Me: Hey, I got a new story, and it's actually a scary one, well as scary as I can make it. It's after Belly of the Beast and after the hyper force arrives back on Shuggazoom. But enough ideal chit-chat, on with the scare.

The Trouble Begins

It was a normal day in Shuggazoom, except for one thing... it was Halloween. The hyper force was enjoying this little scare fest, except Sprx. Sprx hated this holiday, but he pretended that it didn't scare him, just annoyed him.

"I don't see what the big deal is." he said.

"Aw, come on Sprx, you don't find it a little scary?" asked Chiro.

"Nope."

"You mean you don't even like getting candy from the citizens of Shuggazoom?" questioned Otto.

"Maybe, depends on the candy."

"Come now, Halloween is just a holiday where people dress up in scary costumes and go around either scaring people or getting candy. There is absolutely nothing to fear, unless you're Sprx and a giant chicken who won't admit he's scared." explained Gibson.

"I am not scared, Brainstrain. What about all you? I bet you're scared, too." Sprx insisted.

"Na."

"Nope."

"Absolutely not."

"Yay I believe you like I believe Otto will clean his room without eating any sweets."

Nova was listening to all this while reading in her chair, and was getting very annoyed. She slammed the book shut, getting everyone's attention, "If you are quite finish, I'd like to say that it's not bad to fear something, as long as you know how to approach. Like a wise man once said, 'There is nothing to fear but fear itself'."

Sprx chuckled, "And this is coming from a girl who is scared of a little snow."

"At least I admit that something scares me. Maybe not outloud, but I do admit it to myself."

Sprx shrugged, "Maybe it's just because the four of us are just not afraid and you are."

Nova resisted the urge to punch him and went up her tube to the bedroom level. She was ticked at his arrogance, so ticked that she didn't realize where she was walking until she crashed into Antauri.

"Nova, is something wrong?" he asked calmly.

"Yes, there is. The others refuse to admit that they fear something. I know it's silly, but it really annoys me." Nova exclaimed.

"It is not wise to say you fear nothing when you do fear something. Even you have admitted that you are fearfully of snow."

"I may not fear it as much as I used to, but I still hate it."

That's when Jinmay, who was staying in the robot with them, came out of her room.

"Hey, you two. I couldn't help but over hear you talking and I thought I'd let you know that some people are uncomfortable admitting their fears to other people."

Nova sighed, "I know, it's just so annoying."

Seeing how frustrated the yellow monkey was, Jinmay decided to change the subject, "Hey, Nova, how's that training of yours coming?"

"What training?" asked Antauri.

Nova smiled sheepishly, "Do you remember those pictures Chiro showed you of me when we were in the Dark One's stomach?"

"When you were five times your normal size? Yes, I remember that."

"Well, I found out that I can change between this size and my larger size. It took a lot of my energy the first time but now…"

"Now she can go about five hours in her enlarged form." finished Jinmay.

"Interesting." replied Antauri, and then he asked, "Anyone want tea?"

"Sure." The two girls replied.

Later, in the command center

Jinmay and Nova were sitting in their chairs, sipping some tea that their silver companion and so gracefully made them. Antauri had retreated back to the kitchen to try a new veggie-shake recipe that he thought Otto might actually drink. It was only noon and the boys (excluding Antauri) had decided to go check out any Halloween specials at the shops downtown.

"You know what would be funny?" Nova asked out of the blue.

"What?"

"Pulling a prank on the others, just to show them that Halloween is more than just dressing up and getting candy."

Jinmay thought about it, "You're right it would be funny. I would like to see the look on Sparky's face when he gets scared silly."

They laughed at the thought until a shadow covered them. Then a hand covered their mouths, causing the girls to drop their cups. Both cups shattered on contact with the ground before the girl's visions went black.


A dark room was lit by a single lamp as three dark figures stood in a circle in the center of the room. One of them, a female, spoke.

"The plan's in place and the bait is set. Everyone know their jobs?"

The other two nodded.

"Good, then let's spread the true spirit of Halloween, starting with the non-believers. They have provoked the spirits and the spirits want revenge. And we are just the creatures to do it."

The three laughed, the sound echoing around the room, sending chills down the spine of anyone who heard.

Me: Tell me if I'm any good at scary, cause I'm not convincing myself. Read and review.
