Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-gi-oh Zexal. And sorry about the mix up earlier. That was embarrassing.
"Hey, guys!" Alit rushed into the BARian.
"What is it, Alit?" Gilag asked his friend.
"I found out that the humans have a holiday called Halloween where you dress up in costumes, go up to people's houses, say 'Trick or Treat', and they give you a piece of candy!" Alit informed him.
"That is awesome! After going to a lot of houses, you end up with a lot of candy!" Gilag exclaimed.
"Yeah! It's on the night of October 31st and I know just what we should do for costumes." Alit said.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. What makes you think we are in on this?" Misael asked.
"Well, it would be so cool! Plus it's also a good way to learn more about humans." Alit reasoned with the last remark directed at Dumon.
"Let's just humor him. He does have a point but I know he just said it to make me agree." Dumon sighed.
"Fine!" Misael growled, "What did you have in mind for the costume?"
...
Alit, Gilag, and Vector were waiting in the living room of their headquarters. Alit and Gilag had plastic pumpkins for their trick-or-treat baskets while Vector had a sack. They were all in their costumes and were waiting for Misael and Dumon to finish getting dressed and get downstairs.
"No way! I am not going out wearing this ridiculous outfit! I look stupid!"
"Misael, we are all in our costumes and will be wandering around town in them. Just come out."
"No! This is stupid!"
"We're humoring Alit. So come out now before I drag you out!"
There was a lot of noise and swearing but eventually Dumon dragged Misael out into the living room. Misael was wearing a white tunic with gold adornments that were remarkably similar to what he wore in his past life and he looked pissed. Dumon was wearing silver armor with a plastic sword at his side. The rest of the barians had also dressed up as their past lives for Halloween.
"I can't believe I'm doing this." Misael growled.
"Don't worry! You look great!" Alit assured him.
"Yeah, you really do! You look like a warrior princess." Vector said then laughed as Misael blasted him.
"All right, knock it off. Let's get this over with. Alit, what do you have planned?" Dumon asked.
Alit pulled out a list. "We'll start by trick-or-treating for two hours, then we'll go to a corn maze, and finally we'll go to a haunted house."
"Alright, fine. Vector, give me your sword." Dumon ordered. Vector begrudgingly handed over his sword from his costume. Dumon took it, looked at it for a second, and then asked, "Vector, is this a real sword?" The only reply was a crazy laugh that he took as a yes. He sighed and put the sword in the closet of horrors with a bunch of other things he had confiscated from Vector.
"Come on, let's get this over with." Dumon sighed and led the barians out to trick-or-treat.
…...
In two hours later, five barians walked to the Heartland Corn Maze. Alit and Gilag were on a sugar high, Vector was laughing after having made over fifty people wet themselves in only two hours, Dumon was taking note of other costumes people were wearing, and Misael was blushing in embarrassment because ten different people had mistaken him for a girl. One guy had even started to hit on him before his gender was made clear.
"ICAN'TWAITFORTHECORNMAZEITWILLBESOAWESOME!" Alit rambled with eyes the size of saucers. Misael bashed him in the head with his costume's toy katana.
"OW!" Alit yelped.
"Don't complain. I'm the one who has been asked on a date by a human male tonight. So me hitting you to make you shut up is not bad compared to what happened to me." Misael growled.
"I told you that you like a warrior princess, Missy." Vector smirked then dodged as Misael threw a punch at him.
"Calm down. I know this has been a rather humiliating night but try to control your temper." Dumon told Misael.
"Not easy when you have been mistaken for a human female ten times tonigh-"
A werewolf and a zombie walked up to the group. The werewolf grinned and said, "Nice costume, sweetheart." The two kept on walking while Misael fumed.
"Correction, ELEVEN TIMES!" Misael seethed.
"Don't worry, in the corn maze we won't run in to any other people so you will be safe from being mistaken for a girl." Dumon reassured him. As they reached the corn maze, Dumon hustled the other barians into a dark alley.
"Ok, everyone teleport back to the BARian and put your candy in your rooms. Everyone can eat one more piece of candy tonight." they all reached into their bags and got out a piece on candy, everyone except Misael that is.
"Why aren't you eating anything, Misael?" Dumon asked while sucking on some lemon drops.
"I don't see any need or reason to indulge in human food made with corn syrup and sugar." Misael sniffed.
"Come on! Here try a sucker." Alit pulled a large spiral lollipop out of Misael's bag and shoved it in his mouth. "And don't you dare spit it out." Alit scolded him. Misael looked like he wanted to murder the battlin' boxer duelist, but controlled himself and didn't spit out the sucker. They teleported back to the BARian, put their candy away, and teleported back.
"Alright, now let's get this 'corn maze' over with." Dumon sighed. Alit pumped his fist and dragged the others over to the corn maze entrance. A teenager was manning the admission booth for the corn maze/haunted house. Dumon walked up and ordered five tickets. The bored looking 18-year-old handed them to him and dully explained, "The entrance to the corn maze is over there, at the maze exit there will be the front door to the haunted house, when you reach the end of the haunted house there will be an exit sign. Exit through there-"
"Yeah, yeah. Come on! Let's go!" Alit raced to the entrance followed by his fellow barians. When the others had caught up, he dragged them along. Soon, they were deep in the maze and completely lost.
"Last time we follow you, Alit." Misael snapped.
"But that's the whole point of the maze! Get lost and find a way out." Alit explained.
"Come on. Let's get out of this maze." Dumon sighed and started walking in a random direction.
…...
After an hour, the barians were no closer to finding way out than they were at the beginning. Eventually the five just plopped down on the ground in exhaustion and despair.
"Of course, get hopelessly lost until you collapse. This is exactly the kind of tradition that humans would come up with." Misael growled.
"I did not expect it to be this hard." Alit panted. The five heard a pair of footsteps running towards them. They turned to the noise and saw Yuma run out of an opening in the corn closely followed by Astral. He was in Zexal mode for his costume. Yuma stopped and stared at the aliens for a moment then broke into a wide grin.
"Hey guys! You doing the corn maze too? It's really hard this year." Yuma said then ran over to the barians. Alit looked up at Yuma and grinned back.
"Yeah! We are really lost. Want to team up with us?" Alit said, completely ignoring Misael's motion for no.
"Sure! Come on, Let's find a way out!" Yuma said and ran off with Alit and the others following behind. It still took plenty of dead-ends, roundabouts, and going back the way they had just come but eventually with Astral's help they burst out of the exit.
"WHOHOO! We're finally out!" Alit jumped for joy and high-fived Yuma. Misael rolled his eyes at Alit's immaturity.
"Yuma if you are so happy to get out, why did you go in to begin with?" Astral asked.
"That's the whole point, Astral. You get lost and try to get out." Yuma explained.
"Your traditions are very odd, Yuma." Astral stated.
"Believe me, I said the same thing." Misael muttered.
"Alright. Time for the haunted house. Let's hope it's a better experience than the corn maze." Dumon said then started to walk to the door. Gilag ran ahead of him and opened the door. It creaked eerily. Yuma laughed and dragged the aliens in.
"Yuma, this house does not look stable. Is it wise to go in?" Astral asked while looking around.
"It's supposed to look that way. But it's just supposed to be scary, not dangerous." Yuma explained.
"Wait, scary?!" Gilag asked.
"Yeah, it's a HAUNTED house isn't it?" Misael pointed out.
"Don't tell me you're afraid of scary things." Alit laughed then stopped as he saw the look on Gilag's face. "Oh my god. You are afraid of anything scary."
"How do you not know that? You two have best friends since any one of us can remember. You're telling me that you did not know that?" Misael asked.
"Well I don't exactly ask him if he is afraid of getting scared. And you didn't know either did you?" Alit retorted.
"Actually, I did. So does Dumon and I don't know about Vector but I assume he does too." Misael said. Alit looked really embarrassed.
"I just don't like how you can't fight back. I get really scared and freak out since I can't do anything about it." Gilag whimpered.
"Oh then let's go back." Alit tried the door but it was stuck. "Or not..."
Dumon sighed. "Great, guess they only way we can go is forward." The seven walked deeper into the house. A low creepy melody played.
"It's okay. It can't hurt me. It's okay. It can't hurt me..." Gilag kept repeating to himself until Vector pushed him down a flight of stairs.
"Aaaaahhhh!" Gilag screamed while Vector laughed.
"Vector! That could've seriously hurt him! And he's already scared enough as it is. I better check to see that he hasn't broken his neck." Dumon ran down the stairs. Yuma and Alit followed.
Alit paused halfway down and called down, "At least you can fight back against something now and his name is Vector."
The others soon came down and found Gilag leaning on Alit and Yuma while Dumon bandaged his leg which has a long gash running down it. When he saw Vector his eyes narrowed and he snarled, "I f*cking hate you."
Vector smiled at him. "I know." They continued through the haunted house although Gilag was limping. They eventually came to a room of mirrors. It was basically another maze where you had to find a way out but with mirrors on all the walls. Misael quickly became frustrated and broke all the mirrors with an energy ball. They got out quickly after that although Alit, Gilag, and Yuma were a little disappointed. The group came to the exit and ran out.
"Finally! Now can we go home and get out of these ridiculous outfits?" Misael growled.
"Bye Yuma! Bye Astral! See you soon!" Alit called.
"You too!" Yuma called back. He started running home while the barians walked back slowly.
"You two are to friendly with each other. We're supposed to be enemies, remember?" Misael reminded him.
"Nothing wrong with being friendly." Alit replied. The five continued the rest of the walk in silence until Dumon noticed Alit with an empty pixie stick tube.
"Alit where did you get the pixie stick?" Dumon asked nervously because Vector was smirking.
"Huh? What picky stick?" Alit groaned with a hiccup.
Dumon grabbed the tube, sniffed it, then yelled, "VECTOR! Did you give Alit a spiked pixie stick?!"
Vector laughed like a maniac. "HAPPY HALLOWEEN! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Dumon picked up Alit and teleported them into Alit's bedroom in the BARian. After tucking the small barian in, he went to his own room and took a human medicine called aspirin before going to sleep himself.
Matarra: Wow, longest chapter yet.
Misael: Can I hit Vector?
Matarra: Sure. *gives Misael a metal bat*
Vector: WHY?!
Matarra: Because shut up.
Dumon: You really like that saying, don't you?
Matarra: Yep!
