Forneus - The Confrontation of Positively 4th Street
The kitten's memories faded as she was picked up, in her final moments she saw the unamused vampire pick her up with some force and then, the
OREO. The rest faded to black, she had died, but at least she had finally found a reason to live.
Forneus' smile faded instantly, the only ally who he had had up to this point had been killed by some energy that the vampire possessed. He watched in suprise as his only subordinate was crushed into the ground by a giant cookie. A sea creature, one whom Forneus himself had trusted and had allowed it to follow him had been ended by this worthless piece of garbage. The abyssal energy in Forneus' veins crackled to life with new anger, hatred and resentment towards this
arrogant creature of the night. Underneath his cape his other weapon had felt this and immediately shook in agreement. It's hatred rising as well and therefore would rise in power, but even if it wasn't Forneus didn't care. How dare this pompous, annoying and narcissistic child kill a creature of the sea?! How dare he talk back to the Abyssal Lord of Water!? Stroking his ego even farther than Forneus himself could fathom,
how dared he!? Forneus clenched his right fist and reached for Venge when he stopped himself.
This was not... This was not the way to approach your comrade dying! Regain your composure!Forneus took a deep breath, looked at the three for what seemed like hours and then he began to slowly clap. The Lord of Water hadn't lost his composure since he had been taken on by the legendary pirate Black who had managed to outwit him! He was impressed and at the same time furious that he had been talked to in such a way. Forneus finally spoke,
"Color me impressed vampire. Color- me- impressed~. I applaud you for using some of your most vast power to strike down my only ally!" Forneus said as his smile returned, this time more wicked than before,
"Though I have a question for you! If you have so much power and so much charisma- then why defend yourself when a demon is talking down to you? You're obviously higher in stature than me? I thought you would have thicker skin than that since you have done so well to develop this complexion for yourself? You should have no reason to talk back to me, a: "lowly cricket" as you put it?" Forneus sighed,
"And here I thought that you were so powerful that you wouldn't even have to kill a defenseless sea creature! I'm disappointed in you vampire!" Forneus walked up to the remains of the watery cat, it had died due to it's figure being crushed- while it still was water it had a clearly visible brain and this upstart smashed it right in. How pitiful.
Forneus placed his hand upon the corpse and in an instant the strange sound returned, the screams filled the air around the four- this time they were more silent. Forneus' left arm lit up with an eerie amber light as the watery mess beneath him began to slowly rise up and caress his arm, slowly it made his way up his arm and flowed around it for awhile until an ear-shattering scream occurred and the remains seeped into his skin. The soul of a mischievous rebel would merge with Forneus, slightly raising his power. He took a deep breath as the tiny ritual ended, and his eyes lit up with a most wondrous crimson.
"Ah... Refreshing. Your strange power intrigues me vampire! I desire to uncover its secret, however judging by the look on your face you wouldn't tell a soul now would you? How boring." The cat's memories showed him it's last moments, and in those moments he saw it, he couldn't see its features- only an outline of a being consisting of supernatural power.
"A being that you can control at will? Interesting, very interesting. However that interests me not now!" Forneus said as he began to well up with a terrifying burst of abyssal energy, and in an instant his voice changed from smooth as the ocean's calm waves to a fierce- storm-like distortion.
"What does matter is that I will teach you, youngling an important lesson! Your arrogance is amazing! And I despise it." As Forneus said this, water began to gush out of the ground around him. In it's waves it showed images of the damned, their faces in ever tormented agony as they spun in the watery grave. The waves of magic began to crash against each other as, Forneus' eyes began to take that oval shape again, this time lighting up with a combination of yellow and red hues as if to signify pure rage and yet it conveyed that he was still fully in control! He wouldn't lose himself that easily, however- playtime was
over. Forneus stared intently at the three, a twisted smile inching across is face as his hair began to flow in the wind.
"You talk back to me, you destroy my subordinate and then treat me like I am but a mere powerless HUMAN." The waves began to crash against each other as the familiar screams rose to a resounding crescendo,
"So then, "Emperor"! How about you and your subordinates entertain me? After all, I am just an annoying cricket to you- You worthless MAGGOT!" As he said this, Forneus reached into his cape and withdrew Venge. The red sword gleaming in the moonlight and glowing with pure hatred.
"Come then! All of you! I think it's time that you learned to- RESPECT YOUR ELDERS!" Forneus yelled as finally the water around him splashed around and trashed, much like an insane beast who had recently been cut loose of it's leash for pure sport. What DIO hadn't realized is that appearances can be decieving, and that now- he had made a powerful foe. And he and his subordinates would feel his wrath.
