I blame zuki_chan, Jean and others for increasing my fascination with Pokey. Not my favorite character, but I'd be lying through my teeth if I said he wasn't one of the best villains ever. *______* That, and I've come to really like Gyiyg/Pokey. You can blame Morphine for that. XD That said, have a fun little ficlet based off the challenge word catharsis. Enjoy my pretties!

As much as it disgusted him, Geigue had to admit it was a clever trick. He had carried the boy this far, and catered to Pokey's need and want for more. When Pokey was alone, he embraced him from his shadow. The eldest Minch brother was unlike the other filthy Earth People he'd known, and shared many of his ideals in common. He was cunning, dissatisfied with this lowly life, apathetic and betrayed by his own family. Aloysius and Lardna offered nothing to their son, and as for Geigue, Maria had faded into a disdained memory once George turned his back to him. But now, Pokey's parents would suffer. Just as George had become a juicy string of tendons by his own hand, the alien overlord would keep Pokey all to himself, forever and ever.

Should Pokey get out of hand, he would be disposed of quickly. Yet despite having purged the goodness of himself, Geigue (now Giygas) could never bring himself to do it. And now look what happened! It hurts...! It hurrrrrrrrrts...! I... tru...st...ed... ... y...o...u... TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR!

George all over again. And Maria. A melody he couldn't bear.

But he loved Pokey for this. It meant the boy had surpassed him, the Cosmic Destroyer, of pure unadulterated evil. Yes, it was true he used him as a tool. But that only proves it! And Pokey knew. When Giygas wasn't stabilized by the Devil's Machine, he was a blubbering red mass of static and stupid as an embryo. It was then Giygas was allowed to contemplate his fate, his decisions, without being muddled by hate and despair and ecstasy. Best of all, Pokey cared for nothing but power. And Giygas himself IS power. Every so often, during his world conquest, Pokey would visit him. Here in the Devil's Machine, they were allowed to do anything they want, to grin and become one and crush the world in their fist. When Earth was gone, this Purgatory built for the two of them would exist as their entire planet.

This was Pokey's plan, Giygas's plan, their plan. Their catharsis.

It would become reality.
