Hey guys! Belated Happy Halloween!
Since you guys have been so supportive to me since I began TFS, I want to give you guys a little Halloween treat.
This is the Halloween saga of The Final Stand. This is during the early chapters of the real story, but I do believe that some, if not most of the authors who have submitted their OCs want to have their OCs shown in my story. Since I won't be able to update soon, I decided to show them here.
This is not a one-shot, this is also a multi-chap story. However, I'll only put around 4 or 5 chapters.
Enjoy reading!
PS: I own nothing, except Max, Christie, planet Antimony, the Hera Mountain Range, and most especially the numerous cups of chocolate fudge I had to eat to stay awake so I could write this...
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Of Good and Of Evil: All Hollow's Eve
Chapter 1
By: Periosha
The eerie gray sky of the temple was cold and damp. The very landscape drew the very essence of the hallow tradition of Halloween. The fifteen tutors had already risen from their slumber and awaited their pupils to pour into the hallway.
"Do you think they'll be able to handle a situation like this, my love?" Christie asked. Her face filled with inquiry and worry.
"Don't worry about it, Christy…" Max replied, his hazel brown eyes flickering a light silvery glow, "I'm quite sure they'll enjoy this kind of exercise."
"Humph, you're going to get them emotionally scarred, Seville…" Damien retorted from behind Max, making him sigh in response.
"It's bad enough that we've been giving them a hell's worth of training these past few weeks. But, are you certain they can handle this situation?"
"That's why WE are here, Damien…" Max replied, a sly grin on his face. "Trust me; this will be the best thing that could ever happen to them. They've been so bummed out from our training that my siblings and their girlfriends are beginning to miss Earth.
"Plus, the Nillas and the Thomases have never experienced Earthly traditions before, and we've been making them join in the traditions here on Antimony, it's time we give them a taste of how Earth would hold its festivities." Max then lifted his paw as he gazed deeply into his silver orb, feeling the auras of the twelve chipmunks that were quickly preparing themselves for the assembly.
Meanwhile, in one of the dormitories, the Thomases were getting ready for the assembly.
"Man, I wonder what the tutors want us to do this early in the morning?" Brandon wondered as he fixed his cerulean bracers on his arms. He began to fasten his black light armor on top of his mithril thread t-shirt and began to adjust the padding on his legs.
"I don't know…" Tyler replied, adjusting the lime-green elbow guard on his left arm. "They just told us it was important to get up early and get suited up for the assembly."
"I wish they'd let us eat first!" Cody whined across the room as he fitted his red-violet armor around his round body. "I haven't even eaten breakfast yet!" he then fitted the violet red padding for his arms and legs as he lulled his body on his bed, trying his hardest to fit the parts.
"Oh, Cody…" Tyler cooed as he patted his younger brother's shoulder. "Is food all that you ever think about?"
"Hey, you try being taken into an assembly without breakfast…" Cody retorted while fitting his gauntlets.
Tyler was about to respond when he felt his stomach growl. It growled so loud that all three brothers could hear it clearly. Tyler immediately blushed furiously as he held his arms around his stomach.
"See?" Cody remarked with a grin stamped on his face.
"Touché, little brother… you win this round" was all that Tyler could reply.
"Come on guys…" Brandon chimed in impatiently. "the faster we get this assembly done, the faster we can get to breakfast." Both munks nodded in agreement with their eldest brother, and they quickly scurried out of the dorm and waltzed down the hallway to the hunter's hall.
Meanwhile, in the dorm next to theirs, the Seville chipmunks were ecstatic with excitement.
"Can you believe it?" Alvin began yelling as he quickly put on his bright red suit, "our first Halloween here on Antimony! This is gonna be great!"
"I hope they have lots of food, oh, and LOTS and LOTS of CANDY!" Theodore agreed, rubbing his stomach as he began drooling to the thoughts of the mountains of candy that he began to imagine.
Simon could only roll his eyes in defeat as he began to equip his blue-gray suit.
"Remember you two…" Simon spoke as-a-matter-of-factly, "Max specifically wanted us to assemble at the hunter's hall at exactly sunrise. Let's hurry up and get this done with." He then walked out of the dorm and across the hallway.
"What's his problem?" Alvin asked himself, annoyed at his brother's attitude. Theodore's only response was a shrug of his shoulders as the two munks finished suiting up and left their dorm.
The chipettes had similar conversations in their respective dorms.
The Nillas were suiting up when they heard squealing from the dorm next door. Immediately, the three chipettes ran to their neighbors' dorm to investigate.
"What happened?" Celene screamed, worried that something horrible had occurred.
"Oh, it was a false alarm, Cell…" Brittany reassured, "we were just sharing some girl talk and hit a particular subject."
Celene breathed a sigh of relief as she began readjusting her hair.
"Well, next time don't scare us like that. You do know we sleep next door, okay?" she looked at them with an annoyed face.
"Promise…" Jeanette smiled, her lavender glasses shimmering through the dorm light.
"Will never happen again…" Eleanor finished, blushing lightly.
"Well, okay then…" Kayla grinned in reassurance
"Let's get going, shall we?" Felicia whispered, trying to get their attention.
"Right, we'd better go see what Christie would want us to do today anyway…" Brittany hung her head in defeat as she and her sisters adjusted their skin-tight suits as they made their way to the hunter's hall.
When all twelve munks met at the common room, each munk gave their respective counterpart a loving good morning hug and kiss. Each chipmunk gazing at the gorgeous chipette that loved him ever so much.
They shared their moment of fluffy passion when they were interrupted by a clanging of metal cleats on the floor.
Max and Christie walked into the room, all armored and clinging onto each other lovingly. The couple shared one short fuzzy kiss on the lips and lightly laughed with each other before turning to the six couples.
"Good morning to you all…" Max greeted solemnly.
"I trust that all of you had a good night's sleep?" Christie continued, her golden suit glowing brightly with her gorgeous emerald green eyes in the early morning light.
All twelve munks nodded in agreement and shivered as a cold wind entered the hall. The couples help onto each other lovingly, keeping the other warm as the wind continued to walk around the hall. When the wind had died down, the thirteen other tutors had arrived, with each tutor facing their respective pupil.
"Today…" Wendy spoke, "according to Earth customs, we will be celebrating the Earth tradition called "Halloween" as per Max's and Christie's request."
The Sevilles and Millers cheered with glee as they jumped around with excitement. The other six munk, on the other hand, were slightly bemused and looked at each other with confusion.
"Um, excuse me…" Felicia chimed in quietly, not wanting to be rude. "Um, just what is "Halloween?""
"Oh," Jeanette replied, a gleeful smile on her face, "Halloween is an even on Earth where kids go out and put on neat costumes that can either look really cute or really scary…"
"There are also tons of fun stuff to do on Halloween…" Brittany added, "There's bobbing for apples, haunted houses, playing pranks on your friends, but mostly your enemies, and most especially the Halloween Ball…"
"Don't forget trick-or-treating!" Eleanor finished, lightly giggling at the very thought.
All three chipettes laughed together, but the other six chipmunks were still confused.
"See…" Alvin cut in, "trick-or-treating is best part of Halloween…"
"It's when kids, as Jeanette had explained earlier, like to dress up in costumes to either look cool or look scary. But with trick or treating, you go from house to house, and call out to the owner saying "Trick or Treat!"" Simon added
"And the reward for asking is a ton of candy!" Theodore finished, throwing his arms up in the air.
"But this Halloween, however…" Max suddenly cut the conversation, "will be totally different than the ones we used to celebrate."
The six Earth-born chipmunks gasped in horror as Max's words entered their ears.
"Wait, different how?" Alvin inquired.
"Different in a way that all of you will never forget this day…" Vinny replied, her light-blue eyes boring their way into Alvin's amber ones.
"You see…" Ginny continued; her reddish-brown glasses beginning to fog as she exhaled. "The spirit realm here on Antimony reaches the peak of its power on this very day every year…"
"And it becomes so powerful that it opens up a gateway here on the mortal realm." Winnie finished, winking at Max.
"So you see…" Saul chimed in, as if on cue, "we all have something special, a kind of surprise, if you will." His maroon suit began to glow as he closed his amber eyes.
"And that surprise will really 'knock you off your feet'" Nathan continued, his forest green armor rippling as he held onto the hilt of his sword in his sword belt.
"Let's get this started then, shall we?" Peter grinned as the other tutors nodded in agreement.
Max and Christie led the group as they walked out of the hunter's hall.
"Ladies, take wing! Gentlemen, lift off!" Max commanded.
Immediately, all the chipettes let themselves free of the gravity around them, letting their eyes glow their signature colors as they lifted off the ground, taking flight. Christie was the first to fly out, followed by Brittany and Jeanette. The other chipettes followed in suit.
The chipmunks, on the other hand, extended their arms at chest level in front of them, and summoned their flight boards. The boards were created by their auras, their specifications varied depending on their creator's character. All but Jared and Peter had mounted onto their boards. Max took off ahead with Jared and Peter following suit, using their wind powers to fly. The other munks then followed afterwards.
"So, where are we off to?" Kayla asked her tutor.
"You'll see it soon enough, Kayla…" Winnie replied, "Just be a little patient."
Max and the chipmunks had caught up with the chipettes as they flew in unison. Like a disoriented flock of birds, they soared through the skies until they caught glimpse of a portal of some kind along the base of the Hera Mountain Range.
"What's that down there?" Simon asked, his eyes beginning to glow deep gray.
"Calm yourself Simon…" his tutor, Wendy, scolded "That is our destination. Come here, and stick close to me, we're about to make our descent."
Simon made no reply as he complied to his tutor's instructions. The calm and intellectual chipmunk recollected himself as Max had begun to usher everyone to descend.
When all twenty-seven munks had successfully landed, Max began to walk up to the portal. His silver-white suit glowed brilliantly as he approached the swirling vortex. His eyes were now glowing unholy silver as he unsheathed his claymore from behind him. With a deep sigh, he readied himself as he posed in battle stance. After an uneasy moment of silence, Max swiftly sliced through the vortex in half, causing it to roar as it began to split open.
"Alright, everyone inside quickly before the portal collapses!" Without another word, the silver-clad chipmunk vanished into the damp darkness, his white aura consumed by the blackness of the portal.
The twelve hesitated, but their tutors did not have the time to argue. The tutors then pushed each of their students into the portal, catching them totally off-guard. The chipettes screamed their lungs out as each chipette tightly gripped their corresponding chipmunk, tears flowing from their eyes in fear.
The tutors were about to follow suit when Damien caught their attention.
"Just a quick warning everyone…" He spoke sternly, clearly not liking Max's decision, "There are a lot of dark things lurking within the spirit realm. We will be forced to fight our worst fears here, and these nightmares may permanently scar you. Keep your sanities close to your heart, and protect your pupils at all cost.
"I don't like Max's plan at all. But I have no other option but to agree if we are going to speed up their training before Tempest strikes Antimony. They are the future now, and we will be nothing more but sacrifices for their safety. Now, let's get moving."
The tutors were totally astonished at Damien's words. Each one stung their hearts with both hurt and truth. Now, there was no turning back; with whatever pride they had left, they entered the portal, ready to combat the awaiting evils that lay within.
And... CUT! There you go! Hope I didn't bore you or anything...
