Chapter 95: Ask Not For Whom The Pig Told
Primal screamed in pain as Fate sat in front of him, watching him die. Now, even Ruby was sitting next to him on a chair, still holding Mary Jane’s ear in her hand.
Mary Jane was crying tears of pork grease as she watched this horrible creature in front of her dissolve into nothing. Ruby looked at Primal and sneered, saying,
"Primal, you stupid idiot, how could you dare to challenge my husband? There is a reason why he does not fight often—it’s just not fair to his enemies."
Primal, seeing that he could not escape from his fate, looked at Ruby and said,
"Ruby, you bitch, how can you follow a man like this? It was a man who did all of those horrible things to you in the first place."
Ruby began to sip on some lemonade as she responded to Primal, saying,
"Primal, what you fail to realize is that Fate has not only saved me but all of my sisters, and now you have provoked us twice. Your Void Sovereign should wash his neck clean because we are coming for him soon enough. But first, we will find your human allies and feed them my new and soon-to-be improved moat water."
Primal cried out in pain and said to Ruby,
"Damn you, Ruby Valentine, you will not escape your fate. You are destined to destroy this world and make way for my lord, the Void Sovereign. You can never escape this fate. We will never let you and The Sisters Of Sorrow go."
With a smile on her face, Ruby began to play around with her prey. She took out a giant pail of eggs and set them down in front of her. These were not just any eggs but the most foul and rotten eggs that Clem Donald and his brothers had been able to raise so far. They were well on their way to being able to stink out Pope Crispy Cleaner when these eggs were combined with Clem’s onions.
Ruby handed Fate one, and he looked at it for a moment. Ruby quickly said to Fate,
"Fate, don’t break that egg. It’s a foul one. Throw it at our dissolving enemy. It is always fun to egg on your enemies."
Fate took the egg and threw it right at Primal. It landed right in his mouth just as he wanted to complain about the ethical treatment of prisoners of war. Mary Jane now had her ear being pulled by Shadow, who took over for Ruby so that she could enjoy herself with her husband Fate. After all, it’s not every day you get to mock your enemies. Well, for Fate and Ruby, it does seem like they get to do this every day.
With a sickening crunch, the egg broke in Primal’s mouth, and he tried to spit the foul substance out but was unable to. With this foul substance sliding down his throat, he was forced to swallow it along with some of the moat water.
Ruby looked at how slowly Primal was dissolving and said to Fate,
"Fate, this moat needs a little something extra if we want it to be able to kill people who try to wander into Shadow Spire Citadel. It’s taking a lot of time for this Void Beast to die."
Fate smiled as he grabbed another egg and responded to Ruby, saying,
"Don’t worry, Ruby. We added the sugar and the spice. Now all we need is something nice—that would be me and you—throwing in the secret ingredient known as Mary Jane Dawson. That makes us such kind individuals who care about the environment. But she can be thrown in after we have had our fun with this guest. Hey Primal, catch this one. Oh wait, you can’t because you don’t have hands anymore."
Fate chucked the second egg right at Primal’s forehead. It broke with a loud crack. Primal no longer had any hands, so he was unable to defend against these eggs.
Primal smiled as he suddenly remembered that humans have laws about the ethical treatment of prisoners, so they have to get him out of this moat and heal him until he can stand trial for his crimes. But if anything, the ones who should be on trial should be the two people in front of him.
With a plan in mind, Primal looked at Fate and said to him,
"Fate Grimsever, I am a prisoner, and as such, you have to treat me with the rights and responsibilities that come with being a prisoner." freewebnσvel.cøm
Primal smirked, thinking he was so clever that he could force Fate to take care of him and treat his injuries. When he was better, he would kill his guards and escape to report to the Void Sovereign about the strange abilities that Fate possessed.
Fate looked at Ruby and said to her with a smile on his face,
"Prisoner? What prisoner? Ruby, do you see any prisoners around here?"
Ruby shook her head and answered Fate, saying,
"Fate, honey, I don’t see any criminals or prisoners around here. We are just enjoying this fine sunny day while upstanding members of our community are enjoying a swim in the local moat."
Primal heard this, and his eyes almost popped out of his sockets. With a look of panic, he said to Fate,
"Fate Grimsever, you can’t do this! What part of my body dissolving into bone soup makes you think that I am swimming in your filthy moat?"
Ruby just ignored Primal as another bucket was placed in front of her, full of several-day-old dead Carnival Fish. The fish had little X symbols in their eyes and a small tongue hanging out of their mouths.
Mary Jane saw these still "good" fish, even as her ear was being pulled, so she asked Ruby,
"Are you going to be eating those fish? I could use a little snack. After standing for the last few minutes, my body is already beginning to waste away."
Hearing this, Fate grabbed an egg and shoved it right into Mary Jane’s mouth. Somehow, she was able to swallow the thing whole. Fate was shocked by this scene. Is Mary Jane a dumpster-diving monster?
First, there was Maria, a woman who can’t say no to any man except to Nimrod. Then we got Kathy, a gold digger who loves to rob people with her little toe gnomes. Now we have Mary Jane, who would eat the spoiled garbage out of a dumpster if ever given the chance.
Mary Jane smiled after eating that egg and said,
"That was a good egg. It was slightly overripe, but nothing I haven’t eaten before."
Primal looked at Mary Jane with a stupid look on his face. He pointed his wrist stump at Mary Jane and said,
"You humans say I’m the monster just because I eat a few humans. Well, what the hell do you call this creature in front of me?"
Fate, hearing this, thought for a moment about these words and said back to Primal,
"Primal, that’s a good point, so let me help you out a bit so we can move things along here. Shadow, go ahead and let Mary Jane go. I’m sure that she is eager for a snack."
Shadow smiled with a big grin on her face as she released Mary Jane. Then, using her boot, she kicked Mary Jane into the moat face first.
*Splash*
With a smile on his face, Fate said to Ruby and Shadow,
"We just added the secret ingredient. Now watch the magic at work!"
As soon as Mary Jane made contact with the water, its green color began to turn a slimy green texture as the pork content of the water shot up to over nine thousand pigs per square inch. This grease from Mary Jane’s skin caused an exponential chain reaction that made the moat water begin to slowly release a strange bacon-like odor. This change was useless against Mary Jane, but Primal began to scream in pain as his body began to collapse in on itself like a shrinking meatball.
Fate and Ruby watched this scene with wonder in their eyes, along with a hint of disgust.
Suddenly, a loud snort was heard.
"Oink, oink!"
That’s right—the impossible happened. The Void Beast Primal turned into a pig, at which point Fate felt compelled to say,
"Damn, Ruby, look at that bacon sizzle."
Mary Jane spoke up in excitement.
"Oh, a pig! Are we having a barbecue?"
