Chapter 1: Halloween
Crisp autumn leaves were drifting with the dry breeze. The sun was starting to fall behind the horizon in the far distance. Orange and pink streaks were painted on a golden sky. October 31 was the date. Halloween was just a few hours away. Disguised demons and monsters as far as the eye could see. Although Halloween was not yet here, the preparations were already made a few days before.
Unlit jack-o-lanterns decorated the inside and outside of the Brawl Mansion. Soon they would be lit. Fake cobwebs and plastic spiders covered almost every corner and window. But that was just the overall look of the hallways and the shell of the mansion. Most of the brawlers decorated outside their own door or inside their room. Everyone's room was furnished differently depending on their personality and thoughts. Visitors were also allowed to visit because it was a holiday.
But out of all visitors that were possible, there was one completely different from the rest. A teenager wearing a clown's mask knocked on the first door of the mansion. Black and white were the overall color of her clothes. She held no container of the sort in her hands even though it was Halloween. The upside down frown etched on her masked was large and mischievous.
The sun was finally hidden from view and the moon made it's appearance. It was the largest it's ever been. It was a full moon.
_ (?'s POV) _
An enormous edifice casted a shadow larger than the mansion itself. Silver moonlight outlined the mansion making it glow eerily. The Brawl Mansion however did not seem as it looked on the outside. Brawlers were celebrating Halloween with a party in the huge cafeteria. None of them were wearing costumes, however they were wearing different colored clothing and make-up. Servings of gore and other disturbing things that most would not consider as food, were distributed for dinner. There was still pasta and ordinary deserts for those with weak hearts.
Besides the fact that the gore was actually fake candy. People saw it as gore because of how detailed they were. Blood was cherry sauce or kool-aid while squishy organs were usually made out of candy gummies. Most of the visitors were there enjoying the party as well. I however was not that excited. I was waiting for the best part, trick-or-treating.
"Hey are you having fun?" A blue hedgehog asked me.
"Not really." I answered unenthusiastically.
"Is there something wrong?" He persisted.
"No Sonic. I'm just waiting for the main event." I responded sounding annoyed.
"Uh, okay. It seems like you already know my name. So can you tell me yours?" I saw him stare at me with a funny look through my mask.
"Sure my name's D&L." I said almost dully.
"Nice to meet ya." We shook hands. "Well try to enjoy the party anyways." He said as he left me and walked to a table where Ness was sitting at.
Once again I was left alone at my table. It didn't bother me though. All I was waiting for was Halloween. The clock pinned onto the wall above the grand entrance filled the whole mansion with it's ringing. Finally. It's Halloween. Brawlers were pouring out the grand doors like maple syrup. A few visitors were left behind and confused.
But they quickly came to the senses and copied the rest who have already left. The cafeteria was now vacant. Well almost vacant. I was still here of course. With a quick snap of my fingers a black shopping bag with the brawl logo drawn onto it appeared on the clean table in front of me. The brawl logo was drawn onto the paper bag with silver markers and chalk. I checked inside to make sure the contents weren't misplaced.
Petite little boxes wrapped with jet black wrappings were the contents. Someone could almost say that they all looked the same if they overlook the ribbons and name tags that is. The ribbons in majority, were the colors red, orange, and white. A rainbow of different name tags were presented on each box. None of them however, had the same color. Some were multi-colored while some were plainly a solid color. After checking to make sure all 32 boxes were there.
"No mistakes," I muttered outloud to myself.
"No mistakes what?" A person next to me asked.
"Ah Mario. How would you like a present?" I said a bit out of character. It was just an act so I would be fine.
"But it's-a not Christmas." Mario replied.
"Well I'm giving out presents instead of candy. Don't you think that's better? It's like giving you a box full of goods and candy instead of just throwing candy into someones trick-or-treat bag." I contradicted his response.
"Well I guess it's okay." Mario said as he scratched the back of his head confused by my explanation.
I gave him a present like I said I would. It's ribbon was red and so was the name tag. There was no name on the red name tag however. But there was a white circle with a white letter 'M' in the center. Mario looked at the box puzzled.
"It was made specially for you." I said smiling behind my mask.
"Thank you. Err what's your name?" Mario asked shamefully for he did not know my name.
"Don't feel bad I'm a just a visitor so you shouldn't know. My name is D&L." I said encouragingly.
"Thank-a-you D&L." He said feeling better. Afterwards he started to walk back towards his room.
The first step of my operation is coming into effect. I chuckled light-hearted. This Halloween will be the most memorable of the rest these brawlers have encountered.
(A/N I actually tried to get this done by Halloween but I'm extremely late. Oh well at least it was posted. The only character I own in this entire story is D&L. I will write a profile on her later. The time I submitted this story is somewhere after 12 am. [ironic for a horror fic] The other characters in this story belongs to the creator of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. A bit of a warning this fanfic will get violent in the following chapters.)
