VILLAINS

Torment II

SUMMARY

Paul Dragon gets a cyborg arm from Joseph Strange. Paul asks Malcolm to be his best man but Malcolm declines the invitation which upsets Maxine. Meanwhile, Torment eats a guy. Paul asks William Jonson to be his best man and he agrees, correctly guessing that he wasn’t Paul’s first choice. Angel helps Alex pick out a wedding gown. Malcolm tracks down Torments mother, Mrs. Torrence, thinking she might know where Torment is hiding. Malcolm overhears him in the bathroom taking a bubble bath but when he enters the room he finds that Torment has fled through an open window. Paul Dragon’s wedding day arrives. All the guests are in attendance except Malcolm, who’s running late. Torment had tracked Malcolm to his home. He pulls Maxine out through a window. He’s upset that Malcolm had tracked him to his home. As Paul says his vows Torment and Malcolm Dragon are in a bloody brawl. Malcolm saves Maxine but Torment tears into him, at one point choking him with his own intestines. When Torment’s mom interrupts the battle, asking her son what he’s doing, Malcolm splatters the demon and angel heads imbedded in Torment’s skull and Torment tumbles to the ground. Then Malcolm feints due to blood loss. Latser, he appears in a hospital, healing nicely. Maxine gives a quick look under the covers to make sure the boys are okay.
