Chapter 2-8: A strange Halloween
A/N: Okay before I start this chapter I need to put something out here, one of the "Guest" reviewers You're complaining to why I am erasing your reviews and the answer is quite simple, the language, you're using profane words in a review which isn't allowed so unless you clean up your language I will keep erasing them simple as that. Also for you trolls trying to post unrelated reviews, I have moderation on for all guest reviews, you post something irrelevant, or profane I erase it because I am like most people who think that spam is annoying and trolling is childish. Also whoever's the one who commented on having a lesbian relationship in this story well piss off! I shipped Applejack and Fluttershy to show that I accept all kinds of relations gay, lesbian or straight so if you're a homophobe then take it elsewhere since I am not the only one here who ships any of the mane 6 with each other. Also why you're review was erased next to the profanity.
For the actual readers sorry about that just needed to get that put out there you're here for the actual story right? Well sorry to keep you waiting here you go!
A new morning dawns as the sun shines into Sonic's room. The blue haired teenager was fast asleep when he is woken up by a loud bang. Startled he runs down stairs to see Shadow had just thrown the PlayStation controller across the room "Did you stay up all night?" Sonic asks
"Yeah…I can't pass this guy!" he complains
"Pass who?" Sonic asks annoyed
"Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts II!" Shadow yells
"What level are you?" Sonic asks
"43 why?" Shadow asks
"You should be at least Level 65 before fighting him" Sonic answers
"What?!" Shadow exclaims "Where did you get that?!"
"IGN…" Sonic yawns "I said you were too addicted to Final Fantasy and now here I catch you playing my copy of Kingdom Hearts II…Shadow you need a break what about Rebecca? Have you done anything with her recently?"
"Now that you mention it…no." Shadow admits
"Well then go take her out or something, I bet you she would love that." Sonic suggests
"You sure?" Shadow asks
"I take Rainbow Dash out all the time and she loves it. Rage and Sunset go and do stuff together too as well. Hell I bet even XL and Twilight are doing stuff right now." Sonic says "It's not like it's uncommon to do stuff with your girlfriend."
"I guess…" Shadow says
"Is that shyness I sense coming from you Shads?" Sonic asks
"N-no!" Shadow says firmly "And don't you forget it!"
"Whatever…" Sonic chuckles "The rest of us are meeting up at Applejack's to talk about Halloween plans you up to coming?"
"Yeah we are going to that Halloween festival that the local amusement park hosts right?" Shadow asks
"I don't know if all of us are going. You know how Fluttershy is." Sonic answers
"Right she would just die from fright being there…" Shadow sighs "Applejack will probably stay back with her."
"What makes you say that Shadow?" Sonic asks
"Well they are a couple Sonic or are you seriously telling me you didn't pick up on any of the signs?"
"Well…no." Sonic answers thinking "But now that you mention it I think I know what you mean."
Meanwhile at Rage's house Sunset stood outside the door and knocked. Soon Rage answers it and hugs her "Sunset!" he smiles "It's great to see you!"
"Good to see you too Rage." She replies with a hug "I came by to see what you were doing…but now it seems…" she trails off noticing he was still in sleepwear not his normal clothing.
"I was just about get ready for the day…" Rage answers "Come on in I won't be long."
"If you say so." Sunset answers sitting on the couch in his living room as he heads up stairs to get ready. Sunset heard the shower turn on a she turns the TV on to find it on Netflix with Fairy Tale's episode listing up. "Huh didn't know he was in to that kind of stuff." Sunset says hitting the play button for the first episode since she hadn't seen it only heard about it. About 5 minutes in she heard Rage come down the stairs and she looked to see him. There he was his dark grey jacket trailing a little behind him. A dark green undershirt to boot. His jeans were loose and shoes were red with a black horizontal strip in the center. He was still putting on a set of fingerless grey gloves as he walked down. His hair was still wet and spikey but it was a little droopy compared to how it normally looked.
"Hay." He says looking at Natsu on screen "Seems like you decided to watch Fairy Tale."
"Yeah I had no idea you liked it." Sunset says
"Yeah not kind of the guy you would expect to be an anime fan…" Rage answers with a blush
"Well I haven't seen Fairy Tale in ages so I didn't think you would mind if I watched the first episode while you were in the shower." Sunset responds "But…question for you."
"Ask away." Rage says
"How come you always wear that same outfit don't you have others?" Sunset asks him
"Well I don't know why I always wear this outfit to be quite honest." Rage answers "I enjoy wearing it but I do have some other outfits I could wear."
"Do you even wash it?" Sunset asks hand and he nods
"Of course I do. I have multiple versions of my shirt, pants, gloves and jacket. I had a good friend as a tailor back home and he would make me these for a good price." Rage answers "No point in wearing a dirty outfit."
"Right." Sunset agrees as he sits down on the couch next to her. "So the other girls wanted to go up to the local amusement park tonight for their Halloween Festival. You interested in going with them?" she asks him
"I would love to go!" Rage smiles "Even Fluttershy?"
"No, I think she and Applejack are going to stay behind to take Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo trick or treating." Sunset responds
"Can't blame them I hear the place is supposed to be real scary during the hours of the festival." Rage smiles sitting back as they resume the episode.
That night Rage and Sunset arrive and find the group awaiting them. "Hay where have you been?" Sonic asks as Prime walks up
"So you and Sunset came together…" he comments before smirking
"And what's wrong with that?" Sage asks as he approaches the group "so it seems everyone is going to this then huh? But where's Fluttershy and Applejack?"
"You're kidding right?" Sonic asks "Fluttershy wouldn't be caught dead in a place like this."
"Well that doesn't answer for Applejack though." Prime says
"She is staying with Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash answers
"Okay." Prime replies "So we getting tickets or what?"
"Yeah." Sonic says as they walk up and buy tickets to the park and enter. All around people were in costumes scaring others and lines for haunted houses and other scary attractions were moving along slowly. "Just wait for midnight." Sonic smirks
"Why?" Rainbow asks
"The witching hour." Shadow says "When all of the real stuff starts." He smirks
"Like what?" Twilight asks
"Oh you know, the abductions, murder, slaughter that kind of stuff." Rage says counting them off on his hand making the girls look in horror "Oh lighten up we're kidding like that would really happen in the middle of an amusement park." Rage laughs
"What was the last horror movie you watched Rage?" Shadow asks
"John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness." Rage answers "Why?"
"Well that was from 1987!" Sonic says "This is 2015!"
"Yeah and the genera hasn't changed a bit. Dumbass protagonists make dumb choices, everyone but one or two people die, the monster seems to die but lives only for a sequel to come out a few years later or people are left with that uneasy feeling afterwards. I mean come on who the hell would walk into a dark basement with a blood trail alone? Who the hell wouldn't use a big mag light as a bludgeoning tool and besides, houses, camps, farms or small rural communities are where 99% of these take place anyway!"
"Well Prince of Darkness takes place in a Church, Dawn of the Dead takes place in a shopping mall." Rainbow Dash says
"Well what about amusement parks?" Rage asks
"The Elephant Man 1980, Closed for the Season 2010, Twilight Syndrome: Dead Go Round from 2008 and Final Destination 3 from 20-" Shadow says before Sonic stops him
"Don't you say that year." He says but Shadow moves sonic hand
"Final Destination 3 from 2006." He finishes and Sonic groans
"Don't remind of that year…"Sonic asks "It was the worst year of my whole life…"
"Why?" Rage asks and Sonic looks at him and Rage then knew what his blue friends was referring to "oh…"
"Why is 2006 such a bad year Sonic?" Twilight asks
"That's because in 2006 a game titled Sonic the Hedgehog or what is commonly referred to ask Sonic '06 came out. It was one of the worst games of all time including bugs, glitches, crappy characters and Sonic kissing a" She is then silenced by Sonic, Shadow and Rage
"YOU'RE NOT HELPING PINKIE!" They all yell as Rage drags her away
"Excuse us for a second…" Rage says
"What's with being such a party pooper Rage?" Pinkie asks "I was only going to say when he kissed that human girl."
"First of all she kissed him," Rage sighs "Second of all… have you ever heard of the fourth wall?" he asks and Pinkie looks seemingly to no one
"Hay you over there behind the computer screen or mobile phone screen or whatever! Can you believe this?" she asks
"Pinkie!" Rage yells "This is serious! The fourth wall is not something to be taken lightly."
"Oh well if destroying it is taking it lightly then don't worry cause I am reeeeeealy good at that." Pinkie says
"No!" Rage says "You can't break it you can make things awkward for all kinds of people on different levels! Watch next thing we know random people we don't know are going to ask us questions and we have to answer them whether we want to or not."
"Oh…so don't break it?" Pinkie asks
"Yes." Rage sighs "There is a reason it's there trust me."
"Okie dokie loki!" Pinkie says as they return to the group
"Sorry about that." Rage says "Just needed to explain something to Pinkie Pie."
"Well it's about time too! The witching hour is upon us." Twilight says in a spooky voice before a kid in a costume scares her and she jumps with an "Ah!" making the others laugh
"You guys are crazy." Sunset says "Nothing bad comes from the witching hour. I have been around during midnight all the time and nothing happened."
"Does a failed ride count?" Sonic asks pointing to a swing ride as a car comes loose and flies at them.
"DUCK!" Sage yells and the group ducks as the cart flies past them and hits the ground nearby. Inside was a woman and a younger boy was flung from it. Sonic leaps into action and catches the young boy before he lands flat on his back
"What do we do?" Twilight asks as Rage runs up to the lady, the mother he thought as he pulls her out from the rubble.
"Sunset go call 911." He says looking at the large gash in her leg "Shadow go get the first aid kit that the ticket lady had." He says putting his hands on the wound "Don't worry miss I am going to help you."
"Is my son okay?" she asks in shock "Where is he?!"
"He was flung from the cart my friend caught him don't worry he's safe. Just worry about yourself right now." Rage says watching the blood seep out, if he didn't do anything soon she was going to bleed out and Shadow was taking forever. Rage sighs and takes his coat off wrapping it around her leg to stop the bleeding. "You are going to be okay, an ambulance is on its way here." Rage says as Shadow runs back with the first aid kit Rage takes it and quickly changes from his jacket bandage to a gauze wrap before the ambulance arrives. Soon followed by a police car.
"Freeze!" the driver yells as Rage is tackled by another one
"Hay what the hell is going on?!" Rage yells
"What are you doing?!" Twilight asks "He didn't do anything!"
"A woman is critically wounded and this kid has blood on a jacket in his hands that is enough to charge him with attempted murder.' The officer says
"But that isn't what happened!" Sonic yells putting the child down who runs over to his mother
"Then until the lady can tell us what happened this kid is coming with us." The officer says
"You can't do that!" Sunset yells
"Yes we can." He answers before the lady limps up to him
"May I?" she asks
"Ma'am you shouldn't be walking!" a medic says "Please you'll open that wound up that the red head made."
"That is simply not the case!" she objects
"Then what did happen miss?" The officer asks
"Miss Orange." She says "If you want to know a ride I was on with my son went crazy and flung us off…" she then grunts in pain and sits down in a wheelchair that the paramedic brought to her. "..The blue haired one saved my kid." She says pointing at Sonic "And that boy you are trying to arrest saved my life."
"He used the jacket as a bandage wrap until a first aid kit was available, if it wasn't for his quick thinking she might very well be dead." A female says looking at her
"And who are you?" the officer asks
"Redheart I am a nurse I saw what happened. You have no right to arrest this child. You had better let him go now." She says
"Well sir?" the officer holding Rage to the hood of the car asks
"Let him go." The other one sighs "We have more important things to deal with now." The other officer does so and releases Rage who rubs his wrists before he walks over to his friends and they decide to leave but Mrs. Orange now being hauled to the ambulance pulls Rage aside
"Thank you for saving me young man I do not believe I got your name." she asks
"It's Rage Chaotic." He answers "It was no big deal." He smiles "Get well soon!" he calls as the paramedics close the doors and the vehicle takes off. The group then heads home for the night.
The next morning around 7 Rage was sitting on his couch about to watch the new episode of NCIS: New Orleans he had recorded before Sunset knocks and he answers it. She runs it "You have got to see this!" she says changing the channel to the news station
"What?" Rage asks looking at Thunder Lane the Channel 7 news anchor
"Welcome back to CLTV Channel 7 news." He says "This just in since our 10 o clock broadcast last night from the local amusement park Fun Plex a local hero saves an injured woman. Last night around midnight Orange a local mother and her son Orange blossom were riding the Flying Dutchman ride when their car was thrown loose from the ride. Her son was ejected and caught by a local resident named Sonic T. Hog. Orange however was trapped under the rubble where another local teenager Rage Chaotic came to her aid. After using his own jacket as a bandage he was mistakenly placed under arrest by local officer Blue King who is now on suspension. Orange says that thanks to the heroic actions of Rage she was able to see her son again and her life was saved."
"Wow." Rage says sighing
"What's wrong?" Sunset asks "You're a hero to the whole city!"
"Exactly…" Rage says "Being CHS's hero is one thing, using my special powers to stop darkness is one thing and something that only CHS will ever know or believe. But now the whole town thinks I am."
"Not just the town I heard it made the CNN World News." Sunset says "Amusement park disasters are rare so when one happens it almost always makes world news."
"Yeah, yeah." Rage says "I just don't take well to being in the spotlight"
"It will blow over." Sunset says before the door rings
"Who could that be?" Rage asks walking to the door and a tall large man with orange hair and the kid Sonic had saved just hours earlier stood there. "Can I help you?"
"I wanted to thank you for saving my wife I am Julius Orange." He says
"Thank you for saving my mamma." Orange blossom says hugging Rage's leg "You're so awesome! You're my hero! When I grow up I wanna be just like you!"
Rage smiles and kneels down putting his hand on the kids head "If you try hard enough you can. Just follow what you think is right and it will always lead you even through the toughest times." He says before standing back up "So how's Mrs. Orange?"
"She's doing fine now thanks to you." Julius answers "She will be out of the hospital in a few days."
"Good to hear." Rage smiles "But how did you find where I live?"
"Some hyper pink haired girl told us." Orange blossom says
"For Christ's sake Pinkie Pie." Rage thinks
"We're sorry to bother you we just wanted to give you our thanks." Julius says as they turn to leave
"Take care." Rage says closing the door and sighs
"Wow I didn't know you were so good with kids." Sunset says
"Well back home I used to volunteer at the local orphanage after I began living alone. I guess it was my way of thanking Ms. Kinders for everything she did for me and my brothers when we were there." Rage answers "And I guess seeing Mrs. Orange reminded me of my own past. I helped her because I didn't want to have a child lose their mother like I did." Rage sighs a tear coming to his eye
"Rage… are you okay?" Sunset asks as he starts to cry. She gently hugs him and he cries into her shoulder. "There there…." She says looking out the window at the rising sun "It' will be okay."
To be continued
A/N: By the way I am opening an ask the cast at the beginning and/or end of each chapter questions to each cast member may be asked, one to three question(s) per cast member, per chapter and you can ask as many as you want via review or PM gust reviewers (non-site members) must use a handle when asking for I will not put Guest for a name it becomes to generic and difficult to keep up with. Especially with all of the Gust titles I have to delete for different reasons as I mentioned above as well as others. On that note if your complaining saying I can't take negative criticism I can it's just that 99% of all the negative reviews contain foul language and as such I erase them in moderation simply because they do not apply to the rules and look ignorant, seriously if you guys saw them you would think an elementery student wrote them...starting to believe that myself now actually...
