Chapter 5-Halloween Havok-thon
(AN-This was actually the name of a festival where new bands like mine come and play and we get a chance to win a cash prize. We won a 1000 dollar prize at this festival for playing this one song. It belongs to me and Symbiotic. Also the way the characters look a lot like me and some of my band members).
"Mwuhhahahaah," Gaara said creeping up on Temari. He was dressed up as a mummy, and was covered with white sheets. "Temari I want your brains."
"Give it up Gaara I am not falling for that one," Temari said. She was dressed as a banshee. Her hair was let down and she wore and old tattered dress.
"I still want your brains," he said. Temari let out the highest pitched shrill ever heard by Gaara, bursting his eardrums.
"Crap I was just kidding," Gaara said walking away.
"Anyone seen Sasuke kun," Sakura asked.
"We are right here," Sasuke said sliding down from the ceiling on a windmill blade. He was now wearing a black long sleeve T-shirt with a large white Spider on it, had black and white gloves on, and black boots with black sweat pants.
"What are you," Sakura asked.
"We are Venom now," Sasuke said jumping off the ceiling.
"Enough with the charade and sit down," Sakura asked. "But nice Venom costume."
"Thanks I thought it would be cool to where at the Halloween Havok thon tonight since our band is called Symbiotic and we all are named after symbiotes," he said.
"Halloween what," Sakura said.
"The Halloween Havok thon," Sasuke said. "Didn't Hinata tell you that she got us signed up in the band contest."
"But we never practiced," Sakura complained.
"We did my little witch," Sasuke said looking at her witch costume. "The whole time we practiced Carnival Evil (name of the song) was the song we were going to play."
"Oh good," Sakura said. The band which is Sasuke on guitar, Naruto on keyboard, Tenten on drums, Hinata on turntables, Neji on vocals, and Sakura on bass. Neji and Hinata walked into the kitchen. Neji was simply wearing a lot of black and had his earrings in which were holes in his ears shaped like bolts with rings in them, and three spikes on his chin (this is what I have on my head) along with some other things that made him look emo. Hinata was going for a more gangster look, wearing a Yankees hat to the side with a gold chain she had gotten from DJ AM, a basketball jersey and baggy blue jeans (at a few of our concerts we went on dressing like we were from a gang).
"Check out Hinata," Sasuke said.
"Yeah that's right," she said.
"Going to mix it up on Carnival Evil," Sakura asked.
"You bet I am," she said. Naruto then walked into the room, wearing a red and black stripped shirt and cargo pants of the same color.
"Let the carnage begin," Naruto said.
"Nice," Neji said. "Hey where's Shikamaru?"
"Right here," Shikamaru said walking in as Jason.
"Nice Jason Shika kun," Temari said walking with him.
"Thanks Temari chan," Shikamaru said.
"Did Shikamaru say something with enthusiasm," Naruto exclaimed.
"Knew it would hit you soon Shikamaru," Sasuke said eating his breakfast.
Later that night after doing some major trick or treating in the afteroon the group piled up what needed to be put in the back of their Dodge Ram SRT 10 on it and then drove down to the town park. The whole thing had been re decorated and it was adding an eerie effect to it. "They seriously out did themselves here," Naruto said.
"It is cool I'll have to say that," Sasuke said trying to find a parking spot. He found one and then pulled in. He then went to the back and took out his Dean Dime Razorback guitar. Sakura followed him out and then saw someone she had admired ever since she began playing bass.
"Is that," she said running up to a man with long blonde hair in a black T shirt. "Mr. Araya Mr. Araya," she said making a reference to Tom Araya, the bassist from Slayer.
"Hey," he said. "Who are you?"
"Mr. Araya I'm Sakura Haruno I'm a huge fan of your work," Sakura said.
"Really," he said.
"Yeah I play the same type of ESP bass you play," she told him.
"Wow that's extreme," he said.
"Can I get an autograph," she asked taking out a small black book.
"Sure," he said. He took the black book and took out a pen. "To my favorite bass player Sakura Haruno," he said. He handed the book back to her.
"Thank you Mr. Araya," she exclaimed. "Is Slayer performing tonight?"
"No actually we are the judges," Tom said. "What's your bands name?"
"Symbiotic."
"Well from my clipboard," he said taking it out. "You are last. See you up there."
"See you Mr. Araya." Sasuke came up to her.
Close up with Sakura
"Getting to meet Tom Araya and find out that I get the chance to see Slayer judge us is just a dream come true," Sakura said. "I listen to Slayer a lot and when I got my bass I said to my mom "I want the same one Tom Araya uses that one mom." "Being able to meet him and get his autograph means a lot to me. Thank you Tom!"
"So Slayer is judging," he said. "Well the contest doesn't start for another hour so you want to do something?"
"I don't know what about the others."
"Well Neji and Tenten are going around to check out some of the games and Naruto and Hinata are going on the Haunted Hayride you want to do the Haunted Corn Maze."
"Sure ok if we have time to kill," she said. The two walked off hand in hand.
"So do you want anything," Neji asked.
"No nothing," she said.
"Come on something," Neji begged. Tenten looked around and saw a few spinning wheel games.
"One of those," she told him pointing to it.
"Ok," she said. Neji went up to one labeled "Electronics."
"Five bucks," the guy behind the counter said. Neji put a five dollar bill on the spot blue zero.
"What do you want if I win," he asked his friend.
"I don't know," Tenten told him. "The Xbox 360 will do."
"Ok fine," Neji said. After more people came the attendant started up the two wheels, one which chose the winner and the other chose the prize. The wheel started spinning and then Neji hit the button to stop it. The first remarkably landed on blue zero.
"You won," Tenten said.
"I'm not done yet," Neji said. The other wheel spun slowly then stopped on choice prize. "The Xbox 360 please," Neji said. The woman took one off the shelf and handed it to him (AN this is how I won one at a boardwalk.)
"Here you go," the attendant said. "Happy Halloween."
Close up with Tenten(who is dressed punk like Neji)
"I have to admit," she said. "That was really nice of Neji to do that for me I could've lost five bucks but I have an Xbox 360 now. It's probably the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me."
"You scared Hinata chan," Naruto said.
"No not at all," Hinata said sweating. She was scared out of her wits, she had never been on something like this before. She looked at Naruto, who was dressed as Carnage while she was in her gangster outfit and they got into the back of the old tractor that said on the back "Spooky Sam's Ghost Tours".
"You ready," the driver said.
"Never haven't been," Hinata said.
"Then hang on and stay in the back at all times," he said. He started the tractor and they took off out into the woods.
"How long is this ride," Naruto said.
"About an hour and a half," the driver told him.
"We need to be back in an hour," Naruto told him.
"Oh there's a shortcut through an old graveyard," the man said. "It's extra scary though."
"We don't care," Naruto said. The man kept on driving the tractor deeper and deeper into the woods and it only got darker. Suddenly out of the back with them a man in a cloak jumped out with a scythe.
"Ahhhh," they both screamed. The grasped each other, and the man took two swipes at them before jumping out.
"My god that was weird," Hinata said. But then the sound of horse hooves could be heard, and a galloping horse came up along side of them. Even more scary was that the rider was holding a flaming pumpkin in his hand and he had no head.
"It's the headless horseman," Naruto said.
"Take cover," Hinata yelled. The both ducked and he threw the pumpkin clean over their heads before turning down another path. It exploded on a tree.
"They aren't kidding," Naruto said. They only got deeper into the woods, seeing people hanging from trees and fake bodies burning on wood poles in a pentagram.
"Satanic," Hinata said.
"Hang we're going through the graveyard," the driver exclaimed. They went through a pair of iron gates and started down a cobblestone path. All of the sudden the hands shot out from the graves and people began coming up out of them.
"Brains," they said. "Brains."
"Ahhhhh," they both screamed again hugging each other in the process. More zombies appeared on all sides and people digging up graves were seen being pulled in. But in the span of half an hour the ride had ended.
"Another couple who says they aren't scared and they come out wetter then they would if they were in bed," the driver said looking at Hinata's jeans, which were stained with urine.
"Oh Jesus," she said. She ran back to the pickup truck and got a pair of clean undergarments and pants. She slipped them on.
Close up with Naruto
"That had to have been one of the scariest things I've ever been through," Naruto said. "Great job Spooky Sam."
"Come on Sasuke kun," Sakura said.
"We're almost out," Sasuke said. Then a man with a chainsaw jumped out at them. They tried to run away but he started following them, the chainsaw going at full speed. Luckily the made it out.
"Close one," she said.
Close up with Sasuke
"That trail, from the executioners to Jason to Freddy Krueger to that last guy was really amazingly scary," Sasuke said. "Alright."
The four met back up at their truck. "You guys ready for the show," Tenten asked.
"Yep," Naruto said grabbing his Korg TR76 Music Workstation 76 Key Keyboard and its stand making his way towards the stage.
"Alright then lets do this," Sasuke said grabbing his Razorback and then heading towards the stage.
"Hey Tom," Sakura said.
"Hey Sakura," Tom said giving her a high five. "This is the band Symbiotic."
"Yeah," she said. She pointed to her friend. "That's Sasuke Uchiha on guitar, Naruto Uzumaki on keyboard, Hinata Hyuga on turntables, Neji Hyuga on vocals and Tenten Himura on drums."
"We know you guys are," Sasuke said. "I always listened to you guys. Right next to Venom you guys are my favorites."
"Venom they are good," Kerry King(one of the guitarists for Slayer) said.
"Well wait on back stage," Don Lombardo(drummer for Slayer) told them. The group walked to the back of the stage and sat waiting for what seemed like hours before they started. "Alright you're on," he told them.
"Last but not least this is Symbiotic," Tom said. The stage went dark and Hinata made a wind like sound with her turntables. Naruto then followed with a rather eerie organ sound.
"I don't this message is written in red," Neji ssaid.
"Simply put I don't think this was meant to be read," he sang.
"Stay from the graveyard where corpses fester."
"For you will find a grave with the skull of a jester."
"Feed him the token all shiny and new." He went quiet for a few seconds.
"And Carnival Evil will come for you," he screamed. The light came on and Sakura and Sasuke could be seen on the ceiling sticking to it because of their chakra. Sasuke started up his guitar and the audience was wowed by the two of them. They jumped down and the audience thought they were screwed but they landed onto their feet. The audience applauded.
"The sky has gone dark the night has gone black."
"The gates of hell have closed there's no turning back."
"Running towards you is a motley looking crew."
"It's Satan's horde they are gonna eat you! It's Carnival Evil."
"It's a hell of a ride, Carnival Evil."
"You know you're gonna die, Carnival Evil."
"Sun will come up and everything will be gone."
"Because you're going to the place other the great beyond. Carnival Evil."
"They'll rip out your bones they'll eat out your eyes."
"Theres' gonna be nothing left for the flies."
"The corpses will come and stain the ground red."
"Someone won't be returning home to bed. It's Carnival Evil."
"It's a hell of a ride, Carnival Evil."
"You know you're gonna die, Carnival Evil."
"Sun will come up and everything will be gone."
"Because you're going to the place other the great beyond. Carnival Evil."
Sasuke and Sakura stared the lead up to a solo. "There's no going back," Neji sang. "There's no point to fight back," he screamed. Sasuke then started up his solo and when it stopped Hinata continued making the sounds more eerie on her turntables after while she and Naruto did their part.
"Carnival Evil, It's a hell of a ride, Carnival Evil."
"You know you're gonna die, Carnival Evil."
"Sun will come up and everything will be gone."
"Because you're going to the place other the great beyond. Carnival Evil."
"Carnival Evil, It's a hell of a ride, Carnival Evil."
"You know you're gonna die, Carnival Evil."
"Sun will come up and everything will be gone."
"Because you're going to the place other the great beyond. Carnival Evil." Tenten then hit her drums a few more times and then they stopped. The crowd went wild.
"We rock," Hinata said.
"Out loud," Sasuke said following him. He went up to Sakura. "Great job Sakura chan." He kissed her on the cheek.
"Thank you Sasuke kun," she said kissing him on the lips.
"And the winner is," Tom said opening an envelope. "Symbiotic's Carnival Evil."
"Alright," Naruto said picking up Hinata.
"Naruto kun," she said.
"Sorry," he said putting her down.
"I got you," she said picking him up the same way.
"Hahahahaa," he laughed. She put him down. "That was amazing Hinata chan."
"You're pretty amazing yourself Naruto kun," Hinata told him as she got her turntables. After they got their things and got a few pictures taken with Slayer holding the check for the 1000 dollar cash prize they got back in their truck and went home. It was one night they'd remember forever.
