I Stand Beside My Own Reflection

A/N- Bear with me, people. My computers still messed up. This will be wayyyyyyy late `till I get a new computer (which will never happen) or I fix this error. (That also will never happen) Parody songs can be improvised. Regular fics cannot. I used the little dash thing for the different verses, as you probably saw, but with regular fics you cant do that. Ive narrowed it down to a few possible reasons my computer did this.....1. My fonts too small. I have recently lowered the size and maybe thats what threw it off. 2. The file was typed in an errored system corruption, so when I hit the enter key, it might show up on Wordpad, but never really was pressed on FF.nets.....whatever system they use to upload your fics. 3. My computer is a piece of shit. (Id go with the latter if it were possible) Let me ask your advice. Whenever I hit enter, it used to give me just a backslash. NOW, I get a backslash and a dash. I cant use apostrophes or quotes. Or colons or semicolons. Just a couple minutes ago my flashing type thingy was a few sentences behind my actual typing. Pllllleaaaaaaaaaaaseeeee help me. I will pay you back fic-wise. Or give you some pics of Manson Ive done off of my site. Or why dont I just use a different word program. Enjoy this.......if you can. BTW, I own nothing.

Marilyn Manson stared into the emptiness of his mind, trying to bring out the hidden withdrawls of energy inside of him, but failed. Things hadn’t been the same since he and Trent Reznor had broken their friendship. But what Trent had taught him Marilyn had to use more than ever now. `See with your mind what your eyes cannot,` was something that Trent had taught him previously. Manson soon gave up and went to see what John and Twiggy were doing.

“ Hey, what's…….up?" Twiggy asked as he saw Marilyn, expressionless. " It’s about Trent, isn’t it?”

Marilyn lifted his head and stared at Twiggy.

“ It’s like I’m wearing a sign!!!”

“ Why don’t you just talk to him and apologize? Just see what happens.” John said.

“ You’re my hero, y’know that…?” Marilyn smiled as he walked out the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Marilyn landed and saw Trent standing not too far away. He took a couple steps but stopped.

“ Fuck off, Brian….” Trent cursed.

“ Trent, please. I’m really, really sorry for hurting you. If you find it in your heart to forgive me, I-“ Marilyn started. Trent whirled around.

“ Listen!! I’m so goddamn sick of you and your constipated attitude and how you hate everyone. All you care about is shocking peopleand wasting your time on your pathetic songs about getting revenge on the world. Stop now, before you ruin yourself!”

“ Trent, I-“

“ SHUT UP!” Trent yelled and hit him with a punch that sent him back a few feet. “ I can’t stand you anymore! You used to be worth something but now you’re nothing!! Do you get it or do I have to draw a picture for you?!!!” He slammed his fist into Marilyn’s stomach. “ You are Brian Warner..and that’s all you’ll ever be…”

“ I AM THE ANTICHRIST!!!!” Marilyn screamed and powered up. He jumped back and flew at Trent. “ ALL MUST OBEY ME!”

“ Then try your best to make me kneel before you…” Trent replied, ducking a punch Manson had thrown. Marilyn flew back at him with another punch that hit Trent in the chin. He was unfazed. Manson threw some ki blasts at him, but he emerged unscathed. Marilyn charged Trent with a few punches. Trent took Manson’s arms and pulled them behind him. Reznor threw him into the ground. Marilyn pushed himself up on his elbows and coughed up some blood. Trent kicked him in the side.

“ Get up.”

Marilyn knew that if he didn’t use his full power, Trent would tear him to pieces. Manson got to his feet and flew at Trent, but he sensed him and smashed Marilyn’s face into his knee. Trent’s eyes inhabited somewhat of a demonic glow. Manson flipped himself up and grabbed Trent. He flew into the air, threw Trent down and blasted him with rapid fire ki blasts. He powered up a huge Masenko and fired it at Trent. After the smoke cleared, Reznor stood a few feet away from Manson. He drew his arm back and hit Marilyn with a punch. The shockrocker hit the ground and flew back up at Trent. He threw out a Makkensoppo at him, sending Trent back a few feet. Trent took a couple steps toward Manson and fired a ki blast directly into his face. Marilyn hit a cliff and dropped to the groud, landing on his neck and breaking one of his arms. (Picture available by email if you need the visualization…it looks painful) He fell on his back and got to his feet. Trent flew at him with a punch, which Manson barely blocked. He kicked Trent away and fired a Burning Attack. It did nothing to Trent. He powered up and charged up a KameHameHa Wave. Marilyn fell to his knees.

“ I AM YOUR END!!!” Trent yelled. “ Aren’t you going to try to stop me??”

“ What’s the point? You were my master….I could never beat you…” Marilyn said, weakness cracking his voice.

“ You’ve got to be joking! Giving up already?? Well, that’s nothing like the Marilyn I know…” Someone spoke in Manson’s head.

He looked around.

“ T…Twiggy? Is that you? Talkin’ in my head?”

“ Yeah…I’m talkin’ to you telepathically..I know you’ve got the power to beat him, Brian…I sensed it all along...Now, give him the biggest KameHameHa you’ve got!! I know you can do it! Trust me…” Twiggy said.

“ No, I can’t! I can’t even use one of my arms!”

“ HAHAHA!!!!!! He’s been driven insane by his own fear!!” Trent taunted.

“ Remember what you learned in your training, and trust yourself. It may feel like Trent weakened you, but really what’s draining your strength is your own doubt. Just don’t listen to him!” Twiggy continued.

“ I finally understand now…..I’ve got one arm, but that’s all I need!” Marilyn said. “ If only I had finished him off sooner…”

“ Hey, who knows what would have happned? For all we know, what you did was the best move. Sometimes life’s just too uncertain to have regrets. If you want to blame anyone for this, blame Trent! Make him pay for what he’s done!”

“ I will!” Marilyn clenched his fist and powered up. “KAAAAAAAAAAAA……………..MEEEEEEEEEEEEE……….HAAAAAAAAAAAA……..MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…….”

“ Now that’s more like it!!” Trent said. Marilyn’s power level went off the charts.

“ NOW…….YOU……DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Trent yelled and threw out his blast.

“ HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Marilyn fired his KameHameHa to combat Trent’s. At the last instant, Marilyn has decided to fight. But has he inherited the trait…..has he become a hero???

The two beams collided and made one huge blast. Trent pushed his farther and Marilyn had to hold it back and kept trying to push his back.

“ What’s the matter? You already have all the power you need! Just bring it out!” Twiggy called.

“ I can’t! I can’t keep this up….It’s too much for me to handle! I haven’t changed at all!”

“ Will you stop attacking yourself!? I don’t know where you got it in your head that there’s something wrong with you, because there’s not!! You’ve saved my life and our friend’s lives so many times! And you’re going to do it again! RIGHT NOW!!!!!” Twiggy yelled at Manson. “ Let it out, do it now!!!” Marilyn pushed his beam and almost overpowered Trent.Suddenly, Trent’s took the lead.

“ NO CHANCE!!! YOU HAVE NO CHANCE!!!” He yelled. Out of nowhere, Trent let up on his power.

“ NOW!!!!! DO IT!!!!” Twiggy yelled. With a scream of rage, Marilyn threw out all of the power in his body and threw it at Trent. After the beams were gone, Manson fell to the ground.

“ Brian, I’m so proud of you!” Trent said, walking away. “ You’ve gotten so strong…”
