Chapter 31: Scaredymon:

This chapter takes place during the Digimon Emperor Arc

It was Halloween and Patamon was about to leave the Computer Lab when he got stopped by Davis.

"Hey Patamon," he said, "I want to tell you a story."

"Is it scary?"

"Oh yeah. It's about Sakuya Yamamoto. Every Halloween, she would come from her well..."

"Does her well look like TK's hat?"

"And she would come for your souls."

"Do souls look like your goggles?"

"As a matter of fact, they do. And she puts them where you can never find them... in her soul bag." Davis puts his goggles in Yolei's bag.

Patamon shakes and Veemon appears behind him in a wig. "I've come for your goggles."

Patamon jumps up screaming.

"Man, Scaredymon sure is easy to scare," says Davis.

Patamon realizes Sakuya was Veemon.

"I hope you're not too scared to come to the Halloween Party," says Davis.

Davis walks away. Veemon walks behind Patamon. "Steal your soul!"

Patamon screams.

...

TK and Patamon are walking. "Don't let them get to you," says TK.

A kid shows up. "Twick-ow-tweat!"

Patamon screams and runs away.

...

"Why am I so scared," asks Patamon.

"It's okay to be scared," says TK.

"Well, I'm sick of it. No more Scaredymon." Patamon notices the pumpkin they were doing and screams.

There's a knock on the door. "Howdy Patamon," says Armadillomon.

"Watch, I'm gonna scare Armadillomon." Patamon opens the door and tries to scare him, but Armadillomon's Groucho glasses scare him.

"Sorry, Ah didn't mean to scare ya."

"Why can't I be frightening for once? Where's my chance?"

"Well, if y'all wanna be scary, then y'all are gonna need a good costume."

...

Patamon comes out of the closet wearing a sheet.

"What do you think," asks Patamon.

"Great! Y'all are going as mah trick-or-treating bag."

"No, Armadillomon, I'm the ghost of Sakuya Yamamoto."

"I don't think that's going to work," says TK.

"Somethin's missin'." Armadillomon then hands Patamon a video tape like Sakuya's cursed tape. "Terrifyin'."

The doorbell rings. It's three kids. Patamon tries to scare them, but they just laugh.

"Here's your candy," says an annoyed Patamon.

The kids leave.

"Hey, check out mah ghost puppet," says Armadillomon.

"That's it," says Patamon.

"What's it," asks Armadillomon.

"What's the difference between that ghost and me?"

Armadillomon concentrates. "No, no, no wait. Don't tell me." Concentrates harder. "D-don't tell me. Don't tell me! Don't tell me! I can do this. Don't tell me! Don't tell me! Okay, tell me."

"I have wings and a ghost doesn't. All we have to do is remove my wings and Boo! I'm scary."

...

Patamon is now sitting in a chair in the bathroom. Armadillomon has goggles on.

"Okay, ya ready," asks Armadillomon.

Patamon holds up the ghost puppet. "Remember, like this."

"Are you sure about this," asks TK.

"Just gotta remove the wings," says Patamon.

Armadillomon proceeds.

...

Patamon looks closer to the ghost puppet.

"Perfect. Let's scare people." Armadillomon puts on his Groucho glasses.

...

Patamon and Armadillomon run through the streets of the city.

"OOOhhh... I'm Sakuya Yamamoto!"

"OOOhhh... Ah don't know who I am!"

A guy opens his door.

Patamon jumps in front of him. "Rawr! Rawr! I'm Sakuya Yamamoto!"

"Oooh," says Armadillomon, "I'm Sakuya Yamamoto's best friend!"

The two run off laughing.

"Don't you kids want your candy?"

Patamon and Armadillomon go behind a rock.

"Oh, boy, that was somethin," says Armadillomon, "your costume really packs a punch."

"Do you think," asks Patamon.

"Y'all scared the clothes off that feller."

"Who should we scare next," asks Patamon.

"There is that Halloween party and Sakuya's gonna show up uninvited. Oh, here comes someone."

The kids from earlier show up and Patamon tries to scare them. "Rawr! Rawr! I'm Sakuya Yamamoto!" Patamon and Armadillomon run off laughing again.

"Was that the lame ghost from earlier?"

"I guess he ditched the wings."

...

Everyone was at the Halloween Party.

"You still wearing that costume," asks Gatomon.

"It may be a dress and a girl's wig," says Veemon, "but at least I'll win that contest. So, what are you supposed to be?"

"I'm a black cat."

...

Patamon and Armadillomon are on the ceiling.

"Are ya ready," asks Armadillomon.

"Kill the lights," says Patamon.

...

The lights go off. As soon as this happens, everybody begins panicking and running around screaming. Patamon is lowered in appearing with a scary look. Armodillomon begins talking through a megaphone to scare everyone.

"Wa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! I am Sakuya Yamamoto! Booga, booga, booga, booga! Give me your souls!" A bee attacks Armadillomon causing Patamon to go out of control.

Everyone sees Patamon bottom half.

"Wait," says Cody, "it's Patamon!"

Everyone laughs.

Armadillomon gets out his megaphone. "Ah am not Patamon. I just have a cute bottom!"

Then there's thunder and the front door opens. "Enough!" It's the real Sakuya Yamamoto.

"It's the real Sakuya Yamamoto," says Davis as he faints.

"You got that right," says Sakuya, "and I have a secret for you. I'm gonna steal your souls." Everyone screams. "QUIET! You had it coming, you little crybabies. Every year, people dressing up like me." Veemon quickly removes his costume. "It turns my name into a laughingstock. But that's not the reason I'm taking your souls." She then points to Patamon. "Now, this is the straw that broke the camel's back. Out of all the Sakuya costumes I've seen, yours is the most insulting."

"Do you mean I'm not scary," asks Patamon.

"You? Scary?" Sakuya then cuts the rope holding Patamon up, causing him to fall to the floor. Sakuya then appears next to him. "Let me tell you about scary, kid. There's all kinds of scary things in the world. Spiders are scary, uhh, I'm scary. You... you're not scary. Okay, let's get this over with." Sakuya flies back to the partygoers to steal their souls and evilly laughs in their faces which makes everyone scream in terror, one fish even shaking his head begging for mercy.

"Patamon," says Gatomon.

"First, I gotta get rid of this stupid costume." Sakuya removes Patamon's costume... then flies out screaming in terror.

Patamon is now a brain attached to his body. "Hey, what do you know? I scared her!" The people then all run away. "It worked, Armadillomon, I scared everyone."

"Yep," says Armadillomon, "I guess we can think that pink hat."

"Pink hat? Oh, that's not a hat. That's my brain."

"Oh." Armadillomon then runs away, screaming.

"I'm sure it will grow back!"
