The blood-thirsty skeleton entered the holodeck and found himself standing in the middle of a snow-covered, hedge-maze. It was the maze from the movie, "The Shining." The creature sniffed the cold air to try and lock in on the scent of the little girl.
The intruder hissed, and with his red eyes a-glow began walking through the hedge-maze in search of the child.
"Naomi, come out, Naomi." whispered the skeleton as he traversed the maze. "I'm going to find you sooner or later my little dear. If you come out now I'll leave the rest of the crew alone, I promise." The red-eyed psychotic skeleton leered as he turned a corner in the maze but saw no trace of the delicious little girl he eagerly sought.
"Go to Hell, Ugly!" The voice of the eight year old came from some unknown place inside the maze.
"I've already been to Hell. I spent about a year there after I was killed by some upset parents whose children I devoured. I was burned alive inside a place called the 'Hollow Point Inn." I found myself standing amidst the endless burning flames of the underworld, surrounded by demons, monsters, snakes and evil vile creatures of all kinds. I fit right in with them. I was given the name "Skeltor" by a high-ranking demon with three swirling heads," the intruder explained, as he continued his search through the maze. "It wasn't until my mommy and daddy used the power of dark magic from another world to raise me up from the dead, that I again found myself in the world of the living. You have a mommy don't you Naomi? I know you do. I know you love her and care for her. It would be a shame if I had to kill her, slowly, painfully, in every way she fears, but if you come out now I'll leave her alone and we'll depart from Voyager," said the monster enticingly.
"You're lying, you creepy scum. If I come out now you'll kill me and then you'll murder everyone on the ship," the voice of Naomi repiled from some unknow place inside the maze. "Tell me something, Skeltor, how does one anorexic pile of bones go about killing the entire crew of a Borg Cube, by himself, without so much as a scratch?" Naomi asked,as she remained in hiding, trying to think of how to defeat this monster.
"Magic," Skeltor replied wickedly as he aimed his glowing crimson eyes at tracks in the snow. It didn't underestimate its prey. It knew that the child might have left a false track of footprints in order to lead him into a trap.
"There's no such thing as magic. It's not real." The girl responded.
"Yet you travel through space everyday onboard this spacecraft. You speak a few words to your super-avanced computer and holograms just like this one appear from thin air. There are those in this universe who would call that magic," the creature told her as it continued to search.
No reply come from the maze. All that could be heard was the blowing of the frigid lashing winds that whipped back and forth as Skeltor continued to hunt for her.
Crunch, crunch, crunch! The sound of tiny, fast moving feet came from behind Skeltor. He knew that it would be futile to waste time chasing her through this maze. He quickly turned a corner and came up with a plan of his own.
"Computer, exit," The girl said as she stood at the center of the maze. A holo-deck arch appeared before her a few feet away.
As she began to scamper towards the exit, Skeltor came out screaming, and leaped with great force from behind one of the hedge-rows, and tackled her to the ground from behind. He quickly picked the girl up by her throat and held her up close to his glowing red eyes. She looked into his eyes and started to feel hypnotized. Her whole body began to feel numb. She placed her little hands over his eye sockets in order to block out the glow of his eyes. He quickly reached up and pulled her arms down, cutting her skin with his bony fingers in the process, causing bright red blood to trickle down to her hand. Skeltor then opened his mouth wide as foggy green mist formed inside his jaws.
"Computer run program character 1396," Naomi gasped as the green mist began to surround her body.
A hologram of a hockey-masked Jason Voorhees, with his classic machete in his hand, appeared behind Skeltor, The hockey player slashed his machete across Skeltor's bony neck, causing the skull to go sailing across the deck and land in the snow several feet away. The monster released its grasp on the child.
Jason used his weapon to smash and break the many white bones of Skeltor into pieces on the snowy ground, while Naomi took this chance to escape from the holo-deck. The fragments of Skeltor's bones and severed skull began to quickly swirl around and re-connect themselves. A fully and perfectly re-assembled intact Skeltor then engaged in a hand-to-hand battle with the the holographic Jason. Skeltor, who fought like an expert boxer, traded many blows with Jason, knocking off his hockey mask.
"Your mug is almost as hideous as that of 'Faceless'," the crimson eyed flesh eater remarked as he fought with Jason. The two of them swapped blows until Skeltor picked him up over its head and smashed him through the wall of the Holo-deck. Skeltor stepped through the hole in the wall as the holographic Jason disappeared from sight.
