The Littlest Ninja (Rottmnt)

Screwball's Obession

Yelling, screaming and banging come from the rowdy inmates desperately trying to escape their cells, but there was one certain prisoner that was uncomfortably quiet.

by Cast - The Nightmare Before Christmas and Danny Elfman

I think he's finally cracked
I think he's finally cracked
Don't think he's sanity will ever come back

Some prisoners whisper quietly so the guards won't hear them it had been weeks since Screwball had attacked that guard and thrown into solitary confinement

He's all alone in there
Locked and inside

Never says a word hope he hadn't died
I think he's finally cracked
I think he's finally cracked

Prison guards pass by a stone door with bars on the doorway as two guards stand opposite of each other guarding it

Screwball walks back and forth on the ceiling tapping his chin with his finger in deep thought

Questions are buzzing in my skull
Will it let me be? I can not tell
There's so many things I cannot grasp
When I think I got it and then last
Though my claws it does slip
Like burning wood sparking a firey grip

Something's here I'm not quite getting
Though I try, I keep forgetting
Like a memory long since past
Here in an instant, gone in a flash
What does it mean?
What does it mean?

He does a back flip off the ceiling landing perfectly on his feet onto the ground

In this brain I have to hack
A secret waiting to be cracked

Screwball knocks on the front of his head trying to make his brain focus and give him a sigh, a memory something!

The unknown confuses me so
Confound it all, I hate it though

Simple objects, nothing more
But something's hidden through a door
Though I do not have the key

Screwball suddenly remembered something, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out the purple like cloth that he's kept all these years

Something's there I cannot see
What does it mean?
What does it mean!?

He shakes the cloth lightly out of frustration of not being to remember why he has it

What does mean?

Hmm...

Screwball thinks for a second and then gets an idea, he pulls on his long elf like ear stretching it and letting go snapping, his eyes spin like a movie projector he blinks and slides shows appear all around him with motion pictures

It was his memories

I looked though this memories so many times
So many regrets and so many crimes

Screwball sweeps though the memories looking for a certain one that could give him a clue

I looked though my brain and though my heart
My skull's so full, it's tearing me apart
As often as I've see them, something's wrong
So hard to put my demon finger on

Or perhaps it's really not as deep
As I've been led to think
Am I trying much too hard?

He turns to see a tiny slide in the corner of his eye he moves the ones in front of it out of the way as he holds it in the palm of his hand

It was a frozen screenshot of his memories of Baron Draxum one of the many times he experimented on him

Screwball squints his eye looking closer, he takes out the piece of cloth and compares it to the memory

And that's when he saw it

A piece of Draxum's armor looked exactly what he was holding in his hand

Of course! I've been too close to see
The answer's right in front of me
Right in front of me
It's simple really, very clear
Like music drifting in the air
Invisible, but everywhere
Now that I can finally see it

I just can't believe it

Screwball starts to stump backwards slowly

Draxum

A man he trusted

A man who he thought could help him

Used him

Betrayed him

Screwball growls angrily as he clutched his fists shaking

Now that I've looked though Draxum schemes
He's not slick as he may seem
He thinks torturing peoples fun?
That shouldn't happen to anyone!

Screwball swipes all the memories out of the way focusing on the one of Draxum's face as he stomped towards it getting more anger with each step he took

Not anyone at all, especially me
My time for revenge will come you'll see
Soon it'll be his time
He'll pay for all his crimes!
I'll bet I'll make him beg too

Screwball pulls back his fist that was now engulfed in flames and punched the memory, it disappears making him punch the wall leaving a dent of his fist in the aftermath

And that's exactly what I'll do!!

Screwball takes his fist out of the wall cracks an evil smiles with his demon red eyes as he started to laugh manically

The guards outside his cell just rolled their eyes figuring that man inside has finally gone insane

He in fact was insane

With vengeance
