“BREAKING NEWS!! ULTRAVILLAIN SPARKLE CAT BURNS ENTIRE TOWN DOWN!!” Yep. That's what I was used to hearing every night. The news broadcaster comes on, “BREAKING NEWS!!” followed by my name. Hi, I’m Sparkle. My real name is Arbol Suelo, but I keep my identity secret. I’m the mo- 2nd most dangerous villain in South Park!!

Who or what could emit such light?! As the light started to fade, I could only come to one conclusion: This had to be something supernatural!

I continued to wreak havoc on the town. As I watched people scramble and the destruction I created unfolding, I felt a strange presence watching me. I scanned the area for any signs of life but to no avail. It felt as if I was being watched by an invisible eye. I continued to search the area, convinced something or someone was watching me. Suddenly, a voice called out to me. It was a soft and gentle voice, with a hint of playfulness. “You’re quite the villain you know.” I spun around, shocked to find someone right behind me. A beautiful figure stood in front of me, with eyes that seemed to sparkle and a smile that seemed to light up the darkness of the night. She was wearing a bright pink dress, standing out in the darkness of the night. I stood there in awe, not knowing what to say. The figure didn’t seem to mind the surprise I felt. She stood there with an amused look on her face as if she was expecting me to be there. I finally gathered up enough courage to ask, “Who are you?” The figure smiled and said, “Why, I’m your new guardian of course! I’ll be watching over you from now on.” I was taken aback by her words. I had never expected someone like this to be by my side. I looked at her, still unsure of what to do. She seemed to understand my confusion and continued, “Don’t worry, I’m here to help. I can show you things you never thought were possible, and even guide you away from danger if needed. I promise I’ll always be by your side.” I couldn’t contain my excitement any longer. I nodded and said, “Yes! I’d love that!” With that, my new guardian simply smiled and said, “Good. Then let’s get to work!” That was the beginning of my Mysterious Night. I had met a stranger, and gained a guardian! I still had no idea of who or what was behind the beautiful light I saw earlier, but with this new companion of mine, I was sure I would find out soon enough.

| Chapter 11: Without A Warning | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was morning. Great, all I would hear about was “Sparkle’s the worst”, “We need to put a stop to Sparkle”, and “Beware Sparkle!! The worst being alive!!” I was sick of this, but ever since I agreed to the deal with Lilith….I couldn’t stop this. It was like….The catch to this was the insanity it was causing me! I walked to the bus stop, only to find no one there. The bus had already stopped by. That meant I needed to walk to school. Great. So, I did. I walked to school and didn’t arrive until noon. Almost the end of the school day. I was exasperated. When I walked in, I was berated by Stan and Kyle. The two were talking about their encounters with Sparkle as Kite and Toolshed. Great. I thought to myself as I walked to class, ignoring everything the 2 were saying. A few moments later, the news was dropped on me, and I was called to Mr. Mackey’s office. Why? Well…Some kids were traumatized, and they wanted to help the traumatized kids and question others to figure out who Sparkle was. I was questioned, luckily, I’m a good liar and I was let out without anyone suspecting it was me. Good. Suddenly. As the school day ended, I found myself…Walking to the back of the school…? Why, I was unsure. But, I then found myself in front of Lilith. “What do you want,” I questioned angrily, “I want nothing to do with you.” “Oh, dear, why are you so upset? You loved me just a few days ago. Now you hate me? What's up?” Lilith replied. She was a sweet talker. Without A Warning, or even a signal, my dark side took over!! I couldn’t stop it. It had gotten so strong, that it could take over immediately, I had no chance to fight it. I was once again a spectator in my mind…

| Chapter 12: Fang and Claw | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Hello??” I heard as I woke up. Everything went black shortly after my dark side took over. “Sparkle!! Are you alright?” I opened my eyes to a kid, who had hair covering one eye and was dressed in all black. They had extremely sharp teeth that looked like fangs. “W-Who are you?” I asked, rubbing my aching head. “My name is Fang.” She said. “Quick and random question…Are you a vamp kid?” I said. “Haha, I get asked that alot. Nope, me and my brother, whose name is Claw are part of the goth kids. I was just born with naturally sharp teeth.” Fang replied. “Sup.” Claw said. “Claw! Show Sparkle your claws!!” Fang yelled to Claw. “Oh, yeah.” Claw said, extending his hand to show me his sharp, claw-like nails. “Oh wow!!” I exclaimed. "Anyway, what happened to you back there? You just blacked out and started acting all crazy," Fang asked. I hesitated, unsure of how to explain the darkness that resided within me. "It's...complicated," I replied, struggling to find the right words. "Well, if you ever need someone to talk to, we're here for you," Fang said, offering a comforting smile. As I looked into her eyes, I felt a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness that consumed me. Perhaps, amid chaos and despair, I had found unexpected allies in Fang and Claw, and a chance to confront the darkness within me.

| Chapter 13: Sharp Teeth and Sharp Nail | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next night, as the moon cast an eerie glow over South Park, I found myself wandering the streets, grappling with the darkness that resided within me. Fang and Claw, the goth kids, had sought me out, offering their support and understanding. As we met in a secluded alley, I sensed a newfound sense of kinship with them, a shared understanding of the darkness that lurked within us. "Sparkle, we've been thinking," Fang began, her sharp teeth glinting in the moonlight. "What if we embraced our darker sides and took on new goth villain alter egos?" she suggested, her eyes glimmering with excitement. Claw nodded in agreement, extending his sharp, claw-like nails. "We could use our unique abilities to instill fear and chaos in the hearts of the town," he added, a mischievous glint in his eyes. I hesitated, unsure of the implications of embracing our darker selves. But as I looked into their determined gazes, I felt a surge of empowerment. "I...I think it's worth a shot," I replied, a newfound sense of determination welling up within me. As the night progressed, we delved into the depths of our darker personas, embracing the malevolent forces that resided within us. Fang and Claw donned new goth villain alter egos, their eyes gleaming with a newfound sense of purpose. Together, we reveled in the chaos and fear we instilled in the hearts of the townspeople, our dark alter egos taking hold with a sense of exhilaration. However, as I found myself alone in the darkness, a sudden encounter with Toolshed, a hero, brought my newfound sense of empowerment crashing down. He aimed his nail gun at me, causing me to freeze in fear. The sight of the nail gun triggered a deep sense of terror within me, and in a moment of vulnerability, I inadvertently embraced the fear that had plagued me for so long. Toolshed, sensing my newfound vulnerability, used it to his advantage, capturing and interrogating me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| Chapter 14: Toolshed’s Interrogation | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I found myself bound and confined in a dimly lit room, a sense of foreboding hanging heavy in the air. Toolshed, the hero who had captured me, loomed over me with a steely gaze, his nail gun held menacingly in his hand. "Where are your allies? What are your plans?" Toolshed demanded, his voice cold and unwavering. I struggled against my restraints, my heart pounding with fear and desperation. "I...I can't tell you anything," I stammered, my voice trembling with uncertainty. Toolshed's eyes narrowed, and he raised the nail gun, the sharp, pointed nails glinting in the dim light. "You will tell me everything, or else," he threatened, the cold metal of the nail gun pressed against my temple. Panic surged through me as I felt the sharp points of the nails against my skin, the threat of their piercing force sending shivers down my spine. I fought to maintain my composure, but the fear that had plagued me for so long threatened to overwhelm me. As Toolshed pressed me for answers, I struggled to resist the overwhelming sense of terror that threatened to consume me. The darkness within me surged, a tumultuous mix of fear and desperation, leaving me vulnerable to his relentless interrogation. I clenched my fists, my mind racing as I fought to find a way to resist his relentless questioning. But as the nail gun remained poised at my side, I knew that I was powerless to escape his grasp. As the interrogation dragged on, I found myself grappling with the realization that my vulnerability had been exploited, my fears used against me to gain the upper hand. I struggled to maintain a facade of strength, but deep down, I knew that Toolshed had uncovered a weakness that I had long sought to conceal. As the weight of my vulnerability settled over me, I vowed to find a way to overcome the fear that had been weaponized against me, to reclaim the strength that had been stripped away in the face of Toolshed's relentless interrogation. But as I lay bound and vulnerable, the darkness within me surged, a potent reminder of the formidable forces that threatened to consume me.

| Chapter 15: Rescued By The Shadows | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the oppressive weight of Toolshed's relentless interrogation bore down on me, a sudden commotion erupted outside the room. The sound of fierce, guttural growls and the sharp clatter of metal filled the air, sending a surge of hope coursing through me. Moments later, the door burst open, and two shadowy figures loomed in the doorway. Sharp Tooth and Sharp Nail, the goth villain alter egos of Fang and Claw, stood before me, their eyes glinting with defiance and determination. "Let him go, Toolshed," Sharp Tooth snarled, her voice dripping with menace as she stepped forward, her sharp, fang-like teeth bared in a feral snarl. Toolshed raised his nail gun, his expression resolute as he attempted to intimidate them. "You think you can intimidate me with your goth personas? I won't hesitate to use this nail gun on you as well," he warned, the sharp nails of the gun glinting in the dim light. But Sharp Tooth and Sharp Nail remained undaunted, their resolve unshaken by Toolshed's threats. With a swift, coordinated effort, they lunged forward, their movements fluid and precise as they disarmed Toolshed and swiftly freed me from my restraints. As we made our escape, Sharp Tooth and Sharp Nail led the way, their goth personas exuding an air of unyielding strength and defiance. Despite Toolshed's attempts to thwart our escape, they navigated the shadows with a sense of purpose and determination, leading us to safety through the labyrinthine twists and turns of the darkened corridors. As we emerged into the night, the moon cast an ethereal glow over the town, and I felt a surge of gratitude for the unwavering support and loyalty of my newfound allies. Together, we had defied the forces of darkness that had sought to imprison and exploit us, emerging from the shadows with a newfound sense of resilience and determination. As we vanished into the night, I knew that our encounter with Toolshed had only strengthened our resolve, forging an unbreakable bond that would guide us through the trials and tribulations that lay ahead. In the darkness, we found solace and strength, united in our shared defiance against the forces that sought to imprison and control us. And as we vanished into the night, the shadows whispered of the formidable forces that had been unleashed.

| Chapter 16: Confrontation At Home | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As we made our way through the quiet streets of South Park, Sharp Tooth and Sharp Nail by my side, I couldn't shake the feeling of trepidation as we approached my house. I had invited them over, hoping to find solace and support in the familiar comfort of my home. However, as we stepped through the front door, we were met with an unexpected confrontation. Flor, my older sister, stood before us, her eyes ablaze with anger and disapproval. "What in the world do you think you're doing, bringing these...these delinquents into our home?" she seethed, her voice laced with disdain. Before I could respond, Flor launched herself at me, her fists flying with a ferocity that left me reeling. I stumbled backward, the impact of her blows leaving me dazed and disoriented. Sharp Tooth and Sharp Nail reacted with swift, decisive action, leaping to my defense as they fought to ward off Flor's relentless assault. With fierce determination, they managed to subdue Flor, their goth personas radiating an air of unyielding strength and defiance. As they fought to protect me, I felt a surge of gratitude for their unwavering loyalty and support, their presence a beacon of hope in the face of adversity. Together, they led me to my room, tending to my injuries with a sense of care and compassion. As I lay there, nursing my wounds, they spoke words of encouragement and solidarity, their unwavering support a source of solace during the chaos that had engulfed us. "Sparkle, you don't have to face this alone," Sharp Tooth reassured me, her voice filled with empathy. "You belong with us, among the goth kids. Together, we can navigate the darkness that threatens to consume us," Claw added, his eyes glinting with a sense of purpose and determination. I nodded, a newfound sense of resolve welling up within me. "I...I want to be a part of this," I replied, my voice filled with determination. "I want to stand with you, to defy the forces that seek to imprison and control us." As I embraced my newfound identity among the goth kids, I felt a sense of belonging and purpose that had eluded me for so long. With Sharp Tooth and Sharp Nail by my side, I knew that we would win the battle against Coon and Friends, the heroes. We would win the battle against my abusive siblings! We goth kids were meant to be together!

| Chapter 17: Welcome The New Recruit. Arbol Suelo. | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the sun began to rise, Fang and Claw decided to stay over at my house. They were exhausted from all the chaos that had occurred the previous night. I, on the other hand, was too thrilled to fall asleep. I spent the rest of the night going through my wardrobe, looking for the perfect outfit to wear to school. The next morning, I woke up early and got ready for school. I put on my new outfit, a black crop top, ripped black jeans, and a leather jacket. My hair was styled in a messy bun, and I had dark makeup on. As I walked into school, I noticed all eyes were on me. It wasn't every day that someone changed their entire look overnight. As I walked towards my locker, a group of the official clique of goth kids at my school approached me. "Hey, we haven't seen you around here before. Are you new?" asked Michael, the head goth kid. I nodded, "Yeah, I'm new. My name is Arbol." Michael grinned, "Welcome to our group, Arbol. We're the goth kids, and we don't conform to anyone's standards." I smiled, feeling a sense of acceptance I had never felt before. I spent the rest of the day with the goth kids, learning about their culture, music, and fashion. I even bonded with Fang and Claw over our shared love for metal music (ESPECIALLY FLYLEAF!). As the day went on, I began to feel a change within myself. I felt like I had finally found a place where I belonged. I decided to embrace the darkness and become a full-fledged goth. I went to the bathroom and applied even more black makeup, making me look like a true goth. When I walked out of the bathroom, the goth kids were amazed by my new look. Michael looked at me approvingly and said, "Welcome to the dark side, Arbol. You look amazing." I smiled, feeling like I had finally found my true self. I spent the rest of the day with the goth kids, feeling more comfortable and confident in my new skin. As the day came to an end, I knew that this was just the beginning of my journey into the world of nonconformity.

It was night again. I heard the dark but familiar chuckle behind me. I looked down. “No.” I said firmly to Lilith. Lilith chuckled and gave me my powers anyway before disappearing again. I sigh. I then hear an unfamiliar voice behind me. “Out of everyone…You got in debt to Lilith..?” The voice asks. “In debt?” I repeat, turning to notice the voice was in the shadows, but I noticed neon rainbow accessories and accents that light up and glew. I liked that. “Who are you?” I ask. The figure steps into the light. They’re…A demon, but a black demon with neon rainbow accents. “I’m Bass.” The demon says. “Bass? As in the music boom?” I ask. “Yes…”
