Act 15: One Jacked Up Halloween- Part 2
Director/Erik had weaseled her way into a room that was blockaded by several props and wood stacks, to investigate a sound they had heard within.
"See anything?" Riku asked.
"Nope, hold on, someone give me a flashlight." Director/Erik said.
(Sephiroth hands over his light)
Director/Erik took hold of it and turned it on, suddenly the door slammed shut and a loud scream came from the room.
"DIRECTOR!" Everyone screamed. Riku, Sora, Cloud and Sephiroth went up to the door and started banging on it.
"Director! Director! What happened!"
(A loud thump sent them away from the door startled.)
"Move." Ansem ordered and he summoned his Guardian to tear the door off. Everyone ran inside to see...nothing.
"Wh-where did she go?" Kairi asked everyone.
"She...disappeared..." Cloud said in disbelief.
(The sound of a ghostly scream surrounds the cast)
"Wh-what do we do now? Director is gone...what can we do?"
"Okay. This is no time to panic..." Cloud stated as a white figure slowly appeared behind him.
The casts' jaws dropped.
"C-C-Cl-Cl-Cloud!" Kairi shrieked pointing to the figure behind him.
"What?" He slowly turned around to be face to face with the ghost, and then it vanished.
Cloud paused for a moment and turned back around.
"Okay...start panicking..."
"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" Sora yelled running around in circles with his hands straight up.
Everyone started running around like Sora, and stopped when Cloud heard someone loudly calling his name.
"Cloud! Cloud!" a girl's voice called. Cloud looked everywhere but could not find who called him.
"Up there Cloud!" Kairi pointed up to the rafters.
"Tifa!"
"Yeah! Wait! I'll come to you!" The girl in the super short mini-skirt yelled as she leapt off the rafters.
"YIKES!" Cloud gasped as he ran to catch her.
"Thanks, Cloud" D she chirped as she landed in his arms.
"Why are you here?" He asked.
"I know who's causing this mess, Cloud."
"Yeah, us too..."
"Really?"
(Ansem cuts in)
"This is clearly the work of a ghostly siren who has the ability to command MY Heartless..."
"No..."
"Oh?"
"It was..."
"STOP! STOP IT, STOP IT! Leave him alone!" The woman's voice whom they had heard the first time they came in.
"Who's there!" Sephiroth yelled.
"He is mine...stop trying to take him from me!"
"Would you stop it A–."
"SHUT UP! You may have known him your whole life, but he and I..."
"Oh, I've had enough of this..." Tifa growled, and kicked an old wall down that was behind her to reveal...Aeris!
"AERIS!" Everyone gasped, shocked.
"No! No! Pay no attention to that woman behind the broken down wall!"
"Aeris...why?" Cloud asked.
"..." she hesitated, "Alright! I admit it! It was me!"
"But why?"
"Because, that...wench!" She pointed to Tifa, "Stole you from me! So I came up with the plan to trick you all here, including her, and make you stay with me and dispose of HER as well! It would've been perfect! I used the old legend of this studio and used the ghost's character to complete it all..."
"Question!" Kairi said raising her hand.
"What is it?"
"How would scaring Cloud to death make him want to stay here?"
"...Well..."
"And where did Director go?"
"Hold on...I..."
"And how did you get the ghost hologram to appear with such crappy equipment?"
"Wait a sec, will ya—Wait...what ghost hologram?" Aeris stopped.
The cast turned pale. And stood there silently...
(The cast runs out of the studio screaming)
"Have they left Miss Director...?" a quiet soothing voice came from the top floor where the Director/Erik was.
"Yes, thank you for the great Halloween scare, Miss Lenne. I'm sure they'll never forget it."
"Of course, dear...it was very entertaining, the first fun thing I've done in a very long time..."
Director/Erik turned to the ghostly figure who was none other than FFX-2's Lenne! And gave her a hug, and left the scene.
"Good luck with your play Miss Director..."
She stopped and smiled. "Happy Halloween."
