?"

"No, the...other ones"

"Them....surely you can't be serious sir"

"I am serious and, don't call me Shirley. Sadly, they're the strongest we've got and...those two aren't giving me much of a choice. Just....just do what I say"

"Right away sir, oh and your mother called, do you want me to tell her you're sick again?"

"Um, yes...something we haven't we used yet"

"I'll tell her your suffering from a torn glubach"

"Good one, and beam me up some coffee. Two lumps of sugar, and one pack of creamer...."
With that, the alien leader let out a maniacal laugh, and returned to planning next year's hostile takeover.

A New Sheriff In Town

After settling in with the....uncomfortable introduction, everybody took their safety watch positions and resumed the nightly routine. About halfway through the night an alarm shrieked and pierced the ears of all the sleeping soldiers. Yang was shaken from his meditation and Yin, was woken up from the middle of a dream that involved orphans, a sack of puppies, and fire. Everyone swung into action, everyone that is except Yin who was too lazy to remove himself from his comfortable bed. Until he realized that Yang would steal his thunder, at which point his pride overrode his sloth, and he sprung to the cause. What triggered the alarm was an attack on the base by one of the elite Xecl soldiers, Officer Umara who had been sent to eradicate The Alpha Team since the Alien commander saw them as a nuisance. They confronted him, and he revealed his purpose and his job.

"You weaklings have been a real thorn in Commander Xigby's side, he doesn't like that. I don't like when he's unhappy, and I want my promotion. So if you surrender now, I'll make sure your death isn't THAT painful."

His threats didn't deter the team.....except Yin, who was shaking in  his boots.

"HEY! That's a lie, how dare you make me look bad. Don't make me teach you where you're jurisdiction ends" Yang rebutted

All right, geez. It was only a joke. Anyway, Yang's sloth overrode his pride at that point, since he realized how weak this guy actually was.

"Yang you've got this one right? Even someone as weak as you can handle this clown."

Yang glared at him, but refused to sink to the low of a verbal comeback, he looked the Officer in the eye and made his advance.

"I'm going to give you the chance to surrender now without a fight, I know that you will not be easily convinced, so I will show you my true power so you know what you're getting into." Yang declared. He focused his energy and flared up  his power to his maximum potential, his aura growing in size until it encompassed the building, the light glowing nearly as bright as a star. He then simmered down and returned to his dormant state.

"You....you think you're so tough, but you haven't seen what I can do." The Officer yelled before attacking. He laid out an onslaught of punches, kicks and and various other attacks with little success. Yang dodged them all, without moving more than two steps away from his spot. The Officer was completely embarrassed and let out a cry of rage. He started to use his hand cannons to fire energy blasts at Yang, but they were even more gracefully dodged. Not a single hit was landed, and the enemy officer was MAD. He began to babble in his anger, and started to make as little sense as Yin.

"Grrrr....watch it bud" Yin muttered

"You have gone far enough. You mock me now, but I haven't revealed the power of my transformation!" the officer yelled. He then screamed an intense war cry and began to quake. He slowly grew in size and began to grow more powerful. about a minute passed and he was still transforming. Yin was awestruck and yelled

"What are you waiting for!? Attack him now, he's wide open!"

"Don't you see? I cannot, I am bound by literary law. You see, if a character, especially an antagonist, has the potential to grow stronger, he must and must be allowed the means necessary. So I must wait until he's done."

"That..That's a load of bull, whose to stop us, I'm going to attack him if you don't"

No you won't Yin, I'm in charge here, and this story must maintain some order.

"Ok, that's it....I've had it with you!" Yin shouted. There was a flash of light, which was consumed by mass darkness. The universe froze, and it's rotation was skewed... Aaaahhhhh, now that that's over with things are going to be run a little differently now that the almighty Yin is in charge of this story. Narrator rules are abolished, and I will defeat this man! I attacked him just before he finished and pierced right through him. He disintegrated into a pile of dust and blew away in the wind. THE WIND I SAY! How pathetic. Hahahahaha, I love being in charge, it's so thrilling! Tune in to the next episode folks, where I kill a bunch of orphans with a sack of puppies that's on fire!!!! Only on Silken Skies........

Two Heads Are NOT Better Than One

The stare-down continued, each of them only a muscle twitch away from destroying the other. Both knew that the other was prepared for any counterattack, so they just stood waiting for the other to make a move.The tension between the two warriors was thick enough to cut with a knife...

"You know Mr. Narrator, that sounds like a good idea to me, I just love to cut things..."

Wait what? Did he just talk to me.... never mind, anyway The team knew that the impending fight needed to be interrupted but only a madman would step between the likes of those two. Naturally, doctor Schenckenstein rose to the challenge.

"Gentlemen please calm yourselves, don't kill each other just yet. You both already should know your situation, and should have retained all your knowledge, so why don't you introduce yourselves and lets just try to get along. Let's start with you first Mr. tall dark and gruesome..."

He indicated to the dark, shadowy, and clearly insane one.
"I was once the ultimate evil, but that was a long time ago....in a galaxy far far away... no laughter...wait that's before your time. You young-lings wouldn't understand the humor of the past. Anyway when Doctor Who here tried to destroy me he turned half of me into THAT disgusting creature over there."

He indicated to his other half


"Wait how did you know about that? I wiped your memory.." The Doctor Said.

"You should've done your research old man, I have powers of omniscience, you wiped that when you wiped our memory, but our diffusion restored the factory default set of abilities both of us attained at the times when we were fully good or evil in my case..."

Omnisciency, so that's how he does it....

"You, narrator man. Shut your mouth when I'm talking, you're stealing my spotlight. Anyway as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. I was once the herald of the Apocalypse, but now I am reduced to saving this pathetic rock. But you know what they say... if you can't kill them, join them until you can... Anyway, now that my identity has been stripped from me by Doogie Houser over here, I have no name. I guess you can just call me Yin, as I am the yin of our souls' essence. Take it away light bulb!"

Yin signaled to the other half of #2015, who had a white glowing aura about him in contrast to the dark black aura of Yin. He was garbed in all white, and seemed to float rather than stand, barely even touching the ground, he glided to the middle in peaceful serenity.

"Well, that's a hard act to follow, but you can call me Yang since I am the Yang of our souls' essence. I was once destined to be the earth's savior, I was to lead the world through it's final war and into peace, but I was corrupted and transformed into the monster you know as Yin...And not to be outdone by my rival I too possess a sixth sense and have the power of clairvoyance parallel to Yin's omniscience. And I am morally obligated to keep you safe from Yin, as my personality was modeled after the 6 perfections of life: Wisdom, Patience, Ethics, Generosity, Concentration and Perseverance; Yin here was modeled after the 7 deadly sins: Wrath, Greed, Envy, Pride, Sloth, Gluttony, & Lust. So no matter what he does, know that I am here to keep him in balance, and after this charade I will personally see to his destruction, for I know that lives are in danger as long as this part of me is still alive. The only reason he exists is because of me, so I must be the one to destroy him. But that is another battle for another time, for now I lend my talents to the cause, and I will fight until humanity is saved..."
