Chapter I
Amusement park nightmare
La Ronde at night. People laughing, talking loudly, and many fireworks. It was an oddly warm night, and the fireworks bloomed in the starry sky. Something was climbing one of the roller coasters. People looked up and pointed, some screamed. The thing climbed to the tallest hill of the Monster, stood up, and roared. Everyone looked up, including the fireworks person. He shot one of the fireworks in the wrong direction, straight at the creature. Seeing a bright fiery thing heading straight for his chest, the thing dodged it. It looked down trying to spot the person who did that. Sidetracked, the creature didn't notice the roller coaster car heading straight for him. While standing back up, the car hit him. People screamed in fright, the thing went flying, banged the side of the coaster with a nasty crack, and landed on the soil a couple of seconds later. Security backed the crowd of, and paramedics rushed to the scene. The thing was trying to get back up, but they pushed him back down. It roared at them in anger, fighting to get out of their grasp. Seeing that it was much stronger than they were, the chief paramedic called for backup. Four more men ran to the scene and pushed the thing down. One of them took out a long needle and filled it with a powerful tranquilizer. Seeing the needle, the creature freaked, and fought with all his might, but there were too many.
"Give me his arm!" the paramedic with the needle shouted. Three of them held the things arm down, and the paramedic stabbed it into its arm. The creature roared, clearly pissed. The paramedics held him down as best they could. After a couple more minutes, the thing's movements weakened, and his struggling ceased. He finally fell limp. The 5 of the 8 paramedics stood up to catch their breath. The other three looked for injuries.
" He seems to have a couple of broken ribs." said one.
" And a broken scapula." replied another.
The chief analyzed the situation, and shouted,
"Alright then! Get him on a stretcher and let's bring him to the nearest hospital."
While they loaded the creature on a stretcher, the youngest of the group came up to the chief and asked.
" Sir, what's with the costume on this guy?"
" …I doubt it's a costume…"
