Frankenweenie Steampunk fic WIP

Frustrated and exhausted, Toshiaki sat in the office of his airship. He was thinking about what to do for his next project. "When the hell is something going to pop up...." he muttered under his breath. He then heard a crash outside, then a bunch of yelling. Toshiaki stood up and ran quickly to see what was going on. Turn out that it's Edgar "E" Gore all drunk and throwing bottles at Toshiaki's ship. Couldn't this night get any better for him? "Get the fuck out of here, sham!" He yelled out, throwing his cane at him. Thank God he missed, but it was a really close shot.

Edgar looked at Toshiaki disgustingly. "You missed, you… Coward" shouted Edgar as he swayed back and forth. Edgar was trashed, he couldn't stand still for two seconds with out tilting or falling. Edgar grabs a bottle from his coat, which he stole from the bar, and opens it. "If you want me to go away, why not do it yourself, you baffoon!" He opens up the bottle, drinking it really fast, and toss the bottle at Toshiaki. Luckly, Edgar was so drunk he missed completely.

Toshiaki growled at his statement. He ran out of his ship to retrieve his cane, and grabbed Edgar by the collar of his coat. He held up the end of his cane to Edgar's neck and gritted his teeth, whispering "If I see you again in this spot, I will kill you. With no hesitation." Toshiaki's grip on Edgar got tighter and tighter, and he looked at Edgar with his brown eyes, filled with anger and frustration. Edgar stared at him with fear in his eyes, he knew Toshiaki would really kill him if he didn't listen to him. However, Edgar isn't the brightest person, especially when he has alcohol in his system. "Kill me? Kill me!? You wouldn't dare…," he hiccuped, "You could nearly kill a fly let alone me. What'cha going to do with me? Rip out my intestine?" He laughed.

A devious grin grew on Toshiaki's face. "My God, Edgar. You are very good at guessing." He spoke softly, but you can hear the anger and slyness right through him. Toshiaki threw him to the ground and stepped on Edgar's chest, still holding the cane at his neck. Edgar can see the bloodstains that is on the sharp knife end of Toshiaki's cane very clearly. "I will not kill  you or 'rip out your intestines' if you do one small thing for me."

Once Edgar saw the bloodstains on the knife, he knew he was in deep trouble. There were many things Edgar was afraid of, but death scared him the most. "W-What is it you want m-me to do", He questioned with fear in his voice. Knowing Toshiaki, it won't be good. His grin grew bigger, and his eyes were now filled with evil and deviousness. "I want you to get Victor Frankenstein, and Elsa Van Helsing to come with you to the alley where the bar is that you go to every single night of your useless life." Toshiaki explained. "If you do that one simple task I ask. I, in return, will not kill you. Or your precious Weird Girl."

"W-Weird Girl!?" he shrieked. Edgar loved Weird Girl secretly, she was the one person who truly understands him. If Toshiaki kills her, he would have no one and continue his lonely life without any happiness. "B-bring Victor and Elsa to the alley next to th-the bar I go to", he repeated as he backs away from Toshiaki's cane. "I… I'll being them! I'll bring them!" he shouted as he quickly gets up and walks away. He turns to Toshiaki and pleaded before he disappeared in the fog, "Just please don't hurt Weird Girl."
"Perfect." He spoke softly, yes slyly. "Have them there by tomorrow night." Toshiaki turned to his ship, but before he walked back to it, he thought about something. "And one more thing, Edgar." he began. "If you tell anyone of my job of ripping out the intestines and abdomen of these prostitutes, you will not see the light of day ever again. In the boiler room. Is that clear?"

"D-don't worry, Toshiaki," he quickly replied, "My mouth is sh-shut." He slowly walks away, thinking of the horrible things Toshiaki would do to him if he ever revealed his dark secret.
His grin slowly disappears, and he clutches his cane very tightly. Toshiaki cursed under his breath and mumbled. "I swear to the lord and Jesus Christ, if he tells anyone. There will be inhumane consequences held against him..." He walks back towards his ship, thinking about tomorrow night.

Edgar swayed left and right as he walked through the dark alleyways, thinking hard on how to trick Victor and Elsa into following him. He grabs yet another stolen bottle from within his coat, drinking it as he was plotting. Minutes passed, Edgar hummed drunkly and started talking to himself. "Wait a minute," he began as he sipped his drink, "I don't have to think this now. I have...I have all day tomorrow d-during the day." He tried taking another sip from his bottle, but it was empty. "Why must all good thing have to go so fast," he mumbled as he tossed his bottle. All Edgar can do now is stare at the stars and wait till sunrise for he will start Toshiaki's evil plan.

Many hours have passed, as Toshiaki was laying his head on his desk asleep. He must've had all night thinking about what he's gonna do for a new project. But for tonight as well. "That homeless sham better not screw up my plans. Or else he'll be under a lot of suffering..."He gritted his teeth in the amount of anger he is in. Toshiaki gripped his cane, making leather-y squeaking noises that are coming from his gloves. "But we shall see about tonight..."

The sun started to peak over the horizon, Edgar watched in horror for it was time to get Victor and Elsa. "Sunrise? Already!?" He took off his hat and scratched his head. He was really nervous about the favor Toshiaki wanted from him. Victor and Elsa were people we would be with and they were nice to him, but Toshiaki's threat about harming Weird girl was something Edgar would try to avoid. He doesn't want her to be hurt, then he would feel as if it was his fault. As he continued to watch the sun rising, he couldn't help but feel a bit calm. Could it be the flames of the sun that is soothing him, or just the thought that if he pulls of Toshiaki's dirty deed right, Weird girl would be safe. Who know, all Edgar has to worry about now is where to find Victor and Elsa.

"What you're doing, is wrong. And you know it." Nassor spoke, in his usually serious tone. He was the co-captain and main mechanic/engineer of Toshiaki's crew. Even though he always gets beaten around by Toshiaki. Because of him, Nassor lost his left arm due to an accident while fixing the main engine a year ago. "And you think that I would care?" Toshiaki questioned him. "I'm a serial killer, for Lord's sake. And after these 4 years, I have never been caught by doing so." He was a serial killer, searching for as what they would call "Women of the night". Stabbing them with his cane, kidnapping them and killing them, ripping out their internal organs and abdomen, and so on! Toshiaki was a psycho, but no one knew it. In the day, he could easily pass off as an aristocrat. A selfish one too, but still an aristocrat. By night, he would just be this terrible and godawful murderer, looking for the most vulnerable of women and ending their lives.

"Something WILL happen to you tonight, this time! Then you'll be sorry about what you did and regret it all in the asylum!" Nassor started to raise his voice slightly, hoping that maybe Toshiaki will get it eventually. "Nassor, have I ever told you about what I do to people that get in the way?"

Meanwhile, Edgar searched high and low around the allyways of New Holland, but he couldn't find a single sign of Victor and Elsa. He checked dark places, the sewer, and even the market place, no success. "Bah! Where are they," he questioned himself, " I thought for sure they'd be here at the market place. There are a bunch of stuff here! Why wouldn't they be here!?" He took off his hat to scratch his head. Edgar thought about giving up the search, but the thought of Weird Girl being hurt by Toshiaki kept him motivated. He must not let Toshiaki hurt his love. As he continue to look for them, a huge exploding sound broke the peaceful silence of the Market place. Edgar turned to where that noise was coming from only to discover some black smoke coming from the other end of New Holland. Edgar stared at the smoke blankly for a while, then slapped himself in the face. "Of course!" He says as he started making his way to Victor Frankensteins Airship.

The explosion from the distance startled Toshiaki and Nassor. "What in the name of God was that!?" cried Weird Girl, who kicked the door open and came in running to the main control room where Toshiaki and Nassor were. She looked even more startled than both the men, her hair messed up, the surprised and startled look in here eyes. "It must be from Victor's ship, that's on the other side of the city." Nassor responded calmly to the young woman who was in shock. "Oh....alright then...my apologies for raising my voice like that." She lowered her voice to her normal tone, fixed her hair, and straightened out her dress, then walked out. "Oh, and one more thing, Toshiaki." Toshiaki groaned a little bit, thinking that it's probably about her cat Mr. Whiskers again. "What is it, Madame Evans?" Weird Girl cleared her throught and spoke in her soft and monotone voice. "Mr. Whiskers says that you will get into a fight with another man soon....and very soon as well...." Toshiaki rolled his eyes in disbelief, thinking that she's might have gone a little mad this time. 

The thick black smoke filled the Frankenstein airship, Victor and Elsa opened many windows to clear up the ship. "Remind me to never upgrade our weapons inside the airship again," explained Victor to Elsa as he waved the smoke out the window. "I thought for sure it wouldn't explode," Victor looked around the room, "Well, not a huge explosion." Elsa looked at Victor with a concerned look. "It's alright. I doubt that explosion didn't grab anyone's atten..." Just before Elsa could finish her sentence a loud noise came from outside the airship. "Oh no," Victor muttered under his breath as he walked toward the window. "What is it, Victor?" "It's Edgar, I can notice that sound from anywhere." He poked his head out the window and saw Edgar looking up and waving at him. "Victor! Elsa! Can I talk to you guys?" Edgar shouted. Victor and Elsa looked at each other with a worried look. What does Edgar want with them?

Toshiaki looked out the window of control room, and noticed that Edgar has finally gotten to Elsa and Victor. His Cheshire-like grin grew upon his face, for as it seems that his plan is working. Weird Girl noticed Edgar outside as well, and crossed her arms. She can tell that something is up. "Is something going on, sir? As to you on why you are grinning like the madman you are." She questioned the shorter, oriental man. A suspicious look appeared on her face, as she was stroking Mr. Whiskers' fur. Toshiaki turned to Weird Girl, the grin slowly dissolving on his face. He spoke in his normal voice,  but she can sense the sinister and sly tone in it. "Nothing, my dear. Now leave, please. I need to talk to Nassor. Privately" 

"Hmph, as you wish." Weird Girl started towards the door, but stopped. She turned her head slightly to the two. "And one more thing, you two; try not to make love in this room. It's awfully disturbing to hear moans from you." Both Toshiaki and Nassor looked at each other in embarrassment, and disgust, blushing in a deep shade of red. Weird Girl gave a tiny smirk at them, and made her way out. 

Victor came out of his airship to first greet Edgar. "Edgar... Edgar what are you doing here?" questioned Victor. "Well, you see... "Edgar began as he rubs the side of his neck and trying hard to avoid eye to eye contact. "S-something bad is happening around the alleyway. I need you and Elsa to follow me tonight in it so you can see for yourselves." "Something bad is happening in the alleyway?" Elsa said as she came out of the airship, holding her special wrench. "Like, what kind of stuff is happening?" Edgar looked around puzzled yet he seemed as nervous. He needed to think up of a lie, something that seemed realistic as well. "Well...There is this...." Edgar looked around trying really hard to avoid eye contact with both Victor and Elsa. "There is this ... Case of .... Case of..." Edgar soon became aggravated and said, "You know what, it's so horrible that I can't explain it." Edgar's mind was blank, so he was worried that Victor and Elsa would ignore him. But, shockingly, Victor patted his back and said, "I guess I understand. A bunch of horrifying events has been going on in New Holland." Victor looked at the sky then at Edgar. "The sun won't come down after a while. So, I guess you can come in the ship. I can get you a drink if you want." Edgar nodded excitedly. "Yes, please!" The plan is going perfectly, Victor and Elsa are going to follow Edgar tonight. Which meant that Weird Girl will not be harmed.

As many hours passed by, it was finally nightfall. This was it. Toshiaki was going to put his plan into full action. "I will be leaving now. Do not get in the way or I will stick both of you in the boiler room and let you melt to death." He said as he took his top hat from his desk, and puts it on. Grabbing his cane, he swiftly dashed outside into the filthy streets of night time New Holland. Weird Girl gently stroked Mr. Whiskers' fur, a suspicious look on her face. "I do not care if I will melt to death, Toshiaki needs to stop this." Boy did she sound serious. More serious that she would ever be, actually. "I wholeheartedly agree, Madame. We must follow them to the alleyway." Nassor walked over to the window, noticing a coach outside. A small smirk curled upon his lips, as he looked over to Weird Girl. "And I have found something that will get us there fast." Weird Girl smirked as well, nodding. "Perfect." She rushed over to her room in the ship, grabbing her parasol and hat. While she was taking her things, Nassor went over to Toshiaki's work room, and took out his pistol from behind one of the cabinets, putting it in his holster. "Come along now, Monsieur!" Weird Girl called, as she was rushing out to where the stagecoach is. Nassor followed behind her, as he put his goggles on. 

Tonight is the night, Edgar was about to take Victor and Elsa to the alleyway. "Come in guys! We have got to go!" urged Edgar. "We're right behind you, Edgar." Victor and Elsa followed Edgar throughout the alleyways. Elsa couldn't help herself but feel a very cold chill down her spine. 'Something's not right...' thought Elsa. The both of them stayed behind Edgar until he mumbled, "We're here." Victor and Elsa went in front of Edgar and observed the alleyway. It was empty, there was nothing here to observe. Why did Edgar bring them there in the first place? Before any of them started to go off on him, Edgar walked slowly walked backwards. He too can sense something bad is really going to happen.

As Toshiaki made his way to the alleyway, jumping on one building to the other, he noticed the stagecoach going by. He looked down to see that Nassor and Weird Girl was on it. Toshiaki gritted his teeth in anger, and more furious than ever. "Those bastards! I told them to not get in the way! Well, if they want to suffer the consequence, then I will grant them their death wish." He swiftly followed the coach.

"S-slow down, Nassor! Please!" Weird Girl cried while hanging on to the side of her seat for dear life. "We have to get to the alleyway before Toshiaki does!" He whipped one of the horses with its reins, for it to go faster. After a short while of them getting to the alleyway, they finally made it, catching up with Victor, Elsa and Edgar.
