A/N: I've been puzzling over whether to do every single villain from Season 1 and 2 of SRMTHFG or just stick with the memorable ones, the ones that I can actually tie down to the Torture table. So anyway, here's a short look into the no doubt embarrassing life of... Hydra Monster!

Victim 3 (sort of): Hydra Monster

"Hi Shuggazooom, this is Natalie Teasedale, with our very own, Hydra Monster! Give a round of applause for the disgusting slug-like thing that nearly destryed our city people! Yeah!" Natalie was underwater, in a wetsuit with tons of diving gear strapped to her waist. And doing an interview with Hydra Monster.

"Now Hydra, we understand that you had a difficult childhood. Can you elaborate on that?"

The slug thingy with lots and lots of sharp teeth (And I am talking lots) and countless tentacles... well...waved his tentacles around. Well there wasn't much else the monster could do. Except try to eat Natalie. What? You didn't expect him to actually answer back did you?

Or did he...

One of Torture Chamber's technicians was sitting cross-legged on the sea bed, a waterproof laptop in front of him. On the screen were wavy lines. Like soundwaves, or that screen in the hospitals that tell you your heart rate. Apparently, Hydra's tentacles produced electromagnetic waves. Lucky for Torture Chamber.

"What are you getting Alex?" Natalie took a peek at the laptop screen. She heard a familiar tune. And then she slapped Alex. "What are you doing listening to Greensleeves Al?! Get back to work! The boss is paying us extra for this job!" Bubbles were flying around everywhere.

"Alright alright!" Alex turned off the computer music player. Instantly, a crackling could be heard.

"...you kidding me?! Dang right I had a hard life! I started off as one in 54 of larvae stuck in a bowl. We sat there for weeks, on the arm of Skeleton King's throne. The weather in there is not nice, let me tell you! Then one stupid boring day the bone-head tossed me onto a board. It was so brightly coloured, I couldn't stand it, I tell ya! Then for some reason, I was here. Quick as a flash I was in this weird place with no contact with my family! I swore at Skeleton King for a while, then I started to look for food. You can't blame a guy for that, I was scared, tired and hungry. Jeez, I was hungry alright. Along the way I grew these really cool teeth, I never had teeth before. But I absolutely hate these tentacles! They get in the way all the time!"

Natalie punched the water in delight. "So, you hate the Skeleton King and those tentacles?"

Hydra Monster twirled his tentacles again, rather angrily. The laptop screen crackled. "Dang right I hate him! And these tentacles are so annoying! They get caught in everything. I'm gonna get that idiotic fancy-pants Mr 'I'm too good to do my own dirty work to take over the planet' someday! Especially when..."

Natalie cut Hydra off. "Did you meet up with the Monkey Team at any time?"

Hydra sort of shrugged his tentacles. "Five little monkeys? Yeah, they came when I was halfway through a train. I swiped at them for a bit, managed to catch them too. Good practice for the day I go after Skelly boy. You ain't seen nothing yet bony-face... And you know what the real reason I want to get revenge on that moron?"

Natalie was beginning to get freaked out by this giant underwater worm with his deranged plans of vengeance. "What's the reason?" she asked shakily.

"Because, because, a few days after the Monkey Team went away, I got a message! And you know what that message was?!" Pink-ish foam had begun to ooze out of Hydra Monster's mouth. Hydra Monster's tentacles prepared for a big final sentence. Hydra let fly, his tentacles thrashing about with rage.

"I was told that Skeleton King ate Jake! My own brother, SK ate him! He ate him, I tell ya! He was a little younger than me, four seconds. My lil bro! And Skeleton King killed him! That's why, THAT'S WHY I WILL GET HIM SOMEDAY!!!" Hydra Monster stretched his tentacles up in a scream of anger.

Then the laptop blew up.

Natalie, Alex and the cameraman swam up to the surface. Alex waved a USB chip at Natalie, and she gave him a thumbs up. The cameraman signalled that the tape was intact as well.

"That job went okay I guess." Alex commented, small bubbles spilling from his mask.

Does this diving gear make me look fat? Natalie wondered. When she heard Alex's voice, Natalie shrugged. "I still don't get why I was stuck with the sea slug when lucky old Cedric ended up with Planetoid Q!"

Read about that, in the next chapter...
