Act 2...
Scavenger and Chief open their eyes, to see they were back at the start of the swan boat. Looking around, they immediately jumped off and quickly got away from the ride, till they stopped at an old van.
Scavenger: *Frighten and confused* W-What, was that?
Chief: *Frighten and calm* I don't know and i don't want to find out...-sighs-good thing that ball of light scared it.
Scavenger Leaned up on the van, and the door fell off causing the alarms to blare out. The two covered their ears and Scavenger went inside and turn off the alarm.
Callum's Voice: Over here!
When he was heading out, he noticed a teddy bear with the knife in its head and a piece of paper, picking it up.
Chief: What is it?
Scavenger: *Reads it, then says the finale part aloud* 'This will not be all for nothing'?
Chief: Maybe it's a clue on the disappearance?
Scavenger: Has to be, look at the van *Chief looks at the van* 'Maintenance'.
Scavenger puts the paper in his bag and the two proceed to walk.
Women's Voice: Mommy is coming Callum.
Hearing that just made the Rusherz disturbed.
Chief: *Disturbed;sarcastic* That isn't creepy at all.
Scavenger: -sighs- Let's...continue.
After walking around for a bit, the two stops at a ride.
Chief: Hey, look at this!
Chief run up to the octopus ride. Scavenger stared at it.
Scavenger: Can we go on?
Chief: *Excited* WE CAN!
Scavenger: *Looks up* Well, *Smiles a bit* I suppose it won't hurt to ride it.
Scavenger turned to see Chief at the controls as he stopped the ride. Scavenger and Chief hoped on and the ride started .
Scavenger: This is kinda fun. Right Chi-
Scavenger turned to Chief who was trying to enjoy it, but he had his hand to his head. He was having a headache for some reason.
Scavenger: *Concern* Chief you okay?
Chief looked up to answer, but screamed in terror and Scavenger turned to see a monstrous ringmaster boogeyman creature towering over them as the ride went round in circles, going faster and Faster.. He disappeared as the ride ended, leaving both of them in fear. Scavenger saw him at the controls and then vanished. As soon as the ride stopped completely, he grabbed Chief and ran away from that ride.
Chief and Scavenger finally stopped running when they were far away from the ride.
Scavenger: *Scared* WH-What was that?!
Chief: *Scared* W-W-Was that the owner...time was not good for him. T-That feeling.
Scavenger: *Sighs and Calms down* W-Where are we?
Chief: *Looking around* Looks like we're at the bumper cars.
Flashes of light came from the center, as the Rusherz turned to see a women strapped to a table. Their eyes widening in horror.
Women: NO! STOP DOCTOR! PLEASE!
They stared at it till the lights vanished, as did the scene.
Chief: *Disturbed* I'm gonna go out on a limb and we're seeing thing.
Scavenger gave a thought...then spoke.
Scavenger: *Concern* Was that head ache telling you something?
Chief looked at the Raven. It was no surprise that both him and Arrow-Head had a close connection to the supernatural forces of the planet earth, even when they first arrived (Earth is a indeed very mysterious place), so Scavenger asking this was to be expected.
Chief: *Calms down* Y-Yeah, this place isn't normal and what we saw was proof of that.
Scavenger: And that voice...*Idea* it matches the women's voice we've been hearing around the park!
Chief: Your right, something must be in there!
They ran over and looked though the bumper cars, till Chief found something.
Chief: *Beckons to Scavenger* Scavs! Look at this!
Scavenger runs over.
Chief: It's an accident report from 1976, one year before this place opened. *car sounds in background; coming closer* A guy by the name of Francis was killed while transporting bumper cars when one of the straps broke and the cars fell on him. Death: Crushed-
Scavenger quickly push himself and Chief out of the way when a bumper car came flying towards them. They both got up from the ground.
Chief: *sighs in relief* Thanks Scavs.
Scavenger: No problem.
The duo walked to the ferries wheel as Scavenger placed the new information in his bag. The Ferris wheel was at a complete stop.
Scavenger: *Exhausted* O-Okay, I need to sit down. *sits on the basket of the Ferris wheel* -Sighs- This is nuts. The voices, that mascot, the creepy man, the women, the visions, Callum...it's like either someone is messing with our heads or someone wants us to die.
Chief: *walks over and sits by him as the ride started; comforting* I know, we'll make it though I know it *Ride stops, then continues*.
Women's Voice: 'People come into your life for a reason', Dad use to say that before mom ran off, after that he mostly just drank. *Scavenger does the quiet symbol and the two listen* Things were different for Don and I. When we met, I was sweeping the floor at Susie's Diner, he came in with some workers, but he didn't try to flirt or "joke with me like the others", he just ordered a coffee and sat there, watching me. *Both look at each other* When my shift was over, he offered to walk me home. I don't know how to describe that walk, we talked and laughed and eventually kissed. It felt like love. It felt like a fariytale. I can't tell you if Callum was made that night or one of the ones that fallowed, I think it has to be that night, that one perfect night *Both were blushes red*. Don and I moved in together but then, well, he died. *Scavenger and Chief shared a hushed gasped* According to the supervisor, his safety harness failed when he was working on top of the Ferris wheel...Don was there on moment, and then gone. Sometimes people leave your life for no reason. I was three months pregnant with Callum...fairytale over.
The two Rusherz looked at each other in worry as they waited to get off the ride.
Scavenger and Chief walked away from the ferries wheel, nearly getting crushed by one of the baskets and finding a roller coaster ticket in it. They now found themselves staring at the entrance to it...they would had avoided it all together but the pathway away from it was blocked.
Chief: Sooo, we going on.
Scavenger: Its not like it's a choice...the path is blocked...
They walked over and sat in the fount of the car as the ride started. The same shadowy figue appered behind them, his long finger holding them in.
Monstrous voice: Well well, you two are doing fine keeping your sanity in check.
Scavenger: : *Serious* Shut up. What do you want with us?
Monstrous voice: We need to talk about Callum and the Children.
Chief: W-What...*Serious* What did you do to them?
Monstrous voice: I, that's insulting. He and his mother...Those children, are everything this park doesn't want. The anthesis of what we stand for.
Scavenger: *Scoffs* You mean a death trap, cause that what this place is.
Monstrous voice: I pity the children, they even left a trail bread crumbs for their parents but the park is hungry and swallowed them.
Chief: *Serious* .they?!
Monstrous voice: Us witches have them now, and also you, both of you...no happy ending for you I'm afraid.
Scavenger: *Anger* SHUT UP AND LEAVE US ALONE BEFORE I STICK MY FOOT UP YOUR SORRY EXCUSE FOR A BEHINE!
The same light from before flys towards and through them, Monstrous screams from behind, the ride flashed between their eyes as word appeared before them.
BEWARE THE RINGMASTER
STEVE GARDENER IS STILL HERE
THE WITCH OF DEPRESSION
SAVE THEM ALL
ESCAPE, ESCAPE, ESCAPE.
Voice: *Distorted* ESCAPE!
Scavenger and Chief blinked their eyes open, finding themselves on the ground and saw they were outside of the ride, unharmed and the path cleared. This was the second time the light came and saved them, but who was it...the only thing on their mind though was that one word as they looked at each other.
Scavenger and Chief: *Confused;concern* Escape?
End of act 2
