Chapter 2: The Encounter
Around three o'clock in the morning, Tommy woke up and had the feeling to use the bathroom. After doing his business, he was washing his hands when he began to get the feeling that someone was outside the door watching him. He thought it was Donnie getting ready to startle him when he would open the door. Tommy got on his stomach and looked under the door. There were a pair of feet under the door, but it was too dark to tell who it was. Tommy grabbed a pair of nose hair scissors from behind the mirror and slowly approached the door. After a few seconds, he swiftly swung the door open only to find no one. He became confused as he looked out into the hallway only to find it quiet as death. He walked down to Donnie's room and opened the door a crack only find him fast asleep.
Tommy quietly shut the door and started to return to his room when he had the strange feeling again, but this time it was right behind with sound of metal tapping with each step he took. He quickly got to his door when the footsteps stopped. But when Tommy turned around to look, he froze in utter horror. There standing a few feet away from him was Protoboy showing a face of rage with glowing red eyes. Tommy raced back into his room and activated Robotboy. "Tommy! What wrong?" Robotboy asked. "Protoboy," Tommy instantly shrieked, "I saw him!"
"Tommy saw Protoboy?"
"I swear, Robotboy. I was going to the bathroom and then he appeared behind me."
Then a shadow grew tall behind him and its eyes glowed crimson red. Tommy turned around slowly as he and Robotboy looked in horror. "Not you…" Robotboy whispered, "Not again…" The shadow charged at them with a roar as the two boys raced into the room and slammed the door shut. However, the shadow was able to enter from under the door and towered them both. Two arms stretched out and surrounded them as it whispers, "Destroy…" But just as it was about to grab both them, Robotboy super-activates and unleashes a nearly eye-blinding light. The apparition lets out one loud howl before it vanishes into thin air. They both sat on opposite sides of the room, speechless and not moving a muscle for a while. Eventually, Tommy gained the courage to move and sat next to Robotboy as he turned to Tommy. "What happened?" Robotboy asked. "I don't know," Tommy replied, "But I believe we got something to tell the others tomorrow morning."
