Chapter 17: The Demon Boy Tom: Confession
(Gonna do a little retcon here. I'm changing William's name to Fen from here on out, because my name's actually William, and I don't want people getting the wrong idea, especially with the stuff she did. Also Fen sounds cooler. Oh, and I'm changing his red barrier to magenta, forgot that was the color of his soul.)
(UnusualSamurai, it's time...)
(Fen's Room)
(Fen)"C'mon....c'mon!"
Fen was currently trying the duplication spell, attempting to make a copy of himself. This took a lot of concentration and magic focusing, but all he could make was a dull-colored boneless doppelganger.
(Ragnarok)"Ha! You suck ass at this!"
(Fen)"Oh, hush up! I'm still practicing, and all this new magic I got from that fight with Zote isn't helping me focus!"
He took out a mirror, looking at the new color of his eyes. Whenever he tried to use either his Oozai Magic, or his Witch Magic, they would change color. At this point, more complex spells tend to make his overall magic even more difficult to focus.
(Fen)"Every time I use magic now, they change to this, too. It kinda messes up my vision for a few seconds."
(Ragnarok)"Hm...it's none of my business, but I think you somehow got Medusa's magic. Like, all of it."
(Fen)"What? There's no way."
(Ragnarok)"How come?"
(Fen)"The only way that I'd get all of her magic, as well as abilities, is if I absorb her soul. And I was too young to do that."
(Ragnarok)"Well couldn't have someone done it for you?"
(Fen)"...Well, that's possible, but-"
(Ragnarok)"Hey! There's a Demon outside! Look out the window!"
He did so, and there was a boy with two horn and three eyes at the door, talking to Star.
(Fen)"Who's that guy?"
(Ragnarok)"No clue."
He opened the window just enough to hear what they were saying.
(???)"Hey, Star. I'm here to take you... *Creates a flaming crescent moon in his hand*...to the Blood Moon Ball."
(Star)"...."
She immediately began pushing the Demon back to his carriage, pulled by a skeleton horse.
(Star)"Nope-nope-nope-nope-nope. You need to leave right now. Take your carriage and fire and dead horse, and go back to the underworld!"
(Horse)"Wait, I'm dead?"
(???)"Oh c'mon, Starship! It's the Blood Moon Ball! It only happens once every 667 years!"
(Question to any Svtfoe fans? How old is Tom supposed to be? This quote makes me wonder.)
(Star)"We broke up, remember?! We're done!"
(???)"Wait, wait, wait, wait! Star, hang on! I'm a changed man, okay? I've got a life coach, Brian..."
(Brian)"Hey."
(???)"He's awesome. A happy bunny. And, and I have been anger-free for 53 days!"
He showed her a pin on his shirt that said just that.
(Star)"Oh...53?"
(???)"And, do you at least wanna pet my bunny?"
(Star)"...Well, he is adorable."
She was just about to pet the pink rabbit, but Fen suddenly jumped out the window, walking towards the two with a limp.
(Fen)"H-Hey, guys! What's going on over here??"
(Star)"Fen? Uh, this is...Tom. My ex-boyfriend."
(Tom)*Getting angry* "Star...who. Is. THAT?"
(Star)"He's...uh...oh! This, is Fen...my NEW boyfriend! *Wraps both arms around his left*"
(Fen/Ragnarok)"HUH??!"
(Tom)*Eyes glowing red* "WHAT?!"
Brian goes up to Tom and walks him around in circles, as the boy's head stays fixated on the Oozai like an owl.
(Brian)"It's okay, buddy. Just walk it out and talk it out. Walk it out and talk it out. Walk it out..."
(Fen)*Both whispering* "Star...the heck are you doing?!"
(Star)"It's just pretend, don't worry!"
(Star)"What's the matter, Tom? Getting angry?"
(Tom)"Oh! N-No, that's why I got my support system, I'm good! Got the angries out! Everything is...whew! Under control...! So, you're Star's...b-boyfriend??"
(Fen)"U-Uh, yeah! Pretty much, Oozai Prince and stuff, that's me. So, you wanted to take my...girlfriend, to some Ball thing?"
(Tom)"Well, not if it isn't okay with you!"
(Fen)"It's not exactly the kind of thing you'd expect. But...maybe if I can come, too. Y'know, just to make sure nothing gets outta hand? And if she's okay with it!"
(Star)"It's cool, we could all go together!"
(Tom)"Great, great! Then, when you two are ready, ring this bell! *Hands Star a black bell and hammer*"
(Horse)"Why didn't you tell me I'm dead?"
(Tom)"See you guy tonight, then!"
He and Brian got back in the carriage, and left in a pillar of flame.
(Fen)"...What did you just do!? We aren't actually dating, we just live in the same house!"
(Star)"Relax! I just wanna make Tom a little jealous so he doesn't bother me anymore. We'll just go to the party, act like a couple for a few hours, and go home and pretend it never happened. Simple as that!"
(Fen)"Ok, but I don't like lying to people..."
(Later...)
Fen stood in front of the mirror in his room, trying to see if his outfit looked even a little decent.
(Just Giorno's outfit (blue) with heart broaches cause I can't think of anything. He's basically him but not a mafia boss, and doesn't drink piss.)
(Fen)"How does this look, Rag?"
(Ragnarok)"You're showing off your man tits? A little gay if you ask me!"
(Fen)"It has a heart shape! I just liked it!"
(Ragnarok)"Sure, I'll buy that. But I was thinking, that Tom guy gave me a weird feeling. I think he's up to something nasty!"
(Fen)"What do you mean?"
(Ragnarok)"Dude, he invited that girl, the one YOU like, to a prom! I've been asleep for nearly a thousand years, but I remember those being romantic events! He'll try and steal her heart away from your ass!"
(Fen)"What? No way, Star clearly said they broke up years ago!"
(Ragnarok)"Those feelings can come back in the right circumstances!"
(Fen)"Listen, Ragnarok. I've known Star for half a year, now. She wouldn't end up falling in love with someone she hates."
(Ragnarok)"Whatever, just keep an eye on that triclops!"
(Star)"Yo Fen! You ready yet?"
(Fen)"Yeah! Don't worry, Rag. I'll put a stop to any funny business."
The Oozai went to Star's room, a little amused by her dress having more hearts than his outfit.
(Star)"What do you think?"
(Fen)"Hehe, we kinda match with the heart theme! That'll really mess with that guy!"
(Star)"I thought you didn't wanna lie about us being an item."
(Fen)"Hey, it's just for the night. So why not play along, right?"
(Star)"That's what I wanna hear! Alright, time to party!"
She rung the bell, and this giant elevator pulled by a winged Demon appeared outside.
(Demon)"Which floor, mortals?"
(Star)"Uh, the bottom?"
(Fen)"Huh, who knew the underworld had such...unique modes of transportation?"
The elevator doors close, and lowers into a pillar of fire. Cut to the underworld, where a skeleton secures a metal cuff around his neck and makes a restrained pose. A green-skinned Demon with a red hood was about to strike him with a spiked mace, just as Tom showed up to stop the immediate double-death.
(Tom)"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Guys, I don't know what you're about to do, but I want to keep things low-key for Star and that other guy!"
(???)"Ugh, fine! You want to turn the Blood Moon Ball into a greeting card holiday? Go ahead!"
(Tom)"Wait. Which one of you said that?"
(???)"Me."
(Tom)"No! Okay. Whoever was talking, just raise your hand."
(Demon)"Master Tom, Princess Butterfly, and Prince Fen has arrived."
(Tom)"Ugh, don't remind me of him!"
The elevator opened, and the "couple" stepped out.
(Tom)"There you two are! You both look great, hehe..."
(Fen)"Nice little party going on it seems. That reminds me, hey Rag. You're a Demon too, right? Did you come from this place?"
(Ragnarok)"No, these Demons look like cartoon characters! A real Demon would be going around, gettin' as many souls as they can, hehe! I remember the good old days when I killed beast twenty times my size!"
(Fen)"...A little morbid, but ok."
(Ragnarok)"Yo, Triclops! Got any snacks around here?!"
(Tom)"Uh, yeah. Over by the tables."
(Ragnarok)"Hell yeah, I'm starved!"
Since Ragnarok is mostly comprised of Black Blood now, he can control Fen's muscle movements, which allowed him to make a b-line for the snack table against the Oozai-Witch's will.
(Fen)"W-Wait, Rag! I'm supposed to- Star, I'll catch up with you later!"
(Some time later...)
(Fen)"Ragnarok, I'm supposed to be with Star right now! You've been stuffing your face for nearly an hour!"
(Doesn't look like it, but he does indeed have a mouth.)
(Ragnarok)"Not like you'll do much, she's practically dying of boredom over there!"
(Not writing what happens here in the episode, cause this is getting pretty long as is.)
(Fen)"Yeah, but I'm starting to get a weird feeling, something's not right..."
A little green Demon approached the boy, with the expression of extreme frustration.
(Demon)"So you're Tom's guest."
(Fen)"Yeah, is something up?"
(Demon)"As a matter of fact there is. He insistently believed that you wouldn't show up, so he's gone and ruined the Ball!"
(Fen)"What do you mean? It seems to be going well."
(Demon)"Oh, really? *Points to two dating demons* Aloof attractive people? Boring! *Emerges from the punch bowl?* Bubbling cauldrons that don't even melt your flesh off? What is it, nap time or something? 'Cause I'm bored! *Points to an empty can on the ground* Piece of garbage that doesn't destroy the universe? And a stupid cockroach that lives inside?! I'm over it already!!! * Begins sobbing, and runs away*"
(Fen)"....Ok."
(Another Demon)"Ahem, good evening, ladies and gentlebremen! It is my pleasure that I request you now to turn your heads skyward."
(Fen/Ragnarok)"Eh?"
They looked up to see a crimson moon.
(Demon)"When the light of the blood moon drubbles down and selects two lucky souls, binding them together for eternity in its hypnotic, ruby brodum...!"
(Fen)"WHAT!?!"
(Ragnarok)"If Triclops and Blondy get under that light, then... You'll be eternally cucked, boy!"
(Fen)"Sh-Shut up! D-Damn, I've waited too long! This is it, I gotta tell Star how I feel right here, and right now! But, where is she?"
(Ragnarok)"...Huh? She's over there! In the corner, but Triclops ain't near her."
(Fen)"I'd wonder why, but now's not the time! It's now or never!"
He ran passed, shoved away, and even jumped over multiple dancing couples just to reach the Mewman, breathing heavily when he was trying to speak.
(Fen)"Hey...sorry to keep you waiting! Wanna...d-dance??? Hoo boy...!"
Fen thought to himself, whilst using healing magic on his body, "Thank God healing magic replenishes stamina!"
(Star)"Really, you wanna stick around? Tom already ran off, we could just dip right now."
(Fen)"No...this is important. I gotta tell you something real important...!"
(Star)"And, we have to dance for you to tell me-"
(Fen)*Pulls her to the middle of the room* "Gotta set the mood!"
(I know I use asterisks a lot, but I don't want to have to write down each individual action as its own paragraph.)
/(♪)\
They both danced the waltz incredibly well, almost as if they've been through this before. Some of the Demons turned their attention to them, although neither Star nor Fen could notice. As they dance Fen starred deep into the Mewman's blue eyes. They did look a bit strange together, since the Prince was two feet taller than the Princess.
(Star)"Wow, you're a pretty good dancer."
(Fen)"Thank you, I've had years of practice, hehe..."
(Star)"So what did you wanna tell me?"
(Fen)"Right, that....ok, here I go. Star, we've known each other for nearly six months now, and I've been feeling a certain type of way ever since. Something I've never felt with anyone else."
(Everything you've seen up until now happened all within six months, cause why not?)
(Star)"Like, what?"
(Fen)"I'm not sure how to properly describe it, I just feel...at ease when I'm around you. And my head feels all, fuzzy when I even say your name, and it's driving me nuts!"
(Star)"W-Wait a sec. Are you trying to say...?"
At the moment, the "Blood Moon" turned the whole room red, and the brightest pillar was right underneath our two protagonist.
(Fen)"Star Butterfly, I'm in love with you."
(Star)"...Well it took you long enough!"
(Fen)"H-Huh?? What do you mean?!"
(Star)"Fen, I'm not stupid. I can read most people like a freaking book! It was obvious that there was something the day you saw me, I just wanted you to say it yourself."
(Fen)"Really, it was that obvious?"
(Star)"Yep, and hey. I think you're pretty great, too."
(Fen)"You do?"
(Star)"Uh huh, you're a huge goofball, you try and help people, and you're walking a fine line between nice guy to a complete psychopath...I like that."
(Fen)"So, are you saying...yes?/ Please tell me that's what you're saying!"
(Star)"...Yeah. Might as well, since we feel the same way."
(Fen)"Really?!"
(Star)"That's what I said, we're a thing now!"
(Fen)"Oh....oh nox hi, Rah!"
Without warning, Fen pulled the girl in for a kiss, causing the other Demons to cheer for the new couple, destined to be together forever by the crimson rock in the sky. A Vampire, unseen by all observes from the background, ripping up a picture of Star before disappearing.
(Star)"Wh-Whoa! That, just happened!"
(Fen)"Sorry, just needed to get that off my chest..."
(Tom)"Well, well, well... Had a feeling this would happen."
(Fen)"Tom, you're ba- Wait....your eyes, they're...pink."
(Tom)"That's right, Fen. Gohma has opened my eyes to the bigger picture! You've stolen Star's soul from me, so now I'm gonna steal yours!"
The Demon boy summoned a huge battle-axe, and suddenly fired a ball of scarlet flame at Star, flinging her into a wall. Her skin was burned on her shoulder and arm, and immediately fell unconscious from the impact!
(Fen)"Star!! Dammit, I knew something was up! Rag, transform!"
With the Demon Sword in hand, Fen went on the offense. He blocked Tom's axe with his hand, which was fairly okay due to the Black Blood hardening. And in that instant, some of it shot out from his palm.
It hit the Demon's wrist, temporarily severing his right hand. And the reason I said temporarily, is because his hand reattached itself via little spirits from both stumps.
(Ragnarok)"Guess these wannabe Demons can take what I dish out, we just gotta hit him harder!"
Tom swung the axe once more, clashing with the dark blade. And suddenly, it transformed into swarm of wasps, turning on their owner.
(I assume that Gold Experience could turn a single object into multiple creatures.)
The Demon sent another ball of fire at the swarm, only for the damage to return and give his body first degree burns. Then to put salt in the wound, the wasps stung him before reverting back into a pile of metal and wood.
(Tom)"...I heard of the Oozai being a force to be reckoned with, especially that giant one hundreds of years ago. And I've seen that the rumors were true!"
(Fen)"Tom, I don't really know you too well, but I'll make Gohma pay for what he did to you!"
He summoned his own Oozai Cannon and fired, missing Tom by a hair as the Demon launched himself in the air via fire coming from his feet. Tom propelled himself with said fire, ramming his fist into Fen's gut.
(Tom)"This is it, time to die, Fen Zai!"
(Anyone Gohma controls instantly knows what he's after, and knows Fen's full name.)
He sent a massive spiral of fire at the Oozai, who was just about to create a barrier. But suddenly, the tattoos on his arms sprang to life and flew towards the attack! They hissed as their heads became realistic, and swallowed the flame.
Ink Form:
Life-like Form:
(Fen)"What the- What are those!?"
(Ragnarok)"They're one of Medusa's older creations, some kinda living spell or something! She used them to beat me amd Erik!"
(Fen)"Huh, guess they can come off my skin and move! Alright, now it's time to end this, Vector Arrow!"
Four black arrows came out his back and wrapped around Tom, pulling him towards Fen, who delivered a flurry of strikes.
(Fen)"Brahnu brahnu brahnu brahnu brahnu brahnu, BRAHNU!!! "
With the final blow, he sent Tom flying through the ceiling, surely knocking him unconscious.
(Fen)"Vonok...!"
(Demon)"Whoa...that was, badass! That's exactly whtbthe snooze fest needed, some freaking action!!!"
(Fen)"Hm, I hope he won't be too mad about all this."
(Brian)"So...did all that count as him being angry?"
(Fen)"I think so, yeah."
