Hello again! So a new chapter AND a new story. Ain't I doing well tonight? So this one came as a result of a chance encounter with a
youtube video, you know the one! Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog! Give it a shot and lemme know what you think!
Reviews are love!
Oh, before I forget, I own nothing.
It had been five years. Five very long, but at the same time incredibly short, years. Five years since Penny had died. The Doc was still mourning her, I doubted he'd ever truly stop.
See the day she died he had been triumphant finally in his attempts to get into The Evil League of Evil. It had been his last chance to get in and Bad Horse wanted him to commit murder. Terrified but determined all the same the Doc knew what he had to do; kill Captain Hammer. I had to admit, it killed two birds with one stone. So he planned every detail, right down to how long his laugh would last and what he would whisper to Captain Hammer's frozen in time body. There he was, stood beneath the red cloth that was supposed to be covering a statue commemorating Hammer, his freeze ray and death ray at the ready and at just the right moment, he threw it off and pressed the trigger. He gave his speech and prepared to pull the trigger of the Death Ray. That's when it all went wrong, the Freeze Ray began to power down and in his confusion at the machine he looked back only to be caught off-guard with a punch to the jaw from Hammer. He went flying through the air and so did his death ray. When they landed both slid along the floor a little before coming to a stop. He couldn't even grab his death ray to end it because he had landed a few feet behind it and Captain Hammer had jumped off the stage right in front of it.
"What's this? A Death Ray?" He mused, "Doctor Horrible's going up in the world."
I couldn't even help him because it would ruin his chances of getting into the league if I helped, although his chances were seeming pretty slim right now.
Hammer aimed the machine at Doc and grinned but Doc tried to warn him.
"Don't~" was all he got out before Hammer interupted him.
"I don't have time for your warnings! Give my regards to Saint Peter, or whoever does his job but in Hell." Then he fired.
But it backfired and exploded, throwing Hammer backwards and pieces of the machine flew every which way.
I vaguely heard him whining about being in pain but my eyes were transfixed on another scene and when Doc looked over at me and saw my face he turned to look too.
Penny. Penny had a part of the Death Ray deep in her gut and the blood was just spilling out. All things were lost to him, no one was around and nothing else mattered as he landed at Penny's side. He needed her to hold on but that wasn't possible. I think even he knew she was going to die, no one could sustain so much blood loss and god only knows what that jagged piece of metal had severed on it's journey into her gut. Her last words to him were what killed him "Don't worry, Captain Hammer will save us." and then her eyes fluttered shut, not to open again. She was gone.
Then reporters flocked the scene, they were asking him questions but he had emotionally shut down. He did hear one reporter though, this man's question broke through his mental barriers
"Dr Horrible, why did you kill her?"
