Forever Evil 16 Chapter 16: Ketchup Goblin

I halted my foot mid stomp.

Jack: " Huh? Why what's wrong Chuck? "

Chuck: " Don't stomp on his head. "

Jack: " Don't stomp on his head? Why his head? Can I still stomp on him anywhere else? "

Chuck: " Go nuts pal, just don't stomp on his head because that mask looks pretty cool. "

Plum : (" f.u.c.king Moron because we need his brain intact! ")

Jack took a second to look down at Gyroms skull mask although it did look really cool the mask was cracked and the feathers had been worn down.

Not to mention it was heavily damaged from the explosion earlier and was likely to fall apart at any moment.

The more Jack inspected the mask the less desirable it looked, he wondered what Chuck saw in such a thing.

Jack: " I dunno Chuck looks kinda crummy to me. "

Gyrom: " (*Gurgle-*Wheeze), (*Croak), (*Wheeze) ".

Jack ignored Gyrom's pleading eyes looking back up at him and gave him a strong kick to the gut for interrupting his conversation with Chuck.

Gyrom groaned out in pain but his wheezing quieted down by a bit.

Jack felt no sympathy for the old red b.a.s.t.a.r.d, if anything Jack even felt a little tempted to set him on fire.

He wanted to let him experience the same h.e.l.l he went through from his initial fireball attack back at the Goblin Cave Entrance.

Plum sensed his growing discontent so she spoke to him in Chuck's voice once more.

Chuck: " Jack old buddy old pal you're looking at it the wrong way, you're not gonna wear it. "

Jack: " I'm not? Then what's the point? "

Chuck: " Cause It would make one wicked souvenir that's what. "

Jack felt that Chuck was being a little too weird about the whole mask thing.

But for some reason instead of pursuing his doubts Jack simply ignored them?

Who was he to question the advice of his most trusted friend Chuck.

Jack: " Hmm alright, sure why not? "

Chuck: " Alrighty! Then it's Settled! Good Luck Partner! "

Plum: (" Stupid boy, hurry up and finish it already. ")

Although Jack was unaware of Plum's influence over him he had a growing suspicion in his heart that would grow every time his memories would be erased or tampered with.

His resistance to memory manipulation would grow as time went one forcing his mind and spirit to evolve like an infectious disease against mental attacks.

Plum was fully aware of this growing problem and to go around it she would have to use a different form of magic every time to erase his memories to keep Jack from becoming immune to her magic.

As a Dark Fairy to her beloved G.o.ddess she was privy to hundreds of spells related to memory manipulation so she did not have to worry about overuse.

However she failed to account for Jack's mind and spirit to become strengthened from such methods and evolve to a point of complete immunity to mental manipulation.

It was not because Plum was unqualified or unintuitive but because she had a negative biased against Jack and every other mortal creature she came across.

Plum could be considered incredibly racist to all mortal beings, after all she was an immortal rare physically and magically superior creature to most other's who ranked high tier in most of the mortal realms.

What reason would she have too view others who were ranked below her tier as anything but trash.

Plum was a sheltered and unnatural Fairy with an evil alignment, only holding love in her wicked little heart for her beloved G.o.ddess.

Plum underestimated mortal beings like Jack and did not believe him capable of becoming anything grander than a pile of s.h.i.+t when compared to herself.

Viewing mortal creatures as primitive and useless she had low expectations for Jack to ever grow beyond her calculations.

Plum simply made the oversight to not consider this possibility at all, before she ended communications with Jack, she influenced his desire to kill Gyrom.

When Chuck's voice faded into his mind, Jack had the sudden urge to kill Gyrom immediately.

It was an unnatural urge to kill that went against his desire to inflict pain upon Gyrom.

Despite this Jack was still dead set on hurting him as much as possible.

Remembering Chuck's words instead of Curb stomping Gyrom's head into a mushy red paste he opted for a slow and deliberate decapitation.

Jack crouched down beside Gyrom who was still trying desperately to move, shaking his head violently in a futile attempt to force his broken limbs.

His broken body could only twitch at his command, when he looked up to see Jack crouched naked beside him with a wide toothy evil smile plastered across his face, Gyrom's heart stopped.

Gyrom was frozen in fear he was just barely still clinging on to life and still hoped that his luck would save the day like it had before in such hopeless situations.

His hope was quickly shattered by Jacks next words as he laid down in a puddle of his own blood and filth dying slowly.

Jack: "heh-heh Time To Die You Old f.u.c.k."

Jack activated his Blue Claws and with his index and middle fingers entwined he created a small blue claw blade to slice Gyrom's head off.

When Jack brought the two fingers close to his neck, Gyrom began to shake and struggle wildly with all his might, he did not want to die, he was not ready to die!

Gyrom began to twitch his entire body forcing his limbs to react, but his actions only made his pain worse.

His breathing was a rampant wheeze and gurgle noise, that made a sick echo that reverberated in the dark caves...

Gorb.u.m: " Shhh! Did you gobs hear that? It sound like a beast! We Go Back Yes? "

Gyron: " No! That Noise… It sounded Like Father's! Quickly we must Hurry! "

Gyron: " Gorb.u.m lead the charge! "

Gorb.u.m: " Yes Gyron! Come Gobs Follow Me! "

Gorb.u.m: (" Why Me, Ah! Me Shoulda Had Better Excuse Stupid Gorb.u.m!, Stupid Gorb.u.m! ")

As Gorb.u.m was cursing at himself, he spoke up to the rest of the goblin warriors to follow his lead and charged at the direction of the noise.

He had been dragged along by one of Gyrom's Son's to lead the way, secretly cursing his bad luck today…

Gorb.u.m was the first to arrive and was horrified to see a naked Ja'Hack crouched beside his Elder's headless corpse.

Gyrom's head had rolled away beside Jack, who had just finished cutting it off when they arrived mere moments afterwards.

Jack turned to see Gorb.u.m standing with a large group of forty or so goblins crowded at the Cave tunnel.

They all stared at him with a mixture of emotions some were in shock others is complete disbelief and, horror and, only a select few looked enraged at him.

Jack: " Aww s.h.i.+t. "

Gyron: " Father! You! YOU b.a.s.t.a.r.d! KILL HIM!"

Gyron was the first to charge out at Jack in a fit of rage, he was his fathers favored child and as a result he was spoiled rotten by him.

Unlike the rest of his siblings Gyron cared for his father deeply.

Gyrom had planned to nurture Gyron into becoming his heir and raised him to establish an Elder Hierarchy in his floor level like the other Elders.

But unlike his fellow Elder's Gyrom could only mate with goblins in his harem for his dynasty over the floor level.

This limited his bloodline and potential options for his children and future something that frustrated Gyrom to no end.

Gyron however was the exception the sp.a.w.n of a Stray Female Demi Goblin and Gyrom.

Gyrom had come upon this female Demi goblin from another tribe by pure coincidence during one his hunts for the Fire Foxes.

He of course captured and forced her to bare his children at the first opportunity thanking his good luck along the way.

He wanted her to empower his bloodline with talented descendants to expand his domain and reach within the tribe.

Gyrom was not punished for keeping her because she had hailed from another Goblin tribe in the Dark Forest so he was free to do as he pleased with her.

But soon after her first litter had been born she committed suicide by biting her tongue off.

Gyron was lucky enough to inherit his mother's special skill unlike the rest of his siblings in the litter.

His siblings Gyro a standard male warrior and Grya the female warrior were among the group tossed aside for being born as plain and mundane as any other goblin.

This created resentment and distance among the siblings who all wanted the attention and love of there cold and cruel father.

Gob.u.m: "Gyron No!"

Gorb.u.m rushed at Gyron tackling him to the ground shouting at the other goblins to quickly hold him down.

Jack: " Yo- "

Before Jack could finish his sentence he blacked out without warning, to him it felt like an instant moment of deep sleep.

But before Jack's consciousness was snapped back into reality less than a minute of real time had pa.s.sed.

During his blackout his entire body was shrouded in a bright yellow light that turned red before disappearing into thin air revealing Jacks new form.

Many of the Goblin Warriors looked on at Jack with amazement and wonder before bowing down to greet there new Elder by right.

All except for Gorb.u.m and the few goblin warriors who were still holding Gyron down as he screamed curses and resisted wildly.

For them to witness the birth of a red goblin was truly something the average goblin would see maybe once in every ten or twenty lifetimes among their tribe.

When Jack returned from his blacked out state he felt different somehow when he looked down to check his body he immediately noticed the abnormality.

The Blue Screen appeared before him.

-----------------------------

Jack: "Huh, neat."

When he closed the screen he continued to look down at his new body in utter shock.

His Mustard Yellow skin had turned into a vibrant Ketchup Red color and he could feel the familiar sensation of hair on his head.

He patted his head to confirm unlike before Jack did not have a Mohawk instead it was now a long straight black cut that reached down to his upper back.

His glowing red eyeb.a.l.l.s had turned green like Gyrom's that s.h.i.+ned with a malevolent l.u.s.ter.

Jack had also grown in height along with his muscle and body ma.s.s.

He now stood at around 4.10ft tall and weighed at about 280 pounds.

Jack had mixed emotions about becoming what he described to be as a super buff red goblin dwarf.

His large nose and brows adjusted with his height and grew even thicker giving him a fiercer and uglier appearance than before.

Jacks spine had painfully contorted and s.h.i.+fted to give him a more manly and bulkier physical bone structure.

His curved spine and broad shoulders were but a few of the changes caused by his bones growing thicker.

His teeth had grown in number becoming longer and very sharp giving his mouth the appearance of a shark's.

Jack's Shark like mouth was unique to him, this bizarre trait was a side effect of evolving with the Goblin Cannibal skill.

But by far the most drastic changes were his limbs and the absurd muscle growth.

Jack: (" Jesus f.u.c.king Christ! My arms and legs! ")

Jack thought to himself as he inspected his beefy limbs, they were huge and thick.

He felt that his new change would give someone like Chun Li and Zangief a run for their money.

Jack: (" If anyone from my old world saw me they would think I overdosed on steroids. ")

Everything from my neck to my feet had grown bulkier and were covered in muscles.

Jack: (" Even my three inch d.i.c.k had become a monster growing three times larger! What the f.u.c.k!" )

In all honesty this change was too bizarre for me to take in, I felt dizzy just thinking about my new appearance it made my head hurt.

I had so many questions, one being how would I even maintain this physique.

I was thirteen when I became a goblin I have never seriously worked out a day in my life, and I had no plans to start now either.

Jack wondered if he would get fat if he just continued on normally with his new life.

Jack: (" I mean eventually overtime it would become flabby and shrink right? Maybe my body could return back to a more normal shape… I hope!? " )

I only ever practiced to play baseball and to ride my bike for exercise.

As someone who had been accustomed to a light and small physique his entire life.

To just suddenly become a hulking ma.s.s of muscle and flesh was just too much of a drastic change to calmly process it all at once.

My arms and legs felt heavy my body weighed a ton and I felt really slow but the strength in my hands and feet felt amazing.

I felt like I could bench press a person in half with my bare hands alone or lift up a car.

Of Course this feeling was greatly exaggerated, Jack had only reached the physical peak of the red goblin race.

This trait was due to his evolution with Blue Claws a skill that allowed Jack to access the strength of the Blue Demon Bear.

Luckily for Jack his body and muscles were maintained by his new evolution so he would not have to worry about them ever growing any larger or smaller.

Jack's new natural strength without the use of his Blue Claws Skill was something that could rival or outdo most of the professional athletes or strongman of his old world.

Jack decided to test out his new skill Cannibal Collector on the severed head of Gyrom.

But before he could try it out he remembered about the army of goblins standing by.

Jack laughed at himself internally about how he could forget such an important threat and presence.

He was still shocked and preoccupied by the changes he had just experienced to really notice them.

When he saw them all bowing towards him except for a few, he gave them an odd look of curiosity Jack had stopped paying them any attention after his blackout and was oblivious to his new Elder position.
