Shattered

He was there.
He didn't know why, but he was there.
The ceremony.
He was there again.
It seems like lately that's the only place he's ever truly been.
He never feels when he's awake.
Only in sleep does anything affect him.
Even then, it's just one person.
Penny.
Not even Captain Hammer, with his smugness and roguish attitude, could get an emotion out of him the way she could.
Huh?
It was different.
This time, he felt like he could stop it.
He needed to stop it now.
He had to stop it now.
He had stopped it.
He gave him up.
He gave it up.
Penny lives.
Billy lives.
He is no longer shattered.
She was not dead.
He saved her.
Save her.
Awaken.
Doc woke up in a cold sweat. He had an idea. He was going to do something either incredibly smart, or incredibly stupid. He then decided it was both. He needed to make a blueprint, find supplies, and find a way to stop the life that had happened. Stop Doctor Horrible. He didn't want the life anymore, after two weeks of enjoying the life, he found it unsatisfying. He needed to get away. He needed to go back. He needed Penny. He needed to save Penny. There was only one person he could trust to help him. Moist. He contacted his henchman and told him to meet up as soon as possible. Today, he was no longer going to follow Doctor Horrible. He was, now and forever, going to be Billy. Moist had arrived and he told him the items he needed. Billy knew there was one part that only he could get. Hopefully he could act the part. He needed to pretend to be Doctor Horrible. He had to show a layer of himself that no longer existed, like the filling in most pies. He walked out of his room at the ELE headquarters and straight into Dead Bowie's path.
"Ah, Doctor."
"Bowie. I need a supply that you have."
"What, my special sequins, the disco ball of doom?"
"Your Garesium."
"Ah, I see, well, I don't just lend that out to anybody."
"Trust me, if you lend it to me now, later you wouldn't have."
"Ah, I see." Dead Bowie worked out what he was making. "So, who are you going to kill?"
"Oh, I'm keeping that top secret, don't want anyone stealing my kill." Billy the Doctor told him.
"Ah, you are as smart as your PhD suggests." Dead Bowie commented.
"Of course."
"In that case, I shall have it delivered to you within the hour."
"Thank you."
"Don't worry about it, I'll have done nothing soon enough."
True to his word, the Garesium arrived just in time for Moist to come with the other supplies. Billy started working on the machine. He worked for hours when he found himself getting hungry. The ELE had food in the dining area, but nothing that interested him. He walked out, making sure to take a few bucks that the Doctor stole. He put on his blue hoodie jacket, the sign to the other ELE members that he was going inconspicuous. He arrived at the place after a few minutes of walking. He ordered his food and then walked some more. He took his first bite of frozen yogurt since the incident and was amazed at how much her memory could make him like something that otherwise would be just another throwaway food for somebody else, but no. Now frozen yogurt was his food, and if everything worked, it would be their food.
He stopped walking. He had passed it. He went back a few buildings. Closed. Of course it was. Everything on this side of town was closed. He had to order the food from the side that they couldn't stop. Johnny Snow was actually powerful, but Billy didn't care about that anymore. He walked away from the Laundromat and started to head back to the headquarters.
He was almost done. It was day five on building the machine, because he still had to go out and do villainy to keep up appearances, and he just needed the final three connections. Red to blue, Green to Yellow, and Black to White. He was done. The final machine was complete, but what to call it. He would think of that later, now he just needed Moist to do one last thing. He got him to follow him as he left for the closed building.
"Doc, what's going on?"
"Moist, goodbye."
"Doc, what?"
"I'm not the Doctor!" Billy snapped. "Not anymore."
"Bi-Billy?" Moist asked.
"Yep."
"What do you need me to do?"
"Fire this at me." He threw him the machine. It was another ray.
"What?!" Moist was shocked.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine, if everything works right."
"Wait, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to do it." Billy said. Moist looked confused. "Save her."
"What? So, this is a?"
"Time Ray. I need you to set the date for the ceremony, at about noon. That'll give me plenty of time." Moist set the date.
"See you Moist."
"Bye." Moist fired. Billy closed his eyes before the beam hit. He always hated getting hit by rays, but this was to save Penny. He felt weird and when it went away he opened his eyes and looked around. It was a bright, sunny day. He turned around and looked inside. There she was. Sitting on the dryer, with two frozen yogur-
"Two, she had two." Billy said. "Now I can fix this." He headed inside.
Well, that was chapter one. What do you think so far, and how should this go from here, I have an idea, but sometimes suggestions make me think of better ways. So, review, please.
