Empathetic yandere

Back at the mall in Yokohama, Carol nervously glanced at Iori. "Are you still streaming?"

"Hmm? Nah. I stopped a few seconds ago. Did get everything from snarf to skidoo though, so whoever that Desperado was, their ass is getting roasted while they wallow behind bars," Iori grinned. 

"Iori-chan, I get she was trying to kill Carol-chan, but you don't need to gloat that much about her suffering," Mimoko glared. 

"No, I should apologize. I didn't expect to see her here, or for her to attack me," Carol frowned. 

Before anyone could ask for further elaboration, a young woman with shoulder-length multi-colored hair suddenly ran up to them. "No way! It Iori-chan n' Cece! Oh, and their friend, Mimo!"

Mimoko froze in confusion as Iori and Carol began grinning. "You a fan!?" the two asked.

"I- I'm 69Scatslut6966."

"YO! In the flesh! You're constantly super chatting big bucks. So wanna collab for your own million dollar challenge?" Iori grinned.

"You know it!"

Carol however, suddenly became uneasy as she noticed a glint in the girl's eye. "IORI-"

"ACK!?"

Iori suddenly began clutching her chest and fell to the ground in pain.

"What's going on!?" Mimoko cried as she kneeled down to help Iori.

"Ah, and I was hopping I'd be able to empathize with you too, Zin," 69Scatlut6966 chuckled as she ripped some latex off her face.

Carol clenched her fist as she recognized the face before her. "So it was you, Emmie."

"Emmie?"

"She's a witch like Lynessa, but her magic allows her to kill people she can "empathize with"." 

"That's evil," Mimoko shuddered as she attempted to keep Iori alive.

"It's downright sadistic, yeah, but it has so many stipulations. First I gotta empathize with my target, second, I gotta be in range, and third, they gotta resonate with me. Ah, if only Zin didn't recognize me, we could have hit it off. I mean, I am really 69Scatslut6966, so I'm already subbed to the top tier of both hers and Iori's channels."

"So you go that far just to trick people?"

"Nah, like Zin said, my ability's killing those I empathize with. That means I'm really into the shit they're into."

"Then why are you hurting them!?"

"Cuz Granny Salem says so, and well I gotta listen to the good ole matriarch if I don't wanna end up dead in a ditch myself. Besides, I'm more of a yandere anyway so I got no probs with killing folks I like."

Carol glared before unleashing a rapid kick at Emmie, causing Emmie to stumble back in shock. "Oi, where'd ya learn shit like that!? Kristalo!"

As Carol prepared to land another kick, an effeminate young man suddenly appeared and blocked it. The young man was scrawny and completely hairless, wearing nothing but a black speedo and some goth makeup and lipstick.

Carol scowled and quickly retreated to Mimoko and Iori as a woman with turquoise hair suddenly emerged from the shadows and joined the man and Emmie.

"Not good, we gotta knock out Emmie before Iori dies," Carol trembled.

"What do you mean?" Mimoko asked.

"Her spell causes her target's heart to be constricted and takes about 5 minutes to kill it's target, but it can be interrupted by knocking out it's caster, Emmie, or Emmie herself could choose to halt the spell."

"Ugh, I was hoping the final condition for my power wouldn't be leaked. Welp, with Kristalo and Simone here, you ain't getting any hits in on me," Emmie smirked.

"Oh, who needs to land a hit?" a voice snickered.

Everyone turned to notice Skarberghast strolling up to them with a DESPER in hand. 

"PROFESSOR!? Why are you here!?" Simone gasped. 

"This guy's your teach? What's he like?" Emmie whispered. 

Simone quickly whispered what he was like to Emmie, allowing Emmie to begin her empathy spell. Yet despite empathizing with Skaberghast's lazy outlook, and him seemingly resonating with her, the spell failed, or rather was stopped as a turquoise glow briefly emitted from Skaberghast's chest.

"H- Huh!? W- Why'd it fail!?"

"Simple, I got a better life insurance plan than Ishikiridokoro over there. In fact, I think you're doing us a solid in taking her out. Except..."

Skaberghast turned towards Iori, Mimoko, and Carol and smirked. Despite being on the verge of death, and in pain, Iori had managed to pull a DESPER key out of her breasts.

"Science has advanced to where it can nullify paltry magic like yours. So, want fate to go into your own hand, or not?" Skaberghast snickered as he began walking towards Iori.

Emmie bit her lip before suddenly pulling out a vile of oil and smearing it all over Kristalo. Simone also did the same and the two began rubbing the oil down Kristalo's body, all while chanting, "Ura, ura. Woo, woo." It was honestly more like an awkward cheer performance than an incantation, though an incantation was exactly what it was.

As the two gazed at Kristalo's shiny head, Emmie's eyes widened before scowling and charging towards Skaberghast. "I'll play instead."

"Hoh? I am the more experienced player-"

"You weren't going to give me a choice anyway."

Skaberghast smirked and activated his DESPER. "Right you are. Full marks unlike your sister that blows every test."

Simone glared at the remark, but her expression quickly changed to that of bewilderment as the scenery changed to that of a robot graveyard. To hers and Emmie's horror, Iori suddenly shot up with a murderous glare in her eyes.

"Your ass is fucking DEAD for that!"

Emmie squealed in terror, as she suddenly found herself walking towards a chessboard atop a pile of destroyed robots. Once she and Iori sat down, they were asked to give conditions for the wager. 

"For me? I get healed from the curse fucking up my heart, and Scatslut, YOUR ASS UNSUBSCRIBES AND GETS SHAVED N' STRIPPED BEFORE ALL YOUR FUCKING SKIN MELTS OFF LIKE THAT GUY FROM ILLINOIS JOE!" Iori raged, fury completely consuming her entire being. 

Emmie was taken aback by Iori's bloodlust, but quickly regained her composure. "In that case, you lose, instead of dying, you lose all your free will and become my wife and slave."

Iori's rage subsided slightly. "Hoh? Well you're a kinky bitch aren't ya. And I will admit, you did tug at my heartstrings a bit. Hey, can I swap out the skin melting for just her heat exploding?"

Skaberghast gazed down at the DESPER before looking back up and responding with a smirk.

"Great, now let the disrespect begin!"

A malicious smirk appeared on Emmie's face causing Carol to grow uneasy. Mimoko took notice and asked what was up, yet did not expect the answer she received.

"That ritual she performed with her brother and sister allows her to see into the future."

"Wait what!?"

"Even though men in the Broadstone family have no magical aptitude, they can serve as conduits in certain rituals."

"Broadstone? Carol-chan, just what is your connection to these witches?"

"I'll explain later. In regards to Kristalo his sisters claim keeping him bald and oiled at all times is to increase the conductivity, but the two are really just massive bro-cons-" 

"Um, excuse me!? I can hear that!" Simone fumed.

"Still, you don't think she's foreseen every move, do you?" Mimoko asked. 

Carol went silent and watched as the game began. It started off simple enough with Emmie moving her pawn to e5 and Iori moving her pawn to e5. But after Emmie moved her knight to f3, Iori began to smirk and slammed her king down on e7. While this was normal for Iori, what really unnerved Carol and Mimoko was Emmie's maliciously confident grin as she moved her pawn to b3.

"Looks like Zin spilled the beans about the ritual. Well, it's too late to warn your friend, and not like it'll change a thing. On the 14th move, Iori-chan will resign," Emmie thought as Iori shrugged and moved her knight to c6.
