"Oh heavenly Zeus... He's going to... I can't look..."thought Sophitia as she and Setsuka as they watched 'Night of the Dead Guys' and Sophitia quietly prayed to Hephaestus that such a thing will never, never ever happen because after the whole previous zombie fiasco, she was tired of living dead guys (oxymoron).

"Why did we watch this again?" asked Setsuka. "I was actually in the mood for a kungfu type of movie.

Adjusting her seat on the black sofa, Sophita looked around the dark room and its scary furniture and said, "Well, the atmoshpere in this room was perfect for a horror movie so I thought...Oh never mind, I don't want to watch this anymore. If Patroklos and Pyrrha sees me like this, I'll lose my tough mom image!"

Setsuka shrugged and turned off the T.V. "Where's Maxi anyway? Making some popcorn shouldn't take this long." She looked at the creepy grandfather clock and noted that it was exactly 11 am. "You don't think something happened to him do you?"

Sophitia looked around the room worriedly. "I don't know but we should probably go and look for him."

Letting out a tired sigh, Setsuka nodded and started to leave the living room with Sophitia following closely behind her. After awhile, they ran into a strange scene... Well... to be more accurate the ran into some strange sounds...

"Eauhk! Eeeek! Ackk! The pain! It burns! Stop it you madwoma- Owwwwwwwwww!"

The two lovely ladies looked at each other with wide eyes and then they turned and looked at the bathroom where the screams were coming from. A sign that said 'ENTER AND DIE! XOXOXOX" was taped to the door with some pink tape gave Sophitia an even stranger vibe and she whispered to Setsuka, "Should we move on or investigate this?"

"It doesn't sound like any of our team members so I'm thinking we should just move on," whispered the Japanese woman.

"Er... alright then." As the two were about to leave, the door slammed open... hot steam came out... accompanied by a screaming Nightmare who was wearing a white towel around his waist. His armor sparkled like the light from a golden sun... er never mind. It was just really sparkly and clean and there was less than 0.000000001% of bacteria on it. But he ran away before they could be really sure and Tira walked out of the bathroom with a giant steel brush and in her hand, she held a bottle of super strength toilet cleaner.

Setsuka blinked a few times before saying, "You cleaned Nightmare's armor with toilet cleaning solution?"

Tira gave a curt humph and shoved the bottle in Setsuka's face. "It guranteed that it would remove 99.9999999999% of gross stuff and make the toilet, I mean the armor really clean. Hygiene was never one of Nightmare's strong point and I decided to remedy that."

"She's in her gloomy mood," whispered Sophitia to Setsuka. "We should leave while we have the chance."

Setsuka nodded and said, "Well, it's been nice talking to you... We'll just take our leave now."

But Tira blocked their path with a snide smile. "You two aren't going anywhere. We need some help for a big event that's happening today and you two will make great helpers. Or else."

"Or else what?" asked Setsuka challengingly.

"Shhsss!" Sophitia pushed Setsuka behind her and tiredly said to Tira, "Tira, we'd rather not. What kind of event are you talking about anyway?"

"Hehehe! It's Hua hua and Zassy's anniversary!" exclaimed Tira excitedly as she turned into her jolly side.

"I hate it when she does that," thought Sophtia. "Oh yea, I forgot you people were holy Hephaestus hammers! Zassy is, I mean Zasalamel REALLY is Xianghua's... Oh my Zeus..." mumbled Sophitia in horror. "I thought Kilik was just jumping to conclusions when he thought that Zasalamel was the one but I guess he was right."

"We'll help you with the anniversary!"

Tira and Sophitia both looked at Setsuka with a confused expresssion. "We will?" asked Sophitia.

Dragging Sophitia away from Tira who staring after them, Setsuak began whispering in Sophitia's war and the Greek warrior smiled. "I like that idea..." Turning back to Tira, she said, "Ok Tira! We'll help you."

Clapping her hands together, Tira laughed. "I knew you would see things my way! It's about time too because I was getting impatient." Her eyes sparkled madly and she said, "Now, go find Hua Hua and tell her that I told you guys to help out. I'm going to go look for Nighty. I have to pick out his outfit for tonight." With that, Tira skipped away merrily and followed the wet trail of water Nightmare left behind.

"You know...Nightmare's just a floating blob or evil energy inside that now sparkly clean armor. Why is she in love with him again?" asked Setsuka.

"Because she's insane." Thinking about it, Sophitia added, "I don't think her gloomy side is too fond of him though."

"Whatever, let's just get going." Rubbing her hands together, Sophitia and Setsuka let out a low evil laugh. "Muahahah... This is going to be good."


"PUSH HARDER!" shouted Hilde. "FOR YOUR HONOR! Ummm... And for your girlfriend Kilik."

"For Xianghua!" Kilik charged forward at the door that had a sign that said, 'Secret passageway made by King Zefer the 36th Pharaoh that leads to the world above'. Why there was such a sign...well no one knew. All anyone cared about was getting out of this trap infested underground burial place infested with rotting mummies. Siegfried charged the door as well but again, it still didn't blast open in a beautiful and awestuck display of splinters from the combined force of the two manly men.

Cassandra cracked her knuckled and rolled her shoulders. "Move out of the way guys. I'll handle this."

Seigfried and Kilik arched an eyebrow but they backed away slowly as Cassandra did some more stretches. Finally, the strong Greek warrior let out a battle scream that would put the battle god Ares to shame and charged forward. At the last second, she turned and her butt smashed the door to pieces in a fierce explosion of splintered wood. Siegfried lowered his hand that was protecting his faces from the splintered wood since he didn't want another scar on his devastatingly gorgeous face and his mouth dropped open. "I... can't believe what just happened."

"So that's why she used her butt for her critical finish..." realized Kilik.

Cassandra smiled triumphantly at the two men and let out a dramatic sigh. "Men are so useless these days."

Hilde smiled and joined her friend's side and the two women began heading up the stairs. Snapping out of what happened, Kilik and Siegfried rushed toward the stair as well. After two levels of stairs...

The four came to a stop and they gasped. Kilik groaned and dropped to the ground. "By my master's 1000 yr old beard, why?"

They were standing at the entrance of a maze and Hilde said, "Maybe it won't be that hard?"

"Are you kidding me? It's the labyrinth from Soul Calibur 2!" shouted Kilik.

"I thought that was one of Raphael's entertainment stage for his amusement park," pointed out Cassandra. "It was suppose to be underground and near the Ungerground Buddhist stage (Taki's stage from SC3)."


From the high-tech room, Algol chuckled to himself. Moving that giant Labyrinth under the giant haunted mansion had been difficult. Very difficult... So he added a nasty suprise in it just to make sure that things would remain interesting. Turning to one of the technician who was playing Angry Birds on his computer, Algol coughed.

The guy immediately turned off the game but it made him really sad since he just reached a high score. "Sir, what is it?"

"How's our T.V rating for the show?"asked Algol.

The technician checked and replied, "We currently have ten milllion viewers and I think we've recieved a mark of 4.7/5 sir."

"Hmmmm, that's pretty good." Algol said happily. "Ok, let's get back to action." And they turned back to the T.V screen with Kilik, Siegfried, Hilde and Cassandra wandering around the maze.


"Ahhh!" shouted Yun-Seong as he hurtled downward. Finally, he came to a stop and crushed someone under him. Which was good for him since it cushioned his fall but it was bad for the flattened dude. Who was...

"How many times must this scenario repeat itself?" shouted Raphael, pushing Yun-Seong off of him angrily. "Why do I always have to see you... no. Correct that. WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO SHOW UP AT THE WORST TIMES?"

But Yun-Seong was holding tightly on to Toad Hwang and staring at Raphael's shiny tooth and nothing Raphael said was getting through to his head.

"Hey! Are you listening to me?"

Blinking, Yun-Seong said, "Huh?"

"I said we're being chased by mummies!"

A large cage slammed down and trapped the two... Raphael groaned. "Aww $%^#$!"

Hwang let out a slow croak and Raphaeel glanced at it. "Why do you have a frog?"

"He's a toad."

"Whatever." Raphael looked away and saw the approaching mummies and he sighed. "At least they can't get us since we're inside this thing."


Algol said to one of the technician, "Press the button for the knockout gas. Oh, and I'll be visting the losers for a little bit so make sure nothing stupid happens. Well." Algol rephrased it and said, "If the people in there do something stupid, then that's ok. It'll boost the rating. But just make sure it doesn't get too out of hand."


"What's that smell?" asked Yun-Seong. He raised his head up and pointed to the ceiling. "Uh... is that pink gas or am I crazy."

Raphael looked at the heirglyphic walls and two holes appeared. Soon, knock out gas flowed out of there as well. "Well... I certainly hope you're crazy but unfortunately, I'm seeing the same thing." Soon, the two guys passed out and Toad Hwang croaked gloomily.


Taki tapped her foot impatiently in the dark creepy hallway and said, "Hurry up and get out of there Zasalamel. It's already 3pm and you need to watch your wedding video..." The ninja paused as Zasalamel stepped out of the room. "You know, you should come with me when I seal demons. If they saw you dressed like this they'd sealed themselves away before they die of laughter. Hahh... hahaha!" laughed the normally stoic ninja.

Rolling his eyes, he said, "Who the hell chose this outfit anyway?" He was wearing loose purple dress pants and a red vest over a pink dress shirt and there was even a red rose pinned to his shirt. And he smelled like rose water.

Taki smirked and said, "Who'd you think?"

"Was it her gloomy or jolly side?"

"Jolly."

"Curse it," said Zasalamel. "I'm going to buy her a real fashion magazine when this is all over. Wait here, I'm not going anywhere in this outfit." He went back into his room to change and Taki sighed and continued waiting.


"Nighty! Come on! I want to see how you look in that outfit I picked out for you," whined Tira. "Hurry up! I want to see Hua Hua and Zassy's wedding video!"

Five minutes later...

"That's it! I'm tearing down this door and dragging you out right now!" shouted Tira in her gloomy side. She latched her hand onto the door and with inhuman strength, she ripped the door off its hinges and gasped. "Who are you? And why do you look even scarier than Nightmare! Hey! Get back here! Where are you going with him? "

Spawn gave her the peace symbol before covering himself with his cape and disappearing out of sight with Nightmare.

Nightmare gave a big sigh of relief. "Thanks man. I don't think I could've stand to be in that place for another hour! So... the place you mention where the rest of the losers are staying... Is it really that comfortable? I've been stuck in a basement for three days and I've endured the worst bath in history that would make babies cry so I'm really looking forward to that spa you talked about."

Spawn rolled his eyes and muttered, "What a baby... But then again, this place is getting kinda crazy..."


"Come on! How long does it take to put on a stinking outfit!" Taki pounded on Zasalamel's door some more and said, "I didn't think you'd be as vain as Raphael but I guess I'm wrong."

Zasalamel's voice came through the door and he said, "Raphael's style... is nothing compared to my clothes."

The door opened and Taki's mouth dropped open. Zasalamel was wearing a really spiffy black suit and his Armani sunglasses made him the picture of epic coolness. "Isn't that the really expensive clothes Yun-Seong bought?"

"Yeah."

Taki quickly whipped out a camera at ninja speed and snapped a picture. "This is going to sell for alot of money. I think some of Raphael's and Siegfried's fangirls might switch over to your side."

Zasalamel smirked and adjusted his suit. "After all these years, I still got my looks."

Taki suppressed the urge to laugh and merely replied, "Well, let's get going and watch that wedding video of yours."


At the hidden room that Voldo chose that set off this anniversary fiasco...

Xianghua crossed her legs and peered at the two newcomer. "So you're saying Tira sent you to help with my anniversary?"

"Uhhh... yea," lied Sophitia nervously. "See, one of her ravens even led us directly to you." Everyone looked at the black bird that was perched on Voldo's arm.

Shrugging, Xianghua said, "Well, if Tira sent you then I suppose it's fine. Now, go to the living room and put in this tape. Me and honey boo should be there in a few minutes so I want everything to be set when I get there. Got it?"

Grabbing the tape, Setsuka was trying not to laugh at the fact that Xianghua just called Zasalamel honey boo so she just nodded and left with Sophitia. "Ok, let's commence the plan to ruin this event."

Sophtia said, "What do you have in mind?"

Laughing, Setsuka replied, "Xianghua said that the wedding video was about three hours long right? It's 3:30 pm and dinner starts at seven after the video right?"

"Yea..."

"I'm going to hack the vido tape player to play the movie in slow motion and drag it as long as possible," said Setsuak snidely. "You go find, Kilik since he'd be the perfect disaster for this date for Zasalamel. And I'm beginning to think that Xianghua is possessed. Anyway, while everyone's watching the video, say you have to go to the bathroom and commence the search."

"Got it!"


"Everyone stop!" commanded Cassandra imperiously.

"Huh?" Kilik ran into an invisible wall and he slid to the ground with a groan. "What the..."

Seigfried stepped up beside the Greek girl and said, "How did you know that?"

"Know what?"

"The invisible wall..."

Cassandra laughed and said, "There's a sign that said so."

Everyone turned to look at the sign that said;

Dear people,

To make this maze alittle harder, I've thrown in some invisible wall projections as well as a monster that will soon smell your delicious human meat as well as Hilde's expensive perfume called 'Pretty Princess'. And then it'll kill you so you guys better find a way out of here fast. So anyway, good luck on getting out of here alive!

With love and laughter... Algol

"I don't know whether I should be more concerned as to why Hilde's wearing such a girly perfume..."Siegfried looked at Hilde who blushed. "Or whether we should be more worried about the invisible walls and a monster."

"A monster... hmmm..." Cassandra suddenly gasped and said, "Guys! I know what's the monster!"

"What? What is it?" said everyone at the same time.

"It's that thing right behind you!"

Hilde, Siegfried and Kilik turned around to see a really big and scary...

"Minotaur! Run!" shrieked Cassandra. They all turned to run and they smacked themselves into the invisible wall.

"Curse you... Algol..." said the small group.

"For my homeland! I will not embarrass myself while my people are watching their princess on their T.V!" Hilde sweeped a low kick at the minotaur and knocked him to the floor. "Now's our chance everyone! Run!" She leaped over the minotaur's body and the rest of the group followed suit.
