Chapter 10: Morning Torture
The next morning, in Jimmy's dormitory, Jimmy was sleeping in his bed until he woke up to the smell of smoke in the air. He yelped in shock as he sat up until he saw Dylan wearing large goggles instead of glasses, and sitting at a table with a bunch a of beakers full different colored liquids and holding a test tube of blue liquid in his hand.
"Dylan!" Jimmy snapped as he shifted his feet off his bed. "What are you doing up this early?"
"What I always do on an early Friday morning." Dylan simply answered as he poured the blue liquid into beaker of yellow liquid, turning it light green. "Now that you're awake, you can drink this and see if it causes your hair to grow exceedingly faster- like you even require it."
"Alright, that's it!" Jimmy angrily snapped as he jumped out of bed. "I can't take it anymore! Today, after class, I am going straight to the Housing Office and request to move in with another student, because you are the worst roommate ever!"
"Is that so?" Dylan asked without emotion in his voice. "You might as well depart from the educational facility while you're at it. Of course that would upset your girlfriend. Mindy, was it?"
"It's Wendy." Jimmy angrily corrected as he began to walk to the door. "And I am not leaving the school. I am simply relocating to another dormitory in which will hopefully have a better roommate than you."
"What's the matter, Nerdtron?" Dylan asked with a smirk as he poured another tube of liquid into another beaker. "It appears to me that you are fearful of sharing a room with one who is able to match your intellect- or even surpass it."
But Jimmy stopped, shook his head and replied, "Of course not! It has nothing to do with that!"
"Really?" Dylan asked, not even looking up at Jimmy. "You don't miss you inter-dimensional friends- the ones in your photograph?"
Suddenly, Jimmy gasped and turned around to his roommate, "How do you know about my friends being from other dimensions?"
"One of them is a species of sea sponge." Dylan easily answered, still not looking at Jimmy. "All your friends appear to have anomalous aspects that make them seem completely abnormal to be from our world; especially the raven-haired adolescent by just looking in his eyes."
Jimmy suddenly began to ignore this and shout, "Well, I would much rather have a roommate who doesn't snoop through my stuff." And then he began to storm out once again.
Then Dylan finally looked up at him and stiffly said, "Fine then. If you wanna leave, I'll hold the door open for you. But that doesn't mean I will let you become the most superior in class."
When Jimmy was about to walk out the door, he looked back and bitterly said, "Very well, Dylan. If that's how you want it, then I won't decline."
Back in DarkEvil's lair, Danny was screaming in agonizing pain as he was being shocked by the collar disabling him from using his ghost powers. Then a black-gloved hand pushed the button on the remote that stopped the collar from shocking a bruised and scorch-marked Danny and hunch over weakly.
Vlad Plasmius held the remote and smirked in satisfaction. "Oh, I am just enjoying this."
"You can just leave right now, Plasmius." Danny glared up at Vlad. "You can never weasel information out of me."
"Don't think I don't know that, Daniel." Vlad said as he held up the remote. "You see, DarkEvil LaserPants has ordered me to try and force information out of you. So even if you refuse to say anything, I still have the pleasure of causing you extreme discomfort."
"Not to mention the fact that without me telling you what you need, your plans are doomed to fail." Danny said with a smirk.
"Oh really?" Vlad asked as he pushed the button again allowing the collar to shock Danny again.
Danny gripped the electric collar as he grunted, trying to withhold his scream of pain.
Then Plankton came in and shouted, "Hold the torture, man! You-Know-Who wants him now."
Vlad reluctantly pushed the button and stopped the collar again from shocking Danny.
"What…" Danny tried to ask as he tried to stand up straight. "What does he want me for?"
"How should we know?" Plankton asked with a shrug. "All he told us to do was bring you to him and he'll take care of the rest."
"Funny how he orders his employees around without even telling you what the job he assigned you for is about."
Vlad pushed the button on the remote again to shock Danny for a split second. "If I were you, Daniel, I'd stop moseying around and do what you're ordered to do."
"Like everyone else around here is doing?" Danny muttered as he walked out of his cell.
He followed Crocker and Plankton down the hall until they came to a large door that automatically opened and Crocker pushed Danny inside before they left.
"Hello, ghost boy." DarkEvil said as he came into view. "I've been expecting you."
"Were you too busy to torture me for some info that you had to send Plasmius to do it for you?" Danny asked dourly.
"Frankly, yes," DarkEvil answered in a simple tone. "Though, I heard you refused to give me the location of SpongeBob SquarePants."
"If you think I'm gonna betray my friends to you just like that, you thought wrong." Danny said with a glare.
DarkEvil sighed and said in fake sympathy, "You're loyalty is unbearable. But, I think it's time to get down to business."
He walked over to the table and rolled out the large scroll which Danny spotted and his eyes widen in remembrance as he looked at the parchment, "That's…a really big scroll."
"Isn't it?" DarkEvil asked, "I found one recipe in it that I'm mainly interested in. It has to do with resurrection."
"Resurrection?" Danny questioned. "You mean like-"
"Bringing someone back from the dead?" DarkEvil finished for him. "Yes, and that's where it comes to you. I've managed acquire every ingredient I need, except one."
"Which is…?"
"Blood of a Living Relative."
"Blood of a…" Danny was shocked by this he couldn't even finish.
DarkEvil with his back still turned to Danny just continued, "Yes, he of course doesn't really have any living relatives, so I figured I could provide a substitute who shares the exact same blood as him."
"But, I don't share the same blood of anyone who's dead." Danny pointed out. "Or even know anyone who is dead and I share the same blood as."
But then DarkEvil suddenly turned around and swiftly fired a laser at Danny, shooting him into a stand table that locked his wrists above his head.
Then DarkEvil began to slowly approach him. "Of course you don't know who it is I'm trying to resurrect. But it's your blood and only your blood I need."
He then took out a sharp dagger from behind his cape and held it up as he continued to approach the restrained Danny.
Danny's eyes widen with fear as he said, "But…but, who is it that you're trying to resurrect that needs my blood?"
"You'll find out soon enough." DarkEvil coldly said as he got closer to Danny with the knife. "After all…it's just one drop of blood."
"No…get away…NOOOO!"
Who do you think DarkEvil could be trying to bring back with a resurrection spell? Especially when he needs (a drop of) Danny's blood as an ingredient. Please review and the next chapter will be up soon.
