The Pillar of Autumn, a spaceship containing various worlds within its hull. Many sections of the ship celebrate similar Holidays including Halloween. He Fei castle will be the point of interest this year. Sun Ce, the eldest son of Sun Jian was entrusted to watching over He Fei castle while on a trip.

Excuse me narrator, I'm the star of this show. Allow me to take this off your hands. Thank you.

I would like to share a story ladies and gentlemen it is a Halloween story about pranks that go wrong, elaborate revenge plots, and drinking contests. My old man gave me the reigns to run He Fei as it has been some time since he left me in charge with something. You're probably finding it odd that my responsibilities changes from time to time right? Well I am affiliated with a small group of troublemakers that stir the pot around the Pillar of Autumn. Anyways, im getting ahead of myself.

My best friend Zhou Yu was not informed of my Halloween until a guard brought it to his attention. I was busy sorting out internal affairs, prepping invitations, setting up decorations, etc when I hear Zhou Yu's panting near me after running.

"Sun Ce. What is the meaning of this?"

"Meaning of what?" I answered seemingly distracted.

Zhou Yu angrily shoves a flier into my face gaining my attention, "This!"

I took a moment to obverse the paper, realizing that he was referring to the invitations.

"Come on Zhou Yu. It's just a small party."

"Small," he questioned. "they're over 500 messengers sent out. How are you supposed to fit all those guests here?"

"We'll make room. If needed, I'll use the east part of the castle."

Zhou Yu's appalled expression said it all, he's scolding backed up how frustrated he was over this.

"Sun Ce, when will you ever learn?"

"Sorry."

Zhou Yu sighs a moment, collecting his thoughts with his eyes closed.

"Ce," he continued. "Your father entrusted you with this castle after stripping your authority over the land. Remember Chi Bi?"

"Come on Zhou Yu that is not fair. I had no idea the Leviathan was going to turn lambent."

He scoffs, "No you didn't make her lambent but you should have known that the area was still being cleaned up with all that imulsion…."

I had to cut him off there as the memories of that eventful day was overshadowed by the seething rage from my father.

"I know I know. Listen, Halloween is tomorrow, and I wanted to do something with my pals while father was away."

He calmly inquires, "Why didn't you talk to me first?"

My attitude changed, speaking humbly, "Because I wanted to host something on my own without any incidents or without you bailing me out every time."

"Very well. I appreciate the initiative Ce. I look forward to seeing this Halloween party."

Zhou Yu leaves the room after encouraging me. I spent the next day preparing for the event without any sleep. Eventually I decided to open the east castle just in case. To my disappointment only a handful of guests arrived. The guards checked to for the invitations at the entrance ensuring all who came had an invitation but I didn't care since there was not as much guests.

From the Shu we got Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Ma Dai, & "The man of justice" Ma Chao. Long story about the quotation I'll share that later. Xiahou Dun and Guo Jia. Xiahou Dun probably only came to get one up on Guan Yu again. Then out of nowhere, Lu Bu along with his bastard of an adoptive father Dong Zhou arrived at the party. Ichabod Crane and Bron Bones came soon after and that was the end of the guests.

Zhou Yu lost his temper when he realized Zhuge Liang was one of the guests. "Ce. A word with you."

I follow him into the hallway for a moment. "Why didn't you tell me you invited Zhuge Liang? You know how I feel about him," he asked.

Considering I didn't think about the invitations thoroughly, I folded my arms responding, "Buddy, listen this is a Halloween party. Can't you just….."

Zhou Yu interrupted, "absolutely not. I refuse to entertain that arrogant man."

"It's because of his April fool's prank isn't."

Zhou Yu's rage boiled over, his face changing into a blood shot red color and body shaking. A moment later Zhou Yu relaxes.

"Zhou Yu, have you considered getting your revenge? You're one of the most intelligent people I know. Surely you have thought about various ways on humiliating him?"

He chuckles for a moment, "Yes, there isn't a night where I haven't thought about getting my vengeance on him. Perhaps the moon shines upon me this evening."

"Now you've come home. Lets enjoy this party now."

We returned to the main hall to entertain our guests for the night. Zhuge Liang greets us and thanking us for the invitation. Whew, I could feel the cold breeze between those two when they shook hands. The remaining time of the Halloween party did not go without a hitch. Zhang Fei, Ma Dai, Ma Chao, & Dong Zhou were having a drinking contest. Those guys can hold their liquor, it felt like hours and the rest of the soldiers and civilians were cheering them on. Ma Chao fell pretty quickly after tapping out from several bottles and standing up.

Ma Dai was laughing hysterically, "Where's your justice now cousin?"

I don't know how Ma Chao found the strength, but he ripped one of the legs of the bench Dong Zhou was sitting on chucking it to Ma Dai. Crashing onto the floor, Dong Zhou loses his grip releasing the alcohol into the air. Ma Dai vomits on Dong Zhou immediately after the wooden leg slams against his throat.

I couldn't help but laugh at what I was seeing, "So this is what a pig looks like covered in filth?"

Already fuming with anger, Dong Zhou channels energy throughout his body to activate what we call Musou 7 version 2. A 6ft ball of flaming energy manifested above him as Dong Zhou rose his arms.

"INSECTS!" yelled Dong Zhou.

Before he could launch his attack, another fireball collides causing it to expand followed by a nice explosion. Don't worry it wasn't too big. Just enough to literally shatter all the remaining alcohol within a 10 meter radius, sending Ma Chao, Ma Dai and some of the participants that joined. I let out a whistle.

I turned around to find out who interrupted Dong Zhou's Musou and to my surprise it was Ken Masters. He was dressed as a vampire, I could tell from the pale skin, the tuxedo and the fake blood from his mouth. Oh, I failed to mention his hair was a mixture between grey and silver.

"Ken, flashy entrance as usual."

"Sun Ce, thanks for the invite."

We both bumped our wrists against each other as our greeting.

"Any of the other Hotshots coming," I inquired.

Ken shakes his head, "No. They are all in different parts of the Autumn and causing mischief there."

Out of nowhere, the air felt tense as we both sensed something was about to happen. Ken pointed behind me. I had to turn to see what was up, seeing Zhang Fei's body glowing red. The seething anger expressed that intense aura. Dong Zhou started coughing from the smoke.

"WHO DARES TO DEFY ME?"

Dong Zhou squanders from the cloud of smoke bumping into Zhang Fei shin still yelling. Zhang Fei angrily grabs Dong Zhou by the collar hoisting him upward to eye level. His thunderous roar silenced the pig's squealing followed by a power throw into the refreshments area. Zhu Xu showing down on the delicious food was cut short thanks to Dong Zhou crashing into the tables knocking over the food.

I couldn't help but fell sorry for Zhu Xu. His depressed expression said it all. Zhou Yu taps me on the shoulder gaining my attention. "Ce. A moment if you will."

"What's up?"

"First…" he pauses observing the mess. "What happened here?"

"Take your pick an alcohol contest that went wrong, Ken's Hadoken to cancel Dong Zhou's and raging monster Zhang Fei and….." before finishing the sound of fighting could be heard and we all faced the dinner noticing Zhang Fei, Xhu Zu and Dong Zhou beating on each other.

"this happened," I continued. "Ken. You want in on that?

"and ruin a suit my wife picked for me?" Ken chuckled.

We all laugh for moment when Zhou Yu abruptly stated, "My revenge is nigh. Zhuge Liang should arrive shortly to his destination."

Ken and I turned to him curious about what he meant, "still at it again Zhou Yu?" asked Ken.

"I will not rest until Zhuge Liang gets his Ken," he earnestly replied.

Ken chuckles for a moment, "oh I can't wait to see what happens next."

"I gave him the idea Ken, Halloween would be the perfect time for a prank."

We catch a glimpse of Ichabod Crane rolling a cannon out of the hallway. Before any of us went to him, Bron Bones meets up with us.

"Ah, Bron Bones. Welcome to the Party."

Bron's smug face could be shown all over his face greeting us in return, "Sun Ce appreciate the invitation."

"That facial expression suggested you've accomplished your goal. Care to share Bron Bones," inquired Zhou Yu.

Bron turns his head back to Ichabod leaving the ballroom, "I gave him…a new toy to defeating the headless horseman."

I fold my arms suspiciously, "You mean besides the bridge? We don't have that hear ya know? How many other fake superstitious did you plant in that poor man's head?"

"Enough to make the original superstitious tremble."

Ken shakes his head, "Really you're gonna get us into some serious hot water by pulling stunts like this."

Bron was surprised from our disagreement with his prank and gave him the benefit of the doubt since it appeared to not pose an immediate danger. He follows Ichabod as he left the room rolling out one of Ieyasu's cannons that he left in case the Serpent King Orochi attacked us again. The cannon was used as a party flavor and it was empty.

We learned from Zhou Yu that he spiked Zhuge Liang's drink with concentrated laxatives. Once he goes to the restroom, he will have to use the restroom. When Zhuge Liang is ready to take a dump, the Mimic will gobble him up. The mimic is a beast from The Land of the Dead. It pretends to be an objects lying and waiting for an unexpecting traveler. It often favors being a chest so when the poor sap opens the chest, well…it's more graphic than a Venus Flytrap. If he survives which is expected, Zhou Yu will take pictures of him taking a dump and missing the toilet. Zhou Yu leaves us to ensure his plan was executed properly.

Swords clashing could be heard in the hallway less than thirty minutes later. Ken and I left the room to follow the sounds. The sounds grew louder as we went down the hallway. A few moments went by and we spot Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun in a deadlock. When we took a closer look, Guan Yu face was covered with pale white pain and red bumps mistaken for pimples. The anger on his face emitted steam while melting the smeared paint.

"RETURN MY STEED XIAHOU DUN!"

"SCREW YOU GUAN YU! I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR HORSE NOW BACK OFF!"

"As much as I love seeing fighting but could yall just relax," suggested Ken

Both of them turn their heads snarling towards Ken for a moment causing him to raise his hands slowly backing away. My head shakes as this is nothing new between these two.

"Guan Yu, you said your horse is missing. Do you remember when you last saw her?"

Guan Yu did not direct his focus towards Xiahou Dun but responds, "WHEN WE CAME TO THE PARTY TILL AND XIAHOU DUN HAD THE AUDACITY TO STEAL MY RED HARE!"

"YOUR HEAD ON A PLATTER IS ALL I WANT GUAN YU!"

"Xiahou Dun, did you see his horse," I asked with a sigh.

"NO!"

I fold my arms processing this dilemma when out of nowhere the sound of a faint explosion followed by multiple crashes against bricks alerted our attention. A body flies through the room, into the hallway and onto the ballroom. Debris and the loud noise was enough to break Xiahou Dun and Guan Yu's excessive bickering. There was coughing between us as we were recovering from the shock, followed by loud shrieking.

"Damn it. My father is going to kill me for this."
