Deadly Alliance

By Trent Reznor_X_Marilyn Manson

 

 

 

One year after the release of Antichrist Superstar……

 

 

Explosions rang on a faraway island as Marilyn Manson turned the city to burning rubble. His power was unlike anything ever seen before. Only a few people remained living. The citizens of the world were killed, and the cities were nearly destroyed completely. He blew up the few buildings left standing and continued on his unknown mission. On the way, he walked through fire without being singed.

A preacher named Shen walked through the town he was settled in at the time and gasped at what he saw. The whole place had been reduced to rubble after the attack by the self-proclaimed Antichrist. He kept looking, terrified of what he was seeing and realized how many people died. Someone walked next to him and took in his surroundings. It was one of Shen’s friends, Torubi.

"Why does this have to happen??” Shen asked, struggling to contain his anger at Marilyn.

"I don't know..." Torubi sighed, wishing he did.

“This just isn’t fair!! He’s destroyed every city on the map, nearly!! He’s killed thousands of innocent people!!” Shen cried. He hated it whenever Marilyn came around to their city, or any city. True, he was the self-proclaimed Antichrist, but he didn’t have to neutralize the planet. After the release of Antichrist Superstar, things went downhill from there. Shen found no use in protesting Manson’s concerts or albums. Would it really matter when he kills you? Marilyn had destroyed anyone and anything that got in his way, no matter who they were. Shen and Torubi’s church had been completely annhilated, and left the two preachers homeless, along with the few people Manson had missed on his destructive travels.

“Oh no…” Torubi gasped as he looked up into the sky. Shen quickly looked at what Torubi had seen. It was Marilyn Manson. Torubi took off running behind a building that was left standing.
”No!!” Shen pulled his fellow preacher back. “ He’s just gonna blow it up anyway!”

“But where do we hide?!” Torubi glanced around for a refuge spot.

“Over here!” Shen called as he noticed a huge pile of debris. The two preachers ran behind it and held their breath as Marilyn landed.

“Hm…I could have sworn I sensed someone still alive….” Manson spoke. Torubi clenched his fists in anger at him.

“Show yourself!” Marilyn yelled. “ Show yourself right now or else I’ll level this whole area!!”

“Oh no….He found us….” Shen whispered.

“Maybe you don’t believe me!” Marilyn loaded a ki blast in his hand and prepared to fire it.

“W….wait!!” Torubi yelled. Manson looked over at him. “ Here I am…..”

“Are you nuts?!” Shen whispered to him.

“Oh my…..I’ve left you alive…..” Manson laughed. “ You’d better hope I kill you now!!” He jumped out at Torubi with a punch. He dodged it and landed a kick into Marilyn’s stomach. Manson threw out a ki blast that sent Torubi flying into one of the buildings that were still standing. The structure collapsed onto Torubi. As he picked himself up out of the rubble, Marilyn charged up a ki blast and flew at him.

“TIME TO DIE!!!” He yelled. When Manson fired the blast, Torubi jumped out of the way. Marilyn appeared behind the preacher and threw him into the ground. Torubi picked himself up and faced off against Manson. Marilyn just smirked.

“HahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Do you really think you can win?” Manson laughed. “ Just look how you’re frozen with fear…”
”I’ll do my best to bring you down.” Torubi said. Marilyn suddenly appeared in front of him and thrusted his hand into Torubi’s chest. As Manson pulled his hand out, he sliced the preacher’s head clean off with a kick.
”I rule this world, and you are nothing to me!!” Marilyn smirked. Shen watched this display from his safe vantage point behind the debris.

“No….” He said. Torubi’s head and body hit the ground.

“Hm…..you’re still trying to win?” Manson taunted as he blasted the corpse to ashes with a ki blast. Marilyn began to walk away, when Shen blocked his path.

“You’ve gone too far this time, Antichrist superstar….” Shen spoke. His voice held no remorse as he glared at Manson.

“S….Shen….is that really you?…It’s been forever….since you-“ Marilyn gasped and tightened his fists.

“Hehehe…..my, if you clench those fists any tighter you’ll break a nail!!” Shen laughed. Manson’s anger grew. “ I’m amazed, Brian….these past 4 years Torubi and I have been through the most intense training sessions…but we’re still even. You must have been pushing yourself even harder than we have.” Shen said.

Marilyn smirked.

“ That may be true. I pushed myself to the edge of my limits and beyond, but you've been born with a natural talent far beyond my own. No amount of training could have closed the gap between us. I realize that now. It became painfully obvious to me that one day we fought. Imagine my shock to discover the undeniable proof, to discover that no matter how hard I tried, I would never be able to catch you. A true warrior forever living in the shadow of a low level clown!

So that's when I secretly made up my mind!” Marilyn smiled in a self-satisfied way. Shen gasped.

“You mean you...?? You fool! You deliberately let yourself fall under Satan’s spell?!”

“Yes, I saw the power of Satan's magic once at one of your church rallies….remember Suragu?? The people who had seen him before couldn't understand how he became so powerful. But you and I know.....It was Satan's magic....I knew that what it had done for him it could also do for me...I knew that if I let myself fall under his spell, the difference in our powers would disappear..I'm quite pleased with the results...Even if they do come at a price....I'd say the end more than justifies the means...” Manson smirked once again. Shen shook his head.

“Brian, I don't understand. You've never let anyone help you in your life! Why start now! Why Satan!??”

“Because I wanted him to reawaken the evil in my heart! I wanted him to return me to the way I was before!!! I WAS THE PERFECT WARRIOR!! I LIVED BY MY STRENGTH ALONE, UNINHIBITED BY FOOLISH EMOTIONS!! But slowly, I became one of you. My quest for greatness slowly giving way to this life of mediocrity...I awoke one day to find that I had settled down...had a girlfriend ...I had actually grown quite fond of her...Would you believe I almost started to think the Earth was a nice place to live...? Do you understand now, Shen? That's why I needed Satan! To set me free!! By releasing the evil in my heart!!! He has freed me of these petty attachments! And I have to say it feels pretty good….”

“If you want me to believe that, you’ll have to convince yourself of it first….” Shen said. Marilyn powered up and charged Shen with a punch. Shen grabbed Manson’s fist and bent it backwards. Marilyn hit Shen in the stomach with his knee, making the preacher release his grip on his fist. Manson punched Shen across the face and kicked him a few feet. Catching up with his flight path, the Antichrist threw out a ki blast, hitting Shen and hurling him into a building. The preacher dashed back at Manson and began clashing with him, with Marilyn blocking every attack.

“You have no chance of defeating me, not now!!!” Manson yelled. He clobbered Shen over the head with his elbow and threw him into the sky. As Shen flew through the air, Manson gathered his ki for the KameHameHa.

“KAAAAAAAA………MEEEEEEEEEEEE…….HAAAAAAAAA…….MEEEEEEE…….”

Shen wasn’t moving as he plummeted back to the ground.

“HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA……!!!!!!!!!!” Marilyn unleashed a huge KameHameHa energy attack on his foe. When Shen hit the ground, Manson grabbed him and threw him against a wall. He trapped the preacher to it using a ki blast.

“What's the matter? Not winning as easily as you thought??” Marilyn taunted.

“I never said it would be easy……” Shen choked out.

“You won't be winning at all....” Marilyn slapped him across the face. Shen glared at him.  “ What's the matter?!! Are you feeling angry, humiliated? Is that it!?? Fool!! You...don't....know...what...humiliation...IS!!!” Manson punched Shen extremely hard in the stomach. “ Don't worry....I will teach you its bitter taste just as you have done me!! Me...a warrior elite...I had the power to destroy worlds at my fingertips....I am a Satanist warrior...Satanist blood in my veins, and on my shoulders rests the glory of an extinct warrior race...Whole civilizations once trembled at the sound of my voice.....But you didn't...did you, Shen?..It was at your hands, your common hands, that my dignity and my pride, the foundations on which I had always stood upon,  began to crumble at my feet...It was at your hands I suffered my first great humiliation, toppled by a piece of low-level trash!! Imagine my added shame when it was you, not the other Christians, who avenged your religion by stopping my tour...you were the first to stand up to me, the first in years to take the place among the Christians of legend...A place I was told to believe was my claim....And imagine the disgrace I suffered when the strength I had worked my entire life to aquire, was surpassed by a mere preacher...You succeeded in a place where I, the Antichrist, had failed...It is time to take back what is mine!!!! I will not live my life as your second!! That time is over!! Every breath you take is an insult to my honor....But no more, Shen!! By my hands you will be cut down inch by inch, the way you have cut down my pride!!” Marilyn yelled. Shen powered up and broke free of his restraints. He punched Manson across the face with one of the huge boulders that had been latched onto his hands. With another walloping punch, he sent Marilyn flying into a building. Manson flew back to where Shen was.

“Hmph….Idiot….do you want to live for a few more seconds?” Shen taunted. Marilyn wiped the blood off of his mouth and dashed at Shen. The preacher hit him in the back, sending him crashing into the ground. Manson charged up a ki attack, but Shen deflected it back at Marilyn. Marilyn powered up and sent hundreds of ki blasts at Shen. The preacher dodged them all in rapid succession. Manson jumped back a few yards and planned his next strategy.

“Damn! I thought this would be easy…..how am I gonna beat this guy?…My only real chance is my newest attack….but will I still be alive after I use it?” Marilyn thought. “Oh well, better to kill myself than let him do it…..” Manson powered up, slowly raising his power. The ground crumbled underneath his gradually increasing strength. Shen smirked.

“There really is no way to win…” He said. Something in Marilyn’s head snapped. For a few seconds, he didn’t care if he lived or died. The mere thought of killing Shen once and for all, dominated over all other possible cares. He would finally be able to pay Shen back for all the pain he had caused in that one fight. Everyone who had made fun of him. All the protesters who suddenly stopped caring about his lyrics. Marilyn wouldn’t let Shen do that to anyone else.

“KAIO-KEN!!!!!!!!!!TIMES TEN!!!” He yelled. A red, glowing aura exploded around him, replacing the gold one. His feet dug into the ground, and intense pain surged through his veins, along with the sheer power. Shen flew into the air and charged up a beam.

“DODGE THIS ONE!!!” He said, and shot out an energy ball. Marilyn caught it in his hands and tried to throw it back, but to no avail. He was able to slowly push it, though. Manson smirked. He pushed the ball very, very slowly, then ran at top speed, still holding the sphere. Then, WHAMMO, he kicked it right into Shen’s face.

“Perfect.” Manson smirked. He jumped into the air, and pulled a fist back. As soon as Shen looked up, Marilyn had punched a hole through the preacher’s stomach. As Shen reeled in pain, Manson charged up an energy attack.

“KAAAAAAAA…….MEEEEEEEEEE…….HAAAAAAAAAAAA….MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…….”
Shen turned around to face Marilyn.

“The power of Christ will defeat you…” He said.

“It’s a little too late for that…..HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Manson fired his attack at Shen. It was a direct hit and went right through him. Marilyn stopped its plummet as soon as it was right in Shen’s stomach. He flew up to Shen. “Hehehe…..feeling a little under the weather?” Marilyn taunted. With a flick of his wrist, he let the KameHameHa Wave explode right from the center of Shen’s body. After the debris settled, Marilyn licked the blood off of his face. “Hate is the gift that has been given to me……” He said with a smirk, before blowing up the remains of the city.
