Chapter 19: The Masked Phantom Stikes Again

When Alice and Magenta returned at evening, they both got tickets to go to the singer Mimiki's concert.

"I rather hit my head with a dictionary several times then go to his concert." Wally said then Magenta picked up a dictionary and looked at the back of his head but Alice grabbed the heavy book and shook her head at the ruby eye girl.

"Well I don't really wanna go." Magenta said then Robin looked at her then at Alice, who was looking at the two tickets.

"If you want, I'll go with you, Alice." Robin said then Alice turned to the Boy Wonder.
"Really?"

"Yeah. That way if you and Magenta are seperated, we'd keep an eye on you. I'll go with you and Magenta can stay here with the team." Robin explained then Alice looked at Magenta. Magenta nodded then Alice looked at Robin and smiled.
"Okay. Then let's go."

At the concert, Robin and Alice were sitting not to far from the stage. The crowd cheered when the bright lights flashed on Mimiki. He walked towards the mic stand then took the mic. He started to sing a few lines when the power went out and someone laughing evilly.

"What's going on...?" Alice questioned, frighten then Robin grabbed her arm. As the two made their way out of the panic crowd, the lstage lights came on and Mimiki was laying on the stage floor, dead. Everyone screamed then started to panic even more.

"Robin!" Alice cried then Robin looked on the stage to see the Masked Phantom by the singer's body. He turned and spotted Robin and Alice.

"You're next!" He shouted then he jumped into the crowd. Robin grabbed Alice's hand and they both ran to the back stage exit. As they both got outside, Robin pushed Alice telling her to run. Alice looked at Robin then she ran.

"Okay, Phantom... It's payback for beating the living hell outta me...!" Robin said then the Phantom grinned. He quivered then a body crawled out of his mouth. Robin quickly closed his eyes but it was too late, the creature that crawled out of the Masked Phantom's mouth attacked Robin but it was suddenly cut.

"What?"

He suddenly heard an eerie scream and when Robin turned, he saw Alice; but she looked different. Her color was gone, her eyes blacked, and blood was everywhere on her as she held a katana sword.

"Alice...?"

"Finally! I've been waiting to have you!" Robin heard the Phantom yell then he charged straight towards the girl, but she grinned wickedly then slashed her sword down the Phantom's chest. He jumped back and held the wound that the girl made. It was deep and the blood was gushing.

"I can't continue if this is what's going to happen..." He said then he ran but Alice chased after him but Robin grabbed her arm. He turned the girl around but Alice struggled to try and catch the Phantom.

"Alice stop! What's gotten into you?" Robin yelled but Alice was still struggling. Suddenly, Robin snapped and slapped Alice across the face.
"SNAP OUT OF IT!" He shouted then Alice's color and everything returned to normal. She touched her cheek then tears were in her eyes.

"Why did you hit me...?" She sniffled then started crying.

"Well... You were acting strange! You're color was gone, you were covered in blood, and you had a sword!" Robin said then Alice gasped.
No one isn't suppose to see me in that form... No one... Except... Those who are contracted by the rabbits... Could it be that he...?

"Are you sure it wasn't you imagination...?"

"I wish it was- - But I saw it with my own eyes! You like some scary horror girl!" Robin said then Alice didn't say anything. It was quiet then Robin sighed.
"I'm sorry I slapped you..."

"All is forgiven, Robin... All is forgiven..."
I've found him...
