A.N.: Finally, Outcast Town is back! I disclaim Gorillaz and the song. But Spikez and the demons are MINE!
When You're Evil
The singer's body went clanging down the spiral, deeper down. Until finally, his slim body went into the light, but he landed on something.
Something hard and metallic.
2D sat up with his eyes shut, and rubbed the back of his head in pain. He gazed around, and saw that he had stumbled into a type of dungeon, with dirty slowly floating around like fog around the light bulbs.
The place was so silent, it was almost eerie. A disturbing silence, one might say. After what seemed like an eternity, he heard a faint rattling. Chains rattling. The vocalist's head turned from left to right. He gulped, and with a trembling voice, he asked, "I-is someone....the'eh?"
At that moment, everything went silent again. The singer stayed looking forward, not saying a thing, not even daring to breath...until...
A loud clanging sound occurred, and he saw something like a silver snake go lunging at him. He shrieked (ironically, in a high-pitched voice), and raised his arm in a pitiful defense.
The silver snake tightly wrapped itself around his wrist and yanked downward, pulling his entire body down to the metallic table he was on. Only it wasn't a snake....it was a chain.
He stared at it bug-eyed, and with his mouth slightly hanging open while panting. And then, before he turn around, another chain wrapped itself extremely tightly around his wrist, and flung him down to the table as well, leaving him tied down by his wrists on the table. His arms were stretched out by his sides. The chains were hurting his wrists.
He looked around frantically. Who could have tied him down? And why? Sweat began dripping down the sides of his forehead. His mouth went dry with panic.
At that moment, in the darkness, he could see a pair of glowing yellow eyes looking at him. They were small, but they glowed brightly. He didn't make a sound. The singer did not want anything else to happen.
At that exact moment, another pair of eyes appeared right next to the originals. And then, like a child would draw on a blank sheet of paper, multiple eyes began glowing in front of 2D, dotting the darkness with little glowing dots, like stars in the sky.
A hissing sound rang throughout the dungeon, and numerous pairs of teeth bared angrily through the darkness. 2D gulped. He did not know where he was, or what was going on.
Until suddenly, the eyes and teeth revealed themselves. They were dozens of snakes, all hissing and slithering their slimy, forked tongues. They sprang out at 2D, and, from only inches away from his face, began licking his face hungrily.
"Bloody fuckin' 'ell...", said the singer aloud, in his misery, "I 'ate snakes..."
2D opened his eyes in bewilderment, and gazed around. The snakes suddenly began backing away, but still hissing menacingly and threateningly.
Again, everything grew quiet. 2D gazed around again. Nobody. Nothing. All was quiet. Taking advantage of this moment, he tugged on the chains. They simply rattled. He pulled again, this time, with great force. Again, they only rattled, hardly moving an inch.
This time, the singer yanked with all of his might. Again, no luck. He slammed his head back on the metallic table, breathing heavily with defeat. All his struggling for nothing. Nowhere. He was trapped. Trapped like a rat in a conveniently placed trap. No more. There was nothing left. He was probably left here to starve. He would die here.
That is, until suddenly, a massive rumble shook the place, which made him instantly forget his depression and victimization. Something had fallen from the roof. Or someone.
The creature that stood before him, was a hideous creature. He wore a type of mask or helmet made out of metal, designed with spikes and swirls on the edges, and on top, were the numerous snakes that tormented 2D only moments before. He had long, grotesque arms with bulging muscles on them, and his hands were massive with sharp, red claws. Wristbands with numerous little spikes on them, and leather knuckle gloves hung on his hands. He wore a type of apron, a green and black one, with a face painted on it. It had two evil-looking red eyes, and a mouth with sharp teeth on it, almost as if it had a jack-o-lantern design to it.
Boots with chains wrapped all around them were on his feet, and on his back, was his most awkward and frightening feature.
Eight, long and hairy spider legs poked out of his back. They twitched and moved slightly whilst he stood there, gazing ominously at the blue-haired man.
The snakes that served as his hair danced and slithered violently. His glowing red eyes shined eagerly. His revealed his sharp teeth with an evil grin.
2D stared at the creature with a horrified expression, eyes stuck on him with his mouth hanging open.
He took one thunderous step towards the singer, and then another. His fingers moved with excitement.
The singer, still hypnotized with fear, asked, "Wot...wot the' fuck are yeh'...?"
The bizarre outcast creature stood up, and said, "Who am I...? Who am I!?"
2D did not reply. He only stared at him. What else could he do?
The creature threw his head back, and let out a fiendish cackle. The laughter shook the place, and even managed to make the vocalist's ears hurt.
Suddenly, the creature looked at him menacingly, frowned, and replied, "I'll tell ya who I am..."
He lifted his colossal arm, and snapped his clawed fingers. All the dim lights immediately shut off.
Complete darkness. No one, nothing.
Suddenly, a spotlight shone on the giant creature, he now had a black top hat with a white lone in the middle of it on, and a cane with a silver knob at the top of it.
And then, another spotlight shone right next to him. His four devious little henchman, the demons, all held instruments, portraying his "live band".
Red held a steel-string guitar with blood stains on it, Yellow held a cello which was nearly twice his body size (he stood on a small, wooden stool) and had a skull with bull horns on top of it, Green held a rusty, steel violin, and White had a pair of drums strapped to his chest, along with a tambourine strapped to his boot, which whenever he tapped his foot, would jingle. The four all stood there, solemnly, with their eyes closed and no grinning or snickering. The four demons began playing their instruments very nicely.
With his head still down, the large oddity began singing:
"I'm the fly in your soup, I'm the pebble in your shoe, I'm the pea beneath your bed, I'm a bump on every head, I'm the peel on which you slip, I'm the pin in every hip, I'm the thorn in your side, makes you wiggle and writhe..."
At that moment, he removed his hat and tossed it away carefully, and he did the same with his cane. And then, the lights came on again, this time, brighter than before.
The next sight, however, was a hideous one indeed.
Multiple creatures, originally from Outcast Town, were in either in cages, tied up by their wrists hanging over pits of lava, had their heads on guillotines ready to be decapitated, or other horrible things. There was blood everywhere, on the floor, on the walls, or on the prisoners themselves.
The large creature singing was Spikez, a sadistic and wicked outcast who enjoyed capturing and harming anything innocent and pure.
The creature raised it's arms and sang,
"And it's so evil when you're evil..."
Using his spider legs, he grabbed 2D by the throat, and while strangling him, he sang,
"This is the life you see, the devil, tips his hat to me! I do it all because I'm evil...and I do it all for free..."
He let 2D go and dropped him onto the table once again. He smiled evilly and sang,
"Your life's the only pay I'll ever need!"
The four demons continued playing their number while Spikez, with an amazing leap, jumped over towards a lever and yanked it downwards. With that, a whole row of outcasts screaming and hanging by their wrists were slowly dipped into pits of lava, screaming in agony and horror. The singer watched in terror as he watched them get melted alive.
Then, Spikez let the lever go, and the ropes pulled again, revealing nothing but fleshy, bloody skeletons (of various shapes and sizes, and even creatures). Spikez put his mammoth-hands on his gargantuan waistline and laughed sinisterly.
He then leaped over to the cages, where there were numerous outcast children being held prisoners. He stared at the cage, and revealed his hideous smile of yellow, slimy, maggot-filled pointy teeth. He patted the cage, and continued his song,
"While there's children to make sad, while there's candy to be had, while there's pockets left to pick, while there's grannies left to trip down the stairs, I'll be the there, I'll be hiding in the shadows, it's a game I'm glad in it, cause there's one born every minute..."
He then jumped over to a red, circular button on the wall on the left. He looked back at the little outcast-boys and outcast-girls with tears in their eyes, and bared his disgusting teeth in an evil grin. He pressed it with his pointy nail, and all their cages lifted open. The children all looked at each other in amazement. But a whole row of shadowy, cat-like creatures with sharp teeth, and glowing red eyes, similar looking to black panthers, all jumped into each individual cage of the children. They were creatures whom Spikez invented to protect his lair. They were called, "Spookies".
2D shut his eyes as he heard children screaming and crying, the sound of flesh being torn, and vicious growling.
The evil outcast laughed and continued his evil melody:
"And it's so easy when you're evil! This is the life you see, the devil, tips his hat to me, I do it all because I'm evil...and I do it all for free....your life's the only pay I'll ever need!"
After singing his second chorus, Spikez leaped onto the metallic table the vocalist was chained down, and put his hand over his black, beating heart. And he put on a solemn face, and sang,
"I...pledge...my allegiance...tooooooo all things dark and I, promise on my damned soul, to, do as I am told, Lord...Beelzebub has never seen...a soldier quite like me!"
He said, growing a large smile as he said the last line,
"Not...only does his job but does it happily!"
Suddenly, with great force, Spikez took a giant leap into the air, and stomped the floor, causing his lair to tremble, and sent all of the guillotine blades to fall.
Blood, heads, and screaming all occurred at once.
The sadistic outcast's spider legs suddenly pushed themselves downward and lifted his massive body upwards, making him walk on his spider legs, and he began singing,
"I'm the fear that keeps you awake!
I'm the shadows on the wall!
I'm the monsters they become!
I'm the nightmare in your skull!
I'm a dagger in your back!
An extra turn upon the rack!
I'm the quivering of your heart,
a stabbing pain, a sudden start!"
He then raised his arms, and sang again,
"And it's so easy when you're evil...this is the life you see, the devil, tips his hat to me, I do it all because I'm evil...and I do it all for free, your life's the only I;ll ever need!"
He lowered himself again, and began tapping his colossal foot to the rhythm and nodding his head.
"And I do it all for free, your life's the only pay I'll ever need!"
This time, the four little demons couldn't contain themselves, and began giggling madly while playing.
Again, he repeated one final time,
"And I do it all for free, your life's the only pay I'll ever need!"
The evil outcast then turned to see the other surviving prisoners crying and sobbing, both adult outcasts and children outcasts. Spikez pointed at them with his knife-like claw, put his other hand on his gut, leaned over, and laughed at the hysterically.
The demons, while still playing their instruments, all turned to the victims as well and let out a barrage of multiple-toned guffawing.
Until finally, Spikez lumbered towards 2D, who was still shocked, and picked him up by the neck, nearly snapping it like a toothpick, and uttered in a low, gutteral voice, "My name is Spikez...and you and I, are gonna have a lotta fun...hee, hee, hee..."
The demons, from the background, laughed and pointed at him. Red took his index finger, and slowly put to his neck, symbolizing "dead meat".
A.N.: Wow, what a dark chapter. Suddenly, this story doesn't seem so light-hearted anymore... well, it never really was supposed to be, anyway. Wow, it's been a while since I updated this fic. I've got a lot of free time, so I'll probably be writing a little more often, of course, I'll still have other things to do, like practicing for the Soccer team. Um, well, I disclaim the song, it's called "When You're Evil", by Voltaire. When I first heard it, I thought it was catchy, humorous, and at the same time, menacing and wicked. So, I used it instead of the Oogie-Boogie song. Well, please review!
