Facilier smiled at the despair the young cub was feeling. It was time to show the fair occupants just what was in store for them. The witch Doctor tipped his hat and his 'friends' provided a viewing portal. He relished in the collective gasp he heard from the crowd and turned to smile at them. "Greetings one and all! I have wonderful news, it's time to bring back the old ways." He moved aside so everyone could see the two spirits he held captive in the vision of the future. "Thanks to these two my dear friends on the other side are soon to be free from their prison and with them all of you will be back and kicking! Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!"
As his laughing continued green and purple smoke started to seep from the portal onto the ground.
Facilier grinned evilly as a skull mask materialized on his face. (1) "Darkness falls across the land. The midnight hour is close at hand. Creatures crawl in search of blood to terrorize you all's neighborhood."
The smoke enveloped a skeleton and flashed crimson red. When it fell away the skeleton turned red glowing eye sockets at the crowd and called in a way that sent chills up everyone's spines. "And whosoever shall be found without the soul for getting down must stand and face the hounds of hell and rot inside a corpse's shell."
Though the spirits, mythics, legends, and monsters tried to run the smoke was faster. It surrounded the clearing blocking any exit. Those that tried to fly away, the smoke shot at in columns that consumed them and left behind a corrupted version. All around the creators of the midnight portion of the festival were turning under the smoke's influence.
The beings from the other side pressed against the portal eagerly drooling at the feast right before them. "The demons squeal in sheer delight, it's you they spy so plump so ripe! You try to scream but no more sun you'll ever see."
The non-monster and midnight festival goers were now completely outnumbered as Cerberus' snapped, ghosts reached, vampires hissed, and witches conjured.
Chesh could feel the pull of the smoke as well. He purposefully edged away from the Guardians and the others. Smiling sadly he vanished bit by bit repairing right at the smoke's edge. It rushed him and he vanished again. He lead the smoke on a merry chase for a good while but eventually some of it caught his leg. He tried to separate from the trapped appendage but the smoke was too fast. When it left him his Cheshire cat grin had a sinister edge.
Corena blew the smoke away from her with her wings but she knew that it was only a temporary solution. "Get back, away from me as fast as you can!" She told the others behind her. The tried to protest but she smacked them with the blunt part of her tail and sent them flying.
"The foulest stench is in the air, the funk of forty thousand years, and grizzly ghouls from every tomb are closing in to seal your doom!" The other side bingings chanted.
Corena finally lost her fight and the smoke consumed her. In the red flash's absence stood a crazed beast from Greek myth.
"Though you fight to stay alive your body starts to shiver! For no one can resist the evil of the thriller!" The portal was on the verge of disclosing, the beings from the other side ready to attack alongside their mind controlled army.
The Guardians got in defensive stances. The spirits, mythics, and legends who could fight did the same, herding those who could not fight to the center of a protective circle.
