SBS: Spinel VS Jack O' Lantern (PRELUDE)

UL: You know the ancient old saying that is 'What goes around comes around'. Mettaton: Indeed, actions will always have consequences. No matter how long it takes, consequences will always come back to haunt you one way or another... UL: Just look at Twitter!

Mettaton: Spinel, The Jester turned Vengeful World destroyer!~

UL: And Jack O' Lantern, The Manical Pumpkin-headed prankster of Endsville! Mettaton: Hello all you beauties out there! I'm Mettaton!~ UL: And I'm the Unemployed Loser! Mettaton: And join us as we analyze these two warrior's strengths and weaknesses to see who is the true superstar!~ UL: LET'S HIT IT! _________________________________________________________________________________________ Mettaton: Thousands of years ago, there was a race of alien creatures known as Gems who ruled by the terrifying galactic leaders known as The Diamonds. However, one such Diamond wasn't quite as menacing or mature as her kinswomen, that being Pink Diamond. UL: Yeah, to put it at simple terms, Pink had the mentality of a child. She wanted to prove to her fellow Diamonds that she was capable of handling responsibilities while also wanting to do her own thing, something that didn't sit well with the Diamonds at all. In hopes of shutting her up, The Diamonds created Pink a best friend, one that would spend time and play with her, that being Spinel. Mettaton: Spinel was a happy-go-lucky gem who always had a playful attitude, along with her elastic body, she was a perfect playmate and Pink did enjoy her company... For awhile that is. UL: Like most children, Pink grew tired of Spinel but didn't have the guts to tell her to screw off. So, instead, Pink told Spinel to stand in one spot and wait for her until she came back. When Pink left, Spinel did just that... FOR SIX THOUSAND YEARS! Mettaton: Well, we now know who the undisputed Hide N' Seek champion is. While Spinel was waiting, she had no idea that Pink actually started a rebellion under the guise of Rose Quartz and later birthed a child named Steven to carry on her torch. UL: Steven would then make peace with Homeworld and Earth, where he would make an announcement on every facet of the Gem's former colonies and wouldn't you know it, one of those facets was on the garden where Spinel was abandoned!... Oof is all I gotta say. Mettaton: Spinel was heartbroken, filled with despair by the fact that she was left to rot in the far reaches of space while her only friend casted her aside and started a new life without her. Soon, this grief would transform into hatred and revenge. She wasn't going to take this and so, her appearance changed from a loveable cutie to an emo bubblegum gremlin. One that makes Nathaniel's blood cells travel to his- UL: ONE MORE CRACK LIKE THAT AND I WILL TELL EVERYBODY ABOUT WHAT YOU AND THAT GAY SPIDER DO ON WEEKENDS! Mettaton: ...How did you kno- UL: Anyways, not taking this sitting down, Spinel raided Pink's armory and found a few nifty trinkets to help her exact her revenge on this so-called Steven where she would revert The Crystal Gems back to their original state while also injecting the Earth with a toxin known as 'Bio-poison' so that Steven would be doomed to walk on a desolate earth... Damn, now that's a wicked hate boner if you ask me. Mettaton: However, against all possible odds, Steven managed to convince Spinel to stop all this madness as she soon realized that causing all of this chaos would do nothing to fix what has already been broken. Luckily for Spinel, she was able to find a new loving home and family under the care of the Diamonds. UL: Oh yeah, just let the emotionally abused villain live with a group of even worse villains with a mile long record of abu- Mettaton: Nathaniel... UL: ...Sorry.

Mettaton: Let's move on before this devolves into an hour-long rant log...

-Can easily shatter stone with her fists alone-Launched Steven high above the clouds -Enlarges her fist until it's so heavy that it pushes back nearby clouds-Punches Steven into her injector with enough force to push it into the ground, creating a sizeable crater on top forcing up bio-toxins, creating a dust cloud and shaking the ground

-Struck Steven's shield with enough force to fracture the giant gem on top of the interjector

Speed & Reflexes:

(Relativistic, Possibly Higher)

-Was able to outpace and blitz The Crystal Gems

-This would include Pearl, who was able to successfully steer The Roaming Eye through an asteroid belt

-Gems don't need sustenance or rest to survive, but can still partake if they wish-The weight of a gem will automatically adjust to any form of gravity

-Can fuse with other Gems into stronger forms

--Doing so would be considered outside help, however-Era-1 Gems are capable of shape-shifting

-A common ability for Era

Mindset:

-When she was first created, she was happy-go-lucky and very playful, albeit a little clingy

-After her abandonment and the realization of Steven, she became bitter and held a grudge against anything connected to Pink

--This is best shown when Spinel reset the minds of Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl, feeling as though they got in the way between her and Pink-Surprisingly tactical and cunning as she used her interjector to slowly kill the earth after having reset the Crystal Gems

-Somewhat trusting, willing to give Steven a chance and stop her interjector from destroying the earth

-However, she resumed her plans and relapsed into insanity due to a misunderstanding, going so far as to nearly killing Steven

-However, when Steven finally gets to her, she shows genuine remorse for hurting him and causing all of this chaos-Understand she will have difficulty creating friendships after what Pink Diamond put her through and all the chaos she had caused

-Was more than willing to start a new life with the Diamonds on Homeworld-After returning to Homeworld, Spinel became her happy/fun-loving self once albeit less clingy than she was before

Equipment:

The Gem Rejuvenator:

-Spinel's Main Weapon

-A Scythe-like weapon used for slicing

-When used on a Gem, it will poof them back into their gemstone

-It will erase said gem of all their memories and revert them back to their original form

-Able to cut through Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl as well as Steven's shield

-Non-effective on any and all non-gems

-According to Peridot, the machine would destroy the Earth in 41 Hours (1 Day, 17 Hours)

-If any organic life comes into contact with the poison, it will paralyze them-Spinel can control the interjector through a horn she creates via her elasticity

-If the machine is disturbed or damaged, the injection rate accelerates-She can either activate, deactivate, or increase the speed of the poison

--However, the latter results in the poison unable to properly settle and destroy the planet, rendering it useless

-If the Gem Interjector sustains too much damage, it explodes

Weaknesses:

-If her physical form retains too much damage, she'll revert back to her Gemstone in order to regenerate

--This makes her gemstone vulnerable to shattering-If her Gemstone is cracked, her body will become weaker and start glitching/deforming

-Emotionally & Mentally Unstable

--Resumed her plans of destroying the world due to a misunderstanding

---However, she has grown more stable as shown in Steven Universe Future-The Gem Rejuvenator is downright useless against any non-gems

”I used to be just not good enough! Just not good enough for Pink! But now... Now... I'M NOT GOOD AT ALL!”

https://www.deviantart.com/thebiovendingmachine/art/Jack-pulls-a-wicked-prank-on-DEATH-BATTLE-813705061

Mettaton: Pranks are something that we love to pull on people, however, one should be aware that you must have a limit otherwise it may result in dire consequences...

UL: Trust me, I've seen all those Prank Channels, they never learn. But before we had douchebags sexually assailing randos on the street for a small bit of clout, let's go back way before the internet to a quiet medieval village known as Endsville where we begin our story with a man by the name of Jack.

Mettaton: Jack was a notorious prankster, known for pulling various pranks on the villagers. Now, this all seemed fine but the problem was that Jack didn't know when to quit as kept pulling nonstop pranks on the people of Endsville. Jack even stayed up all night inventing new pranks, laughing himself to sleep.

UL: All of these practical jokes were getting so bad that the townsfolk had enough of Jack's bullshit and devised a plan to get rid of him for good. Thus, they sent a gift with Jack's name on it to the Queen of Endsville, who had no sense of humor, who had fallen victim to a snake-in-a-can prank. Greatly angered by this, the Queen sent out one of her knights to take care of Jack and in doing so, murdered him in his sleep... Damn, talk about pranks gone wrong.

Mettaton: After the night of his demise, Jack met with the Grim Reaper and it was time for him to go. However, Jack simply slammed the door and his face continued on his day. When Grim tried to force him into submitting, Jack stole the Reaper's scythe and said that he will only give it back if Grim gave him immortality so that he could continue pulling pranks on people for all eternity.

UL: Reluctantly, Grim accepted the offer and gave Jack immortality. However, Grim wasn't going to let this slide and as punishment for tricking him, he decapitated Jack so that he wouldn't show his face around town ever again. Honestly, Jack simply had to say 'It's just a prank, bro' and he would've turned out alright.

Mettaton: After his decapitation, Jack replaced his head with a pumpkin and was forced to hide in his cottage for the rest of his life while the world changed around him. Only coming out on Halloween Night to pull pranks on suspecting victims.

UL: That was until one faithful Halloween Night, a dim-witted boy named Billy showed up at Jack's doorstep with the Grim Reaper's scythe in hand. Seeing this as his opportunity to get revenge, Jack stole the scythe and opened a portal to the underworld where he would wreak havoc among Endsville and finally get his revenge on Grim by cutting his head off.

Mettaton: Well, that would've been the case hadn't it been for the power of laughter... We mean that literally, his army of pumpkins laughed themselves to death while Jack laughed his way into the underworld...
