Out of His Mind
Chapter 4:
Isolation and Pain
Edited by: William Whisk
Disclaimer:
Maxwell Atoms is the owner of "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" I am just making a fanfiction parody. I hope you enjoy it.
Description you need to know. Billy and Mandy are around sixteen years old and Mandy is still wearing what she normally wears and same goes with Billy.
Note: If you notice I have made relations from the cartoon into my chapters. If anyone was wondering why I decided to make Billy smart like this, it is because of his long outbursts of intelligence. So ask yourself this, why it is Billy will say something smart for a long period of time. He may not be as stupid as we believe he is, and his father did get a Harvard acceptance letter, "The taking Tree." Well just thought I should add that in.
Author's note: Some things have come up and I may not be able to put these fics up Friday anymore but Friday will still be my goal. I just came up with many personal problems that interfere with my time. Even though this fic is finished, I still edit them to my best abilities. Also it is difficult for me to get someone to help me edit these fics to get them edited on time. I am sorry if I upset anyone about that, but don't worry, I will have them all up eventually and the goal is still every Friday. Thank you again for the reviews and sorry bout any disappointment.
Once again, if you see any corrections that should be made with my grammer, I greatly appreciate to know so I can make this chapter and my future work and chapters better for your pleasure and for my skills as a writer. Thank you once again for your help and I hope you enjoy this chapter.
End of Author's Note.
Venage saw what had occurred, with his ogre, through a small crystal ball. For a moment he had become agitated, but quickly calmed down.
"The boy will lose to his emotions because hunger is the key to victory," Venage thought out loud and then continued to ponder.
'It seems that I need to take further precautions. I must not let Mandy know they're coming, she is still too dangerous,' the demon thought to itself as he stopped a little imp, who was carrying Mandy's small amounts of food.
"Make her drink this instead," Venage commanded replacing the drink with a special concoction he had made and then continued with his thoughts.
The imp did as its master commanded and saw Mandy awake and sitting against the wall. The creature pushed the food through a small rectangular opening at the bottom of the cage, which would let her take the food without harming anyone. Mandy took her food and ate it without hesitation, not carrying if it was tampered with. All she just wanted to do is eat.
Hours passed and as she noticed that no one was coming down to force her to an unconscious state. After some time, she found herself becoming drowsy and soon things became dark for her.
When she opened her eyes, there was no longer a cage, but only darkness, except for a large circle of light that surrounded her, which slowly became smaller and smaller. She tried to break out but found herself unable to leave the circle that was shrinking and forcing her back.
When the light stopped shrinking and time passed, she felt isolated and alone. The light suddenly expanded into a world of which Mandy would consider a true nightmare.
People, who were happy, surrounded her. She tried to take charge of them, now free of the bounded light and able to move as she wished, but they would laugh at her instead of fearing her. They would boss her around instead and force her to do chores and other humiliating tasks. They would kick and bully her, and it felt all so real to her.
Irwin would come and anger her but she could not hit him because it seemed as her hands were guided to miss, which was the same for anyone else she tried to bully. Mandy found that she couldn't even leave the area and was forced by people and Irwin, to hear all the things that she did not want to hear and see things she never wished to see them do. The world was at peace and everyone was happy, with the only exception being Mandy, who was miserable and being treated horribly.
Soon she saw Grim and Billy walk up to her. Grim laughed as he poked the end of his scythe at her, telling her that he is the one in charge now, how useless she is, and that no one any longer fears her. When she glared at him, with her menacing dark glare, that could horrify anyone, and tried to verbally threaten the reaper, he would only laugh in response and then challenge her empty threats, which wouldn't be so empty in the true world.
Mandy was for once hopeless and when she saw Billy, who was in his teenager form but his face was no longer swollen, he would just blankly stare at her. He was the only person, who would always truly and willingly be by her side and do anything she ever asked for, but now he was only just standing in front of her, staring blankly at her as if she didn't exist.
When she called out to him, it was as if he couldn't see nor hear her. When she tried to hit him he would move away casually as if he spotted a shiny object on the floor or just did the minimal amount of movements because something had distracted him. He soon heard his name being called by Grim and then ran off like a mindless idiot to the reaper.
Mandy was once again alone. She was alone for hours and the circle of light had begun to shrink once again and darkness surrounded her. She always wanted to be alone, but she was human, she would want at least a book or some form of entertainment, but instead she was alone, trapped inside a tiny circle of light. She continued to fight and break out of the circle for what seemed like hours. Soon she began to feel tired and began to lie down holding her legs close to her.
"It seems you win Crane," Venage said to the large muscular imp that stood next to his side.
"We both knew she was strong, normally it would take three seconds for someone to crack, but an hour? I still can't believe I won for saying, that she would last more then five seconds," Crane said with a dark but yet high pitched voice.
"What are you going to do, with the two unwelcome guests that are near? They are getting fairly close," The large imp asked.
"I need more time for her to completely break, so I will force them back a bit. I had many of our weaker minion's attack them, so the scythe should be depleting the boy soon. Then I can just force them into another world," Venage began.
"It'll take at least three days for the boy to recover and I believe by tomorrow, this one will be so helpless, that even if we took her out of this cage and they came to fight, she wouldn't be able to do anything," Venage said and Crane began to grin.
"How do you control your emotions so well," Crane asked his friend who kept a blank expression on his face.
"Concentrate on your hunger enough and emotions can be set aside, plus if you have about a thousand years of time to practice give or take," Venage replied.
Billy grew tired as he constantly fought other minions that were sent to stop him. Each of the creatures had fallen to the blasts the scythe had shot.
"Listen mon, you need to take a break, that scythe seems to have drained too much from you," Grim said but Billy kept moving not listening to the reaper's advice.
"Billy, I am telling you for your own good, stop now," Grim shouted.
"Grim, why do you care, all that matters is saving Mandy. If anything happens to me, you are set free anyways, right," Billy asked as he was a bit tired and frustrated.
"Well I uhm…," Grim was a lost of words and was even more shocked especially because Billy was the one who put him there. A portal suddenly opened up in front of Billy, sucking him and Grim into it.
When they came out of the rift, they were in a dark green forest and Billy had passed out.
"Drat, that demon sent us to another dimension. That should have taken a lot of Venage, but it sets us back as well," Grim muttered to himself as he picked Billy up and put the boy against a tree. A day passed before Billy had awoken. There was food in front of him and his mouth began to water. It was a giant boar being cooked, over a fire.
"Eat up mon, because it will at least take you two to three days, to get your energy back," Grim told the boy.
"Where are we," Billy asked, confused to see that he was in a forest now.
"We're in the dark forest, a different world then where we want to be. Seems like Venage wanted to buy himself some time," Grim said and Billy didn't look happy.
"Billy, I must say you have tons of energy mon," Grim said as he began to go deep in thought, while Billy swallowed his food before he began to speak.
"Why do you say that Grim," The boy asked, looking into the skeleton's empty eye sockets.
"You used a lot of the scythe's power mon. It's supposed to drain you heavily. I will warn you, when you begin using the scythe's incredible physical enhancement powers, you will even be drained of more energy, which means if you over use it to much…this mission of yours to save that horrid girl, will come to fail," Grim said with a serious expression on his face, letting the boy know it's no laughing matter.
"Your mission ends here, fortunately." A demon like creature said. It had Grim's height, with black eyes and body. The creature was furry and had its ears slicked pointed back like horns. Its teeth were blood red sharp and had no nose but its features showed it was toned and would provide more then pure muscular strength.
Billy shot a blast from the scythe but it had no affect on the creature and Grim hid behind Billy.
"What? Stupid scythe isn't working," Billy shouted as he kept shooting blasts and the creature, which laughed as it launched onto Billy.
"Magical blasts don't work to well against me boy," Its claw like fingers scratched Billy's shirt, putting scratch mark wounds on the boy's chest.
Billy screamed in pain as soon as he was suddenly scratched. He quickly used the scythe to defend from the monster, blocking the next attack.
"Billy! What are you doing, fight with the scythe mon," Grim shouted.
"I'm trying to protect myself," Billy shouted back as the creature almost knocked the scythe out of his hands.
"Billy if he gets you, you won't be able to save Mandy," Grim said and Billy's eyes widened for a split moment as rage took over and the scythe began to glow red.
"Grim is right, I shouldn't protect myself, I should be fighting no matter what pain I'll get." Billy said as he disappeared in a red flash.
