Issue 50: It's Your Fuckin' Nightmare
"Who the fuck are you and where the fuck am I!?" I shouted at the girl. I tried to get up before shackles appeared around my wrists and ankles. They weren't there before and the girl smiled.
"Have you really forgotten me already? I thought our first encounter would be pretty memorable, considering I turned you into a demonic death machine." The girl said. "But, you can call me Nightmare, sweetie. Which ironically enough, you happen to currently be in."
"And why the fuck am I here exactly!?"
"How much do you exactly remember?" Nightmare asked pouring herself a glass of wine. I thought about it for a moment.
"I was on a trip... Winter was there... she had been acting weird and started a fight with Paris... that's when you showed up! And you tried to kill Winter!" I said trying to get up from my restraints again.
"You know for someone who periodically threatened to murder her yourself, you get awfully upset when someone else threatens to kill her. Maybe you just want to kill her yourself. I mean it's understandable since Winter dragged you into all of this in the first place."
"How did she-?"
"Finish remembering." She ordered before the spotlight went out. I was left sitting in the dark but I knew she was there.
"You tried to kill her... but I stopped you. And then I was about to kill you when I saw... Adrian." I said through gritted teeth.
"And stop!" Nightmare said before the spotlight came back. The table was gone and Nightmare was now sitting on my lap and instead of chains and shackles I was taped to the chair. "Let me catch you up to speed from there..." She said before clapping twice causing a... puppet theatre to appear in front of us. Once Upon a Time there was a brother and sister made out of evil incarnate. They were Nightmare and her much more powerful, much more scarier brother: Paralysis. They were ruled over and controlled by a girl named Lucifer, cousin to Dead Bite: The Daughter of Death. A few decades ago, the three and Lucifer's other servant Alciel tried to take over the world and put it through utter chaos." As she spoke little puppets began to walk out of the stage and act out everything she said. Currently on the stage there was one that resembled her, one of what looked like a stereotypical dark mage with red hair, a girl in a black dress with giant devil wings coming out from behind her, and a guy with blonde dirty blonde hair in what looked like a demonic straight jacket. One of his eyes bulged out and a detailed creepy smile appeared on his face. "However... they were all stopped by a bunch of lousy 'super heroes' and The Holy Knights, ancient angel like warriors that specialize in killing people like Nightmare... or more importantly Paralysis. Paralysis had his eye stabbed out and was murdered by one of the Knights named Karen Hailstorm. Meanwhile the heroes were able to send the other three back to Hell. But that didn't stop the three from plotting to try again once more. But they still desperately needed Paralysis for their plan to work... and that's where you come in." She said before the puppet theatre burned up and was replaced with a mirror pointing at me and her.
"Just get to the fucking point!" I could sense her roll her eyes behind her little mask.
"You're no fun." She stated. "The point is that sword you killed Adrian with? That sword was the same one that killed my brother all those years ago. It was under a spell Alciel put on it to let Paralysis's soul escape and enter your body, where he was supposed to take over." She said as in the mirror I turned into the guy who was the puppet and I lost vision in one of my eyes. "In fact, it did." She said before the mirror started swirling and a vision started playing.
"What the fuck..." I muttered as I saw a demonic version of me kill multiple people and turn them into a blood tornado. "I couldn't've-"
"But something went wrong." Nightmare interrupted me. "I don't understand what the fuck that bitch did..." she said as Winter hugged me and I went back to normal. "But she found a way to get you to somehow fight my brother off." She said before the mirror disappeared and she grabbed my head so I looked straight in her eyes. "You shouldn't be here right now. You should be in whatever hell my brother was in all those years." She said before the lights went out again. "But you see I'm not mad. I've been watching you the past few weeks as you and Winter bonded and I must say I am intrigued. And thankfully for you Lucifer let me call an audible, where one of two things is going to happen. You're going to give in and let Paralysis take over forever, orrrrrr-" the lights came back on and I was dancing with Nightmare on a dance floor. "You find out about Stockholm Syndrome. I trap you in your own mind until you snap and fall for me and do my every bidding. However you could still easily reverse the roles once you become a psycho killing machine because I won't lie-" she said leaning into my ear. "I'm a bit of a masochist." She looked the side of my face slowly before I spat in her's. To my surprise she grinned like a freak. "That's what I'm talking about!"
"You're delusional! There's absolutely no way in hell I'd ever help you kill innocent people!"
"What about people who aren't innocent? I mean think about all the people I reminded you of when you went all nutso back there?" She said before my foot bumped into something. I looked at the ground and- "Like Carmen?" she said as I saw Carmen's rotting corpse on the ground. Her skin was gray with dry blood around her mouth. Nightmare and I spun around and I hit someone else. "Freedom Fighter? Hell, if you just give in, we'll be powerful enough to even kill your least favorite media whore..." She said before I unwillingly dipped her next to the corpse of Captain Amazo.
"You can't tempt me! I'm stronger than you think!" I said. Nightmare and I stopped dancing and she frowned at me.
"Don't you get it? I know exactly how strong you are. That's what's going to make it fun." She said. The hue of the room started to get redder and redder as she started twitching. "I want to sEE WHAT IT'S LIKE TO-" She started growing multiple faces and shaking all around. "BRING THE STRONGEST WILLED MAN TO LUNACY!" She said before it felt like I was flying over 200 miles an hour in the opposite direction of Nightmare and slamming hard on a metal slab before restraints once more appeared, this time with spikes impaling my midsection and arms. "I'M GOING TO ENJOY BREAKING YOU DOWN BIT BY BIT UNTIL YOU GIVE ME WHAT I WANT!" She appeared next to me with extremely smiley claws, piercing my neck. "YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE ME MY BROTHER BACK!" She said before her jaw unhinged and a one eyed shadow jumped out of her and into me. "OR YOU'RE GOING TO REPLACE HIM AND TOGETHER WE'LL GET BACK AT THOSE BASTARDS WHO KILLED HIM AND ALL OF THEIR LOVED ONES TOO!" I was now in a morgue surrounded by dead bodies in flicker red lights. "THOSE HOLY KNIGHTS AND THOSE PIECES OF SHIT CRIME BUSTER, AMAZO, FREEDOM FIGHTER-" Each corpse's head spun around to look at me, but none was more chilling than the last one. "AND ANONYMOUS! AND LETS NOT FORGET THEIR REPLACEMENTS, TOO!" She said before I felt something crawl up my body. I looked down and saw zombie versions Hayley, Paris, and Marie all crawling up my body looking like they were ready to rip me limb from limb. "AND ON THE WAY WE'LL TAKE CARE OF EVERYONE YOU CARED FOR IN THIS LIFE, TOO!" She said before my mom, Winter, C-1, and Tori all dropped down from the ceiling on metal hooks, screaming in agony. "AND THEN WITH LUCIFER WE WILL-"
"Okay I'm bored of playing along." I said. Nightmare looked at me with visible confusion as I stopped pretending to be scared of the horror show around me. "So you're some sort of hellspawn who was in a possible incestuous and abusive relationship with your brother. You answer to a higher power named Lucifer, however you gave me power that could possibly defeat her by merging me with your undead brother's soul. You somehow trusted Winter to pull off this scheme and then even more surprisingly you idiots were outplayed by her instead. Either that or you weren't counting on some kid from Meteor to be mentally strong enough to fight for his morals despite literally having to fight his inner demons. You can enter my mind and warp the reality inside however you not only can't kill me because you need me for your little plan to destroy the earth to work but you also probably can't kill me in here, considering I should've been a red stain on this bed before the straps even showed up. Is there anything I'm missing?" The room went to normal and all the bodies disappeared.
"...How incredibly turned on I am right now?"
"No I think I got that. And you might get turned on a little more. You said you were a masochist, right?"
"I-" She was cut off by me destroying the slab with an energy burst before grabbing her by the throat.
"Listen here and listen good: you can try all the little fancy tricks you want but you cannot break me. You will not break me. And when I get out of here I will stop you and everyone in your little group. And I'll make sure you all pay for crossing paths with me." I let go of her and she dropped to one knee coughing for a little bit before jumping up and kissing me. I immediately pushed her off and punched her in the face.
"Oh, we're going to have a lot of fun..." She said with a creepy smile. "I guess it'll have to wait for next time, though."
"What do you mean-" I began to say before I got strapped into a horror themed rollercoaster. For some reason there was another dead person next to me. He looked really familiar.
"I guess you should be going now! Remembertodropouteatpeopledoheroineandtoalwaysbefamousneverbeanonymous!... Oh... and don't abandon her." Nightmare said before she pulled a lever and I shot up an imaginary track up into the sky.
"See Ya!"
