When Darkness Falls...

The Last Wish

"Quick! Uh-I wish we were invisible!" Timmy Turner said in a frightened whisper. Wanda nodded in agreement, and with a quick wave and poof of her wand, the two of them became invisible.

The story of their world played out the same as it had for many others, it couldn’t have been more than 3 hours at most since it came, but already he was almost certain he and Wanda were the last ones left. The two currently found themselves trapped in their own house, the twisted forms of Timmy's parents, Cosmo and Vicky searching tirelessly for them.

Vicky.

She was different. Every other corrupted they encountered was largely the same. Pupilless, darkness slowly dripping from them as they searched for survivors, picking them off one by one. Not Vicky. For the two survivors, it was all so surreal. Unlike everyone else, she still seemed to be fully conscious and controlling herself, mainly represented by the fact that she still had her pupils in both eyes. Cosmo, or what was Cosmo, followed her around the house, his magic captured for Vicky's twisted needs. Her trademark chain saw had been fused to her left hand, and the fingers of the other hand had been elongated and sharpened into deadly claws.

Timmy and Wanda froze as they heard her laugh again from another room, the kitchen. It quickly approached the room they were in, the living room.

She walked into the living room, laughing maniacally, her head thrown back and her distorted eyes searching the room. She pulled the cord on the chainsaw that was fused to her left hand. The deafening WHIR of its motor came to life, followed by the blade spinning, filling the room oppressively.

"WH3R3 @R3 Y0U TW3RP?!" She shouted into the seemingly empty room. She let out a roar of frustration before she slashed at one of the walls with her clawed hand.

They had to get out of here. Now. Even with invisibility, Timmy was afraid that they would be found soon, he had no idea what this darkness-empowered Vicky was capable of, and even if they weren't found, there was a very real chance that Vicky could accidentally kill them in one of her fits of rage.

Though invisible, Timmy and Wanda could vaguely see each other's outlines in the air. Careful not to make a sound, they began to move slowly towards the front door.

creak

He froze. Despite their efforts, he had unfortunately stepped on a loose floorboard, the creak barely audible over the idle whir of Vicky's chainsaw.

Vicky froze as well, and in one terrifying motion, turned her head straight at them, even though she was facing the complete opposite direction.

She roared again before swinging her chainsaw towards the seemingly empty space.

"RUN!!" Timmy yelled before ducking underneath the chainsaw as Vicky swung it in their direction. They made a beeline for the front door. Vicky quickly followed, using the sound of his footsteps to gauge where he was.

The two quickly made it to the sidewalk and took off as fast as they could go. Timmy's head was fuzzy with adrenaline and terror as he tried desperately to think of something he could wish for. Before he could, he heard a telltale magical poof behind him and turned just in time to dodge and roll out of the way of a magical laser beam, taking off down a sidestreet.

Author's Note:

Anomaly #001: Vicky

Vicky is a character originating from the animated series The Fairly Oddparents, where her primary role was as a main antagonist for main character Timmy Turner. She is cruel and heartless, taking every opportunity she can throughout the series to make everyone around her as miserable as possible.

it is not yet known why, but in corruption she maintains 100% control over her body and mind, the darkness acting more like a power up than a possession in this specific instance. The leading theory at the moment is that the darkness, if sentient, saw potential in her based on her personality, and instead of possessing her, did what we've observed here.

So far, Vicky is the only recorded instance of a character maintaining control over their mind and body post-corruption, and this makes her exceedingly dangerous. Her already cruel mind is supercharged in her corrupted form, and she has been documented to kill any survivors she comes up against rather than simply corrupt them. This makes her the #1 most powerful corrupted character recorded so far.

If this wasn't already enough, she possesses one more trick up her sleeve: Fairy Magic.

Cosmo, one of Timmy's former fairy companions prior to corruption, acts as a wish granter for Vicky now, allowing her to use an otherwise long-forgotten weapon: the Remote.

The remote that Vicky wields originates from the early 2000s TV movie Channel Chasers, and allows Vicky the ability to travel the cartoon multiverse as she pleases and bring to bear magical attacks against any would be survivors. It is powered by Cosmo's fairy magic, and it is theorized that if a survivor manages to separate him from Vicky in some way, that this connection would be severed, and consequently hinder Vicky greatly. This however would not be an easy task for most survivors, and would require them to possess magic of their own to counter hers.

In addition to magic, Vicky has been observed to show close quarters combat prowess as well, owing to the addition of a chainsaw fused to her left hand and the other's fingers being morphed into elongated claws.

Vicky has not yet left her home world, opting to stay for the sole purpose of hunting down and finally ending Timmy Turner once and for all. However, Timmy is far from helpless, owing to the fact that he is accompanied by Wanda, his other fairy companion. With the two theoretically only limited by their imaginations in a one on one fight, who wins when these two clash for the last time is anyone's guess.

My inspiration for this comes from artwork by creators Impyboo and JakeNeutron on YT, for the designs for Vicky and Timmy respectively.

You know it's gonna be serious when a corrupted character has boss music.

Hope you're excited, I've got big plans ;)

Heh heh, thanks. Sorry about the delay for this one, I wanted to make sure my releases for the next couple days weren't rushed. Since I missed two days, I'll be publishing another chapter later today, bringing yet another popular animated world into the mix.

Different worlds and their perspectives on the darkness's arrival, I legitimately love it.
