Since I got to go to a "Haunted Hallway" (I won't reveal too many details but I'm sure some people in New Jersey should understand) I thought I'd get into the Halloween spirit! So until now (meaning that I started typing at 10/28/08) until Halloween I'll add a new chapter to this so no other one of my fanfics will be updated until 11/01/08. This takes place before The Ultimate Ability.
The day started out normal. The sun shone brightly which didn't seem so Halloween like since it was that day, so everyone couldn't wait until the night. Everything was normal until Dedede and Escargon drove in and announced to everyone "I'm hosting a haunted castle tonight and everybody's invited! Come tonight wearing a costume 'they'll soak up the blood, hehe'!" Fumu crossed her arms while Bun and Kirby jumped excitedly. "He's up to something, I can feel it" Fumu told to the two, who seemed to ignore her and ran to the castle to get their costumes. She just walked back, trying to predict Dedede's scheme.
In Fumu and Bun's room they were trying out their costumes. Fumu dressed up as a black cat with a bell necklace around her neck, she even had face paint. Bun dressed as a vampire complete with fake fangs. Kirby dressed in a green dragon costume with red horns and an arrowhead tail (if you read Ultimate Ability this should ring some bells). "Poyo! Poyo!" Kirby seemed excited about the Haunted Castle as it was called. Memu called out from outside the room "We're supposed to be outside while the castle gets decorated. Are you three finished?" "Yeah mom!" The two siblings replied as the three left. While walking through the castle hall Fumu noticed Meta Knight walking by with his eyes glowing a crimson red, something was getting on his nerves. Sword and Blade on the other hand were stifling back their laughter. She decided not to ask and kept walking.
Night came quickly and everyone gathered outside the castle, whispering amongst themselves about how excited they are about the Haunted Castle. Fumu, Bun, and Kirby as well as Lololo and Lalala, dressed as a bat and butterfly respectively, were right in front. The two siblings' parents were called in earlier to help out with the hallway so it was just the five of them. "What's taking them so long to get this stupid thing started?!" Tokkori, dressed as a capon (this is a joke cause a capon is a castrated rooster LOL!), angrily called out. Escargon, who was wearing a costume of the Pokémon Magukargo (Magcargo), replied back "Hold your feathers, c(expletive)! Now, everyone come in small groups of five and wait for the tour guide!" I don't need to remind anyone who are the first five, don't I? Well, they entered in, Fumu the only one really prepared for anything.
The five entered in and were told to wait by Parm, who was dressed as Frankenstein. "I'll be your tour guide. Hope you kids have fun!" He said as he led them down to the third room from the entrance. He opened the door and gestured for them to enter, which all of them except Fumu entered excitedly. The room was dark. That was the first thing they noticed. A low growl reverberated from the walls. They looked around but all they saw was darkness. Something grabbed Fumu's shoulder, which she jumped back and saw that it was Sword dressed as Ice Dragon. "I look pathetic, don't I?" he asked. "Sword! Don't ruin this!" Blade whispered. The five looked around for Blade but he jumped up and screamed, surprising the five. He was dressed up as Fire Lion (he's not on fire by the way!). Kirby seemed a bit confused by the costumes, but he jumped happily after recognizing the two. They walked to the back of the room until they heard the growl again. They turned around and saw gleaming yellow eyes. They owner of the eyes jumped up from the table and 'roared'. The five jumped back and fell on top of each other. Sword and Blade started chuckling… from sheer irony. The yellow eyed figure was really Meta Knight! Without his mask! In a Wolfwrath costume! "I'm gonna kill that Dedede son of a b(expletive)…" Meta Knight half mumbled. The difference with the costume were the addition of markings (like Amaterasu from Okami), which were white. He even had face paint to make his face the same reddish pink with a black nose. Meta Knight started mumbling before jumping back on the table and preparing to leap again, apparently he's also good at growling. The five decided not to laugh until they were out of the room, which they started tearing from all the laughing. Kirby could've sworn he heard Meta Knight scream something and repeated it. "F(expletive)!" The others looked to Kirby and told him "Don't say that!"
In the throne room, which was one of the rooms the sightseers are not allowed to enter, he called Holy Nightmare Co. and was greeted by Customer Service. "So you want those 'ghosts' now?" Dedede, dressed as the Pokémon Enperuto (Empoleon), smiled evilly before telling him "Send them here now". The transporter flashed as the demon beasts arrived.
Here's a recap on the costumes, this will be an important note later. Only the important costumes will be noted.
Fumu = Black Cat
Bun = Vampire
Kirby = Dragon
Lololo = Bat
Lalala = Butterfly
Escargon = Magukargo
Sword Knight = Ice Dragon
Blade Knight = Fire Lion
Meta Knight = Wolfwrath (with white Amaterasu style markings, so I suggest finding a picture of the wolf goddess)
Dedede = Enperuto
Those are the costumes you really need to pay attention to, you'll see why later… R&R!
