Happy Late Halloween boys and girls.
I originally started this chapter yesterday on Halloween, and I was going to finish the chapter on Halloween. However, because of school homework and the fact that I started this at 9:00 after going with my brother for trick-or-treat, I was not able to meet the deadline and wound up finishing later than that. At least I can finish this a day next to Halloween.
EDIT: Make that 3 days after Halloween. (Actually. Because of Daylight Savings Time, it's still November 2nd.)
Anyway, this is going to be my second fanfiction next to the ongoing Impossible Quiz one. This fanfiction might show the digidestine's original personalities more accurately, and the second chapter might be updated today since it is Friday (EDIT: Sunday) today.
In the story, there is a new attraction added into the Halloween carnival, but of what kind? What does it do? Well we know it spooks - no, tries to spook people, but to what extent does it make their hearts jump?
(I advise you to check out some of these horror games like slender or outlast in order to understand what's going on.)
Note: By the time I finishing typing this sentence, it would be 11:50 P.M. of Halloween.
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon nor any of the following:
Slender
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Gmod: Hellresort
And many other games that will be listed later.
Now let the story begin. The horror awaits.
Chapter One: Let the Games Begin
Night blooms over Odaiba a darkening but playful glow as the moon shines down on the earth. The neighborhood is decorated in a specific design as this day is a special day. One of the houses is being visited. This one only has one window and is on with two people seen through it. As they watch the TV, footsteps can be heard coming towards the house. One of the residents look outside the window and starts for the door. There seems to be 3 distinct pairs of footsteps walking towards the door. One figure walked into the light revealing itself to be dressing as a clown coated with blood stains, another walked to the door with a costume looking like one of the un-dead, and the last one, appearing to be a pirate who looked like he was fit to lead his own crew, rang the doorbell. The woman opened the door and smiled at the three children. In response, the trio held out what looks like a basket and smiled although it seems subtle since their faces are covered with masks, and they uttered three words that are very known on the day of fright.
"Trick-or-treat."
The woman smiled at the kids in their scary costumes and brought out a bowl of candy, dropping candies in the basket bearing the face of a jack-o-lantern.
Meanwhile in the carnival….. [7:00 P.M]
"Yeah. I got it!"
"Nice one Davish."
Upon arriving in the carnival and going on some of the rides, Davis and Veemon decided to try some of the minigames. Currently, they were playing a throwing minigame where one must knock over a stack of bottles by throwing 3 balls. Davis was decided to be first after a few rounds of R-P-S (rock-paper-scissors). After missing the stack of bottles about 20 times, Davis finally knocked managed to throw the ball at the stack, knocking them over.
"Congratulations, "said the minigame clerk, "As a reward, you get a stuffed bear."
Davis immediately snatched the bear and held it up high in the air facing the skies.
"Finally. Now I can give this to Kari on her next birthday."
Veemon stepped in while tossing 3 coins in his claw.
"Alright. My turn."
(A/N: It's midnight, so from here on out, this will be typed in November 1st)
15 misses later….
"16. Please, be my lucky number." Veemon said to himself.
Veemon threw the ball but missed again, for he aimed it 2 feet to the left.
The minigame clerk responded, "Miss."
"Dammit." Veemon cursed.
"Well at least you still have 5 more throws until it's official that your aim is worse than mine, especially blindfolded."
Veemon pivoted around to face him, but he actually faced 30 degrees to the right of Davis.
"That doesn't make any sense!" Veemon retorted.
"I know. I'm just kiddin' around." Davis
Veemon threw another ball but missed once again, 5 feet to the right and 4 feet too far.
"Miss," stated the man running the stand.
Veemon clutched his head and threw his arms forward. "Gahhhh! Come on!"
Davis asked, "By the way Joey. Why didn't you stop us after 3 throws? It's the normal rule of this minigame, right?"
The man known as Joey replied, "True. However, I'm doing this to survey people's luck and sense and to watch people suffer from frustration. It sounds pretty stupid, huh?"
"Sort of."
Joey shrugged. "But hey...I'm just bored. Anyways, the lowest anyone had ever gotten so far was 15."
"How many people have played in your rules?"
"About 100. You're in third place."
"Really? Oh sweet!"
Veemon threw the ball again; finally, he hit the bottom right of the 3 bottle stack. The bottle structure fell.
"Oooooooh. Make that 4th place. Veemon replaced you in 3rd place with 18 misses."
Veemon took off the blindfold and pumped his fist in a satisfied expression.
"Yes. I did it. I'm good, aren't I?"
Davis, whose face betrayed his sulking, muttered, "Yeah you're good alright." Man, I just can't win today.
Joey asked Veemon, "So which prize do you want?"
Before Veemon could exhale his voice, Davis interrupted in a mocking voice.
"How about the cat doll? For Gatomon." He puckered his lips at the end.
Veemon, with red cheeks forming, shook his head and turned to Davis with a face and fist that said 'Why I 'oughta'
He turned back to Joey and formed a cheezy smile on his face while scratching the back of his head.
"Eheheh. Ignore what Davish just said. How about the pinwheel?"
"Nice choice," Joey said as he put his hand in the bag.
"By the way, what are you supposed to be?"
"Easy. Myself. Just plain, old Veemon."
Now, normally people would stop and contemplate on there being a weird looking monster in the human world, even if the previous happenings of Digimon entering the human world taught them a thing or two. However, since this Halloween, there's nothing to worry about.
Joey simply took that answer and motioned his eyes towards Davis.
"What about Davis?"
"Him? Just himself. He was going to buy a costume, but by the time he went into the store they ran out, so he decided not to wear one. He was going to be a grim reaper so he can scare T.K., but that's because of what happened last year."
"What happened?"
Veemon giggled closing his eyes. "T.K dressed up as a Zombie with black eye contacts and red blood all over his costume. What convinced Davis that he was a zombie was that T.K coughed up red/ purple blood with organ candy. Hahaha! His reaction was priceless."
"Aahahah. Yeah, I can agree with you there"
"Well, there you guys are. Cody and Kari are waiting over at the ferris wheel." An unknown girl voice said.
"I say. Both of you seem to like being original, hmm?" Another voice with a British accent asked.
Veemon and Joey looked at the two newcomers, while Davis bangs into a pole while attempting to turn his face at the direction of the two.
"Gahhhh. Arrgh. Dammit! Great. First my carpet wakes me up and now this. I've got to stop banging into things."
At a first glance, you see a 15-year-old girl wearing a red shirt with a brown jacket. She has blue pants and black shoes. Her hair is barely changed based on hair due, but on color, it's really unorthodox. Instead of the usual pink, her hair is now red like Izzy's, and the front side part of her hair is on front of her ear instead of behind. As for the other one, there isn't anything different he's wearing, except for 2 compartments that hold a fake kunai knife each, a paper shuriken that looks just like one with the shadowing, and a headband with the wind symbol embedded on it. (A/N: For those who don't know what the symbol looks like, it's an hourglass. If you knew this already, skip this note.) To top off that, he also has a mask that has a spiral pattern. The center of the spiral is a hole that lets the right eye free to visualize.
Veemon broke the silence, immediately recognizing Yolei.
"He-hey. Yolei. How are you tonight? Guess what, I beat Davis's record and got to the top thr-fhbfirbvusbvudvsuvb"
Davis immediately covered Veemon's mouth out of embarrassment.
"Uhh. What he means is, how's Kari? Yeah that's what he meant right, heheh?"
He looks at the masked figure and already deduced the disguised one with hawk-like features to be Hawkmon. However, Veemon has the opposite result.
Yolei ostensibly replied, "Right."
Veemon looks around the mask and looks Hawkmon's tactical, but harmless, weapons for five minutes.
"Uhh nice weapon's you got there you… uh… who are you?"
Hawkmon thought, "Oh, for Pete's sakes." as he takes off his mask.
"It's me you imbecile!".
"Ohhh. Whoops. Sorry there Hawkmon. By the way, nice stuff. Whoa. (He picks up one of his plastic kunai.) Where did you get these?"
"I created them myself."
"Yeah. No kidding. So what's with the weapons, headband, and mask anyway. (He looks at Hawkmon's right eye) Oh no. Your eye. It's swollen."
"Ahahah. No it's not. This is just a contact. I'm attempting to copy the Sharingan."
"Sharingan. Isn't that some sort of magic in the eye called jutsu?"
Hawkmon nodded, "As you can see, I look like a shinobi that comes from the land of wind."
Veemon, "Oh yeah. With those forehead protectors. I only watched 3 episodes of that show. 2 from the original series, and the other one from Shippuuden."
After that, they walk towards the ferris wheel.
Davis asks Yolei about the meeting.
"So what's with the meeting?"
"You'll see."
They finally reached the ferris wheel and met with Cody and Kari, who is wearing an angel suit. They were just talking until Davis wonders about T.K's whereabouts.
"Hey-uh. Where's T.D? (He starts moving towards the hot dog vendor next to a bush where he leans on it and places both hands under his head as if they're the head's cushion.) He's never been this late before unless he's in Malomyotismon trouble, but he's gone now for 2 years. Where is he now?"
Out of nowhere, a bloody hand appeared and snatched Davis's jacket. Then, a couple of red eyes with reptile pupils appeared in the bush and looked at Davis, making a slithery sound whispering, "There you are."
Quickly, Davis jumped and ran to the railing, screaming repeatedly short "aaah"s.
"Oh come on Davis. You're not scared of me are you?" said the mystery figure.
Everyone laughed except for Davis as the figure takes off his costume revealing T.K.
Embarrassed and regained his cool, he sarcastically replied, "Oh. Ha ha. Very funny T.T. I was just testing you."
"Hyeah right."
"So what about Ken?"
Another voice said, "Greetings insignificant life forms."
Realizing that evil tone, everyone, wide-eyed, turned around to see a spiky hair kid with bat glasses and a cape.
"Well, shall I begin putting dark ring around your necks?"
Everyone looked serious and scared due to the mischievous and depraved tone in the voice, especially the Digimon, in which they had enough strength, despite their intimidation, to position themselves in their defensive positions. Finally, Ken dropped the act sand his glasses.
"Hehahah. Just kidding guys. It's only me."
Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Veemon said, "Boy. You really got us there didn't you. Since when did you act so dramatic so well?"
"Since the day I joined drama club a month ago."
"Say. Where's Wormmon?"
Just then, a Wormmon with a psycho mask came out of Ken's cape and scared the heck out of Veemon.
Veemon begged, "Please don't kill me Mr. Psycho. Plea-ea-ea-ease"
Succeeding in fooling Veemon, Wormmon dropped his act also.
"What? You don't recognize one of your friends?"
Now everyone's laughing at Veemon, who laughs embarrassingly. Davis, who is the only one not laughing, said to him, "Welcome to my world."
"Well it looks like the whole gang is all here." Armadillomon said.
"Well not everyone, "Gatomon responsed.
"Oh that's right. Where's Tai and the others?" Kari asked.
"I think I know, but I'll contact Matt to make sure, "
T.K began dialing his brother's number and put it in his ear.
Meanwhile…..
"Tai. Are you sure this isn't going to freak me out?"
"Aww come on Agumon. Don't tell me you're scared as well."
"I can't help it. This place feels creepy."
"But we are the digidestine of courage, aren't we?"
"Yeah. Let's go."
"Alright."
Tai and Agumon are at the horror house deciding to go there or not. While it looks like Agumon has the Willy nillies, Tai also has grief, but after telling himself that he's the digidestine of courage, his grief has disappeared, but not 100%.
Anyway, Sora, Biyomon, Matt, and Gabumon are waiting at the entrance, but Mimi and Palmon declined.
"You guys have fun in there." hollered Mimi.
"Good luck." Palmon waved at them.
Sora hollered at the "courageous duo", "Hey! Are you guys coming or not?"
Behind her, Biyomon gulped and started sweating at the inside room. The room was full of axes and butcher knives, and some of the walls look like guts. Also, there were dead faces, half skin, half skeletal with lots of red gushing out.
Tai replied, "Alright. We're coming."
The two uneasy fellows were just about to reach the entrance until Matt's phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey Matt. The others and I are heading towards the new attraction. Are you and others coming?"
"O.K. I'll be right there T.K"
Matt closes his phone as Gabumon asks, "What is it?"
"Sora. We're going to have to skip this house. T.K and the others are already heading towards the new attraction."
Both Biyomon and Sora said, "The new attraction?"
Tai joined in.
"Oh that attraction. There was a sign at the carnival entrance saying, 'New attraction. Opening at 8:00 P.M.' It's 5 to 8. Let's go so we won't miss the grand opening."
Tai starts running towards the attraction as Agumon starts behind him.
"Way ahead of you."
When they were about 20 ft. away from them, they wiped their heads.
Phew. That was a close one.
Matt: He's just going there because he doesn't want to enter this haunted house.
Sora: Heehee. Oh Tai.
Mimi: Hey. Aren't you coming?"
Palmon: There's no tomorrow for Halloween.
The two sincere females went Tai and Agumon's direction as the others try to catch up.
The Odaiba Horror Zone: 7:59 P.M
"Well. Only 30 seconds until it opens." Ken says.
"Where are they?" asks Kari.
"We're here!"
Both, Tai and Agumon made it simultaneously to them before tripping and making a bruise in their knees.
"You're just in time, and it looks like Mimi and Palmon are as well." said Yolei.
"Hey! Wait! Don't start without us." Mimi called to them as she and Palmon ran up to them not too long from Tai and Agumon's time.
Cody looks at his watch as it beeps 8:00.
"It's time!"
The lock in the screen became unlocked and the chains disappeared.
50 ft. away, the remaining people of digidestines (excluding Joe because of rejecting, and Izzy because he's busy) ran towards the entrance of the attraction.
Matt, who was out of breath, said, "We're here."
Sora, exhaling heavily, said, "And just in the nick of time. It's starting."
The screen then showed a line vibrating as it talks. At this point, 10 other people arrived and had their eyes and ears on the screen as it says the introduction.
Screen: Welcome to the Horror Zones. A game where you take on 9 zones and play to whether complete the task, or lose and come out of the red floor. These zones are holographic, yet if you hit them, they will act as a solid. If you either faint from fear or get killed by the enemy, you will be composed down into data like in the digital world and be transported to the red floor over there. The red floor is the exit of the game, or as we call it GAME OVER. How do you begin is what I think all of you are wondering about. You start at the blue circle over there and get teleported to the first zone. It transports you by breaking you down into data and appear into the zone. These 9 zones are from 9 horror games you will find on the computer, or on a CD found in any game console. Here are 5 of the zones you will face.
Everyone looked at the screen and studied the 5 zones.
Tai: Slender? Eyes? ? Amnesia: The Dark Descent? Erie?!
Agumon: *Gulp*
Davis: Man. My stomach hurts.
Veemon: Same here.
Yolei: If Izzy was here, the first word he would say is prodigious.
Matt: I only played one of those 5. That was Slender. You have to find 8 pages, or he catches you.
The Screen continued.
These zones are sorted in an order of least scariest to most horrific. The last one is a secret. I'm only going to tell you the first zone. It's Slender. The rest, you'll just have to guess yourselves. Ready to get your scare on? Begin.
Ken asked, "Who made this attraction?!"
T.K found a bumper and read it.
"It says 'This attraction is made by R.X.'"
Agumon cringed by that.
"I thought so. "said Agumon, "No one could make something this crazy and difficult as he can."
Davis walks forward towards the blue circle.
"Well I'm not going to let him scare me. Ready Veemon?"
"Yeah."
"Let's go."
As the rest of the group watch as the two stepped on the circle, the screen let out an alarm.
Note: Only one person per play.
"Aw crap."
"So Davish. Who goes first?"
"You go."
"No you go. I'm out of here."
"No you don't!"
Davis and Veemon started fighting over who goes out first until Tai stepped forward to break the fight.
"Alright guys. Break it up."
However, when Tai touched both of their shoulders, Davis and Veemon both went out at the same time, making Tai fell forward hitting the red button.
Everyone yelled, "Tai!"
Sora ran to get his hand, but it was too late. Tai had already been transported.
First player transported. Surveillance on.
Then, the screen showed Tai getting up in a dark forest.
"Ugghh. Where am I?"
Well, it looks like Tai's the first one to try this horror game.
Tai: Somebody! Get me out of here!
Me: You have to play the game first.
Tai: Aww. Come on!
Mysterious person: At least your story skills are improving.
Well, anyway. We all know that the first zone is Slender. So it's simple. Tai has to find and take all 8 pages and head for the fence to escape. But what is his obstacle? Well, to those who know about Slender or played it, you guys exactly know what it is.
Well, I'm off now.
See ya.
