Hello everyone, I'm back again with some news. I want to say sorry for not updating for so long because projects take up most of my time and writer's block loves to kick me while I'm down. So while I had some spark of creativity left I decided to make this filler as a present for putting up with my lateness as I work on the next chapter. Now here's some news that you all must pay attention to.
Announcements:
For those who have read my other stories or has seen my favorites list you know what kind of stories interest me (no not just Naruto) harems. I am a harem writer that's been established but I didn't really see FFW as being a story to add a harem into, love triangle maybe but not sure about a harem. So I will leave up to you all how that's decided for a particular set of pairings (yes you all know what I'm talking about). So send me your thoughts and vote yes or no to the harem option.
Along with this and the next chapter, I plan on rewriting FFW. It's a chance to fix mistakes and even add new things that were not there before. So everyone has ideas for their characters, if you want to make anymore last minute changes tell me now because if it's not sent to me by PM or you wrote it in the wiki I will not know and I'm using what you send me.
Also I had my fic compared to Sword Art Online that was before I knew about the awesome anime. A question for the rewrite is should I add more game mechanics or keep the story as is. I have no problem keeping the story the same as everyone seems to love the whole alternate reality that it has but at the same time I planned for FFW to be a game so that's another vote I want you to make.
All polls will be posted at the end of the chapter.
Now I will not worry about reviews this time because I kept you waiting long enough, though this may be filler…
ON WITH THE SHOW!

Halloween Hunting
(Tokyo City)
Illu was humming a tune as she walked down the streets of the small city. Mukurowl was perched on her shoulder as they both made their way to the guild building. The girl and owl occasionally looked around to see new decorations and even new stands and shops open for the following holiday.
Halloween was only a day away, and like many holidays it had an effect in the gaming world that is FFW; players running around and scavenging for costumes or materials to use during the event, Admin guards stopping various pranks before they could be set up, and the occasion group of children looking around for great trick-or-treating grounds. The owlgirl and her pet eventually made it to Kurotsubasa only to see a surprising sight.
"Find it yet DB?" A human-sized Optimus Prime asked as he lifted up the couch in the middle of the lounge.
"Nothing Bell, I swear he gets craftier each year?!" DB said as he popped from the kitchen area.
Illu slowly walked over to her fellow female member who was just watching from the sidelines with a familiar neko on her head.
"Ravena, do you know what's going on?" Illu asked as she watched the chaos ensue.
"This was going on since I got here nya." Ravena laughed as she found the scene humorous. "I haven't seen Key or Shads yet nya."
"Punnya" The neko manju meowed as she also watched the search.
"Oh you won't find Shads, least not yet." Ghostfreak said as he phased through the floor and ino the ceiling.
"What does she mean by that?" Illu asked.
Key then walked into the shop and saw the search the two players were causing. "Guys really, I know it's that time of year again but you can't always tear the base apart looking for it." Key said to his teammates.
"That time of year again nya?" Ravena asked as her tails curled into question marks. Illu also looked confused as she looked to the Beta-player.
"Key what's going on, and do you know where Shadow is?" Illu asked.
Key walked into the now ransacked lounge. "It will be easier to answer if I just show you."
First Key grabbed Bella and DB from their search and brought them all to the meeting room. Key found a CD on top of the computer terminal and saw it had a familiar crescent moon symbol.
"He's using a disk this time?" Bella asked as she returned to her human form.
"Let's just hope this will be easier than last year." DB said as he dusted off his coat.
The newer members of Kurotsubasa continued to look in confusion until they saw Key mouth 'just watch this.' Taking the disk, the keyblader inserted it into the terminal and cut off the lights. Soon on their large screen computer was Shadow.
"Hey guys, I'm guessing Key finally stopped Bella and DB from destroying the place trying to find this disk." Shadow spoke from the recording.
The two said members sat in the corner as chibis with depressed looks as the others continued to watch.
"Illu, Ravena, Mukurowl, and Punnya are still new so they don't know about our holiday traditions. So I started much earlier than I usually do to get them all up to speed with the rest of you." The guild leader said.
"Tomorrow is Halloween, which means it's a perfect time to test how far we've come as a guild. The reason why the test is on this holiday will come up soon but now I have a job for the guild, for you guys to complete without my help." Shadow continued.
"Nya, what's the job Shads! We'll get it done in no time nya!" Ravena cheered.
"Punnya!" Punnya cheered with her owner.
Even though it was a recording Shadow appeared to be chuckling a bit at the two neko's cheers. "Now before you get to over confident here is the job codenamed by all of us: Halloween Hunting."
"Hunting, as in we'll be trying to find and capture something?" Illu asked Key.
"More like someone, pay attention to the next part." Key turned their attention back to the screen.
"Tomorrow evening at the Halloween Festival in Tokyo City you will have only one objective." Shadow began. "Find my Location."
"That's all, how hard can that be nya?" Ravena asked her question.
"Very hard, trust me when Shads wants to avoid someone he does a good job of it." Bella said.
"It only sounds easy to you guys now was because he just gave the objective, you know what happens during the Festival right?" DB asked the two girls.
"It's a chance for everyone to dress up as certain characters." Illu explained. "It's one of the few days that cosplayers like to sign on and dress up as their favorite characters."
"And you get to enjoy festival games and snacks, especially some yummy sweets nya!" Ravena added.
"Exactly, everyone will be dressing up even…" DB turned back to the recording.
"During the festival I will dressed as a certain character, your job will be to find me. It is that simple." Shadow said. "We haven't been doing this long as this will be the third annual Halloween Hunt, and maybe having Illu and Rave my boost you guys luck."
Shadow snapped his fingers and let a small clock appear next to him on the screen. Everyone in the base looked and saw the time that read on the icon: 12:00 a.m.
"That's the time limit; the festival starts at 8:00 and will continue onwards until 12:00 when the moon reaches the center of the sky over Tokyo City." Shadow explained more. "Watch the moon for it will be your timer; after midnight if you don't find me…well I'll let that be a surprise."
Shadow snapped his fingers again and let the clock disappear. "The score is 1 to 1, so this year will be a tiebreaker and you have more manpower to search with. You won't see me online until tomorrow night since I'm busing with some work I have to finish, happy hunting." The screen then went blank signaling the recording ended.
"Meow, so we just search through the streets for Shads wearing cosplay?" Ravena asked trying to understand the mission.
"Kitty everyone will be wearing cosplay, it's a requirement to even go to the festival." Bella said. "The festival is held in random towns across the server and Tokyo City happens to be this year's stop."
"So now you can dress like a boy and not get judged nya?" Ravena poked fun at her friend.
"You want to say that again Kit-Kat girl?" Bella said in an almost evil voice as she reached for the omnitrix.
"Girls as much as we really want to see another fight we have to start planning." Key said.
"Key is right; we need a strategy for the mission Shadow gave us." Illu said as she tried to calm the storm.
The two girls were glaring anime lightning at each other until they realized their friends were right. DB was just against the wall drinking from a bottle of alcohol as he waited for the planning to start.
"So what kind of characters would Shadow dress up as?" Illu asked trying to plan for the mission.
"Well to me Shadow is almost like the loner anime type of guy, so he might want to go for something like that!" Bella spoke her idea.
(Bella's Theory)
Bella strolled through the crowded street of costumed players looking for her guild's leader. Soon she walked into up to a player as his back was turned to her. The shapeshifter smirked as she raised her hand and pointed to the boy.
"Got ya, you didn't think you would be able to hide from me did you Shads?!" Bella said.
The player was dressed as a familiar warrior. He had on a body mesh underneath a blue v-neck shirt, a sash around his waist, and blue pants, all underneath an Akatsuki cloak. He turned around and showed he had a large bamboo hat with several white strings streaming down from it obscuring his face.
The shinobi took off his had to show Shadow but with two red eyes with a black three-blade shuriken tomoes inside them.
"Took you long enough…Bella."
(Reality)
"So what do you guys think?!" Bella said as she had a crude, cartoonish picture of Itachi Uchiha hanging on the board. "No doubt Shads will go for a look like this!"
"I think that would be a bit obvious Bell." DB said as he looked at the drawing. "Plus do you know how many players will choose someone like Itachi to cosplay as?"
"Exactly, it will let him hide more in plain sight!" Bella argued back.
"Well that makes sense, but you are missing a few things." DB said.
"And what am I missing?" Bella asked.
"In the end, Shadow is a hero right?" DB let his question linger in the air. "So maybe he might go as a hero from his childhood."
"That does seem like something he might do." Key agreed.
"And I remember when we all talked about our favorite heroes." DB said with a smirk.
(DB's Theory)
DB hopped the rooftops of Tokyo City as it appeared to have a much darker look around it. He reached another building only to stop and see it occupied by someone else. DB rose to his feet and acknowledges the player.
"It took longer than I wanted to, but I finally found you Shadow." DB said.
The player then turned from his spot overlooking the city and started at DB. He was dressed in a full body grey suit, black gloves and black boots. He wore a yellow belt with many pouches for items and a black cape that led to a mask that covered half his face. He glared at Key with a famous scowl and pointed to the symbol on his chest.
"I am Batman."
(Reality)
"No one he would choose something like that!" Bella argued.
"You can't say he wouldn't make a good Batman!" DB argued back. "It wouldn't be that hard to get the cape and cowl, and with everyone mostly going around as anime characters it's easy to pull attention away from comic characters."
"It would give him the benefit of keeping out of sight." Key reasoned with Key.
"You're both wrong nya!" Everyone turned to look at Ravena. "You guys are forgetting the obvious thing, a cosplay he would use that no one would think about!"
"Well what do you think it is Ravena?" Illu asked interested in what she had to say.
"We have Itachi and Batman I doubt it can get anymore crazier than that." Key said.
Ravena smiled at all in the room.
(Ravena's Theory)
The catgirl and her pet walked from one of the alleys as they entered the streets of Tokyo City. They had finished searching all the underground paths and now continued their search topside.
Ravena allowed Punnya to fly about and find their target's scent as they rushed through the crowd. After a while Punnya flew ahead excitedly leaving her master behind.
"Punnya what are you doing; get back here!" Ravena called after the neko.
"Punnya!" Punnya stopped and gestured to a figure that was facing another direction.
Ravena heard what Punnya said and smiled a large catlike grin. The two then slowly snuck towards the player. When they got close enough they they let out a loud noise to grab his attention.
"We found ya good guy, nya!" Ravena yelled.
"Punnya!"
The player grumbled in annoyance as he turned around to the girl and her neko. The boy had white spiky hair, and heterochromatic red and green eyes. He had on a black shirt with three belts, black hakama style pants, and black boots. Over those clothes he had an opened Red jacket with two tails that dangled from the jacket and a large sword that hung on his back.
"God dammit Rave, did you have to yell in my ear?" Shadow asked the girl.
(Reality)
"Ragna…the Bloodedge, I didn't think about that." Illu admitted as she heard Ravena's guess.
"Choosing a character he can relate to, and one he likes as well." Key said as he thought about the idea.
"Come on Shads wouldn't do something that easy, part of his powers is based from him." Bella said.
"Bella's right in a way that would be laziness on Shads part." DB said.
"Though it would be a mistake to not think about the obvious," Key said.
"Well we got Batman, Ragna, and Itachi, what do you think Key?" Bella asked the Beta.
"Hmm, well considering he did a small pattern is the only reason we found him last year, I think he might go about the favorite's alley." Key said. "You guys are on the right track but you are forgetting one thing, how Shadow thinks."
"How Shads thinks nya?" Ravena asked with a confused look.
"Shadow likes to challenge his opponents anyway he can, and this time we are his opponents. He would do something that we probably wouldn't think about even if he had a giant spotlight that says here I am." Key continued his explanation. "And I have an idea of what that is."
(Key's theory)
Key walked through crowds as it began to get thinner and thinner making it easier for him to travel the crowded streets. He kept his senses open for signs of his target until he heard a small commotion coming from the square.
He pushed past crowds to see the commotion was all over a particular dressed character. The Player he was looking at was modeled in grey armor. He was covered head to toe in grey plating and black suit that could be seen under the metal; from his helmet no one could see his face as a visor kept it from view.
"I didn't think you would go for this kind of look Shads, armor doesn't suit you." Key joked as he walked to the armored man.
The man silent walked over to Key slowly with a pistol in his hand aimed at the Beta's head. After a while he put the gun away and reached for his helmet. The latched released and from under the metal revealed his true identity.
"Did you have to search long Key?" Shadow asked.
(Reality)
"I'm sorry Key but that's a bit farfetched even for me." Bella said as she saw Key's choice for who Shadow could be.
"Shadow as a Spartan, it would be an easy way to avoid us entirely." DB said as he thought it over. "Stealth and all that equipment, plus it's easier to pretend to be a noob dressing up an acting the part."
"I still like my idea more nya." Ravena said.
"You don't have to like it, I'm giving my opinion." Key said.
"That leaves only one more then." DB said as he looked to Illu.
"Huh, me?!" Illu asked as she pointed to herself.
"Come on Owlgirl, we all gave a guess, might as well throw yourself into the ring." Bella said.
"Besides it's fun nya!" Ravena said.
Illu blushed a bit, embarrassed by the amount of attention she was getting, before she sighed and complied with them. "I think I agree with Ravena when she said it would be obvious."
"So what's your thought?" Key asked.
Illu took a deep breath and showed who she thought Shadow would be dressed as.
(Illu's Theory)
Flying through the skies, the hybrid girl searched through the starlit sky looking for her target. She figured she was close to completing her mission and then saw a bright flash of light and a small figure land on a roof.
Illu landed on the same roof as she returned to normal with Mukurowl now in her arms. She approached the player who appeared from the shards of glass.
"The mission was hard like I thought it would be, but I still found you." Illu said was a victorious look.
The player was wearing dark clothing as he had on a black shirt, pants, and boots, all with a black coat with grey trim and accents. He had strapped to his back two blades as the wind blew through his black hair.
"And I thought I would be able to hide using a costume a lot of people would be trying out." The black swordsman spoke as he turned around to Illu.
"Good job tracking me down, Illu." Shadow said.
(Reality)
Everyone was silent as they thought about Illu's idea. They all began to think as they all have their own idea of who Shadow was dressing as.
"The Kirito and Asuna costumes would be a popular cosplay to try out this year." Key said.
"Sword Art Online has been gaining a lot of popularity." DB said.
"Well we all have our ideas and we can't seem to agree," Bella started out saying. "What if this year we make it more interesting?"
"And how can we make this interesting flatchest?" Ravena asked.
"I'll let that one slide this once Rave, how about we bet some munny on this?" Bella asked around the room.
"Oh, it's a bet now?" DB asked getting interested.
"A bet and a race," Bella said. "Not only on whose choice is right, but also the one who can find Shads first; anyone interested?"
"A race, shouldn't we be working together?" Illu asked.
"It's not like we can form perfect teams with the numbers we have now; beside a little healthy competition is good once and awhile." DB said.
"How much munny are we talking about Bella?" Ravena asked already counting the amount in her mind.
"How about 500 for the guess and 500 for the capturing," Key offered.
"That seems fair" Bella said as she agreed to those terms. That means one of us will walk away with 5,000 munny."
"Or none at all" DB said reminded the original members of the first annual hunting.
"Well let's all meet up here at 7:30 ready to start." Key said.
"And everyone has to be in full costume nya!" Ravena added.
Illu sighed. "I guess there's no way around it, good luck to everyone."
"This year might be a night to remember." Bella said.
(Tomorrow)
All over Tokyo City, the scenery was changed to that of perpetual night. A large chuckling crescent moon hung in the air as small rivers of blood flowed between its teeth (The Soul Eater Moon, basically).
Outside of the Kurotsubasa building the first few arrivals were waiting for the others to show up. DB waited against the wall with an annoyed look on his face.
"All this waiting, I could have gotten a head start by now." DB said.
Instead of his usual outfit DB was now dressed in a different kind of coat and pants. He wore a black buttoned suit, with a large red tie and a red coat over his clothes along with boots. He had on white gloves as well and a red hat on his head along with a pair of glasses.
"Calm yourself 'Hellsing' you don't want to get ahead of yourself, and they're not even late its only 7:20." Key said.
"Yeah and the festival starts at 8, so we don't have much time 'Riku.'" DB said taking a jibe at Key's costume.
Key had his hair more tame but it still spiked, and he now had on a black, white and yellow sleeveless jacket that was zipped up, a belt, blue pants, and sneakers. To keep the theme of his character Key had his keyblade ,Oathbreaker, out with him.
"Speak of the devils, there they are now." Key said as he pointed over to the three girls running towards them.
"About time, let's get this meet and greet over with." DB said as he stood up straight.
The girls of Kurotsubasa arrived and Key and DB took time to observe their individual outfits.
Illu was wearing a school uniform which had a green long-sleeved top and skirt as well as a black eye patch over her right eye, black belt and boots with a few skull designs around her clothing. Mukurowl flew at a small pace next to the girl.
Ravena was wearing a large tan coat, with large sleeves in the shape of cat paws. The coat covered much of Ravena's body except for her legs, she had on boots and her tails flowed from under the coat. The large hood of the coat that also had cat ears was down on she had a mask that was now not covering her face but was black with small red dots for eyes. Punnya rested on her head.
Bella was dressed in a full body red suit with black in certain places and what looked like armor attached to her shoulders, gloves, and boots. She had two swords strapped to her back and wore a mask but her ponytail came out from the back of the mask letting the boys know it was her.
Key nodded his head impressed as he saw the girls arrive. "Chrome, Taokaka, and Deadpool…interesting choices."
"I always though Bella would pick a goofball like that as her costume." DB said.
Said goofball took off her mask to show a slight angry face. "Bite me D, but we're here aren't we?"
"We're still early; it's not even 7:30 yet." Illu said trying to calm the situation. "So where's the chest Key?"
Key then pulled out a small chest and placed it on the ground. "Right there, let's start with everyone putting in 1,000 munny."
Soon all members put in their wager and Key then sealed it and placed it in a secure room in the base. He then came back outside to talk more with his fellow members.
"Alright, we all know the rules of the hunt right?" Key asked.
"Basically you can't help each other and it is a race to see who can find Shadow." DB basically summed it up.
"But I think we should also add more to it." Key said.
"Add more how?" Illu asked.
"Let's make this a combination of skills and abilities, no powers used." Key said with a smirk.
"What, no powers?!" Bella said.
"What's the matter Bella, afraid of not being able to transform and all that?" Ravena asked.
"Bella does have a lot of things that will let her cheat in this hunt." DB said.
"Bella has some transformations and you all know my powers of perception. This will make us all more even when we start searching." Key explained.
"Fine, but I'm using powers if I need to not to hunt for Shads." Bella said.
"Likewise, if you need to use powers for emergencies then you can." Key added.
"Well I wish everyone the best of luck." Illu said. Mukurowl hooted as he landed on his mistress shoulder.
"Tonight this is going to be the best night ever nya!" Ravena said as she lifted an arm in the air.
"Punnya!" Punnya called from her spot on the catgirl's head.
As they all talk none of them noticed they were being watched by a person from a nearby building. It stared down at them for what felt like an eternity before vanishing in a burst of speed.
(Scene Change)
Many people were gathered around a small platform right in front of the festival grounds. Several Admin guards, all dressed as different era soldiers, were placed around the platform in order to keep the more eager players from rushing into the festival.
Leon soon appeared as he walked with the speaker. He didn't change much from his usual armored outfit but he was convinced to dress up as another character. 'Hakumen' proceeded to stand on the side of the platform as the speaker walked to look at all the players.
The speaker took the stage and began to give the opening speech.
"Welcome everyone, we usually would give a long speech but with how small the event is we can all skip that part." Cast said with a small smile. "The festival is now open, as an Admin I give you permission to enjoy the festival to your heart's content."
The crowd didn't need to be told twice. As soon as the guards moved out the way of the celebrations, the people shoved against each other to be the first to the various stalls around the city.
"Looks like this year will be as crazy as ever." Leon said.
"Oh come on Leon, why don't you the event like everyone else?" Cast asked her knight.
"Just be lucky you convinced me to get into this outfit." Leon said. "Besides you're dressed like you are going to enjoy the festival yourself."
Leon pointed out the fact that Cast was also dressed in cosplay. The Admin just smiled as she enjoyed being in costume.
"If only you would have put on the first costume we would be matching Leon." The Chosen of World Regeneration joked.
Leon just turned his head away glad that he had the helmet so she couldn't see his blush. "This costume was better than all those I've seen; also I wouldn't have enjoyed dressing up as Lloyd."
'Collete' laughed at his response before grabbing the warrior's hand. "Come on 'Hakumen' we need to oversee the festival and what better way than to actually participate."
Leon just grumbled, once again glad the helmet hid his blush, as his superior dragged him into the festival.
(DB's Halloween Date)
Soon as the festival started DB immediately took to the roofs of the buildings. He was confident in his guess of what character Shadow was as he looked down from roofs into dark alleys.
"Man, you would think I have seen a clue by now." DB said after five minutes of searching the roofs. He dropped down to ground level thinking that he hadn't left the street yet.
"The festival has just started and the moon hasn't even moved yet." DB looked an saw the grinning moon has not moved an inch. He then began to walk into he bumped into a figure.
"Hey what's the big ide…?" DB stopped talking as the words left his mouth.
"Huh, DB never thought I would see you so soon after this even started." Naenia said as she saw she bumped into a familiar face.
DB was frozen because of the cosplay he saw her wearing. She was wearing a Chinese style outfit similar to her normal outfit but it was white, with red leave designs and a large black obi. The kimono had blue sleeves and she had a pink rose on the left side of her hair (Ran Mao from Black Butler).
"Ah hey!" DB finally said regaining his senses. "So what are you doing around here, usually your busy with a job." He asked out of curiosity.
"I take holiday events off, plus you have to be an idiot to miss events like these." Naenia answered. "Speaking of events, I have one that might be up your alley."
"Depends on what it is?" DB asked though he had a small blush thinking how Naenia thought he was perfect for something.
"I'm sure you know holidays like this have several things you can't get every day." Naenia then pulled a poster from hammerspace and placed it into the vampire's hands. "Ever heard of Hollow's Cider?"
DB stood frozen as he read the poster over. "Hollow's Cider, that's an extremely rare drink only sold out during the Halloween event, how could I forget about that!"
"I was thinking of going down to the bars and giving it a try since I never have; care to join me, I'm sure things like this are better with company?" Naenia asked him.
Suddenly all thoughts off the bet disappeared as the poster lit up in flames and DB gave her a wide smile. "Sure let's go, I've been meaning to give that drink a try myself." He said as he kept the famous Alucard smile.
After taking some time walking, chatting, and trying out the various stands, the two found themselves at the one Halloween themed bar of the night: Hueco Mundo.
"To think the legendary drink is in there." DB said as he looked at the masked covered doors of the bars.
"We'll never know unless we give the drink a try ourselves," Naenia smiled to her companion.
"Ladies first," DB said as he held the door open. Naenia let out a small chuckle as she walked inside the building; DB then followed after her.
Hueco Mundo was like any other bar in FFW. The only differences were it was filled with mostly villain themed cosplayers various bones, skulls, and masks scattered across the room. The two players walked to the bartender noticed he had on a visored mask.
"What can I get you two, or are you here for the house special?" 'Shinji' asked the two.
"This is the place where we can find Hollow's Cider is it not?" Naenia asked in a business type tone.
Though they couldn't see past the mask the could sense him smirking at them from his tone of voice. "Nice, it's nice when customers come here and ask what they want instead of trying all the usual crap. Would you like your free bottles now or later?"
"Free bottles, something rare as this can't be for free." DB said to the barkeep.
"Your first bottle is free," The bartender clarified. "It's roughly 100,000 munny to buy more of it."
"We'll just take our bottles now and sit down if that's alright?" Naenia asked the bartender.
DB sensed some eyes on them as he noticed some heads turned to him and Naenia when the words Hollow's Cider was spoken. Naenia, herself, could see a bit of a mischievous glint in the bartender's eyes before he left and came back with two large bottles.
"Here's your Hollow's Cider…enjoy." The Visored left the bottles on the table in front of them.
The two grabbed their bottles but when they turned around DB once again found himself crashing into another person. The one dressed as 'Ganondorf' looked to the one that bumped into him.
"You think you can collect a rare bottle and not have to worry about a fight for it?" Ganondorf asked.
DB glared as he saw the three thugs around them. Naenia was glaring when he saw some of their eyes linger on her for too long.
"You obviously don't know who we are because of the cosplay so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt." Naenia began. "Just sit down and let us through, or we're going to have to hurt you." Naenia had already drawn her fan.
"Oh yeah and what if we don't, gonna sick your boyfriend on us?" One of them joked which caused them all to laugh until the sound of guns cocking filled the air.
"This is the ONE night I don't feel like getting into a bar fight." DB said as his eyes began to glow red. His guns were aimed at two of the three thugs; he also saw the air swirling around Naenia's fan. "Now we can either do this the easy way, or the DB way…chooses wisely."
Even with guns held to then they didn't seem to back down. "Screw you, once a year you get good stuff like this and you don't think we won't take advantage of this!"
"So hand over your bottles, I don't think you know who you two are messing with!"
DB only continued his glare until it turned into a demonic smile. "DB way it is then…your funeral!"
From a distance away a large explosion of fire could be seen, startling all as the flames lit up the night sky. Several Admin Guards moved to the scene of the fire already cursing that an inciden already happen within the first hour.
The bartender only looked in shock as he saw that all that remained of the bar's front were cinders and bodies of various customers. He moved to leave only to scream seeing he wasn't the only on conscious.
"It seems a huge battle took place here, care to talk about it?" A black mass asked him.
"Look all I saw was a normal bar riot, but this time the Frost Empress and even that guy from Kurotsubasa had to get involved in this!" The bartender yelled.
"Kurotsubasa huh, sounds like a funny name." The bartender looked in astonishment hearing the costumed player's comment.
"I don't know if now is the right time but do you still have any of those Hollow's Ciders left?"
(Scene Change)
On a roof in the distance DB sighed as he looked down on the half charred building that was once the Hueco Mundo.
"Sorry about that, I forgot what happened when you mixed fire with wind." DB apologized.
"Don't worry about it." Naenia brushed off some ashes off her costume. "Besides I did have some fun tonight," She said with a smile.
DB blushed a bit but he smiled at her as well. He noticed a light over them and his mood suddenly took a downed one as he saw how much time he wasted. DB sighed but turned back to Naenia with a grin.
"It was fun, we should hang again sometime…without the bar violence and explosions." He said jokingly.
Naenia let out a small laugh. "Yes, maybe we should."
Before DB could even think of leaving Naenia pulled out two shot glasses and turned to him with a challenging look; the vampire smiled and sat down to drink with her (soon forgetting the reason why he was downed before).
In the air a figure was flying looking at a bottle in his hand. "All of that over this little bottle." He placed the bottle inside his robe and was about to leave until he noticed DB and Naenia.
"Well that's one out of five; I wonder how everyone else's search is going?"
(Bella's Halloween Pranktacular)
The Hyna Squad Leader was walking through the streets looking at the various costumes of the passerbyers. Bella silently ate candy as she continued looking with a bored expression.
"This is so boring; it sucks that I can't use my powers to search." Bella complained.
"Boring on Halloween, well we can't have that can we Bella!" A voice spoke in the Toon girl's head.
Bella watched her omnitrix activate on its owned as it summoned one of the various toons in her head. "Jack what are you doing, if the others see you they will freak!"
Skeleton Jack looked to Bella with an amused grin. "You're concentrating so hard on the bet that you forgot that Halloween is supposed to be about fun!"
Bella took a thinking pose as she thought about what the man was saying. "I'm not usually one to cheat on a challenge, but it is a crime that I'm bored and not having fun."
The shapeshifter then turned to the Pumpkin King with a mischievous look. "So what do you have in mind?"
"Well instead of you finding your friend, let him come to you!" Jack announced.
"Now you're talking my language, I can worry about the others complaining about my powers when the night is over." Bella now grinned at her toon friend.
"I have something that I have been saving for a special moment, why not now on Halloween?"
(Time Skip)
Many people looked confused as they saw a large circus tent set up in one of the festival areas. One of the braver ones walked up and grabbed a note that was above the entrance. He turned to the rest of the crowd to read off the note.
"Ladies and Gents, this adventure comes once in a life time, so come on in if you are brave enough?" The player read off the note for all to hear.
Some of the crowd turned and walked away not wanting to travel into the mysterious tent while the rest stayed curious of what kind of event the Admin could have created. The group thinned to about thirty people that walked into the tent, what they didn't see was a snake that was watching them before if popped out of existence.
The group stayed close together trying not to lose one in the darkness of the tent, as they walked they noticed the path was longer than the tent itself.
"What's going on?!"
"Are we in another dimension?"
"I guess we can only turn back." One of them guessed.
Some got instantly scared and ran out of the tent back to the entrance. The rest continued onward. Their visions began to clear as the space around them lit up and they heard the beginning of music. With little visibility they saw a scarecrow holding a sign.
Before any of them could read it the music grew louder and they ran down the path. Soon they heard several voices as they ran through tombstones. A girl shrieked as she saw a shadow appear on one of the graves.
[Hyna Squad Ghosts]
Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween
The group began to run out the graveyard as the song reached a crescendo. Ghosts began to fly from the ground and add to the chorus of horror.
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween
They soon saw a large building and ran inside glad that the ghosts did not follow them inside. Two of them noticed they appeared to be in a bedroom somehow; they walked to observe the bed and felt hands grab their legs. Everyone heard their screams and saw them vanish from the bed.
[Gluttony (Fullmetal Alchemist]
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
Seeing the maws of the monster that must of captured the two that screamed they ran out the room and down some stairs only to watch as more were picked off.
[Orochimaru (Naruto)]
I am the one hiding under yours stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
The remains of the players made it out of the house and noticed they were now in an abandoned city. They thought they were safe until the song continued, up in a perch was (though the kids didn't know) Omi-Wormtail.
[Bella (as Omi-Wormtail)]
In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
The players ran from the sight, a few of them fell down several falls only to meet a giant white snake. The survivors raced to escape the hallow nightmare.
[Voices]
Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting now to pounce, and how you'll...
The group found shelter in an alleyway. After watching a few more creatures running passed them; they sighed in relief thinking they were safe until another monster popped from a nearby trashcan.
[Zombie Bella]
Scream! This is Halloween
[Soundwave (Transformers)]
Red 'n' black, slimy green
[Blight (Batman)]
Aren't you scared?
Well, that's just fine
A few more captured players later and the group screamed not caring about the attention they were causing. More members of the Hyna Squad appeared, attracted to the players screams.

As the voices sang they looked to the sky and saw a shadow upon the moon.
[OOGIE BOOGIE]
I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
The group's numbers continued to drop as the Hyna Squad paraded after them.
[Hyna Squad]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!
As the group tried to escape, some were pulled away and given a private concert before they were taken away.

In this town
Don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
The once large group was now down to five people as they found themselves at the square of the hallowed town. They all searched for an escape, even trying desperately to log out as they heard the crowd approach.
[Hyna Squad]
Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
More of the Hyna Squad appeared though some helped carry the scarecrow they saw when they arrived.
This is Halloween, everyone scream
Wont' ya please make way for a very special guy
In a flash Jack appeared (in place of the scarecrow) and began his horrifying performance. Bella used her powers and supplied more support to the Pumpkin King.
Our man jack is King of the Pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King now!
As the remaining five back away from the attraction they noticed that all the creatures they seen and even more began to exit from houses and filled the streets.
[Hyna Squad]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
A boy stopped running after reaching a point and looked around to see who had survived. He saw nothing as everyone else was captured by the many traps and creatures that chased them. He caught his breath though he saw his was in the
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
La la la la-la la [Repeat]
"Well I'm surprised you lasted this long." Jack said impressed as he looked at the last player of the group.
"I think we should reward you."
The boy fell to the ground as he saw all the creatures began to close in on him. He felt the cornrs of his vision turn black as he knew he was going to pass out soon. Before he lost consciousness he saw Jack move closer to him.
"Trick…or…Treat?"
(Scene Change)
Screams were heard as everyone saw several players run out of the tent filling the air with terror. As soon as everyone turned to the tent to see what had happened they noticed it disappeared.
In the distance Bella was laughing against the wall as she took off her mask to get air as she almost died of laughter.
"That was fun, it's a shame Halloween is once a year." She said between her laughs.
"Then we better make use of this night then." Jack said from inside the girl's head. Bella nodded her head as she gained some composure.
"Yes we should."
All across Tokyo City, screams could be heard as the Hyna General continued her Halloween havoc. A figure shook his head and continued on its way.
"Bella will never change."
(Ravena and Illu's Girls Night Out)
Illu was about to begin her search when a hand grabbed her and pulled her into one of the alleys. The poison specialist was about to summon her glaive only you be surprised to see the grinning face of Ravena.
"Hey Illu, why don't we work together and find Shadow nya?" Ravena asked her.
"Punnya?" Punnya seemed to ask Mukurowl the same question.
"Ravena I thought we were supposed to find Shadow ourselves?" Illu asked in confusion. Mukurowl seemed to hoot his concerns from the owlgirl's head.
"It's always much easier to search as a group, plus everyone will separate at different parts of the festival so no one will see." Ravena reasoned. "Besides I'll be sure to split the profits even with you nya."
"Punnya, punnya, nya!" The neko tried to reason with her fellow pet.
"I don't know Rave, this feels like cheating." Illu said with a frown.
"Technically Bella can cheat when she can summon back up nya, besides we can always separate and meet up later." Ravena took Illu's hand and pulled her towards the festival before she heard another refusal.
"Ravena!" Illu tried to stop her but sighed seeing as she wasn't going to get out of this. She felt Mukurowl was missing only to see him wrapped in Punnya's tail as she flew beside them.
'Muku-Chan too!' Anime tears fell down Illu's face as the four began their search.
After getting Ravena to let go of her (agreeing that she wouldn't run off beforehand), the two girls looked around the crowds trying to find their leader; they soon heard music playing from a distance.
"Rave can you hear that?" Illu asked.
"Nya, sounds like a party to me; that would be a great place for Shads to hide!" Ravena said.
The two pets landed by their masters as they wondered what they were talking about.
"What makes you think Shadow would be at a party?" Illu asked.
"Expect the unexpected my dear Illu-Tan." Ravena said in a sagelike voice makin the owlgirl sweatdrop. "Shadow isn't the type to go out and have a good time nya, so it will the great place to hide out!"
"I guess that makes sense." Illu said but had her own doubts about it.
"Ok then, it settles we search there!"
The group followed the sounds of music and saw it was indeed coming from a party. A club that was opened for the festival called the Crypt Club was full of many players enjoying the night. Before they entered they saw that no pets were inside the club.
"I guess we will have to improvise." Ravena said.
Illu nodded and held out her finger for Mukurowl to land on. "Muku-Chan I need you to stay on my shoulder and stay still, can you do that please?"
Mukurowl hooted his reply and perched on Illu's shoulder. For added measures he created an illusion around himself that made him appear as a small plush toy. When he was ready Illu turned to Ravena.
"Ok Rave, we're ready to…" Illu was shocked seeing how Ravena planned on hiding Punnya.
Somehow Punnya was in a humanoid form, which was taller than Ravena, stretchin her limbs as she wasn't used to that form. Soon Ravena grabbed both Illu and Punnya and they both walked inside.
The two looked around seeing many people either dancing or chatting around in groups. As they walked they soon found someone but it wasn't who they were looking for.
"Just my luck that I would see you two here," A voice said to the females of Kurotsubasa.
The girls turned and saw it was Rose that was talking to them. The bounty hunter walked up to them walking through the crowd of partiers. Rose was wearing a long-sleeved red shirt, a black skirt and long black socks that led into brown formal shoes. Two black ribbons turned her long red hair into two pigtails on the sides of her head.
"It's Maid Fetish nya!" Ravena called out.
"Stop calling me that!" Rose yelled. She then calmed down but she still had a tick mark at the side of her head. "So what brings the little girl and the boobcat in here?"
"Well Tater-tots, we happen to be on a mission nya." Ravena said as the two got into a glaring competition.
Illu sighed and decided to end their staring game. "Rose has seen Shadow anywhere; we just happen to be looking for him."
Rose's attention perked up at the name of her teacher. "Shadow can't say I have; I'm waiting in this club for a very important item."
"Can't even enjoy yourself on Halloween; I bet even Naenia is taking a break nya." Ravena said.
"I wouldn't expect you to know much about this," Rose chuckled a bit. "Holidays lead to items that only come out during these festivals, I just happen to be enjoying the fun and getting work done at the same time."
"Enjoying fun by waiting for an item in a club, you should be dancing like everyone else!" Ravena yelled as she pointed to the dance floor.
"Yeah nya!" Punnya called as well mimicking her owner.
"I'm surprised your pet hasn't been caught." Rose said as she noticed Punnya. "Still why have fun here when there is an even bigger party going on." The bounty hunter finished with a smirk.
"Bigger than this, I find it hard to believe with the amount of people here." Illu said as she looked around.
"This? Everyone here is noobs or low levels at least; there as an even bigger event going on that all the high level players know about." Rose explained.
"Then what are waiting around for lead the way nya!" Ravena and Punnya cheered at the thought of a bigger party.
"And what makes you think I'm taking you anywhere?" Rose asked.
Illu sighed. "Ravena we still need to look for Shadow, remember the bet?"
Ravena sighed when she was reminded of the bet. "Nya, you're right Illu we do need to find Shads. There is too much money wagered to goof off."
"Money, oh so you two are doing that" Rose said with a knowing look.
"How do you know what we're doing?" Illu asked.
"It was always things like this that bastard would do to spice up training." Rose said. "Speaking of bastards where is…"
A large white hand slammed into the girls head which left Ravena, Punnya, and Illu in shock seeing what happened. Rose stood back up with a large anime bump on her head.
"You ass, and what took you so long?!" Rose yelled angrily at the new arrival.
"A lot of things have been happening tonight; just because I was a little late you don't get to talk about me behind my back without expecting a Shinigami Chop!" A comical voice answered.
The speaker was a tall player wrapped inside of a black cloak which seemed to be made of jagged black spikes. In the front where the man's face would be was a white comical skull like mask.
Rose scoffed at the new arrival. "Please, be on time for once. Also extended to our deal I need a small favor."
"You already wasted one for this item Rosie-Chan!" The reaper pulled out a wrapped up package. "Anything else and you will end up owing me!"
"Whatever" Rose took the package, obviously mad at the name she was called. "We need to get to that quickly can you do it or not?!"
"We?" The Shinigami then looked and saw Illu, Ravena, and Punnya.
"So this guy can take us to the club nya?" Ravena asked as she and Punnya looked at the figure suspiciously.
"Um, are you sure we can trust him?" Illu asked.
"Wassup!" The reaper greeted them while tilting to the side.
"Don't get your panties in a knot, I don't know who he is under the mask but he is pretty trustworthy." Rose said trying to calm their doubts.
'He feels familiar, like I met him before.' Illu thought as she looked at Shinigami.
'Somehow I think I can trust her word. I feel I should know who he is though nya.' Ravena thought.
Punnya walked towards the reaper as if to get a closer look. The man used his giant hand to pet the neko and she soon returned to her original form purring with content. Soon he turned to Rose.
"So that's five to your destination huh, I think I can manage that." Shinigami said with a large thumb up.
"Perfect" Rose said as she moved to put her package away.
"You're not going to eat it now?" The reaper said in confusion.
"Eat, you have treats nya?" Ravena asked.
"What…I don't have that sort of…" Rose tried to speak.
"Some very special chocolates made only tonight." Shinigami answered.
"Don't tell them idiot!" Rose yelled.
"You have to share nya!"
"As if!"
The two began to fight over the box of sweets, as thy fought Illu decided to test her intuition.
"Um Shinigami" Illu said.
"Hmm?" The death god turned to Illu.
"What exactly makes those chocolates special?" Illu asked as she saw Ravena managed to grab the package and was about to open it until Rose once again snatched them away.
"I don't really know; Rose said that some guy was making chocolates and I was supposed to find him. Apparently Rose knows him and said his sweets were legendary." Shinigami began to explain.
"Legendary Sweets" Illu then had a small flashback as thoughts run through her head.
"Yep, for some reason when I mentioned Rose he gave them to me for free and then said: "Give my student my regards.'" Shinigami finished his explanation.
'Then it was Shadow!' Illu instantly thought and turned to Shinigami. "Do you know where this guy is now?!"
Before he could answer they both heard a crash and saw Rose and Ravena clutching the opened bag of chocolates. They were glaring at each other until the smell of the sweets hit them.
"Nya, I know that smell anywhere, Shadow's sweets meow." Ravena said with a dreamy eyed look.
"Then you know why I don't want to share, since we don't exactly travel together anymore I have to search around the whole festival to find him and get some of these sweets." Rose explained.
"But keeping the chocolate for yourself, no fair." Ravena said.
Rose smirked and then managed to take the whole bag. "Too bag, I guess you will have to watch as I…" She noticed the package was lighter and saw half of the dozen of chocolates was gone. Hearing eating behind her she saw Ravena and Punnya with some chocolate in the formers hands.
Ravena then saw Rose noticed the sweets she was holding and smirked with a cat grin as she ate another piece. "Snooze you lose Maid Fetish!"
"I am going to kill you." Rose said in a low voice as she pulled out her daggers.
"Girls, we're supposed to be going to a party remember." Illu tried to remind them to avoid a fight. Mukurowl was shaking his head as he saw them argue and then flew off to enjoy the chocolate with Punnya.
Rose sighed and returned her weapons. "Fine, be glad that I'm in a merciful mood." She popped a piece of chocolate in her mouth and resisted the urge to moan at the sweet taste.
Illu then saw Ravena give her two pieces, she tried one and just like the other two she soon forgot about the world around her as she enjoyed the sweet flavored. Suddenly all three remembered they were keeping their company waiting until they say another bag of chocolate with a note.
You three looked like you were enjoying yourself so I decided to leave. Bye!
-Shinigami
"Our ride ditched us nya." Ravena said.
"Don't worry about it; I'll just take us there. It will be slow but we got all night." Rose said.
The two of Kurotsubasa nodded as Illu walked and picked up the bag of sweets. "So how do we share these?"
The girls spent the rest of the night bonding over chocolate.
(Key's Troubled Night)
The Beta of Kurotsubasa sought out the less populated areas of the festival; the parts of celebration that held the more rare and hard to find items that only existed during the Halloween event.
Key knew that all the plans everyone made up were good, but they forgot some things about Shadow that were easy to overlook. One of those reasons led Key to seek out the rare items booths.
'In the end Shadow is a treasure hunter; he has to hide from us but he can't resist checking out these items.' Key continued looking, not knowing he is about to land in one of the worse situations of his life.
"Key?"
Hearing his name, the keyblader turned around and fought down a blush as he saw who called him.
It was TPB, or Turquoise Peanut Butter, the girl he made friends with after the events of the Eclipse Tournament. She was dressed as Lucy from Fairy Tail; wearing a white shirt with a blue cross trim and blue skirt with a belt that held all her keys and black wristbands and boots.
Getting over his shock Key then acknowledged her. "TPB, is that you?"
The celestial mage smiled and walked over to Key. "I thought that was you, though I could have guessed from your costume."
"You're one to talk, if you were blonde and styled your hair you would look exactly like Lucy." Key said.
TPB blushed and ran a hand though her mid-length brown hair. "I didn't want to go through the trouble of buying a hair potion to grow my hair back and change the color. I was glad I was able to get this outfit."
Key nodded knowing how hard it was to get the outfit you wanted when Halloween was around. He literally fought away a few players to get the costume he was wearing.
After letting her blush dies a bit TPB then asked her question. "Key are you doing anything right now, there's something that I need help with?"
"Ugh, well I'm in the middle of…"
"Well isn't this a surprise just the kind of person I was looking for!"
Key and TPB turned to where the voice emanated only for Key to be shocked to see it was Rina. Walking around with her pet Houndoom Flamer, the Admin greeted one of the Betas under her.
The girl was dressed as a school girl wearing a white uniform jacket, white top and black ribbon with a red checkered skirt, white knee-high socks and brown loafers. She also had a pale blue barrette on the back of her hair.
"Ugh, Rina what are you talking about?" Key wondered what his superior would want from him.
Rina chose to ignore his question and grab his left hand. "I'll talk on the way, my usual escort couldn't get online and I was about to message for a nearby Admin Guard but a Beta will do as well."
Key felt himself be dragged but before Rina could pull him completely another hand grabbed his right hand.
"I'm sorry, but Key already agreed to help me with something." TPB said in a polite voice; however, if you listened closer you can hear some of it was forced.
"Well I need him to help me with a small assignment, I'm sure you can ask someone else." Rina said as she tugged the chibi Key in her direction.
"But I was going to as Key my request; he didn't give me his answer yet." TPB pulled chibi Key in her direction.
"Look I'm sure a nice Admin Guard can help with whatever you need."
"You said you were about to summon an Admin Guard to help with your assignment."
"Why would I need to call one now when a Beta is right here?"
"But I called him first so he has to help me."
All throughout the argument they were playing tug-a-war with a small chibi Key who was stretched in both directions. Anime tears fell from his eyes as he tried to think of a way out of the situation.
'How do I get out of this mess?' He thought to himself.
"Hey listen, I…" The Beta tried to say.
"Well I guess there is only one way to decide this." Rina said suddenly.
"Yes I agree." TPB said also.
The two dropped the chibi Key, who landed hard on the ground and glared at each other.
"I usually wouldn't think of violence to solve a problem," Rina stopped a bit to chuckle at her own joke. "But it seems like you won't back down."
"Whatever you have to do shouldn't be much of a problem for an Admin; you should be able to do it yourself." TPB said. "Though it seems you don't want to try and find out for yourself."
A tick mark appeared on the back of Rina's head but it went about unnoticed. "Well then, let's put an end to this conflict now."
"I agree wholeheartedly," TPB said.
A crowd seemed to have gathered around, as most of the male players wanted to see if a cat fight would occur. Tension filled the air as the two glared at each other. They both looked like they were about to grab their weapons until they both yelled out:
"Key, who do you want to help out?!"
They both waited not hearing an answer. The two turned to look at the Beta only to see what appeared to be a dust cloud fading in the breeze. In the distance Key was panting as he had ran away from the two when they were too focused on the other.
"A little girl trouble?" A voice asked out of curiosity.
"You could say that," Key looked at his speaker and then froze for a bit. "Hey you wouldn't happen to be…"
"Key!"
"Key!"
The keyblade wielder jumped an instead of finishing his question he continued to run in pursuit of shelter. The figure moved out of the street avoiding two yelling girls.
"Key get back here!"
"You have to make a decision!"
The figure just looked with confusion before tilting his head. He then turned around and walked away.
"I wonder what that was about, oh well; I wonder what kind of items are on this side of the festival."
(Scene Change)
Time had passed and a bell rang signaling the end of the festival. All around Tokyo City, booths were closing or disappeared altogether. The festivities began to die down as the moon chuckling in the center of the sky began to fade back to a familiar silver sphere.
In front of Kurotsubasa the team returned but with various different expressions. They all looked at each other with nervous chuckles.
Ravena and Illu, along with their pets, had nervous looks because they had small patches of chocolate all over them. Key had a tired expression as it looked like his outfit was beaten up and he had claw marks on various parts of his body. DB had a grin showing that he enjoyed the night and finally Bella had the looked that showed she pranked masses of people.
"So who wins the pot?" DB asked, though they all know the answer.
Each one of them had forgotten the reason for the mass searched as they ended up not finding a hair of their leader.
"That would be me."
They all turned to see a figure they all seen during the night.
"Shinigami?" Illu asked in confusion.
The death used a (now human) hand to turn his mask to the side. Everyone was shocked to see Shadow behind the mask.
"You know seeing all that happened I'm a little disappointed." Shadow said.
They began to yell out excuses only for Shadow to dismiss them.
"Like I said I saw partly of what happened and I'm willing to let this year slide." Shadow said with a smirk. "You all look like you enjoyed the festival, well except for Key."
"Don't remind me," Key said as he got teary-eyed.
"So we just get our Munny back and…"
"Last I checked none of you found me, meaning you all lost the bet." Shadow said.
"You knew about the bet too?" DB asked.
"You would be surprised at all I saw this night, I'm sure Grim's lying down somewhere after his shadow got in trouble with a crowd of school girls." Shadow then took all the munny they put in for the bet.
"I'm sure this is enough to pay for all the damages Bella caused last night." Shadow said.
"It was so worth it." Bella said with a smile.
"You should have invited me nya, magic and horrors go well together!" Ravena complained.
"Regardless, the event over and it's getting late." Shadow said. "Let's call it a night."
They all logged out knowing that at least they all had the memories of the best Halloween ever.
Well that is the end, I would add more but I think I crossed the amount of length filler has to be. This is my little gift to everyone that stayed with the idea for this long; it never would have got this popular without all of you. So continue to review and I will continue to get the spark back to finish up the first arc.
Now here, like I promise, are the various polls:
Harems: Yes or No? If yes then what pairings? (P.S. I'll post up an official pairing list later for everyone that doesn't know the pairings or has forgotten. The list may appear in the Deviantart page first.)
FFW: Should I make it appear more like a game (Add game mechanics more) or keep it as it is?
Don't forget to look over your characters and send me any changes or add ons you want when I start the rewrite. Also I think I might add honorifics in the rewrite, I haven't decided but send your thoughts.
Later everyone and here's a list of all the players and costumes just for those who didn't know or couldn't guess.
