Ace's Hidden Camera: Halloween Terror
Chopper
Tony Tony Chopper is a young doctor; one would say that he is a protégé, though he achieved his diploma and knowledge at a huge cost. The young doctor was currently fidgeting as he stood in front of giant mansion, his body trembling in fear, 'maybe it wasn't a good idea' he thought.
"Welcome Dr. Chopper" Rebecca – the host – greeted with a smile. She was dressed in a navy blue pencil skirt along with a blazer and white blouse, almost resembling a businesswoman. The doctor jumped in glee and acted flustered, almost forgetting his surroundings, "that wont make me happy~" he sang.
However, in the mansion, a certain freckled face adult sat in a chair with a mischievous smile, "sorry Doctor – San but it seems like I might enjoy this" he stated. Leaning back in his control room he knew that this was going to be fun, the young doctor was trembling and they haven't started yet. He heard from some people that the young guest was a scared cat but this was beyond what he expected.
"Are you going to give this one a heart attack?" Izo – his personal stylist – asked as he walked into the control room. Ace tilted his head and looked at the cross dresser who just entered the room before flashing him one of his many mischievous smiles, "who knows? Lets see how far this one will go?"
Both men focused their attention back towards the screen where Rebecca led their 'guest' towards the kitchen, which was covered, with faux blood. "This room is where the ghost terrorized Sengoku's daughter until she lost her mind and started cutting things up, from her dog to her body" the pinkette explained.
"EHH" Chopper exclaimed while shaking, his naivety making him believe the lie so easily. However he quickly reverted to his thoughtful mood "the ghost must've placed some great psychological damage on the daughter for her to go berserk" he concluded. Meanwhile Ace who was watching them, brought the microphone of his earphones towards his lips and calmly spoke into them, "Rebecca, try to push him more out of his bubble, exaggerate".
The host of the mansion mentally nodded, keeping a poker face as she led the doctor to the next stage of the prank. As she walked to their destination, she pointed at one picture on the wall, "they say this painting is possessed, it keeps its eyes locked onto visitors and guests alike as if it is watching them" she stated in a low and spooky voice.
"P-Possessed?" the young brunette cranked his head slowly, in a comical manner with a slacked jaw towards said painting. He shivered as he felt a pair of eyes watching him, unknown to him behind the canvas was one of Ace's minions looking at him, that's why when the duo moved the eyes trailed behind him.
'The painting is possessed' he screamed internally as he hurried behind Rebecca, wanting to grab her in a tight hold to protect him. "Did you see that" Ace cackled, as he looked at the screen ahead, "Oi, Rebecca add some more spice".
"You're cruel as always" Izo commented while managing to keep a straight face, the stylist was thankful that he wasn't pranked in any way or else he would behead his boss. "Just hope he lasts until the end" he added as he went on to get Ace's mask and the rest of his costume.
"He'll pull through don't worry" Ace dismissed with a wave before watching the screen, "the kid is naïve, believing that this is a health commercial about Halloween, you gotta be kidding me" he muttered. Just yesterday, the installations of the hidden cameras within the house finished and there was no need for a camera crew to follow them, thus he made Rebecca's job easier and he could have a bigger selection of footage for the final production.
As they walked around, Ace kept changing the cameras viewed on his panel, laughing and commenting when appropriate. Giving Rebecca orders or giving her some idea's, he was positive that the young doctor would piss his pants any second. Finally the big scare was about to happen as Rebecca led Chopper to the 'Scare room'
Stepping inside the pair looked at their surroundings, the room was practically upside down, furniture broken, the curtains were tattered and seemed burned even though there were no windows, nothing was in it's right place. The doctor noted the wooden piece at the top of the door that held it open, seeing that handle was broken and no longer in its place.
"This room was supposed to be the nursery for his youngest child, hence the crib" Rebecca explained as she pointed at the unrecognizable crib. "S-Supposed?" the brunette stuttered, nervously looking around, searching for something out of the ordinary.
"Yeah, unfortunately the ghost possessed Sengoku and forced the man to kill his own infant out of madness" Rebecca explained with a solemn face, as if she was unfazed by the horrible stories that she is sprouting. "In the end he committed suicide, due to the fact that he went insane as well as the guilt of killing his own child" she continued.
"It's a lie isn't it?" the teen asked, his voice shaking and almost cracking out in fear. The pinkette shook her head before placing a hand on the crib and looking at with a sad expression, "when I first heard the story I hoped it was a lie, but there was some evidence proving that it was true" she stated, "the research that my colleagues and I conducted supported this story, all the incidents written in the news papers from that time match up"
"S-Stories"
"Yeah, Sengoku's family were the first victims but then there were three other families that ignored the rumors and ended up dead as well, all in the same manner" she continued with a devilish smile, "there were rumors that the ghost still haunts this place till the day but nobody knows the truth"
As if on cue, the wire attached to the wooden piece was pulled thus removing the support and the door closed by itself – with the help of the mechanism installed obviously. Both let out a yelp of surprise as the turned towards the door, "someone help" she yelled as she banged on it. Meanwhile Chopper was running around and screaming for dear life, almost loosing his mind.
In an instant the lights flickered off and the pink haired host used it as a chance to escape, the hidden hatch that was by the door was her escape route. Just before they were about to close it, she let out a yelp of help before completely disappearing. "Kyaaa~" Chopper screamed as he looked around, "Rebecca where did you go" he cried.
The lights went flickering on and off, letting him see glimpses of the room but as he looked around, he found that his host was missing and nowhere to be found. Using the holograms they made a projection of an infant in the crib crying, while certain mechanics made the crib sway. "W-What?" he stuttered as he stared at the hologram projection with wide eyes, silently crying.
"Use the next hologram and I'm ready to go" Ace commanded quietly from behind the wall as he went into the hidden passage, 'I have to do it quick before he looses his mind' the young adult thought. A chorus of 'yes sir' was heard as the message was relayed to the special effects team, two guys with camera's following and a medical team on standby.
He moved carefully as to not mess up his costume or have his mask peel off by accident. Once he arrived at his checkpoint he whispered into his mini microphone that connected to his assistant Robin, "set the ghost".
"On it" she replied swiftly before looking at the special effects guy and nodding towards him. By a press of a button, a white elderly man walked into the room and through the Chopper much to his horror, "G-Ghost" he screamed. As the said 'ghost' heard the yelp he slowly cranked his neck, rotating his face so now it is facing Chopper along with his back, a groan escaping its lips.
Ace used that moment to jump from his hiding place behind the doctor, "Boh" he whispered in a deadly tone. That was all the young doctor could take before letting out a deadly scream, as he got dizzy and collapsed on the floor, unconscious.
The lights flickered back on and the door open up as two men from the filming crew appeared from behind the prankster and moved so that the medical team would enter the room and carry their guest in a gurney. Removing his mask, Ace looked at the camera guy behind him, "he fainted but lets see him when he wakes up" he stated.
After what seemed like an hours wait or so, Ace sat on his directors chair with a worn out and exhausted Chopper next to him. The young teen wasn't looking forward of staying in the mansion for any longer and he most certainly wasn't look forward to see Ace any time soon. The two had a talk and explanation of what happened when the doctor woke up, with the prankster being scolded heavily for what he dead and lectured about giving people heart attacks.
"Now that Dr. Chopper has awaken and is ready to share with us after lecturing and scolding me, I have a few questions" the prankster began, trying to smooth talk the doctor who had a small look of glee when he was referred to as 'Dr. Chopper'. "What were your thoughts when you were locked inside the room when Rebecca disappeared and this whole prank?" Ace asked
"I thought I was going to die" the young doctor explained as he clung to the elder, bawling his eyes out, "that was horrible Ace, using Rebecca as decoy, and the story, you are horrible"
"I'm sorry for scarring you, though you fell for it" the freckled youth apologized with a soft smile as he comforted the younger, "well it seems like today's episode is coming to an end, ladies and gentlemen, our dear viewers, this is Portgas D. Ace with Dr. Tony Tony Chopper who is today's guest for 'the ghost of Sengoku'"
"Praising me wouldn't change anything" Chopper exclaimed and cutting Ace off.
"Anyways, for more information visit our website that is written down here" he stated pointing his finger downwards where the website is going to be written during the production, "also don't forget to follow our social media accounts and see you at the next episode"
The man who was filming them gave him a thumbs up as he stopped filming and closed the camera, both Ace and Chopper stood up from their seats, though the latter was still shaken up and not trusting of Ace. "How about I treat you to some cotton candy, just come to me whenever you want some, how about that" he tried negotiating.
"Really" the brunette asked with sparkly eyes, Ace could only nod before leading the shorter of the two outside of the building and towards his car before they head to the nearest candy story to buy said candy. 'Making amends with him is much easier than the rest and those who are next' he thought as he watched the teen jump and hurry with excitement.
The End
Managed to finish this chapter though it is delayed by two days, I had set the deadline to be on the 21 but it's the 23 at my time zone and so I deeply apologize once again, I hope that I would finish my upcoming chapters on the deadline. Requests are open but remember those who are already written or are part of the staff working with Ace cannot be pranked.
Thank you and don't forget to leave a review
