Hey guys! I couldn't keep the idea in. And since it's October, I figured "Why not?" And also, I think I'm living with vampires because my family (mainly my mom and sisters) hate it when I use the light to type. Ugh! The day I move out, the better! Anyway, I wanted to do a Halloween story on my favorite cartoon characters and I couldn't wait until next year or something. And I wasn't getting far on CyberChase, in my opinion, so having another story up kind of fills the empty void. I don't own Ben 10, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Johnny Test, Winx Club or Xiaolin Showdown. I only own the plot and my OCs'. So enjoy!
Ch 1. Something wicked
"I want to leave right now! When are we leaving? You guys take forever to get ready! Hurry up!"
I opened the door and poked my head in the bedroom to see my little sister pouting, getting angrier by the minute. Today we were going trick or treating, just us and our big sis but she was taking even longer to put on her costume. I came in and shut the door and Domi, the youngest and fiercest, glared at me but she looked away.
"What's taking her so long?"
"She says she's done…" I gulped at my next words, "But the car won't start." That's when she screeched and threw a pillow at my head but I ducked so it only hit the wall. "UGH! WHY IS MY LIFE SO MISERABLE?! ARGH!" She stuffed her face in another pillow and I carefully sat down beside her. Whenever my sister doesn't get what she wants, she gets furious, very furious.
Suddenly, an idea popped in my head. "How about I tell you a story while we wait for the car to get fixed?" She mumbled in the pillow, "Whatever. But it won't make me happy." I rolled my eyes but I cleared my throat and started.
"Okay. It was a nice crisp and cool autumn evening and everyone was getting ready to celebrate the spookiest time of the year…Halloween."
The big time city of the cartoon world was getting ready to go out and celebrate Halloween, for tonight was not only the night for trick or treating but also the big Halloween carnival, featuring a big musical performance, filled with candy and scaring and a ton of fun. There was even a group of wild and colorful kids that were even more excited than anyone…
"Come on, Johnny. The sooner we leave, the sooner we can get candy, and candy, and even more candy." Dukey said with excitement in his voice, as he was dressed as a mummy while Johnny Test was putting on his costume. "I'm…almost…done. There! Tada!" He jumped out of the closet, dressed as Frankenstein.
"Nice look. So, does tonight involve tee-peeing all the houses in the neighborhood or wanting to 'eat' peoples' brains?" He quoted around the word brains. Johnny smirked deviously, "Hmm, I was thinking around the lines of…both." He and Dukey high-fived before grabbing their big bags and running down stairs.
The magic girls of the Winx Club were dressing as stylish fairies but in costumes that Stella made. Unfortunately, each costume was either too big or too colorful that could be described as a Picasso painting. "Stella, don't you think that these costumes are…well…a bit too much?" Stella looked at Bloom, seeing her huge wings and big glittering fairy attire.
"Hmm, well, I guess these aren't my best designs. But what else are we suppose to wear?" Flora, Musa, and Tecna glanced at each other and grinned. Finally, Stella got it. "Aha! I got it!" The six girls held hands and glowed brightly. "Magic Winx!"
"I do not understand why I cannot stay in my robe." Omi asked as Kimiko put him in a samurai suit while she was dressed as a geisha. "Because Omi, everyone has to dress up. I mean, Halloween only comes once a year so it's a once in a lifetime chance to be anything you can imagine." Finally, she was done and Omi looked at himself in the mirror. He like what he saw. "Oh! Yes! This will do nicely!"
That's when Raimundo and Clay came in the room. Rai was in a ninja suit and Clay was dressed as a cowboy, of course, since he was a country boy. "Come on, partners! We've got some dough to collect." Raimundo grabbed them both by the arms and pulled them alongside him. "Yeah! Let's get a move on, slowpokes!"
"No way am I going with you two! Not even if my life depended on it." I groaned and watched Ahsoka thumped her master, Anakin, in the arm. "Aw, come on, master! It's only for one night and you get candy! Doesn't that sound great?" He glanced at her, then at me but he still looked serious with his choice. "Uh…no." Ahsoka groaned. How were we going to convince him to go trick or treating with us?
Suddenly, an idea formed in my head. It was good, a genius-formed plan, and it made me grin way beyond the limit (It's like the Grinch's evil, conniving grin). "Oh well. I guess me and Ahsoka will have to go then…by ourselves…" Anakin still crossed his arms and looked away, not seeing my evil smile, "…alone with Kevin, Gwen, and…Ben." That's when his body got tense and he quickly ran to my side, clutching my arm. "Alright, I'm in." Ahsoka and I hugged, squealing. Anakin rolled his eyes and cut off our squealing fest, "But if anything funny goes on, you'll both be in hot water. Deal?" We both exchanged smirks but we both nodded. "Alright, deal. Now, let's get you into a costume!" I yanked on his hand and we led him to his doom, with us smirking evilly and Anakin looking worried as ever.
At the same time, all of them left to start trick or treating, as did we. Anakin wore only his cape with his hood on(he insisted on wearing just that and that made us very disappointed), Ahsoka wore a suit like a bounty hunter's and it looked so real. As for me, I was dressed as a princess in a long sleeved red velvet dress and gold trimming with a matching tiara. We were already visiting our fifth house when we saw three figures up ahead. "Oh, finally! We've been wondering when you guys would show up." I ran up to hug them, a group hug sort of thing.
Gwen was dressed as a witch, Kevin was a zombie, and Ben was Ishiyama, the star of his favorite show, Sumo Slammers. "You just had to go as Ishiyama, didn't you?" He rolled his eyes but he hugged me instead, took my hand, and pulled me up beside him. "Hey, at least I'm not," he looked back to view Anakin's attire, "whatever he is." Suddenly, Ben was pushed roughly ahead and he almost tripped. No one pushed him. It was a Force push. And I knew who did it. I looked back and glared at my master who merely gave me an innocent face. I pulled Ben by the arm and led him as far away from Anakin as I could.
A while later, our group came across the Johnny, Dukey, and the Test sisters. Next, we met up with the Winx. And lastly, we saw the Xiaolin monks along with Dojo, their dragon friend. So, we all decided to go trick or treating together and then, to the Halloween carnival. But while we said "Trick or Treat!" and started receiving candy, something was rustling beside the house, in the bush. I looked at it but it stopped. I guess it was just the wind, I thought.
But then, while we were walking, I swear a huge shadow came up over me. I got kind of nervous and looked up but I only saw the dark blue sky mixed with violet and some variations of orange and yellow added. Come on, Ge. Get a hold of yourself. It was probably just a big tree looming over you or a streetlight, I thought again. That is, until, I saw something zoom over me and my head shot up. It was only a crow and it was flying towards the cemetery. I could see the tombstones from the hill I was looking over and I was already getting goose bumps. "Shorty, come on!" I looked over to Anakin and ran over to him but the same chill ran up my spine as that black bird crowed, perched on top of a grave.
Meanwhile, the same crow flew to a gray stone house in the cemetery.
It flew through one of the holes in the small oval window over the stone double doors and landed on the arm of a stone statue of a woman. Its head looked up and watched as the clouds moved aside and revealed the full moon. Its moonbeams shined through the other oval window above them and it hit the statue. Suddenly, the whole house started shaking and the statue started glowing. There were candles surrounding it in the corners when they lit up. The weeds that grew on the walls started growing and roses, red and black, started blooming. And then, the light took over the whole cemetery when it died down. The crow cawed as in its place, a woman appeared.
She had black curly long hair and wore a sleeveless black dress with matching gloves that ran up her arms with ribbons. A black corset was on her neck, with a red stone on it. A red rose was in her hair that had petals with black veins creeping up and turning the tips black as night. Her eyes opened and were black with a hint of mischief in them. She noticed the crow so she reached her hand out and it landed on it obediently. She cooed at it and brushed its pitch black feathers, her blood red lips smiling rather…wickedly.
"Thank you, my dear pet. Finally, the time has come." She walked out rather elegantly, hovering over to the roof of the house. She looked up to see the moon, smiling as a diabolical plan formed in her mind. "Finally, after all these years, my plan will finally be fulfilled."
So, what do you think? I know it seems short but I plan on doing the story like this. There will be a total of six chapters and don't worry, I'll still work on CyberChase. So, leave me a review, comments and such, hugs and smiley faces to you all, and I'll see you soon! Bye-bye!
