Insanity is Forever Ch 11

"Back in the day Cyclonia was on the verge of loosing the war" said Vincent staring into his tea cup

"When the storm hawks were uniting the sky knight's from every Terra the chances of Cyclonia winning the war was starting to look bleak so dear old granny called me and ordered me to search in an uncharted sector of atmos for a extremely rare crystal that could be used to make super soldiers"

The storm hawks and Cyclonis listened intently to Vincent.

Vincent drank some of his tea and continued, "I being the loyal soldier I was back then obeyed, I traveled to where I was supposed to and it was strange" "For weeks All I found was storm clouds and jagged cliffs, I wasn't allowed to return to Cyclonia until I find something of worth so after a few more weeks I finally found it"

Vincent then started eating a little more food off of his plate Cyclonis then asked "Found what?"

Vincent smiled "The Absurdity Crystal" Piper and Cyclonis just looked confused then he said "I'm sure you haven't heard of it, the locals of the terra I found it on say it was able to give the user immortality" Cyclonis's eyes widened and the storm hawks raised there eyebrows in disbelief Vincent sighed wistfully "well that's what they say, I had the same reaction as you, I scoffed and found the crystal in an underground vault with thousands of skeleton's laying on the ground near the pedestal it was on"

His tone changed to a soft and longing one "It was beautiful, the black and silver crystal shining in the light like the stars in the night skies, so I took it for myself and began my long journey to Cyclonia but the local's warned me that the crystal had strange effects on the hearts and minds of men but I just scoffed again then left" Vincent expression went blank as if he was lost in thought.

"What were the effects of the crystal besides immortality?" asked Piper. Vincent blinked then said "What?" "What were the effects that the local's said about the crystal" Piper asked again Vincent smiled "Oh that, well it was said by the local's that the crystal drove men mad, they said that the crystal spoke to them putting dark thoughts into there hearts and minds till they got rid of the crystal or were driven mad but mostly driven mad" he laughed then said ominously "but that was a rumor or was it"

"What happened to the crystal you had?" asked Stork trembling with anxiety.

Vincent explained, "Well I returned home and handed it over to dear old empress wart face, oh how she was so pleased but over the next six month's of studying it her sanity was starting to slip, the crystal was playing with her mind, putting her through imaginary scenarios until she found a way to keep her sanity together she put it in a box made of a rare material then she locked it away in her privet vault in her office, it was left in silence for years until the day I was arrested"

Vincent stood up and walked over to the fireplace with his back to his guests, he stared into the fire the orange light made him look like a ghost "When I was arrested, I was supposed to be executed but granny dearest ordered her scientists to perform an experimental surgery on me with that crystal, they cut me open like a piece of meat and implanted the crystal into me, oh the pain was very agonizing but the operation was a success the crystal gave me immortality but at a price, it drove me even madder then I was before" he smirked

" I was monitored for the next three weeks until I broke out of the labs, I slaughtered the scientists with my own two hands oh the feeling of their blood on my hands, the way they begged, the life fading from their eyes I craved it, I never felt more alive in my entire life" Excitement and vigor was rising in Vincent's voice Stork was starting to edging closer to the door, Aerrow's hands were on his weapons, Piper gripped her weapon tightly, Junko and Finn started eating faster.

"Grandmother was furious so she tried to stop me her self but she was sick and growing weak, the crystal really drained her as well as age and illness I had her throat in my hands, she was choking on her own blood and spitting out words of defiance, I was about to finish her but I was finally subdued, and locked away, she was flown away back to Cyclonia then she died months after that which was about a year after Dark Ace joined Cyclonia" He turned to them with his smirk still on his face he sat back down in his seat.

"That's my story" he said in a casual tone then he continued eating, Cyclonis was glaring at Vincent he noticed her glaring he asked drinking his tea "do you know what her last words were to me before she was flown away?"

"What?" snarled Cyclonis "Your mad" said Vincent in a mock old woman's voice "then I told her we all go mad sometimes" with that Cyclonis grabbed the knife on her plate and dived at Vincent, she landed on him, pinned him to the floor and stabbed him in the chest.

Cyclonis got up breathing heavily saying "I..I did it?" she turned to the storm hawks and said "I did it, I killed him" but they heard an insane cackling they all saw Vincent sitting up on the ground with the knife in his heart but he was laughing at them like it wasn't there "oh you got me but I doubt that would have worked" he grabbed the knife and pulled it out, the knife was covered in blood he started licking it the storm hawks and Cyclonis saw the big bloody wound on his chest close it self up in the blink of an eye.

Vincent stood up straightened out his suit and said "Well it seems I must kill you now, oh and before I do I just want to say that this whole time our dinner was your friend Noob" they all looked at there plates, Finn and Junko stared throwing up all over the place.

Aerrow stood up and pulled out his daggers with Piper and Starling with their weapons drawn, Vincent stood there with his hands behind his back smiling then he said "Bring it on" Aerrow ran at Vincent and lunged but Vincent just evaded and started whacking the daggers away from him when Aerrow was lunging at his face and chest, then he kicked Aerrow in the jaw sending him crashing into a wall, Vincent then ran past Piper and Starling, he jumped onto the table and kept running towards the door, Finn was shooting at him with his cross bow but Vincent kicked up a dinner plate caught it and started blocking the arrows with the plate.

He reached the end of the table, he jumped, spun around and threw the plate at Cyclonis and ran past Stork out the door, the plate was blasted to pieces with a firebolt crystal they all heard Vincent's voice echo back from down the hall "Catch me if you can".
