5. Eddie's The Venom

Guilty Gear Specials

I do not own the Guilty Gear series, nor do I own the Simpsons, or their Halloween episodes.

I waive the right for you to sue me.

(Here's episode five: a total spoof of, 'The Raven' by Edgar Allen Poe.)

(We see the demon Eddie in a robe reading something called forgotten lore)

The Venom

[Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore of Zato-1--
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one heavily kicking, kicking at my chamber door.]

Eddie (muttering): 'Tis some visitor," [I muttered,] "tapping at my chamber door--
Only this and nothing more."

[Ah, distinctly I recall it was in a bleak Fall,
And each blotch of her blood wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; -- vainly I had no point to borrow
From my books surcease no sorrow-- sorrow for the dead Millia--
For the murderous and devilish maiden whom the angels name Millia--
This line cannot end in itself.]

Eddie (smiling): Humans are certainly lazy.

[And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me-- filled me with fantastic terrors wished to have felt before, like how I could have killed Millia in more ways than one;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating:]

Eddie (slightly panicking): 'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door--
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; This it is and nothing more."

[Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,]

Eddie: "Sir," [said I,] "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And each moment made me want to take your bodies even more, as you tap at my chamber door, That I scarce was sure I heard you"—[here I opened wide the door; -- Darkness there and nothing more.]

Eddie: Stupid Mini-Eddies… I bet they're trying to scare the **** out of me…

[Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Millia!"
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Millia!"--
Merely this and nothing more.]

Eddie: God, I hate that bitch!

[Back into the chamber turning, all my soul, if I had one, burning,
Soon again I heard a bashing something louder than before.]

Eddie (slightly panicky): "Surely," [said I,] "surely that is something at my window lattice; Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore--
Let my heart, had I one, be still a moment, and this mystery explore;--
'Tis the wind and nothing more."

[Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a fashionable Venom of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he,
But, with form to avenge Zato towards me, stood beside my chamber door--
Stood beside a bust of Zato just beside my chamber door--
Stood and glared, and nothing more.]

[Then this darkest man beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,]

Eddie: "Though thy crest on your hair is painted, I," [I said,] "am sure not tainted,
ghastly grim and ancient Venom wandering from the Guildean shore--
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Assassin's Guildean shore!"

Venom: [Quoth the Venom,] "I'm going to kill you."

[Much I marvelled this ungainly assassin to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning--little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet blessed with seeing Venom beside their chamber door,
Man, Gear, or Forbidden Beast upon the sculptured bust beside his chamber door,
With such a name as "I'm going to kill you."]

[But the Venom, standing lonely beside that placid bust, spoke only
That one phrase, as if his soul in that one phrase he did outpour.
Nothing farther then that he uttered; not a strand of hair had he stuttered--
Till I scarcely more than muttered:]

Eddie: "Other friends have flown before-- On the morrow he will leave me as my Hopes have flown before."

Venom: [Then the Venom said], "I'm going to kill you."

[Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,]

Eddie: "Doubtless," [said I,] "what it utters is its only stock and store,
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore--
Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore
Of 'Never--I'm going to kill you'"

[But the Venom still beguiling all my sad soul (had I had one) into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of white-haired man and Zato bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous white-haired dark-skinned man of yore--
What this grim, fashionable, skinny, and ominous white-haired dark-skinned man of yore
Meant in croaking "I'm going to kill you."]

[This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the pitiful dog whose water-colored eyes now burned into my bosom's core;
This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o'er,
But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er
She shall press, ah, with an "I'm going to kill you! Once and for all!"]

[Then, methougt, the air grew denser, perfumed from some unseen censer]

Eddie (smells this unseen censer, and then gets bashed hard in the head by said unseen censer): OW! Stupid censer!

[Swung by Slayer-phim who was less of a seraph and more of a vampire who has the potentialities of becoming the next final boss in the next Guilty Gear sequel.]

Eddie: "Wretch," [I cried,] "thy God hath lent thee--by these demons and succubus he hath sent thee Don't bother—I hold no sadness from killing Zato or Millia!
Quaff, oh quaff this I hold no sadness from killing Zato-1 or Millia Rage!"

Venom: [Quoth the Venom,] "I'm going to kill you."

Eddie (pointing): "Prophet!" [said I,] "thing of evil!--prophet still, if man, angel, or devil!-- Whether Zato sent, or whether his will tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate, yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted--
On this home by Horror haunted,-- tell me truly, I implore--
Is there-- is there peace in The Guild?--tell me--tell me, I implore!"

Venom: [Quoth the Venom,] "I'm going to kill you."

Eddie (screaming louder):"Prophet!" [said I,] "thing of evil!--prophet still, if man, angel, or devil! By that heaven that bends above us--by that God we both adore--
Tell this soul with no sorrow laden if, within the distant Nirvana,
It shall clasp a impure maiden whom the devils name Millia--
Clasp a rare and demonic maiden whom the devils name Millia."

Venom: [Quoth the Venom] "For Zato-sama's peace,"

Eddie: "Be that word our sign of parting, man or fiend!" [I shrieked, upstarting--]
"Get thee back into the tempest and the Assassin's Guildean shore!
Leave no white strand as token of that nonsense thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my happy loneliness unbroken! –Get your ass off my wall and door!
Take thy cue from out my heart, and take thy form from out my life!"

Venom (angry): [Quoth the Venom,] "I will kill you!!"

Eddie (taunting Venom): Then bring it, you Zato-whipped little bitch!

Announcer: HEAVEN OR HELL! FINAL DUEL! LET'S ROCK!!

(Venom and Eddie now charge at each other, their thirsty ambitions to kill each other truly great)

Venom: DOUBLE HAND MORBID!!

(Hits Eddie about four times; Eddie then releases a Mini-Eddie)

Eddie: INVITE HELL!!

(Darkness drills appear on the ground, destroying all the furniture in the area, and then little Mini-Eddie turns itself into a giant dark drill, hitting Venom for about 3 hits)

Venom: RED HAIL!!

(Venom jumps into the air and fires plenty of cue balls, bashing Eddie's groin in 8 precise hits)

Eddie (high voice because of 8 groin shots): MEGALITH HEAD!!

(A giant Eddie head pops out of the ground to attack Venom, but luckily he dodges it)

Venom: We end this now! DARK ANGEL!!

(A giant purple ball charges at Eddie at high speeds, draining the last of Eddie's health)

Eddie (shrieking): ORE WA SUROO SUTAATAA NANDA YO!!!

[And the Venom, never moving, still is standing, still is standing
On the pallid bust of Zato just beside my chamber door;
And the eyes have all the seeming of an avenger's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul, had I one, from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Where I will live--nevermore!]

[End]

Director: CUT!! That was beautiful!

Venom: Well, I do work very well. I did read the Raven before, so I got into it. Except for the Zato-whipped little bitch remark…

Director: What other way to end the season finale of Guilty Gear Halloween Specials! Especially when you dramatic faked killing Eddie!

Venom (angry and confused): Faking!?

Director (looks at the bloody Eddie's body): MEDIC!!

Maybe when the summer is over, I will continue with season two of Guilty Gear Halloween Specials!

Keep writing, all you Guilty Gear authors, and Triple Peeps, and Kaiser Ryouga II!
