Clash Of The Super Powers: Chapter 6: The End Of Marilyn??!!

By Trent Reznor_X_Marilyn Manson

 

 

Marilyn flew at her with a kick. She blocked it and hit him with an uppercut. He quickly recovered and punched her across the face. Dita grabbed him by the neck and slammed her fist into his back. Blood spurted out of his mouth. She continued to hit him this way. Trent watched, tears in his eyes.

 “ Brian, our paths have crossed many times...it was because of you that I was even interested in fighting...from the very beginning...when I was just a producer….I wanted you destroyed...I was born to hate you....As a young fighter....those sparring sessions against you were all I had...I lived for the chance to see you die...I will never forget the fight we had when Portrait Of An American Family was released....From that day forward...I knew there was something about you...something not of this world...When we fought those preachers...I jumped at the chance to kill you and Shen...after all...it's what I was waiting for my whole life...but as you laid there....lifeless....it just wasn't what I imagined...How could I hate someone who had made such an honorable sacrifice?? Brian....why do you have to die...?? I wanted to fight alongside of you...I expected it...but your powers have become far greater than my own...You’ve chosen to fight Dita at the cost of your own life... but you were always like that....” He said, near crying. Suddenly, Dita dropped Manson from her grip. Trent couldn’t take it anymore, and decided to take matters into his own hands. He stepped up to her, eyes ablaze with anger and fury.

“ Trent's different from before...maybe Marshall’s fate pushed him over the edge....maybe he's done what I couldn't...” Marilyn thought, looking at Trent. Trent flew at Dita with a few punches, which she had trouble blocking. He got in a final blow across her face, drawing blood. They landed and squared off.

“ Nice try…but I think your shoe came untied….” She taunted.

“ I’m not gonna fall for that…I don’t even HAVE shoelaces…” Trent replied.

“ Oh darn, I guess you’re a little smarter than the average shockrocker….” Dita said.

Marilyn started laughing.

“ Hahaha....who would've thought a lowly soldier like you, Trent, I commend you.....Dita, you fool.....don't you get it...Trent is no ordianary fighter....he is your demise!!! You heard me right...if there is a God he must be good for letting me live to see this day....How great...this is a dream come true....to see you beaten by Trent Reznor!!” Manson smirked. Dita had heard enough, and shot a energy beam through Marilyn’s chest. He collapsed to the ground. All of the fighters stared in shock. Trent turned and glared at Dita.

 “ How could you!!?? What's your problem?? He was no threat to you anymore...he couldn't even defend himself...there's no honor in that!!!” He yelled. Marilyn still had enough will power to talk, and looked over at Trent.

“ Trent.....don't be so soft...there's no stinkin' honor in any of this.....it's just a game...play to win!! There are no rules...You're going to have to get over your soft heart and just do it....and forget about your feelings...they'll get you killed..Trent...they'll get you killed!!!” Manson told him, coughing up blood.

“ I can't change who I am...not on the battlefield...my feelings are my guide....and besides...everyone deserves a chance to change....just like you had......” Trent replied.

“ Fool....you don't know what you're up against....” Marilyn cursed.

“ Save your strength, Brian….”

“ No…....there's more....She killed my bandmembers....it was her....Zim Zum…Gidget....everyone else...she killed them...it's true...no one survived but us....Ask her if you want...she'll tell you....she's proud of it....” Marilyn said.

“ Please stop talking…it’s sapping all your strength….”

“ No.....listen...you have to hear this...I worked so hard for her....I did everything she asked me” Marilyn started to cry, really cry, for the first time in his life. “ She took me from my bandmates...She made me do everything she wanted and said she would kill my friends if I didn't.....I did everything she asked....but she killed them anyway....along with everyone else...she was afraid of us...she was afraid the Antichrist would rise up and overthrow her.....” Manson continued, losing strength in every word.

“ Please…..no more….” Trent said, crying.

“ Please.....destroy Dita....she made me...what I am.....Don't let her do it to anyone else......Whatever it takes....just stop her....pl...ea...se....” Marilyn begged, before losing consciousness. Everyone,except Dita, stood in shock at the death of their best friend.

“ N…..no….not again…..” Ana cried, holding Pogo as a support. Trent picked up Manson’s lifeless body and placed him away from the battlefield.

“ Goodbye Brian.....you're not as cold-hearted as you believed yourself to be.....a heart of stone....can't shed tears as you did....you must have been holding it back your whole life......I think I understand you now..You weren't greiving over your own death...or your friends.....you were greiving because she turned you into what SHE wanted you to be....you never had a chance to be anything else....Well....I still respect you...I know you made a lot of mistakes...but now I see that it wasn't all your fault..you had the fiery will of a Satanist....please share that with me now....’cuz I need it....I'll do my best to carry out your wish…….” Trent said, making a final dedication to Marilyn. He stood up and faced Dita. “ Brian's right....You have no honor...for him and for everything else you destroyed....I'm going to finish you!!”
